[Comprehensive] Be with Ancient Celebrities

Those who have been to the Forbidden City in Beijing should have a clear idea of ​​how big the Forbidden City is. So how big was the imperial city of the Ming Dynasty?How is it different from Qing Dynasty?Hey, if you search this, you will find that it is really incomparable. In the Ming Dynasty, this part of the Forbidden City was only one-sixth of the entire imperial city.Not to mention anything else, the South Sea, Zhonghai, and Beihai are part of the imperial city. Do you know Xiyuan, the favorite place of Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Jiajing?This is the place.Even the so-called Haizi can be said to be juxtaposed with the Forbidden City and serve as the core of the entire imperial city.

Huh?Do not believe?In fact, if you take a closer look at the place name, it will be very clear, okay?Although the Xi’an Gate of Dong’anmen can’t be found at the moment, the two place names of East and West Huangchenggen Street still don’t explain the problem?As for the north, the place name Di'anmen properly corresponds to □□, why don't you understand?

Take a look at the map, look at the area of ​​the second ring road, and then look at the area occupied by the imperial city. To be honest, the area occupied by the imperial palace is really not small. Sometimes Ayu can't help but mutter that this is even more luxurious than the old Li's house. Obviously the one over there is from aristocratic background. This is a monk who heads the family. How can there be such a big gap?

Cough cough cough, it’s a long way to go, come back to Ayu, part of the reason for the large palace is that it contains a lot of yamen, almost all the yamen related to the emperor are included. In addition, relatives like Jin Yiwei The army also lives next to the imperial city, serving as the outermost barrier of the imperial palace.In this way, it is not surprising that the emperor knew about Ayu so quickly.Who made Ayu's family, as the Jinyiwei family, be neighbors with the emperor since their ancestors, right?

Emperor Wanli knew Ayu again, and it only took three seconds to recall this person. From this point of view, Ayu can definitely be proud. This sense of existence is overwhelming.

"That Qin Yu... yes, that's the Jin Yiwei who can heal bruises, right?"

Look, he also said that his father was loyal to the country and so on. In the end, for the emperor, the deepest memory was still saving him.

"Yes, after Qin Yu became a small flag... now not only is his Hundred Households Office vigorously promoting the demolition of violations and cleaning up the streets, but several other Thousand Households Offices have also begun to follow up. In the next few days A boy said that the alleys and alleys near our Huangchenggen look cleaner and more spacious than before... The money is not all taken by themselves, the newly added ditches are mostly poor People..."

As a capable slave, the emperor is more interested in people who are interested in him than the emperor. If he does not find out the eighteen generations of his ancestors, he will be unqualified.So, here the emperor just asked the beginning, so the eunuch, who obviously belonged to the servant, just blew it away, and emptied out all the things Ayu had done recently.The only difference is how much money Ayu earned. This level of detail, not to mention other people, anyway, the emperor is quite satisfied with it.

"It's a good job. Those ministers always said that the Jinyiwei ran rampant in the capital, making people angry. A while ago, some people impeached the Jinyiwei, saying that the Jinyiwei took advantage of it. Now it seems that those impeachments are really far-fetched. No money, no money. Can the street be tidied up quickly? Business tax and commercial tax can’t be touched. Now it’s hard to even ask the treasury for the money to clean the street? Hmph..."

The emperor's associative power is definitely not something that ordinary people can fathom. Looking at Ayu's case, it is obvious that he is tidying up the streets and doing some image hygiene work, but when he arrives at the emperor's place, he can immediately contact the business tax. How entangled the emperor was with the issue of business tax.

He struggled here, but the servant over there felt terrified when he heard it, and hurriedly began to dissuade him.

"Oh, Your Majesty, don't dare to say more, this matter of business tax...Even Mr. Zhang Ge can't do anything, let's..."

"Um?……"

With a sideways stare, he blocked all the servant's words in his stomach, but in the same way, Emperor Wanli himself was very uncomfortable.To be honest, Emperor Wanli was not very comfortable with Zhang Juzheng. After all, the great power of the prime minister violated his imperial power as the emperor. Pimples?So, in history, two years after Zhang Juzheng's death, the tragic event of deprivation of all official positions and final ransacking of the family's family for questioning, and the whole family starving to death occurred.This is the result of the emperor giving up his protection and letting Zhang Juzheng's enemies take the opportunity to take revenge.

But people don’t catch a cold. Wanli actually sees the benefits of Zhang Juzheng’s reform, and knows why Zhang Juzheng did it. To be honest, if it weren’t for Zhang Juzheng, Ming’s finances would have collapsed at least 50 years earlier, let alone Wanli. The emergence of the three major signs, these achievements are all made of gold and silver.

But why in the end this whip method is still dead?One is that Emperor Wanli's awkwardness towards Zhang Juzheng caused him to subconsciously not want to admit and use Zhang Juzheng when he could not surpass Zhang Juzheng's achievements, so that other people whose interests had been encroached took advantage of the loopholes. Like Zhang Juzheng, there are too few people who use forceful means to implement this decree, so that they were overthrown.

If we can persevere, we may even make some progress, such as getting some business taxes or something, such as the early birth of a child or something.Then even if there were more troubles in Little Binghe later, the chaos in this country would not be so big, and it would be impossible to give Houjin a chance to go south.

