"Yes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty used this method to enrich the frontier back then, and we in the Ming Dynasty can also do the same, and we will not cause resentment among the people like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty." Zhu Han said with a smile.

In order to enrich the frontier, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent many of the lower classes of the population to the wilderness, mainly sons-in-law, slaves and merchants with low status in the Han Dynasty.

And the Ming Dynasty now enriches the frontier with unemployed refugees, providing conditions far beyond the conditions of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"In addition to this, we can also send these people to the army, but our Ming army requires a certain degree of discipline and morality, most of these people are helpless, they really can't be used, but they can be sent to Dongshengzhou!" Zhu Han said with a smile.

Dongshengzhou, that is, the new continent on the other side of the ocean.

Hu Dahai's son Hu Guan set up, and some Ming soldiers had opened up the situation in Dongsheng Prefecture and controlled many Yin tribes.

But compared to the millions of Yin people, Hu Guan's thousands of Ming troops were far from enough.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to assimilate the Yin people in the New World, the first condition was to have a sufficient population.

Relying only on thousands of soldiers of the Ming army, it was simply impossible to accomplish the task of assimilation.

And these unemployed vagrants in the Ming Dynasty, although they are all misbehaved, if they are thrown into a wild and unfamiliar new continent, they will inevitably obey the orders of the Ming army in order to survive.

"That's a great idea!"

Brother Zhu Yuanzhang immediately clapped happily.

Not only that, Zhu Yuanzhang also immediately learned to draw inferences from Zhu Han.

"Not only can we send these unemployed homeless people to Dongming Prefecture, but we can also send felons in prisons from all over the country to be sent there, anyway, these people are locked up in prison every day to eat idle food, which is really cheap for them!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

The prison management capacity of feudal society lags far behind that of modern society, and it is impossible to achieve the mode of labor reform like that of modern society.

In order to prevent prisoners from escaping, and to prevent prisoners from clashing with each other and causing human lives, all prisons in the Ming Dynasty adopted a strict cell system.

All the prisoners were kept in their cells, not allowed to move around at will, and certainly not to be released to organize any kind of labor production.

Therefore, this large number of people, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, are proper to eat idle meals.

If these people can be sent to Dongsheng Prefecture in the New World, then their ability to do evil can be very well used.

Hu Guanzhu has been on the table one after another, the Yin tribe in Dongsheng Prefecture is really barbaric, except for the tribes that returned to the Ming army, and there are some civilized progress, the rest of the tribes are all in a state of drinking blood.

Note!

Hu Guanzhu's remark in the recital that Ru Mao drinks blood is not an adjective, but a proper description.

At this time, most of the Yin people in the New World, especially the Yin people in North America, were in a state of survival in the late stage of primitive society.

The various tribes fought with each other, and the captured slaves were of little use, and they were often killed and sacrificed to the heavens, or they were eaten alive.

Eating human flesh is a heroic feat for the Yin people in North America.

is such a group of barbaric primitive tribes, compared with them, this group of prison criminals in the Ming Dynasty are all good people who are properly civilized.

Therefore, it is completely feasible to use the criminals of the Ming Dynasty to open up the New World.

"Okay, brother, your idea is exactly what I want!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's words are actually what Zhu Han is going to talk about next.

Now the two brothers thought of going together, they looked at each other and smiled, and immediately gave the matter a conclusion.

Early the next morning.

Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Shi Nai'an and other Beijing officials to the Huangji Palace.

When Zhu Yuanzhang said that he wanted to completely clean up the unemployed people in the gang, all the ministers were surprised.

They all feel that this kind of thing is actually just a small matter compared to national affairs.

These gangs of displaced people have not been cut off since ancient times.

Now if Daming wants to engage in this kind of action, I am afraid that it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and it will be difficult to achieve excellent results in the end.

"Hmph, you don't understand my determination!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a slight displeasure.

Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and the others all looked solemn and nervous when they heard this.

Except for important court meetings, Zhu Yuanzhang rarely called himself me.

Usually when he calls himself me, it usually means that he is really angry.

