As for the pressure on urban dwellers caused by rising food prices, it is not really serious.

The low-priced grain sold by the Household Department at the purchase price was even cheaper than the grain and rice on the market in the early stage. Affected by the Parity Division, the prices of those grain merchants will inevitably not rise, which is actually equivalent to subsidizing the people with the profit margins of grain merchants.

Through this nationwide regulation and control of grain prices, we can also test the execution of the Parity Division, and it is also a training for them. In the future, there may be many places where the state needs to intervene in prices, and the Parity Division must be able to give strength and control the scene.

According to Zhu Linmiao's plan, it will not be long before the maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty will enter a period of rapid growth. A lot of the wealth from overseas will flow mainly into the cities, and the non-agricultural population will benefit from the prosperity of the cities, and the income level will rise dramatically, and the little more expensive food will hardly be felt by people. In fact, in the stage of rapid development of the urban economy, food prices usually rise, and now it can be regarded as an advance of the expectation of future food price increases.

In addition to giving the landlord class the carrots to "raise the price of grain", Zhu Linmiao also prepared a "big stick" in his other hand.

He first transferred 1,500 camps to Nanjing to "maintain order", of course, on the surface, he said that "the Son of Heaven is coming to Ying Tianfu" and needs to be strengthened.

After these elite troops entered the city, they carried flintlock guns with bayonets on their backs every day, and passed in front of the palace of the senior officials in Beijing from time to time, and often shouted "One, two, three, four!" with the officers in a loud voice. ".

On the other hand, he also instructed the military headquarters to send troops and police units throughout the country to start "intensive winter drills."

However, unlike the previous "big exercises", this time almost all the armed forces of the Ming Dynasty were involved in the training, and the locations were selected near the towns, and even the people were allowed to watch from a distance.

The main purpose of this is to deter those in the local area who are cautious and want to create some "chaos". In addition, it can also show the new look of the Ming army to the ordinary people, change people's bad impression of the Ming army from the perceptual point of view, and improve the prestige of the soldiers.

……

The carriage's four soft rubber-wrapped wheels rustled against the gravel pavement.

The lower layer of the road was rammed earth, and the top was rubble mixed with asphalt, and the entire roadbed was three or four inches higher than the surrounding area, and the road surface was extremely smooth, and there were drainage ditches on both sides of the road.

After the technical research of Nanjing Gezhi University, it is now possible to use coal dry distillation to produce coal tar, and then boil asphalt with tar. However, due to the relationship between technology and raw materials, the cost of manufacturing asphalt is frighteningly high, and only the dozens of miles leading to Nanjing are paved with asphalt pavement, which is regarded as a "demonstration project" of Daming Road.

"No wonder it's so much smoother than all along the way." When Empress Dowager Zeng heard Pang Tianshou say that there was a special road surface in Nanjing, she also nodded slightly, looked at the "sleeping" little emperor again, and said lightly, "After walking for the past few months, I will finally arrive in Nanjing." ”

She suddenly remembered something, and asked the eunuch, "By which gate shall we enter the city?" ”

Pang Tianshou said: "Go back to the Queen Mother and enter from Zhengyang Gate." ”

Zhengyangmen is the south gate of Nanjing, the Son of Heaven drove from the south of Fujing, and can enter the city from here.

Empress Dowager Zeng thought for a moment and ordered: "Turn your head and go east." ”

Pang Tianshou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, all civil and military officials are twenty miles outside the city to meet you, if you turn to the east......"

"Let's go to Xiaoling first." Empress Dowager Zeng sighed, and there seemed to be some fog in the corners of her eyes, "Since the first emperor ascended to the pole, he has been thinking about recovering the southern capital and worshipping the filial piety tomb, all day long, so that he has exhausted himself and gradually disappeared.

"Now we are outside the city of Nanjing, and the Dongyu has also been driven to Jiangbei, but the first emperor is ...... Ay......

"I will go to Xiaoling with Yuan'er to worship, and it should be the fulfillment of the last wish of the emperor."

Pang Tianshou also had a sour nose, and hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, letting the guard of honor turn in the direction of Xiaoling, and at the same time asked someone to notify the courtiers to wait in place.

Xiaoling has already been taken over by the people of Taichang Temple, at this time are restored to the original appearance of the Chongzhen Dynasty, from time to time there are deer raised in the garden to come, stop and watch by the Empress Dowager Zeng's car, not afraid of people at all.

When Xiaoling Fengzheng heard that the holy car was coming, he hurriedly led people out to welcome him. The Empress Dowager Zeng didn't pay much attention, stopped at Xiamafang, hugged the little emperor and went straight into the garden, but only walked all the way to the Jinshui Bridge.

She looked at the golden dome of the Wenwu Gate and the temple in the mausoleum from afar, sighed again, and did not call the incense burner offerings, so she knelt down on the spot, and was out of her mind for a long time before she muttered, "Emperor Xian, you have a spirit in the sky...... Hui Niang took your son, took a look at this filial piety tomb for you, and kowtowed to the ancestor emperor for you......"

She turned around and handed Zhu Linyuan to the nurse, turned around herself, bowed respectfully, and then said softly: "My ancestor Hehe, the merit is sacred, the virtue is spread all over the world, and the merit is Zhaoyu Huan......" is the sacrificial text written by Longwu Zeng.

"The early Yuan government was corrupt, the road left white bones, the ancestors mourned the hardships of the people, and inherited the mandate of heaven to ......"

She was halfway through her thoughts, but she suddenly heard the nurse beside her exclaim in an irrepressible tone: "Holy Lord! The Holy One has opened his eyes! The Holy One is awake! ”

Empress Dowager Zeng was stunned, jumped up from the ground at an unprecedented speed, took Zhu Linyuan, looked at the swaddling clothes, and saw that her son opened his eyes slightly. Although the little emperor's eyes were wooden and there was no other movement in her body, she was already dizzy with excitement, and she couldn't cry for a moment.

Suddenly, she remembered something, stuffed the child into the nurse's arms, turned around and knelt on the ground, slammed her forehead the green bricks, and choked and shouted: "Thank your ancestors for your protection!" The ancestors have manifested their spirits to ensure that my source is restored to its original state, that is, I will never be too late to do anything......"

Pang Tianshou saw that the Queen Mother's forehead was dyed with blood, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and whispered to persuade: "Queen Mother, the Holy Lord is better, go back to the palace as soon as possible, and then take the prescription of the Imperial Doctor to carefully regulate it to cure the effect." ”

"That's right! Yes! When Empress Dowager Zeng heard this, her eyes suddenly appeared, and she said hurriedly, "Go back to the palace, go back to the palace immediately!" He took Zhu Linyuan from the nurse's hand again, and walked quickly towards the lower horse workshop, constantly calling out in his mouth, "Yuan'er, are you better......

Pang Tianshou followed behind, and instructed the little eunuch to enter the city first to spread the good news of the "great good" of the Son of Heaven, and then let the officials who would be informed to welcome him directly enter the palace to meet him.

When the Empress Dowager Zeng got into the cloud car with her son in her arms, she did not go to Zhengyang Gate, but entered the city from the Chaoyang Gate on the east side, and went straight to the Forbidden City along the street avenue.

All the way to the noon gate, the Empress Dowager Zeng got off the car to change the chariot, looked up and saw that the noon gate has been changed into an endless flat square, a large piece of bluestone slab paved the ground, a few rows of narrow flower beds in the middle, outside the noon gate is a pillar of eight zhang high stele, engraved "Ming Heroes Monument" several big characters.
