His Majesty the Emperor's dragon boat sailed away from the Zhangjiawan Wharf and began his first tour along the canal, and the paddle steamer steam spitting black smoke slowly moved forward in a patch of green, followed by the army on horseback on the shore......

The ship is not fast.

The inland river flat-bottomed boat, the backward paddle wheel power, can not be fast, even in the canal southward downstream, it can only run at a speed of about 20 miles per hour.

It's not even as good as those escorted oared centipede boats.

But after all, it opens up a new future, a mechanical future, and as long as it doesn't break, as long as there is enough coal, it can keep running, and in fact today it can go to the new city.

In the past year, the land reform in all parts of Shuntianfu has been completed, although because of the large amount of work, the total amount of land reform in the north is less than one-third, but at least the area around the capital has been completed all the way to the east of Hebei.

All the land, regardless of the Imperial Village, the official land, the Weisho land, and the private land, were cleared and distributed according to the agricultural population counted at the same time.

As for the non-agricultural population, it is still not included in the subdivision.

However, they are willing to reclaim the land as they like, and the reclaimed land is included in the management of the militia Zhuangzi nearby, but they can get free public food for a lifetime.

Really for a lifetime.

It begins to be handed over after the inheritance of their children and grandchildren.

Tian Fu, Ding Yin, forced labor into silver, all kinds of parasitic taxes on the land have also been abolished, the north and Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the same is to pay public grain, formally set up a township-level government agency, the village under the jurisdiction of the public grain by the village head organized to hand over to the grain station, the village head is still the village itself to choose. After it is handed over to the grain station, it has nothing to do with the peasants, and the grain station is responsible for the rest, regardless of the transportation cost or loss of the grain station, it is the grain station's own business, and the grain station system is level by level, and finally until the grain bureau managed by 9,000 years old.

Inner official yamen.

The 9,000-year-old concurrently served as the admiral and eunuch of the Food Bureau.

The Ministry of Households is no longer responsible for this, but the Ministry of Household Affairs and industrial and commercial taxation is vested in the Ministry of Households.

The currency power is in the hands of the king of Zhennan, and his People's Bank also acts as an agent for the coinage and banknote issuance rights in the entire Ming Dynasty.

However, local officials still returned to the civil service system, and officials continued to be appointed by the Ministry of Officials, but the original appointment to the county was expanded to the township, but the imperial examination system was reformed, and it was no longer just a bagu literary examination, but a five-subject examination of literature, industry, agriculture, commerce, and medicine. This year, all localities began to elect people according to the new imperial examination, and Xiucai still has fame, but no longer take the Baguwen and the like, as long as you can write 3,000 words, then you can get Xiucai fame, anyway, there is no treatment, it is just a qualification for an examiner.

There are as many talents as dogs, and the era of walking all over the ground has come.

In fact, the king of Zhennan only needed 2,000 words, and the cabinet only increased to 3,000 after arguing with reason.

The military department still exists, but it has been changed to a militia system that manages the whole country, and the personnel appointments, establishments, and equipment of the army are still under the military department, but the command of the army is under the metropolitan governor's office, and the original five military governors are back to the metropolitan governor's office.

That's how it is.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his eldest brother Xu's power as the governor was too terrifying, so in order to divide power, it was changed to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and his brother naturally wanted to return to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in the apocalypse.

Originally, the division of labor between the Metropolitan Governor's Office and the Military Department was similar.

This system is very scientific.

The Criminal Department and Dali Temple, the functions and powers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were re-clarified, the functions and powers of the three law divisions moved closer to the modern era, and the judicial power was returned to Dali Temple.

The Ministry of Rites is still in charge of the imperial examination, but there are more departments, after all, there are now five subjects.

The importance of the Ministry of Industry has increased, because the infrastructure construction will be returned to the Ministry of Industry next.

This is important......

Newcastle.

"Your Majesty, for those hungry people who can't simply give relief, we must plan for the long term, after all, this natural disaster will last for a long time, so the most critical point is water conservancy construction."

Yang Xin said.

Then he opened the door of the warehouse next to him, and the inside was like the city wall of Shanhaiguan, and the city wall of countless cans stacked up was displayed in front of him and the apocalypse.

"In lieu of work, the imperial court provides grain and canned food, summons the hungry people, and even part of the garrison, and repairs water conservancy in various parts of Shaanxi, where there is no shortage of raw materials for making cement, we will build cement factories nearby in Shaanxi to hire hungry people to burn cement, and also transfer those skilled craftsmen to set up iron factories in Shaanxi, and finally use reinforced cement to build dams.

