Chapter 199: The Great Plan to Make the Old Zhu Family the Captain.
"Recruitment?"
Jaffna beach.
The old man, who was building the palace on the beach with the little guy, was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhu Zhangui suspiciously, and asked.
"Isn't it to increase the number of troops? Why do you still need to recruit? β
The old man received Zhu Zhangui's request for conscription two days ago, and after careful consideration, he decided to increase the number of troops by another 200,000.
There is indeed no problem with more than 100,000 troops to defeat the three kingdoms of Afghanistan, but when it comes to management and control, it is a bit stretched.
Coupled with the threat of the Turkic descendants in the north, Zhu Zhangui has more than 100,000 troops under him, and it is really a bit choking to settle the overall affairs of the Three Kingdoms.
The old man thought about it for a while and decided to increase the number of troops by another 200,000.
He had already written the order to increase the troops, and he was waiting for the logistics team to return to deliver supplies in the past two days, and then bring the order back.
Unexpectedly, early this morning, Zhu Zhangui, who was on the front line, ran back.
Seeing that he didn't even mention the matter of increasing the number of soldiers, he directly said the idea of recruiting workers.
"That's right, it's recruitment!"
Zhu Zhangui, who was holding a small shovel in his hand and helping his son repair the city wall, nodded confirmatively.
Sticking the small shovel in his hand on the ground, the old man looked at Zhu Zhangui and said solemnly.
"Say what you think!"
Zhu Zhangui put forward this idea for a reason, and with the old man's understanding of this grandson, he will definitely not let it go.
"Grandpa, our original idea was to arrange soldiers or stewards to control slave farming after occupying the Three Kingdoms, so as to obtain food revenue."
The old man nodded, this is indeed what they discussed at the beginning.
"How... You've changed your mind now! β
Zhu Zhangui nodded.
"yes, I don't think that's a good idea."
"If you send soldiers, you have to leave at least 10 to 50 soldiers on every farm, and the entire Ganges Plain is huge."
"If it is distributed in this way, we will have at least tens of thousands of troops to fill it."
"Isn't it too wasteful to send tens of thousands of troops who can fight well to Tuntian?"
"If you add the guards of each city area, we will send at least 100,000 troops to garrison the entire Asan area!"
"What's more, these things produced have nothing to do with them, and they won't put much thought into them, at most they will follow orders, after all, how many things can be produced has nothing to do with them."
"The stewards of Huangzhuang are the best examples, what has Huangzhuang been like in recent years? I believe that grandpa, you also know. β
The old man frowned.
This is indeed a problem.
Although the Ming army has millions of people, it can remove the defenses in various places and the guards in various places, and the army that can really be mobilized is five or six hundred thousand.
In the future, if a hundred thousand troops were thrown in the Gangetic plain, it would really be a waste.
And it's not a year or two.
If you want to completely control the Asan region, it will take at least ten years.
More than 100,000 troops have been thrown here for more than ten years, and even the most elite troops have been scrapped.
Even if you send troops to change the defense, the cost is very huge.
If there is a slight problem in the middle, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be in turmoil.
Zhu Zhangui said that the old man was very clear about the Huangzhuang problem.
Embezzling money, bullying peasant households, bullying superiors and subordinates, and all kinds of problems are innumerable.
"Tell me what you think!"
The old man's expression became serious.
Zhu Zhangui handed the shovel to his wife next to him, reached out and picked up the stick and drew it on the beach next to it.
"My idea is this, recruit young people from the Ming Dynasty to come to Ah Sanguo, and they will be responsible for managing the warehouse and watching Ah San's slaves farm."
"In order to motivate them, we will pay them for 5 years!"
"After 5 years, we sent him home for free, of course we want to stay and continue to work, we are more welcome, and even put down roots here in Asanko. @η²Ύε\/Shuge*First Update~~"
"For example, a young man came to Ah Sanguo, responsible for managing the warehouse and watching over the slaves to farm, us. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 199: The Great Plan to Make the Old Zhu Family the Captain.
The wages and salaries given to him are calculated according to his overall earnings. β
"Like that."
Zhu Zhangui wrote 100 in the first position of the grid drawn on the beach.
