For the kings of the past, whenever there is such a big victory, it usually evolves into a recognition of the emperor's identity, that is, he is the Son of Heaven, so he can win the battle and strengthen the people's recognition of the monarchy, so as to avoid the people from opposing the emperor, which is essentially a fool.

But in today's era, Ning Yu will naturally not go back to the old path, deliberately fooling the people is just a way of self-weakness with internal cruelty and external cruelty, once faced with a strong external threat, it will be like an egg, directly beaten into slag.

Just like the Great Song Dynasty, the way of internal cruelty and external cruelty was developed to the peak, and the peasant uprisings were quelled internally and won many battles, but externally they suffered the humiliation of Jingkang, and even in order to survive, they did not hesitate to destroy their own pillars and kill Yue Wumu in the Fengbo Pavilion, just to get the opportunity to survive with the gifts of the Jinting court.

Like this kind of lingering imperial dynasty, Ning Yu can only feel the shame from the heart, if one day Ning Chu evolves into this situation, it is better to be destroyed vigorously, even if he dies in the uprising of the internal people, it is better to be humiliated by the outside and humiliate the descendants of Huaxia.

If you want to change this kind of internal cruelty and external cruelty in the future, you need to break the lie of the divine authority of the monarchy, Ning Yu must not let himself become an immortal on the stage, he has to really come down, send the foundation constitution of Dachu, and send the people as an imaginary community.

In this process, Ning Yu needs to lead by example, take the lead in recognizing the achievements of the people in the Northern Expedition, need to recognize their status, and link the rise and fall of Great Chu with the personal fate of the people, so as to achieve the state of 'the country knows the people, and the people know the country'.

Of course, in order to practice this, in the propaganda of the Northern Expedition, the newspapers under the control of the Ningchu Propaganda Department will report the touching deeds of the small people in the Northern Expedition, and imperceptibly highlight the status of the small people.

For example, in the "Qingliu Daily" under the official control of Ning Chu, there is a special issue of the narrative of the Northern Expedition, in which ten ordinary soldiers who can sing and cry are selected at length, starting from each of their families and deeds, and recording their bits and pieces in the most simple words.

There are also long reports on the logistics of the Northern Expedition in the "Da Chu Daily", like a beggar who donated three silver dollars to the Northern Expedition Fund through years of begging, and other ordinary people, who made a detailed description of the behind-the-scenes donations of the Northern Expedition.

In these real and textured stories, there is no exaggeration of the heroic epics of the past, and it also makes the people deeply feel that although they are engaged in all kinds of menial work, they are also powerful, they also know honor and disgrace, and they are not half a point worse than those gentlemen in the Shilin.

At the same time, taking advantage of this opportunity, Ning Yu also plans to develop the civil lord system that has not been carried out, and reward some of the people who contributed money and efforts to the Northern Expedition in the future, and this reward will be combined with the war award, so as to enhance its influence and encourage more people to participate in state affairs.

In a word, Ningyu must not let those who dedicate themselves to the country suffer, honor, land, and even privileges will be prepared accordingly, which can be regarded as a weakened version of the military merit system of ploughing and warfare, but expanding the original ploughing war to the entire industry, such as businessmen donating to the Northern Expedition Fund, and scholars writing articles advocating the Northern Expedition, which can be regarded as contributions.

Of course, Ningyu has only preliminarily drawn up a rough plan, and this set still needs to be improved by the cabinet to ensure that the people have a spontaneous sense of national unity.

After returning to Nanjing, the cabinet and the ministers welcomed the emperor's return, and praised the long live, and for a time the entire Nanjing city was covered with red and hung colors, and everyone greeted the victory happily.

Later, Ning Yu personally went to the Temple of Heaven and Earth in Nanjing to make sacrifices, in order to thank God for blessing the smooth and smooth passage of the Fu Han army and winning the great victory of the Northern Expedition, which can be regarded as drawing an end to the whole process.

After returning to Fengtian Temple, Ning Yu soon convened Ning Zhongjing, the head of the cabinet, and the secretaries of various ministries of the Executive Yuan, to convene the first cabinet meeting after the Northern Expedition.

Ning Yu glanced at the other ministers who were a little haggard, and knew in his heart that after such a year of fighting, everyone was almost nervous, not to mention '996', I am afraid that many people have not really rested, why is this not the case for him as an emperor? Even on the march, I had to deal with a lot of official documents every day.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Northern Expedition is basically over, whether it is the conquest of Liaodong, Mongolia, or Qinghai-Tibet, it is a battle in all aspects, and there is no need for such a large scale, and everyone can relax a little."

