Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 540 Returning to the old place, you are not allowed to enter the city!
Tie Xuan was shocked by the scenery along the way in Fujian!
Originally, he thought that the influx of more than one million people into Min County in just a few days was shocking enough.

It is enough to prove that King Zhu Di of Yan is unparalleled in Fujian, and even completely exceeds the influence of His Majesty today.

But when the train leaves the scope of Min County.

What was even more shocking was the shock to his soul.

Min County covers a radius of hundreds of miles.

Along the railway line, you can look around as you walk.

There are simple tents everywhere.

Dense and chaotic oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages...

Burning bonfires illuminate the entire railway line brightly at night.

as the train passes by.

There were countless dense crowds, bringing the old and supporting the young.

Common people, scholars, and local magnates from Fujian stood up one after another and stood on both sides of the railway line.

Hold your fists and bow.

Chant!

"Welcome the prince and princess to return to Fujian!"

"The prince and the princess are thousands of years old!"

……

As the train moved forward, the roar of the steam engine was suppressed by such shouts almost every moment.

Tie Xuan was shocked and also very worried.

So many people crowded along the railway line.

Even if there is a locomotive opening the road ahead, monitor it.

That also means the supervision is not perfect.

What if someone with evil intentions gets involved in the crowd and installs explosives on the railway after the locomotive passes by?
You know, Fujian’s terrain is mountainous.

Ahead, you have to pass through several tunnels in succession.

If something went wrong while the train was passing through the tunnel, it wouldn't matter if he was buried with him.

The war and turmoil caused by it made him determined to die and never redeem himself.

He is the sinner in the history of the Central Plains!

With this feeling in mind, Tie Xuan ordered the train to stop when it came to a place where there were no villages around, it was a secluded wilderness, and there were no people.

Send people to the front to discourage people along the route from evacuating.

At the same time, seek contact with the locomotive leading the way.

Zhu Di did not stop him.

He did not inform the court, but he killed first and then reported to the inland via Fujian. He had already left an excuse for criticism.

As a guest, you cannot instruct the host.

What's more, Tie Xuan's move was also for his safety.

Therefore, even if you are in a hurry to rush to Jinling, you can only restrain your impatience.

The moon is full and empty.

The entire land was illuminated by the moonlight.

Even though it’s the end of the year.

But where Fujian is located, there isn’t much of a winter atmosphere.

Zhu Di and Zhang Sanfeng were walking under the moonlight not far from the railway line.

Looking at the hazy and dense mountain forests on the hillside in the distance, it was not difficult for Zhu Di to guess that the trees in the mountain forests must be artificially planted economic trees.

Fruit trees, apricot trees and the like.

The development of rural areas in Fujian can be said to be the most similar to that of Yanhua in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps the improvement and popularization of water conservancy construction cannot keep up with that of Yanhua.

But today during the day, what I saw along the way was that it was also very developed and complete.

Permanent water channels made of cement masonry and water-powered waterwheels erected along the river can be seen everywhere.

Some sloping lands and mountainous lands unsuitable for growing crops have also been reclaimed and planted with various cash crops.

Zhang Sanfeng suddenly heard that Zhu Di was silent and followed Zhu Di's gaze.

He smiled and said: "This economic forest, the old Taoist happened to be here before. It belongs to a local gentry..."

After a slight pause, Zhang Sanfeng seemed to hesitate, but in the end he couldn't help but ask: "The old Taoist knows that in Yanhua, there are no big gentry landlords like ours who own thousands or even ten thousand hectares of land, so Yanhua's rural villages The society can benefit all farmers under Yanhua’s rule.”

"But when the prince was promoting the rural communities in the Central Plains, he seemed to have forgotten that the tenants who were bound by a piece of paper indenture and were subordinate to the gentry and landlords did not have any land to rely on. Even their houses and the land used for their graves belonged to the gentry and landlords. In fact, they were the most miserable."

“After Yanhua’s advanced agricultural machinery poured into the Central Plains, in order to earn more profits, the gentry landlords began to invest in a large number of animal-powered agricultural machinery. At the same time, they ruthlessly abandoned the excess labor force. The conscientious gentry landlords just drove the people out. Their land was released to them, allowing them to make a living on their own, but many unscrupulous gentry landlords resold their tenant farmers' deeds to factory owners at high prices."

"These tenant farmers have been enslaved for generations, but in the end, when they have no value, the gentry and landlords want to squeeze out every last bit of value from them. This is against the laws of heaven!"

Zhu Di suddenly turned around, and before Zhang Sanfeng moved his lips and wanted to continue, he smiled and asked: "When Zhang Sanfeng was not detached from the world, it was said that he was also a powerful gentry..."

