Chapter 322: This is my Great Ming
What followed was the impeachment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate for the greed for money in the military.
Huang Kongzhao of the imperial history is sparse, believing that it is natural for soldiers to defend the country and defend the border, rather than serving as soldiers for profit, for a long time, it will make the army develop a bad atmosphere, and even threaten the center before the battle.
The Supervision Department supervised Shi Liu Xuan's sparseness, curbed the bad atmosphere in the army, and strictly prevented the army from forcing the central Yunyun.
For a time, the impeachment of Yu Kang and Cao Yi came like rain, and they all believed that soldiers should not interfere in politics.
also believes that the emperor should not be so pampered in the army, which will contribute to the bad atmosphere in the army.
There is also the imperial history that soldiers should be separated from goods, and those officers who are full of money should be eliminated from the army.
The Ming Dynasty allowed the speaker to speak, and the speech was very free.
Zhu Qiyu announced He Qiaoxin, Qiu Jun, Peng Shao and others.
"Your Majesty, the Northern Army only has merit and wealth in its heart, and it has no great understanding, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to control in the future." He Qiaoxin has always spoken boldly.
Qiu Jun was even more bold: "Your Majesty, now that you are still able to suppress the army, how can you suppress this elite soldier and strong general when you are waiting for you to control Bintian and the crown prince ascends the throne?" ”
Zhu Qiyu squinted at him, and I can't stand your stinky mouth if you change emperors.
is also the Ming Dynasty, no one dares to advise so much in a different dynasty.
"Peng Shao, what do you think?"
Peng Shao has served by the emperor's side for more than a year, and is familiar with the emperor's character, and since the emperor has ordered people to come to discuss matters, he wants to hear the truth.
"I don't think it's as serious as Qiu Xing."
"After all, you are in the prime of life, and any problems in the army can be calmed down by a holy decree."
"It's just that this kind of atmosphere, once formed, will cause great harm and harm future generations."
"Your Majesty, why do I strongly oppose the slaughter of the city, because the soldiers after the slaughter of the city are like beasts, difficult to control, and people's hearts will change because of this, like beasts, it is difficult to control."
"Just as you let go of the restrictions on slavery, and you don't allow the people to accumulate slaves, but you are allowed to accumulate slaves, but you don't know how can those tooth shops have half a conscience? Most of them are Han slaves and fool the government. ”
Peng Shao is really bold, no one dares to uncover this pot.
After all, this was facilitated by the emperor, and after the release of slaves by the people and the opening of the sea, the second decree was the slave release order.
But he directly uncovered it, ignoring the emperor's face.
Zhu Qiyu's face was not good: "What about the army, what are you doing with your teeth?" ”
Didn't the emperor know?
Let's just say that in the eleventh year of Jingtai, how many good people have disappeared? He watches the music every day, what does he not know?
However, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
"Your Majesty, it's the same thing."
Peng Shao said seriously: "Everything has disadvantages and advantages, if you want the soldiers to make a fortune, you have to endure the bad atmosphere of the soldiers going on strike and inviting merit before the battle." ”
"It takes hundreds of years for a good atmosphere to be cultivated, but it can become a bad thing overnight."
Zhu Qiyu glanced at him, you just said that human nature is evil.
"Is there any good way to do that?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty's idea of enriching the army, and the ministers all support it."
"But a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and if he is rich, he must have the right way to get rich."
"If the center encourages robbery and killing, then won't the spirit of hardship and hard work, hard work and hard work cultivated by our Chinese nation for thousands of years be abandoned?"
"Why is my Huaxia, which stretches for 5,000 years, still monolithic?"
"It is because our thinking is a great unification, and the Confucian concept formed from the Qin and Han dynasties, that I can make China, and it will be combined for a long time and passed on."
"If Your Majesty encourages you to rob and kill, then this kind of thinking spreads, won't you be able to claim the king with a sword and a gun? Will there be a time when the country will be stable? ”
Therefore, China will not go to colonization.
The Chinese ideology decided that it would not colonize, and never would be.
Even though the emperor tried his best to promote the idea of colonization, the people of the world still believed that this would cause chaos in the country and the world to fall apart, and prevent colonization.
Only small countries would think about colonizing other countries.
A big country, there is no need to colonize at all.
The big countries themselves wear shoes, and they are most afraid of being colonized by others, not to colonize others.
"Peng Shao, do you mean that I opened up a new world, which is inconsistent with the traditional thinking of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.
Peng Shao's face was fearless: "Your Majesty, the new world is important?" Or is the root of the Ming Dynasty important? ”
Zhu Qiyu's face was not good: "I want it all." ”
"There is no such thing as the best of both worlds."
