Chapter 217 The Three Generations of Qiantang Yu Family(1/2)

The setting is based on the premise that Huang Silang is an internal supporter of the Japanese pirates.

The war against Japanese pirates will gradually become clearer.

The defense of the north and south coastal areas is divided by the Yangtze River, and the center of gravity can be gradually turned to the south, Zhejiang, Fujian and other places.

Coupled with the memories of his previous life, Zhu Zhanji has basically turned his attention to Fujian and the waters around Dongfan (Taiwan) in the east.

Under the establishment of various premises, the military arrangements against Songjiang Prefecture became very relaxed.

This is also why he proposed that Qi Zi'an take Cheng Yuanliang and Yu Daxing and the others to Qiantang to reconcile with the Navy Central Army.

As for whether the north will also be violated by Japanese pirates?

There are no large islands overseas in the north, which determines that there is no large number of Japanese pirates.

Moreover, the Japanese plagues that have always troubled the Ming Dynasty were probably three out of ten real Japanese, and seven out of ten followers.

Those who come from Japan are commonly known as the Leader Party.

These leaders are basically gentry and merchants on the southeast coast.

The "Jiajing Records" says: "The coast guard of Jiangnan is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Japanese are in the thirteenth place, while the rebellion of China is in the thirteenth place.

And in "Chouhaitu Bian", the thirteen Japanese pirate leaders listed are all traitors of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhejiang and Fujian in the southeast are far away from the court center. Since ancient times, sea transportation and maritime businessmen have developed. These people often take risks for greater interests.

Because of the true and false Japanese disasters, the imperial court began to implement a policy of banning the sea, which led to a significant reduction in interests among maritime merchants, and thus created greater Japanese disasters, which completely broke out throughout the Jiajing Dynasty and lasted for hundreds of years.

Destroying Japanese and expelling traitors is just the first step.

Promoting the development of maritime business and ease the emotions of the people is the long-term solution.

Songjiang Prefecture went to sea as a navy, occupied Ryukyu islands, cut off the ties between Japan and the East, and blocked the real Japanese on the island that should have been silent in ancient times.

Going south is to capture the entire southeast coast and southeastern waters, whether Japanese pirates or Ming traitors, in one go, and to eliminate future troubles.

...

Five days later.

Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture.

It's almost winter now.

Because the end of the year is approaching, a large number of people returning home have gathered in Hangzhou City.

Also, because Hangzhou City is Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Chengxuan Government Office, the third-level government seat of the Political and Envoy Department, it became even more lively when the end of the year came.

Outside Hangzhou City, on the official road from north to south, a group of seven people led their horses and performed stupid behavior of measuring the land with their pace.

Looking at the Hangzhou City that has been away for several years but is now in front of you, Yu Qian sighed a lot.

He never thought that he was just going out for the imperial examination and asking senior Shi Lin for advice, but he was so obsessed with the causal things that were bullshit in Huizhou Prefecture.

Then, as if he was dreaming, he became a little experience among the Taisun’s personal army and the young guard.

During this period, he followed the grandson to pacify the turmoil of Huizhou Prefecture and reform the pilot policy of Huizhou Prefecture. He then went south to Jiaozhi, southern Xinjiang, and went to war with the army to pacify the remnants of the Hu family in the front dynasty of Jiaozhi, and even participated in a military and national event that was related to the entire southern Xinjiang conquest.

Now, he finally returned to the place where he gave birth to him and raised him.

But it was because of a military and national event like destroying the Japanese.

When did military and national affairs become so valuable?

With emotion, Yu Qian sighed and explained: "It's probably because of the things in Dinghai foreground, but this year it seems a little deserted than in previous years. If it were in previous years, the official road would be people who entered and left the city and returned home."

Because of Zhoushan and Songjiang.

People in Hangzhou City are approaching this year, so they don’t care about going out any longer, let alone returning home.

People in Hangzhou, who were outside the city, dared not return to their hometown after hearing the news about their hometown.

Zhu Zhanji looked at the Hangzhou city that had been around for thousands of years not far away and said, "It will be better!"

Yu Qian encouraged himself for a moment and squeezed his smile: "I want you to condescend and live in a humble house for the time being..."

The Yu family is in Qiantang, and is considered a wealthy family. In addition to the ancestral home, there are several other courtyards. This time when I arrived in Hangzhou City, Zhu Zhanji wanted to follow Yu Qian to live in one of the courtyards.

Hearing Yu Qian's words, Zhu Zhanji smiled: "I have long been fascinated by the Tangqi tangerines, the Taozhuang yellow birds, and the Xiaoshan square persimmons."

Yu Qian nodded repeatedly: "The end of the year is approaching, so my family must have prepared New Year's vegetables and vegetables long ago. Then my subordinates will send them here."

Zhu Zhanji praised, looked at Yu Qian, and suddenly asked, "You are now in the young military guard, do you know what you think at home?"

The Yu family has been studying for generations, and Yu Qian's father and grandfather are all serious scholars.

Yu Qian's grandfather was even appointed as the head of the Ministry of Works during the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao. Although his father Yu Yanzhao had not entered the official career, he was also well-read for poetry and books.

