Chapter 438 Is Dongfan More Shocking than Fujian?

"sure!"

Zhu Yunwen listened to Zhu Biao's answer, pursed his lips to hold back the excitement in his heart, and held the horse's rein a little tighter with his little hands. ‘6’ ‘9’ ‘s’ ‘h’ ‘u’ ‘x’ ‘.’ ‘c’ ‘o’ ‘m’

"Lord Lu..."

In the carriage behind, Hu Weiyong looked at Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunwen and his son, lowered the curtains of the carriage, and said with a smile: "Master Lu understands the character of the Crown Prince. From now on, when training the grandson of Emperor Yunwen, he will be trained in the direction of the Crown Prince..."

He didn't expect anything extra, Zhu Yunwen looked very much like the prince.

In the future, the prince will depose his grandson and make Zhu Yunwen the crown prince.

This possibility is very small.

Although the prince's light has been obscured a lot by Zhu Silang in recent years.

But whoever regards the prince as a foolish person will be in serious trouble.

"The more His Highness Yunwen resembles the Crown Prince, what the Crown Prince cannot see in his grandson will be seen in His Highness Yunwen, and he will inevitably like His Highness Yunwen more..."

On the other hand, grandson Zhu Xiongying.

He looks so much like Zhu Silang.

If there is an enmity between the imperial court and Zhu Silang's Yan clan in the future, when the prince sees his grandson, it will be like seeing Zhu Silang.

There is bound to be conflict.

One goes down and the other goes up.

The future will be interesting!

"The possibility of this situation happening is very high. Even if the Crown Prince does not depose the grandson, he will give His Highness Yunwen more fatherly love and give His Highness Yunwen greater power..."

When Lu Ben heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Greater power, if they have the support of the Overthrow Yan Alliance.

A hundred years later, the prince.

His Qilin'er can challenge Zhu Xiongying!

Lu Ben suppressed his excitement, clasped his fists, and his hands trembled slightly, "I will remember Xiang Hu's golden words!"

…

"uncle……"

Not far away, Chang Sheng caught up with Lan Yu on horseback and glanced vaguely in Zhu Biao's direction.

Mu Ying, Qu Neng, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and others who were with Lan Yu realized that Chang Sheng had something to say to Lan Yu, so they left one after another.

Qu Neng, Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu and other outstanding young people in the imperial army were named by Zhu Yuanzhang to accompany him on his southern tour.

Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose is also very simple.

In his mind, these younger generations will serve as the backbone of the Ming Dynasty's military reform in the future.

This military reform.

Zhu Yuanzhang learned the lessons from the previous training of the new army in the four towns, learned from the painful experience, and decided to carry out in-depth reforms.

Not to mention that all old military ethos should be swept away.

But the Ming Dynasty's millions of elites once reorganized and adapted.

It must reach the level of at least 80% of Zhu Diyan's army.

At the same time, we must rely on outstanding generals such as Lan Yu, Mu Ying, Qiu Fu, Qu Neng, and Zhu Neng to create several absolute elite aces.

As the most powerful fist of the Ming Dynasty!

These elite aces.

The goal is Zhu Di's first army town!

At least it should be on par with Army No. 1 Town!

Therefore, he took Qiu Fu and others on a southern tour and asked them to observe Zhu Di's new army as a whole.

…

Lan Yu withdrew her gaze and looked at Chang Sheng sternly. Before Chang Sheng could speak, she took the lead in warning: "I remind you that King Yan is the benefactor of our Chang Lan family. When you meet King Yan, keep your tail between your legs! Chang! Mao is dead, I am not pitiful at all. If you are like Chang Mao, even if my sister loves you, I will do it myself!"

He was so afraid that Chang Mao died.

This pro-nephew bitten Lu Dongbin and didn't recognize a good heart, so he jumped out and targeted Zhu Laosi.

There is a limit to the friendship between people.

Waste this friendship unscrupulously.

Everything will be lost.

During the Northern Expedition, some of the prince's actions had already made Mr. Zhu feel very cold.

