Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king
Chapter 223 Change history, rebuild Yecheng and Jinyang, Rehe is called Zhao!
Chapter 223 Change history, rebuild Yecheng and Jinyang, Rehe is called Zhao!
"Sir, there is a boat docking!"
Just when he was hesitating, a soldier came trotting in to report.
"But the pirates are coming?" Zhao Ying frowned, there was no such thing in the plan.
Ou Xin walked out of the tent and ran to the rocks to look out. Someone on the boat was waving the flag of the shore. It was the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty!
He immediately asked someone to raise a flag and allow the ship to dock.
Zhao Ying and Lin Hao also came out and saw Long Qi, their expressions changed slightly.
Looking at each other, they both saw helplessness.
Soon, the ship docked. Zhu Yong lifted up his official robe, stepped off the ship's branch, faced the wind and came hunting, and said with cupped hands: "I am the deputy commander-in-chief of Guangdong Zhu Yong!"
"But Uncle Funing?"
Zhu Yong is the second-rank deputy general, and Ou Xin is the third-rank general, with a higher official position than Ou Xin.
He smiled and nodded: "It's me."
"Mark Ou Xin and see Fu Ning Bo!" Ou Xin's attitude was respectful.
"You and I, colleagues, don't need to be polite, let's talk business first." Zhu Yong acted resolutely.
After spending several months at the beach, others developed a tan.
He was jealous when he saw the generals of Guangxi excelling and being commended by the emperor with imperial edicts.
At this moment, Liu Zhenhai was sent to assist Ou Xin.
I feel somewhat uncomfortable in my heart.
Ou Xin was only a commander of the First Guard, but now he was ranked as a third-grade general, and his knighthood was just around the corner.
He was higher than Ou Xin in terms of official position and title, but Liu Zhenhai asked him to assist Ou Xin, saying it was the emperor's order.
This shows Ouxin's status in the emperor's heart.
Zhu Yong was welcomed into the big tent.
Ou Xin is also strange. He doesn't want to live in a house, but likes to live in a big tent.
He told Zhu Yong the situation.
"Pirates from Hailing Island? But Lin Jie?" Zhu Yong is training in the navy, but he is a landlubber and doesn't understand water warfare, let alone naval warfare?
"It's Lin Jie!"
Ou Xin glanced at Lin Hao, gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, can you please lead the troops to kill the pirates? I still have unfinished business for my humble duty!"
Before Zhu Yong could answer, Lin Hao said: "Yangjiang is in danger, we should send someone to rescue him!"
"Prefect Lin, are you no longer in pain?"
Ou Xin's face darkened: "If Uncle Fu Ning goes there personally, what kind of pirates can't be quelled?"
"And you, Zhao Ying!"
"If Yangjiang is breached, your black gauze hat will still be lost!"
Zhu Yong frowned slightly, slightly dissatisfied with Ou Xin's aggressive attitude.
Mainly because he doesn't know how to fight in water.
Although he led three thousand naval forces, he never fought a serious water battle.
He was also flustered.
"Uncle Fu Ning, the pirates have landed, and we will send [-] native soldiers to help."
Ou Xin shouted outside the tent: "Zhong Asi, Nong Zhigao, Cen Dourong, come in!"
"Although these three generals are natives, they fight bravely."
"With your personal leadership, we will definitely be able to quell the pirate raids!"
He had to trust Zhu Yong now.
Three big men with knives at their waists came in and knelt on one knee.
Zhu Yong knew himself. The Guangxi native soldiers were like sheep in Ou Xin's hands, but in his hands, they might be like tigers, and they might bite back.
"Don't worry, sir. These three people have already obtained official status and they dare not make any mistakes."
Ou Xin saw through Zhu Yong’s worries.
"Okay, I will personally lead the army to meet this pirate!" Zhu Yong is really not afraid of fighting.
He is handsome and talented.
That's why the emperor opened his eyes and let him live.
If a pirate can't eat anything after landing on land, he will be useless.
He was also eager for military success and wanted to prove himself in front of the emperor.
Ou Xin whispered a few words, Zhu Yong's eyes flashed and he nodded slightly.
Then he took Zhao Ying to send troops.
Lin Hao wanted to leave, but no one ignored him.
He curled his lips and suddenly remembered Zhao Ying's words. He closed his eyes in despair. If I die, Ou Xin won't even think about it!
"Uncle Fu Ning, Ou Xin, together with He Wei, slandered me, Lin Hao, and conspired to rebel. I have evidence in my hand..."
Bang!
Before he finished shouting, Lin Hao bumped his head against the handle of the wooden chair.
It poked into the eye socket and blood spurted out.
As soon as Zhu Yong went out, he heard Lin Hao's screams. When he entered the tent, he saw Lin Hao lying on the ground, dying tragically.
"Master, Master!" Zhao Ying was good at acting, hugging Lin Hao and crying.
Help Lin Hao complete what he didn't say.
It didn't say that Ou Xin rebelled, only that Ou Xin tortured Lin Hao, but I don't know why.
Zhu Yong looked over.
"Sir, pirates raiding the border is a major matter for the country. Once the central government investigates, none of us will be able to escape punishment."
Ou Xin cupped his hands and said, "I, Ou Xin, can't run away, so I put important things first!"
Zhu Yong still wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, Ou Xin was right, and Liu Zhenhai asked him to take orders from Ou Xin.
He couldn't lose face and didn't tell Ou Xin, so he just borrowed Po Xia's donkey.
Don't ask anymore.
This made Zhao Ying very surprised.
Watching Zhu Yong lead his army away, Ou Xin slapped his hand on the wooden chair: "I have fallen into the trap again and again. I am so damn stupid!"
Lin Hao and Zhao Ying were making such a fuss.
Zhu Yong will definitely doubt him. He, who was already alone, is now even more desperate.
When someone took the body out, he sat on the chair angrily. It was too difficult to fight against one's own will, so it was better to have a refreshing fight.
and many more.
Why did Lin Hao suddenly change?
Has he been in contact with anyone?
Ou Xin repeatedly reviewed the situation, which started when Lin Hao suddenly slandered He Wei.
He walked out of the big tent, and the sunset was shining brightly on the sea level.
Zhuang Fang hangs on a wooden pole and swings in the wind.
I'm out of breath.
If not him, who could it be?
Can't figure it out.
Ou Xin did not think about him, but planned to arrest people according to the list.
According to Lin Hao, there is no good officialdom in Guangdong. Although there is the possibility of slander, they must be arrested and severely interrogated.
Before he could do anything, he felt huge resistance.
After all, he is a general and only knows how to fight. This kind of thing should be handled by the factory guards.
At this moment, we can only bite the bullet and go for it.
Arrest first, then interrogate!
Then report it to the Holy One and ask the factory guards to handle the case.
In the capital, sweaters spread rapidly among the people.
Wool prices are rising.
Due to supply difficulties, the price of sweaters remains high.
Zhu Qiyu not only did not interfere.
All merchants who were reviewed by factory guards were given a woolen mill license.
With this license, you can open a woolen mill anywhere in the country and be exempted from commercial tax for one year.
It's compensation.
This led to woolen mills springing up like mushrooms after a rain.
Zhu Qiyu also asked the Royal Commercial Bank to publish the process of spinning wool so that all woolen mills could learn it.
Land in the capital is expensive, manpower is expensive, and there is a big tiger like the emperor, who knows when he will be cut.
Therefore, they took a fancy to Tianjin Sanwei.
Tianjin Sanwei is located next to the Triangle Lake, formerly Zhigu.
The reason for choosing this place is that it is offshore. If enemies come from the north, they can be loaded onto the ship at any time and run south.
Secondly, it is close to the capital, so you can do business in the capital and avoid being harvested by the emperor.
Thirdly, it is a place close to the sea, which facilitates transportation and reduces transportation costs. As for pirates, they all know it.
A large number of businessmen crowded into Sanwei, Tianjin to set up factories.
Zhu Qiyu simply drew a circle on the map and assigned all the land along Zhigu, Daku, Beitang, and the Wei River to Tianjin.
The Three Guards of Tianjin were withdrawn and renamed Tianjin Guards, or Tianjin for short.
Three guards from Tianjin moved one guard to garrison Dagu and built a fort in Dagu to guard against Japanese pirates.
"Your Majesty, why should Tianjin be established?"
In the Yangxin Hall, Hu Hui, who was drinking tea, felt that it was unnecessary.
"Old Master, have you noticed that the space in the capital has been cramped recently, and the air at night is dirty and black smoke billows."
"If the crowds continue, the entire capital may explode."
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "In the end, it's all my fault."
"Forced merchants from all over the world, forcibly relocated kings and their in-laws, forcibly moved literati from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, and conscripted civilians to repair the Forbidden City."
"As a result, the population of the capital has reached more than 400 million!"
“Let’s not talk about food, let’s just say there is not enough firewood to burn.”
“I don’t know how many people will freeze to death this year.”
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "I was too hasty in doing things, and that's why this happened."
