Uprooted from home, thousands of miles away.

This is also a matter of mouthful for Emperor Zhu, who lives in the picturesque Jiangbei Palace.

But for the officials and immigrants below, a careless accident can be fatal.

Emperor Zhu didn't care about the death of a few people on the road.

Anyway, it wasn't his family who died, and as for the war after arriving at the place, it didn't matter, Daming had guns and cannons.

Isn't it just a little indigenous?

The guns were killed casually.

But for those who have experienced this great migration firsthand.

Traveling thousands of miles is indeed not a particularly pleasant experience, and for most people, it is painful to return.

Jinshan Governor's Palace, the mouth of the Jinshan River is about 100 miles inland.

It's already a wilderness.

The rain crackled down like a knife.

Lightning and thunder rolled between the dark clouds.

Not far away, you can see electricity falling from the sky.

In such an environment, the migrants of the brigade are walking forward one foot at a time.

Li Zhongyi was in the crowd, the muddy road had already stained the official boots with yellow mud, and the big red robe official uniform on his body had also been soaked with muddy water.

He was carrying a wooden stick in his hand, a musket on his shoulder, and a bayonet in his waist.

Just in such weather.

This musket was basically useless.

At the same time.

A company of garrisons in the Governor's Mansion was responsible for escorting the group of immigrants to their destination.

On both sides of the road, the soldiers of the Ming army were armed with spears and sabers, staring at the surroundings with fierce eyes, as if they could charge at any time.

This is the edge of the Jinshan estuary.

And this group of immigrants is new, numbering more than 500 people.

This large group of immigrants was to be stationed in a valley plain, some distance from the city of Jinshan

The reason why a collective farm was arranged in that place was that iron and coal mines were found there!

Iron ore and coal mines next to the estuary have unproven reserves.

But if the Jinshan Governor's Mansion runs a steel industry here.

That is undoubtedly enough for the Jinshan Governor's Mansion to gain a foothold here.

Therefore.

This collective farm was not so much a farm as a military household guard.

Now the Jinshan Governor's Office is ready to bid in Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Recruit steel companies to settle in.

And before that.

This area must be firmly controlled.

And Li Zhongyi, as a tuntian official, ended up with this drudgery and took people to build a village there.

It's really not a peaceful place,

The indigenous people of North America are very fierce.

If you're not careful, you might lose your life there.

But Li Zhongyi can't help it.

He thought he would be able to go back after a trip, but now. He was seconded to the Jinshan Governor's Mansion as an official.

I don't know how many unlucky people will be like him in the future.

"Hurry up, get out of here before it gets dark!"

Li Zhongyi said loudly.

It's just that his voice is pouring down in the heavy rain, and not many people can hear it clearly.

The Jinshan Governor's Mansion was pouring rain.

The Jiangbei Palace in Zhongdu was also shrouded in heavy rain.

Today, Emperor Zhu did not go to the Qinzheng Hall to deal with government affairs, but enjoyed the autumn rain with several concubines on the pavilion of Sun Moon Lake.

"Zhao and Jin are both big families in North Korea, they don't dare to oppose the emperor's will to rate the land on the surface, but in the bottom of their hearts they are definitely not happy, there must be two hearts, if they find an opportunity, I'm afraid."

Queen Luo Fangmei said with a frown, her tone a little solemn.

Compared to Emperor Zhu.

Empress Luo is really a queen with the style of a "traditional virtuous queen".

took care of the harem in an orderly manner, and at the same time fulfilled his responsibilities to the princes and princesses.

Now she cares about the affairs of North Korea, and it is also because the fourteenth prince will be the king of North Korea in the future, so as the nominal mother of the fourteenth prince, she should also care about it.

Zhu Daohua is worried about this.

He said with a smile: "After my reform, the two classes of wealthy families in North Korea will decline, if you are honest as a courtier, you can still keep your wealth and nobility, if you have any intentions, then you are looking for death!" ”

Of course, Zhu Daohua is also concerned about his son's future.

The purpose of the land reform in the DPRK is to take back power from the two classes in the DPRK.

The feudal forces in the Ming Dynasty must be cleaned up, and the unfashionable feudal forces in North Korea must of course be cleansed.

Unlike China, the essence of the feudal system in Korea was the dictatorship of the nobles.

The so-called imperial examination is nothing more than a fig leaf used to cover up the rule of the scholars.

The imperial examinations in North Korea are divided into three categories: liberal arts, martial arts, and miscellaneous.

Only two classes of households can participate in the Chinese martial arts examination, and civilians can only participate in miscellaneous subjects, and even if they pass the examination, they have no future.

The civil and military imperial examinations are also respected by the liberal arts examinations, and the names are also copied from China, and there are students, lifters, and jinshi.

And it is easier than the Chinese imperial examination, because North Korea has far more Jinshi admissions than China.