If it weren't for Xiongying, Zhu Laosi raised and taught him as his son for several years.

I'm afraid Zhu Laosi...

At least, after the Northern Expedition.

Zhu Laosi didn't just commit a murder case in Guanzhong!

Mention Zhu Di.

Chang Sheng's face turned slightly pale and he shook his head hastily, "Uncle, even if I have a hundred courages, I would not dare to antagonize King Yan, and he is so good to Xiongying..."

After the news came back that the eldest brother Chang Mao had committed suicide.

Although he was a little happy.

But it was more about fear of Zhu Laosi.

Assassination!

In political struggles, assassinations are directly carried out!

Such bottomless means are too terrifying!

Seeing that Chang Sheng was really scared, Lan Yu changed the subject, "What do you want to say?"

Chang Sheng looked vaguely in Zhu Biao's direction again and whispered: "Uncle, is the Crown Prince being too kind to Zhu Yunwen? Will it threaten Xiongying?"

Lan Yu glanced in the direction of Zhu Biao, frowned and whispered, "If I don't do anything, you shouldn't do any small tricks either..."

After this warning, he was still uneasy and added: "After the Southern Tour, you brothers should follow your uncle to the demonstration area."

The men of their Chang family are really far behind compared to the Xu family.

Of course, Xu Huizu, Xu Zengshou, and Xu Yingxu of the Xu family can be as outstanding as they are now.

Zhu Laosi has made great contributions.

He is definitely not as good as Zhu Laosi.

But over the years, he has become completely different from his past self.

He believed that if he took these nephews with him and let them go to the military and work in rural communities in the demonstration area, they would definitely make progress.

He and Zhang Yu get along very well.

Zhang Yu is also a capable person.

I believe Zhang Yu is also willing to teach the Chang Sheng brothers.

…

As for Zhu Yunwen...

He was not prepared to express any attitude on this matter.

He believed that even if the prince liked Zhu Yunwen again, he would not be able to depose Xiongying.

As long as this bottom line remains unchanged.

It doesn't matter which child the prince gives more paternal love to.

"Which grandson does the prince like? This is the prince's family matter. We should not interfere. If we interfere, it will only cause the prince to be disgusted with us, and even against Xiongying. Do you understand?"

Chang Sheng lowered his head, feeling very uncomfortable, but nodded anyway.

…

The huge southern patrol team with different ideas slowly advanced.

…

Zhu Di landed at Hainingwei in Jiaxing Prefecture.

Shen Wang, Shen Zhi and his son came to greet him in person.

On the way to Huzhoufu.

When Shen Wang left Zhu Di's side because of something, Shen Zhi said with an apologetic look on his face: "Your Majesty, my uncle and second uncle should have come to greet the Prince and Princess..."

Initially, news of asset tax spread to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

When the local gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were powerful and resentful, they were full of hostility towards the prince.

Although the pressure on the first and second bedrooms is great.

But he also decided to withstand the pressure and come to Jiaxing Mansion to meet the prince.

"But after my uncle Gu Xuewen came back from Jinling and brought back the news about Jinling, many people from the first and second houses came out to oppose..."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "It doesn't matter..."

He can understand the eldest and second bedrooms of the Shen family.

After all, they still have to stay in the Central Plains.

Although what he did was a little unreasonable, he didn't bother to care about it.

Compared to the fact that the eldest and second eldest members of the Shen family did not come to greet him, he was more interested in the news about asset tax in Jinling. "Tell me in detail the news that your uncle brought back."

"After the prince's discussion on asset tax was reported back to Jinling, the gentry officials once again shouted and killed them. Taking advantage of the people's confusion about whether the asset tax was good or not, these people launched a campaign to stigmatize the asset tax. I heard that now, People in Jinling don’t dare to raise asset tax.”

Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, "This kind of situation should be prevented in advance when Yan Fan implements asset tax in the future."

Vested elites face reforms that harm their interests.