Hu Hui knelt on the ground: "Everything your Majesty has done is for the country and the people, and he has never had any selfish motives. Your holy spirit, civility and martial arts will be inspired by heaven. I beg your Majesty not to blame yourself."
"The old lady advised me at the beginning because I was anxious."
Zhu Qiyu asked him to get up and said with a wry smile: "So, I want to build another big city in Tianjin to share the pressure of the capital."
Hu Hu looked at the map: "Why choose Tianjin? Tianjin is too far away from the capital and is close to the sea, so it is difficult to develop."
In addition to the northern barbarians, there were also Japanese pirates and pirates who made things difficult for the Ming Dynasty.
The seaside is very uneven.
Zhu Qiyu stood up and pointed at Jingshi, Xianghe, Wuqing and Dong'an.
"Look, I plan to build a number of big cities along the route."
“Develop business.”
"In this way, the capital will be connected with Tianjin."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "When the pirates of Jingqing are defeated, I will use sea transportation to transport grain from the south again, and Tianjin will become the most important link."
"In this way, the pressure on the canal will be reduced, and both sea and canal transportation will be used. There will be no need to spend huge sums of money every year to comb the canal."
"It was these merchants who went to Tianjin, otherwise I would not have built Tianjin in a hurry."
Wang Hong also stood up, stood in front of the map, and pointed at Dagu: "If Tianjin is developed, forts must be set up in Dagu and Beitang to guard against pirates."
"Tianjin three guards, you can move two guards to fill Dagu and Beitang."
"Just leave one guard to guard Tianjin."
"We still need to train our naval forces, and at least we won't let Japanese pirates come ashore to cause trouble."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Just follow Wang Aiqing's words."
"Gentlemen, Li Bing and Chen Tai gave me a big surprise."
He asked Feng Xiao to bring the memorial and show it to the important ministers.
There was a freezing rain outside today, and it's noon and it hasn't stopped yet.
So he canceled the morning court and performed the ceremony in Yangxin Hall.
Yu Qian is sick and didn't come today.
It was very warm in the Yangxin Hall. The charcoal was burning. They were all wearing sweaters and woolen trousers and holding hot tea in their hands. It was warm.
After Hu Hui read it, he circulated it one by one.
"Your Majesty, we have been using this lime. Is there anything special about it?" Hu Hui asked in surprise.
Chen Tai, a master of city construction, improved ancient cement.
In fact, the first generation of cement was widely used in the early Ming Dynasty. When the Ming Dynasty built cities and the Great Wall, lime was used to seal the joints.
In the Hongwu Dynasty, lime and rice porridge were used to increase the solidification between city bricks and strips of stone.
"Old Master, take a closer look."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Because the servants were returning home one after another, the construction of the city was suspended. When Chen Tai had nothing to do, he pondered this lime formula."
Chen Tai used clay, cinders, clay fragments, etc., mixed with quicklime to make a paste.
Then it is dried on a heated kang and ground into powder.
Lime powder is made.
But the lime powder solidified too quickly, so he added glutinous rice and gypsum powder to slow down the solidification speed.
A new generation of lime powder is produced.
It can be regarded as cement, but it is not industrial cement.
Only the original version.
"This Chen Tai is quite talented." Wang Hong praised.
"Pass the message that Chen Tai has made great achievements in making lime powder. He will be given a bronze talisman to commend him and encourage him to keep up his efforts."
Zhu Qiyu made an exception and rewarded him with a bronze talisman.
Hu Xi said, "Your Majesty, is the reward too heavy?"
"A thousand pieces of gold buys a horse bone!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "Moreover, building cities and roads are top priorities. If the Ming Dynasty wants to control Mobei forever, it must control the roads."
"That's what Your Majesty said."
Hu Xi nodded slightly: "But this kind of lime powder is very expensive. It can only be used to seal cracks, not to build roads. It is too expensive and cannot be afforded."
"Don't be impatient, old lady. Experience must be accumulated slowly. Over the years, you will naturally gain more experience."
Speaking of it.
Zhu Qiyu stood up and walked to the map: "Gentlemen, many ancient cities have disappeared!"
"Once upon a time, the city that represented the glorious history of China disappeared into the long river of history!"
"Every time I look at the map, I feel very sad."
"Look, this is Fengning, this is Chengde, and here is Chifeng."
"I plan to go north in Chifeng."
"Where several rivers meet, rebuild Yecheng!"
"Ye City was first built by Duke Huan of Qi. It was the hometown of the Three Kingdoms and the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. However, it was destroyed by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty."
"I don't want to say more about the historical reasons."
"There is no need to build again at the original site. It is meaningless to waste people's energy."
"I plan to build the city of Ye here, rebuild the capital of Ye here, and recreate the prosperity of Cao Wei!"
The place he chose was to the north of Chifeng.
After passing Wengniute Banner, we reached a place called Zalut Right Banner.
"Your Majesty, are you going to rebuild Yecheng in such a desolate place?"
Wang Hong couldn't help it anymore: "Yecheng is an important town in China, but it has gone to the grassland. If future generations read the history books, won't it cause confusion?"
"Cao Wei established his capital on the grassland?"
"So is Cao Wei a Han? Or a grassland nation?"
"Where did Chinese history originate?"
This statement makes people laugh and cry.
But it is a serious historical issue.
Especially for the issue of origin, we must not go to the grasslands, because the roots of the Han people are the Han region, and they are inclusive and integrated with other ethnic groups. After all, they have roots.
The courtiers all nodded, believing that history should not be distorted at will. This would cause confusion when future generations read history books.
Once the city of Ye was built in Zalut, did Qi Huan Gong rule the grassland?
Yuan Shao is entrenched on the grassland?
Cao Cao chose grassland to build his capital?Is it because Cao Cao couldn't get used to living in a house in the Central Plains?
After reading this, why don’t future generations scold you?
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help laughing: "Wang Qing, don't be anxious."
"You can ask people to visit the ruins of the original Ye City, erect a stone tablet and explain the reasons."
"The reason why I rebuilt Ye City."
"Because Yecheng was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, this name carries the blood of China. I will not allow the pearl to become dusty."
"If I want to rule the grassland, I must eliminate everything that Genghis Khan brought to the grassland and make it disappear completely."
"Otherwise, the grassland will never belong to me, and it will never belong to the Han people."
“Everything must be changed to Chinese names!”
"Tell me, if you want to shock the entire grassland, which city's name can do that?"
"Only Yecheng, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, has this qualification!"
"Look at the place I chose. It has a dense water network and is an important transportation hub."
"Control this place, the east can control the northeast;"
"It's another commanding height, where you can control Jehol;"
"The north can help defend the capital of Hanzhou, so it is a chosen place."
Zhu Qiyu looked serious.
He wanted to rebuild the lost cities in the Central Plains all over the world.
"I'm still thinking that each province has ancient names, such as the land of Qilu and the land of Yanzhao. As long as I say it, we Chinese people will know this place. It can be said that it has a long history."
"But the newly built buildings in Jehol have no abbreviation and even less history."
"Since Yedu has been rebuilt, let's set this place as 'Zhao'!"
"North Zhili is Yan, then Rehe is Zhao."
"The land of Yanzhao refers to Beizhili plus Rehe."
"Since it is the land of Zhao, we will name this county Zhongmu (Alukorqin Banner);"
"This place is Yancheng (Bahrain), and this place is Feilian (Wengniute Banner);"
"This place is Erlai (Keshiketeng Banner), this place is Feilian (Aohan Banner);"
"This place is Yurong (Naiman Banner), this place is Wusui (Kulun Banner), this place is Fangcheng (Chaoyang City)..."
Zhu Qiyu used personal names and ancient place names, mixed them, and used them in a nondescript manner.
The courtier rolled his eyes wildly, your name is quite casual.
Is it polite to just use the ancient name?
Hu Xi couldn't stand listening any longer: "Your Majesty, I will go back and read the history of Zhao State carefully. Don't decide on the name so recklessly, okay?"
You are too casual.
You also scold your predecessors for naming places casually, but you are not much better.
Zhu Qiyu was startled but not determined: "Old Master, I'll leave it to you. Try to use as many ancient place names and ancient people's names as possible."
Hu Hu rolled his eyes. You are too outrageous. You sent Zhao Guo to the grassland.
Are we going to send Wei State to the grassland too?
Please, please don’t harm the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, okay?
That’s my Han roots!
Zhu Qiyu still had unfinished meaning: "I want to name this capital of Hanzhou carefully. Which one is better, the Wei State during the Warring States Period, or the Cao Wei State? Or should I use the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
"There are too many Weis. Do we need to split them into East, West, and Southern Wei? Haha!"
Chinese history is really fascinating.
There are many place names everywhere, and there is always one that sounds very nice.
Hu Hui spilled the tea soup in his hand: "Your Majesty, give it to me, give it to me."
Wang Hong patted his chest and gave a false alarm. I am impressed by your naming ability.
Please, don’t use it again.
"Yecheng must not only be built, but also be built on a large scale!"
