Zhu Yujian shouted: "Cheer up, what does it look like!" Your Majesty said at the beginning, we go to sea, it is to create a career, to expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty, and to seek benefits for future generations. ”

Zhu Zhuohong pouted and said, "Uncle Wang, your eyes are also red, and you still say that the two of us are here." ”

Zhu Yujian was angry, and only said after a while: "Let's not talk about it, let's talk about this coal now."

When spring comes, we'll have to prepare to dig coal by hand, right? ”

Zhu Zhuohong said: "Can't the three of us start digging, right?" ”

Zhu Yujian said angrily: "What's wrong with you today?" Did you take the wrong medicine? ”

Zhu Zhuohong sneered and said: "No, Uncle Wang is angry, the little nephew is just joking, just joking, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously." ”

Zhu Cunji also said: "Uncle Wang, don't worry about him, it is estimated that this guy is not happy, and he will take the opportunity to make trouble." ”

Zhu Yujian snorted: "I don't care if you are unhappy or not, but now I am talking about business, put away your hippie smiling face for me." ”

Zhu Zhuohong sneered: "Yes, it's the little nephew who is wrong." ”

Zhu Yujian continued: "The most important thing now is that we still don't have enough manpower. ”

Zhu Cunji said: "We now have more than 100,000 people on Xinming Island, how is it not enough?" ”

Zhu Yujian said: "Of these 100,000 people, more than 80,000 are soldiers, and more than 20,000 are craftsmen.

After all, there is not much left in the winter, and now that it is almost over, it is time to prepare to dispose of those barbarians. ”

Zhu Zhuohong interjected: "Uncle Wang thinks about it, but there is another question, has Uncle Wang thought about it?" ”

Zhu Yujian was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's the problem?" ”

Zhu Zhuohong said: "It's still a matter of people, it's right that these 80,000 soldiers want to pacify the barbarians, but after pacifying, there won't be many people needed to defend this big island, right?"

They are all the people of our Ming Dynasty, and the main thing here is to use the water master, and the demand for the guard is actually not big.

After all, this is not like the Ming Dynasty, there are Mongolia in the north and Jiannu in the east, and there are enemies everywhere. Who else is there on this island besides our Ming people? Can't you clean it up sooner or later? ”

Zhu Yujian looked at Zhu Zhuohong like a second fool, and said with a smile: "What about people's hearts? Have you considered the human heart?

Now we are in the business of the road, and there are barbarians on the island, so the people of the Ming Dynasty must be together, but what about once there are no barbarians?

Even the Ming Dynasty rebelled, let alone on this island?

If people's hearts are insufficient, they are prone to disaster. ”

Zhu Zhuohong slurped his teeth and said, "It's true, these 80,000 soldiers are really easy to move."

But in this case, where are we going to get so many people to open the mine? Otherwise, let's go with Your Majesty? ”

Before Zhu Yujian could speak, Zhu Cunji said: "There are hundreds of thousands of people on this island, it doesn't matter, if there are millions, if you are Your Majesty, can you rest assured?" ”

Zhu Yujian said directly: "Your Majesty said that he was relieved, so he asked His Majesty for it." But there is a need for whom you want. ”

Zhu Cunji said: "Uncle Wang must have something in his heart, why don't you listen to it?" ”

Zhu Yujian said with a smile: "If you want ordinary people to come over, are you willing to use them to death?"

But it's different for those who have committed crimes, even if they use it, they will use it to death, anyway, they don't have to feel distressed, and they don't have to pay for it, so we can save a lot of money. ”

Zhu Zhuohong and Zhu Cunji gave a thumbs up together and said, "Uncle Wang is clever!" ”

However, Zhu Yujian's mastery was of no use to birds, and when he returned to the Ming Dynasty with Zheng Zhilong and a ship full of coal, he was denied by Emperor Chongzhen.

It's not that there are no people who have done this in history, at least the people on the American continent that they think about day and night are not good things.

Basically, they were all exiled prisoners that the British themselves did not want. No matter how much it is embellished, it doesn't actually change the fact that these guys are exiled prisoners.

The later results are also obvious, these individuals have established a beautiful traitorous United States that nourishes the oil of the underworld, and in turn, they have made their father a grandson, and the pit Britain is called Dad.

This also led to the famous War of Independence in the history of the United States of America.

