Chapter 639 Shanghai is Shanghai, Pudong is Pudong

Power is always only responsible for the source of power, and the source of power for Songjiang Governor Shen Shixing and Shanghai County Magistrate Yao Guangqi has never been the local gentry, but It comes from the imperial court, so heavenly beings like Shen Shixing and Yao Guangqi will only be responsible for the imperial decrees when doing things.

During the Yongle period, the system of governing the world headed by Hu Xi, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, began to be established. Of course, some people always say that Hu Xi went everywhere to find Jianwen Jun Zhu Yunwen, a failure who could not compete with Zhu Di for the emperor's throne. Well, why should Zhu Di care about him?

During the Yongle period, 26 people, including Shangshu Jianyi and others, patrolled the world with only one purpose: to patrol the world and appease the army and the people.

During the Hongxi period, the governors mainly focused on tasks, such as patrolling salt, patrolling rivers, patrolling customs, etc. They would stop immediately after the tasks were completed, and temporary dispatches were not permanent.

In the third year of Jingtai, the governor's regulations were finally fully established. From then on, the governor, an inspector who patrolled the world as a minister or deputy censor, became a key player in the political arena of the Ming Dynasty when the court and local governments were competing. An extremely important starting point.

Shen Shixing hung Yuan Shen on a long pole to patrol the streets. On the one hand, it was to fulfill the imperial decree and explore the possibility of collective ownership of the economy. On the other hand, it was to warn Songjiang Mansion, Nanya, Jiangnan and other forces want to be right-wing. This is the result of not paying attention to the contradiction between labor and capital. The craftsmen are quarreling over wages. The court's position is very clear, and everything is based on stability.

Chen Tiande was completely responsible for the process of the parade. Chen Tiande and several government officials carried Yuan Shen around Shanghai three times before he put Yuan Shen down with unsatisfied feelings. Shen Shixing and Yao Guangqi were beside him. He talked as he walked and followed him all the way.

"It's decided, let's continue the parade tomorrow!" Chen Tiande said excitedly. This Chen Tiande, who has no worldly desires, originally had the only ambition in his life to destroy the Japanese, but now he has one more one, and he has to worry about these good people who bully them. The forces of good will swagger through the streets in all directions.

"If you want to parade, you can parade. You can still swim for five or six days before the court takes away the prisoners." Shen Shixing thought about it for a while and agreed with Chen Tiande's idea. The effect of the parade is quite good. Okay, because Shen Shixing saw the reaction of the people with his own eyes. Without eggs, vegetable leaves and the like, most of the people spit and cursed angrily.

In Shen Shixing's eyes, this means that the resentment in the hearts of the people is reducing, which is a good thing.

“Okay!” Chen Tiande led a group of government officials and found a lot of old wood from the warehouse of the Shanghai County Government to make a parade car to facilitate the following parade activities. This car was made of It is extremely sturdy, what if it needs to be used in the future?

"Your Majesty once defined the standard of commodity economy, which is the establishment of large-scale free employment relationships. Now it seems that your Majesty's standards are extremely reasonable. Songjiang Prefecture is now just short of finishing." Shen Shixing came When we arrived at the West Flower Hall, there was a back garden of less than two acres outside the West Flower Hall. Land was at a premium in Shanghai County, so a back garden of two acres was already extremely luxurious.

“At the beginning, His Majesty made it clear that within twenty years after the opening of the sea, Songjiang Prefecture would transform from a closed economy of small farmers and a small workshop economy to a commodity economy. Now it seems that the goal set by His Majesty back then is, It is still too conservative. After the employment contract is notarized and the collective ownership economy is determined, Songjiang Mansion will complete this goal five to six years in advance." Yao Guangqi smiled to himself after saying this.

He knows this standard very well. When His Majesty proposed the commodity economy, he gave very clear standards.

At that time, he was still fighting with Wang Qian in the capital, and he scorned all his majesty’s ideas, such as the theory of contradiction, public and private theory, production diagram, class theory, commodity economy and other theories. At that time, Yao Guangqi was still famous in the capital. Young Master Yao, surrounded by a group of friends, is called the West City Boy.

