Chapter 408: Da Ming's Dog-legged Ming Army!
"I don't agree with this plan!"
In Shang Shufang, Zhu Fatpang raised objections to the combat methods of the two front armies.
It's a coincidence.
Zhu Chubby had just arrived at the battlefield in the name of condolences and took his wife for a walk.
As soon as he came back from the back foot, he was about to tell his son about the situation on the battlefield, when he happened to meet Zhu Zhangui, and convened the six ministries of the cabinet and the Ministry of Defense to discuss, and the two front armies put forward the idea of dealing with the tactics of wolves in depth.
Zhu Fatpang caught up and didn't leave, planning to learn about the current situation.
However, when he saw the telegrams sent by the armies of the two fronts, the method proposed on them to defeat the enemy by killing, he directly objected.
It's not that Zhu Fatpang cares about the people of other races, it's that he thinks it's too wasteful to kill like this.
The Ming Dynasty has now abolished forced labor, but with the development, a large amount of labor is needed.
Fortunately, in the past two years, the Ming Dynasty has been fighting and has captured a lot of slaves to do these jobs on behalf of the Ming people.
But as the territory expanded, there were too many works to be started, and there were more factories, and these slaves were not enough.
So his idea was that killing him directly like this would not only damage Daming's reputation, but also waste so much labor, which was a waste.
"The Emperor!"
Xia Yuanji stood up and said solemnly to Zhu Chupang: "The minister can understand your thoughts, but you only pay attention to the labor, but ignore the potential safety hazards and the waste of food. ”
"At the beginning, the minister discussed with the emperor that the more slaves the better, and it is best to control them within a certain amount."
"In this way, it is convenient for the court to manage, and the consumption is also controlled."
"There are more slaves, and they work very quickly, but the areas where they work are all within our territory, and if there is an accident and a riot, it will hurt our own people."
Seeing that Xia Yuanji, the old minister, had raised objections, Zhu Fatpang was stunned for a moment and looked at the others.
The three elders, Yang Pu, Yang Rong, and Lu Xin, were silent about this, and it was obvious that they had acquiesced.
The reason why the three of them were able to agree to this plan was because they felt in their hearts that it was very difficult for these alien races to manage and make them recognize the Ming Dynasty.
And now, in the past ten years, with the stabilization of Daming and the development of medical business, especially the improvement of young children, the population has begun to explode rapidly.
The imperial court calculated that if population growth was not restricted, after 30 years, the population of the Ming Dynasty could reach at least 500 million.
500 million people.
From ancient times to the present, when has Yanhuang had such a high population.
If you count those aliens, after 30 years, the Ming Dynasty will have at least 8~900 million people.
Those who are familiar with history books know it.
As the population increases, the land naturally decreases.
Therefore, for the sake of the common people of the Ming Dynasty, they can only ignore those alien races if they have land to grow and eat enough in the future.
Those who are not of my race will have different hearts.
Instead of guarding against it every day in the future, it is better to turn their race into a minority race and let Yanhuang occupy most of the world.
Yan Huang people have a unified idea in their hearts, even if the world is chaotic in the future, the Yan and Huang people who control most of the world will have rising stars to unify the whole world again.
So no matter what happens in the future, as long as there is a place of Yanhuang, that land will always belong to Yanhuang.
As important cabinet ministers, they are well aware of their responsibilities and missions, and their vision should not only stay at the present, but also take a long-term view.
Although the sin of doing so is in the present day, it can be done in the future.
Those who agree with this suggestion will definitely be praised and worshiped by countless future generations of Yanhuang people in the future.
What are they studying for and becoming officials?
It is nothing more than power and fame through the ages.
Now that the opportunity is in front of them, they will naturally not give up.
The other six Shangshu also did not express an opinion.
Let's not mention that they were all pulled by Zhu Zhangui, and they will not object to the interests of Yan Huang in this matter.
As for Yu Qian, who has the world in mind, why didn't he object?
The reason is very simple, the world in Yu Qian's heart is the world of Yanhuang, and the people in his heart are the people of Yanhuang, not those aliens with strange hair and skin.
He is very clear about this.
Looking at the silent crowd, Zhu Chupang wrinkled his brows.
He found that since he abdicated, the imperial court, which was originally in his hands, had begun to become strange.
The officials who used to obey him also began to distance themselves from him.
