People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 496: Building a new capital city, Chang Mao disappears

Chang Mao's matter was regarded as the top secret by Lao Zhu.

Even if it is Zhu Biao, Jin Yiwei will not copy a piece of information to him.

Zhu Biao only found out about this at this time. He was shocked at first, and then angry.

"Chang Mao is so damn...

Use the power in your hands to openly harm people!

He was also beaten to death by the Zhang family's younger brother. If he was not beaten to death, I will beat him to death when he comes back to this palace..."

Zhu Biao was really angry. He also knew that Chang Mao was a waste.

Because of Chang Yuchun, even Zhu Yuanzhang could not easily touch him. He sent him to Chang Yuchun with the intention of pushing away the trouble.

But who would have thought that he is nothing more than a good-for-nothing and can still get into trouble.

Either the personal use of military power or the assassination of court officials would be a serious crime at the level of rebellion.

In short, even if Zhang Yi hadn't beaten him to death, he would definitely have died if he was captured.

It doesn't matter if his father is Chang Yuchun.

Zhu Biao shouted that the fight was good...

However, halfway through speaking, he seemed to have understood what the emperor had told him.

This matter became very difficult with the way Zhu Yuanzhang handled it.

Because Chang Mao died, Lao Zhu kept it secret and hid it for Zhang Yi.

If Chang Mao had not died in Zhang Yi's hands, but was captured by Lao Zhu, this matter would have been easy to handle.

But Zhang Yi killed Chang Mao, and this matter became difficult to handle.

No matter how incompetent Chang Mao was, he was still his brother-in-law, Chang's younger brother, and Chang Yuchun's son.

If this matter is exposed, it will cause turmoil in the court and disunity between the monarch and his ministers.

Especially when Chang Yuchun was about to go on an expedition, if he knew about this, something unexpected would inevitably happen.

Only then did Zhu Biao realize how much trouble Chang Mao had left for them.

"Don't worry, I've handled this matter very cleanly. I'm telling you to prepare you mentally!
Zhang Yi and I also relied on this incident to establish a sense of trust!
Otherwise, you think he would accept me so quickly after knowing that I am the emperor!

Trust is trust, and handle is handle!

Your brother knows it, and so do I!

I am telling you today because I want to hand over this handle to you...

You will also be the emperor in the future. If you use this as a handle, you will treat your Zhang family brother in the future..."

Zhu Biao was silent. What Lao Zhu didn't say was very realistic. No matter how much the emperor liked Zhang Yi, he was still an outsider.

As a king, no matter how useful and reliable Zhang Yi is.

They always have to understand each other's weaknesses and means of restraint.

Zhu Yuanzhang protected Zhang Yi, but also left a handle that could control him at any time.

"No one must know about Zhang Yi!"

"Father, the sons obey!"

Zhu Biao spent a lot of energy to digest the shock Zhang Yi brought to him. At the same time, he said:
"Then Chang Mao..."

“We don’t know where Chang Mao is going!
When the people who should care take care, they will naturally find you!
He couldn't find it, it was also a vast sea, and he had an accident!
This beast, his death would actually be a good thing for the Chang family! "

Zhu Yuanzhang did not hide his dislike for Chang Mao at all, and the same was true for Zhu Biao.

Since he is dead, let him disperse with the wind, whether it is Chang Yuchun or anyone else...

If they can't find Chang Mao, they will naturally accept the reality!

Lao Zhu confirmed with the ship boss and the others that Chang Mao himself knew that what he was doing was treasonous!
He boarded the ship by himself, and not many people knew about it!

The ship was sunk to the bottom of the sea by Zhu Yuanzhang, and the truth disappeared in the sea breeze.

"I understand, no one will know..."

Zhu Biao took the matter seriously and assured Zhu Yuanzhang.

……

When Zhang Yi got up on the second day, he received a notice from the emperor entering the palace.

He looked at the sky and sighed that it would be better to be a Taoist priest.

You must know that if he becomes an official, he will probably go out and wait outside the palace gate in the middle of the night. Being an official under Boss Zhu in this era is even worse than 996.

Arriving at the palace, Zhang Yi honestly handed over to Lao Zhu the working methods for the rectification of monks and Taoism.

""Several Suggestions on the Rectification of Sangha"..."

The book in Lao Zhu's hand can be regarded as the first memorial written by Zhang Yijiao.

Zhang Yi's writing style looks very strange.

Compared with others who use Wenjue characters, Zhang Yi's own writing style is vernacular. It's not that he can't write other things, but that's how his thinking is.

Lao Zhu himself prefers this pragmatic and thoughtful style.

Because he likes it too.

