Chapter 266: Cause and Effect (2)

"Look, our Ming Dynasty is so big!"

Zhu Yunxiu said, drawing a big circle on the ground with his toes, "This is our Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded without understanding.

"Jiangnan, the most important places in the Ming Dynasty are so big!" Zhu Yunxiu then drew a small circle in the big circle and continued, "Jiangnan is actually a general name, and not all places in Jiangnan are rich places.

.For example, in Huguang, there are Guangzhou, and in Fujian, there are Quanzhou and Fuzhou, right?"

"The essence of our Ming Dynasty is actually in this part of Zhili and Zhejiang, right?"

Zhu Gaochi nodded again, as if he understood something.

"Look, this place is so small, but the money is here." Zhu Yunxiu said, "And because it depends on Jingji, it attracts all the money from all over the world to come here. Is this the reason?"

"Money still has to be made. In such a small area, there will be less and less farming in the future, the business will be heavier and heavier, and the prices are steep and expensive. Think about it carefully, is this a good thing?"

Zhu Gaochi was still silent, but there was a look of worry in his eyes.

Zhu Yunxiu emphasized, "The money in the world is here, it's just a deformity. If the money comes here, he will not be able to hold on to this small place sooner or later."

As he said that, he took another sip of tea, "We are so big in the Ming Dynasty, and this place is rich, which is a deformity. No matter how good he is, his good one is just the top layer of people. In fact, the lives of the people are not as good as those of other places."

Are the people living a comfortable life?"

"Take the Central Plains as an example, grain production is not as good as Huguang, and it can be seen that there are more land. In the yellow book of the Ministry of Revenue, the average farmer in the Central Plains now has more per capita land than in the south."

"And the prices are low. If you grow some places and raise some animals, weave cloth and grow vegetables by yourself. You can always leave some of them all year round."

"Get close to the capital? Go out? All the money is squeezed here?" Zhu Gaochi thought silently about what Zhu Yunxiu just said.

"So, the emperor agrees with the minister..."

"Agree, but now is not the time!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Our China has always been from top to bottom, not from bottom to top. If the capital is in the north, the north and the south will be connected. If it is in the south, then all of us will come here.

Now.”

"And the capital is in the north, and the demand in the north is high. In the small circle I just drew, various outputs can also go north in addition to exporting. If you follow the canal, how many cities can you support? Just goods from south to north

, How much tax can you charge every year?”

"The emperor clearly understands thousands of miles!" Zhu Gaochi admired him in his heart, and this sentence was sincere.

To be honest, what he suggested moving the capital was military considerations. What Zhu Yunyu saw was the economic circulation and geopolitics of the entire Ming Dynasty.

"It is true that common prosperity is to be rich, but this is not something I can do alone!" Zhu Yunxi continued to smile, "So I clicked you into the Nanshu as the counselor, not to make a temporary decision, but to really hope that you can

Someone can help me!"

"It's over! I seem to be moved by him!" Zhu Gaochi said in his heart, "It seems that I admire him a little!"

"In the future, you don't have to take care of so much. If you need to make suggestions, you can make suggestions. If you do something wrong, just speak out. Don't hide any good ideas!" Zhu Yunxi continued to smile.

"I'm just stupid and speak out!" Zhu Gaochi smiled in his heart, "You can only listen to your words!"

"Although the capital was mentioned by the minister, it is of great importance..."

"So I say that it is not the time!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "We, the king and the ministers work together and take their time, step by step, and there will always be a natural day!"

After saying that, he turned his head again to look at the river surface full of lights, and whispered, "Beauty here is beautiful, but it's too indulgent to waste your energy! The warm wind makes tourists drunk, and only Hangzhou is Bianzhou!"

Li Jinglong next to him listened with his ears for a while, and he could understand it in a little while.

But at this moment, Zhu Yunxiu looked at the pleasure boat in the distance and smiled in a low voice, "Your Majesty, if you have a good mood, go there to sit there?" As he said, he continued to laugh, "I know a good place, those

Girls are all performing their skills...”

"Go and have a look!" Zhu Yunxiu stood up and said with a smile.

