Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    At the Nanjing Railway Station, Wang Shouren, many senior officials from Nanjing Zhili, and officials from the Six Ministries of Nanjing were all present, waiting patiently for the arrival of Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin.

    It is the first time for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to Nanjing, which is a big event for the entire Southern Zhili.

    Because this time, Emperor Hongzhi, represented by Crown Prince Zhu Houzhao, came to Jiangnan for inspection on behalf of the emperor. After receiving the news, officials at all levels in Jiangnan, Nanjing's six ministers, ministers, etc. were extremely excited and made a lot of preparations in advance.

    In addition to Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin is undoubtedly worthy of their welcome.

    A popular person around the emperor, a cabinet minister, and a man in his thirties, it is almost certain that he will become the chief minister in the future, and even now, most of the cabinet affairs are handled by Liu Jin, Liu Jian  I spent most of the time drinking tea with Li Dongyang.

    Liu Jian is old, already 80 years old, and is thinking about returning to his hometown for retirement. Li Dongyang is in poor health and often asks for leave due to illness. Naturally, this matter basically falls on Liu Jin.

    Liu Jin has always been a practical official who likes innovation. Not long after he became a cabinet minister, he came up with a new memorial system.

    "You are not allowed to write greetings, greetings, or flattering memorials. If you write once to criticize, if you write twice, you will be transferred to the frontier to become an official. If you dare to write a third time, you will be dismissed directly.

    When you write a memorial, you should speak out what is important. Don't make it stinky and long like a lazy woman binding her feet. Don't quote scriptures and show off your literary talent and knowledge. Talk about things when you have something to say, and don't waste the precious time of the cabinet and the emperor.

    After such strict regulations, now everyone is afraid to write memorials. If there is nothing important, try not to write memorials.

    For this reason, Liu Jin naturally received another wave of impeachment and attacks, saying that Liu Jin blocked the way of speech, deceived the saints, and controlled the government.

    But it happened that Emperor Hongzhi had great trust in Liu Jin. All those who impeached Liu Jin were denounced, and everyone knew what to do. Just do what Liu Jin said.

    At the same time, everyone also knows that Mr. Liu Ge is someone who cannot afford to offend and must not offend him. When he comes to Nanjing this time, he naturally has to give him a good reception so as not to have to wear shoes after he returns.

    It is estimated that only Wang Shouren can truly understand Liu Jin.

    ¡°Compared to other officials, he seems to be the most relaxed one.

    He has known Liu Jin for many years and knows Liu Jin very well. Although Liu Jin has many rules in doing things, it is also for the sake of the court and to improve the efficiency of the government. As for Liu Jin himself, he has always been very easy-going and has nothing to do with it.  exquisite.  At this time bx*wx*.co Zhang Si

    What really worries Wang Shouren is the current situation in Nanjing.

    Because of what happened last winter, Nanjing¡¯s economy was hit hard and has been on a cliff for two consecutive years.

    From the tax collected by the Nanjing Taxation Office, we can know that the tax revenue in all parts of South Zhili has increased, especially in Songhu, where the growth has been the most rapid.

    This year alone, Songhu's tax revenue has exceeded 100 million taels of silver, contributing one-tenth of the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue. It has far surpassed Nanjing and become the third largest city in the Ming Dynasty after Tianjin and Beijing.  City.  &#24378&#29306&#32&#98&#120&#119&#120&#46&#99&#111&#32&#35835&#29306

    But here in Nanjing, in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, Nanjing was still the third largest city in the Ming Dynasty. In terms of tax revenue, it could receive more than 70 million taels of silver a year.

    However, in just two years, Nanjing's economy has fallen into a cold winter, and tax revenue has plummeted. This year, Nanjing's total tax revenue has not exceeded 30 million taels of silver.

    You must know that it is almost winter now, and there are only a few months left. This tax is not even one-third of Songhu's. The gap is really too big.

    Although Wang Shouren is the Chief Envoy of Southern Zhili, the situation in Southern Zhili is still very good.

    Southern Zhili has always been a tax-rich area of ??the Ming Dynasty. The land south of the Yangtze River is extremely wealthy.

    With the development of capitalism and colonialism, coupled with the Yangtze River water transportation, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, developed and convenient maritime transportation, and the opening of railways.

    The development speed of South Zhili is also very fast, especially driven by Songhu, the development is extremely rapid.

    ??Nanzhili also handed over a good report card.

    Especially in terms of taxation, after Wang Shouren's successive attacks, the taxation work in the Jiangnan area is much better than before. Taxes are easier to collect, more collected, and more standardized.

    But the matter in Nanjing is stillWhen it came, it was indeed going to be too depressed.

When passing by the factory area, although the factory gates were blocked, Liu Jin could still see that these factories had been deserted for a long time and were overgrown with weeds.

    It was extremely quiet inside the factory, and you couldn't hear any roar at all. There were also tall chimneys with no smoke coming out. You could see swallows building nests on them, and from time to time there were flocks of them.  Birds stayed on it and flew here and there.

    "Perhaps we should go to the Qinhuai River and see if the number of flower boats there has also decreased."

    Liu Jin looked at all this and saw that despite the whitewash by local officials in Nanjing, it was already so depressed, which shows that Nanjing is indeed too declining now
