To the east of Warsaw, is the country of Qi.

West was swallowed by Germany, which, in order to smoothly annex the territory, shouted the slogan of receiving the Poles.

Large numbers of Poles poured into Germany, and Germany gained a large area of northern Poland and gained a foothold west of Warsaw.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with the Poles shouting the slogan of building a new Poland.

We Poles are not greedy, just divide the original German-Polish territory.

The Kaiser saved a white-eyed wolf.

Lithuania also wants independence, the problem is that there are no more natives in Lithuania.

A large federal country with Poland, but within a few months, the indigenous population disappeared, and it was not the Japanese army that did this.

There were very few Japanese troops in the Great Shang system, and they recruited Cossacks on a large scale.

Cossacks were man-eating savages.

Give enough benefits, and they will turn into killing machines, slaughtering Lithuanians and Poles for the Great Merchant.

The White Russians were the most unlucky, they were previously conscripted by Poland as a servant army and went on expeditions everywhere.

The big merchants came, and they thought they could live a good life.

But the merchants still used them as slaves.

As slaves, we in White Russia also recognized.

Why exterminate us, what Lu country to establish? We're willing to surrender, can't we?

It's a pity that the king of Shang didn't reason with them.

Cossacks were recruited on a large scale, and round after round of rebellion was launched in the territory.

The population of Belarus is disappearing, and passing is being built.

The population of Poland is disappearing, and the state of Qi is being established.

Zhao is also expanding its territory to the north, and Zhao wants to be the overlord of the Baltic Sea.

In August of the 56th year of Jingtai, just after the emperor's 80th birthday, the 17 countries of Europa were sent to form the European Union.

Zhu Qiyu asked Shoufu Liu Jian: "How many soldiers can Daming recruit?" ”

"Your Majesty, there are quite a few complaints about supporting the feudal kingdoms of the world."

Liu Jian said cautiously: "Over the years, in order to emigrate to the vassal country, 900 million people have been removed, and the people love and hate the imperial court. ”

"And for the sake of the prince's succession, the Ming Dynasty has been fighting abroad for many years, and the military expenditure has risen year by year, so let's say that last year, Jingtai fifty-five years, the military expenditure was 320 million."

"How much did Da Ming get?"

"If it's full, you can get some treasures, which are worth around 20 million."

"The loss of military spending is as high as 300 million."

"The number of casualties remains high, in recent years, the American War, the Central Asian War, the Khanate War, the Ming Dynasty has lost as many as 100,000 people every year."

"Your Majesty, these are the family affairs of the vassal country, since they have been divided, let the vassal state take care of its own affairs."

Liu Jian's words were approved by Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Wang Wei.

"Military spending is indeed a lot, but it is borne by me alone, from the inside, what can the people say?"

"As for the number of casualties, the soldiers died for their families and their country, and they died as they deserved."

"The bereavement pension is not a penny less, what's the trouble? To be a soldier, you must be prepared to sacrifice your life for your family and country, which is an honorable thing. ”

Zhu Qiyu said lightly: "Indeed, immigrants have been more powerful in recent years. ”

"But don't you know how much the population is in the country?"

"What is the population red line? Qiu Jun has calculated, if the population of Daming exceeds 3 billion, there will be people who will be hungry. ”

"Today's technology can't support the world's 4 billion people to eat."

"For example, in the Americas and Oceania, there are fewer people and more land, and letting them emigrate out is to enjoy happiness, relieve the pressure on the domestic population, and make the vassal country prosperous."

Zhu Qiyu quibbled: "Liu Jian, have you thought about it, what does it mean for 17 European countries to form the European Union?" ”

"If the Ming Dynasty does not help, the Chu State, the Chen State, and even the Sui State and the Wei State will not be able to gain a foothold in Europa, and the collapse is inevitable, and the efforts of the Ming Dynasty over the years will be in vain."

Zhu Qiyu is also thinking about his son.

Li Dongyang responded: "Your Majesty, since you have sealed the vassal state, you must be prepared to face the risk independently. ”

"Chu, Chen, Sui, Wei and other countries weigh the system internally, do not give any taxes to the Ming Dynasty, and turn around to absorb the blood of the mother country."

"What's the reasoning?"

"If you enjoy the treatment of the king of a vassal country, you have to bear the corresponding risks."

"If everything needs to be brought forward by the mother country, why didn't Da Ming directly control it in the first place? What do you have to do with it? ”

Li Dongyang's words aroused the appreciation of Wang Wei and others.

Zhu Qiyu didn't argue with him, and asked: "Li Dongyang, I ask you, the Ming Dynasty's steam engine was successfully invented, how much did the Europa people contribute, do you know?" ”

"If the European Union is not contained now, will the European Union concentrate on the development of steam engines?"

"When the time comes, a huge power will appear in the west of Daming, and it will be good to work against Daming every day."

"Or is it better to beat him to death with a stick while he is weak?"

Zhu Qiyu quibbled: "Li Dongyang, you help me choose." ”

Li Dongyang rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty, you are quibbling." ”

"Where did I quibble?"

Zhu Qiyu pointed to his beard: "My beard is white, I'm old, arguing with you as a child?" When you were a child, you were in the palace and you were anxious to urinate, I remember it clearly. ”

Li Dongyang's whole face is red!