"He is in charge of 100 acres of land, and we set a minimum harvest for these lands, as long as he can reach this minimum harvest, the imperial court will give him a salary of 100 taels of silver every year."
"In addition, for every extra pound of grain produced, we will reward him with more money, or ask for food!"
"In this way, with the encouragement of money, they will take care of the land and supervise the slaves."
"With a little more food, he can make a little more money."
After saying this, Zhu Zhangui also added.
"I'm just making an analogy, how much money will be paid to them in the future, and I will have to calculate it with the household department and the imperial court."
"But my suggestion is that the income should be one or even two or three times higher than that of Daming, otherwise they can survive in the local area, why do they run thousands of miles here. The common people are not stupid, there is no great temptation, they are not willing to leave their homeland. β
"In this way, our forces can be drawn out freely. The recruited young people, 100 or hundreds of people arranged together, can also be used as militia. β
"They don't need to work, they just need to take care of the warehouses, take care of the slaves, and turn in the grain regularly."
"In normal times, you can let them train, so that they have a certain combat power to suppress the rebellion of the slaves!"
The old man listened to Zhu Zhangui's plan and fell into deep thought.
While the old man was pondering, Zhu Zhangui proposed an even bigger bombshell.
Drawing a tree trunk next to the form, Zhu Zhangui asked the old man.
"Grandpa, have you ever heard of a phrase?"
The old man looked up at Zhu Zhangui.
Zhu Zhangui looked at the old man and said slowly.
"A dynasty of flowing water, a family of iron!"
The old man's eyes narrowed slightly.
Of course he'd heard that.
The worldly dynasties are reincarnated, and as long as those great families do not encounter foreign invasions, there is almost no danger.
"Grandpa, have you ever wondered why, under the education of the monarch and the minister's father and son, the dynasty that should have been united collapsed."
"The explanation in the history books is that it is a natural disaster and a man-made disaster, some say that the emperor has no way, and some say that it has lost the hearts and minds of the people!"
Zhu Zhangui looked at the old man.
"But in my opinion, all this is just an excuse, the so-called loss of people's hearts and people's hearts, except for a small reason of the emperor, the biggest reason is that the country and the royal family can no longer bring benefits to the officials and people of the world."
"A dynasty that can't benefit officials and the people, why do you keep it if it doesn't fall? Do you continue to harm people? β
"But if the royal family can bring countless benefits to the official family, it can give countless benefits to the people."
"No matter how mediocre the emperor of this dynasty is, as long as he can guarantee these interests, the people and officials under him will still support him without hesitation."
"Because once this dynasty that has brought them benefits falls, they dare not guarantee that the next dynasty will be able to give them these as well."
"So even if the people of the royal family don't work hard, the officials and people below will desperately repair this rotten ship and let it continue to lead everyone forward!"
Zhu Zhangui's words made the old man stunned in place, staring at Zhu Zhangui with his eyes.
After drawing the tree trunk on the beach, Zhu Zhangui looked at the old man who was staring at him and asked a question.
"If the Yuan Dynasty had given Grandpa Tai's family enough to eat, they could earn a few taels of silver every month, and the children in the family went to school, would Grandpa Tai rebel?"
The old man shook his head directly.
"If the Yuan Dynasty was really so good back then, maybe we are farming in Fengyang's hometown now!"
"Isn't that the end of it!"
Zhu Zhangui clapped his hands.
"Why did Grandpa Tai rebel, it's not because the family can't finish eating, and everyone is starving to death."
"A dynasty can't even guarantee the basic living needs of the people, so why let people live. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 199: The Great Plan to Make the Old Zhu Family the Captain.
Obey your orders and obey your rule, is it because of the boasting of God's son? β
Zhu Zhangui got up and said loudly.
"If you want the people of the world to always support our Ming Dynasty, it's actually very simple."
"Let them be fed, clothed, and not bullied."
"As long as our old Zhu family can do these three things and continue to do it, our Zhu family dynasty will always be passed on!"
"Even if there is no need for the royal family one day in the future, the common people will still remember the good of the old Zhu family, because we let them have enough food, wear clothes, not be bullied, and live a perfect life."
