Today's Nanjing has undergone tremendous changes and its development is not slow.
After Zhu Di left in the fifth year of Yongle, a large number of craftsmen were taken away from Nanjing to Peiping.
However, due to the geographical location of Nanjing, a large number of craftsmen and economy were quickly restored.
According to the normal historical line, even after the capital was moved, Nanjing City still had a higher economic status than Peking because it was located in the south. Peiping belonged to the north, and the food supply still needed to be transported from Nanjing City.
Jiangnan was the money bag and rice bag of the Ming Dynasty.
Without money and food from Jiangnan, the capital would be without food.
Nanjing occupies the advantageous location of the Yangtze River. Materials from Sichuan, Huguang, and Jiangxi will first go down the east side of the Yangtze River to Nanjing, and then take the canal to Peiping.
However, under this historical line, Li Xiao succeeded in the reform in Peiping. The local people engaged in large-scale planting and breeding. With Li Xiao's various new seeds and trade with the herdsmen on the border, the materials were abundant and there was no need to transfer grain from the south to the north. , and even grew extremely delicious rice such as Wuchang rice, which was sold back to the mainland.
There was no need to divert grain from the south to the north. The city of Nanjing became a companion capital. Management was loose and it became a rule of inaction, and the economy developed rapidly.
In addition, trains were connected to Nanjing, and various grain seeds appeared, as well as new planting and breeding methods.
The city of Nanjing naturally accelerated its development.
Of course, the common people will not enjoy the benefits of these developments. The gentry and gentry in Nanjing are laughing happily, making more and more money, and the land annexation has also accelerated.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were fourteen prefectures under the Southern Zhili: Yingtian, Fengyang, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Luzhou, Anqing, Taiping, Chizhou, Ningguo and Huizhou.
The water of the Qinhuai River nourishes both sides of the river. The water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are fertile places where rich businessmen gather. The wealthy families have thousands of acres of fertile land, while the poor have no tiles to stand on.
The gentry was a large family accumulated over several generations. In the Tang Dynasty, the gentry could even restrict the imperial power.
In the Ming Dynasty, their influence was not that great, but it did not prevent them from becoming local rich people and domineering.
Zhu Yuanzhang has always had no good way to deal with these nobles.
These families have spread out a long time ago, and through various marriages, they have developed interest relationships with people from all walks of life, which cannot be eradicated.
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there was the Xungui Group, which was a nouveau riche and relied on imperial power. In a sense, the Xungui Group could restrain the gentry.
However, many nobles had their heads chopped off by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the remaining noble group kept a relatively low profile while Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive.
These nobles can only be regarded as fake nobles now, but as time goes by, these nobles will slowly accumulate and form new and powerful nobles.
Yingtian Mansion, Qilin Township, Jiangning Town, where a large gentry family built on the mountain.
Seen from a distance, the foot of the mountain looks like a small town, with roads and large houses on the mountain one after another.
The entire family is like a small town, with hundreds of families and tens of thousands of people living here.
On the other side of this mountain is the Yangtze River. It can be said to be a land of green water and green mountains, surrounded by mountains and rivers, a treasure of Feng Shui!
A small town built on the mountain, there are breakfast shops, restaurants, and cloth shops. All the shops on one street are owned by the Tang family.
In addition to houses, there are many workshops, weaving workshops, wine making workshops, and paper workshops.
If such a place is enclosed, it can be self-sufficient, and in troubled times, it can dominate the mountain and become king.
Everyone here relies on the Tang family for their livelihood, and most of them have been following the Tang family for generations. The Tang family has developed to this day. There are businessmen and court officials in the family, and the family has a great business.
There are hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in the local area, but only a few hundred thousand acres on the surface.
Most of these hundreds of thousands of acres do not need to pay taxes. They are tax-free if they are affiliated with the clan members who are famous and famous.
The entire township's tax revenue could not be collected by the government officials even if the Tang family did not ask for it.
