From now on, Zhu Houcong basically just waits for Gu Dayong to come back. This is a big deal, and if it doesn't go well, it will really cause big changes, although Zhu Houcong doesn't care.
If as an emperor, he still has to be bound by the secular world and has no control over anything, then he should just be a hammer and just go home to farm. Or even be an idle Taoist prince and the head of Wudang. Wouldn't it be good for him?
His master thought the same way at the beginning. He was just a prince, and the prince had no real power. It was good to be an idle prince, and he could be considered a successor. But who knew that people are not as good as God, and good disciples can be so useless.
Already.
Zhu Houcong was also very confused. He didn't know that he worked hard on Wudang Mountain. He knew that this was a world with superb martial arts. In order to protect himself, it was a hard work. In the end, he became the emperor.
"What's the situation over there? Where do you plan to put this city?" Other things are almost done, but this matter seems to have not been settled yet.
"Weichen and Lord Yan discussed it. There are many places that His Majesty wants, but we all agree that Nanjing is more suitable, but His Majesty..." He did not say the next words, Nanjing is indeed suitable.
But there is a city of Nanjing over there. If you put it there, there is no need to think about its concealment.
Zhu Houcong also knew what Yang Shen was going to say. Nanjing was naturally suitable. Whether it was transportation or minerals, it was basically satisfactory. After all, it was the capital of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. If Zhu Di hadn't wanted to fight, he wouldn't have been able to move there.
The capital was moved to Beijing.
Beijing is not suitable for being a Kyoto geographically. It is not only cold, but also close to the border. If the Ming army was weak, it would be easy for someone to march straight in and invade directly.
Now I want to find a good place, and Nanjing is naturally suitable. Moreover, with the city of Nanjing at my back, I can get a good supply of whatever supplies I want. Basically, there is no downside, except for the issue of concealment.
"Of course, other places are also possible, but urban construction is relatively difficult, because His Majesty cannot just rely on the people of Jinyiwei to build the city, but also has to recruit migrant workers from outside. It is backed by Nanjing City, so many things are very convenient.
If your Majesty agrees, I can promise to build a big city within one year."
Yang Shen just said that, the final decision-making power still lies in His Majesty's own hands. There are many places, but after his discussion with Yan Song, Nanjing City is undoubtedly the most suitable place.
They feel that His Majesty will let go of these things sooner or later, so where to build these cities not only needs to consider the current concealment issue, but also the future development issue.
"That's it. Have you ever thought about building it on the seaside?" Zhu Houcong took a look at it, because sea transportation is undoubtedly the fastest. Of course, his current navy still basically has zero foundation.
In fact, he also thinks that the city of Nanjing is quite good. It is located inland and is heavily stocked with troops. As long as there is any change, Nanjing can be there to provide support. In fact, it is quite good, but he just asked, the development of coastal cities is inevitable.
After all, the ocean is the main body of Blue Star.
But, not now, it can be rebuilt in the future, but for now, what Yang Shen said is the best choice.
"Your Majesty, are you going to open the sea?" Yang Shen was very alert. If he really wanted to open the sea, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have such a city along the coast, but is he really going to make such a big move?
The Ming Dynasty did not have such a serious seclusion, but it also banned the sea. Japanese pirate attacks were part of the reason, and there was also profit. Although the sea was dangerous, the profits from trade were too high.
"I have this idea, but I don't have any plans at the moment. I just want to ask you, sea transportation is actually faster. As long as we solve the technical problems of the ships, the seaside will be much better than the inland." Regarding Yang Shen's politics.
Zhu Houcong is still very satisfied with the sensitivity.
It is inevitable to open the sea, but it is not necessary at the moment. The navy has not even started training. What is the use of opening the sea? Taxation and other things have not been integrated yet. The money earned after opening the sea is not expensive. Take care of it yourself, and yourself
Why are you so concerned about something that doesn't matter?
Moreover, Yang Shen has been trained now, and he can clearly feel the problems here. As a leader in the new era, Yang Shen needs to have this kind of thinking.
