Chapter 349: Zhu Yunwen's Determination

Zhu Yunwen originally planned to continue south to Guangzhou with Grianch, but his itinerary was disrupted by a military newspaper.

The military intelligence of the southwest battlefield was delivered, and Ma Dajun lived up to expectations, inflicted heavy damage on the Delhi Sultanate in Allahabad, and then drove the army westward, relying on hundreds of heavy artillery to open the gates of Delhi.

Delhi Sultan Mahmud moved his capital to Mumbai.

However, after this battle, the Ming coalition army was also seriously damaged, and had to withdraw from Delhi and stay in Allahabad.

As for why he chose to stay in Allahabad, Ma Dajun also reported to Zhu Yunwen the importance of the city in the military newspaper.

This tired division, which had participated in the war, waited for new reinforcements to arrive to change the defense, and then withdrew to Yunnan for repair.

At the end of the military newspaper, the next step was instructed.

"This time, Ma Da's army has captured a lot of labor slaves in India."

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while and said: "Just stop the military operation, hold Allahabad, and wait until the country has digested this batch of labor slaves." ”

Daming's current labor force has been exaggerated by Grianch to a rather unbelievable level, and it is easy to hold it up if it is taken captive.

It is not difficult to build a levee on both sides of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River within ten years, and open two tributaries of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the northern section of the Yangtze River.

When these big projects are done, this group of people will be almost damned, just in time to catch the next batch.

You can't learn from Zhu Laosi, and then force out something like the White Lotus Sect and the Red Flower Sect.

"By the way, the edict of the preaching, let Ma Dajun return to Nanjing, and the southwest should be military, and the deputy commander Chen Chunsheng will be the deputy commander, and Zhu Yunxi will be the deputy commander of Jiaozhi."

After the Jinyi guard who received the order left, Zhu Yunwen said: "Send someone to inform Guangzhou, I will not go this time, but I know that Guangzhou's affairs are very good, and I encourage them." ”

After explaining these things, Zhu Yunwen returned to the imperial palace and continued to think about Grianqi's suggestion.

Is it a good thing to encourage, or even loosen the shackles around the neck of capital, advocate free trade, and realize the first stage of the birth of capital?

He is the master of the country, and no one can give him advice on the major decisions and state affairs of this line.

Of the three requirements put forward by Zhu Yunwen to Grianch, the first and second points belong to the second stage of capital strictly speaking.

That is, the process of urbanization has been fully completed and industrial capitalism has been born.

The third point is that it belongs to the first stage of capital, and if we want to promote the leap of social productive forces, we need free trade capitalism.

That is, the Europa one.

Europa has a Renaissance, and the Ming Dynasty has the same idea to lift the ban.

Zhu Yunwen has been promoting the ideological lifting movement for seven or eight years, although the time is not as long as in Europe, but the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is thick.

In a large number of chaotic countries in Europe, only one emperor has the final say from top to bottom, and there is no resistance to top-down implementation at all.

Secondly, Europa's scientific knowledge was originally based on hundreds of mathematical theorems derived from a copy of the Geometric Primitives, and these related knowledge are available at the moment.

Among the Europa people that Zheng He brought back from his trip to Arabia, there were no people who had not read similar books on mathematical knowledge.

The combination of East and West, mutual practice and argumentation, the Ming Dynasty can achieve the leap in science and technology like Europe.

Zhu Yunwen is entangled.

This is a mistake of the traverser.

When the first stage of capital was not born, Zhu Yunwen had already begun to prepare to cage capital in accordance with the ideas of the second stage.

As for the draft anti-monopoly law he set up before, it is the product of the third stage, the complete maturity of capital.

Some don't, Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, can't wait to eat a fat man in one bite and move all the things to Daming at this time.

"Even in Nanjing, the capital of your country, half of the people are still living on the subsistence line."

As soon as he thought of Grianchi's outspoken words, Zhu Yunwen felt that his heart was blocked.

Nanjing is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and what is the level of quality of life of the common people, of course he, the emperor, knows.

It's just that Zhu Yunwen has always felt that this should be the life of the ancient ancients.

I can eat a full meal, put on warm clothes, and store some food every year, and eat a meal of chicken, duck and fish during the New Year.

What's not to be satisfied with?

Isn't this a prosperous age?

Zhu Yunwen, who could cut all the taxes and miscellaneous taxes, was cut, and the grain tax was only one of the thirty taxes.

Zhu Yunwen felt that even if he was not as touted by the government and the opposition, he was an emperor through the ages. But at least a sentence of Mingjun, let it be.

As a result, when I came to Quanzhou, I saw that the people here are really much better than Nanjing.

I don't dare to say that there is meat in a meal, and there is no pressure at all to eat a meal for ten days and half a month.

Every once in a while, you can buy new clothes, even if it's not dense silk, just ordinary coarse cloth.

This is nothing, this is just the peaceful world that he Zhu Yunwen himself thinks is peaceful.

The economic involution of the Ming Dynasty is too serious, and the most intuitive manifestation is that the country is too rich and the people are too poor!

There are hundreds of millions of taxes a year, especially when the silver from Nanyang and Japan was transported into the Ming Dynasty, in order to stabilize the exchange between the private copper currency system and the silver currency, Zhu Yunwen even began to worry about how the imperial court should do it for the people.

What about the common people, how many taels of silver can they earn a year?

"Is it necessarily a bad thing to pay taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and is it necessarily a good thing to pay a small tax?"

Grianch's starting point of looking at the problem is completely different from Zhu Yunwen's.

"At present, the grain tax in the Ming Dynasty is too low, so low that the common people have a lot of surplus grain, and these surplus grains will become moldy and have no food to eat after a long time, so the people will go to sell grain.

Every household sells it, and the price of grain is cheap.

Prices in other lives are rising at an average rate, while food prices are falling.

This will directly lead to the continuous decline in the quality of life of tens of millions of people in this country who depend on farming for their livelihood. ”

Ever since he communicated with such a thing as Grianqi, Zhu Yunwen didn't know how to govern the country.

I feel like I can't do it myself.

The state has money, and the imperial merchants also have money.

The chambers of commerce in the provinces are all rich, and the landlords are all rich.

Only the common people are poor, and their lives are not even worth their lives.

What kind of prosperous age is this!

Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes, and the fragmented memories that had been sealed in his mind for many years began to emerge.

It seems that at that time, every family could at least eat meat at once, and they would not hesitate for a few months if they wanted to buy a new dress.

"Continue to promote business openness!"

Inside the imperial chariot, Zhu Yunwen's eyes suddenly widened.

What gives the capital a cage, a chain.

That's the next generation, the next generation.

What he has to do now is to promote the progress of the Ming Dynasty to a strong country with absolute power and perseverance.

If you don't do it, how can you expect your descendants to do it.

Without the first stage of free trade capital, where can we advance the generation of the second stage of industrial capital?

Born in sorrow and died in peace.

Once the beast of capital is tied up now, the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty and the court will enter a stable period of pleasure.

There will inevitably be contradictions in the future, but if there is a contradiction, what are you afraid of, and if there is a contradiction, the contradiction will be resolved!

Zhu Yunwen decided, his footsteps can't stop for a moment, and the Ming empire can't stop for a moment.

Until, the flag of the sun and the moon fills the world!
