"Surgical methods such as caesarean section, cataract removal, stone removal, amputation, etc., but the concubine looks at the method simply, which may be the translation of the words is not up to the mark."

Zhu Qiyu found that in Tan Yunxian's records, there was a record of plastic surgery.

Cutting a piece of flesh on the cheek or forehead of the patient, but not completely separating it, then cutting the part of the nose and embedding it, and then separating it from the original part after growth, this is a surgery to raise the nose.

"The surgeries in my Chinese medicine are mostly used in the military, amputation and other surgeries."

"But the concubine in the palace collection of Meng Yuan medical books, but have seen the use of anesthetic surgery, it seems that the big cannibal is more proficient in anesthesia surgery, Genghis Khan has a lot of surgical masters, but now there are not many people who are proficient in the Ming Dynasty."

Tan Yunxian didn't dare to say no.

War often destroys a lot of valuable things, and the delay in the development of Daming surgery is directly related to war.

Zhu Qiyu frowned: "You mean, the big cannibal is also proficient in medical skills?" ”

"Your Majesty, not to mention India, Annam, Cambodia, Laos, and Siam all have medical books, and those ancient books are shipped back, and the concubines have read them, and they are different from the medical books of the Ming Dynasty."

"All countries in the world have medical books and original medical principles."

"It's just that there are not many systematic medical Taos like Daming, India, and Dashi."

That is to say, modern medicine does not jump out of the cracks in the stones.

Rather, it has developed little by little over the years.

It was slowly reborn from Greek medical books, and Babylon, Egypt, and Rome all had a complete set of medical systems.

This is what Zhu Qiyu is greedy for, and he can take these systems, compile them into a book, and then bring forth the new.

As long as he can gather medical books and medical masters from all over the world in Daming, then he can quickly promote the birth of modern medicine.

"Concubine Ai has helped me a lot."

Zhu Qiyu began to think about whether to not hold a full slaughter policy, but to retain people with one skill, so that these people can continue to shine for Daming.

Seeing the emperor thinking, Tan Yunxian didn't dare to disturb.

"Go and ask the old lady to come."

Hu Hu was compiling a book of "Cochin Fever", and when he heard that the emperor had ordered him to discuss the matter of Indian medical books, he took the manuscript of the medical book with him.

As a result, in the Qianqing Palace, I actually met Tan Yunxian.

"The old lady is my elder and Concubine Hu's grandfather, and it's not rude for you to see him." Zhu Qiyu comforted Tan Yunxian.

Hu Hui saluted seriously.

Zhu Qiyu said the conjecture in his heart.

"Your Majesty, there is no end to the way of medicine, and naturally the more the merrier."

"I am all-encompassing in China, and I regard words as treasures, so I naturally want to absorb thousands of them and nourish myself."

"But."

"Transferring the northern army to the south, the decree has been conveyed, if there is another accident at this time, the old minister is worried that the army will be rearranged again, and it will delay time."

Hu Hu means that this time forget it, let's protect it next time.

The Northern Army received the holy decree and went to sea in Tianjin and went to Jiaozhi along the sea route.

The nautical charts of the offshore sea were available in Dayuan, and Dayuan used the offshore transportation of grain and silver instead of the inland transportation; After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Yongle Dynasty walked through this sea route; The Wako also had a chart of the road in their hands; Liang Xuan and Xiang Zhong also walked this road.

Therefore, it is not very dangerous to go near the sea, and it can even be said that it is a familiar road.

In order to quickly transport troops over, each ship carried at least 2,000 men, without supplies, and the ports along the way were reinforced.

The emperor specially ordered that the northern army was not suitable for the climate of Baiyue, so it was necessary to recruit more doctors and bring more medicinal materials.

Zhu Qiyu groaned slightly: "Then next time, leave useful people behind and serve the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Your Majesty."

Hu Hu took out the handwritten book and presented it to the emperor.

Zhu Qiyu didn't understand it very well, so he asked Tan Yunxian to read it, and Tan Yunxian looked at it very seriously, and in this process, Zhu Qiyu and Hu Hu discussed the matter of other countries' medical books.

"Your Majesty, among the books brought by Xiyi and Dashi, there are also many medical books, and the old minister is studying and sorting them out."

"Old lady, you are too slow alone, you recruit a group of medical talents, brainstorm, classify and sort out these medical books as soon as possible, and then send people to teach them and popularize them among the people."

Zhu Qiyu does things, and what he pursues is fast.

Tan Yunxian was full of praise after reading the medical book.

Make an appointment to ask the physician and others to study the questions in the Indian medical book.

