Nama Shiying was deeply taught in the southeast, knowing that the southeast country puts the economy first, supplemented by "welfare", and uses what kind of pig fart to talk about heroes, the higher the better, the higher is the big hero, otherwise it is the mouth cannon expert of the former Ming officials.

In this case, he knows how to be targeted.

In the southeast, he was trained as an important minister, transferred to various ministries, and knew the business of each ministry and how to develop the economy.

The second assistant Yang Tiansheng is the father of Yang Yinger, the king of the southeast, with maritime merchants as a cover, part-time pirates, after his son-in-law won the country, Yang Tiansheng turned into a big official, first served in the Ministry of Construction, responsible for infrastructure projects, successively served in the Ministry of Economy, in charge of economic development, and then transferred to the Ministry of Welfare and Health, for improving people's lives have a deep experience, skilled in business!

How can the prince and general be a kind of minister, he serves seriously, and strives to leave a name in history.

He is very diligent and knows how to seize this opportunity!

The two partnered, one inside and one outside, trying their best to take the national economy to the next level.

If Yao Minggong's administration is conservative and stable, then Ma Shiying-Yang Tiansheng's administration has entered a new stage of reform.

Cao Yun to sea freight!

Cao Yun refers to the famous inland transportation system in Chinese history, mainly referring to the systematic project of transporting official grain, military grain and important bulk materials to Beijing, the ruling center of the feudal dynasty from south to north, through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, including the development of canals, the manufacture of ships, and the collection of official and military rations.

Caoyun sprouted in the Qin and Han dynasties, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and developed to a new stage in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the management of Cao Zheng, and established a management organization from the imperial court to the prefecture and county, and the "Cao Regulations" were also perfected and perfected, resulting in the system of branch transportation, redemption and direct transportation.

Through Cao Yun, the abundant materials from the south were transported to the north, especially the imperial capital, thus stabilizing the rule of the north.

Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, although the Beijing division moved south, the Ming Dynasty used troops and construction on the northern border and entered the northeast to carry out development, and the materials needed did not decrease but increased, even exceeding the period of the imperial capital of Beijing.

However, there are many troubles in the transportation of water, as soon as it is silted, the Yellow River floods frequently, the mud river rolls into the Grand Canal, the ships will be trapped, unable to reach the capital on time, at this time the price of grain will soar, the impact is very bad; The second is called "floating income". In the process of transportation, loss is inevitable. The government was unwilling to bear it, so it was apportioned to the people. Sometimes, the grain collectors directly collect 40 to 50 percent more than the prescribed amount, and the people are dissatisfied, and there are constant incidents of 'troubles'. The whole freight paid by the government was only 200 taels per ship, and the standard remained unchanged for many years, and the price of goods rose rapidly, so the soldiers who did not have enough travel expenses had to pay to the government along the way, and finally passed on the money to the common people; Fourth, it is said that those with vested interests, from the officials to the people, all rely on water to draft, although the officials make a lot of money, the small people also have to rely on this luck to live, and they are quite numerous, forming a firm interest group......

The transportation was unfavorable, and the grain in the south had to go through all the hardships and dangers and be protracted, and it would be transported from Suzhou and Hangzhou to the capital. The amount of grain sent into Beijing by the provinces every year is decreasing, and the storage and storage are becoming increasingly empty. Far from alleviating, the food supply crisis in the Jingshi region has worsened.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were well aware of the troubles of Cao Yun, and during the Yongle period, they tried to change Cao Yun to sea transportation, and used sea ships to transport materials from the south to the north, and received good results.

During the period from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to Yongle, shipping has always been an important means of transferring grain from the south to the north, but the resistance is very great!

Interest groups alone involve officials, soldiers, businessmen, gangs, boat people, and so on, and there are more than a million people.

They also had officials who opposed shipping for four reasons: strong winds, pirates, moldy grain, and high costs.

Most of them are nonsense, such as the high cost of shipping, in fact, it is a trivial matter for a sea ship to top two boats, and a large sea ship is a top of hundreds of boats, and the manpower required is very small.

The key is that the sea can arrive smoothly, and as long as the river is blocked, the boat will not be able to pass, and the capital will fall into famine.

As for the grain is mildew, this is also easy to say, as long as the packaging is done, it can effectively resist mildew, and the wind and waves are urgent, there are merchant ships at sea every year, there are ships that are destroyed and people die, there are many dangers in the canal, there are ships in distress and sinking over the years, and the boatman's family is ruined.

Pirate haunted?!

In the past, it was indeed a big problem, but now, don't look at it, the southeast country is a country established by pirates!

Yao Minggong has been in power for several years, and has made a lot of forward-looking research and preparations for the abolition of Cao Yun, and the implementation of this reform is a matter of course.

The biggest obstacle to reform is interest groups, and for this reason, Ma Shiying first dealt with officials, and Ma Shiying used thunderous means to transfer away all the relevant central officials and relevant local officials who were not enthusiastic about shipping.

For example, Ge Shizhen in the Hubu Lang, Ming Chongzhen thirteen years of Jinshi list on the Tan Ma Lang, with the words of the giant, and through the world and outstanding, its play on the matter of military salary, said "the increase in troops is not as good as training, the salary is not as good as the clear salary" words, very won the emperor's heart, Emperor Chongzhen once listed his name in the imperial screen, after Ge Shizhen took leave of absence to return to the province, after the change of Jiashen, Ge entered Nanjing, and its management of finance is two brushes, but resolutely opposed to the change of Cao Yun to shipping, and the result was dismissed.

There is also a local magistrate Yuan Shu, who is the governor of Zhejiang, and his father is Yuan Keli, the secretary of the Ming Dynasty's former military department, who is known for his talent and is a staunch supporter of the southeast country, and has great influence.

However, he did not agree to go by sea, and as a result, he was transferred to the central government and moved away.

Many officials passed the test one by one, and the second assistant Yang Tiansheng personally went to Hangzhou to preside over the meeting, forcing officials from all walks of life to express their positions, and all those who did not follow were transferred.

As soon as the officials who were political backers went, it was much easier for the people to do it, and some of the transportation personnel turned to sea transportation assistance, responsible for warehousing, transportation and other work.

Yang Tiansheng built infrastructure, built roads, bridges, dams, built water conservancy, developed agricultural production, and absorbed a large number of people!

In this regard, he is a veteran and familiar with it, and has launched vigorous infrastructure construction in various places on the front line of Caoyun.

In this way, when the people go to work and have a way out, they are not afraid of the people's changes.

And immigrants!

Although the Chinese have the custom of "the homeland is difficult to move", they must also see clearly that immigrants in the Caoyun area will give 100 acres of land to a family of four people in the northeast, 50 acres and 1 ding of land to the southeast, and a settlement fee of 10 silver dollars, and the land can be passed on to their descendants!

I have to say that the allure of the land is huge!

In due course, the propaganda of "spreading branches and leaves" was carried out among the people, and the people migrated enthusiastically.

The time is ripe for shipping, in the first month of 1653 A.D., Yang Tiansheng personally visited Shanghai, the ministry successively, Shen Order, the states and counties stripped the rice, the fish came through, the scales and exchanged, and the ten years were more than 160,000 to more than 200 boats to set off.

He sued the god of wind, the god of the sea, and the queen of heaven, gathered the three elders for many years, and sent them with silver medals for wine and food.

It can be said that 10,000 ships are singing in the river, Chenghai, and the flag is soaring, and the dragon is enthusiastic.

At the end of February, the shipping fleet arrived in Tianjin smoothly.

Since then, sea transportation has officially become a means of transferring grain from the south to the north, and the transportation of water stopped the following year!
