Qiming 1158

Chapter 730 The Emperor Xie Daming Canonized

After the decision to pay special expenses for the renovation of the Yellow River, Lin Jingchun was insane.

Mosquito meat is also meat, although Shuibing can not be the main source of financial supply, but because of the uninterrupted supply of cold drinks throughout the year, some people in Zhongdu have developed the habit of eating cold drinks in winter. It can provide a considerable amount of income to the Ministry of Finance.

Therefore, Lin Jingchun stared at Shuibing Division's accounts, and asked Shuibing Division to develop more and more competitive cold drinks into the market, open up the sales of cold drinks as soon as possible, and let the general public be familiar with cold drinks and know them.

All in all, you can earn as much as you can, and you are crazy!
In addition, because the current scope of making money from the Water Ice Division can only be limited to the Central Capital and Yanyun Central, so Lin Jingchun is not satisfied.

He intends to open the cold drink factory of Shuibing Division to other areas of the Ming Dynasty, such as Guanzhong, Shandong and Henan, double investment, expand production, expand the factory, and recruit more people to make ice by hand.

Looking at this situation, this guy is quite ready to monopolize the Daming cold drink market.

Of course, in the face of the relatively low price of private cold drinks, even the official welfare is well controlled in terms of cost, there are not so many twists and turns, compared to the Southern Song Dynasty, which is milk, honey and fruit. Specializing in high-end cold drinks, the cold drinks of the Ming Dynasty are of course far inferior.

At this level of cold drinks, Xin Qiji can only say that he has never eaten it, and he is not willing to eat it, because things like fruit honey are still considered high-end products in the Republic of China, and they cannot be eaten casually.

When I was in the army earlier, there was a direct supply of ice in the army.

In order to prevent the soldiers from training too hard in the hot season and suffering from heat stroke, Su Yonglin specially approved a batch of ice cubes to provide ice water to the military camp. At that time, Xin Qiji liked to drink ice water with the soldiers and bite the ice cubes. Crunchy in the mouth, very sensual.

Even now, he is very obsessed with this feeling. Sometimes when the weather is hot, he puts a glass of ice cubes on the table in front of him, and while he handles official business and writes articles, he grabs a few ice cubes and crunches at the same time. It feels very good. Cool.

Of course, he definitely didn't dislike the high-end cold drinks provided by the Southern Song Dynasty. Some of them were eaten for free. Of course, he was happy. Free prostitution is one of the important sources of human happiness.

After arriving in Lin'an, Xin Qiji, as the envoy of Shangguo, lived in a more high-end and luxurious post house than before. It is said that this was specially built by the Southern Song Dynasty to welcome the envoys of Shangguo in the Ming Dynasty. The materials used are of the same level as the palace. .

What the Southern Song officials said, Xin Qiji may not believe it, but I have to say that it is indeed extremely luxurious, and many things Xin Qiji have never seen in Su Yonglin's palace.

Speaking of which, after Su Yonglin inherited the palace built by Yan Liang, he had no idea of ​​building another palace. At most, he just repaired and renovated the palace he left behind, and then invested all the royal family construction funds into the expansion of the Central Capital and the maintenance of the outer city walls. aspect.

Su Yonglin said that within ten years, the current Central Capital will be expanded by two to three times, to absorb more population, and to build it into a political, military and economic center in the north. From this, the Central Plains in the south, Liaodong and Great Northwest in the north, and the north will be revitalized. economy.

After the completion of the Yellow River repair, he will build a large number of excellent highways, and use Zhongdu as a hub to connect the Central Plains with the Liaodong and Northwest grasslands, promote economic and cultural exchanges in the three aspects, and make the three aspects more and more integrated.

He said that this is called national identity, and this identity must be completed by the three parties that have been separated for a long time, so that the Ming Dynasty can be in long-term stability.