As long as the emperor loves medicine, then the medical Tao will rise rapidly, and countless medical talents will be born among the people.

Just like Emperor Xuanzong liked calligraphy and painting, there were many painters among the people, and calligraphy and painting ushered in a peak in the Xuande Dynasty.

Waved Hu Hu away, Tan Yunxian returned to Yonghe Palace to continue his studies.

Zhu Ying received a holy decree to surrender Laos.

He had just settled the newly arrived 10,000 Guizhou troops and 30,000 Korean troops into Cambodia.

There was also a secret letter from the emperor.

Inform him that after recruiting Laos, he will send people to prevent future troubles forever, and the land of Lao Cambodia must be taken out to settle the Jiangnan people.

After the rainy season passed, after the resumption of migration, the pressure on Cochin increased sharply.

Zhu Ying strictly ordered localities to reclaim raw land, develop forests, and build irrigation measures.

Don't look at the fertile land and superior climate of Jiaozhi, but it is very short of water, either drought or flood, there is no good irrigation measures, and no matter how fertile the land is, it is also wasteland and waste land.

Annam did not have such advanced irrigation methods as the Ming Dynasty, and they did not intensively cultivate and did not care about farming.

The Ming people came and brought the world's pinnacle farming civilization to Cochin.

Farmers burn forests and turn them into ashes to nourish the land; The silt from the river is dug up little by little, spread on the land, and then the fertilizer is buried.

The barren land has been reclaimed into arable land.

This is something that Akito is very good at.

Zhu Ying also brought tea seeds from Fujian and planted tea trees on the hillsides to make tea gardens.

During the attack on Cambodia, he also sent a letter to the emperor and asked the emperor to take over the land of Laos, although Laos is located on the long mountain range, it is a rare place to grow tea.

As long as you build tea plantations and wait for the tea trees to grow, what will come out of the trees in ten years will be gold.

He began to plan to plant tea trees in the area where Laos was annexed to Cochin.

His recital was sent to the emperor, and the emperor sent it to the center, which asked Wang Wen to grow tea in Yunnan and Yue Zheng and Xiang Wenyao to grow tea in Guizhou.

And the candidate to recruit Laos is Bian Yong.

Bian Yong has been hovering between Jiaozhi in Guangxi, and he is just using him to persuade the Lao King Pangha to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Ying thinks that it is not difficult, after all, Laos has been scared by the Ming Dynasty, and it is a very poor place, full of natives.

Bian Yong gladly accepted the order.

But Pang Ha was not a fool, and after Cambodia was captured by the Ming Dynasty, he immediately sent people to contact Siam, and Siam's envoys also arrived in Laos.

The Lower Burmese Bago Dynasty, which was quite respectful to the Ming Dynasty, actually drove away Bian Yong, and also began to drive away the Ming merchant travelers and left Bago.

Shangmyanmar Ava was also not polite to the Ming Dynasty, and actually arrested the Ming merchant and embezzled his goods.

Luchuan, which was close to the Ming Dynasty, killed the Ming merchants and embezzled the goods.

Even, Manchu Jia, who was respectful to the Ming Dynasty, actually wanted to take back Singapore and began to send troops to expel the Ming fleet.

Bo Ni is eyeing the sea, and can send troops to cut off the route of the Ming Dynasty at any time.

The prototype of an anti-Ming alliance is taking shape.

Zhu Ying only received news from Laos.

Wang Wei is still in India, and he does not know the news of the rebellion of the subject country.

And Daming is already preparing for the New Year.

Entering the twentieth month of the lunar month, the eleventh year of Jingtai is about to pass.

Good news came from Xiang Zhong in the south, and King Shangde of the Ryukyus sent a table and asked for Ryukyu to be attached.

It was refuted for the first time by the Cabinet.

After three please three lets, Ryukyu will be attached to the Ming Dynasty.

The Ryukyus must be in their hands, and this is an important place to hold the Japanese kingdom hostage.

Gong Yongji, who was stationed on Tsushima Island, also came with good news, and Ezo requested that the Ming Dynasty be attached.

Ezo country, that is, Hokkaido, Yongle Dynasty Ming Dynasty set up Wenshanwei here.

That's right, Ezo Island used to be part of Nuer Gandusi.

It is the land of the Ming Dynasty.

The peak land of the Ming Dynasty is on par with the Tatar Qing Dynasty, and the Tatar Qing map seen by later generations has actually only lasted for 20 years, and many of the sites on it are drawn by themselves.