Now, Yao Guangqi just feels that he was a little naive back then. Of course, if he does it again, I'm afraid he will still choose that way.

Large-scale, free, and employment relations are three conditions. First, it must be large-scale. The production relations of tenants and landlords who are physically dependent must be dissolved. At least more than 80% of the relatively equal employment relations must be achieved. , is large-scale; freedom means not only that meat eaters are free to hire producers, but also that producers can choose meat eaters, and producers are free people;

The employment relationship is a relatively equal production relationship .

Relative equality, not complete equality, because employers have more power, so in order to maintain balance, the court must provide support as a backing for the poor coolies, but this is still unequal, but compared to before, it is progress.

"Your Majesty is a little conservative." Shen Shixing showed a smile. He still remembered that in January of the first year of Wanli, after King Assassin killed the king, His Majesty was hit with a bag on his head. His Majesty at that time was really Walking on thin ice, it was also after that that the Ming Emperor finally realized clearly: anything anyone promises you does not count, only the things you can decide on yourself count.

Your Majesty has really worked hard for so many years.

"Is Your Majesty really as frugal as the rumors say?" Yao Guangqi met the emperor once. He was very curious about this matter. In Shanghai, he saw endless luxury, but His Majesty, as the supreme being in the world, , but maintain the noble moral character of frugality, it is really incredible.

Shen Shixing frowned and said: "This is not a rumor. Even Hai Zongxian advised His Majesty to be a little extravagant. His Majesty's... frugality even Hai Zongxian can't bear to stand. After all, it concerns the country. "

"This spring, the Supervisor of Shangyi asked for orders to weave Gun clothes again, but His Majesty refused. He said that if you take it in a controlled manner and use it in a disciplined way, you will still be able to weave Gun clothes at the age of eighteen. It can be used, but it cannot be woven. "

" Yuan Fu, Ci Fu, and Hai Zongxian jointly reported that the Gongfu weaved when he was eighteen years old was already too small. "

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Instead of wearing purple clothes, he wore Tsing Yi because the dye of Tsing Yi was cheap. In the end, the Empress Dowager Li asked the cabinet why they criticized the emperor so harshly, which made Zhang Juzheng plead guilty. However, the incident ended because the emperor insisted on Tsing Yi.

The reason why we need to weave it again is because His Majesty has grown stronger and his height has increased a bit, so he needs to weave another one.

"This is a military uniform." Yao Guangqi said blankly. This is the dress for the emperor to meet foreign ministers, envoys from foreign countries, and for grand ceremonies. This requires some frugality, which Yao Guangqi never thought of.

Shen Shixing frowned and asked: "I heard something recently that someone in Shanghai County complained that now Shanghai is becoming more and more inland, and all the scribes in the government offices are country bumpkins. Everything must be done in Mandarin.”

Yao Guangqi looked extremely embarrassed and said: "It's true. I, Yao Guangqi, am that country bumpkin. They are scolding me, and they are also scolding the clerks and government servants in the county government, as well as the refugees who moved to Shanghai."< br>
Even Yao Guangqi was called a country bumpkin, a reed stick, and a pig by these locals. Yao Guangqi heard it with his own ears. It was a local scribe, and another local scribe, in While chatting, he made fun of the scar on Yao Guangqi's face.

Yao Guangqi did not make things too difficult for the two scribes, he just asked them to leave the county hall.

Yao Guangqi curled his lips and said: "Your Majesty is wise and has far-reaching thoughts. Seeing that the Japanese invasion is gradually coming to an end and the profits from maritime trade can also supplement the national needs, he established Songjiang City Shipping Department to take charge of all maritime trade matters. The policy of banning the sea was abolished, and the capital and government rates were converted into ship guides. Since then, trade has flourished. Songjiang Prefecture is located on the river and connects nine provinces. For a time, merchants from all over the world gathered, and the sails covered the clouds and the sun. For several years, silver Flowing in, there is countless prosperity."

"It is common for people to be proud of prosperity, but they don't think about the source of the spring."

As Young Master Yao, if he were not wearing this official uniform, how could he be? He wanted to have a good talk with these locals, but even in this official uniform, Yao Guangqi could not do anything and had to pay attention to the impact. If he made a mistake here, Wang Chonggu would be implicated.

