I am the king of the dead

The families of influential figures lived near Dagongfang, and they were particularly concerned about what government orders His Majesty would issue after he arrived in Nanjing.

A commanding officer stood under the yellow board, watched the crowd gather, and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, Your Majesty has issued an edict."

"The three kings Fuzhu, Wang Ji, Sun Zhong, Sun Jizong and others all beheaded their families, hundreds of people were beheaded, and nearly [-] people were exiled to Yongning Temple."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone under the entire yellow list was very quiet, but they only felt the cold wind gusts behind their necks. Those who could stand here were all those who had not participated in the rebellion after being checked and mended by Jin Yiwei.

With a single thought, he was almost pulled down to Caishikou and beheaded, and his family was exiled to the far corner.

The commander continued to shout loudly: "But His Majesty has forgiven most of the rebels."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd around Huangbang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the reactions of these people, Zhu Qiyu looked quite calm, and the forgiveness of the rebel army did not end with a sentence of forgiveness.

How is life with the rebels?Actually not good.

When the three-way army was encircled, countless rebels surrendered like crazy. They had to endure countless corporal punishments every day, and their food and wages would not be paid. As His Majesty advanced, these people became more and more aware of the matter. It's not right.

How did the city of Nanjing surrender?

Did Wang Ji's conscience find out?

No, it was the generals at the bottom who brought more than 3 soldiers and horses and launched a large-scale remonstrance.

At that time, Wang Ji also planned to keep the green hills without worrying about no firewood, move the capital to the south, move the capital to Guangzhou, and then unite with the guards of Guangdong and Guangxi to resist.

Wang Ji's plan to move the capital was caught by the angry generals before it even started.

Can 25 pigs be caught in three days and three nights?

However, it took less than three days for the 25 troops to surrender, and all of them became prisoners.

Zhu Qiyu forgave them, but only for the death penalty. After all, they only obeyed the general's order, and the panic-stricken army finally broke out, and Wang Ji and others were captured alive and dedicated to the tent.

But these people still need five years of hard labor, farming in official fields, and working as civilian husbands during wartime. After a long period of reformation, they will be released.

"Your Majesty has re-established the Ningbo Shipping Department and brought merchant ships under management," the commanding officer continued.

Everyone under the yellow list was silent, and what should come has come.

The taxes collected by the rebels were heavier than those collected by the emperor. How many merchants would rather go to the Mizhou Ships or Yuegang Ships than to the Ningbo Ships?

The tax of [-] out of [-] and [-]% is really too harsh.

The officer in charge said loudly: "Now that the merchant ship tax is set to be [-]% and the real tax is [-]%, if you give the silver premium [-] points."

"Your Majesty is holy!" It wasn't someone who took the lead in shouting in the crowd, and all the people around the yellow list exclaimed together.

This is simply awesome!

The commanding officer continued: "But Your Majesty will not give you a gift within five years."

Everyone under the yellow board sighed.

This is a punitive tax, which is the same as the punitive tax of Hetao heavy tax. This is Zhu Qiyu's fulfillment of his promise.

The rebels had to pay three taxes.

The first one was for the rebels, and now most of them have fallen into Zhu Qiyu's pockets, and the rebels haven't been mobilized much. Almost all the taxes collected are still piled up in Nanjing's household department yamen, and haven't been distributed yet. , was put down by the emperor.

This part is included in the internal funds.

The second part is rent recovery, and this part of the recovery is realized through Ningbo Shipping Department.

Almost all the distribution of sea goods in Nanzhili and Zhejiang is in Ningbo Shipping Department, which is the price after the defeat.

The third is the currency tax. They rebelled and originally planned to evade taxes, but they paid three of them abruptly.

This is the price of losing.

Zhu Qiyu walked past the Huangbang in Dagongfang, and said with a smile: "Tell me, you are bound to be the fourteenth question of the Haoyou family."

Li Xian looked at the bustling streets of Nanjing, and said with a sigh: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"My first question, Your Majesty said that commodities have dual values. One is to use, and the other is to exchange."

"However, I stayed in Nanjing City for seven months. I took the collapsed houses in Nanjing City as an example. Because of their excellent location, these collapsed houses were bound to be occupied by wealthy families regardless of the consequences."

"They hold the gates of the city and prevent anyone from entering the city. Then they control the prices of all the houses. They crazily raise the exchange value, making the use value worthless."

"This reckless pursuit of exchange value deprives many people of the power to acquire and hold the use value of their homes."

"Your Majesty, there are countless such phenomena."

