Zhang Hongbin suddenly found that it was no wonder that those emperors liked to unify China first and then slowly govern the government.

Only people like him who want to expand while governing know the hard work, especially the construction from scratch.

The emergence of a new thing is bound to trigger a chain reaction. If one link is not handled well, it will lead to new problems. A new problem will lead to a lot of new things, which in turn will trigger more chain reactions...... It's like a cycle of infinite multiplication, which is annoying.

Even if he has already announced the constitution and followed the constitutional monarchy system with Chinese characteristics, he must ask about many new policies, because the perspective of people in this era is too narrow, they cannot see the farther future, and only he can do it for the time being.

Zhu Cunyuan may be able to do the same, but she is working on more powerful gunpowder, at least how to make it mass-produced.

Today's gunpowder production is still too bad.

After dealing with things too much, there is no mind to look at the war, those 'poor and remote areas' may not be bad in the eyes of the Ming people, but they can no longer enter his eyes. The most important thing is that a new territory means a new responsibility, I didn't see the three provinces of Chongzhen and he was busy, he just laid down Yunnan and Burma, and there were many things to deal with, and he was busy with naval affairs in recent days, which made him feel too busy.

Foreign warfare? The people in the military department were interested, because their responsibility was this, but when it came to war supplies, post-war repair work, the people in Congress unanimously disagreed. In fact, they were also very busy during this time.

The opening of the first railway is indeed a good thing, but at the same time, it has also increased the flow of people from Chang'an to the capital several times. Many people, including the people of the Republic and the people from other places, want to see how this steel monster can go from Chang'an to Xianyang in five hours.

After experiencing it once, many businessmen immediately lit up their eyes and asked if the car could carry goods, and after learning that it could, they planned to rent a few carriages to load the goods.

It's just going to be helpless, today's carriages are used to take people have problems, where can they still carry goods? It's not a matter of adding a few more carriages, the power of the steam engine is small, it is not enough strength to drive so many carriages, or even if it is dragged, it is still turtle speed, so it is better not to use it.

The people need more railways, the Ministry of Railways needs more rails, the steel mills need more iron ore and coal, and workers. Mining sites need more explosives and more workers, and the Explosives Administration needs more raw materials......

It's an unsolvable cycle, but one thing is definitely missing, and that's the workers!

Yes, this is completely the rhythm of entering the industrial age, and now the Chinese People's Republic is short of people, too short of people!

Two days ago, Zheng Zhihu brought another batch of 1,000 black slaves, and even 3,000 Nanyang Han slaves, but there was still no way to fill the gap.

The advent of the railroad led to the development of the local economy, the contact between chambers of commerce became more frequent, and the information of goods came to various places with the transportation of the railway, and then a series of commercial activities. When business is good, the scale of production must be increased, and the scale of production must be increased, and the raw materials must be increased.

To put it simply, it means that the inevitability of the people to produce cash crops has been increased. In fact, the Northwest is indeed more suitable for growing cash crops than food.

So a new plan had to be made, and with three kinds of miscellaneous grains and better farming tools, the crops in Shaanxi and Shanxi would be enough to supply the entire empire, and this was still under the circumstances. Now that Sichuan and Yunnan have been defeated, there is more rain and more production in both places, and the output of these two places is fully sufficient for the country's grain expenses, not to mention the province of Myanmar.

On this basis, it doesn't matter if Shaanxi and Shanxi don't need to grow food. After discussion, the National Assembly decided to replan the agricultural composition of the two places. To put it bluntly, it is the reduction of the proportion of the grain part and the increase in the proportion of cash crops. The reason is simple, there is too much gap in the raw materials needed by the workshop.

Chongzhen was about to cry, when he knew that the Republic had built a railway first, he thought it was a faint move similar to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, but who knew that Zhang Hongbin actually developed a car that could run without a horse. And I heard that the speed is faster than that of a horse, and you only need to add water and coal, and you can go back and forth tirelessly day and night.

As an emperor, especially an emperor who has been in charge for several years and the situation is thriving everywhere, he naturally knows the value of railways.

However, I couldn't make it myself, so I could only stare dryly.

Then he heard that the number of workshops in various parts of the republic had increased considerably, and that the production rate had increased considerably. A large number of goods were not only sold in the republic, but also directly outside the republic, and even their Ming Dynasty was among the dumping.

What is dumping, is the sale of large quantities at a very low price. The quality and price of the homespun cloth directly exploded in front of the works of these workshops, and the homespun cloth of the Ming Dynasty was not at all marketable. It is not denied that these merchants also pay taxes, and they pay quite a few taxes. But in contrast, so many people lost the economic source of homespun cloth and then went bankrupt and became tenants, as a ruler, he could drink water to quench his thirst?

Do you want to ban it? Chongzhen was also suspicious, but Li Luo's intention was to take advantage of this opportunity to lead the Ming Dynasty to the road of industrialization. The puppet dynasty has begun to industrialize, and it is developing rapidly, and if the Ming Dynasty continues to guard the traditional agrarian economy and the small capital economy, the end can only be annexed by the puppet dynasty.

