Emperor Chongzhen hated iron and said: "You are all an adult, why are you still like a child?" Choose? Do you think this kind of problem still needs to be chosen? ”

Looking at Zhu Cihong, who was a little confused, Emperor Chongzhen said, "From what angle do you think about the problem?" You are the crown prince, the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you told me to choose?

I tell you that if it's good for you, you should choose all of them, not one of them! This is the Emperor! ”

Zhu Cihong bowed down to be taught-no wonder his father was able to achieve such a feat, just this shameless momentum, it is estimated that few people can compare!

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "A country and nation like the Wa Kingdom, they are subservient to the strong in their bones, as long as the Ming Dynasty is strong enough, they will kneel honestly, otherwise, they will be the first to jump out and make trouble."

Therefore, when it is useful, it is used to plant a large number of people in the Japanese country, secretly control the Japanese country, and throw all the things about the black pot to the Japanese country.

When the country is useless, I will quickly dispose of it, and I will naturally respond to the mandate of heaven, hang the people and fight crimes, and always stand on the great, bright and correct dry shore.

That's the right way to go, not a single approach, got it?

Also, what's wrong with the recent Ming Dynasty, and what can you see in the recent concerto? ”

Seeing that Zhu Cihong was still a little confused, Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the concerto on the table and said, "You take a look at these pieces, and then talk to me again." ”

Zhu Cihong honestly picked up the music on the table and read it slowly, until he read it all, and then he was stunned and said: "Father is saying that the population growth rate of my Ming Dynasty is accelerating?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Yes, you should be able to know the reason for the accelerated population increase, right?" The consequences? Ever wondered? ”

Zhu Cihong pondered and said: "The reason for the acceleration of population growth, Erchen thinks that it should be due to the stability of the overall environment in the Ming Dynasty, the increase in grain production, and the increase in private wealth.

As for the consequences, it is likely to lead to insufficient land allocation, and in the long run, it is easy to have problems? ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded: "It is a good thing that the population increases, but it is easy to have problems in land distribution.

Fortunately, the new population is not too much, but in another ten or twenty years, the population will increase in multiples, and then where will they find so much land to allocate to them?

Don't tell me about Penglai Continent, there is a lot of land over there, but first you have to think about how much population there is in the Ming Dynasty. If everyone wants land, no amount of land will be enough, and even if the whole world is destroyed, it may not be enough.

So the question is, like this situation, how does the prince think it should be solved? ”

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen mention the word prince, Zhu Cihong understood in his heart that this was also one of the tests for himself, but it was just easier.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Cihong said: "According to the opinion of the ministers, it is better to guide the people out, let some people give up farming, and change from farmers to workers, merchants, soldiers, and soldiers.

When a large number of people changed from peasants to workers, merchants, soldiers, and soldiers, they no longer needed land, and the problem of insufficient land distribution was naturally solved. ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "But, what if these transformed people want to go back to farming?" In other words, what should the rest of the people do if they don't want to farm anymore? ”

Zhu Cihong was suddenly a little confused.

Ordinary people want to go back to farming after they become soldiers, workers, merchants, and soldiers, or the rest of the people don't want to farm anymore.

In the former, the imperial court and local government will once again face the problem of insufficient land for cultivation, and in the latter, the whole world will face the problem of not having enough food to eat.

Seeing that Zhu Cihong was a little confused, Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about himself, but only laughed twice before ordering: "You go back to discuss with those people in your mansion first, and see if there is any good way."

Don't worry, this matter is far from the point of burning your eyebrows, and it will be set aside by you for at least ten or twenty years, so don't worry about it until then. ”

Emperor Chongzhen, who was smiling on his face, had actually sold hemp countless times in his heart.

This question is ostensibly a homework thrown to Zhu Cihong, but in fact, Emperor Chongzhen himself doesn't know what the answer to this question is!

Others may not know, but Emperor Chongzhen sees it better than anyone else.

