Chapter 223 The duo going to sea(2/3)
Let the merchant bring gold into the market, start construction first, and the court allocates money and grain little by little, which can achieve results and build a new city.
"Well, regarding the construction of Xindu, we must first build the imperial palace and various halls, houses, and inner walls of the imperial city, and then expand outward step by step."
"Strive to let His Majesty move in the 28th year of Hongwu. Otherwise, something will definitely happen at that time."
"As for the businessman bringing funds into the market, I will go to find someone to invest. The Ministry of Works will take out the drawings of the Imperial City first and divide them into several pieces. The Ministry of Works will estimate the investment by itself."
"When everything is done, the court will hold a bidding meeting and ask merchants to bid. Whoever wants less project payment will do it!" Fang Shiyu said confidently.
Yan Zhen, the Minister of Works, spoke up and said: "Your Highness, this matter is not easy to handle. The less project payment, the smaller the profit. If there is a deduction or cut corners, it will damage the royal face!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Shiyu nodded slightly and said, "All buildings in Xindu are accepted by officials of the Ministry of Works. If acceptance occurs, everything will be qualified and found to be unqualified later. The bidding contract will be abolished, and the contractor will be punished for corruption and will be killed. If an official embezzles and accepts bribes during the construction of Xindu, leaks the budget of the Ministry of Works, and peels off the three tribes!"
"This is what we do, we must ensure that it is foolproof." Fang Shiyu attaches great importance to the movement of the capital. With his nature, he said the word skinning in front of the ministers, which is really unimaginable.
However, everyone is very clear about the significance of Xindu. After Fang Shiyu and everyone explained that the Zhan Shifu had decided on the issue of moving the capital.
What we face next is endless busyness.
The Ministry of Works must first conduct drawing surveys and mapping, give a budget, and the court will bid, let merchants enter the market, recruit migrant workers, and rush to the northern Xinjiang to build a new capital. The Ministry of Works must conduct on-site surveys, conduct on-site inspections, supervise merchants’ materials and whether the project is qualified.
When everyone dispersed, Fang Shiyu sat in Zhan Shi's mansion and refused to leave.
"What's the situation with these people? How can one of them be used with confidence!" Fang Shiyu looked through the names of officials from various imperial departments.
It is now the beginning of the 26th year of Hongwu, and it is time to organize the army to go to Ziyin Cang Mansion to change defenses and exchange Feng Cheng back.
If you just want to select a person, you must choose someone who understands military affairs and is loyal enough. Fang Shiyu can only choose from the list of countless court officials. However, when he looked through the list of these court officials, Fang Shiyu discovered a talent.
"Tie Xuan, a descendant of Semu people, was born in the 26th year of Zhizheng of Emperor Wushun, that is, the year when Lao Zhu defeated Chen Youliang and attacked Zhang Shicheng."
"Sheng Yong's loyalty is naturally unsaid. After all, Emperor Jianwen failed after the Jingnan Campaign and directly chose to commit suicide, which can be regarded as a sacrifice for Jianwen to die."
"The loyalty of these two people is fine. Sheng Yong serves as the commander. He will lead the navy to follow the route with the already chart to Ziyin City Mansion. There will definitely be no problem!"
"They're the two of them!"
Fang Shiyu was muttering something, but he was not in a hurry to summon the two of them. In his capacity, he would summon military generals openly, which was a taboo.
Fang Shiyu walked towards the Qianqing Palace before the sky was completely dark.
In the jade pavilion of Qiong Building, Fang Shiyu sighed in his heart: "Build a Tai Mansion that is three times as good as Yingtian, Lao Zhu's heart is really big."
Take a deep breath of air conditioning, because Fang Shiyu has Zhu Yuanzhang's gold medal, there will be no obstacles to going anywhere in the palace, and even Fang Shiyu can open the gate of the treasury.
Without notice, Fang Shiyu entered the Ganqing Palace. Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Fang Shiyu stepped forward next to Zhu Yuanzhang's soft collapse and bowed, "Old Zhu head."
"Here, come here so late, is it not good to handle the matter?" Zhu Yuanzhang did not fall asleep. In other words, Fang Shiyu came to the Ganqing Palace. Although he did not report it, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Fang Shiyu was coming.
