Chapter 20 One acre of land for a man's head
In this era, in terms of shipbuilding technology, the Great Xia Dynasty is obviously the top level, whether it is a shipyard of the imperial court or a private shipyard, the sea ships built are among the best in the world. Especially after Zheng Zhi improved the shape of the sea ship at the Cangbei Shipyard.
Today's sea vessels, the popular line is getting better and better, and the sailing speed is getting faster and faster. Coupled with the admiration of craftsmen and technology for more than ten years, as well as the demand for seagoing ships, shipbuilding technology has also made more rapid progress.
Nowadays, after the large-scale development of Nanyang, coupled with the fact that the footsteps of the Han people have set foot in more and more places, many issues have been put on the agenda.
Just when private shipyards in Nanyang began to engage in malicious competition in Jiangnan and other places. An extremely detailed document of the imperial court suddenly spread throughout the country, even in the governor's mansions of tens of millions of overseas places.
According to the Law on the Secrecy of Technology and Science, all technologies and sciences are divided into three levels, which are strictly kept secret and must not be transmitted to outsiders, especially to foreigners, nor can they be manufactured in overseas places.
In fact, three levels are three punishments. For example, in the first class, there are gunpowder, artillery, muskets, etc., as well as steam engines that are being developed, and electrical energy, which has not even really begun to be studied.
These things, once someone spreads them, they will be decided.
The second level is shipbuilding, metallurgy, blacksmithing, some armor making methods, crossbow making methods, and so on. It is the disaster of imprisonment, which can range from ten years to life imprisonment, or the land of Siberia can be reclaimed.
The third level, which is about ceramics, silk, weaving, embroidery, bridges and other relatively civilian technologies, is also a prison sentence, and the maximum sentence is more than ten years in prison.
As soon as this law was issued, there was a wail in the lands of the lands, especially in the South Seas.
There are even some people who have suffered heavy losses, and even some people who have just established a weaving factory, but have not had time to produce, and have already begun to disassemble tools again, load them and ship them back to Jiangnan.
Those shipyards are the same, they have received countless orders, but they cannot produce at this time, and the governor's mansions and ironclad soldiers in various parts of the South Seas patrol everywhere. These shipyards can not be dismantled, but they cannot build ships, but can only repair or strengthen ships.
In this way, the problem of malicious competition in the southern shipyard was immediately solved. However, there is still competition, and mutual competition is only one of them, and the main competition still comes from the competition between the imperial shipyards and the private shipyards. This kind of competition is benign and helps to improve each other's quality and service.
The Great Xia Dynasty also ushered in a great increase in population, this growth is only the beginning stage, with the change of food crops, as the food supply continues to increase steadily, the population will continue to explode.
This is also the reason why Zheng Zhi does not need the people of other countries, and even strictly controls the number of people in the country.
The increase in population will inevitably bring about the emancipation and increase of the productive forces. This requires the production surplus brought about by the foreign dumping capacity, and at this time, it is even more necessary to carry out the global strategy to improve.
This dumping model is actually very simple, that is, to transport raw materials back from overseas, process them into finished products, and then dump them overseas, plundering all useful things overseas, all kinds of metals, food crops, industrial raw materials, mineral raw materials, energy raw materials, and so on.
This model is to use global resources to build a country. Let the country here grow rapidly.
Rubber from Nanyang has also begun to be shipped to China, and the method of making rubber products is also in full swing. Fortunately, when it comes to rubber applications, it's not such a high-tech thing.
But the progress brought by rubber is also undoubted. Concrete roads, wooden wheels, and rubber wheels, where progress is enormous. Even for the animals pulling the carts, it was a boon.
Recently, Dali Temple is also doing another legislative thing. It is the "Forest and Water System Protection Law", which is obviously strongly requested by Zheng Zhi, and there are strict regulations on the ways and means of cutting down forests, how to cut forests, how to plant them, and so on.
Forests must either not be cut down, or they must prevent all forests from being cut down, but they must be selectively cut down, so that all forests are cut down directly, and supplementary planting of cut forests should also be stipulated.
Fortunately, the ancestors have said since ancient times that you should not fish in the dry water, the truth is clear, and it is not difficult to promote it at this time.
The new dynasty has just been established, and it is the most suitable time for all the laws and regulations to be promoted at this time. In the future, there may not be such a relatively efficient upward and downward effect.
