The entire Beitongzhou has been completely renovated. Although it is snowing, compared with the ragged refugees everywhere in Nanchang Prefecture, the people here are much richer. The emergence of Jubao Building makes Beitongzhou more prosperous than before. It is said to be in the suburbs of the city.
Thousands of workshops appeared, and a large number of merchants had the remaining money and then went home to buy land, but instead invested a large amount of money in this water and land transportation, they opened various workshops.
Nowadays, the increasingly scarce commodity prices have been raised, and the prices of many goods have been rising steadily. Opening workshops has become a huge profitable business. Although it has not been invested in the land safely, the money earned is invested in the land
More than ten times that of.
A large number of workshops require a large amount of manpower. Even though Beitongzhou is overcrowded, it is still short of manpower, so the wages are also rising. It is no problem for a skilled craftsman to earn five or six taels of silver a month. You must know that it is a
Apprentices also have one or two taels of silver. If you are a tenant in the countryside, you may not be able to earn three or four taels of silver all year round. Even eating and drinking is a problem. Here, as long as you have the strength, a month's wage is enough to buy a stone.
Half of rice is as much as 500 kilograms. If you eat three kilograms a day in a family, it will be enough to eat for several months. In other words, in this Beitongzhou, people finally have extra money, and people have extra money.
It is inevitable to buy some things, such as clothing. Now in Beitongzhou, clothing has begun to transition from the former weaving to the purchase of clothing shops. At least wearing clothes in the clothing shop has become a fashion.
Compared with the clothes made of cloth, the clothes in the ready-to-wear shop are obviously more fine-tuned and more glossy. In order to attract customers, each ready-to-wear shop has to innovate almost every year or two, so in Beitongzhou
On the streets, from high-ranking officials and tycoons to ordinary people, they now wear fancy jackets or new cotton shirts.
Looking down from the sixth floor of Liuji Inn, although there were snowflakes, the crowds remained unabated, and they looked very happy.
Zhu Chenhao leaned against the tram on these six floors. Now the entire inn has been taken by him and his group. The journey from Nanchang Prefecture to Beijing is very different from what I heard and saw when I returned to Beijing last year, although occasionally
You can also see refugees. However, the number of refugees has dropped sharply. Judging from the faces and clothes alone, it seems that the whole world has changed.
At least along the way, you can see horse-drawn carriages loaded with goods. Some of them are from Nantongzhou to Lianzhou, and some are from Jiangnan to Nantongzhou to unload goods. There are even signs of congestion in some places because there are too many vehicles.
It was unimaginable a year ago. A year ago, it was just a tamped official road with dust. It was muddy and difficult to walk when it rained. Most of the time, there was no one in the entire official road, and there was a small number of caravans.
It was also a panic, fearing that bandits would pop up suddenly in this place where there was no trace of people.
But now, although many places in the Chidao have not been completed, the roads paved with gravel and compacted with coal ash on those completed roads are not only brisk, but also the caravans traveling far away are bustling.
lively.
Zhu Chenhao was getting more and more shocked as he walked along the way. Compared with Nanchang, this place was really in the sky and in the ground. Zhu Chenhao had a lot of hope that Nanchang would also build a road connecting the world, at least
The road of Chi has benefited a lot from Jiangxi. But then he thought about it, and he gave up this idea. The court benefited the most from the construction of the road, which means that the court will have more and more control over the local area. If the court is allowed to
Connected with Nanchang, the vanguard of the imperial court can reach Nanchang from the capital in just half a month. More importantly, with this road, the entire Nanchang Prefecture will be exposed to the eyes of the court, and every move will be in the court.
In mastering, this is not good for the Ning Prince's Mansion, but on the contrary, it is extremely harmful.
The biggest reason why King Ning was able to take Nanchang Prefecture as the center, secretly control half of Jiangxi, and even the appointment and removal of officials on both sides was spread all over the various yamen. The biggest reason was that Jiangxi was mountainous, and there was a natural barrier of the Yangtze River to the north.
The vast Poyang Lake has kept Jiangxi in a semi-closed state. The imperial court's control over Jiangxi can only rely on one governor and several officials such as the police. Once the road is built, it is equivalent to King Ning himself seeking death.
"Hmph!" Zhu Chenhao looked at the bustling crowds below and couldn't help but say, "When Emperor Taizu was there, the national policy was to value agriculture and low merchants. Now that boy Zhu Youzhe was so rebellious about the ancestral system.
Sooner or later he will suffer."
This sentence is quite a bit like the sour taste of grapes that cannot be eaten.
Standing next to Zhu Chenhao was an aide in his forties. This person was Liu Yangzheng, a famous scholar in Jiangxi. He served as an official in his early years. After Emperor Hongzhi ascended the throne, he dismissed his official position on the grounds that he was dependent on Concubine Wan. After Liu Yangzheng returned to his hometown, he simply acted.
