Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 209 Zhu Di steps down!
In fact, Zhu Xi's move was more than just to mess up the Ming Dynasty treasure money.

At the same time as the chaos broke out, the release of old grain from various parts of Lingnan was completed, and many people of the Ming Dynasty were given the opportunity to purchase grain.

At least, no matter how chaotic the government is, the people at the bottom will not have to foot the bill.

Let them all have food, as long as they don't starve to death.

Don't think that the words "starve to death" are simple.

Throughout the ages, people in many dynasties have only asked for these three words. Will they starve to death?

They just want to live.

But many times, even such a simple request cannot be achieved.

For example, the pre-Qin period.

At that time, the people at the bottom were not human beings.

is a slave.

Their survival is completely in the hands of others.

Later, the ceremony collapsed and the joy broke down.

Qin State unified the world.

However, it didn't take long for an uprising to break out.

The people rose up.

why?
It's because they can't survive anymore.

Of course, some people will definitely say that the uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty was still dominated by some gentry classes and led by the duke class, but if the common people could not survive, who would take the risk of rebelling with them?
Later, at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no such thing as the princely class and the noble class this time. Zhang Jiao raised his arms and the Yellow Turban Army swept across the country, causing the largest peasant uprising in history.

Later, in the late Tang Dynasty, there was also Huang Chao...

A failed scholar.

As a result, the city was filled with golden armor!

Li Shimin said, use history as a mirror.

Of course Zhu Xi also understood this truth.

Therefore, he not only had to use means to drive away Zhu Di, the King of Yan, but also the King of Jin who planned to enter the capital to serve as the prison prince in the future, without harming the people.

Don't let the people pay for the political interests of the upper class.

This is what Zhu Ping wants to do.

Therefore, this time, Zhu Xi's request is that those merchants will actually transport the grain to the homes of the common people. This kind of transaction will not have any intersection with the government, and he also requires each of their families to implement it.

If they can't do it, or they want to deceive their superiors and line their own pockets, then once Zhu Ping finds out, he will not only severely punish them, but also destroy their families, and there will be no chance of cooperation.

Zhu Ping's warning is one thing.

Another safe way is to send some officials to follow these business families and supervise their implementation of this matter.

Because, only when the food falls into the hands of the common people, can it help to increase the price of the Daming Banknotes and increase the value of the Daming Banknotes. Affordable, while earning back the value of these grains, it also dealt a heavy blow to the economy of the Ming Dynasty.

By then, no matter how much Zhu Di didn't want to leave the capital, Zhu Yuanzhang would drive him away.

These officials are not the officials appointed by Zhu Xi to various places now.

Those people have just taken office not long ago and it is time to accumulate experience, so there is no need to transfer them.

Zhu Fang asked Mr. Yuan to recommend a list of students, and then handed it over to Yao Guangxiao. Among the official positions that Zhu Fang auctioned, those who were brushed off due to family background were not assigned official positions.

There are many such people.

Their family doesn't have much money.

So, are they studying in college in vain?
Of course not.

For these people, Zhu Ping is of great use.

For example, Sanfo Qi and Zhenxi City are in need of talents.

Yao Guangxiao had already selected a group and sent them out after interviews.

Now I still have some people on hand, and I just let them do this, which can be regarded as an increase in experience.

By the way, go to other places and see the suffering of the people.

I believe it will be good for them.

On Zhu Ping's side, he completed the handling of government affairs and began to prepare for the trip to the Penghu Islands and the high mountain islands adjacent to Penghu.

This is a big island.

Even, it will be the southeastern gateway of the future Ming Dynasty.

But before that, seven days after Zhu Xi returned to Panyu Mansion, Zhu Xi heard the news.

Zhu Di left the capital.

"When did this happen?"

Zhu Xi immediately found Yao Guangxiao and Daotong and asked them.

Yao Guangxiao replied: "The news just sent to the Yamen said that half a month after the autumn tax was paid, the Ministry of Officials took the lead to report to the emperor, impeaching King Yan for his unfairness, and because of the lack of salary, the government and the public were shaken. Then, the Ministry of War also went up It is said that the king of Yan ignored the military and state affairs, refused to allocate funds, but let the Ministry of War set up guards on the southeast coast, so that the Ministry of War owes soldiers as much as 200 million in food and salaries..."

"The other ministries also launched an attack together."

Daotong stroked his beard and said: "It seems that King Yan has offended the entire court in the past few months!"

"Hehe, I'm afraid I offended someone who is the most important person? How many people are there in the court today who can have such great energy to make the six departments attack at the same time?" Zhu Xi sneered.

Originally, he planned to take action to drive Zhu Di away.Unexpectedly, someone came to help him.

Money is just an excuse.

In fact, for such a large Ming Dynasty, would it be difficult to give Zhu Di time to collect millions of taels?

