The situation in Nanyang, Emperor Chongzhen has actually been paying attention.

Liu Xiang finally wanted to unite all forces to fight against the Ming Dynasty, which was actually what Emperor Chongzhen was willing to see, and it was also the result of his instructions to the Nanyang side.

If Da Ming's strength is not strong enough, then all forces unite to deal with Da Ming, this situation is something Da Ming does not want to see. But now, as far as those local forces in Nanyang are concerned, with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, they really can't look down on it.

Just like a game that Emperor Chongzhen played in later generations, when the characters were still very weak, they could only be killed by a few strange ways when they entered the Scarlet Monastery. But when the characters are strong, they all lead all the monsters in the Scarlet Monastery together, and then kill them together, the so-called wave of streams.

For the natives on this side of the South Seas, Emperor Chongzhen also means this, otherwise, it is really too troublesome.

However, for now, there is also a problem, that is, the Ming Dynasty is expanding too fast.

In just about two years, three feudal kings have been divided, and the fourth feudal king will soon go out. These vassal kings were divided into feudal feuds, and Emperor Chongzhen didn't want them to just rule the local natives. At the very least, the Ming people also have to bring some of the past. In this way, we can maintain the same origin and be one with the mother country. In other words, the feudal state can assimilate the local natives to the same as the Ming people, but it cannot be assimilated by the natives. And this, at least one thing, the population of the Ming people should not be too small.

Of course, there are many means of assimilation, but in any case, the composition of the population base is crucial.

This is just four vassal kings, if all the vassal kings in the country are separated, how many Ming people will be brought out?

In addition, Liaodong, North Korea, grasslands and other places in the Ming Dynasty are all vast and sparsely populated, and they also need a large number of people to enrich them.

Emperor Chongzhen had already issued an edict before to encourage childbearing! A considerable part of the money from the imperial court tax should be taken out to subsidize the families with multiple births, and in addition, funds should be invested in the development of various vaccines, and before that, it is necessary to invest in the research of chemical and biological related disciplines, and before that, it is necessary to promote scientific and technological knowledge...... And so on and so forth, all of this, in fact, all of this requires money.

Before, Emperor Chongzhen shouted poverty at the vassal king's clan meeting, not hypocrisy, nor was he looking for a reason to collect money from the vassal king, but he was really short of money!

Today, the registered population of the Ming Dynasty is only more than 60 million, and at least more than double the population is not registered with the government, which is the so-called hidden household. Effective management of the existing population is also an option. Moreover, it is also related to the issue of tax evasion, and it is also related to money.

In the past, at least before the development of the Internet, there was no special good way to manage the population. Especially in this ancient period, the problem of hidden households is a problem that has existed in all dynasties, and it cannot be eliminated at all.

However, for Emperor Chongzhen, solving the problem of hidden households is an achievable goal. Of course, there are naturally difficulties, and he needs to work hard.

Emperor Chongzhen thought so in his heart, so he glanced at the achievement value in the lower left corner of the chat group system, and there were more than 10 million achievement points. This achievement value is still too little. Well, let's make some more money first!

However, there is one problem that must be solved first. So, he called out in his mind: "System, I want to upgrade a system function, is that okay?" ”

The long-lost system assistant was awakened: "This system is a chat group system, if the host wants to add functions other than the capabilities of this system, I'm sorry, I can't do anything." Of course, if it is within the capabilities of the system, new additions can be achieved by consuming achievement points. ”

As soon as he heard this, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was really okay, so he hurriedly replied: "System, the new function I asked to add is very simple, that is, the members in the main chat area, after the chat is completed, will forget the content of the chat, I believe this system can do it, right?" It's not very useful to kick people out of the group, but you said before that kicking out of the group can erase memories! ”

"The host is easy to remember, this system can indeed achieve this function, but it needs to consume five million achievement points, does the host need to add this function?"