Being a scholar, he recites poems and music every day, and he is content to himself. Gradually, his talent and reputation spread throughout the countryside. King Ning sent someone to invite him. It is said that when he heard this news, he refused to wear shoes.
He quickly got off to the envoy who came to ask for someone and said, "I'm so concerned about Wang Xiande, and I'm willing to give advice."
Soon, Mr. Liu became the right-hand man around King Ning. This man was quite scheming, so this time, King Ning arranged him to King Shanggao to give advice to King Shanggao.
Hearing Zhu Chenhao's rude words, Liu Yangzheng's face couldn't help but become stern, and he said seriously: "Your Highness, you have ears across the wall, be careful of your words!"
Zhu Chenhao curled his lips and wanted to say something else, but finally shook his head. After a long time, he said: "So, does that boy Zhu Youzhe rebelled against the ancestor system? "
Liu Yangzheng said: "Students are not talking about Zhu... What is the reason for the court? Everyone learns the luxury of merchants. Did Your Highness forget the Jin people fighting for wealth? This is a sign of the collapse of rituals and music. Your Highness will wait and see,
If it is ten years or three to five years later, the world will be in chaos.”
Zhu Chenhao couldn't help but nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Liu's words make sense. It was precisely because of this that Emperor Taizu advised the people to plant farming and treat merchants as a cheap business. I guess this was the plan."
However, Liu Yangzheng couldn't help but look at the bustling and peaceful scene downstairs again, and always felt that he didn't even dare to believe what he said.
At this moment, a guard quickly went upstairs and shouted in anger: "Your Highness, the urgent report sent by Pegasus from Nanchang."
Zhu Chenhao suddenly felt solemn. His father did not give him any hints along the way. Now, news came from Nanchang, and he immediately said: "Come it."
The guard immediately took out a letter and presented it to Zhu Chenhao. Zhu Chenhao took it, quickly tore the sealing mud, pulled out the letter and opened it for a moment, then couldn't help but feel suspicious and said lightly: "Father, this is again
What does it mean? I agreed before coming, but now I need to redesign it."
Liu Yangzheng couldn't help but stretched his neck and said, "Maybe the prince may not have other plans."
Zhu Chenhao thought for a while but couldn't figure out why, so he handed the letter to Liu Yangzheng and said to Liu Yangzheng: "Mr. Liu might as well take a look."
Liu Yangzheng took the letter, read it for a while, and then stopped talking.
The content in the letter was really unexpected. If it weren't for the fact that the handwriting was entirely from Zhu Jinjun and the seal of the Ning Prince's Mansion was stamped, Liu Yangzheng even suspected that the letter was fake.
Because the facts mentioned in the letter were too strange, when they came, King Ning Zeng'an instructed him to be careful when he arrived in the capital, but in this letter, King Ning asked them to make great contributions and no longer have to be careful. They want to do
, can be completely straightforward. The strength that King Ning has set up in the capital will also surface after King Shanggao arrives to strengthen their momentum. It also says that King Shanggao does not have to move in after King Honglu
The temple was directly at the Sihai Business Store in Yingchunfang.
What does this mean? Doesn’t Prince Ning know that once he does this, all the people arranged by the entire capital will be exposed?
A rebellion should have been carried out in a concealed manner, but I have never seen anyone who demonstrated his strength with such a big fanfare. This King Ning was either crazy or had a bigger plan.
Zhu Chenhao's face was gloomy and clear. Obviously, he did not dare to do as his father ordered. He went to the capital this time, at the foot of the emperor. The court had already had doubts about his father.
So blatant, does he still have the life to return to Nanchang?
However, King Ning had already sternly warned me in his letter, remember that when King Ning said this, it was already very serious.
Liu Yangzheng was stunned for a moment, coughed and said, "Your Highness, the student understands."
"What do you understand?" Zhu Chenhao's face turned pale.
Liu Yangzheng said: "I'm afraid that some news has been heard in the inside line of the court and the palace. The emperor has completely broken his trust in King Ning. I believe the court has begun to quell the rebellion. Prince Ning's plan is to make the court dare not take action easily.
, Only by letting the court know that we have enough eyes and eyes and eyes in Jiangxi, but also in the capital, can we make the court feel fearful? Didn’t King Ning make it clear in his letter? Letting some people come out, not to say that we should
All the forces in the capital are exposed. What Your Highness has to do is to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger. The more you show your strength, the safer your Highness will be."
This statement makes some sense. If King Ning is not strong at all now, once he is suspicious of the court, he can only take down King Ning and his son without bloodshed. And the reason why the court did not take action is that
The reason is that there is still fear. In order to deepen the court's fear, King Ning deliberately gave the imperial envoy a warning in Jiangxi, which also allowed the court to see his ability in Nanchang. King Shanggao must echo with King Ning.
In this way, those who want to do things can be avoided.