And the Ming Dynasty on Sakhalin Island, there are also three guards, Nanghar Guard, Wulie River Guard, Polo River Guard, three guards.

But in the Xuande Dynasty gave up.

The Ezo country has also changed from a part of the Nuer Gandu Division to a subject country of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty's Universal Chronicles recorded: Ezo Island is a small country, its people must be four feet long, especially like the bow and arrow in the head, making people stand with a gourd, dozens of steps to shoot all the hit. In October of the fourth year of Tang Xianqing, he paid tribute with the envoys of the Japanese state, and now it is a subject country.

In the book compiled by Yishaha, it is also written: The people who suffered abroad gave men and women clothes and utensils, corn and rice, and wine and food for feasts.

Yishiha once represented the Ming Dynasty and appeased the local natives.

Now Ezo country request attached.

"Gong Yongji is silent, and he has done such a big thing!"

Zhu Qiyu was excited: "The North Korean sailors also appeased Sakhalin Island, and the natives on Sakhalin Island are also willing to return to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Okay, Yun Ezo is attached to the country! Change Ezo Island to Gu Shot! ”

"This place is the Gushu Mountain in the Classic of Mountains and Seas."

In fact, Gusha Mountain is Sakhalin Island, and the Ming Dynasty called Sakhalin Island bitter at this time.

"Gong Yongji has the merit of expanding the land, I want to make him an earl, and send someone to ask if Gong Yongji is willing to turn into a martial artist."

This is something that was once discussed with Gong Yongji.

Zhu Qiyu just pretended to ask and went through the process.

Then Gong Yongji was named a martial artist.

"There is no need to be an independent province, and it is not possible to include Jilin, Jilin is too vast."

"Then split out a province, called Heilongjiang Province, and put Sakhalin and Gushu in Heilongjiang Province."

"It is bounded by the Beiqinhai Sea (Xingkai Lake), Jilin in the west of the lake, and Heilongjiang in the east of the lake."

"Heilongjiang is referred to as dragon."

"Jilin Dusi was also changed to Jilin Province, referred to as Jin."

"Send troops to garrison them, and then move a group of civilians from the interior."

"The Northeast is too vast, two more provinces should be built, and the cabinet should discuss how to divide it and what is the name of the new province."

"Let Yu Shan supervise Heilongjiang."

As a result, there are six provinces in the Northeast, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, North Korea, and two provinces that have not been taken.

"After the Ryukyus are attached, they will be divided within the territory of Fujian and will not be divided."

Fujian, an embarrassing province, will no longer be embarrassed after getting the Ryukyus, it can lead to the outer ocean, and hold the main road of the inland sea, with the Ryukyu and Baozhou Mansion Gongwei outside, and there are many ports, which is the only place to pass through the trade to the East.

This time, Fujian's territory has been completely formed.

"Ryukyu was reduced to a county, and a county was sent to govern."

"Jiaxiang Zhong's Wenxun."

Xiang Zhong is not enough to be knighted, then Gawenxun, the emperor has always been generous.

And Xiang Zhong sent good news again, recruited 34,000 Japanese soldiers, and transported them all to Yizhou.

The Ming Dynasty has initially established contact with the land snakes of the Wa Kingdom.

Hu Feng is sparse, the people have already gone to Baozhou and Penghu, but the houses and fields have not been settled, please allocate a batch of grain to the center.

Baozhou is still in a primitive state, and the people on it are also natives.

There is no shortage of wood or anything, there is no shortage of manpower, what is lacking is time.

Liang Xuan had already led the sailor back to Nanjing.

The Emperor reassured him.

It's about to be the New Year.

This year's Daming voyage has three things on fire, one is bean sprouts, one is shallots, and the other is red wine.

Because sailors float on the water all year round, many people died mysteriously, and news spread in the palace that bean sprouts, shallots, and wine were hoarded on the ship.

It worked wonders.

Shallots were also planted from Hami to the Central Plains, and vineyards also rose again on the land of China.

Wine was more popular in the Han, Tang and Yuan dynasties, while the Ming people did not like wine and preferred liquor.

After the resurgence of wine, Kou Shen planned to plant grapes in a large area in Hami to make a wave of wine money.

But in the eleventh year of Jingtai, the hottest thing is canned sea fish.

Coastal provinces, unwilling to be dominated by canned meat market, encourage fishermen to go to the sea to fish, make canned sea fish, sell well all over the country.

There are even people who have developed ancient preservatives.

Put it in a can.

Anyway, Zhu Qiyu didn't dare to eat it, worried that he would be poisoned to death after eating.

But it doesn't prevent the people from liking it.

