The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 222 The Compromise of the Struggle

Peiping is the commander of the envoy.

Yamen was established in Beiping City.

In the city of Beiping, apart from the Palace of the Prince of Yan, the Changshi Mansion, Beiping Cheng announced the Political Envoy Division, and Peiping commanded the Envoy Division, and there were several large yamen in accordance with the Procuratorate Division.

There are also Pengcheng Guards, Jizhou Guards, Jiyang Guards, Yanshan Left Guards, Yanshan Central Guards, Yanshan Right Guards, Yanshan Left Guards, Yanshan Central Guards, Yanshan Right Guards, Yongqing Left Guards, Daxing Left Guards, and Yongqing Guards who migrated from other places. Qing Youwei.

The guard commanders and envoys of the twelve guards were all set up in Beiping City, and the guards were stationed around Beiping Mansion, like stars arching the moon.

Public housing.

The commander of Beiping made the commander of Sidu command the affairs. Zhang Jing was on duty today. He followed the King of Yan out of Liao and took away many generals.

Therefore, there is nothing to do at the moment, Zhang Jing is going to go to Goulan to drink tea and listen to an opera after get off work.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside.

Zhang Jing frowned, ignored it, and read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hand as usual. This novel was passed down from Ying Tianfu's bookseller.

His good friend entrusted someone to give it to him. After taking a look at it, he couldn't put it down, and it became a plaything to pass the time in his spare time.

As a result, the noise outside became more and more serious. Zhang Jing couldn't continue to ignore it, so he went out angrily and yelled at him loudly.

"What can't be said properly, dare to make a noise in the Yamen, how decent is it."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Jing felt a little regretful.

Among the crowd, he saw the official of the Changshi Mansion, as if he was the party to the quarrel, and the object of the quarrel was the officials of the capital.

"Mr. Zhang, this person is unreasonable. He came to ask for our company's archives from the past year. His subordinate refused him, but he forced his subordinate to take it out."

The man said aggrievedly, and everyone looked at Zhang Jing.

The officials of the Changshi Mansion saw that the person who came was the work of a high-ranking official, and fear was born in their hearts, and they wanted to retreat obsequiously.

Zhang Jing stared at the man, and said dissatisfiedly: "Every ministry has rules, how dare you make trouble, although the prince is not in Beiping, don't you dare to break the rules."

The quarreling officials looked proudly at the official.

The official was helpless, stepped forward and cupped his hands, restrained his tone, and said kindly: "I accept the order of the little prince."

Some people changed color quietly, and some people didn't take it seriously.

What little prince, that's what the villains outside flatter, because the eldest son of Prince Yan's mansion hasn't been conferred the position of son yet.

Moreover, the king of Yan must abide by the rules, let alone the eldest son of the king of Yan.

Although the prince of Beiping is the biggest at the moment, they each perform their duties and have their own charters, so there is no way for them to intervene at will.

"Go back."

Zhang Jing said.

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he said again: "This matter is not in compliance with the rules, but beyond the rules, there is nothing more than human feelings. Since the young prince wants to see it, the yamen will organize a copy and send it to the Shizifu."

The official was dumbfounded.

After Zhang Jing finished speaking, he ignored everyone and turned back to the public room.

The people below, the level of contact is low, and they can't see the sky clearly, how can they know his difficulties.

Soon.

The official walked in aggrieved.

"Mr. Zhang, what can I do with my subordinates?"

"You sit first."

The official stood stubbornly.

Zhang Jing was not angry, and comforted: "I know you were wronged just now, so why not be angry with me?"

Hearing this soft word, the official sat down with embarrassment when there was a step.

"It's not because the subordinates are stubborn, it's because Changshifu's actions are unreasonable. Do we have to go through Changshifu's official documents in the future?"

Officials explained the behavior just now.

In his opinion, this is the palace crossing the border. If it becomes a common practice, then wouldn't the Beiping Metropolitan Commander become the lower-level yamen of the Changshi Mansion.

"This kind of situation has happened before, but at that time, the Changshi Mansion was still the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there were regulations, and everyone acted according to the rules."

"Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion has been reduced to the Changshi Mansion, why should we ride on the head of our yamen?"

The official said something, but Zhang Jing didn't interrupt, showing a listening attitude, and let the official talk to his heart's content.

After the words were finished, the official lost his temper.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingcai explained: "There are some things you don't understand, but you are usually diligent in doing things, and you did a good job in the errands I gave you, so I would like to remind you."

The official was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer the question, could it be that he obeyed the rules, but still did something wrong.

"You know about the Lanyu case the year before last." Zhang Jing's eyes showed seriousness.

When the official heard about the big case involving Lan Yu, he suddenly became vigilant, did not dare to say a word, and sat upright obediently.

Zhang Jing, because of the Blue Rain case, a large number of martial arts were wiped out, he took the opportunity to get promoted, and his promotion became a thing of the past.

Therefore, I am extremely sensitive to the political environment in recent years.

Before the big blue jade case, and after the big blue rain case, a group of officials in the five army governor's mansion changed, and the change that happened was that the status of the two was different.

In the past, the five-army governor's mansion had real power, and a large number of high-ranking dignitaries were in charge. The current five-army commander-in-chief's mansion has much less real power than before.

At the same time, a large number of officials in the Dudufu of the Five Armies were transferred to various places to serve as officials of the Dusi.

