Chapter 540 Return to the Old Place, Not Allowed to Enter the City!

Tie Xuan was shocked by the scenery along the way in Fujian!

Originally, he thought that the influx of more than one million people into Min County in just a few days was shocking enough.

It is enough to prove that King Zhu Di of Yan is unparalleled in Fujian, and even completely exceeds the influence of His Majesty today.

But when the train leaves the scope of Min County.

What was even more shocking was the shock to his soul.

Min County covers a radius of hundreds of miles.

Along the railway line, you can look around as you walk.

There are simple tents everywhere.

Dense and chaotic oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages...

Burning bonfires illuminate the entire railway line brightly at night.

as the train passes by.

There were countless dense crowds, bringing the old and supporting the young.

Common people, scholars, and local magnates from Fujian stood up one after another and stood on both sides of the railway line.

Hold your fists and bow.

Chant!

"Welcome the prince and princess to return to Fujian!"

"The prince and the princess are thousands of years old!"

…

As the train moved forward, the roar of the steam engine was suppressed by this shout almost every moment.

Tie Xuan was shocked and also very worried.

So many people crowded along the railway line.

Even if there is a locomotive opening the road ahead, monitor it.

That also means the supervision is not perfect.

What if someone with evil intentions gets involved in the crowd and installs explosives on the railway after the locomotive passes by?

You know, the terrain of Fujian is mountainous.

Ahead, you have to pass through several tunnels in succession.

If something went wrong while the train was passing through the tunnel, it wouldn't matter if he was buried with him.

The war and turmoil caused by it made him determined to die and never redeem himself.

He is the sinner in the history of the Central Plains!

With this feeling in mind, Tie Xuan ordered the train to stop when it came to a place where there were no villages around, it was a secluded wilderness, and there were no people.

Send people to the front to discourage people along the route from evacuating.

At the same time, seek contact with the locomotive leading the way.

Zhu Di did not stop him.

He did not inform the court, but he killed first and then reported, and went inland via Fujian, which left an excuse for criticism.

As a guest, you cannot instruct the host.

What's more, Tie Xuan's move was also for his safety.

Therefore, even if you are in a hurry to rush to Jinling, you can only restrain your impatience.

The moon is full and empty.

The entire land was illuminated by the moonlight.

Even though it’s the end of the year.

But Fujian’s location doesn’t have much of a winter atmosphere.

Zhu Di and Zhang Sanfeng were walking under the moonlight not far from the railway line.

Looking at the hazy and dense mountain forests on the hillside in the distance, it was not difficult for Zhu Di to guess that the trees in the mountain forests must be artificially planted economic trees.

Fruit trees, apricot trees and the like.

The development of rural areas in Fujian can be said to be the most similar to that of Yanhua in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps the improvement and popularization of water conservancy construction cannot keep up with that of Yanhua.

But today during the day, what I saw along the way was that it was also very developed and complete.

Permanent water channels made of cement masonry and water-powered waterwheels erected along the river can be seen everywhere.

Some sloping lands and mountainous lands unsuitable for growing crops have also been reclaimed and planted with various cash crops.

Zhang Sanfeng suddenly heard that Zhu Di was silent and followed Zhu Di's gaze.

He smiled and said: "This economic forest, the old Taoist happened to be here before. It belongs to a local gentry..."

After a slight pause, Zhang Sanfeng seemed to hesitate, but in the end he couldn't help but ask: "The old Taoist knows that in Yanhua, there are no big gentry landlords like ours who own thousands or even ten thousand hectares of land, so Yanhua's rural villages The society can benefit all farmers under Yanhua’s rule.”

"But when the prince was promoting rural village communities in the Central Plains, he seemed to have forgotten that the tenant farmers who were bound by a personal contract and subordinate to the gentry and landlords did not have any land with them. Even their houses and even the land used for tombs, It also belongs to the gentry and landlords. In fact, they are the most miserable.”

“After Yanhua’s advanced agricultural machinery poured into the Central Plains, in order to earn more profits, the gentry landlords began to invest in a large number of animal-powered agricultural machinery. At the same time, they ruthlessly abandoned the excess labor force. The conscientious gentry landlords just drove the people out. Their land was released to them, allowing them to make a living on their own, but many unscrupulous gentry landlords resold their tenant farmers' deeds to factory owners at high prices."

"These tenant farmers have been enslaved for generations, but in the end, when they have no value, the gentry and landlords want to squeeze out every last bit of value from them. This is against the laws of heaven!"

Zhu Di suddenly turned around, and before Zhang Sanfeng moved his lips and wanted to continue, he asked with a smile: "When Zhang Sanfeng was not detached from the world, it was said that he was also a powerful gentry..."