Zhu Qiyu said loudly: "When the Yedu is built and the Rehe administration is changed to Yedu, then pick the highest mountain and change it to Zhaoshan, find a water and change it to Zhaoshui."
"There are three prefectures in Rehe, Fengning Prefecture, Chengde Prefecture, and Yedu Prefecture."
"Outside of Xuan Town, I plan to build another large city, Jinyang!"
"Jinyang City, which disappeared in the long river of history, was originally the capital of Zhao State."
"It just so happens that there is another mansion added to Rehe, which is Jinyang mansion."
"I haven't chosen the place yet."
"The four prefectures are collectively called Rehe and the land of Zhao."
Zhu Qiyu rubbed the map.
He loves this territory map so much.
This is the country of the Han people, a country that cannot be changed!
If there were Chinese names everywhere, they would all be ancient names, so it would be more comfortable to call them.
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "When the initial construction of Rehe is completed in the future, I will move Xuan Town into Rehe..."
He subconsciously spoke the truth and quickly turned back to look at the courtiers.
Seeing them thinking hard, they didn't pay attention to his words.Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
But the courtiers were wondering whether the emperor's use of Yedu was suspected of establishing a third capital.
"Song Taizong is this bastard!"
"If I can't defeat them, I will burn down Jinyang City!"
"Fortunately, Emperor Taizu was wise and did not consecrate his dog to the throne!"
"If he worships him, I will kick him out directly!"
"damn thing!"
"A dog that's not a human being!"
Zhu Qiyu hated this god of war who drifted in a donkey cart. He was the same as Zhu Qizhen and was worse than Zhu Qizhen.
Emperor Taizu was more awesome and only worshiped ten emperors.
All ten of them are outstanding Chinese people!
This shows that Emperor Taizu had a high vision.
"Your Majesty, please don't get angry. Since Jinyang City has been burned down for hundreds of years, you are only hurting yourself if you get angry. Why don't we rebuild Jinyang City?"
Hu Xi consoled him.
"Is there anyone guarding Song Taizong's mausoleum?" Zhu Qiyu became angry when he mentioned it.
"Your Majesty, after all, he is the former emperor, and he is also the emperor of the Han Dynasty, so he will naturally protect you." Wang Hong smiled bitterly.
This is a matter between emperors, how can they dare to comment on it?
"Bulldozed!"
"The emperor is worse than a dog!"
"Why keep it?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were serious: "A weak Song Dynasty and a weak Song Dynasty are qualified to bear the incense?"
"In the entire weak Song Dynasty, Song Taizu is the only outstanding person. The other emperors are just shit! Even worse than shit!"
The courtier slowly stood up and knelt on the ground.
Hu Xi smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, why bother with our ancestors? It's the Ming Dynasty now, so there is no need to dwell on the past affairs of the previous dynasty."
"The old lady is right."
"That's all, don't mention this piece of shit!"
"Your Majesty, please think carefully. You can find out the ancient place names of Zhao State and the disappeared place names."
"New Town has no history, so let's make it up for them."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Qi Julang: "Qi Julang, come here!"
The living man in the corner of Yangxin Hall crawled over: "Your Majesty."
"You are a historian, do you know how to make up history?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
The living man's name is Cheshu, who has served the emperor for eight years.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, how do you make up history? Compare it with the original history. You can tell at a glance. You can't burn the original history, right?"
"That's absolutely not possible!" Hu Hui said quickly.
The courtiers all stood up.
But we can't ruin history.
"Of course we can't destroy history, we can just create some history, such as Li Mu, who attacked the Huns from the north, right?"
"As long as the place name is changed, then Rehe will be the land of Han, because this is the hometown of the Spring and Autumn Period and the ancestral land of the Han people."
The emperor's intention is to put all the world into the pre-Qin Dynasty.
Replace the original history with stories from the pre-Qin period.
"Then, will my Han bloodline continue?" Qi Julang found it difficult to understand the emperor's thinking.
"Break it off!"
Zhu Qiyu wanted to slap him: "Old Taifu, you go and gather a group of officials and literati who are good at compiling history, and start compiling the history of Rehe in the next year."
"I want the history of Zhao State to appear in Rehe, but I cannot interrupt our Chinese civilization."
"I just need to tell future generations that Rehe is the hometown of the Han people, and the people living in Rehe are all descendants of the Han people."
Hu Bi didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Yingying knelt down and said, "Old minister, I obey the order."
Che Shu's face was full of confusion, why did you bother to do this?
Besides, if you revise the history of the Han Dynasty, you must also revise the history of the Huns, Turks, and even the Mongols, otherwise it will not be unified.
If it's wrong in one place, it's wrong everywhere.
It's all buggy.
"Are you stupid!"
Zhu Qiyu really wanted to slap him: "Do the Xiongnu, Turks, and Mongolia have history? Do they know how to compile history? Idiot! Have you ever seen any Hu people compile history?"
"The Hu people who wrote history have all been Sinicized!"
"You have read so many books in vain!"
"Don't you know this bit of common sense?"
"idiot!"
"roll roll roll!"
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and turned to look at Hu Hui: "Old Master, I have worked so hard to find place names and revise history, for what purpose?"
"The purpose is to completely Chineseize this place."
"Only with history can people completely return to their hearts."
"Only the new immigrants can have roots."
Hu Xi knelt on the ground: "I understand your majesty's painstaking efforts, but your majesty has been too hasty."
"According to your plan, it will take at least three years to build the four palaces in Rehe."
"It will take ten years to repopulate the country with immigrants."
"It may take 30 years for people's hearts to completely stabilize."
"By then, no matter what their name is, they will all be Han Chinese."
Zhu Qiyu disagreed: "Old Taifu, the Han people's sense of belonging comes from all aspects, and words, city names, and people's names are the most important parts."
“You can’t just think about what’s ahead.”
"When I am gone, maybe Ming Dynasty will go downhill again."
"When the Ming Dynasty is no longer glorious."
"What about those people who look different from us, speak differently, and even have place names that are ancient names of other people? Will they start a rebellion?"
"The Ming Dynasty has such a vast territory. Once it rebels, it will fall apart."
"I don't dare to think about it."
"The territory that was conquered through painstaking efforts finally fell apart."
Zhu Qiyu thought further.
Because he saw it!
If all people have Chinese names and all speak Chinese, will there be a day of rebellion?
No, because they will completely identify with Chinese civilization.
Will obey the emperor.
Even if it is a rebellion, it will only be a rebellion. In the end, the Han will be the emperor, and there will be no other foreigners!
Hu Bing kowtowed and said, "Old minister, I have been taught this. It is because I am short-sighted. Compiling the history of the county and changing the name of the Han Dynasty are the top priorities. I will live up to your majesty's high expectations."
"Get up."
Zhu Qiyu added: "With a Han name and a history, the city will have a sense of belonging."
"The same is true for those naturalized Mongols."
"Only when they change their Chinese names, speak Chinese, and forget their language and history will they become our people."
"Being gentle, naturalized, and completely annexing the land of foreigners into the land of our Han people is a long process. I am not in a hurry, and neither are you."
"We, the monarchs and ministers, work together to achieve peace for all eternity."
The courtiers all knelt down and wished him long live.
"Have coal mines in various places started mining coal?"
“We must supply not only Gyeonggi, but the entire north.”
"It's best not to freeze to death this year."
"The Royal Trading Company has rushed out a batch of sweaters."
"I plan to send sweaters to the soldiers in the Battle of Tingyi first. They have made great contributions, so I will give them priority to keep them warm."
"We strive to give every soldier in the north a sweater before the Chinese New Year."
Zhu Qiyu failed to give each person a cotton-padded coat.
Then give me a sweater.
"Your Majesty treats the soldiers so kindly, the soldiers in the north will definitely burst into tears with gratitude!" Wang Hong flattered him.
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Those who sent soldiers from the north first before the year, and those who sent soldiers from the south after the year, I, as the emperor, must be fair."
"Get someone to get one."
"It's getting colder day by day, and I'm afraid the sweater won't be of much use anymore."
Hu Xi sighed: "Yes, it's cold and it's hard to endure."
"It doesn't matter. I have a sweater to keep me warm this year. It should be better than every year." Wang Hong said.
"Mr. Wang Ge, have you noticed that this year's late autumn is colder than last year's late autumn." Hu Hao has cold legs and is more sensitive than others.
Wang Hong and Wang Fu looked at each other without feeling anything.
"This old man's legs are so good." Hu Hui lowered his thighs with a wry smile.
Only then did Zhu Qiyu know that Hu Bi had old cold legs.
In an instant, I realized that the courtiers were all very old, and the winter in the capital was also difficult. What other clothes could keep me warm?
correct!
Down jacket!
In ancient times, there were no down jackets, nor were down jackets made from duck down or goose down to keep warm.
"Your Majesty was very worried before. The weather is indeed getting colder every year."
Hu Hui smiled bitterly and said: "You are very right to open up the south and relieve the pressure on the north."
"Thank you for the compliment from the old lady."
