Chapter 452: The Great Ming Dynasty, Towards Expansion
Ten years of Jiajing, spring!
This is a beautiful era, an era of prosperity, an era of seeking common ground while reserving differences, and mutual understanding...... That's what the newspaper says anyway, so let's take a good time.
The two little babies of Wang Yue's family are more than half a year old, the cubs of any animal are very cute, and children are no exception, with white and tender faces, bulging outward, pink and crystalline, and the skin of shrimp dumplings. On the ruddy lips, there is a string of crystal saliva bubbles, and the little guy keeps patting his lips to create more bubbles, and his squinting eyes are full of smiles, which is so cute that he doesn't want to.
Wang Yue sat in the carriage with one in one hand, holding two treasures, and his heart was filled with something called happiness.
The wide carriage and the delicate carriage move forward smoothly, fast and not bumpy...... Obviously, this is a golden finger that many of the predecessors of the crossing have pointed.
Four-wheeled carriage!
Wang Yue is not a person who likes to rely on technology and play dimensionality reduction strikes, after all, he is not a capable person who is good at hands-on. Wang Yue hopes to promote development ideologically.
He believed that as long as there was a place for benefit, and without the constraints of conservative forces, everything would fall into place.
It's like this four-wheeled carriage.
At first, it was used on the coal transportation track in Xishan, and Wang Yue also took Zhu Houxi and the old queen mother to sit once, which was regarded as his political achievement during Wanping's tenure.
Sure enough, when Wang Yue made a start, many people followed up and continued to innovate, and three generations of products have appeared before and after the rail carriage.
There are even craftsmen who have moved the four-wheeled carriage from the track to the flat ground.
And Wang Yue is the first batch of trialists.
It was very fast and smooth, and the milk prepared for the two little dolls did not spill.
Basically, I can play 70 points.
Very good!
It's time to promote.
"Master, what do you think of this carriage?"
Yang Bo didn't know when he jumped up, this guy didn't know when he started, Cui Shilin possessed him, and he smiled cheaply all day long, which made Wang Yue want to beat him.
"You're not holding back any good fart, are you! Hurry up, I'm going back to class! ”
Wang Yue is not the same as before, especially after becoming a father, this person seems to have been reborn.
Clean up meticulously every day, attend classes on time, and work diligently.
Lectures, homework corrections, new textbooks, and time to spend with the children.
It's like any honest middle-aged, boring man.
Looking at his current appearance, it is estimated that no one will believe that this is Fu Yuanbo, who was the former emperor with monstrous power and the emperor's first confidant. However, Yang Bo knew that the master at this time was much more terrifying than before.
It is precisely because of the lack of selfishness that his ideas are more powerful, and many major events of the national dynasty, as long as Wang Yue expresses his position, will be unimpeded.
"Master, the disciple doesn't mean anything else, I just thought, if the entire Ming Dynasty can pass through the four-wheeled carriage, how convenient it would be! Whether it's a business exchange or a trip, it will be much easier, and it will definitely be a matter of benefiting the country and the people, don't you say? ”
Wang Yue lowered his head and gently wiped away the excessive saliva from the corners of his daughter's mouth, as for his son, he didn't pay attention to him at all.
"Whatever you want to say, just say it, my time is precious!"
"That...... Master, when Qin Shi Huang was in the time, the book was the same text, and the car was on the same track...... Since then, the regulation of carriages and horses, including the width of the road, has been based, which is really a great credit...... The disciple pondered that if the four-wheeled carriage was to be stable, all roads should be the same. You can't get potholes, and in that case, the carriage can't stand it, don't you say? ”
When Wang Yue heard this, he finally laughed, "So, you just think about it, you want the imperial court to come up with a standard and unify the road standard, right?" ”
"Master Shengming, I really saw through the disciple's mind at once, this is a good thing, your old man won't object, right?"
Wang Yue smiled: "Of course I won't object." ”
Yang Bo nodded, "That's good, the disciple plans to have a good talk with the Ministry of Industry, reach cooperation, and then promote the great cause of road construction together...... Master, just wait for the good news! ”
"Hahaha!"
Wang Yue suddenly smiled, "Yang Bo, I suggest that before you go, you should go and find Xu Jie." ”
"Find him...... What are you looking for him for? ”
"Because some businessmen in the southeast have also drawn up standards for roads and vehicles, they hope to take into account the topography of the south of the Yangtze River and build roads across the country with them as the mainstay!"
"Wishful thinking!"
