In order to be able to win the emperor's favor, Niu Jinxing obviously worked hard. Although he didn't know that Su Changqing was Chongzhen, every time the emperor talked to students at Yenching University, he would always unconsciously quote Su Changqing's remarks, which made Niu Jinxing seem to guess the emperor's preferences. Therefore, with the help of Su Changqing's previous articles published in the Daming Times, he summed up some ideas on the planned economy.

Compared with Zhang Dai's statement, what Niu Jinxing said is obviously closer to reality and quite organized. After some remarks, Zhang Dai and Chen Zilong both looked thoughtful. This made Niu Jinxing quite complacent, but he looked at the emperor whose face had not changed much on the side, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he sat down.

Chongzhen obviously didn't notice the slight change in Niu Jinxing's expression, and he turned his gaze to Xia Yunyi, who had not yet spoken.

At the emperor's suggestion, Xia Yunyi, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "What is the minister's opinion on the planned economy?" I remembered such a sentence: The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more loss; The way of man, the loss is not enough to give more than enough.

In the minister's view, the so-called rest with the people and not interfering with the lives of the people is just a kind of laissez-faire in the early years of the founding of each dynasty, when there were few people in the land due to years of war, and the contradictions between the local powerful and the people were not fierce, rather than the governance of the country.

However, in the later years of the dynasty, after the wasteland was reclaimed, the local tycoons would begin to turn their attention to the fields in the hands of the small people. At this time, the so-called rest with the people is just that the loss is not enough to serve more than enough.

When I was young, I didn't know the suffering of the people, but in the past few years, I have learned that the people of the north of the Ming Dynasty have really reached the point where their lives are unsustainable. If the imperial court does not interfere again, I am afraid that it will be really difficult for the people at the bottom to survive.

Although the ten fingers are also long and short, the difference in the length of the fingers exceeds a certain level, and it is difficult to make a fist again. Today, the economy of all parts of the Ming Dynasty seems to have lost its normal proportion of fingers.

Jiangnan is too prosperous, and the border areas around the country are too poor, if the imperial court cannot change this situation, then those border areas will inevitably be alienated from the central government.

Therefore, the minister thought that the implementation of the planned economy was to make up for the deficiency by losing more than it lacked, and this was exactly what the imperial court should do. ”

After listening to what the four people said, Zhu Youzhen surprisingly did not comment immediately, but thought for a moment before saying: "What you said is very reasonable, it can be seen that after your own thinking, I think this is very good."

As an official of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to obeying the orders of his superiors, the ability to think independently is also extremely important. So I don't want to comment on whether your ideas are right or wrong today.

I think you can keep your opinion and work slowly to prove whether your ideas are right or wrong. But I want you to remember that today I tolerate your disagreement. So in the rest of your lives, learn to tolerate the different opinions of others..."

If someone had asked Fan Wencheng what his power was before, then he would definitely think that he was a martial artist who had mastered the handle of the sword. Under the rule of the savage and murderous Heavenly Mandate Khan, both the Jurchens and the Han people of Liaodong could only tremble and fall to their knees under the butcher's knife of the other party.

The Jurchens ruled the Han people of Liaodong with fear, who were nearly ten times more numerous than themselves, and in order to keep themselves and their families alive, some of the Liaodong clans with flexible stature desperately pledged their loyalty to the Jurchens, and even pointed their butcher knives at their own compatriots.

As the saying goes, if you betray once, you will betray countless times, and if you kneel once, it will be difficult to get up and walk on your own. Now that they have become slaves of the Jurchens, some people want other Han Chinese to kneel down like themselves, so that they do not feel that they are an outlier.

Whether it is Li Yongfang or Fan Wencheng, these Han traitors who defected to the Jurchens to obtain the official position of the Houjin State, the future they fear the most is the re-emergence of the Ming Dynasty.

This is also the reason why after they surrendered to the Jin, they were all giving advice to the Jurchens and discussing how to eliminate the corrupt Ming Dynasty in their eyes.

Only when the Ming Dynasty really perished, will no one come to investigate how they betrayed their compatriots and helped the Jurchens to slaughter their compatriots. No one wants to struggle for half their lives and end up with a Sun Degong.

It should be said that when Tianming Khan died and Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne as the Great Khan of Houjin, the Han officials and generals in Houjin all stroked their foreheads with their hands, thinking that the day of their emergence had finally come.

Compared with the strange temper and murderous Mandate Khan of Heaven, Corporal Lixian, who is willing to win over Han officials and generals, and is willing to obey the scholars to reform the official system, and bring the Houjin from the rule of the military to the Huang Taiji who governs the country with etiquette, is the Khan of the Mandate of Heaven in the eyes of these Han scholars.

Even if Huang Taiji still needs to be in the same way as the three big Baylors when he succeeds to the throne, compared with the Ming Dynasty in the south, which is constantly fighting between the DPRK and China, no matter how you look at it, the Houjin State is more vigorous.