"As long as our Zhu family does all this, even if there is a fool sitting on the throne, the people will support it, protect this fool, and continue to pass on this dynasty."
"Because only if this dynasty continues to be passed on, they can guarantee everything that is present."
The old man was deeply shocked by these words.
He didn't expect this grandson, who had just become an adult, to analyze the fundamentals of a country so thoroughly.
Oh, yes.
How innocent and kind the people are.
As long as they are fed, warmly dressed, not bullied, their children go to school, and the elderly are supported, they will wholeheartedly obey the orders of the state and support the country.
What kind of benevolent and righteous king, the famous lord of the world, is actually.
For the common people, if you can't do this simple question, you are the reincarnation of a saint and it will be in vain.
As long as all this can be done, the emperor's personal morality, the common people actually don't care at all.
Taking a deep breath slowly, the old man looked at Zhu Zhangui with relief.
Although this kid has a reckless personality and is as belligerent and murderous as himself, he will definitely be a good emperor in the future.
"Tell me about your plans!"
The old man picked up his robe, squatted on the side of the trunk painted by Zhu Zhangui, and listened to him continue.
Zhu Zhangui squatted on the other side, pointing to the trunk of the tree he had drawn and spoke.
"What the people want is very simple, in fact, what the officials of the family want is also very simple, it is nothing more than the word profit!"
"But where do they get their benefits, I guess you know very well, grandpa!"
The old man sneered.
"It's nothing more than embezzling state money and encroaching on land."
"Didn't these guys do this in the past, and the dynasties were broken up by them in this way!"
Zhu Zhangui nodded very approvingly.
"Land is limited, and once it reaches saturation and the people can't survive, they will raise the flag of rebellion."
"It's been like this almost since ancient times, and it's almost an unsolvable problem!"
The old man sighed helplessly.
Almost every dynasty knows this reason, but after all these years, no one has come up with a solution.
"Is there anything you can do?"
The old man looked at Zhu Zhangui and asked expectantly.
Zhu Zhangui smiled bitterly.
The old man also thinks too highly of him, no amount of power in ancient and modern times has solved this problem, how can he be young and young?
The way he thinks about it is nothing more than to push back the time when the conflict erupts.
"Grandpa, I want to solve it, but I also have to have that ability. But I do have an idea to push back the time of this contradiction! β
The old man sighed when he heard this, and then looked at Zhu Zhangui expectantly.
It's okay to push it back.
As mentioned earlier, neither of them thought about making the Zhu dynasty last forever, but they just tried to push back the time of its destruction.
"My idea is this, since they want benefits, then we will give them benefits, and tie them to the chariot of our old Zhu family like the people."
"Even if they can't be both prosperous and loss-in-law, let them be ruthlessly broken because of the fall of our dynasty."
"With this kind of consequence, when the dynasty is in trouble, they will do their best to help us because of these interests, and they will not stand idly by and let the dynasty fall like the previous dynasty."
The old man's eyes lit up and he sat down in the sand. Initial Update @ (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 199: The Great Plan to Make the Old Zhu Family the Captain.
On the beach, he took out a small notebook and nodded while jotting down.
"My idea is to set up the Ming Colonial Chamber of Commerce with the royal family as the mainstay, and bring in all these officials, nobles, and landlords."
Zhu Zhangui wrote a vermilion character at the position of the trunk of the tree.
"Our royal family has become the trunk of this great tree of interests."
Later, on the trunk and branches, officials, nobles, families, and small landowners were written. Error-free updates @
"Let the officials and noble families and small landlords become the trunks and branches of the big tree of interests, and the people are the leaves of the big tree of interests!"
After writing this, Zhu Zhangui threw the stick aside and patted the sand on his hand, explaining to the old man.
"Why don't the officials approve of our overseas wars because they say they think about the people?"
Without waiting for the old man to answer, Zhu Zhangui said directly: "No, how can they care about the life and death of the people, the reason why they oppose it is because they can't get benefits in it, but they have to be tired enough." β
"This kind of hard work will not be beneficial, and only fools will do it, so in order to mobilize their enthusiasm, we have to give them benefits."
"Colonial Wars!"
Zhu Zhangui looked at the old man and said 4 words.
