Prince of Chaos

Dong Qichang and Liu Pinru looked at each other, both showing surprise.

It stands to reason that things like this kind of granting a new name to a place, although it cannot be said to be commonplace, are also common.

After all, the willfulness of power in ancient society is unimaginable.

For example, naming a certain place, whether it is a high-ranking emperor or an arty literati, almost all have the right to do so.

Of course, the reason why they can be so willful is also very simple.

First, because of their high social status, they have a certain cultural appeal.

The second is because ancient civilizations were not as developed as later civilizations.

Because of the development of civilization in later generations, many fixed place names have many additional factors. If you want to correct the place names, the cost may be very high.

The reason why the cost of changing the name is so high is also very simple, that is because the original place name is deeply bound to various systems, whether it is in the domestic system or in the international system. Among them, such as communication, logistics and so on.

The stability of these systems is too important, and in many cases, many places and institutions are not compatible and synchronized.

Therefore, if you want to change the place name of a place, you can imagine the price.

However, these problems are commonplace for ancient societies that are still in the budding state of industry and information.

However, Zhu Changluo's next words are not so understandable.

He named this place Shanghai. Originally, this matter only needed a one-sentence statement, and there was no need to call the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department to discuss it.

However, after Zhu Changluo named this place Shanghai, he obviously had other plans.

And Zhu Changluo's plan really made Dong Qichang and Liu Pinru gasp!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to divide half of Songjiang Mansion into Shanghai Mansion!And it must be at the same level as Shuntian Mansion, Zhili Mansion!
This is not something that can be explained in a sentence or two.

After all, over the years, due to the rank problem of Shuntian Mansion, Ying Tian Mansion in Nanzhili has complained more than once to the public.

From Ying Tianfu's point of view, both South Zhili and North Zhili are at the same level of Zhili, and Yingtian Mansion and Shuntian Mansion are also the resident yamen of the two capitals.

Yingtian Mansion is at the same level as Shuntian Mansion, so it should be the right thing to do.

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince directly turned a blind eye to Tian Fu's demands.

Now that Ying Tian Mansion has not been upgraded successfully, the upcoming Shanghai Mansion will come from behind.

For Ying Tianfu who has been struggling to get a promotion, this is definitely something to fry!

At that time, the Six Departments in Nanjing City and other yamen with the same name and level as Beijing will definitely go to the shuffle together with the enemy, and together they will put pressure on the imperial court to demand that Tianfu be promoted.

The cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department, as the center of handling the world's government affairs, must also be baptized by Nanjing officials.

Although this kind of baptism will not hurt the muscles and bones, it will still make people uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, is it too hasty to set up the Zhili Shanghai Mansion?"

Liu Pinru asked tentatively.

Zhu Changluo glanced at the cautious Liu Pinru.

Zhu Changluo said, "Are you in a hurry? I don't think so."

"The scholarly spirit in the south of the Yangtze River is too concentrated, which is not a good thing for the court. If I remember correctly, there was an official who was relegated from Beijing before, and now he has established a so-called Donglin Academy in Wuxi."

"And what this person did in the academy was not an isolated matter of teaching and educating people! He gathered with a group of so-called frustrated literati and some so-called unsuccessful Nanjing officials, relying on criticizing state affairs and discussing Lonely gains and losses gather together.”

"These people think that they have the talents of the world, and they often speak amazingly and judge the mistakes of the current dynasty. It seems that they are the only talents in the whole world who are loyal to the country."

"To be honest, I don't like it very much! The imperial court has its own laws and regulations, and the implementation of every government policy is by no means a solitary one, let alone a mediocre policy made by Qing and other corpses!"

"What is the imperial court's policy? I don't boast, the Qing and the people of the world have their own opinions! However, these so-called people ignore the court's public heart, talk about the righteousness of the world, but act like a thief!"

"However, the country governs the world, and it is not punishable by words. Therefore, Gu has not investigated these people for their crimes of madness."

"However, these people don't think about the benevolence or the difficulties of the court. Instead, they intensify their efforts to use their influence in the south of the Yangtze River to deceive some young talents who are still young and have no human affairs."

"This is unbearable! But I still have kind thoughts in my heart, and I don't want to be a sinner. Therefore, the purpose of setting up the Zhili Shanghai Mansion this time is to create a test field for the imperial court in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River can have It is an opportunity to experience the imperial court’s policy through Zhili’s Shanghai government, so that they can have a sense of their own judgment.”

Zhu Changluo unceremoniously pointed out the rotten problems of the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River!He even directly clicked on the name of Donglin Academy.

Scholars discuss politics, ancient and modern!However, no dynasty has indulged scholars like the Ming Dynasty!

Although, in the early years of Wanli, in order to implement the New Deal, Zhang Juzheng forcibly closed some academies who liked to discuss government affairs.

But in the final analysis, Zhang Juzheng did not kill them all, but just wanted them to be quiet so that he could carry out the Wanli reform smoothly.

It's a pity that although some ideas are beautiful, they will offend countless people if they are actually implemented.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng's fate can be imagined.

Although Emperor Wanli was also angry with Zhang Juzheng at that time, but how many people with ulterior motives and fueling the flames were behind the anger of Emperor Wanli?

Although Zhu Changluo is now in power, he is close to the Supreme.

However, Zhu Changluo still had to take care of the leisurely talk of people in the world.

Therefore, when dealing with these people, Zhu Changluo would definitely not directly imitate Zhang Juzheng's kind of one-letter.

Zhu Changluo firmly believes that only magic can defeat magic!

Therefore, Zhu Changluo intends to give those young people who have nothing to do and like to comment on the government a chance directly.

Let them divide internally, instead of just listening to one family, let them also directly feel the spring breeze of reform from the capital in the Jiangnan area!
Thus guiding them to continue to be loyal to the court, and guiding them to become supporters and beneficiaries of Zhu Changluo's New Deal.

Only in this way can Zhu Changluo open up the situation from the monolithic Jiangnan, and disintegrate the Wenba and Xueba entrenched in the sky above Jiangnan!
It made Zhu Changluo's New Deal thought become the mainstream consciousness among scholars of Ming Dynasty!
In this regard, Zhu Changluo must dare to break the situation, dare to break the rules, and dare to make Shanghai the new center of Jiangnan!
