Xinshun 1730

Chapter 912 Nanyang Development ([-])
Jinling is legally the capital of Dashun Jiangsu Province.

However, in fact, Dashun's Jiangsu is also in bulk.The Jiangsu Jiedushi in Jinling, after the rapid rise of Songjiang Prefecture's foreign trade, actually had no control over Zhenjiang Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, and Songjiang Prefecture, which were trying to implement the new government.

In fact, the Anhui Jiedu envoy was also temporarily stationed in Jinling to work.However, in fact Jinling does not belong to Anhui Province.

Dashun upholds a very simple military principle on the division of Anhui provinces: Anqing and Nanjing cannot be in the same province.

Anhui Jiedu envoy holds Anqing in his hand; Jiangsu Jiedu envoy holds Nanjing in his hand.

The reason why Anhui Jiedushi temporarily stayed in Jinling is actually because of the canal, water control, and Huanghuai.

Because of these three matters, Anhui Province and Jiangsu Province—Jiangsu Province, which excludes the four prefectures of Songjiang, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, and Suzhou—are required to cooperate.

Another one is that although the four prefectures of Songsu are economically developed, their political status is very low due to historical inertia.For the sake of Zhili in the south, ask the people of Yangzhou, Huai'an, and Xuzhou, where is your provincial capital?They usually answer that it must be Nanjing, which was renamed Jinling.

And, in fact, an unspoken rule policy that has continued from the previous dynasty to Dashun: the Yellow River bursts, the north is protected but the south is protected, and the water transportation in the north is not protected by the people in the south.All this requires a special administrative plan to ensure that the Anhui and Jiangsu government teams can maintain a sufficient distance and maintain a consistent pace with the central government.

Therefore, in fact, Dashun is actually three provinces in the Jiangnan area.

They are Anhui Province, the capital of Jiangsu Province, where the Jiedushi is based; Songsu Four Prefectures, which have no legitimate Jiedushi but are actually directly under the jurisdiction of the central government, and have some special policies; Because the capital of the former Nanming Dynasty and Anqing Nanjing cannot be in the same province as Jiangsu Province.

Liu Yu is not the Jiedushi of Jiangsu, he is more like a special "guardian eunuch" sent by the emperor, who has the ability to handle affairs in Songsu Sifu.

But theoretically Huai'an, Haizhou and other places that belong to Jiangsu Province are useless for him to speak there.The other one is that he is the "Waste River Sect" recognized by Dashun official circles. The official circles there hate him very much and cut off too many people's money.

This is different from Guangzhou’s status as a foreign trade center due to Liu Yu’s tossing. Not many people in Guangzhou can truly realize that the rise of Songjiang Prefecture has caused the depression of Lingnan’s commercial routes; but a series of problems caused by the abolition of the canal policy, In fact, it directly tore south of Jiangsu and north of Jiangsu, which is something Jiangsu officials see in their eyes.

Even, in the eyes of many people, it was Liu Yu who abolished the prosperous areas in northern Jiangsu, and several megacities along the canal with a population of 80 million in the world at this time.

In this case, if Liu Yu wanted to solve the problem in northern Jiangsu, he could only go to Jinling to find the Jiangsu Jiedu Envoy named Jiangsu Jiedu Envoy who was actually Huaihai Xuzhou Jiedu Envoy.

In addition to the Jiangsu Jiedu envoy, Liu Yu also had to meet the Huanghuai governor who was sent out of the town by the emperor to coordinate disaster relief, flood control, Huai River management, and river waste policies.This governor of the Huanghuai River is similar to Liu Yu, an official with a bad name. It is not a permanent one, but a coordinator sent by the imperial court to the town.

Now the general plan for five parts of the Huaihe River to flow into the sea and five parts to the river has been set; the policy of abandoning the canal and the original currency taxation of grain rice has also been set;

Under various circumstances, such a Huanghuai governor was created.It's just that the government office of the governor of Huanghuai is not in Jinling, but for the sake of coordinating the forces of the two provinces, it is in Jinling for the time being.

Regardless of too many civil affairs issues, the governor of Huanghuai mainly solves the problem of water workers. He is closer to a military cadre.

And, most importantly, the foreseeable chaos and even uprising that will inevitably be brought about by maintaining the policy of abolishing the river.

The governors of the Huanghuai River are all from the circle of disciples of the aristocratic compound on Liu Yu's side. The emperor made such an informal appointment in order to carry out his will to govern the Huaihe River and waste the river.But although he and Liu Yu are both sons of Wude Palace, Liangjia, or "old warriors of the founding princes", the relationship between the two sides is not too familiar.

However, the two of them could also strike up a conversation. After Altai Mountain defeated the Western Regions, he was the one who did a better job in the Western Regions.

In view of this kind of big traps and small circles, the contradictions between the sons and daughters of the veterans of the honorable princes and the bureaucrats of the imperial examination, and the direct contact between the two people who actually pinched the cancer of Dashun and the money bag and rice bag of Dashun, Liu Yu It can only be done in business, under the banner of going to Jiangsu Jiedushi.

Songjiang Mansion is not far from Jinling, so we sent someone to notify them in advance, so there is no need to mention all kinds of red tape.

Once the ceremony was over and he entered the hall, Liu Yu straight to the point talked about the problems he was facing.

"Captain Governor and Jiedu Envoy, you two are not hiding anything. Your Majesty entrusted me to supervise this matter. It is really difficult here, so I have no choice but to ask for one or two."

