The Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty was much wider than later generations, and it was about ten miles wide in the Wuchang section. When it arrived at the Jiujiang section of Jiangxi Province, the river water slowed down and the river surface was twenty miles wide. A large ship sailed on the Yangtze River as if sailing in a lake, and could not see the other shore at a glance.

Now that the entire south bank of the Yangtze River is occupied by Zhu Hongsan, the emerging bourgeoisie represented by Zhu Hongsan has begun to extend the trade route to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and cargo ships on the Yangtze River have gradually increased. Among these cargo ships, there are six large ships, which are different from ordinary Chinese Fu Ships, but are similar to the Flanger warships on the ocean, with dense gun doors on both sides of the ship.

Some Guangdong merchants knew that these were warships of the Guangdong Navy. These ships were still small, and there were more than a dozen huge warships at the estuary of the Yangtze River. Merchants did not know what these warships that were supposed to be sailing on the sea ran to the inland for, but following them meant safety, so there were more than twenty merchant ships behind these six warships.

What these merchants didn't know was that these warships were the guard ships sent by Emperor Shenwu to Wuchang to welcome Prince Zhu Hai, and Prince Zhu Hai was now having a long talk with his adviser Qian Sunai at the bow of the ship.

Jiangxi is already very cold in December, especially on the Yangtze River, the wind is strong, and the mink worn by Zhu Hai cannot resist the cold wind blowing into his collar. Although his body is cold, Zhu Hai's heart is hot because of what Qian Sunai said just now.

"Your Highness, now these Huguang nobles rely on His Majesty's trust and are headed by the Ma family, Tong family and Feng family. They will occupy the industries of ordinary people in Nanzhili for major events. In this way, they will definitely become a family like the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, the situation where aristocratic families control the government in the late Eastern Han Dynasty will reappear in this dynasty. Your Highness must prepare for the future!"

Zhu Hai smiled bitterly and said, "I know what Zigao said. Why did these more than 200 relatives on my ship go to Nanjing? Isn't it just going with the idea of ​​pretending to be a fox and a tiger, but I am just the prince now, so I really have the will but not enough!"

Zhu Hai was very clear that he was not good at speaking now, and Zhu Hongsan is the one who is in charge of the family now. Only Zhu Hongsan is alive for one day and he is the second-in-command. Chinese people know that the second-in-command is basically a waste, and he is not as good as the secretary who speaks. At the same time, he must be careful not to make the top leader think about seizing power.

Of course Qian Sunai, a smart man, knows these things. Now that he and Zhu Hai are talking about these things, it is not just a matter of persuading Zhu Hai to rebel, it is basically the same as seeking death.

"Your Highness, of course I know this. Now His Majesty's great cause is the Northern Expedition, and the Huguang nobles are the cornerstone of His Majesty. In addition, the emperor is a very nostalgic person, so I guess I will not attack the Huguang nobles in his lifetime. But His Majesty must consider it for the future!"

"Zigao, I know what you think, but my uncle is the head of the nobles of Huguang. I really can't deal with my uncle!"

Qian Sunai knew that it was not because Zhu Hai could not bear to attack his uncles, but now he had to rely on these Huguang nobles, who were afraid that their conversations with him would be leaked, which led to these people supporting Qin King Zhu Jiang.

"Your Highness, I don't know if this world is the Zhu family or the Ma family. Will the future emperor still talk to the Ma family?"

Zhu Hai now feels that Qian Sunai is simply a spy sent by Qian Qianyi, and he is provoking his relationship with his second uncle Ma Mingyuan.

Zhu Hai frowned slightly and asked, "Zigao, why did you say that today? Is it what Master Qian Ge Lao meant?"

Now the court knows that Ma Mingyuan and Tong Yangjia are incompatible, and Qian Qianyi and Tong Yangjia are in good terms. Today, Qian Sunai encourages Zhu Hai to ascend the throne and clean up the Ma family, which inevitably makes Zhu Hai suspicious.

When Qian Sunai heard Zhu Hai say this, he silently took out a thin booklet from his arms and handed it to Zhu Hai and said, "I am loyal to Your Highness here. Please watch it!"

Zhu Hai took it over and looked carefully. The booklet was very thin, with two lines of words written on the cover, "Spread the resident into the acres" and "Officials and gentry are ones to pay grain together." Zhu Hai opened and looked at it, and his face turned pale immediately.

Zhu Hai immediately tore the book to pieces and threw it into the river, and whispered to Qian Sunai: "Mr. Qian, I know your loyalty, but I must not reveal this kind of thing before I ascend the throne. Don't talk about you at that time, even the position of the prince of this palace will be insured!"

This stall is divided into a mu and the officials and gentry as a member of the government and gentry. Qian Sunai heard Zhu Hongsan talk intermittently while bragging with Zhu Hongsan, and then Qian Sunai sorted it out in private. Of course, this was done by Zhu Hongsan, because scholars in this era did not have to pay any taxes. It was okay in the early dynasty, because the world was in chaos, the population was almost wiped out, and there was a lot of land, so the national tax revenue could still be maintained normally. However, in less than a few years, with the increase of population, there must be more scholars, and the financial income was insufficient to make ends meet. Chongzhen Dynasty is an example. In fact, during the Wanli period, the tax collected from land was difficult to maintain the operation of the country, but Emperor Wanli firmly controlled the mines and the local market departments had an income of more than one million taels each year, which was why he maintained such a large country.

