Before Gu Sanjian's small report was finished, Zhu Yunwen received a small report.
The person who made the report was Xiang Yao, Ying Tianfu Yin. This guy was involved in the case of Li Zengzhi forming a clique. Fortunately, after the investigation was clear, he was not involved and was reinstated.
Xiang Yao's report was full of blood and tears. He named the house next to Yangshi Bridge and wanted to demolish it. The reason was that the women here beat the government officials and themselves. Now their noses are bruised and their faces are swollen, and their majesty has been ruined. I don’t plan to go to work for the placement fee of ten taels…
Zhu Yunwen didn't need to investigate to know that there were people near Yangshi Bridge who had the guts to beat up government servants and officials. Except for Cong Pei'er, a guy who lacked discipline, he probably wouldn't be able to find these two people.
"Go and give Tang Buping a good beating."
Zhu Yunwen put the document aside and gave instructions to Shuangxi.
Shuangxi secretly mourned for Tang Buping. I have no choice but to beat you instead of beating your sister. This is inappropriate, so inappropriate...
Cong Pei'er's messy thing is not worthy of Zhu Yunwen's personal intervention. The Security Bureau will solve it.
What worries Zhu Yunwen now is the large-scale immigration from Shanxi. Ru Jin considered that the immigrants might die of heat on the road during the hot summer, so he moved the time to autumn. Now the immigration wave has reached its peak.
Hundreds of thousands of people, with their families and families, walked along the Taihang Ancient Road.
From Shanxi to Henan, North Zhili, Shandong and other places, you must pass through the Taihang Mountains. The Taihang Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, with hundreds of interconnected ridges, thousands of peaks towering, and thousands of deep ravines. It is not easy to walk through.
For thousands of years, the Taihang Mountains have been a natural barrier separating Shanxi from the Central Plains. In order to clear the way, the ancients used their lives to explore eight paths, also known as the Eight Paths of Taihang.
The eight branches of Taihang are Zhiguanxing, Taihangxing, Baixing, Fukouxing, Jingxing, Feihuxing, Puyinxing and Junduxing. The most important of them are the three southern counties, namely Baixing, Zhiguanxing and Taihangxing.
Even if all eight roads are open to traffic, the speed will be slow. You must know that these roads are not eight or 16 lanes, but dangerous arteries that military strategists must compete for.
Take Taihangxing as an example. It starts from Jincheng in Shanxi Province in the north and connects to Huaiqing Prefecture in Henan Province (Jiaozuo area) in the south. It is the "strategic capital" and "the thoroughfare for business travel". To the north is Taihang Pass, a dangerous place, and to the south is Hulao Pass, which is an important route to the Central Plains.
The entire road runs through mountains, and the narrow places can only accommodate a few people. Even if it goes day and night, how many people can pass through it at the end of the day? What's more, these people have old people and children, carts and donkeys. From time to time they get crowded, and they have to rest after walking for dozens of miles.
It is not easy to complete such a large-scale population migration in a short period of time. Although Rujun took many measures and assigned one sergeant to take care of every 100 people along the way, there was still no guarantee that an accident would occur.
This is not the case. Zhang Bing, the chief envoy of Peking, filed a memorial to impeach Ru Yu for murder. The reason was that some immigrants complained that their children were snatched away by tigers on the way, and seven or eight people died.
Tigers are protected animals in later generations, but they were a scourge in ancient times. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there were many records about the tiger problem in the Taihang Mountains, so much so that there was a phenomenon where tigers appeared in one mountain, swarming in groups and endangering the people.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the tiger problem still existed. The fundamental reason is that the ancient people's measures to deal with tigers are a bit ridiculous.
It stands to reason that if there is a tiger problem, just find some people to go hunting in the mountains, but the problem is that there is only one drunk Wu Song after all, and no one wants to feed the tiger. It's hard to hunt, so just pray...
Yes, what a prayer.
But at that time, people prayed not to God, but to various gods, such as the Jade Emperor, Tathagata Buddha, Guanyin and so on. Obviously, these gods did not have a way to go to heaven, so they were unable to save the people. So, the tiger trouble continues...
Zhang Bing's impeachment was a bit unfair to Ru Yu. He was a governor, not a mountain patroller.
