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

"Your Majesty, I think we should reduce the number of students in the Astronomy College. After all, astronomical research is only for inferring calendars.

The imperial dynasty had just promulgated the "Chongzhen Almanac", but there was no need to change it for hundreds of years.

Therefore, why don’t you send your students elsewhere to learn how to govern the world? "

(This almanac is the current lunar calendar. During the turmoil in the late Ming Dynasty, Western missionaries Tang Ruowang and others kept the engravings privately. It was dedicated to the Qing Dynasty in the early Qing Dynasty.

Shunzhi ordered the almanac to be changed to erase traces of the Ming Dynasty.

This became the "New Western Calendar" that we can see today. )

Zhu Youjian laughed:

"Sun Qing, astronomical calculation is advanced mathematics!

In order to calculate the movement of the earth, the sages used "heaven", "earth" and "people" as assumptions, and successively deduced the "Tian Yuan Technique", "Four Yuan Technique", "Heaven, Earth and Human Axis Technique"...

Even more arrogant to mention "Pythagorean", "square", "prescription", "multi-square"..."

Zhu Youjian sighed in his heart, the glory of his ancestors will no longer be known to future generations.

When I think of mathematics, I think it is Western knowledge.

But I don’t know that whether it is a mathematical definition or a geometric definition, descriptions can be found in ancient Chinese books.

In the end, it became the work of the West...

sorrow!

ridiculous!

……

Sun Zhenglan nodded: "Your Majesty is right, I am confused!

Without the contribution of those arithmetic people, our new capital would not have been built so fast! "

……

Although the construction time of Handu was short, due to the hard work of millions of migrant workers, it has already reached a large scale.

It is indeed difficult to build a city in hilly areas.

What can be done with one point of effort on the plains often requires five points of effort in hilly areas.

But, this matter requires planning in advance.

As long as the charter is drawn up, detailed drawings are refined, and unreasonable things are corrected in a timely manner, everything will be easy to talk about.

It is not a legend that the hard-working Chinese people can rise from the ground like clouds.

Zhu Youjian made a rule that stores with small profits and related to people's livelihood should be placed at the bottom of the flat road.

For example, stores selling heavy goods, such as grain stores, retail stores, tailoring shops, and lumber, porcelain and ironware, which often require large-scale purchases, do not limit their location. As long as they are willing, there will be no interference in their location selection.

However, for entertainment and consumption venues such as hotels, restaurants, brothels, and theaters, such profitable shops are not allowed to be opened at the bottom of the valley!

Although Handu is a low mountainous area, even strictly it can only be called a hilly area.

However, after all, the valley where the road is flat is only that big.

If businesses are allowed to open wherever they want, they can open there.

Then, entertainment venues with huge profits will inevitably occupy the best positions!

Under Zhu Youjian's strict order, various shops in Xindu were strictly classified.

Stores related to people's livelihood and carrying heavy goods are all built at the bottom of the valley.

Entertainment venues are always built on the mountainside or at the top of the mountain.

In this mountainous area, there were still villages in later generations, so building houses was not a big problem.

(This is why I made a special trip to the local area.)

Sun Zhenglan walked behind Zhu Youjian, half a body behind the emperor.

In this way, the emperor could talk to him without turning his head.

Sun Zhenglan made some small actions, but strictly abided by the etiquette of a courtier.

"Your Majesty's method is really admirable!"

Sun Zhenglan looked at a large car in front of him and stopped at the entrance of the grain store that retails grain. The laborers only had to carry sacks and did not need to climb the mountain to enter the grain store's warehouse for storage, and expressed sincere admiration.

"It's all a helpless move."

Zhu Youjian sighed.

There was insufficient arable land in China, so the new capital was his touchstone.

Only when the new capital verified his idea, he could gradually relocate the city that occupied the fertile plain to free up land that was easy to cultivate...

That is the greatest act of kindness.

The two chatted and laughed, then turned a corner and came to another valley.

Because the new capital was built in a mountainous area, the main roads were built along the valley.

Zhu Youjian's smile froze.

Sun Zhenglan's expression changed drastically.

He just wished he could give himself a mouth so that he could die, so why did he bring this up?