"In this way, Songjiang Prefecture will not hire officials or government servants from the local area in the future." After Shen Shixing learned about this situation, he made it clear that this unwritten rule was now written.

This is not because the locals are rude, but because of the game between the court and the local area.

If the local people are rich and powerful, and then control the officials to control power, then Songjiang Mansion will not be the Songjiang Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, but the Songjiang Mansion of the powerful and powerful.

"It should be so." Yao Guangqi agreed to this local decree. To ensure the centripetal force of Songjiang Mansion, it not only requires the efforts of the court, but also the efforts of the local governments.

"The four counties of Huating, Qingpu, Shanghai and Pudong have been approved by the imperial court." Shen Shixing told Yao Guangqi the good news.

The construction of a high-speed highway has a valuable promotion effect on the economy of Songjiang Prefecture.

It is true that there are many waterways in Songjiang Prefecture, but not all goods must be transported by waterways. Governors from all over the Ming Dynasty reported to the court to ask for orders to build Chi Road. After all, with the great construction, everyone can make a fortune together. But it was never approved, and Songjiang Prefecture was the first place to do so.

This is also the first Chidao built under the leadership of a local government.

“Building Chi Road will benefit the country and the people, but this matter is difficult to handle.” Yao Guangqi frowned and said, “The reason why the imperial court can build Chi Road is because there are 100,000 elite soldiers from the capital camp. ."

"Songjiang Mansion has one hundred thousand navy troops!" Shen Shixing stood up and said, "If it's difficult, we must take him down no matter what. "

Of course Shen Shixing is aware of the difficulty of building a Chidao, but he still has to do it and overcome all difficulties. He must achieve good results when he joins the cabinet to avoid being criticized for his nepotism. .

"The first difficulty is to convince Xu Bingzheng, the magistrate of Qingpu County from the Zhejiang Party, who is a member of the Great Sikong Wang Daokun." Although Yao Guangqi did not say anything about himself, Shen Shixing also had to convince him that Yao Guangqi was the Jin party people.

Chidao is the territory of Jin Party and Zhejiang Party. Wang Chonggu is the general office of the official factory, and Wang Daokun leads the Ministry of Industry and is responsible for the construction of Chidao. The interests of this area have long been divided up. Zhang Dang The power of the Party Central Committee is mainly concentrated in the officialdom. There is no doubt that the construction of Chi Road in Songjiang Prefecture this time is the Zhang Party's effort to build Chi Road and official factories.

As the Jin Party and the Zhejiang Party, if we have not received enough benefits, I am afraid we will not give up. From the government and the public to the public opinion, Shen Shixing will be taught how to behave.

Even if Shen Shixing is a man from heaven, a person appointed by the emperor to come to Songjiang Mansion for gilding, he will still face many obstacles.

You must know that any major construction project is a feast of spoils. Even if there is no corruption, the work orders subcontracted will make people hiccup.

"If you don't agree, I will go to your husband." Shen Shixing said very calmly.

After arriving at Songjiang Mansion, Shen Shixing carried Zhang Juzheng out for the first time. People must learn to take advantage of strength and momentum. If they cannot do it themselves, or if the transfer of benefits is too much, they must take a seat. Master.

Yao Guangqi held his forehead, and then spread his hands and said: "Aren't you cheating? If you move out sir, everyone will just hold their noses and admit it."

No, What can be done? Ask Wang Chonggu if he is not willing to go against Zhang Juzheng. Wang Chonggu would rather run away than face Zhang Juzheng. He cannot fight against the status quo. It is not that Wang Chonggu has never struggled.

"So don't let the lion open his mouth." Shen Shixing said with a smile: "The lion opens his mouth, then we really need to ask the Xishan Patriarch to come forward."

The Xishan Patriarch is The nickname given to Zhang Juzheng by His Majesty the Emperor has not been publicly used, but "Journey to the West" was very popular in the Ming Dynasty. When His Majesty the Emperor was a young man, when he couldn't solve a problem, he went to Xishan to ask Zhang Juzheng to come forward, which was widely joked by the people. Go quickly and invite the ancestor of Xishan.