When he was a child, he was ordered by the emperor to enter the palace for questioning, and was appreciated by the emperor, and then studied in the country, and has always been trained by the emperor.

"How many of you, which one didn't I grew up watching?"

Zhu Qiyu sprinkled: "Now that you have entered the cabinet, do you want to step on the throne of me, the old emperor?" I have the grace of nurturing and teaching to you, have you forgotten? ”

"Weichen doesn't dare." Liu Jian and the others knelt down.

"Liu Jian, you are the oldest, you say." Zhu Qiyu still doesn't believe it, and he can't govern this cabinet.

The current important ministers in the court are basically from the emperor's close ministers.

There are many of them that the emperor watched and grew up.

They are naturally shorter in front of the emperor, and the little about them peeing their pants is clear to the emperor, and they are too familiar.

Liu Jian's old face darkened, and he smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, Elder Li Ge didn't mean this, he just held grievances for his mother country." ”

"Hmph."

Zhu Qiyu put his hands in his sleeves and lay on the throne: "I don't care, what kind of European Union is this, I am upset when I listen to them, and I overturn them." ”

Then, turn over and face your ass to the courtier.

Liu Jian and the others were speechless.

The emperor is getting older and more playful, always acting as an elder, too, he is eighty years old this year, an important minister of the court, younger than his son, is indeed an elder.

It's just that this old emperor is extremely difficult to fool.

After Zhu Ying and Xiang Zhong were the emperor's officials, Zhu Ying died, and Xiang Zhong succeeded him as the first assistant, and within two years, Xiang Zhong died of illness, and Han Yong succeeded him as the first assistant.

In the fifty-fourth year of Jingtai, Han Yong died of illness, and the Ming Dynasty fell.

In the same year, Fan Guang and Wang Yue died of illness.

Li Bing succeeded as the first assistant, and died in office just three months after becoming the first assistant, and Liu Jian succeeded the first assistant.

Zhu Qiyu has changed from the young emperor of the year to the old emperor, he is the oldest in the court, and he has boiled all the old ministers to death, and he is the oldest in the court.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang glanced at each other, feeling helpless.

This old man is a donkey, and it must be uncomfortable to rub against him, the key is that this old man is talking about business, just talking about peeing pants when people were young, and inserting people's lung tubes.

Now the little bad things that the important ministers of the government and the opposition had when they were children were all spread by the emperor, and everyone in the world knew about them.

The common people teach their children, and they all say, Li Dongyang still peed his pants when he was a child, what happened to my son's peeing pants?

"Your Majesty, only this once."

Li Dongyang smiled bitterly: "In the end, I will help the vassal country fight a big battle, and in the future, it will all depend on the vassal country's own ability, what do you think?" ”

Zhu Qiyu was silent.

"Your Majesty, the European Union is not a small battle, after the conquest, the Ming Dynasty is really unable to go west." Li Dongyang refused to let go.

Wang Wei came out of the round and said something that the vassal kingdom should also face the danger independently, and the emperor kept helping him, but the vassal kingdom did not grow much.

Zhu Qiyu barely came down the steps.

Immediately, the Cabinet prepared a decree to declare war on the European Union.

"Get up, there are not so many rules in the Heart Cultivation Palace, you played in this hall when you were young, why are you so restrained when you grow up?"

Zhu Qiyu stepped down from the throne with a smile on his face.

Can you stop talking? We want to be faced, too.

"Kunlun Mountain is ready, I want to be the first emperor of Kunlun to seal Zen."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "But my body, I can't go so far, let the prince go on my behalf, invite my important ministers to come out, and bring them with me." ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Qiyu's tone was low: "I promised them back then that I would take them to Feng Zen." ”

"Fifty years have passed."

"I can finally go to Kunlun Mountain to practice meditation, but they are gone."

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "But the Ming Dynasty is getting better and better, and the railway has been repaired to Kunlun Mountain, so that the important ministers who have passed away can take the train to see the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Liu Jian was very embarrassed, his teacher Xue Xuan died of illness very early.

But what's even more embarrassing is that the emperor can really live.

After his birthday, he was eighty years old.

Kublai Khan lived to be 80 years old, Zhao Gou to be 81 years old, Wu Zetian to be 82 years old, and Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, to be 86 years old.

These were the longest-lived emperors in history.

And looking at the emperor's posture, he is eighty years old, and there is nothing wrong with him at all, and it is estimated that he will continue to struggle.

There are people who have calculated the emperor's destiny and think that the emperor will not take a holiday, who would have thought that the emperor would live to be 80 years old.

Except for the anxious prince, the government and the opposition feel that it doesn't matter, this old man is comfortable, he is really broad-minded, anyone dares to use it, and anyone can use it.

Prince Zhu Jianqi has actually not been in a hurry in recent years.

Because in the fifty-second year of Jingtai, the emperor named Zhu Youchang, the eldest son of the crown prince, as the grandson, and the position of the prince was completely stable.

The main reason is that his father can't move anymore and can't change the prince.

And Zhu Qiyu is too long-lived, so he can only be crowned grandson, and once his son dies before he takes over the job, he will let his grandson take over directly.

In fact, the crown prince has been secured.

