My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 97 Yuan Keli governs Tianjin
Eat when you should, drink when you should, and never punish yourself because of other people's mistakes.

This is Zhu Youxiao's most profound feeling these days.

In the courtyard of the old government office, Zhu Youxiao pulled out a roasted sweet potato from the fire. Opposite him, there was also a little boy about 1.3 meters tall who was pulling the fire.

"what!"

Suddenly, the boy screamed, but was burned by the flying sparks.

Holding the roasted sweet potatoes in a thick cloth, Zhu Youxiao looked up and said calmly.

"I told you, don't be anxious, be careful of getting burned. How about that? I guess I was right."

"Brother Huang."

Hearing this, the little boy pouted, looking unhappy.

"Why don't you ask Daban to help me get it out."

"Ha ha."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao chuckled and glanced at the nervous eunuch Wang Chengen next to him.

"You can't even take it out yourself. Why, you want Wang Chengen to feed it to your mouth?"

After patting the dust on his hands and washing them in the basin, Zhu Youxiao sat down on the chair brought by the eunuch.

Looking at the little boy who was setting up the fire again, Zhu Youxiao's eyes flickered.

This guy is the one who put forward the concept of "I am not the king of the subjugated country, but all the ministers are the ministers of the subjugated country". He is a classic case of liberal arts students governing the country, Boss Cao's philosophical brother when he was half asleep, a model worker of the subjugated country, and a typical example of a small family spirit. Representative, a deeply suspicious patient, Emperor Sizong of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian.

Of course, it is estimated that this kid will not be able to achieve the above achievements in this life.

Since the beginning of the good man Hongzhi, the survival rate of the princes and grandsons of the Ming Dynasty has been a figure that made Zhu Yuanzhang cry and Prince Jing of Zhongshan shook his head.

Hongzhi lived two lives and one died, Zhengde didn't live at all, Jiajing lived eight lives and died six, Longqing lived four and died two, Wanli was okay, eight lived and three died, Taichang lived seven and died five, and Chongzhen lived seven and died four.

As for Apocalypse, it's even worse.

Six sons and six daughters, none survived, zero survival rate.

Zhu Youjian is also a miserable man.

No matter how hard Zhu Youxiao was, his biological mother only died last year.

As for Zhu Youjian, he died when he was three years old.

Fortunately, Xigong Li Xuanshi, who was responsible for raising Zhu Youjian, was a decent person and did not raise this boy to death.

However, Zhu Youjian responded to the words in "Xunzi Duke Ai": Born in a deep palace and raised in a woman's hands, I have never known sorrow, no knowledge of excellence, no knowledge of labor, and no knowledge of fear. Never know the danger.

"How are you these days in Xu Qin Palace?"

While the sweet potatoes were about to cool down, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youjian and asked.

"Brother Emperor, everything is fine in Xu Qin Palace."

Because his mother died earlier, Zhu Youjian developed a somewhat inferior character and was a little afraid when speaking.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Childhood trauma takes a lifetime to heal.

I don’t know which educator said this in a previous life.

Zhu Youjian's later actions, whether he was suspicious or mean and unkind, were all inseparable from his early experiences.

"You don't have to be so reserved in front of me."

After waving his hand, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Youjian and said.

"You are nine years old now. It's time to find a teacher to enlighten you."

With a smile in his eyes, he looked at Zhu Youjian who was competing with the sweet potato that burned his hands.

This kid's impatience will probably be hard to change in his lifetime.

"I originally wanted Yuan Keli to be your teacher, but now he has to run Tianjin for me and cannot teach you in Beijing."

"Therefore, I want you to go to Tianjin and study with Yuan Keli."

"You, would you like to go?"

"My brother, I am willing."

Hearing that Zhu Youxiao wanted to leave Beijing and go to Tianjin, Zhu Youjian shrank his neck in fear.

But then he thought that he could leave the capital and go outside, and his eyes suddenly shone again.

"Ah."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.

"Let's set off tomorrow and let Wang Chengen take you to Tianjin."

Zhu Youxiao said, turning his head and looking east.

Be prepared for everything.On the one hand, you prevent yourself from falling into the water, and on the other hand, you prepare the way for yourself if you fall into the water in the future.

This kid is only nine years old and can still break it.

In today's Ming Dynasty, if something unexpected happens to him, there are only two people who can take care of his affairs.

