The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 794
The collections of the Ming Dynasty were carefully sealed and transported out of the Forbidden City to the cruise ship, and the grain of the "Nanming" was continuously transported to the official warehouse of the capital through the "Beijing-Tianjin Expressway" for storage.

Seeing that many large boxes full of things are constantly being transported out of the Forbidden City and out of the capital through the "Beijing-Tianjin Expressway" to Tianjin Wei Port for shipment, too many rich people realized something.

Not long after, many deep houses in the capital were also packing and boxing, and many rare treasures poured out of the capital.

Wu Youxing and Fang Yizhi came to the Wang Gongchang Medical Center to treat illnesses and save lives at the beginning of the year. Because many refugees flocked to the capital, an epidemic occurred in the suburbs of Beijing.

Fortunately, the hygienic situation in the capital has been greatly improved compared to the history. The cats bred in large numbers successfully eradicated the plague of rats, and the plague did not break out on a large scale.

The "Nanming" medical team has accumulated many means of preventing and controlling the plague. How could "Nanming" be willing to sit idly by when an infectious disease appeared in the suburbs of the Ming Dynasty.

Many medical workers came to the capital, and a large number of medicines were brought in for emergency treatment. Wu Youxing led several expert doctors to personally direct the prevention and control of the plague, and achieved remarkable results.

The medical team brought by Wu Youxing and Fang Yizhi has no prejudice when treating diseases and saving lives. No matter the high-ranking officials or the ordinary people, they will do their best, and patients who cannot afford medical expenses will be exempted as appropriate.

The "Nanming" doctors in white coats interpreted the parents' heart of doctors with practical actions. They not only won the love and love of the people in the capital, but also attracted the attention of many trespassers and spies, and some spies received medical treatment.

In the late autumn of the 16th year of Chongzhen, there was a large-scale immigrant wave in the capital. Many wealthy businessmen who had transferred their assets to the capital for refuge finally found that it might not be safe here, and they embarked on a journey to find a comfortable place again.

Shengdou Xiaomin doesn't care who will rule the world. As for "Dashun" and Daming, no one can tell who is good and who is bad. Everyone only knows that Nanwang is the best. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have any plans to take the capital as the leader.

Although there was a large-scale capital flight, the capital city was in good order. Because there was food in the city, the common people did not panic.

The common people do not have high requirements, and being able to eat two meals a day to fill their stomachs to [-]% to [-]% is happiness. As long as the common people can get enough food and clothing in the capital, they will not have to leave their hometowns and immigrate to the far south.

The affairs of the Ming Dynasty were difficult, and the civil and military affairs were more overstaffed. The old Gao Di did not return to his hometown, but went to Hainan Island to spend his old age. Gao Zhimou, the left servant of the Ministry of War, was approved to ask for leave.

Although Wang Zhichen was only in his early sixties, he was tired of the intrigues in the court and resigned to return to his hometown. Soon he received an invitation letter and rushed to "New Hangzhou" happily.

Liang Tingdong, Zhang Fengyi, Zhou Yanru and other serving elders also took leave one after another. Emperor Chongzhen knew that these people were going to show off to the King of Nan, but he had no choice but to keep them.

More than half of Jingshi Xungui also left, and many people may leave and never come back, because they have already transferred all their assets.

Some people go and some come. This is somewhat the same as the population flow in the early days of reform and opening up. Farmers went to towns, county residents went to provincial capitals, people from second- and third-tier cities flocked to first-tier cities, and some elites from first-tier cities went abroad to seek development.

Too many wealthy, powerful and powerful original residents of the capital went to the "New Hangzhou" capital of the "Southern Ming Dynasty" that they thought would be safe and secure, and there were many rich merchants from Shanshan, Henan, and Gyeonggi who superstitiously believed that the high walls of the capital city were as strong as gold. Rich merchants and dignitaries came to the capital to settle down.

When they left the capital, they sold off the houses in the counties and prefectures, and most of the people who took over were old landlords who fled the countryside.

Too many original residents of the capital sold their real estate at a big sale, and the low price at this time is comparable, and many rich people who came to seek refuge from other places sold their properties.

The reason why they choose the capital with confidence is not only because of the high walls and thick walls of the capital, but also because the price of grain in the capital is stable, and the polished rice has never exceeded two and a half silver coins per stone.

There is food and security. Most people think that there is a strong city, a strong army, and enough food and grass. The Ming Dynasty has been established for more than two hundred years. The capital has been besieged many times but has never been breached by any enemy. This time should be no exception.

Will Li Duyan take the capital?The answer is yes.Because the thief's bones also know how to spy on the military situation, the hidden piles and secret agents have already reported all the intelligence about the capital.

Many people came from Shanshan, Henan and other places to take refuge in the capital. Most of them were wealthy people.

More than a dozen or 20 people left the capital, and 10,000+ people entered the capital. Of course, many burglars were mixed in.

The bandit soldiers and bandit leaders of the pseudo-"Dashun" dynasty heard that the capital had a population of close to one million. There were so many high-ranking officials and nobles who ate oil and wore silk.

Huang Sheng's strategic plan to evacuate Shanxi, Shanxi and Henan has worked. Of course, the central plains will not leave their own people to implement the blockade, and food will not be transported to the inland. If they are too hungry, the common people can escape from "Dashun" Along the river and the coast, they defected to "Nanming".

The territory of "Dashun" was not small, and a lot of people were plundered. Unfortunately, the seizure of grain and precious metals was very limited.

In disaster years, food is more expensive than gold, and there is a serious shortage of food in the Central Plains. Li Duoyan is already regretting that he only focused on looting and did not organize production in time. Due to the successive years of disasters, the landlords have no surplus food. There are more and more mouths to eat.

The intruders had no choice but to adopt the rationing system. Of course, it was not a fair rationing, but a rationing according to grades.

But Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu, Niu Jinxing and other Dashun high-ranking officials are just as luxurious as the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty. They are also different from the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty. The beauty who sleeps every night is the groom every day.

It can be seen from this that these scumbags are not revolutionary at all, they just want to pull down the dignitaries who are domineering above their heads and replace them with the glory and wealth.

There is a saying that is quite true, the uprising of the rich who have no worries about food and clothing is the revolution, and the peasants who have eaten their last meal without rest are called rebellion.

The rebel leader Li Duyan began to worry, because he estimated that all the food that could be collected would not survive the spring of Chongzhen's 17th year anyway.

Now that he has established a country and proclaimed himself emperor, it’s fine if he can’t provide food and clothing for his people. He can’t kill women and children and eat meat like he did when he first rebelled!