"I also heard that when my father founded the Ming Dynasty, he once recruited Zhenren Zhang, but he refused. Everyone said that Zhenren Zhang is the leader. These old people and young people who came from the Yuan Dynasty are dissatisfied with the restrictions imposed on you by my father. "

……

This kind of statement exists in this world.

More to come.

Especially those stinking literati who discredited the father's period.

Zhang Sanfeng was not solicited, and was repeatedly used as an example by these sour people.

Without him.

Zhang Sanfeng's influence among ordinary people is large enough.

The people are simple and short-sighted.

Public opinion propaganda.

It is similar to establishing a person like Zhang Sanfeng and saying some sour words, which is the 'magical power' that those sour literati like to use most.

The results are often quite good.

For example, if a certain wealthy person with great influence does not come back, he will be threatened by Yunyun.

From his current height, looking at these remarks, they are really ridiculous.

Zhang Sanfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled, shook his head and said, "It's just the conspiracy of a small group of young people who claim to be smart. Old Taoist, Your Majesty has never taken these remarks to heart."

"The world is settled. The old Taoist is transcendent and does not want to be contaminated by the secular world..."

"Moreover, the old Taoist who came from the late Yuan Dynasty knows very well that people from outside the country like us do not have any experience in governing the world. If a person is arrogant in a field that he is not good at and speaks nonsense, it will only harm the country and the people. And we, the Central Plains, have been doing this since ancient times. Since then, there has been a separation of politics and religion. People outside the world pursue things outside the world, and people in the secular world pursue worldly things. Just right, just right. The secular people are guided by the political power and their spirits are placed in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. This is the yin and yang of Tai Chi. , opposing each other, yet unified with each other.”

If it weren't for this prince, he really admired him.

If not, he was worried that something might happen to the prince on his way back to the court, so he wanted to use his reputation to escort him to Jinling safely.

This time, he will not get involved in the world of mortals.

Zhu Di also admired the words of Master Zhang very much, especially the mutual opposition and unity in the final summary.

He nodded and said: "The tenant farmers who belong to the gentry and landlords are indeed a group of people who were selectively forgotten during the period of change in the imperial court."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

"If the gentry had been forced, this change would have been impossible to carry out. I also hate the gentry group. But eradicating this group would take a long time and cause such great turmoil. Moreover, the damage to culture would be immeasurable. , No matter how decadent this group is, they have to admit that they control knowledge and they are responsible for the inheritance of culture. "

This group has created many rotten things.

But this group has also been passing on those good essences.

Even if this group only talks about what they mean and is high-sounding, inheritance is inheritance.

"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the gentry clan was almost eradicated. We have experienced a cultural gap. The gentry group that emerged has, in my opinion, less personal requirements and personal morals than the previous clan clan clans."

There is no doubt about this. Overall quality.

The gentry group cannot keep up with the former gentry clan even if they are flattering.

……

After Zhu Di briefly explained why this area was not moved in the first place, he immediately changed the subject.

He is very clear.

This real person mentioned this issue.

Not asking him why.

With his detached Taoism, how could he not know the reason for the compromise between him and his father on this issue.

This real person should want to know more about how to solve this problem.

"As advanced agricultural machinery was put into use, a large number of tenant farmers who belonged to the gentry and landlords were ruthlessly driven out. If industry develops at this time, industry can absorb them. Moreover, industrialization also requires a large number of professional industrial workers."

“The factories run by rural communities are various types of light industrial factories that rely on farmland output. At first, they were small handicraft workshops. Eventually, with the accumulation of technology and capital, they were upgraded to small factories with advanced equipment. When rural communities compete, "After regional alliances begin to appear, these advanced small factories will continue to be upgraded to medium, large, and super large factories."

"In the future, dozens, hundreds, or even hundreds of rural villages will merge and join forces, land resources will be integrated, and resource utilization will be more efficient. At that time, rural village society will appear, with super-large factories with tens of thousands of people..."

Zhang Sanfeng was stunned when he heard this.

Is this still a rural area?
He could not imagine how much influence farmers would have in such a rural area.

"And there will be some technical factories and heavy industries in the city. These industries require a large number of people. Originally, if the imperial court could implement the employee share system earlier, it would be able to absorb and accommodate the people who were driven out by the gentry and landlords. Training and training of junior industrial workers will pave the way for urban industry in the future.”

Unfortunately, the imperial court has always been hesitant and constrained in this regard.

This resulted in a situation where millions of landless people poured into the city and found it difficult to survive, squeezing out the livelihood of the people in the city.

The eldest brother originally promised him a population of three million.

In fact, the eldest brother also knows it very well.

He couldn't solve this problem in a short period of time.