Not difficult!
Moreover, the six departments all save some money, live frugally and reduce expenses, and they can always get through it.

Ming Dynasty is not so bad that it really can’t stand it anymore.

But some people didn't want to give Zhu Di time.

Therefore, the officials of the six ministries did not cooperate and did not give Zhu Di any time.

If you should spend money, continue to spend it lavishly.

For example, the Ministry of War owed only more than 100 million taels in food and salary.

But you, Zhu Di, have spoken!

Let the Ministry of War set up guard posts along the southeast coast to protect the people from being harassed by Japanese pirates.

The results of it?
Zhu Di's intention should be to let the Ministry of War do this in a frugal manner.

However, the people in the Ministry of War did it lavishly.

Your King Yan said that you need ten guard posts, but our Ministry of War thinks ten is not enough?
What a long coastline!

At least twenty!
Out of thin air, an extra 20 yuan in food and salary came out.

Then, the same goes for the officials.

The rewards given to officials were given directly according to the highest standards, as if they were not afraid of tricking Zhu Di.

Chaotang is out of control.

The officials have made it clear that they want to kill you, Zhu Di... Of course, death is impossible.

But you have to abdicate.

Don't even think about becoming the prince of the prison country.

You are not suitable!
Everyone knows that this retreat means that he will completely miss the throne.

But Zhu Di finally left in despair.

On the day we left the capital, the sky was dark.

Dark clouds over the city.

The weather at that time was just like Zhu Di's mood.

However, Zhu Di was also cruel...

In the future, he will return here in his own way!

Then...conquer everything!
On Zhu Ming's side, his face was gloomy.

To be honest, it is easy for him now to deal with Zhu Di or the third child, King Zhu Fan of Jin.

The most difficult thing to deal with is the court.

From the perspective of driving away Zhu Fang, Hu Weiyong had a lot of tricks.

Moreover, he was still at home due to illness, yet he was able to do such a big thing.

Directly let all six of them turn against Zhu Di!

Zhu Yuanzhang should have been wary of such a thing.

But Zhu Yuanzhang showed no reaction.

There was no action against Hu Weiyong.

It was as if everything was approved by him.

If there was nothing weird in this, Zhu Fang wouldn't believe it.

"Your Highness, do you want to go to the capital at this time?" Daotong suggested.

Yao Guangxiao said: "No! Your Highness should not go to the capital at this time, even if the emperor issues an edict. After leaving King Yan and King Jin, we might as well follow what His Highness said before and let the younger brothers supervise the country first. None of them can do it. In the end, King Qin will go to supervise the country, so that he can be placed in high hopes and the people can have enough expectations."

"Is it necessary?" Daotong said with a straight face: "Right now, many families of the people cannot survive. Since His Highness, King Qin, has this ability, he should step forward without hesitation and save the people of the world!"

"Your Highness is going to stand up now, I'm afraid it's just the second King Yan! Do you think that King Yan really has no ability and was forced to leave? Wrong, King Yan is capable, otherwise he wouldn't be able to deal with such a big problem. It may persist until now. However, those officials in the court did not want a prince to supervise the country, so they joined forces and pushed away King Yan. Now His Highness has gone to the capital like this, even if the Emperor asked His Highness to supervise the country, his decrees, six Will officials comply?”

Yao Guangxiao's question made Daotong frown.

"Then, is it possible that His Highness will be able to make these officials obedient when King Jin leaves and then goes to the capital to supervise the country?" Daotong asked paranoidly.

In fact, in his heart, he also knew that Yao Guangxiao was right.

However, the truth is unclear.

He must find out why!
Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: "First of all, the emperor only has four legitimate sons. The prince is weak and cannot handle government affairs. Only now are the three princes taking turns supervising the country to test their abilities. When King Yan failed to pass the test and was driven away, The King of Jin will not be qualified in the future and will be forced to abdicate. So, Your Majesty, how many legitimate sons are there? There is only His Royal Highness King Qin. He is the last legitimate son. If he is not good enough, then who can? "

"Since there is a first step, there is a second step. Master Yao, just keep talking." Daotong stretched out his hand, as if asking for advice.

"Secondly, the people's hopes are all on His Royal Highness King Qin. No matter how courageous the officials in the court are, King Qin has the support of thousands of people. This is King Qin's weapon to fight back against them, and it is also a weapon of kingship. Sword! With such a magic weapon in hand, it is enough to help His Highness the King of Qin to straighten his back in the court, and to move forward indomitably and be invincible!"

Yao Guangxiao said this, and bowed to Zhu Xi very excitedly: "Please, Your Highness, you must not go to the capital!"

"Well, this is exactly what I want."

Zhu Fang smiled and said: "Tong Dao, go and prepare. I am going to take my mother and queen to travel around the sea. Let's go to the Penghu Islands first and inspect it!"