"If Your Majesty wants a new world, you have to let such ideas spread, and then the Ming Dynasty is very likely to repeat the result of the sudden collapse of the Tang Dynasty."
"How majestic is the Tang Dynasty? The territory is not inferior to Meng Yuan, and the control is much higher than that of Meng Yuan. ”
"But the belligerence will die, and in more than ten years, it has taken a sharp turn and collapsed."
That's right.
The Tang Dynasty was an era of great development of the Han nation, and the era of the majestic Han style was no less than the European colonial tide in the 19th century.
As a result, the Tang Dynasty collapsed violently, if it was just a corner, like the two songs, the Tang Dynasty would not collapse so suddenly.
Mengyuan is different, Mengyuan is completely slavery, only responsible for collecting taxes, and does not care about the place at all, the local area is highly autonomous, so the territory of Mengyuan is amazingly large, but it has little control over the locality, and it is very fast.
Zhu Qiyu wants to control the new territory, and he can't lose the original basic territory.
This is no successful case in the history of China.
Qiu Jun said in a low voice: "The Tang Dynasty died in the disaster of the feudal town, and I really control many provinces far away from the center, aren't these places the new feudal town?" ”
He Qiaoxin agreed: "Your Majesty, the national capital is far from the border, and the maximum time for the decree to arrive is three days, if it is more than three days, the center will not be able to control the border." ”
"You don't have to look at Meng Yuan."
"Mengyuan is different, Mengyuan only collects taxes, regardless of the land, today's gentry trees have big roots and deep roots, which is caused by the Mengyuan era."
"Moreover, Mengyuan is composed of four khanates, like Jiaozhi and other places, and like the Ming Dynasty, they are all Xuanwei Division, and they have never been actually controlled at all."
"If you count the vastness of the dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is the largest, the actual control area is the largest, and the command area is the largest."
"And you, you have expanded the land of several provinces, which can be called the most in history."
"But the minister is worried that the current territory is just a flash in the pan."
The three of you said a word, and Zhu Qiyu said that he was autistic.
is also the Ming Dynasty, allowing the speaker to speak freely, Zhu Qiyu is quite lenient in this regard, allowing people in the world to tell the truth.
Although the truth is hard to hear, I still want to hear the truth.
"Speaking of which, do you also think that the provinces I have gained will be lost when I die?"
Zhu Qiyu raised his eyebrows.
The three of them fell to their knees, not daring to speak.
"I have moved more than 10 million Jiangnan people to the past, can't I actually control the new land?" Zhu Qiyu was very angry.
"Your Majesty, does people's ambition have anything to do with the people of which country?"
Peng Shao said lightly: "Let's just say that since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, how many people have been kings and hegemons?" Aren't they Akito? ”
On the contrary, so many Jiangnan people have been moved, and the probability of chaos is greater.
If you want to be stable, you need to send a large army.
And if the army has been alone for a long time, it will also give birth to dissenting people, and the rebellion of the feudal town is close at hand.
If it's too far, it just can't be controlled.
"Then according to your meaning, I just don't toss? Throw everyone into the sea and sink? "Zhu Qiyu is a scoundrel again.
If you can't say that people are scoundrels, Zhu Qiyu is used to skills.
"Your Majesty, since the ministers support you, you can't give up food because of choking, you can always come up with a perfect solution!" He Qiaoxin kowtowed.
He is different from others, his father He Wenyuan is the emperor's person, and he is a close minister of the emperor, and the wealth of the family is related to the emperor.
"The minister also believes that things are man-made, and there is a solution after all." Peng Shao smiled bitterly.
The territory is too big to manage.
Now it's just coaxing the emperor.
Qiu Jun said: "The minister thinks that it is feasible to divide the new provinces to the kings and let the kings take charge." ”
Obviously, these kings are more than a dozen eldest sons of the emperor.
"The prince is young, so he can build the palace first, let the courtiers take care of it, and then become a vassal when the prince is an adult."
Qiu Jun's solution is the only solution now.
Set up a foreign domain and let the prince be the king.
In fact, it is still China, and if you want to control it, you must have a train.
"Mr. Qiu, do you still want to repeat the Battle of Jingjing?" Peng Shao felt that this was a bad move.
"It's the only way."
Watching the three of them quarrel, Zhu Qiyu found that it was not this matter that was discussed today, and they were led crooked.
"Zhuqing, listen to the meaning of the others, it seems that these provinces are crumbling, I am still there, I can't lose it."
Emperor Tang Ming also thought so back then, but what was the result?
Zhu Qiyu exploded: "Will I be deaf in old age?" ”
The problem is that these three are not small, and they even speak to anyone, as if to say: Yes!