Then we must fully open up shipping channels here, so that Zhongdu can be directly connected to Lingnan and Nanyang across the sea, and even Liaodong can be connected to Lingnan, so that the exchanges between the two sides will become more frequent, and the gap between the north and the south will be shortened in terms of time and space.

And there are canals.

After the Yellow River is successfully repaired, it is necessary to dredge the canal, use the canal to further enhance the traffic connection between the east and the west of the Ming Dynasty, and connect Guanzhong with the north and south of the Yangtze River through the canal.

With so many means of transportation, in the pre-steam engine era, the internal connection and mutual recognition of a big country can be greatly enhanced, which is conducive to the realization and maintenance of the great unity.

After the crusade against the Southern Song Dynasty ended, Su Yonglin also stipulated the multi-king system of the Ming Dynasty.

Based on the current territory, for the time being, Zhongdu is the national capital, Kaifeng is Nanjing, Chang'an is Xijing, and Liaoyang is Tokyo.

These areas belong to the direct jurisdiction of Zhongshu Province and are under the direct jurisdiction of the central government.

Xin Qiji could see that Su Yonglin's eyes were full of longing for the future.

There is no himself in his eyes, only the whole of Daming. He is doing his best to make Daming a better country and make the people of Daming a better life.

He was looking for ways to develop the economy and people's livelihood. He put the phrase "build roads first if you want to get rich" on his lips, and asked the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Industry to write this sentence and hang it on the department's office hall.

The first thing that all officials in the ministry did when they entered the hall was to see this sentence, and then they knew that the main direction of the country's construction was to engage in transportation.

So in addition to the Yellow River project, some small road construction projects in many places are also developing at the same time.

These small road construction projects may be just the road between the village and the county seat, or even the road between two villages, but having a road and not having a road are two completely different things.

These small road projects do not require much money, and the local finances can fully afford them. The engineering technology is not complicated, and the construction period is short, and the local labor force is sufficient.

But in the past, no government would pay attention to such a thing, and they did not realize how much a road that allows business travelers to travel to a populated area.

Between entering and exiting, the economy of a place can be revitalized, and the resulting derivative businesses, such as food and accommodation, can also feed a large number of people, allow a large number of people to obtain additional income, and allow the ever-increasing population to survive. work and income needed.

Maybe it's not that they don't understand, but they never thought about making these people who face the loess and their backs to the sky a little bit better.

They are afraid that if these people have a good life, they will threaten their status, shake their privileges, and make them no longer so high above. their past sins.

In such an endless night, the first ray of light finally appeared.

The Ming Kingdom is on a completely different path.

Xin Qiji was very happy, he was bathing in the sun, even though his food was not so luxurious, his spirit was extremely satisfied.

Zhao Tan met with Xin Qiji on June [-]th, which was also the day when Xin Qiji officially represented the Ming emperor Su Yonglin and conferred Zhao Tan as the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Originally, according to the requirements of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Tan needed to "kneel and accept" the canonization, just like when Zhao Gou treated the canonization of the Jin Kingdom.

At that time, Shi Hao had no choice but to agree completely, but after Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo returned to Lin'an to take over power, they strongly protested against this insulting clause.

On the night that Xin Qiji came to Lin'an, they were visited by the two of them together, and then they protested and debated with Xin Qiji on the matter of Song Guoge and dignity.

At the end of the debate, Xin Qiji didn't want to be quick to talk to them, and he didn't want to have a dispute with them in such a boring place. It was not worth arguing about the innocuous matter of kneeling or not kneeling.

So after being silent for a while, he agreed.

Zhao Tan was also very happy for this, and commended Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo, believing that they protected the dignity of the Great Song Dynasty and the emperor.

So when the canonization edict was announced, Zhao Tan stepped down from the throne, stood in front of Xin Qiji, bent over and saluted, MMP in his heart, and shouted [Chen Xie Daming, His Majesty the Emperor].

Xin Qiji felt in private that Zhao Tan must be very painful when he shouted these words.

Judging from his expression, it can be said that he almost didn't wear a mask of pain.
