has broken up the big rebellious words and crumpled them to this extent, and Zhu Shuren's brightness can be regarded as thoroughly understood by his father-in-law.

Therefore, for the follow-up governance and expansion rhythm of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Changshu basically continued to trust 100% unconditionally, and was controlled by the dictatorship of his son-in-law, and the son-in-law felt that he should use whatever rhythm he wanted.

Even if Zhu Shuren's actions looked like a "map to open up the territory", Zhu Changshu would not doubt it.

What's more, Zhu Shuren is still very stable, he knows very well that unifying the world and expanding the territory has never been the goal, the purpose is to make the world stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

All the "rationality of tools for opening up territory" that is contrary to the "value rationality" of "fixing the world" is all about sacrificing the basics.

The dialogue between Mencius and King Hui of Liang 2,000 years ago has already explained everything: "The world is evil? Set for one. Who can be one? He who does not love murder can do it."

It can be seen that the desire of the people in the world and the quest of King Hui of Liang are pursuing "fixing the world" rather than "one day", and one day is just a means for Mencius to answer King Liang Hui and realize the determination of the world.

Because after reunification, the people no longer have to fight civil wars, and they can do less military service, less conscription, and less military rations.

The threat to the safety of people's lives will be reduced, and the degree of labor and material squeezing will be reduced, so the people expect the unification of the world and the hope that they would rather be peaceful dogs than people in troubled times.

If a ruler dominates the world, but continues to be reckless and unrestrained, he regards "one" as an end in itself, and forgets that "determination" is the end itself.

That is, to abandon the original and chase the end, it is the "instrumental rationality" that swallows up the "value rationality", and the means swallow the goal, and such a one-man thief is finally judged by history.

Zhu Shuren knows very well that after Manmeng is destroyed, everything else is not the urgent need of the Ming Dynasty, and he can completely recuperate now, even if he does not expand externally for ten or eight years.

As long as you don't waste the soldiers trained in these 20 years of tug-of-war and bloody battles, and don't let this generation of troops die of old age if they can't give full play to their residual heat, it's enough.

……

Since the winter of the tenth year of Longwu, after the Manchurian and Mongolian issues were resolved, the Ming Dynasty entered a full five-year period of peaceful recuperation.

From the eleventh to the fifteenth year of Longwu, the Ming Dynasty never launched any foreign wars, but only buried itself in farming, recuperated, restored the people's strength, and restored the production and population of the north.

During this period, it was only mixed with some gradual infrastructure restoration construction, which restored road projects and farmland water conservancy projects that had fallen into disrepair in various places. These investments are quick to see returns, not blind investment, as long as you do what you can, it is harmless.

The remote Mongolia and the northeast only need to deal with the stubborn remnants of the thieves who fled on a small scale, and they can't set off any storms.

Five years later, the remnants of Hauge and Eastern Mongolia were largely extinct.

In the past five years, the scale of agricultural reclamation in the Songnen Plain has basically increased steadily at a rate of more than 30% per year, and five years later, the population of the Northeast Plain has reached three times the original size, and the scale of farmland has reached five times that of the original.

When he took over the Jilin region from Hauge, there were about 600,000 Han Chinese and 200,000 Manchu and Mongolian people, and the Manchus were basically women and children, and there were no adult men in military service.

Five years later, the total population had reached 2 million, and the growth was mostly Han Chinese. The Manchu women were gradually assimilated by the Han concubines, and the culture gradually merged and identified. And women don't have the problem of shaving their heads and whips, as long as they change their hairstyle, they can be blended, which is very convenient.

The area under cultivation of Sakhalin rye and Hokkaido's cold-tolerant rice is also increasing year by year, and the fields that have not had time to be intensively cultivated can also be cultivated and burned to soybeans, and then soybeans can be planted widely and thinly harvested, and then find ways to grow other grains, even corn and potatoes, after the soybeans have gradually matured the land.

Anyway, there is a lot of open space in the Northeast, and it is not too wasteful to grow soybeans with low yields, and the soybeans grown in the Northeast are also quite famous in later generations.

Within five years, the soybean surplus in the Northeast was obvious, and the Ming Dynasty began to expand the soybean oil trade under the promotion of the imperial court. Soybean oil is trafficked in large quantities into the Kannai. The surplus corn in the good year can also be pressed for oil first.

After the people of the Ming Dynasty barely eat food and eat enough, they can occasionally have a little vegetable oil to supplement nutrition, although most people still can't eat meat, but there is oil to eat is also considered a well-off and prosperous world.

……

With the arduous development of the Northeast and the influx of surplus grain in the Northeast, the quality of life of the original Han people in the Guannai has been continuously improved, and the occupational structure of the people in the Guannai has also ushered in a wave of great impact.

In just five years, the population of Kannai has grown by millions because of the peaceful recuperation. Although at the moment, from a macro point of view, there are still few people and many fields, and we are not afraid of a surplus of peasants.