Zhu Qiyu was angry: "Sooner or later, I will be angry and violent by a few of you villains. ”
"At that time, please kill your majesty first!" Peng Shao was stunned and kowtowed heavily.
"Get out!"
Zhu Qiyu slowed down for a long time, and felt ridiculous, so he didn't get angry with them:
"I am only established this year, and when I am faint, it will be at least twenty years later, these provinces are still in the twenty years of the Ming Dynasty after all, right?"
"Isn't it possible that in twenty years, we can't think of turning these provinces into introspections?"
"Speaking of which, it's a matter of distance."
"As long as the distance in the world is shortened, those provinces can only rot in the pot of Daming in the end."
There is a shortage of trains.
Seeing that the emperor was not angry.
Peng Shao became even bolder: "If Your Majesty is unconscious, and no one advises Your Majesty, please punish Your Majesty for all the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Supervision Department!" ”
"Do you want to be angry?"
Originally, it was all revealed, but Peng Shao didn't open which pot to mention!
Zhu Qiyu looked at Peng Shao and the others: "That's it, before I faint, I should have killed all of you, and I won't bother with a few dead people." ”
"Peng Shao, then do you say that I am not Mingjun now?"
Peng Shao respectfully kowtowed: "Your Majesty is diligent and loves the people, and Ren Xian is innovative." Worship the unification as a saint, and be humble like a valley, internal affairs are clear, and the power strategy is good at war, and he is like Tang Taizong! ”
"Since I am still a Ming monarch, why don't you take advantage of my loyalty and forgiveness to be loyal to the country?"
Peng Shao actually rolled his eyes, any good word can describe you, but loyalty and benevolence are not enough, how many people have you killed over the years? Didn't count it in your heart?
"The ministers are willing to do their best for Your Majesty." Peng Shao and others kowtowed.
Zhu Qiyu has a clear personality, great advantages, and equally huge disadvantages.
Rigid and suspicious, ruthless and fierce, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, he loves the people on the surface but actually loves power, and he is particularly afraid of death.
"Then let's go back to the problems in the army." Zhu Qiyu knew in his heart that as long as the train appeared, the distance could be shortened.
He has established the Academy of Sciences, and it is only a matter of time before talents from all over the world are admitted to the academy and the science and technology tree is ordered.
As long as he lives long enough and is not deaf, he will be able to turn the provinces into the interior.
Therefore, he wants to extract oil and build a road with asphalt, and build it all over the world, shortening the distance under heaven.
"The minister does not approve of the northern army going south to rob the old Cambodia for credit." He Qiaoxin said directly.
Qiu Jun and Peng Shao also disagreed.
But Zhu Qiyu was thinking that it would not hurt to transfer a group of northern troops, the northern army was strong enough in combat and would definitely be more clever than the people in Jiangnan.
Like Laos, there are few cities, they are scattered in villages, some of which are extremely difficult to walk, and some are near mountains and forests.
Transferring the northern army to the north can solve the problem once and for all.
After all, these are the elites of the Ming Dynasty.
sent the three of them away, and invited Hu Hu again.
"Lao Chen thinks that it is better to transfer the northern army than to recruit the people, after all, these people who want to emigrate, have a lot of grievances against the center, once they are given weapons, I am afraid that the land of Lao Cambodia will never be peaceful."
Hu Hu feared that these people would grow bigger in the local area and break away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
"Tune it up, let Yu Kang lead the troops!"
The emperor clapped the board.
Yu Kang was chosen, mainly because Yu Kang had experience in slaughtering cities, and he wanted Yang Xin to go, but Hu Hu thought that there were too few generals around the emperor and needed Yang Xin to defend him.
Zhu Qiyu put Yang Xin into the palace and appeased him.
Transferred 200,000 troops from the north to the south to Cambodia to make money.
Now.
Xiang Zhong sat in the Ryukyus and sent a number of envoys to various forces of the Wa Kingdom with gifts, mainly wanting to recruit troops in the Wa State.
The King of the Ryukyus was respectful to Xiang Zhong, after all, this angel's official position was a bit high.
Xiang Zhong is the chief officer of the Bohai Sea Division, in charge of 150,000 water divisions.
There is also a very high Wenxun, who is the second product and is the ruling minister.
During Xiang Zhong's stay in the Ryukyus, he helped the Ryukyus defeat the Japanese invaders several times, allowing the Ryukyu king Shangdeok to see the ability of the Great Ming Marine.
I heard that such a sailor is as high as 700,000!
The Ryukyuan people originally did not have a surname, but it was given to them by the Ming Dynasty, and now in power in the Ryukyus is mainly the thirty-six Fujian surnames that Emperor Taizu En'en allowed to enter the Ryukyus.