There are also many industries, including cloth shops, salt shops, and tea shops operating in Nanjing City.
"I've met the head of the family."
"I've met the head of the family."
"I've met the head of the family."
Tang Tianbao, the head of the Tang family, returned home from outside on a walking stick carried by eight people.
Walking back home along the country path, passing through the neat streets paved with bluestones, people on both sides of the street bowed and saluted, and did not get up until they were no longer visible.
This entire street and town belongs to the Tang family, and their style is indeed greater than that of the county magistrate, and the county magistrate also depends on his face to act.
If a civil dispute arises in this area, it will not be reported to the official. Instead, it will be decided by the elders of the Tang family. If it is reported to the official, you will not be able to live here in the future. You will have to go far away. If you walk slowly, you may not be able to leave. .
Here, the Tang family has the power of life and death. This means that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, and it is even more serious in the south than in the north.
Returning to the mansion halfway up the mountain, all the servants in the mansion were busy, bringing tea, and then bowed to wait.
At this time, the head of the family, Tang Tianbao, was holding the teacup in his hand and turning it around, his white brows furrowed, worrying about what happened in the dormitory this time.
Not long ago, a stranger came to visit.
The stranger then told him about the development in Peiping.
At the beginning, Peking first established housing estates and then factories, which gradually attracted all the tenants away, leaving a large amount of land idle for large households.
Later, the government forcibly took away the land at a low price on the grounds that no one was cultivating the land, and gradually emptied the land of the local gentry.
In the end, all the land was taken away by the government. By the time they resisted, it was already too late. If anyone resisted, they were immediately suppressed by the Han King Zhu Gaoxu.
The land that the family had accumulated through several generations of hard work was taken away by the government in this way.
In the eyes of these big business owners, this is simply plundering and plundering, which is completely unscrupulous!
"Why did such a ruthless person appear in Ming Dynasty?"
"There is really no royal law in this world, and the rule of law has collapsed!"
In the hall, Tang Tianbao stood up slowly, his eyes flashing.
The majesty of a superior person emanated.
The servants around him were trembling. He had managed Qilin Township for a long time, like a local emperor, and his courage was unmatched by many high-ranking officials in the imperial court.
Tang Tianbao was very angry and muttered to himself:
"Think of me, the Tang family. We have always been law-abiding, safe and sound, serving the imperial court and keeping the people safe. Now, the imperial court is sending state advisors to Nanjing to create some kind of settlement. Isn't it because they want to be like Peking and take back all the land to the imperial court! , Robbers, really robbers, Lao Zhu’s family are all robbers! Will the ancestral heritage of my Tang family be lost when it reaches my generation? How will I face my ancestors in the future?"
If you look at it from Tang Tianbao's perspective, he is indeed aggrieved.
Members of the family have received Confucian education since childhood, and they have never broken laws or disciplines. They often have talented people working in the court, who are honest and upright.
They are not harsh on the people below, and let them live and work in peace and contentment. If there is any violation of discipline in Qilin Township, they will deal with it impartially and return justice to others without the court taking action.
In his opinion, the Tang family is more kind than those gangsters in the government.
Of course, this is from the Tang family's perspective.
From Li Xiao's point of view, it's a different view. If the country is controlled by a number of aristocratic families, the country will not be a country and will collapse sooner or later.
"Dad, we can't sit still and wait for death. If that bullshit Imperial Preceptor really wants to mess with us step by step like this, it will lead to death and destruction. I don't believe it. If this Imperial Preceptor is allowed to do whatever he wants, can the old Zhu family be able to secure the world?? "
The speaker was Tang Mingcheng, the eldest son of the Tang family and the heir to the next generation of the Tang family. He was in his forties. He said angrily: "At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when grandpa was still here, Zhu Yuanzhang was in charge of Nanjing, and every family in Yingtian Mansion was... We provide money, food, and people. Our family alone provides two to fifty thousand taels of silver, one thousand soldiers, and five thousand dan of food. Without the support of people like us, would Zhu Yuanzhang be where he is today??"