There is really no one to compete with Zhu Jianqi for the throne, his father is too capable of living.

Like the emperor's favorite fourth, Zhu Jianyu is the emperor of Eastern Europe, who wants to come back and stay up with his father, in case he dies, the bamboo basket will be empty.

No one can guarantee that they will survive their father.

Now the prince in the palace is only the old forty-one Zhu Jianya.

Most importantly, what a saint.

Zhu Qiyu is more satisfied with his eldest grandson Zhu Youyu, this son is different from his stupid father, but a little like Zhu Qiyu's cunning and ruthlessness, and he has a better grasp of the emperor's mental skills than his father.

Still a great poet.

Like his mother, he is a hidden poet, good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, sculpture, chemistry, physics, architectural design, etc.

He's an all-rounder.

But such a person is easy to go astray, enjoy the mountains and rivers, and abandon the government, the former Emperor Xuanzong is like this.

In the past few years, the prince and the prince have been in power, and Zhu Jianqi has to listen to his son for some things, this father is the nest.

Zhu Jianqi has focused on creating people in recent years, gave birth to five sons, died in infancy, and now has eight sons.

For the land of Eastern Europe, he also coveted.

I want my son to get a piece of the pie.

However, the fourth child refused, but gave all the benefits to his son, which made Zhu Jianqi dissatisfied with him, and always chatted with his son, and his fourth uncle was disrespectful.

If this is all in the country, it will definitely be cut down, and then it will be difficult to repeat the life trajectory of Emperor Taizong.

And in front of the emperor, Zhu Jianqi didn't dare to show anything.

The emperor is old and likes to watch family carnivals, so the children and grandchildren who are far away in the world will give him a table every year to show their filial piety.

I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, the emperor is happy and will reward a lot of things.

"The old forty-one feudal country, do you have any ideas?" Zhu Qiyu said again.

The good places in the world are almost divided, and all the powerful countries are still occupied.

"Your Majesty, do you want to seal off Western Europe?" Li Dongyang in one sentence.

After Chen Guojian was a feudal lord.

Zhu Qiyu found that Western Europe was not so powerful.

The military is not strong, the politics are average, and the painting is also very bad.

Before, he thought that European oil painting was very powerful, and it was as if it was photographed, so there were many oil painters in the palace.

But Wang Yue unveiled the true face of oil painting to him.

The principle of oil painting is that the small hole is imaged, the picture is mapped with a mirror, and then painted according to it, so the painting is like, but the left and right will be wrong, because the small hole imaging is the reason for the inverted.

Many court painters lost their jobs because of Wang Yue's revelations.

Oil painting becomes the end of all paintings.

However, oil painting has great practicality, and it is still very popular among the people, because the painting is like, and the people do not understand the artistic conception.

Even.

Recently, a treasure hunting fleet returned to Beijing to report that the scale of the pyramids in Egypt was not majestic, and it took them four years to draw the pyramids one by one on paper and send them back to Beijing.

Zhu Qiyu found that this is a pyramid? Why is it so small!

That's right.

The pyramid in the painting is indeed very large, but it is completely different from what Zhu Qiyu saw in his previous life, and it is enlarged in equal proportions?

Who did it?

Zhu Qiyu was a little confused, and called all the members of the archaeological team to inquire in detail.

I learned that the painting was a real pyramid, without a drop of water.

That is, the pyramids seen in the afterlife are fake!

Who is the product enlarged in equal proportions?

There are pyramids, but not that big, so it's not some prehistoric civilization, it's a fake artificially created thing.

There are also treasures excavated from Greece, which initially caused a tourist boom in the Northeast, but those who have been there once have all returned disappointed.

That's it?

A twisted lion, a faceless figure, a knight on a horseback with a bare ass, what the hell is this!

Can't the poor afford to wear clothes?

What artistic value does this have? Than the ass conference? What garbage!

The archaeological community of the Ming Dynasty has questioned the ancient Egyptian civilization and the ancient Greek civilization.

Since then, Zhu Qiyu has completely taken off the filter of the West, and he has always thought that the West in this era is stronger than the Ming Dynasty.

Indeed, he got a lot of Western technology.

For example, medicine, astronomy, machinery, chemistry and other technologies are indeed more advanced than those of the Ming Dynasty.

However, medicine and astronomy are good or not in India!

Mechanics and chemistry have nothing to do with Europe, which is an integrated version of the world's civilizations, and Europe has only been further developed.

In these aspects, there is indeed a gap with them, but it is definitely not a huge and irreparable gap.

And this comparison is the conclusion that the Ming Dynasty came to by single-handedly challenging all the civilizations in the world.

More than literature, all literature in the world is scum.

Compared with painting, Chinese painting is the most brilliant thing.

Compared with music, Daming music and dance are all carrying the handle.

Compared with mathematics, the arithmetic of the Ming Dynasty, singled out all the civilizations in the world.

Therefore, all the comparisons of the Ming Dynasty are the comparison between the Ming Dynasty and the world, not the comparison between the Ming Dynasty and any country in the world.

Because any country, if you evaluate it in all aspects, you can't compare with Daming in all aspects.

The archaeological community began to seriously question the history of the existence of Egyptian civilization, and even began to question the existence of Egyptian civilization.