"We haven't thought about this at the time. First of all, it's a population issue. The coastal areas don't have a large population. If we want to build a big city, concealment is no problem. But Wei Chen doesn't think it's necessary. If the sea is opened, we can try it then.
Come on, there is no need now. It is difficult to collect some daily necessities in the past, which will cause certain troubles to their lives."
Yang Shen didn't say much, because he really didn't understand it very well. The places he chose were basically inland places, and the coastal areas were not considered at all. Among other things, population was a problem.
Although concealment is a requirement, if we expand production and recruit workers in the future, what will we do if there is no one? Can we still move there from outside? You must know that those who go there are basically exiles, and who is willing to go there, but Nanjing is different.
, one of the two capitals, absolutely a good place.
"Then if you want to say so, let's go to Nanjing. There's no need to think too much about concealment. It's just a city anyway. They can see it if they want. Then it will be heavily guarded. Have you chosen the place?
?" Zhu Houcong agreed without saying much. It's not a big deal. These things will have to be let go sooner or later.
Putting such a city on the bright side can also attract most people's attention. Besides, even if I put it on the bright side, do you think you can see what you want to see? Don't think too much
, as long as there is a perfect system, these things can be ignored.
And if there is a chance in the future, the capital can also be moved there. Zhu Houcong is really not used to the weather in the north. Of course, that is to say, moving the capital is a very troublesome thing. There are many things to consider.
It's better to just stay here and forget it. After things stabilize and Yan Song rebuilds the cabinet, he can go out for a walk.
The world is so big that it would be a pity not to go out and have a look. The world has not yet experienced the impact of the steel system. It is full of green trees, so it is good to go out and have a look.
"Of course the place has been chosen. Your Majesty, you see, right here, Wei Chen plans to build a big city in this area, which will directly radiate the surrounding areas and draw in the surrounding areas to form a large buffer zone that can be used for military training.
, you can also grow some grain, but Weichen has not planned too much farmland. The trumpets here rely on outside, and the grain storage area must be large, and then..."
Yang Shen took out a map and started talking. It is easy to build a city, but it is not easy to keep it running normally. Among other things, there is no cultivated land here, so you must buy food from outside, and then build it.
After selling it, you need to arrange the supporting personnel, and there are a lot of things to do.
But the only good thing is that this is a place built for their Jin Yiwei and their families. Everyone inside knows everything about it, and it is easier to arrange. Once the general decision is finalized, Yang Shen can start preparations. If it is revealed to those brats, they will probably be happy.
broken.
The underground palace is huge, but you can't see the sun, and another point is that except for daily necessities, you can hardly buy anything else below, and the daily necessities are all free, which basically means that your money can't be spent.
go out.
It’s okay if the time is short, because everyone is immersed in the joy of making money, but it’s not good if the time is long. When the money is useless, many things will change, and workers will have no motivation. Without motivation, there will be no creation.
Power, very troublesome.
"Okay, okay, what's the use of telling me this? I don't understand. My only requirement is that the place needs to be big." Zhu Houcong rolled his eyes. He was not a professional. What's the use of telling him?
The construction of a city is not that simple. He doesn't understand the archways for garbage and sewage, how to prevent urban flooding, and the construction planning of living areas and industrial areas. He doesn't understand these, so he shouldn't mess with them.
Even a professional might miss something in the end, so he shouldn't cause trouble. As long as there are no major mistakes, Zhu Houcong can forgive some minor things, as long as there is a chance to make amends.
"Okay, what I'm waiting for is your Majesty's words. I will go down and start preparations now, and strive to start construction as soon as possible. Don't worry, Your Majesty, we are professional in these matters." It's easier to say if you are given autonomy, anyway.
That's it. You can start enclosing the land now, transport the materials, and start construction once the drawings are out.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you. I came to see you and I have one more thing to tell you." Zhu Houcong suddenly put on a serious face, which made Yang Shen a little uncomfortable.
Yang Shen looked at His Majesty with a strange look on his face, wondering what kind of trouble Your Majesty was planning. Sometimes he couldn't keep up with His Majesty's thoughts, so he didn't know what His Majesty's sudden seriousness meant.
