Chapter 033: Lay out the world
"The world we live in is not everything we know." It seemed that he had thought of something more, and Zhao Zongwu's words were a little touching, "If we unilaterally pursue the size of the territory, thereby ignoring the real development level of the place, this is actually a kind of regression for the Huaxia clan?" ”
As early as in the process of conquering the Liukou, Zhao Zongwu's heart wanted to control as many places as possible and bring more places under his control, so that the local people could really live a comfortable life for a few days.
But the reason hidden in his heart told him that if he wanted to truly achieve the rise of China, then he must be able to endure loneliness, endure his temperament, use a relatively fertile territory, a stable local situation, and patience to consolidate the local foundation for development, and create conditions for the first industrial revolution.
The territory of China is too big, and his existence even catches up with the entire European region, so the development model suitable for Europe is not necessarily suitable for China itself, so Zhao Zongwu can only learn from the development process of later generations, and use the road taken by the elite leaders of later generations to walk again in China itself.
It seems that Zhao Zongwu is plagiarizing homework, but the hardships encountered in the process are probably only known to him.
There is no trace of background, and there is even a stubborn feudal ideology in the middle, which also makes Zhao Zongwu encounter all kinds of troubles when deploying relevant arrangements.
Chen Qiyu said with empathy: "What Grandpa Guo said is right, if it weren't for the wise deployment of Grandpa Guo at this stage, in Daming, in the grassland, in Wadao, in Jiubian, overseas and other places, to implement this series of cumbersome arrangements, I am afraid that we would not have a peaceful conversation here." ”
Before the establishment of the secretary and superintendent, although Chen Qiyu was the director of the General Staff Department, he was also the closest helper to Zhao Zongwu, so in addition to military affairs, Chen Qiyu would also have contact with Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Shi Kefa and other officials of the Government Council, which also made Chen Qiyu also understand local government affairs.
With the passage of time, with the continuous increase in understanding of things, Chen Qiyu's admiration for his grandfather is really increasing day by day.
If there is no grandfather of his own country, then the extraordinary deployment, just the development needs of the Liaodong Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, is enough to drag down the finances of the Ming court thirty years ago, if you want to change the current Ming court finances, I am afraid that the Ming uprising and rebellion will be a place not only in the north.
According to the current stage of the development of the Liaodong Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, there are 15 cities with a population of 200,000 and 5 cities with a population of 400,000.
In order to supply these cities to develop steadily, it will inevitably cause a bloody storm overseas.
In the same way, in order to be able to gather these cities, but also make their location, the climate and environment will inevitably be greatly affected.
The blue sky and white clouds are gone, the crystal clear water source is gone, the dirty air, the haze begins to appear, some modern diseases begin to appear, as the early stage of modern human development, these problems have begun to surface.
Similarly, because of the development of industrialization, new class contradictions began to emerge, but because there was no such precedent before, this also made Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and other officials who governed the local government often move forward under tremendous pressure, especially for the officials of the Liaodong Chengxuan Political Envoy Department, this pressure is even more significant.
"We all came out of Liaodong, so we know best in our hearts what kind of situation Liaodong was like at the beginning, and then to the current situation, how many sharp changes have occurred during this period." Every time he thinks of this, Chen Qiyu's admiration for his grandfather in his heart is particularly aggravated, "Just a Liaodong Chengxuan political envoy, the amount of silver that needs to be consumed every year is measured by tens of millions of levels. I do not deny the hardships of those local officials who are struggling in Liaodong, but if there is no Grandpa Guo, all kinds of deployments made at the top level, I am afraid that we are still staying in the territory of Liaodong, worrying about how to strengthen the army. ”
Chen Qiyu, as a capable person who has been trained for a long time, has few factors that can affect his inner emotions, but since the expansion of the military discussion, he has been very embarrassed in his heart.
As an angry young man who used to be a Ming Dynasty, and then to the current rational group, Chen Qiyu spent more than ten years, and used the reality that made him feel cold, so that he gradually stepped up to follow Zhao Zongwu's path.
Now it is said that Chen Qiyu is an out-and-out Dingguo Party, which is completely tenable.
Chen Qiyu's words full of emotion made everyone present quite recognized, although they didn't know much about some of the secret deployments made by their grandfather, but in terms of the level they came into contact with, it was enough to prove that their grandfather was definitely a generation of heroes.
