The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 548 The Rise of Guangdong

All cabinet members and six ministers supported it.

"It has been more than four hundred years since Jiaozhi left the Central Plains, and it has been more than four hundred years since the land of Yanzhao left the Central Plains. Today, the world is unified, which is the grand occasion of our Ming Dynasty's martial arts."

Xie Jin said excitedly.

"The saint unified the north and south, recovered the northeast and southwest, and established Uzang and Duogan. Later, he stabilized the desert, restored the northwest, and today he has regained Jiaozhi."

Lu Zhen, the Minister of Rites, was full of excitement.

Zhu Yuanzhang's old face on the stage was full of smiles.

Zhu Yuanzhang accepted these achievements by unifying the north and south, recovering the northeast and southwest, establishing Uzang and Duogan, and stabilizing the desert.

As for the restoration of the northwest and the restoration of Jiaozhi, it is his son's contribution, why can't he accept it?
Zhu Yuanzhang accepted it generously.

Seeing the saint smiling so happily for the first time, the ministers were even more happy.

The appearance of the ministers made Zhu Yuanzhang look at Zhu Gaochi with a funny look, and Zhu Gaochi shrugged.

Zhu Gaochi understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was laughing at him.

I can only say that I ignored people’s mood at the moment.

Cochin must be recovered.

Historically, Annan in the early Ming Dynasty was also a sacred and inseparable area for Ming officials. The top and bottom reached a high degree of unity in regaining Annan, which can be said to be unprecedented unity.

The current Annan is different from the Vietnam of later generations.

When people mention Vietnam in later generations, they will say that it was a region of China in the past, but in fact they have accepted the status quo in their hearts.

The Chinese in Vietnam have become a minority, and their culture has been largely separated from Chinese civilization. What else can they expect?

So Annan today.

In the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty, this is their homeland, an area that has been recovered like the land of Yan and Zhao.

Therefore, what Zhu Di implemented in Annan was a system of prefectures and counties, not a dual system of floating officials and native officials, let alone an autonomous region.

Only by clearly understanding the social climate can we understand where we have overlooked.

Just like ignoring traditional ideas, people have the inertia engraved in their genes to have offspring and have more children and more happiness.

In future generations, seeking to live without being reborn is completely different from the present.

If you don't give birth, you will be looked down upon and useless.

Men can't, men dare not go out.

Women can't, and women also dare not go out.

After figuring out where the problem is, the matter can be solved, and half of the work is done. Zhu Gaochi immediately complied with the people's sentiments and accelerated the pace of stabilizing Jiaozhi.

After unanimous negotiation, Xie Jin took charge of the matter.

"At this stage, Jiaozhi needs to distinguish between internal and external affairs, who are the people who love China, and who are the hidden enemies."

"I divide Cochin into two stages."

Zhu Gaochi pointed out.

"The current stage is due to land annexation, people are struggling to make a living, and people are revolting. Therefore, it is necessary to govern the local area and restore people's lives as soon as possible."

"The next stage is the Jiaozhi gentry who wantonly annexed land. The extent of the land annexed by the Jiaozhi gentry far exceeds that of the Ming Dynasty."

"This is a huge hidden danger. We must use various means to suppress this phenomenon. And when considering the new return of Jiaozhi, we must first appease the other party."

Listening to the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, some people in the palace looked unhappy.

The large well system is discussing the policy of using maids to increase the area cultivated by military households.

Due to the massive loss of tenants and the policy that land should not be abandoned, the big households just thought they had a way to save themselves.

Zhu Gaochi directly emphasized that even if the maid model was approved in the final discussion, it would only be allowed to be used in large well areas, extinguishing the newly raised hopes of the big households with one stick.

"So for the time being, we will put aside the interests of the large households in Cochin and use the power of industrialization in the Ming Dynasty to open up more acres of land in Cochin to resettle the landless people and absorb the population through industry."

When Xie Jin heard this, he expressed concern.

"The Cochin gentry controls a large population. I'm afraid they won't let people go. If they push it forcefully, they will resist."

"Easy first, then hard."

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "First appease the refugees, restore people's livelihood, become self-sufficient as soon as possible, and achieve an environment that is complementary to the mainland economy. Without the support of the common people, even if the big households resist, they will be like rootless ducks."

The Ming Dynasty failed to regain Annan because of insufficient national strength and was unable to change the situation of Annan's people's livelihood being bankrupt.

Let Annan's wealthy families integrate with the common people, but in the end they were unable to calm down and could not withstand long-term blood transfusions, which led to failure.

in short.

Just like the two stages mentioned by Zhu Gaochi, if the problems in the first stage are not solved well, the problems in the second stage will break out again, that is, the problems will pile up and things will be difficult to handle.

Seeing that his grandson and the ministers had reached an agreement, Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of continuing to interfere in political affairs.

The son is busy outside and the affairs of state are left to the grandson.

Zhu Yuanzhang will not cause trouble.

Retirement is retirement.

The ministers saw the saint's departure. Such a three-generation rule was unprecedented and a precedent in history.

Xie Jin, Huang Huai, Hu Guang and others discussed separately with the ministers of various ministries.

The transfer of staff, officials, soldiers, etc., as well as dealings with the vassal states around Jiaozhi, and even the management of the surrounding Xuanwei Department, formed a complete layout.

These detailed matters are handled by professionals, and Zhu Gaochi only proposes general directions.