Several major rivers in Guanzhong can be repaired.

As long as these rivers are dammed and canals are built to divert water, Guanzhong can add at least two million acres of water to irrigate land. ”

He said.

"But if it is really as the king said, two million acres is useless, Guanzhong originally had Guanghui and other canals, which can irrigate nearly 10,000 hectares, and adding another 20,000 hectares is still a drop in the bucket. The minister went out for this trip, only to know how vast the land outside is, rich, the land in Nanyang is three crops a year, although the natives are not able to cultivate, but the harvest of a year is still better than that of Jiangnan.

Since the Ming Dynasty went south, the South Seas can be called fertile fields.

And most of them are sparsely populated, even if some people are just some uncivilized savages, with the current Ming Dynasty hundred battles of the heroic division, a brigade of troops is enough to destroy one of its countries, if the army of the south, the South Seas are invincible, before the reckless dragon rebellion court has not been able to seek peace, just because of the long distance in Burma. But that is from Yunnan march, the minister in the middle of this trip through Shalian, this place is both Mang's back, only 400 miles away from Donghu, and all the way without mountains and rivers to block, there is a river to flow to Donghu.

Although the Shalian area is subject to the Mang clan, it is different from its race, and it is the remnant of the former Dagula Xuanwei Division, and he is still loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Myanmar can be wiped out in one fell swoop.

The land of Donghu alone is enough to accommodate the entire population of northern Shaanxi. ”

Li Zhizao, who was beside the apocalypse, said.

This old man, who spent nearly three years and sailed tens of thousands of miles, not only was not destroyed by the wind and waves at sea, but looked more energetic.

More aggressive.

In fact, there were people behind him, and after Yang Xin made his land policy public, the southern gentry had quickly changed from opponents of expansion to staunch expansionists, and the current Ming Dynasty was still called an enemy, that is, Jiannu and Burma. Jiannu had already gone to the Wa Kingdom, and there was no need to crusade at all, and even Hwangtaeji even abandoned Seoul and only retained a small area of control around Busan, at this time the Joseon king had returned to Seoul, but the entire Seoul had almost become a ghost domain.

It is said that there are still 400 households left after the final count.

In fact, the number of households in North Korea as a whole is currently less than 40,000.

Under the organization of King Zhennan, a large number of militia members have begun to move to North Korea, and it is expected that 10,000 households will be relocated this year, and King Zhennam's slogan is to restore 200,000 households in North Korea within ten years.

Of course, the militia is not under the control of the Joseon king.

Then there is still a reason for the crusade, that is, Burma, including Yunnan's Qianguo Gong also supports, but Mu Qiyuan is dead, he was angered by the policy of the king of Zhennan, and he wants to lead Yunnan's loyal ministers and righteous men to rebel, his mother is also a ruthless person, and he doesn't want a bunch of his children and grandchildren to be killed by this brain, so he gritted his teeth and poured him a cup of poisonous wine, and now Qianguo Gong is already his son Mu Tianbo, but he is only ten years old this year, and the Mu family is actually an old lady who has the final say.

Of course, his family supports the attack on Burma, and when the time comes, they can pick a good piece of land and then ask Yang Xin to be their own fief.

Apocalypse looked at Yang Xin.

"Your Majesty, although Nanyang is good, there are many plagues in this area, and the people of Shaanxi may not have to fight when they go, and they will die of nearly half of them first."

Yang Xin said.

"Lao Yu is not saying that the Shaanxi people will be moved to the South Seas, our crusade against Myanmar will naturally use the troops of Yunnan and Guangzhou, but we can use this battle to make the domestic military and civilians know that the South Seas are rich, and they must leave people to garrison after the battle, which can be transferred from Liangguang, Fujian, Yunnan and the militia to the past. What's more, if you want to conquer Burma by sea, you must build a military port along the way, so that you can also move some militia along the way, we already have Saigon, but the seaborne soldiers can't sail for too long, you need to go to Pattani first, where there are already many Ming merchants.

Then to the Dragon's Tooth Gate.

This is the place where the military port can control the strait, and the old port propaganda department was originally to the south of it.

Then to Medan, this place is also rich, then to Aceh, which is quite populous, and then north to a large island in the sea, which is inhabited by the people, although this place is not very rich, but it can supply fresh water, and there are some strange treasures on the island.

The intervals mentioned above are all about a thousand miles, and the non-existing ports are rich and immigrated places, and a brigade of militia is stationed in one place, and they are recruited in various parts of Liangguang and Fujian, which is nothing more than to give some silver compensation, and His Majesty will give some rewards and so on, there will always be people who are tempted, as long as they go and settle down, then the wealth of these places will naturally attract more people to go there by themselves.