As for the Babylonian civilization, it has been directly eliminated by historians, indicating that there is no such civilization in the world, there are no relics, and even the records in the book are ambiguous and completely untrustworthy.

If you want to prove the existence of the Babylonian civilization, you need to come up with definite evidence, you must come up with archaeological remains, and without physical proof, everything is invalid.

Moreover, this physical object must prove to be a product of ancient Babylon.

It's the same as letting Huaxia prove the existence of the Xia Dynasty, you must unearth a thing to prove that it was made by the people of the Xia Dynasty, how to determine it, you must travel through time and space four years ago, and you must broadcast the whole process live, so that the people of the world can see that this thing is made by the people of the Xia Dynasty, and then go to the corresponding location to dig it out to prove it.

Otherwise, the Xia Dynasty would not exist!

In the same way, ancient Babylon did not exist, but this one really does not exist! There is no completely definite ancient book that has absolute authority and can stand up to scrutiny, and it is said that there is evidence of the existence of ancient Babylon.

No.

All books do not stand up to scrutiny, which proves that the ancient Babylonian civilization did not exist.

As for the cultural relics unearthed, there is not a single one, not a single stone, there is a fart.

Greek civilization does exist, but it can only be compared to the Xia Dynasty, and you are not worthy of the Shang Dynasty.

Therefore, some people in the archaeological community have proposed that Huaxia is the only ancient country in the world that exists and continues to this day.

Greek and Indian civilizations also existed, but they both perished.

Egyptian civilization may or may not exist, in doubt.

So, are the Europeans from China?

Folk scholar Wang Shouren put forward the theory of the origin of human race, believing that all people in the world originated from the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as the remarks came out, they aroused discussion all over the world.

This statement is widely agreed.

The central government does not agree with this theory, because the Ming and Europeans look different, so it is impossible to infer the origin theory.

The folk feel that the origin of culture may have originated from the Ming Dynasty, after all, after Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions, the Han culture has carried out cultural blood transfusion to the world, which is beyond doubt.

The origin of world culture is debatable whether it is Han culture or not, but the folk generally believe that the origin of culture may not be conclusive, and cultural development is more like the rhythm of developing together, integrating and developing again.

Later, Wang Shouren launched a bombshell, the theory of evolution.

Man evolved from apes, and when he left the familiar environment and arrived in a new environment, he would evolve according to the environment, so people and people look different, and this kind of appearance distinction is closely related to the environment.

The theory of evolution, which complemented the theory of origin, caused heated discussions in the Ming Dynasty.

This statement has spread to Europe, where it has a very good market.

The Pope rejects this idea, arguing that man was created by God and cannot be questioned.

No one can say where people come from.

The imperial court is not interested in how people came to be, but it is interested in Wang Shouren, his father Wang Hua, who is now serving as the governor of the Western Regions.

Wang Shouren, this guy is not good at the imperial examination, what kind of evolution theory is engaged, and his father wrote a letter to scold him for being a bloody dog.

The emperor read the theory of evolution and was shocked by Wang Shouren's amazing talent.

This guy doesn't study the mind anymore, he studies the origin of mankind.

Genius is the ultimate genius in every way.

Darwin is just a chance meeting, if you want to become a top person, you must occupy the right time and place, and there are too many buried talents in the world.

For the development of science, there must be an extremely relaxed social environment and super abundant funds.

This is also the reason why the Renaissance is so important to Europe, without the Renaissance, Europe is still ruled by the Pope, they invent a fart.

Zhu Qiyu has been curbing his temper over the years, just to create a relaxed social environment for the people, and he has invested all the money of the royal commercial bank, reserving sufficient funds for the people, so that science and invention can blow out.

Wang Shouren learned from Yangming Xin, stepped onto another trajectory, and directly began to learn from things.

"Your Majesty, it's good for Weichen to look at Greece." Xie Qian spoke.

Wang Wei retorted: "Greece is the Chinese food of the Chu State, let's step in, the Chu State may not be willing." ”

"Daming sent 400,000 troops, and in the future, he will gather 1.5 million troops to conquer the Ottomans."

"It's only a matter of time before the Ottomans destroy the country."

"Why don't you ask the forty-first prince to go to the Ottoman native Turkey?"

Xie Qian snorted: "The Ottoman Huanghuang Great Country, without a few decades, cannot be completely destroyed, and the forty-first prince is by no means a brilliant person, and he can't take this fertile soil." ”

It's a hard thing to say, but it's true.

Zhu Jianya has no ability and doesn't say, this person is very Buddhist, to be precise, he is a scientific researcher and likes to do physics experiments.

He is not interested in politics and prefers to experiment.

Send it to Turkey, this is forcing him to die.

"Xie Qian is right, the old forty-one can't stop the Ottoman counterattack."

Zhu Qiyu smiled: "What do you think of the second and third children of the prince's family?" ”

The second eldest of the prince's family, Zhu Youyu, and the third eldest Zhu Youjian, are both restless children.

Obviously, they are not interested in being a vassal king at home, and they want to venture into the outside world.

"Weichen thinks the two county kings are good." Li Dongyang said.

The emperor and grandson have all learned from Li Dongyang, Li Dongyang knows the temperament of Zhu Youyu and Zhu Youjian, and among the eight sons of the prince, the two of them want to be the grandsons.

