After confirming the 'subsidy' strategy and finalizing the flow of excess steel due to the rapid increase in production, the next step is to implement the plan.

First of all, if you want to achieve the steel output target of 10,000 to 20,000 tons in three years, you can't just Taiping Iron and Steel Company.

This is not to say that Taiping Iron Mine does not have the potential to carry the production target alone, after all, the reserves of 1 billion tons and the annual output target of 100,000 tons or 20,000 tons are only equivalent to 1/100,000 of the scale of iron ore. The problem is, not to mention the present, even hundreds of years from now, there is another key point to consider, transportation.

Steel is very heavy.

For example, the production of steel in Taiping and the transportation to the north, let's say Shandong, and direct ironmaking in Shandong, in which the increase in cost are simply two concepts.

In practice, of course, this cannot be done.

Therefore, in addition to the Taiping Iron Ore Company, which must also focus on the development, others, at least, all provinces in the Ming Dynasty must also have corresponding official iron-smelting enterprises, so as to 'take local materials' and reduce costs.

Speaking of which, the Daming Iron and Steel Group, which plans to oversee the national steel production, is not only Taiping Iron and Steel Company, but also the Yizhou Iron and Steel Company, which was remotely set up in Yizhou, Shandong Province when Zhu Yuan was in Mingzhou.

Also supporting is Yizhou Coal Company.

Both companies are operating very well, not only providing a large amount of coal and steel for the army in front and Mingzhou in the rear, but also helping Shandong solve some of the problem of displaced people, which are all templates that other provinces can refer to in the future.

Secondly, another inspiration came out of the discussion, which was finalized by Lao Zhu on the spot.

The subsidy for steel can be combined with the subsequent population and land registration.

Because of tax and other issues, the phenomenon of hiding people and land in the local area was very common in this era. Now, the state is going to give things away for nothing, do you want it? If you want to, you have to register.

The topic extends further.

It's not just steel subsidies, such as education for all, which will be widely promoted in the future, which is also listed in the first three-year plan. So, if your child wants to go to school or not, then you have to register.

Chinese obsession with education......

Just take Lao Zhu as an example, the Zhu family belonged to the bottom of the society that was cultivated everywhere, and it was better than the lower level of the homeless people, even so, Lao Zhu was still sent by his parents to study in a private school when he was a child, although it was only a few months, but it can also be seen that as long as there is a little condition, Chinese parents will not give up the education of their children.

In short, the various policies that follow can actually be linked together and interlocked.

After such a discussion, after steel, it is another topic.

Revision of history.

Now that the dynasty has changed, and even this time it is much more thorough than before, and even the Northern Yuan is gone, so it is time to revise history.

The proposal was proposed by Song Lian.

Regarding this matter, the opinions of the people on the scene were also different, most of them were in favor, but there were also those who were opposed, on the grounds that Mengyuan was a foreign regime and not a Chinese orthodox.

However, Lao Zhu obviously had an idea in his heart, and after a simple discussion, someone would make a decision directly.

Repair!

Zhu Yuan is also in favor of this.

What is China?

Zhu Yuan felt that that sentence could not be more appropriate, it was called 'Yi Di enters China, then China is China'. Since the beginning of the Yanhuang era, the Chinese nation has been continuously integrated for thousands of years.

This time, it's just one more fusion.

In the future, according to Zhu Yuan's plan, there will inevitably be more integration.

In this case, we must now open up the pattern, and we must not be petty and entangled in some messy 'Yidi debate'.

Thinking about these things in his heart, he was pointed out by Lao Zhu, but what Zhu Yuan said was another: "Ancestor, "Yuan History" must be repaired, and it must be repaired very seriously, and it will not hesitate to spend ten or eight years or even longer. ”

Lao Zhu was obviously surprised: "Why? ”

As a super pragmatic pragmatist, Lao Zhu agreed to revise the "Yuan History", just respecting the conventions of the past dynasties, but he never thought of spending ten or eight years doing such a thing.

This has been the case in history.

Compared with the other dynasties, which took decades or even generations to revise, the "History of the Yuan" was completed quickly in only six months, so it became the worst of the 24 histories, and later generations received a 'sloppy evaluation of the Yuan History'.

Zhu Yuan once turned it over, and it was indeed very 'sloppy'.

Many events and figures at that time obviously had a follow-up that was worth recording, such as the expansion of Timur, but as a result, they all came to an abrupt end in the first year of Hongwu, so that later generations wanted to study the Yuan Dynasty, but found that historical materials were really scarce.

Thinking so, Zhu Yuan instructed the courtiers to hang a small world map on the blackboard at the end of the conference table, and then said, "Ancestor, and everyone, take a look at this world map. The territory of the former Yuan Dynasty, counting the major khanates that still exist, spanning tens of thousands of miles, our Ming Dynasty is only one-tenth of it at present. The revision of the "History of the Yuan Dynasty" is equivalent to our recognition of the legitimacy of the Yuan Dynasty, which actually means that as an orthodox successor dynasty, we also have the legitimacy to accept the territory of the former Yuan Dynasty in legal theory. Don't underestimate this legitimacy, this can help us eliminate a lot of unnecessary resistance in the future expansion process of the Ming Dynasty, to put it mildly, a 'legitimacy' is worth millions of troops. ”

The argument comes from an article I read nowhere.

I remember that the article said that Lao Zhu Xiu's "History of the Yuan" was for this purpose, but Zhu Yuan felt that Lao Zhu should not have thought of it so deeply.