Zhang Yi's memorial is really full of nonsense and goes straight to the point. It mainly explains how to rectify and make use of idle people in the society of Buddhism and Taoism.

Let the monks and Taoists go into production while taking care of their emotions.

Zhang Yi first affirmed one of the basic functions of monks and Taoists, which is to stabilize people's hearts.

There is a lot of suffering in life, and when there is suffering, it needs to be resolved!
Praying to God and worshiping Buddha may not be a unique psychological treatment method in this era. Lao Zhu was a monk, so he agreed with this matter.

Buddhism and Taoism have been able to exist in the world for so long, so they naturally have their place in the division of labor in society.

But in the eyes of Lao Zhu and Zhang Yi, their virtues are not worthy of their place.

In short, the monks who did not engage in production aroused the emperor's dissatisfaction after occupying more resources.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Buddhism and Taoism should be like this. After all, he didn't make any contribution when he was a monk?
But Zhang Yi put forward the concept of human Taoism, making Taoism closer to reality, and added it to production.

Lao Zhu felt that he was still too superficial before.

Exploitation still depends on Zhang Yi.

That's why Zhu Yuanzhang came up with the idea of ​​letting Zhang Yi control the world's religion.

Now Zhang Yi's reforms are in line with his ideas.

Paying taxes first made Longhushan bear the curse of many fellow disciples, but Zhang Yi insisted on this.

From the clan to the monks, it is crucial to cultivate the concept of paying taxes in accordance with the law.

As for the question of how to use other people, just copy Longhushan’s homework...

In the land of China, if we talk about talents, Buddhism actually has many more talents than Taoism.

Just as Song Lian said when he evaluated Zhang Yuchu, there were many famous monks in the early Ming Dynasty, but only Zhang Yuchu could be called a famous monk at that time.

This kind of statement was made by Song Lian from the perspective of a Confucian, so it is naturally biased, but it also proves the talent gap between Taoism and Buddhism.

Since there are so many talents, how can we not join production?
Although Buddhism does not have the tradition of Taoism that likes to study various explosives and poisons, there are many people who are interested in natural science.

Preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts!

Let them promote simplified Chinese characters. It should be fine, right?

Lao Zhu was naturally satisfied with Zhang Yi's proposal. There were many famous mountain monks, monks and Taoists in the world, and their distribution was actually no less than that of the imperial yamen.

These people are at the grassroots level, let them promote simplified Chinese characters, and it will be easy for them to do it.

In order to prevent some people from being passive and sabotaging their work, Zhang Yi simply provided a so-called assessment standard and elimination mechanism.

In short, if you don't work hard, you will be forced to return to secular life and you will be given an ultimatum...

Lao Zhu silently put down the memorial. He could already imagine that as soon as Zhang Yi came out with this suggestion, he would become the public enemy of the world's monks.

However, Zhang Yi, who was hostile to others, was Zhang Yi who Lao Zhu felt at ease with.Zhang Yi also understood this, so he did things without any scruples.

Zhu Yuanzhang fully recognized his knowledge and interests.

"I announced yesterday that I will move the capital!

Beiping Mansion, I will change its name to Shuntian Mansion from today, and I will rebuild the imperial palace, and even the entire Beiping Mansion!

What is your opinion? "

Zhang Yi heard this and silently drew a picture for Lao Zhu:

"This is the layout of the capital after the fourth child took over the world..."

Zhu Yuanzhang: ...

Every time he heard Zhang Yi talk about Zhu Di's troubles, he always had a strange feeling.

However, it would be best to have ready-made drawings, but Lao Zhu was not satisfied yet and continued to ask:
"Can you change it again?"

change?
Zhang Yi was confused. There was already a ready-made optimal solution, so why should it be changed?
"The north is a borderland after all, and the protection of the capital is very important!

What I need is a stronger city and a city with better experience..."

Zhang Yi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.

In the battle of Beiping Prefecture, Zhu Yuanzhang used most of the former dynasties as bait to introduce Wang Baobao's army into street fighting.

This victory was a great victory, but the consequence was that the city suffered a serious blow!

Since Lao Zhu wants to build a capital, he hopes to do it again!
"I probably know what your Xuanwu Army camp in Qiongzhou looks like!
That kind of solid fortress-like stone house is very suitable for the new capital city! "

Even if Zhang Yi's prophecy is endorsed, even if the north has been pacified!
Now that he has decided to go to Peking and become an emperor who guards the country, Lao Zhu has very high security requirements for the capital.

In the past, he had no choice, but now that Zhang Yi was a ready-made labor force, Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally more interested.

"Your Majesty, do you want to use cement and concrete technology in Sunchon?"

