This is actually Yu Qian's second resignation.

But Zhu Jianji just didn't want to agree.

Coming to Daming, it is intended to create the strongest dynasty in the past, as a pig's foot, it always needs an audience to perform on the stage, otherwise a scene for the ages will be performed, and no one will watch and applaud it.

How lonely.

And the best audience is naturally a person like Yu Qian.

The common people don't understand it very well.

The key is that although Yu Qian is old, he is not stupid, and he can still exert his residual heat.

With Yu Qian sitting in the town, Zhu Jianji is relieved.

However, it is true that Yu Qian has to reduce his workload, a seventy-two-year-old man, he can't be consumed by trivial things, and now that Daming is actively expanding, all the armies of Daming will face restructuring, and the left and right servants are busy flying, so they really can't share too much for Yu Qian.

Yes, the military department has added a scholar.

Saying this, Yu Qian couldn't insist anymore.

In order to take care of him, His Royal Highness has agreed to add a scholar, and if he insists on resigning, he will be a little ignorant.

Zhu Jianji simply told Yu Qian what he thought in his heart, and said: "Yu Shaobao, this time you have also witnessed the power of Dongfeng firearms, if it is not surprising, the Dongfeng firearms series will continue to improve, and there will be stronger Dongfeng firearms, and the next one to focus on building is the steam engine, once this steam engine is developed, Dengzhou Shipyard will immediately launch the steel battleship project, in fact, this project has been started a long time ago, but the steam engine has not been successfully developed, so it has been shelved." If the steam engine is successfully developed, the Ming navy will be able to grow rapidly and become a young army on the sea. ”

Yu Qian asked, "What is a steam engine?" ”

Zhu Jianji explained: "Now the warships of the whole universe are basically driven by wind and manpower, with wind and without wind, the combat power of these warships is very different, and once the steam engine developed by the Donggong Military Research Institute is successful, even if there is no wind in the future, the battleship can sail quickly, and can even attack against the wind, completely changing the situation of naval warfare, in addition, if the steam engine is successfully developed, the navy of the Ming Dynasty - well, it is mainly the South China Sea Fleet established based on Taiwan's Huilong Camp - then again, The South China Sea Fleet will be split into two fleets in the South China Sea and the East China Sea in the future. What does it mean that the South China Sea Fleet, which was formed on the basis of the Huilong Battalion, will have steel warships? Not afraid of fire attack, ignoring ordinary firearms, if you put heavy firepower and light and heavy machine guns on the steel battleship, Yu Shaobao, imagine that in the entire fleet of Wanbang, whose fleet made of wood can withstand the attack of such a steel battleship? ”

Yu Qianru listened to the Arabian Nights, "The battleship made of steel, combined with the firepower and heavy artillery that appeared in the First Battle of Baihe, is indeed a bit low-profile, but can a steel battleship be as fast as a wooden battleship?" ”

Zhu Jianji said: "Faster, stronger!" ”

Yu Qian bowed slightly, "If it can be successfully developed, it will naturally be a good thing, but do we have the money?" ”

Zhu Jianji asked rhetorically, "Does Yu Shaobao think that I am still poor now?" ”

Yu Qian woke up and sighed seriously: "Open the sea, promote the treasure banknotes, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will make these two moves, which can be comparable to the same track book and the same text of the first emperor's car, which is convincing!" ”

Daming is no longer poor.

Even a little rich.

Open the sea, let the Ming Dynasty's tax growth in a stepwise manner, the promotion of treasure money, and the crazy convergence of folk gold and silver, even the gold and silver of foreign countries have not been spared.

The key is that after the treasure money was promoted to foreign countries and formed a circulating currency between all nations, the Ming Dynasty harvested not only gold, silver and pearls from foreign countries, but also a large number of materials.

Because treasure banknotes are paper for the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that it was issued by the Ming Dynasty, and it has the intangible value of the Ming Dynasty's national credit attached to it.

The Ming could plunder gold, silver, and resources through treasure money.

But for the sake of long-term solutions, the credibility of the treasure banknotes must be guaranteed.

The system of returning the county kings to the feudal domain, which began last year, has solidly solved the embarrassment of the state to raise tens of thousands of pigs, saved a lot of money and grain for the national treasury, and weakened the threat of the feudal king to the central power.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty is now small and rich, and if it continues, it will be richer than the Great Song Dynasty.

The key is that the current wealth of the Ming Dynasty is different from that of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Great Song Dynasty was rich in the elite class, the state and the scholars.

The opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty will slowly promote the development of all industries in the country, and eventually lead to the people slowly becoming rich.

It is the prosperity of the whole people!

Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "So the problem of money is not a problem at all, the biggest problem lies in the population that skyrocketed in the later period, how to solve the food problem, medical problem, education problem and employment problem, if these problems are not solved, the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty will drag itself to death, the education and medical problems are easier to solve, the food problem is not difficult, sweet potatoes have been promoted, and Zhancheng rice is also vigorously promoted, the most difficult is the employment problem, so the Ming Dynasty needs to expand, through the expansion of domestic demand, to solve the employment problem of the population surge, In this way, a virtuous circle can be formed, and after the end of the expansion, Daming will inevitably have greater industry demand in order to operate overseas, which complements the population explosion! ”

Yu Qian's blood boiled when he heard this, "Your Highness thought so a long time ago?" ”

Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "I didn't expect it at the time, but with the development of the situation, some problems slowly emerged, and these theoretical analyses gradually came to Lone's heart. ”

The governance of the country is really not as simple as imagined.

The most immediate problem: If the population increases dramatically and the problems of food and employment cannot be solved, the people will have no livelihood and the people will rebel.

The state will decline.

Now the industrialization and expansion of the Ming Dynasty can just absorb a large number of people.

He also said: "So the fight against the Jurchens, Mobei and Annan is not the end, but just the beginning, and the next is the entire Indochina Peninsula, Japan, and Korea, which the Ming Dynasty must control, and use the resources of these places to continue to strengthen the Ming Dynasty, so that the comprehensive national strength of the Ming Dynasty will always be a few positions ahead of Wanbang." ”

Yu Qian was silent for a while, "In this way, His Highness's expansion can actually be regarded as forced?" ”

Zhu Jianji said: "It can be said that it can be said that it is not." ”

Expansion is for the sake of resources.

It is also for the digestion of the population.

It is a mutual cause and effect that promotes each other.

Yu Qian was worried and wanted to stop.

Zhu Jianji said: "Lone knows that Yu Shaobao's worries are that he thinks that there is a suspicion of being reckless, and there will be a lot of casualties in the expansion war, so this is what Lone will discuss with Shaobao next, that is, in the next two or three years, all the armies will be restructured, and according to the model of the young army, all the armies will be equipped with Dongfeng firearms." ”

After a pause, "In the first battle of Baihe, Wang Yue sent a battle report, and our army lost more than 2,000 people. ”

Said: "This battle loss will be the norm of the Ming Dynasty's expansion war in the future, and this battle loss is still because the Jurchen has Dongfeng rifles, if we do not have Dongfeng rifles for the object of expansion, or when our firearms continue to develop, this battle loss will be lower, and even the feat of destroying a country with zero war damage!" ”

Yu Qian was in high spirits for a while, and said: "The whole army is equipped with Dongfeng firearms, which ...... It's hard. ”

The country does not have so much steel.

If this goal is to be achieved, the amount of steel and gunpowder needed will be a terrifying number.
