Change water transportation to sea transportation!

Water transport refers to the well-known inland transportation system in Chinese history. It mainly refers to a systematic project that transports official food, military rations, and important bulk materials from south to north through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to Beijing, the center of the feudal dynasty rule, including development. Canals, shipbuilding, collection of official rations, military rations, etc.

Water transport sprouted in the Qin and Han dynasties and flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties. Water transport in the Ming Dynasty reached a new stage. The Ming Dynasty attached great importance to water administration management, and established management agencies from the imperial court to prefectures and counties. The "laws and regulations for water transport" were also improved and perfected, resulting in branch transportation, redemption and direct delivery systems.

Through water transportation, the abundant supplies from the south were transported to the north, especially the imperial capital, thereby stabilizing the rule of the north.

Since the Xinming Dynasty, although the capital has moved south, the Ming Dynasty used troops and construction on the northern border and entered the northeast land for development. The materials needed have not decreased but increased, even exceeding the period of Beijing's imperial capital.

However, there are many troubles in water transportation. One is siltation, the Yellow River is flooded frequently, and the mud river is rolling into the Grand Canal. The water transportation ships will be trapped and cannot reach the capital on time. At this time, the price of food will soar and the impact will be very bad; Close". In the process of water transportation, loss is inevitable. The government was unwilling to bear it, so it was allocated to the people. Sometimes, the grain requisition officer directly overcharges 40%-50% beyond the stipulated amount, and the people are dissatisfied with the \'caocao\' incidents constantly; thirdly, "lack of money", the food is opened and the soldiers need to **** the ship. The entire freight paid by the government is only 200 taels per ship. The standard has not changed for many years, and prices have risen rapidly. Soldiers with insufficient travel expenses had to apportion the money to the government along the way and eventually pass the money to the common people. Fourth, those with vested interests, water transportation From the official to the people, everyone relies on water to draft. Although the officials make a lot of money, the small people also have to rely on this water transport to survive. There are a large number of them, and they have formed a firm interest group...

The transportation of water is unfavorable, and the grain in the south will have to go through hardships and dangers, and it will be transported from Suzhou to Hangzhou for a long time. The amount of food and grain sent to Beijing each year is gradually decreasing, and the storage stock is becoming empty. The food supply crisis in the Jingshi area has not been alleviated, but has become more serious.

The emperors of the Ming dynasty were well aware of the troubles of water transportation. During the Yongle period, they tried to change water transportation to sea transportation, and used sea ships to transport materials from the south to the north, with good results.

From the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the Yongle period, shipping has always been an important means of transferring grain from the south to the north, but the resistance is very great!

Interest groups alone involve officials, soldiers, merchants, water gangs, boat people, and so on. There are no less than a million people. If you want to ship by sea, you have to deal with these million people first!

They also have officials blaming their eyes and opposing shipping for four reasons: the storm is rough, pirates are infested, food is prone to mold, and the cost is high.

Most of them are nonsense. For example, the cost of shipping is high. In fact, it is a trivial matter for one seagoing vessel to support two ships. A large seagoing vessel can support hundreds of seagoing vessels and requires very few manpower.

The key is that most of the sea transportation can arrive smoothly, and as long as the waterway is blocked, the waterway can not pass, and the capital will be hungry.

As for the food is easy to mold, this is also easy to say, as long as the packaging is done, it can effectively resist mold, there are also strong winds and waves, there are merchant ships passing through the sea year after year, there are ship destructions, and there are many dangers in the canals. Over the years, ships have sunk in distress, and the boatman’s family has been destroyed. How can it be just that the shipping is in danger and the water transport is fine?

Pirates haunt? !

It used to be a big problem. Now, don’t look at it. The Southeast is a country built by pirates!

The transformation of water transportation to sea transportation is an established policy. Yao Minggong has been in power for several years and has made a lot of forward-looking research and preparations for the abolition of water transportation. The implementation of this reform is a matter of course.

The biggest obstacle to reform is interest groups. For this reason, the first thing to do is to deal with officials. Ma Shiying uses thunder means to transfer all relevant central officials and relevant local officials who are not keen on shipping.

For example, Hubu Langzhong Ge Shizhen, the Tan Ma Lang on the list of scholars in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty, used his literary words to be extremely beautiful, and he was outstanding in the world. He played the matter of military salary, saying that "increasing troops is not as good as training troops, and paying is not as good as clearing." The emperor Chongzhen once listed his famous book on Yuping. After Ge Shizhen asked for a leave of absence, the province personally reported him. After the Jiashen change, Ge entered Nanjing and went out of office. His management and finance had two brushes, but he firmly opposed the reform of water transportation. Shipped by sea and ended up resigning.

There is also a local official, Yuan Shu, who is the governor of Zhejiang. His father is Yuan Keli, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty. He is known for his talents, and he is a firm supporter of Southeastern countries and has great influence.

But he did not agree to go by sea, and was transferred to the central government and was removed.

Many officials passed the customs one by one, and the second assistant Yang Tiansheng went to Hangzhou to preside over the meeting, forcing officials from all walks of life to express their views, and all those who did not follow were transferred.

As soon as the officials who are the political backers go, the people are much easier to handle. Some of the water transport personnel are transferred to sea transportation to assist in warehousing and transportation.

Yang Tiansheng made great efforts to build infrastructure, build roads, bridges, dams, build water conservancy, develop agricultural production, and absorb a large number of water transport people!

He is a veteran in this respect, and he is very familiar with it. He has carried out vigorous infrastructure construction in various places on the front line of water transportation.

In this way, when the people go to work and have a way out, they are not afraid of the people's upheaval.

And immigrants!

Although the Chinese have the custom of "difficult to move their homeland", they must also see clearly that the immigrants in the water transport area will give 100 mu of land to the northeast and a household of four people, and the southeast country will give land to 50 acres of land. With ten silver dollars as a settlement fee, the land can be passed on to descendants!

I have to say that the allure of land is huge!

Propaganda of "open branches and loose leaves" was carried out among the people at the right time, and people emigrated enthusiastically.

The time for shipping was ripe. In the first month of 1653, Yang Tiansheng came to Shanghai. The ministers successively applied for orders. The states and counties stripped the rice for transport. They came in one file and exchanged them one after another, earning more than one million six hundred thousand yuan. More than two hundred boats departed.

He made sacrifices to the God of Wind, Sea God, and Queen of Heaven, gathered the three elders for many years, and sent them silver medals for drinking and eating.

It can be said that thousands of boats are smashing the river, and the flags are surging and the dragons are enthusiastic.

At the end of February, the shipping fleet arrived in Tianjin smoothly.

Since then, sea transportation has officially become a means of transferring grain from the south to the north, and water transportation ceased the following year!