However, in view of the uneven local development of various regions, in some rich areas, especially in Jiangnan and Liangguang, which had not been affected by the war and massacre, the growth in recent years has still led to the crowding out of the population.

The only areas in the south of the Yangtze River that were hurt by the war were Nanjing, Zhenjiang, and Changzhou. Wuxi, Suzhou, Songjiang, and even the whole of Zhejiang, in the Ming and Qing wars of this time and space, have not fought a single day.

There were only small-scale internal rebellions in the Liangguang region and the Zhu Shuren sent troops to quell the rebellion, so the Pearl River Delta around Guangzhou was also well preserved.

Therefore, after the restoration of prosperity, the problem of "one population growth should be unemployed, and there is no land to plant" first appeared in these two places.

However, the preference for land reclamation and large-scale infrastructure investment in the Northeast has brought countless business opportunities. Therefore, the remaining growing population in Guangdong and Zhejiang had to be invested in the handicraft industry that provided supporting facilities for the reclamation of the northeast.

The reclamation of the Northeast is not as smooth sailing as the layman imagines, and it requires a very large investment.

First of all, in the past five years, because of the northward migration of the population, the people who went to the eastern part of the country could not tolerate the local cold, which gave rise to a huge demand for padded jackets, and it was no longer enough to rely on reed straw to stuff them into their clothes to keep warm.

Therefore, Daming had to find new cotton planting areas, and the cotton grown was no longer used for weaving cotton cloth, but directly used as a filling for cotton jackets.

The textile industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is developed, but cotton is not produced, so the Ming Dynasty was further developed and expanded by local officials in Shaanxi and Gansu to the Hexi Corridor to expand cotton planting near the Western Regions. The governor of Shandong also expanded cotton planting to a certain extent in Rizhao and other areas in later generations.

The cotton was continuously transported to Zhejiang with high industrial added value, and the local textile industry was used to organize the efficiency and labor intensity of the local textile industry to produce cotton jackets in batches, which were purchased by the government and handed over to Huang Degong, who had the authority of "General Jilin", and then distributed to the military troops.

In such an economic cycle, Huang Degong's ministry gradually explored a set of management methods similar to the later use of the XPCC to carry out the development and construction of border areas, and used centralized procurement to solve the problems that individual migrant households were unable to solve.

For example, the yamen of the cantonment army uniformly provided cotton jackets and winter heating fuel, in exchange for the cantonment army to pay 20% more grain harvest than in the customs after harvesting grain.

Later, Huang Degong's command naturally developed that even the houses of the residents of Tunken could be built by the government in a centralized manner, and a military household of Kentun connected the houses together, at least one wall was next to the neighbor's house, and then a flue could be dug together to burn the kang for heating.

The Northeast region could not be developed on a large scale before the Ming Dynasty, and in the final analysis, it still couldn't withstand the cold, and heating and keeping warm became a problem. Cotton jackets can be purchased in a unified manner, and now the "central heating" is carried out, and a row of houses share a flue to burn the kang, the heat utilization rate is much higher, and the workload of the people to cut wood and collect fuel is also greatly reduced.

In the end, it was even developed that the common people further increased the proportion of agricultural harvest in exchange for a unified supply of fuel from the government. Once the government supplies fuel in a unified manner, it will not be solved by cutting firewood, and can directly use the Northeast coal mines in Anshan and other places to dig coal and burn the kang for central heating.

As a result, the construction industry, mining industry, coal logging industry, and cotton jacket garment industry in the Ming Dynasty ...... These economic sectors, which were not developed at all under the natural economy, have flourished.

Although it could not enter the industrial age because of the lack of a steam engine, it at least developed to the peak of "large-scale handicraft industry", and in just a few years, the level of commodity economy has approached the peak of the Southern Song Dynasty.

I believe that as long as such a commodity economy continues to prosper, coupled with the natural growth of the Daming Academy of Sciences, sooner or later it will be able to spontaneously manufacture more advanced industrial power, and it doesn't matter whether it is Zhu Shuren himself during his lifetime.

Moreover, the development of the Northeast by the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the above-mentioned bulk and pillar industries has played a huge role in promoting and promoting, but also contributed to a lot of scattered new technologies and new things that have a silent impact on people's lives.

For example, because of the cold in the Northeast, in addition to fueling kang and wearing cotton jackets, there are also some other detailed living habits, such as dependence on high liquor.

In the second half of the 17th century, the technology of distilled spirits was no longer a problem, but whether it could further optimize the distillation efficiency, reduce the waste of raw materials in the production process, and increase the yield of liquor.

Because of the needs of the development of Northeast China, the distillation technology of liquor has been industrialized on a large scale, and the distillation and purification technology of Daming has grown up almost every few years.

Not only did it create more high-grade liquor for direct drinking, but it also promoted medical alcohol, iodine and other chemical materials that needed to be distilled and purified, which benefited Daming's chemical science.

It's just that because the war has not been over for a long time, although the people can eat enough, if a large amount of wheat and rice and other rations are used to make wine, there will still be a certain food shortage.