Seeing the warm atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "The day when Jiaozhi is stable, that will be the day when the Ming Dynasty directly governs the vassal state."

In the future, the Ming Dynasty will become neighboring countries with Southeast Asian countries, or neighbors facing each other across the sea.

Such is the geographical importance of Cochin.

It is difficult to build railways in Guangxi. Relying on the hundreds of thousands of railway construction workers and the spirit of the Foolish Old Man to move mountains, the Ministry of Railway Engineering only dares to formulate the railway construction from Guilin Prefecture to Liuzhou Prefecture, and does not dare to propose a railway construction plan for the whole of Guangxi. It will be carried out step by step. .

Shipping lines from Guangdong to Guangxi support a large number of cargo ships.The opening method of Jiaozhi.

Merchants who delivered supplies to Cochin, in addition to receiving freight, could also trade freely in the local area.

The Jiaozhi Development Project was launched, and businessmen who had confidence in Ming Dynasty's industrial capabilities poured into Guangxi.

360 lines, line by line out of the champion.

Big businessmen do big business, while small businessmen do small business. Big businessmen have seized a large number of business opportunities in the country. Business firms that cannot compete with others and ambitious small business firms have begun to go overseas.

Guangdong's private shipbuilding industry has grown from one steam engine shipyard to five in a few years.

Despite this, orders from the five steam engine shipyards were in short supply, and the orders were even delayed for five years.

Fujian and Guangdong are both close to the sea.

However, Fujian has less land and more mountains, and its own productivity is insufficient. It does not have the advantages of Guangdong. Not only is Guangdong far away from the Jianghuai region, it accounts for nearly 17.00% of its original area.

With stable food, there will be developed commodities.

Therefore, Guangdong developed much faster than neighboring Guangxi, especially the Ming Dynasty's strengthening of governance of overseas vassals.

Panyu.

Zhu Yunwen's vassal palace was still not completed and he lived in a temporary camp. In a few years, only one courtyard was built.

Several palace residents purchased supplies, and the soldiers at the door strictly inspected them before letting them in.

Zhu Yunwen is studying.

There were several scholars in front of him.

"You go."

"Staying here with me will not only waste your bright future." Zhu Yunwen said with a bitter smile.

From hope at the beginning, to gradual numbness.

Now Zhu Yunwen has given up.

"Once you are your master, you are always your master. No matter where your Royal Highness is, we will never abandon you."

"Be careful."

"The emperor's grandson is in the capital, and I am just a Yue king who cannot protect himself."

Zhu Yunwen said quickly.

When he left the capital, there were still a large number of people following him, as if they were determined to follow him to the end. After a few years, there were only five or six people left around him.

The suppression of the former emperor's grandson's family in the court has long since fallen apart, and no one will place a bet.

"Don't be discouraged, Your Majesty the Crown Prince."

"Guangdong is a treasure land."

"Guangdong has developed at an extraordinary rate in recent years. There are five steam engine shipyards alone."

"Fujian has the imperial Leshan shipyard, but our shipyard in Guangdong is no worse than Fujian, but it is insufficient in scale."

"We are down-to-earth and will develop Guangdong well. With Guangdong as our foundation, we will not be any worse off."

Hearing the scholar's plan, Zhu Yunwen smiled bitterly in his heart.

Real talents have left you long ago.

The people who stayed with them were all of no use. If they left Prince Yue's Mansion, they might not even be able to find a place to eat.

Although Guangdong is developing well, it is none of its business.

Zhu Yunwen looked helpless.

But there are always a few people, and listening to their compliments, even if they are fantasies, is intoxicating.

After all, Zhu Yunwen was not willing to expel a few useless mediocre people.

It was different from Guangzhou in later generations.

The government of Guangzhou Prefecture is in Panyu. Since the Qin Dynasty, Nanhai County has been established. Panyu is the head of Nanhai County. Panyu has three yamen.

Today, with the changes in history, there is an additional Yue Prince's Palace.

Unlike Guangxi, Guangdong's railways were built earlier because, despite the plans of the Railway Engineering Department, the local Sansi Yamen strongly supported the construction of the railways.

Yan Bu, Lian Zining, and Li Xueyan, officials from the former prince's line, had been to Peiping before and were well aware of the power of Peiping's industrialization.

"Prince Yue's Mansion still needs to be built as soon as possible. We can't delay it any longer." Lian Zining found Yan Dun again.

Yan Dun was the former Chief Secretary Zuo Buzheng Envoy of Peking and now the Chief Secretary Zuo Chief Envoy of Guangdong. He was not directly from the line of the former prince.

"You."

Yan Bu smiled bitterly, "You are too soft-hearted."

"After all, I am the prince's descendant, and I also received the prince's favor back then." Lian Zining said without hesitation.

Guangdong is a freak.

The emperor's grandson was demoted to the king of Yue and came to Panyu.

There are also a large number of ministers and scholars from the former prince's line, such as Lian Zining and Li Xueyan, who were arranged by the saint to come to Guangdong.

Yan Bu even guessed.

This was a back-up plan deployed by the sage, using officials like them who knew the power of Peking to develop industry in Guangdong.

Anyone who dares to underestimate the ability of a saint is a fool.

Yan Dun absolutely does not believe that the saint will surrender because of the strength of Peiping. This is not the character of the saint, and he will not surrender even if he loses.

It's just that King Yan is the son of a saint after all.

This is the root.