"System, confirmed!" Emperor Chongzhen was full of joy when he heard it, not to mention five million, that is, ten million achievement points, he would not hesitate to agree, because there was nothing else, as soon as this function came out, it was easy for him to monopolize the right to disseminate information, and he could implement the great cause of making money.

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen agreed in his heart, the five million achievement points disappeared in an instant, and then after a few seconds, the system prompted him: "Host, this function has been upgraded. ”

Although the system is produced, the quality is guaranteed. But this matter is very important, and Emperor Chongzhen still has to verify it. So, he immediately chatted with Wen Tiren privately and said: "Wen Qing will take a look at the chat content in the main chat group first, or you can say a word, and then leave the chat group, and then enter the group again, I have something to ask!" “

Wen Tiren was a little puzzled when he heard this, and he didn't know what the emperor meant by letting him do this? But since the emperor came to him, he had no choice but to do it.

However, when he left the chat group, he immediately noticed that something was wrong. I should have obeyed the emperor's will and spoken in the main chat group, but why didn't I have any impression at all, and I only remembered what the emperor told me to do? Did you forget to leave a message in the main chat group? It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, I have always obeyed the holy will, and it is impossible not to do such a small thing as I am told!

With this doubt in his heart, Wen Tiren re-entered the chat group, and before he could speak, Emperor Chongzhen's private chat was sent: "Wen Qing, do you remember if you left a message in the main chat group?" ”

Wen Tiren heard it strangely, so he immediately told him about the situation he had encountered.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help laughing, sure enough, the quality is guaranteed by the system! If you say that the memory of the main chat group is erased, it will be erased, and it will not affect other chats such as private chats. In that case, let's start making money!

Thinking so, he spoke in the temporary group of Wenhua Palace: "I have decided to reorganize the post station system, and propose it separately from the Ministry of War, and set up the Ministry of Transportation, which is parallel to the six major departments!" ”

Originally, it was decided to make the Ministry of Science and Technology independent, but it would not become independent until the Department of Science and Technology made political achievements. Now I have a new idea, but the Ministry of Transportation is independent first.

Hearing this, these officials in the group couldn't help but be taken aback. Wen Tiren knew that this matter must have something to do with what the emperor had just let him do, so he immediately asked, "Your Majesty, why has the post station become so important?" ”

You must know that if the post station becomes the Ministry of Communications, and if it is juxtaposed with other ministries, then there will be one more second-grade Shangshu, and the pattern of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Industry since ancient times will be broken.

"Your Majesty, the minister has objections!" Shen Yongmao, the secretary of the military department, immediately objected, "The post station is not very important to the Ming Dynasty, so why should there be another one?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen has earned a lot of achievement points since his southern tour, and he has added all the main officials to the chat group. Therefore, he held a meeting in the chat group system, which was actually not much different from holding a meeting in the Wenhua Palace.

Of course, if you have to say the difference, there must be something, and the virtual is definitely not as formal as the reality. There are also the demeanor, expressions, movements, etc. of the on-site personnel, even if they have a video conference, it is not as good as coming to the scene. However, this meeting, because it involved a chat group, Emperor Chongzhen discussed it in the temporary group.

Hearing Shen Yongmao's words, Emperor Chongzhen could imagine it, and others probably thought the same way.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen immediately explained: "There is a saying since ancient times, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads!" I have sworn that I want all my people to live a prosperous life, so this road must be built first, and it must be taken seriously, and this is one of them! ”

Hearing this, all the knowledgeable ministers were stunned for a moment, this sentence has been said since ancient times? Why have you never heard of it?

So, Shen Yongmao immediately played: "Your Majesty, I don't know when this sentence is said when you want to build roads first if you want to get rich, Weichen is really lonely and unheard, and I really haven't heard of it." Please also ask Your Majesty to solve the doubts for the ministers, how can you see that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads? ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Hubu Shangshu Bi Ziyan also had doubts, and then said. After all, it's about making money, and he cares about it very much. The other courtiers did not speak, but just listened.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw their words, he couldn't help but be stunned. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, isn't it since ancient times? Such an easy-to-understand, well-known thing, they even have to explain it themselves?