"For example, they will control the seasonal fruits and vegetables, and occasionally control the entry and exit of the city gate, and the seasonal fruits and vegetables will immediately skyrocket."

"For example, they will control the manure, and even raise the price of manure during the busy farming season."

"The minister is puzzled."

This is Li Xian's first question, he used the example of a collapsed house in a shop.

When Li Xian was an official in the imperial court, he made an inventory of all the collapsed houses in the store, and collected house numbers every quarter.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the lush Nanjing city. The walls of the entire Nanjing have been demolished in sevens and eighties, and the streets are full of shops.

But Zhu Qiyu and his party were obviously dignitaries, and they were surrounded by several teams of big men guarding them, and almost everyone walked around.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "I can give you the answer to your question."

He organized his language a little bit and said: "It's actually very simple, because they are hoarding goods, which is a kind of speculation."

"What is speculation?"

"Any commodity in the market has a use value and an exchange value. There is a simple difference between these two values. For example, a stone of rice only sells for three renminbi in Nanjing, but it is five renminbi in Beiya."

"The difference between use value and exchange value, under this kind of speculation, slowly evolves into an antagonism, and then intensifies into an absolute contradiction. This is speculation."

Before Zhu Qiyu came to Daming, he was a teacher. He often heard people in the office discussing that the middle school textbooks gradually deleted the words "the germination of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty, and the continued development of capitalism in the Qing Dynasty" and replaced it with the modern economic system. gradually established.

This change is actually due to the discovery of historical research that the Ming Dynasty was not without so-called capitalism, and was even extremely mature.

For example, the business of the collapsed houses mentioned by Li Xian, such as Zhao Gou's feces tyranny in Lin'an City, which one does not conform to the characteristics of capitalism?

It's all speculation, it's all malicious hoarding, it's all about changing the use value and exchange value from an orderly difference to an opposition, and finally an absolute contradiction. What is this not speculation?

Zhu Qiyu looked at those shops, and the owners of these shops were controlled by powerful families. He continued: "Actually, when I ascended the throne, I faced a choice."

"This political choice is: After all, I will establish a commercialized system to serve the family of the powerful and powerful, and all government orders will be carried out around the family of the powerful and powerful."

"Or a system that does not rely at all on the mediation of the market, but seeks to: regulate the production of use values ​​by all and supply them in a rational manner."

Zhu Qiyu's speech was very long and complicated.

This kind of sentence is difficult to understand, but Li Xian understands it.

During the few months in Nanjing Yamen, he felt deeply about this.

The translation is whether to indulge the myth of wealth creation and continue to spread, or to exercise the power that an emperor should exercise and lead Ming to become better.

Li Xian said convincingly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

His Majesty's few words solved the great doubt in his heart.

No matter how much time he spent, the problem that he didn't even think about was solved so simply by His Majesty.

Li Xian continued: "Your Majesty has a second question."

3 Chapter Fifty I have explained so clearly and easily, you still don’t understand?

The overall pattern of Nanjing City is rich in the east and rich in the west, and the north is rich and the south is sacrificed.

Donggui is called Donggui because the Daming Palace is at the foot of Zijin Mountain in the east of Nanjing, and Dagongfang is also to the east.

Xifu is extremely rich because Meishikou, Caishikou, Liangshikou, Huitongguan, etc. are all in the west.

The city wall of Nanjing City is extremely irregular, but extremely reasonable. On the pawn pushing chessboard, it is almost impossible to rely on manpower to break through.

There are many north gates in Nanjing City, but the north gate is Jinchuan Gate.

It was also the gate through which Zhu Di entered the city.

Entering the city from Jinchuan Gate, on the north side of Nanjing City, a large area is barracks, including Habayashi Left Guard, Habayashi Right Guard, Fujun Left Guard, Fujun Right Guard, Right General's Mansion, Large and Small School Fields, Barracks, Military Warehouses, Martial Arts, etc. They are all near the Jinchuan River.

Zhu Qiyu also entered the city from Jinchuan Gate, and it was in a bleak state. When he arrived at Gucheng, Nanjing City, which was originally a little quiet, suddenly became bright and prosperous.

The Qinhuai River enters the city from the Tongji Gate in the east, and then exits the city from the Sanshan Gate of Mochou Lake. Surrounding this famous river through the ages, many romantic events have been born.

Zhu Qiyu and Li Xian walked on the Yangshi Bridge on the Qinhuai River, watching the Qinhuai River flow slowly under their feet.

Li Xian looked at Yuminfang across the Yangshi Bridge, and said with a sigh: "Yuminfang itself is not prosperous. It was originally a house for poor people in the city, a place for slaughter and eunuchs."

