The Ming is merciful.

Absolutely merciful, there can be no doubt about that.

But when Da Ming needs something, then you are breathing, and it is also wrong.

This point has gradually become a consensus among the new generation of royal children.

Today's Daming extended from the steam engine to trains and railways, so the original steel production of Daming became in short supply. And trains and railways are undoubtedly far more advantageous than the current disadvantages, so Daming needs more steel to supply the development of this business.

So, problems arise and so does demand.

Therefore, the Japanese state is guilty, and the Japanese workers are more urgently needed.

The answer to this question is that the Ming Dynasty needs to use political and military force to promote the construction of trains and railways.

Then war becomes inevitable.

The logic holds up, and the reasons are sufficient to refute it.

As for what happened to the Japanese Congress, and what would happen to the enemy under the iron hooves and artillery of the Southern Expeditionary Army, this was not within the scope of consideration of the new generation of rulers of the Ming Dynasty.

But among the young players in power, it is necessary to ensure that there are dissenting people who speak out against it.

Zhu Gaochi perfectly played such a role.

At a time when the third generation of the royal family became eager for military exploits, he acted as the most sober opponent.

"The imperial court is now vigorously renovating the Yellow River, costing tens of millions. The other two new cement roads proposed by Xie Jin have also begun to prepare, which are also quite costly.

There is also the northern expedition to the south that has been done in the past few years, and now the innovation in the DPRK and China, there is a lot of money and food needed.

It's just that the imperial court's income has increased a lot in recent years, but ...... At this time, the imperial court may be difficult to support Cao Guogong's military strategy. ”

Zhu Gaochi's tone was very calm, and he pointed out several major expenses and difficulties in the current imperial court.

The military strategy of the Wa State is to be able to provide a steady stream of Wa laborers for the Ming Dynasty, as well as other gold and silver mines in the territory of the Wa State according to the report of the Zhen Wa army.

But these can only be obtained after occupying the entire territory of the Wa Kingdom. Before that, the imperial court still had to pay unpredictable money and food to supply the army of Zhenwei at the front.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Xiao Han, who was shining today, and motioned to the other party to continue to break the game.

Zhu Shangbing also lived up to expectations, and looked at Xiaopang with a calm expression: "Brother Chi, now that the imperial court has implemented the law of military merit, the soldiers are like fire in their desire to fight. With the Zhenwei army in front, our army does not have to worry about the unclear situation on the front line.

As for the consumption of grain and grass, this year's Northern Expedition is almost over. The warehouses on the Huai'an side of the province also transported all the grain and grass sent back from Jiaozhi Road last year. This year's summer and autumn grains will be delivered back in a short time.

At that time, the officers and men of our DPRK will be high-spirited, the soldiers will be strong and strong, there will be no shortage of food and grass, and there will be a general on the front line who knows the local area. ”

Is this Xiao Han of the second uncle's family?

Zhu Gaochi blinked his eyes, a little unconvinced, Zhu Shangbing, who was standing tall in front of him at the moment, was still not the Bing brother he knew in the past.

Zhu Shangbing had a surging smile between the corners of his mouth: "This time it's too hasty." In my opinion, the imperial court could first find out the faults and problems of the Lee dynasty, first go through the Lee dynasty, and spend three or four years of effort to smooth out the place.

Then, with Lee's Korea as a springboard, our DPRK can mobilize the forces of Shandong Province, Hebei Province, Beiping Prefecture, and Liaodong Prefecture to continuously cross the sea and pass through the Wa Kingdom. In this way, it can be regarded as the safest way. ”

Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth, he couldn't express in words how shocked his mood was now.

Brother Bing'er not only thought of how to solve the problem of passing through the Japanese country at the moment, but even thought of a longer and more secure way.

...... the ancestral grave of the second uncle's family?

Bah!

That's also my ancestral grave!

Zhu Gaochi was surprised and puzzled.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand with a chuckle: "After passing through the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, I will hand it over to Brother Bing'er." Write a recital, send it to Wenyuan Pavilion, and hand it over to Wei Guogong and Ren Pavilion for deliberation. ”

has always only watched Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi discuss the major affairs of the country and the society, and continue to do the same thing, Zhu Shangbing can only be the green leaf of the foil.

Now, the Ming Dynasty has officially and comprehensively handled the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, and it has been handed over to his own hands.