He likes to use people to stigmatize him most.

Don’t talk about this era.

It is to be placed in the era of popularization of education for future generations.

It can still work wonders.

Even if people are educated, they cannot understand some innovations that will relieve pain in the short term but are very beneficial in the long run.

"What about you, what do you think about the asset tax based on acres, houses, and shops?"

Shen Zhi smiled and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, this will definitely harm my interests. However, I am already so rich. I don't care about this small profit. And the implementation of asset tax is actually very beneficial. Like Minister Once such wealthy people become tax subjects and a government operates, it will be more gentle to ordinary people. People have money and business is easy to do. In fact, it is a good thing for everyone. "

After hearing about the prince’s asset tax idea.

He was even more optimistic about Yan Fan's future.

"The prince is actually setting up two tax subjects, canceling the land tax and head tax, and focusing on commercial tax. In fact, it means shifting the main body of agricultural tax in the past to commercial tax."

"As for the discussion of asset tax, it transfers the main target of tax collection from ordinary people to those who have more wealth."

"No matter in any dynasty, once people get rich, they must make a show of themselves, build a big house, support a group of servants, and buy land. As we people get more wealth, we should adjust it through taxes, and rural communities , The employee-share system is a direct wealth balance at the private level without the power of the government, avoiding the plucking of feathers and corruption at all levels. It takes commercial tax as the main body and combines asset tax to rebalance through power. to maintain the normal operation of the regime.”

"At the same time, whether it is a rural village community or a joint-stock system for employees, there is no restriction on the ability of those who can get more, and it is still fully given. Those who have ability in the private sector have become the leaders of an era."

…

The prince's system design is by no means the unrealistic unified world in ancient times.

Taking full account of the selfish side of human nature.

It also allows human nature to be selfish.

Just like a rural village community.

If you are particularly capable, earn your first pot of gold, and don’t want to stay in the rural community, you can leave.

Allowed to leave.

However, it has been established from the system that no one is allowed to appropriate rural villages and communities as their own.

Zhu Di was slightly surprised and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to understand so deeply. In the past, our Central Plains dynasties had a kind of elite economy and elite politics. Those who were capable, regardless of wealth or power, would get the most, which would eventually lead to wealth and Power is increasingly concentrated in a few people, causing irreconcilable conflicts, and ultimately the only solution is to change the government..."

"As for our Yan Fan, power must be appropriately distributed to the people at the bottom. At the same time, 40 to 50% of the wealth must flow to the people at the bottom. I call this economy the people's economy. Those of you who have the ability, through the local village communities and After the first wealth distribution of the employee stock system, and the second wealth distribution of business tax and asset tax, your wealth has been confirmed by the laws of the Yan Dynasty. "

"In this case, the wealth you received is completely just from the perspective of the Yan Fan system."

"From the common people level, your moral character can stand the test after the first distribution of wealth."

"The system recognizes you, and the people recognize you from a moral perspective. In fact, you are safer."

…

"In the future, within the next ten years, or even five or six years later, with the completion of the full implementation of rural village communes in the Ming Dynasty, wealth will inevitably explode. If the imperial court does not have the courage to establish a shareholding system, it will There will be a phenomenon that the rural areas are the people's economy, and thousands of provinces, capitals, prefectures and counties will form an elite economy. When the time comes, let's take a look overseas to see whether a comprehensive people's economy is better or a people's economy. Elite economics are better.”

After he gradually proposed and perfected the employee share system in Fujian.

He really wanted to push Ming Dynasty to comprehensively promote the employee-share system.

But at this time, his situation was getting more and more difficult. Later, the eldest brother even directly announced to the outside world that the imperial court would not fully promote the employment-based stock system.

He just gave up.

It happened that Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Zhenren were traveling in Fujian.

During a night conversation with each other, they advised him not to rush to promote the Ming Dynasty's employment stock system.

Keep Daming for comparison.

Only by comparison can we educate the people.

Only then can we teach people what path to choose.