The emperor also decided in advance, otherwise it would be a rebellion in the future.

The Ming Emperor is hopeless, so he wants to be a foreign vassal.

According to Zhu Youchang's intolerant nature, after he ascends the throne, the two younger brothers are afraid that they will not have a good life.

They themselves also planned in advance and wanted to go out to succeed the feudal clan.

"Then divide the Ottoman Empire into six parts, Chu, Shang, and Wei occupy one part, and then seal two vassal kings in the past, and the remaining one, and then divide a number of small vassal states, and all the countries that contributed this time will have a son in the past."

The Ottomans were too big.

Divided into two feudal kingdoms, I can't eat it.

The key Ottomans could not be killed at one time, and the future war may take twenty or thirty years before the Ottomans can be completely destroyed.

Then simply, seal off a lot of vassal states, and each of them will be in charge of one place.

"I think Ireland is good, Iceland is also good, suitable for the old forty-one's temperament, I will ask him what he means in a few days."

I am somewhat sorry for my son to go to Iceland.

His sons are all great vassal states.

There is nothing in Iceland but the aurora.

"Your Majesty, those places in the Kamal Alliance are good." Xie Qian said with a smile.

Zhu Qiyu bowed slightly, but he was still thinking about where his youngest son should go.

After chatting for a while, the emperor was about to eat, and after leaving them for dinner, he returned to the palace to deal with official business.

The emperor was in good health, and everything was running in an orderly manner in the Ming Dynasty.

From the 46th year of Jingtai, the railway was laid for ten years, almost through 54 provinces of the Ming Dynasty, from the fishing sea in the north to Malacca in the south.

From Sakhalin Island in the easternmost part to Khujand in the westernmost area, the whole line is open to traffic.

The railroad to the west is still being built.

It is necessary to connect Moscow to Beijing, and later to Warsaw, and even Berlin.

The ten-year protection period of railway technology expired, and starting this year, all countries began to build railways, and Daming was responsible for helping.

Jingtai has been successful in artificial power generation for 54 years.

In the fifty-fifth year of Jingtai, the first light bulb was born.

This year, the fifty-sixth year of Jingtai, the first electric lamp in Daming, the test was successful, marking the transition from the era of kerosene lamps to the era of electric lights.

The electrical revolution is quietly budding.

The first power plant of Daming was built in Gyeonggi, and it is expected that in the 59th year of Jingtai, within three years, the palace will be electrified.

The birth of electric light was deceptively easy.

But it is the emperor's long investment of fifteen years, behind which is the result of the painstaking research of nearly one million engineers, one error after another.

For electricity, the emperor waved his hand and implemented a monopoly of state-owned enterprises.

On the one hand, the investment is huge, and the capital may not be willing to invest, on the other hand, it is electricity, which is not in his own hands, Zhu Qiyu is not at ease.

As a result, the development of the electrical revolution has been slow.

Because the dividends of the steam revolution have not yet been eaten.

The factory is reluctant to toss, and now that it has made enough money, it will only find a way to change when the factory enters a dilemma.

Daming's super huge demographic dividend market has caused prosperity in all walks of life.

In the fifty-six years of Jingtai, the average monthly salary of Daming exceeded 1,000 yuan!

This is per capita, with a total population of 2.7 billion.

In recent years, the population growth has been slow, because the people live a better life, they are reluctant to have children, after all, they live a petty bourgeois life, and they are not willing to invest their energy in the next generation, but want to enjoy the good life now.

Another point is that the status of the mother-in-law's family has plummeted.

In the previous mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, the mother-in-law always occupied a dominant position, coupled with the role of filial piety, which led to the mother-in-law being arrogant and unreasonable.

In recent years, the price of private bride price has skyrocketed.

This bride price is not controlled by the center, but the people who make money in the outer domains come back to marry their daughters-in-law, and the bride price skyrockets.

Ming Nu is the first class of people in the world.

There is no girl who can't get married.

The Ming people of the foreign domain, who are used to playing with the aborigines and white women, think that the Ming women are good, so they do not hesitate to spend a lot of money and return to China to marry a daughter-in-law.

The policy also promotes the marriage of Ming women.

For Ming girls who marry outside, certain policy subsidies are given.

This has contributed to the fact that foreign marriage has become a trend.

Local men can't find a daughter-in-law, so they can only blindly raise the bride price, play hard to open the book, and bring down the ecology.

The price of the bride price has risen wildly year after year, buying a house and a car is the basic exercise, and now the sky-high bride price is added, which has led to a skyrocketing value of women in society.

It is more appropriate to have a daughter than a son!

directly shattered the secular concept of patriarchy among the people!

People are snobbish.

used to give birth to a son, because the son is a labor force, and he can also prevent old age.

Now my son is gnawing at the old.

One house, two cars, two bicycles are cheap, but the house is expensive, Daming real estate is growing steadily every year.

If you take out a loan to buy a house, you have to empty the wallets of three generations of grandparents.

Then I married my daughter-in-law and forgot my mother.

If you have to repay the loan and support your family and children, you can't support your parents at all, which causes the alienation of family affection, which was impossible to happen before.

Raising children to prevent old age, no one says it, but everyone is doing it.

