In addition to the gentry of the Ming Dynasty, the Jiannu in the north also had a hard time.

After Sun Chuanting conquered Jinzhou, he directly reduced the previous captives, as well as the Jiannu in Jinzhou City and their clothed minions, to slaves and let them build roads.

Under Sun Chuanting's urging at any cost, these people built the road very quickly, and in just half a year, they were repaired to Guangning City, and the speed was amazing.

And all the small cities along the way were easily taken by Sun Chuanting, and after capturing these small cities, Sun Chuanting would continue to recruit people to build roads.

After arriving at Quang Ninh City, the guards sent by Hauge wanted to resist, but as soon as he said that he would defend the city, he was chopped off in the first night.

These people from Guangning City watched how Huang Taiji lost, and they also watched how Sun Chuanting slaughtered the elite of the 40,000 Eight Banners.

Now Sun Chuanting's reputation can be said to be enough to make children stop crying among Jiannu, and now among Jiannu, who doesn't know that Sun Chuanting is a killing star.

If you defend it, when the city is broken, it is likely that it will be the result of the slaughter of the city.

And the most important thing is that they can't hold it, before Huang Taiji and Ji'er Harang, the 600,000 army failed to hold Jinzhou City, and now they are the defenders, if they want to hold Guangning City, what are they dreaming of?

The guards sent by Hauge wanted to die, but they, the officials of Quang Ninh, didn't want to die, so they directly sent their heads to Sun Chuanting, and then surrendered the city.

For their initiative to surrender, Sun Chuanting also expressed goodwill.

Originally, he arrested people to build roads, and he took five out of ten, which means that one of the two Jiannu should build roads.

Now, in order to encourage this kind of surrender in Guangning City, Sun Chuanting's decision is that five out of ten of the labor will remain unchanged, but these spectators in Guangning City can have a part of the quota exempted from labor service.

That is to say, the qualifications for conscription and conscription, which were originally in the hands of Sun Chuanting, gave these former Guangning City officials some and let them decide for themselves who went and who didn't.

This can be regarded as a small pit dug by Sun Chuanting for them, to separate their relationship with the people, after all, they do not suffer from widowhood but unevenness, not to mention that the quota of Sun Chuanting's labor has not changed at all, that is to say, those Guangning officials want to be exempted from labor labor, they have to be drawn from the ordinary people, and it is strange that those people have no complaints about them.

Imagine the Chinese network

And as long as they arouse public resentment, when the Ming Dynasty sends people to take over Guangning, they will be directly cleaned up, and they will be able to easily win the hearts of the people of Guangning.

Some of those officials in Guangning City also saw Sun Chuanting's intentions, but they didn't care.

Because for them, the people under their rule are slaves and untouchables, they are afraid of the Ming Dynasty, but they are not afraid of the people under their rule, even if they have grievances, what can they do, they can still turn the sky upside down.

For Sun Chuanting's swaggering move to build the road, Haoge didn't just watch it, after all, he also knew that when the road was repaired and the logistics of the Ming Dynasty were completely cleared, then what was waiting for them would be destruction.

Therefore, Haoge sent people to obstruct Sun Chuanting's road construction many times, and even did not hesitate to kill the people who built the road, but also hindered the speed of the Ming Dynasty's road construction.

As for Haoge's behavior, Sun Chuanting's response is also very simple.

He didn't care about the small group of cavalry that was sabotage, he directly led the troops out of the customs, slaughtered three cities of Jiannu in a row, and directly put down his words, Hauge destroyed once, he slaughtered the city once, he wanted to see if Hauge destroyed the road quickly, or he slaughtered the city quickly.

Sun Chuanting's ruthless methods immediately suppressed Jiannu, because Sun Chuanting really had the ability and determination.

In such a situation, even if Haoge has the heart to not compromise, there is no way, after all, he does not have the prestige and means of Huang Taiji, he is not alone in Jiannu, he has a long-term view, and he can't withstand the fear of others, so he has to honestly withdraw the troops back, and dare not make any small moves.

In this kind of quiet day, time slowly came to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, early May.

At this time, it was only two years since Lao Zhu came to the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In the past two years, Daming has undergone earth-shaking changes.

First of all, the officialdom has been almost killed, if there is someone who has a heart to make statistics, then he will find that in the past two years, seventy percent of the officials have been directly beheaded for corruption, and it can almost be said that the entire officialdom has been killed.

In addition to the officials, the most unlucky are the gentry and wealthy families.

Their backstage has fallen, they themselves have been liquidated, and the usurped land has been lost, and they have to make up the taxes owed over the years, plus fines.

The final amount of this tax arrears plus fines is basically stuck in the extreme wealth of these gentry, and if they want to pay this fine, they have to sell their fields, land, and shops, and all the gentry who can survive have to shed their skin even if they don't die.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, in order to make up for the vacuum of the low-level forces, Lao Zhu established a village and town structure, so that the low-level officials appointed by the government replaced the previous status of the clan elders.