People's lives are changing with each passing day, and the dining table is becoming more and more abundant.

The cattle and sheep slaughtered in Rehe and Ningxia were transported to the mainland on a large scale after snowfall.

This frozen meat is most popular in the north.

Let's just say that this time the northern army was transferred to the south, before leaving, the military department specially approved meat tickets, because of the Chinese New Year campaign, the center approved two catties of meat tickets for each of the 200,000 troops.

Let the 200,000 Northern Army happily get on the boat.

This is eight years ago in Jingtai, I can't think of it, eat some meat every year, but only to eat a few bites by yourself, now as long as there is an order, it will approve things, meat tickets, cloth tickets, spice tickets, canned tickets.

Anything can be given, so that the status of soldiers in the civilian population will increase linearly.

When people are rich, their status will be high, and it is the same in any era.

Jingtai Dynasty soldiers eat well and earn a lot, and their social status is naturally high.

When canned sea fish first came out, the military department approved two cans of sea fish and sent them to the army, because the army had eaten canned sea fish, so they brought the canned sea fish to the fire.

In the eleventh year of Jingtai, the second fire was roast duck.

The whole Jingshi is full of roast duck restaurants, and the restaurants on the road are all roast duck restaurants.

The main reason is that at the end of the tenth year of Jingtai, the center issued an order to raise ducks in the world, and the center collected duck feathers and made down jackets for the whole army.

Ducks and geese are raised all over the world, causing meat prices to plummet.

Especially after winter, when ducks and geese can be stored, and the mutton from Mobei pours into the market, the poultry meat is crushed.

The goose is not worried about selling, because the cost of raising the goose is high, the price of meat is also high, and the only goose feathers can be recouped.

The cost of cramming is low, this thing is grown up with feed, the cost is very low, a little encouragement, the market will be flooded.

There is an oversupply in the market and ducks are overflowing.

The royal merchant houses made a big purchase, not only for the wool, but also for the meat.

Then there were roast duck restaurants all over the place.

There is also a rumor in the palace about the production method of spicy duck goods, the duck goods in the roast duck shop are in short supply, and there is not enough to sell, and the lo-mei shop is choked enough, and there is a risk of going out of business.

The money earned by the Royal Comptoir was enough to add a down jacket to the army of two million.

It also brought fire to the duck goods industry.

However, the emperor's evaluation was that there was a lack of chili peppers, and the taste was a few points worse.

But it does not prevent the people from liking it.

After the fire, in the style of the emperor, it will either be sold or given to meritorious officials, such as the meritorious generals who have made meritorious contributions this year, and they will be rewarded by the store.

The third fire is still a kerosene lamp.

The country vigorously exploits oil, the price of kerosene is very low, and the commercial streets in the city are hung with kerosene lamps instead of lanterns.

Kerosene lamps have entered thousands of households and become one of the necessities of life.

There's a lot of stuff that's on fire.

For example, cement tile houses.

The Rehe craftsman actually developed handmade cement that was infinitely close to modern cement, and he was given a silver talisman by the emperor.

A section of the road in the territory of Rehe was built with cement.

Therefore, many wealthy households use cement to build tile houses, and the cost is very high, and the more expensive things the rich people like.

This kind of cement was produced to fill the seams, and as a result, it was used to build houses.

Chen Tai still came up with it, built a gallop road, let the world see the power of the new cement, and then the cement sold well.

The folk also rose the wind of martial arts, because the emperor recruited martial artists from all over the world and held a hero conference in Nanjing, so martial arts rose.

The emperor loved books, and his poems and songs were all developed unprecedentedly in the eleventh year of Jingtai.

The Naadam Conference in Mongolia, the emperor also liked it, and encouraged the style of folk wrestling competitions, Naadam was not only held in Rehe and Ningxia, but also in the whole country.

Respecting literature and valuing martial arts, valuing agriculture and valuing commerce will always be the keynote of the Jingtai Dynasty.

In the eleventh year of Jingtai, a large number of Xiyi objects poured into the Ming Dynasty.

After the Songjiang Mansion was renamed Shanghai, it was built into a pearl city by the emperor, and all the goods from all over the world can be bought in Shanghai.

The library in the palace has been opened since the eighth year of Jingtai and has never been closed.

After the publication of the books in the palace, the translated books of Xiyi, India, Lao, Cambodia, Siam, Myanmar and other countries, and books on big food will continue to be made public, and people all over the world will be encouraged to study and compile them into a system.

If the emperor attaches importance to it, the people will become popular.

