After all, Zhu Youjian has been the emperor for more than 20 years, and he is still a pretty awesome emperor, and he still has some skills. First, he beat Zhu Cixiang hard, scaring the traitor to death, and then gave him a bunch of sweet treats that looked good but were actually useless. What about the emperor's ceremonial guard, the emperor's robes, the appointment and dismissal rights of civilian officials below the governors of the four provinces and the governors of the four provinces, etc.
Whatever ceremonial guard Zhu Cihong uses and what clothes he wears will not add any bonus to his power. The name of the governor of the four provinces is not true. The governor is a military position, and the governor of the four provinces is responsible for the military affairs of the four provinces. However, Zhu Youjian asked Zhu Cihong to take charge of the finance and civil affairs of the four provinces, and he did not have much military power.
Moreover, the financial and civil affairs powers of the three provinces given to Zhu Cihong did not add much to the prince's strength.
Although Zhu Cihong only had financial and civil affairs power in Jiangsu province before, he now has three more provinces. However, the salt industry and finance in the three coastal economic provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong have long been under Zhu Cihong's control, and the maritime trade in the three provinces is under the control of a maritime business group headed by Zheng Zhilong, Shen Tingyang, Li Guozhu, and Liu Xiang. Under control - they are all Zhu Cixiang's father-in-law.
Therefore, whether Zhu Cihong can control the government affairs and appointment and dismissal of officials in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces will not have much impact on his strength.
Of course, Chongzhen's decision is of great significance to the politics, economy and foreign exchanges of the three provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong.
Because for the imperial court in Beijing, these three provinces are really far away. Emperor Chongzhen, who had been busy fighting everywhere, had no time to go around these three provinces. When he implemented the Dafu system in Nanzhili, Huguang and other places before, he also failed to go to Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong to implement the Dafu system in person. Therefore, the reform of the government system in these three provinces was not very successful. Especially in Guangdong and Fujian provinces, it was repeated several times and was barely completed until the 20th year of Chongzhen. However, the implementation effect is also unsatisfactory, and many taxes that should be collected have not been collected.
Smuggling and smuggling of salt in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces are still relatively rampant, and they are widely involved. Although every local official will carry out governance, it will soon become the same as before.
Now it's time for Zhu Cixi to go and compete with the local snakes in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces.
Another problem that troubled Emperor Chongzhen was brought up by Zhu Cixiang after he took charge of Jiangsu - Zhu Cixiang believed that the Ming Dynasty's foreign trade management was too backward. He had instituted a ship license system and was still collecting grain and rice. ..... In the past few years, the Central Plains has been relatively prosperous, and the fertile land in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning has also been developed, so the pressure on the local food supply in the Ming Dynasty has been greatly reduced.
At the same time, the Qianhusuo and Shangtun Manor in the Ming Dynasty's colonies in Champa, Luzon, Java, Malacca, and Chenla (the Jiulong River Plain southeast of Chenla) are already quite large, so they can also import a lot of agricultural products every year. (Mainly sugar and rice).
Under this circumstance, it is no longer necessary to implement the grain and rice policy. Moreover, the ship license system linked to Guanliangmi is a bit out of date, because the sale of Guanliangmi will disrupt the market, and preservation is very troublesome... Several shopping malls are not willing to deal with this issue. They are even less willing to bear the cost of transporting the grain and rice to the warehouse.
In addition, due to the increasingly busy maritime trade in the southeast (opening up colonies will greatly promote trade) and there are too few original treaty ports, many merchant ships seeking convenience and evading taxes often enter and exit through non-ports.
In short, the maritime trade in the four southeastern provinces also needs a comprehensive reform and rectification.
It is necessary to establish a customs department to take charge of import and export, and to formulate a more reasonable and easy-to-implement customs tax system. A unified anti-smuggling office must also be established to combat smuggling along the coasts of the four provinces. While cracking down on smuggling, it is also necessary to open more ports.
This thing doesn't seem very complicated, but keeping it in order requires not only superb management skills, but also a lot of authority. Zhu Cixiang, the nephew of the Ming Emperor, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty and the "Chairman of the Ming Dynasty Federal Reserve Bank", is really the most suitable candidate.
