Chapter XVI: The Imperial Council

Under Zhu Wei's dragon bed stood Prime Minister Song Ximo, Minister of Agriculture Jia Chun, Criminal Ministry Shangshu Deng Hu, Minister of Civil Affairs Ma Hanchen, and Xuandao Governor Xu Dashan.

These five ministers are the entire leadership team of the Ming Dynasty.

The first thing to listen to was the report of Jia Chun, Minister of Agriculture, Jia Chun said: "Your Majesty, the development of agriculture this week is very smooth, and now 5,000 acres of land have been cultivated, all of which are already alive, and everyone is very happy." In addition, I visited the households that were allocated livestock and poultry every day, and said that their livestock were all alive and kicking, and they were particularly fond of feed, and they might have fun, and that Genjima was still mainly engaged in fishing according to the instructions of the prime minister, and it was fine now. ”

"5,000 acres of land is enough for the time being, there is no need to increase it, and other insufficient grain is directly imported from overseas, and the land area on the island is small, and it cannot be all turned into arable land and make a fortune by exporting grain. These are only sold to hotels on the island for the consumption of visiting tourists. Zhu Wei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"There is another thing, the economic policy of Xuandao has changed, the coastal and coastal waters must be protected, and the 20 households of Xuandao will stop fishing in the future."

"Huh? They are now accustomed to fishing life, and suddenly they are not allowed to fish."

"I will arrange other things for them, change the fishing boat into a passenger boat, first open the traffic between Xuandao and Yingyou, and go back and forth regularly every day, I will pay them money on a monthly basis, and in the future, the island will engage in tourism, and they will only sell meat skewers and grilled fishing skewers on it, which is enough for them to live."

"Obey"

Zhu Wei looked at this old man, he knew that he had been working hard recently, and a lot of his age was still running around for Zhu Wei, which made Zhu Wei very moved.

"Jia Shangshu, what other relatives do you have in your family?"

"There is also an old wife in the family, who originally had three sons, but was beaten to death by Yangyi, and now there is only one left, also thirty years old, who farms with me at home."

"Well, that's it, if there is a vacancy when I go back, I'll arrange one for him."

"Your Majesty."

"Okay, okay, I know everything, come on, move a stool for Jia Shangshu, you look at this tired place, you sit and rest. Who's next? ”

The next report was Ma Hanchao, Minister of Civil Affairs, who said: "Your Majesty, this week I have counted all the household registration data on the island, a total of 210 households and 779 people. Among them, there are 180 elderly people, 131 children and 468 adults. This is a booklet that I have put together, so please take a look at it. ”

"You don't need to look at it, you just have a mental number, and the population will increase in the future, you must be able to tell how many people there are in Dongdu Prefecture, how many people in Xizhi County, and Dong'an! How many people are in the county, and how many people are in Xuandao County. This is also the work of the magistrate, but now there is only one magistrate, and the affairs of the other two prefectures and two counties have to be handed over to you. ”

"Yes."

Ju Wei nodded. "Deng Hu, you can also talk about it."

Deng Hu said: "This week, three Yangyi devils heard that our Ming Dynasty was founded, and the people had food and drink, so they surrendered from the forest and surrendered, I temporarily locked them up, what to do, I still need to ask the emperor for instructions." ”

"Well, you don't need to ask me for instructions, just ask the prime minister directly next time, in fact, you can call the shots in this matter, the minister of the criminal department, so let's remember, from now on, everyone who comes to surrender, except for those who have murders, will not correct the past, and arrange a good place to live."

"Yes"

"There is one more thing, I have to tell you, it is now a time of peace, there are few cases, in this case, you still have to serve as a forest policeman, and in the future, hunting, animal cruelty, wood, and coal mining will be prohibited in the Ming Kingdom. It is forbidden to pollute water sources, and anyone who violates the law will be severely punished, and Lao Tzu must manage this matter from the root. ”

"Yes"

The next person to report was Xu Dashan, the magistrate of Xuandao, who said: "If you go back to the emperor, it has not been a few days since you landed on Xuandao, and it is all fine." ”

"You are the magistrate of Xuandao, and you will do the work of the villagers. Let them give up fishing and switch to transportation.

After Xuandao stopped all commercial fishing, Zhu Wei was able to successfully carry out his plan to improve the island.

After arranging these things, the last one to report was Prime Minister Song Ximo.

She couldn't hide the curves of her delicate body in court clothes, her lips were lightly raised, and she said to Zhu Wei: "Your Majesty, an American helicopter came today and brought the first batch of aid funds for the country of 100 million US dollars, of which 50 million in cash and another 50 million are stored in this card. After speaking, he raised a golden card in his hand.

Damn, Zhu Wei is instantly energetic, it's really refreshing for people to be in good spirits at happy events.

"A good thing? There's really no safe place where to put the cash."

"Please rest assured, the emperor will not lose a penny of money."

"Yes, I believe in you."

"How to spend this money, please let the emperor decide."

"This money is very tangled, if we take this money into our personal pockets, or do not buy things from the United States, then there will definitely be no follow-up aid, and the United States will have to say that we are corrupt. Well, you still have to go to the United States, didn't they promise to build roads, rent satellites, power plants, sewage treatment plants, underground pipe networks, and other infrastructure for us? How can this not be implemented after all this time? At the same time, it is also necessary to bid for two projects, first to build a five-star hotel on Yingzhou Island and Xuandao, and then to build a high-rise residential area for the islanders to move into. ”

"Yes"

"By the way, I asked you to say at the press conference that you are recruiting immigrants from all over the world, has there been any progress?"

