The industries in Honghezhuang cannot be completely shut down because of Zhu Youdong's move south: China is really too big. If we want to have an impact on the national economy through "emerging" industries, we definitely can't have just one production base. Moreover, as a city with less than six As a child aged 10 to 18, Zhu Youdong had to leave some "hostages" when he left Wanli so far. Therefore, the property of Honghe Village may be adjusted due to Zhu Youdong's move south, but it must not be completely closed.

Originally, Zhu Youdong planned for Shen Li, the British Duke and Ning Yuanbo to jointly guard this industry: you can't trouble Wanli often, after all, he is the emperor first, and then someone's grandfather. In this triangle In the chain, the upright Shen Li is a very important link: with his existence, the civil servants cannot be unified, and as long as the civil servants do not have a unified stance, the British government alone can settle more than 99% of the issues. Trouble……

Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes. After all, Zhu Youdong was just a history buff and not an expert on Ming history. How could he remember the year when Shen Li became an official?

After letting off a long sigh and sending Shen Li away, Zhu Youdong welcomed Wen Tiren.

"Mr. Wen, there is such a thing..."

Although he was sitting, Wen Tiren, who always kept his body slightly leaning forward, turned his eyes flexibly after listening carefully to Zhu Youdong's narration: "I congratulate my grandson, the young eagle spreads its wings, it will be today."

"Ha~~Mr. Wen, the young eagle flew out of the cliff. It may soar to heaven and earth, or it may fall off the cliff and be shattered into pieces."

"What does Your Highness need me to do?"

Smart man! Zhu Youdong twitched the corner of his mouth: "Mr. Wen, you and Gu Ke have been teachers and students for the past two years, and you are one of Gu's most trusted people. Now, Gu is going to Nanjing to take charge, and there are many things that must be done. Mr. Wen."

As we all know, Nanjing also has six tribes. However, there is no emperor in Nanjing now, and there has not been a prince like a prince sitting in Nanjing for more than a hundred years. Therefore, the actual political status and level of the six tribes in the south are weaker than those in the six tribes in the north.

Today's Southern Six Ministries are largely nursing homes and exiles (the emperor or powerful ministers don't like a certain minister, but it's not easy to get rid of them directly, so they send such ministers to the Southern Six Ministries to hang them up).

Of course, among the six southern ministries, the Ministry of War still has very real power. The Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for collecting taxes from the four Jiangnan provinces surrounding Yingtianfu. This amount accounts for more than 50% or more of the national income of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs also pinches Considering the salt introduction and household registration across the country, it can be said that economically, the Nanjing Household Department is the real top priority. Therefore, some young officials were sent to the Southern Sixth Department by their bosses: raise the level first!

In Zhu Youdong's original plan, he wanted to use this trip south to transfer Wen Tiren to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites as a minister: After all, Jiangnan is still a place where people gather, and Zhu Youdong's career in the future will be inseparable from a large number of talents. Although the Nanjing Ministry of Rites can neither interfere Beijing's joint examination cannot dominate Yingtian's provincial examination. But with the title of Minister of Rites, Wen Tiren can openly inspect schools in Jiangnan provinces and contact students from Jiangnan provinces...

But now that Shen Li is about to take office, this plan is obviously no longer possible. In the environment where Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi have been released, and Lu Kun will definitely resign after Shen Li takes office. Lao Wen is already Zhu Youdong's side. In terms of official coordination ability alone, The most reliable person.

"Your Highness, as your Highness's minister, it is natural for me to be driven by His Highness. Whether I follow His Highness southward or stay in the capital for Your Highness, I will be happy to do so."

"Well...Mr. Wen, that's what I think..."

"I understand, everything will be arranged by His Highness."

After seeing off Wen Tiren, Zhu Youdong met Zhang Yicheng, Xu Guangqi, Zhao Shijie, Matteo Ricci, Wei Zhongxian, Cao Sanxi and others.

Under the premise that Lao Wen must stay in Beijing, Zhang Yicheng must go south. Unfortunately, the official rank of the number one scholar is too low now. No matter how hard Zhu Youdong moves, he cannot get him to be a minister in the Southern Sixth Department. So he can only retire.

Secondly, Zhu Youdong's plan was to arrange Zhang Yicheng to Yingtian Mansion.

Of course, Xu Guangqi and Zhao Shizhen will also go south: Honghe Village will only be a production base in the future. The R&D Center must follow Zhu Youdong. Not only are they leaving, but also the various craftsmen who have worked in Honghe Village for more than a year and their families.

Take them all away.

As for Matteo Ricci and Zhu Youdong, they were deceived and deceived: Mr. Li, please don’t be reluctant to bear the few believers who have just developed in Beijing. When you get to Nanjing, can you allocate a piece of land to build a new Catholic church for you? Look at it, okay?

