The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 104
Starting in the morning, take the railway for an hour, arrive at Fangshan, travel the mountains and rivers for an hour, have lunch for an hour, have fun for an hour, and then return for another hour.

A total of five hours, ten hours.

The young disciples agreed that once every ten days, each family would take turns paying the money, not only for the cost of the rail carriage, but also for all the food and items.

This expense is unaffordable to ordinary people, but to them, it is nothing.

Back at the palace, the ladies were chattering, even Zhu Yuying, who was always dignified, was flushed, showing how devoted she was.

"This time the eldest brother paid the money, and the preparations were not perfect. Unfortunately, it will take a long time for our family to turn next time." The youngest sister, Zhu Zhiming, complained with a small mouth.

"Yes."

"Next time it's our turn, we must do the best." Zhu Yuegui is very competitive, she has already thought about the next trip, and the other family has experience, and will definitely arrange it carefully.

The maids couldn't help but nod their heads.

Although they waited on him today, it was more fun than staying in the mansion.

Time flies so fast, it feels like it is still in the morning, and I will return soon, and everyone feels sad.

Riding the train is also fun.

Looking at the scenery outside the window in the carriage, it is much more comfortable than the previous carriage, and I am not tired at all.

Today, people in the palace are talking about the railway, not only the palace, but also the children of the various families after returning home, they are all full of ideas, excitedly describing what they have seen and heard today to the elders in the family.

"Young Master's idea is always unexpected, but the result is very good. I really admire it."

The 17-year-old Zhang Fu is tall and strong, with a serious personality like his father.

His father is majestic, Zhang Fu tried his best to make himself look majestic, but he was young and thin after all.

"It seems that you admire the eldest son very much."

Zhang Yu, commander of the Yanshan left guard, listened to his son's narration, his face was still serious as before, and he didn't have too much expression.

It's hard to see what he's thinking.

"My son was selected by the eldest son to help the eldest son manage the military affairs of the engineering team. After many days of contact, the more I know the eldest son, the more I admire him."

Only then did Zhang Yu become a little more lenient, and he didn't look so heavy anymore.

Regarding the performance of his eldest son, although Zhang Yu never mentioned it, he was still proud of it.

After looking at the children of various families, he thinks that they are not as good as his eldest son.

"Prince Yan's Mansion and our family have some quarrels." Zhang Yu said indifferently.

Hearing his father mentioning this matter, Zhang Fu's face darkened, only feeling frustrated.

His father was a descendant from the previous dynasty.

This is not a big deal, many descendants from previous dynasties in this dynasty can still be reused as long as they have talents.

Zhang Fu admired his father's ability since he was a child.

But my father surrendered late, and Hongwu only surrendered in 18 years, so the conditions are naturally different.

But a father is always a father.

Relying on his military exploits, he was awarded the title of Deputy Qianhu of Jinan Guard, and was promoted to Commander of Anqing Guard, and then Commander of Yanshan Left Guard.

It took six years to get to where I am today, for no other reason than my father's talent.

But it happens to be the same.

Father used to fight with Liang Guogong Lan Yu, and he was originally a general under Liang Guo Gong Lan Yu's command. Later, I don't know who took the shot, and was transferred to the left guard of Yanshan Mountain.

Although he is under King Yan's command, anyone with a discerning eye knows that things are not that simple.

Liang Guogong only had the crown prince in his eyes, and he targeted the vassal princes several times, including King Yan, and many people speculated about it.

This is the move of the prince's family, controlling the guard of the vassal king in disguise.

Zhang Yu saw the loss of his son.

"There are some things you don't know. There is nothing to hide from you now. It is indeed not a normal transfer from Anqing Guard for father to Yanshan Left Guard."

Some things need not be said too clearly, just click a little.

Zhang Fu was not surprised, he had already guessed it.

"Since my father took office at Yanshan Zuowei, King Yan began to reduce the number of people recruited from Zuowei. It shows that King Yan saw through this matter, and at the same time showed a soft attitude, and took the initiative to give up Zuowei."

Having said this, Zhang Yu let out a long sigh, and his deep eyes gradually became dazed, and he suddenly felt the insignificance of human beings.

The lineage of princes in the Hongwu Dynasty is unprecedented in ancient and modern times.

The sage has never suppressed the prince's line much, and even actively supported it.

So even if Zhu Di saw through the intention, so what?The only choice is to back down. This is the general trend and no one can stop it.

Those who stand in the way must die!
I am a general under Duke Liang's command, so I naturally belong to the prince's family, although I am just an insignificant pawn on the chessboard.

But no matter how weak the chess piece is, if it is backed by the prince's line, even the number one king in the northern border will have to admit defeat.

"Man is not as good as God, no one knows that the prince died young." Zhang Fu raised his head and said outrageous words.

There are only two father and son in the house, no outsiders.

No one will blame him when he is human.

"It seems that your mind has turned to the eldest son, so that you can say such things."

The eldest son is only 17 years old.

Moreover, he was a Sheren long ago, and it was also the convenience of the prince's department. He did not arrange to go to Yingtian Mansion, but stayed in Yanshan Zuowei to serve.

