Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian became excited when he mentioned the plan for the north:

"For example, I will definitely continue to build the area west of Suiye City.

Apart from anything else, Li Zicheng snatched some good things from the west for us. We must bring them back, right?

If we don’t use trains and use oxen and horses, it won’t last until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse!

Over there is our Western Railway Bureau. "

Zhang Yan was itched by Zhu Youjian's big plan.

Just listening to this plan makes people's hearts swell.

"What about the Eastern Railway?"

Zhang Yan opened her mouth and asked subconsciously.

Since the central, northern, and western regions have all made such big plans, where should the eastern region be?

Also - the south can't be the Thirteenth Province, right?

Zhu Youjian seemed to have seen through Zhang Yan's thoughts and said with a smile:

“This side of the Thirteen Provinces is the Jiuzhou Railway Bureau.

Neither the Southern Railway Bureau nor the Eastern Railway Bureau will be placed in the mainland..."

Zhang Yan's eyes widened.

She remembered when she left the Forbidden City.

At that time, His Majesty said something to Sister Zhou - if things go wrong, go to the New World...

Is it...

Zhang Yan's breathing quickened.

Could it be that the emperor's Eastern Railway Bureau was to be placed in the New World?

God!

"Boom! Bang!"

At this moment, I don’t know which store lit the fireworks first.

In the palace on the top of the mountain, the sky is full of stars, as if you can reach it at your fingertips.

The unfolding fireworks had just finished blooming their short life. The sky darkened slightly, but there was another sound:

"Hey~ Smack!"

The colorful stars appeared in front of me again.

Zhang Yan was crazy.

She had never seen fireworks from this height.

With the first explosion of fireworks, almost more than half of the people in the capital lit up fireworks.

The dark sky turned into a feast of colorful shooting stars.

There were even many big businessmen who had made money, and even fireworks with words were set off.

"Look!"

Zhang Yan pointed to a flickering firework in front of her and said with a sweet smile:

"Look there, it's blessing you!"

Zhu Youjian looked up and saw a huge font slowly dissipating in front of his eyes.

You don't even need to distinguish, you can see that these are the eight characters of "Happy Halloween, Guotai Minan".

All Saints' Day and May the Nation be safe and peaceful...

Zhu Youjian's eyes were a little hot.

What a simple wish!

……

Amidst the sound of fireworks, Zhang Yan increased her volume:

"Then what are you going to do with Zhu Yousong?"

Zhu Youjian turned around and saw Zhang Yan's face was pink among the fireworks.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether the fireworks reflected the beauty's face or the beauty's face reflected the fireworks.

Zhang Yan was confused and even vaguely expected.

As for what to expect...

Zhang Yan's face turned redder and redder.

However, what she met was a man whose emotional intelligence was not enough.

Zhu Youjian said solemnly:

"Nanjing court?"

He laughed:

"Zhu Yousong, it's nothing.

I want to take care of him, it's just a matter of oral instructions.

Do you believe it?

I have issued an order to arrest Zhu Yousong today. In ten days, Zhu Yousong will be thrown into Luohan Mountain Royal Prison.

Zhu Yousong is easy to solve, and so is Hong Guangchao.

What is difficult to deal with is the Jiangnan gentry..."

Zhu Youjian rubbed his temples.

A few white hairs made a sound when he rubbed them.

“Jiangnan is no different from other places, the relationship between the common people and the gentry is antagonistic.

Most of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River had their own workshops, and there were even factories with tens of thousands of people everywhere.

In this world, no one can escape the word profit.

The gentry opened workshops but did not know how to work.

As a result, the landless people in the south of the Yangtze River all relied on the gentry for their lives.

Therefore, these gentry in the south of the Yangtze River can gather countless people with just one shout.

The gentry coerced the people, and the people acted as shields and provided the gentry with endless energy.

It’s not easy to deal with here!

This is also the reason why, for hundreds of years, the local government has not been strong! "

……

In fact, Jiangnan is inaccurate.

To be precise, it should be South Zhili plus Zhejiang and Jiangxi.

These places are developed because of industry and technology.

The social form is no longer the same as the traditional agriculture-based society.

(According to history books, it is called the developed handicraft industry.

The term handicraft industry is a forced classification of ancient technology by later generations, which is inaccurate.

According to this standard, when human science and technology become more developed, our contemporary era can be called the "handicraft industry" era.

It is wrong to simply and crudely distinguish past lives based on the technological level of future generations. )

Once the social form is different, it means that the world of social relations is completely different.

To put it bluntly - since the birth of capitalism, it has had a hostile relationship with the inherent social system of mankind.

To put it bluntly, this area of ​​Jiangnan is better said to be the Jiangnan of wealthy families than the Jiangnan of the imperial court.

Just imagine - at that time, there were many large factories with tens of thousands of people in Jiangnan.

A network of relationships has been woven that encompasses everyone from top to bottom.

The court is here...

Is there any right to rule?

Capital - will the imperial court still have the right to rule?

the answer is negative.

From the beginning of its birth, capital was driven by profit.

Capitalists can do anything for profit.

Fighting against the imperial court is just the lowest level of operation...

During Zhu Yuanzhang's time, people could pay taxes to Zhu Yuanzhang with "paper money".

Even if you add these banknotes, you still owe more than half of the tax!

In fact, the tax revenue handed over to Lao Zhu was not even two-tenths... (In the early Ming Dynasty, it was a tax in kind.)

Zhu Yuanzhang was labeled a murderer and cruel by the literati after a small punishment.

This is the true background of three of the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty: "Hu Weiyong Case", "Guo Huan Case" and "Kongyin Case".

It's just a competition for interests between the gentry and the court.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang cannot say that!

If these things were told honestly, the richest places in Jiangnan would be completely independent!

For the newly born Ming Dynasty, this was a devastating blow.

So, he was charged with treason.

The essence is - a group of civil servants and gentry intending to evade the imperial court.

That's why!

……

Zhu Youjian knew the inside story, but couldn't come up with a better way.

In fact, if you want to deal with the tycoons in Jiangnan, the best way is to use the advancement of productivity to eliminate them.

Just like the impact of the modern European industrial era on Jiangnan handicraft industry.

Directly utilize powerful industrial capabilities to deal a devastating blow to this gentry capital group.

Use magic to defeat magic...

however……

This is a waste of time. If we don’t have more than ten years, we can’t expect to see any results.

Zhang Yan also figured it out.

She tilted her head and asked in surprise:

“Why can’t we learn from the methods used to deal with Huizhou merchants?

Just let Fang Zhenghua continue to do it! "