Countless officials who dig their minds and climb up will study day and night.

All of a sudden, there was a craze for Western learning among the people.

Western studies are changing the Ming Dynasty, and no one knows which direction the Ming will take.

Anyway, it is a direction that is beneficial to Daming, and strive to move forward.

In a blink of an eye, it's the New Year.

This is Zhu Qiyu's second year in Nanjing, but he can't sleep on Chinese New Year's Eve, he is waiting for news from Jin Zhong.

And in the center.

Li Xian presided over Jingtai's 11th annual meeting and presented prizes to officials.

On Chinese New Year's Eve.

The ministers hold their final deliberations in the cabinet.

Six next year will become seven, and the first secretary of the Ministry of Finance is likely to be Li Bing.

Li Bing contributed a lot to the construction of Rehe.

It's just that some qualifications are lacking.

Li Xian is now in charge of the cabinet, ranking first and second, and he is a very popular minister, but he is walking on thin ice and feels that the center is not as comfortable as in Liaoning.

"Your Majesty's holy decree, Yu Shan is the governor of Heilongjiang."

Chen Wen glanced at poor Yu Shan, he was so old, he still had to go to that cold place to suffer.

Yu Shan was very excited, being able to leave the center was a special favor from the emperor for him.

"The Northeast is too big, and it would be right to split it into six provinces." Geng Jiuchou should have died young, but now he is alive.

"It's just that it's sparsely populated."

Li Shi said with a smile that the emperor should move the Jiangnan people to Jilin and Heilongjiang.

"There is indeed a shortage of people, and North Korea is also short of people." Geng Jiuchou said.

Baekyu regained his free form, but became silent.

Li Xian said: "This Shoufu has already gone to His Majesty, but it can be seen that His Majesty means that he has to settle the Jiangnan people to Jiaozhi." ”

"This year's corn harvest in Liaoning is good, and it will definitely be better to go to Jilin for planting."

"Move those Jiangnan people over and reclaim them for ten years, Jilin will be a treasure land."

Heilongjiang is still too far away, and Heilongjiang cannot be developed until the Jilin swamp is filled in, the cultivated land is developed, the irrigation measures are done well, and the water transportation is communicated.

But Jilin can certainly accommodate a million people.

This can underestimate Jilin, the current Jilin, which basically includes the two provinces of Jiji and Hei in later generations, are fertile soil for grain production.

However, rice seeds are being improved, and it will take time to develop cold-tolerant seeds.

The large-scale development of Northeast China also takes time.

Thirty years later, the six northeastern provinces will be able to accommodate hundreds of millions of people, if not more.

"In the name of the Cabinet, let your Majesty be relieved." Li Xian proposed.

Everyone else nodded.

Jiaozhi couldn't fit so many people, so he moved north.

"The yield of rice seeds paid tribute by Siam is indeed more than that of the Ming Dynasty, and the Champa rice occupied by the Ming Dynasty is stronger than that of Siam."

"Rice farming is now being revolutionized."

"It won't take a few years to fully roll it out."

Geng Jiuchou said: "This year, banks have been opened in various cities in Jiaozhi, and business is being launched. ”

The establishment of the Ministry of Finance, he was most reluctant to set up a bank.

Banks are definitely a golden egg.

The emperor, on the other hand, was to be subsumed into the Ministry of Finance.

"This year's treasury is abundant, and last year there was a surplus, how much money is in the treasury?" Li Xian asked Geng Jiuchou.

Geng Jiuchou looked at the record: "There are a total of 32 million taels of silver in the account, all of which are stored in Daming Bank. ”

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the courtier's face.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, the treasury had so much money, and the household department was also arrogant.

"Nowadays, the commerce and trade industry is developed, shipbuilding, transportation, and timber are the most prosperous industries, and many ordinary people are building houses."

Because wood is cheap.

You can build a house by buying bricks, and of course the people will take the opportunity to build a house.

The craze for building houses has also led to the brick-burning industry.

Similarly, as the people's living standards improved, the demand for porcelain also increased, and the center established porcelain factories in Foshan and Tangshan to fire porcelain on a large scale.

If it's booming, the population will also soar.

"Through the calculation of the household department, the tax will reach a new high next year, and it is expected to exceed 30 million!"

This number made the important minister gasp.

After the construction of Rehe was completed, many people were rich, and these people would buy and buy to promote the development of commerce, and the center collected commercial taxes, so that money circulated repeatedly in the market, and the economy was revitalized.

But the fact that Rehe is built does not mean that there is no work.