"I also heard that when my father established the Ming Dynasty, he recruited Zhenren Zhang, but he refused. Everyone said that Zhenren Zhang is the leader. These old and young people who came from the Yuan Dynasty are dissatisfied with the restrictions imposed on you by my father. "

…

This kind of statement exists in this world.

More to come.

Especially those sour literati who discredited his father's period.

Zhang Sanfeng was not solicited, and was repeatedly used as an example by these sour people.

Nothing else.

Zhang Sanfeng's influence among ordinary people is large enough.

The people are simple and short-sighted.

Public opinion propaganda.

It is similar to establishing a person like Zhang Sanfeng and saying some sour words, which is the 'magic technique' that those sour literati like to use most.

The results are often quite good.

For example, if a certain wealthy person with great influence does not come back, he will be threatened by Yunyun.

Looking at these remarks from his current height, they are really ridiculous.

Zhang Sanfeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled, shook his head and said, "It's just the conspiracy of a small group of young people who claim to be smart. Old Taoist, Your Majesty has never taken these remarks to heart."

"The world is settled, the Taoist master is transcendent, he just doesn't want to be contaminated by the mundane world..."

"Moreover, the old Taoist who came from the late Yuan Dynasty knows very well that people from outside the country like us do not have any experience in governing the world. If a person is arrogant in a field that he is not good at and speaks nonsense, it will only harm the country and the people. And we, the Central Plains, have been doing this since ancient times. Since then, there has been a separation of politics and religion. People outside the world pursue things outside the world, and people in the world pursue worldly things. Just right, just right, the secular people are guided by the political power and their spirits are placed in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. This is the yin and yang of Tai Chi. , opposing each other, yet unified with each other.”

If it weren't for this prince, he really admired him.

If not, he was worried that something might happen to the prince on his way back to the court, so he wanted to use his reputation to escort him to Jinling safely.

This time, he will not get involved in the world of mortals.

Zhu Di also admired the words of Master Zhang very much, especially the mutual opposition and mutual unity in the final summary.

He nodded and said: "The tenant farmers who belong to the gentry and landlords are indeed a group of people who were selectively forgotten during the period of change in the imperial court."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

"If the gentry had been forced, the reform would have been impossible to carry out. I also hate the gentry group. But eradicating this group will take a long time and cause such great turmoil. Moreover, the damage to culture will be immeasurable. , No matter how decadent this group is, they have to admit that they control knowledge and they are responsible for the inheritance of culture. "

This group has created many rotten things.

But this group has also been passing on those good essences.

Even if this group only talks about what they mean and is high-sounding, inheritance is inheritance.

"At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the gentry clan was almost eradicated. We have experienced a cultural gap. The gentry group that emerged has, in my opinion, less personal requirements and personal morals than the previous clan clan clans."

There is no doubt about this.

Overall quality.

The gentry group cannot keep up with the former gentry clan even if they are flattering.

…

After Zhu Di briefly explained why this area was not moved in the first place, he immediately changed the subject.

He knows it very well.

This real person mentioned this issue.

Not asking him why.

With his detached Taoism, how could he not know the reason for the compromise between him and his father on this issue.

This real person should want to know more about how to solve this problem.

"As advanced agricultural machinery was put into use, a large number of tenant farmers who belonged to the gentry landlords were ruthlessly driven out. If industry develops at this time, industry can absorb them. Moreover, industrialization also requires a large number of professional industrial workers."

“The factories run by rural village cooperatives are various light industrial factories that rely on farmland output. At first, they were small handicraft workshops. Eventually, with the accumulation of technology and capital, they were upgraded to small factories with advanced equipment. When rural cooperatives compete in "After regional alliances begin to appear, these advanced small factories will continue to be upgraded to medium, large, and super large factories."

"In the future, dozens, hundreds, or even hundreds of rural villages will merge and join forces, land resources will be integrated, and resource utilization will be more efficient. At that time, rural village society will appear, with super-large factories with tens of thousands of people..."

Zhang Sanfeng was stunned when he heard this.

Is this still a rural area?

He could not imagine how much influence farmers would have in such a rural area.

"And there will be some technical factories and heavy industries in the city. These industries require a large number of people. Originally, if the imperial court could implement the employee share system earlier, it would be able to absorb and accommodate the people who were driven out by the gentry and landlords. Training and training of junior industrial workers will pave the way for urban industry in the future.”

Unfortunately, the imperial court has always been hesitant and constrained in this regard.

This resulted in a situation where millions of landless people poured into the city and found it difficult to survive, squeezing out the livelihood of the people in the original city.

The eldest brother originally promised him a population of three million.

