Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

I originally thought that the newspapers in Nanjing were trying to control part of the voice to disgust the court, but what I never expected was that the Nanjing Weekly was indeed the voice of those businesses, but they were just advertising.

What's even more hateful is that there are still some Liu Beiwen in it. If you say it is like "Jin Ping Mei", it still doesn't meet that standard. If you say it is a normal novel, it is rubbed again.

Not only was Emperor Chongzhen's face darkened, but even Lu Xiangsheng's face was darkened beyond recognition.

Originally, I thought that relying on myself and the big bosses in the cabinet, it would be impossible to be turned upside down by Nanjing. Who would have thought that these people would play such a good show in a blink of an eye!

Lu Xiangsheng wondered whether the Nanjing Weekly should be banned?

The role of this "Nanjing Weekly" is really disgusting. For the first time in the 300 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of the capital's population has migrated south!

If you think about it with your heels, you can know what these things are for - look at the "Nanjing Weekly", the so-and-so girl on the so-and-so painting boat, that figure, that appearance, provoked Lu Xiangsheng himself to want to go to Nanjing I have seen and seen, not to mention those businessmen and scholars who have some spare money...

Emperor Chongzhen chuckled, threw the memorial in his hand on the table and ignored it.

It's not a big deal for a traveler to be hanged and beaten by the natives. Did he start killing people because of this?

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng's face was still a little ugly, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Why is Lu Aiqing angry at such a trivial matter? Even if they use the newspaper to advertise, they must use it to promote something that shouldn't be advertised, okay?" ?”

Lu Xiangsheng said a little depressed: "Your Majesty, it would be fine if they published something that shouldn't be published, but now they use it as an advertisement, and the impact is even worse."

Lu Xiangsheng took out a copy of Chongzhen's Shuntian Mansion Work Monthly Report in March 20 from his bosom, flipped through a few pages and motioned for Wang Chengen to take it: "Your Majesty, just look here.

Ever since the Nanjing Weekly was published in February 20 of Chongzhen and was brought into the capital, many wealthy businessmen in the capital began to flow out, and the final destination was Nanjing.In other words, the business tax of the entire capital will drop sharply in the 20 years of Chongzhen.

Although this tax has to be paid into the national treasury in Nanjing as in the capital city, in fact, there will inevitably be a certain amount of loss on the road, even if it is small.

This is just the capital city. If other places are the same as the capital city, the most direct consequence is that a large number of wealthy businessmen will flood into Nanjing, and the city of Nanjing may not be able to withstand the influx of such a large population, which will cause great hidden dangers. .

For example, sanitation, such as law and order, once there is a problem with these two aspects, it may cause plague or other problems.This kind of advertisement put out by Nanjing Weekly is very likely to cause big trouble in a short period of time.

In addition, the biggest problem is that the sudden influx of people will cause all prices in Nanjing to rise. Whether it is the price of inns or food, melons, fruits, meat and vegetables, the prices of these things will inevitably rise, even including the Qinhuai River. The prices of those prostitutes may also rise.”

After thinking for a while, Lu Xiangsheng simply gritted his teeth and said, "Once the prices in Nanjing rise, it may cause the prices in the surrounding areas to rise accordingly, which will radiate to the entire Daming, and other regions may also increase prices."

The price increase of the Ming Dynasty version?Price gouging?What the fuck is this all about!

After humming, Emperor Chongzhen said, "What about the cabinet's opinion?"

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "The cabinet's opinion is that the price of grain can be increased, but the increase should not be too high. Now the grain price in Daming is at an extremely low stage. If it is lower, the common people will either give up growing grain, or grow it out. The food will not be sold afterwards.

And once the food increase is too high, it may eventually cause the people who grow the food to be unable to eat it, which is even more terrifying.It would be better to control the increase in food prices from the beginning. "

Without waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to ask, Lu Xiangsheng directly said: "The method of controlling grain prices is actually nothing more than introducing a large amount of grain from the outside, such as transporting a large amount of grain back from the chief envoys of Jiaozhi, Myanmar, and Nanzhang. If it is too high, the grain will be released directly to suppress the price of grain.

In addition, although the South China Sea Fleet no longer hunts whaling, the mariners stationed in Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Denglai can also fish in large quantities. Coupled with the influx of beef and mutton on the grasslands, they want to suppress food prices. It's not difficult. "

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "It's good to have a countermeasure. What about the influx of people from Nanjing?"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head, and said angrily: "Your Majesty Qizuo, it's not just Nanjing, it's the same now in Beijing!

Most of the people in Nanjing City are merchants, and most of the others are there for various businesses and the Qinhuai River. The influx of scholars and wealthy merchants in the capital city has made Shuntian Mansion very troubled.