Fortunately, Daming has begun to plant rye in the northeast, and potatoes have been planted for many years in the vast semi-dry and rugged areas in the north and south of the river.

Rye, a food crop, has a worse starch conversion efficiency than wheat when eaten directly, but if it is used to make wine, the dietary fiber that is not easily absorbed by humans can also be saccharified and fermented into alcohols.

Therefore, using rye to make wine is definitely less waste than using wheat to make wine, and the utilization efficiency of raw materials is obviously cost-effective - of course, if it is the 21st century, rye is more expensive than wheat, and people generally have the disease of wealth and nobility, they like to eat high dietary fiber, that is, they want to make sugar and starch less absorbed, less fattened, then rye winemaking is more expensive than wheat.

However, in the 17th century, the Ming Dynasty obviously did not have the problem of "overnutrition, obesity, and the need to find dietary fiber that is not easy to absorb to eat", so rye brewing is simply too suitable.

In addition to rye, it is also very suitable for potato brewing, because although the yield of potatoes is much higher than that of rice barley, it is also much more difficult to store for a long time than rice barley, and is not suitable as a strategic reserve for a national surplus.

Zhu Shuren guided the people of the Ming Dynasty to plant potatoes extensively, which has a history of nearly 20 years, and before that, the rations were insufficient, and the potatoes were also used to eat, so the winemaking was strictly controlled. Now that the war is over, there is a surplus of grain, and it is possible to make wine to a certain extent, so of course priority should be given to encouraging potato brewing and stockpiling rice and wheat.

Under the obvious urgency of private production, the Daming Academy of Sciences certainly needed to get a bunch of "academicians" to find a way to perfect the technique of potato and rye winemaking.

In the context of such an era, if there are a few "Moutai academicians", it will definitely benefit the country and the people, and they should be rewarded and left in history.

It's a pity that relying entirely on self-developed technology will obviously take a lot of detours, the cycle is too long, and it is easy to waste "rebuilding wheels".

So after this matter flowed into Zhu Shuren's ears at that time, Zhu Shuren moved the idea of "taking it" again. As soon as he recalled, it seemed that the vodka of the Rakshasa country was made of rye and potatoes.

So he had the foresight to order Cao Bianjiao and Huang Degong on the nine sides to pay attention to the contact with the Mobei Rakshasa fur merchants and colonial caravans, find a way to find out the source of their high-grade wine, buy some samples, and preferably find technology.

In fact, vodka was first made by mistake on a small scale in a Moscow monastery about a hundred years ago. After more than half a century of development and promotion, in the 17th century, the Rakshasa people already had a mature rye and potato vodka process.

Zhu Shuren directly asked Huang Degong to copy the technology of the Rakshasa people, and then let the brewing academicians of the Daming Academy of Sciences combine Chinese and Western research and optimization, and in the fifteenth year of Longwu, Daming finally produced vodka brewing and distillation suitable for its own technical conditions, and then sold it in large quantities to the military reclamation area in the northeast.

It's just that the vodka brewed by the Han people themselves will definitely not be called that kind of mouthful name, but simply called "rye roast" and "sweet potato roast".

With a high supply of liquor that does not occupy the reserve of staple food at low cost, the development of the Northeast by the Ming Dynasty is basically barrier-free - anyway, the Rakshasa people used the N sets used in the development of Siberia in the same period of history, and the Zhu Shu people all learned the skills of Yi to control the Ming Dynasty, and the Eastern Han people of the Ming Dynasty were also matched, so wouldn't it be okay?

Even if there are physical differences between people and people, as long as the material conditions are good enough, the Han people can naturally do what the Rakshasa people can do.

PS: The above is already 4,000 words. Here is a little answer to the question of some book friends yesterday, why I think that "after national integration, it is a new reincarnation, and the new ruler will not be affected by the previous history of infighting".

You can imagine that in the 50s, the Mi Emperor puppeted the Nanbang, then the Mi Emperor would be worried that "there was a Li Chenggui in the ancient Nanbang who usurped the Goryeo Kingdom, will this history lead to our puppet Nan Bang, which will affect the way our Mi Di's own great ruler is generated"?

Obviously not, because Nanbang is just a small country with a boogini, the puppet side, how can Midi worry about the historical burden of an organ affecting the whole body?

This example is more extreme, but the principle is the same. When Qin Sui Yuan appeared as a conqueror and completed the fusion, Qin Sui Yuan's original core territory and culture played the role of the brain, and the conquered civilization played the role of other organs, and those organs were transplanted to the torso controlled by Qin Sui Yuan's three brains, and it was the brain that took the idea.

If a woman is married for the first time, and she transplants the heart and liver of a woman who is married to herself, then she is still married for the first time, and her loyalty and three views on marriage are still the three views of a first-married woman.

Therefore, Qin is not worried at all about whether the historical lessons of "Tian Clan Dai Qi" and "Three Families Divide Jin" will be transplanted, it is the history of the failure of some losers, which is what I call "After the integration of the nation, it is equivalent to reincarnation in the flesh".