However, winning the Jinshi does not mean that there is a good future, the key is to rely on reincarnation, if you vote in a wealthy family like Anton Jin's and Fengyang Zhao's, they are basically three exams, and they are guaranteed to be big officials after the exam.

The catty in it is naturally self-evident......

Therefore, the "bourgeois revolutionary" line designed by Emperor Zhu for Korea was to completely sweep away the forces of the two wealthy families.

Cancel their privileges!

Divide their land!

Deprive them of power where they rule over the people!

However, while suppressing the two classes of wealthy families in North Korea, the imperial examination system in North Korea still needs to be preserved.

Moreover, it is necessary to refer to the current rules of the Ming imperial examination for reform.

The three-branch system will no longer be introduced, and the future Joseon Kingdom will also need a large number of local grassroots officials to directly manage the people, rather than the disguised lordship system in which the people and land are handed over to the gentry.

"In addition, select a few officials from the two classes that have not settled down in the North Korean parliamentary government, let Jian'er accept their daughters as concubines, and let them be Jian'er's right and left hands in North Korea in the future."

The politics of this era.

Marriage is of course also an important part of this.

Most of the literati in North Korea come from two classes, but not all of them are wealthy families.

There are also a lot of Mo settlements.

So these people are still relatively easy to control.

"Minister, Li Shangdian, long live my emperor, long live long live."

On the next day.

Zhu Daohua met with a North Korean official.

His name is Yi Sang-dian, and he is said to be a talented Korean poet.

Now he is speaking the Nanjing official dialect very fluently, admonishing the emperor.

Yi Sang-dian was also born in the two classes of Korea, from the Lixing Yi family, whose ancestors were envoys sent to Goryeo by the Song Dynasty and settled in Korea more than 400 years ago.

In fact, many of the North Korea's high-ranking families have relatively close ties with China.

Even if you are not close, you will find a way to have a little relationship with Handi.

In addition, in North Korea, Chinese characters are used for both official documents and imperial examinations.

Therefore, the civil servants of the DPRK actually have a high level of Chinese and Chinese.

Yi Sangdian was the foreman of the music of the Joseon King Yi Su, who paid tribute to Zhu Daohua.

In its current terms, he is a director who is responsible for directing a cabaret show.

In fact, Emperor Zhu was not very interested in Korean songs and dances.

Occasionally, however, I would accompany the concubines to see the dances choreographed by the Korean people who were good at singing and dancing.

Li Shangdian didn't know what kind of luck he had, and he was able to meet Emperor Zhu alone.

"That's your daughter?"

Emperor Zhu pointed to the little girl in Concubine Li's arms.

"What's her name?"

"Back to the emperor, the little girl's name is Li Yuzhen"

Emperor Zhu nodded, and then looked at Empress Luo, who was sitting on the other side.

After all, it is to marry the prince, and of course the queen has to come to take a look.

Queen Luo was not too satisfied.

She looked at Li Yuzhen for a while, this little appearance was more than a little worse than Emperor Zhu's daughters.

But that's not surprising.

This Li Shangdian is also mediocre-looking, and he is not a big family, so it is estimated that he will not be able to marry a good-looking wife.

If this can give birth to a red face and trouble, I'm afraid it won't be a genetic mutation.

"Be a side concubine for Jian'er." Empress Luo doesn't seem to want a not-so-good-looking woman to be the concubine of the fourteenth prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Zhu nodded, looked at Li Shangdian, who understood a little, and said: "The king of Joseon, Li Zheng, has no queen, and the rest of the Joseon royal family has no virtue, I plan to let my fourteenth prince Zhu Yijian, who is also the grandson of the king of Joseon, be the king of Joseon, and I also want your daughter to be the side concubine of the fourteenth prince, are you willing?" ”

"Yes, the minister can't ask for it."

Li Shangdian's face was overjoyed and he hurriedly kowtowed.

He also knew that the fourteenth prince was going to be the king of Joseon.

's daughter became the side concubine of the king of Joseon, so the Li family is a relative.

"Then leave her in the palace to raise her, Li Shangdian, she is now my in-laws, what do you think about North Korea?"

Li Shangdian probably didn't expect Emperor Zhu to ask him about these things, so he had to think about it for a long time before he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if the fourteenth prince is the king of Joseon, then the Dongxue Party may support the side branch of the Li Dynasty as the king. ”

"Really? Li Chao has ruled Korea for more than 400 years, but does he still have appeal? ”

"There is not much appeal, after all, it is not a one-size-fits-all line." Li Shangdian said, "And the DPRK has always been the minister of China, and His Majesty is the king of China, and he has the title of righteousness and righteousness. ”

Zhu Daohua nodded.

Of course, there is some truth to this statement.

At least.

Starting from the Confucian righteousness.

Their king of the Li Dynasty was originally canonized by Zhu Yuanzhang, a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, not the king of an independent country. Emperor Zhu's abolition of the king of the Li Dynasty was tantamount to cutting the feudal domain, and he did not abolish the king of Joseon, but only replaced the Li Dynasty with the Zhu Dynasty. Of course, it was appropriate for the emperor to change the king of the vassal state, and the Korean Confucian scholars had nothing to say.