Ah, your contact with the Jesuits has to go through Macau. Macau and Beijing are really far away. It’s different when you go to Nanjing. The whole journey is by water! How fast! Well, speaking of it, last time you gave

The mirror grinders I found are quite good. I want to continue to expand the scale. You can just ask them to come to Nanjing...

As for Cao Sanxi, it's much simpler: Gu wants to take you to the south to meet the best businessman of this era. Are you afraid? Not afraid? Then let's go!

The one who needs to stay is Wei Zhongxian.

"Young master, wuwu, it stands to reason that this slave was raised by my master. You can do whatever you want me to do...but I really can't bear to leave you."

"Okay, okay, what's the point of crying for someone who is almost forty years old? Zhongxian, there is nothing we can do about it. If I want to go south, I must keep someone in the big house. As for Wang Chengen, he is too old.

Xiao, if you leave alone, he can't carry the entire Xinghua Palace by himself."

"Uh... Master, can't you let Xiao Cao stay?"

"...Zhongxian, you were born alone. But Daban...isn't the case."

After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian's mood suddenly turned from sadness to joy: So that's it, it turns out that the person whom I trust the most is me!

"I understand, although I can't bear to leave you. But since I have already said this, it would be too shameful for me to still think about following you south. In this case, please rest assured, I will do my best."

Even if I risk my life, I must take care of my family in Beijing!"

"Well, Zhongxian, I heard that you have been working hard to learn literacy in the past two years, which is good. After I go to Nanjing, I will only rely on you to deliver news from Beijing. Don't be afraid that your handwriting will be ugly.

I don’t dare to write, I will only read your handwritten letters from now on..."

"Yes, Master! A few days ago, Xiao Cao told the slave the rule of not keeping secrets... Uh... Anyway, please rest assured, master, I will definitely follow the master's instructions."

"Well, do your best. You will have more than one eunuch in your future...hehehe..."

…

In June of the 34th year of Wanli, the imperial censor Hou Qingyuan wrote a letter saying that our dynasty had already had an ancestral system, and the crown prince guarded Nanjing. However, since Xuande, it has not been implemented due to various reasons. Now our prince and grandson are both in good health and mentally mature.

.In fact, the ancestral system of the prince guarding Nanjing should be restored.

As soon as this book was published, there were immediately responders, and there were even more opponents. However, with the unanimous consent of the emperor and the three cabinet ministers, the proposal was implemented.

On June 18, Wanli promulgated a series of imperial edicts, which were quickly countersigned by the cabinet.

One: Zhu Youdong, the grandson of the emperor, will leave Nanjing in the 35th year of Wanli. Officials from the Six Ministries of Nanjing, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the generals and admirals of the Nanjing Fifth Army Dudu Mansion, and the Nanjing garrison eunuchs are all under his control. The above people were originally

If you are responsible for the matter, report it to the grandson first. If the grandson cannot make a decision, then report it to Beijing.

Second: Yang Tingyun, censor of the Imperial Procuratorate in Beijing, was appointed censor of Qiandu, and was appointed as Yingtianfufu Cheng.

Third: Li Zhizao, the river supervisor, joined the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate and served as censor.

Fourth: Zhang Yicheng, a bachelor who moved to the Hanlin Academy to serve as a lecturer in Yingtianfu, was appointed as the imperial censor.

Fifth: Xu Guangqi, a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, was appointed as the Secretary of the Imperial Academy in Nanjing.

Sixth: Wen Tiren, the chief of the Qing Li Department of the Beijing Ministry of Rites and Guests, moved to the position of head of the Qing Li Department of the Literary Affairs Bureau of Beijing.

Seventh: Li Ruzhang, the former commander-in-chief of Yansui Town, moved to Qianshi, the governor of the former military governor's office in Nanjing.

After these decrees were issued, the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom instantly understood: the emperor's determination had been made, and it was a certainty that the grandson would leave Nanjing.

The ancestral system is here, and the grandson is really not easy to mess with. So this time, although the officials of the Ming Dynasty also opposed it for a while, they saw that the situation became clear and did not say anything anymore. On the contrary, many officials were licking

With his face towards Xinghua Palace: Your Highness, the south is nice, can you take me with you?

Zhu Youdong ignored these people: on the one hand, he had already spent a lot of effort in Wanli to arrange for his teachers, and it was too late to arrange more people. On the other hand: you

What is this? Why should I take care of you?

These officials were of course very disappointed when they encountered a weak enemy in Zhu Youdong. But before they could turn their dissatisfaction into a memorial to impeach Zhu Youdong again, a bigger wave came.

In July, the first assistant Shen Yiguan and the third assistant Shen Li took office at the same time.