The current situation in the Ming Dynasty is that the people have begun to become rich, the total wealth has increased, the pressure on the people's lives is small, and there are not enough entertainment projects, and having children has become a popular thing for the people.

Especially since Chongzhen's three years of encouraging childbirth policy, the government has subsidies for childbirth, and children's education is also subsidized, so the people naturally dare to give birth boldly.

In other words, since Chongzhen's three years later, the population has slowly increased, and now there is a stubble of adults who have reached full adulthood, and these people will continue to create the next generation......

In another twenty or thirty years, the population of Daming is likely to rise from the current population of more than 200 million to nearly 300 million to about 400 million.

How many people can the entire planet hold?

Judging from the total population of later generations, five or six billion should be fine, but the premise of accommodating five or six billion people in later generations is that later generations have sufficiently advanced production technology to feed so many people whether it is land or food.

Does Daming have such advanced production technology?

Obviously, no, not even one-tenth of the technology of later generations, it is obviously unrealistic to feed so many people with just one hybrid grain and high-yield crop.

As for family planning or something, Emperor Chongzhen didn't even think about it.

Theoretically speaking, the population limit of the Ming Dynasty should be around one billion - the Ming Dynasty itself plus the territory of Tsarist Russia, plus the territory of Europa, which is probably like this.

The problem here is that if you want to feed such a large number of people, you will inevitably have a large number of people tied to the land, otherwise there will not be enough food to eat.

The fate of not having enough food to eat has been proven by the changes of dynasties over thousands of years......

So these messy problems, Emperor Chongzhen also had a headache.

In contrast, the remaining issues such as corruption seem insignificant.

In fact, whether it is ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, as long as it can be ruthless, coupled with the existence of the Shenming Pavilion and the like, it is not difficult to deal with it.

After a headache for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen simply put this question behind him.

Just like what I said to the crown prince Zhu Cihong just now, there is still time, at least one or two decades, you can take your time and don't be in a hurry.

One or twenty years is not a long time, nor is it short, and it must be enough for the cabinet and the Central Pole Hall to come up with some solutions.

Once again, Emperor Chongzhen set his sights on Ottoman Turkey.

This time, Ottoman Turkey can be regarded as having fallen for eight lifetimes of blood mold - in the east, there is the Mughal Empire, which is eager to divert domestic contradictions, in the west, there is the Holy Roman Empire, a great tomorrow lackey, in the south, the Suez Canal sub-fleet under the Daming South China Sea Fleet is stationed, and in the north is Tsarist Russia, which is about to go crazy.

Four are enough for a table of mahjong!

However, Ottoman Turkey was by no means a good stubble.

The Ottoman Turkish Sultan Mehmed IV Chongzhen, who was almost killed by the Otzeramp faction, was born in the fifteenth year, and Chongzhen succeeded to the throne in the twenty-first year, and was only six years old when he first succeeded to the throne, and the government was presided over by his grandmother and queen mother.

In the eight years since Mehmed IV ascended to the position of sultan, the political system of Ottoman Turkey has been rife with corruption and rebellion, but the whole of Ottoman Turkey has begun to decline.

Of course, there is absolutely no secret contribution of the Ming Empire here, and Jinyiwei is definitely not stirring up the wind and rain - Emperor Chongzhen dares to swear by Huang Taiji's life.

And just last year, in the 28th year of Chongzhen, Mohamed Koprül, who became the prime minister of Ottoman Turkey, executed more than 10,000 people in just one year.

More than 10,000 corrupt officials, lawless soldiers and rebels.

Mehmed IV, who was just fourteen years old, showed the talents of a monarch at this time.

In addition to vigorously supporting Koplulu's ruthless rectification, he also successfully attracted the attention of the military and the people to the Mughal Empire, which had assassinated him before.

On the one hand, Prime Minister Koplulu vigorously cracked down on corruption so that the living conditions of the people in the Ottoman country could be improved, and on the other hand, he directed the attention of the people and the army to the side of the war.

It can be said that the internal contradictions of Ottoman Turkey were basically transferred to the outside by the joint efforts of Mehmed IV and Koplulu.

