Chapter 341: Nine Years of the Seemingly Peaceful Apocalypse
In the days that followed, Da Ming seemed to be very calm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The division of land and pasture is still being carried out in Monan and Liaodong outside the Guan, and the construction of yamen and chidao will have to wait at least ten years after the Apocalypse if the ruling system is to be fully established and the animal husbandry tax must be collected.
Due to the influence of the climate of the Xiaoice River, which makes Northeast Asia even colder, according to Jinyiwei, a certain brigade of the Janissaries marching into Northeast Asia and Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang soldiers are not very smooth, but fortunately, they are all tests of the natural environment, and they can only overcome them by themselves, and the imperial court cannot help them.
Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department was also a little resentful of the Ming Dynasty after being played by Zhu Youxiao once, and began to quarrel with Jiannu in Liaodong, but the envoy he sent to Jiannu was successfully intercepted by Jinyiwei in Liaodong.
Zhu Youxiao simply took advantage of this to publish the letter brought by the envoy in the Daming Daily, so that it could be widely distributed all over the world, and at the same time ordered the Shanxi Patrol to go to the Chahar Department to interrogate Lin Dan Khan according to the imperial history Ouyang Zheng.
Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department was depressed by the dishonesty of Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Ming Dynasty, and he was not in the mood to see Ouyang Zheng, the imperial historian of the Imperial Palace.
But what Lin Dan Khan didn't expect was that at the same time that he knew that Ouyang Zheng, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, was going to come to his Chahar Department, the Third Army of the Praetorian Guard suddenly came to Helin and had the potential to march into the Chahar Department.
At the same time, Cao Wenzhao, Sun Chuanting, and Zhou Yuji also Chen Bing Datong to Xuanhua area, which also seemed to have the meaning of fighting.
Every day, you can hear the news that the rangers report that these Ming troops are killing near the border with the Chahar Department and seem to be going to attack on a large scale, Lin Dan Khan is also frightened, he naturally does not know that this is called a military exercise in modern times, and the purpose is a military threat.
But he was indeed threatened, although he Lin Dan Khan had the ambition to unify Mongolia, he also knew that he had a few catties and a few taels, and he did not dare to frustrate the morale of the Ming army now.
Lin Danhan had to meet with Ouyang Zheng, the inspector of the imperial history, and he was eager to ask what the Ming Zhu Youxiao wanted to do.
But what Lin Danhan didn't expect was that when he saw Ouyang Zheng, he saw the majesty of the kingdom, and also experienced the pain of Huang Taiji seeing Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa.
Ouyang Zheng was short in stature and full of acne marks on his face, but he stood in front of Lin Dan Khan proudly, pointing at Lin Dan Khan and shouting: "By Your Majesty's will, I will ask King Shunping: Okay, you Lin Dan Khan, I named you the King of Shunping, just because you are still with me, but now your ass has done it on the side of Jiannu, what do you want to do!" The envoy you sent to build slaves has been corrected by me, and this matter should have never happened, and if you dare to make a rash move in the future, you are not welcome! ”
Ouyang Zheng turned around and left after scolding.
Lin Danhan was stunned for a long time, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, but at this time Ouyang Zheng had already gone away, and he wanted to chase it back with a thousand cuts, but he didn't dare, thinking that Daming was now on the border line, he could only endure the insult of being scolded by a little imperial history of Daming.
Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Department had to be honest, and the Emperor Taiji of Jiannu was also dormant for the time being.
Even in order to prevent Lin Dan Khan from unifying Mongolia, Zhu Youxiao secretly ordered Sun Chengzong, the general of the trilateral system, to sell some weapons, grain, tea, salt, iron ore and other materials to these tribes at low prices.
As for Guannai, there is still no news of Li Zicheng in Shaanxi, and there is no one in Zhang Xianzhong, but the riot happened once, but it became a riot launched by some stubborn squires, and some of the poor people went to the capital to make a living, some were busy planting the land of Huangzhuang, and some followed Huo Weihua's engineering team to run all over the country.
Shanxi's Jin merchants did not decline because of the eight Jin merchants, on the contrary, countless new Jin merchants sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, but they were all people secretly assigned by Zhu Youxiao, even if they were not, they were also registered in the household department, and if they wanted to do business outside the customs, they had to pay customs fees (disguised tariffs), and even salt and iron had to be collected, so the imperial court did not have to worry about these Jin merchants becoming transporters of forces outside the customs again.
What's more, Zhu Youxiao also set up a customs patrol department in Jiubian Border Town, and assigned a customs patrol to be in charge of collecting customs fees and additional taxes on various sensitive commodities (salt and iron, etc.), and also supervised and cracked down on smuggling for the imperial court.
The Liangjing Avenue has been built into Henan, and the demand for migrant workers has further increased, and although the number of landless displaced people has been greatly reduced, a new social phenomenon has also emerged -- a shortage of labor.
Ma Shiying's Fengyang's tax revenue has once again climbed to a new high, and there is even a Fengyang Business Daily, which reports on the business conditions of Fengyang and the entire Ming Dynasty, and also ranks the wealth of various merchants in the Ming Dynasty.
This can be regarded as the Forbes of the Ming Dynasty, but what is surprising is that among the richest businessmen in the world, in addition to three are Jin merchants, two are Hui merchants, one is a Fujian merchant, and five are Fengyang merchants.
Shandong's official gentry have come to an end, but in fact, there are not many official gentry to pay grain, because Yuan Keli implemented the official gentry to pay grain, and with the support of Zhu Youxiao, half of the gentry in Shandong were punished or sent to Saiwai and the west.
Under the coercive effect of Zhu Youxiao, the southwest of the Ming Dynasty unconsciously has countless talents, according to the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Huguang and other places, the new schools are almost more than the new fields.
The functions of the six ministries began to expand gradually, and the previous one, one scholar, and two servants could no longer meet the operation of the state apparatus, but it was also found that there was a shortage of officials, especially those who could be used.
Zhu Youxiao wondered whether it was necessary to establish a modern university on the basis of the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Royal Academy of Sciences, various technical training institutions, and the Guozijian and Hanlin Academy.
The purpose of this is to cultivate talents who can be used, and who can meet the needs of all aspects.
In the ninth year of the peaceful Apocalypse, everything was going smoothly, but there were also unquiet places, the pirates along the coasts of Liangguang and Fujian seemed to be more rampant than before, and there were more and more Western fleets gathered near Macao, and even pirates appeared along the coast of Zhejiang.
Although Zhu Youxiao's Ming court was a superpower, it could not dominate its maritime rights and interests, and it was not even as good as a small island country in Europe.
It is a tragedy that a country that could have colonized the whole world has become a landlocked country for various reasons.
And what Zhu Youxiao has to do is to tear a hole in the seemingly calm coastline, no matter how deep the chain of interests he has, if he is not bound by himself, he must break it!
Therefore, in this year, Zhu Youxiao's energy was also spent on the ocean, Jinyiwei began to shift the focus of his work from north to south, some instructors of the Royal Military Academy began to transfer to the Daming Naval Academy, and even the Ordnance Department and the Royal Academy of Engineering began to focus on the development of naval weapons and equipment.