Although he was a little uncomfortable about this, he also understood that these ministers had made the right choice.
With the new emperor still hooking up with the emperor, do you still want to do it as an official?
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Chupang looked at Zhu Zhangui.
"Son, I don't know what you think, but there's one thing I don't understand."
"If we don't capture more slaves, where will the manpower needed everywhere come from?"
"We have just abolished forced labor for a few years, and when the common people are happy about it, if we propose to restore this system again, not to mention what happens externally, we will be in chaos internally."
"For the imperial court, any system that is unfavorable to the people, once abolished, it is better not to use it again, otherwise it is easy to cause public resentment and even cause a greater crisis."
Looking at the serious father, Zhu Zhangui understood that the other party was for his own good, and he was afraid that he would be young and vigorous, and he would do something that was not conducive to the court.
"Dad, we have discussed this matter and have a solution, otherwise your ministers will not be silent."
"What's the solution?"
Zhu Panpang thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a solution.
After all, if you don't catch slaves, then the work will have to be done by ordinary people.
If the people are not allowed to come, then these tasks will be delayed.
"Liberate the countryside and work in the city!"
Zhu Zhangui smiled and said 8 words.
walked out of the imperial case and helped his father sit back on the chair, Zhu Zhangui explained to him.
"I have already discussed this issue with your ministers."
"Slaves will run out one day."
"When the world is taken by us, where should we go to catch slaves."
"Even if there is no shortage in our generation, what will happen to our future generations in the future?"
"So I thought about finding an easy way to do it."
"After I discussed with all the ministers, then change the idea of valuing agriculture and suppressing business in the world to balance."
"Let the people get out of the land, go out of the countryside, go to the cities that need labor, and work to make money."
"In order to make it convenient for the people to travel, the imperial court will also open the train to civilian use in the future to solve the travel problem of the people."
"And the establishment of civil telegraph offices in various places has also brought convenience to the people in communication."
"In this way, people go out to work after the New Year, be busy until the end of the year, and go home with the harvest of the year to reunite with their relatives."
"And their children, they don't have to worry about it, the school will take good care of it."
"The family's land can also be contracted and leased to other people, or directly leased to the local yamen, who will lease it to others."
"This way, not only can they earn money outside, but their family's land will not be wasted, and they will also bring in income."
What Zhu Zhangui put forward is the idea of going out to work to make money in the 90s in his previous life.
He wanted the Ming Dynasty to reform and open up and accelerate the development of civilization.
But Da Ming is too big, and his energy is limited, so it is impossible for everyone to become rich.
So he thought of a way to liberate the countryside and work in the city.
Just like in his previous life, in the 90s, when he didn't go to the city to work, there were dirt roads everywhere, and even the houses were mud thatched houses.
But since the rise of part-time work, new things from outside have been brought back to the countryside, and ordinary people who have earned money have also begun to rebuild their own yards and build houses.
Zhu Zhangui was most impressed by one of his classmates.
According to the classmate, when his parents separated from his grandmother, they got a few steamed buns and half a bag of grain.
At that time, the poor family almost starved to death.
Later, after the reform and opening up, he could go out to work, and his father went out to work, and the life of the family got better little by little.
Therefore, if a policy is formulated by the imperial court, it is calculated after countless thoughts, and even if it fails to achieve the original predetermined goal, it will make people's livelihood improve slightly.
"Is this reliable, the common people have planted the land all their lives, and they will go out?"
After listening to his son's analysis, Zhu Fatpang remained skeptical.
"Dad, I'll give you an analogy!"
"For example, our family is not a royal family, but an ordinary family, the family only has five acres of land, half of which is still low-grade land, and the food produced every year is barely enough for food and clothing."
"Later, I planted potatoes, and although I was able to eat enough, my son and daughter-in-law were worried again."
"Because the bride price is too high, the little income in the field is not enough for me and a few brothers to marry."
"Even if you can barely marry a daughter-in-law, if you divide the family, these few acres of land can't support the family at all."
"At this time, you heard from the imperial court that when you go out to work, the money you earn every year is several times or even more than ten times the income of the grain field, and you don't have to be as troublesome as before, and you can contact your family at any time."
"Seeing that I and a few brothers have reached the age of marrying wives, and no one has proposed marriage yet, and we don't even have a decent piece of clothing on our bodies, will you take a few of us out to work and fight together."
