Chapter 979: Giant of the East (Finale)

Half a year later, in the name of arresting the "traitors" Fang La and Wang Hu, the forbidden army broke through the capital of the Uighurs in Xizhou, captured the king Vijab's Jin and the royal family, and forced the yellow-headed Uighurs to surrender. The Black Khanate was driven straight into www.biquge.info city by the army commander two months later. The Khan king Nasser Khan also had to surrender after the city was broken.

At this point, most of the imperial territory in Lu Chengqi's heart has been outlined. Not only did Mongolia and Xin Xinjiang become the territory of Dashun in later generations, but they were even much larger.

And just when winter was coming, Goryeo couldn't hold it first.

The peasant rebel army has already broken through Xijing and Tokyo, and has come to Kaijing. In the cold winter, the capital of Goryeo was destroyed, the king Wang Hui died, and the crown prince Wang Xun was desperately escorted out of Kaegyong by the ministers.

At this time, Dashun intervened strongly in Goryeo and put down the rebellion before the New Year. also released the news that he would welcome the return of Goryeo Prince Wang Xun to the throne.

However, Wang Xun never appeared, and Goryeo was "temporarily" incorporated into the territory of Dashun after that.

On the side of the Wa Kingdom, it is similar.

The struggle for power of the nobles gave the Dashun Navy the opportunity to take advantage of the weakness and quickly quell the "rebellion" under the banner of protecting the feudal state. And Emperor Shirakawa of the Wa Kingdom, also in this battle, contracted a vicious disease for some reason, and died suddenly. After the crown prince succeeded to the throne, for some reason, he contracted a vicious disease after a few months. According to the minister, there are evil spirits in the Tokyo Imperial Capital of the Wa Kingdom.

Sure enough, the emperor died one by one, and in the end, no one dared to be the emperor anymore.

After the "consultation" of the minister of the Japanese state, in the nineteenth year of Hongxiang, it was officially incorporated into Dashun and became the Dongying Prefecture of Dashun.

At this point, Dashun's territory is too large and needs to be digested and digested.

Dashun Hongxiang thirty-four years, the world is peaceful, and the four Yi come to the dynasty.

Thousands of sails are competing, hundreds of boats are competing for the current, and Dashun's commodities are shipped to all parts of the world, and the sea trade alone accounts for seventy-eight tenths of the tax revenue of the national treasury.

The Silk Road in the Western Regions was also opened again, and gold and spices from all over the world continued to pour into Dashun, and Dashun's porcelain, lacquerware, silk, tea and various novelties also spread to the West.

In the past fifteen years, the population of Dashun has been increasing.

Fortunately, Dashun's territory is now large enough, and there are a lot of fertile fields that have been reclaimed. Even the fertile black soil in the northeast has been used for half of it. If it weren't for the fact that the weather in the northeast was too cold for crops to grow, I am afraid that we would have to continue farming north.

Now Dashun's granary is in Jiangnan, and Jiangnan's economic potential has also been fully developed. Dashun's economic center of gravity gradually shifted southward, from the Yellow River basin to the Yangtze River basin.

The grassland has long been free of turmoil, and the herdsmen guard their own grasslands, and if there are new adults, they can apply to the state government for another piece of grassland. The grassland is so big, but the population is small, enough to develop for many years. The grasslands are becoming more and more inseparable from the imperial court, not only are the grain, money, daily necessities, etc. all from the Central Plains, but even they have forgotten their own language, forgot their own writing, and all of them only recognize Chinese characters and only speak Chinese. Perhaps in another 50 years, the herdsmen on the grassland will be "pure" Han people.

The Grand Canal was opened, and the floods were gone. Water conservancy has been built a lot, and the irrigation area has been extensive. The fields were wider, the grain was also sufficient, and in the past fifteen years, Dashun's economy and culture have flourished.

Under the Mongolian education system, many of the people of Dashun have been cleared of illiteracy, and almost everyone is literate and counts. There is no one in the new generation of children who cannot read or count.