Yang Bo was furious, "Master, how can you listen to the Southern Barbarians!" ”
"Don't scream!" Wang Yue was anxious, "What should I do if I scare your junior sister?" ”
Yang Bo was helpless, so he could only lower his voice, "Master, can you not listen to Xu Jie's rhetoric, that guy and you are not of the same heart, how can I be like a disciple, I am loyal!" ”
Wang Yue didn't bother to listen, "Don't flatter, this trick won't work." You'd better have a conversation with Xu Jie, and then convene both the north and the south, and then invite representatives from all walks of life, and find some engineering masters, and often go south to the north to businessmen...... The big guys sat together, discussed with each other, came up with a set of plans, sent them to the Ministry of Industry, and then asked the cabinet for approval...... Remember, give me less selfishness, don't plan to monopolize the right to build roads while setting standards, and then make a lot of profits, do you understand? ”
"Understood, understood!"
Yang Bo got out of the way...... What Wang Yue told him gradually turned into a decision-making model.
No matter how big the matter, it is important to bring all stakeholders together first, communicate with the big guys, find out where the problem is, propose solutions, and evaluate the benefits gained and the possible losses.
If the disadvantages are too great, it is natural to give up.
When the benefits are sufficient, compensation for the losses is required.
This method can't be perfect, but it's the best way to choose right now.
Therefore, above the court, there is a new phenomenon, that is, all kinds of meetings, rising in a straight line, as large as the six ministries and nine secretaries, cabinet bachelors, collectively to the imperial front to discuss, and the small ones are within the various yamen, constantly discussing.
This trend has even spread to the school, teaching, management, procurement, assessment...... Wang Yue is also not idle every day, and it is ashamed to say that this Fu Yuanbo, who has commanded tens of thousands of soldiers, actually wants to argue with a group of teachers about the students' dishes, chopsticks, stationery, and a few taels of silver.
Wang Yue is very happy about this, and he is very enthusiastic. After all, in Wang Yue's view, it is much more comfortable to be able to really sit together and talk and solve problems together, even if it is a small problem, than to intrigue all day long.
No, there is another meeting today, but this meeting was held in the cabinet, and Wang Yue was also invited to attend.
One of the things I'm going to talk about today is the things that are attached to the Ryukyus!
The Ryukyu king Shangqing led dozens of people from the whole clan to land in Ningbo three months ago and trekked all the way to the capital. They made a formal request to the Ministry of Rites.
That is, the Ryukyus intended to annex the Ming Dynasty and become part of the upper kingdom.
This is also strange.
It is not appropriate to let the lord of the country go, but he is willing to belong to the Ming Dynasty, when is the charm of the Ming Dynasty so great?
Shang Qing snorted and cried, and explained the matter roughly, and all the princes present also understood.
It turned out that last year, the Ryukyus were hit by a typhoon, and more than 2,000 houses were lost, hundreds of people were missing, and especially the fishing boats of the Ryukyus suffered heavy losses, and about 500 of them were damaged.
It is still in the process of emergency repairs, and if the fishing boat is broken, it will not be able to go to sea, and the harvest will be less, and everyone in the Ryukyus will face a situation of starvation.
This is the sorrow of a small country, in the face of natural disasters, there is no ability to resist, either to turn to the kingdom for help, or to quietly wait for recovery...... Who knows if more storms will come?
"I beg the kingdom to have mercy on the Ryukyus, and promise to attach it!"
The ministers of the Ming Dynasty can all understand it.
Ryukyu is attached, of course, the Ming Dynasty has an extra piece of land, although it is only a projectile, but it is also to expand the territory, but after receiving the Ryukyus, you have to send officials, and you have to take over this mess.
Let's ask if there is another disaster in the Ryukyus, what should Daming do?
You can't just sit idly by, can you?
In fact, not only the Ryukyus, but also the area of Zhejiang, are also constantly affected by storms.
To be honest, it's a bit stressful.
"Let me first make a statement, in the eyes of the cabinet, the Ryukyus are loyal, and the Shang royal family is even more exemplary for vassals. Ryukyu had asked for it before, but now the time is ripe, and I thought I should say yes! ”
Unexpectedly, the first person to express his stance was Huo Tao!
This gentle-toned elder actually supported the annexation of Ryukyu, you heard it right!
Just after Huo Tao finished speaking, Li Shi also spoke.
"Kyushu is incomplete, and the world is a big pity. I, the Ming Dynasty, inherited the courage of the past dynasties and created an unprecedented era of unification...... Accepting the Ryukyu package is also reasonable, and it is a necessary thing to do, as for the additional cost, I think it is worth it! ”
What's going on?
Even you have betrayed!
"Two elders." Fang Xianfu said: "If you accept the Ryukyu annex, will it shake the other feudal states, and what if they have a misunderstanding?" ”
Zhai Luan suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Misunderstanding? Then turn the misunderstanding into reality! Kyushu is unified, and the Ming Dynasty is unified! This is more important than anything else! ”