This undoubtedly made Zhu Shangbing's heart happy.

He even arched his hand and said, "Then I'll go now?" ”

Zhu Yunxi's eyes narrowed, with an encouraging smile on his face: "Go, remember to write better, don't let Ren Hengtai lose your music." ”

"Yes, yes."

With the consent, Zhu Shangbing's face was full of smiles, and he couldn't hide his joy, and he disappeared in front of everyone's eyes as soon as he smoked, and he didn't know where he was going to write the recital.

Zhu Gaochi watched Xiao Han leave with joy a little helplessly, sighed silently, and he glanced at Zhang Ergong, the new left waiter of the Ministry of Works.

There was no need to speak, Zhang Ergong arched his hand very interestingly: "Your Highness, the verification of the train is about to end today, Rong Chen took someone over to check it." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Yunxi nodded, and looked at the little fat beside him with a tense face.

Xiaopang's thoughts about the country and the people have all been hung on his face.

Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, just turned around with his hands behind his back, and watched Zhang Ergong lead people to the railway in front of him.

Zhu Gaochi clasped his hands together and walked to the edge of the stands with his steps.

"Let's say, what else is there that our Yan Shizi of the Ming Dynasty can't figure out."

Zhu Yunxi didn't turn around, but just said quietly.

Zhu Gaochi, who was standing beside him, rolled his eyes and snorted twice: "I just think that it is not a bad thing to go through the Imperial Kingdom, and even the imperial court is very beneficial." ”

"But you still think it's inappropriate to go through the Wa Kingdom in an all-round way at this time."

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: "The military, the government and the people, the people have a share." Now that the imperial court is implementing new policies, domestic affairs are practiced, involving people's livelihood, and ninety percent of the imperial court's energy is focused on the country. At this time, if the military strategy is opened again, can the imperial court really control it all? ”

The army of Zhenwei wants to fully pass through the Japanese country, and Yingtian's side must increase its troops.

And it can't just be a few thousand.

There was a need for enough soldiers and horses on the military front, and more officers and soldiers were needed in the post-war repression.

The imperial court had to send another twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses over to make everyone feel at ease.

But once so many soldiers and horses were mobilized for reinforcements, the imperial court had to work back and forth for a while, involving several yamen. Now that the new policy is like a tiger, can the imperial court have how much energy to do everything to increase the troops?

This is a big question mark in Zhu Gaochi's heart.

Zhu Yunxi finally turned his head: "The Northern Expedition of the Nine Sides, but it will take a lot of trouble for the imperial court?" Can the army of the southern expedition bother the imperial court? ”

Zhu Gaochi sighed and said helplessly: "The reason why you brought me here today to see Zhang Ergong verify the train and railway is to pass through the affairs of the Japanese Kingdom?" ”

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi can be regarded as having understood, why early this morning, he just walked into the yamen of the tax office with his front foot, and Brother Xi rushed over after him, and pulled himself out of Yingtian City without saying anything.

This is to first throw out a benefit that Daming can't refuse, and then point out the problem, and finally give a solution.

What is the solution?

That is the country of Jinglu.

In fact, whether he agrees or not, Brother Xi will make a decision on the matter of comprehensively managing the Japanese country. This can be explained from Brother Xi'er's past, intentionally or unintentionally, and the attitude revealed to the Wa Kingdom.

His Royal Highness, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, did not like the Wa Kingdom.

This is no secret among many clan and court officials.

But because of this, Zhu Gaochi felt in a dilemma.

Brother Xi asked for his own opinion, which is a trust in himself and a trust in himself.

On the shoulders, there is an invisible pressure.

Zhu Gaochi's gaze changed several times.

Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand and patted Xiaopang's shoulder: "Actually, it's still the same sentence, war is always a derivative of politics." The Ming Dynasty is fully navigating the Japanese country at this moment, not only because of my personal preferences, nor because I really lack those Japanese workers in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"And what are you doing it for?"

Zhu Gaochi looked outside, staring at Zhu Yunxi in confusion.

Zhu Yunxi explained: "In addition to the current new policy, Daming also needs a bottom-up innovation. ”

That's a huge proposition.

Zhu Gaochi suddenly frowned, and his face was straight.

"I want to hear about it."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the stands under his feet, patted Xiao Fat on the shoulder twice, and then took the lead himself, hanging his feet outside the stands, and propping his hands back on the wooden board of the stands.