"What's the use of mentioning these old and rotten grains now."
The head of the family, Tang Tianbao, said slowly: "Zhu Yuanzhang has long since refused to admit his old feelings. The rabbits have died and the dogs have been cooked, and the birds have been hidden. He even killed the founding heroes, and now he has freed up his hands to deal with us. I am extremely merciful." It's strange, this Zhu Yuanzhang is already over eighty this year, and he's still jumping around, he's in really good health."
The Tang family father and son talked without lowering their voices or having any scruples.
When talking about the Supreme Emperor, they always address him directly as Zhu Yuanzhang. The entire Tang family is built on the mountain. Tens of thousands of people are members of the Tang family, so words cannot spread at all.
The prince Tang Mingcheng said: "Father, I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was about to die, but he was revived by the national preceptor Li Xiao, and his life was extended. Now he is alive and kicking. The two saints have been thinking about ways to make reforms to deal with us all day long. .”
"No wonder."
Tang Tianbao sighed: "No wonder this imperial master acted so unscrupulously and saved Zhu Yuanzhang's life. Who can compare with this contribution? If you want to use the connections of the imperial court to impeach Li Xiao, you may be shooting yourself in the foot. , it’s difficult.”
The atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward situation.
There was silence for a long time.
Tang Mingcheng glanced at his father and whispered: "Dad, the matter has already happened, we can only continue the child's immature idea."
In fact, this Tang Mingcheng had his own ideas, and his previous angry words were just a preparation for what was to come next.
Tang Tianbao sat down slowly, looked at his eldest son and said, "Mingcheng, half of dad's feet are about to be buried. In the future, the Tang family's huge property will also be handed over to you. Dad is very pleased that you can make suggestions. Say it."
The head of the family already had an idea in his mind, but if he wanted his son to inherit his position, he still needed this test to see his true attitude.
Tang Mingcheng said cautiously: "My child has inquired about the current situation of the once big families in Peking. Some are lonely, some are seeking change, those who remain unchanged are dead, and those who seek change have survived. This is also a helpless move, dad, if If we really get to this point, let’s surrender. We can’t really go against the imperial court.”
Having said this, Tang Tianbao's face turned cold.
Seeing this, Tang Mingcheng could only express his thoughts quickly:
"If the imperial court really wants to take over the land, and we show our sincerity, they will definitely give us a good price. With so much land, we have a bargaining chip. When the time comes, it won't be easy for the imperial court to grant land to build factories and provide technology. Can you survive? My child, I heard that many big factories in Peiping make a lot of money."
After all, Tang Mingcheng was younger and his thoughts were more active than those of the older generation. He thought about it for several days and came up with the best solution.
However, in the minds of the older generation, this idea is treasonous.
"Idiot, idiot!!! Short-sighted! After all these years with your father, you still come up with such a bad idea!"
Tang Tianbao wanted to give his son a test, but he was very angry after hearing it.
He hit the table with his cane so hard that the teacup shattered on the floor, his anger overwhelming.
"Dad, calm down."
Tang Mingcheng shivered with fear and knelt on the ground.
Tang Tianbao glared angrily and said: "Idiot, these lands have been accumulated by the Tang family for generations. I asked you to think of a way, and you just came up with this way?? If you only have this kind of brain, I think the position of the head of the family, Might as well leave it to the second child.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Mingcheng broke into a cold sweat and said, "Dad, my son also gave me some advice, but he didn't say that he must do this. Just think that I said something wrong."
Tang Tianbao said angrily: "You dare to say something but don't take it seriously. How did I teach you since you were a child? If you say something out, the water will be thrown out. A gentleman's words will be swift and whipped. Can you take it back?"
Hearing this, Tang Mingcheng felt that he was not a human being inside and outside, so he could only grit his teeth and said: "Dad, aren't we discussing this with you? I can't really go against the court, right?"
"So what if you go against the imperial court?"
