Chapter 163 Crazy thoroughly
To this point, Yang Shaofeng no longer cared about the auction below.
Zhu Laosi was indeed crazy, and he had a madness like Zhu Chongba. He thought that he could solve all the problems when he was taking action, so that his descendants could be safely a Emperor Taiping.
The question is, Zhu Chongba’s lessons before were not enough? He got up earlier than chickens, slept later than dogs, ate worse than pigs, and fucked more than donkeys. What happened in the end? How many people really abide by the "The Instructions of the Emperor Ming Ancestor" formulated by Zhu Chongba?
If Zhu Yun had abide by the imperial ancestor's teachings, he would not have been trying to reduce the vassal states, and Zhu Laosi would not have raised an army to calm the crisis.
If Zhu Laosi abides by the imperial ancestors, then after he succeeds in the Jingnan Dynasty, he should have enfeoffed the king and the royal family, rather than follow Zhu Yun's old path to reduce the vassals.
To put it bluntly, no matter how stupid Zhu Yun is, he is also the heir trained by Zhu Laosi. Although his ability is a little poor, he still has courage and courage, unlike those idiots who later held their ancestors and did not let go.
As for Zhu Laosi, the emperor who came out of the battlefield, he was a typical pragmatist. If Zu Xun was useful, he would use Zu Xun as a guise to raise an army to Jingnan. After Jingnan became the emperor, Zu Xun was useless.
Seeing Yang Shaofeng silently, Zhu Laosi laughed and said, "Do you think there are too many problems and feel that manpower is ultimately limited? No matter how hard I struggle, I will never be able to solve all the problems?"
Yang Shaofeng said with a nod, "My grandfather loves his adoptive father and brother-in-law. His grandson can roughly understand it, but manpower is sometimes poor. Many problems have existed since Emperor Taizu Gao. It will not take one or two days to solve them all."
Zhu Laosi was silent for a while, and suddenly shouted: "You also know that the problem has existed since Emperor Taizu Gao, so you must also know what this means. If I don't start solving it, if your adoptive father wants to solve it, these things have become the ancestral system and there will be no way to solve it again."
Yang Shaofeng opened his mouth, but said nothing.
Zhu Laosi was right. Many problems were destined from the beginning, but at the beginning, these problems did not highlight the disadvantages.
Just like the ward system and the royal family system that was sprayed by later generations, these systems were really bad in the early Ming Dynasty?
Not.
Taking the ward system as an example, when the last emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Shunzong Boerjimtotemuer, ran away, swept a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry. After the war to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the population declined and the desolation of the fields became the biggest problem before the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Chongba, who took over the Central Plains, found that his Ming Empire had only the reputation and strength of the empire, but did not match the wealth that matched the empire's strength.
What can we do at this time? It is obviously unlikely to expect Zhu Chongba, who was born as a cowherd, to revitalize the economy of the Ming Dynasty and make the Ming Dynasty as rich as the Song Dynasty. However, the model of the garrison system, which was cultivated and prepared for war while preparing for war, became Zhu Chongba's first choice.
It was precisely because a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry were taken away by Totemuer that the treasury in the Ming Dynasty was really empty, and the salaries of officials were paid, river bridges were built, and soldiers and soldiers were prepared. What should I do? So treasure money appeared.
Similarly, Zhu Chongba had many problems with the vassal system established by his classmates. However, when the Northern Yuan Dynasty ran away, he did not completely sing, so Zhu Chongba could only give his few sons the title of King of Sei, with the main purpose of letting these sons defend the frontier and defend the court.
The effect was very obvious. At least, the king of Yan Zhu Laosi and Ning Zhu Quan were the most active brothers who wanted to kill the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Their fiefdoms were larger and their taxes were more taxable, so the prince became more stable and comfortable.
The same is true for the preferential treatment for scholars.
There were many scholars loyal to the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and many followed him. The territory and people under the Ming Dynasty must be governed by someone, right? If there were not enough officials, who would handle government affairs? Therefore, Zhu Chongba could only treat scholars preferentially, so that more people could afford to read, and then help him handle government affairs.
It is very certain that in the eyes of later generations, these policies basically laid the root of disaster for the Ming Dynasty, but at that time, many of these policies were truly good deeds to govern the country.
Therefore, many issues cannot be viewed simply from the perspective of future generations, but must be judged based on actual situations.
The only problem is that these problems broke out too late. If they broke out during the Yongle period, then the Ming Dynasty would have enough time to adjust these problems. When they broke out during the Xuande period, many problems would be difficult to recover, not to mention that many problems broke out later.
Fortunately, Yang Shaofeng, a time traveler, knew the consequences of these problems and how to expose these problems in advance.
Then Zhu Laosi, who loved his grandson, went completely crazy.