“Shanghai County and Pudong County Section shall be built by Shanghai County Government.” Yao Guangqi put forward his own conditions. The Shanghai Section and Pudong Section shall be owned by Shanghai County Government and the Shanxi Party.

The corner of Shen Shixing's mouth twitched and he said sternly: "It's already noon, Yao Zhixian, are you just daydreaming? At most, the official factories needed to build Chidao can be given to Shanghai County. You are stretching your hand too far, and Pudong County is not under your control!”

Pudong is east of the Huangpu River, so it is called Pudong. Pudong County is a newly established county that Songjiang Prefecture reported to the imperial court. Now it has notified the imperial court of its establishment. It has not yet been officially listed, and the county government has not been built, so it is a Shanghai county government. Escrow, but, escrow is escrow.

Yao Guangqi extended his hand, but Shen Shixing was determined not to accept it.

Shanghai is Shanghai, Pudong is Pudong. "At least the Shanghai section must be built by Shanghai County, or let's not talk about it and go to the teacher. If you can't say it, go to the teacher. Others are afraid that Shen Shixing will laugh at you and think that Shen Shixing is an unweaned baby." Yao Guangqi's expression changed several times. , kept counting with his fingers in his sleeves, and finally gave up on the Pudong section, but the Shanghai section was determined not to let it go.

Yan Shixuan, the magistrate of Shanghai, went to Hangzhou to become the magistrate, and he did not want to fight with the gods in this land of Songjiang Prefecture.

When Yan Shixuan faced Shen Shixing, he was always frightened. He was scolded every day by Shen Shixing's master Dong Wei as if he were a grandson. Yan Shixuan could not even ask whether the Hailong Gang was Shen Shixing's minions.

But Yao Guangqi, who is also a heavenly being, dared to call Shen Shixing an unweaned baby in front of him.

You Shen Shixing is just a disciple of Zhang Juzheng. Yao Guangqi is the son-in-law of Lao Wang's family, and he is also the son-in-law that Lao Wang's family rushes and takes the initiative to accept. In terms of closeness, Yao Guangqi is part of Lao Wang's family party!

“What’s wrong with the unweaned baby?” Shen Shixing flicked his sleeves, nodded and said, “Okay, then the Shanghai section belongs to you, but half of the construction costs for the Shanghai section will have to be borne by the Shanghai County Government. A total of eighty miles, 7,500 silver per mile, a total of 600,000 to 750,000 silver is needed. The Shanghai County Government has to come up with 350,000 silver."

"350,000 silver? Either apply to the governor. I'm going to sell it by the pound, let's see if it can be sold for such a large amount of money. Governor Shen is really brave, asking for 350,000 silver! 350,000 silver is more than half of the late emperor's mausoleum!" Yao Guangqi stood up suddenly and said: "No, absolutely not."

"How much can the Shanghai County Government give? If you don't want to take it, then the Shanghai section will belong to Songjiang Prefecture." Shen Shixing, the old man, said: "If you don't even have money, how can you build a road, a golden bridge, or a silver road?" Is this something a poor guy can touch? "

Yao Guangqi scolded Shen Shixing for not being weaned, and Shen Shixing scolded Yao Guangqi for being a poor guy, which seemed extremely childish when it came to hurting each other.

This is the meaning of talking behind closed doors. There is a huge quarrel inside the door, a consensus is reached, and when we go out, everyone is still a gentle Confucian scholar.

"A maximum of 250,000 silver, no more!" Yao Guangqi calculated the sum and gave an offer.

"Okay." Shen Shixing didn't hesitate and nodded immediately.

"Huh?"

The veins on Yao Guangqi's forehead jumped. He knew that the price he wanted was low, this old fox! I'm afraid Shen Shixing didn't even think about extracting money before he came.

Two hundred and fifty thousand silver is half of the late emperor's imperial mausoleum. Shanghai County does not have a shipping department, but it does have a banknote. It is considered a wealthy place, but this two hundred and fifty thousand silver is also part of the savings.

Shen Shixing said quite calmly: "Then we come to the second difficulty, land acquisition."

