Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 106 106 The underground industrial chain of Ming Dynasty that Lao Zhu didn’t know (please subscribe)

Under the halo of a group of famous generals in the early Ming Dynasty, Lan Yu, who was in the growth period, was eager to get more attention and join the Ming Dynasty's famous generals hall of fame as soon as possible.

Nowadays, the young man Wang Buli has shown great talent in solving crimes, which shows that he was not wrong about the person.

Lan Yu admired Wang Buli.

He sat at the tea stall and thought about what future he could have as a clerk.

If you want to get promoted quickly, you have to serve as a soldier and achieve military exploits.

With Wang Buli's body shape and a little training, he is a fierce general.

If you are to be granted a title of marquis in the future, it will be a noble lineage.

Although Wang Buli is not a fellow villager, Lan Yu believes that his family will take root in Nanjing and winning over a group of locals is also a good way.

If you can produce a few capable generals under your command, firstly, it will bring glory to his face, and secondly, we will also train talents for the Ming Dynasty.

While Wang Buli's group of good horses had not yet been discovered by others, he wanted to take them with him and train them.

Lan Yu knew very well that he would be granted the title of marquis in the future. If he could destroy Bei Yuan, it would not be an exaggeration to be granted the title of duke. After his death, he could also be granted the title of king like his brother-in-law.

This life is considered complete.

The predecessors have already gone through the process, and future generations only need to follow it.

Lan Yu was overjoyed to see the hunter, thinking about how to trick that boy Wang Buli into his account instead of working under Li Wenzhong's account.

There is also a competitive relationship between them.

That should be the relationship between Wang Buli and his father, Dr. Wang, who had treated Cao Guogong's family members.

Lan Yu didn't think Wang Buli could get into Cao Guogong's relationship by himself.

Figured this out.

Lan Yu drank tea and her thoughts drifted back to the desert.

He was thinking about the next campaign and how to avoid the failure of the second northern campaign.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not see Wu Wei's information soon.

Because all the excerpts have to be screened by Prime Minister Hu Weiyong.

Then select a small part and hand it to Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial case.

This is also a way for the prime minister to check and balance the imperial power after so many years of dynasty development.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very dissatisfied with this matter, especially after the empty seal case, and he increasingly urged himself to abolish the position of prime minister as soon as possible.

He, the founding emperor, still has to suffer such aggrieved anger. If future generations fail to live up to expectations, why should he be tricked to death by powerful ministers?

Wu Wei, the magistrate of Jiangning County, as Hu Weiyong's son, naturally had to be taken care of.

Hu Weiyong read Wu Wei's excerpt carefully and believed that the two methods he proposed were feasible.

There was a man with some ability who had to pull it up, so he immediately sent someone to send it to the emperor.

Moreover, Wu Wei was able to immediately come up with such an innovative method to fill in the loopholes, and it looked like he was working hard on a daily basis.

With Hu Weiyong's speed, Zhu Yuanzhang saw this secret on the same day.

Wu Wei, the magistrate of Jiangning County, is a very familiar name.

Isn't he the immediate boss of that boy Wang Buli?

After Zhu Yuanzhang read it, he touched his beard and chuckled.

Wu Wei is worthy of being a scholar, and he has no shame at all.

After understanding Wang Buli's ability, Zhu Yuanzhang did not need an inspection report.

How could he not guess that this idea came from him.

When it came to Wu Wei, he came up with it himself.

In order to get promoted, he would do whatever it takes, Wu Wei is so shameless.

Stupid and arrogant, Zhu Yuanzhang would not easily tear off the label of being a scholar.

"approved."

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the red pen, asked someone to pass it to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and continued to do other things.

He made such a big circuitous circle, all because Wang Buli said he wanted to solve the counterfeit banknote case.

Sure enough, Wang Buli still had something to hide from me, and he didn't say everything.

Zhu Biao glanced at Wu Wei's letter and smiled:

"Dad, that kid has a lot of ideas."

When the father and son were surrounded by eunuchs, they would not mention Wang Buli's name to avoid being inquired about.

Now the most important secret of the Ming Dynasty is personally guarded by their family of three.

"Well, if this is done, let's remove his shackles for now."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to talk too much in front of others. Even the eunuchs who served him, he learned from the lessons of the previous dynasty and did not let them gain power.