One is Yuan Keli and the other is Sun Chuanting.

But after all, Sun Chuanting is too young and has not yet grown up.

Now only Yuan Keli can play this insurance role.

Let me follow Yuan Keli for a while to see the sufferings of the people and gain some understanding of the following.

If something unexpected happens to him, he will leave an imperial edict and let Yuan Keli take charge. Zhu Youjian will not be allowed to take charge if he is not 25 years old.

This way, even if something happens, you can get through it.

The direction the emperor was looking at was Tianjin, also known as Jingu and Jinmen.

In the second year of Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di crossed the canal and officially launched the Jingnan.

On November 21, the second year of Yongle, the place was officially named Tianjin, after the ferry where the emperor passed.

At first, Tianjin was a military important place, whose full name was Tianjin Wei. Later, Tianjin Left Guard and Tianjin Right Guard were added.

During the Yongle period, the three guards stationed in Tianjin brought a large number of military families, and the city of Tianjin began to take shape.

During the Wanli period, Japanese pirates invaded North Korea. In order to strengthen coastal defense, the Tianjin Coastal Defense Battalion and the Tianjin Coastal Waterproof Land Camp were added, with a total of [-] additional soldiers.

However, after wandering around Tianjin for two days, Yuan Keli sighed.

"Although Tianjin is called Wei, it has long existed in name only."

The development of Tianjin at this time is quite strange.

Outside the city, merchants crowded together, walking side by side.

In the city, the roof tiles are in ruins and half of them are covered with wormwood.

Regarding this phenomenon, Yuan Keli and Zhang Zhiji conducted a field investigation using a pragmatic spirit.

Then I discovered that a businessman, a businessman, is still a businessman.

If Tianjin does not abolish the Ministry of Health, these businessmen will soon take over the Ministry of Health.

What?What happened to the original guard soldiers?Let's go into business.

Tianjin's geographical location is so special. It is located at a strategic location, straitening the throat of water and land, and holding the hub of north and south. This is a natural place for business development.

According to what Yuan Keli learned these days, the existence of Changlu Salt Field gave birth to the development of salt merchants.

Because the Changlu Transportation Department set up an inspection office in Dazhigu, salt merchants bought land on the east bank of the Haihe River in Tianjin to build salt piles to prepare for inspection and shipment.

Tianjin's salt merchants have played an important role in the local urbanization process.

In addition, there are many grain merchants in Tianjin because Tianjin is a grain transshipment center.

The granary alone includes the Million Granary, the Dayun Granary, the Daying Granary, the Guangbei Granary, etc. The amount of grain that passes through here every year amounts to 600 to [-] million stones.

In addition, Tianjin was also a shipbuilding center in the Ming Dynasty, with many shipowners and craftsmen.

Jinmen Shipping operates a group of fifty ships, and each group has a number. According to incomplete statistics, there are 12 names including Xianzihao, Tianzihao, Dizihao, and Jiuzihao.

After conducting a five-day survey and statistics, Yuan Keli started lighting lamps and boiling oil in the temporarily opened magistrate's office.

Before leaving, the emperor once handed him a small notebook, which contained some of the emperor's ideas for the future development of Tianjin Mansion.

After the on-site investigation, Yuan Keli just wanted to sigh, the emperor is really far-sighted.

Although he doesn't quite understand some words, it doesn't stop Yuan Keli from guessing through descriptions.

Tianjin will develop into a centralized transportation and food processing city in the future.

Centralize transshipment, vigorously develop the shipbuilding industry, repair roads, and be responsible for communicating between Liaodong and the capital.

As for food processing, the fishing industry is encouraged to build a complete pickled seafood supply chain based on the advantage of being close to the sea.

In layman's terms, Tianjin must be able to provide enough pickled salted fish to the Beijing camp.

The emperor could not guarantee that the soldiers in the Beijing camp would eat red meat, but fish could still be guaranteed.

Based on some of the emperor's ideas and what he had seen and heard these days, Yuan Keli began to write a policy outline.

The first task must be to find out the situation of the Tianjin Wei Navy. In addition, he also has the power to dispatch the Denglai Navy.But this matter could not be done until Shen Yourong, whom he recommended, arrived.

However, before that, he could ask Zhang Zhiji to recruit some people and see if he could form a fleet and explore the way first.

At this time, Yuan Keli didn't know that the emperor had put a hot potato in his hand.