At the fork in the road in front of me, I saw a huge brothel covering seven or eight bays, standing on the right side of the road.

Just take a turn from the main road and you will arrive at the entrance of the brothel.

The scent of rouge in the air has become stronger.

Looking up, I saw a huge "Dream Jiangnan" plaque hanging in the center of the brothel.

The large black and gilded characters are each three feet in size.

This plaque alone is worth a lot of money.

Next to Dream of Brothel Jiangnan, in several hastily built thatched sheds, people were coming and going, but surprisingly there were several small workshops of various kinds.

These small workshops with thatched roofs are in sharp contrast to the huge brothels with five floors of green bricks and green tiles and carved beams and painted beams.

"Liu Tichun, surround me and don't let anyone go!"

Zhu Youjian was furious and immediately ordered Liu Tichun to surround the brothel!

Liu Tichun waved his hand, and countless plainclothes Yulin guards swarmed forward and surrounded Meng Jiangnan.

The army surrounded Meng Jiangnan.

Everyone in Mengjiangnan who had just woken up suddenly became panicked, and people were running around in panic everywhere.

However, the Yulin Guards were the emperor's personal guards, and half of the soldiers were refugees, and half were soldiers from the Chuang Army and former Ming Dynasty soldiers. The generals under their command were either surrendered generals from the Chuang Army or the sons of ministers.

Such an army naturally regards the emperor's words as the highest order.

No matter how many people in Mengjiangnan begged and bribed, they remained unmoved.

……

"Where's Ta Tianbao? Let him get here!"

Zhu Youjian's eyes were filled with anger.

Liu Tichun, who had just returned behind the emperor, shrank his neck in fear and his eyes went straight.

Liu Tichun, who had a simple mind without turning around, knew that the emperor was angry.

The secret guards left in a hurry, and not long after, Ta Tianbao, the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division in charge of local affairs in the capital, came in a hurry.

"Chenta Tianbao meets your majesty!"

"Ta Tian Bao!"

Zhu Youjian's face was gloomy and he said coldly:

"Let me ask you, what does your Five Cities Military and Horse Division do?"

Ta Tianbao said hurriedly:

"Back to Your Majesty, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division is responsible for patrolling thieves in the capital, clearing streets and ditches and prisoners, banning fires, and inspecting all illegal things in the capital."

The Five-City Military and Horse Division was originally divided into five divisions: East, South, West, North, and Central. In other words, it was divided into four Military and Horse Divisions in the Outer City, plus the Imperial City Military and Horse Division.

The Five City Military and Horse Department was similar to the police and urban management in later generations, with the addition of fire protection. It was a comprehensive department.

When the new capital was built, Zhu Youjian established a commander-in-chief position above the original five departments to place Ta Tianbao.

If there is any oversight during the inspection, the right person is to look for Ta Tianbao.

Zhu Youjian said angrily:

"I believe in you. I changed the national policy and put all the troops and horses of the five cities under your command. How did you do it?"

Ta Tianbao was sweating like rain.

He still didn't understand what was happening.

Although his position is usually a trivial matter.

However, when it comes to big things, his power is as great as the sky.

As long as there is anything in the capital that violates the law or the emperor's order, he can take care of it.

When building the capital, the emperor issued a strict order that once the capital's plan was promulgated, no one or any form of violation was allowed.

According to the emperor's rules, this brothel must be placed on a mountain or mountainside.

"Your Majesty, calm down, I will go and investigate right now!"

Ta Tianbao lowered his head and spoke hurriedly.

Wang Lian walked to the emperor and lowered his voice:

"Your Majesty, the West City was the first to be built. The applications of merchants here have already been approved. After the tower commander took over the appointment, he focused on the remaining three cities."

The inner city is where the imperial city is located. Those who live in the inner city are all ministers. All planning there is the responsibility of the inner supervisor. Therefore, Ta Tianbao cannot control the inner city.

In other words, the area that Ta Tianbao is actually responsible for is the remaining three cities.

Zhu Youjian snorted coldly:

"I know!"

"but!"

Zhu Youjian pointed at Ta Tianbao:

"I believe in you and gave you the authority to supervise Zhucheng. You didn't even see such an obvious violation!

You, Ta Tianbao, have neglected your duty! "
