The travel of many princes was very stressful for Jiang Yu.
In the case of a murder in the capital, the culprit has not yet been found out, so forget about the other princes and grandsons. If there is any mistake on the part of His Majesty and His Highness the Grandson, their lives will probably be lost.
In the Jinyiwei Yamen, Jiang Yu and Song Zhong gathered together to discuss.
Song Zhong smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, do you think it is possible for His Majesty to cancel tomorrow's trip? As for His Highness Taisun, you know that I have no right to speak at all, although His Highness Taisun trusts me more."
"But His Highness Taisun's character seems to be gentle, but in fact he is very strong. So far, no one has dared to have the slightest objection."
Jiang Wei also shook his head and said: "I have told your Majesty before, but your Majesty said that this capital is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. If your majesty's safety is threatened, it will still be the capital of the Ming Dynasty."
"Don't think too much. This time, Your Majesty, His Highness Taisun and others cannot be stopped from visiting the capital. At this time, we must also demonstrate the role of our Jin Yiwei."
"Let's investigate the hidden dangers. If anything goes wrong, we won't be able to afford it."
When Jiang Wei said this, he suddenly asked: "His Royal Highness Taisun is very skilled in martial arts. You are always by his side, but do you know anything about it?"
Mr. Song shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness Taisun is indeed extremely skilled in martial arts, but he has never shown any signs of it. He rarely practices martial arts on a daily basis, at least I have never seen him."
"Only from the previous information, there has never been any opponent in the Western Region, but this information is not detailed. I really don't know how skilled His Highness the Grand Sun is."
"But no matter how strong your martial arts skills are, you may still be rusty after not practicing for such a long time."
Hearing this, Jiang Wei asked: "When the Northern Expedition starts next spring, you must guard His Highness Taisun's side and not slack off in any way."
Hearing this, Song Zhong nodded and said, "Even if I lose my life, I must keep His Highness the Grand Sun unscathed."
...
"Wow, sister, look, there are so many goods. I have never seen so many goods."
"That's a glass ball. It's so beautiful. I don't know if it's more expensive."
"Sister, come and smell it, it smells so good."
After the morning court the next day, Zhu Yuanzhang accompanied Zhu Ying, Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Mingyue to visit the capital together.
Zhu Yunxi was even more happy and jumping around. The emperor's grandfather was a little afraid to say it, but his sister was naturally fine.
Although Zhu Mingyue is a bit reserved, there are not a few women walking on the street. In addition, she has been in the palace for a long time. When she sees such a lively scene like going to a market, she also follows her brother to watch everywhere.
After leaving the inner gate of the capital, the capital that was presented to everyone was no longer the same as the one in their memory.
Although Zhu Ying was free these days, he had not stopped renovating the capital since the construction of Zhengyang Avenue.
Under the name of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, a business gang was established, which was probably similar to the companies of later generations.
Many of them, including the workers who built Zhengyang Avenue before, started to get paid for their work for the Qunying Merchant Gang based on a certain percentage of their wages.
On weekdays, they take care of food and housing. Once they have a job, they settle their wages according to the working time.
At present, it has not progressed to contract work, and it is basically paid on a daily basis.
But just providing food and housing is a big deal for many poor people at this year's end.
The main task now is to transform the entire capital according to Zhu Ying's plan.
Prior to this, Nanjing City had a rough plan, but this plan seemed stingy and messy.
The main place of expression is in Fangshi.
It can be described as dirty and messy.
Even in today's Ming Dynasty Kyoto, don't think about having any good sanitary conditions. In some alleys, shit
The smell of urine is particularly strong, and the people at the bottom have already formed a habit.
As for littering, it is already a natural phenomenon in Fangshi.
This is not to say that this is the case in every place in the capital. In the inner city, the residences of dignitaries have specialized people responsible for monitoring and taking care of them. The situation is completely different.
Therefore, even in the capital, the situation of polarization has become more serious under the impact of prosperity.
Zhu Ying's renovation is to demolish some illegally constructed buildings and expand road regulations, including strengthening and increasing the number of public toilets.