The current Jiedu envoy of Jiangsu lit a cigarette with his cigarette between his fingers. Seeing Liu Yu's begging expression, he thought to himself that you are slippery.This benefit is all yours in southern Jiangsu, but we are in northern Jiangsu to handle the matter.Since this money has enriched Nanyang, in the final analysis, it is the merchants of the four prefectures in southern Jiangsu who have enriched themselves, but they don't pay, but they are called the gentry in northern Jiangsu?
"Xing Gong, this matter is difficult to say, but easy to say."

"If it's simple, it's all for the sake of the long-term of the country and the local gentry. It's nothing."

"But it's hard to say. I just want to ask, is the trip to Nanyang only this year? If it's not just this year, next year and the next year, is it possible that every time it's a special event?"

"Yes, in the final analysis, there needs to be a charter. But how to come up with this charter is the difficulty."

"If Xinggong said, just this one time. Then the next official can supervise the matter now, or to persuade, or to understand the righteousness."

Jiangsu Jiedu envoy slowly recited another passage of ancient prose.

According to the laws of the State of Lu, the people of Lu are the servants and concubines of the feudal lords, and those who can redeem them will take their money from the government.Zigong redeemed the Lu people from the princes, and gave them up when they came, without taking their money.Confucius said: "Give it and lose it. From now until now, the people of Lu have not redeemed people. If you take the money, you will do no harm to your actions. If you don't take the money, you will not redeem people."

"Xing Gong naturally practiced this way. Let the merchants benefit, so the merchants enthusiastically moved to Nanyang. This is the way to redeem people's great wisdom."

"It's not good to learn from Zilu in the south of Jiangsu, but to learn from Zigong in the north of Jiangsu..."

Liu Yu was also thick-skinned, and said with a smile: "Businessmen are all villains. When the four peoples are divided, they are the cheapest. A villain talks about profit. Gentlemen are gentlemen. When the four peoples are divided, they are the most expensive. A gentleman speaks righteousness."

This sounded very correct, and all the officials present laughed. They all knew that Liu Yu was telling a joke to ease the atmosphere, so he said such nonsense.

After laughing, Liu Yu said: "That's why I'm going to Jinling this time. It's because this is not something that happens once or twice that I have to make a charter."

"This time, it's a matter of urgency. It's a special matter. It's really easy to talk about. If I really want to do it this time, I don't have to come to Jinling."

"But this matter, it's not good for the imperial court to issue regulations... Otherwise, it would seem that the imperial court is going to go the old way. Now the wind is a little bit bad, and I think you all know it."

Just as the words reached the critical point, everyone's expressions gradually became more serious, knowing what Liu Yu meant.

Some of the policies of Dashun at the beginning of the founding of the country were extremely disgusted by the gentry.The final compromise is also the foundation for Dashun to stabilize the world.

Some things are hard to say too clearly, otherwise it will be too ugly.For example, during the slave uprising at the founding of the country, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty arrived, the slave rebels who divided the land and burned the land deeds cut off their noses and ears, demanded that the land be returned to the gentry, and made decisions for the gentry.So did these gentry support the Qing dynasty?Or support Dashun who is on the side with the slave soldiers?

"The scholars in the city are big, and they beg for teachers from the 'king's teacher'" is not a matter of one place and two places. After the "counter-insurgency", it was also highly praised as "the husband has the world, and the land has the monarch and ministers".

It's not that some slogans about anti-shun and re-clearing have never existed before.Just because Dashun wanted to protect the righteousness of the world because of his face, he used the Confucian family in Qufu as a target, and put up a shame plaque for Wei Guanzhong, and the rest was not easy to put these things on the bright side and talk too much.

Now Dashun is going to deepen the one-whip method, try the permanent tenant promotion in Wendeng Prefecture, and wait for the high-[-]th tax reform system in Songjiang Prefecture, and there are rumors all over the world.

Some say that Dashun is going back to the old way again, some say that rent and interest rates may really be reduced in the future, or even permanent tenancy, and some even think that Dashun has been completely influenced by the Northern Confucianism and wants to start Juntian Jingtian.

Under such circumstances, if the imperial court formally issued a policy saying that the debts owed by the migrating people would be written off in one stroke, wouldn’t the gentry all over the world be in an uproar?

Now it seems that Dashun is showing off its power in foreign wars, but in fact there are a lot of internal problems.Seeing that there are reforms, water control, canals and Huaihe Rivers, and tax reforms, etc., it is really difficult to deal with troubles at this time.

To be reasonable, the school for Liehou’s children left behind by Li Guo was completely different from the system of imperial examinations for gentry.

But it's only theoretically not afraid, but it doesn't mean that you can really say "there are still such good things".

This is a deterrent force, and like nuclear weapons, it can only scare people into using it.

But the scariest time is just before the launch.

Once you really want to use it, you have to be mentally prepared to hurt your muscles and bones, and even be willing to cut your body.

All the people present were made in the officialdom, and they also knew that Dashun's national conditions were here, so how could everyone not understand what Liu Yu said?

Seeing what Liu Yu said, the governor of Huanghuai also came out to support Liu Yu a little like muddy mud.

"Xinggong's work in Nanyang is indeed a matter of benefit to the people and the country. I have read some books by Xinggong and know the significance of this matter."

"In the matter of the Yellow River and Huai River, water control is only a temporary solution. Although going to Nanyang may not be a cure for the root cause, it can indeed solve some problems."

"Your Majesty sent me here this time. As the saying goes, if you want to get things done, you have to cut through the mess quickly. Things like flood control, Huai River control, and waste water tanks really need special things."

"But... the waste of the canal, the control of the Huaihe River, and the control of the water can eliminate the impact in three to five years, at most ten years. Going to Nanyang is not a matter of three to five years. It's fun today, but it will be difficult in the future .”
