Chapter 118: Don't Regret It
Glancing at his son, Zhu Youzhu was very helpless, and he also knew that his son was dissatisfied with Xie Qian.
In fact, my son has always wanted to move the cabinet. Zhu Youzhu also knows that this cabinet has not been moved for more than ten years, and it is not enough that Zhu Youzhu is a person who values affection and righteousness, he does not want to move these three cabinet scholars, and his character is stable.
Are these three cabinet scholars bad now? Why do you have to move? Glaring at his son, Zhu Youzhu said angrily: "The emperor should be magnificent, how can the emperor do it to his courtiers like this?" ”
Zhu Houzhao felt that his father was about to be fooled and stupid by those civil officials, or that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were basically fooled and stupid by civil officials.
If you are not fooled and stupid, the civil officials will change their routine, that is, spray you, or even smear you, all the emperors who want to do things, they will smear you and you will not work, this is not only the Ming Dynasty, but also the Qing Dynasty.
In Zhou Houzhao's view, the only emperor of the Qing Dynasty who made great achievements was not the Holy Ancestor Kangxi, nor was he a perfect old man Qianlong.
What does Kangxi do? Extinguishing the three feudatories? It's just a traitor to three lost dogs, what kind of merit is to put them down? As for the extermination of the Zheng family, there is still a collusion with the Dutch that has not been made clear.
As for Qianlong, what has he done in this life? Wiped out Gerdan?
It's not that they're not good emperors, it's just that they shouldn't have such a high rating.
It was Yongzheng who really did things, he swept away the decline in the last years of Kangxi and saved countless family funds, which is also the reason why Qianlong was able to wave, but what did Yongzheng look like?
What was cut off after death, what Han people, what was not right, and robbed the throne of the fourteenth prince, it was simply done to the extreme, and there was no lower limit.
This is the same as smearing Emperor Zhengde and Zhang Juzheng for fornicating with Empress Dowager Li, there is simply no lower limit, and these things are all done by those who claim to be gentlemen.
The emperor can't be careful? What is a careful eye? It's nothing more than seeing you do bad things and not holding them accountable, this is what they call generosity.
But shouldn't the emperor be careful? The emperor should be careful, he should be careful with you, he should not care about this, he should not care about that, so what else should he care?
The emperor who rules vertically and doesn't care about anything is what they call a saint. Zhu Houzhao scoffed at this, but he also knew that he couldn't argue with his father about this matter.
In Zhu Houzhao's opinion, my father has been deeply poisoned by them, and there is no way to save it, and there is no need to save it.
Daddy stabilizes the situation and lets himself wave everywhere, that's enough, and Daddy doesn't have to worry about the rest.
"Yes, the sons and daughters will follow the teachings of their father." Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said: "Even so, the ministers there will use the middle strategy!" ”
Zhu Youzhu instantly felt a little painful, he seemed to have fallen into his son's hand, right?
The next policy can't be used, and the upper policy is denied by yourself, so you can only use the middle policy. But this middle strategy is dead money. Thinking of this, the expression on Zhu Youzhang's face was suddenly very exciting, and he couldn't wait to reach out and take Zhu Houzhao twice.
"I don't have money, I want money and I want to figure it out myself." Zhu Youzhu directly said his thoughts, and the expression on his face was firm.
Zhu Houzhao also knew his father's thoughts, but he didn't care, and said directly: "Father, the money in Liaodong is enough." ”
Liaodong's money? What money is Liaodong? Zhu Youzhu didn't know, and he didn't want to know, so as not to be cheated by his son again.
Anyway, you don't care if I want money, my life is very good now, so Zhu Youzhu said directly: "It's so good, you let go and do it!" ”
Looking at his father's appearance of sending off guests, Zhu Houzhao was very helpless, I hope that my father will not regret it when the time comes!
Zhu Houzhao stood up and saluted respectfully: "The second car is leaving." ”
Returning to his Xianyang Palace, Zhu Houzhao began to think about what business to do in the northwest.
First of all, wool weaving, this can be done, and the cashmere over there in Qinghai is also very good. As for the wool, it is naturally Mongolian sheep. After extinguishing the fire, the Mongol tribes in the west were honest and could use it. Of course, if you are not convinced, you will fight first.
In addition to wool textiles, trade in the northwest also started, and things were sold to the northwest, of course, wool textiles alone were not enough.
In fact, the development of the Northwest in later generations is also a big problem, and it would be nice if resources could be sold, such as coal.
You must know that this is actually the richest place is the place with resources, and there is oil in the Middle East in later generations, what will everyone become like a tyrant? Of course, the puppet is not guilty, and their local tyrants have also attracted countries that advocate democracy and freedom, and the air is sweet, and then there is no more, and the local tyrants directly become refugees.
For this situation, Zhu Houzhao is not worried, if anyone dares to make any mess in Daming, his brain will give him.
As for the later generations, the northwest is so rich in resources, why is it still so poor? That is determined by history and national conditions, and Zhu Houzhao is not an expert in this area and has no right to speak.
Just like the Northeast in later generations, it was able to survive well just by selling timber and on large-scale land farms, and there were resources, but it was still poor.
Of course, at this time, the northwest also has an advantage, that is, there is no need to feed so many people, coal can feed many people!
But there is also a problem here, that is, how to use coal in this era? As a heating fuel? The mining price is indeed very low, but it is not enough for the freight money.
Unless there is a steam engine, a steam train, transportation costs are reduced, and coal can be used for steam engines, then the northwest can usher in great development, and the coal industry alone can be very rich.
It's a pity that I didn't open this hanging, and I can't make a steam engine if I want to, and burning glass is already the limit.
But what else is there in the Northwest besides coal?
Rare earths are good things, but unfortunately they can't be used, can they only make steel?
There is no shortage of iron ore in the northwest, there is no shortage of coal, and it is not difficult to coke with coal, but the question is what to do with the steel that has been trained?
Is it all used to build weapons? Building farm tools? There are iron workshops everywhere, how much can they consume? The freight is scared to death.
Zhu Houzhao's mind couldn't help but think of the steam engine again, if this can build a steam engine, can build a train, then it can lay rails, how much steel is needed.
At that time, whether it is the northwest or the northeast, the iron and steel industry will have a vigorous development, increase employment, and solve many problems, sure enough, the development of productivity can solve the problem.
Before the development of productive forces, it was simply unrealistic to want to make essential changes, and Zhu Houzhao was a little frustrated.
"On the one hand, we have to study the steam engine, and on the other hand, we have to dump goods abroad!" Zhu Houzhao can only do both.
"Your Highness, the letter of Lord Yang Yiqing, the governor of Liaodong." Liu Jin walked in from outside and respectfully handed a letter to Zhu Houzhao.