Tang Tianbao slapped the table and said: "How can we run a family with weak bones? If everyone is like you, Nanjing will fall into the same situation as Peking sooner or later, and the family business left by our ancestors will be ruined."
Tang Mingcheng said: "Going against the imperial court is like hitting a stone with an egg. Besides, there's nothing wrong with surrendering. We built a factory, and it might be an opportunity."
"Shit!!"
Tang Tianbao sneered: "Do you know why the Tang family can be passed down from generation to generation until now? Two hundred years ago, the Tang family has become more and more prosperous?"
Without waiting for the prince Tang Mingcheng to answer, Tang Tianbao said loudly:
"It's because of these lands! As long as these lands exist, they can continue to produce food. In the prosperous times, the food can be turned into silver and the family can grow.
In troubled times, what use is money?
In times of famine and war, only food is the hard currency!
If there is food, there will be people. As long as there are people, even in troubled times, we can surround this mountain and be self-sufficient.
When the world is at peace, no matter who becomes the emperor in the world, the country changes, but the Tang family remains unchanged, the Tang family will do whatever they want! "
"Dad" Tang Mingcheng was speechless.
Tang Tianbao continued: "Let me ask you, according to the factory you built, can you guarantee that it will always be run properly, and even be passed on to future generations, and it will remain standing?"
Tang Mingcheng murmured: "If there are unworthy descendants, they will fall."
Tang Tianbao chuckled and said: "Don't you understand? Land is the key to our Tang family's ability to survive. As long as the land exists, even if there are unworthy descendants in future generations, the land can still continue to produce food and enjoy the benefits. This cannot be done. Substitute, you understand? Without land, there is no telling which generation of the Tang family will decline! In the event of natural or man-made disasters, even money cannot be exchanged for food, and the same decline will occur!"
"Children understand these principles, but"
The prince Tang Mingcheng was really unable to argue. He wanted to say that even if this was the case, the court would not be able to resist. It would be better to just go along and get the benefits as soon as possible.
But he didn't dare to say these words anymore.
Otherwise, the position of head of the family may really be missed by him.
Soon, someone came in.
Tang Mingcheng finally realized that he had been tricked.
At this time, the second son Tang Mingyi walked in, cupped his hands and said:
"Dad, I have already heard clearly that the older generation of all the big families in the Fourteenth Prefecture of Nanjing do not want to sit still and wait for death. 'Mr. Liang' formed a bureau called 'Thunderstorm Talks' and called on the older generation to go to Hangzhou Prefecture together. Let’s discuss important matters together.”
After hearing this, Tang Mingcheng finally understood that his father had already planned it, and the conversation just now was probably a test for him.
Obviously, if he failed this test, he would no longer be the head of the family.
Tang Tianbao nodded slowly and frowned: "Who is this Mr. Liang?"
Tang Mingyi said: "The people who came to our village not long ago are Mr. Liang's people. However, this group of people has disappeared and has not been found out yet."
Tang Tianbao wondered: "Could this Mr. Liang be the mastermind of the Imperial Master Li Xiao, who wants to catch all of us old guys in one fell swoop? If we old guys are killed in one fell swoop, the affairs behind the Imperial Master will be easier to handle. "
Tang Tianbao is a very smart person and will always be skeptical when encountering things.
"Probably not. I contacted him privately and felt that he was not a national teacher."
Tang Mingyi opened the cloth he was holding and said, "Look, dad, this is a firearm given by Mr. Liang's gang. It's called a flintlock gun. It's a new type of firearm. They said that as long as we are willing to participate in the talks, Fifty flintlock guns were immediately presented. The child has already tried it, and it is very powerful. If someone from the Imperial Preceptor would be stupid enough to provide such a firearm, would it be difficult to deal with him? "
"Flintlock?"
Tang Tianbao took the flintlock gun, looked at it carefully, and then pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The teacup on the table shattered.
It is extremely powerful and highly accurate.
What's more important is that there is no need to ignite it, but it can be fired by pulling the trigger.