There are also dedicated personnel to keep the capital, even in slums, clean and tidy.
Therefore, the profession of sanitation workers came into being due to Zhu Ying's promotion.
Correspondingly, the position of urban management was also created in a subordinate department of the Public Security Department.
Currently, urban management is not called urban management, but is called the administrative office within the capital city. However, perhaps due to historical reasons, the common name has become urban management.
There are seven things you need to do to open the door to wealth: oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea.
Maintaining the capital's environment does not mean just cleaning it every day.
Three points for construction and seven points for management.
Even though it has received a lot of infamy, the role of urban management cannot be ignored and is extremely important.
No matter how wide the road is, the flow of people is diverted, and the random movement of horse-drawn carriages is not properly controlled, there will still be constant crowding.
The roads in the community are sorted out today, and road occupation operations will also occur tomorrow.
Even walking in the capital, which is already crowded, is a problem.
For example, in those small alleys, even if they are cleaned in the morning, someone may go to defecate and pee in the afternoon.
Zhu Ying pulled out the responsibilities of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department and the Public Security Department, which were originally responsible for this area, and made a more detailed division. Only then did he have the orderly order under the prosperity of the capital.
When Zhu Yuanzhang led the people to the road, a person wearing government uniforms came over quickly.
"Sir, you are a noble person, but there are orders from above in this yamen. No matter you are a big family or a distinguished minister, you must follow the rules of pedestrians turning to the right. Please don't embarrass the younger ones."
What is the most important thing about hanging out in the yamen?
It doesn't matter how strong your ability to do things is. The first thing you need to learn is to watch people order food.
Zhu Yuanzhang and his party seemed to be small. They were only supported by Jiang Yu and Liu He, plus Zhu Ying and his grandchildren.
But if you have a little bit of discernment, you can tell by looking at his clothes and temperament that he is not an ordinary person.
The government officials in charge of this street naturally did not dare to show off their usual dignity.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "How come we have never heard of such rules?"
The yamen officer explained: "I think I am from out of town. This rule is currently being tried out in our capital. It is said that this rule was formulated by His Highness Taisun himself."
"It was recorded in the capital's residence newspaper before, because there are so many people in our capital and it's too crowded, so we bump into each other easily."
"Sir, look at the front, don't you see that the flow of people is much smoother now, and they rarely bump into each other?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that it was his eldest grandson who set the rules, he couldn't help but look at his eldest grandson next to him and laughed.
"Okay, since we are ignorant, let's just follow these rules."
The yamen servant quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, sir."
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but asked in surprise: "You, a little government servant, do have some etiquette."
This changed the impression in his mind somewhat.
It should be noted that there is no time when a government official is so polite, and he seems to be kinder like this. I think he will not be too harsh even to the common people.
The yamen servant smiled and replied: "My dear sir, although I am a yamen servant, I live nearby. I can only wear these clothes because of Your Highness."
"His Royal Highness Taisun has schools all over the capital. Even former servants like me have the opportunity to learn."
"If you perform well in school, you can be recommended to the government to do some errands."
"When I was in school, the teacher taught me many times that no matter what errands you were doing, you should always remember not to do to others what you don't want others to do to you."
The Yamen servant had quite a lot of things to do. After a few more words, he bowed and went to the front to supervise.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that even ordinary people did not feel as if they were bullying others when they were persuading and telling stories.
"Dasun, it seems that you have done many things in this capital that we don't even know about." At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that along the way he and others walked, it seemed that the ground was neat and clean everywhere.
It's no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't notice, after all, he had lived in the palace for a long time.
As a royal palace, it is naturally impossible to say that there is any dirt. The ground is clean and tidy every day.
Even if there was blood spattered by executed officials outside the Fengtian Temple, there would be eunuchs inside to clean it up.
So for a while, I didn't notice this problem.
Zhu Yunwen, who had been following Zhu Yuanzhang, sighed in his heart when he saw all this.
He has been to this area before.
