Chapter 559: Treason

"Your Majesty once said that the reason why the dynasty of the world ended in three hundred is because in the last years, the population of the dynasty will develop to a limit, but there is not so much land to feed the huge population, so more and more people cannot eat enough and can only rebel.

And every vigorous rebellion is a process of breaking the old order, eliminating the old magnates, and at the same time reducing the population and restoring the land.

I also know that His Majesty is looking at the Americas, Australia, and now the existence of the Wu Dynasty in Western Europe is to delay the pressure of the population, so the minister is puzzled......

The yield per mu of hybrid rice is more than double that of the usual, and such a high grain yield will inevitably feed more people, coupled with the high-yield crops brought back by the valley marquis, the population of the Ming Dynasty is estimated to grow rapidly in the next four or five decades, and even double, triple, and even double.

At that time, the population will increase suddenly, and even if the production of food increases, the supply will still exceed the demand, so there will still be people who will go hungry until they can't afford to feed themselves and then embark on the road of rebellion. ”

Zhu Houwei smiled indifferently, Yang Yiqing's question was very forward-looking, the increase in grain production and the production of high-yield crops are directly proportional to population growth, more grain can feed more people, less grain will naturally raise less, then in fact, there is no essential solution to the problem.

How to solve the problem in essence? In Zhu Houwei's view, at least with the strength of Daming now, he does not have it.

Why was China able to feed more than one billion people in later generations, and the people could still have enough food and clothing?

This is because of the enormous industrial capacity, which itself is the essential solution to the surplus of manpower, and at the same time, it is equally important to ensure sufficient arable land.

Just like today's Ming Dynasty, its total cultivated land area is only seven or eight billion mu, what about future generations? In addition, the increase in grain production is also basic, and the industrial system of later generations is extremely perfect and developed, and anything can be formed on a large scale, and so on.

But now it is definitely impossible for the Ming Dynasty to achieve it, even if Zhu Houwei exhausts his life's strength, it is impossible to say that in the Jiajing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will completely complete the complete transformation from agriculture to industry!

Under the premise that there is no good way, Zhu Houwei can only solve the land annexation, and then delay the population pressure through overseas colonization, to put it bluntly, to buy time.

Time is enough, for example, in a hundred years, who said that the Ming Dynasty will not be able to transform from an agricultural society to an industrial system.

But he couldn't use this answer to answer Yang Yiqing's question, so he could only smile a little helplessly: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, I have my own opinions, Yang Aiqing will wait and see."

Yang Yiqing smiled and stepped back.

After leaving Agricultural University, Zhu Houwei went directly back to the capital, he didn't play any nonsense micro-service private visits, and he was not so boring as the Ming Emperor.

Three days later, the Great Dynasty!

In the twelfth year of his accession to the throne, Zhu Houwei, who had become more and more emperorly, sat on the throne and looked at the three people kneeling in the main hall.

Turpan sweats profusely!

The loyal and obedient king of the rebel Ming worships the teeth!

Funing Hou Zhuqi!

"Your Majesty, this is the golden seal of the Loyal King." Ren Xing carefully brought a wooden box to the emperor.

"Da Ming no longer has the king of loyalty, what else do you want Wang Yin to do? Melt! ”

"The slave obeys."

"Worship the teeth!"

Baiya raised his head a little dazedly, since Wang Shouren led the army to Jiaohe City, defeated Tulupan, and he was also captured alive, he was escorted to the capital of Daming, this pass is more than two years.

Although he has not suffered much for more than two years, he can have a good life in the cold and gloomy cell, but survival is instinct, and he is naturally unwilling to die, so he has been living hard, and today he was taken to the main hall, and he also knew that the last moment to decide his fate had come.

"The sinner bows his teeth and knocks on my emperor!" Bai Ya grabbed the ground with his head, and the sound of the mountain knocked red, and in a blink of an eye, his forehead was red.

"Zhang Xuan."

"The minister is here." Zhang Xuan is out of the ranks.

If Fan and Jian are in the emperor's heart, this promotion is like riding a rocket, then Zhang Xuan is definitely not allowed to give a cent!

After coming out of the Hanlin Academy, it didn't take long for him to become the Guozi Eunuch Wine, and then he entered the procuratorate and became the deputy department of the General Office, then became the main hall, and then became the deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Patrol Department, and then became the main director of the Political and Legal Department of the court, and was directly promoted to the president of the Supreme Court at the beginning of this year! Become the top of the Ming pyramid and one of the best ministers!

The original president of the Supreme Court, Jin Gui, was transferred to the head of the Patrol and Arrest Department, and the Manchu Dynasty wondered if Jin Gui made way for Zhang Zhang's promotion......

If nothing else, Zhang Zhang, who is now one of the members of the parliament, will become the vice speaker in a short time!

As for the Speaker...... Emperor Jiajing and Yang Yiqing have a tacit understanding for ten years, Yang Yiqing does not move his seat, no one thinks!

"How was Baiya's case decided?" Zhu Houwei asked, now he basically doesn't ask about the judiciary, that is to say, he has completely given the judicial power to the officials!

Of course, although the judicial power has been delegated, it does not mean that Zhu Houwei can't ask questions, on the first page of the judicial charter of the Ming Dynasty, a sentence is written very clearly!

The will of the Ming Emperor is above justice!

In other words, even if the court finally sentences the death penalty, the emperor has the right to pardon!

In the same way, even if there is no evidence, the emperor wants you to die, you will not live tomorrow!

This is the emperor's prerogative, and there is no need to talk about anything reasonable or unreasonable in the feudal era, but Zhu Houwei generally does not interfere, just like the assassination of the Marquis of Funing!

The three people kneeling in the hall now have important identities, but they are still certified by the procuratorate and then prosecuted, and finally arrived at the court for trial, and Zhu Houwei did not interfere throughout the whole process.

The emperor asked, and as the dean who personally tried the three cases, Zhang Xuan immediately replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the King of Zhongshun has received the grace of the country in the first lineage, and led Ha Miwei to control the Western Regions, which is the barrier of the Western Domain.

Zhu Houwei nodded and said, "Baiya, do you have any objections to this verdict?"

Bai Ya laughed miserably: "If you have objections, don't you die?"

Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "If you can present strong evidence to prove your innocence, not only do you not have to die, but I can even dissolve the seal of loyalty to the king, so that you can continue to be the king of loyalty."

Bai Ya He sneered: "The criminal minister is in Hami, the Hami Kingdom has already existed in name only, the soldiers under his command are less than two thousand, the Ming Guanxi Wei is erosive, Hami has long been difficult to support alone, the Tulu Pan soldiers are strong and strong, how can Hami resist, if the criminal minister does not surrender, will he not be able to wait for death!"

"It's ridiculous!" Zhang Xuan said angrily: "First, when you took the initiative to defect to Tulupan, Hami was not attacked, and second, even if you feel that you can't protect yourself, you can retreat to Jiayu Pass, why do you need to commit treason and defect to Tulupan!"