He didn't know that this sentence really didn't have around since ancient times. At least in ancient times, there was not a deep understanding of this sentence.

In the original history, the phrase "building roads before getting rich" was put forward in the early days of reform and opening up, that is, in the eighties of the twentieth century.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally didn't know, thinking that it had existed since ancient times. Therefore, he skipped Shen Yongmao's first question and said directly: "Such a simple truth, don't you know?" ”

As soon as they heard this, these knowledgeable high-ranking officials in the temporary group immediately wondered. Unexpectedly, in terms of knowledge, he was despised by a young man in his twenties. But think about it, it seems that the emperor does have this qualification, at least he has proved that whether it is cement, steam engines, hot air balloons, etc., or scientific and technological knowledge, it is not something that he can come up with.

Thinking of this, Wen Tiren immediately said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to give some guidance to your ministers." ”

If the other party was not the emperor, they might still be embarrassed to ask for advice like this, after all, they are the highest officials of the Ming Dynasty, and it would be a bit embarrassing to ask others for advice like this! But now that they are facing the emperor, then there is nothing, the Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven, can it be an ordinary person? Therefore, other courtiers also followed up and asked the emperor to solve their doubts, which can be regarded as showing their studious side in front of the emperor.

Of course, there is one person who is an exception, and he is Min Hongxue. At this time, he was still sitting on Meng Mi's side. When he was the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou before, in order to suppress the rebellion, he organized the construction of roads. He has a good understanding of the impact of inconvenient transportation.

Although at that time, he was mainly to suppress the rebellion, but he was not stupid, based on his actual example, after a little thought, he must have understood what the emperor said more than others.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that they were so studious, so he had to explain to them in detail: "Zhuqing should all come from places with better transportation, and they are not too impressed by the road!" Let me give you a brief example, for example, the transportation between Sichuan and the Central Plains, is it inconvenient? ”

"Xichuan's specialty is that there is a steam engine or the like, and the output has increased greatly, but the road is not good and it can't be transported, so what if the output is large? If you can't ship it outside, even if many people outside want to buy it, it's just as useless, right? ”

"Also, even if it can be shipped out, because the road is inconvenient, the transportation cost is very high, so that the cost of only one or two silver in the production area will cost three taels, four taels, or even higher when it comes to the outside, so Zhu Qing thinks that the sales of this thing will be high?"

“……”

Emperor Chongzhen posted one opinion after another, and everyone else in the group was watching. For the example of Sichuan, they can easily understand, after all, there is a saying that has indeed existed since ancient times. Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky! It is indeed too difficult to ship things from Sichuan!

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen's words about transportation, just after saying it, these high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty basically understood what the emperor meant. After all, they weren't stupid, they just didn't think about it seriously.

In other words, in their eyes, economic development, although important, is not as important as politics. What's more, the economic development they consider is more about the wealthy families, rather than all the Ming people that Emperor Chongzhen thinks. The location is different, and the thinking is also different.

"I'll give you another example, now that the feudal kingdom is newly built, there is a lot of demand for various commodities, but the feudal kingdom is in the south of the Ming Dynasty, if it is not by the sea, the transportation is very inconvenient, so it will also affect the circulation of commodities and goods, and it will also have a great hindrance to the development of the Ming economy and the prosperity of the feudal country!"

Emperor Chongzhen explained to them a lot of examples, from the resource advantages in various places can not be effectively transformed into economic advantages because of the problem of transportation, the productivity can not be realized but can not be realized, and the cost of goods is too high due to inconvenient transportation. I believe that as long as you are not stupid, you should be able to understand the importance of road construction.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen finally said: "If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, that's what it means." In this way, Zhu Qing thinks that if I want to make the people of the Ming Dynasty rich, should this road be repaired, should it be repaired, should it be raised to the most important position to talk about the problem of road construction? ”
