Chapter 670: The Beautiful Present of the Great Ming
The foundation of a country's development is that the people have enough to eat, and it is the issue of food.
Especially now that the population is booming.
You can't always buy from foreign countries, this year we gave a blood transfusion to the political envoy of Vientiane Chengxuan, and only part of it was taken from the treasury of the household department, and most of it was "bought" from North Korea, but how much grain can be produced in the big fart part of North Korea?
In terms of the current productive forces around the world, the Ming Dynasty wants to industrialize, but a large agricultural country is also the way to go.
Lin Cong actually knew these truths for a long time.
Agriculture is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!
If agriculture is not good, and the industry of the Ming Dynasty continues to develop like this, there is not enough food to support the rapid growth of the population, then all the good situations will face the risk of collapse.
Hearing this, he said: "But please rest assured, although the officials of our Ministry of Agriculture do not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and serve the country, but the battlefield of our waiting is the four major experimental bases, and it is the wasteland of the whole country, and the Ministry of Agriculture will build Shandong and Henan into grain production bases as soon as possible, and now Mobei is a Daming pasture, Liaodong and Northeast China do not have to bear the threat of Mobei, they can also be built into grain production bases, plus the already fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, the food problem will not be risky in the short term."
Zhu Jianji hummed, "Did the Ministry of Agriculture go to Liaodong and Northeast China to investigate?"
Lin Cong said: "I went early, the northeast is especially suitable for planting wheat and beans, before the hidden dangers in Mobei are still there, so it is not suitable for development, and now the hidden dangers are removed, and they can be cultivated and planted on a large scale, but they also need to ask the household department to cooperate, and the population needs to be relocated to the past."
Chen Xun got up, "Lin Shangshu just has to speak, all the people in the country who have announced the political envoys, as long as the imperial court issues an order and the household department formulates a preferential policy for relocation, there will definitely be many people who will go to the northeast."
The officials became more and more excited.
Your Majesty is generous!
It seems that it is only the development of agriculture in Liaodong and Northeast China, but in fact it can assimilate the Jurchens and completely eliminate one of the hidden dangers from outside the Guan.
Daming is really going well now, everything is going well.
And the current development model of the Ming Dynasty is also unprecedented, the past dynasties, no matter how wise the Han and Tang dynasties and wise courtiers, I am afraid that they could not imagine that the country can still have such a set of development models.
When Zhu Jianji heard this, he was stunned.
it!
Break into Guangdong?!
In the early and middle Ming Dynasty, there will be a wave of breaking into the eastern part of the country!
He said to Chen Xun and Lin Cong: "Well, the household department will implement the preferential policy for the people inside the customs to go outside the customs as soon as possible, and it is necessary to link with the Ministry of Agriculture, one of the basic policies, the people who go outside the customs will pay for the crop seeds they need in the past few years, and the Ministry of Agriculture will provide them."
The two Shangshu hurriedly received the order.
Zhu Jianji said to Chen Xun again: "In addition, in terms of taxation, it can also be appropriately reduced, and if the treasury allows, it can even be directly exempted from taxation for a few years.
Chen Xun led the order.
Zhu Jianji took a sip of wine and said to the staff of the Bell and Drum Division on the side: "You play the piano and drums, and you must set the tune according to the things I discussed with the courtiers, so as to fit the atmosphere, for example, when discussing agricultural matters just now, you should come to a song of mountains and rivers, and if you are discussing military affairs, you should come to a song of ambush on all sides, then it is very good!"
The staff of the Bell and Drum Division hurriedly knelt on the ground to receive the order.
Zhu Jianji waved his sleeves, "Don't be so restrained, this is just me chatting with you, just joking, you can handle it yourself, after all, in terms of music theory, you are the connoisseurs."
The ministers couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Your Majesty is in a really good mood.
They all joked with the staff of the Bell and Drum Division - in the eyes of His Majesty, the staff of the Bell and Drum Division basically had no status at all, and they were even lower than his chamberlain.
Our Majesty the Emperor Guang'an is really a bit approachable and excessive.
Today's tea party is about everything.
Suncheonfu Yin probably wanted to pat himself on the back and play to Zhu Jianji, saying that such a great thing should be known to all the people, and Suncheonfu planned to publish a list in the world, and organize a three-day garden party in Gyeonggi to enjoy the whole world.
When Zhu Jianji heard this, he said helplessly: "The idea is a good idea, but it is not present
There is good news in Phnom Penh, I heard that Phnom Penh's chief minister, Awa Ze, has entered Yunnan, but it will take a few days to arrive in Gyeonggi, that is, Phnom Penh is still in a big war, the emperor is on tour of the north, and the north is still consuming a lot of food.
I'm not happy with me.
Lao Tzu fought bloody battles on the front line, and as a result, you were extravagant and extravagant and wasteful in Gyeonggi, can you balance your hearts?
Shuntianfu Yin laughed, "Your Majesty don't worry about money, Wechen still has a little thin noodles in Gyeonggi City, this money, Wechen went to the merchants of Gyeonggi, such a prosperous event is the glory of every one of my Ming people, I believe many people will be giving."
When Zhu Jianji heard about it, there was such a good thing.
Greedily, "Then since you want to help the imperial court, can you let them support the armies on the north and south lines, even if it can solve the problem of food and grass for half a month, it is good."
The ministers were speechless.
The army on the southern front was nearly 500,000, and the army on the northern front was also 300,000.
What kind of rich merchant can support half a month's grain and grass for an army of 800,000?
Shuntianfu Yin thought for a while, "Actually, it's not impossible, Weichen will hint to them when the time comes, if there are many sensible people, maybe they can really get together for a month and a half of grain and grass!"
Wealthy businessmen are not limited to Gyeonggi.
It's all over the country!
When the time comes, all Jin merchants, Hui merchants, and Lu merchants will come together, not to mention half a month, a month will be no problem.
Zhu Jianji was overjoyed, "That Aiqing bothered, I agreed to this matter, when the garden party begins, I will bring the queen Bai Carp, the prince Zhu Youzhen and Zhu Youzhen to the garden together, and celebrate with the people!"
Shuntianfu Yin hurriedly received the decree.
mentioned Ava Ze earlier, Lu Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saw that His Majesty had discussed the matter of the garden party, and also got up and said: "Here in the Ministry of Rites, after receiving the secret report from Nanjin Yiwei, he has sent someone to Vientiane Cheng to announce the political envoy and will contact the chief minister of Phnom Penh, but Weichen thinks that Ava Ze may not be able to explain to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and sooner or later he will still have to come to Gyeonggi."
Zhu Jianji said, "Can the Ministry of Rites guess Ava Ze's intention?"
Lu Yule said: "Probably on behalf of the king of Phnom Penh, Slei Raja, he came to His Majesty to surrender, just to want a decent way, or to fight for benefits as much as possible."
After a pause, "Now that we have an absolute advantage, just pinch them!"
Zhu Jianji thought for a while, "If you surrender, it's actually not unacceptable, after all, I even dare to use Suvana Panlang, the prince of Nanzhang, as long as the local government structure is reasonable, leaving one or two of these royal families alive is just a mascot, and it's not a big problem."
