Chapter 377: Zhu Yuanzhang: How Much I Was Hated Before?
Chapter 377 Zhu Yuanzhang: How much was I hated in the past?
Author: Mo Se Jiangnan
Zhu Yuanzhang only decentralized the power of civilian officials, but firmly held the military power and the power of appointing civilian officials in his hands.
These are the two powers that Zhu Han reminded him and must not be delegated, and Zhu Yuanzhang kept them firmly in mind.
Then, he took Ma Xiuying out of the palace incognito and went to Yingtian for a private visit.
Nowadays, viaducts are being built in Yingtianfu to accommodate the use of train tracks. Of course, it is not just that. There are also more other infrastructure constructions, such as the bridge across the Yangtze River. Now some master craftsmen have begun the basic work.
Try to build the bridge well.
Zhu Yuanzhang's first stop for fun was naturally Nancheng, where most people lived.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying walked together and chatted about Zhao Min: "I heard that Zhao Min built a factory in Nancheng? Did he let women work in the factory?"
Ma Xiuying knows better: "It's a spinning factory. It's a very simple job that women can do at home. But by bringing them together, the work efficiency will be improved a lot. This is a good approach and can increase some of the benefits," Zhao Min said
Qi Wu asked her to pull women out of their homes and let them go into factories. This represents an increase in productivity. In the future, there will not only be spinning factories, but also brick factories and sewing factories... In this way, Daming will develop even more
fast."
Let women have a class.
The purpose is to liberate productivity and increase the supply of basic materials for Ming Dynasty.
As long as goods are manufactured and then sold, that's money.
Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Ma Xiuying's introduction and nodded in agreement: "Qi Wu told us that if our Ming Dynasty wants to develop, it needs to evolve from an agricultural civilization to an industrial civilization. Spinning is a light industry, steel is a heavy industry... and there are many industries.
, we need to make a more detailed distinction in the future. The distinction is not very clear now, but it will be better in the future."
Ma Xiuying didn't care about this. She just told Zhu Yuanzhang: "Zhao Min does business not to make money, but to become a pioneer. Part of the money Zhao Min earns from business now is invested in the reconstruction of Nancheng. Look at the neat things in Nancheng."
The small building was renovated with the money Zhao Min invested, as well as our Huangzhuang outside the city, where the children study and eat. Zhao Min also gave a lot of money to several cities around Yingtian, including Zhao Min.
Prepare to do this."
"She is from our 75s. If she wanted to make money, she would have gotten rich early. What's the use of making money to them?"
Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't find a place for Zhao Min to use money, but he was also dissatisfied with Zhao Min's behavior of not making money: "Why doesn't Zhao Min make money? Let her hold the money, which can not reflect the value more than letting other businessmen hold it."
Really? We can rest assured that she will take the money, but if it were someone else...even if that person is called Shen Wansan, we would not be at ease."
Just as he was talking, Zhu Yuanzhang paused and said to Ma Xiuying: "Sister, have you been to Zhao Min's factory before? Let's go there and have a look."
just go.
Ma Xiuying took Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhao Min's factory.
When we arrived at the factory, more than 500 female workers were working, but no one raised their heads to look at Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang saw them working with their heads down, nodded with satisfaction, and then walked inside with Ma Xiuying.
In the office of the spinning factory, Zhao Min was scratching his head at several pictures. These were the clothes that Zhu Yuanzhang gave to Zhou Gushan to design when he was in Qiongzhou. Zhao Min found business opportunities in them, eliminated some of the more explicit clothes, and compared them
Formal clothing styles were selected.
Of course Zhao Min knew that the pattern of these new clothes in Zhu Han's hands could not be limited to this, so after Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang finished drinking last night, Zhao Min immediately entangled Zhu Han and sacrificed a lot to get rid of Zhu Han.
Holding the pattern of new clothes in hand.
The new clothes in these pictures look good to Zhao Min, but she also knows that after the new clothes are made and sold, it is still unknown whether they will be recognized by the public. She can't act openly just because they look good.
I think everyone can accept it.
Zhao Min was worrying. Ma Xiuying and Zhu Yuanzhang had already walked into her office. Seeing Zhao Min's frown, Ma Xiuying said with a smile: "Xiao Min, why are you frowning?"
"sister in law?"