The number of literate people has increased, and the imperial examination has become more and more difficult, but in the economically developed Dashun, there are opportunities everywhere, and scholars do not have to stick to the imperial examination. In Dashun's society, I don't know how many ways there are, which are faster and more than being an official to make money. Although being an official is still the first choice for scholars, more and more scholars realize that some people are indeed not suitable for becoming officials, so they give up this path, or engage in business, or work, or study doctrine......

"Dashun Law" has been continuously improved, and the concept of law-abiding has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Under the rule of the officials, the efficiency of work has also improved a lot. Once there is a problem in the place, the imperial court can quickly react and deal with it.

Lu Chengqi also gradually began to delegate power to the cabinet, just grasping the general direction.

In the past few years, he has devoted himself to splitting the Supervision Department into two and set up a military intelligence bureau to be responsible for collecting intelligence and cooperating with local counties and prefectures to solve cases. The Supervision Department is still the Supervision Department, which has the power to supervise hundreds of officials, but has no authority to take people. Under the deterrence of the Supervision Department, none of the officials dared to reach out.

In fact, smart officials don't have to be greedy for a long time, they go to run a trading house by themselves, they have the wind direction of the imperial court, and they can make a lot of money by doing anything. Why be greedy?

It is worth mentioning that in the 20th year of Hongxiang, collusion between officials and businessmen began in some places, and officials brazenly took shares in local commercial banks and took advantage of the change of power to seek personal gains. Lu Chengqi personally issued an order for the Supervision Department to take people and characterize the matter as corruption. Since then, no official has dared to do so.

Time flew by, and soon it was the summer of Hongxiang's thirty-fifth year.

On this day, Lu Chengqi convened the cabinet ministers and revealed for the first time that he wanted to take the Zen position.

After all, Lu Houxu is thirty years old, and he has assisted Lu Chengqi in handling government affairs over the years, and he already has his own concept of governance. Lu Chengqi is also fifty years old, if he is on the throne again, when will Lu Houxu be able to sit on the throne? It's better to take advantage of the current situation, retreat bravely, and become a emperor, so as to let Lu Houxu break through by himself. He should still have time to give Lu Houxu some advice.

The flowers in the greenhouse will never become fruitful.

Only by standing up to the wind and snow can it grow into a towering tree.

At the Zen throne ceremony, Lu Chengqi only said a few words to Lu Houxu: "My son must remember that the people are the foundation of the court, and if the people are hungry, they will rebel, which is the emperor's dereliction of duty." I don't want you to expand your territory, because there is no place to open up your territory, what you have to do is to be a king of success. It's easy to start a business, but it's hard to keep a business, and your burden is heavier than mine. Be kind to the people, so that everyone has a book to read, everyone has enough to eat, and everyone has a job to do, understand? ”

Lu Houxu choked up and said, "Erchen remember the teachings of his father!" ”

"Okay, they are all people who are going to be emperors, don't cry, let the courtiers laugh. Over the years, I have only taught you one thing with my heart, and that is to employ people. You are the emperor, and you don't have to do many things, but you have to learn to use people. The faint kings in history are not that they are too mediocre, but that they don't know people. The cabinet I have set up can minimize decision-making mistakes, and I hope my son will make good use of it! ”

Lu Houxu wiped his tears: "Erchen remembered ......"

Lu Chengqi did not have any nostalgia, and immediately after the Zen position, he cooperated with the queen mother's concubine and left Beijing.

The new emperor ascended the throne and changed to Yongkang the following year. Lu Houxu remembered Lu Chengqi's order, and did not give amnesty to the world, but just said: "Agricultural taxes will never be increased!" "It is enough to make the people of the world return to their hearts and support the new emperor.

A month later, in Songjiang Mansion, a novel name appeared - Oriental Giant Company.

It is said that the backer behind this company is Huangzhuang, which is controlled by Emperor Taishang.

Three years later, in a huge manor in Songjiang Mansion, Lu Chengqi was leisurely enjoying tea and humming a little song.

