Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 319 Yongli returns to China
Yongli, who had already returned to the mainland of Ming Dynasty, was still slightly worried about the war in the Philippines.He has been afraid of war all his life, because of war he has spent half his life in a homeless life and witnessed the decline and fall of an empire.

He knew that the Ming Dynasty had now recovered the country, and his return this time was also to announce the restoration of the Ming Dynasty to his ancestors, and to pass his throne to the real master of ZTE, his son.However, Zhu Youlang was still worried that Daming would embark on a militaristic path, but he thought so in his heart, but would not say it out loud. After all, Bai Mingxiu had already ruled the world.

When he came to Guangzhou again, Zhu Youlang was still full of emotion.His arrival was warmly welcomed by the local people in Guangzhou. Although Bai Mingxiu reformed the Daming etiquette system, and the common people would not kneel before seeing the emperor, everyone still enthusiastically shouted "Long live my emperor" and "Long live the Ming Dynasty." "Such a slogan made Zhu Youlang extremely happy.

In Guangzhou, Zhu Youlang did not participate in many official activities. Bai Mingxiu intended to get him to Shuntian Mansion as soon as possible and did not want many twists and turns in the process.

Zhu Youlang stayed in Guangzhou for one night and took a look at the bustling city of Guangzhou.The city of Guangzhou is quite different now. The city has already started a lot of modern urban construction, such as building cement roads and building many three- to five-story buildings.Commercial activities have also become more intensive and frequent, which is very different from the Guangzhou Zhu Youlang had seen back then.

"I didn't expect that Guangzhou's prosperity would reach this point." Zhu Youlang praised.

The accompanying Guangzhou Prefecture Yin said: "Since the restoration of Guangzhou Prefecture, the prince has implemented a series of new policies, and Guangzhou Prefecture has benefited greatly, especially since Guangzhou is an important port in South China, and most of our country's maritime trade begins here. In addition, Guangzhou Prefecture has benefited greatly. Various factories were established in Guangdong Province, and the products gradually became richer, so Guangzhou Prefecture naturally became more prosperous."

Zhu Youlang asked: "My Ming Dynasty is still using troops everywhere, and the army of firearms costs a lot. Isn't there any pressure on the place?"

The Governor of Guangzhou smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I don't know. Although the Ming Dynasty has many wars and constantly employs troops, our economy is now prosperous, and the money and food we can supply are many times that of before. Even though we are still fighting now, the governments have not felt anything. Practical pressure. The common people live and work in peace and contentment. After all, the areas that have just been restored and are resuming production are still implementing the land tax exemption period promulgated by the prince, and do not pay taxes to the court. Now the main income of Ming Dynasty comes from the taxation of industry and commerce. .”

Zhu Youlang was shocked: "Are land taxes everywhere free? When did Ming become so rich?"

"It's still a matter of administrative system and economic thinking. Daming is no longer what it used to be in previous dynasties. Now Daming is a brand new country."

Zhu Youlang didn't quite understand these words. When he came to Australia, he discovered that these officials were just like Bai Mingxiu's followers. Not only did they act vigorously and resolutely, but they also spoke words that ordinary people couldn't understand. There is a fiery light in their eyes as they tell of their accomplishments and visions for the future.Zhu Youlang couldn't help feeling that what they were after might really come true.The old-fashioned bureaucrats are different. These new bureaucrats carry a kind of vitality, vigorous and high-spirited.Not only officials, but even some common people are like this. Zhu Youlang doesn't understand, and even a little afraid. After all, this is not something he is familiar with.

But no matter what, Bai Mingxiu led these people to complete an almost impossible task.Let him who has lost all the land of the Ming Dynasty live forever, and finally not become a subjugated king, and finally be able to have a happy death.

The governor of Guangzhou said: "Your Highness, please rest well in Guangzhou tonight, and board the ship for Jiangnan tomorrow."

Zhu Youlang nodded and went to rest without thinking too much.

And in the palace where Zhu Youlang was staying, two giants of the Jin Yiwei also met.

Xiang Xingtian, commander of Jinyiwei, was holding a little wolf hair, and very neatly drew a picture of a lady on a piece of white paper.

The deputy commander Shi Pao Fanshan didn't even have the idea of ​​discussing his personal interests with him, and went straight to the point of business.

"The Jiangnan side has already made a real blow. The group of people from Xinfushe are planning to make a cry when they greet them in Shanghai."

Xiang Xingtian slowly traced the willow-shaped eyebrows of the beauty on the paper, and the light bulb hanging on the roof flashed a little unsteadily. He said: "These incompetent literati can't do anything else except this. , I did it in Yecheng, and I want to do the same thing in Jiangnan."

Pao Fanshan said again: "This is not the most important thing. Our people discovered that Mao Xiang, one of the leaders of the Xinfu Society, has something to do with the people of the White Lotus Sect. The people of the White Lotus Sect even sponsored them."

Xiang Xingtian paused for a while, then continued to draw, and said, "It's interesting."

Pao Fanshan said: "By relying on this, we can arrest Mao Xiang and others, what should we do?"

"Not in time."

Pao Huanshan frowned slightly, "It is not a good thing to let the people of Xinfushe run wild like this. After all, not everyone has a clear mind. Letting their extreme thoughts be released and affect many people is not a good thing for the Ming Dynasty after all. That’s a good thing. Besides, the White Lotus Sect has caused things like the Bagua Sect and is now secretly preaching in various places. If they really take advantage of the loophole and deal with it, we will have to pay more.”

"I understand that the matter of the White Lotus Sect needs to be continued to be investigated by Jiangnan. As for the Xinfushe group, they cannot be brought to the surface. They need to be dealt with, but they must be done secretly."

Pao Fanshan is a straight guy in science and engineering, he doesn't have so many twists and turns, he asked, "What's going on?"

"They are going to make a scene. In fact, there are not many people there. Compared with the huge crowd of people greeting the passengers in Shanghai Port that day, they are like a drop of water. You can just find some plainclothes people to make some trouble for them and squeeze them outside. Your Majesty. After Shanghai, I got on the bus and left within ten minutes after showing up, so there is no need to be overly nervous.”

Pao Fanshan thought for a while and said, "Then I understand."

Xiang Xingtian put down his pen at this time, with a warm smile on his face, and said: "Xinfu Society is generally something that brings disaster to the country and the people. They have no ability to govern the country, and most of them have the ability to do bad things. However, as a literati, there is no need to deal with it. If you use too rough methods, the more you scare him and the more violent you are, the more motivated he will be. The unclean things behind their backs must be carefully investigated. In addition, the prince has explained that public opinion's criticism of the former Donglin can be compared with the current new Let’s connect the backward ideas of this group of people who have returned to society.”

Pao Fanshan said: "I understand, it's just to mess with them."

Xiang Xingtian laughed, and said: "That's not accurate, what do you mean by being black and dirty, it is clearly to expose their true colors."