To the north, the construction of Hanzhou Prefecture, Jilin Prefecture, and Heilongjiang Province all require manpower.

Moreover, after the construction of Rehe, there will be more factories and the economy will grow.

"This year, 10 million sets of farm tools have been fired in iron factories across the country, and I think almost every family in the country can get a set of farm tools."

These tools are given to the workers after they have finished their work.

Some workers may have several sets at home.

But these farm tools were heirlooms for the Ming people at this time, and they were important items for the son to divide the family, just like the house in later generations.

"Iron pots are still scarce."

"There is also a shortage of people, and there is also a shortage of oil mills."

"The supply of iron pots in oil mills is insufficient, and oil production and road construction are the top priorities."

"The Ministry of Household expects that in 20 years, a trunk road will be built across the country, including Jiaozhi, Yizhou, Wusizhen, Turpan, Hanzhou, Jilin, Heilongjiang, North Korea and other provinces."

"Within 30 years, asphalt roads will be built in every village."

"The only oil that is lacking."

"Daming is seriously short of oil, and according to the information sent back by Kou Shen, Samarkand is full of oil fields to the west."

"Daming can go and buy it, the problem is that it is difficult to transport it back."

Geng Jiuchou spoke eloquently.

"Samarkand?"

Yao Kui frowned slightly: "It used to be the land of the Han, Tang and Yuan dynasties, and it was my hometown of China, so it should be taken back." ”

"Yao Ge Lao, never work."

"In the twelfth year of Jingtai, the most important thing is to open up Jiaozhi, and there can be no war in the west."

"Once the war starts on the third front, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to win."

Wang Fu objected.

Yao Kui snorted, and when he saw Wang Fu, he was angry.

This damn Wang Fu, who said that he was a good alliance, ended up stabbing him in the back and seeking the position of second assistant, but he became the third assistant instead.

"Wuliangha must be fought, and if Wuliangha cannot be captured, Jilin and Hanzhou will not be able to be built, and Rehe will not be able to become an inland province."

Wang Fu ignored his dissatisfaction and continued: "Conquer Wuliangha and open up Jiaozhi, it is expected that within three years, the Ming Dynasty will not be able to go west again. ”

Li Xian believes that Wang Fu's opinion is very correct.

When the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was from prosperity to decline, it was best to make friends at this time, waiting for the Great Khan to die and the sons to compete for the throne, which was the time when the Ming Dynasty annexed the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Daming is more time and so on.

Oil is not in a hurry, find a way to buy it, and continue to look for it in China.

"If it weren't for the resettlement of the population, Cambodia shouldn't have fought it."

Li Xian sighed: "When Xing Guogong was in power, the five-year plan for recuperation and recuperation formulated was very prescient. ”

"Daming is building on a large scale in China, and it should be conquered again when the construction is completed."

"Now that I am forced to attack Cambodia, I am afraid that the subordinate countries of heaven are going to rebel."

Li Xian was very prescient.

Zhu Ying received the news that Laos refused to surrender and had already sent the news to Daming.

"Next year, the only big battle will be Uliangha."

Li Xiandao: "I have been preparing for three years, and this year we must level Wuliangha and build the Hanzhou Metropolitan Division and the Jilin Metropolitan Division." ”

The Cabinet adopted the proposal.

"At the beginning of next year, Your Majesty will open the sea strongly."

"After the opening of the sea, how to set up the customs? The matter of how to determine the tariff needs to be discussed now, and submitted to His Majesty for further discussion. ”

Yao Kui first threw bricks and stones: "I think the tariffs should be set high. ”

"Your Majesty does not want to use agricultural taxes to oppress the people, so he replaces agricultural taxes with commercial taxes."

"However, the hearts of the people in the world are no longer ancient."

"When the people pick up a bargain, they want to take advantage of it, if they all go to business, who will farm the land in the future?"

"Therefore, tariffs should be high, and it is a national policy to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, which cannot be changed."

Yao Kui wants to set a heavy tax.

The courtiers all agreed with Yao Kui's proposal.

It's just that Bai Gui, who has not spoken, slowly spoke: "Your Majesty opened the sea for trade?" Or do you want to open up a new world? ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers stared and pondered.

Trade, that's not the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

A large country like the Ming Dynasty did not rely on trade to maintain its rule at all.

A few days ago, the emperor wrote an article entitled "The Discussion of Colonization", which was published in the royal press, discussing whether it should be colonized or become a Han land.

The pros and cons are explained in detail.

It caused a huge amount of discussion in the government and the opposition.

There are all those who say anything, but there is no opposition to the emperor, and they are all worried about being arrested and emigrated.

