The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 517 Zhu Yuanzhang's Worries
The spring of the 33th year of Hongwu.

The earth returns in spring.

"Selling newspapers."

"Selling newspapers."

Southern District of Beijing.

On the streets of Chunhua New Town, children selling newspapers use the book bags issued by the newspaper office to carry the latest ten-day newspapers, looking for customers to buy newspapers.

"Jingle Bell."

On the wide street paved with stone bricks, there are two railway tracks in the middle. The driver of the horse-drawn bus rang his bell to remind people not to occupy the road.

With the railway track as the dividing line, people walk on the right side. Most carriages and people riding animals are close to the railway track, while pedestrians keep to both sides.

The public huts built on the streets are divided into men's and women's huts, with men on the left and women on the right. Not only are Chinese characters written on the partition walls, but white skirts and pants patterns are also painted with lime, which can be understood even if you are illiterate.

at this time.

It was very early.

On the last trip of the dung truck, the driver collected the "farm manure" from the public hut and left the new city while there were not many people around.

Just like Peiping five years ago.

It's just that the development speed here is faster, because hundreds of thousands of workers were mobilized successively, which is called Ming speed.

"Scholars have discovered that many stars in the sky are actually the sun. In addition to metal, wood, water, fire and earth, there are two other major stars."

The gate of the yamen.

shouted the newsboy.

People in different places like to read different content. The newsboy knows the market clearly and goes to different places according to the focus of the newspapers every ten days. He can sell out all the newspapers sent to him every day.

"Child."

Two middle-aged men in I-shirts, carrying yellow briefcases, waved to the newsboy.

The newsboy showed a smile and carried his bag. The weight of a bag of newspapers was quite heavy, and the child ran over staggeringly.

"Yoah."

"A new machine was invented."

The middle-aged man opened it and looked at it. Regardless of the newsboy's anxious look, he handed it to his companion.

"The equatorial mount has determined the coordinates and proposed the yellow line and the red line. In the future, we can use numbers to identify specific places."

The newsboy was afraid that they would leave without paying after reading the contents of the newspaper. Hearing the conversation of the middle-aged people, he couldn't help but prick up his ears.

He read the contents of the newspaper, but he didn't recognize many words, and he couldn't understand the words he knew together.

It is written in the newspaper that the ancestors of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the astronomers Gan De of Chu State and Shi Shen of Wei State, wrote the "Gan Shi Star Book", which observed the movement trajectories of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, and discovered the patterns of the five planets. .

He also discovered Jupiter's companion stars, named 120 suns, determined the directions of [-] stars, and created astronomy.

The trajectories of the equator and the ecliptic, as well as the internal and external degrees, are left behind, that is, Gander's theory and Shishen's theory.

According to Gander theory and Shi Shen theory, a scholar named Huang proposed his Huang theory and established the astronomical cosmology, yellow and red lines.

With the help of the equatorial mount invented by Gan De and Shi Shen, he and Mrs. Ma Pengying proved the theory that the earth is round and revolves around the sun, which is called the Ma Huang universe concept.

He also improved the star-finding technique and formulated a new star-finding measurement board, which promoted the great development of navigation, astronomy, and geography in the Ming Dynasty.

The paper boy didn't understand what it did.

"Why don't you go to school?" Another middle-aged man looked at the newsboy seriously, looking a little angry.

The newsboy was stunned.

"The family is poor and cannot afford to go to school."

"Where's your father?"

"He farmed land for others in his hometown, and I came here with my second uncle from the village."

"Go back to your hometown and tell your father to find a job." The middle-aged man ordered casually.

The newsboy's left ear went in and the right ear went out, and he was about to ask for money.

"In today's world, besides being a tenant, there are more ways out. If you really can't find a job, you can follow this address to find my help."

The middle-aged man took out a hard card.

The newsboy recognized the four big characters on it.

food stamp bank
Because it is the largest building in the new city, and the biggest sign on it is these four words.

Quota management of Wuchang Branch of Huguang Branch of Food Stamp Bank.

It turned out to be a big shot working in a food stamp bank. The newsboy felt the comfortable feel of the hard card in his hand and looked at him with envy.

"There is no money to go to school. I think you are very smart, so don't delay yourself."

The newsboy was moved.

The stranger in front of him really cared about him, and he was no longer prepared to ask for money.

"Give you."

The middle-aged man took out a dime.

"Ah, sir, I can't find it."

"No need, I gave it to you, live a good life."

The newsboy looked stunned.

The middle-aged man handed him the money and turned away without hesitation. His companion made a face at the newsboy and followed him.

It took the newsboy a long time to react, and when he was about to return the money, the other party had already crossed the threshold of the government office.

The newsboy stood outside and shouted anxiously: "What's your name, sir?"

"His name is Zhou Tong."

The middle-aged man said nothing and disappeared around the corner. His companion turned back and smiled, then also left.

The newsboy touched the food stamps in his hand. He had never felt the kindness of the world to him so intuitively before, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"You are such a complicated person."