In fact, the eldest brother also knows it very well.

He couldn't solve this problem in a short period of time.

After weighing the pros and cons, I finally chose to throw the burden to him.

"You don't have to worry, real people. In the future, these problems will always be solved slowly..."

swish swish...

Zhu Di's words were interrupted by the sound of footsteps coming from behind.

The two turned around.

Then he saw Tie Xuan, leading a few soldiers, walking over in a hurry.

"Your Majesty." Tie Xuan saluted with clasped fists, "It's time to leave. Your worries are unnecessary..."

He was worried that there were ordinary people along the way, so Xiaoxiao infiltrated among them and planted explosives on the railway line.

After investigation, it was completely redundant.

The powerful people, scholars, and people in Fujian have long expected this.

During his investigation, he learned that all the people along the way were checking the railway line inch by inch.

There are a few suspicious people with evil intentions.

They were all discovered by the common people and sent to nearby counties by powerful men and scholars.

"It seems that I am in Fujian, which is equivalent to having a golden bell." Zhu Di joked and patted Tie Xuan on the shoulder, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, the successive officials of Fujian. If you hadn't persisted in implementing the two concepts and two propositions, the people of Fujian would not be so grateful to me."

When he left.

At most, it just built a framework for Fujian.

The subsequent details were filled and developed.

All were done by successive officials of Fujian, led by Tie Xuan.

His thanks were not casual and general.

"Since there are no safety hazards, let's set off as soon as possible."

After speaking, Zhu Di took the lead in walking towards the carriage.

Tie Xuan stared at Zhu Di's back in a daze.

To be honest, the people's spontaneous inspection of railway hazards gave him a great shock!

This just proves once again how terrifying the influence of this prince in Fujian is!

...

Tick-tick...

It drove all night.

The next day.

The train entered Jian'an Station to replenish water and coal.

After driving for a day and a night, we arrived at Jian'an, and then set off again. In one or two hours, we can drive out of Fujian.

Outside the station.

The cheers of the people came one after another.

Zhu Di stood on the platform of the station under martial law.

He did not plan to leave the station.

Although, although he wanted to see the changes in Jian'an County, where he used to be the county magistrate, over the years.

But time did not allow it.

I hope that I will not have any conflicts with my eldest brother when I go to Jinling.

On the way back, I asked for permission and then went to Jian'an by land through Fujian.

Tie Xuan accompanied him and stood beside Zhu Di.

Looking at Zhu Di, he looked at the sky outside the station.

He knew what Zhu Di was thinking.

He had built the county government with his own hands, but now he came back after more than ten years, but he could not go to see it.

I'm afraid anyone would feel bad.

Tie Xuan pointed to the north, where thick smoke was billowing. "Your Highness, that is Jian'an Industrial Zone. In the 32nd year of Hongwu, we introduced steam engine technology and rebuilt the industrial zone with the help of Yanhua engineers. Now, 50% of the production lines in the industrial zone have been steamed."

...

"There are five industrial zones in Fujian, three of which are the best developed. One is Jian'an, where Your Highness was in charge, one is Minxian, where Young Master Xu was in charge, and the other is Fuzhou."

...

"We are also using the power of Fujian to build these two industrial zones. In addition, with the Fuzhou Industrial Zone, we will realize the Fujian Construction Strategy proposed by the Yanhua Chamber of Commerce, with Jian'an and Minxian as the two wings and Fuzhou as the center, one center, two wings flying together!"

"Ultimately, we will realize the economic structure of Jian'an radiating to surrounding provinces and Minxian radiating overseas. We estimate that as long as we can complete the economic construction strategy proposed by the Yanhua Chamber of Commerce, Fujian can at least maintain its position as the largest tax-paying province for 20 years!"

Zhu Di smiled.

This economic strategy.

On the surface, it was proposed by the Yanhua Chamber of Commerce and the Fujian Chamber of Commerce.

But in fact, it was specially tailored for Fujian by the Yanhua Economic Research Department.

Support Fujian through the semi-official form of the Chamber of Commerce.

Zhu Di reminded: "As an official, you pursue the honor of being the largest tax-paying province, which is beyond reproach, but you must also remember not to be single-minded and only think about pursuing this honor. It is indeed your responsibility to provide as much tax as possible to the court, but don't forget that you are also the parents of the government and have the obligation to make the people's lives better with the increase in taxes paid."

"The prince's teachings are engraved in my heart." Tie Xuan sincerely clasped his fists.

At this moment, Tie Xuan was also worried.

He couldn't be sure.

What would happen after leaving Fujian and entering Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Although he had asked the locomotive leading the way in front to spread the news that he and Zhang Sanfeng were accompanying.