The Ryukyus are small, but the strategic location is extremely important.
After Xiang Zhong entered the Ryukyus, he set up a ship and turned around, and found that this place was worthy of being called Wanguo Jinliang, and the eastern and western trade had to pass through this place, and it was still a strategic point to hold the Japanese country hostage.
Tsushima Island to the north and Ryukyu to the south, the Wakoku Kingdom is sandwiched between them like sandwich biscuits.
He did not enter the Wa Kingdom, mainly coveting this place.
I heard that Guo Deng and the three of them defeated Cambodia, and if he persuaded Ryukyu to merge into the Ming Dynasty, the credit would definitely be higher than that of Liang Xuan.
Liang Xuan was really depressed, he was idle by the emperor for many years, and turned into a sailor, thinking that he would shine on the Japanese Kou, but the Japanese were recruited, and he could only go to open up Baozhou Mansion.
Xiang Zhong helped Ryukyu recover several islands that had been invaded by the Japanese to demonstrate the strength of the Ming army.
Ryukyu was delicious and delicious for the Ming army, and the Ming army was too much, and the Ryukyu was poor in a few days, Xiang Zhong brought 30,000 troops and hundreds of ships of gifts.
Not many were given to the Ryukyus, and many were given to the major powers of the Wa Kingdom, mainly to recruit soldiers on other people's territory.
Xiang Zhong stayed in Ryukyu for 20 days, and King Shangde went to Xiang Zhong to cry and beg the Ming to support some food.
"Your Majesty, as soon as the heavenly soldiers are used in the Ryukyus, the official will settle the settlement by himself, and there is no need to go down to the country to pay money." Xiang Zhong's tone was not good.
King Shangde wanted to explain, but Xiang Zhong didn't listen.
He ate for another ten days, and then he broke off the Ryukyu diet.
Xiang Zhong led his troops into the royal capital and urged the Ryukyus to supply food.
"Envoy, there is no food in the Ryukyus!" King Shotoku thought about bribing Xiang Zhong with money, but Xiang Zhong lived alone on a small island and did not interact with the Ryukyuan people.
"Your Majesty, this official has said, it's just a temporary stay in Ryukyu, the food of the Ming Dynasty will arrive in a blink of an eye, and I will return it to you at that time."
"Envoy, we really don't have food, I don't believe you can go and find it."
Xiang Zhong was very unhappy: "That's it, Ryukyu doesn't respect the country, and this official doesn't suffer from this nest in Ryukyu, so he will return to the ship immediately, and ask His Majesty to call the shots." ”
"I have delayed Your Majesty's major affairs, and I don't know if you Ryukyu can afford it! Leave! ”
With that, Xiang Zhong left angrily.
On the way, Guo Mao complained a little: "Just take it down, why delay all that time?" A small country, a war swept away. ”
"We still have to do business with the Wa Kingdom, it's best to let the King of the Ryukyus obediently attach the table and send it to the country for glory."
Xiang Zhong saw it far-reaching, why didn't the emperor eat this piece of meat on his mouth?
Because if you want to eat it, you will definitely have a bad relationship with the Wa Kingdom, which is the Warring States Period, the era of the stars, and this era is full of capable people.
The emperor coveted the samurai of the Wa Kingdom and wanted to use them to open up the land of Baiyue.
This is different from Lao Cambodia, these two places are not fat, they are also meat, and they are in a hurry to settle the population, so they have to fight.
Ryukyu is purely a piece of chicken ribs, and the Ming Dynasty can't look down on it, and it's not in a hurry to eat it.
"King, the Ming army is really ready to leave the Ryukyus!"
King Shangde's head exploded with a bang: "What can I do if I offend the kingdom?" ”
The king of the Ryukyus hurriedly went to the emperor to explain.
But he didn't keep Xiang Zhong, because the Ming army was too good to eat, and Ryukyu really couldn't afford it.
Zhu Qiyu received Xiang Zhong's urging for food.
"Xiang Zhong, his strategic vision is excellent, this is a handsome talent."
"Leave the Ryukyus to him, I don't ask."
This little thing, Xiang Zhong will do well.
Waiting to receive the Ryukyus.
The Ryukyus could not accommodate many people, but the strategic location was important enough.
But after the Ming Dynasty occupied the Wa Kingdom, the strategic location of the Ryukyus was not important.
Liang Xuan had already opened up a shipping route, and Zhu Qiyu asked him to go south and open up a route to Luzon.
Zhejiang is also immigrating, moving to Baozhou, to Zhoushan, to the small islands in the sea.
These islands were once occupied by Japanese pirates.