Zhou Tong and his companions handed over their name tags at the Yamen and waited for the summons from the Yamen officials. His companion sighed.

Zhou Tong ignored him.

"Say you are kind-hearted, but you are very harsh on the Korean maids in your family. Any Korean maid who dares to take advantage of your family will be driven away ruthlessly by you."

"If you say you are hard-hearted, tell me how much money you have given away along the way. That means your salary is high, and ordinary people cannot learn from it." "Let's go."

Zhou Tong stood up but did not answer.

The officials outside came in and greeted with a smile. The two parties went to the accounting room to calculate the yamen's new city construction expenditure report for the year-end quarter, which must be consistent with the accounts of the food stamp bank.

Daming is too big.

There seems to be no end to the poor.

Although he only met the emperor's grandson twice, the first time he met the emperor's grandson, the emperor's grandson was still the Crown Prince of Yan.

The second time in the capital, as a middle-level cadre of the Huguang Bank branch, I was summoned by His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun.

In just two short times, he learned the caring spirit of his people from His Royal Highness, the kind-hearted Emperor Taisun.

Because nine years ago, he was also a poor man in Bei Parallel Province.

His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun often said that getting rich first will lead to getting rich later.

He is not rich.

But when he felt that he could do what he could, he would lend a hand to the poor tribesmen, why not do it.

……

What kind of person is His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun?

Members of the Cabinet.

They deal with His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun every day. People often say that His Highness the Emperor Taisun is strict and has enacted various strict laws, which has harmed the interests of the people all over the world.

The same cannot be said for the cabinet.

If they say that, they have no conscience.

Be careful.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the high platform, and the prince sat on the desk below. His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun, the cabinet ministers, and the six ministers stood in the hall.

Zhu Di personally asked everyone to come here. In the past, they only had to go to Wuying Hall.

The saint has not dealt with political affairs for a long time.

"Mainly from several officials from the Changshi Mansion of King Qin, they contacted many people. According to the confession, His Royal Highness the King of Chu was involved."

Jinyiwei Li Daoxin said nothing, and Ji Gang reported.

One person affects a whole nest, and a group of people affects a large area.

In the end, not only Zhu Yunwen of Guangdong was pointed out, but also the King of Chu.

Whether it was a frame-up for self-protection or whether it was true, Jin Yiwei currently has no other evidence.

Precisely because Zhu Yunwen and the King of Chu were involved, Zhu Di did not dare to make the decision without authorization and asked his father to come forward.

"The matter between Zhu Yunzhen and the King of Chu needs to be carefully investigated. The rest of the people must not be spared, and their families will be confiscated and their families destroyed."

Zhu Di said harshly.

Zhu Gaochi suddenly raised his head and was about to speak when he saw Zhu Di's stern eyes, which were full of warning.

Someone is plotting to kill the emperor.

As the heir, he needs to make his statement. This is Zhu Di's statement, just a political stance.

"The culprit cannot be forgiven, but his family should be punished with exile. If anyone is found to be innocent, they should not be implicated."

Zhu Gaochi still spoke.

Of course killing is a good way to solve the problem, but if the current situation of implication continues to develop, will tens of thousands of people be killed?

Zhu Gaochi didn't want blood to flow into a river.

In order to avoid Jin Yiwei's interrogation, how many people framed others, and there are probably not a few extremely evil people who would drag innocent people into trouble themselves.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the expressions of the ministers in the palace.

I'm afraid many people support the emperor's grandson, but no one dares to speak.

Under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, the ministers became even more silent, and they all looked determined not to speak.

"It's all gone."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.

Today's affairs were partly done for him to see, and he didn't want to undermine his son's filial piety, but he was not interested either.

Everyone leaves.

"Are you too soft-hearted?" Zhu Di immediately opened his eyes and asked Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi lowered his head.

"Don't do it to us."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up.

Zhu Di quickly approached and wanted to help Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang raised his arm and avoided Zhu Di's hand.

Today it is today.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very depressed.

Should the King of Chu recall the capital, how should the Qin Palace punish him, and whether the Qin Palace should be severely punished for this matter.

There is also the sixth child, or the child of the eldest child and the second child is trying to harm him, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang feel even more miserable.

If not, then Zhu Yuanzhang would not want to see their fate. The vassal system he formulated is now in name only.

Not counting those who have not yet become vassal, those vassal kings who have become vassals, the bastard Zhu Gaochi in the north has taken care of them one by one, and the only ones in the south are the King of Chu, the King of Shu, and the King of Xiang.

The King of Chu is the most capable of fighting among them, and his contribution is no less than that of Zhu Di. If the King of Chu is removed, the country's system will be better if the vassal kings are directly banned.

There were some things that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to reveal, so he never asked.

Zhu Di glanced at his son.

Zhu Gaochi nodded and answered Zhu Di.

Zhu Di and his son had already discussed how to place his brothers.

The three brothers in front of him are all dead. As the living eldest brother, of course he must set an example for his elder brothers.

"Father."

Zhu Di stopped Zhu Yuanzhang and talked about the vassal king.
