Influenced by the inertia of thinking, under the rule of the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, it was caused by many factors such as the invasion and rampage of enemy soldiers, bandits, Mongolia and other invasions and frequent disasters, which made local people's lives difficult, and many people believed that the same was true in the south of the Ming Dynasty.

But in fact, Jiangnan has a good overall situation and is prosperous, especially the full-time people living in the city, who can earn enough money to support their families.

This leads to a pathological indulgence in luxury. With the Qinhuai River in Jinling, like a group of people with good backgrounds, they are extremely luxurious.

If Jiangnan is unstable, there will be many academies, will there be prosperous cultural heritage, will there be social schools, and will there be resumption of society?

But behind the prosperity of Jiangnan, there is a trend of oppression and exploitation caused by the group who sells themselves as slaves.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, the slave transformation that swept across Jiangnan was like a counterattack against the privileged groups that were unwilling to be oppressed.

It’s a pity that the imperial court did not collect too much taxes in the prosperous Jiangnan, especially commercial taxes, mining taxes, tea taxes, etc. The Ming Dynasty’s control in Jiangnan has declined to an outrageous level.

"The emperor, Chen Yansheng, the governor of Tianjin, has a secret report!"

Han Zanzhou held a secret memorial and walked quickly into the Donghun Pavilion, bowing to Emperor Chongzhen who was busy at the desk.

Although the corruption case in Jingtong came to an end, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, there were still many busy government affairs. As for the storm caused by the foreign dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen could not care about it.

With a cabinet in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen turned a blind eye to him even if there was any dissatisfaction.

“Show it.”

Emperor Chongzhen put down his imperial pen and looked up and said to Han Zanzhou.

"rustle……"

Han Zanzhou did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly walked forward and handed the secret memorial with both hands.

‘I hope Chen Yansheng and Li Mingzhong can bring some good news.’

Emperor Chongzhen, who picked up the secret report, did not open it directly, but said in his heart.

After all, the abolition of Tianjin's three guards and the establishment of Tianjin Zhili Prefecture will inevitably touch the interests of many local factions.

As officials and military generals who have landed in Tianjin, whether Chen Yansheng and others can open up the situation in Tianjin depends purely on their own abilities.

"Tianjin magistrate Chen Yansheng reported: I was ordered to go to Tianjin to withdraw the guards and establish the prefectures. When I first arrived in Tianjin, I encountered many problems. Although the governor of Tianjin, the general officer of Tianjin, the army officer of Tianjin, the three guards of Tianjin, all of them were abolished according to the order of His Majesty, but during this period..."

A formal work report was presented to Emperor Chongzhen.

Although he had received a secret report from Chen Yansheng before this, it was more about the matter of sending troops to the imperial court for filing.

Emperor Chongzhen understood Chen Yansheng's character. As a talent he discovered, this person is a pragmatic person and likes to do things well first and then report what he has done.

"It's really thrilling. I've read it wrong for you."

When he saw the solution to the Tianjin problem, Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but sigh.

"... Zhao Xingzhong, the former commander of the left guard of Tianjin, was talented and devoted to the country. I dared to recommend it to Your Majesty and became the Tongzhi of Zhili Prefecture in Tianjin, and the former right guard of Tianjin..."

When he decided to abolish the guards in Tianjin and set up a prefecture, Emperor Chongzhen learned about the situation of the three guards in Tianjin. The officials of the military officials, headed by the Zhao Nimei tribes, seemed to be an inconspicuous group, but they were local sects in Tianjin.

Although many of the honorary relatives, officials and gentry groups in the capital have opened shops and shops in Tianjin Acropolis, they cannot stay in Tianjin, and they are mostly slaves who live in Tianjin.

Therefore, whether Tianjin is stable or not is precisely these inconspicuous local factions.

Emperor Chongzhen did not expect that Chen Yansheng was so skillful in using the conspiracy. On the premise of stabilizing the situation in Tianjin, he successfully solved the deadly hard-core factions led by the Ni family, and won over the waiting and viewing factions such as the Zhao family and Mei family. The suppression in Tianjin made the majesty of Tianjin Prefecture manifest.

"It's amazing!"

After reading this secret memorial, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and praised without stinginess: "Chen Yansheng and Li Mingzhong are all pillars of the country's dynasty.

If you hand over Tianjin Zhili Prefecture to the two of them, it will definitely bring a lot of convenience to the state, haha..."

Seeing that his emperor was so happy, Han Zanzhou, who was serving by the side, couldn't help but feel suspicious about what happened in Tianjin and asked the emperor to say such praise.

When Han Zanzhou was suspicious, Emperor Chongzhen had already picked up the imperial pen and wrote straight on the blank text.

"I have learned from my secret report that I am worthy of being a pillar of the country and stabilizing the situation in Tianjin. This is just the beginning. When you become the governor of Tianjin, you should open up a new situation as soon as possible.

First, clarify the situation in Tianjin as soon as possible, assist the Tianjin general to complete the establishment of the organization, and prepare for the subsequent implementation of new tariffs.

Second, re-examine the counties under Tianjin as soon as possible, and eliminate all officials who do not do their own affairs or who are corrupt or abuse their power.

Third, we actively open foreign sea trade ports. In the name of the imperial edict, we will allow Tianjin to open the sea and allow maritime merchants from Western countries to dock.

Fourth, if we find out that the refugees under Tianjin will be buried, we will work with a large expert factory to expand the shipyard under Tianjin, and at the same time open a batch of new workshops to accommodate these refugees.

Fifth, investigate the rivers and rivers in Zhili Prefecture, Tianjin, organize the construction of water conservancy projects in the youth and bravery, and strive to avoid floods in Tianjin.

Sixth, for Tianjin Acropolis, the city reconstruction is to be rebuilt..."

Regarding Tianjin, Emperor Chongzhen had his own ideas. He wanted to develop Tianjin and become a major commercial center in Northern Zhili.

If you want to achieve this, it must be vigorously developed not only in the canal transportation, but also in the sea transportation, land transportation and other aspects.

Since Chen Yansheng is very capable, many plans and deployments can be gradually implemented, which is not only a tax on the state, but also a considerable gain.

A more critical point also made the Northern Zhili rule have an additional channel for actively connecting to the south of the Yangtze River and Western countries through maritime trade.

The productivity of the Ming Dynasty under the small peasant economy was relatively low, while the treasury economy built by Emperor Chongzhen could gradually increase productivity.

Driven by this low and high, as long as the products that the Ming Dynasty did not have can be produced, they can use the help of New Tianjin to make money and then plan more things.

"Han Zanzhou, selected reliable eunuchs to send this secret decree to Chen Qing for 800 miles." Emperor Chongzhen, who had written the secret decree, handed the secret decree to Han Zanzhou with a serious expression: "Remember, be sure to deliver it as fast as possible."