What you don't do is a different kind and it's a crime.

Now, it's a different kind of work.

There are fewer and fewer people who are filial, and human nature is becoming more and more indifferent.

In the past, passers-by begged for saliva to drink, and the family would take out good things to entertain the guests who met in Pingshui.

Now, when relatives meet, there is no true word except for comparison, as for taking delicious food for relatives to eat, don't dream, my son is not enough to eat.

In the past, it was the parents who were in charge of the house, but now the children are in charge of the house.

The whole society has been turned upside down, and the people's hearts have been completely broken.

Even if the emperor issued a holy decree for many years, asking the people to read the scriptures hard, but whoever reads that thing, no one believes what it says, the way of the saint is the way of a fool, what is a loss is to take advantage, that is a fool, now it is a commodity society, wake up......

Datong society is so good, why don't house prices drop?

Why don't you raise wages and only house prices?

Why do you have no money in your pocket, but you have to spend it everywhere?

Social contradictions, class contradictions, are all intensifying.

Therefore, the common people will settle accounts and immediately find that it is appropriate to have a daughter, the daughter has a bride price, and it is no problem if the family does not subsidize the dowry.

A family of women asks for hundreds of families, this is the norm.

If the daughter is ugly, she can marry well.

If you are beautiful, then go to the dignitaries and dignitaries as concubines, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven.

As a direct effect, the fertility rate of the private sector has decreased.

In the past, the family was eager to have 20 children because of tax exemption.

Now, I can't wait to give birth to one, preferably a daughter, and don't give birth to a son, that unlucky thing......

There is also a direct cause, which is the issue of immigration.

The emperor forced the migration of families with many children and daughters, which caused the people to dare not have children, and they were raised and raised, and they were removed, and they died unlucky.

Women's status has skyrocketed.

The son's status plummeted.

In the forty-fifth year of Jingtai, the first case in Daming appeared, the son did not provide for his parents, and the son was sentenced to be an immigrant fisherman.

At that time, the whole society blamed this son.

Now, it has become common for sons not to provide for their parents in the elderly, and there are fewer and fewer voices of accusation.

In the 50th year of Jingtai, the emperor issued a decree that children have the obligation to provide for their parents, and those who do not provide for the elderly will be sentenced to death.

Needless to say before? This is a ritual that has been established for 2,000 years, and does it still use a holy decree?

But now, it has become an obligation, and it is something that must be undertaken!

And this, there is little response.

The people don't hold officials accountable, there are only ruthless children in the world, and there are no ruthless fathers and mothers, which father and mother are willing to sue their children to the government.

Because my father and mother are reluctant, this wave of atmosphere is spreading to the whole society.

In the same year, the Ming Dynasty established the Eighth Ministry, the Ministry of Justice.

Courts are set up by the private sector to administer civil cases.

But the social atmosphere cannot be changed by a holy decree.

Just like the foot binding at the beginning, how many holy decrees the emperor issued, it was not of great use, and in the end, the emperor drove the official lady who bound the feet home, which stopped the foot-binding turmoil in the officialdom.

However, to this day, there are people who are bound their feet.

It's just that it's not the Han people who bind their feet, and women abroad have to bind their feet, whether the Han people have it, will the emperor know?

Regarding this matter, the emperor did not stop issuing holy decrees, and every year there were holy decrees, but it was still useless.

This deformed aesthetic is incomprehensible.

can't stop this trend, there is no buying and selling, there is no killing.

There is also the drowning of female infants, which has been happening all these years.

However, in recent years, after the fertility rate plummeted, it was true that there were few, almost none, because baby girls were worth a lot.

sent to the almshouse, so that the emperor could help raise fewer baby girls.

In the first few waves, these baby girls went to the folk to teach, and they were doing well.

After that, after receiving education, all of them were sent to foreign vassals.

Ordinary people will take advantage of loopholes.

found that when he went to the outer domain, he was definitely unwilling to send his daughter to Beijing and let the emperor's fool help raise her.

The birth rate plummeted.

Mortality rates are also plummeting!

Since the emperor forcibly implemented the insurance system, the average life expectancy has increased year by year, from 57 years old per capita in the 46th year of Jingtai to 67 years old per capita in the 56th year of Jingtai.

It was postponed for a whole decade.

Just for the pension!

Retire at the age of 55, live with a pension after retirement, and they are not willing to die if they don't earn back.

Aging has become the future development trend.

Therefore, in the fifty-fifth year of Jingtai, the center issued a decree to encourage people to have children.

But the effect is poor.

In the 56th year of Jingtai, the central government issued a decree to abolish forced immigration and replace it with voluntary immigration.

In order to give birth, the center is also fighting.

Over the years, 50 million people have migrated out every year.

The number of people who have voluntarily emigrated is around 10 million, and these are all skilled populations, and they earn more money by going to foreign vassals than their own country, so they are willing to emigrate.

This kind of immigration is a kind of family and mouth, and it is also an ideal immigration state, and you can get double subsidies.

The Ming Dynasty gave one copy, and the vassal kingdom gave one copy.

Now that forced immigration is abolished, it means that the pace of Ming conquest may have to be temporarily stopped.

But the smart will find that the center is playing with words.