"This matter is not very smooth, our consulates in other countries have not yet been built, and we can't issue visas. However, two people wrote letters to apply for immigration to our country and draft the constitution of the Ming Empire. ”

"Oh, that's a good thing, where do these two people come from?"

"One of them is Chinese-American, the other is Taiwanese, both of them are law professionals."

"Okay, tell them to come to the island as soon as possible, no matter what method is used."

"By the way, the emperor, when it comes to commercial activities, I am also about to report on the matter of money, the island has been used since ancient times copper coins, I have a data, which records that from the 4th year of Emperor Jianwen to Yingzhou Island, including later shipwrecks on the island, a total of 50,000 copper coins were collected, that is, 50 million copper coins, which have been sealed in the treasury and never used, only a small amount of copper coins have been circulated among the people."

"Later, when the Yiren came, paper money was used for transactions on the island, but as time went on, the only thing that worked now was the US dollar. But there are not many dollars on the island, only tens of thousands of dollars. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, do we have to determine which currency to use? ”

Zhu Wei nodded, this question is the most important thing in today's meeting, but he doesn't know much about this matter. Think about it: "In this way, we are also the Ming Dynasty, no own currency is also a joke, if we use the dollar now, we will have to use the dollar in the future, our economy will be difficult to have its own strength, I suggest that all the paper money on the market be recycled, and the copper coin will be used as a temporary currency, and then after the establishment of the bank, the paper money belonging to the Ming Dynasty will be issued." ”

Everyone chatted casually for a few more words, and then announced the end of this Chang Dynasty.

After the meeting, the research center came with good news, the tropical and subtropical marine organisms that have been studied before have been studied, and they can now successfully live in the sea at 34 degrees north latitude and 31 degrees north latitude.

Zhu Wei was overjoyed, and immediately took the improved version of these creatures, and went to Xuandao, Xuandao, more than 100 square kilometers, equivalent to the size of Xiamen Island, the island has only two hills, the forest coverage rate is 100%, and it will be the first tourist attraction in the Ming Kingdom in the future.

As soon as you set foot on the land of Xuandao, you will see that the weather is clear, the white beach and the blue sky are connected, the scenery is picturesque, the island is different from the tropical island, you can't see coffee, cocoa, oil palm, rubber trees, palm trees, coconut trees and other common trees, instead of the same pine trees, poplars, ginkgo biloba, maples, Himalayan cherry trees, camphor trees and other temperate tree species as Yingzhou Island.

There are no humans on the island all year round, wild animals are not afraid of people at all, a squirrel jumps in front of Ju Wei, Ju Wei likes the environment here more and more, he dives into the water of the jasper waves, swims around in the water, the water is full of stones, Ju Wei decides to release the improved Shan Butterfly Worm.

"You're going to synthesize 2 million butterflies, which will consume 200,000 energy points, are you sure?" "Confirmed" that Zhu Wei synthesized 70 species of butterflies brought back from Saipan, and these corals were taken away by successive plants, so when they were released, they were also released in succession, and the skeletons of the coral groups were diverse in style and color. There are red corals like small trees with strong branches; There are mushrooms that resemble mushrooms and lucidum corals rising from the ground; Like the naphtha coral of the human brain; lushly staghorn coral; Like a trumpet-shaped coral embedded in a rock.

Zhu Wei carefully planted corals in this sea area, and the polyps generally live in groups, and Zhu Wei noticed that each individual of these corals is connected to each other in a structure called co-flesh, and the co-flesh part can secrete or calcareous exoskeletons. The tentacles of polyps are small and grow around their mouths.

They have changed their DNA and body functions, quickly adapted to the water temperature, they also have a cleaning function, the original physique that is prone to hypoxia and fear of contamination, has become able to use pollutants as nutrients to absorb and purify the waters, so as soon as they fall on the bottom of the sea, they reproduce rapidly, their reproduction speed has been cultivated and improved, it is already ten times that of normal corals, and it will not be long before they will create a beautiful underwater world at the bottom of Genjima.

Also planted are aquatic plants, which are important recipes for tropical fish and turtles and need to be planted in time for an environment that they can live in in the future.

Zhu Wei was busy, each coral was placed by hand, fortunately, he was now in good physical condition, not tired at all, he looked back, only to see that it was very effective, so he put a few clownfish and butterflyfish into it, the small fish did not enter the coral but curiously swam around Zhu Wei, Zhu Wei did not have time to pay attention to them, and then planted coral, the small fish probably thought that no one paid attention to nothing interesting, so they swam into the coral.

For the next two days, Zhu Wei soaked in Xuan Island, and his mind was all on this underwater world, until he watched the first batch of corals planted survive, and after a full four million corals of all kinds were planted, Zhu Wei found that the energy had bottomed out again.

With only 20,000 energy points left, Zhu Wei could only go to find marine debris again to absorb energy. There is a lot of marine garbage in the Pacific Ocean, but Juwei still has to find something closer to his small island, so that he can eliminate the garbage islands around the island and greatly improve the water quality around the island.

Finally, a garbage belt composed of plastic waste appeared in front of Zhu Wei's eyes, Zhu Wei was unceremonious, all sucked into the palm of his hand, all transformed, a full 400,000 points of energy, Zhu Wei smiled, enough for me to use for a few days.
