At the end of last year, Wang Yan moved his family to Wuchang and set up his line in the thoroughfare of the nine provinces, so a large-scale construction project was indispensable.

After Wang Yan sent the news to Wuchang, He Tengjiao ordered an envoy to build a national school according to Wang Yan's requirements, martial arts, the five loyal army governors' mansions, the six yamen, the council hall, the yamen of the court, etc., according to the regulations of the feudal state, which is equivalent to returning to the situation before the cutting of the feudal domain in the early Ming Dynasty, and even returned to the clan in the early Han Dynasty and became a country within a country.

With the large-scale construction of the government in Wuchang, some keen merchants and families also realized that as the battle line advanced northward and the territory was expanding day by day, Guangjing was no longer suitable as the center of the Ming Dynasty, and the Hengyang Domain set up in Wuchang, which already indicated that the political center of the Ming Dynasty would move north.

Naturally, these businessmen wanted to seize the opportunity and send people to Wuchang to buy land, buy houses, establish semicolons, and even move their families directly to Wuchang if they were courageous.

Chinese society has been like this since ancient times, businessmen must understand politics and rely on bureaucrats if they want to become bigger, otherwise the above policy can make the huge chamber of commerce collapse instantly, and in the center of the imperial court, it is undoubtedly easier to obtain information in all aspects, so as to achieve advantages and avoid disadvantages, and obtain benefits.

The advent of these businesses and families has brought a new population to Wuchang, as well as wealth and job opportunities, which has undoubtedly made the construction of Wuchang even busier.

Large-scale construction will inevitably cost a lot, Wang Yan was unwilling to spend more money, but now he is tantamount to starting from scratch, some superficial work, or must be done, otherwise it will be too cold, and there will be no way to unite people's hearts.

As for how the money comes from? It was the taxes that were originally to be paid to the imperial court, but now they are all concentrated in Wuchang in the name of preparing for war.

The tax silver in Guangdong, Huguang and other places is no longer handed over to the household department, but by Wuchang symbolically pays 300,000 taels of silver to the Longwu court every year.

Last year, the tax revenue of the Bosi of Suiguang City had exceeded three million taels, and the tax revenue of the Longwu Imperial Court had also reached eight million, far exceeding the five million taels in the Hongguang period.

This was the result of Wang Yan's commercial reforms, and the fastest growth in taxes was naturally in Guangdong and Hunan, which had not experienced much war, and if these two places had not been destroyed, the taxes of the Longwu court would not have increased so quickly.

Now that Wang Yan has controlled these two places, the Longwu court is a little embarrassed, leaving only Jiangxi and half of Fujian, of which Zheng Chenggong has considerable independence, and Jiangxi has not yet recovered from the destruction of the war, which makes Longwu's finances shrink sharply, leaving less than 1.5 million taels.

Pang Tianshou was anxious to drive Wang Yan out of the court, and did not hesitate to sacrifice some interests, but when his goal was achieved, he suddenly found that it was not the case, Wang Yan was driven away, but the resources he brought were also withdrawn from the Longwu Dynasty.

The generous finances of the Longwu Imperial Court suddenly became tense again, and Pang Tianshou sent people to the city to ask for silver, but was blocked by the soldiers of the Zhongwu Battalion.

After that, the imperial court ordered Guangdong, Huguang and other local governments to pay taxes and silver to the imperial court, which caused the confusion of local government decrees, and many local officials were still interested in the Longwu court, Wang Yan had to order the garrisons in various places, directly take over the treasury, guard the main roads to intercept the imperial court documents, and prepare to start a large-scale purge.

Some imperial party and officials who supported Longwu were extremely disappointed with Wang Yan and abandoned their official positions one after another, which paralyzed many local government affairs under Wang Yan's rule.

Since the Song Dynasty, China's system, generally speaking, has been strong in the central government and weak in the localities, which made Pang Tianshou form an inertial thinking, thinking that after occupying the central government, he could control the power of the world, but failed to take into account the actual situation.

This battle caused turmoil within the Ming Dynasty, the financial collapse of the Longwu court, Pang Tianshou regretted it at this time, but it was already difficult to recover, everything was over, and Wang Yan's life was not easy, he lacked a large number of officials who were proficient in government affairs.

This time it was a great way for Wang Yan to see the strength of tradition, and it also made him realize that his foundation was really unstable, but he also firmly believed in the correctness of this strategic turn.

