"Your Majesty, moving the capital to Beiping is conducive to controlling the north, stabilizing the nine sides, and eliminating the great trouble of the imperial court. It can also promote the development of the north and balance regional differences, which is imperative; However, the southeast is the lifeblood of the imperial court, with a wealth and a rich culture, so it can not be easily abandoned. ”

"Nowadays, there are rumors in the market, nonsense, and sinister intentions, and they must be investigated. The imperial court must use thunderbolt means to severely punish those who spread rumors and make trouble, and Jinyiwei is already investigating and dealing with it, and has now locked up seven newspaper offices and arrested more than 20 people who disrupt the market order, just waiting for His Majesty's will. ”

Zhu Di bowed slightly, "Okay!" These brutes are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they must not be easily indulged, don't they like to talk nonsense! Then I'll throw them into a place where they can't speak! All of them are sent to Java, and they are never allowed to return to Daming! ”

Baiguan was shocked when he heard this, it was indeed ruthless enough.

Dongfan Island could no longer satisfy them, so they were directly thrown to Java, which is farther than the ends of the earth.

When the gang arrived in Java, it was estimated that they could only communicate with the monkeys.

Rumors are risky, be cautious when you speak!

Zhu Di sent away the miscellaneous fish bits and pieces, and then said to Liu Chun: "What you just said coincides with my thoughts, so what are you going to do with it?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no contradiction between the two, with the vastness of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to just concentrate wealth and manpower in one city, Ying Tian can't afford it, and Beiping can't afford it."

"The minister has the courage to propose that His Majesty should set up two capitals in the north and south, and in addition, establish a number of regional central cities."

Zhu Di's conception of the two capitals in the north and south was not surprised, but the regional central city made him frown.

"Be clear."

Liu Chun said with a smile: "The minister dares to ask His Majesty to give him a map, so that the minister can speak clearly." ”

Zhu Di nodded, and immediately asked people to take out a full picture of Da Ming.

This picture is three zhang long and one zhang eight wide, which is very huge. The little eunuch was quite sensible, and even prepared a bamboo cane for Liu Chun.

At this moment, all the officials also came over and looked curiously.

They have long been frightened by the matter of moving the capital, and if there is no proper way, they are willing to maintain the current situation, and it is best to remain motionless.

It depends on whether Liu Chun can come up with a dazzling plan.

"Your Majesty, I want all my lords, in fact, this idea can be traced back to the Hongwu Dynasty." Liu Chun explained with a smile that when he was in the Hongwu Dynasty, he proposed to reform the grain chief system.

At that time, there was an experiment to let the grain chiefs in various places transport grain, and at the same time, let the yamen in various places be responsible for transportation...... The results proved that the local yamen collected grain in a unified manner and transported it to Taicang in a unified manner, which was indeed more efficient.

Therefore, in the process of equalizing the land in these years, the grain chief system has existed in name only.

The yamen in all localities will collect and allocate it in a unified manner.

However, there is also a problem here, that is, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's design, the place is reserved for his own use, and the rest is sent to Taicang, the imperial court.

As we all know, not every place has a surplus, in fact, many remote counties, the annual output is not enough for their own use, so tax arrears have become the norm.

Poor places drag on, and rich places are not willing to pay by themselves, so there are lawsuits of this kind every year.

"My idea is to pick out the central cities in some areas, set up official warehouses under Taicang, and gather grain from all over the country to the official warehouse. The imperial court could also rely on these central cities to promote all-round progress. ”

Liu Chun looked at the map and talked eloquently.

In addition to Yingtian and Beiping, the first batch of central cities to be selected include Kaifeng, Xi'an, Wuchang, Chengdu, Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Two in the north and south, one in the west, and one in the center, and in general, it's fairly fair.

Once the city is identified, the further development strategy will come out.

"Beiping dominates the nine sides, as the future capital of the imperial court, mainly military and heavy industry; Yingtian, as the capital of Yingtian, retains a full set of bureaucratic system, and at the same time, as an economic center, a financial center, and a science and technology center, everything it currently has must not only be retained, but also continue to increase investment. ”

"Suzhou and Hangzhou, which should be used as factories for foreign trade, textiles, shipbuilding, porcelain, and marine fishing are all important development directions for these cities."

"The rest of Xi'an, Wuchang, Chengdu, and Kaifeng should also increase investment, set up science centers, vigorously cultivate talents, and develop local industries and businesses. For example, Xi'an should rebuild the Silk Road, and the Jianghan Plain, where Wuchang is located, is a very good cotton growing area for wool spinning. Chengdu is a great place with great industrial potential, and Kaifeng is the heart of the Central Plains, which can be used as a future transportation hub. ”

Liu Chun surrounded the map, talking eloquently, full of enthusiasm, Zhu Gaosui at the back of the crowd was about to cry, he consciously learned the essence of Liu Chun's flickering skills.

But now it seems that he has not even learned the skin.