Especially at the end of the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs could depose and establish the emperor, and they would kill the emperor if they said they wanted to. This situation was something that Lao Zhu did not dare to think of.

In short, he didn't trust his ministers or eunuchs, he only believed in himself, and no one could deceive him.

Soon there were eunuchs trotting over to deliver the folds to the Ministry of Finance.

This matter was implemented quickly from top to bottom.

When Wu Wei received the reply, he seemed extremely excited.

If the two pairs of iron shackles weren't too heavy, he would have jumped up to express some of the joy in his heart.

"Wang Buli is really my savior!"

Wu Wei secretly made up his mind that as long as he could be promoted, he would have to help this little brother in the future.

What future can I have as an official?

You must be an official!

Wu Wei immediately asked people to ride on donkeys and go to the Shangyuan County government office. He would take the lead in this matter and must get it done properly.

The next day, all the district chiefs in Nanjing City were called to the county government office and told everyone to work hard.

This matter was personally ordered by His Majesty, and it was also to reduce petty theft in the city and the occurrence of beggars blocking shops in groups.

As a result, the merchants naturally shouted, "Your Majesty is wise and so on."

This is how Shaw's first cleanup of Nanjing City began.

Doctor Wang stroked his beard and saw so many soldiers patrolling in the direction of his home. He secretly thought it was not because of his son, right?

The second son is somewhat capable, but not so capable that he can be taken care of by the military.

At most, he has some common business relationship with the young master of Cao Guogong's family. The young master is not the person in charge of the military.

In particular, many generals have little power to mobilize the soldiers around the capital.

No one dares to have this power.

Military power Lao Zhu was stricter.

Doctor Wang is also extremely supportive of his son learning martial arts.

The Greyhound outside the city found two "good brothers" on the first day and asked them to leave with him at night.

After all, there are rumors that they will be moved to Peking to eat sand, which is really scary.

With such a long distance, it is so normal for people to die on the road.

As soon as the greyhound spreads a little, these beggars will panic.

Moreover, the people who placed them were not very strict in guarding them. As long as they did not enter the city, they would not be stopped even if they went out.

Greyhound took two people to the river to bathe and clean up, and asked them to wait for him here for three days, and after three days he would take them to make money.

This time, Greyhound went back to deliver new counterfeit money, and had to help two selected beggars get fake identities before they could enter the city.

False identity is the guide.

Zhu Yuanzhang introduced this system only two years after he ascended the throne.

The purpose of the road guide system is to crack down on vagrants who are idle and causing harm to the people.

The hidden purpose beyond the public rhetoric, which is Lao Zhu's real purpose, is to learn from the lessons of the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty and eliminate the free movement of the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang himself was a refugee, and he was a witness and participant on the grand stage at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. He knew that the demise of the Yuan Dynasty was closely related to the free movement of the people.

The serious refugee problem has almost always existed since the Yuan Dynasty.

Before the unification by Kublai Khan, the people under the control of the Mongols often fled southward, accounting for almost one-third.

After Kublai Khan unified the country, the refugee problem was still not solved.

The Mongols are a qualified war machine when it comes to fighting territory.

But it would be difficult for them to manage the conquered territory.

Their management will be as extensive as grazing. When the season is over or they want to eat meat, they will go to the sheep pen to catch a few and kill them.

What will happen in the future? Let’s drink wine and eat meat today.

As for whether the slaughtered sheep or the living sheep have emotions, they don't even care.

There were probably two main reasons for the large number and long duration of refugees in the Yuan Dynasty.

The first is that the Yuan Dynasty government squeezed too much manpower and material resources, which made the people unwilling to stay on the land and establish household registration for the people.

In order to support the war against the Southern Song Dynasty and deal with internal rebellions, Kublai Khan frequently and intensively squeezed manpower and material resources in the northern occupied areas.

As a result, people in many places fled away from their homes, leaving half of their houses empty, and went to hide in the mountains.

The second reason is that the Yuan Dynasty had limited absorption of the Qin regime's governing techniques and did not bother to learn them.

No institutional system has been established to effectively control the free movement of people.

After the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, it implemented a loose governance policy in the Jiangnan region.

The people there only pay local taxes and commercial taxes, but don't need to pay the rest.

The people in the north, who were further oppressed, moved south one after another.