After experiencing the turmoil at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, the time gradually arrived in March of the fourth year of Longwu, which was the season when the weather warmed up and the spring thunder began to roar.

The various systems of the Hengyang Domain were also slowly established, and they grew up like seedlings in early spring.

In the original Wuchang City, it was a radish and a pit, which had been occupied by people, and there were so many yamen in the line that there was nowhere to put it, and the expropriation of private houses was too high because of the high land price, and it cost too much money.

Outside Wuchang City, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, a large area is planned here for many constructions of the government, and some businesses have also bought land here to build houses, and the whole area is very busy.

Once these government offices, mansions, and shops are built, they will soon be able to form a new city.

Wang Yan led a group of officials to inspect the newly built martial arts and national studies on the north bank, and at this time it was a place to train civil and military teams for the vassal state, so Wang Yan paid special attention to it.

The two academies were built next to each other, and at present they were only a frame, except for a few beams and columns, but only a pile of loess, and countless people were carrying logs to the construction site, or shouting trumpets to beat the wooden stakes.

Wang Yan stood on a small slope with everyone, he looked at it for a while, and then asked You Youlun on the side: "On the occasion of the spring equinox, it is the busy season of farming, and I see that there are nearly 10,000 people at this construction site alone, will it affect the spring plowing of the people?" ”

You Youlun shook his head, "Your Highness, rest assured, this year, in the Wuchang Mansion area, many people have changed to planting cotton, and they will not start planting until April, so they just take advantage of their leisure time to work for the government to earn some change. ”

Wang Yan nodded when he heard this, this generation of large-scale construction will inevitably cost the people and money, and he is very worried about this.

According to You Youlun's approach, he is not disturbing the people now, but only doubling the loss of money, but there is nothing to worry about these money, the people have money, and Wuchang's business will be revitalized, which is conducive to the prosperity and development of commerce.

But what happened to this people's switch to cotton? Wang Yan frowned and asked, "Food is the foundation of the country, how can the people of Wuchang change to grow cotton?" ”

You Youlun was slightly stunned, "Your Highness, this kind of atmosphere has risen last year, and in February this year, the government made statistics, and thirty percent of the rice fields in Wuchang Mansion have been changed into cotton fields, and Jingzhou, Yuezhou and other places are almost the same. ”

Chen Yonghua on the side, seeing that You Youlun didn't say a reason, then answered: "Your Highness, in the Song Dynasty, there was a Su Lake ripe, the world is full of words, but to this dynasty it has become Huguang ripe world, which is the change, is because Jiangsu and Zhejiang have become the cotton textile center of this dynasty, and the folk cotton is more cost-effective than rice, so Jiangsu and Zhejiang generally switch to cotton, the center of this dynasty's grain planting, it began to move to Huguang, and at this time Jiangnan was in the hands of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Hong thieves changed the cotton fields to rice fields, and the merchants of this dynasty wanted to weave cotton cloth trade, However, the lack of cotton among the people makes it difficult to buy raw materials, which makes the value of cotton rise, and the people see that it is profitable, so they naturally switch to cotton. ”

After he said this, Wang Yan immediately understood, but the worries in his heart were not eliminated, but even better, and a picture of the current Ming territory immediately appeared in his mind, looking for a place to produce grain that could replace Huguang, but he searched in his mind, but pessimistically found that there was no granary enough to support the Ming Dynasty.

If you all grow cotton blindly, then you have to do it.

Seeing Wang Yan's serious expression, Chen Yonghua guessed his thoughts, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Nanyang!" ”

Wang Yan listened to him, his eyes lit up, he started from the operation of Guangdong, every year to buy grain from Nanyang, that place three crops a year, really compared, Huguang can not compare, but after all, the Nanyang countries are foreign countries, let them master the food lifeline of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yan only felt that the egg was pinched.

"This grain is the foundation of the country, and it is better to control it in our own hands." Wang Yan said with a deep groan.

Chen Yonghua smiled, "Didn't Your Highness set up the Li Fan Academy?" Moreover, the sailors are now uniting their vassals to attack the city, and these opportunities can be used to strengthen the control of the vassal in this dynasty. ”

As a few people were talking, a cavalry suddenly galloped to the bottom of the high ground, and a general hurriedly dismounted, ran up, and reported on one knee: "Your Highness, Governor He asked the last general to invite His Royal Highness back to the city, saying that Lu Jianguo sent a messenger over." ”