The center can completely immigrate by conscription, and female soldiers are also recruited, this kind of thing is not unprecedented, the first batch of people to move to Wei that year were male soldiers and female soldiers.

The capitalists know best that they are now making so much money and eating the demographic dividend.

Now in the market, the young and strong labor force, as high as 1.5 billion, these people are the main consumer market, the market is extremely prosperous, and the Ming Dynasty young labor force has a direct relationship.

The official financial report said that if Daming continues to reduce the fertility rate, it will enter an aging society in the next 30 years.

Thinking about the consumer market for the elderly, the capitalists shudder.

Daming capitalists are not allowed to exploit policy loopholes, let alone run away after making money.

Daming supports doing industry, being a century-old industrial company, and being a regular company with a solid foundation, and cracking down on the kind of opportunistic and black-hearted enterprises.

This is social responsibility.

Of course, who doesn't want to make smart money, there are policies and countermeasures.

But the emperor closed the loophole.

Enforce corporate social responsibility.

You don't, okay, I'll teach you, you can't teach, then I'm sorry, you go to hell.

Forcing capitalists to do business, forcing them to donate money to charity.

In order to beware of them transferring assets.

A tax on the rich has long been levied.

Everyone's family background is checked once a year, and taxes are collected according to assets, if it is buried in the ground, well, you will never see the light, and once you see the light, you can be punished to death.

The tax collector is not a cannibal and has no right to kill, but he can give you a fine.

For the rich, don't let them die, let them see that the money is gone, that is the most cruel.

In order to calculate the assets of all wealthy businessmen in the country, the Ministry of Finance has 200,000 counters, that is, accountants, and there are more than 100,000 accountants in the palace.

Count every day, check every day.

If you pay the tax on the rich, there are also benefits, and every charity dinner will invite you, after all, you are rich.

If you want to leave, there is no way.

In order to check taxes, the Ministry of Finance strictly guards against leather bag companies, impostor legal persons, and so on.

Even, in order to smoothly collect taxes, the central stock market plan has not been launched.

The stock market, in fact, was born when Jingtai was 12 years old, and the center did not support it, because of this kind of private fundraising, it is easy to give birth to scammers.

The emperor has always used the stock market as the next reservoir.

But now that real estate is developing steadily, the emperor does not plan to make the stock market bigger, but maintains the status quo, and the center does not support or oppose it.

Therefore, the capital is strictly controlled in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Then they can only support folk fertility.

After all, when there are many people, the market is big, and they can continue to make money.

If you want to make money, you can run, and if you have a disaster in the industry, you have to ask yourself if your neck is hard, and the nine clans disagree.

Anyway, during the Jingtai years, no one dared to go against the emperor.

After the Wanshou Festival, the emperor issued a decree to implement the five-child policy, encouraging and supporting young men and women to have more than five children, and giving policy rewards to the sixth child.

And take out a part of the local rich tax and use it as an infant fund to provide social convenience services for infants and young children, that is, infants and young children are free of tickets, tax exemption, and gifts of snacks.

This can make the rich businessman cry bitterly.

The emperor must have cut their flesh again to subsidize the poor.

In the whole Ming Dynasty, there is no absolute poor, Jingtai forty-four years, the center set the poor line is the annual family income of less than 500 yuan.

In the following years, from 500 yuan, the annual adjustment will be upward.

For families who cannot earn 500 yuan, local officials will provide non-welfare assistance after understanding the situation, that is, to help them find a job, and cannot give money.

If you are destitute because of laziness or other reasons, you will all move to the border.

If extreme poverty is caused by external factors such as disease, natural disasters, and force majeure, local officials must provide one-on-one assistance.

This is called targeted poverty alleviation.

Therefore, I can't find a homeless person in Daming, and I can't find a destitute family.

The emperor would send people down every year to visit.

In Daming, as long as you are not lazy, it is very easy for a family to earn 500 yuan a year, even if you go to work in the factory for ten days, you can earn it.

Don't underestimate the disabled, the disabled are still self-reliant, there are many disabled people who repair watches and leather shoes, and people still live a good life.

Daming is a policy to take care of the disabled.

Subsidize some rice and grain money every month, the money is not much, but it will definitely not starve to death.

By the 56th year of Jingtai, the extreme poverty line had reached 830 yuan.

Now, the per capita monthly income has reached 1,000 yuan, and a person has to earn 12,000 yuan a year, and a family has an annual income of more than 30,000 yuan.

And that's not even counting the appreciation of the property.

If you count the family's foundation, the peasants have land, and the land is their own, and the city has houses, and the houses are also their own.

They are all appreciated assets.

The peasants are living a good life, with the development of commerce, the Ming Dynasty has increased the agricultural subsidy year by year, Jingtai fifty-six years, the agricultural subsidy per mu of land has reached 200 pieces, and a family has 20 acres of land, which is 4,000 pieces.

The peasants who grow grain and add agricultural subsidies do not earn as much as the workers in the cities, but they are not much worse.

In the 56 years of Jingtai, the per capita monthly income of farmers was about 760 yuan.

The average monthly income of workers is 1,200 yuan.

But the peasants have no housing pressure and no transportation costs.

Living in the city, housing pressure and transportation pressure, is a big expense.

