Late Ming Dynasty
Zhu Yuanzhang returned here again.
Perhaps it is no longer appropriate to call this place the Ming Dynasty Plane.
It has been half a year since the war ended.
Within half a year, the world began to glow with life again.
This vitality is even more vigorous and dynamic than in the early Ming Dynasty.
After all, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the land of China had just been trampled by the iron hooves of foreign races, and hundreds of years of humiliation ended in one day.
The entire north, since the Northern Song Dynasty moved south, was even ruled by foreigners for nearly three hundred years, and civilization was almost cut off.
Countless traumas and thousands of threads need Zhu Yuanzhang to sort out and repair them bit by bit.
But here, the Ming Dynasty has been at its peak for more than 200 years, and the beginning of capitalism has even begun to appear in the south. There are actually many factors why it came to an end.
The Little Ice Age that swept across the world caused frequent natural disasters throughout the Ming Dynasty. The second was the increasingly acute conflicts between man and land and land annexation. There were also officials' inaction, neglect of government, and even collusion between officials and businessmen, which caused the central government to The third reason is that taxes cannot be raised and government functions cannot be performed.
Fourth, it was the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the north.
Historically, in the second year after the Manchus occupied Nanjing, the natural disasters in the north began to weaken. Coupled with the Manchus' merciless suppression and killing of the gentry and common people, this was the so-called Kangxi and Qianlong eras.
But now Zhu Yuanzhang has done even better than the Manchus. The interest groups colluded with the gentry, officials and businessmen across the country have become extinct. The land has been redistributed again, and most ordinary people have been allocated land.
It is the third good harvest year in the South.
Once the people have food to eat, naturally no one will want to raise their heads to rebel.
At the same time, due to the advancement of science and technology, and the absence of bloody suppression by the reactionary Manchu government, all walks of life in the south began to flourish in a stable and orderly manner.
Many small workshops and factories have sprung up in the south.
Zhu Yuanzhang believed that in the near future, the productivity of the entire Ming Empire would surely usher in a new explosion, and the goal of everyone having clothes to wear and food to eat was not far away.
In the past six months, Zhu Yuanzhang would actually come back to the late Ming Dynasty whenever he had time. However, he did not show up in Nanjing. Instead, he led people to visit and investigate throughout the Ming Dynasty.
After all, it was too vain to only read what was recorded in books. He wanted to personally go deep into every corner of the Ming Dynasty to understand the current status of various industries and the problems that still existed in development.
And how the policies formulated during the Hongwu period evolved step by step into what they are today.
These would become an important basis for him to formulate policies for the nascent Ming Empire.
Of course, there is another important reason. He wants to see with his own eyes whether Zheng Chenggong, the future helmsman of the Ming Empire he selected, can lead the Ming Empire to a great renaissance as he imagined.
After all, the great emperor Zhu Yunwen he chose in history almost made him cry.
He was now less confident in his vision for choosing an heir.
But now it seems that Zheng Chenggong is still good.
Although he controlled such a huge empire at the age of less than thirty, he did things in an orderly manner. At least he did not start to gather military power as soon as he ascended the throne like Zhu Yunwen, and broke his promise to deal with his uncles.
When he left, he did not leave all military power to Zheng Chenggong. The generals in the army he was optimistic about, such as Zhou Yuji and Li Dingguo, still had military power.
He just wanted to see if Zheng Chenggong would persecute these people.
If Zheng Chenggong really dares to do this because he is not clear-headed, causing the Ming Empire to fall into turmoil again, then he will overturn the coffin board again and jump out to kill this kid.
But now it seems that he was overly worried. Although Zheng Chenggong deliberately limited the number of people, he did a good job step by step.
This also made Zhu Yuanzhang completely relieved.
After taking a look at the time he could stay here, he saw that there was only less than one day left after five years.
"This time, I really want to leave this world completely!"
"I'm afraid I won't come back again...it's hard to say!"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought of his last experience, but in the end he was not so satisfied with what he said.
If there was any regret, maybe it was Song Yingxing. After all, he didn't think of a way to take him to the early Ming Dynasty.
But that’s fine, let this national scholar do his best for this world!
Two months ago, Zhu Yuanzhang secretly gave several of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures obtained from the early Ming Dynasty to increase longevity to Song Yingxing, which could be regarded as using the royalties from his "Tiangong Kaiwu".
After all, it’s not easy to write such a wonderful book! (emphasis added)
"I'm coming!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang was trying to find a hiding place to return to the early Ming Dynasty, there was suddenly some commotion at the dock where he was.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked around in confusion, only to see a group of men and horses filled with fierce energy galloping towards this side.
"This is Li Zicheng, the King of Chuang!"
"They say he has eight heads and a big mouth designed to eat children. How can he look ordinary?" Someone whispered.
"Tch, no one looks like that!"
"They're all rumors!" The person next to him knew the truth and didn't bother to refute it.
However, people living in Fujian have never seen Li Zicheng, a notorious gangster.
Everyone stretched their heads curiously, wanting to take a closer look.
"Where is he going?" some people who didn't know the truth asked.
"you do not know?"
"The imperial court wants to reward him as the idle Duke of An, and let him enjoy wealth and honor in the capital. If he doesn't do it, the powerful prince-in-law will ask him to bring his own men, and then sail him to Nanyang to make a living!"
"I heard that there are Ming people like us there too, but they were bullied by the red-haired ghosts."
"Now, with a ruthless man like Li Zicheng in the past, the good days of those red-haired ghosts may be coming to an end."
"Why are there several shackled old men behind him?" someone asked again.
"Hey, these are all traitors. The first old man is called Hong Chengchou. I heard he was a high official before..."
Listening to the comments of the people, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile, no longer lingering, and strode away against the crowd.
after one day.
East Palace.
Bedroom.
A voice rang in the ears of Zhu Biao who had just woken up.
