The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

"Life and death are bearish! If you don't accept it, do it!" Yan Song's domineering words echoed in Wenyuan Pavilion.

At this moment, Bao Zheng admitted that he was deeply moved by Yan Song's words...

·············

He thinks he is loyal to the emperor, the people, and the country, but compared with the treacherous official Yan Song...

Huh?Why is this treacherous minister more courageous than me, a loyal minister?Not afraid of death?

Who is loyal?Who is the traitor?

It is precisely because of this conversation that Bao Zheng, who has always been indifferent to Yan Song, is determined to follow Yan Song!

Push for reform!For the country and the people!

Bao Zheng thought of this, and worked harder to become a traitor: "His Royal Highness, this matter cannot let Yan Song pass the test smoothly. It is time for us to take the opportunity to buy people's hearts."

................

The prince laughed triumphantly and said, "What a Bao Qingtian! That's right, the lonely king has already taken the opportunity to invite people's hearts, subduing these civil servants and military generals who are extremely dissatisfied with Yan Song's reforms, and noble families. There is an endless stream of people who have come to visit the lonely king recently. Absolutely, they all mentioned heavy gifts, hoping that the lonely king can make decisions for them. Haha, the lonely king also needs to thank Yan Song, if he doesn't follow this stupid trick, how can the hearts of the people in the court return to the lonely king?"

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng sang praises one after another.

Behind them, Bao Zheng's face became more gloomy.

He finally saw clearly the gap between the crown prince and Yan Song.

Yan Song is as long as he looks for the country and the people, he can go to the front and step on the minefields.

And the prince, just to consolidate his power, is keen to fight for power and profit, without the slightest sense of responsibility and adventure for the country and society.

Fortunately, Bao Zheng's complexion was darker than that of Africans, otherwise he would be so stern and dark-faced, the prince must have noticed that it was abnormal.

"Take advantage of this opportunity, the lonely king will widely buy people's hearts! Prepare for the court push!" The prince danced excitedly: "All parties and honorable families have agreed to the lonely king, as long as the lonely king can stop these two reforms at the great court meeting If the plan is passed, they will vote for Gao Gong and Bao Zheng, and become cabinet elders!"

Gao Gong's eyes turned green with excitement, and Bao Zheng rolled his eyes forcefully on his black face, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

Chapter 1545 Construction in Shanghai in full swing [4]

At the same time, Shanghai Beach.

Daming has approved the Shanghai construction plan, and the first tranche of 6000 million yuan has also been allocated.

The specific material supply and construction plan have been basically finalized after Yan Song's coordination with various parties.

In order to compete for this big business, various big businessmen came from all over Ming Dynasty.

Steel plants, cement plants, pouring plants, etc. have sprung up around Shanghai like mushrooms, and have sprung up one after another.

Hundreds of thousands of migrant workers came from Shandong, Hubei, Hunan and other places.

At this time, although it was a cold winter in the north, and the Chinese New Year had just passed, the temperature in Shanghai was still acceptable for construction.And the impatient Minister of Kaihai and the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province, Hai Rui, has already issued a notice to the surrounding provinces, informing that the project can start on "[-]" and recruiting migrant workers to enter the site.

Hai Rui was taking his subordinates to patrol the beach to check the construction situation.

Seeing hundreds of thousands of migrant workers coming from various places in boats, carts, ox carts, and even on foot, Hairuina finally showed a smile on his stern face in the cold sea breeze.

Beside him, Descartes, one of the designers of Shanghai City Lord and a great mathematician, praised: "It's unbelievable. It's only the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the year is not over yet. Hundreds of thousands of migrant workers have poured in."

Michelangelo, another chief designer and master of the Renaissance, while holding a deep-fried dough stick in his mouth, showing his foodie nature, nodded and praised: "I am also worried that the Chinese people value the Spring Festival and family affection. Before the fifteenth day, there will be no Someone came to work. Now the lazy Europeans are completely blown away. In our Italy, even if they are given a lot of money, the workers are lazy, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days."

Hai Rui snorted coldly and said, "Last year, Shandong was hit by earthquakes and droughts, Jiaodong and Taizhou were hit by severe transgressions, and millions of people were affected, and Hubei was hit by the flood of the Yangtze River, which also affected millions of people. Hunan suffered a drought, and hundreds of thousands of people had no food to eat. People everywhere, not to mention the New Year, have problems eating. In the construction of our new city in Shanghai, Yan Song, the treacherous official, finally considered Zhou Xiang and did a great deed. Let these The victims were provided with work for relief, and it was also stipulated that they would be paid a penny a day as wages. When these victims heard the news, they rushed to Shanghai with their families overnight! Because there is food here, and there is a chance of survival!"

As he spoke, there were tears in his eyes.

Descartes and Michelangelo were silent.

It is said that it was the prosperous age of Jiajing, but it really complied with that sentence, the prosperity of the people is suffering, and the death of the people is suffering.

Even if Yan Song worked hard to govern, even if there was no major war in these years, the lives of ordinary people are still difficult.

In Shandong alone, Northwest Shandong suffers from frequent diversions of the Yellow River, and there are floods almost every year (some statistics show that in the 284 years of the Qing Dynasty, Shandong suffered more than 270 major floods, and the Yellow River diverted countless times, with an average of one flood a year). Southwest Shandong suffered from drought, and Taizhou on the Jiaodong Peninsula suffered from transgression and seawater intrusion. In addition, Shandong is located on a seismically active plate, and there are countless disasters.

Even in the so-called prosperous Jiajing period, there were still millions of disaster victims who could not pass the last year.

Yan Song took advantage of this opportunity to build a new city in Shanghai to provide relief for these victims with work, and attracted them to start work in Shanghai one after another.

Therefore, although it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, the victims can just go to Shanghai, which is relatively warm in the south, to carry out construction.

In addition, people in Nanzhili and other people around Shanghai, because of the slack in winter, besides having children at home, they just gamble. They heard that Mr. Yan Ge is going to build a new city in Shanghai, and they earn a penny a day, so they also rushed to make money.

The busy farming season is after March.Counting from now, there are still three full months. If a strong laborer earns one penny a day, after three months, he can earn nine taels of silver!

For ordinary people, this is a huge sum of money, almost enough to cover the whole family's living expenses for a year.

This is exactly Yan Song's brilliance.

He thinks carefully about issues and is good at choosing the right time.

In ancient times, large-scale projects were carried out during the slack season, so as not to miss the farming season and planting the land.

Therefore, what Hai Rui, Michelangelo and others saw was a continuous army of millions of migrant workers coming from all over the world...

"Okay!" Hai Rui wiped away his tears, rolled up his sleeves, and said energetically, "We must live up to the expectations of the emperor's cabinet and people, and build a new city in Shanghai!"

Behind, a subordinate weakly said: "Lord Hai, didn't you just gnash your teeth at Mr. Yan Ge the day before yesterday, saying that you were at odds with him? Why did you start working for him again in a blink of an eye?"

Hai Rui: "..."