But when Wanli died, everything changed. The new emperor was Emperor Taichang Zhu Changluo, who was supported by the Donglin Party. As soon as this buddy who had been a miserable prince for more than 20 years, he forgot what his father Wanli said to him, handed over all the millions of taels of deposit in the inner court to the Ministry of Revenue, and handed over all the mines and the Maritime Bureau. Fortunately, Zhu Changluo, a buddy, only served as the emperor for a month. In the last four years, the Emperor Zhu Youxiao, found that the country was handed over to the Donglin Party, these stinky ninth princes were not enough, so he borrowed Wei Zhongxian to reactivate the tax supervision and Maritime Bureau in various places. Because of this, during the seven years of Tianqi reign, although Liaodong had been with the Qing Dynasty, the severe drought in Guanli, Shaanxi, and Henan was no worse than the seventeen years of Chongzhen's reign, there was no major chaos, and the national rule was barely working, precisely because the court still had some money.

However, Chongzhen, who thought he was in charge, came to power (there were many doubts about the death of Emperor Tianqi. You can take a look at Empression and Chundao 2. There is some history in it, and there is also the Apocalypse Big Bang. You may not know that this big explosion scared Emperor Tianqi's only son to death, and a year later, Emperor Tianqi also died, and the matter inside was a bit intriguing). The Tax Supervision and Maritime Bureau were immediately abolished, and the national finance relied entirely on land finance.

Zhu Hongsan, who was later generations, knew these things clearly. When he first traveled through time, Zhu Hongsan also planned to start playing the tricks that Yongzheng had played in later generations, but when Zhu Hongsan became emperor, he realized that things were simple. Zhu Hongsan's rule was the nobles of Huguang, and these people were his capital. The army and factories needed these people to operate. The power of the scholar group was too great, so big that Zhu Hongsan did not dare to mention the matter of placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a placing a

For his great cause, Zhu Hongsan had to endure it and could only continue to give these scholars and officials privileges. However, who is Zhu Hongsan? If he doesn't do it now, it doesn't mean he won't do it in the future. While giving the scholars and officials privileges, Zhu Hongsan was selecting some radical young people, and slowly penetrated out the two killing weapons of "spreading the ranks into the acres" and "officials and gentry as one to pay grain".

So far, Zhu Hongsan's plan has been very successful. The young people of the seventeen or eighteen are at a time of active thought. They have received the traditional education of Confucian "family, country, and the world" and have some ideas of serving the people. Qian Sunai is a typical example.

As a member of the ruling class, Qian Sunai was very clear about some things within his class. At the same time, Qian Sunai had also seen wars in the north and knew that there were problems in this country, so when he arrived in Guangzhou, he immediately became Zhu Hongsan's target of winning. Qian Sunai did not disappoint and easily accepted Zhu Hongsan's radical ideas.

This idea is also the key reason that prompted Qian Sunai to surrender to Zhu Hai. King Zhu Jiang of Qin was the representative of the nobles of Huguang, and King Zhu Huai of Chu was even more incompatible with traditional literati. After he took office, he could not implement the two principles of "spreading acres to earn acres" and "officials and gentry as one to pay grain". After choosing, the prince Zhu Hai, who was single and lonely, was the only candidate. In addition, the support of the prince was Ma Mingyuan, the reformist party in the court, and Ma Mingyuan's little brother Chen Zilong, was also a fellow member of Qian Sunai. It is not surprising that Qian Sunai came to surrender to Zhu Hai.

Today, Zhu Hai saw Qian Sunai take out this booklet and knew that Qian Sunai really wanted to rely on him. You should know that the Qian family is a big landlord in Nanzhili, with a family of over 100,000 mu of grain land. After these two policies were implemented, the Qian family suffered a great loss. So until now, Zhu Hai completely believed in Qian Sunai's loyalty.

Zhu Hai held Qian Sunai's hand and said affectionately: "Brother Zigao, when I ascend the throne, Brother Zigao will be my prime minister!" Zhu Hai now completely believes in Qian Sunai, and the word is no longer used by this palace, but the equal title "I".

Qian Sunai saw Zhu Hai's feelings revealed, and knelt on the bow of the boat and said, "When your Highness ascends the throne, I will be Shang Yang of Your Highness, and Wang Anshi of Your Highness!" You should know that these two people had a bad end in history. Shang Yang was broken by the car, and Wang Anshi was even scolded by contemporary people and later generations to death.

Zhu Hai helped Qian Sunai up and said, "Brother Zigao, you are not them, you are my Zhang Juzheng!"

Zhang Juzheng took over the power of the country for ten years. Emperor Wanli had to stand and speak in front of Zhang Juzheng. Zhu Hai was able to say this because he absolutely trusted Qian Sunai.
