Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Ming Dynasty, May of the first year of Yongle.

Beijing.

Although the new emperor ascended the throne last year, people in the capital didn't really feel much about it.

Because the Crown Prince's wife, the Crown Prince, the Princess and so on of the Prince of Yan's family have all been staying in the capital.

The Crown Prince's wife and the princesses are still active in the capital, taking care of various affairs of the Prince of Yan's Palace.

Prince Ning and Princess Ning were also running around the streets.

The young master of Prince Yan's Mansion would even gather his playmates at the gate of the mansion to play war games.

Everyone just does what they should do.

With the new emperor returning from the capital, he spent the New Year in the capital in a low-key manner.

The people celebrated enthusiastically.

I still feel that the new emperor's family is still approachable.

It was not until the beginning of the year when the new emperor brought the beloved Empress Xu back to the capital for the enthronement ceremony and the royal carriages and flags slowly driving out of the city gate gave them a sense of reality.

Everyone was reluctant to leave.

Everyone knows that the capital is developing so well now, it is impossible that no vassal kings will come again.

But no one knew which vassal king would take over the capital.

If he is someone who is difficult to get along with, he may even be promiscuous.

Ordinary people in the capital may return to their old lives of miserliness and precariousness.

As for the Baochao, the common people all knew about it through the caravans that passed by, and the price outside had dropped to the ground.

So will the money in their hands become worthless again?

Everyone was in a low mood and anxious.

The original convenient money service of Prince Yan's Mansion is still there, and some merchants are trying to exchange it for silver, and they are really able to do so.

It resolved most people’s concerns.

But what really made everyone feel relieved was that a large number of white-faced and beardless men appeared in various places in the capital.

They walked around holding all kinds of strange things in their hands and gesticulating.

In the city, in the suburbs, and even in the mountains and forests, he can go everywhere.

People who know the business said that they were people from the capital who were doing measurements before building the house.

Not long after, more and more people poured into the capital.

Then came the exciting news.

The new emperor wants to move the capital.

This new capital is the capital.

The new emperor will come personally to guard this border land where he has cultivated for many years.

The new emperor, as the supreme ruler of a country, must personally guard the country's borders and resist foreign enemies.

The new emperor also wanted to build the capital into the best and most powerful capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The original capital will become a secondary capital in the future.

This matter has been completely settled.

Since the capital city is to be the imperial capital, a large imperial city must be built.

The former Peking Provincial Government issued a notice to recruit a large number of civilian workers and women to build the imperial city.

Moreover, it is not limited to unpaid corvée.

Once the service is completed, those who are willing to continue working will be paid and provided with two meals.

The entire Yan area was in an uproar.

The two main streets in the center are crowded with people every day.

The capital was going to build an imperial city. Anyone who had been to the capital would describe to everyone how grand the imperial city was.

The construction of the imperial city in the capital took more than ten years.

That was an addition and expansion based on the original foundation.

Anyone who is not too stupid would understand that the job of building the imperial city could take at least a dozen years.

Ordinary people do not know the difficulty of the change of imperial power, nor can they feel the invisible struggles.

But having work to do is the biggest benefit.

The shops in the city received more goods, and there were more vendors walking through the streets and alleys.

A young girl with an unmarried hairstyle can go out on the street with peace of mind wearing a veil.

Not to mention the little woman, who went to the shops with confidence to look for prices and buy things.

There is a constant stream of people queuing up to enter and exit the capital every day.

The old men farming outside the city are all smiling.

The manure from the endless stream of donkey carts, horse carts and ox carts was picked up and fermented using the method announced by the Prince of Yan's Palace to become top-quality fertilizer, which could help to increase the grain harvest by three to five dou this season.

The whole capital city is filled with a sense of comfort, relaxation and thriving development.

The smart people in the rural counties bordering the Yan area have already moved their household registration to the capital one after another.

If you can't be a military household, being a civilian household is also good.

With a household registration in the capital, one can exchange his originally worthless treasure notes for auspicious cloud treasure notes.

In the capital, people could start exchanging the original treasure notes for silver after the New Year.

But everyone will settle accounts.

The exchange rate for silver was based on the currency exchange rate in the capital. After the new emperor ascended the throne, the currency exchange rate rebounded, but it was still very low.

Even if the exchange amount of Xiangyun Baochao is not full, it is still much better than exchanging it for silver.

At this time, Yan was still encouraging border residents to migrate, and all policies were extremely beneficial to the people.

If there are many people in the family, they can work hard to open up a plot of land of ten or eight acres, and then they can be exempted from taxes for several years.

With the grain saved over the past few years, we can continue to reclaim wasteland.

The excitement is simply indescribable.

As a result, the registered population in Yan area has almost doubled compared to before.

The prices of merchants and vagrants were no less high, with the prices increasing by at least two times.

The family where Zhu Di had eaten.

The place where Zhu Di lay in the street.

It has become a place that everyone passes on by word of mouth.

The former act of pretending to be crazy and stupid has become an anecdote in the new emperor's secret residence.

Those former people from the Prince of Yan's Mansion who stayed in the capital have been sending reports of the capital's developments to the capital via letters.

Every time Zhu Di finished reading a letter, he felt like laughing and crying at the same time. After reading the latest letter, he returned to Jinshen Hall and started to talk to Xu.

"There are really more people in the capital than in the capital now."

"They really love the emperor."

Xu smiled. Her husband would be angry every day when he came back from court, and only when he read the letter from the capital would he be secretly happy.

"We're going to live in the capital at the end of the year?"

Zhu Di proposed.

"Just the two of us?"

Xu had no objection, but they were the only two who seemed a little unfair.

Zhu Zhiming started to make trouble in a hurry, and she was afraid that she would not be able to control him if she didn't support him.

"It's time for us to live a comfortable life."

Zhu Di curled his lips. He hugged the standing Xu into his arms, leaned his head against hers, and said sullenly.

"I feel like I've always lived a very comfortable life. My man is the best man in the world."

Xu lifted up Zhu Di's head and kissed him on the mouth.

"How disrespectful! Another one!"

Zhu Di's face turned a little red, and he glared at Bixi who was watching closely and the eunuch who temporarily replaced Zheng He.

"Ten more will do!"

Xu was so happy that she kissed him several times in a row.

"So, in the past, the king would not hold court early in the morning."

Zhu Di sighed.

"Hehehe, if the emperor really doesn't attend the morning court, then he's not the emperor anymore."

Xu smiled evilly.

"Let's go for a walk?"

"Okay. Change your shoes for the emperor. He's been wearing them all day, so they need to be light."

"Yes, ma'am."

"I'll change into something old."

"Yes, ma'am."

The couple, who were not very old, strolled out of the gate of Jinshen Hall and started walking on the palace road.

After walking for a while, Zhu Di saw that Xu was always half a step behind.

He simply stopped, waited for Xu to come forward, took her hand and walked side by side with her.
