Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1828, What's wrong with going out to play?
In the morning court in the capital, although Emperor Hongzhi went out to play, the morning court was still going to be opened, and Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing a prince's suit, was in charge of presiding over the morning court.

"Father is really, he ran out to play by himself, and let me be the supervisor of the country and handle the government affairs. It's too early for the court to open, and I haven't slept enough."

Zhu Houzhao was a little listless. From the very beginning, he didn't like people who deal with government affairs, and he had no interest in things like governing the country.

I fought all night last night and opened up several wastelands. Now I am very tired. I just want to have a good sleep. I don’t want to go to bed early.

But there is no way, the prince supervises the country, not only has to go to court in the morning, but also holds a small meeting in the Shangshu room later to discuss state affairs. Anyway, Emperor Hongzhi is now the shopkeeper and doesn't care about anything.

You, Zhu Hou, take care of yourself and do whatever you want.

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor was very reassuring about the prince. He never worried that the prince would rebel and take his position. The prince never seemed to have any intention of becoming emperor in advance.

This point is very rare in the past dynasties. The scene of father's kindness and son's filial piety is mainly attributed to the prince system established by Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang, which clearly stipulates the inheritance and continuation of the country in the form of a system.

The prince is the future emperor, and his status cannot be shaken at all. In the Ming Dynasty, once he became the prince, the throne could not be lost, because the ministers in the court were not only the ministers of the emperor, but also the ministers of the prince. The prince works.

Based on such trust and relationship, Emperor Hongzhi was completely at ease with Zhu Houzhao. You can do whatever you want, and you can play any tricks.

"His Royal Highness, the censor Shen Huai impeached the chief minister of the cabinet, Liu Jin, in vain as a minister, and encouraged the emperor to leave Beijing to play, which is not a mistake in the government."

The early court had just begun, and Yushi Shen Huai stood up again to impeach Liu Jin. He impeached Liu Jin almost every day, and this time he found a reason.

As Liu Jin was the chief minister of the cabinet, Emperor Hongzhi wanted to go out for a while. It stands to reason that he should oppose it and strictly prevent Emperor Hongzhi from going out.

The Son of Heaven is attached to the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the well-being of hundreds of millions of Li people. How can he be like a child's play, put it down when he says it, and go out to play when he says it.

This Liu Jin should know this. As an important minister, he did not die to remonstrate, but also supported Emperor Hongzhi to play around. This must be impeached.

"Okay, okay~"

Zhu Houzhao listened to Shen Huai talking a lot of nonsense, and waved his hand impatiently to signal him to go down.

What a big deal, isn't it just to go out and play.

The father has worked hard all his life, and he has never been out of the two northern Zhili. He is locked in this palace every day, and he is suffocated to death. If it is him, he has already gone out to play for countless times.

Now I just went out to play once when I was in good health and the country was safe and peaceful, so what's the point?
What's wrong with wanting to see the great mountains and rivers that I personally manage?

To be considered a good emperor is to be exhausted on the copybook?

Or is it that the one who listens to you pedantic civil servants is the sage in your heart?

It's still old Liu who understands things and understands the real truth.

Father has worked hard all his life, so what's the point of going out to play, not to mention, isn't everything going well in this court?

There is the prince Ben who is building the country, and people like Wang Shouren, Qi Zhong, Han Wen, and Yang Yiqing are handling the affairs of the court. What can happen?

"Anything else?"

"If not, go back."

Zhu Houzhao is too lazy to waste time with these people. If you have something to say, hurry up and get out of here.

If you do things, you have to tell Liu Jin, pay attention to efficiency, don't always procrastinate, and quarrel endlessly over trivial matters.

Emperor Hongzhi has already gone out, and there is no point in arguing now.

"Your Highness, Black Earth Province received a call yesterday. There was a local indigenous rebellion in Black Earth Province. Huo Ying and Liao Yuan, the generals guarding Black Earth Province, asked for instructions?"

Zhu Fu stood up and reported to Zhu Houzhao.

"Rebellion?"

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he became energetic immediately, and finally something decent happened.

"Tell Huo Ying and Liao Yuan that all those who participated in the rebellion will be killed without mercy, and all the nine clans will be demoted to slaves and sent to Houzhao City to build the city."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Houzhao immediately ordered.

"Yes!"

Zhu Fu hurriedly replied respectfully.

Daming treated the aborigines in Heitu Province pretty well, and didn't kill too much, and there are still people who rebelled, it seems that it is impossible not to kill a group of people.

On this point, we still have to learn from Liu Jin. When Liu Jin raided the Western Regions, Hezhong and other places, he used iron and blood methods. All the tribes in the entire Hezhong area were wiped out. This is how Daming's granary, meat In Canghe.

