Section 8: Planning

After watching the documentary of the solar system, Zhu Yunwen played the history of the Ming Dynasty on the big screen again. Zhu Youzhen has come out of his grief, and calmly re-looked at the record evaluation of himself and the Ming Dynasty by later generations. Empress Zhou and the others felt Zhu Youzhen's calmness, and also settled down, and followed the serious look at the Ming history records displayed on the big screen.

Zhu Yunwen nodded approvingly and didn't speak, just quietly waiting for Zhu Youzhen. After a long time, the big screen went black, and Zhu Youzhen was silent for a long time before he asked: "Ancestor, now the Ming Dynasty is crumbling, and three years later, it will be the time when the Ming Dynasty will fall." I also asked my ancestor to teach me how to turn the tide and protect my country. ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said: "Open a new school, build a new army, and strengthen the new policy." The ancestor should have told you that the current Confucianism of the Ming Dynasty has been extremely distorted, and Confucian students cannot learn the strategy of strengthening the country. Then, it is imperative to start a new school. In fact, the so-called new learning only restores the six arts of Confucianism in the true sense.

New students should not only learn new knowledge, but also have a strong physique, and can defend their families and the country at any time if the country needs it. The content of the new course will include history, geography, nature, chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics and other subjects.

In the construction of the new army, on the one hand, the cold weapons were phased out and the hot weapons were applied, which required the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty to enhance the power of firearms. In this regard, His Majesty the Emperor can then issue an order to open a new Ordnance Bureau, so that the craftsmen of the capital can go to the Ordnance Bureau to receive the inheritance of knowledge.

On the other hand, there is a need for new-style officers. It is possible to promote officers from the current army to receive the knowledge of the new type of warfare. At the same time, it is also necessary to put an end to the army's bad habit of eating empty hours and practice new tactics and tactics. The nine-sided army can not move for the time being, and the army that encircles and suppresses the thieves can also stand still for the time being, but the third battalion of the Beijing division must immediately rectify it.

Lao Zu's suggestion was that the prince could reorganize the three battalions of the Beijing Division, eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled in the three battalions of the Beijing Division, and rebuild a new army with at least 30,000 soldiers. Nowadays, there are countless people in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not difficult to recruit qualified soldiers. Moreover, military power must also be in the hands of the royal family.

After the new army was built, the new army first went to Jiubian, recruited the current army of Jiubian back to Beijing for retraining, and took back the military power into the hands of the royal family. Then he went to Henan and Sichuan to suppress bandits, and took over the army that was now suppressing bandits.

On the one hand, the new policy will reduce or reduce agricultural taxes and provide relief to the victims. The natural disasters of the Ming Dynasty for many years not only included drought and flood, but also locust plague and plague, which led to the displacement of the people. The exemption from agricultural taxes will prevent the people from becoming displaced people, and the relief of food and medicine will make the people grateful to the imperial court.

Second, commercial tax is levied. The history of the Ming Dynasty can see that the Ming Dynasty is not poor, the poor are only the royal family, the poor are only the court, and the poor are only the low-level people. Nearly ninety percent of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty is concentrated in the hands of these merchants and officials. The ancestor also knew that during the Apocalypse, the Ming Dynasty wanted to levy commercial taxes, but was collectively resisted by the officials of the Donglin Party.

Emperor, you should know why these Donglin Party members are so disgusted with the imperial court's collection of commercial taxes. It's just a very simple reason, the imperial court levied commercial taxes, which was to damage their interests. Rather than let their interests suffer, it is better to let the court suffer, anyway, the profession of the emperor will not be their turn to do it.

Moreover, not only that, businessmen have ninety percent of the wealth of the Ming Dynasty, but they do not think about worrying about the country, but there are many businessmen who are thieves in and out of the country. Not only circulated prohibited goods to thieves, but also smuggled weapons and other contraband that endangered the safety of the Ming Dynasty to Jiannu. Especially the Jin merchants in Shanxi, because of geography, nearly eighty percent of the Jin merchants are inextricably linked with Jiannu. Jiannu's weapons, armor, and firearms were basically smuggled from Shanxi.

Third, the royal family came forward to build a new factory in Beijing and recruit displaced people to work in the factory, first, to solve the problem of displaced people, and second, to allow the royal family and the treasury to have new financial resources. As for the new factories to be built, they will include cement factories, steel plants, gunpowder factories, chemical factories and other factories that are also needed by the Ming army.

Fourth, promote loyal and capable officials and purge the government. Now those officials in the DPRK and China who can only pass the buck in case of trouble, and hear about the trouble, can let them retire. Well, they should be investigated for corruption first, and according to the amount of corruption they have, decide whether they will retire or sit in prison.

Emperor, you have also seen in the history of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to a few dignified martyrs, most of those Donglin Party members have fallen again and again, just to save their own lives and wealth. Compared with these Donglin Party members, those middle- and low-level officials who have low positions but generously go to trouble for the country are more worthy of His Majesty the Emperor's promotion now.

