The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 147
Ying Tianfu.

The city with the largest population and the most prosperous economy in the world today is also the center of Ming Dynasty and the city under the feet of the emperor.

There are shops one after another on the street, and all kinds of market places are full of traffic.

From carpets, tulle, cloth, silk scarves, clothes, hats, boots, to beds, cabinets, stools, couches, chairs, tables, etc.

From rouge, powder, earrings, necklaces, jewelry, etc. to paper, inkstone, brushes, books, rare books, porcelain, etc.

A city with a population exceeding one million contains a huge economic market and is the pinnacle of agricultural civilization.

The daily food consumption of these urban populations is as high as tens of thousands of shi, and several million shi a year.

The food consumed by this city alone in one year is the sum of the production of most countries and tribes in the world, not to mention commodities.

Pedestrians coming and going on the street went their own way.

There are horse-drawn carts, mule-drawn carts, and donkey-drawn carts.

Vehicles and livestock entering the city must have dung pockets to keep the city clean. However, in the 1000-year-old Middle Ages in the West, it is a city full of feces and urine.

All walks of life have enacted laws to levy business taxes, rather than changing them at will, ensuring the wealth of the people.

And set up a supervisory agency to supervise illegal matters.

Even if he is the emperor's son, he is a prince, as long as he violates the law, he will be impeached and punished, condemned by people, and bound by morality.

Whether it is civilian, military, craftsman, or the most common people, they can change their class through the imperial examination.

London, the largest and most prosperous city in the United Kingdom, only had a population of 100 people in the 5th century [-] years later.

This huge city is full of order and civilization, and even the use of water wells has hidden wisdom. Visitors from anywhere in the world will be shocked and envious when they come to it for the first time.

For example, the kings in some areas would rather die here than go back to their hometown.

now.

People in this city are still living as usual.

The prince is dead.

How famous is the reputation, but what do the common people know, they care more about their own lives, and run around for their lives.

Only those who have fame and fame will not feel confused about the material things of life. They have broken away from material needs and are pursuing a future.

And the citizens living in the city have lost the constraints of the land, but also lost a stable source of food, and they are even more anxious.

This anxiety comes from consumption, not only to have a full stomach, but also the desire to buy abundant commodities, which reduces their desire to have children.

As described in the Martha trap.

However.

Like two lines that do not intersect, the other line is full of oppression.

"Huang Zicheng's plan is out of date."

Prince Shaobao, Minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Yu, said to Yu Shi Ye Xixian in front of him in the study of his mansion.

Huang Zicheng is Tai Changqing, accompanied by the prince.

"Huang Qing thinks that the vassal king's power is too great. If he doesn't act now, it may be difficult to deal with it in the future."

They are all members of the prince's family, or they are all officials of the imperial court.

Ruyu shook her head.

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Minister of the Ministry." Ru Yu's complexion remained the same, but there was still some panic in her words: "These people are all implicated by Lan Yu. Now we should wait and see and preserve our strength."

Ye Xixian didn't say much.

Although he has a noble status, he plays the role of a mouthpiece in this system.

He took Ru Xun's thoughts back and told Huang Zicheng.

Huang Zicheng sneered, his eyes full of contempt.

"This person only wants to protect himself, he doesn't care about state affairs at all, and he can't take a big responsibility."

Ye Xixian was sitting on a chair with a blue and white porcelain tea bowl in his hand, but he didn't taste it, he thought for a while and put it back.

"Ru Butai's worries cannot be said to be groundless. If something happens to him, it will be bad for us."

Zhongshu Sheng was canceled, and the prime minister was also cancelled.

The power of the imperial court was dispersed among six ministries.

The Ministry of Officials is the most important. It is in charge of the promotion of officials in the world. This person is the first to be implicated, and then the Ministry of Household Affairs.

As for the Ministry of War.

Everyone knows the importance of military power.

"The sage doesn't have a mobilization department, and he has already stated his intentions. He only targets Lan Yu's matter, but we are both in the prince's party with Lan Yu, so we are more or less involved."

"It's really not suitable now. It's the best policy to preserve our strength."

Ye Xixian persuaded earnestly.

Leave the green hills without worrying about no firewood.

As long as you survive this catastrophe, you can get back the lost things, but if people are gone, then everything is meaningless.

The Ministry of War is too important. If you lose the Ministry of Officials, you must never lose the Ministry of War again.

"How do you care about state affairs when you cherish your life?" Huang Zicheng denied.

"The sage decreed that the king of Jin will be in charge of the military power in Shanxi, and the king of Yan will be in charge of the military power in Beiping. If we don't take action to stabilize people's hearts now, the officials and generals in the two places will definitely turn against us."

Huang Zicheng's face was firm.

The future is important, but the country is even more important.

"People in the local area see that we only care about ourselves. Wouldn't it be chilling for them, and also disappointing the plans of our predecessors for more than ten years?"

If Ru Yu is the current veteran of the old school, then Huang Zicheng is the leader of the rising star.

A month ago, the strength of the old faction was extraordinary, and the three big bosses of the Ministry of Officials, the Minister of the Household, and the Minister of the Ministry of War were the core of the prince's line.