Judging from someone's actions such as rebuilding the Great Wall after the founding of the country, when he took the Central Plains and surpassed the Song Dynasty in territory, Lao Zhu was already quite satisfied, and for the rest, someone was more just confirming the name of a vassal domain.

Probably if you are a vassal to me, we will live in peace.

For this reason, Lao Zhu also listed a long list of 'non-conscripted countries' in "Emperor Ming Zuxun".

In the final analysis, this is the limitation of Lao Zhu, or the limitation of most emperors in the entire feudal era, and the most fundamental reason behind it is the limitation of productive forces in the feudal era, which led to the inability of the dynasty to expand.

Indulging in expansion can drag down the country.

This time it was different.

Zhu Yuan has already shown everyone the prospects of the industrial age, and then look at the vast area that spans tens of thousands of miles, I didn't dare to think about it before, but now I ...... Many in the room couldn't help but remember once again something someone had said during the presentation that day.

100,000 troops, 100,000 grains and grass, ten days to reach!

In the future, if there is a train that travels thousands of miles a day, it will indeed only take ten days to travel thousands of miles away.

This was unimaginable in the past.

The current situation is that if it is not a risky attack, the normal march of the army will take half a month. A march of 10,000 miles may take a year and a half.

Let's talk about the concept of 'legitimacy' given by Zhu Yuan, which everyone understands even more.

It's like the sixteen states of Youyun that China has been thinking about for hundreds of years.

This time, it was finally retracted.

Just like when the army arrived in Shaanxi before, the local military town chose to surrender without a fight, on the one hand, it was due to the pressure of the army, and on the other hand, why didn't you feel that it was just a change of dynasty, it was just a family, and if it fell, it would be lowered, which was very legitimate.

Lao Zhu, who was sitting at the top, also felt more reasonable the more he pondered, nodded his head, and subconsciously wanted to speak, but hesitated slightly, but turned to Li Shanchang: "That is the case, Baishu, this matter of revising the "History of the Yuan" is up to you, right?" ”

Lao Zhu's first thought just now was his baby twenty-third grandson.

However, then I realized that Zhu Yuan had enough things, and he was so weak that this matter was ...... There's no need to come in person. After all, Lao Zhu recognized the truth, but Lao Zhu subconsciously felt that he was just killing chickens, and he didn't need a knife.

Lao Zhu also believes that his precious twenty-third grandson will not care.

Besides, this can be regarded as an errand for his brother, so that someone will always feel that he is left out.

Well.

If you still have to get busy, there will be fewer things.

Li Shanchang didn't guess Lao Zhu's specific thoughts, but noticed the subtle change in his father-in-law's movements just now, and understood that he was interested in facing the young man before turning to him.

This made Li Shanchang feel that his own lord still valued his authority.

Just like the Yuan Prime Minister Totoh presided over the revision of the three histories of the Song, Liao, and Jin, this revision of history, according to the practice of the previous dynasty, should be here.

And it's something that can make a name for itself.

After all, he was born as a Confucian scholar, and Li Shanchang inevitably attached importance to some things in his bones, and immediately agreed: "The minister will live up to the trust of the lord." ”

Zhu Yuan really didn't care, and he didn't want to host.

I don't have that energy.

Moreover, I admire Lao Zhu's reaction.

If Lao Zhu had just said that he would be in charge of this matter, he refused, and then transferred it to Lao Li opposite, then the scene would be very embarrassing.

I wanted to stop there, but after thinking about it temporarily, Zhu Yuan continued: "Ancestor, Yuan'er still has some suggestions. ”

Lao Zhu nodded.

Zhu Yuan said: "As the so-called 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent', we just take the opportunity of repairing history, we must fully sort out the places outside the Seychelles and even further to the west." All the subject countries and all the tribes that were covered by the former Yuan, their politics, economy, culture, history, etc., we must collect and compile, the more detailed the better. Fully understand these, and in the future, the Ming Dynasty will send troops to receive those lands, and it will also be able to adapt measures to local conditions and get twice the result with half the effort. ”

Lao Zhu unconsciously raised his arm and nodded at Zhu Yuan: "This is good, good idea," and after speaking, he turned to Li Shanchang: "Baifang, you can write it down." ”

Li Shanchang was subconsciously reluctant.

Zhu Yuan assisted at the right time: "Ancestor, why don't I do this?" ”

Lao Li suddenly showed a look of vigilance.

Lao Zhu got it accurately, waved his hand and said: "It's already given to the hundred rooms, you don't have to fight, take care of your own affairs." ”

Lao Li was instantly moved again.

It's rare that my own lord will still look to himself now.

In the conference room, others watched the interaction between the three monarchs and ministers, some understood, some did not, and some understood wrongly, but no one interrupted.

It wasn't until Lao Zhu gave the order to speak freely that everyone opened their mouths to put forward their own suggestions.

The matter of revising history is finalized, and then the next topic is discussed.

It's noon in the blink of an eye.

Lao Zhu was still unfinished, and the matter was not finished, so he simply asked the imperial dining room to send lunch over, and everyone did not leave, and continued to eat.

I don't forget to care about my baby twenty-third grandson.

Do you want to go back early?

It's a baby, can't be tired.

He also said that he could ask someone to send the meeting minutes back to Zhu Yuan later.

The ancestors are like this, of course Zhu Yuan has to dig out his heart and lungs. For the bright future of Daming, ...... today Don't take a nap!