"As far as the minister knows, the goal of the Donghak Party is to abolish the privileges of the two classes of wealthy families, punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and divide the land and ...... of Korea equally."

"So their spearhead is two classes of wealthy families?"

Li Shangdian smiled bitterly, he himself was a member of the two classes, although he was not settled - of course, this was before Emperor Zhu announced that his daughter would be a Korean concubine.

"There are a very large number of two-class households in North Korea, accounting for more than sixty percent of the entire population of North Korea, and most of them are frustrated two-class households with no power and powerless, and they do not have much land and property."

"In this way, if the reforms I enact are missed, we will also get the support of the two classes of frustrations?"

"Exactly!"

Li Shangdian said.

"If the emperor announces the equal division of land in various parts of Korea, the abolition of the privileges of the two classes, and then sets the time for the imperial examination, most of the Dongxue Party will disperse on their own, and the remaining thieves can also be wiped out in one fell swoop."

"It doesn't matter if they disperse or not, it's easy for me to calm them." Emperor Zhu waved his hand and said.

"Speaking of which, this equal division of land is quite popular in North Korea, and the Donghak Party can gather millions of people with this slogan."

Hearing this question, Li Shangdian's face became tangled.

"Your Majesty, the Korean country is small and the people are weak, and they all think of China as their father, and they follow the Celestial Empire in everything, but this divides the land equally."

"The Celestial Empire has its own national conditions, and the policy of equal division of the Korean land is not applicable to the Celestial Empire."

Li Shangdian said in his heart: What is applicable and not applicable, you are not distressed about separating people's land, and you can divide your own family

Seeing Li Shangdian, he was silent.

Emperor Zhu smiled and said: "The population of the Celestial Empire is unevenly distributed, most of them are concentrated in the Han land, and the rest of the land in the Northeast, Mongolia, the Western Regions, East Siberia, and the Nanyang Islands are all vast and sparsely populated, and the land that can be cultivated adds up to more than the Han land, so the Celestial Empire has land to distribute to the poor, and the per capita cultivated land of the Han is about three acres. ”

There is also a lot of land in the Ming Dynasty.

According to the estimates of the Ministry of Agriculture.

South of the Outer Khingan Mountains.

Including the vast plains of the Heilongjiang River basin and the Songhua River basin, about 650 million mu of land can be reclaimed, and there is a plain with large rivers flowing through the outer Xing'an Mountains.

Although the climate is a bit colder.

But it's only cold in winter, and the summer and autumn seasons are similar to those in Heilongjiang, and it's also a rare black soil, and you can also grow a set of wheat.

Also in the South Seas.

The island of Java will be able to feed hundreds of millions of people in the future!

There is a lot of rain and a lot of fertile volcanic mud.

The yield of rice is staggering, and at least three crops of rice can be grown a year.

In the Western Regions, the Southern Desert and the Northern Mongolia, nearly 100 million acres of fertile land can be reclaimed!

Not counting the New World.

The Ming Dynasty expanded the fields around it.

There are more reclamations than the entire Han land combined!

And that's not even counting Australia and the New World.

Large-scale out-migration has greatly eased the pressure of the country's population increase, while also reducing the demand for food.

So.

A question that the original Chinese did not dare to imagine arose - what to do if there is too much food?

Food is really much.

The output of 2.4 billion mu of cultivated land is bound to be greater than 1.2 billion mu, and in addition to 2.4 billion mu of arable land, there is no less than this amount of grassland producing beef and mutton, so the supply of food is likely to be insufficient and turn into a serious surplus.

So now in Han China, unless, like Li Zhongren, engage in intensive farms.

For example, the previous farming model of small families no longer has much room for survival.

The price of food is too low, and it is grown at a loss!

The expansion of the Ming Empire brought with it a large number of collectivized capitalist farms, and the grain produced by these farms severely affected the Han market, causing large numbers of small farmers to go bankrupt and move to cities or to new lands far away.

As a result, Han agriculture began to embark on a model of land-intensive capitalist production.

Therefore, it is impossible for the Ming Empire to divide the land equally, and it is impossible to suppress the land annexation.

Emperor Zhu was even encouraging and promoting this process.

Liberate large numbers of people from refined agricultural production, make them workers, become colonizers.

But the DPRK that was attached to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it can be developed slowly by dividing the land equally.

It doesn't matter if you embark on the road of industrialization later, anyway, no imperialists will dare to attack North Korea.

And after the industrialization process of the Ming Dynasty is basically over, there will inevitably be capital inflow into North Korea.

In the future, Korea will also become a region under the Ming Empire system to undertake the industrial division of labor, so as to complete the industrialization transformation.

However, the path taken by the DPRK is inevitably different from that of the Ming Dynasty.