Then Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and the local Fang Xiaoru are undoubtedly the new faction, the core team of the emperor's grandson.

One emperor and one courtier.

Both belong to the line of princes, but the grandson of the emperor is not a prince after all.

As the accompanying reader of the emperor's grandson, Huang Zicheng has become the future No. 1 of the prince's family, and anyone with a discerning eye can see the situation clearly.

So even in the face of the opinion of Minister of the Ministry of War, Huang Zicheng would not give in, he has this qualification.

Ye Xixian, as the middle force of the faction, does not want the faction whose strength has been greatly weakened to fall into internal strife.

After leaving Huang's mansion, he went to the house of the servant of the Ministry of Industry.

Together with Lian Zining and Lian Zining, they visited Wei Guogong's mansion, Cao Guogong's mansion and other powerful factions.

"He still dares to stretch out his hand indiscriminately now, Huang Zicheng is really not afraid of death."

Xu Zengshou was dumbfounded and couldn't help sighing.

The eldest brother Xu Huizu on the side also bowed his head and remained silent.

No matter who it is, under this limelight, they all stay at home obediently. Huang Zicheng actually wants to intervene in the affairs of Shanxi and Beiping, and control them from Yingtianfu.

Is he really stupid or just audacious?
"Tell Huang Zicheng for me that he is not afraid of death, so don't implicate us." Xu Zengshou said carelessly.

Seeing that Wei Guogong hadn't spoken, Ye Xixian and Lian Zining understood his intentions, so they left.

finally.

Huang Zicheng's plan was terminated.

Because the real power faction does not support him.

In Huangfu.

"It would be great if Fang Xiaoru could be transferred back to the capital." Qi Tai, the left servant of the Ministry of War, sighed.

The new faction has formed a force.

"Fang Xiaoru was left by the sage for the new emperor, it's just a pity." Huang Zicheng's face was full of regret.

Fang Xiaoru's father was executed for the empty seal case.

Empty printing case.

For their own convenience, the local government used blank documents with official seals, and when handing over local money and food to the capital, the officials filled in the numbers by themselves.

Although it can be explained that it is to improve efficiency, it also gives officials a chance to do something. This kind of thing will be a big case in future generations.

In recent years, Fang Xiaoru's talent has been very famous, he is the leader of the new generation, the saint also summoned him in person, and praised him greatly.

When people thought that the sage would reuse him, they were ordered to return to their hometown.

When people mistakenly thought that the saint was unwilling to use him because his father was suspicious of him, someone immediately impeached Fang Xiaoru.

But Zhu Yuanzhang saved this person and told Prince Zhu Biao, "He is a man of dignified character, and you should keep using him until you grow old."

With such behavior, everyone understands the saint's mind.

He wants to leave this sacred family to the prince, and let Fang Xiaoru accept the prince's kindness, which not only shows his love for the prince, but also shows that Fang Xiaoru attaches great importance to him.

But the prince died of illness.

"As far as I guess, the saint will continue this kindness to the emperor's grandson. I'm afraid we have to wait until the day when the emperor's grandson comes to the country."

"In that case, what can I do."

Qi Tai smiled helplessly.

After all, they are not the establishment.

"The responsibility for this matter lies entirely with Ru Yu, this person should not be responsible." Huang Zicheng said bitterly.

The two have been at odds ever since.

It caused countless people a headache, and they all ended up trying to persuade them to make peace.

Imperial City.

The Prince's family has drawn a clear line with Lan Yu, and even became the main force in investigating Lan Yu's major case, in order to clear their relationship.

But the princes were not panicked.

The prince's line is the most luxurious and exaggerated team ever created by Zhu Yuanzhang for the prince Zhu Biao.

The arrest of some high-level officials did not shake the prince's line, because the new ministers who were soon promoted were also from the prince's line.

Because the court is the prince's line.

"Military Household Economic Cooperative."

Zhu Yuanzhang had planned for half a year, and once he made an unstoppable gesture, Sapphire was like a pinched chicken with no power to resist.

A snake can't be without a head.

Once Sapphire died, the general situation was settled, and all that was left was to wipe out those who were related to Sapphire.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was relieved, finally saw the denseness of Beiping.

this thing.

As Mishu said, it is indeed a sharp weapon to win people's hearts, but Zhu Yuanzhang also saw the help of this thing to military households.

Putting down the secret letter, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was complicated.

It would be nice if you could switch identities.

pity.

soon.

Zhu Di played the matter of Beiping Lanyu's party members, and his tone was extremely severe. They were to be punished severely.

Let them atone for their crimes by cutting down forests and farming fields, and because the kings of Liaodong have not yet entered the domain, the Yanwang Mansion directly sends people to manage and monitor them.

"Hehe." Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

The mind of the fourth child.

He was not such an impatient person before, it seems that his eldest son is indeed different from the fourth eldest son.

But thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened.

I am extremely indulgent to my eldest son, I have given all the rights I can give, and I have tried my best to train him, isn't the fourth son the same way.

"Biao'er, you have disappointed my father so much."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were cloudy.

"Let's rest."

He is old, and his energy is not as good as before, and it is too late to deal with state affairs.

Hearing this, the eunuch hurried forward.
