I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 153 Plan for the future!is my reason?

After the construction of the new city was officially put on the agenda, Zhu Yunxu also led the new army on the road back to Beijing.

It was a quick march when we came, but it was much slower to return.

There is no urgent military situation, so naturally there is no need to march desperately.

During these days in Songjiang Mansion, the Jin Yiwei who had fallen behind before returned to the team one after another, and now they have returned.

Didn't do anything, ran for nothing.

In contrast, the imperial guards who followed the team showed off to them the miracles of war they had witnessed, which made people envious.

The people of Songjiang came out one after another to send off the new army.

Inside the luxurious and spacious carriage, Zhu Yunzhen lay on the thick cotton mattress, minimizing the bumps of the carriage.

Next to him, the little girl Xixi was hammering his legs.

The original dirty clothes have been replaced by beautiful Luo Shang, his face is washed clean, his hair is tied up, and he is wearing a headdress, and his smart eyes are as clear as a pool of autumn water.

People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles.

Xixi's attire changed and she turned into a pretty girl.

"Brother, they all say you are a god. But can't gods fly in the clouds and mist? Why do you want to ride in a carriage?"

Xixi asked in confusion.

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help laughing.

Although both of them are six or seven years old, his soul is that of an adult.

It is inevitable to think that children are naive.

But sometimes I feel that the world of children is better.

Innocent and carefree.

It's so tiring for adults to scheming and deceiving each other all day long.

Because of this, Zhu Yunxi brought the little girl Xixi along.

It's nice to have someone to keep you company and feel a little childish.

Hearing her question at this time, he couldn't help but feel dumbfounded, and he became playful again, so he said: "This is the mortal world, not the fairy world. You can't just use magic to fly in the clouds and mist, it will violate the laws of heaven."

"Oh, so it is like this!" Xixi suddenly realized, and asked again: "Is that because other spells can't be used?"

Zhu Yunxuan blinked and said, "Of course. Unless it's absolutely necessary!"

"I understand!" Xixi nodded seriously.

Seeing her like this, Zhu Yunzhen couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Children are still easy to deceive, and they believe whatever they say.

But then, an idea flashed through his mind.

If you try to deceive an adult with your various miraculous performances, the other party may not believe it.

To a certain extent, time travelers can be called "gods".

At least in terms of understanding the future.

This is a point that can be used.

When necessary, using this point, some goals may be easily achieved.

Zhu Yunxi secretly planned in his heart.

He seemed to be on the road of being a magic stick, going further and further away.

But what choice did he have?
Although he is the crown prince, he is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

However, in promoting the social transformation of the Ming Dynasty, breaking through the feudal ritual system that has fettered people for countless years, and entering a new era, the resistance encountered is unimaginable.

Even though he is the crown prince, he still feels that he is surrounded by enemies and is struggling.

Any thinking and understanding that is too advanced and beyond the times is destined to be denounced as heresy and heresy.

It often takes decades, even hundreds or even longer, before they can be gradually recognized and accepted by latecomers.

The development of history has its own inevitability.

How easy is it to forcefully push the wheel of history forward across the ages?
Not to mention it was in Daming, when the feudal ritual system seriously imprisoned people's thinking.

Even in later generations, in that era of highly developed technological civilization and more open-minded thinking, any independent and unique ideas will also be rejected by most people.

The thoughts of later generations also come in waves. Whichever way the wind blows, people chase them.

Ideas that transcend the times will also not be accepted by society.

But for Ming Dynasty to develop rapidly, people must experience a violent ideological turmoil.

Historically, during the Western Renaissance, a religious reform was carried out that lasted for hundreds of years, and also laid the ideological foundation for the subsequent Industrial Revolution.

If he now wants to overthrow the "god" of the feudal etiquette system, the best and fastest way is to establish a new god.

The best candidate for the New God is undoubtedly himself.

"I didn't expect that one day, I would become the villain I despised most in the past." Zhu Yunxuan silently laughed at himself in his heart.

For the sake of Ming Dynasty, we can only sacrifice ourselves.

Reluctantly become a "god".

……

Two days later, the new army arrived at the city of Suzhou.

Liu Hanmo, the prefect of Suzhou, had already led a group of officials to greet him at the city gate.

After some etiquette, Zhu Yunxi ordered the new army to enter the city.

I have heard for a long time that Suzhou is prosperous, and it is not like the capital city. Each district is separated and heavily guarded, and it has a unique charm.

He also wanted to see it.

What would Suzhou in the Ming Dynasty look like?

But when he opened the curtains and looked outside, he found that there were not many people on both sides to greet the new army.

The streets are depressed and not as prosperous as the rumors say.

Many people's faces were full of sorrow.

Zhu Yunxi was secretly puzzled, and when he arrived at the magistrate's yamen, he asked Liu Hanmo: "Everyone in the world says, "There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below." Suzhou and Hangzhou have been prosperous since ancient times."

"But looking at it today, the streets of Suzhou are quite depressed, not as prosperous as the rumors say, and this place is not as good as Songjiang Mansion. It has just experienced war, why is it so?"

Liu Hanmo cupped his hands and sighed.

"The prosperity of Suzhou is a thing of the past. Suzhou today is no longer what it used to be."

Zhu Yunzhen was greatly puzzled and asked: "What happened? Please explain it to me in detail."

After he took charge of the country, he looked at the taxes paid by various places. Suzhou was still the main tax center of the Ming Dynasty, and it was not an exaggeration to call it the economic pillar.

If Suzhou becomes like this, the financial crisis of the Ming Dynasty will further deepen.

Liu Hanmo hesitated, hesitant to speak.

It wasn't until Zhu Yunzhen urged him repeatedly that he finally made up his mind to speak.

"The taxes in this dynasty are highest in Suzhou, followed by Songjiang Prefecture, Jiaxing Prefecture, Huzhou, Changzhou, and Hangzhou."

"In comparison, the taxation elsewhere is much lighter."

"I wonder if His Royal Highness Taisun knows about this?"

He had long heard that his grandson was extremely talented, extremely intelligent, and his poems and articles were astonishing to the world. Now he led troops to put down the Japanese pirate rebellion in Songjiang. His legend was even better than that of heaven and man.

But when I actually met my grandson, I was shocked by his young age and worried whether he was really as mature as an adult.

Zhu Yunxi nodded and frowned slightly.

He has heard about this for a long time.

According to folk rumors, because Suzhou, Songjiang, Jiaxing, Huzhou and other places were originally Zhang Shicheng's territory, he competed with Zhu Yuanzhang for the world, but was defeated by Lao Zhu.

Zhu Yuanzhang held a grudge and imposed heavy taxes on the people under Zhang Shicheng's rule.

This story has been spread with nose and eyes, and many folks believe it.

But of course it's fake.

How could Lao Zhu be so petty?
What's more, such a big event, as a man of old Zhu, would never be mixed with such childish and ridiculous personal emotions.

The real reasons are very complex.

The most important point is that the wealthy businessmen and large landowners of the Ming Dynasty were mainly concentrated in Suzhou, Jiaxing, Songjiang, and Huzhou.

The Ming Dynasty adopted a heavy tax policy in these places in order to combat and control the wealthy households and landlord class in Jiangnan, thereby stabilizing its rule.

Of course, there are many other reasons and considerations.

Liu Hanmo said: "Despite this, Suzhou City was still quite prosperous before."

"The reason why everything is in such a sluggish state is related to His Highness the Grand Sun."

Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment.

Suzhou city became depressed, is it because of me?
……

　I was delayed today, so I'm not sure if I can still code Chapter 3.

　　If not, I will make up for it tomorrow.
