Chapter 416: I'm tired of my father
With the current social productivity of the Ming Dynasty, it is simply not enough for the imperial court to send money, build schools, and build orphanages on a large scale.
If you don't have enough resources, you have to get them from outside.
The previous conquest of Goryeo, Wa Kingdom, and Usizang had also achieved very obvious results, and the Ming Dynasty gained huge benefits.
Grain, gold and silver stocks, the people's sense of belonging.
The huge benefits obtained from the outside have allowed Zhu Yuanzhang to let go of his hands and feet and implement more policies to benefit the people.
He even raised the salaries of all officials in the DPRK and China.
Before the large-scale cultivation of potatoes, the domestic productivity of the Ming Dynasty was even lower, and the low was outrageously.
The yield of rice, wheat and other grains is all low.
The yield per mu is only about 300 catties.
In the event of a natural disaster, the people will starve to death.
However, after the large-scale cultivation of potatoes, the current situation of starving people to death at every turn is solved, but it is far from enough.
It is estimated that only when hybrid rice is cultivated, the people will really not worry about food and clothing.
Social productivity has been improved by leaps and bounds.
Although the steam turbine invented by Qin Yu has now been applied to the textile industry of the Ming Dynasty, which has made the textile industry of the Ming Dynasty develop unprecedentedly, it is worn, and what is worn is far less important than food.
The low social productivity and the fact that the people have been hovering on the verge of hunger all their lives are also the reason why the ancient feudal dynasty could not be strong and lasting.
If there is not enough wealth at home, it can only be compensated for by plundering from the outside.
The ministers knew this.
But no one objected, after all, for every country captured by generals who were on a foreign campaign, they had to raise their salaries. Now those military generals are their gods of wealth in the eyes of civil officials.
"After the above three basic policies for governing the country are announced to the world, let all provinces implement them as soon as possible." Zhu Yuanzhang said
"In addition, the generals who will fight in the southwest, we will select the generals according to the strategy they submit."
"Scatter!"
The day-long court meeting finally came to an end.
The feet of the ministers were numb.
However, after the dispersal of the dynasty, the crowd was still talking one by one. Because the emperor announced three major events today, one is to expedition to the southwest, the second is to open a school, and the third is to open an orphanage for the elderly.
Everything is big.
It's not a trivial matter.
It is closely related to the life of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
A small decision of the imperial court will cause changes in the world, let alone a major policy?
However, the ministers are more willing to discuss who will lead the troops to the battle, after all, they will be able to increase their wages if they win. Therefore, the main topic of discussion after their dispersal was to choose who would be more secure.
……
The other courtiers were free to chat there, but Liu Bowen was not.
He now has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, not only to manage the Jixia School Palace, but also to supervise hundreds of officials and clean up those black sheep.
Therefore, as soon as he left the court, he avoided the crowd and hurried back to the Earl's Court.
"Father, your face is ugly, could it be that you are sick, do you want to let your son invite Lang Zhong to come?" As soon as he walked into the Earl's Palace, his son Liu Lian saw his father stumbling and floating on his feet.
"It's okay, it's tiring for my father." Liu Bowen said, sitting on the chair.
Liu Lian hurriedly handed over a cup of tea to relieve his fatigue.
"My father is over 60 years old this year, and the court meeting has been going on all day." Liu Liandao, "It's better to go and ask my father for a Langzhong, now the doctor has moved into the Jixia School Palace, and the Qihuang Holy Hands from all over the country are inside." ”
"Let them come and have a look, and it will definitely make my father better."
"The current medical college, in order to strengthen its own momentum and recruit more students, has many apricot forest masters. They all carried out free clinics in Yingtianfu City, and it was very convenient to find them. ”
"It's all said, being a father is not a disease, it's a burden." Liu Bowen said, "Ordinary drug treatment is useless, and it is estimated that only health preservation techniques are useful." ”
"Father is the vice president of the Jixia Academy, and it's okay to ask the sloppy immortal, one of the three sages, for some health preservation techniques, right?" Liu Liandao.
"Ask him for health treatment?" Liu Bowen smiled bitterly, "Although my father is the vice president, it is difficult to see a sloppy immortal, do you think he, the three sages, is easy to see?" ”
"The last time he preached to the students for a few hours, he drifted away, and his father didn't even see his face."
"Do you think that an existence like a sloppy immortal can be seen casually by the vice dean? He is a dragon who sees the head but does not see the end, and sees that he wants to pay attention to good fortune. Before the establishment of the Jixia School Palace, it was difficult for the emperor to see him. ”
"Alas!" Liu Lian sighed, "It's hard to even meet the three sages, let alone see the dean." ”
"yes." Liu Bowen sighed, "The two of them don't seem to be people in the world. ”
"Is Father feeling better now?" Liu Lian asked.
"It's not that my father is tired, standing and listening to a one-day court meeting, thinking that my father's physique can still support it, after all, being a father is not so old." Liu Bowen said, "It's tiring to be a father." ”
"Why are you tired?" Liu Lian asked in surprise.
"The emperor has entrusted me with the burden of the Jixia School Palace, and let me manage the Jixia School Palace, and the sons of the hundred families. He also entrusted me with the burden of supervising the imperial history, and asked me to clean up those black sheep. Liu Bowen said, "These two are very important positions, and they should be filled by two people." ”
"Therefore, there are two major things that need to be done urgently for my father, one is to go to the Jixia School Palace to hold a conference, and let you send people to the provinces to establish academies, so that farmers can cultivate new varieties."
"The second is to send the inspector Yushi to various provinces to find out the black sheep, and even go in person, and then impose severe punishments."
Liu Bowen is now the boss of the two departments.
He needs to take care of the affairs of both departments, so he feels tired. I feel that I am lacking in skills and powerless.
"The emperor entrusted such a heavy responsibility to his father, which proves that the emperor values his father, and his father should be happy." Liu Liandao.
"What do you value?" Liu Bowen said angrily, "I'm almost tired to death for my father." ”
"Actually, my father wanted to resign from the position of Zhongcheng in the imperial history for a long time, but I didn't bring it up, because even if my father proposed it, the emperor would not agree."
Although there are many talents in the world, and many people can be found who can be qualified for the position of Zhongcheng in the imperial history, Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be able to use him easily, and he doesn't want to change people easily.
"My son thought that my father wanted to resign from his position as the vice president of the Jixia Academy." Liu Liandao, "After all, my father has been serving as the Imperial History Zhongcheng before, and the vice president of the Jixia School Palace has just become the deputy director. ”
There is another reason why Liu Lian did not say that the Jixia School Palace is so brilliant, and Liu Bowen's reputation is not enough to make all the sons and hundreds of families respect. In the final analysis, Liu Bowen is just a Yin and Yang family sacrificial wine.
Far from the Three Sages Ox Fork.