When the ministers heard this, most of them showed a smile, thinking that Da Chu could also enter a happy day of 'Wen Tian Wu Xi'!

That's right! The emperor calls the big guy like a donkey every day, although he gives more money, but he doesn't let corruption, this big Chu official is really indescribable.

Only Shoufu Ning Zhongjing showed a wry smile on his face, but he knew his eldest nephew quite well, and he wanted to only take money and not work? I don't want to know what year it is.

"Your Majesty, now that the tax has been collected, and all the licenses have been issued, it will probably be collected before May......"

When Ning Zhongjing said this, he muttered: "It's just that now that the silver money is fully collected, I'm afraid that the circulation of new currency is not enough......

The so-called busy actually refers to the summer tax, before the implementation of a whip law, are directly levied in kind, such as the summer harvest of wheat, the autumn harvest of rice, but there are a variety of drawbacks in kind, so a whip law was changed to a direct collection of silver, which has continued until now.

There is a problem with the collection of physical goods, but there is also a problem with the collection of silver money, especially like the death of the late Ming Dynasty, which has a lot to do with the collection of silver money - you must know that in the northwest and southwest regions of the Ming Dynasty, there has always been a shortage of money, and even the phenomenon of iron money, which has caused the problem of expensive money and cheap goods.

Today's Ningchu also has this problem, although the production of new currency has been accelerated, but the entire Huaxia plate is too big, and the southeastern provinces alone occupy more than half, so the circulation of silver money in other provinces and cities is not convenient enough.

In addition, the trade in the northwest is not developed enough, and the trade deficit for other provinces is relatively large, so silver can only be supplied by itself for a long time, which also leads to the situation that money is expensive and cheap.

Ning Yu had his own considerations about this matter, and then said softly: "In view of this year's busy two taxes, I still know in my heart that on the surface this is a monetary problem, but in fact it is a problem of uneven development, and we have to solve it fundamentally." ”

Everyone looked at each other, but they suddenly felt a little embarrassed, the problem on the surface was already difficult to solve, as for the deep solution to the northwest problem, how difficult is it?

To put it simply, the root cause of the Northwest problem lies in the poverty of the people, but it is not only poverty, but also the lack of money, the gentry grabbing land, and the threat of religion.

Ning Yu was slightly silent, he knew that there were some problems that could not be dealt with even in the future generations, but this was not a reason not to do it, and he said softly at the moment: "Do you know why the water of the Yellow River is yellow? ”

Shoufu Ning Zhongjing said softly: "The cement and sand of the Yellow River will naturally turn yellow, but this is the way of heaven, but it is difficult for people to disobey. He didn't quite understand why Ning Yu suddenly shifted the topic to the Yellow River.

Since ancient times, the flooding of the Yellow River has always been a very serious problem, such as "when Yao, the flood flowed sideways and flooded the world", "Yu sparse the nine rivers, and poured into the sea; Decide Ru, Han, Pai Huai, Si, and note the river, and then China can get and eat. "It's all a reflection of this question.

However, the flood of the Yellow River is difficult to completely solve, even if it is a mythical Dayu to control the water, it is only to reduce the degree of flooding, and according to Ning Yu's knowledge, since there are historical records, the lower reaches of the Yellow River overflow more than 1,500 times, and the diversion is even more than 20 times.

It is precisely because the problem of the Yellow River has always been difficult to solve, so in all dynasties and generations, the governance of the river has become a difficult problem, and even set up a special river governor Yamen, who is responsible for the dredging of the Yellow River, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Yongding River.

The reason why Ningyu raised the issue of the Yellow River is that the two issues are inseparable, whether it is the development of the northwest or the flooding of the Yellow River, it reflects one point, that is, the northwest region is now difficult to carry so many people, and the population of the northwest must be vacated, so as to alleviate the ecological pressure and reduce the economic burden.

"I think that whether it is to govern the river or develop the northwest, we need to understand the essence of the problem, everyone knows that thousands of years ago, Guanzhong belonged to a land of abundant water and grass, and the Qin and Han dynasties were able to suppress the world, but now after so many years, why is the northwest of Guanzhong becoming more and more impoverished?"

This sentence stumped the ministers, but Shang Shumiao of the Ministry of Agriculture was slightly stunned on his face, and he seemed to have found something from Ning Yu's words.