Although it was not until Emperor Chongzhen crossed back, the history of that country was only more than 200 years.

But in line with the principle of being careful and not making a big mistake, Emperor Chongzhen immediately asked Zhu Yujian to get all the death row prisoners of the Ming Dynasty to Xinming Island.

It's okay to transport one ship a year, but it's not okay to get all of them.

The main body of Xinming Island must ensure that it is the people of the Ming Dynasty who are upright and red, and they must still have the good son of Emperor Chongzhen in their hearts.

Otherwise, if Xinmingdao is really independent, whose pot is it?

Anyway, Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to carry this kind of pot, it hurt too much.

But the coal of Xinming Island still has to be returned, and even Xinming Island has become the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty "since ancient times".

The Ming Dynasty is the foundation of all overseas territories, and this can never be shaken, that is, these resources must be transported to the Ming Dynasty.

Just in case.

With the arrival of Zhu Yujian's recital, the first batch came at the same time, with three ships of coal.

How much coal is there?

Taking the deadweight of the Fuchuan as an example, when fully loaded, it is about 800 to 900 tons, so the coal of the three ships is already as much as 2,400 tons.

Although such a small amount is almost a drop in the bucket compared to the coal consumed by Daming every year, it is also an indisputable fact that the output and transportation volume will definitely increase significantly in the future.

Emperor Chongzhen's hope of slowly shutting down Daming's local coal mines was temporarily disappointed, but sooner or later, after waiting for the coal transported from Xinming Island to meet the demand, Daming's own coal mines could be shut down early.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen, who was on fire in his heart, looked forward to when the dead eunuchs in the Ocean Bureau would be able to toss up their shelves to work.

However, no matter how much you look forward to it, there is no use for birds, after all, Rome was not built in a day, and the Forbidden City was not built in a year or two.

Although it is said that it is much easier to build an ocean bureau than to build a city, in fact, it is not something that can be done in a day or two.

Time flies, and winter has passed, and at the end of the year, Xinming Island is about to enter summer.

At the time of the New Year's sacrifice, Emperor Chongzhen reported to God with great excitement about his work for a year and the governance of the people, and also reported to his ancestors on the handling of Jiannu and the grassland.

I didn't forget to mention the existence of Xinming Island.

In short, in the three years of Chongzhen, although it was said that there were traitors who made trouble, so that the earth dragon turned over in Songpanwei, Sichuan, the overall situation was still very good.

And it's not a small good, it's a big good. Especially the large area of Xinming Island, it is all owned by Daming, which shows that he is still very favored by God and is very qualified.

In view of this, Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed and issued another holy decree to exempt the Ming Dynasty from agricultural taxes for four years.

Yes, that's right, it's the agricultural tax, not the farmer's tax.

The penny that should be handed over to Emperor Chongzhen cannot be less, and never giving more money is not never levying.

The tax was given to the state treasury, so Emperor Chongzhen generously exempted the agricultural tax.

There is no exemption from business tax.

The agricultural tax was exempted for one year because Emperor Chongzhen wanted to see if he could support the Ming treasury by relying on commercial taxes.

Anyway, there is still some surplus of the commercial tax collected by Chongzhen in three years, and there are no rats in the treasury now, if there is no major accident, it is enough to support the collection of spring tax.

And even if something unexpected happens, there is still silver in his inner pocket, and the needs of the few years to support the treasury of the Ming Dynasty are enough, not to mention the spring tax that only supports the four years of Chongzhen.

Every time he thought of the silver in his inner pocket, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sigh, Lin Dan Khan and Huang Taiji are really good people.

In fact, there is no need for Emperor Chongzhen to say more, even Huang Taiji himself feels that he is a good person.

Otherwise, how could he have recruited so many talented people after he opened Enke?

Although there are no capable and caring minions like Fan Wencheng among these people, there are always one or two outstanding ones among the short ones.

Fan Wencheng's brother Fan Wenjian is one of them.

Fan Wenjian felt that after Dajin Guo faced the Ming army, it suffered losses on artillery, whether it was Jinzhou or Shanhaiguan, or other places, or even Dongjiang Town, in fact, they all suffered losses from artillery.

So Daikin had to have his own artillery.

At that time, the technology of casting artillery was not difficult, as long as there was a blacksmith and enough copper and iron, it was basically possible.