"The handling is quite appropriate. The imperial court's Ministry of Revenue spends a lot of military pay every year and is unable to bear the construction costs of Tai'an Prefecture, so I am planning to recruit private merchants to participate."
"Let them get money and recruit workers, build Tai'an Mansion first and pay according to the project. The deposits in the treasury should be enough to pay."
The income of the treasury over the years is around millions every year, including the new policy in Hongwu in his later years, which led to the farmlands in the world being returned to the imperial village. Although the tax revenue is not high, one per 15 yuan per harvest, and the court still had to take away 90% of the annual rent of the land acres from the imperial village, only 10% remained, which would not be able to stop the large amount.
The biggest profitable project of Huangzhuang is the firearm manufacturing bureau. This money is actually just a left hand to the right hand and is taking it out to the left hand.
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth and said, "The matter is done. You come here late at night. Are you talking to me about anything?"
"Old Zhu, I want to transfer the navy."
Fang Shiyu said with a firm tone that mobilizing the army is a major event. Before Zhu Yuanzhang died, he must have agreed.
"If Gao Chi can find silver mines, that would be better."
"The most important thing is that there is quite a lot of wood there. The high-quality wood I brought back is only a small part because there are too many things to load the ship and I can't hold it anymore."
"In the past few years, Your Majesty has trained 60,000 naval troops in Yingtian and built 800 large and small ships, including the more than 500 I brought back."
"If all of them are sent out, the wood that can be brought back this time to go to sea should be able to supply Tai'an Mansion for one year's consumption."
Fang Shiyu said softly.
Fang Shiyu took away 90% of the Ming Navy, nearly 700 warships, 50,000 naval helmsmen and soldiers in one breath. In order to prevent it, Zhu Yuanzhang never stopped recruiting the navy and building the warships.
Now, the total number of warships docked at all the ports of the Ming Dynasty has exceeded 1,500, including the navy, the helmsman and various types of troops.
In the world of Fangyan, there is no force that can compete with the Ming Navy. Whether it is technology, quantity, or combat effectiveness, before the start of the industrial revolution in Xiniu Hezhou, the Ming Dynasty was a completely leading and completely crushing existence.
Just like the United States today, the outside world wants to disintegrate the rabbit family so that they can't see hope, so they start to make trouble and want to disintegrate the rabbit internally.
The collapse of a country is really not a big part of external threats. At most, it can only contribute to the fire.
"The imperial seal is there. You can write an imperial edict and stamp it and arrange it. Be sure to ensure the smooth sailing!"
Zhu Yuanzhang still reminded him with some concern.
Fang Shiyu nodded slightly and said, "Old Zhu, don't worry, I have recorded all the things to pay attention to on the route and route."
"I promised you to mobilize the navy! But I didn't promise to let you go out to sea again!"
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed not to react for a moment. Fang Shiyu said that he remembered it, and he was still thinking that Fang Shiyu was about to go out to sea, so he quickly shouted.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu, I already have a candidate this time. I commanded Sheng Yong and Yangzhou Tongzong Tie Xuan, two men, led 40,000 troops and thousands of ships. The former Ziyinchengfu sent the silk, tea, porcelain and other essential items from the Ming Dynasty. Then I loaded a large amount of copper, gold, silver, and wood back. When they came back, they would unload the wood directly at the Tai'an Prefecture Port in Liaodong Bay." Fang Shiyu had a relatively complete plan in his mind.
When wealthy businessmen brought their funds to the market, they needed to purchase stone bricks, wood and other necessities for the construction of palace cities. The wood transported back from Ziyincheng Mansion to the merchants in the sales situation can also be regarded as a counteracting the cost of the court.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Well, as long as you don't go out to sea, everything will be fine, go."
.........
Eastern Palace.
Fang Shiyu's face became heavier and heavier. Looking at the memorial in her hand, her head was as big as a fight, and she scratched her ears and heads.
"Does this matter be so much?" Fang Shiyu felt that he was going to be ruined. He stayed in this memorial pile every day, and in the morning, the Zhan Shifu discussed matters. There was no big deal, just click a Mao and come back to review the memorial. Fang Shiyu's memorials, those who had not approved and those who were waiting for approval, had already made his half-month work arrangement.