Reaching out and pointing to the painted tree, he explained:
"If they can also gain benefits from overseas colonial wars, and the income from one year is even higher than their income for more than ten years, will they still oppose it?"
The old man's brows furrowed tightly.
"You're going to give them the benefits of overseas."
Zhu Zhangui nodded, looked at the old man and said seriously: "Grandpa, eating alone will not last for a long time, why so many people oppose Zheng He's going to sea, it is not because it can't bring them benefits." β
"It's not good for them, but it makes them busy for it, and I don't want to put this kind of thing on my head."
The old man was a little reluctant and said: "But if we divide it like this, how much money will we lose!" β
The old man's search made Zhu Zhangui speechless for a while.
This old man said a few days ago that he didn't put his identity in the position of the monarch, how could he change it to himself, and it became like this.
"Grandpa, you have to put your identity in the position of a monarch, don't look like a petty family, this won't be a big deal!"
Hearing this, the old man first nodded, then his eyes widened, and he slapped Zhu Zhangui on the head.
"You little cub taught me a lesson, you think I don't understand this truth, I just think that so much money is divided, it's a little painful."
Zhu Zhangui grinned, hugged the little guy who came over and looked at the grandfather and grandson curiously, and continued:
"In my plan, I will collect all the future colonial profits and divide them into countless dry shares."
"In order to ensure the absolute leadership of our royal family, our royal family will occupy 50% of the shares, which will never change."
Zhu Zhangui's free hand drew a cake on the sand, splitting it in two from the middle.
Later, five arrows were drawn on the other half, and under the arrows were written the vassal kings, officials, nobles, families, and small landlords.
"The remaining 50% will be turned into countless small shares."
"According to the different shares, after the overseas income reaches the imperial court every year, the money will be divided according to the number of shares."
"And the way to get these shares is not to buy them with money."
"It's someone who makes a strong contribution."
"There will be countless merchant ships needed in the future, and these ships, including their crews, will need them to come out!"
"Depending on the size of the contribution, you can get the corresponding shares, or get a big credit, and you can use these shares as a reward!"
"Of course, there must be a peak, and it is stipulated that people who own shares are not allowed to trade and transfer privately, and if they want to sell or transfer, they must be reported to the Chamber of Commerce and approved before they can be allowed."
"In this way, the greater the interest overseas, the more money they will share each year. When they see the benefits, they want more, so they will continue to urge the imperial court to expand the colony. β
"In the future, once the colonies are attacked, they will even be more anxious than the imperial court."
Looking at the old man who was deep in thought, Zhu Zhangui finally made up. (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 199: The Great Plan to Make the Old Zhu Family the Captain.
Charge.
"In order to ensure our interests and their interests, the right to go to sea must be firmly in the hands of the imperial court."
"That is to say, we will not only ban the sea, but also increase our efforts, and all those who go to the sea to do business without permission will be severely punished."
"In this way, only the ships of the Chamber of Commerce can go to sea, and those people will be stricter than our imperial court supervision in order to ensure their own interests."
This is Zhu Zhangui's plan.
Tie the entire imperial court to the chariot of the Ming Dynasty and unite to develop overseas trade and colonization.
In this way, not only can the imperial court be stable, and the continuous colonial wars can also be used to continue the development of armaments.
After all, your weapons and equipment have not been upgraded, and you can't beat the enemy and colonize a fart.
And the colonies that have been defeated can allow the young and strong people of the common people to work, take care of the warehouses and slave planting, and can also become militia to protect the colonies.
The royal family, officials, nouveau riche, families, and small landlords made a lot of money, and the common people went out to work to earn a small amount of money.
You can all make money, you can live comfortably, except for those real careerists, who will rebel?
Even if there are careerists, these guys tied to the interests of the royal family will help the royal family strangle these careerists to death.
Ruining people's wealth is like killing their parents, this sentence is not a joke.
Stability continues, as long as the descendants of the old Zhu family do not destroy this chain of interests without brains, coupled with the centennial plan of Xinxue, the Ming Dynasty deserves to be born for generations.
If there are a few more famous gentlemen and a few capable ministers, maybe the old Zhu family can still be the ball captain.
