Chapter 25: Develop Logistics

Ah?! Li Chengcheng was immediately depressed. Emperor, he just said humbly, why don’t you forget it!

Zhu Youxiao laughed, reached out and pulled open the drawer, took out a small round mirror, and handed it to Li Chengcheng, "I'll give it to you."

Li Chengcheng's mood - one after another, you won't bring such a thing, Emperor.

However, after taking the small mirror, Li Chengcheng was really ecstatic and squatted to show his gratitude.

Everyone has a love for beauty, let alone a young woman.

She has secretly looked at the mirror on the emperor's desk that can make people look extremely clear and clear. She also knows that the mirror is priceless.

But this baby that I couldn't even imagine was obtained. Although it was a little smaller, Li Chengcheng was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Seeing the girl's joy and forced herself to look, Zhu Youxiao was quite moved, but he still held it back.

It is easy to ask for a wife, but it is hard to find a shoveler!

Zhu Youxiao expressed his helpless emotion and wrote a reply to Wu Zheng.

At the same time, he also told Li Dan and Yan Siqi that if they make too much money, they would do good deeds, such as a welfare home for adopting orphans, placing medicine to help the elderly, etc.

What is to give back to society? This is. Being more compassionate and caring for vulnerable groups will also reduce the burden on the country.

After writing here, Zhu Youxiao picked up Wu Dazhang's book, pondered for a while, and replied with a pen.

The disappointment with the gentry and merchants in Jiangnan made Zhu Youxiao rely more on the conquered Tongzhou business gang. Of course, this also has a lot to do with his emphasis on the development and stability of the north.

It is still the same purpose, and the business group will not contribute money and efforts in vain. Zhu Youxiao also proposed a path to expand wealth.

The development of business will force many industries to rise and expand. The most direct thing that Zhu Youxiao could think of at once was logistics, warehousing and transportation, as well as postal services.

Zhu Youxiao’s idea was to rely on the inn, the land was unearthed by the imperial court, the merchants built inns and warehouses, operated independently, and paid taxes according to regulations.

There is no more convenient and faster way than this. The station is set up according to distance, and it is above the official road. It is equivalent to the ready-made planning and location selection, and even some houses and personnel are ready-made.

Speaking of ancient post stations, they are really an interesting product. They are not only the postal communication system of the court, but also public guesthouses and logistics transit stations.

Because officials can eat and live for free with Kanhe or Fire Cards and replace horses. In special periods, the post stations also transport food, grass, military supplies and supplies to the court.

In the late Yuan Dynasty, as the corruption system worsened, the post station became a free benefit for powerful officials to eat and live for free. Even merchants, monks and others could use money to sell certificates for food and accommodation at the post station.

This undoubtedly increased the financial expenditure of the court and increased the burden on the people.

After the founding of the country, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang clearly stipulated that the post station could only be provided to officials who had to do business on business trips in the court, and no one else could use it.

In order to warn officials and the people and to prove the authority and seriousness of this law, Zhu Baba even executed a powerful man in the court.

However, in the late Ming Dynasty, the post station system also repeated the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty, but there were some differences in the severity.

Of course, the corruption of the post station is not worth the emperor's personal action. Bi Zisu's inspector has already regarded the abuse of the post station as a project to assess officials.

Strictly control the survey and integration, determine the hospitality standards and number of people, and adopt the registration and reporting system for the station. These three measures, coupled with the heavy punishment and strict governance, will still be effective in changing the current situation.

Now, the inn and warehouses will be built, logistics and transportation will be strengthened, the postal system will be launched, and private communications will be increased. The benefits obtained will not only improve the lives of the postmen, but will also benefit the people.

Little Lizi, will you still rebel this time? Be a postman honestly!

Zhu Youxiao put down his pen and showed a proud and a little cunning smile.

Guiyang.

It has been more than two months since the siege was broken, and the trauma caused by the war has not yet recovered, but new weather has been revealed.

To attract flow, broaden the cultivation and restore the economy, Guizhou Governor Wang Sanshan was in charge of Guiyang, and soon began a series of measures to stabilize society and revitalize the local area.

It depends on the gold, flowers and silver drawn by the emperor, to buy grain to ensure the people, recruit soldiers and actually serve as soldiers. Wang Sanshan was also a diligent official, and the place quickly settled down.

The Ming army confronted the rebels in Luguang River and Yachi River. Because they lacked water fighters and ships, they were not in a hurry to cross the river to fight.

After the rebels in the besieged city suffered losses and lost their generals, some ethnic minority groups surrendered and surrendered to the Ming army. An Bangyan felt that he was weak and did not dare to cross the river to invade. He dug trenches deep along the river to increase his troops to defend.

The Luguang River is a section of the Yachi River flowing through Xiuwen and Xifeng counties in the upper reaches of the Wujiang River, and is located in the southwest of the water.

The "Zhi Zhi" says: The largest river in the west is Lu Guang, the upper flow is called Yachi, the lower flow flows eastward, Huangshadu, which meets Qingshui River, and the eastward meets Fu River, and Yachi is called Yachi River."

Both the enemy and us use the river as the defense line, step up preparations and arrangements, waiting for the next battle.

Wang Sanshan, the current governor of Guizhou, was a Jinshi in the 29th year of Wanli. He had been ups and downs for decades. He was almost sixty years old, but he still did not attach himself to the powerful and upright.

At the same time, he was very disappointed with the intrigues and party struggles in the officialdom. He took leave several times and returned home, and did not return after the deadline. In the 47th year of Wanli, he never returned to the court by taking advantage of the reason for his wife to return to her hometown to attend the funeral.

