The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 113 Zhu Di's Murderous Intent

There are more than [-] rooms in the main room of Shizi Mansion, and the other Langfang attics are not counted.

The eunuch in charge of the Shizi Mansion, following Zhu Gaochi's order, hung a huge map in the study, not only the whole country, but also maps of various provincial capitals and guards.

Under the maps hanging in mid-air, there are all kinds of classified classics, official documents and so on.

There is no extra decoration in the whole study room.

Zhu Di once came to visit, looked at the layout of the house, and then left without saying a word, which is also the biggest attitude.

Shortly after.

It was ordered that Zhu Gaochi would go to the Chengyun Hall to observe the government every time the palace vassals discussed affairs.

Zhu Gaochi was happy for a few days, but soon found that it was not a big deal, but rather boring.

These are routine routines.

According to the old man in the mansion, as the status of the Third Division of Beiping rose, the power of the feudal prince's mansion decreased, which led to this.

The former Beiping Dynasty was Zhili Zhongshu Province.

In August of the first year of Hongwu, it was changed to Beiping Mansion, in October it belonged to Shandong Province, and in March of the second year it was changed to Beiping.In April of the third year, Yanwang Mansion was built.

At this time, King Yan's Mansion had great power.

But it's gone.

Zhu Gaochi is in the study, because of his insistence on exercising and a reasonable diet, his body has dropped from medium fat to slightly fat.

The figure of the young man seemed a little thin, and he was a bit out of place in the spacious study room.

The young man buried the first case.

The desk is full of official documents, the walls are full of maps, and the bookshelves are full of reorganized official volumes.

Such a serious atmosphere gives people the illusion of being a big kid.

But no one dared to neglect.

No matter how old the seniority is in the palace, when facing the eldest son, they will show a respectful attitude, and no one will sell their old age.

According to history, the compiled population for the 26th year of Hongwu next year will be 37 to 130 people in Beiping, eight prefectures, 260 prefectures, and 500 six counties.

Such a huge population increase, in addition to the long-term social stability, is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang moved a large number of people from densely populated areas all the year round.

In particular, many large households have been relocated.

That is to say, it broke the control of the landlord class in the south and accelerated the recovery of the population in the north.

For example, the three guards of Yanshan, from commanders to military households, most of their ancestral homes are from other provinces.

Zhu Gaochi considers comprehensive factors such as population, market, economy, and mineral resource distribution, and thinks about the focus of current efforts.

China's coal resources are mainly distributed in North China, and a small part is scattered in the north of East China.

Zhu Gaochi drew a circle on the map with a pen.

this circle.

It includes the central and southern parts of North China, the western suburbs of Beiping, a small area in the north of Central South China, and a small area in the north of East China.

It can be said that this circle monopolizes [-]% of the country's coal resources.

As for the rest of the region, especially the south, there are iron ore resources, but there are no rich coal resources, which is the advantage of the north.

Then.

It can also be said that it can become a force to change the battle of Jingnan.

If I can integrate the coal mine resources in this circle and control them into the hands of King Yan's Mansion through commercial means.

This power alone can destroy the world.

But how can it be integrated?
Shanxi is the territory of King Jin, and Shandong's official power occupies an absolute position.

Peking is easy to talk about.

In the face of this complicated situation, it is better to take a point to show the face, or to fully blossom.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help touching his chin like Zhu Di, but the difference was that Zhu Gaochi used his thumb and index finger to gently pinch.

From point to area, first lay a solid foundation for Miyun, Changping, Xishan, Fangshan, Wanping, Daxing, and Tongzhou.

Then gradually expand outward, such as Zhuozhou, Jizhou and other strategic locations.

In other words, continue to surround Peiping.

This has a disadvantage.

Profits will be reduced.

The interests of the incremental market and the stock market are very different.

In fact, Beiping is still a new market, but in comparison, it can be regarded as a stock market, and it is impossible to reach the large order volume of the steam engine in the first stage of the market.

"Or is it the establishment of a branch factory?"

Zhu Gaochi put down the booklet in his hand, left the desk, walked to the map, and looked at the state capital on the map in thought.

"In Shandong and Shanxi mining areas, the establishment of branch factories can take advantage of the local mining area to occupy the market with the greatest profit."

"However, Yanwang Mansion has no control over these two areas, and it is easy to lose control."

Zhu Gaochi felt torn between radical and conservative approaches.

The former can expand exponentially, but it is dangerous, while the latter expands at a relatively peaceful speed, but it is better than stability.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door.

"The prince's envoy is here, please ask the little prince to go to the Chengyunmen platform."

After Zhu Gaochi heard it, he temporarily put down the matter in his hand, and hurried to the shipping gate.

Only in the attic of the Chengyunmen platform is the place where Zhu Di and his cronies really discuss important matters.

soon.

After passing the pass, Zhu Gaochi met Ge Cheng, Yao Guangxiao, and several other vassals.

People believed that with Liang Guogong's departure, the saint's sword would definitely not fall to Liang Guogong's line.

The same is true of things.

The first thing that happened was Song Guogong Feng Sheng.