Kublai Khan once mentioned in his edict that the "Han'er" in the north (referring to the people in the area formerly ruled by the Jin Dynasty) had fled to the "barbarian fields" (referring to the area formerly ruled by the Southern Song Dynasty) in large numbers.

Because Kublai Khan's policy favored the southern region, this is also the reason why after the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty, the big families in the Jiangnan region all missed the Yuan Dynasty and opposed Zhu Yuanzhang's rule. Compared to the south, the Mongols in the north could not tolerate the different policies of the Yuan Dynasty.

Many Mongolians from the "Zhenghuang Banner" who followed Kublai Khan into the country did not live as elegantly as the Han landlords in the south.

When there are more refugees and some people make a little noise, the people at the bottom can no longer survive, and it is easy to form organized forces to fight against the imperial court.

Although the forerunners are mostly driven by the new emperor, if the responders come together, the chaos will be even greater.

This is how chaos broke out at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was once a member of the refugees on the big stage in the late Yuan Dynasty, so he naturally knew this.

Therefore, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he immediately learned the lessons of the previous generation's subjugation and implemented the road guide system to block the free movement of the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the establishment of inspection departments at various passes and traffic arteries across the country to investigate passers-by and arrest those who had no way to lead them.

In the thirteenth year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the Ministry of Personnel to eliminate the inspection departments all over the world because there were too many inspection departments.

All non-important areas were dismissed, so 354 divisions were dismissed.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs was able to cancel as many as 354 inspection departments in non-essential places at one time. It can be imagined how strict the control over the free movement of people was at that time.

The people of the Hongwu era were unable to move forward without a road.

Not long ago, Wang Buli had to deal with an issue where there was no road guide. It was mainly due to his father, the miracle doctor Wang. The man from the countryside wanted to seek medical treatment from the miracle doctor Wang because his relatives said he had superb medical skills.

People outside the city came to the city to seek medical treatment for their mother who suddenly fell seriously ill. They were arrested at the gate of the city before they had time to apply for a road guide from the government.

Although Wang Buli helped deal with his mother's affairs, according to the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers guarding the city sent him to hand over the matter, so he was arrested and reported.

It happened that Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, so he thought it was justified and personally issued an order to release this person.

Otherwise, he will stay in Jiangning County Prison.

Greyhound first took a boat back to Jurong County to get new supplies.

"Is there any news in the capital?"

"Mr. Yang, please keep your heart in your stomach." The gray dog ​​gnawed on the roast chicken carelessly:

"Our craftsmanship is so good, how can we be recognized by others? What's fake is also real."

"But I heard that four more bodies were fished out from the Maxiang pond, and there was another murder. Was it you?"

The gray dog ​​just ate the roast chicken and didn't answer.

Yang Zhixian sighed: "Do we have to do this?"

"This must be done for the lives of you, me and the rest of our brothers and family."

"But I heard that there is a clerk named Wang Buli in the Jiangning County government office. He is an expert in solving cases. If he gets caught, he will."

"I sent people to look for him. This guy is extremely cautious, and the officers and soldiers are also taking good care of his house, so it's hard to take action."

"How dare you?" Yang Zhixian stood up in fright and took two steps excitedly: "We are dozens of miles away from the capital, and we have all heard of his name. Are you messing with him?"

"Master Yang, don't worry. If I kill people and ruin their faces, I will only think it is a vendetta. Except for us, who knows that the treasure banknotes in our hands are fake?

No matter how well Wang Buli, the little official, solved the case, he would never think about it. "

Greyhound spat out the chicken bones in his mouth and said, "By the time I finish this job, we will have earned enough to rest for a while."

"Why did the capital suddenly clean up the beggars? Did they discover the person you killed?"

"No way, who cares what a smelly beggar's face looks like!"

Greyhound told Yang Zhixian what he had learned.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like others to be beggars, just because he had been one, so he wanted to stop this career and not allow others to be beggars, lest he become an emperor like him.

The purpose this time was to throw them all to the miserable places of Peiping and Liaodong to farm.

After listening to this desperado's analysis, Yang Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor really liked to do this and let people go to farm.

Officials who were found out because of the empty seal case were almost all exiled to bitterly cold places such as Beiping and Liaodong.

He made counterfeit banknotes and did not harm the people. Which ordinary people can keep large-denomination treasure banknotes in their hands?

The people were not stupid, and they were all willing to exchange them for copper coins, which would also make them easier to store for a longer period of time.

