The research on the generator was in full swing, and Zhu Youzhen in the palace did not hesitate at all after learning the news.

It was immediately decided to increase investment in personnel and funds, and to develop the electrical industry in Daming as soon as possible, and it is not impossible to generate hydropower and wind power in the future.

....

Since the Ming Dynasty began to gradually abolish the world military system, the conscription system, and even the abolition of the guards in various places, the method of using the conscription system as the main source of soldiers has basically been realized.

I have to say.. Compared with the previous methods, the conscription system can actually allow the imperial army's army to master the better quality of soldiers, after all, in the conscription system...

When recruiting, it is often possible to screen the quality of the soldiers, and if there is a situation such as poor health or disability, it can be avoided at the root.

There is no such possibility in the world military system or the military household system.

Military households are military households, and it is almost difficult to get out of the military ranks, but the current recruitment system is different, fundamentally speaking, the existing generals including the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army, the Border Division, the Pingnan Army, and a series of officers and men, have almost broken away from the restrictions brought by military status.

They may, at any time, if they so wish, reinstate their citizenship after returning to their hometowns, without prejudice to the benefits to which they are entitled.

Recruiting soldiers takes on almost no other tasks other than training and fighting.

This means that they can have more combat effectiveness, after all, if a soldier focuses on planting.

It has less energy to spend on fighting.

And Zhu Youzhen gave quite good preferential treatment to all the officers and men of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army and the Pingnan Army, including the Garrison Division and the Shandong Naval Division.

The military salary is flexibly adjusted with the merits of the war, the time of joining the army, and even the different types of troops, but in general, even if it is a new recruit who has just joined the army, he can get at least two pieces of military salary of Daming Longyuan every month.

For the soldiers who recruit soldiers, this kind of income means that a person joins the army, and the military salary he receives can support the whole family.

There has been a significant improvement in remuneration.

Zhu Youzhen understands that the future era will be an era of maritime hegemony, and only by holding as much military force as possible in his hands can he obtain the most bargaining chips in such an era.

For this reason, Zhu Youzhen, who defies public opinion, has vigorously increased investment in the research and development and production of military equipment.

The Age of Discovery is coming, and the Dutch of the Golden Age, although they will be beaten by the British in a few decades, are still the dominant lords of the seas.

The pace of colonial expansion is moving faster and faster, step by step.

Taking down Annan, in Zhu Youzhen's opinion, is just the first step to control Nanyang, not to mention anything else... Zhu Youzhen still has a lot of plans for this rich land in the South Seas at his doorstep.

After all, for a long time, this place was able to provide a steady stream of food for the Ming Dynasty. Food is justice.

The China that will be silent for hundreds of years in history and finally have to face humiliation from all over the world will no longer exist.

Zhu Youzhen stood on the wall of the palace again, but this time Wang Chengen's gaze at Zhu Youzhen behind him was no longer as complicated as before.

The Ming Emperor, who has reached the age of twenty, will completely change the world.

It's just that after the excitement, we should also be calm, after all, the rise of a country is not only determined by the efforts of one aspect.

The economy is the lifeblood and the foundation of all development, and if there is no good economic and trade environment, it is bound to become the most important stubborn disease.

This is followed by the development of military, science and technology, culture and even diplomacy, but I have to say that Zhu Youzhen is indeed holding a good card in his hand at the moment.

These aspects are almost ready for the current Daming.

Zhu Youzhen decided.. After the end of the Battle of Annam, you can show your muscles in front of the world.... Sometimes it is too clumsy, which will make many people think that the Ming Dynasty is just a superficial prosperity, and they will not learn to fight decisively in the face of some interests.

Zhu Youzhen deeply agrees with such remarks.

Therefore, in Mongolia and Annam, as long as it is land and interests, the Ming Dynasty will be unceremonious, and every inch of land will be contested.

...

Chongzhen's three-year economic seminar.

Last year, Zhu Youzhen did not come, but the year before last, Zhu Youzhen came in person.

This year, Zhu Youzhen is here again.

Daming's economic seminar is somewhat similar to the parliaments of many countries, except that in this meeting, those who can come here are parents and officials above the county level of Daming, and they are also commonly known as the top leaders...

"Ministers... It's been a long time since I've seen many of you... Many prefects have become prefects, and many prefects have become Beijing officials... It seems that everyone is having a good time! ”

In the huge auditorium, Zhu Youzhen's words were loud.

The officials below were talking a lot with these words, and many of them already had a spring breeze on their faces.

Since the imperial court lifted the restrictions on local governments, many local officials have started business with great fanfare. Although there is almost no way to make money for his family in these businesses, this is his real political achievement after all!

You know, as a local parent official, when the people are poor and can't afford to eat... You go and talk about your sleeves and your clean wind, worthy of the Ming.

It is estimated that at the end of the year, those officials will be able to kick you off your position overnight.

"Back to Your Majesty... The ministers are all ministers who solve problems for His Majesty, contribute to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and work day and night for the well-being of the people... The so-called life, you can live it! ”

This face-to-face conversation has to be said to be quite exciting.

Zhu Youzhen was stunned for a moment, then looked at the source of the voice, and then became a little embarrassed, because the person who spoke didn't know him at all...

I had to say: "Aiqing said this. . . I am very relieved in my heart, I don't know why Aiqing is the official of the people's parents? ”

Meng Chang arched his hand and said in a loud voice: "Return to Your Majesty!" The minister is the prefect of Jinhua Mansion in Zhejiang! ”

"Jinhua Mansion? I know this place, and the ham that is offered to the palace every year is of the highest quality! This economic seminar... Do you have any suggestions? ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen's voice fell, Meng Chang continued: "Your Majesty.. The minister does have some humble opinions, and I would like to discuss them with my colleagues."

"Meng Aiqing, why don't you talk about it?"

“.. Jinhua, Zhejiang, is located in the middle of Zhejiang, not near the sea... Although there are many people who say that people in Zhejiang... How can there be a reason for officials to be barren, but what the minister wants to say is. Jinhua is indeed rich now, but it is far from being out of poverty, so the minister thought..."

Meng Chang once again set his eyes on Zhu Youzhen.