From the 15th year of Chongzhen to the 20th year of Chongzhen, in just a few years, dozens of cases of noble children bullying others have been dealt with, and there are more than [-] cases of Ming people bullying barbarian businessmen. There are a few cases every month.

If these cases can't explain anything, then the following data must be more interesting to His Majesty. "

Emperor Chongzhen sneered in his heart: "It's okay, Lu Aiqing can just say it."

How about the sons of honor, these bastards don't do things that bully others, so they deserve to be called sons of honor?The family was all killed on the battlefield, even if it was abandoned in the past hundred years, but now it has picked up the ability to make a fortune, expect these killers who are used to killing people to be reasonable?

Don't be stupid, unless they are talking about military law, they don't care about the headaches of Shuntian Mansion!

As for those Daming people oppressing barbarians, it's none of my business?Who told them not to have Daming's household registration booklet?If they have Daming's household registration booklet, then they are decent Daming people. Doesn't Shuntian Mansion dare to blatantly favor it?

However, Lu Xiangsheng continued: "From the 15th year of Chongzhen to the 20th year of Chongzhen, there were four major epidemics in the capital, with an average of one per year. Fortunately, it was suppressed by the Imperial Hospital and the Royal Academy, and it did not cause any major problems.

In the past few years, the capital city has been flooded three times, and countless houses have collapsed after the heavy rain. If there were no troops from the Five Cities, the Beijing Camp, and the New Army to participate in the disaster relief, there would be countless casualties up.

As for the number of theft, robbery, and flower-picking cases, the number has risen in a straight line. Compared with Chongzhen 13 years ago, it has almost doubled several times.

And the number of servants in Shuntian Mansion, as well as the number of soldiers and soldiers in the five cities, are increasing every year, but they can't handle so many cases. As of last month, Shuntian Mansion still has a backlog of a large number of files that have not been processed. "

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt a pain in the ass.

It is said that the poor and the rich grow up with a conscience, but the quality of the people of Ming Dynasty is also worrying-all these things can be done at the feet of the emperor, what about other places?

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen asked about other places, Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "There are not so many problems in other places. Generally speaking, the situation is better than that of Chongzhen three years ago, and the number of various cases has decreased. .

However, these problems in the capital were all caused by the influx of population. It is obvious that Nanjing must also face these many problems. "

After nodding his head, Emperor Chongzhen said, "What about Lu Aiqing's opinion? Do the capital and Nanjing need to be expanded?"

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I have discussed with Wu Butang that even if the capital city and Nanjing city are doubled in size, it can only be relieved for a while. To reproduce what happened today.

To completely solve this problem, the key lies in how to divert the population of the capital city and Nanjing city to other surrounding areas. "

Hehe——Emperor Chongzhen only felt pain in his heart.

How many years have later generations been calling for diversion?After all means are exhausted, how much will be diverted out?How much has poured in?Can the problem be fundamentally solved?

Theoretically speaking, it is easy for Daming to solve this problem. If it is not possible, directly limit the number of people entering the capital, and if they do not open the way, they will also enter the capital of the fart?

But in fact, this kind of gameplay is simply bullshit.

Even if the common people are restricted, how much can it be restricted?A large number of scholars and big businessmen are also restricted. What kind of shit is the capital still playing?Simply leave the various institutions of the palace and the imperial court here?This is not realistic!

After thinking about it countless times, Emperor Chongzhen asked: "The so-called population diversion, the main population of the capital is court officials, university students, nobles, and big merchants. Besides, the number of common people is not too large. There are many, how to divide them?"

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, according to my humble opinion, it is better to move the university outside the capital and build it next to the Royal Academy.

Once the university moves out, nearly [-] bachelors and their relatives and servants will go south of the city even for convenience, and the capital will directly lose about [-] people. "

MMP!

Emperor Chongzhen cursed secretly in his heart.

Lu Xiangsheng simply came here under the guise of emigration. The goal of this poor old man is Huangzhuang in the south of the city, as well as the guards of the Royal Academy!

Once the university moved to the vicinity of the Royal Academy, even if the guards of the Royal Academy did not pay attention to the situation of the university, who would dare to go there to cause trouble?

PS: I was a little annoyed by family affairs today, and there is only one update for the time being.

Chapter 752 It's a big deal

Lu Xiangsheng wanted to reduce the pressure on the population of the capital, so that Shuntian Mansion would not come to cry and complain when there was nothing to do, and at the same time, he really had his eye on the guards of the Royal Academy.

The Capital University under the Imperial College can be said to be the most powerful comprehensive university in the Ming Dynasty or in the world today. Its subject classification basically covers all aspects, far surpassing the legendary Jixia Academy.