Annex! Chongzhen's eyelids jumped, in fact, what he was most afraid of and what he didn't want to hear were these two words.

However, what Li Luo said is very reasonable, and now Daming is still a small peasant economy, a small workshop economy, and it is completely incompatible with others. Even if there is a so-called steelmaking industry, it is still under the control of the state, and the scale is not large. Then again, there is no need to go into detail about what state-owned enterprises are.

But since ancient times, salt and iron have been monopolized by the state, which is necessary, otherwise anyone can get more weapons, doesn't it mean that rebellion is rebellion?

Speaking of the rebellion, Chongzhen seems to realize why the puppet dynasty allowed some private funds to enter the steel industry. That's because the puppet dynasty relied on powerful firearms to build the country, not cold weapons. Even if the enemy has 10,000 cold weapons and 100,000 people, fighting in front of powerful firearms is nothing more than scum. The puppet dynasty needed to control the manufacturing channels of powerful gunpowder, not steel.

"Sure enough, times are changing too fast, but my thinking is changing too slowly...... It is often others who have taken this step, and I suddenly look back and realize that I made a mistake in the beginning. Chongzhen was also full of emotion at the moment.

Don't talk about him, even Li Luo is almost like this. The limitations of the times limited their vision and inspiration. Sometimes I feel that Zhang Hongbin's ideas are not practical, but when someone else creates something new, the previous decision becomes a stroke of genius. On the contrary, they have not followed the footsteps of others, and the result has always been nondescript. The worst thing is that even if they follow it, it's useless, they can't create such a new thing. At least what the steam engine is, the principle of the operation of the train, no one knows them.

"Your Majesty, for today's plan, there are two ways for me to become strong...... Li Luo said in a low voice.

"It's okay to be straight!" Chongzhen really needs someone to solve his worries at this moment.

"The first one, promise a lot of profits, and ensure how the work in the puppet dynasty is, how it is in the Ming Dynasty, in order to attract the craftsmen of the puppet dynasty. At the very least, their technology is what we need; The second is to improve the treatment of craftsmen in our country and reward those who make new inventions and discoveries. Although this method is slow to work, it is better than doing nothing at all. "Li Luo gave his own Jianyì.

"That's all there is to do for now...... By the way, you said to go into industrialization, what is industrialization? Chongzhen asked.

Weichen doesn't know much about this, but he only knows that Zhang Hongbin has always emphasized comprehensive industrialization, and proposed that the speed of industrialization should continue to accelerate. Since then, workshops have popped up everywhere, hiring people everywhere, and it seems that technological innovations are also emerging. Li Luo could only say his opinion.

"Technological innovation...... Industrialization...... Yes, we also need to go into industrialization, not too late, otherwise we will be late! Chongzhen said anxiously.

"But there's a big problem, and that's that the big landlords won't allow that. Because as a result of great industrialization, their land is not cultivated by anyone, and these big landlords and gentry are actually the key components that maintain the interests of our Ming government. Li Luo said in embarrassment.

"How did the puppet dynasty deal with it?" Chongzhen knew that the puppet dynasty would definitely be able to deal with it, otherwise they would be afraid that it would be difficult.

"They build on the ruins, at least the ruins of power, and a qiē returns to the blank, so they are free to smear. But we are in the old country of the Ming Dynasty, and we have all kinds of traces left by our ancestors, and it is impossible to erase them. Li Luo replied.

Chongzhen was also speechless, he knew that Li Luo was right, Daming had too many traces left by his ancestors, too many systems, and too many habits.

These, I'm afraid they don't know, will bring trouble to their children and grandchildren hundreds of years later, right?

"We, we can't get into industrialization?" Chongzhen was unwilling.

"Yes, learn from the puppet dynasty to adopt a constitutional monarchy...... At the same time, find a way to turn the big landlords into capitalists! Li Luo's words took a big risk.

"This ...... How is this different from the original? "Chongzhen is really unhappy, he can finally make a decision, but he has to go back to the old way.

"The difference is that you have military power, and no one can ignore your existence. At the same time, Wechen has read that the "Constitution" of the puppet dynasty also stipulates the powers of many kings, and in terms of important matters, the parliament is not qualified to deal with them, otherwise there is a possibility of being dissolved. Therefore, at least in the control of the big aspects, it is still up to you to decide, as for those detailed administrative work, inconsequential small things, you can appropriately delegate it, anyway, whoever will handle it is the same.

In fact, after the implementation of the constitutional monarchy, Zhang Hongbin also has a lot of time to spend with his family, this is not a so-called football game, he is to make his son happy, but he didn't expect it to be huge now......" Li Luo replied after organizing the language.

"Family ......" Thinking of the family he hadn't been with for a long time, Chongzhen also felt a little.

Finally, he closed his eyes, leaned on the dragon chair and thought for a while, and said slowly: "Let people pass the order, from now on, Daming will begin to revise the constitution!" ”