"Your Majesty, when the time comes, in the thousands of cities within the Ming Dynasty, the conflict between the common people and the elite will be very acute!"

"It's hard to say now, let's wait and see." Zhu Di smiled and rode away.

As long as the vast rural areas remain in chaos.

There will be no chaos in Ming Dynasty.

If Big Brother doesn't do it, Xiongying will comprehensively promote the employee share system.

When the hero does it, he just needs to help him.

They are nothing more than dead spots.

But the educational effect on the people will be very significant!

Shen Zhi looked at Zhu Di's back, stunned.

"A bunch of idiots!"

At a certain moment, Shen Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

This is not just a lesson to the people.

It is also a lesson for the elite.

However, the elite within the Ming Dynasty may be in trouble at that time.

Master huge wealth.

As a result, the people complained.

I am afraid that the imperial court will find one or two fat pigs from time to time and kill them to alleviate people's resentment.

On the contrary, it is not as good as the elite under the rule of King Yan and Fan.

Wealth is affirmed and confirmed by morality and law.

Although the accumulated wealth is less, this part of the wealth is fair and clean.

Whether it is to go to Goulan to listen to music and squander money, to raise countless wives and concubines, or to own a mansion with thousands of acres, you can do it openly.

“The future is exciting!”

Shen Zhi described the future scene, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.

drive!

With a hearty smile, he urged his horse to catch up with Zhu Di.

…

Zhu Di arrived at Shen Mansion before Shengjia.

On the same day, Shen Rong, the eldest eldest son of the Shen family, and Shen Mao, the second eldest son of the Shen family, went to plead guilty in person and explained to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di didn't care.

I just asked in detail about some specific matters for welcoming the Holy Driver.

…

Two days later.

Zhu Yuanzhang arrived at Zhouzhuang, where the Shen family lived.

Zhu Di led a group of people from the Shen family to greet the holy driver outside Zhouzhuang.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

The mountains are shouting long live.

Countless pairs of eyes looked at Zhu Di's family of five, kneeling at the front.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying couldn't wait to get down from the imperial chariot.

"Get up, get up..." Zhu Yuanzhang quickly came to Zhu Di, bent down, and grabbed Zhu Di's arm, his voice was excited and slightly trembling.

Zhu Di stood up, smiled and whispered, "I thought my father was going to teach me a lesson this time."

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was filled with longing. When he heard the sound, he was instantly darkened and snorted angrily.

Ma Xiuying helped Xu Miaoyun, mother and son, and stared at them in annoyance.

This pair of living treasures, father and son.

Chongba misses his fourth son when he doesn't see him.

See you, father and son are so virtuous again!

Zhu Di saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was very 'injured' and said with a smile: "Father, we are still about ten miles away from the Shen family manor. Should we go to the Shen family manor to rest first or take a look on the way. The entire village of Zhouzhuang, with the help and support of the Shen family, has A rural village community has been fully built with a very high degree of refinement. In some details, Tuqiao Village cannot compare..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the Shen family behind Zhu Di and said, "Daddy, I'm not tired. Let's take a look at the achievements of rural village construction here."

During his southern tour, he also visited some rural villages built along the way.

To be honest, it's not satisfactory.

It’s just a superficial framework, and it mainly focuses on farming.

The rural industries that prospered in Jinling rural communities have not yet developed.

Zhu Di introduced the three heads of the Shen family to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Who is Shen Zhi?"

Shen Zhi was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said, "Shen Zhi, a commoner, pays homage to His Majesty."

"Explain it to us." Zhu Yuanzhang directly named Shen Zhi.

This scene made the first and second bedrooms of the Shen family quite disappointed.

Many people felt uncomfortable with the appointment of hundreds of civil and military officials in the imperial court.

It's clear to everyone.

The emperor favored Shen Zhi because of King Yan!

Shen Zhi headed the Shen family and walked in front with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Di slowed down and walked with Zhu Biao, Zhu Fang and others.

Looking at Zhu Yunwen being led by Zhu Biao's hand.

