Only by leaving no way behind can we move forward.
If a companion capital and a complete team are retained, this will not be conducive to the governance of the court, and it will also easily give people the illusion that they can go back. If future generations cannot withstand the lobbying of officials, they will move the capital back. , then Zhu Yunwen might jump out of the coffin board.
Besides, if Jinling retains a team, most of these people will have empty posts, and only the Ministry of War will have some power, but this is really a waste of money. Maintaining a bunch of useless officials for more than two hundred years is really not worth the gain...
As for ceremonial matters, Lao Zhu is buried in Xiaoling and cannot walk, but the ceremonial officer can still walk. He only needs to travel a few times a year. The ships in Tianjin Port are fast anyway. If that is not possible, he can use the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was resolute, Xie Jin couldn't persuade him anymore.
Xia Yuanji stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, should more arrangements be made for Nanjing's industry? The relocation of the capital will definitely drain too much of Nanjing's energy and blood. If arrangements are not made early, I am afraid that in order to restore prosperity here, it will take a long time. For several years or even ten years.”
Not only the royal family will be taken away when the capital is moved, but also officials, and many wealthy households will also follow. Most of these people are the main consumers. Once the capital is moved, many families are likely to go bankrupt because they cannot sell their goods. Many families rely on Jinling It is very likely that ordinary people who are living a living cannot even do work.
For example, there are many docks in Nanjing, where thousands of farmers move goods every day. If the goods cannot be sold, the merchants will naturally not buy new goods, and the people who work on the dock will naturally lose their livelihood.
When the imperial court moved the capital, it could not ignore their lives.
Zhu Yunwen thought about it again and again.
Said: "Nanjing will not decline, just like Suzhou and Hangzhou. Although it is not an imperial capital, it is still prosperous. Nanjing's prosperity is not just based on the imperial capital, but on its unique location. Although it is In this way, the initial stage of moving the capital will inevitably bring about a commercial imbalance in Jinling, which will take a period of time to adjust until a new balance is restored."
"In order to avoid hurting the people, I think that in addition to expanding the shipbuilding industry, Jinling can also be designated as a smelting center, textile center, and printing center. In addition, the granary here still needs to continuously absorb grain as a way to transport grain from the south to the north. Textile , printing, food, shipbuilding, these can absorb a lot of people's power."
"Through these measures, people who lost their livelihoods due to the relocation of the capital will be included. Also, the steam locomotive of the Craftsman College has been successfully developed and has completed three rounds of testing. Except for some minor flaws, there are no major problems. Once the steam locomotive is officially In front of the people of Jinling, it is imperative to build large-scale railways. Nanjing connects Suzhou and Hangzhou, forming a business circle, and Peiping connects Shenyang, Xuanfu, and Datong, one connects the Northeast granary, and the other connects the border defense areas. These railways were built Manufacturing also requires a lot of manpower.”
"Everyone, the Ming Dynasty has no foreign enemies, but there is still a lot to do. If we want to create a prosperous age, let the Ming Dynasty stand in the forest of the world and become a transcendent existence, there is still a long way to go! Concrete roads, railways , river dredging, irrigation projects, cultural and educational administration, we still have a lot to do, a lot, don’t worry about running out of things to do, there are always new conflicts and new enemies on the road ahead.”
Xia Yuan
Ji looked deeply at Zhu Yunwen. His eyes were far-sighted and not limited to the present.
The railway is already under discussion by the Ministry of Industry, and some people have even gone to Beiping to conduct preliminary route surveys. Future infrastructure construction will be promoted around the railway and concrete roads.
There are no external enemies, but there are still many problems in the internal governance of the Ming Dynasty. How to solve these problems is the key to creating a prosperous age. For example, some prefectures and counties in Shanxi dared to exploit the people in the name of helping the army supply food and wages. This happened in the 11th year of Jianwen, which shows that there is still a long way to go for official governance.
The public opinion obstacle to moving the capital was forcefully kicked away by Zhu Yunwen, and Zhu Wenkui began to take over the preparations. He combined the cabinet, the six ministries and nine ministers, and the Imperial College to clarify the specific plan to move to the north.
Time passed little by little, and the November northwest wind began to howl.
The sound of horse hooves!
The Jiayuguan Post envoy finally crossed the road thousands of miles away and arrived at Jinling!
"Urgent report!"
Post messenger
Dancing with riding whip and shouting loudly.
Zhu Wenkui was sitting in Wuying Hall handling documents, and cabinet ministers Xie Jin and Yang Shiqi were with him, ready to answer questions at any time.
suddenly.
The chamberlain hurriedly walked in and reported, "Liu Changge from the Security Bureau would like to see you."
"Let him in."
Zhu Wenkui ordered, closed the documents, and after Liu Changge saluted, asked: "What's the matter?"
Liu Changge said solemnly: "I just received news that the Jiayuguan Post Envoy has arrived in Jinling, and he has brought news of Oara's surrender."
"Wala surrendered?"
Zhu Wenkui was a little surprised and stood up to ask.
Xie Jin and Yang Shiqi also felt that something was a little strange. It was somewhat unexpected that Wala surrendered so easily.
"Ask the postman to forward the documents directly
Back Lake. "
Zhu Wenkui was not eager to see the documents sent by the messenger, but he knew the rules and left the matter to his father Zhu Yunwen.
The Wala incident was a military matter, a major national event, and Zhu Wenkui thought he could not control it.
Back Lake.
Zhu Yunwen lived a leisurely life. After becoming a half-time shopkeeper, his life was finally much more leisurely. He could finally go boating with Ma Enhui, Shu Fei, Ning Fei and others without having to think too much about state affairs.
While Zhu Yunwen and Ma Enhui were joking, there was movement from the shore. Zhu Yunwen looked up and saw Liu Changge and Tang Buping standing there waving, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Ma Enhui chuckled and said, "It seems that the emperor can't take a good day off even if he wants to."
"Come to shore."
Zhu Yunwen was helpless.
When the ship docked, Liu Changge and Tang Buping saluted.
Liu Changge saw that Zhu Yunwen's face was not good-looking, so he quickly handed over the documents: "Jiayuguan sent eight hundred miles of urgent documents."
"Jiayuguan?"
Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly, quickly took the document, looked at it carefully, turned around and said to Ma Enhui and others: "Hu Xi persuaded the Wala, and the whole Walaju clan surrendered. This matter is important, and I will not accompany you today."
Ma Enhui, Shu Fei and others saluted and congratulated.
If Wala really surrenders, it will be a blessing. The Ming Dynasty can defeat a powerful enemy without using weapons. The threat in the northwest will also be lifted, and the Ming Dynasty's border troubles and threats will be reduced to the lowest since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunwen held the document tightly, strode forward, and said to Liu Changge and Tang Buping behind him: "I ordered Hu Hui to be a lobbyist, just to let him find an opportunity to split Wala and pave the way for the future raids on Wala. But who could have imagined that he would actually Wala said
If you surrender, or the entire clan surrenders, this matter will not be easy to handle. Do you think Mahamu really surrendered? In my opinion, Wala’s surrender may not be out of sincerity! It is said that officials from the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers and the Fifth Army Governor's Office came to Wuying Hall to discuss matters! "