It was not until the reign of Taichang in Ming Dynasty that Emperor Guangzong ascended the throne and appointed King Sanshan as Taichang Shaoqing that he had no choice but to return to the capital.

Since he was ordered to quell the rebellion, Wang Sanshan has worked hard to gather troops and accumulate food. Finally, with the help of reinforcements from the Beijing camp, he attacked fiercely in three groups, defeated 100,000 rebels, and lifted the siege of Guiyang.

Wang Sanshan was quite proud of his ambitions with less, but what made him unhappy was that the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp refused to obey his orders.

To be precise, he did not implement his order to cross the Lu Guanghe River and take advantage of the victory to attack the rebels. However, for the rebels to make a comeback, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp were arranged in strict arrangements and had no obstacles to take advantage of.

After the imperial court appointed Zhu Xieyuan to govern the military affairs of five provinces and Wang Sanshan also received the strategy of suppressing the rebellion, he realized that the Jing camp was acting in accordance with the will of the emperor, not as timid and timid.

Be steady and enterprising, and do not make any progress in depth. Whether it is Zhu Xieyuan's writing or the imperial decree, this point has been repeatedly emphasized.

Even though Wang Sanshan had some opinions, he did not dare to act without permission. Depressing his dissatisfaction, Wang Sanshan still carried out the arrangements of the court without fail.

After more than two months of recovery, the people were basically stable, the government army stabilized the defense line, and the blockade of Shuixi became increasingly tight.

At this time, Wang Sanshan and former governor Li Wei, Li, had just inspected the newly built gunpowder weapon factory outside the city and rode a horse back to the city.

Li Wei was a talented official who stood out in the defense of Guiyang. With less than 3,000 soldiers, he recruited brave men and resisted the siege of Anbangyan's rebels for several months, which shows his courage and strategy.

Li Wei, who had experienced hardships and was about to step down, should have felt relieved. However, Li Wei, who was relaxed, was depressed and in a depressed mood.

Wang Sanshan knew some clues, and there was no other attack from the court officials.

Before An Bangyan rebelled, Li Wei saw that this guy had ulterior motives, and Guiyang's urban defense and food storage made him even more worried.

In order to prevent problems before they happen, he submitted memorials to the court many times, requesting increased troops and military pay.

However, the court was eager to conquer Liao, and had no time to take care of it, so it ignored Li Xiao's request. At this moment, Li Xiao was attacked by court officials again, so he submitted a memorial six times, begging for retirement.

The court proposed that Wang Sanshan be appointed as the governor of Guizhou, and ordered Li Xiao to continue his post before the new governor took office. Then An Bangyan rebelled and Guiyang was besieged, and Li Xiao also took on the important task of defending Guiyang.

After months of besieging the city, dangers arose. Li Wei united the gentry, recruited brave men, and worked hard with the governor, censor Shi Yong'an and other officials to protect Guiyang.

At the most critical moment, Li Wei even prepared to kill himself, that is, "burn books, crowns and clothes, and abstain from his family. If he is anxious, he will commit suicide, and he will be given a knife ring."

Logically speaking, the court would definitely reward such contributions and such merits. After Wang Sanshan took over, he and Li Wei submitted a memorial to the court, requesting that the meritorious person be rewarded.

However, the court had not responded yet, but the news came. The censor Jiang Yunyi stretched out the chin and Li Xiao said that when An Zhen was attacking the chieftain of Shuixi, Li Xiao ransomed him for the Golden Powder, causing the An family to rebellion.

The news was like the wind, and there was no report from the palace, nor the court asked. Li Wei could not write a letter to defend himself. How could he not feel depressed!

"Mr. Li." Wang Sanshan was quite sympathetic and couldn't help but comfort him: "The incident of catching wind and shadows should not be disturbed before it is confirmed."

Li Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your comfort. It's just that before Guiyang was surrounded, there were court officials attacking him, and he had submitted a memorial to ask for retirement. Unexpectedly, now, again..."

Seeing Li Wei shook his head repeatedly, Wang Sanshan was also helpless. People were fighting hard in front, and there were impeachment attacks behind them. This was not uncommon.

The key is, what can you understand when you are thousands or tens of thousands of miles away? It is still good to hearsay, and it is not uncommon to make up randomly.

"Long live, you are a wise monarch." Wang Sanshan bowed and said, "I can distinguish right from wrong, and tell the story of Lord Li's achievements in staying alone in the city."

Li Wei blinked his eyes and bowed, "Long live the holy clarity."

Seeing that Li Wei's heart knot was still unsolved, Wang Sanshan had no choice but to change the topic and ask about the customs and customs around Guiyang to understand the situation more.

When they were about to arrive at the city gate, two cavalry galloped out. Seeing Wang Sanshan and others, they hurried forward to report that the imperial envoy had arrived and asked the two adults to go and receive the order quickly.

Wang Sanshan and Li Wei did not dare to be negligent, so they hurriedly rushed to the governor's office.

The officials in the yamen had already set up incense tables in the main hall. Another civil servant was accompanying the Qin envoy to drink tea and talk in the side hall.

Wang Sanshan and Li Wei hurriedly came forward to see each other, and the imperial envoy was polite, asking the two to sit for a while, and then announced the order together when the inspector Shi Yong'an arrived.

Compared to Wang Sanshan, Li Wei was nervous. He didn't know whether the imperial edict was awarded or punished, and whether the news he heard was true or false.