So Zheng Zhi's anxiety and anxiety are also here. I just want to turn all the things I can think of in my heart into reality one by one, without regrets.
A nation is either a matter of 10 years or 1000 years, or a matter of 10000 years. A thousand years will not be long before a thousand years can turn a densely forested place in the northwest into a Loess Plateau. Zheng Zhi knew about this matter, the Loess Plateau was not born on the Loess Plateau, it turned out that it was also a lush land.
The Yellow River is not born to be a river of sediment. Hundreds of years ago, the Yellow River was crystal clear.
This kind of thing is the same all over the world. Farming, in fact, will also bring ecological damage. Maintaining a large agricultural population has turned the lush green into the Loess Plateau, which is only a matter of hundreds of thousands of years.
Of course, this is not criticism, and there is no need to criticize, this is the limitation of the times.
Zheng Zhi is worried that the early population explosion will bring more pressure to the land. When productivity is low, human beings can only ask for nature, which is also an inevitable thing under the limitations of the times.
What Zheng Zhi has to do is to avoid, even if there is not enough food, overseas places are mainly farms, farming, raising livestock, and so on...
Coupled with the acquisition of materials, it feeds back domestic production and construction.
Recently, Zheng Kaidu has been by Zheng Zhi's side, listening to Zheng Zhi talk about these truths, the real national strategy, the millennium strategy lies in this land, the centennial strategy lies in foreign expansion and plunder, and the means and methods for dealing with overseas countries, and the ten-year strategy lies in how to build this country, strengthen productivity, strengthen education, strengthen the rule of officials, and strengthen the slow reform and progress of the system.
Zheng Zhi is responsible. At this historical juncture, Zheng Zhi must not be irresponsible, nor can Zheng Zhi be the slightest slack in treating his own nation and country.
Being an emperor should be a thing to enjoy, but Zheng Zhi doesn't seem to be able to enjoy it. Only anxiety and eagerness.
Some people say that Zheng Zhi seems to have changed, becoming less kind, less talkative, and not as smiling and amiable as before.
Some people say that Zheng Zhi has really changed, become stern, become a lot less patient, become unpredictable, become moody, and become difficult to deal with.
Zheng Zhi may have really changed, or no one really knows what Zheng Zhi is doing and what he is bringing to this nation and country.
The only thing Zheng Zhi wants is that at this moment, no one dares to perfunctory him, no one dares not to do what he says, and no one dares to neglect the orders and tasks he has given. No one dared to hold him back.
Because, Zheng Zhi is a prophet!
On this day, Wanyan Zonghan came, and walked out of the jungle in the far north, all the way to the river.
The Jurchen nation is less than the population of a county of the Han people, or even the population of a large town of the Han people. The brilliance on the historical stage of this era is really worthy of reverence.
Now that everything is in the past, everything will become a record in the history books.
Wanyan Zonghan has white hair and ravines on his face. But it still looks powerful.
Zheng Zhi also has some white silk on his head, but there are not many wrinkles on his face.
When the two met, one was not on top of the other, and the other was kneeling on the ground.
In the main hall, two people sat on the ground, and the marble floor was polished and shining. Two huge Siberian tiger skins were laid on the floor.
These two Northeast tiger skins are the trophies of the Northeast Theater, and they were also brought back by Shi Jin when he entered Beijing from the Northeast.
Between the two, there was wine and meat.
There was no expression on Sticky Han's face. When he came in, Mu Han saw Zheng Zhi sitting on the ground of the main hall, and everything on the ground was already ready.
When Sticky Han was still struggling with how to salute, Zheng Zhi had already spoken, letting Sticky Han sit opposite.
Today, the two no longer need an interpreter to talk. Sticky Han can already speak a good Chinese language, and even Sticky Han can read Chinese characters.
Zheng Zhi picked up the wine jug on the ground and poured two glasses, one was handed to Sticky Han, and the other was picked up by himself.
drank it all, and Sticky Han saw that Zheng Zhi drank it all, and drank it into his stomach in one gulp.
Zheng Zhi spoke: "Everything is a thing of the past, Sticky Han, when you picked up a knife and gun, it was just so that the people of the tribe could have a normal life without being oppressed by others, and today I will give you this life to the more than 30,000 people." You have been fighting wars and busy all your life, and you have achieved your long-cherished wish. ”
More than 30,000 people are really nothing to this country of Great Xia, and wherever they are placed, they are just a big town.