Especially the people who have passed the Yuanmo Baochao have rich experience in this.

Treasure money cannot be trusted.

Don’t think that just because Emperor Zhu changed from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, you can make us believe in treasure money.

"You must be more careful this time. From now on we can spend real money openly and everyone doesn't have to worry. I can't even sleep well these days."

Magistrate Yang warned again and again.

Greyhound said he understood. He had been licking blood from the tip of the knife all year round, so he was naturally not Zhu Yuanzhang's subordinate.

But Zhang Shicheng's subordinates were unwilling to surrender to Lao Zhu.

We are living a beautiful life under the leadership of the King of Wu (who is self-proclaimed by Dayuan), but you, Zhu Yuanzhang, have to come and cause trouble and destroy the King of Wu.

The greyhound certainly hates him!

After Greyhound slept in the Jurong County government office, he put on makeup and went to the Hanqiao Inspection Department to buy a regular road guide from the Ming Dynasty with counterfeit money.

Directions are not free.

If the people need it, they have to pay before they can go out.

And this amount of money is not a small amount.

Three Guanqi.

Not capped.

Because Lao Zhu did not stipulate how much a road guide costs.

There is no reference to the status of scholars, farmers, industrialists or merchants or the value of goods to determine the cost of road guidance. In short, it is not something that ordinary people can easily afford.

In the ninth year of Hongwu, the value of treasure notes has not plummeted.

A piece of treasure banknote or a tael of silver can be converted into a pound of rice or a stone.

It's about one hundred and sixty pounds of rice.

Before you go out, buy a luxury ticket first.

This price designation was not arbitrary, it was also tacitly approved by Lao Zhu.

The purpose of setting such a high price is to make it easily unaffordable for the people of Ming Dynasty and reduce the number of times they go out.

Even if you are sick and want to visit famous doctors, you must have a strong family background.

Buying guides like Greyhound also has to buy them for others.

The price is naturally extremely high.

If there is demand, there will be a market.

As long as you are willing to pay, the people in the inspection department will also make money secretly.

After a large-scale war ends, many people inevitably start to enjoy themselves. This is human nature.

But if people want to enjoy it, they need the support of money.

The salary set by Zhu Yuanzhang can support his family, but if you want to have extra expenses, then I'm sorry, the salary Zhu Yuanzhang gives you does not include that item.

Therefore, if the people below want to enjoy themselves, they have to make money.

Then if you have money, you can naturally ask the little devil to help you push the wheels and get some things that do not comply with the laws of the Ming Dynasty for your use.

The people who set up the inspection department would not send these extra income to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Luyin is their unique "extra income"!

Zhu Yuanzhang had very strict control over the system of the Inspection Department, just to prevent people from wandering around in the early days of the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, there were uprisings in various places in the early Ming Dynasty, and this system was implemented to the end by Lao Zhu.

It wasn't until the various places became more stable in the mid-Hongwu period that Zhu Yuanzhang abolished hundreds of inspection departments in one fell swoop.

The Greyhound treasure opened the way, so he bought the guide he needed.

After he returned by boat with the goods, he found two good brothers who he had made friends with.

Greyhound first brought out chicken and rice wine and treated them to a good meal to calm their hearts.

Give them another suitable outfit.

Greyhound took the road guide provided by the inspection department, and the three of them transformed from beggars to businessmen and entered Nanjing openly.

It contains some deceptive specialties of Jurong County, such as giant geese and green tea.

After entering the city, Greyhound did not immediately go to business.

Just because the two of them looked so timid, I had to throw money at them to embolden them.

A table was set up in Shengchunlou, and they continued to eat and drink, and then went to a clothing store to buy some suitable clothes.

After such a round, the faces of the two beggars have also undergone earth-shaking changes.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Greyhound called the two beggars into the room.

"Do you know why we are so nice to you two?"

"I don't know, Brother Dog is our reborn parent. Even if he dies, it's worth it."

"Hey, there is no need for you two to die." Greyhound lowered his voice and said, "We are on an errand for the young master of Cao Guogong's family."

"what?"

The two of them looked surprised and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Greyhound coughed slightly: "My young master asked me to find two strangers to take money and go to Qinhuai to reward a few girls at night, just to stimulate other really rich people to reward them.

You two are all just trustworthy, do you understand? "