...
Imperial City, Long Live Mountain.
The future Great Khan of Mongolia, Zhu Cixuan, was leading an Orchid on a mountain climb at this time - this Orchid was not one of Qiqige, Hasqiqige, or Menggen Qiqige, but her name also had Each one has its own style, which is called Zhulan’s style. Its pattern means flower in Mongolian, so it is often used in girls’ names.
Although the name of Zhulan Qiqige is similar to that of the other three Qiqige, and she is also a very beautiful Hu Ji, she is not the sister of the other three Qiqige. She is the sister of Wu Liangha and Tang Wang. The princess of the Yeerqiang Khanate that was destroyed by Zhu Yujian's alliance. When I surrendered with my parents, I was still very young. Because I was very beautiful, I was selected by Wu Liangha, and I took him with me and trained him with three Qiqige... Of course, Zhulan Qiqige's name is Wu Liangha changed it for her. Wu Liangha knew that Chongzhen liked Orchid, so he made a lot of little Orchids to play with and cultivate. Probably to make it easier to remember their names, all the little Orchids had their names added to their names.
This time she also came to Beijing with Zhu Cixuan.
However, Zhu Cixuan did not take out the Zhulanqiqiqige for Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong to choose. Instead, he brought her to the imperial city the day after Zhu Cihong was beaten by Emperor Chongzhen.
The place where Zhu Youjian met Zhu Cixuan was actually placed on Long Live Mountain. Wang Chengen led him and Zhulan Qiqige to a crooked-neck old locust tree wrapped in yellow brocade. Chongzhen was standing under the crooked-neck tree in a daze with his hands behind his back.
Although his back was to Zhu Cixuan, he still heard the footsteps and knew that the person coming was Zhu Cixuan. He did not turn around or wait for Zhu Cixuan to salute. He spoke directly: "Is it the second child? No need to salute... .Let me guess, what are you doing here? Are you admitting your mistake? The boss was persuaded by you to come forward to connect Lao San, Lao Wu, Lao Seven, Lao Ba, Lao Ten and your mother to help you change the military. In the direction?"
"Father, I know I was wrong..." Zhu Cixuan knew that this matter could not be hidden from Chongzhen, so he came here to admit his mistake.
"Then where did you go wrong?" Zhu Youjian asked.
"My son, I was wrong because I shouldn't be afraid of the bitter cold in the Qinchak grassland, and I shouldn't have tricked my eldest brother into begging for help..."
"Huh!" Zhu Youjian snorted coldly, "Everyone says you are honest, but you actually used Haschigqi to trick someone as smart as the boss!"
"My son, my son... I know I was wrong, and my son is here to apologize today!" Zhu Cixuan said, "My son also prepared some thoughts for my father."
"What do you mean?" Zhu Youjian looked back and saw a fair-skinned, beautiful and graceful Hu Ji ogling him, and the anger in his heart suddenly... disappeared by half.
My son is still filial!
"Not bad!" Zhu Youjian looked at the beads and their patterns, "What's your name?"
"Back to Lord Long Live, my name is Ye'erqiang. Zhulan Qiqige." Zhulan Qiqige speaks Chinese very well, and her voice is also very sweet.
"Haha, they are from the Yeerqiang family. I thought they were from the Chaer family!" Zhu Youjian said as if he was worried about his son, "You are quite considerate!"
Zhu Youjian is E Zhe's adoptive father, so E Zhe's daughter (goddaughter) is not suitable for entering Zhu Youjian's house.
"It's all because of my father's good teachings."
"Really?" Zhu Youjian said coldly, "But you still don't know where you went wrong? It seems that my teachings are not particularly good!"
Zhu Cixuan was stunned, "Father, I am confused, please make it clear."
"Haha," Zhu Youjian sneered a few times and looked at Zhu Cixuan, "Boss... you are my eldest son! Zhu Cixuan has been adopted by my brother, so you are the eldest son! And you are still ours The child of the marriage between the Lao Zhu family and the Jin family has the blood of Taizu Emperor Gao and Genghis Khan, and they are all direct bloodlines!
You...haven't you ever thought about taking over the throne? "
