"Look, our Ming Dynasty is so big!"
Zhu Yunxi said, drawing a big circle on the ground with his toes, "This is our Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Gaochi nodded half-understanding.
"Jiangnan, the most important places in Ming Dynasty are so big!" Zhu Yunxi then drew a small circle within the big circle and continued, "Jiangnan is actually a general term, and not all places in Jiangnan are rich places.
.For example, Huguang is Guangzhou, and Fujian is Quanzhou and Fuzhou, right?"
"The essence of our Ming Dynasty is actually in this part of Zhili and Zhejiang, right?"
Zhu Gaochi nodded again, seeming to understand something.
"Look, this place is so small, but all the money is here." Zhu Yunxi said, "And because it is close to the capital, it attracts money from all over the world to come here. Isn't this the truth?"
"Money has to beget money. In such a small area, there will be less and less land in the future, business will become more and more important, and prices will be steep and people will live in luxury. If you think about it carefully, is this a good thing?"
Zhu Gaochi remained silent, but there was worry in his eyes.
Zhu Yunxi emphasized his tone, "All the money in the world is here, it's abnormal. All the money is coming here, and if it doesn't flow out, sooner or later this small place will be unable to sustain itself."
As he spoke, he took another sip of tea and said, "Our Ming Dynasty is so big, and the wealth in this area is an anomaly. No matter how good it is, it's only the people at the top who are good. The lives of the people are actually not as good as in other places.
Are the people living a prosperous life?"
"Take the Central Plains as an example. The grain production is not as good as that of Huguang, but the advantage is that there is more land. According to the Yellow Book of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the average farmer in the Central Plains now has more fields per capita than in the South."
"And prices are low. If you plant some land, raise livestock, weave cloth and grow vegetables, you can always make money all year round."
"Close to the capital? Are they flowing out? Are all the money going this way?" Zhu Gaochi was silently pondering what Zhu Yunxi just said.
"So, the emperor agrees with me...?"
"I agree, but now is not the time!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "We in China have always been top-down, not bottom-up. If the capital is in the north, the north and the south will be connected. If it is in the south, then all of them will come here.
Already."
"Besides, the capital is in the north, and the demand in the north is greater. In the small circle I just drew, various outputs can be exported and can also go north. If it is along the canal, how many cities can be supported? Just the goods coming from the south to the north.
, how much tax can be collected every year?”
"The Emperor has a clear vision for thousands of miles!" Zhu Gaochi admired in his heart, and what he said was sincere.
To be honest, what he proposed to move the capital was based on military considerations. But what Zhu Yunxi saw was the economic circulation and geopolitics of the entire Ming Dynasty.
"To be rich together is to be truly wealthy, but this is not something I can do alone!" Zhu Yunxi continued to smile, "So I asked you to come to the South Study Room as the Counselor. This is not a temporary move, but a real hope.
Someone please help me!"
"It's over! I seem to be tempted by what he said!" Zhu Gaochi thought to himself, "It seems that I admire him a little!"
"In the future, you don't have to worry so much. If you need to make suggestions, just make suggestions. If I do something wrong, just speak out. If you have any good ideas, don't hide them!" Zhu Yunxi continued to laugh...caset
"I'm stupid to speak out!" Zhu Gaochi smiled inwardly, "I can only listen to what you have to say!"
"Although I brought up the matter of moving the capital, it is of great importance..."
"So I say now is not the time!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Let's, monarch and ministers, join hands and take it slow, step by step, one day it will all fall into place!"
After finishing speaking, he turned his head again to look at the river full of reflections of lights, and whispered, "It's beautiful here, but it's too frivolous to kill the spirit! The warm wind makes tourists drunk, and they only call Hangzhou Bianzhou!"
Li Jinglong next to him listened for a long time with his ears propped up, and he only understood half of what he said.
But seeing Zhu Yunxi looking at the painted boat in the distance at this moment, he smiled in a low voice and said, "Your Majesty, if you are interested in elegance, why don't you go and sit over there?" He continued to smile, "I know a good place, those
Girls are all just entertainers..."
"Go and have a look!" Zhu Yunxi stood up and said with a smile.
"One of you is sleeping and the other is giving you a pillow. It's so perfect!" Zhu Gaochi cursed again in his heart.