It can be regarded as the help provided for Zhang Yu. After all, King Yan has been in charge of the left guard for many years, and he alone takes up the post. Even if he is backed by the crown prince, it is not so easy to control.

The eldest son can see through these truths, and put him in the rest of the family, he has long been regarded as a genius. Zhang Fu is used to it, and he didn't show too much.

"The prince is alive, so our family will swear allegiance to the prince to the death, but the prince is dead, and the Duke of Liang can't protect our family."

Zhang Fu boldly said, "My son thought it was time to turn around. The left guard of Yanshan should serve the King of Yan."

"Ugh."

Zhang Yu sighed.

Isn't it an act of a villain to be loyal to King Yan now, not to mention that King Yan can trust their father and son?The son is young after all, and he doesn't know enough about the human heart.

"The eldest son respects his father very much. Today he praised his father in front of everyone, saying that his father's military achievements are outstanding. He surpassed most people in a few years. He thinks that his father's ability is one of the best in Yanshan Guard."

"The eldest son really said that?" Zhang Yu wondered.

I don't have much communication with the eldest son, and some time ago, I only said a few words among the people, how can I value myself so much?
Could it be King Yan's confession?

"How dare a son deceive his father about this kind of thing." Zhang Fu said solemnly.

"Father has always been prudent and never put on a show. He is an upright man, but the Yanshan guards respect the King of Yan, and my father is a subordinate of the King of Yan. It is just a matter of name. Why should father worry about himself?"

"I hope King Yan thinks so."

Zhang Yu shook his hand, preventing his son from continuing.

Just as King Yan took the initiative to let go of the left guard, he also returned it. No matter how King Yan intervenes in the left guard, he has made up his mind to cooperate.

However, King Yan may still have some scruples, and he has not moved the left guard so far.

One is that the emperor has just passed away, the other is that the situation is unknown, and the third is that the left guard can't escape, so why rush to act.

Maybe two or three years, maybe three or five years.

With King Yan's bearing, he could wait patiently.

Without this patience, how could the Third Division of Peking be suppressed.

This character alone puts King Qin in comparison.

People with different personalities, facing the same thing, will make different choices, and there will be two results.

The king of Qin has a tough character, he can't bear it, he uses his power to overwhelm others, and confronts them head-on.

Facts have proved that he is an egg, and Sansi is a stone. The local system of the imperial court has been unshakable.

The previous situation where the feudal prince's mansion covered the sky with one hand has long since ceased to exist.

Those who can't see the situation clearly will fail in the end.

Seeing that his father didn't say much, but his attitude was loose, Zhang Fu stopped persuading him.

His father's character and today's attitude are already the biggest concession. Forcing his father to speak up will only force his father to put all his eggs in one basket.

Anyway, there is still time, too eager is really not good, it is easy to give outsiders a sense of eagerness to change the door.

……

"Do you think such a junior's play can encourage people to take the railway?" Zhu Di felt that the eldest son...was a bit whimsical.

"Your mother talked a lot about today's matter."

"Of course it can," Zhu Gaochi said.

"I'm afraid that if the censor finds out that you are so extravagant, you will be impeached." Zhu Di couldn't deny it.

The dignified King Yan, talking about this kind of junior travel, treats it as a major event, he can't let go of this embarrassment, and feels ashamed.

"That's what the censors don't understand." Zhu Gaochi said the most outrageous words in the most ordinary tone.

Zhu Di felt ridiculous.

There are things in the world, and there are reasons that the censor doesn't understand?
One imperial examination every three years.

The best scholars in the world all went to the imperial court.

And Yushi is the most powerful group of people who were born in the imperial examinations. They have been observing politics for many years and patrolled the world after they became officials.

It can be said that one knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom, and understands the customs and human conditions of various places by heart.

Military affairs, civil affairs, commercial affairs, what is wrong with the affairs of the world?At least in Zhu Di's eyes, he thinks his son needs to be beaten.

"Could it be that in your eyes, only you understand the truth of the world?"

That's true.

Zhu Gaochi did not refute.

It’s not that Ming’s scholars are not good enough. If you dare not say it in the [-]th century, but in the early [-]th century, Ming’s civilization must be leading the world.

Otherwise, the Western missionaries at the end of Ming Dynasty would not exclaim that Ming Dynasty was an ideal country when they came to Daming.

The beginning of the [-]th century was the era of great exploration in the West.

The Spanish conquistadors set foot on Luzon, and vigorously proposed to use 2 people to conquer the background of Ming Dynasty.

Against this background of self-confidence, Westerners themselves took the initiative to say that Ming Dynasty is an ideal country, which shows that it is not a lie

But Zhu Gaochi has hundreds of years of knowledge, and standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, he certainly would not say that his knowledge is not as good as that of the ancients.

"Before the development of industry, in a society dominated by agriculture, it was right to advocate frugality, but Beiping City is developing industry, and the commission is frugal, so who will buy goods? If you don't buy goods, how can you promote industry?"

Industrialization brings prosperity.

It is also necessary to squeeze out the money bags in the hands of the people.