But if there is a tiger problem, you can't ignore it. Generally, sergeants are fine with suppressing bandits, but asking them to fight tigers is a bit intimidating.
Zhu Yunwen was thinking that winter was coming soon and he wanted to get some tiger skin coats to wear, so he called Xu Huizu and Tie Xuan and ordered: "Select 20 scouts and 200 Shenji Battalion sergeants to enter the Taihang Mountains to hunt tigers."
Xu Huizu and Tie Xuan read the document, nodded immediately, and then stood aside to wait. After all, it is unlikely that two people would come to Wuying Hall in person for such a trivial matter.
Sure enough, Zhu Yunwen spread out a map, pointed at the North Zhili area, and said: "There is no war in the north for the time being, but the threat from the Yuan Dynasty is still the close enemy of the Ming Dynasty. It is imperative for Peking to be upgraded to Beijing, but now it will be passed The river was still being dredged, and Zhang Bing allocated stored grain to support Jizhou and Daning, resulting in a tight supply of grain and difficulty in stabilizing prices. In addition, a large number of immigrants entered Beizhili every day, and he wanted to rely on the strength of Beiping. , it’s difficult to keep prices down.”
Tie Xuan looked at Zhu Yunqi with doubts and said without confidence, "Your Majesty, transporting food and protecting the livelihood of Peking people is the responsibility of the Ministry of Household Affairs. I lead the Ministry of War..."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said: "Of course I know that you are leading the military department, so I came to you for the purpose of shipping."
Xu Huizu asked: "Could it be that there are bandits again?"
Zhu Yunwen shook his head slightly, pointed at the location of Zhigu on the map, and said: "Although the Ming Dynasty focused on sea transportation, it did not take it seriously. From the perspective of Dengzhou and Dagu, their grain transshipment efficiency is much lower than that of Taicang Prefecture. Why? Just because Taicang Prefecture is a real port, while Dengzhou, Dagu and other places are just docking places."
"I want to dig a special port in Zhigu to allow ships to enter in an orderly manner, unload and transfer materials in an orderly manner. At the same time, we will set up three Tianjin guards in Zhigu, one guard to guard Dagu, two guards to guard Beitang, and three guards to guard Zhigu. sell."
Xu Huizu looked at the map and took a deep breath.
The coasts of Dagu and Beitang are strategically important places for maritime transportation, and there is no room for failure. Zhigu is not only an important geographical location, but also an important node of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. It is indeed appropriate to set up a health center here.
More importantly, from Zhigu to the north it can reach Peiping, and to the south is Shandong. It is really unreasonable not to have a force.
"I think it's completely feasible."
Xu Huizu immediately expressed his stance.
Tie Xuan nodded and said: "It is extremely appropriate to set up the Tianjin Three Guards here. But as for the sergeants, I kindly request that they be transferred directly from Peiping to save expenses."
There are more than 16,000 sergeants in the Three Guards. If the recruitment of sergeants is a new army strategy, the court will spend a lot of money and food.
Zhu Yunwen agreed: "It is okay for the sergeants to come from Peiping, but the Tianjin Three Guards are not affiliated with the Peiping Dusi and are under the direct jurisdiction of the Chinese Army Dudufu."
Xu Huizu and Tie Xuan had no objection.
As for the transportation of grain by the Ministry of Revenue, Zhu Yunwen did not need to worry. Long before Zhu Di left the customs, the Ministry of Revenue had already shipped a batch of summer grain. Zhang Bing's memorial was written seven days ago. At this time, the grain was also shipped. We should have arrived in Zhigu, not far from Peiping.
Zheng Ci, minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Huang Fu, minister of the Ministry of Industry, asked to see him.
Seeing that both of them looked unhappy, Zhu Yunwen asked, "Why, the plan for the monument to the martyrs hasn't been come up yet?"
Zheng Ci stood aside with a wry smile and motioned for Huang Fu to explain.
Huang Fu had no choice but to report truthfully: "Tianjie Temple and Shenwang each came up with plans and could not reach an agreement. At present, the foundation and surrounding buildings are already under construction. Only this monument to the heroes and martyrs has been urged many times by the Ministry of Works. The Buddhist and Taoist schools have We haven't reached an agreement yet." Zhu Yunwen stretched out his hand and said, "Bring their plans to me for a look."