Zhu Qiyu stood up and said: "This winter will be difficult. The capital has a large population, huge food consumption, and public security is also a big problem."
"I plan to increase the manpower of the patrol battalion to maintain law and order in the capital."
The courtiers were stunned. The emperor wanted to expand the factory guards?
"Even immigrants have to wait until after the New Year."
If people are not moved away, the capital cannot afford such a large population, and something will happen sooner or later.
Just talking.
A young eunuch ran over quickly, opened the door without lifting the curtain, and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, urgent report from Jiangxi!"
"Come in!"
A eunuch opened the curtain, and a cool breeze poured into the Yangxin Hall.
Fortunately, the main hall is spacious and the cold air cannot reach Zhu Qiyu.
Feng Xiao took the memorial, put it under his arm and covered it before kneeling down and presenting it.
Opening the memorial, Zhu Qiyu flipped through it quickly.
"Jin Zhong is interested."
He handed it to Hu Xi.
After reading it, Hu Hui had a look of surprise on his face: "A total of 7000 million taels? Where does Jiangxi come from so much money?"
The money copied by the Hu family was far beyond the courtiers' expectations.
It's too much.
Immediately he beamed, thinking how to divide so much money!
Next year will be a year of relaxation.
"It's just the tip of the iceberg."
"If we continue to investigate, it's estimated to be hundreds of millions of taels."
A smile appeared on Zhu Qiyu's face: "That's a good thing, I'm worried about having no money."
"If you build the world, won't you get money?"
The courtiers shuddered.
The emperor showed this smile, wondering who was going to suffer.
"Your Majesty, Duke Cheng Guo will escort the silver and send it to the capital in batches. There will be no peace on the road." Wang Hong was worried.
"Just lure the snake out of its hole."
"Jin Zhong is assisted by Yang Xin, Zhu Yi, and Zhang Shan. If he can't handle this matter, he will return to Beijing to retire."
"And what about Ma Jin? With those bullshit gentry in Jiangxi, what kind of trouble can they stir up?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Jiangxi doesn't need to worry about the Central Committee."
"What should I take back to Jiangxi on the return trip?"
The courtier was stunned: "Your Majesty, you don't want to take the opportunity to immigrate, do you?"
"Wang Qing still knows my heart."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "The pressure in the capital is so great, why leave some waste in the capital? There is a shortage of people in the two provinces and Guangxi."
"Just move them all over to relieve the pressure on water transportation."
"It's snowing here, but we still have summer."
Those who can immigrate are the clan members.
After thinking briefly, Hu Xi immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, we must not allow the clan to fill the two lakes, let alone go to Guangdong and Guangxi."
"Why?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.
"Your Majesty, the two lakes have been important areas for food since ancient times. Due to constant rebellions in our dynasty, the two lakes were deserted."
"Now the two lakes have come back to life."
"If you wait ten years, the two lakes will become big granaries."
"Although those clans have been expelled, they still have the surname Zhu."
"If someone has evil intentions, it will be difficult to control them."
Hu Hui was worried that the north and the south would be divided.
Once the two lakes are occupied, with Guangdong and Guangxi as the basis and Jiangxi as the buffer, this will be the place of victory and the foundation for dominance.
"What if we ask him to change his surname?" Zhu Qiyu couldn't do it rashly.
"I'm afraid that's not possible, Your Majesty. After all, the blood of Emperor Taizu remains. If you force me to change my surname, I'm afraid it will shake up the clan and make the gain outweigh the loss." Hu Hui objected.
Wang Hong and others also echoed.
They all thought it was inappropriate.
"It would be a waste to go back with an empty ship."
The people of Gyeonggi cannot be moved easily.
He has committed no crime and has food and drink at home, so why should he go to the two lakes and suffer?
The civilian husbands are already on their way back to their hometowns one after another, and they cannot move.
We have to send troops to protect him when he returns home.
"Your Majesty, the sheep have become fatter after the snow fell, and it's time to slaughter them."
Wang Fu said with a smile: "The state has captured so many sheep, so why not take this opportunity to transport them to Jiangxi, reward or sell them, and make a fortune."
"Mr. Wang Ge, how much is a sheep worth? How much does it cost for a ship to sail back and forth? It's a total loss." Bai Gui retorted.
Wang Fu smiled and said: "Sheep on the grassland are not valuable in the capital, but they are valuable in the south."
"Not only can it be sold to Jiangxi, but it can also be sold to Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, and Guangdong and Guangxi!"
“There are two lakes on the way.”
"They are all short of sheep. They will definitely be sold at a high price."
When Bai Gui heard it, it made sense.
Who doesn’t like eating mutton?
"Well, if it's an empty ship, let's transport sheep."
Zhu Qiyu still wanted to transport people there: "Old Master, can't we just move the clan to Hubei?"
"I don't think it's possible!"
Hu Hui was very determined.
"There will still be some time before we can enter Beijing. Let's discuss it then."
After talking about a few more things, they left.
"Feng Xiao, are there any ducks and geese in the palace?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Back to your lord, these things are not raised in the palace. Why do you ask about these things?"
"I want to make a dress." Zhu Qiyu pretended.
Feng Xiao was confused. What kind of clothes could ducks and geese make?
"Your Majesty, many farmers in the capital raise ducks. Just send people out of the palace to buy them." Feng Xiao thought that the emperor would use thousands of them.
"Don't Shangshi Bureau use ducks?"
"Use it!"
"Go get the duck feathers and find some people who know how to raise ducks to enter the palace. I have something to ask."
Send Feng Xiao away.
Zhu Qiyu moved for a while and then began to deal with the memorial.
Snow has fallen in Siping City.
Had to stop work.
Start repatriating civilian husbands.
Folks have begun to collect autumn gifts.
But because many places were hit by disasters this year, Zhu Qiyu began to think about which places should reduce or reduce autumn taxes.
He has asked the Cabinet to do the counting.
I watched it for more than an hour.
When he stood up and stretched his muscles, he found Dong Cihou at the door and asked him to come in.
"Why don't you go to the side hall and wait?" Zhu Qiyu asked him to warm himself by the fire.
Dong Ci was soaked by the freezing rain.
Kneeling in front of the fire, he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this slave has just arrived. I heard the eunuch said that you were dealing with the memorial, so I didn't dare to disturb you."
"Find a square towel and wipe it with him."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Next time you go to the side hall to wait, don't freeze your body, and take care of yourself."
"My slave, thank you for your concern." Dong Ci choked with sobs.
"Get up and get closer to the brazier."
Zhu Qiyu sat on the chair and said, "You have done a great job by donating this sweater. You have done a very good job."
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."
Dong Ci got to the point: "Your Majesty, you asked your slaves to disclose the weaving method and secret recipe. Now this woolen mill is the most profitable business in the capital..."
"Don't talk in circles when talking about things." Zhu Qiyu scolded.
"You said that all factories that use slaves' secret recipes will have to pay patent fees."
Dong Ci knelt down and said, "But recently, several woolen mills are unwilling to pay the slaves' patent fees, saying that they have not used the slaves' patents."
"But my slave has seen their sweaters. They use the patent of the Royal Commercial House. There is no mistake!"
Is there a pirated version so soon?
Are you still piracy in front of the genuine ones?
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Who is it? Say your name!"
"Your Majesty, this is Prince Zheng."
No wonder Dong Ci did not go to the Ministry of Rites, but came to the palace to complain.
"King Zheng?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were dark: "Is he short of money?"
"Back to the Emperor, I don't know. I have been very busy recently. I have thousands of looms working day and night, just to complete the tasks assigned to me by the Emperor."
Dong Ci was miserable, but he understood the ways of the world.
"Get up, I'll let someone check."
Zhu Qiyu did not expect that the first person to pop up was Prince Zheng.
Where did he get the confidence?
"Slave, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Dong Ci asked again: "Your Majesty, if I improve the loom, can it be included in the new patent?"
"Of course. No matter what you improve, as long as you register it with the Patent Office, you will have your patent."
"No matter who infringes the rights, the Ministry of Rites will naturally hold them accountable."
"Of course, registering a patent also costs money. You should understand the process."
Zhu Qiyu didn't even expect it.
As soon as the Patent Office appeared, many businessmen around the world rushed to register patents in order to get royalties.
The patent office turned a profit quickly.
What followed was all kinds of troubles.
The Patent Office submits the petition directly to the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Punishment will naturally take care of it.
This is also the original intention of establishing the Patent Office.
"You have improved the loom again?" Zhu Qiyu didn't notice that Dong Ci was so talented in business?
Dong Ci smiled sheepishly and said, "It just improves efficiency. After all, the time you gave me is tight and the task is heavy. If I want to complete it, I have to find another way."
"Okay, Dong Ci, as long as you can complete the task, I will give you a good thing during the Chinese New Year!"
Just talking.
Feng Xiao recruited farmers from outside the palace to join the palace.
As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw Dong Ci in the hall with a smile on his face.
Dong Ci is very sensible and will give him a sweater of a new color so he can try it out.
There is a hundred words missing, and I will make up for a thousand words tomorrow!