Fifth, after the rectification of the capital, it will gradually advance to all prefectures and counties across the country, and completely reverse the corrupt politics of the Ming Dynasty. After completing the domestic rectification, Daming's sight should fall outside Daming. In addition to the Ming Dynasty, there is also a vast land, and there is a land with richer properties than the Ming Dynasty. As the center of the world, the Ming Dynasty should put those rich and vast lands under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the specifics, the emperor can return to the palace first, and after the court tomorrow morning, he can recruit loyal ministers who died for the country's martyrdom, first promote these loyal ministers to important positions, and then gradually expel those mediocre ministers who forget the country and forget the monarch only for themselves After leaving the court, the new policy will be implemented step by step. ”

Listening to Zhu Yunwen come up with his plan one by one, Zhu Youzhen and the others forgot to breathe when they heard it, and after a long time, Zhu Youzhen swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said dryly: "Ancestor, what you said needs a large amount of silver taels to support. But now that the Ming treasury is empty, he can't take out so much silver at all. ”

Zhu Yunwen smiled and said, "No, Your Majesty the Emperor, Da Ming is very rich. ”

Zhu Youzhen knew what Zhu Yunwen meant, but let him just grab money from those rich people, even if he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't dare to do it.

Zhu Yunwen shook his head, saw Zhu Youzhen's scruples, and thought for a while: "That's good, the ancestor can take out some silver taels of grain first, and let the prince rectify the three camps of the Beijing Division first." In half a year at most, the prince must reorganize the three battalions of the Beijing Division into an army with combat power. The crown prince could then lead his army to Shanxi and confiscate the property of the merchants who had built slaves in Litong.

Lao Zu estimated that the property of those merchants alone was enough to support the imperial court to carry out a comprehensive rectification. In addition, the queen can also go out of the palace and build a new factory in the capital as a royal family, recruit displaced people to work in the factory, and promote the positive image of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the newly opened factory cannot accommodate too many displaced people, so the queen also needs to organize the displaced people to open up the countryside in the name of the royal family, and all the expenses for the reclamation and the food for the displaced people to eat are supplied by the royal family. This two-pronged approach is enough to bring enough reputation to the royal family.

Your Majesty the Emperor, through the history of the Ming Dynasty, you should see that in fact, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is the best object to carry the black cauldron. No matter how much the emperor issued a will to love the people, the officials below would always misinterpret it to cause the people to lose money, and finally put the blame on the emperor, so that the people were disappointed in the emperor. ”

"However, the ancestral system can't let the queen leave the ......palace easily," Zhu Youzhen said in a tangled manner, Zhu Yunwen shook his head and said: "The ancestral system can no longer adapt to the trend of the times, and the emperor and empress can't stay in the palace forever." In later generations, as the leader of the country, whether it is himself or his wife, he must go into the people, understand the living conditions of the people, and solve the problems of the people's survival.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to be permanent, it must keep up with the trend of the times, and those ancestral systems that are no longer suitable must be innovated. Moreover, not only the queen, but also several noble concubines and princesses must also go out of the palace, understand more about the difficulties of the people, and solve the difficulties of the people according to the truth. ”

"In addition, the issue of eunuchs also needs to be resolved. The profession of emperor and eunuch is very inhumane. The ancestor thought that in the future, the palace would not need to recruit eunuchs, and the existing eunuchs would be used by the royal family for the time being, and they would also be responsible for their lives in the second half of their lives.

As for the palace maids, the royal family can no longer let them be trapped in the palace for the rest of their lives, and when they reach marriageable age, they should be allowed to unite with their sweethearts. The emperor also needs to issue a decree to release the foot order so that women no longer bind their feet. The three-inch golden lotus is not beautiful, but a perversion. Women should be full, in that way, the princess of the royal family can also build a female army, and can use the female army to guard the palace and undertake some heavy work in the palace.

Moreover, with the development of science and technology, some heavy work does not require manpower, and machines can be used to work. Besides, with the development of firearms, it is more than enough for the female army to use firearms to form an army and guard the palace, and there is no need to use eunuchs inhumanely. ”

Zhu Youzhen suddenly had a headache, and looked at Zhu Yunwen with some grievances. Zhu Yunwen sighed slightly in his heart, shook his head and said: "Emperor, the things you received today are a bit too many and complicated, it's better to go back to the palace to rest and rest first, sort out today's information, and then think about it."

At present, the ancestor cannot leave the world for the time being, and will spend it in Daming. Now that Yu Jiao is already a disciple of the ancestor, and the ancestor is also a member of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is related to the ancestor, and the ancestor will not watch the Ming Dynasty slide into the abyss. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded helplessly, today is indeed like a dream, first the immortal family and the like fell from the sky, and the immortal chief is still his own ancestor, before the excitement is over, it is rumored that the Ming Dynasty has only been three years, and he has become the king of the dead country.

Then there is the blessed land of Xianjia Cave, the science and technology of the next four hundred years, and then Zhu Yun's earth-shattering plan. Zhu Youzhen has lost his measures in a daze, and he really needs to be quiet and think about it.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen nodding blankly, Zhu Yunwen smiled indifferently, waved his sleeves and rolled up everyone's beard and left the small world of Dongtian in a moment, and appeared in front of the Qianqing Palace. The palace maids who had been waiting here hurriedly stepped forward to serve the queen, the princess, the prince and the princess to return to their palaces.

After Zhu Youzhen sent Zhu Yunwen into the Taiji Palace, he stood silently for a long time before he sighed and left with Wang Chengen.