As the imperial grandson, Zhu Yunwen also learned from his predecessors and conducted private visits in private to check on the people's livelihood in the capital.
The impression that the public gave him at that time was that it was dirty and messy, the crowd was chaotic, there was a mixture of fish and dragons, and all kinds of odors lingered in his nose.
After just a few moments, he hid his face and walked away.
Finally, in the inner city area, after walking around for a while, we returned to the palace.
He did not expect that the eldest brother was mostly busy with government affairs on weekdays and had never paid special attention to these issues in the capital. However, the current scene made him extremely shocked.
These methods may seem simple, but in fact they are extremely complicated to deal with, and involve a lot of energy, but they don't make much sense.
The main reason is that since ancient times, there has been no one to govern such a dirty place.
"How did the great grandson think of managing the village in such an orderly manner?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask while walking.
Under the protection of Jiang Yu and Liu He, although there were many pedestrians around, even if they squeezed in, they would keep their distance from Zhu Yuanzhang and others.
The gap in status is there, and no one wants to say that they have bumped into the noble master.
So it's quite convenient to talk.
Zhu Ying had no intention of taking credit and said casually: "The goods of the Chamber of Commerce have been distributed in Fangshi for a long time. Many of the people we deal with here are poor people."
"My grandson has been here many times before, and the environment here is actually a bit difficult to accept."
"Clean and dirty are actually two different things. Even if you don't have a lot of money, you don't have to live in a messy environment."
"My grandson heard that the ancient sages looked neat and decent even though they were poor and had filthy clothes."
"That's why I thought of giving some normal areas in the capital, even the corners, some control over."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
He found that the mental outlook of the people he saw now was very different.
This is a feeling of prosperity, as if everything is alive.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was young, he traveled all over the country. In the eyes of the people he saw, most of them were numb and indifferent.
The people I see today have hope and longing in their eyes, which is their yearning for a better life.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a very thoughtful person. He didn't need others to tell him some things, and he also wanted to go to many places.
Regarding the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's biggest concern at present is still stability.
The Northern Expedition and the conquest of Japan were all things that only the great grandson had no choice but to accept.
How to make the Ming Dynasty more stable, prosperous, and prosperous for all generations is something that has been thought about and practiced since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
As a person who was born poor and worked as a beggar,
Beggars, emperors of monks.
Very knowledgeable about life at the grassroots level.
In general terms, as long as the lives of the people are stable, civil servants are not corrupt, and military officers are not afraid of death, the country will naturally prosper.
Everyone understands the principle, but it is difficult to actually implement it.
Today, Zhu Yuanzhang saw some of Dasun's actions in this small workshop.
This can completely make the Ming Dynasty Guozuo take more lasting measures.
"This method should not only be used in the capital, but also in other prefectures."
"We didn't expect that Da Sun's school could be of such use. From all aspects, these government officials are indeed very decent and in line with the image of our Ming Dynasty."
"Foreign envoys and merchants living in such a capital will probably respect our Ming Dynasty even more."
There is no shortage of other foreign businessmen in the capital's shops.
There is no dispute that Ming Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world today.
Different from the foreign businessmen in the previous life, here in the capital, the status of foreign businessmen does not mean that they are looked down upon. Instead, they have to be more cautious and follow the rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention that this is the capital, and even the common people are much more noble than those foreign businessmen.
Therefore, it is very common for foreign businessmen to be bullied.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw a foreign businessman on the side of the road. Although he kept a humble smile on his face, the previous yamen servant did not scold and insult him. Instead, he used Ming Dynasty Mandarin to seriously teach him the rules he should abide by.
The foreign businessman looked a little flattered, bowed and nodded repeatedly.
Now that the sea ban has been lifted, and the Qunying Chamber of Commerce handles a large amount of goods every day, the capital has undoubtedly become a holy place in the hearts of merchants all over the world.
No matter what kind of rare and expensive goods they are, they will be easily bought here.
The construction of a large number of factories also allowed many foreign businessmen to purchase many Ming products at extremely low costs and return them to their countries for dumping.
