Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 453 Born to the Sun
Chen Yunfu was naturally the first to know about the fact that Hu Hongzhu's family had come to Nanjing. He disguised himself as a businessman and went directly to find him.

This can be regarded as the first time for Chen Yunfu's two generations to see his in-laws.

Chen Yunfu was embarrassed, and Hu Hongzhu's parents were also embarrassed.

In this era when three books and six rituals are required before getting married, my son misses his daughter, and it is considered very enlightened not to break his son's leg.

When Chen Yunfu came out of the inn, the brother and sister were still guarding the door and did not leave.

"father"

"walk home."

Chen Yunfu didn't say anything, he got into the car directly, and didn't speak until he was inside the car.

"Their family has returned to Guangzhou."

"Father." Chen Yaxi was about to be anxious at that time, but Chen Yunfu gave her a hard look.

"Whether you can't get married or what, the little girl's family doesn't know what it means to be reserved. When you graduate from school next year, I don't care where you fall in love."

Visible to the naked eye, Chen Yaxi immediately became happy.

Chen Yunfu shook his head vigorously after seeing this attitude.

Chen Jinghe's heart moved when he saw it, and he opened his mouth and said, "Father, the minister's marriage over there."

"I've already chosen for you."

"Why!" Chen Jinghe immediately looked anxiously: "Father, my sister's marriage can be decided by myself, why did she come to me and play it all?"

Before he could finish his words, Chen Jing and himself swallowed them down.

Because Chen Yunfu glanced at him.

With just this one glance, Chen Jinghe didn't dare to say anything.

Chen Yunfu did choose a wife for Chen Jinghe, and her family background can be called the top class in the Ming Dynasty.

The little girl of Li Qi, the former Prince Consort, in other words, the granddaughter of Li Shanchang, King Wenxiang of Wanling.

The seniority of the two families is equal, and their ages are just right.

At this time, because of Chen Yunfu, Li Shanchang was not exterminated by the nine clans, so it is also a coincidence.

"I've seen your father before. He's well-educated and generous. He's a good match."

After dinner in the evening, Chen Yunfu called Chen Jinghe into the study, and confessed: "In a few days, I will let your Uncle Yang choose a good day, and as soon as the process is gone, I will hire someone else's daughter."

Chen Jinghe lowered his head, and replied in a low-spirited way: "Yes, I listen to my father."

"Why, are you not happy?"

"My son is not convinced."

Chen Yunfu chuckled lightly: "Not convinced? Why not?"

"Why can my younger sister choose her own husband, but my son can only marry a woman he has never seen as his wife."

"You brothers and sisters are different." Chen Yunfu said: "Your sister only needs to be happy, but you have to be responsible."

"Choose a virtuous wife from IKEA to benefit your career. Unless you want to be the king of Chengle, then I don't care about you."

One sentence from King Chengle made Chen Jinghe calm down immediately.

"It's getting late, hurry up and go back to rest."

"Yes, my son and minister are retiring, and my father should also take care of his health."

Looking at the official documents piled up on the desk, Chen Jinghe bid farewell.

He really wanted to know when Chen Yunfu planned to let him handle the government affairs, but he didn't dare to ask the words several times.

Don't act like you're too much in love with power to attract people's taboo.

Chen Yunfu had indeed overlooked this point. In his heart, Chen Yunfu still regarded Chen Jinghe as a child.

Eighteen or nineteen years old, not what a child is.

It is correct to think so, but in the Ming Dynasty, he was only a time traveler, no matter how precocious the child was, there was no reason for the teenagers to rule the country at the center.

Gan Luo is a talent created by the background of the times.

Besides, the old state of Qin was only a little bigger, and the population of 200 million was not as many as a county-level city in later generations.

The complexity is far worse.

The current Ming Dynasty is far inferior to the later generations, but it is definitely far superior to the Ming Dynasty in the original time and space.

The most representative point of difference.

The gradual disappearance of the traditional landlord class.

Just like the memorial that Chen Yunfu is reviewing at the moment.

The memorial was sent by Tang Wen, the governor of Jiangxi Province, and described an important event that happened in Jiangxi recently.

run on.

More than a dozen former big landlords in Jiangxi are now chasing after the Jiangxi branch to ask for money.

What money do you want.

National debt money.

When the central government promoted the integration of the two volumes into one and reformed the tax system, there was a policy that the imperial court was willing to come forward to redeem the land in the hands of landlords in various provinces and distribute it to tenants and tenants, and temporarily owe land money on credit in the form of national debt.

After so many years, the imperial court has been repaying this land debt, but it has not yet been repaid.

Right now, a group of former landlords in Jiangxi are unwilling to wait, and they don’t want to lie at home and eat the interest of the court every year, and take their bonds to the bank to cash them out.

They want cash.

And the purpose of asking for cash is also very simple.

Do business.

Jiangxi's geographical location is still very good. It is adjacent to Guangdong in the south, Fujian and Zhejiang in the east, and Zhili in the north. In this environment, you let Jiangxi's former big landlords and now wealthy lords with strong wealth be honest It's also unrealistic.

Who doesn't want to earn more money.

Affected by Fujian and Guangdong provinces, rich men in Jiangxi are also planning to transform into capitalists.

So there was this run on practice.

"Jiangxi still owes 790 million taels of land money on credit, and the Jiangxi branch has only 120 million taels of silver deposits. The gap is very serious. If all cash is paid out, it may cause panic among the people. Once the people withdraw money without silver, it will lose the credibility of the court. .”

Chen Yunfu frowned while holding the memo, and the pen he raised did not come out with a reply.

Naturally, what he was worried about was not the shortfall of more than 3000 million taels. The treasury could take out this money at any time, and Xia Yuanji could just allocate it.

What Chen Yunfu is worried about is whether to set this precedent.

Once Jiangxi opens the door to pay in advance, other provinces are likely to follow suit.

There are also many big landlords in Zhejiang, Shandong, and Huguang.

Even if the imperial court has the money to pay, will the time be ripe for the nationwide promotion of industrial and commercial capital?
The hat of the pilot province on Guangdong's head has not been taken off yet.

Although he was struggling, Chen Yunfu was still in a good mood.

It is a good thing that traditional old landowners have begun to actively undergo a change of mind.

Transforming from the landlord class to the capitalist class is the only way for the development of the times.

The Jiangxi run incident shows from the side that the current social process of Daming is generally moving forward, rather than stagnating or regressing.

From this point of view, from the beginning of the first emperor's prefecture and county system to the present, the development history of 600 years has hardly changed, especially after the Tang Dynasty. It's even more unnecessary.

After thinking about it again and again, Chen Yunfu settled down.

"It is planned to pay [-]% in advance, and the remaining arrears will be paid successively within the next four years. I hope that the Chief Political Officer of Jiangxi will pay more attention and pay attention to the flow of money in the province."

Capital has sprouted, and it will always be born in the sun.

And the thriving branches and leaves in the new era will inevitably pierce the feudal cage of decay and darkness!