The surprise in Zhu Di's eyes flashed away, and then he asked with a smile: "Brother, Xiongying didn't come this time?"

Zhu Biao smiled and said: "I'm here. There must be people in the court, and the heroes will stay to supervise the country."

Zhu Di nodded and then talked to Zhu Xi and others.

Finally, he went to say hello to Lan Yu and others.

When Lan Yu saw Zhu Di, she took the lead and said with a smile: "King Yan, there are more and more people who hate you now!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh, "Marquis Yongchang, if you don't get jealous, you are a mediocre person."

Ha ha……

The surrounding generals such as Lan Yu and Qu Neng, as well as civilian officials such as Fang Xiaoru, Lian Zining, Tie Xuan, etc., suddenly laughed heartily.

The laughter made everyone turn their heads to look.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was startled by the laughter and looked back.

After everyone laughed.

Zhu Di asked: "Marquis Yongchang, how is the demonstration area? These herders and people are kind to me. I hope Marquis Yongchang can treat them well."

Lan Yu suppressed her smile and nodded solemnly: "Prince, don't worry, the Lan Yu now is different from the Lan Yu before. I will also control the military discipline and will never let rat droppings damage the demonstration area."

The demonstration area is the wealth that Zhu Laosi left to Xiongying!

In the future, Xiongying will implement Zhu Laosi's ideas.

The elites within the Ming Dynasty and even the military may have objections.

But within the Ming Dynasty, countless rural villages and demonstration areas will never do it!

Because of Zhu Laosi, we will unswervingly support Xiongying!

Because these people have all received favor from Zhu Laosi.

Unable to repay Zhu Laosi.

This gratitude will inevitably be transferred to the hero who has been cultivated and raised by Zhu Laosi personally for several years.

This is an extremely precious and important political wealth that Zhu Laosi gave to Xiongying and left in the Central Plains!

Of course, his state of mind is such that he can't even think of this.

It was when he and Zhang Yu teamed up to go to the demonstration area that His Majesty, Liu Bowen, and Li Shanchang came to him one after another and said this to him.

Today.

I am afraid that only these three people can see through what a huge political wealth Zhu Laosi left to Xiongying.

So he was grateful to Zhu Laosi from the bottom of his heart.

…

Lan Yu gathered her thoughts and pointed at Qu Neng and others behind her, "Your Majesty has appointed Qu Neng and his group of outstanding young generals to go to Yan Fan to observe your 50,000 elite army. How about we attack Luzon? Don’t you have no confidence?”

Zhu Di smiled.

"This time, we, Yan Fan, will demonstrate to you in actual combat what true infantry and artillery coordination is!"

Zhu Di's confident words fell on everyone's ears.

Qu Neng and others looked at each other one after another, with eagerness in their eyes.

Soon, a group of people gathered around Zhu Di.

There are the princes headed by Zhu Xi.

There were civil and military officials such as Lan Yu and Fang Xiaoru who were close friends with Zhu Di.

A group of people soon arrived at the first village in Zhouzhuang.

Shen Zhi took Zhu Yuanzhang to the village to run an embroidery workshop.

Everyone stood outside the windows and doorways to watch.

A group of young girls are sitting inside spinning silk and embroidery.

Courtiers with some literary background couldn't help but think of a poem when they saw this scene: The beautiful girl holds the needle with long brocade thread, and the slender jade finger collar is fragrant.

Shen Zhi introduced: "Your Majesty, when we first helped the surrounding villages to build rural communities, we established schools in these villages according to the guidance of the prince. These women all briefly learned the Three Character Classic and the Analects of Confucius, and then our Shen family sent embroiderers to teach These girls have learned embroidery, and their understanding of embroidery is very good. In just two or three years, their overall embroidery ability has surpassed that of our skilled embroiderers in Shen Family Xiufang. "

"Now, in every village, these girls are very precious. If other villages want to marry such a girl, they must agree to marry such a girl to the village in the future. Otherwise, they will have to pay a higher price. The betrothal gift, however, came with some problems..."