It stands to reason that for a major project like the Monument to the Martyrs, one sentence from the Ministry of Industry is enough to finalize it.
But now there is a problem. When Zhu Yunwen was preparing to build the Great Baoen Temple and the Monument to the Martyrs, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry were unwilling to pay a lot of money. Although they said they would take shares, the shares they occupied were too low. Most of them belonged to Tianjie Temple. Monks, optimistic Taoists, and a group of businessmen.
Now the sponsors have differences on the plan. If they are not resolved, if they withdraw their investment, it will become an unfinished project. Who will take over the project? The Ministry of Revenue cannot take over this big business now.
After receiving the two plans, Zhu Yunwen sighed.
The Buddhist plan can be described as extremely splendid, the rumored nine-story glazed pagoda plan. Needless to say, when Zhu Di built the Dabaoen Temple in history, it was the plan given by Buddhism...
But this plan is too colorful. It has reached a beautiful place, but what is to be built here is not a tourist attraction. It can make people sigh, how beautiful it is. It is not a Buddhist paradise. It is so comfortable and pleasant to come here and bathe in the light of Buddha.
Here is the Monument of Heroes, a building in the name of heroes.
As for the Taoist plan, it obviously pays more attention to the honor of heroes and martyrs, but is this project too big and can it be realized?
When you go to dig rocks in the mountains, they are still huge rocks nine feet long. Are you kidding me? Although you Taoists are nicknamed Niubi Taoist Master, you still have to be smart and responsible when you brag.
Nine feet, not three or four feet.
Although there have been precedents in some dynasties of transporting stones weighing two to three hundred thousand kilograms and measuring three to four feet for dozens of miles, there has never been a precedent for transporting stones weighing nine feet.
Not to mention how long it would take to find a suitable stone in the mountains, but if it opens eight feet, a crack destroys it, and several years of hard work are wasted, what's the point?
And how many people can transport such a huge stone from the mountain and then bring it to Baoen Temple?
After all, it’s a large-scale project, but you haven’t thought about its feasibility?
Zhu Yunwen put the drawing aside and said, "How did the Ministry of Industry arrange it?"
Zheng Ci said in embarrassment: "The Ministry of Industry is now in a dilemma. Tianjie Temple believes that the Buddha's light is to give comfort to the heroes, but the Ministry of Industry thinks it is inappropriate. It lacks seriousness and solemnity and is suspected of blaspheming the heroes. As for the divine optimism, what they proposed The strategy is good, but I have investigated and found that the mountains around Nanjing are not feasible to find a mountain with nine feet of stone. If it is outside, it will be even more difficult to transport it to the capital..."
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and said, "Then tell them that both plans are not feasible."
Zheng Ci looked at Zhu Yunwen, blinked, and blinked again. That meant, Your Majesty, what about the second half of your sentence. Just saying it's not feasible and that's it? In this case, it would be strange for the Buddhist and Taoist families not to cause trouble.
"Let Tianjie Temple preside over it, and Master Shen Optimism will come to the palace to pay an audience in two days."
Zhu Yunwen gave Zheng Ci a reassurance.
Zheng Ci was overjoyed. This meant that if Buddhists and Taoists had any ideas, they could discuss them directly with Zhu Yunwen, and the Ministry of Industry would not need to get involved in this muddy water.
After handling the government affairs, Zhu Yunwen arrived at Zhongcui Palace. He felt relieved when he saw that Concubine Ning was fine and could finally eat some food.
Ma Enhui reminded from the side: "There is another beauty in Yonghe Palace. Has the Emperor forgotten her?"
After Concubine Ning heard this, she curled her lips slightly, then rubbed her belly that was not bulging at all, and said: "It is always not good to be alone in the empty boudoir. Since you want to let someone enter the Yonghe Palace, you must have a status."
Zhu Yunwen smiled, raised his brows, and said to Concubine Ning: "You have lost your appetite recently, and you prefer sweet and sour. If not, let Na Yizhen'er be a fire person and make you some kimchi..."