Fan Tianxiong nodded and said: "I also agree with this, let's not mention anything else, just the implementation of the retirement mechanism in the Nine Border Marshal's Mansion has saved countless families, according to the military household system implemented by the Ming Dynasty, as long as you enter the military register, then your life, and even your children and grandchildren, are completely branded with the brand of military households."
Some military households have not even enjoyed a day of leisure in their lives, and they live the poorest and most bitter life at the age when they should be able to live a long life, and it is also because of such an uneven group that the combat strength of the border army has always been in a state of ups and downs, which has led to the frequent occurrence of restlessness in the frontier. ”
As the director of the Xuanfu Administration, Fan Tianxiong is even more powerful than the General Staff Department, but these powers are more secretive, making the world think that the General Staff Department is the most prominent power center in the Nine Border Marshal Mansion, but in fact, the six offices of the Nine Border Marshal Office belong to the same level in power and status.
Belonging to different positions and receiving different authorities also made Chen Qiyu, Fan Tianxiong, Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, Ding Kui, Zhao Zonglin, Zhao Shujiao, Li Yun, and Sun Zushou all have different feelings, but there is one thing, with the passage of time, they can all reach a consensus in their hearts.
That is, for the ideas transmitted by Zhao Zongwu over the years, they all agree with and support the pump from the bottom of their hearts.
This is also the reason why Zhao Zongwu is willing to calm down and do things.
Zhao Zongwu's eyes were a little determined, and he said in a slightly low tone: "In many cases, my father also wants to sweep away the ghosts and ghosts in this world as soon as possible, so that the people living in the local area can live and work in peace and contentment.
However, the cruelty of reality has made Bengong clearly realize in his heart that if he wants to achieve the step that Bengong wants, such a process still needs to go a long, long way. ”
As a standard farming country, although the Chinese civilization has its own uniqueness, in this ancient place, there are very few classes that really have wisdom and can lead local development.
Under such a premise, there are still a considerable number of groups that are absolute supporters of feudal forces, and these concepts that Zhao Zongwu wants to implement have a world of differences.
Before there was a new type of official under his command who could lead this ancient place, Zhao Zongwu could only use such a clumsy and clever way to use attractive interests as bait, so as to constantly bring influence to this ancient place.
Benefit.
There is nothing more representative in this world.
'There are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. When he first came to Daming, because of the ideological realm, Zhao Zongwu was not very able to understand the true meaning of this sentence, but with the increase of power in his hands and the increasing number of dark things he experienced, this also made him more and more able to realize the true meaning of this sentence in his heart.
If you want to promote the evolution of a thing, you don't rely on moral constraints, you don't rely on etiquette constraints, and your real core is driven by interests.
Just as he wants the Huaxia clan to rise strongly in this era, then first of all, he must cultivate the power of his lineage and cronies, so that the forces of his lineage and cronies can get enough benefits under his leadership, but on the other hand, what he wants is the power of a power center, so he must avoid the kind of chaebol-style dictatorship that appeared in some countries in later generations.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Zhao Zongwu has cultivated many factional cronies, so that they can earn enough benefits under his guidance.
After also having such a premise, Zhao Zongwu also consciously let these descendants and cronies influence the surrounding groups, so that they also joined the process of this rising dividend.
While building these forces, Zhao Zongwu is also constantly improving the leadership force with him as the core, so that everything he deploys has a follow-up, ensuring that everything he does in Daming will not collapse because the foundation is not solid.
Zhao Zongwu has been playing a big game of chess from beginning to end, taking himself as the core to play a big game of chess that swallows the world, maybe this process is difficult, but in the words of the great man of later generations: 'Fighting with the sky is endless, fighting with the earth is endless, and fighting with people is endless!' ’
At this stage, the forces owned by Zhao Zongwu can only be said to have the capital that has begun to rise, but it is unrealistic to say that he wants to rely on everything at this stage to achieve the so-called domination of the world, because there are still many places that need to be checked and filled, and there are still many places that need to be improved.
In addition, the rise also needs to have a strong enough foundation, and if there is no arbitrary factor in the middle, there will be a situation of untimely death.