"That's why it's called Yangshi Bridge."

"It has become more and more prosperous these years, but it has nothing to do with the poor people living there. They were forced to move to Beicheng."

"Last year, they were forced to move to Waiguo."

Zhu Qiyu grabbed the railing, looked at the Yuminfang surrounded by countless pavilions, and asked a little strangely: "How did you do it?"

"First of all, they will arrange for people who are not right to live in." Li Xian looked at the residential houses. On both sides of the Qinhuai River, where there are ordinary people, they are all the places where wealthy businessmen live.

This place is very close to the Qinhuai River, the world is peaceful, and the city of Nanjing is quite prosperous. The war in the north and the war in the south are too far away from here.

Even when King Ji Li was captured, there was still a scene of singing, dancing and peace, drunk and dreaming.

"Someone who is not right?" Zhu Qiyu signaled to his own people to avoid the passing merchants. This person came from the Drum Tower of Beicheng, and the car was full of slaughtered and high-quality mutton.

Indeed, as Li Xian said, there are still shops in Yangshiqiao, but the poor coolies who slaughtered sheep have left Yuminfang.

There is Liu Qi, a poor coolie outside the Chaoyang Gate in Beijing, and there is a poor coolie outside Jinchuan Gate in Nanjing.

The banks of the Qinhuai River are too prosperous, and the smell of slaughter is really incompatible with this place.

Li Xian said angrily: "It's the wandering people, as well as those beggars and bandits! At night, things will be lost in the workshop, and when you go out, there will be less or less at home! Especially children are often lost!"

"If that's the case, it's fine. Ying Tianfu once lived in Xuande for three years and built a cell in Yuminfang in violation of the regulations!"

"After the people have all moved out, the cell will also be removed, and then this is the bustling scene here!"

Zhu Qiyu nodded his head, threatening Haoyou's family, he really went to the right, this kind of thing just happened in Liudu, Nanjing.

Li Xian hammered the railing hard, and said angrily: "The most annoying thing is that some academies have received someone's words! They refuse to enroll children here. How can there be so many of these ordinary middle-class families?" If you choose, you have to move away!"

In Li Xian's eyes, what is an academy?

The academy is a place of enlightenment, a place where the most holy teachers teach, but it has become so stinky, and it has turned this academy into a business by being with the powerful and powerful family!

Wrong person, wrong cell, wrong academy, in short, everything is wrong, Li Xian can't tell what's wrong!

But he was very angry. This was completely different from the sage books he had accepted for so many years, and even ran counter to it.

What kind of bullshit is the people of the country!What kind of nonsense benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and filial piety!In addition to being dirty, where is there a little bit of Wuchang Dalun!

Li Xian was extremely angry.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Those academies were opened by others."

Li Xian's anger became dull, and His Majesty's words relieved some doubts in his heart.

Those academies were set up by the families of the powerful and powerful. These undocumented people actually stay in love with their old places and refuse to leave. The master has an order, but they don't follow? !

Arranging for the common people, for the powerful and powerful family, is it not just a matter of grasping and grasping?

Li Xian looked at Yuminfang and said dully: "During the reign of Hongwu Yongle, Yuminfang houses were originally about 14 taels, with two floors, a total of ten rooms, which can meet the needs of ten people. , I can't ask for it."

"Children here can go to Chongzheng Academy to study. Children here will not be harassed by wandering people. It is only a quarter of an hour away from Huimin Pharmacy. There is everything here, but it has nothing to do with the people."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Xian, who was full of doubts, and said with a smile: "Li Aiqing, this is just a means to transform use value and exchange value from orderly differences to opposites, and finally to absolute contradictions in your first question. "

"It's just a process of excessive pursuit of exchange value. Whether it's the shabby past or the present prosperity, isn't it the process of pursuing exchange value?"

"Is this your second question?"

Zhu Qiyu was a little disappointed, he hoped that Li Xian was a talented person, but it seemed that his performance in Nanjing City was just a flash in the pan under the crisis of life and death.

That's it?

"Excuse me." Another effort pushed a row cart full of mutton across the Yangshi Bridge.

Shi Heng didn't know where he was wandering, he held a bunch of snacks in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I have been searching for a while, and found so many delicious food!"

Xing'an reached out and took the snacks, and shook his head at Shi Heng.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head helplessly at Shi Heng, he doesn't care what he eats, it's under the supervision of the chief of ceremonies, the admiral, the eunuch, and the emperor's close attendant.
