The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Chapter 2516 Border Town Status [3]

Zhu Siyuan, let alone a pig climbing a tree, even a flying pig, we will arrest you and apologize to the people of Datong

Seeing so many people's anger and grievances, Zhu Siyuan also knew that he had broken his promise, and accidentally said what was in his heart, his face turned pale, and he said repeatedly: "No, no, it's not that the old man looks down on Datong, it's just

He can't make it up

Yan Song secretly laughed

A major symptom of the demise of the Ming Dynasty was the antagonism between the North and the South

Contradictions originate from misunderstanding, and more originate from indica

The northern part of the Ming Dynasty has always been plagued by natural and man-made disasters such as the invasion of nomads and the flooding of the Yellow River, while the southern part of the Ming Dynasty is extremely rich and pleasant, with a pleasant climate and peaceful singing and dancing.

Every year, the imperial court needs to reduce or exempt money and food in the north, and even take out money from the treasury to support the livelihood of the people in the north

The economy and culture of the North lag behind that of the South in an all-round way.

In terms of imperial examinations, the level of imperial examinations in the south is much higher than that in the north.Whether it is the number of candidates or the rankings obtained, the three major imperial examination provinces in the country are Nanzhili (Jiangsu), Jiangxi, and Zhejiang (later Fujian also came up.)

As a result of the imperial examination to strengthen the province, 227 is an official product of the Ming Dynasty, and most of them are from the south.

There are few people in the north

When the southerners came to Beijing to be officials, they lacked affection for the north. They were neither willing to invest in resources nor to learn more about the sufferings of the people. The fallen leaves return to their roots. At this time, they serve as officials in the imperial court to do things for the elders in their hometown. Even after retiring, the elders in their hometown will naturally reciprocate

This situation has led to the north getting more and more concerned, the south getting richer, and the national policy is also inclined to the south.

For example, the salt tax is a very strange one, and the court officials are unwilling to raise the tax rate.

This is the contribution of the powerful Nanzhili officials to the Yangzhou salt merchants

The reason why Zhu Siyuan and Yan Song are so opposed to the direction of the railway, so fiercely confronted, is it not for local interests in the final analysis?

In Zhu Siyuan's view, this land of Great Harmony has no other value except guarding the frontier for the imperial court and fighting the dead.With this railway line, it is better to invest in the rich and prosperous south, so that it is convenient for the elders in the south.

This is called icing on the cake, the strong get stronger

But Yan Song's thoughts are very different.

He felt that the study of the north of the Ming Dynasty was not poor since ancient times, but because the war in the north was too much, it seriously affected the development of the north.

just look at the history

Since ancient times, as long as the north fell, few of the Han regimes in the south could survive independently under the iron cavalry of the barbarians. Think about it, how many of the regimes starting with the word "South" survived?

Southern Tang, Southern Song, Southern Ming

Among them, the Southern Song Dynasty lasted the longest, able to live for 150 years, not because of how alive Song Gaozong was, but because of the "Shame of Jingkang" of the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty and rob Song Huizong Qinzong. Bianliang, the capital city of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the giants of the Northern Song Dynasty fell suddenly, but the elite soldiers of the North, Northwest, and Hebei were still alive in the Song Dynasty, and they all retreated to the south of the Yangtze River. Jin dynasty attack

In the final analysis, it was the northerners who crossed the south, bringing with them elite military forces

The Xiongnu squatted after the Turks squatted, the Turks squatted after the Xianbei squatted, the Khitan squatted after the Jinren squatted, and the Jinren Zunyi finally got rid of these people. Genghis Khan brought the Mongolian cavalry to clear the field

In a word, whoever guards so many nomads who are so lucky to be coaxed, who rise one after another like vegetables, and vicious neighbors, will be unlucky and poor (chff

The border fights every day and the nomads invade every year. This life can only be lived by ghosts. It is even worse if the southerners live in the north.

Even so, the economy of the north has always surpassed that of the south before the Southern Song Dynasty

Now, Yan Song pays more attention to a powerful resource in Datong, which can benefit the country and the people, and allow Daming to develop in a balanced manner

Seeing Zhu Siyuan being disgusted by the people of Datong, Yan Song sniggered in his heart and coughed before the people calmed down

All the common people, "Yan Song said lightly: "The attitude of the pig climbing the tree does not mean that my court treats Datong.The imperial court attaches great importance to the gap between the north and the south, and not the church attaches great importance to the sufferings of the people of Datong.In a word, the ten kings of grass and leeks in the world are all kings!The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are all the same meat to my Son of Heaven!If you don't believe me, the Datong Railway, which cost 3 million silver, will be completed? "

When Yan Song spoke, the people of Datong were elated. They knelt down to Jiajing and said, "Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord! Jiajing smiled like a flower and waved frequently, but he was thinking about

As expected of Yan Aiqing, this pig climbing a tree is really unethical, and a few words annoyed the people, while Yan Aiqing only wanted a few words at the banquet, and attracted the people to the couplet and the court to be grateful.Alas, why is the gap between people so big?

While pretending to be coercive to the people, the emperor looked at Yan Song appreciatively, and at the same time glared at Zhu Shangshu viciously.

Zhu Siyuan has fainted in the toilet

What Yan Song said made the people of Datong very happy

"Old Yan Ge is still a good man."

Alas, the imperial court never looked at me Datong seriously, except to pay

This railway repair here is an act of blessing the people!

"but

An old man stood up and said with a bitter face: "Mr. Yan Ge, thank you for supporting me in Datong! If you want to get rich, you should go first, I understand the old man! Why did Yu Gong move mountains? Isn't it because of the king? The two mountains in the house and Taihang block the way out? It’s just that as a person who has lived in Datong for generations, I don’t know what special products I have in Datong, which can be transported out in exchange for wealth.

The excited Datong people beside them also fell into silence and looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yes

Although Yan Song has repaired the railway for them, the road alone is not enough

No resources, no products, what can I use to transport them by rail to exchange for money?

Don't you still have to be poor?

Chapter 2517 Datong’s Super Coal Mine [4]

Seeing these ten-year-old and ten-year-old Datong people, who didn't know what else he could transport out to exchange for money, Zhu Siyuan immediately resurrected. He jumped up, raised his toes, and sternly said to Yan Song: "Mr. Yange, did you hear that?" Hahahaha! Even the local people don’t know what else can be transported by railway in exchange for money. You still say that the railway is repaired correctly? No loss? I think you are crazy!