"Of course I will." Hearing Zhu Zhangui's analogy, Zhu Panpang didn't even think about it, so he answered.
After saying that, he was stunned for a moment before smiling and shaking his head.
"Although you kid got into it, I have to say that this method is really good."
"It not only solves the problem of the development of the imperial court, but also solves the problem of the people's livelihood."
"But you have to think about it carefully, once it is formulated, the annual expenses of the imperial court may increase several times or even more than ten times."
Zhu Zhangui looked at Xia Yuanji, and the two smiled.
"Do you have a way again?"
Seeing the smiling expressions of the two, Zhu Chupang looked stunned.
Is the imperial court's ability to do things so strong now, and it has begun to take one step and count three steps.
"Dad, this is another policy that complements the part-time job policy."
Zhu Fatpang became interested and urged: "Let's talk about it." ”
"Emperor Taishang, let the ministers say it."
Seeing that the emperor had just said it for so long, as the prince of the household department, Xia Yuanji hurriedly stood up and took over the work that should have belonged to him.
Zhu Fatpang saw him.
"When people go out to work, they naturally need a place to work."
"But if you want to enter the court work, you need to investigate, and it can be said that it is very troublesome to come and go."
"Even if we relax the recruitment, the recruited people will always have to send someone to take care of it, which will be another expense for the imperial court."
"If this continues, even if the imperial court has mountains of gold and silver, they will all be hollowed out."
"So we discussed it and made an important decision, that is, to license some of the technology that is no longer classified in the hands of the imperial court to those merchants and families."
"And support them to build factories and recruit people to work."
"In this way, the work of the people going out will be settled, and the court will not have to bother sending people to manage it, just buy what goods you need to buy anywhere, if the quality is not good, we can just don't want it."
"And we have to charge a certain amount of patent fees every year for the technology we license, plus the procedures for setting up a factory, as well as a series of things such as localities, etc., we can recover a sum of money every year."
"A factory may only get tens or even hundreds of taels of silver every year, which may not be much, but if there are thousands or even tens of thousands of factories."
"In this way, how much income can the imperial court increase every year."
"And all we pay for is some unimportant technology, some land and some permits."
"Bang Bang..."
After listening to Xia Yuanji's explanation, Zhu Fatpang couldn't help but applaud, and at the same time looked at Zhu Zhangui who was standing next to him with a smile, and said with emotion: "There are more talents in the country, and a generation of newcomers is better than the old, it seems that I am right to abdicate, I am getting old!" ”
Shaking his head, Zhu Chupang stood up and waved his hand at the people who also hurriedly got up.
"Since you all have a strategy, then I'll rest assured, let's talk, I'll go to Taimiao and tell the old man about the happy events that have happened recently."
"Congratulations to the Emperor!"
In the midst of everyone's salute, Zhu Chupang hummed a little song with his hands behind his back, walked out of the Shang study room and went to the Taimiao to show off to his father and grandfather.
After seeing his father leave, Zhu Zhangui asked Hu Yu to personally guard outside the door, and after not allowing anyone to approach, he looked at Zhang Fu, who was the chief of the General Staff of the Ministry of National Defense, and ordered in a cold voice:
"Send a report to all sides of the army!"
"For this kind of inhumane behavior, the imperial court is not allowed, let all troops control the soldiers, and do not kill at will, and those who violate it will be severely punished!"
After Zhu Zhangui said this, under the shocked expressions of several important ministers, he continued: "However, in order to strengthen local management, for those aliens who surrender on their own initiative, the imperial court allows the front army to give due establishment and equipment, and they will maintain local law and order to carry out the orders of the court and the front army!" ”
Everyone was stunned.
Slaughter is such a thing, and the identity of the Ming officials and soldiers cannot be touched.
After all, no matter how secret things are, there are times when they are leaked, and once they are leaked, Daming's reputation will be completely stinky.
But if these things were done by those Ming Xiejun, it would be different.
In this way, all the sins are borne by the Ming Association.
In this way, the hatred of the alien race will also be removed from the Ming Dynasty and placed in the Ming Association Army, which has done all the bad things.
As long as the Ming army maintained discipline, the resistance of those alien races would be minimized.
In the future, when the world is occupied, you can also use these Ming Association troops to buy the hearts of people of different races.
After all, people hate traitors more than foreign enemies.