Hearing Ma Xiuying's voice, Zhao Min raised his head and called his sister-in-law, but then he saw Zhu Yuanzhang standing behind Ma Xiuying, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
After Zhao Min came back, she had not met Zhu Yuanzhang face-to-face. Sometimes Zhu Yuanzhang went to the Prince of England's Mansion to meet Zhu Han for a drink. After Zhao Min learned about it, he would go around and try not to see Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang have been dependent on each other since they were young. Zhu Yuanzhang is an elder brother. The eldest brother is like a father. Zhu Yuanzhang is very serious on weekdays. In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor and he always speaks the truth. He has a very bad temper. Because he feels guilty, Zhao Min still feels a little bit towards him.
fearful.
Zhu Yuanzhang was similar. He didn't have any good feelings toward the woman who had deceived his younger brother. He straightened his face into a donkey's face and didn't speak. He just looked around and looked serious.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was very serious, Zhao Min naturally became more nervous. Ma Xiuying naturally saw Zhao Min's embarrassment and turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang behind him who had a donkey face. Ma Xiuying slapped him reproachfully: "What are you doing?
"
"Um."
After being reminded by Ma Xiuying, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became a little brighter. He nodded and said to Zhao Min: "Well, you have done well, it's just this money... you can earn whatever you deserve. It's convenient for our family to do things. If we pay, Shen Wansan and others
Can't you go out? It's not worth using your own money to do good things."
"yes."
Zhao Min did not hide it from Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "However, the King of England said that in the process of renovating the old city, we have already made money. The renovated houses will be smaller than the previous ones and have more space."
Part of the vacant homestead land is used for road widening, and most of the land is already in our name. In the future, housing prices in Yingtian will become higher and higher. We will use the vacant land for the construction of shops.
If you sell it outside, you can make a lot of money."
After hearing Zhao Min's words, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized.
Oh~ It turns out that this is how Zhu Han makes money.
But Zhu Yuanzhang continued to Zhao Min: "Isn't it right for you to do business and make money? What we are talking about now is not how much money you make, but the contributions you make and the things you donate to the outside world. You should not just do it yourself.
, other businessmen should also invest money, otherwise how many people can you help by yourself?"
I can help many people.
Zhao Minxin said that Zhu Han did not talk about forcing others to donate, so Zhao Min would naturally not do it, but now that Zhu Yuanzhang is in front of him, he could not say this: "Well, please rest assured, Your Majesty, I understand."
Anyway, what Zhu Yuanzhang said is right. As for whether to implement what he said, that is another matter.
Let’s just deal with it first and then talk about it.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhao Min did not refute him, he was relatively satisfied: "My family does not need to call me emperor. Your Majesty, just like the Seventh Five-Year Plan, I call you brother."
Call others, Shengfen.
"Okay, Your Majesty...brother."
Zhao Min saw Zhu Yuanzhang's tone softened slightly, and a big stone fell in his heart.
At the very least, I won’t have to worry anymore when we meet during the Chinese New Year.
Ma Xiuying took Zhao Min aside to talk. Zhu Yuanzhang was bored and looked at the design pictures of new clothes on Zhao Min's table, and suddenly became interested.
He held a suit and Chinese clothes. He looked at them from left to right and thought they looked good. He picked them up and asked Zhao Min: "What is this?"
"These are clothes designed by Qiwu. I think the pictures look good and I'm going to make two sets to try."
Zhao Min heard Zhu Yuanzhang's inquiry and guessed that Zhu Yuanzhang was very interested in these new clothes, so he hid his hesitation and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "When I make the new clothes, how many sets will I give to my brother?"
"Yeah, okay."
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with Zhao Min's answer, and did not forget to remind Zhao Min: "I see there are some clothes for women in it, and I will prepare a few sets for your sister-in-law."
"good."
Zhao Min agreed, and then extended an invitation to Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying: "Brother, sister-in-law, let's have a meal together at the factory at noon. It's a simple home-cooked meal. It's a big meal."
Zhu Yuanzhang would not refuse when he heard that the food was large and the food was full. He met Ma Xiuying's questioning eyes, nodded and said: "Okay, we will have dinner here at noon."
When she got home in the evening, Zhao Min happily told Zhu Han about meeting Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying today, and also told Zhu Han about Zhu Yuanzhang asking her to give her a few sets of clothes that she had made, and said confidently: "
As long as His Majesty wears the new clothes we designed, more people will definitely like them, and then we will not have to worry about selling the clothes we have."
"Well, just do it."