If averaged, peasants and workers earn about the same.

But workers have room to rise.

1,200 yuan for foundation workers, and 6,000 yuan for engineers per month.

But farmers, no matter how good your farming level is, you are still fighting this grain and making this money, and there is no room for growth.

The advantage is to stay at home and not have to go out.

There are many migrant workers who go to the city to work, but they are not welcomed, and the policy does not welcome them.

This is the entry into the city and the people in the city to grab jobs, resulting in an increase in the unemployment rate in the city.

That's right, the peasants also gave birth to sons in large numbers, a bunch of sons, but they had no land, and they had no land to plant in the countryside, so they could only go to the city and fight for jobs with the people in the city.

But they can emigrate, go to the new land, and they will have a share of the land.

There is no Ming Dynasty itself, and the foreign domains are all land, but there is a shortage of people.

In fact, there are also local areas, and there is a large area of frozen soil in the north, so you can live by growing food.

For such migrant workers, the policy does not support them at all, and even drives them back to their hometowns.

The city workers don't want to see them anymore.

There is a lot of pressure in the city, the unions are clamoring for a wage increase, and the workers want to raise their wages.

But migrant workers are cheap.

Capitalists use peasant workers to lower prices with workers, but migrant workers are not good at technical content, and if they want to learn technology, they have to be led by a master, and people in the city do not take peasant workers as apprentices at all.

As a result, peasant workers have become a means for capitalists to lower prices, and the contradictions between peasant workers and workers have intensified.

Of course, migrant workers are cheap, they have no skills, and they have land at home, so they have no worries, and they come out to work to make money to marry a daughter-in-law in the city.

In terms of marrying a daughter-in-law, he made the people in the city angry.

How many beautiful daughters-in-law married to the countryside.

Because rural people can afford to give a bride price, some rural people have five daughters and three sons, and they deduct the bride price of their daughters, all of which are used for their sons' marriages.

The city used to do the same.

But the girls in the city were well-educated and independent-minded, and they kept resisting, causing the wind to blow hard into the countryside.

Rural girls also read, but their voices are still too small to resist the patriarch, and even if the court has a policy, the officials cannot judge the short affairs of the parents.

People in the city can't marry a daughter-in-law, but people in the countryside can marry a daughter-in-law, and the contradiction comes again.

However, as the peasants spread out from generation to generation, the land at home could not support too many people, let alone marry a daughter-in-law.

In order to force the landless peasants to emigrate, the central government dealt with the landless rural people as black households, and filled in the household registration as black households.

Landless rural people are required to either emigrate to Xindi, or master a skill in a factory and become a skilled worker, and only after passing an assessment can they change their household registration.

This has directly led to a large-scale outflow of rural labor and the removal of foreign vassals.

If you don't move, you can't do it.

The technology in the factory is passed on by word of mouth from the master, and only to his own apprentices.

The contradiction between urban people and rural people has a long history, and this generation has suffered from being squeezed by migrant workers, so they cherish themselves and absolutely do not hand over technology to rural people.

This has led to a wave of emigration in recent years in which a large number of landless rural people have been forced to emigrate to other domains.

I really can't get enough to eat at home.

For example, a family of 20 acres of land was divided by Jingtai in the ninth year, and the plan at that time was to remain unchanged for 30 years.

But now it is the fifty-sixth year of Jingtai, and forty-seven years have passed, and when it was just divided, everyone was beaming.

In recent years, the center has been crazy to encourage childbearing.

So it caused 20 acres of land, three generations, and a total of 100 men and women to eat.

The family has a sad face, counting the grains of rice to live.

Either emigrate, or go to learn technology.

Women are easy to say, how can they get married, but what about dozens of men in the family? They still have to marry a wife!

In particular, the king of the outer domain said that the division of his daughter-in-law in Xindi immediately attracted tens of millions of people to flee.

Thanks to the emperor's large-scale conscription among the people in recent years, and constantly subsidizing the peasants, otherwise the people would have rebelled a long time ago.

Since the beginning of Jingtai 40 years, the number of civil conscriptions in the imperial court has exceeded 200 million.

Only then did the contradiction between people and land in rural areas be alleviated.

In addition, agricultural subsidies and targeted poverty alleviation.

No matter how hard it is for the people, they can still eat a mouthful of food, and no matter how hard the family is, they have to provide for their children to study.

As of Jingtai's 56th year, the folk literacy rate has reached 95%.

The number of people who have completed three years of education has reached 1.3 billion.

The population of those who have completed six years of education is around 700 million.

Nine-year education, around 200 million.

Of the 12 years of education, only 40 million people.

Because of education, the people know a little bit of culture, know that there is a clear road ahead, and when they go to Xindi, they don't have to endure the contradiction between man and land, there is a large piece of land, there is also a daughter-in-law, there is everything, but there is no hometown.

But in this era, is hometown still so important?

As long as the peasants had a way to live, they would not rebel, which was also the reason why the emperor had a firm grip on the grassroots.

From the 50th year of Jingtai to the 56th year of Jingtai, in these six years, there was not a single case of rebellion in the Ming Dynasty.

Because all the people can eat enough, not to mention that all of them have a good life, but most of the people can live a good life, as long as they are willing to work hard and endure hardships, they can live a good life.