Ma Xiuying turned around and asked with interest: "What's the problem?"

These girls are not disliked by their parents.

On the contrary, she was very happy to be taken so seriously.

There are too many cases of drowning of baby girls in rural areas.

Many families, even if they raise daughters, mostly do it to exchange marriages between common people.

Being a woman.

The mother of the Ming Dynasty is the mother of a country in the world.

Of course she didn't want to see this kind of tragedy continue to happen.

There was nothing she could do until she could.

Since the establishment of the rural village community.

That has changed.

In Shecun, a rural village near Jinling, girls have more patience and advantages than men in raising chickens and pigs.

The status of girls in the hearts of their parents has gradually become more important.

Chuni from Tuqiao Village married into a neighboring village because she learned some math knowledge from Professor Lao Si.

He also became the leader of the rural village community.

…

Shen Zhi said with a smile: "Mother, in the villages in Zhouzhuang where there are girls, people are discussing whether the women in the family can get a share of the shares in the local village community. What will happen to them when they get married in the future? Take them away? Or something like that?"

"Many families with girls, as the family becomes rich, do not care about the bride price when marrying a daughter. Instead, they ask the husband's family to promise that if their daughter marries the other party's family, she must get a share of the stock. As a basis, even if the wife is divorced in the future, the husband's family cannot ask for it. This share has caused a lot of jokes and conflicts.”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly, turned his head, and waved to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di walked over quickly.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Lao Si, what suggestions do you have for this situation?"

Zhu Di looked around at everyone.

Looking at some civil servants, they were already angry and eager to express their opinions. They smiled and said: "I believe that the court does not need to be afraid of this. The development of things will inevitably be accompanied by the emergence of various new problems. This is an inevitable law." , and as women play an increasingly important role in creating wealth in the future, it is inevitable to benefit them.”

"My lords, there is a main wife and a concubine in your home. Why does the main wife have so much power?"

"In the final analysis, it is because the principal wife plays a very important role in the family, responsible for managing the harem, educating children and other responsibilities, so she needs to be given corresponding power. In the eyes of you gentlemen, concubines are just tools to please you and give birth to your children. Their value is humble, so they do not need to be given any power."

...

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that all the ministers bowed their heads in embarrassment, and he couldn't help laughing.

Some people still wanted to refute the fourth brother.

But the fourth brother pulled them out to make an example.

Do these people still have the face to refute?

Retracted his gaze and looked at Zhu Di.

This time, the fourth brother is different from before!

In the past, only when the hostile person took action, there was a limited counterattack.

But this time, without waiting for the other party to attack.

The fourth brother put on an aggressive posture.

"Father..." Zhu Di turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang, "I think the court can directly confirm in the form of law that in rural communities, when women get married, the main wife should get a share. As for how much, this power is left to the people to discuss."

Can't disrupt rural marriages because of this matter.

He is waiting for the population explosion in the Central Plains!

Women's interests are protected and the overall living environment in rural areas is improved, so they dare to have children.

He believes that this law is acceptable to the people.

As long as they don't divorce their wives.

This meat will rot in the pot anyway and will be passed on to their children and grandchildren.

Protecting women's rights can also boost women to play a more important role in the division of labor in production.

In the end, create greater wealth value.

Of course, those concubines are not within his consideration.

Even in the future.

This kind of woman has no dignity or power.

Will farmers take concubines in the future?

He feels that as long as they don't practice monogamy.

With wealth, it will definitely appear!

...

In addition to farming and breeding, Zhouzhuang's refined industries mainly rely on the Shen family to develop silk.

In terms of silk, it is extremely meticulous.

Another feature is the school supported and funded by the Shen family, and the farmland water conservancy projects that they helped to repair.

The visit ended that day.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave the Shen family a high evaluation in public.

He personally recognized the Shen family's status as a righteous merchant.

The Shen family, who had been walking on thin ice for more than ten years, finally breathed a sigh of relief and cried with joy.

