The Royal Bank has been established, and Zhu Youxiao naturally knows that this means that he is beginning to change the economic life of Daming and begin to make Daming's capital more active, until one day he will get rid of the shackles of the small peasant economy.

At present, just a royal industrial company was established, and tens of thousands of people have been recruited to work, and the number of beggars wandering in the capital has been greatly reduced.

Zhu Youxiao believes that with the growing strength of the Royal Industrial Corporation, it will naturally solve the employment problem of more people.

What's more, there will definitely be more than the Royal Industrial Company in the future, with the development of Daming Technology, from the daily needs of the people to the national military weapons, a series of national holding companies will be established one after another.

And these will naturally become trust monopolies in a certain industry, and the talents needed will naturally be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Naturally, it can play a great role in absorbing the large number of displaced people caused by land bankruptcy.

Of course, in this way, one or two new roles will inevitably appear, one is a worker and the other is a capitalist, and new contradictions will also arise.

However, it doesn't matter if Zhu Youxiao falls, he himself will become the largest capitalist and control the largest capital of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he keeps expanding the empire, the contradictions between the workers and him will always be contained in the bud.

Moreover, the awakening of the proletarian consciousness of the workers is not an overnight thing, it may be a hundred years from now, or it may be two hundred years from now, so why should he worry about what will happen in a hundred years.

In the old saying, future generations have their own blessings.

What he has to do now is to make himself the helmsman of the economic development of the Ming Dynasty, not the gentry group in Jiangnan, nor the barbarians in Liaodong, and he doesn't want to end up with Louis XVI.

wealth from the profits of the Royal Industrial Corporation and the savings of the Royal Bank,

However, before the expansion of the Praetorian Guard, he did not plan to directly cut off the old army, which would directly deprive the military landlords of the opportunity to legally exploit the soldiers, which would inevitably cause turmoil, and the guards would lose their support because of this, and would even be coerced by the military landlords to embark on the road of rebellion.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao could not carry out the reform of the health system in a rash and reckless manner.

However, the fact that the old army cannot be eliminated does not mean that the Praetorian Guard cannot be expanded, after all, the expansion of the Praetorian Guard does not hinder the interests of these people, not to mention that the total number of troops now is far less than that of the previous dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao has every reason to expand the scale of his pro-army.

After Zhu Youxiao preliminarily discussed the plan for expanding the army with Lu Xiangsheng, the left attendant of the military department, and Liu Ruoyu, the head of the imperial horse supervisor, he summoned the commanders of the battalions of the Praetorian Guard, as well as officials from the technical system such as Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua, to the Qianqing Palace.

Since it was a military meeting of the Praetorian Guard, this time Zhu Youxiao still broke the convention.

It does not pay attention to the etiquette of monarchs and ministers, but focuses on practicality, of course, there is still a hierarchical order in the army.

A large oval mahogany table sits in the center of the lobby, hollowed out in the middle, with various plants in the center, and on the central wall hangs a Ming version of the national military map.

Zhu Youxiao is the supreme commander, so he naturally sits in the center.

And Liu Ruoyu also sat next to him as the deputy commander, and so did Lu Xiangsheng.

The commanders of the other battalions of the Praetorian Guard and Xu Guangqi sat on both sides equally, while Liu Bin and Tang Fusheng sat opposite Zhu Youxiao, one was naturally a clerk and was responsible for recording the meeting, and the other was a discipline maintainer.

In front of everyone, there was a palace tea brewed by Xiao Huangmen, but except for Zhu Youxiao who dared to drink it, everyone else had to endure it even if they were really thirsty.

Since it was a military meeting, Zhu Youxiao did not beat around the bush, and directly went straight to the point: "Before I summoned you here, I had already discussed the specific plan for army expansion with Lu Shilang and Gonggong Liu, and now I let you come, first, to give you orders, and secondly, to let you put forward your own opinions." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao turned to the right and instructed Lu Xiangsheng: "Tell them about the plan to expand the army." ”

"Because the power of Dongnu is still strong, and the Liaodong Guanning Iron Cavalry, especially the Wu Xiangbu and the Zu Dale Department, there is a greater threat to our Ming Dynasty, and there are also potential threats to Mongolia and some dishonest Tusi in the southwest, but the border troops around the country are like bandits in addition to killing good and risking merit, plundering people's property, and harming the people in vain without saving the people, so at this time of internal and external troubles, we have decided to expand the 100,000 Praetorian Guards, that is, the size of the Praetorian Guards will be directly expanded tenfold!"

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng said this, everyone unconsciously puffed up their chests, and looked left and right, and the excitement on their faces couldn't help but show.

"Don't think that expanding the army of 100,000 is the same as Nuwa Niangniang making people, take wicker dipped in muddy water and sprinkle it casually, it is not a simple matter to train these 100,000 people into heroic soldiers who dare to fight and kill, from the most basic queue training to shooting training and even the rules of stacking quilts and making beds, washing and even eating, drinking and Lazar, you have to think about teaching one by one in an orderly manner, you commanders and envoys of each battalion have to work hard, but I don't dare to pack tickets, although you can bring a thousand people, now give you tens of thousands of people, Can you bring it with you? ”

Zhu Youxiao asked these commanders as he spoke, and Qin Botong was the first to stand up and saluted Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, rest assured!" It's just Han Xin's soldiers, the more the merrier. ”

Zhu Youxiao beckoned him to sit down, and instructed Liu Ruoyu to convey instructions.

Liu Ruoyu stood up, walked to the front of the map and said:

"For this recruitment, we have identified the following recruitment locations:

One is Qindi, most of the people here are heroic and loyal, since ancient times it is a place to send good soldiers, and because it is very close to Mongolia, there are many people who are good at riding and shooting, so the commander of the cavalry battalion is responsible for recruiting troops from Qindi;

The second is the area of Xuzhou, Huaibei, where the people are fierce, most of the people are warlike, and Qin Botong of the baggage battalion went to this area to recruit soldiers;

The third place is Huguang, since ancient times, there is no Hunan army, and the rich sea of the artillery battalion went to this area to recruit soldiers;

The fourth place is the southwest, although the people in this area are short and capable, but the endurance is very strong, especially the Tujia and Miao or Yi brothers, they are good at jungle warfare or long-distance running, the wolf soldiers who made great contributions in the Jiajing Dynasty and the white pole soldiers who suppressed luxury Chongming are all from here, the three battalions of infantry except Chang Yanling personally went to Si0 Sichuan, Lu Jiayu went to Guangxi 0 West, Mu Tianbo went to Yunnan;

The fourth place is the land of Yanzhao in Gyeonggi, where there are many people who are sad and sad, and they have the deepest hatred with the Tartars, so Liu Bin, the commander of the engineer battalion and the clerk, went to recruit them! ”

"Yes!"

After Liu Ruoyu finished speaking, the commanders of the seven battalions all stood up. (To be continued.) )