Let's move militias from Shaanxi to fill the land they left behind.

Since the king of Zhennan always said that he would restore the cause of Taizu, how did Taizu immigrate to Shibian, the king of Zhennan would not know, right? As for the plague and the like, it is not so terrible, we have doctors' medicines, those Taixi people do not know medicine at all, and they still have bloodletting treatment when they are sick, or drink Fu water, or even use white sugar as medicine, so they dare to sail tens of thousands of miles to open up the territory, why are our Ming people so expensive?

Although the countries of the Taixi people are not as cold as the Ming Dynasty in winter, but England and Denmark are almost close to Huainan, they can go to Tianzhu, which is hotter than Guangdong in summer, to establish a trading post, and they have never been afraid of any plague, why are I afraid of any plague? Overcoming thorns and thorns is to die after all, but the dead can fight for a piece of fertile soil for future generations, but it is a pity that when Zheng He went to the West, he failed to follow the colonization method of the Taixi people to open up thousands of miles of territory for the Ming Dynasty.

If this is the case since Zheng He's time, then how can the East still have the turn of the Taixi people.

When Zheng He went to the West, they didn't even know that they could make a detour to the Cape of Good Hope, let alone the Americas, and in the year Zheng He died, they thought that the Moorish desert was the end of the world, and we could only go east along the land.

We missed the year.

But we can't afford to miss this one again.

No matter how late it is, this world will not have our share, and almost all the countries that Tessie can come out of are trying their best to snatch colonies from the outside, and even the Swedes are here for us. ”

Li Zhizao said.

The Gothenburg sent by the second master in advance has arrived in Zhoushan and anchored there, in fact, at this time the envoys of various countries have arrived, but according to the rules, they all have to go to Nanjing first, and then take the canal boat north to Beijing to meet the Ming Emperor. As for the Austrian envoys who arrived first, they had already returned to Macao by this time, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty casually rewarded them with some gifts, but these gifts were enough to make them tremble with excitement, and they would return on Portuguese merchant ships this autumn.

"The plague and the like are indeed troublesome, but they can be solved in the end, I will order the medical school to develop a symptomatic medicine for the common epidemic diseases in Nanyang, and the Mang clan has been in turmoil for nearly a hundred years so far, if I don't ask for peace again, how can I see the temple?"

Apocalypse said.

In this case, the king of Zhennan had no choice but to obey the order.

Left and right is not a big deal, at present, the Daming Navy has already used the east of the Dragon's Tooth Gate as a bath, and the trading post of the Nanyang Company is as far as the west coast of India, not to mention that the Yang family has built countless new schooners over the years, which are enough to transport a 20,000-person army to land in Salian, and maintain a large-scale attack to the east.

Myanmar only.

Even if Mang Yinglong was alive, he couldn't bear the Ming army at this time, let alone that Donghu had gone downhill at this time.

While the monarch was talking, a team of four-wheeled carriages came from behind, and those workers quickly took out heavy tinplate cans from this warehouse, and then loaded them onto these carriages, and they would be sent all the way to the capital, at this time the new highway from Tianjin to the capital had been built, and it was completely passable for four-wheeled carriages. And a group of camel caravans in the capital who have been waiting for a long time will carry these cans to distant northern Shaanxi, and the layout of the king of Zhennan finally shows its value at this moment......

It was shown last year.

In the second half of last year, the Shaanxi camel caravan, which had swelled up because of the oil sent to the Yang family, completely supported the various armies in the northwest, and most of the materials were transported by them.

"Fill my dragon boat too!"

Apocalypse said suddenly.

"Your Majesty, these carriages are sufficient."

Yang Xin hurriedly said.

"It can be regarded as my contribution to the people of northern Shaanxi, let's build a few more ships when we go back, and in the future, we will use steam ships to transport them on this canal."

His Majesty the Emperor said.

In this way, His Majesty's dragon boat was also filled with canned food and sailed upstream to the capital.

Of course, this is just a warehouse, and at this moment, in the Yangjia Zhuangzi in Luannan, warehouses that can be called strategic reserves are opened, and heavy tinplate cans are loaded into carriages and begin to be transported to the capital. And in the capital, the caravans have already begun to set off, horses, camels, donkeys, mules, and all kinds of livestock loaded with grain and canned food, and began their long journey.

The Ming Dynasty's Natural Disaster mode is on.

The disaster relief mode of the Ming Dynasty is also on.