"That's right! Since I want to move the capital, I need a capital that is absolutely safe and worthy of my status in China!
Far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties, you said it yourself!
Then draw me a picture according to this standard! "

"Um……"

Zhang Yi did not resist Zhu Yuanzhang's request, on the contrary, he was a little excited!
Let yourself build the future capital of the Ming Dynasty?

Thinking about this kind of thing makes me excited.

In the future, she will definitely follow the emperor to live in the capital. Whether she can have a good living experience depends on him.

Regarding the palace and city walls, Zhang Yi himself had no better opinions.

Cement, a concrete adhesive, does not have much effect on city walls.

However, in ancient times when construction was dominated by wood, cement concrete was of great significance in building houses and building roads.

Re-planning a capital city brought many ideas to Zhang Yi's mind. Regarding the current pain points of living in Nanjing, he hoped to effectively solve them.

"It's not urgent, just give the design drawings to the Ministry of Industry later!
Regarding the cement process, I have it, and Shuntian Prefecture has also begun to build a cement workshop..."

Once Lao Zhu decides to do something, he immediately does it vigorously and resolutely:
"It's a pity that I don't have that many people to repair the canal at the moment. This will have to wait for five or six years!

As for shipping…”

There was an endless stream of Lao Zhu, telling Zhang Yi his plan.

Zhang Yi also learned from Zhu Yuanzhang how the country was run.

He gave Lao Zhu a lot of suggestions. Lao Zhu rejected some suggestions that were not in line with the times, and accepted some things with humility.

Immediately afterwards, Lao Zhu said:
"I have already made arrangements for your school!

From now on, the Spring and Autumn Viewing Conference will be divided into two parts!Part of it is where the children of the guilty ministers go to school, so go ahead and get it!
I look forward to you giving me more surprises! "

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Okay, I will announce this tomorrow. By the way, have you not gone to meet the person you changed your mind about yet?"

Zhang Yi was thoughtful when he heard the words.

He said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang, turned around and left the palace.

Standing outside Chengtian Gate, Zhang Yi asked Lao Mo to take him to buy some things and then deliver them to Xu Mansion.

The emperor bestows marriage.

Although he and Xu Da had a tacit understanding about this matter, as a junior, he had to go back to Yingtian Mansion.

"It's uncle..."

When Zhang Yi sent a greeting note to the Xu family, the Xu family had already known of his existence.

Everyone knew him well, and the servants at home simply called him uncle.

This call made him dumbfounded.

He followed the servant into Xu Mansion, but bumped into Xu Yungong who was about to go out.

"Brother-in-law!"

Zhang Yi found that the people in the Xu family seemed to accept his marriage with the Xu family girl naturally.

Zhang Yi was a little speechless when he was called brother-in-law, but after trying hard to adapt to his new role, he nodded silently.

"My mother and sister are in the inner courtyard, I will take you there!
My mother has been out of sorts recently and has not seen any foreign guests, but my brother-in-law is one of our own, so naturally he is not one of them..."

At this time, Xu Yungong was only a child in his early ten years.

Zhang Yi watched him grow up since he was a child, and he and Zhang Yi had a very good relationship.

After he finished speaking, he took Zhang Yi's hand and ran away. Zhang Yi was behind, angry and funny.

However, his mood is stable.

Being able to marry the Xu family was considered a very lucky thing for him.

The two of them entered the courtyard that Zhang Yi had visited countless times.

At this time, Ms. Xie was walking slowly with the support of the girl from the Xu family.

Seeing Zhang Yi, Mr. Xie smiled:
"Isn't this our uncle?"

Zhang Yi didn't blush, but the girl from the Xu family who was supporting him turned red.

Although her thoughts are different from those of people in this world, when it comes to life-long matters, she still behaves like ordinary people.

"Auntie!"

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly, why can't everyone be more reserved?

He saluted Mr. Xie respectfully.

Xie said:

"Just come back and help me feel my pulse!"

Ms. Xie has been very nervous since she knew that the child would die.

Zhang Yi heard this and walked over to feel Xie's pulse.

His current medical skills have already come to the fore. After a while, he put down his hand and said:
"Don't worry, Auntie, the fetus in your belly is fine!"

Mr. Xie breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this:

"As long as everything is fine, I'm afraid something will happen to him, I'm sorry, sir!

The master is working hard on the front line, and I don’t want him to be distracted..."

Zhang Yi said:
"Don't worry, Madam, Uncle Xu will be back soon. The war is over..."

"Yes, it would be nice to come back. We women, what we want is for the men in the family to be safe...

The master has settled the matter, the Chang family..."

Xie's habit of talking nonsense started again, and Zhang Yi suddenly thought:
"The Chang family?"

"It is said that Chang Mao is missing..."