So the Dajin Kingdom also has its own red-coated cannon.

Huang Taiji stroked the slightly hideous cannon body, and said with a smile: "Okay, with this thing, why are you afraid of the artillery of his Ming barbarians?" Ben Khan is going to teach the Ming barbarians a hard lesson! ”

Fan Wenjian stepped forward and said with a smile: "The Great Khan is wise, but although this cannon has been cast, it has not yet been named, and the slave is brave and wants to ask the Great Khan to name this cannon." ”

Stroking the barrel of the cannon, even more charming than stroking Hai Lanzhu, Huang Taiji even said: "A cannon can be used as a million troops, this thing is called the general cannon, Qin Ci engraved the book on the above and said: Tianyou cheers the general."

In addition, it is engraved with the year and month of casting, the names of the supervising officials, casters, and blacksmiths, and if there is a problem with any of them, they can be directly held responsible. ”

Fan Wenjian bowed down and smiled: "The Great Khan is wise, and the slave congratulates the Great Khan!" ”

Although the words are good, but there is a pig's tail behind the melon seeds of the bright head, which makes the whole person extremely funny.

Huang Taiji was even happier with these sons, and even planned to contact Lin Dan Khan to have fun with Emperor Chongzhen.

At the very least, I can't let the dog emperor live comfortably, and I have to let him know that Ben Khan also has something in his hands.

Especially Wen Maolong of North Korea, don't dare to come to Dajin Kingdom to make trouble for Ben Khan because of the excellent firearms in his hands.

This time, Ben Khan also has artillery in his hand, so I promise you will not come back!

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what Huang Taiji was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart.

You dare to come to Daming the fuck, I don't dare to bury you?

But as later generations said, handsome is only three seconds.

Or don't pretend to be forced, pretend to be struck by lightning.

Emperor Chongzhen, as the son of God, naturally did not have the courage to grow hair on the thunder god all the way and dare to split him, but this did not prevent him from having some fun watching Emperor Chongzhen's unpleasant immortals.

Let him pretend to be forced, let him arrange duties for the immortals, and let him arrange the order randomly.

Therefore, the matter of delaying the drought in the area can no longer be sustained.

Originally, it could barely be maintained, but in the first month of Chongzhen's fourth year, the delay began to produce displaced people there.

Li Jizhen's response was very timely, and he asked for relief for the hungry people when the displaced people had just been created.

If it is said that there is such a concert in other places, Emperor Chongzhen may still think about what to do.

However, the delay of this place, although it is not famous, is too important for the geographical location - the bridgehead for the defense of the Mongols.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was entangled and troubled, didn't have time to think about it, so he simply sent Yu Shi Wu Fu to bring 100,000 gold and 100,000 stone of grain to him on the 23rd day of the first month of the fourth year of Chongzhen.

Wu Fu can be regarded as a capable person, as soon as this guy arrives in Yansui, he will preside over the disaster relief with Shi Kefa, the official of Xi'an.

Of course, letting Shi Kefa preside over the relief is not only because this guy is capable, but also because of this guy's other identity.

The brocade clothes of the capital of the Ming Dynasty are hereditary hundred households.

At the same time, this guy's brain is also spinning fast, and he basically doesn't have dirty words, and sometimes he may scold people for a long time before someone reacts that he has been scolded.

is like Shi Kefa's teacher Zuo Guangdou.

After Zuo Guangdou entered the edict, how did Shi Kefa talk about Zuo Guangdou?

My teacher's lungs and livers are all cast by iron and stone.

Speaking of which, many people may think that this guy is praising people, at least praising Zuo Guangdou's great spirit of loyalty and unyielding and not yielding to the eunuchs.

But in fact, after Emperor Chongzhen accidentally looked through the records of Jinyiwei, he found that this guy was simply scolding.

Basically, it has the same meaning as scolding Zuo Guangdou for being a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs.

But such a guy has already become famous in the world at this time - respect for teachers.

Only Emperor Chongzhen himself knew in his heart that he was counting on a brocade cloth to have a good impression of the people of the Donglin Party, and even took a big risk to say that "my teacher's lungs and livers are all cast by iron and stone", but he didn't have any, and he could figure out that it was not normal to use his heels.

But apart from Emperor Chongzhen and some discerning people, who knows that this guy Shi Kefa is a hundred households in Jinyiwei?