Even thinking about it better, it might be possible to take advantage of the weather problem to make most of the banner people in Houjin freeze to death outside the customs.Why is Hou Jin so keen on going south?Because the north is too cold and too difficult, otherwise it wouldn't be a toss every year, right?

Well, it’s getting further away, and here again, the emperor thought of Ayu again, and naturally started thinking about leaving the palace, thinking that he seemed to be fine today, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, so he simply changed his body Clothes, with two people next to him, went out of the palace again.

And just as he was leaving the palace, the Empress Dowager Li also got the report immediately. The Empress Dowager thought about it, and couldn't help but said to the servant next to her:

"Don't say it's the emperor, it's Aijia. Listening to you, I want to see the changes on the street today, to see if it has really changed. I still remember that when I first came to Beijing, I didn't see it. What kind of market, I always feel that the capital is prosperous. But it has been a long time, and when I think about it, there are indeed some inappropriate places on the street, not to mention the smell of the ditch after no one cleaned it. The street is crowded with shops, and it is hard to walk. If you want to say this, this street should be taken care of by someone, and that child is caring. So, you go there tomorrow, um, don’t use the name of Aijia Let Uncle Wu Qing go and reward the boy with ten taels of silver."

"The empress dowager is kind, and this reward is not small. Ordinary people can live comfortably for a year or two."

"You, don't pretend to be Aijia who doesn't know anything. With his current status, how much money is he still short of? It's just a way of saying, let him know what is good and bad, and he can be more dedicated in the future. Oh, no Master Zhang, the emperor's side... should be cultivating some capable people."

It is not easy for the Li family to become the empress dowager. Hearing this, one will know how far-sighted he is. It is no wonder that in history, his son was eaten so hard and he gained such a good reputation.

On the other end, Wanli walked out of the palace, let out a heavy breath, and felt that his chest, which was still a little stuffy just now, suddenly felt relieved, and his mood became much better. He waved his hand and asked the servant to lead the way, and walked slowly Go south.

"Sure enough, it's spacious, and it makes people feel comfortable just looking at it."

"No, Your Majesty, look over there. The two houses that are being demolished on the other side used to be large courtyards shared by the poorest families. I heard from the boys below that Qin Yu is planning to demolish all of this place. Yes, plant trees and build a pavilion for passers-by to shelter from rain and shade. By the way, there is also a latrine on this side, which is being tiled. Hehe, speaking of it, Qin Yu is also a The second man actually said that the passers-by around here don't have a place to go to the latrine on weekdays, so it's just random... The street is stinky, if it is built, the street can be cleaner, that is You can get a little more money selling manure... And there, there is a newly built place at the front of the street. It is a big bathhouse. , It’s really good, it saves the trouble at home. But who will come from the big girl and the little daughter-in-law? Many people say, this Qin Yu has fallen into the eyes of money, and I wish everyone who passed by would accept a few money."

The servant Xu also stayed in the palace very boringly, and he never stopped talking when he came out. Of course, no matter how much he thought about it, as a servant, a person who climbed up from the pile of bones in the palace is the same. Know what is measured, know how to do what you like, without appearing to be broken.Listen, one moment, one moment, that, all Qin Yu's gossip, and the corner of Emperor Wanli's mouth smiled.

"This guy is really good at making money. Although this business sounds incredible, it is really indispensable when you think about it. More importantly, these businesses of his are all new, and there is no dispute with the surrounding businesses. Grab, in this way, it is already guaranteed that no one will run on it, even if the earning is small, it can flow steadily, which can be regarded as an extra source of income for Jin Yiwei."

"Your Majesty thinks it's true. Isn't that what you said? The old slave heard that the gatekeeper of this bathhouse is a member of Jinyiwei. He said that... this bathhouse can also be regarded as half a dictation? What are you talking about looking for people?" ... This old slave doesn’t understand these things, but it sounds like a lot of people talking, if you say that, it’s indeed a good place to get news.”

What I don't understand, doesn't this servant also have his own factory, isn't that also a place for spying?At this moment, it is most likely that this is what the emperor means. If the emperor also thinks that this method is good, maybe in a few days, this Dongchang should also open a bathhouse.

Can the emperor not know his mind?To be honest, Dongchang was the product of the emperor's balance of Jinyiwei's authority. Regarding their struggle, the emperor was very clear about it.So he just took a look at the waiter, took the lead and left without saying anything.

What else can I say?Do it yourself if you have the ability!He has the right not to know.Hey, this level!Fortunately, he is the emperor, so he doesn't even leak such a bottom line, so he has to figure it out for himself.Why do you do this?Because if something goes wrong, it's convenient to throw the pot away!Don't forget that apart from Dongchang and Jinyiwei, the Xuncheng Yushi is not a vegetarian.Who knows what excuses those people who live by their mouths will find to attack.

"Look, which Qin Yu is that?"

After walking to the street, the emperor saw Ayu talking to someone from afar.The emperor was happy, he came here as he wanted, but he ran into him as soon as he came, what does this mean?It shows that this person has a lot of affinity with me, um, wearing this clothes, he is much more energetic than when he saw it last time, and his expression of speaking is quite capable. Thinking about what this kid has done recently... Sure enough , I am a bole, this is the discovery of the Maxima.