Lan Yu took office with confidence, and she did not disappoint. She quickly led the army and won a great victory, defeating the momentum of Yuelu Timur's allied forces.

The strategic situation was directly reversed, and the imperial army gained the opportunity to counterattack.

"The matter of Song Guogong is just a cover."

Yao Guangxiao came back from Yingtian Mansion, and said affirmatively in front of everyone.

"Why?"

"Song Guogong's son acted illegally and was involved in a murder case. The saint started with this. Everyone thought Song Guogong was doomed."

"But according to the inquiring news, the imperial court showed no sign of executing Song Guogong's son, but was only imprisoned."

"Based on this matter alone, it is impossible to speculate that Duke Song is fine. After all, Duke Song has great prestige and is an old man around the saint, so he will not strike easily."

Yao Guangxiao shook his head.

Many things are often beyond people's expectations when there is no conclusion.

In the mist of Ying Tianfu's affairs, no one can guess the mind of the saint, because those who can guess are dead.

But Yao Guangxiao had a vague feeling that this matter was not that simple.With the saint's usual means, it will not be easily seen through by people.

"Throwing out the matter of Song Guogong is just a cover to confuse people's hearts." Yao Guangxiao said affirmatively.

"Confused who?" Ge Cheng asked curiously.

Yao Guangxiao pointed to Ge Cheng, then pointed to himself, then pointed to everyone in a circle, and mysteriously pointed to the southwest.

Everyone fell silent, bowed their heads in thought.

There is some truth to this statement.

But is it true?
It is also in line with the saint's past practice that the saint dropped the knife on Song Guogong.

Song Guogong.

The prestige in the army is not weaker than Liang Guogong, and in terms of seniority, Song Guogong surpasses Liang Guogong.

Even King Yan is not as good as Duke Song.

The saint himself did it.

In today's current situation, there are only a few people who are qualified.

Either Lan Yu or Song Guogong.

Even Ying Guogong Fu Youde is not enough.

"Liang Guogong is a member of the prince's lineage. According to what the master said, if a saint touches Liang Guogong, has it been decided that he will choose the prince from among the vassal princes?"

Someone couldn't help but say.

After saying this, everyone looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di's face remained unchanged, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Even if it is selected from the vassal kings, it is impossible to be the king of Yan. There is no such precedent.

If the sage chooses the king of Yan as the prince, where will he put the kings of Qin and Jin?

No matter whether it is the court or the place, people cannot accept it.

It is tantamount to rejecting the system of eldest sons since ancient times.

"Duke Liang must die."

Everyone looked at Yao Guangxiao in surprise.

"After the Duke of Liang's great victory, there was no movement for three months. With the strength of the Duke of Liang and the army, it wouldn't be like this."

In order to ensure the success of the war.

Ying Tianfu continuously transported various materials to the southwest, transferred a large number of officials to Sichuan, trained troops in the rear, and provided them to the front line at any time.

He also sent countless civilians to build bridges and roads in the southwest to provide for the march of the army.

With such a huge scale, there was no movement for three months.

Sapphire did have other thoughts.

"He is watching and persecuting the saint."

Like a ray of light in the fog, people suddenly realized.

"Mr. Liang is really daring."

Ge Cheng exclaimed.

"Duke Liang is young and powerful, with great achievements in battle. His army is full of cronies and has thousands of adopted sons. When he issued the military order, the army he led dared to attack Daming's city."

"Except for not rebelling, what has he not done now? What is he afraid to do?"

"He doesn't even look down on King Yan. He has framed King Yan several times, and King Qin and King Jin have been offended by him."

"In the past, when the prince was still alive, the civil and military officials of the prince's family respected the prince, but now, the prince's family has secretly formed a group, forming the same appeal with Duke Liang."

"This demand is persecuting the sage, making the prince's son the grandson of the emperor, and Fang Shuang has already joined together."

This direct power that Zhu Yuanzhang created for Zhu Biao is really too big, so big that even Zhu Yuanzhang has to treat it with caution.

Yao Guangxiao did not say a word.

That is the saint is old.

Even the prince can die of illness, who knows that the saint will die one day.

Zhu Gaochi opened his eyes.

The trend of history is indeed like this, but he doesn't know the complicated situation.

Yao Guangxiao's words also made him understand the details.

Song Guogong was indeed fine, before Lan Yu died.

In other words.

The knife hit Sapphire first.

Does that mean that Zhu Yuanzhang actually did not intend to kill Lan Yu at the beginning, otherwise he would not have handed over all the elite soldiers to Lan Yu and asked him to lead the army to suppress the rebellion.

After all, Sapphire is the head of the prince's line of martial arts.

However, the changes in the situation, and Lan Yu's style of work, even held the army to be self-respecting, intimidating Zhu Yuanzhang, and turned the power that was supposed to protect the prince's heir into a scourge.

Killing Sapphire can correct this power, otherwise it will continue to yaw and eventually become Sapphire's power.

Zhu Di narrowed his eyes.

Will he be able to defeat Lan Yu by joining forces with his second and third brothers?

He became murderous and worried.

With Lan Yu's prestige and strength, even if the three kings let go of their grievances and combine them, they are still at a disadvantage.