Now that the Japanese are clear, they should move some people up and occupy them completely, these are all offshore waters, and there is not much risk.
Zhejiang's health centers have also been moved from the mainland to the islands.
Not only Zhejiang, but also all coastal provinces are immigrating to the island, hoisting dragon flags and being included in the fish scale book.
"Give Xiang Zhong a message and speed up the recruitment of soldiers."
Zhu Qiyu explained, and then continued to watch other performances.
This year's year is a good year, with a bumper harvest, but the north is too cold, and many livestock in Rehe have froze to death, and the herdsmen have suffered great losses.
Grain prices in the north are stable, and salt prices are slowly declining.
With the birth of honeycomb coal, coal prices fell, but honeycomb coal is indeed not as good as black coal.
Rehe has been completely completed at the end of the year, and the entire Rehe has been completed, and the territory can continue to be pushed out next year to build the Hanzhou Metropolitan Division.
The transportation of wood from the south to the north has benefited the entire north.
Especially after the development of Jiaozhi, tropical timber is cheaper, and people are buying timber to build houses and build cement houses.
The Ministry of Household also counted the number of factories this year, and the number of new factories opened by Jingtai in the eleventh year was as high as 17,000, with a total of more than 30,000, and the business was blowout.
There are also detailed numbers of trees planted, how many were planted, and how many died.
The details of the entire eleventh year of Jingtai are on it.
Zhu Qiyu watched it with relish.
More than 200 cities have been built in Rehe, and 570,000 acres of cultivated wasteland have been reclaimed.
"So much? Li Bing and Wang Shu have made great contributions! ”
Rehe is famous for its canned meat, and after a year of hard work, Rehe has been completely built and is expected to reach self-sufficiency within 10 years.
This speed made Zhu Qiyu very satisfied.
"Has Song Jie arrived?" Zhu Qiyu had sent Song Jie to Gongwei before and asked Liu Pu to go to Rehe.
"Back to the emperor, it's freezing in the north, and those who come by land are much slower." Feng Xiao replied.
"I'll announce him when he arrives, and I'll ask him personally."
Zhu Qiyu read all the situation in Rehe, and said in a deep voice: "There is not much arable land that can be reclaimed in Rehe, and it is difficult to feed too many people, which is a limitation. ”
"I said before that the development of sweaters and pants has achieved initial results by tying the grassland with wool."
"We should increase our efforts to buy breeding sheep from the world's businessmen and improve the breed of sheep."
Zhu Qiyu said while remembering.
After reading Rehe.
Seeing Liaoning, Li Xian has been in Liaoning for three years, opening up a new side to Liaoning, and Liaoning has completely changed from a war-torn thousand miles of uninhabited to a wealthy province.
In particular, Anshan Iron Works has become the top priority of Liaoning.
The business will certainly be able to continue Li Xian's policy, and Liaoning's development will be thriving.
Jilin next to it, under the political and economic means of Wang Lai, has made all ethnic groups submit and moved a group of people, but the population is still very small.
However, the development of Ningxia surprised Zhu Qiyu.
Yuan Jie served as the governor of Ningxia for less than two years, and Ningxia has already built more than half of it, and it is expected that Jingtai will be fully completed by the end of the thirteenth year.
Ningxia is fighting wars, building and developing at the same time.
This year, corn was planted, but a lot of it died, and the harvest was very poor.
The main corn is not adapted to the climate of Ningxia, and it needs to be cultivated slowly, and now the seeds are not so scarce, and there is more time for Ningxia to develop slowly.
Ningxia also makes wool textiles and canned meat, and they do whatever Rehe does, and even trade with the Warat tribes by being close to them, and the business is doing well.
Looking at Gansu again, last year, Gansu was digging wells, planting trees, and building cities.
Gansu, except for Hami, has been fully built.
And it is precisely oil that supports Gansu, which is extracted from Yumen Pass, boiled into kerosene and asphalt, and then transported and loaded into ships, making Gansu prosperous.
Because of oil, this border province has become a province of kerosene lamps, and the world looks at Gansu with kerosene.
Corn is very successful in Gansu, but corn is very fertile, and agricultural fertilizer cannot provide sufficient nutrients for corn, and now Xu Hui is developing fertilizer.
In the eleventh year of Jingtai, Gansu's grain was not only self-sufficient, but also sold to Ningxia in a batch.
"I didn't transfer Fan Guang at the beginning, which is correct."
"Kou Shen is really powerful."
Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with Kou Shen's approach.
After Chen You's death, Man Su'er attacked Hami and Suzhou, and without taking much advantage, Kou Shen made peace with Man Su'er and was willing to trade with Man Su'er.
It's a human trade.