In other words.

The five-army governor's mansion was hollowed out, and his status declined. Military merit was gradually no longer the only criterion for promotion, but the methods of private officials, special grants, and appointment of ordinary generals as senior governors continued to appear.

Zhang Jing has already seen the desolation of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion in the future.

As an important yamen for the imperial court to control local military power, it lost its previous role, and there were two places that benefited, one was the Ministry of War and the other was the Mansion of the Prince.

Therefore, Zhang Jing was unwilling to fight with the vassal prince's mansion, because this kind of behavior was against the general trend, and he had already been defeated. If it wasn't because he was on duty today, he was contaminated with meat, in order to avoid future troubles, he would have ignored it.

After a few words convinced the official, Zhang Jing stopped talking too much. Some things are not easy to say too much, and it is easy to cause trouble if it is spread.

Shizifu.

"Zhang Jing?" Zhu Gaochi read.

"Back to the little prince, this person said so, he would have someone deliver it in person, that's why the subordinate came back empty-handed."

"Okay, I understand, you go down."

After the official resigned, Jin Zhong, who was discussing with Zhu Gaochi, couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that this person is a smart person."

Zhu Gaochi shook his head and said worriedly: "Maybe it's an excuse."

"It shouldn't be like this. Wouldn't this kind of behavior offend the little prince severely, turning a public dispute into a personal enmity?"

"That's good."

Zhang Jing is not well-known. Anyway, Zhu Gaochi has no impression. It may or may not have been recorded in history.

But no matter whether it is recorded or not, there is no splash.

But Zhu Gaochi will not underestimate anyone.

After working in Beiping for several years, no one I met was a fool. Even ordinary people had their own wisdom and knew how to survive.

Just like the widow who worked as a handyman in the railway engineering team, dared to block her way to sue, and somehow entered the Grand Theater, Zhu Gaochi left a lot of impressions.

Pulling two and a half children with one hand, mixed between the various departments, in terms of tenacity, Zhu Gaochi was willing to bow down.

It's just a matter of chance.

"It's not easy to do something."

Hearing Zhu Gaochi's sigh, Jin Zhong didn't feel that the little prince was moaning without illness, and it was difficult to do anything in any position.

Even if it is a saint doing things, it is also difficult.

"Yao Guangxiao has already replied." Jin Zhong didn't answer, and went back to the topic directly, "According to his inquiries in Yingtian Mansion and his speculation, the saint does have the idea of ​​emigrating to enrich the outside of the Great Wall."

"If King Jin goes out of the fortress smoothly, he will immigrate from the inland to farm in the later stage. The imperial court has already started to make arrangements to find out the situation among the people."

"The king of Yan is also there."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi said seriously: "Peking has developed so far and has sufficient material resources. What is lacking is the population. This opportunity of large-scale emigration should not be missed by Peiping."

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a saying that the north was trapped in war and the south was trapped in food.

Due to the lack of population in the north and the heavy burden of frontier defense, people suffer from corvee labor, while the population in the south is large, so people suffer from food taxes.

Speeding up immigration from the interior to the north would not only strengthen Beiping's strength, but also ease the plight of both the North and the South.

"But the prince is not in Beiping." Jin Zhong wondered.

"Start from both sides. On the one hand, we will find a suitable breakthrough first. Let the immigrants from the mainland expand the border guards and send them to Liaodong for my father to go to the court."

"While negotiating with the Chief Secretary, let them invite immigrants from the mainland to reclaim wasteland, and use a two-pronged approach."

Zhu Gaochi said confidently.

This method did not arise out of thin air.

Twenty-five years before Hongwu, the nature of immigration was mostly political immigration. From the perspective of sergeants, a large number of militias in the interior were relocated to increase the number of guards in the north.

Since the 21st year of Hongwu, because of the government's many years of governance in the northern border, a good foundation has been laid.

The curtain of economic immigration was opened. For example, Liu Jiugao, a doctor in the household department, wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang that year, saying that Hebei and other places had few fields and people, and suggested that people from Shandong and Shanxi should be moved to Hebei and other places for cultivation.

Only in the Hongwu Dynasty, in Shanxi, a net outflow of millions of people was made through immigration organized by the government.

then.

The legend of the big pagoda tree immigration, which is popular in more than ten provinces in the north, was born in this way.

In Beiping in the early Ming Dynasty, if the Beiping capital is included, the land area alone is more than twice that of Beijing in later generations.

Coupled with the current development of industry in Beiping, the economic level driven by it, and the promotion of tools such as steam engines, it has made it easier to cultivate fields.

However, the population of the entire territory of Beiping has not yet exceeded 300 million, which is far from reaching the load capacity of the land.

It can be seen from various aspects that there is no obstacle to immigration, and Zhu Gaochi does not think that Zhu Yuanzhang will refuse.

"With the Chief Secretary, please contact them to understand their thoughts, and it is best to reach an agreement."

"It shouldn't be difficult."

Last year, the Beiping government and China Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. cooperated in reclaiming acres of land, and both parties benefited, so Jin Zhong has confidence.

"Even so, the attitude that should be made is still to be made. To save face for others is also to save face for oneself."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

Everyone carries the flower sedan chair, and one person eats alone. It will definitely not go long. Only willing to share the benefits is the long-term way.