Zhu Laosi planned to take advantage of his ability to make trouble for these problems first, and at least leave an excuse for future generations to make trouble.
When things come to this point, Yang Shaofeng doesn't plan to persuade Zhu Laosi again. Since he is willing to be crazy, he can just follow him crazy. Anyway, it's a struggle to make trouble with Zhu Zhanji, and it's a struggle to make trouble with Zhu Laosi, so he can even make trouble with him.
The reason is very simple. When Zhu Laosi kills people, he is not inferior to Zhu Chongba's cruel man. He is much more cruel than Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Zhanji, let alone those who are incompetent behind him.
Just as Yang Shaofeng was thinking about how to persuade Zhu Laosi to make things bigger, the auction house downstairs had just entered the ** stage.
The street closest to the imperial city has sixty small yards on the street, which are numbered from No. 1 Yingchun Road to No. 60 Yingchun Road. They were all photographed by Zhu Laosi's descendants and nephews. Zhu Laosi specially notified a large number of vassal kings, telling them that they could buy a yard in the capital.
Moreover, Zhu Laosi vaguely revealed to his twenty-something brothers, that is, except for the princes, the other princes in each family can study and conduct business.
As a result, the yard on Yingchun Road suddenly became popular. Except for the first few sets, the remaining fifty sets were sold directly at a price of 50,000 yuan just after they started.
Well, it was probably Lin Yu who announced the start of the auction, and then Duke of Wei Xu Qin shouted "1,010,000 yuan for the Duke of Wei, Xu Qin added 10,000 yuan, and then Xu Qin shouted "10,010,000 yuan for the eunuchs in each royal palace would shout "50,000 yuan for the eunuchs."
After repeated incidents, Xu Qin lost interest in yelling prices. The entire auction was almost a large-scale slap scene in the face. Why are you shouting?
The most important thing is that Xu Qin felt that he was not too stupid. If it were just people like Zhu Gaochi's third brothers and the crown prince Zhu Zhanji and others who were shouting for the price, it could be considered that these people were supporting Yang Dianmama, but after the rest of the vassal kings participated, things began to develop in another direction.
Hu Guang also feels the same.
In fact, at the beginning, Hu Guang and Xu Qin had similar opinions, believing that after waiting for the King of Han and the Crown Prince Zhu Zhanji and others to take pictures of the yard, Xu Jingchang and Xu Qin should be fighting each other. The British Duke's Mansion would probably get involved, but when these top nobles ended, the ones behind them would not be able to get into the market.
However, what Hu Guang never expected was that not only Zhu Gaochi's three brothers and Zhu Zhanji and his generation had sold more than a dozen yards, but even the other princes' mansions had their own end. These people directly bid for all the 60 yards on Yingchun Street, and they were all sold for 50,000 yuan.
In fact, when all the sixty yards on Yingchun Street were auctioned, it was not only Xu Qin and Hu Guang who were confused, but also Xu Jingchang, Duke Ding, who opposed Xu Qin, Zhang Fu, Duke Cheng, Zhu Yong, etc., were very confused, not to mention the remaining Hou, Bo and the civil and military ministers.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I here for?
How come a good auction became a battleground for these vassal kings to show off their financial resources? What are they here for? Watch the fun?
His face was so gloomy that it was beyond remarkable. Hu Guang held the teacup in his hand tightly, and even his knuckles were a little white. Finally, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, "You are rude!"
Lin Yu on the stage looked at the big guys present and whispered: "The first batch of yards on Yingchun Street have been photographed. The next batch of yards on Xuelian Street are about to start. Before the auction starts, please open the picture album in your hands, and please allow me to show you the schematic diagram below."
After waiting for the servant to move the shelf with a huge floor plan to the stage, Lin Yu walked to the drawings and said with a smile: "Please look here. This is the location of the Imperial City, and this is the Yingchun Street Community that has just been photographed, with a total of 60 yards. This is the Xuelian Street Community that we are going to start bidding now, with a total of 120 yards.
Please look at the drawings. The location of Xuelian Street Community is just the west side of Yingchun Street. Between the two is Fengtian Road, which extends from the new Imperial City Meridian Gate to the south gate of the new capital. It is the first of the main roads of the entire capital. There are sixteen main lanes in both directions, plus two-way four-lane auxiliary roads and two-way pedestrian passages.
Note that each lane of these roads is available for two carriages to pass through, whether it is the main road, the auxiliary road or even the pedestrian road. In other words, no matter whether you are going up or down from this main road, you don’t have to worry about congestion. Even if the population in the new capital exceeds two million, you don’t need to worry about it.”
Lin Yu spoke quite loudly, and the entire auction venue was specially designed, so the sound on the stage would be amplified, so even the private rooms on the third floor could be heard very clearly.