See, the master surrounds the entire Ming Dynasty and points out the country, this is the real master, one word, obey!

The ministers present also gradually became interested, stared carefully, and even forgot about the relocation of the capital.

They come from all over the world, and there are all over the world, and the development is very uneven between the various regions of the Ming Dynasty, which is a well-known thing. It's just that people used to think that this has been the case since ancient times, and God has set it, and there is no way to change it.

But Liu Chun doesn't think so.

"Have you noticed a thing?" Liu Chun seemed to be playing a trick, took out a bag of things, held it in his hand, and the big guy stretched his neck, thinking what kind of treasure it was?

"Don't look at it, this is mustard, a specialty of Fuling, it's not expensive, and ordinary people can afford it."

Liu Chun said with a smile: "In recent years, the scale of Yangtze River shipping has expanded a lot, and the tax in the middle has also been abolished. Loading from the upstream, it can be directly transported to Jiangnan, and the journey is unimpeded. This mustard was originally bought by boatmen and eaten on the road. However, because of its crisp and refreshing taste, it is so popular that many boatmen will bring more of it to Jiangnan to sell. Recently, there has been a special ship for the transportation of mustard. ”

Liu Chun sighed: "Don't look at it as just a small mustard, there is a big mystery behind it." With the deepening of the reform, the entire Ming Dynasty has become more and more a whole. ”

"We can eat mustard from Fuling, cane sugar from Dongfan Island, soybeans from Liaodong, and mutton from the northwest...... That's the best proof of this. Our eyes can't be limited to Jiangnan, if we just think that Jiangnan is the best, Jiangnan has everything, the capital must be in Jiangnan, and the big guys are also in Jiangnan. We're going to lose too much, at least we're going to be miserable at the table, aren't we? ”

Liu Chun saw that everyone was thoughtful, and obviously listened, so he continued: "Let go of your eyes and use the entire Ming Dynasty as a chessboard." To lay out the city, develop the economy, and let all localities make progress together, this is the open-minded pattern that all the princes should have. ”

"Here, I have one more good news to tell you."

Liu Chun said unhurriedly: "Recently, another major project of the Royal Scientific Research Society, the research plan led by Mr. Tao Chengdao has reached a critical time, and it should be in the near future that there will be a kind of earth-shaking machine. It will bring unprecedented changes to the entire transportation. ”

The big guys were all taken aback by Liu Chun, the Royal Scientific Research Society is a bunch of crazy people, isn't that Tao Chengdao the one who tried to have a cannon battle to collapse himself into the sky many years ago?

Does he really have a key breakthrough?

Dao Yan grabbed his beard, squinted his old eyes, and said with a smile: "Lord Liu, according to what you said, don't you want to encourage the big guys to buy shares of the Royal Society for Scientific Research?" ”

Liu Chun smiled dumbly, "Yao Lao is really smart, now is a good opportunity to buy the bottom!" ”

Dao Yan snorted, "You better talk about the situation in front of you first, how to resolve it, right?" ”

Liu Chun nodded and said, "What I mean is that after these key cities are established, each city must be equipped with official warehouses. It is necessary to invest funds for the construction of schools, prepare for the construction of science centers, build bridges and pave roads, and carry out large-scale construction. With the investment of the imperial court and the huge orders going down, the factories and workshops were busy. And the division of the city is clear, and any smart person will know that this move to the capital is not only not a catastrophe, but also a new wealth opportunity, and the stock market will recover soon. ”

Liu Chun's self-confidence infected everyone, and the big guy nodded frequently, if this is the case, then there is nothing to worry about. Yingtian's status remains unchanged, and at the same time, there are several key development cities.

The order went down, the big guys were busy making money, and the crisis passed easily.

Why didn't you think about such a simple thing?

It's really asking for trouble, scaring yourself!

The big guys quickly became satisfied, and the originally depressing atmosphere was swept away in an instant, and the early dynasty ended in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere.

Even Zhu Di is looking forward to it, if all the key cities can be developed, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty will definitely increase more than ten times, Liu Chun is really a talent......

Wrong!

Zhu Di suddenly realized one thing!

With what development?

It's not blowing!

If you want real money, you can pay for it! The treasury was originally empty, and the school was borrowed money, and the surname Liu flickered, which was not used for money!

"Liu Chun, what are you calculating?"

Since he just came home from the early dynasty, Zhu Di has been chasing and killing, and the speed is really fast! It's getting harder and harder to fool.

"Your Majesty, let the minister eat something first, when you are hungry, you will talk later."

Zhu Di sneered: "You are hungry, I will send you to a place to eat for free, how about it?" ”

Not how!

Liu Chun could only spread his hands, "Your Majesty, in fact, this matter is very simple, just borrow money." ”

"You talk nonsense!" Zhu Di said angrily: "I already owe so much money, how can you let me pay it back?" ”

Liu Chun said indifferently: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, no one dares to care about your debts, what are you always thinking about repaying the money?" We can issue more currency! ”