This kind of commotion once made Emperor Chongzhen think that Muhammad IV was also a traverser.

However, it is a pity that God still favors the Ming Dynasty after all, and only one of the traversers in this plane appeared Emperor Chongzhen, and Muhammad IV was not a traverser.

If there is any evidence, it is the harem of Mohammed IV.

Mehmed IV was the sultan of Ottoman Turkey, and if it is converted into the system of the Ming Dynasty, it is probably equivalent to the existence of Emperor Chongzhen.

The sultan of Ottoman Turkey has a harem, and there are more than one or two beauties in the harem, there are always a hundred and ten, plus those palace maids, thousands of people are almost a simple thing.

Muhammad IV was no exception, although he was only fourteen years old now, he already understood what he should understand, and he smiled at the beauties offered by the ministers and nobles.

However, just like the harem of the Emperor of the Central Plains, those beauties in the harem need to be served, because it is impossible for these beauties to cultivate the land and weave cloth themselves, right?

Otherwise, who would be in the mood to serve the Sultan? If the Sultan has to face the beauties of the harem as soon as he returns to the harem, wondering how to farm and how to get clothes, then how to provide the Sultan with a pleasant harem environment?

Therefore, these beauties in the harem must be served by someone, so that they can serve the Sultan wholeheartedly, so that the Sultan can focus more on the government.

The key lies in the people who served the beauties in the harem of Muhammad IV.

In the harem of the Emperor of the Central Plains, those beauties were eunuchs, which also led to the uniqueness of the castration technology in the Central Plains, and many feudal states could not learn it well if they wanted to.

And the Ottoman Turks, who also thought of castration technology, obviously did not have any talent in this craft, and there were repeated cases of castration not being clean.

There are many beautiful women, and there is only one Sultan who is responsible for sowing seeds, and the rain and dew can't be evenly stained and the people who serve them are not castrated, so it is not difficult to guess what will happen in the harem.

Just like the emperors of the Central Plains used to eat alone, the sultans of Ottoman Turkey also liked to eat more and occupy more, and they also liked to eat alone.

In order to prevent themselves from being greened, the sultans of Ottoman Turkey came up with a trick that no one could have imagined - the people in the harem who served those beauties were all black!

Because the sultans found that once the beauty of the harem and the black man heheheheand and pregnant, then the chances of giving birth to a black child will be very high.

If it is a Turkish who is not castrated, there is basically no way to judge, but if it is replaced by a black person, it is completely different, after all, as long as you look at the child born, you can basically know whether you are green or not.

Such a miraculous manipulation appeared in the harem of Ottoman Türs, and Mehmed IV inherited this manipulation in its entirety, without altering it in the slightest.

This is a real hammer, even if there is no other evidence to support it, Emperor Chongzhen dares to pack a ticket and say that this guy can't be a traverser.

Because those old drivers who have changed the future generations have crossed over, I am afraid that they are not even at ease with the use of eunuchs, after all, there is a precedent for mites to clear the old lady of the loser.

Emperor Chongzhen simply reduced the number of harems, only pursuing quality and not quantity, although there are more than a dozen, but compared with Muhammad IV, who has hundreds of beauties at every turn, the number of Chongzhen Emperor's harem is obviously insufficient.

And Muhammad IV used blacks as servants of the harem with peace of mind, without even the slightest intention of altering, and he didn't even care whether those blacks were castrated or not.

But this aspect of the problem does not hide the political precociousness and military vision of the young man Mohammed IV.

In fact, if there is a Jiayi on the side of Ozerangbu, they will secretly make a move, and the Ming Empire is also deliberately powerless, but I am afraid that the Mughals will really not be able to beat Muhammad IV.

After all, the Mughals were a little ruthless by the Ming Dynasty before, and their strength has dropped too much compared to the Shah Jahan period.

And Ozerangbu, who was touted by the Mughals, was obviously not a really awesome character, and several wrong decisions almost killed the Mughals.