"Your Majesty Shengming, you will definitely be able to sweep away the millennium of depression and create a bright future!" Hu Weiyong took the lead among the ministers and said.

The reason for all this is because of the misdeeds of a group of beggars under Ying Tianfu, and Hu Weiyong has to behave well at this time.

Otherwise, it would not be good for His Majesty and the King to suspect that they had anything to do with those beggar scoundrels.

"This matter is just the beginning, I have already discussed with Your Majesty yesterday, it is still far from enough to eradicate these gang scoundrels and create a bright future!" Zhu Han said slowly beside him.

Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Shi Nai'an and others were even more shocked when they heard this.

In the minds of these readers, today's Daming can be said to be the glory of the past and the present.

The surrounding hostile forces had no ability to fight back in front of Da Ming.

Although the Han and Tang dynasties of that year had expanded their territory and reached thousands of miles away in the Western Regions.

But now the Ming Dynasty has also expanded its maritime territory to Tianzhu and Persia, thousands of miles away.

Moreover, Wang Baobao, who was entrenched in the Western Regions, was far behind the Ming army, and it was only a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty recovered the Western Regions on land.

"The inner saint and the outer king, the way of the saint! What Your Majesty said is really very admirable to the minister, and the minister is willing to do his best to wish His Majesty to complete this act for the benefit of the country and the people!" Li Shanchang followed next to him and said.

Li Shanchang is the most observant person, he knows that as long as it is the national policy set by Zhu Han, there is no impossibility of success, at this time, as long as he follows behind and raises his hand in agreement, it is simply boring to raise any objections.

"There are too many people involved, and the good and the bad are mixed, there are really some poor people, mixed in with them, and they are also exiled by the imperial court to serve as an army, I am afraid it will cause resentment among the people!" Liu Bowen frowned beside him and said cautiously.

Although his mind is very smart, he has one of the biggest weaknesses is that his heart is too soft, this kind of national policy can be a big event that can change the fate of a life for ordinary people, and he can't bear to be treated unjustly in it.

"It's also their misfortune to do big things without being informal, if there are some poor people mixed in a gang like the beggar gang, and besides, the imperial court exiled them to Nanyang and Xinzhou, which is also an opportunity for them to change their lives against the sky..."

I have to say that for those members of the beggar gang who have nothing, as long as they survive the difficult and dangerous ocean journey, whether it is in Nanyang or in the New World, as long as they are not entangled by the plague, it is probably a good opportunity to change their lives against the sky.

"These members of the beggar gang are the most pitiful, and they are despicable when they do dirty things, the court will leave them in the market, it will indeed make the good people at a loss, His Royal Highness is right, to do great things must be informal, there are really some poor people mixed in, then they can only hate themselves for taking the wrong path in the first place!" Shi Nai'an said slowly beside him.

Although Shi Nai'an was also a scholar, when he first became an official, most of his experience was at the local grassroots level, and he had seen many despicable means of livelihood of lower-class people.

For the future social transformation of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Han is far from being more than just a transformation gang scoundrel.

"In addition to these, Your Majesty and I have already discussed that from this year onwards, we will promote a new life in Daming, that is, the New Life Movement in Daming!" Zhu Han said proudly.

For modern people, there are various political movements that are relatively clear

awareness.

But for ancient intellectuals such as Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen, they had no concept at all.

Zhu Han discussed the new life movement of the Ming Dynasty with his brother Zhu Yuanzhang, mainly because of the rapid development of the Ming Dynasty today, and all walks of life will inevitably give birth to future capital sprouts.

If we want to enter a more advanced capitalist society, we must change our social life together.

"Your Highness, what does this new life mean?" Liu Bowen was the first to ask.

"As the name suggests, from now on, the people of the Ming Dynasty must change some of their original bad habits and complete a new way of life!" Zhu Han said.

"Changing customs is also something that the saints approve of, but how does His Highness want to carry out this new life movement?" Li Shanchang asked next to him.

"It's very simple, in fact, it's nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation!"

Zhu Han then explained to them the specific content of the Daming New Life Movement that he had discussed with his brother.