That night.

In the study prepared by the Shen family for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Di smiled and handed a list to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang picked it up suspiciously and glanced at it, "These are some generals of the Fujian military. What are you doing?"

Liu Sheng, who was at the front, was a fierce general under Tiande.

Tiande gave up his military power and dispersed his generals to various provinces one after another.

Liu Sheng went to Fujian.

He still agreed.

Zhu Di rubbed his hands, "I have newly expanded four mixed brigades. I don't have enough generals under my command. Some generals were forcibly promoted, and their command ability and experience are not enough. I hope that the emperor can support several of my generals."

Four mixed brigades.

The battalion commander of the first regiment of the army can indeed be promoted.

He did so.

Zhou Xianjue, Sun Yuanchu, Zhou Lang and others were successively promoted to the chief and deputy commanders.

But there is still a mixed brigade, and there is really no candidate.

Forcibly promoted.

It is not good for the construction of the army.

And it is irresponsible to the brothers.

If their abilities are not well honed, forcibly promoted to a high position, that would harm them.

When expanding, he let the brothers compete, and he said all these things.

The brothers had no objection to this.

According to Shen Ren, Liu Sheng has been secretly studying the new army drill manual in recent years, and has formed a battalion of new troops under his command.

When he went to Fujian, he also tested Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng is competent for the commander of the fifth mixed brigade.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di rubbing his hands and smiling, and couldn't help but smile. He picked up the red pen and wrote a word "approved" on the list, and handed the list to Zhu Di, "Approved!"

The fourth son was out there.

Except for the Fujian finance and taxation last year, he almost didn't give any support.

It's just a few people.

Liu Sheng, Shen Ren and others who are close to the fourth son.

They may not be reused in the future.

So, let them follow the fourth son.

"Thank you, father!"

...

After Zhu Yuanzhang rested for three days at Shen's house, he continued to travel south.

Half a month later.

Arrived in Jian'an.

Ye Mao and Shen Ren led the civil and military forces to welcome Jian'an with great momentum.

The imperial carriage slowly drove into the city.

"This..."

"Is this Jian'an?!"

...

When entering the city, everyone was shocked.

The main roads in the city had been cleared, and the people all stood on both sides of the street, shouting long live and kneeling to welcome.

What shocked everyone was the size of the main road in the city!

It was big enough for eight carriages to run side by side!

This size was comparable to the Hongwu Avenue in Jinling City!

On both sides of the street stood rows of red brick houses with wooden tile roofs.

Everyone had seen this kind of house.

Tuqiao Village and the surrounding villages all had this kind of building.

But there were more in Jian'an!

Almost all the houses were of this kind as far as the eye could see.

Zhu Yuanzhang lifted the curtain and looked at the rows of brand new houses, and at the people kneeling along the street, with ruddy faces. The clothes they wore were not silk and satin, but they were all made of rural cloth, but there were no patches!

Adults and children, women and the elderly, were all like this!

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Di, who was sitting next to him, and pointed outside: "Jian'an used to be one of the poorest counties in Fujian. Now it is so rich that the people don't even wear patched clothes?"

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing and shook his head: "Father, how is it possible? This is like having relatives come home or going out. People always dress appropriately to welcome their father's new clothes. On weekdays, they are in the city. When working in the business, you wear uniform clothes, and when you go home, you wear old clothes. "

"I don't know if the Jian'an County magistrate required us to wear new clothes uniformly, but I am certain that at least everyone in Jian'an will have a new set of clothes."

There are hundreds of large and small businesses concentrated in Jian'an City.

Among them, there are more than 130 transit warehousing warehouses built.

They all adopt the employment share system.

The common people have the ability to make themselves a new piece of clothing.

What's more, the homespun cloth produced in the local village community in Jian'an is sold locally and the price is very cheap.

"As for these buildings, they were built by merchants. The merchants purchased the original homesteads from the people and built street shops. Before the people got it, they went to other places in the city to continue building such brick and tile houses..."