(End of this chapter)
"Sir, there is a boat docking!"
Just when he was hesitating, a soldier came trotting in to report.
"But the pirates are coming?" Zhao Ying frowned, there was no such thing in the plan.
Ou Xin walked out of the tent and ran to the rocks to look out. Someone on the boat was waving the flag of the shore. It was the dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty!
He immediately asked someone to raise a flag and allow the ship to dock.
Zhao Ying and Lin Hao also came out and saw Long Qi, their expressions changed slightly.
Looking at each other, they both saw helplessness.
Soon, the ship docked. Zhu Yong lifted up his official robe, stepped off the ship's branch, faced the wind and came hunting, and said with cupped hands: "I am the deputy commander-in-chief of Guangdong Zhu Yong!"
"But Uncle Funing?"
Zhu Yong is the second-rank deputy general, and Ou Xin is the third-rank general, with a higher official position than Ou Xin.
He smiled and nodded: "It's me."
"Mark Ou Xin and see Fu Ning Bo!" Ou Xin's attitude was respectful.
"You and I, colleagues, don't need to be polite, let's talk business first." Zhu Yong acted resolutely.
After spending several months at the beach, others developed a tan.
He was jealous when he saw the generals of Guangxi excelling and being commended by the emperor with imperial edicts.
At this moment, Liu Zhenhai was sent to assist Ou Xin.
I feel somewhat uncomfortable in my heart.
Ou Xin was only a commander of the First Guard, but now he was ranked as a third-grade general, and his knighthood was just around the corner.
He was higher than Ou Xin in terms of official position and title, but Liu Zhenhai asked him to assist Ou Xin, saying it was the emperor's order.
This shows Ouxin's status in the emperor's heart.
Zhu Yong was welcomed into the big tent.
Ou Xin is also strange. He doesn't want to live in a house, but likes to live in a big tent.
He told Zhu Yong the situation.
"Pirates from Hailing Island? But Lin Jie?" Zhu Yong is training in the navy, but he is a landlubber and doesn't understand water warfare, let alone naval warfare?
"It's Lin Jie!"
Ou Xin glanced at Lin Hao, gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, can you please lead the troops to kill the pirates? I still have unfinished business for my humble duty!"
Before Zhu Yong could answer, Lin Hao said: "Yangjiang is in danger, we should send someone to rescue him!"
"Prefect Lin, are you no longer in pain?"
Ou Xin's face darkened: "If Uncle Fu Ning goes there personally, what kind of pirates can't be quelled?"
"And you, Zhao Ying!"
"If Yangjiang is breached, your black gauze hat will still be lost!"
Zhu Yong frowned slightly, slightly dissatisfied with Ou Xin's aggressive attitude.
Mainly because he doesn't know how to fight in water.
Although he led three thousand naval forces, he never fought a serious water battle.
He was also flustered.
"Uncle Fu Ning, the pirates have landed, and we will send [-] native soldiers to help."
Ou Xin shouted outside the tent: "Zhong Asi, Nong Zhigao, Cen Dourong, come in!"
"Although these three generals are natives, they fight bravely."
"With your personal leadership, we will definitely be able to quell the pirate raids!"
He had to trust Zhu Yong now.
Three big men with knives at their waists came in and knelt on one knee.
Zhu Yong knew himself. The Guangxi native soldiers were like sheep in Ou Xin's hands, but in his hands, they might be like tigers, and they might bite back.
"Don't worry, sir. These three people have already obtained official status and they dare not make any mistakes."
Ou Xin saw through Zhu Yong’s worries.
"Okay, I will personally lead the army to meet this pirate!" Zhu Yong is really not afraid of fighting.
He is handsome and talented.
That's why the emperor opened his eyes and let him live.
If a pirate can't eat anything after landing on land, he will be useless.
He was also eager for military success and wanted to prove himself in front of the emperor.
Ou Xin whispered a few words, Zhu Yong's eyes flashed and he nodded slightly.
Then he took Zhao Ying to send troops.
Lin Hao wanted to leave, but no one ignored him.
He curled his lips and suddenly remembered Zhao Ying's words. He closed his eyes in despair. If I die, Ou Xin won't even think about it!
"Uncle Fu Ning, Ou Xin, together with He Wei, slandered me, Lin Hao, and conspired to rebel. I have evidence in my hand..."
Bang!
Before he finished shouting, Lin Hao bumped his head against the handle of the wooden chair.
It poked into the eye socket and blood spurted out.
As soon as Zhu Yong went out, he heard Lin Hao's screams. When he entered the tent, he saw Lin Hao lying on the ground, dying tragically.
"Master, Master!" Zhao Ying was good at acting, hugging Lin Hao and crying.
Help Lin Hao complete what he didn't say.
It didn't say that Ou Xin rebelled, only that Ou Xin tortured Lin Hao, but I don't know why.
Zhu Yong looked over.
"Sir, pirates raiding the border is a major matter for the country. Once the central government investigates, none of us will be able to escape punishment."
Ou Xin cupped his hands and said, "I, Ou Xin, can't run away, so I put important things first!"
Zhu Yong still wanted to ask, but after thinking about it, Ou Xin was right, and Liu Zhenhai asked him to take orders from Ou Xin.
He couldn't lose face and didn't tell Ou Xin, so he just borrowed Po Xia's donkey.
Don't ask anymore.
This made Zhao Ying very surprised.
Watching Zhu Yong lead his army away, Ou Xin slapped his hand on the wooden chair: "I have fallen into the trap again and again. I am so damn stupid!"
Lin Hao and Zhao Ying were making such a fuss.
Zhu Yong will definitely doubt him. He, who was already alone, is now even more desperate.
When someone took the body out, he sat on the chair angrily. It was too difficult to fight against one's own will, so it was better to have a refreshing fight.
and many more.
Why did Lin Hao suddenly change?
Has he been in contact with anyone?
Ou Xin repeatedly reviewed the situation, which started when Lin Hao suddenly slandered He Wei.
He walked out of the big tent, and the sunset was shining brightly on the sea level.
Zhuang Fang hangs on a wooden pole and swings in the wind.
I'm out of breath.
If not him, who could it be?
Can't figure it out.
Ou Xin did not think about him, but planned to arrest people according to the list.
According to Lin Hao, there is no good officialdom in Guangdong. Although there is the possibility of slander, they must be arrested and severely interrogated.
Before he could do anything, he felt huge resistance.
After all, he is a general and only knows how to fight. This kind of thing should be handled by the factory guards.
At this moment, we can only bite the bullet and go for it.
Arrest first, then interrogate!
Then report it to the Holy One and ask the factory guards to handle the case.
In the capital, sweaters spread rapidly among the people.
Wool prices are rising.
Due to supply difficulties, the price of sweaters remains high.
Zhu Qiyu not only did not interfere.
All merchants who were reviewed by factory guards were given a woolen mill license.
With this license, you can open a woolen mill anywhere in the country and be exempted from commercial tax for one year.
It's compensation.
This led to woolen mills springing up like mushrooms after a rain.
Zhu Qiyu also asked the Royal Commercial Bank to publish the process of spinning wool so that all woolen mills could learn it.
Land in the capital is expensive, manpower is expensive, and there is a big tiger like the emperor, who knows when he will be cut.
Therefore, they took a fancy to Tianjin Sanwei.
Tianjin Sanwei is located next to the Triangle Lake, formerly Zhigu.
The reason for choosing this place is that it is offshore. If enemies come from the north, they can be loaded onto the ship at any time and run south.
Secondly, it is close to the capital, so you can do business in the capital and avoid being harvested by the emperor.
Thirdly, it is a place close to the sea, which facilitates transportation and reduces transportation costs. As for pirates, they all know it.
A large number of businessmen crowded into Sanwei, Tianjin to set up factories.
Zhu Qiyu simply drew a circle on the map and assigned all the land along Zhigu, Daku, Beitang, and the Wei River to Tianjin.
The Three Guards of Tianjin were withdrawn and renamed Tianjin Guards, or Tianjin for short.
Three guards from Tianjin moved one guard to garrison Dagu and built a fort in Dagu to guard against Japanese pirates.
"Your Majesty, why should Tianjin be established?"
In the Yangxin Hall, Hu Hui, who was drinking tea, felt that it was unnecessary.
"Old Master, have you noticed that the space in the capital has been cramped recently, and the air at night is dirty and black smoke billows."
"If the crowds continue, the entire capital may explode."
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly: "In the end, it's all my fault."
"Forced merchants from all over the world, forcibly relocated kings and their in-laws, forcibly moved literati from the south of the Yangtze River to the capital, and conscripted civilians to repair the Forbidden City."
"As a result, the population of the capital has reached more than 400 million!"
“Let’s not talk about food, let’s just say there is not enough firewood to burn.”
“I don’t know how many people will freeze to death this year.”
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "I was too hasty in doing things, and that's why this happened."
Hu Hui knelt on the ground: "Everything your Majesty has done is for the country and the people, and he has never had any selfish motives. Your holy spirit, civility and martial arts will be inspired by heaven. I beg your Majesty not to blame yourself."