After weighing the pros and cons, I finally chose to throw the burden to him.

"You don't have to worry, real people. In the future, these problems will always be solved slowly..."

rustling...

Zhu Di's words were interrupted by the sound of footsteps coming from behind.

The two turned around.

Then he saw Tie Xuan, leading a few soldiers, walking over in a hurry.

"Your Majesty." Tie Xuan saluted with clasped fists, "It's time to leave. Your worries are unnecessary..."

He was worried that there were ordinary people along the way, so Xiaoxiao mixed in and planted explosives on the railway line.

After investigation, it was completely redundant.

The powerful people, scholars, and people in Fujian have long expected this.

During his investigation, he learned that all the people along the way were checking the railway line inch by inch.

There are a few suspicious people with evil intentions.

They were all discovered by the common people and sent to nearby counties by powerful men and scholars.

"It seems that when I am in Fujian, it is equivalent to having a golden bell." Zhu Di joked and patted Tie Xuan on the shoulder, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you. Fujian officials, if not for your perseverance If I continue to implement these two ideas and propositions, the people of Fujian will not be so grateful to me."

when he left.

At most, it just builds a framework for Fujian.

Later details were filled in and developed.

It was all done by Tie Xuan and successive Fujian officials.

His thanks were not casual remarks.

"Since there are no safety risks, let's set off as soon as possible."

After saying that, Zhu Di took the lead and walked towards the carriage.

Tie Xuan stared at Zhu Di's back.

To be honest, the people's voluntary investigation of railway hidden dangers had a huge impact on him!
This just proves once again how terrifying this prince’s influence is in Fujian!
……

blah blah blah...

Exercise overnight.

The next day.

The train enters Jian'an Station and replenishes water and coal.

After driving for a day and a night, we arrived at Jian'an and set off again. Within an hour or two, we would be able to drive out of Fujian.

Outside the station.

The people cheered one after another.

Zhu Di stood on the station platform that was under martial law.

He had no intention of leaving the station.

Although, although I really want to see the changes in Jian'an County that I once served as county magistrate and governed over the years.

But time doesn't allow.

I hope that when I go to Jinling, I won't have any conflicts with my eldest brother.

On the way back, I asked for instructions and got permission to go overland via Fujian and come to Jian'an to have a look.

Tie Xuan accompanied him and stood beside Zhu Di.

Looking at Zhu Di, he looked towards the sky outside the station.

Know what Zhu Di is thinking.

They laid the foundation and built the county government by themselves. Now, after more than ten years, I come back and can't visit it.

I'm afraid it would be uncomfortable for anyone.

Tie Xuan pointed to the north, where smoke was rising, "Your Majesty, that's the Jian'an Industrial Zone. In the 32nd year of Hongwu, after we introduced steam engine technology, we rebuilt the industrial zone with the help of Yanhua engineers. Now the industrial zone is Fifty percent of the production lines have been steamed.”

……

"There are five industrial zones in Fujian, and three of them are the most developed. One is Jian'an where Wang Ye was in charge, one is Min County where Xu Xiaogong was in charge, and the other is Fuzhou."

……

"We are also mobilizing the whole of Fujian to build these two industrial zones, plus the Fuzhou Industrial Zone, to realize the Fujian construction strategy proposed by the Yanhua Chamber of Commerce, with Jian'an and Min counties as the two wings, and Fuzhou as the center , one center, two wings flying together!”

"In the end, the economic structure of Jian'an radiating to surrounding provinces and Fujian County radiating overseas is realized. We estimate that as long as we can complete the economic construction strategy proposed by the Yanhua Chamber of Commerce for us, Fujian can still maintain the largest tax payment for at least 20 years. Provincial location!”

Zhu Di had a smile on his face.

this economic strategy.

On the surface, it was proposed by the Yanhua Chamber of Commerce and the Fujian Chamber of Commerce.

But in fact, it was specially designed for Fujian by the Yanhua Economic Research Department.

Support Fujian through the semi-official form of the Chamber of Commerce.

Zhu Di reminded: "As an official, it is understandable that you pursue the honor of being the largest province in paying taxes, but you must also remember that you should not focus on pursuing this honor. The amount of taxes you provide to the court is indeed yours. Responsibility, but don’t forget that you are also parents and officials, and you have the obligation to make the people’s lives increase with the increase in taxes paid.”

"Your Majesty's teachings, I will keep them in mind." Tie Xuan clasped his fists sincerely.

At this moment, Tie Xuan was also worried.

He couldn't be sure.

What will happen after leaving Fujian and entering Jiangsu and Zhejiang?

Although, he had already asked the locomotive leading the way to spread the news that he and Zhang Sanfeng were traveling with him.