For example, Fan Wencheng and other scholars have already boasted of themselves as the future scholars of the Jin Kingdom at some point. As long as the Houjin Kingdom continues to maintain the myth that every battle must be won, those Ming troops and Mongols, under the iron hooves of the Houjin Eight Banners, will only turn around and flee.

However, this sense of self-friendliness began to gradually dissipate with the change of emperors of the Southern Dynasty. In its place, anxiety and helplessness followed.

It should be said that under Huang Taiji's continuous training, Hanchen of the Wenguan has indeed produced a lot of talents, and the most outstanding of them are Ning Wan and Fan Wencheng. It's just that I'm proud of my talents, and I am sharp in my work, and I often unconsciously want to exclude others around Huang Taiji.

In comparison, Fan Wencheng, who is cautious and more comprehensive, has won Huang Taiji's favor over the years. Because of this, Huang Taiji handed over the investigation of the Southern Dynasty and other work to him.

Compared with the past Fan Wencheng who ventured into the capital of the Ming Kingdom to investigate the news and regarded Xinxue as a strange skill. Today's Fan Wencheng is capable, cautious in his speech, and open-minded, and even Huang Taiji thinks that he is a counselor he can rely on.

But even so, Fan Wencheng still couldn't understand the changes that had taken place in the Ming Kingdom in the past few years. If we explain the changes in the combat effectiveness of the army, it can also be attributed to the fact that the new emperor likes military affairs and is good at training.

So how did the Ming State come out of the famine of the past few years, and supported several wars with Houjin and Mongolia in a row, this ability to raise resources and wealth is almost like the entire Ming officialdom has been replaced.

Even the Houjin officials, who became honest and dedicated under the butcher's knives of the Jurchen adults, could not make the achievements of the Ming officials in recent years.

The new school, which he regarded as a strange skill, was not only quickly promoted in the north of the Ming Dynasty, but also exploded with amazing power in the Hebei region. After running to Yingkou in person to watch the hydraulic wheel saws cutting trees and the pulley cranes and railway trolleys loading and unloading goods on the wharf, Fan Wencheng stayed awake for several nights.

He finally admitted that the knowledge of making machines is also learning. And those machines also represent power. If Houjin can manufacture such machines and railways in large quantities, it will not only save valuable manpower in China, but also export goods from the Northeast to enrich the national treasury.

In fact, Fan Wencheng and Huang Taiji also experimented, trying to get craftsmen to build machines that saved manpower. But soon they gave up, and the craftsmen knew nothing about how to make the Ming equipment, and even if they copied it, the use of the imitation machine was not satisfactory.

What's even more frustrating is that the Ming people could use fine iron as wood, but the Houjin Kingdom couldn't. Even if the Houjin Kingdom has been able to refine some pig iron now, it is not enough to make weapons and armor, where can it be extravagantly laid on the ground.

Although it shows that the country's control over the border is becoming more and more tight, it is difficult to get any news from Liaoxi. However, with the help of some businessmen and North Korean spies, as well as the Daming Times, Houjin still knew the news that the Ming Dynasty had built iron-smelting plants in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Hu, and its annual iron output was hundreds of millions.

If it weren't for the Ming Emperor casting most of this pig iron into a railway, the Ming would have almost used this pig iron to arm an army of millions of people.

For the Houjin, who is still repeating the strategy of cultivation and warfare in the pre-Qin era, such news is not optimistic at all. Because this means that as long as there is no rebellion within the Ming Kingdom, it is unlikely that the Later Jin army will want to attack the Guannai.

Even Huang Taiji is difficult to determine whether the north of the Ming Dynasty can still allow the Houjin army to come and go freely. After all, they have not even fully grasped the control of the Monan Grassland, once they enter the customs and fall into the siege of the Ming army, if the little emperor on the opposite side goes crazy again, it is doubtful whether they can return to Shenyang alive.

The Daming Times used to be a news channel for Huang Taiji, but as the news above became more and more outrageous, either the victory over Japan and the receipt of tens of millions of reparations, or the merger of the Ryukyu Kingdom into the Ming Dynasty and other news. For the sake of the physical and mental health of the subjects of the Later Jin, Huang Taiji finally decided to ban the Daming Times in China, and ordered Fan Wencheng and others to open the Dajin Times.

Of course, the more forbidden something, the more the people want to know something, and there is no difference between the people of Houjin and the people of the Ming Dynasty. For example, Huang Taiji also issued an order to ban alcohol and smoking, but in addition to raising the price of tobacco and alcohol, he did not get satisfactory results.

The ban on the sale of the Daming Times in Houjin also caused the popularity of the Daming Times among the Jurchen relatives and nobles. Compared with the classical Chinese of the Dajin Times, it is obvious that the vernacular of the Daming Times is more in line with the appetite of those Jurchen relatives.