"The old lady advised me at the beginning because I was anxious."
Zhu Qiyu asked him to get up and said with a wry smile: "So, I want to build another big city in Tianjin to share the pressure of the capital."
Hu Hu looked at the map: "Why choose Tianjin? Tianjin is too far away from the capital and is close to the sea, so it is difficult to develop."
In addition to the northern barbarians, there were also Japanese pirates and pirates who made things difficult for the Ming Dynasty.
The seaside is very uneven.
Zhu Qiyu stood up and pointed at Jingshi, Xianghe, Wuqing and Dong'an.
"Look, I plan to build a number of big cities along the route."
“Develop business.”
"In this way, the capital will be connected with Tianjin."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "When the pirates of Jingqing are defeated, I will use sea transportation to transport grain from the south again, and Tianjin will become the most important link."
"In this way, the pressure on the canal will be reduced, and both sea and canal transportation will be used. There will be no need to spend huge sums of money every year to comb the canal."
"It was these merchants who went to Tianjin, otherwise I would not have built Tianjin in a hurry."
Wang Hong also stood up, stood in front of the map, and pointed at Dagu: "If Tianjin is developed, forts must be set up in Dagu and Beitang to guard against pirates."
"Tianjin three guards, you can move two guards to fill Dagu and Beitang."
"Just leave one guard to guard Tianjin."
"We still need to train our naval forces, and at least we won't let Japanese pirates come ashore to cause trouble."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Just follow Wang Aiqing's words."
"Gentlemen, Li Bing and Chen Tai gave me a big surprise."
He asked Feng Xiao to bring the memorial and show it to the important ministers.
There was a freezing rain outside today, and it's noon and it hasn't stopped yet.
So he canceled the morning court and performed the ceremony in Yangxin Hall.
Yu Qian is sick and didn't come today.
It was very warm in the Yangxin Hall. The charcoal was burning. They were all wearing sweaters and woolen trousers and holding hot tea in their hands. It was warm.
After Hu Hui read it, he circulated it one by one.
"Your Majesty, we have been using this lime. Is there anything special about it?" Hu Hui asked in surprise.
Chen Tai, a master of city construction, improved ancient cement.
In fact, the first generation of cement was widely used in the early Ming Dynasty. When the Ming Dynasty built cities and the Great Wall, lime was used to seal the joints.
In the Hongwu Dynasty, lime and rice porridge were used to increase the solidification between city bricks and strips of stone.
"Old Master, take a closer look."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Because the servants were returning home one after another, the construction of the city was suspended. When Chen Tai had nothing to do, he pondered this lime formula."
Chen Tai used clay, cinders, clay fragments, etc., mixed with quicklime to make a paste.
Then it is dried on a heated kang and ground into powder.
Lime powder is made.
But the lime powder solidified too quickly, so he added glutinous rice and gypsum powder to slow down the solidification speed.
A new generation of lime powder is produced.
It can be regarded as cement, but it is not industrial cement.
Only the original version.
"This Chen Tai is quite talented." Wang Hong praised.
"Pass the message that Chen Tai has made great achievements in making lime powder. He will be given a bronze talisman to commend him and encourage him to keep up his efforts."
Zhu Qiyu made an exception and rewarded him with a bronze talisman.
Hu Xi said, "Your Majesty, is the reward too heavy?"
"A thousand pieces of gold buys a horse bone!"
Zhu Qiyu said: "Moreover, building cities and roads are top priorities. If the Ming Dynasty wants to control Mobei forever, it must control the roads."
"That's what Your Majesty said."
Hu Xi nodded slightly: "But this kind of lime powder is very expensive. It can only be used to seal cracks, not to build roads. It is too expensive and cannot be afforded."
"Don't be impatient, old lady. Experience must be accumulated slowly. Over the years, you will naturally gain more experience."
Speaking of it.
Zhu Qiyu stood up and walked to the map: "Gentlemen, many ancient cities have disappeared!"
"Once upon a time, the city that represented the glorious history of China disappeared into the long river of history!"
"Every time I look at the map, I feel very sad."
"Look, this is Fengning, this is Chengde, and here is Chifeng."
"I plan to go north in Chifeng."
"Where several rivers meet, rebuild Yecheng!"
"Ye City was first built by Duke Huan of Qi. It was the hometown of the Three Kingdoms and the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. However, it was destroyed by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty."
"I don't want to say more about the historical reasons."
"There is no need to build again at the original site. It is meaningless to waste people's energy."
"I plan to build the city of Ye here, rebuild the capital of Ye here, and recreate the prosperity of Cao Wei!"
The place he chose was to the north of Chifeng.
After passing Wengniute Banner, we reached a place called Zalut Right Banner.
"Your Majesty, are you going to rebuild Yecheng in such a desolate place?"
Wang Hong couldn't help it anymore: "Yecheng is an important town in China, but it has gone to the grassland. If future generations read the history books, won't it cause confusion?"
"Cao Wei established his capital on the grassland?"
"So is Cao Wei a Han? Or a grassland nation?"
"Where did Chinese history originate?"
This statement makes people laugh and cry.
But it is a serious historical issue.
Especially for the issue of origin, we must not go to the grasslands, because the roots of the Han people are the Han region, and they are inclusive and integrated with other ethnic groups. After all, they have roots.
The courtiers all nodded, believing that history should not be distorted at will. This would cause confusion when future generations read history books.
Once the city of Ye was built in Zalut, did Qi Huan Gong rule the grassland?
Yuan Shao is entrenched on the grassland?
Cao Cao chose grassland to build his capital?Is it because Cao Cao couldn't get used to living in a house in the Central Plains?
After reading this, why don’t future generations scold you?
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help laughing: "Wang Qing, don't be anxious."
"You can ask people to visit the ruins of the original Ye City, erect a stone tablet and explain the reasons."
"The reason why I rebuilt Ye City."
"Because Yecheng was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, this name carries the blood of China. I will not allow the pearl to become dusty."
"If I want to rule the grassland, I must eliminate everything that Genghis Khan brought to the grassland and make it disappear completely."
"Otherwise, the grassland will never belong to me, and it will never belong to the Han people."
“Everything must be changed to Chinese names!”
"Tell me, if you want to shock the entire grassland, which city's name can do that?"
"Only Yecheng, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, has this qualification!"
"Look at the place I chose. It has a dense water network and is an important transportation hub."
"Control this place, the east can control the northeast;"
"It's another commanding height, where you can control Jehol;"
"The north can help defend the capital of Hanzhou, so it is a chosen place."
Zhu Qiyu looked serious.
He wanted to rebuild the lost cities in the Central Plains all over the world.
"I'm still thinking that each province has ancient names, such as the land of Qilu and the land of Yanzhao. As long as I say it, we Chinese people will know this place. It can be said that it has a long history."
"But the newly built buildings in Jehol have no abbreviation and even less history."
"Since Yedu has been rebuilt, let's set this place as 'Zhao'!"
"North Zhili is Yan, then Rehe is Zhao."
"The land of Yanzhao refers to Beizhili plus Rehe."
"Since it is the land of Zhao, we will name this county Zhongmu (Alukorqin Banner);"
"This place is Yancheng (Bahrain), and this place is Feilian (Wengniute Banner);"
"This place is Erlai (Keshiketeng Banner), this place is Feilian (Aohan Banner);"
"This place is Yurong (Naiman Banner), this place is Wusui (Kulun Banner), this place is Fangcheng (Chaoyang City)..."
Zhu Qiyu used personal names and ancient place names, mixed them, and used them in a nondescript manner.
The courtier rolled his eyes wildly, your name is quite casual.
Is it polite to just use the ancient name?
Hu Xi couldn't stand listening any longer: "Your Majesty, I will go back and read the history of Zhao State carefully. Don't decide on the name so recklessly, okay?"
You are too casual.
You also scold your predecessors for naming places casually, but you are not much better.
Zhu Qiyu was startled but not determined: "Old Master, I'll leave it to you. Try to use as many ancient place names and ancient people's names as possible."
Hu Hu rolled his eyes. You are too outrageous. You sent Zhao Guo to the grassland.
Are we going to send Wei State to the grassland too?
Please, please don’t harm the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, okay?
That’s my Han roots!
Zhu Qiyu still had unfinished meaning: "I want to name this capital of Hanzhou carefully. Which one is better, the Wei State during the Warring States Period, or the Cao Wei State? Or should I use the Northern Wei Dynasty?"
"There are too many Weis. Do we need to split them into East, West, and Southern Wei? Haha!"
Chinese history is really fascinating.
There are many place names everywhere, and there is always one that sounds very nice.
Hu Hui spilled the tea soup in his hand: "Your Majesty, give it to me, give it to me."
Wang Hong patted his chest and gave a false alarm. I am impressed by your naming ability.
Please, don’t use it again.
"Yecheng must not only be built, but also be built on a large scale!"
Zhu Qiyu said loudly: "When the Yedu is built and the Rehe administration is changed to Yedu, then pick the highest mountain and change it to Zhaoshan, find a water and change it to Zhaoshui."
