Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian walked along the solid official road on his way back to the capital.

This time, he walked through the valley called Hongshanzui.

Suddenly, I discovered that merchants had spontaneously built many houses on both sides of the road.

Even the flags are fluttering in the wind.

Zhu Youjian glanced at Fang Yuegong and others who came to greet him, and asked:

"When were these shops built?"

Fang Yuegong said hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, you used to take the official road to the east. You haven't walked this road for a month."

Zhu Youjian nodded.

He has too many things to do!

I really don't have time to care about these little things happening at the feet of the capital.

Fang Yuegong continued:

"After the news spread that His Majesty was going to build a new capital here, some merchants came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry and asked if they could open a shop here."

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed:

"This is a good thing, it shows that the businessmen are already confident about us!"

Fang Yuegong was also overjoyed.

Since the emperor defeated Yuan Zongdi, the number of merchants who came to the new capital to open shops has increased day by day.

When the emperor decided on the location of the new capital, countless merchants expressed their willingness to contribute.

After Fan Jingwen learned the news, he said that the merchants could be located in the outer city.

That is, the direction surrounding the valley where the mountains and rivers are located.

After all, the more prosperous the capital is, the more it proves the emperor's popularity among the people.

In this way, these shops were opened.

Fang Yuegong pointed at the hastily built thatched huts on both sides of the road and the houses that were being intensively built behind the thatched huts, and laughed:

"Your Majesty, I just did the statistics the day before yesterday and am about to report them to Your Majesty!"

“Now the outer city area designated as a market has more than 600 shops of various sizes.

This is already open for business.

In addition, there are more than [-] merchants who have obtained approval, obtained land, and are preparing to build.

If you include the applications that have piled up in the yamen and have not had time to be reviewed, there are already more than [-] applications that want to open a store in Xindu! "

Fang Yuegong, who was entrusted with the important task of the Ministry of Industry by the emperor, was naturally very familiar with these data.

This famous and honest minister in history is a rare official talent.

In later generations, the ruins of an eight-and-a-half-mile sea-proof stone pond named Dade Pond still remain in Fengxian Tower in Shanghai.

This is the first stone seawall in the entire Jiangnan region.

It was built by Fang Yuegong.

At that time, he was the prefect of Songjiang and saw that once the original earthen seawall encountered a typhoon, it would be washed away, causing countless losses to fishermen and people.

Fang Yuegong visited the site several times and felt that changing the ancient method and using rocks to pile up could completely solve this problem.

Therefore, under his leadership, the first stone seawall in the south of the Yangtze River was built.

Dare to be the first in the world, which shows Fang Yuegong's political achievements!

To be able to survive for hundreds of years shows Fang Yuegong's ability!

Zhu Youjian appointed him as the head of the Ministry of Industry and acted as minister. It was really not the wrong person.

"good!"

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed.

He enjoined:

"Please inform me that although we must review the background of merchants, any situation of taking advantage of the situation is strictly prohibited!

Anyone who dares to reach out will be chopped into pieces by me! "

"Don't worry, your majesty, Meng Zhaoxiang, Shilang Meng, has severely punished the three petty officials who stretched out their hands, and even posted his majesty's decree strictly prohibiting corruption on the entrances of various government offices.

In addition, Xu Zhixu, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, also had people come to the house for defensive purposes.

In accordance with His Majesty's wishes, I also set up reporting boxes everywhere in the city.

So far, in the anonymous report registration forms collected by Xu Yuanwai, there is no report of anyone reaching out like businessmen. "

Zhu Youjian nodded.

He could see it.

Just on the short walk into the outer city, I saw several reporting boxes that were not guarded by soldiers.

Anonymous reporting can ensure the safety of the reporter to the greatest extent!

This was specifically requested by Zhu Youjian!

"Crackling!"

At this moment, there was a burst of firecrackers.

Zhu Youjian looked around and saw a shop on the left side in front of him that had been completed.

In the thick smoke, the shopkeeper was bowing and saying something to the people watching.

The moment Zhu Youjian walked by on horseback, he turned around and saw that the store was a four-bay layout.

In the center of the lintel, on a dark plaque, there are three words "Zhang Dalong".

At a quick glance, it seems that this is a shop selling knives.

Zhu Youjian looked around.

I saw that among the thatched houses and shops on both sides of the road, there were actually one or two shops that had been completed long ago.

Moreover, the proportion of these completed shops actually increased as we entered deeper and deeper.

Obviously, these completed shops are the first merchants to apply to open stores.

"Shut up!"

Zhu Youjian suddenly reined in his horse.

As his mind turned, he seemed to remember something.

"Your Majesty, do you need to rest?"

The emperor suddenly reined in his horse, which confused Fang Yuegong.

he probed.

After all, it is human nature for the emperor to feel tired after traveling dozens of miles.

Zhu Youjian reined in his horse and pointed to the shopkeeper "Zhang Dalong" who was holding snacks in the distance and distributing them to the onlookers.

Puzzled:

"Is that Zhang Dalong the one from She County, Huizhou?"

Although Fang Yuegong remembered the overall data, his memory was not as good as "artificial intelligence" Wu Ganlai after all.

Fang Yuegong thought about it for a long time, but couldn't remember where Zhang Dalong's family was from!

"Your Majesty, I have not recorded this matter. Your Majesty, do you want me to go and investigate now?"

Zhu Youjian nodded.

He was about to ask Fang Yuegong to go and check immediately, when he suddenly heard the shopkeeper standing on the table and shouting loudly:

“Dear young and old gentlemen, today is our grand opening day at Zhang Dalong.

Our Zhang Dalong was founded by Mr. Zhang Sijia, the previous owner during the Wanli era.

In the first year of Chongzhen, the master passed away, and Zhang Dalong was presided over by the young master Zhang Xiaoquan.

Our main store has also moved to Dajing Lane, Hangzhou.

Today, our store has opened a branch in Xindu City, bearing the same name as when the master founded it.

What we do is to clear up the source!

All the knives produced in my Zhang Dalong shop use Longquan’s secret recipe!

Our knives can be passed down to three generations..."

Listening to the shopkeeper's bragging, Zhu Youjian suddenly realized.

No wonder he found this name very familiar!

What a shame!

Isn’t this Zhang Xiaoquan who can’t take pictures of garlic?

Isn’t this Zhang Xiaoquan who claims that China has been cutting vegetables wrongly for thousands of years, and only in order to sell more tires did he get the Michelin rating for cooking skills and can he cut vegetables correctly?

Damn it, this thing actually dares to come to my new city!

Zhu Youjian turned his horse and left.

Fang Yuegong hurriedly followed.

Zhu Youjian ordered calmly:

"Old Fang, I think that Zhang Dalong's store must be at risk of flammability and explosion. Please ask people to check more."