At this time, the various officials were still sending memorials to the East Palace.
"Old Zhu really puts all his energy into it, but I can't do it. Damn it, it's time to find a successor for Old Zhu. Zhu Laosi is good!" Fang Shiyu looked at the pile of memorials that were taller than others, and she felt her scalp numb.
It was at this moment that a figure walked in and Zhu Yunxiu said, "Master, is there anyone?"
"No one! Come in!" Fang Shiyu said casually.
Zhu Yunxiu looked back and said, "Come on, come in!"
With doubts, Fang Shiyu looked carefully and saw that Zhu Yunyu actually brought Li Wan to the East Palace...
"What? Is there something wrong?" Fang Shiyu hesitated.
Zhu Yunxiu smiled and said, "Didn't the ancestor say that he couldn't be busy? He asked me to help me. I just thought, how could I participate in such a thing? I haven't learned it."
"But you can't see the ancestors so tired, so you let the manager of Shangshen Bureau come to attack the ancestors."
Zhu Yunxiu said, and ran out.
"Master, please be busy first. Zhu Yunwen calls me to watch the game, I'll leave first."
"Compet? Where is the competition?" Fang Shiyu hurriedly got up, but when he moved, the table swayed, and the memorial was in a mess.
Fang Shiyu looked at the memorials around him and sat in the memorials with tears in his eyes. It was really difficult.
Imagine Zhu Yunyu's life, a leisurely grandson, without any care or worry about anything, if you want money and spend money, you can do whatever you want.
After personally experiencing the difficulties of governing the country, Fang Shiyu realized the bitterness of Zhu Biao back then, no wonder he fell ill.
"Your Highness, I will help you pack it up!" Li Wan hurriedly stepped forward, bowed beside Fang Shiyu, and began to pack up the memorial.
"Hey, where is the competition?" Fang Shiyu seemed to be unwilling to give up, and was almost annoyed by this huge amount of work every day.
Now it can be said that except for a very few special events, such as the transfer of troops, the change of generals, and major personnel changes, which require discussion with Lao Zhu, the rest are handled by Fang Shiyu.
And this memorial was getting better and better with the development of the south, and all kinds of things emerged one after another. Even if he read a thousand books a day, he would never finish it.
"Your Highness should put state affairs first and endure loneliness."
Hearing these remarks, Fang Shiyu's heart trembled and looked at Li Wan and said, "You? Why can't I see through you? Who sent you?"
Without any hesitation, Fang Shiyu showed up directly.
Looking back carefully, it seems that Li Wan is a little familiar with her, and from all aspects, her promotion at Shangshen Bureau is a problem in itself.
Song Lian's descendants? Is it entrusted to Zhu Biao? Or something else? From the beginning when Zhu Tou said that Li Wan's Five Dynasties were fake, Fang Shiyu was suspicious.
It seemed that some people kept making traps for him, and he clearly confessed his conspiracy, but he actually became the clown in this matter and was cooperating.
Li Wan lowered her head and didn't speak, but just helped Fang Shiyu to sort out the memorial.
"It's normal not to see through. After all, they are all wearing clothes. You divide the memorial into two parts. If you need to deal with urgently, it is related to the world's major plans. Put it on the left, flattery, and absurd remarks about auspiciousness, and put it on the right."
Fang Shiyu vomited a breath of turbid air and began to read frantically helplessly. Li Wan was next to Fang Shiyu, as if she was monitoring Fang Shiyu's review of the memorials, but no one knew her true origin and purpose.
Outside Yingtian Prefecture City.
Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Yunwen, the two brothers, didn't know when they got together, and they walked towards Yingtian Mansion with their arms around each other.
"Oh, I actually lost. I lost 30,000 yuan at once. Yueyin this month has lost me. Third brother, you can't let me starve to death."
Zhu Yunwen pulled Zhu Yunsheng and said with a smile.
"I will never starve my second brother to death. Let's go to Qin Zhunhe to have fun first."
"Qinhuai River? I heard that there are many nobles gathered there, and Is it appropriate for us to go to that kind of place?"