It is not that there is a shortage of people in Gansu, but that there is a shortage of people in construction.
There was nothing else in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and there must be a lot of people, so they started trading with the Ming Dynasty.
Batches of slaves entered Gansu to exploit oil.
Daming is particularly short of oil, and at present, only Yumen and Yan'an have oil, which is not enough to pave the roads of the whole country.
Kou Shen actually sent people to negotiate with Man Suer to do oil trade.
The Eastern Chagatai Khanate actually existed!
In Kuqa (Kuxian), there is an open-pit oil field that has been exploited since the Yuan Dynasty.
Now the Eastern Chagatai Khanate mined and sold to the Ming Dynasty.
Barrels of asphalt from Gansu and Shaanxi were sent to Beijing.
Under the auspices of Yao Kui, three asphalt roads have been built.
One is from Beijing to Tianjin, passing through Tongzhou, Xianghe, Wuqing, to Tianjin, Dagu.
It took 1.7 million people to build the asphalt road, which took seven months to build, and 120,000 slaves and 70,000 civilians died.
One is from Beijing to Chengde, passing through Shunyi, Huairou, Miyun, Chaohe, Luanping and Chengde.
It took 3.2 million men, 14 months to build, and 240,000 slaves died.
One is from Beijing to Zhending, passing through Lugouqiao, Liangxiang, Zhuozhou, Dingxing, Ansu, Qingyuan, Dingzhou, Xinle and Zhending.
It took 2.1 million people, nine months to build, and 40,000 slaves died.
If the three roads are built at the same time, they will be completed before the beginning of winter.
The repairs are all big gallop roads, which can drive four carriages at the same time, belong to four lanes, and there are post stations and military stations on the road, and no one is allowed to come up casually.
"Yao Kui is capable, but he really doesn't save me money."
Zhu Qiyu smiled bitterly, the three roads were built at the same time, which was indeed fast, but the money was really spent.
The main thing is that materials are scarce and there is too little asphalt.
According to the note of the household department, the Yumen Oil Factory and Yan'an Oil Factory employ 7.4 million oil extractors, who work day and night, 570,000 oil boilers, 30,000 transport ships, and 1,700 mud cleaning ships......
Zhu Qiyu doesn't want to watch it, it hurts!
Isn't it true that the people of the northwest are making money?
Fortunately, the labor is low enough, and the asphalt road is set up with a banknote, and if you want to go up, you have to pay for it, and it is expected to return to the cost in ten years.
The Ministry of Industry estimates that asphalt roads can be used for 100 years, and the remaining 90 years are earned.
It is equivalent to the Daming Expressway.
The cost of repairing a mile of land is about 17 yuan, which is 20 taels of silver, which is too expensive.
It's distressing.
Can you stop recruiting so many people and save me some money!
According to Yao Kui's design, in the twelfth year of Jingtai, the main road leading to Liaoning, Shanxi, Shandong and Henan should be built through Beizhili.
If the asphalt is sufficient, the asphalt road will be built directly to Nanzhili.
"Feng Xiao, how much money do you have?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Back to the emperor, after removing the money needed by immigrants, there is still 320 million left."
Fortunately, the foundation of the Jiangnan gentry is thick enough.
"Emperor, if you build roads like this, the money in the interior may not be enough to repair the interior of the Ming Dynasty, let alone the border lands?"
Feng Xiao reminded: "Road construction is only one item, as well as water control, education, and war, all of which are big heads." ”
Zhu Qiyu was a little desperate: "Where is the silver?" ”
"How do slaves know!" Feng Xiao rolled his eyes: "Didn't you say that the Wa State is there?" ”
"The Wa Kingdom is at war, and its combat effectiveness is not weak, so when they break the dog's brain, I will find a way to develop their silver mines."
Zhu Qiyu suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "I can sell armaments to them, let them dig up silver for me!" ”
"Didn't Qiu Jun write about economics? Let Qiu Jun do it, I want to squeeze out the silver of the Japanese country! ”
It's really a loss to build roads.
This is different from the later generations, which used pieces of paper to build roads, and pieces of paper could be printed at will, but silver was not, and silver was counted.
There are also good things.
Zhu Qiyu looked back, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, the estimated income of the treasury this year was 23 million silver, reaching the highest financial level since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
This is still under the condition that several provinces have been exempted from taxes, and it is not the silver of inflation in the late Ming Dynasty, but more than 20 million during the period of severe deflation! The age of super purchasing power!
The main source is commercial tax.
Transporting wood from the south to the north, repairing bridges and repairing roads, various projects have prompted the rise of a group of merchants, the emperor killed on the front foot, and the merchants rose on the back foot.
Commercial tax alone, Daming income of 13 million taels of silver.