"nice one!"
Tang Tianbao's eyes lit up and he said in shock: "This is even more powerful than the guns in our village. Being able to provide this firearm is enough to show that Mr. Liang is not with that Li Xiao. Although Mr. Liang's origin is unknown, , but friends are not enemies, and I am afraid that he has some trouble with the Imperial Preceptor. Otherwise, how could he have gotten the news before the Imperial Preceptor arrived and formed a plan to deal with the Imperial Preceptor. For this thunderstorm meeting, it seems that I have to go there in person to find out the truth. "
After saying that, he threw the flintlock gun to his second son and said: "Take this gun to the craftsmen in the village to develop it and see if it can be made. Select another fifty people and go to the back mountain to practice flintlock gun. We also need people to maintain our native guns and cannons, and be ready for war!"
The second son said excitedly: "Dad, I accept my order! As long as all of us in the Nanjing family work together to turn Nanjing into a turmoil, we will not be able to stop it and the emperor will have no choice but to give in."
"When people unite, the mountains will move!"
Tang Tianbao's eyes were cold, and he squeezed the bones of his hand, making a crackling sound. It could be seen that he was also a ruthless Lian Jiazi when he was young, and said: "I will look at the situation during this meeting. Naturally, our Tang family will not do anything like this." The first bird, but if we can all work together to overcome the difficulties, so what if we fight hard? If the court wants the land, it must first step over our corpses!!"
After saying that, he looked at the prince Tang Mingcheng and said displeasedly: "Go to the ancestral hall and face the wall. Think clearly before coming out."
The second son Tang Mingyi stood beside him and said: "Brother, you are the head of the next generation of the family. If you don't have the courage, you can't manage the property of this big family. Don't worry, with my younger brother here, you will never let anyone get involved in the Tang family." A field, an acre of land, it was all acquired by our ancestors.”
"Yes, dad, I know I was wrong."
Tang Mingcheng cupped his hands and retreated.
He had been to Peiping, so he had the idea of surrendering because he had watched the movie The Heroes of the Ming Dynasty.
"Why"
Tang Mingcheng sighed again. Even if everyone in Nanjing unites, can they deal with it? Li Xiao is a ruthless man who can destroy the Japanese country and tens of thousands of Japanese pirates.
That's it.
The head of the family, Tang Tianbao, immediately went to Hangzhou Mansion to attend the thunderstorm talks.
People of the older generation from aristocratic families like Tang Tianbao all went there one after another.
After accepting the negotiation, the Tang family got fifty flintlock guns as expected.
The second son Tang Mingyi immediately organized fifty brave young men to practice spears in the back hill all day long. The craftsmen also began to maintain the dusty earthen guns and cannons in the village.
There are hundreds of people like the Tang family. Almost every family is like this. They are secretly making various preparations. The storm is about to come. I am afraid that a bloody storm will hit this Ming Dynasty land soon!
Boom boom boom boom——
The train traveled for a day and a night, and the early morning light of the second day shone through the window and fell on Li Xiao's luxurious bed. Li Xiao opened his sleepy eyes.
When he woke up again, Li Xiao sent a love signal to his wife.
"The four seasons of spring and autumn, the mountains and rivers, are all inferior to your beautiful smile in the morning. Good morning! Ningyun! I love you——"
And Zhu Ningyun also replied in seconds.
"I don't know why I dreamed of you three times last night."
The meaning of this sentence is that it is you in the dream. Do I miss you too much or do you miss me too much?
Then, Zhu Ningyun added: "I love you, husband, do your best and wait for your return."
[Lifespan +1 day; sweet points +10,000 points. 】
After cutting off his telepathy, Li Xiao felt that love still requires distance. Being tired of being together every day, his score-earning efficiency plummeted. After only one day away, it improved a lot.
Li Xiao just stood up and made a noise. The girl on the other luxurious bed next to her woke up. Then she got up immediately and stood beside the bed. She was sleeping with her clothes on, her head lowered, her cheeks flushed, and she seemed a little overwhelmed.