"This is indeed difficult." Yao Guangqi frowned and whispered. Said: "Otherwise we will not enter the city. You see, Chi Dao of the capital will not enter the city."

The Chidao of the capital did not enter the city because it was too expensive. The east and west cities and outer cities of Beiya were all the masters of Zhengyan Ziqi who followed Emperor Chengzuwen Jingnan and persuaded these masters to sell their ancestors. Damn it, how could these gentlemen agree? If the emperor demolishes it by force, Wu Xun will probably feel sad, so the court's solution is not to enter the city.

“We still have to enter the city.” Shen Shixing shook his head and said: “Chidao from the capital is also entering the city.”

At first, I tried to save effort, but this lazy method has been proven. It is not advisable. The poor traffic situation in the capital has given Wang Xiyuan, the Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, a headache. He is already studying whether to build a highway in the city to prevent traffic congestion.

“It still has to be taken apart.” Yao Guangqi agreed very much, and then closed his eyes for a long time before saying, “But it’s difficult to take it apart. It’s not a question of money.”

“How about taking this apart? Yuan Shen hangs out for a few more days, and also goes to Qingpu and Huating for a walk? "

Yao Guangqi thought of a good idea. After Yin Zhengmao demolished the door, Ling Yunyi killed people, Wang Jiaping was confused, and Wang Yi'e erected a monument, Songjiang Prefecture also had its own unique method of embarrassment and courage, parading through the streets.

You must find a way to deal with these powerful people in order to push forward the decree.

Destroying a house is always a very difficult thing. This requires the elected officials to stand back to back. If all the officials are in internal strife, nothing will be accomplished.

So Shen Shixing had to convince Yao Guangqi and also Xu Bingzheng, the magistrate of Qingpu.

It is definitely wrong to hang people on long poles and parade them through the streets. Killing people is not enough to make a nod, but killing people and humiliating people through the streets is actually a bit too much.

But Shen Shixing didn't care about this. As for the bad impact it caused, Shen Shixing didn't care at all. In fact, Confucius made the basic principles of political activities very clear: Don't talk about things that happen, don't admonish them for things that have happened, and let things go by the wayside.

What this means is that once the facts have been established, stop talking about them, stop admonishing things that have passed, and stop pursuing past mistakes. The present and the present are the most important. This is also Commonly carnivores are despicable.

Shen Shixing’s top priority is to thoroughly implement the imperial decree. It is already very difficult to implement the imperial decree. As the governor of Songjiang, Shen Shixing has undertaken a great deal of responsibility. A lot of pressure and a heavy burden.

The most important thing for the court to build a Chi Road is to find the source of funds. With the money, the court can use administrative power to push it forward. However, Songjiang Prefecture is a local government, and the local government is building a Chi Road. The issues to consider will be much more complex.

Shen Shixing specially invited a doctor from the Five Classics who was good at mapping from the Imperial Academy of Geosciences, and specially equipped a survey team of fifty people to survey the line, determine the route, determine the number of bridges to be repaired, Determining the stops and bank checkpoints along the way, the progress is very fast.

The action was extremely fast. On the seventh day after the imperial edict arrived in Songjiang Mansion, Doctors from the Five Classics arrived. After a day's rest, they began the survey.

The news that Chi Road was to be built soon spread throughout Songjiang Mansion, and then Shen Shixing was scolded again.

This time, almost all the miscellaneous newspapers in Songjiang Ground criticized Shen Shixing. There were two items of criticism.

One is of course Yuan Shen being paraded through the streets. You Shen Shixing will always retreat. Today Yuan Shen is paraded through the streets, and tomorrow it will be your son and grandson Shen Shixing who suffer this crime. The one who started it will have no consequences!

The second one is the doubt about the construction of Chidao. This question mainly comes from three aspects. All the materials, construction, etc. of Chidao construction are presided over by Songjiang Fuyamen, and Songjiang Fuyamen takes charge of it. The meat, really does not leak out at all, and is eaten alone!

The construction cost is as high as 2.4 million silver. Is this really necessary? Songjiang Prefecture has abundant waterways, which are completely sufficient.

In addition to the expensive construction costs, the biggest question is corruption. At this time, I don’t know how much money went into Governor Shen’s own pocket!