"Naturally, it is to open up a new world, and I immigrated 17 million to Jiaozhi in the Ming Dynasty, in order to firmly occupy the land of Baiyue?"

Li Xian knew very well that he had to follow in the footsteps of the emperor.

"That's right, it's about opening up the new world, and trade is secondary."

Yao Kui was against colonization.

Because of colonization, it is nothing more than floating wealth, and after a few years, the wealth will be dispersed.

Only small countries will colonize, and they will only be short-sighted.

A big country will only open up its own territory.

Daming doesn't lack anything, if you want money, you want people to have people, as long as you slaughter the natives, this land is Daming's.

The Ming Dynasty was able to move more people to occupy these places.

This is the confidence of a great power.

Of course, why didn't the previous dynasty consider slaughtering people, but slowly occupied Huairou?

Because Zhu Qiyu is the richest, immigration is the most costly, Zhu Qiyu has money, and he resists manufacturing, so he can immigrate on a large scale, without delaying domestic construction, and still have the strength to start a war.

It's just that the emperor is too rich!

As for whether the emigrated are happy or not, the emperor cares about that? As long as the emperor moves his mind, he has to do it next, how many people will die!

"Since we are opening up a new world, we can't set high tariffs, we need low tariffs to encourage people to go out and see."

Baekyu got to the point.

"This ......"

Li Xian frowned: "Bai Shangshu knows, how much silver did Your Majesty spend in order to open the sea?" ”

"I am up and down in the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that it hurts my muscles and bones, and the incomparably rich Jiangnan can't be slowed down in ten years."

That's right.

The emperor forcibly demolished Jiangnan and removed 17 million people, which made Jiangnan faulty.

It takes less than ten years to recover.

But in the same way, Jiangnan has also become a blank sheet of paper, and the emperor can splash ink and paint as much as he wants.

"Moreover, Your Majesty should reduce the agricultural tax and encourage the people to farm and become rich."

"Another point, Your Majesty wants to relax the restrictions on officials, and the administrative cost of the center will be more than tripled."

"If you don't get back from the tariff subsidy, how can you afford the normal operation of the entire Ming Dynasty?"

Li Xiandao: "Over the years, building roads, building cities, fighting wars, and immigrating, His Majesty's internal funds are all paying for it, and if it is replaced by the national treasury to bear it, I am afraid it will not be completed in a hundred years." ”

He insisted on high tariffs.

Baekyu was also thinking.

No one is worried about tax evasion, as long as it is in the land of Daming, no one can rely on the money of the imperial court and the money of His Majesty, unless they don't want the nine clans.

"It's better to do this, first raise tariffs, and then reduce or reduce them appropriately depending on the situation." Wang Fu suggested.

Li Xian's eyes lit up: "This method is good, and it can flexibly control tariffs." ”

The courtiers all thought that Wang Fu's method was good.

"The commercial tax can also be set in this way, set it very high, and then appropriately reduce or exempt it, and the commercial tax standard set every year is different, or it will be changed every three to five years."

Wang Fu's method is really good, flexible tax collection.

Bai Gui said quietly: "Once the tax is collected flexibly, there will be people who will take advantage of the loopholes." ”

"Don't be afraid of people taking advantage of loopholes, no one doesn't make mistakes, as long as you keep increasing laws and improving policies." Wang Fu looked very open.

It's all a trial run anyway.

"Just use Wang Ge Lao's method." Li Xian made a direct decision.

"The second is the problem of luck."

Li Xian said again: "Your Majesty means that the grain is transported by sea and in the same way as in the Yuan Dynasty. ”

"I'm afraid not, there are millions of people on the canal, and tens of millions of people are pointing to the canal to eat, if you rashly stop half of the canal, I'm afraid there will be turmoil."

Yao Kui objected.

People are accustomed to what they do, and if you ask them to build roads, they are unwilling to do it, because they are not used to it, and it is very difficult to change careers.

Moreover, Caoding belongs to the stable work of ensuring income in drought and flood.

Road construction is a temporary worker.

Whoever does it is a fool.

"Caoding is easy to resettle, such as there is a shortage of people everywhere today, especially those who can work hard, these people can get food wherever they go, and no matter how bad they are, they can still be resettled to Jilin, Jiaozhi, and farming."

Geng Jiuchou said: "On the contrary, other people are not easy to settle." ”

"Your Majesty said, not to abolish it completely, but to abolish it halfway, and use it by sea." Li Xiandao.

"I don't think so." Geng Jiuchou objected.

