Chapter 511: Finale

Previous Chapter

Looking at the Ming officials who were kneeling on the ground and begging to keep him, Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, laughed loudly and said: "It's not that I blame you, how can there be an eternal emperor in this world, and I am also old... It's good to abdicate and be the emperor, why don't you let me go!? ”

"Huh? Is it difficult, do you want me to be tired? ”

"Xu Guangqi.. You are the oldest, and you are also the old man in the court... Be an example, get up quickly, what kind of system will you become.."

On this day, the expressions of the officials were different.

Zhu Youzhen officially issued an edict of abdication, which was passed on to Zhu Cihong.

The Ming Dynasty officially entered a new era in which Zhu Cihong ascended the throne as the emperor, while Zhu Youzhen retreated to the second line and became the emperor of Xiaoyao, concentrating on the study of new science and technology all day long.

And in the process, the Ming Imperial Library was built on a large scale.

The original scale will be expanded again and again.

The Ming Imperial Library, which has a collection of 100 million books, is officially open to all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youzhen regards cross-era books as a national secret.

....

In the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen worked hard, rectified the rule of officials, checked Tianmu, expelled the Tartars, recovered Liaodong, occupied Mongolia, controlled Fusang, laid down Nanyang, and regained control of Dongfan.

Yuan Chonghuan, Li Zicheng, and Zheng Zhilong staged one after another, but they did not affect the development of the Ming Dynasty in the slightest.

Rejuvenating the army with science and technology, the Great Tomorrow Dragon Army has expanded to 100,000, the Heavenly Tiger Army has reached 3 million, and the total number of Heavenly Leopard Army corps scattered around the world has exceeded 10 million!

All kinds of new rifles, bolts, pneumatic and other weapons were invented and installed.

Breech-loading artillery, steam-powered ironclad ships, new machine guns and other derived improvements or new models have all entered the army, contributing to the steady expansion of the Ming Dynasty overseas.

The General Administration of Royal Ordnance has also been completely renamed the Ming Military Industrial Group, and it is responsible for providing weapons to many overseas countries in the elimination plan, and a huge Ming Empire has appeared in the chaotic world!

The new study rejuvenated the country, Zhu Youzhen abolished the old imperial examination, opened a new type of Enke, and later changed it to the Ming college entrance examination.

Physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics and other studies went hand in hand, the higher education system of graduate schools was established, and various professional research institutes and a large number of affiliated research institutes were flooded all over the Ming Dynasty.

In terms of the taxation system, Zhu Youzhen took the initiative to abolish harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, did not levy any taxes due to the war, established the Royal Taxation Bureau, and coordinated key taxes such as commerce, salt, tobacco, and tea throughout the country.

In the reform of agricultural taxes, it has become a reality for the officials and gentry to pay grain in one piece.

High-yield crops such as corn and sweet potatoes have been widely promoted and planted, and hybrid rice and other technologies have also been skillfully mastered by the Ming Dynasty, and their shadows can be seen in almost every inch of land in the Ming Dynasty, and all the people of the Ming Dynasty laughed to get rid of the famine that could never be seen again.

The railway gallops in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the cement highway runs through the entire Ming Dynasty, and the asphalt is used as the main material for paving in the key roads, and the loan repair road and the fee repayment system are determined.

The construction of resettlement areas is in full swing.

From the very beginning to resist the influence of the weather, to let every inch of the Ming Dynasty truly belong to the Ming Dynasty, so that the territory does not just stay on the map.

The Ming Dynasty immigrated more than 100 million people, and the huge empire has always had these Ming people as a key element in its operation, and the development of the Ming Dynasty will eventually benefit every common people.

As for diplomacy ..

Among the Ministry of Rites, officials of all sizes are calculating how much income the once every decade will bring to the Ministry of Rites, after all, every time they come, almost the entire Ministry of Rites can receive enough Daming Dragon Yuan to maintain the operation of the Ministry of Rites for twenty years.

Where the Daming dragon flag flutters, you can see the admiring eyes of the countries of the world after that.

....

In the familiar teahouse again, Zhu Youzhen's expression was very relaxed, and there was no Wang Chengen's nagging from time to time, because he had been kicked by Zhu Youzhen to assist Zhu Cihong for a few years.

Time seems to have been pressed in slow motion at this moment.

Zhu Youzhen likes to listen to commentaries and listen to stories, and after many literary masterpieces in later generations have been judged by Zhu Youzhen, they will be suitable for public printing in this era.

There was also a freshly bought newspaper on the table.

Zhu Youzhen picked it up slowly, only to see that it was written: The Antarctic icebreaker of the Ming Empire successfully arrived at the South Pole and discovered the last continent in the world.

....

Zhu Cihong sat in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and Wang Chengen was still standing aside.

The young Zhu Cihong crouched on the dragon case, and said to Wang Chengen in disbelief: "Father... Do you have to deal with so much state affairs every day? ”

Wang Chengen nodded with a smile and said, "Of course.. The Emperor has to deal with more than 200 letters every day.."

Zhu Cihong's eyes were full of shock.

couldn't help but mutter: "I'm afraid it's because of this reason that my father is in a hurry to be his emperor..." Alas! Say nothing more.. I'm back to work! ”

Many famous tourist attractions that I haven't been to in my previous life.

Zhu Youzhen was sitting on the train of the royal special train, playing one by one.

Make up for his regret that he didn't come out in government affairs because he was tired all day and had a good look at the great rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty.

The train emitted black smoke from time to time, but it shuttled between the green mountains and green waters, but Zhu Youzhen's thoughts drifted far, far away, and he reigned for 50 years.

Abundance, tranquility, prosperity and strength.

It has become synonymous with the Ming Dynasty, and everyone in such a huge empire cannot forget that there was an emperor who was only a teenager when he ascended the throne, and led them out of the predicament step by step.

Zhu Youzhen was transferred from the royal special train to an ordinary car.

Quietly listen to the grandfather and grandson on the side tell the story...

The old man and his granddaughter spoke: "At the time of my grandfather, it was a very luxurious thing for the people of the Ming Dynasty to have a full stomach."

"Later, after His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne."

"It's the hard work that has allowed us to live a good life now."

The young granddaughter was obviously a little puzzled, her big eyes were purring, and she couldn't help but say in confusion: "But why doesn't His Majesty the Emperor continue to be the emperor?"

At this time, Zhu Youzhen came over.

With a smile on his face, he said: "Maybe it's because being an emperor is also a chore... His Majesty the Emperor is almost the same age as your grandfather now."

"He's tired.."

The country is strong and prosperous, and it has completely moved towards the industrialized society that Zhu Youzhen once dreamed of, and the vast farms are constantly running with the latest tractors powered by internal combustion engines.

Zhu Youzhen looked out of the car window and suddenly felt.

To be able to die in such a Ming Dynasty, for him, a traverser... What a good thing...

At this point, the whole book is finished.

There are too many things I want to finish with this novel, but there is no book in this world that will not end, there will be no feast that will not end, and the story should have an ending here.

Just like back then... At dusk, Zhu Youzhen, who was determined to revitalize the Ming Dynasty, was the same.

Everyone, it should be Zhu Youzhen... Everyone wants to change a lot, and maybe there will be many factors that affect this change, but we must keep moving forward!

Thank you to all the readers, and thank you all for your continued support and companionship.

Thousands of miles away, respectfully..
