Zhu Youzhen's basic national policy for governing the Ming Dynasty is to promote commercial development, further open up the Ming market, and even do not hesitate to ban the road guidance system that exists in name only.

At the same time, Zhu Youzhen also continued to reduce the exploitation and oppression of the agricultural economy by the gentry and landlord strata, and in any case, agriculture has always been the foundation of all production.

Although the Ming Dynasty will develop into an industrialized country in the future, it is Zhu Youzhen's lifelong goal set by the emperor.

But Zhu Youzhen never dared to ignore his attention to agricultural production.

In today's Ming Dynasty, although Zhu Youzhen has transferred the cost of running the imperial court and the cost of supporting the royal family and the army to business.

However, most of the gentry class was still supported by the vast peasant class, and Zhu Youzhen reduced the peasants' expenditures to the imperial court, but he also had to prevent the gentry from levying the peasants and exploiting them more heavily.

Fan Jingwen, the first assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the household department, is an official from the north, and now he has no land in the south, so he naturally does not oppose the policy of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen to take care of the peasants, and even directly praises His Majesty for the sake of the people, which is a rare Ming monarch through the ages.

However, Liu Wanchun, the left attendant of the household department, and Qi Biaojia, the right attendant of the household department, were both gentry and large landowners in the south of the Yangtze River, and they had no opinion on encouraging commerce and reducing the apportionment of taxes to the peasants, but they could not help but smile bitterly at His Majesty's policy of encouraging the landlords to reduce rents and interest rates.

However, Liu Wanchun, the left attendant of the household department, did not object to Zhu Youzhen, and still said yes, he knew that he had no reason to refute His Majesty, and he also knew that His Majesty was really benefiting the country and the people by doing so.

Qi Biaojia didn't say anything, but she also secretly thought to herself that maybe in the future, the vast number of gentry can only continue to expand the scale of commerce in order to continue to ensure more wealth.

"Qi Biaojia, the right attendant of the household department, you are responsible for the expenses of the household department, and now you should know that the household department has more than 90 million silver dollars in the central bank of the Ming Dynasty, plus next year's taxes, it will be a lot of income;

You have to draw up an expenditure plan in advance, and then Liu Wanchun, the left attendant of the household department, will give you the approximate tax income for next year, and you have to comprehensively count the national treasury revenue for next year, determine how much financial expenditure the Ming Dynasty occupies in the military, agriculture, commerce, and teaching, and how much money is expected to be invested in various departments, and at the same time, let each department determine next year's plan according to your plan;

I will give you some suggestions here, you go back and discuss it with the household officials again, and then hand it over to the first assistant Fan Ge Lao for deliberation, and then hand over the final plan to me, and I will personally approve it;

Next year can be said to be a constructive year, and the two major wars of this year have been fought from April to July, and the focus of the entire imperial court has been on the military;

But there should be no war next year, the Manchu Qing lost nearly 20,000 Manchurian cavalry, coupled with the turmoil in the north, the uprisings continued, and the people's livelihood was not restored, the Qing court had to wait until next year to conquer the south, and accumulate enough grain and grass;

Therefore, next year should be war-free, and I Daming just took this opportunity to do a good job in construction.

First of all, in line with agriculture, rivers and water conservancy in many areas need to be renovated.

secondly, galloping roads everywhere in the world need to be widened and repaired;

There is also the improvement of weapons and new weapons and equipment of the Guards and the Guards Army, as well as the stockpiling of military rations;

In addition, after the switch again, the construction of various port terminals and the manufacture of ships have to be put on the agenda;

Another is that running a school is also the top priority, I hope that as soon as possible, every child of the Ming people can afford to go to school, so that every Ming people can know how to read.

When Zhu Youzhen said this, Qi Biaojia, the right attendant of the household department, was a little shocked, but at the same time, he also felt that the burden on his body seemed to be much heavier, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh that His Majesty seemed to be going to do a great cause, and he wanted to be the first emperor of the ages, otherwise why did he first put forward the ideal of permanently taxing agriculture in the world, and now he put forward the ideal of making every Ming people afford to go to school.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely arrange everything Your Majesty has ordered", Qi Biaojia got up and waved at Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen shook his head, and then looked at Han Shoujing, Yang Mingshen and Wang Jiaqin:

"You are in charge of the central bank of the Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to controlling the flow of money in the whole world, whether the trading in the market is chaotic, whether the court can make money, and whether the entire Ming Dynasty will collapse because of the soaring prices, it is all up to you;

There is no precedent for you, and I can't help you much, but you can only control it at all times, and the balance between lending and saving must be well controlled;

Gold and silver reserves should be sufficient, I will order the East Factory to set up an army, specifically responsible for gold collection, increase the central bank's gold reserves, as long as the central bank has enough gold, can print enough money, and even one day can directly let the people use the treasure money, so that the people all over the world can use the treasure banknotes, you think, if you do business with foreigners, they bring a bunch of goods, take away a pile of paper banknotes; And my Ming merchant went out to bring a bunch of goods, but what he brought back was gold, silver and precious stones, who is more cost-effective. ”

Zhu Youzhen made such an analogy, and the officials present all laughed, and instantly understood the purpose of His Majesty's purpose in opening a bank and changing the money law in the past.

……

Zhu Youzhen can imagine that the most important thing next year will be economic transformation and industrial transformation.

The entire Ming Dynasty, especially the Jiangnan region, is already in the embryonic stage of capitalism, and it is only one step away from entering the capitalist society, and it is impossible for Zhu Youzhen not to seize this opportunity to use his power as the ruler of the Ming Dynasty to let the Ming Dynasty directly enter this era.

Like the reform of serfdom carried out by Peter the Great during the Tsarist period and the newly established capital empire of Napoleon in France.

Zhu Youzhen also hopes that he can make his Ming Dynasty a capital empire, and as a Han emperor, he is naturally different from the Manchu emperor.

From a certain point of view, the Manchu emperor could not regard the Chinese country and nation as his own industry, he could only be an occupier and user, and had to always guard against the rise of Han power, threatening his rule, and had to carry out a policy of fooling the people and imprisoning thoughts.

But Zhu Youzhen, as the emperor of the Han people, does not have to worry about the rise of the Han forces, because he himself is the representative of the Han forces, so even if he is not a traverser, he will actively change the system of the Ming Dynasty to catch up with the pace of the world after realizing that the Western forces may surpass the Ming Dynasty, and will not worry about the rise of any Han forces in China.

Just like the reform and opening up that began in China at the end of the 70s of the 20th century, although it is also autocratic, because it is the Han forces that are in power, the central authorities are fully capable of suppressing the stubborn and conservative and promoting a country that has lagged behind for a hundred years to catch up and surpass in just 30 years.

In the late Qing Dynasty, it was different, although there was the Westernization Movement and the Reform Movement, but it was only the efforts of the local Han bureaucracy and the Han intellectuals of the landlord class, and naturally there was no way to defeat the stubborn, old-fashioned and powerful central Manchu aristocracy.

What's more, Zhu Youzhen is still a traverser, so he is naturally more active in making changes to Daming.

Today's explosion is more