"There are three prefectures in Rehe, Fengning Prefecture, Chengde Prefecture, and Yedu Prefecture."
"Outside of Xuan Town, I plan to build another large city, Jinyang!"
"Jinyang City, which disappeared in the long river of history, was originally the capital of Zhao State."
"It just so happens that there is another mansion added to Rehe, which is Jinyang mansion."
"I haven't chosen the place yet."
"The four prefectures are collectively called Rehe and the land of Zhao."
Zhu Qiyu rubbed the map.
He loves this territory map so much.
This is the country of the Han people, a country that cannot be changed!
If there were Chinese names everywhere, they would all be ancient names, so it would be more comfortable to call them.
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "When the initial construction of Rehe is completed in the future, I will move Xuan Town into Rehe..."
He subconsciously spoke the truth and quickly turned back to look at the courtiers.
Seeing them thinking hard, they didn't pay attention to his words.Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
But the courtiers were wondering whether the emperor's use of Yedu was suspected of establishing a third capital.
"Song Taizong is this bastard!"
"If I can't defeat them, I will burn down Jinyang City!"
"Fortunately, Emperor Taizu was wise and did not consecrate his dog to the throne!"
"If he worships him, I will kick him out directly!"
"damn thing!"
"A dog that's not a human being!"
Zhu Qiyu hated this god of war who drifted in a donkey cart. He was the same as Zhu Qizhen and was worse than Zhu Qizhen.
Emperor Taizu was more awesome and only worshiped ten emperors.
All ten of them are outstanding Chinese people!
This shows that Emperor Taizu had a high vision.
"Your Majesty, please don't get angry. Since Jinyang City has been burned down for hundreds of years, you are only hurting yourself if you get angry. Why don't we rebuild Jinyang City?"
Hu Xi consoled him.
"Is there anyone guarding Song Taizong's mausoleum?" Zhu Qiyu became angry when he mentioned it.
"Your Majesty, after all, he is the former emperor, and he is also the emperor of the Han Dynasty, so he will naturally protect you." Wang Hong smiled bitterly.
This is a matter between emperors, how can they dare to comment on it?
"Bulldozed!"
"The emperor is worse than a dog!"
"Why keep it?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were serious: "A weak Song Dynasty and a weak Song Dynasty are qualified to bear the incense?"
"In the entire weak Song Dynasty, Song Taizu is the only outstanding person. The other emperors are just shit! Even worse than shit!"
The courtier slowly stood up and knelt on the ground.
Hu Xi smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, why bother with our ancestors? It's the Ming Dynasty now, so there is no need to dwell on the past affairs of the previous dynasty."
"The old lady is right."
"That's all, don't mention this piece of shit!"
"Your Majesty, please think carefully. You can find out the ancient place names of Zhao State and the disappeared place names."
"New Town has no history, so let's make it up for them."
Zhu Qiyu looked at Qi Julang: "Qi Julang, come here!"
The living man in the corner of Yangxin Hall crawled over: "Your Majesty."
"You are a historian, do you know how to make up history?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
The living man's name is Cheshu, who has served the emperor for eight years.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, how do you make up history? Compare it with the original history. You can tell at a glance. You can't burn the original history, right?"
"That's absolutely not possible!" Hu Hui said quickly.
The courtiers all stood up.
But we can't ruin history.
"Of course we can't destroy history, we can just create some history, such as Li Mu, who attacked the Huns from the north, right?"
"As long as the place name is changed, then Rehe will be the land of Han, because this is the hometown of the Spring and Autumn Period and the ancestral land of the Han people."
The emperor's intention is to put all the world into the pre-Qin Dynasty.
Replace the original history with stories from the pre-Qin period.
"Then, will my Han bloodline continue?" Qi Julang found it difficult to understand the emperor's thinking.
"Break it off!"
Zhu Qiyu wanted to slap him: "Old Taifu, you go and gather a group of officials and literati who are good at compiling history, and start compiling the history of Rehe in the next year."
"I want the history of Zhao State to appear in Rehe, but I cannot interrupt our Chinese civilization."
"I just need to tell future generations that Rehe is the hometown of the Han people, and the people living in Rehe are all descendants of the Han people."
Hu Bi didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Yingying knelt down and said, "Old minister, I obey the order."
Che Shu's face was full of confusion, why did you bother to do this?
Besides, if you revise the history of the Han Dynasty, you must also revise the history of the Huns, Turks, and even the Mongols, otherwise it will not be unified.
If it's wrong in one place, it's wrong everywhere.
It's all buggy.
"Are you stupid!"
Zhu Qiyu really wanted to slap him: "Do the Xiongnu, Turks, and Mongolia have history? Do they know how to compile history? Idiot! Have you ever seen any Hu people compile history?"
"The Hu people who wrote history have all been Sinicized!"
"You have read so many books in vain!"
"Don't you know this bit of common sense?"
"idiot!"
"roll roll roll!"
Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and turned to look at Hu Hui: "Old Master, I have worked so hard to find place names and revise history, for what purpose?"
"The purpose is to completely Chineseize this place."
"Only with history can people completely return to their hearts."
"Only the new immigrants can have roots."
Hu Xi knelt on the ground: "I understand your majesty's painstaking efforts, but your majesty has been too hasty."
"According to your plan, it will take at least three years to build the four palaces in Rehe."
"It will take ten years to repopulate the country with immigrants."
"It may take 30 years for people's hearts to completely stabilize."
"By then, no matter what their name is, they will all be Han Chinese."
Zhu Qiyu disagreed: "Old Taifu, the Han people's sense of belonging comes from all aspects, and words, city names, and people's names are the most important parts."
“You can’t just think about what’s ahead.”
"When I am gone, maybe Ming Dynasty will go downhill again."
"When the Ming Dynasty is no longer glorious."
"What about those people who look different from us, speak differently, and even have place names that are ancient names of other people? Will they start a rebellion?"
"The Ming Dynasty has such a vast territory. Once it rebels, it will fall apart."
"I don't dare to think about it."
"The territory that was conquered through painstaking efforts finally fell apart."
Zhu Qiyu thought further.
Because he saw it!
If all people have Chinese names and all speak Chinese, will there be a day of rebellion?
No, because they will completely identify with Chinese civilization.
Will obey the emperor.
Even if it is a rebellion, it will only be a rebellion. In the end, the Han will be the emperor, and there will be no other foreigners!
Hu Bing kowtowed and said, "Old minister, I have been taught this. It is because I am short-sighted. Compiling the history of the county and changing the name of the Han Dynasty are the top priorities. I will live up to your majesty's high expectations."
"Get up."
Zhu Qiyu added: "With a Han name and a history, the city will have a sense of belonging."
"The same is true for those naturalized Mongols."
"Only when they change their Chinese names, speak Chinese, and forget their language and history will they become our people."
"Being gentle, naturalized, and completely annexing the land of foreigners into the land of our Han people is a long process. I am not in a hurry, and neither are you."
"We, the monarchs and ministers, work together to achieve peace for all eternity."
The courtiers all knelt down and wished him long live.
"Have coal mines in various places started mining coal?"
“We must supply not only Gyeonggi, but the entire north.”
"It's best not to freeze to death this year."
"The Royal Trading Company has rushed out a batch of sweaters."
"I plan to send sweaters to the soldiers in the Battle of Tingyi first. They have made great contributions, so I will give them priority to keep them warm."
"We strive to give every soldier in the north a sweater before the Chinese New Year."
Zhu Qiyu failed to give each person a cotton-padded coat.
Then give me a sweater.
"Your Majesty treats the soldiers so kindly, the soldiers in the north will definitely burst into tears with gratitude!" Wang Hong flattered him.
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Those who sent soldiers from the north first before the year, and those who sent soldiers from the south after the year, I, as the emperor, must be fair."
"Get someone to get one."
"It's getting colder day by day, and I'm afraid the sweater won't be of much use anymore."
Hu Xi sighed: "Yes, it's cold and it's hard to endure."
"It doesn't matter. I have a sweater to keep me warm this year. It should be better than every year." Wang Hong said.
"Mr. Wang Ge, have you noticed that this year's late autumn is colder than last year's late autumn." Hu Hao has cold legs and is more sensitive than others.
Wang Hong and Wang Fu looked at each other without feeling anything.
"This old man's legs are so good." Hu Hui lowered his thighs with a wry smile.
Only then did Zhu Qiyu know that Hu Bi had old cold legs.
In an instant, I realized that the courtiers were all very old, and the winter in the capital was also difficult. What other clothes could keep me warm?
correct!
Down jacket!
In ancient times, there were no down jackets, nor were down jackets made from duck down or goose down to keep warm.
"Your Majesty was very worried before. The weather is indeed getting colder every year."
Hu Hui smiled bitterly and said: "You are very right to open up the south and relieve the pressure on the north."
"Thank you for the compliment from the old lady."
Zhu Qiyu stood up and said: "This winter will be difficult. The capital has a large population, huge food consumption, and public security is also a big problem."