"You two are sleepy and the other is giving a pillow, it's so perfect!" Zhu Gaochi complained again in his heart.

Zhu Yunxiu seemed to have noticed it too quickly. He smiled and said, "I have been in the palace all day long. It's rare to have a job today... Li Jinglong, how can I say that!"

"Steal half a day of leisure!" Li Jinglong smiled, "You always have to combine work and rest!"

"Yes, work and rest!" Zhu Yunxi laughed loudly.

~~

Li Jinglong had already arranged such a matter.

Two small sailboats brought dozens of people to the middle of the river, and a painting boat with red lanterns.

Zhu Yunxiu boarded the ship with the help of Li Jinglong. Looking at the colorful flags on the bow of the boat, the two words Lanxiang frowned slightly, "Is this word so familiar?"

"You have such a good eye!" Li Jinglong laughed in a low voice, "Xie Jin's handwritten book!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yunxiu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The court clearly states the law, and officials are not allowed to go in and out of the fireworks and willow alleys, but these talented civil servants still can't help it!"

These words immediately made Zhu Gaochi, who had finally got on the boat, rolled his eyes and said to himself, "Your emperor is all happy, and those who are officials are naturally learning!"

"The owner of this pleasure boat is Lanxiang!" Zhu Yunxiu asked in a low voice as he walked into the cabin.

"Lanxiang is the stage name of this girl, her real name is Chunniang!" Li Jinglong smiled, "Since I have been singing good Liu Ci, I became famous on the Qinhuai River. Lady Lanxiang is different from other women.

You are not a elegant person, you can't see it no matter how much you spend!"

Zhu Yunxiu stopped, "Are you a elegant person?"

After saying that, before Li Jinglong could reply, he bent down and entered the cabin.

Li Jinglong is not a elegant person, but he must not be an ordinary person.

The boat looks small from the outside, but it has a unique world inside. The decoration is simple and elegant, with a little bit of tea.

It seems that I have prepared a lot, and the table is full of wine, dried fruits, fresh fruits and other things.

The front of the cabin was separated by a gauze curtain, and the woman wearing a gauze scarf slowly bowed with her pipa when everyone came in.

"I still hold the pipa and half-cover my face!" Zhu Yunxiu sat down and smiled.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the pleasure boat under him seemed to be shaking.

When I looked closely, it turned out that Zhu Gaochi was walking anxiously, and his body staggered against the cabin and barely stood firm.

"Sit next to me!" Zhu Yunsheng said.

Zhu Gaochi bowed and then lifted his skirt and sat down.

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxiu felt shaking again.

"I thought the earthquake happened?" Zhu Yunxiu said with a teasing smile.

Suddenly, Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes.

"You are so fat, it's not a good thing!" Zhu Yunxiu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and whispered, "Look, you've only taken a few steps, and your forehead is full of sweat?"

"I don't want to be fat either. What can I do?" Zhu Gaochi muttered in his heart and said, "What you said is that I will definitely have more in the future..."

"Listen to what she sang!"

At this time, the light behind the gauze curtain suddenly dimmed, highlighting the graceful figure behind the gauze curtain.

Suddenly, the sound of pearls falling from the jade plate sounded, and the pipa played lightly.

Then the red lips lightly opened, and the soft and soft Wu language sounded around the beam, "The southeast is prosperous, the three Wu cities, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times..."

"Is it singing Liu Yong's tide of looking at the sea?" Zhu Yun said as he knocked on melon seeds.

"Yes, the poem Liu Sanbian is still the same today..."

"Don't talk!" Zhu Yunxiu waved his hand and said, "Listen to the song!"

"You ask me first!" Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes.

"The smoke willow painted bridge, wind curtains and green curtains, and the 100,000 families..."

I have to say that this woman's singing skills are quite good. Wu Nong's soft words are ups and downs, and graceful, which makes everyone in the cabin a little crazy for a moment.

Suddenly, a sound came from outside the pleasure boat.

"The uncle obviously booked the venue in the afternoon. How dare you give it to someone else after you eat the leopard?"

"Believe it or not, Grandpa has dismantled your pleasure boat?"

Zhu Gaochi's face suddenly changed, his eyes were filled with horror.