In this way, after a short period of chaos, Daming quickly got on the right track.

After getting on the right track, Daming showed amazing potential, and with the popularization of the endless scientific research results of the Ordnance Bureau among the people, the level of science and technology of the people soon rose to a new level.

And Lao Zhu is worried that the development of the imperial court is too fast, which will decouple the upper and lower levels of the Ming Dynasty, and when the time comes, the train will run full of the Ming Dynasty, but the situation of the people at the bottom still starving to death is not good.

Lao Zhu always believes that technology is for the entire Ming Dynasty, not for a certain part of the Ming Dynasty, if this technology can only provide pleasure for a small number of people, and the vast majority of the people are still unclothed and hungry, then this technology is not to be.

Therefore, Lao Zhu did not restrict Daming's science and technology in the slightest, but printed all the scientific and technological achievements that could be published on the books, which was listed as one of the must-read subjects for students.

By the way, the Ministry of Education of the Ming Dynasty has been established, and the original Guozijian was directly merged into the Ministry of Education by the Ministry of Education, and the first Minister of Education was Ni Yuanlu.

This great calligrapher, who has been in the household department for nearly two years, finally got rid of the copper smell of the household department, and it is said that this little old man, who is more than half a hundred years old, almost jumped away at the moment when he left the door of the household department.

After the establishment of the Ministry of Education, Lao Zhu also refined Daming's school.

Today's Daming, the school is divided into four levels, namely Mengxue, Beginner, Science and Taixue.

Among them, Mengxue refers to enlightenment, which is generally to go to school before the age of ten, and the disciplines it teaches, in addition to the traditional enlightenment texts such as the Three Character Classics and the Hundred Family Names, also add the simplest arithmetic.

In addition to the original "Four Books", "Spring and Autumn" and other classics, some basic mathematics, chemistry, history, and scientific research achievements of the Ming Dynasty are also added.

Of course, although these things look complicated, they are actually just for them to understand, and they are not intended to learn them directly, so the knowledge in this is all in simple terms, so that they have a basic concept of the current Daming, so that they know how Daming's technology came about and how it should be developed.

If they are interested and want to continue their research, then the next step is science.

The name of science is taken from the principle of all things, and this name is named by Lao Zhu himself, which means that what needs to be studied in the stage of science is the principle of all things.

Students at this stage are also five years, and generally at this time, they need to choose the direction of future research and start detailed research.

After science, it is Taixue, and Taixue does not distinguish between ages, it all depends on ability, as long as you have the ability, you can pass the assessment, you can enter Taixue, even if you are already seventy or eighty.

In these four levels of schools, Mongolian school and beginner school are designated by Lao Zhu as compulsory education, that is, the expenses required for students to go to school are all borne by the Ministry of Education.

As for science and science, because they need to be assessed, those who can enter are talented students, and the fifteen-year-old is also considered a labor force in the people, so after entering science, not only the Ministry of Education will not only bear the cost of going to school, but also give students an extra reward.

In addition to these four regular schools, Lao Zhu also deliberately opened a literary hall.

The so-called bundo is a literacy class, which is a way to popularize knowledge to those adult people.

After all, the development of Daming science and technology is getting faster and faster, and there are naturally more and more people who need to read and write, so there will always be some people who will go to the Wentang for some high-end work.

In order to encourage the people to send their children to school, Lao Zhu also made a bloody investment and directly formulated a detailed tax exemption strategy.

As long as the people have students in their families, they can reduce part of the land tax, which is undoubtedly the most cost-effective thing for the people.

In addition to education, medical care has also been back on track, Huimin pharmacies have been built in various places, and Lao Zhu has also set up a separate medical department, and the first minister of medicine is Wu Youke.

In addition to treating diseases and saving people, the medical bureau is also responsible for training doctors.

Originally, Lao Zhu originally planned to put medicine in science, but later thought that it would be better to let the Ministry of Medicine cultivate it alone.

After all, Chinese medicine is generally a secular study, and the knowledge required is too broad to be completed in three or five years.

Therefore, the medical bureau has a separate educational institution, specializing in teaching students to learn arts, starting to teach from childhood, and after leaving the teacher, you can directly work as a doctor in Huimin Pharmacy.

In short, today's Daming, agriculture, medical care, education, transportation, science and technology and so on are developing rapidly.

Although it is said that the disaster of the Great Tomorrow is still happening, under the orderly arrangement of the imperial court, if it can resist the disaster, if it cannot resist the disaster, let the people evacuate, or after the disaster, give relief and compensate the people.

The Ming Dynasty, which was about to come to an end, has begun to develop steadily and flourish under the governance of Lao Zhu.