Since then, the majesty of the Ming Dynasty has been revealed, and all the tribes dare not feel rebellious. Even if they are appointed to manage, often only one senior official plus some official errands and servants can manage hundreds of thousands of people. Great tribe of people.

Because everyone knows that if you are obedient, you can live a good life, but if you are not obedient, you will face death.

"Your Highness."

One matter after another was brought up by the ministers, and they were discussed and dealt with on the spot.

In the entire huge empire, with a large population and a vast territory, there are always various things that need to be dealt with every day.

On the other side, above the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge.

Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin were taking a leisurely walk on the bridge, looking at the majestic Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge in front of them.

"A bridge flies from north to south, and the natural moat becomes a thoroughfare!"

"Sure enough, majestic and imposing!"

"The court's 4000 million taels of silver are not in vain!"

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge in front of him, and nodded in satisfaction.

This bridge is very majestic and magnificent. Looking at the vehicles and pedestrians coming and going on the bridge, you can hear the whistle of the train from time to time.

This made Emperor Hongzhi feel that the money was worth it!
"Your Majesty, with the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge, from now on, my Daming train can go directly from the capital to Songhu, and go west to Ganzhou, the southernmost part of Jiangxi. The railway can also go directly to Guangdong and Guangxi, and even connect Jiaozhi and Xianglin in the future.”

"Counting the Beijing-Liaoning Railway that has been completed, I can take the train from the Liaodong area in the north to the inevitable Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiaozhi and other places."

Liu Jin looked at the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge in front of him. Compared with the bridges built by later generations, this bridge is more majestic. Because the importance of the navigation of the Yangtze River has been fully considered, the bridge has been built higher and is [-] meters away from the river. It is more than one meter high, and the supporting pillars are like giants standing on the Yangtze River.

When you look at the whole bridge, it looks like it is erected in the sky, very majestic and majestic.

"Good, good~"

"More railways still need to be built, so that the travel between places in Ming Dynasty will be more convenient."

"With the railway, everything can be mobilized very quickly."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and the importance of the railway became more and more obvious.

Where there is a famine or something, as long as there is a railway, a few trains of grain will go there, no matter how big the famine is, it will disappear soon. In the past, it would take several trains of grain to go there, and I don’t know how many people will be dispatched , How long will it take, maybe after the food has passed, the day lily will be cold.

In addition to disaster relief, the mobilization of military forces is also particularly important.

Trains travel thousands of miles a day, as long as there are trains, troops can be mobilized quickly.

Once something happens in the capital, the emperor can mobilize garrisons from various places to Beijing in the shortest possible time. If there are rebellions, wars, etc. between various places, the imperial court can quickly mobilize troops from other places to suppress them.

In the future, as more and more railways are built and wider, Daming will become more and more stable.

"woooo~"

At this time, a large ship came on the river, and with the whistling sound of its whistle, it was possible to see a large number of people on the deck of the ship watching the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge in front of them.

"Hey~"

There were also many people on the bridge who had nothing to do, and immediately shouted excitedly at the people on the ship and waved their hands.

"Hey~"

Seeing it on the ship, he immediately shouted and waved.

"This ship is really big, much bigger than the ocean-going sailing ships I saw in Tianjin back then."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the large ship in front of him, and remembered the large sailing ship he saw in Tianjin Port.

"This is a large ship newly developed by Tianjin Shipyard. It relies on internal combustion engine screw power, so it does not need sails, and because the power is strong enough, the ship can be bigger and bigger sooner, and now it is built with steel plates. the ship."

"Thanks to the dredging of the Yangtze River by the imperial court, large ships can also go from Songhu at the mouth of the Yangtze River to Hanyang in Huguang. If they go to Poyang Lake and the Ganjiang River system, they can go all the way to Ganzhou. Water transport is very busy right now."

Liu Jin also said quickly, looking at the logo on the ship, he knew that it was a large ship produced by his own shipyard.

"Well, good, good!"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded in satisfaction. Water transportation is much cheaper than land transportation, and the transportation volume is also much larger. That is to say, there are railways now. If there were no railways before, it would not be possible to transport many goods at a time with four-wheeled carriages alone. .

"Your Majesty, the value of the Yangtze River Transport mainly depends on the water of the Yangtze River, and the stability of the river water also depends on the protection of the mountains and forests in the Yangtze River Basin. If the mountains and forests are damaged too seriously, a large amount of sediment will enter the Yangtze River, and to Sometimes the river channel is silted up, and the river water will not be stable enough."

"I think that my Ming Dynasty should prohibit the deforestation of the mountains and forests in the Yangtze River Basin, so as to protect the Yangtze River!"

Liu Jin looked at a group of finless porpoises jumping up suddenly on the river, and after thinking about it, he suggested it to Emperor Hongzhi.