It is obvious that the Yu family’s genes are from the core of being a scholar. Not to mention the career of the officialdom, they should also be secretly studying.

Look at Yu Qian now, he left the books of the saints and sages, and ran to the young army guards for a small experience.

This is obviously a rebellious thing for the Yu family.

Yu Qian smiled bitterly. He still didn't know why he had inexplicably joined the young military guards and became an experience in the army.

"My father probably wants to preach a few words, but my grandfather is kind and with grandfather here, nothing will happen..." Yu Qian whispered.

This is the benefit of having an old man at home!

Zhu Zhanji empathized with it and nodded repeatedly: "Let's go! Go home!"

This is what Qian said.

After a year of separation from his hometown, Yu Qian, who returned to his hometown at this time, was a little nervous, but also full of excitement.

Zhu Zhanji actually didn't have much feeling. The waiting for the sea to gallop across the sea is far more desirable than the complicated Yingtian City.

Wang Jinghong probably won’t be able to take his fleet from southern Xinjiang to Qiantang at the end of the year.

During this period, Zhu Zhanji had to wait in Hangzhou City, not only waiting for Wang Jinghong's return, but also waiting for news from the Songjiang Prefecture Naval Camp.

The dock outside the city has been temporarily taken over by Hangzhou Guard.

There is also a large camp next to the pier, rising from the ground.

The one used is naturally the new cement that spread from Yingtian.

Zhoushan is one of the military ports in China in the future. In today's era when the draft is generally not deep, a fully equipped Naval Master Port can be built outside Hangzhou.

Thousands of southern Xinjiang prisoners, even in this season, still dabbled in the Qiantang River to silt the riverbed.

Since then, the first batch of southern Xinjiang prisoners arrived, a steady stream of southern Xinjiang prisoners were escorted from southern Xinjiang to the Ming Dynasty, rushed to various places, and devoted themselves to the infrastructure of the Ming Dynasty.

Standing outside the gate of Hangzhou City, Zhu Zhanji could vaguely see that the dock in the distance was in full swing.

When you enter Hangzhou City, it is also a lively scene.

It stretches for ten miles, with a lot of wells and hundreds of thousands of fireworks.

The evening market in the north city is like a forest, and it has been passed down to this day. The green rouge is shaken by the wind and the moon shadow, and the crimson gauze brings fire to shine on the spring shade. The drinks are accompanied by couplets and traveling in front of the building, and the people returning to the lake are dispersed and drunk. The hut is noisy like the day, and the bell is not moving. It is about to be late at night.

What we are talking about is the prosperity of Hangzhou City and the night market is prosperous.

Zhejiang, as a place with seven parts of mountains and rivers and three parts of fields, is rich in silk today. The people make a living by planting mulberry trees and silkworms, thus promoting the entire Zhejiang to become an important tax and silk source for the Ming Dynasty.

In Hangzhou, not to mention that every household has a spinning machine, but in the alleys, the sound of spindles can be heard.

The textile machine is almost ready to be launched!

Walking in Hangzhou with Yu Qian, Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but think of the sound of spindles coming from the alleys beside him.

However, he did not intend to make a rush to achieve this matter.

At least it will be possible to implement the matter of destroying the Japanese at least after the matter of decisiveness.

The destruction of the Japanese will inevitably be accompanied by the investigation and punishment of a large number of people following the Japanese along the coast.

And these people are often local gentry and merchants.

Only by removing these people can we truly promote the development of local handicrafts towards industrialization.

Yu Qian led the way, circled around and said in a low voice: "Are you thinking about the new textile machine in the Huangzhuang?"

Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, but unexpectedly, his thoughts were guessed by Yu Qian.

Yu Qian smiled: "Seeing that you are interested in the sound of spindles in the city, you can probably guess one or two."

"The dispersion of productivity now determines the lack of product quantity. However, the government supervises and dispatches in Liangzhe, Zhili and other places, and the people below share it again. This is inefficient and has a large number of corruption. If the status quo is not broken, it will be difficult to sustain even if the new machinery is promoted." Zhu Zhanji expressed his arrangements.

Yu Qian said: "So... if my subordinates have a good guess, you are planning to solve the Japanese disease..."

"Yes!" Zhu Zhanji admitted directly, and then shook his head: "After saying yes, it is a bit absolute. Although we in Hangzhou are like in the capital, everything is intricate and complicated. The destruction of the Japanese was to solve the severity of the Japanese along the coast, and also to solve the stubborn rotten flesh that was attached to the Ming Dynasty."

Yu Qian thought for a while and said, "Since the situation in southern Xinjiang is about to open up, if the problem here is solved, the production of silk in Liangzhe and Zhili can be expanded, transported to southern Xinjiang, and then distributed goods to Western countries."

Zhu Zhanji nodded. In his heart, Nanjiang was actually far more important than Jiubian.

With the Southern Xinjiang, the Ming Dynasty could intervene in the Western competition for interests at any time, and it could be more smoothly, starting from the Southern Xinjiang, and transport Ming Dynasty goods to places such as Europe.

In this era, handicraft products stood at the peak of the world.

With the increase in output, the Ming Dynasty could have initiated the first trade dumping in human history, from which it earned a huge amount of wealth and the accumulation of original capital for the Ming Dynasty.