When Sticky Han heard this, there were already tears in his eyes. It seems that Zheng Zhi summed up Sticky Han's life with one word. But Mu Han didn't speak, but reached out and took the wine jug, poured a bowl for Zheng Zhi, and poured another bowl for himself.
Maybe it's because Muhan hasn't drunk this kind of wine in years.
Zheng Zhi said again: "The Jurchen is lucky, in the future, the Great Xia Dynasty will never accept other nationalities." Within the land of today's Great Xia, from now on, from the Far North to Dali, from the coast of the East China Sea to the Western Regions, there will be no more ethnic groups. Jurchen, the last one! This will be the luck of the Jurchens, who will follow the Han people and override all the nations! ”
Zheng Zhi is a little extreme after all, he does not believe in the equality of all beings. Because of Zheng Zhi, he has never seen all beings equal. At no time have we ever seen all beings equal.
Sticky Han didn't understand what Zheng Zhi said, but after drinking it all again, he said, "The new emperor of Dajin has already hanged himself." There was no more gold. I only hope that the Jurchens can endure for generations. ”
Zheng Zhi nodded and said, "Wanyan's family, there really isn't a bad seed. ”
Zheng Zhi is boasting, and he also admires it, Wanyan Imperial Family, even this young new emperor, knows that once he dies, he can change the life of more than 30,000 people, and he has already decided! What could be more admirable than this kind of thing?
Sticky Han heard Zheng Zhi's praise, smiled slightly, smiled a little miserably, and said in his mouth: "He is still young, if he had known this, I should have snatched the position of emperor." ”
Zheng Zhi also smiled when he heard this, and said, "Death is meaningful. The living should not fail the dead. Sticky Han, you have more important things to do, farming and farming are not so simple skills that can be mastered, you should learn them, and let your people learn them. In this way, the Jurchens can endure from generation to generation. ”
Mu Han nodded, and then asked, "I, the Jurchen, am the best warrior." You can fight on the battlefield for Your Majesty, and I hope that I can get more land to raise more children and grandchildren in the future. ”
Sticky Han is obviously not just here to surrender and surrender. The surrender of the Jurchen is already a foregone conclusion, and within this foregone conclusion, Mu Han is also thinking about how to fight for benefits. Just like the party members, they fought on the battlefield for Zheng Zhi to gain living space.
The Jurchens wanted to live in space, not the piece of land that Zheng Zhi gave them that could only feed these people today, and the Jurchens wanted to have more children and more children, more land, and more children and grandchildren.
Sticky Han already has a persistent pursuit of population. 30,000 people is too little. The number of 30,000 is like a crisis, only by giving birth to more children and grandchildren, and being able to feed more future generations, can we make Sticky Han feel at ease, or leave the world with peace of mind.
The only ones who can handle it are the Jurchen warriors who are good at fighting. The Jurchens were born to fight for living space, and the same is true today.
When Zheng Zhi heard this, he knew what Sticky Han was thinking, but he didn't refuse, but asked, "Sticky Han, how many more people can fight in the Jurchens?" ”
Sticky Han didn't think about it: "Eight thousand capable warriors." If you have horses and armor, the world can go anywhere. ”
Sticky Han spoke, expressing his pride. is also carrying out self-promotion, the Jurchen is not incapable of fighting, as long as they are fully equipped, they do not worry about eating and drinking. As Mu Han said, 8,000 armor soldiers are invincible in the world.
Even Sticky Han, who is a loser, already has such self-confidence, and the self-confidence comes from which simple Jurchen warriors. Sticky Han is very confident in the warriors of his clan.
But it also tells a sad truth. Of the more than 30,000 Jurchens, there are 8,000 young and strong. It can be seen that the Jurchens have depleted their population in one winter. Old and weak, almost lost. There are only young people, young women, half-grown boys, and these eight thousand young men who can go into battle.
Zheng Zhi thought about it when he heard this, and said: "Take a boat to walk thousands of miles, and one person has one acre of land!" Great achievements are rewarded! ”
Traveling thousands of miles by boat means going to the Persian Gulf. A person's head is an acre of land, so there is no need to say more.
Sticky Han was overjoyed when he heard this, and said again: "Jian Ma Armor, please also ask Your Majesty to be merciful." ”
Zheng Zhi laughed and said: "The Jian horse armor is naturally complete, and a certain will return the Jurchen musket artillery!" ”
Sticky Han got up from the ground, knelt on the ground, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! ”