Zhu Han just pointed out the direction of development for Zhao Min. He basically ignored the rest and left it to Zhao Min: "New clothes represent new trends and are also new trendsetters. In the future, long gowns will gradually be eliminated. We
The new clothes will definitely add luster to your look.”
Zhu Han is very confident in new clothes. After all, this is the trend of the future. It would be strange if he doesn't have confidence.
"Master, how many good ideas do you have in mind? Can you tell me together?"
Zhao Min felt resentful and rubbed circles on Zhu Han's belly: "Master, you have too many ideas. I really can't come up with anything now... How about I find some little sisters to serve you?"
"
"Nonsense!"
Zhu Han patted Zhao Min and scolded her: "Don't you know how to find it yourself?"
"screw you!"
As he said that, Zhao Min started to be dishonest, and Zhu Han quickly stopped him: "I can't do it today, I have to accompany Sanniang and the others. You can rest first. I was pestered by you all night just after I came back yesterday. If you keep pestering me like this,
, it’s time for others to have opinions on you.”
"oh."
Zhao Min said oh, saying that she was very good and obedient, and then... there was no more. Anyway, she could only sleep alone tonight.
…
Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han, let’s talk about the court.
The reforms proposed by Zhu Yuanzhang, especially the reforms of the country, were definitely a big deal for the courtiers in the court.
At first, Zhu Yuanzhang only told Zhu Biao, Li Shanchang and other cabinet members, but it was impossible for these cabinet members to handle these matters. So after Zhu Yuanzhang left, Zhu Biao and Li Shanchang negotiated to reveal the news.
During the Ming Dynasty, China became the China of the Han people, and the courtiers were shocked by it.
Of course, what the courtiers were more confused about was how big the world was.
It took Zhu Yuanzhang about two years to set off from Yingtian and return to Yingtian. It was pretty good that he could complete these roads in two years, but the officials still found it incredible.
How big is the land outside the Ming Dynasty?
This question has become one of the most popular questions in Yingtian nowadays, and basically no one can answer it.
Some businessmen who had gone to sea naturally described overseas as being huge and full of wealth, which made people yearn for overseas. It was precisely because of the exaggerated words of these businessmen that the people knew the news: the Ming Dynasty
The territory has far surpassed that of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and even the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties could not compare with the Ming Dynasty.
The people didn't know the benefits of owning such a large piece of land, and they also realized that such a large piece of land had nothing to do with them, but it was so exciting and made them feel proud.
The common people who grew up under the roots of the imperial city were extremely excited after knowing that the Ming Dynasty owned such a large piece of land: "I really want to go out and see our Ming Dynasty... It is the Ming Dynasty of the world!"
"If you have money, you must go out and see!"
"Go to work! Work to earn money and go out and see!"
"Yes, I'm going to build a train... I heard that trains can run twelve hours a day. As long as there are railroad tracks, we can run trains."
Compared with the people in other places, the people in Yingtian are a little more aware, and they have a sense of honor, disgrace, and communion with the Ming Dynasty.
As for the courtiers... they are naturally happy too.
Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Biao is the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the actual manager of China. Zhu Yuanzhang can't take his son's job, right?
Thinking of the comfort of working under Zhu Biao's hands, the courtiers felt relaxed all over.
As for military power and personnel appointment power...these courtiers didn't care about it. They believed that as long as they clung to Zhu Biao's thigh, they would have a place in the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Since you can win the future and working under Zhu Biao is so easy, only a fool would choose to follow Zhu Yuanzhang now, right?
Today's Ming Dynasty belongs to the people who have returned to their hearts. Rebellion is a complete fantasy, and it is impossible for the rebellion to succeed.
If you are not rebelling, why do you care about military power?
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, and Zhu Biao came to manage the Ming Dynasty. For all officials, this was the best of both worlds!
They even began to eagerly expect Zhu Yuanzhang's order to be issued quickly, so that they could escape Zhu Yuanzhang's clutches.
What?
Zhu Yuanzhang had to rest for a month before going to court?
How is this possible?
The imperial censors, who were worried about the late change, began to file memorials one after another, asking Zhu Yuanzhang not to be greedy for pleasure. He had not been in court for almost two years. Now that he is back, he is not announcing new decrees in the court. Why is he resting in the harem?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the impeachment memorials coming one after another from the censors, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said to Ma Xiuying next to him: "Sister, do you think we were more hated by people in the past? Now you are urging me to change the title of the country and the decree, haha...
It seems that the environment Biaoer gave them is still too relaxed."