Jian'an has actually completed a round of real estate development in the past few years.

However, this round of real estate was spurred by economic development.

It was not promoted by the Jian'an government.

The Jian'an government only arranged plans under his instructions while ensuring the interests of the people.

"There are several villages near Jian'an City that are rich in clay and have developed brick-making industries. According to Ye Mao's report, nowadays, when people in Jian'an improve their living environment, they often give priority to this kind of red brick, wooden roof and tile-roofed houses, which are more affordable than buying wood, bricks and stones. More durable than adobe and slightly better looking.”

…

Zhu Yuanzhang stayed in Fujian for two months.

I saw that with the prosperity of Fujian, county schools were expanding everywhere, and more and more schools were opened in rural villages.

Under the leadership of Zhu Di, we visited the tea mountains shrouded in clouds and mist in Fujian.

I witnessed with my own eyes a group of young girls, carrying baskets on their backs, singing cheerful folk songs and picking early spring tea among the rows of tea trees.

We also tasted some persimmons dried in local villages.

Cornmeal and red date powder are used to make red date cake.

Plant sugar cane with the people.

I have witnessed how some rural communities use acorns as concentrated feed, combined with corn straw produced by winemaking, to feed cattle, sheep, pigs and horses.

…

The accompanying officials became more and more silent...

After reading it, everyone understood why Fujian, a province at the bottom of the list, became the third largest province in terms of taxation in just a few years.

Everyone also understands.

This continues.

If Zhili cannot quickly complete rural village communities within one or two years, it will definitely be surpassed by Fujian.

You know, Zhili has a larger population, a wider area, more arable area, and more fertile land!

Even so, after looking at Fujian, no one is confident!

Can Zhili fully complete rural village communes within one or two years?

Even if it is completed, there will be no employment share system.

How many years can Zhili’s lead be maintained?

Two months later.

The Holy Emperor arrived in Min County.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m tired, or because I’ve been hit too hard and the pressure is too heavy.

All the officials were in bad spirits.

After arriving, they all gathered together and went to 'rest'!

Zhu Biao's study room.

Zhu Yunwen holds a piece of persimmon in one hand and grinds ink with the other.

Zhu Biao bent over his desk and wrote down his insights from observing along the way.

Zhu Yunwen pursed his lips and finally couldn't help it anymore, "Father, is Fourth Uncle's Dongfan more advanced than Fujian? It's even more shocking!"

Before he came, he had always felt that what Zhu Qihua said was just imaginary and bragging.

But watching all the way, it shocked him so much!

The shock of Fujian was left in the Ming Dynasty after all.

But if Dongfan is more shocking than Fujian...

He doesn't want to see this!

Zhu Biao paused his writing, raised his head, and looked at Zhu Yunwen with a smile, "Shocking?"

Zhu Yunwen pursed his lips, not wanting to admit it, but he had to admit, "My child feels that outside Fujian and the rest of our Ming Dynasty are like two different worlds!"

Not even Jinling is as prosperous and active as Fujian.

Along the way.

The road is full of carriages pulling goods.

Whether it is the driver driving the cart, the woman picking tea, or the people working in the fields.

You can always hear the laughter of these people.

Such a scene is not common even in Jinling!

In the past two months, whenever my grandfather took a break, he always looked very ugly.

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Father, I don't know what Dongfan is like. Only when we arrive can we know. After we arrive, take a good look, and in the future, you and your brother will build our Ming Dynasty together!"

"Our Ming Dynasty does not necessarily have to follow the path of Dongfan or Fujian."

"We can also find a path that suits us, but we must observe and learn."

Zhu Yunwen nodded heavily.

He will definitely not let Yan Fan surpass Ming Dynasty!

Grandpa said it.

If there is such a sign, the imperial court can use the power of thunder to kill Yan Fan!

"Father, does the imperial grandfather want to affirm the Fujian model and establish Fujian as a region directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court?" This is what his grandfather asked him to ask.