"I really have something to tell you." Zhu Houcong shook his head and said that he was not joking. It was a matter of the Confucian family. A series of measures would be taken to suppress Confucianism in the future. He should tell Yang Shen anyway, even though he was not responsible.
But this is to pave the way for him.
"Tell me." Yang Shen also put away his smile. There should be something really going on, so what exactly is it? His Majesty seems to take it very seriously.
"The country should be quiet for a while after the war. I plan to teach and promote the new learning. But to promote the new learning, the first thing to do is to suppress the current mainstream academic Confucianism."
"This is right. The influence of Confucianism is too great. If it is not suppressed, the new learning cannot develop. It is simply impossible for Your Majesty to launch a new type of education. However, Confucianism has been developed for so many years and has already been deeply rooted.
Suppressing it rashly may have a bad impact on the city. What about those students who have studied hard for ten years? Isn't it just for the sake of career after studying for so many years? Is there a better way?"
Yang Shen still understands clearly. Although he is deeply influenced by Confucian culture, after learning the new learning, he knows that the development of the new learning is inevitable. It is not that Confucianism is bad, but that Confucianism has deviated from its original intention. For Your Majesty's
He agrees with the idea in principle, but hopes it can be gentler so that there will be less contradictions.
"Those are all trivial matters. When the time comes, I can give them two scientific examinations. Confucian students can also take the examinations, but the place where they serve as officials has to be a little further out. Don't saints advocate enlightenment? Just go and do this. The Tatars
After the Tatar campaign, officials from Daliang were needed to educate their minds. This will also apply to future wars. Ideological education is also a very important process, and they are very useful."
Waste has to be reused, not to mention that these scholars can be regarded as talents. We must not waste them and give them opportunities. If they do well, they can be transferred back, right? It's just a test.
"It's good that your Majesty has a plan. It's better to arrange it this way. Although it's a bit far away, it's at least better than shutting the door completely." Yang Shenwei nodded, as long as she was given a chance. Although the conditions may be much worse than before, they are still better than before.
If there is no alternative, we must completely block the road and deny people a way to survive, which will drive people crazy.
If you really are a genius, you can actually learn new learning quickly, and new learning and Confucianism will definitely be integrated in the future. Confucianism is not without merit, but it is too big, and suppression is an inevitable choice.
"It's easy to say this. They can't come up with any tricks. I'm telling you another thing. I plan to attack Confucianism. Only by destroying this pillar of Confucianism can the new school have the possibility to rise to the top. Regarding the resistance below,
I don’t care, but I’m afraid you might have some ideas, do you understand?”
Zhu Houcong was afraid of a fire in the backyard. If he really did this, the gains would outweigh the losses. Therefore, if Yang Shen was really unwilling, Zhu Houcong could take it easy. He was still very humane.
Hearing this, Yang Shen fell silent. It was not that he felt sorry for those people or that they had any interactions with each other, but that since His Majesty said it, he might not be kind. Just now, he said that the transition would be smooth. This was not a smooth transition.
The restless Ming Dynasty will cause another uproar.
"What does Your Majesty want to do?"
"Of course it's all done in one go. Don't let anyone run away. Let Gu Dayong handle this matter. Of course, if you don't want to, I can take it easy. Or if you have any acquaintances you want to protect, I'll keep an open mind.
, As long as nothing happens, one or two of them will be fine." Zhu Houcong waved his hand.
He was very generous, giving Yang Shen room to bargain, and he was very protective.
Yang Shen shook his head and said softly: "Wei Chen and the Kong family have nothing to do with each other. It's just that this matter is of great importance. Your Majesty must make preparations in advance."
"It's a small matter, I have a plan, so don't worry about it. Just leave it to Gu Dayong. Just pretend you don't know anything and tell Yan Song that you don't have anything to do with it." Zhu Houcong is not very good at many things.
I don't care, it's just some infamy. If you want to publish it, you must survive me first and then you can tell me.