"The people of the Ming Dynasty are really too bitter, or the people of the Central Plains, for thousands of years, there are too few ways to do it for Hukou."

"The new policy of the imperial court is now in full swing, but what can be changed is the officials, it is the army. But what about the people? ”

"Every time I look through the history books, I wonder why the innovators of all dynasties seem to have tacitly forgotten what the people really wanted. They just stood on top of the high temple and made a vigorous revolution with what they thought was good governance. ”

"But did they ask the people if they needed it?"

"Is the former prince of the Song Dynasty a capable minister? I think he is. But did his new policy really take care of the needs of the people? Did the prince really ask the people if he was doing the right thing? ”

"I don't think so."

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were sad.

He doesn't believe in the so-called dynastic cyclical law, but in the Central Plains ruled by man, the big people above the temples will never really observe the people's feelings, and ask those people who face the loess with their backs to the sky what they really need.

"What do the people need?"

Zhu Yunxi asked again, looking up at the sky above this workshop, which had become gray because of the chimneys.

He spoke softly: "The people need to have enough to eat, they need to have surplus food, they need to have extra money, they need to have more spacious houses, and their children need to go to school, not their fathers farming." ”

"Spread the land into the mu, and the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor vigorously increased the grain production, all of which were just so that the people could have a full stomach. But what about the other things that the people wanted? ”

"Why would I let Wenyuan Pavilion vote for the construction of several other cement roads? Why do you want to give Pan Deshan almost endless power to work on the entire Yellow River? Why are you trying to build a railroad at this time? ”

"The people of our dynasty need some people to come out of the fields and do more valuable things. Or, do things that make more money and make your life better. ”

"The widowers had to do the hardest work, to mine, to dig coal, to build border blocks. I can go to the people to build concrete roads, rivers, and railways. ”

"In these few things, the imperial court did not levy conscription. Even if there is a levy, it is to give enough money and food, so that the people will not be like in the past, bring their own dry food, and do things for the court. ”

Zhu Yunxi's voice is very calm and long, but it is indescribably convincing.

Zhu Gaochi was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "But in this way, where did the imperial court get so much money and food?" That is, there is enough money, but once there is too much, the price of private goods will inevitably rise, and the life of the people will not change. ”

This is the most obvious economic problem.

Once there is more money in the world, but the total amount of material money does not increase correspondingly, the extra money can only be attached to the material of the cause, that is, the price increases.

The more you earn, the more the price increases.

"So the founding prince will stay there for a few years, or even more than a decade."

Zhu Yunxi confessed without thinking: "The south is a cornucopia, and if the southern army advances ten miles, the Ming Dynasty will be able to produce more than ten miles of land, and it will be able to transport it back to stabilize prices." ”

"I haven't seen anything like that in the book." Zhu Gaochi sighed and muttered in a low voice.

He hadn't seen such a statement. But he understands that there is nothing wrong with such a statement.

In recent years, more and more gold and silver have been transported back to heaven as the Japanese kingdom has been restored.

The prices in Yingtian City have risen faintly, but there is a court in charge, so it is not too obvious. But the changes are real.

Economics is a big problem, and Zhu Yunxi does not consider himself to be an all-knowing and all-powerful person.

He said: "This is a long-term thing, and the Ming Dynasty can't just build roads and embankments, and recruit a large number of people to work to make money to support their families, so as to live a prosperous life."

What is close at hand is to let the court, both inside and outside, see that the new policy is correct and will not be wrong.

It has been a long time since the resumption of the will of the Qin and French military meritorious lords, not to mention that the guards of the Beijing army are still directly related to the military guards, even the officers and soldiers of the local guards, and it is indeed as Bing Ge'er said, now they are seeking war and looking for war.

The court wants to let the people of the world know that what the court says is a mouthful of spit and a nail, if someone really makes immortal achievements, then give him the title of king!

Daming needs to let his family see integrity, and the king is also true! ”

Zhu Gaochi's eyes flickered constantly, he learned Zhu Yunxi's posture, put his hands behind his back, and propped himself on the ground, but only then did he realize that his stomach was a little tight.

And he said in a low voice: "Therefore, the comprehensive strategy of the Japanese state, no matter from any point of view, is for the government." ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded heavily.

"This battle must be fought!"

"If you don't break the country, you won't give up!"