The girl looks like a sixteen-year-old girl, just like a bud waiting to bloom. She is wearing a light yellow orchid cloud smoke shirt, a floor-length yellow skirt with ancient patterns and double butterflies and clouds. , wearing a hollow orchid beaded hairpin, her face is as charming as the moon, her eyes are full of hope and sultry.
Li Xiao then remembered that there was a little girl in his room last night, named Li Ruxin, who was Li Jinglong's daughter.
Her daughter had grown up in Nanjing. When she came to Nanjing this time, she wanted to go home and have a look, so she followed Li Jinglong, but she felt a little embarrassed when she got on the train.
The car was packed full of men, both scholars and soldiers.
There were people lying under the car seats, people were crowded in the aisles, and the car was filled with the smell of sweat. It was obviously not convenient for such a young girl to be in a car like that.
The only luxurious carriage in the whole car is Li Xiao's Tianzi No. 1 royal carriage.
There are three luxurious beds alone, separated by carved wooden screens.
Separate bathroom, coffee table, etc., no different from the room.
Li Xiao saw that it was difficult for a little girl like her to squeeze into the carriage over there, so he kindly let her sleep here and relieved Li Jinglong.
Seeing Li Ruxin standing there, fidgeting with her emerald-like fingers, looking at a loss, Li Xiao smiled and said: "Li Ruxin, don't be too restrained, treat it like your own family, speaking of your father and me There is still a slight relationship, we still have the same surname, so just call me uncle, sit down wherever you want, and tell the waiter what you want to eat."
"Yes, Uncle Li." Li Ruxin nodded slightly and had a good tutor. She performed a Wanfu Jinanli and it turned out to be much more natural. She found a small stool aside and sat down obediently, motionless.
After Li Xiao sat down, she asked someone to bring the toiletries to her. Then she washed herself and had someone bring her food.
While having breakfast, there was a knock on the door outside the carriage.
"Come in." Li Xiao said.
Li Jinglong walked in, and Li Ruxin hurriedly stood up and called his father. He nodded, walked to Li Xiao, raised his hands in salute, and said:
"Master, this is my first time taking a train. I don't know what the situation is. If I had known about it, I wouldn't have brought my daughter here. It would have really caused trouble to the Master."
"You're welcome, Mr. Cao Guo." Li Xiao waved his hand, gesturing for Li Jinglong to sit down. "Since the Supreme Emperor has asked you to lead the new army, you should understand what it means. Why are you so arrogant?"
Zhu Yuanzhang promised Li Jinglong to Li Xiao, which was actually to help Li Xiao.
Now most of the generals in the court have to follow Zhu Yuanzhang in his expeditions east and west, and they can't free their hands.
Li Xiao saved Li Jinglong's life twice. At the same time, Li Xiao was like a benefactor to Li Jinglong.
Such people can be used with confidence, and they can just be used to carry out reforms with Li Xiao.
If you want to do things in the court, you must have someone you can trust, so with Zhu Yuanzhang's arrangements, Li Jinglong now belongs to Li Xiao.
"National Master, you have saved the lives of the lower officials twice. If anything happens in the future, I, Li Jinglong, will go to the Mountain of Swords and the Sea of Fire without hesitation."
Li Jinglong looked determined and expressed his loyalty.
He knew that although he had returned to his title in the court now, the foundation he had in the past was long gone. He said that he could only rely on Li Xiao if he wanted the Li family to be glorious again.
And now that Li Xiao is at the height of his power, he can't make friends with anyone who wants to.
I don't know what kind of bad luck I had, but the Imperial Master saved me twice.
Now that he is in control of the new army, in the eyes of outsiders, he is no different than a national advisor, and he must follow closely because of his emotions and reasons.
"Hahaha, with your words, I understand in my heart."
At this moment, Li Xiao also regarded Li Jinglong as one of his own.