"No, there are just other questions. They are just a few clues. What does it mean to destroy the earth's energy and dragon veins?" Shen Shixing looked at a miscellaneous newspaper in his hand and said in disbelief, Shen Shixing really didn't understand this. According to this miscellaneous report, mountains are the power of dragons, water is the blood of dragons, mountains and rivers are dragons, and building bridges and paving roads means destroying the earth's energy.

Shen Shixing is a traitor! You want to destroy our Ming Dynasty and overthrow the imperial court! To practice Chi Dao is to rebel.

If building the Chi Road is a rebellion, after His Majesty built the Wulongyi Road, he also built the Suiyuan, Jingkai, and Jingmi Chi Roads. How many times has His Majesty rebelled? Your Majesty started your own rebellion?

"When the imperial court was repairing the Chi Road, everyone was holding back and not daring to speak, because they knew that talking nonsense would incur His Majesty's thunderous wrath! It's our turn in Songjiang Mansion to destroy the earth's energy. I, Shen Shi Are you going to destroy the Ming Dynasty?" Shen Shixing said angrily.

Master Huang Zhenlin took the newspaper and read it for a long time, flipped through the memo, and whispered: "Futai, use their Feng Shui master, they will shut up, this newspaper is just a few It's run by a Feng Shui master, and he usually writes some articles about Feng Shui houses. Didn't he just come over to join in the fun after finally getting a big job? After reading Master's memo for a long time, I realized that this was really the case.

The four people behind this newspaper are all Feng Shui masters. Whenever a house breaks ground, these four people must be invited to see it. As long as they go to see it, then everything will be good. There are strange stories about yin and yang, bloody disasters, etc. Some people just want to ask for good luck and let them go and see it, and some really believe it.

Over time, these four Feng Shui masters have gained a large number of fans who believe in their efficacious abilities.

"Dare you blackmail me?" Shen Shixing was furious. He felt that Master Duan Shui was easy to bully, and even the charlatan and charlatan had bullied him.

"Calm down your anger and be calm. Futai rarely interacts with people of all religions and religions. Just ignore them. This kind of people are specialized in doing this. If you just talk to them, they will stop. It will be like a dog-skin plaster that will stick to Futai until death." Master Huang Zhenlin quickly advised Shen Shixing not to be like these people, this is the way for people to survive.

Huang Zhenlin thought about it and said in a low voice: "It's the same as getting slapped with a stick on purpose just to get a name."

This example is very intuitive, and Shen Shixing immediately I understand that the purpose of these people is to get the court to take care of them. As long as they take care of them, their reputation will be beaten. For Feng Shui masters, reputation is money.

Shen Shixing chose... to be patient and too lazy to pay attention to these quacks.

“How is the matter at Hongyuan Dyeing House being handled?” Shen Shixing asked about the progress of collective ownership exploration in Hongyuan Dyeing House.

"It's very bad, there is no more work." Huang Zhenlin said helplessly: "After Yuan Shen was paraded through the streets, Hongyuan Dyeing Workshop had no work at all. In fact, this workshop is not afraid of losing money, but is afraid of losing money. Work. ”

The business of the workshop has peak seasons and off-seasons, especially in the off-season. The main thing is to support people. You work overtime in the peak season and less in the off-season, but you can’t be idle. , as long as the workshop is idle, it is not far from closing down, because most craftsmen have not worked for several days, and their livelihood will be in question.

"Didn't Yuan Shen just take on a big job and start a fight with the craftsmen because he was on schedule and didn't want to be paid? What about this big job?" Shen Shixing frowned and asked him In fact, I already know the answer.

This road of exploration is full of thorns.

As soon as we set out, we encountered huge difficulties.

There is a general tacit understanding among carnivores. It’s not that there is no need for dyeing in the big dye house, but because Yuan Shen was arrested, the Yuan family collapsed, and the big dye house had no work to do. This is the resistance of the meat eaters, and even There is no need for people to join forces, and the emergence of a model of resistance to collective ownership is a tacit understanding shared by all meat eaters.

Of course, the official factory can distribute a batch of cotton cloth and let the big dye house work first, but the relief is temporary, but not the whole life.