It is the most since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Another major taxpayer is the Guangzhou City Bosi.
After the Ming Dynasty demonstrated its national strength, countless merchants came to the Ming Dynasty to trade, although the Ming Dynasty killed people ruthlessly, but things do sell well all over the world, and the world is inseparable from the Ming Dynasty.
In the eleventh year of Jingtai, the net profit of Guangzhou Bosi was as high as 2.7 million taels.
Because the emperor ordered to buy the things of Xiyi on a large scale.
As a result, in the eleventh year of Jingtai, countless Xiyi commodities and books poured into Daming, especially books, which were collected by Daming at a high price.
The second is seeds, which were never sold to the Ming by Portuguese merchants.
But being slaughtered several times by the Ming Dynasty, the Portuguese merchants were honest and sold not only corn seeds, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, peanuts, and cassava seeds.
The price is also high, and the market does not blink, so they buy it directly, and they also buy seedlings and crop seedlings.
In the eleventh year of Jingtai, potatoes and sweet potatoes also appeared in the south.
The central government has decreed that new crops should be popularized throughout the world, and that the whole country should plant new crops on the wasteland.
Dramatically accelerate the popularization of new crops.
A large number of Western books entered the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Qiyu ordered the Siyi Pavilion to translate them and let scholars all over the world study them.
The emperor loves books, and naturally the world loves books.
Xiyi books are flooded in Daming, and there are still many people who learn Yi language and want to go to Xiyi to see.
A large amount of porcelain, silk, and tea were sold to the West.
After the opening of the sea, the Ming Dynasty would loosen the control of goods, allowing merchants to trade with Xiyi privately, but they would need to pay customs duties.
"Guangzhou Bosi is doing a good job."
"Next year, we will add Qinzhou City, Quanzhou City, Baozhou City, Jinou City, Shanghai, Tsushima, Tianjin, Dalian, Dengzhou and Ningbo to increase trade with foreign countries."
"If tariffs and commercial taxes can support the finances, our reform will be a great success."
Zhu Qiyu continued to look down.
The household department also wrote about the prosperity of Guangdong, especially after the Qing Dynasty, and the trade in Guangzhou showed a blowout trend.
Guangxi prospered because of the timber business and road construction, and Guangdong because of foreign trade.
Closing the sparseness.
Zhu Qiyu's heart was surging: "This is my Daming!" ”
"Emperor, the slave maid thinks that the main reason for the development of commerce and trade is the formation of immigration and construction, and these are all you are making money, if you stop immigrating and the construction of the north is completed, commerce and trade will inevitably shrink." Feng Xiao said.
"Feng Xiao, insightful."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "That's right, immigration, city building, and road construction are all I am paying money to subsidize the place, and this kind of prosperity is false prosperity." ”
"Only when I no longer mix with the market, the market is still prosperous, and the Ming Dynasty is provided with enough commercial taxes, will it be truly prosperous."
"However, it can also be seen from the growth rate of factories that people's lives have become better and the demand for daily necessities has increased."
Although Zhu Qiyu doesn't know much about economics, he also knows what prosperity is.
It's either a bunch of houses or prosperity.
To be truly prosperous, there must be primitive accumulation.
But the Ming Dynasty was not a colony at all, but an immigration, and the immigrants not only did not accumulate, but also put money into it, so they could not promote the industrial revolution.
We have to find a way to create a group of cost-free labor, let them work day and night, and all the profits go to the center, so that we can have primitive accumulation.
Slave!
In the Hubu Songshu, the last page says that there were 1.47 million slaves in Jingtai in the eleventh year, and as of the time of transcribing the Songshu, only 270,000 remained.
"You really don't save me money, I paid for these slaves!"
"Spread the message Wang Wei, go and buy again, Siam doesn't sell, just go to Bangladesh and India to buy, there are so many countries in India, there are many people, give money and definitely sell, I buy as much as I want!"
Zhu Qiyu opened the note presented by the Water Control Division.
The first Si Zheng Wu Fu died of illness this year, and he was succeeded by the eunuch Lian Zhong, a eunuch, but he was the chief of the Water Control Division.
The main reason is that Lian Zhongzhen has this talent, and secondly, his mantle inheritance comes from Xu Hui.
It's a long time, and all the circumstances of the year are written in detail, in fact, there is a monthly report every month, and everything will be played in the palace.
These have to be archived, and the Ministry of Households and the Supervision Department have to review them.
The Yellow River should be governed from the mouth of the Yellow River.
Paying for money inside is a waste of money.
Originally, it was used by the people, but later there were slaves, which was a dangerous job, and all the slaves were allowed to work, which also made the Ming people dissatisfied and thought that they had made less money.