Although this thing is very bad in history.
But I don't know why, as he changed history, this guy was considered a prodigal son who could not exchange for gold. He saved the people with his life back then, so it was worth using for him.
In fact, Li Jinglong's military ability is not low. He has been familiar with military books since he was a child and followed a group of famous generals behind him. Although not as good as Zhu Di, Zhu Di is so strong that he has been ranked in the top five since ancient times.
The main reason for the failure that year was a serious lack of battlefield experience. After all, Zhu Di fought in the frontier all year round, and Li Jinglong could only study military books in Nanjing City. Actual combat is the best teacher, and he lacked this level of training.
"Come on, why don't you have breakfast? Let's eat some together."
Li Xiao waved his hand and asked his servants to prepare another breakfast.
"Yes." Li Jinglong did not refuse. The Imperial Master regarded him as one of his own. If he were to be polite, he would really be out of touch.
Breakfast is milk and a crab roe dumpling.
The xiaolongbao dipped in shredded ginger and vinegar is delicious.
Li Xiao took a bite of the steamed bun and asked with a smile: "Li Jinglong, do you know why you came to Nanjing this time?"
Li Jinglong said: "Aren't you escorting these talents to serve in various villages?"
"Yes, and no." Li Xiao said with a smile: "It is true that they are sent to serve, but do you think they can successfully serve?"
Hearing this, Li Jinglong was slightly startled and expressed his thoughts:
"Actually, I was thinking about this issue last night. According to the progress of construction in Beiping, after the settlement area is established, land acquisition will begin. Not to mention the land of farmers, how can the large tracts of land owned by the country gentlemen be taken away casually? , the relationships are complicated, and a large number of officials who are still serving in the Nanjing Department are involved, so I’m afraid it won’t be that easy.”
Li Xiao nodded slightly, that's why he asked Li Jinglong to lead the army and bring a guard soldier to follow him to Nanjing.
What happened in Peking back then is about to happen again now.
Li Xiaodao: "Li Jinglong, most of the credit for the success of the reform in Peking goes to Zhu Gaoxu. This time it's your turn. This is not a good job. It offends many people. Look at the king of Han now in the court. Who wants to get close to him? They were all too cruel back then. I was more arbitrary in my actions. Let me ask you, are you afraid of offending others? You still have many relatives and friends in Nanjing. My decision may make you unhappy. Difficult to do.”
"What kind of relatives and friends?"
Li Jinglong smiled and shook his head: "When I was in trouble, none of them stood up and said a word for me. Some even added insult to injury to seek benefits for themselves. Hey, let's not talk about the past. I, Li Jinglong, see the current prosperity of Beiping City. In my eyes, this is a prosperous age that has never been seen in the ages. It would be great if Nanjing can become a city like Peiping. As long as you open your mouth, Imperial Master, I, Li Jinglong, will never give up."
"Dare to do anything?" Li Xiao said with a smile.
"Dare!" Li Jinglong said.
Li Xiao said: "Do you dare to let you go and chop the Holy One down?"
Li Jinglong was shocked, "This"
"You're kidding." Li Xiao patted Li Jinglong on the shoulder: "But it's still possible to kill a few ministers."
Li Jinglong: "????"
For a moment, Li Jinglong suddenly felt that under the friendly appearance of the Imperial Master, he was determined to kill in his heart. This trip to Nanjing was probably going to be bloody.
Wuwuwu——
The train whistle sounded and it slowly stopped.
Li Xiao got up and got off the train, followed by Li Jinglong.
The land beneath your feet is the city of Nanjing.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were one country and two capitals. This time, the city of Nanjing was changed, and if Nanjing city was involved, the whole body would be affected, and the entire fourteen prefectures of Nanjing would be implicated.
After the two capitals are changed, will the rest be far away?
Li Xiao moved his body, his muscles and bones roared, tigers and leopards thundered, his whole body felt extremely comfortable, he was about to have a big fight!
"Nanjing City, get ready for the new order."