First of all, in terms of clothing, because more and more maritime trade has increased the population of sailors and sailors in the Ming Dynasty, and in the life at sea, it has become very inconvenient to tie the hair, so the Ming law will abolish the original punishment, that is, the punishment of shaving the hair.

From now on, everyone's hairstyle can be changed at will according to the needs of their professional life, and for Chinese people, the traditional concept of parents of body hair and skin will be affected like never before.

However, the effect of this law is entirely up to personal will, and the change for most people is not very large.

"Starting next year, the army of the Ming Dynasty will promote new military uniforms, all of which are cut in the most concise way, so that the army of the Ming Dynasty will become a model for the people to dress in the future!" Zhu Han continued.

When the army entered modernization, uniform and regular clothing has become a necessary component of the army.

Let the army start to enter the reform of clothing first, so that it can gradually spread among the people.

As for food, it is the top priority of this New Life Movement.

"Daming New Life does not eat raw aquatic meat, bats, foxes, rats, otters and other game that is easy to spread diseases!"

As a modern person, Zhu Han has long experienced the news of all kinds of strange creatures like humans spreading diseases.

As for the living in food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is to promote the new masonry, cement and earth houses.

The original houses of Daming used too much wood, and in densely populated cities, once a fire broke out, it would cause very large casualties and losses, so Zhu Han planned to make every effort to promote the new type of houses with masonry and cement structures in Daming.

Although these houses were not technically mature at the beginning and the construction looked a little ugly, as long as they were given time, they would certainly be able to lead the Ming Dynasty into the era of modern reinforced concrete buildings.

Moreover, the masonry and cement structure first showed its skills in civilian use, and the technology developed later can obtain higher practical value in the military field.

In Zhu Han's planning, the future military conquest of the Ming Dynasty relied on two powerful technologies, one was the Ming Dynasty's gunpowder weapons, and the other was the advanced fortress technology.

A fortress armed with advanced artillery can discourage any enemy of this era.

The cement used by Daming now is a simple formula provided by Zhu Han, and in the future, it must develop technology and develop while using it.

As for the line, it is just to promote the new type of 4-wheeled carriage that Yingtian Workshop has just tested.

This kind of 4-wheeled carriage provided by Zhu Han adopts independent suspension technology, so that not only is the carriage very light when traveling, but also easy to handle.

It also has excellent shock absorption, which is a world of difference in comfort compared to traditional two-wheeled carriages.

In addition, for the transportation of the northern border, in addition to the original canal, Daming will also develop more mature maritime transportation.

The canal is the lifeline connecting the north and the south, but its transportation efficiency is far less than that of the sea route.

Zhu Han clearly knows that the Ming and Qing dynasties in Chinese history were both benefited by the canal and carried by the luck

The river has many limitations.

Therefore, Zhuhai must completely change this situation, and cannot let the fate of a dynasty be pinned on a small canal.

Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others listened to Zhu Han's description, and they were all stunned.

They never imagined that someone would have such a clear understanding and prediction of a future development.

"His Royal Highness the Heavenly Genius is really a blessing to the Ming Dynasty!" Li Shanchang said with admiration.

"His Royal Highness, he is really a genius that Guan Zhong Le Yi can't match!" Zhu Sheng, who is a Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River, nodded assistively.

"His Royal Highness's layout can be said to have prepared a layout for the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years, and he is strategizing to win a hundred years later!" Liu Bowen expressed his heartfelt admiration and admiration.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, with the assistance of His Royal Highness the King of England, the ministers are in the court, but it is just a waste of money!" Shi Nai'an shook his head and said modestly.

……

Regarding the praise of these important ministers of the court, Zhu Han seemed very calm.

After all, these policies about the Daming New Life Movement are actually just his plagiarism of the successful experience of later generations.

Counting these credits on my own head, I always feel that some of the confidence is not very sufficient.

So Zhu Han smiled at all the compliments.

But his appearance, in the eyes of Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen and others, is even more remarkable.

Everyone thinks that Zhu Han not only has thousands of geniuses in his chest, but also is not arrogant.