Zhu Yunxi seemed to realize that he agreed too quickly, and said with a smile, "I have been in the palace all day, and the work of writing documents is rare today... Li Jinglong, what did you say that!"
"You've got half a day's leisure!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "You have to balance work with rest!"
"That's right, balance work and rest!" Zhu Yunxi laughed loudly.
~~
Li Jinglong had already arranged these matters.
Two small sailboats brought dozens of people to the center of the river, to a painted boat with red lanterns hanging on it.
Zhu Yunxi boarded the ship with the help of Li Jinglong. He frowned slightly when he saw the word Lan Xiang on the colorful flags fluttering on the bow of the ship, "Isn't this word so familiar?"
"You have such good eyesight!" Li Jinglong laughed in a low voice, "Xie Jin's handwriting!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The imperial court clearly stated that officials are not allowed to enter or leave Fireworks Willow Alley, but these civil servants and talented people still can't help it!"
These words immediately made Zhu Gaochi, who was behind him and had finally boarded the boat, roll his eyes and thought to himself, "Everyone like you who is the emperor is out to enjoy themselves, so of course the officials of other people are well behaved!"
"The owner of this boat is called Lan Xiang!" Zhu Yunxi asked in a low voice as he walked towards the cabin.
"Lanxiang is the stage name of this girl. Her real name is Chunniang!" Li Jinglong laughed and said, "Recently, she has become famous on the Qinhuai River because she is good at singing Liu Ci. Miss Lanxiang is different from other women. If
If you are not an elegant person, you will never see it no matter how much money you spend!"
Zhu Yunxi stopped and asked, "Are you an elegant person?"
After saying that, without waiting for Li Jinglong's reply, he bent down and entered the cabin.
Li Jinglong is not an elegant person, but he is definitely not an ordinary person.
The Huafang doesn't look big from the outside, but it's unique inside. The decoration is simple and elegant, with a little bit of tea.
It seems that they have been prepared in advance. The table is already filled with drinks, dried fruits, fresh fruits and other items.
The front of the cabin was separated by a gauze curtain, and a woman wearing a gauze scarf bowed slowly while holding her pipa when everyone came in.
"I'm still holding my pipa, half-hiding my face!" Zhu Yunxi sat down and said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the boat beneath him seemed to be shaking.
After taking a closer look, it turned out that Zhu Gaochi was walking in a hurry, and he staggered and leaned against the cabin before he could barely stand still.
"Sit next to me!" Zhu Yunxi said.
Zhu Gaochi bowed his hands in salute, then lifted up his skirt and sat down.
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi felt shaken again.
"I thought there was an earthquake?" Zhu Yunhe said with a teasing smile.
Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes.
"It's not a good thing that you're fat!" Zhu Yunxi grabbed a handful of melon seeds and whispered, "Look, you've only taken a few steps and you're covered in sweat on your forehead?"
"I don't want to get fat either, what can I do?" Zhu Gaochi muttered in his heart and said, "What you are saying is that I will definitely have more in the future..."
"Listen to what she sings!"
At this time, the light behind the gauze curtain suddenly dimmed, making the figure behind the gauze curtain even more graceful.
Suddenly, the sound of beads falling on a jade plate sounded, and the pipa played softly.
Then the red lips opened slightly, and the soft and waxy Wu language echoed around the beams, "The southeast is prosperous, the three Wu cities, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times..."
"Is it Liu Yong's Wanghai Tide?" Zhu Yunxi said, cracking melon seeds.
"Yes, Liu Sanbian's poem is suitable for today's occasion..."
"Stop talking!" Zhu Yunxi waved his hands and said, "Listen to the music!"
"You asked me first!" Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes.
"Smoke willow painted bridges, wind curtains and green curtains, hundreds of thousands of homes..."
It has to be said that this woman's singing skills are quite impressive. Wu Nong's soft words were mellow and graceful, which made everyone in the cabin go crazy for a while.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the boat.
"My uncle has already booked the venue for the afternoon. How dare you book it for someone else?"
"Do you believe that grandpa demolished your boat?"
Zhu Gaochi's face suddenly changed, his eyes filled with horror.
"The third child?"