"I plan to increase the manpower of the patrol battalion to maintain law and order in the capital."
The courtiers were stunned. The emperor wanted to expand the factory guards?
"Even immigrants have to wait until after the New Year."
If people are not moved away, the capital cannot afford such a large population, and something will happen sooner or later.
Just talking.
A young eunuch ran over quickly, opened the door without lifting the curtain, and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, urgent report from Jiangxi!"
"Come in!"
A eunuch opened the curtain, and a cool breeze poured into the Yangxin Hall.
Fortunately, the main hall is spacious and the cold air cannot reach Zhu Qiyu.
Feng Xiao took the memorial, put it under his arm and covered it before kneeling down and presenting it.
Opening the memorial, Zhu Qiyu flipped through it quickly.
"Jin Zhong is interested."
He handed it to Hu Xi.
After reading it, Hu Hui had a look of surprise on his face: "A total of 7000 million taels? Where does Jiangxi come from so much money?"
The money copied by the Hu family was far beyond the courtiers' expectations.
It's too much.
Immediately he beamed, thinking how to divide so much money!
Next year will be a year of relaxation.
"It's just the tip of the iceberg."
"If we continue to investigate, it's estimated to be hundreds of millions of taels."
A smile appeared on Zhu Qiyu's face: "That's a good thing, I'm worried about having no money."
"If you build the world, won't you get money?"
The courtiers shuddered.
The emperor showed this smile, wondering who was going to suffer.
"Your Majesty, Duke Cheng Guo will escort the silver and send it to the capital in batches. There will be no peace on the road." Wang Hong was worried.
"Just lure the snake out of its hole."
"Jin Zhong is assisted by Yang Xin, Zhu Yi, and Zhang Shan. If he can't handle this matter, he will return to Beijing to retire."
"And what about Ma Jin? With those bullshit gentry in Jiangxi, what kind of trouble can they stir up?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Jiangxi doesn't need to worry about the Central Committee."
"What should I take back to Jiangxi on the return trip?"
The courtier was stunned: "Your Majesty, you don't want to take the opportunity to immigrate, do you?"
"Wang Qing still knows my heart."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "The pressure in the capital is so great, why leave some waste in the capital? There is a shortage of people in the two provinces and Guangxi."
"Just move them all over to relieve the pressure on water transportation."
"It's snowing here, but we still have summer."
Those who can immigrate are the clan members.
After thinking briefly, Hu Xi immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, we must not allow the clan to fill the two lakes, let alone go to Guangdong and Guangxi."
"Why?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.
"Your Majesty, the two lakes have been important areas for food since ancient times. Due to constant rebellions in our dynasty, the two lakes were deserted."
"Now the two lakes have come back to life."
"If you wait ten years, the two lakes will become big granaries."
"Although those clans have been expelled, they still have the surname Zhu."
"If someone has evil intentions, it will be difficult to control them."
Hu Hui was worried that the north and the south would be divided.
Once the two lakes are occupied, with Guangdong and Guangxi as the basis and Jiangxi as the buffer, this will be the place of victory and the foundation for dominance.
"What if we ask him to change his surname?" Zhu Qiyu couldn't do it rashly.
"I'm afraid that's not possible, Your Majesty. After all, the blood of Emperor Taizu remains. If you force me to change my surname, I'm afraid it will shake up the clan and make the gain outweigh the loss." Hu Hui objected.
Wang Hong and others also echoed.
They all thought it was inappropriate.
"It would be a waste to go back with an empty ship."
The people of Gyeonggi cannot be moved easily.
He has committed no crime and has food and drink at home, so why should he go to the two lakes and suffer?
The civilian husbands are already on their way back to their hometowns one after another, and they cannot move.
We have to send troops to protect him when he returns home.
"Your Majesty, the sheep have become fatter after the snow fell, and it's time to slaughter them."
Wang Fu said with a smile: "The state has captured so many sheep, so why not take this opportunity to transport them to Jiangxi, reward or sell them, and make a fortune."
"Mr. Wang Ge, how much is a sheep worth? How much does it cost for a ship to sail back and forth? It's a total loss." Bai Gui retorted.
Wang Fu smiled and said: "Sheep on the grassland are not valuable in the capital, but they are valuable in the south."
"Not only can it be sold to Jiangxi, but it can also be sold to Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, and Guangdong and Guangxi!"
“There are two lakes on the way.”
"They are all short of sheep. They will definitely be sold at a high price."
When Bai Gui heard it, it made sense.
Who doesn’t like eating mutton?
"Well, if it's an empty ship, let's transport sheep."
Zhu Qiyu still wanted to transport people there: "Old Master, can't we just move the clan to Hubei?"
"I don't think it's possible!"
Hu Hui was very determined.
"There will still be some time before we can enter Beijing. Let's discuss it then."
After talking about a few more things, they left.
"Feng Xiao, are there any ducks and geese in the palace?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Back to your lord, these things are not raised in the palace. Why do you ask about these things?"
"I want to make a dress." Zhu Qiyu pretended.
Feng Xiao was confused. What kind of clothes could ducks and geese make?
"Your Majesty, many farmers in the capital raise ducks. Just send people out of the palace to buy them." Feng Xiao thought that the emperor would use thousands of them.
"Don't Shangshi Bureau use ducks?"
"Use it!"
"Go get the duck feathers and find some people who know how to raise ducks to enter the palace. I have something to ask."
Send Feng Xiao away.
Zhu Qiyu moved for a while and then began to deal with the memorial.
Snow has fallen in Siping City.
Had to stop work.
Start repatriating civilian husbands.
Folks have begun to collect autumn gifts.
But because many places were hit by disasters this year, Zhu Qiyu began to think about which places should reduce or reduce autumn taxes.
He has asked the Cabinet to do the counting.
I watched it for more than an hour.
When he stood up and stretched his muscles, he found Dong Cihou at the door and asked him to come in.
"Why don't you go to the side hall and wait?" Zhu Qiyu asked him to warm himself by the fire.
Dong Ci was soaked by the freezing rain.
Kneeling in front of the fire, he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this slave has just arrived. I heard the eunuch said that you were dealing with the memorial, so I didn't dare to disturb you."
"Find a square towel and wipe it with him."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Next time you go to the side hall to wait, don't freeze your body, and take care of yourself."
"My slave, thank you for your concern." Dong Ci choked with sobs.
"Get up and get closer to the brazier."
Zhu Qiyu sat on the chair and said, "You have done a great job by donating this sweater. You have done a very good job."
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."
Dong Ci got to the point: "Your Majesty, you asked your slaves to disclose the weaving method and secret recipe. Now this woolen mill is the most profitable business in the capital..."
"Don't talk in circles when talking about things." Zhu Qiyu scolded.
"You said that all factories that use slaves' secret recipes will have to pay patent fees."
Dong Ci knelt down and said, "But recently, several woolen mills are unwilling to pay the slaves' patent fees, saying that they have not used the slaves' patents."
"But my slave has seen their sweaters. They use the patent of the Royal Commercial House. There is no mistake!"
Is there a pirated version so soon?
Are you still piracy in front of the genuine ones?
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Who is it? Say your name!"
"Your Majesty, this is Prince Zheng."
No wonder Dong Ci did not go to the Ministry of Rites, but came to the palace to complain.
"King Zheng?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were dark: "Is he short of money?"
"Back to the Emperor, I don't know. I have been very busy recently. I have thousands of looms working day and night, just to complete the tasks assigned to me by the Emperor."
Dong Ci was miserable, but he understood the ways of the world.
"Get up, I'll let someone check."
Zhu Qiyu did not expect that the first person to pop up was Prince Zheng.
Where did he get the confidence?
"Slave, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Dong Ci asked again: "Your Majesty, if I improve the loom, can it be included in the new patent?"
"Of course. No matter what you improve, as long as you register it with the Patent Office, you will have your patent."
"No matter who infringes the rights, the Ministry of Rites will naturally hold them accountable."
"Of course, registering a patent also costs money. You should understand the process."
Zhu Qiyu didn't even expect it.
As soon as the Patent Office appeared, many businessmen around the world rushed to register patents in order to get royalties.
The patent office turned a profit quickly.
What followed was all kinds of troubles.
The Patent Office submits the petition directly to the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Punishment will naturally take care of it.
This is also the original intention of establishing the Patent Office.
"You have improved the loom again?" Zhu Qiyu didn't notice that Dong Ci was so talented in business?
Dong Ci smiled sheepishly and said, "It just improves efficiency. After all, the time you gave me is tight and the task is heavy. If I want to complete it, I have to find another way."
"Okay, Dong Ci, as long as you can complete the task, I will give you a good thing during the Chinese New Year!"
Just talking.
Feng Xiao recruited farmers from outside the palace to join the palace.
As soon as he opened the curtain, he saw Dong Ci in the hall with a smile on his face.
Dong Ci is very sensible and will give him a sweater of a new color so he can try it out.
There is a hundred words missing, and I will make up for a thousand words tomorrow!