Li Xian looked at Wang Fu, and Wang Fu also objected.

Bai Gui said: "Everything is changing now, you can't let Caoyun stagnate because of some people's old eyes, right?" ”

"The northern army is transferred to the south, and it is by sea."

"The Northern Army successfully arrived at Jiaozhi, and the grain transported from Shanghai and Hangzhou to Tianjin was all through the inland sea, and the distance was close and the consumption was less."

"As for the resettlement issue, Cao Ding can change careers to do maritime transportation, or simply resettle in the northeast, give them land, and let them go farming."

"If you think it's cold in the northeast, go to Jiaozhi."

"The rest of the people who eat by pointing to the canal are local small traders and hawkers, and these people will not completely cut off their livelihood, they just make less money."

"The city by the sea has also developed, and the people along the coast can also become small traders and hawkers, and they can also make money, the same reason."

"The most important thing is that these people don't pay business taxes, and we can't collect their taxes."

"Why bother with them living or dying?"

Baekyu is very realistic.

Those who don't pay taxes are useless people.

As for the other big businessmen, they have to support the center, otherwise the emperor's knife will not be merciful.

The cabinet minister groaned slightly, and felt that it made sense.

Chen Wen and Ma Wensheng supported Bai Gyu.

"Bai Shangshu's words make sense." Du Ming spoke.

But Yao Kui and Wang Fu did not speak, but were thinking that Cao Ding could indeed be resettled and removed by dividing the land.

If you really don't want to go, you're still on the canal.

The canal is not completely abandoned.

"In fact, there is another point, if you go by sea, the canal will not have to be maintained, and it will cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to maintain the canal every year."

Yu Zijun said: "If the canal is not maintained, it will be full of silt in ten years, and other Caoding can only be forced to change careers, and they can no longer point to Caoyun to eat." ”

"In fact, when corn is planted in the north, there will be enough grain in the north, and Cao Yun will not be of much use."

It's the truth.

After the Yellow River was eradicated, the north became fertile land, such as Henan, Jiangsu, Shandong, and Beizhili, all of which were rich places and large grain growing provinces.

"Then use the sea route first, slowly cut down the canal, and move Caoding to the northeast."

Li Xian made a final decision: "Caoding immigrants are not in a hurry, just lure them, after all, they still need the support of the canal, and within five years, the canal will still be useful." ”

The five years he said will take five years to cure the Yellow River.

I'm negotiating.

An official hurriedly came in: "Ladies and gentlemen, Lord Liu, the governor of Shaanxi, has passed away!" ”

"What?"

Sun Yuanzhen was taken aback, her body shook, and she almost fainted.

He and Liu Guangheng are close friends.

A year ago, they also corresponded, Liu Guangheng said that everything was fine, and the two families also agreed on the doll relatives of their grandchildren.

As a result, Liu Guangheng died of illness!

"What's going on?"

"The obituary sent from Shaanxi, I still don't know the cause of death, but I heard that I ate something wrong."

Poisoned?

Sun Yuanzhen asked to bring the obituary: "Go quickly!" ”

Liu Guangheng is very popular, when he came back from Liaodong, the emperor was worried about his health, and he was raised in Beijing for a few years, and was sent to Shaanxi as a governor.

In the eleventh year of Jingtai, Shaanxi has done a good job.

Mainly drinking water projects.

Benefit the whole Northwest, and the people of the whole Northwest will be grateful to him.

This kind of thing, ordinary officials are unwilling to do, officials are willing to make bubbles, this is a merit, and few people are willing to do people's livelihood projects.

As a result, he died of illness, which is really unfortunate.

The fourth day of the first lunar month.

The news of Liu Guangheng's death reached Zhu Qiyu's hands.

The obituary said that Liu Guangheng ate the wrong food, suffered from abdominal cramps at night, and died at the age of 66.

"My humerus is missing another one."

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "Give the young master, Gavin Zunguo, and let Liu Qiao go home for the funeral." ”

He said that it doesn't matter, and it won't be bad if he thinks about it.

After all, Liu Guangheng has a good official reputation and can be a man.

"In Chang'an, build a temple to commemorate Liu Guangheng's achievements, and then pick a bustling street and change its name to Guangheng Street."

Liu Guangheng, Yunwen Yunwu, worked diligently, but unfortunately died.

"Officials all over the world must take care of their health, don't eat indiscriminately, take care of themselves."

Zhu Qiyu groaned: "Who can succeed as the governor of Shaanxi?" ”

Headache cracking, it's too painful, it was supposed to be a big orgasm today, drag it off, write it tomorrow