Zhou Zhiruo, who still had charm, peeled oranges for him on the side, and suddenly asked: "Husband, why did you set up this company and send people to Nanyang?" ”

Lu Chengqi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Can't you see it, how dangerous is the location of the Manchuka Strait (Strait of Malacca) in the South Seas?" I sent someone to take the lead, and I won't be left behind in the future! ”

Zhou Zhiruo "fluttered" and smiled: "I don't know you yet, the imperial court crusaded against Nanyang without a proper name." But in the name of the company, that's a lot more legitimate, right? ”

"It's still a smart lady!" Lu Chengqi said with a smile.

"Then I still don't know something, why does my husband have to send a fleet to some Americas?" Zhou Zhiruo flashed her big eyes and asked strangely, "Navigation is full of dangers, and the Americas are thousands of miles away......

Lu Chengqi smiled and said, "You still can't trust our Dashun ships?" Ten years ago, it was all an iron ship, and ten thousand materials (one material is equivalent to one ton in later generations) were trivial, and now it is also equipped with a steam engine, how can it be so easy to capsize! As for why I sent someone to America, it didn't take long for the lady to understand......"

Before the words fell, a person hurried in from outside: "Your Majesty, the dock has come to report, our ship sailing to the Americas is back!" ”

Lu Chengqi jumped up from the recliner and said eagerly: "Gao Hao, prepare the car, let's go to the dock, go quickly!" ”

Seeing Lu Chengqi jumping like this, Zhou Zhiruo complained: "You're so old, don't take it easy, do you think it's young?" ”

Lu Chengqi took these words as wind in his ears, and said mysteriously: "Doesn't the lady want to know what I sent someone to America to do?" Follow me and you'll know soon. ”

"Really?" Zhou Zhiruo was suspicious, followed Lu Chengqi into a steam locomotive, and drove towards the dock like a tractor in the future.

On the wharf, there are more than 20 large ships of 10,000 materials, and sailors, with the help of pulley cranes, are moving boxes of things.

The car drove into the dock, Lu Chengqi and Zhou Zhiruo got out of the car, Lu Chengqi couldn't wait, three steps and two steps, so excited that he almost fell.

"See the Emperor!"

The person who led the team was the artillery instructor of the year, Zou You.

He recognized Lu Chengqi and hurriedly saluted.

Seeing the arrival of the emperor, the sailors bowed down one by one, not daring to take a breath.

"Flat, quick, bring me something!" Lu Chengqi said impatiently.

"Yes! Quick, open the box! Zou You said that he is also in his fifties, but his long military career has made his body still very strong and full of qi.

The boxes were opened one by one, and Lu Chengqi pounced excitedly: "This is corn, this is sweet potato, this is potato, and pumpkin, peanuts, sunflowers, peppers, tomatoes, pineapples, custards, guavas, avocados, cashew nuts, cocoa...... Hey, it's tobacco! ”

Lu Chengqi was so excited, for three years, the things he thought about day and night were in front of him, and there were many that he couldn't name.

Seeing Lu Chengqi like this, Zhou Zhiruo was very puzzled, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, what is this?" Isn't it just a rare plant, even if it's the first time I've seen it, it's not like this, right? ”

Lu Chengqi picked up a sweet potato, and it happened that the sun had just shone on it, and said affectionately: "Zitong, you don't know, this thing looks inconspicuous, but in fact, the yield is frighteningly high, and it is extremely adaptable, whether it is dry land or poor land, it can have a high yield, and the yield per mu can even go to a thousand catties." With it, Dashun is no longer afraid of starving to death! ”

Zhou Zhiruo immediately understood: "Your Majesty, you ...... Are you thinking about Xu'er? ”

Lu Chengqi didn't deny it, but looked at the bed full of crops with satisfaction, and suddenly announced loudly: "From today onwards, half of the Huangzhuang fields will be set aside to plant these crops!" ”

Zhou Zhiruo nodded, with the promotion of the imperial village, it is even more useful than the promotion of the imperial court. In less than two years, these crops will be able to spread all over the country. If these crops are really so high-yielding, as Lu Chengqi said, then Dashun will definitely not rebel because of famine and natural disasters. Under the people's minds, the Dashun court will be passed on from generation to generation!

At this time, the sun rises high in the sky, and the sun shines on the earth......