Poverty is more terrible than death.
Everyone in the world knows that working for the emperor is the fairest and most stable, and there is no need to worry about not giving money, and there is no need to worry about people dying without pensions.
So many people want to exchange their lives for bereavement benefits.
In the first year, the speed of water control was very slow because the mortality rate was too high.
The following year, after having slaves, progress accelerated.
As of October of the 11th year of Jingtai, the Hetao has been treated, and it is expected that the Yellow River will be completely cured within five years.
But what a slave.
In the eleventh year of Jingtai alone, 760,000 slaves died.
Now that slaves are scarce, the Water Control Department asked the center not to carry out massacres and transport slaves to the Yellow River.
"Chasing progress, you can't use people like this, it's all my money!" Zhu Qiyu gritted his teeth, Lian Zhong really didn't save him money.
In winter, the water control department does not stop.
In winter, in the south, the water is controlled, and the waterways are colluded, the tidal flats are cleared, and the reefs are blown up.
The Iron Smelting Division also shouted for scarce slaves, and asked the center to transport more slaves to the iron factory.
In the past, there were no slaves, and the ones who died were Mingren.
The emperor felt sorry for the people, so he used slaves to top it, but it was the emperor's money that was spent.
Zhu Qiyu finished reading the recitals of the Water Control Division and the Iron Smelting Division, and re-approved the recitals on the recitals.
After the approval, I opened the note submitted by the Ministry of Works.
The Ministry of Industry wrote out all the workmanship of Jingtai in the past 11 years.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Repair the palace? What is this payment? ”
"Emperor, it's the installation of palace glass." Feng Xiao reminded.
"Why did you spend 170,000? So much? ”
"Emperor, the slave knows a thing or two, because the wages of the workers in Beijing are much higher, after all, the people of the capital are rich now."
"That's a bit expensive, let the household check it, and it costs so much money to install glass?"
Zhu Qiyu is sometimes very generous, and sometimes he is particularly picky.
"The slave obeys."
After watching the music for an afternoon, Zhu Qiyu stood up and moved his body.
Taking advantage of the emperor's rest, Feng Xiao said: "Emperor, the lady concubine has sent me to ask, please go to Yonghe Palace?" ”
"Oh? Does Concubine Tan have a unique insight into Indian medical books? ”
Zhu Qiyu became interested: "Let Yonghe Palace prepare meals, and I will go to Yonghe Palace for dinner." ”
With that, he took the imperial chariot to Yonghe Palace.
Tan Yunxian is holding a pen at the moment, writing and drawing, and there are several apprentices around him who are serving pen and ink.
When he heard that the emperor was coming, he immediately put down his pen and got up to kneel to greet him.
"Say no more saluting, get up quickly."
Zhu Qiyu stayed in the warm pavilion for a while, went to the cold air on her body before coming in, saw the pen and ink on her case, and asked, "But are you studying Indian medical books?" ”
"I can't hide anything from Your Majesty."
Tan Yunxian motioned to serve the meal, and was about to go to the dining hall, when Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Just eat here." ”
She had it brought over.
"Your Majesty, Hua Tuo's death and the loss of the Green Capsule Sutra are a regret for my Chinese medicine."
"This is an Indian medical book, but it has a unique insight into surgery."
"After the concubine finished reading, although she was stunned, she was skeptical, so she said that this infusion pricked something into the blood, what if something happened?"
Tan Yunxian transcribed some things in the medical book that he didn't understand.
I plan to invite the old lady to come and study with the old lady.
"Do you know that wine can be sterilized?" Zhu Qiyu asked her.
"Of course I know that the army is equipped with spirits for disinfection." Talk about Yunxian's return.
It has been a long history of using wine to disinfect, and Daming is very proficient in using it.
"In the same way, it can also be disinfected after the infusion, so you won't get sick." Zhu Qiyu sat down to eat.
"Your Majesty, what the concubine said is to hit things into the bloodline."
"I don't think it hurts."
Zhu Qiyu chewed slowly: "It's better to find a few slaves and test it." ”
"But this, I'm afraid it will make the people afraid, and I'm afraid that the government and the opposition will continue to be impeached." Tan Yunxian is worried about her reputation, after all, she has two princes, and she will have a third soon.
"Don't do it, let the people from the Tai Hospital do it, there are many slaves in the Ming Dynasty, and you can catch which country you want to try."
Zhu Qiyu is very coveted by modern medicine.
Because he's afraid of death.
"Your Majesty, this Indian medical book is in the same vein as the Chinese medical book, but there are some places that are contradictory, such as ...... here."
Tan Yunxian took out the marked paper and showed it to the emperor: "Look here." ”
