The fifth day of the fifth month of May.

Canonized the crown prince, Shang King Zhu Jianyu was officially canonized as the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

At the canonization ceremony, Zhu Jianyu rode in a car, which was not pulled by a horse-drawn carriage, nor was it a steam locomotive, but a car powered by an internal combustion engine and driven by diesel fuel.

The world's first automobile is born.

The old emperor personally took up the pen and wrote the two words of the dragon flag, the dragon flag brand car.

On the ninth day of the fifth month, the abolished prince Zhu Jianqi was canonized as the king of Shang, and succeeded the feudal Shang State, and abolished the grandson Zhu Youyu as the prince of the Shang State.

and canonized Zhu Jianqi's six sons as kings, and all of them were sent to Europe to succeed the vassals.

Zhu saw the news that Qi was crazy, but the old emperor didn't know.

Zhu Youyu entered the palace to thank him.

Zhu Qiyu didn't want to see him, the intimate grandson was a stranger because of power after all, this is the royal family.

Zhu Youchang was outside the noon gate, bowing three times and knocking at the palace gate.

On July 11, he embarked on the fleet of the successor domain and went to the Shang State to succeed the domain, and the abolished crown princess Yang died of illness on the ship, and on the way to the Shang Kingdom, Zhu Jianqi died of illness due to unadaptation to the water and soil.

Zhu Youyu didn't let people report the funeral, and the old emperor might not be willing to listen to the news of his family, but he handled the Shang dynasty as the prince of Shang, and was actually the emperor of Shang.

Zhu Youjun is still in the Shang State and will leave for Beijing on the first day of October.

During this period, he will completely tell Zhu Youyu about the situation in Shangguo.

As soon as autumn began, the old emperor fell ill.

The doctor said that when the oil ran out, the lamp was dry, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive for too long.

"Fourth, I know my body."

After changing the crown prince, Zhu Qiyu was depressed, and a cold wind blew and blew it down.

"Whether it's sick or sick, it's always in the body, and something will go wrong."

"Have you settled down?"

Zhu Jianyu didn't dare to tell him the news that the boss had died of illness.

"Dad, don't worry about it, Da Ming has it, his son will give it to his family, this is what his son owes him." Zhu Jianyu reassured his father.

Zhu Qiyu showed a smile on his face: "If the boss had your mind, he would not end up like this." ”

"When I die, the world will be in chaos."

"The endless attacks of various countries are both opportunities and challenges for the Ming Dynasty."

"The so-called challenge is to do a good job in the suzerain, mediate the relations between countries, and maintain the face of the suzerain, which tests the political vision and diplomatic level.

"The opportunity is that if you want to expand your territory on the basis of me, the opportunity will come, the countries will be at war, some countries will inevitably be destroyed, and some countries will be weakened, and they will ask to be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty."

"I believe in your ability to do this."

"But we must remember one thing, science and technology are the primary productive forces, whether it is to compete for hegemony or engage in the economy, we must pay attention to science and technology, and we must not slack off in the slightest."

"Direct investment in scientific research may not have any effect, invest in the military industry, speed up the upgrading of the military industry, and use the military industry to stimulate the development of the civilian industry."

Zhu Qiyu taught earnestly.

"My son knows."

Zhu Jianyu said: "After Erchen succeeded to the crown prince's throne, he invested 300 million yuan in research and development funds in the state-owned research institute, and invested about 3 billion yuan in the electrical industry. ”

"In August, Erchen further invested in the military industry and carried out a new round of electrical innovation, with an estimated investment of 2 billion."

"Erchen is expected to take out 10 billion yuan to invest in new industries and new industries."

Zhu Qiyu nodded with satisfaction: "You should see the train of Daming, it is different from your Shangguo, right?" The speed of the Ming train is much faster than that of the feudal train, which is due to technological innovation. ”

"At the Prince's Ceremony, the engine of the car you ride in is an internal combustion engine, from a steam engine to an internal combustion engine, it is a revolutionary development."

"In just 20 years, from the steam engine to the internal combustion engine, it is a masterpiece in which I have invested tens of billions of dollars."

"Believe me, internal combustion will change the world."

"But research and development, you need to continue to invest a lot of money, you don't have to be stingy, even though I invest 10 billion, but the return is far more than 10 billion, remember, scientific research investment is endless, don't be afraid of failure, don't worry about waste, investment is a long-term momentum, continuous is the most important."

"The car you are riding in is carved out by craftsmen with knives and axes, and if you want to mass produce and promote, you need a lot of money."

"Not to mention, the internal combustion engine is just a small step in the history of human development."

"I am very pleased to plan to invest 10 billion, but it is far from enough, and it is worth investing in scientific research."

"Then a technical barrier will be formed, and sooner or later you will get technical returns, and then you will not earn this small amount of money."

"Like Coke, I invested more than a billion in order to get the formula, and now, is the return of Coke to me tens of billions?"

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Investment must not only have vision, but also have courage, perseverance and long-term strength, and continuous investment can only have returns." ”

Zhu Jianyu said that he would be used.

"Fourth, don't you want to know, what's in the sky?"

Zhu Qiyu pointed to the sky: "What are those twinkling stars?" On the moon hanging high in the night sky, is there a Chang'e? How far away is the sun that illuminates the heavens and the earth? Don't you want to go up and have a look? ”

"Daddy? You mean? Can fly? ”

Zhu Jianyu grabbed his hair and muttered, "This old man is talking nonsense, right?" ”

"Huh, fly? What a lot! The internal combustion engine has been successfully developed, and within ten years, you will be able to fly into the sky, and anyone can go to the sky! ”

Zhu Qiyu said: "But above the starry sky, who can go?" ”

"And the Antarctic and the Arctic, what secrets are buried under the thick glaciers?"

"Where did humans come from? Where does the soul go? How did this gold and silver condense into it? How deep is this underground? What's in the depths of the earth? ”

"There are so many secrets in this world."

"Fourth, it's time for you to explore."

"Perhaps, after my father died, he went to the far reaches of space, not to the underground."

"If you want to follow in Daddy's footsteps, just look up there."

"One day, the secrets of this world, this earth, and this universe will be explored by the Ming Dynasty."

But Zhu Jianyu was muttering: "Heaven, heaven? ”

He was thinking, if he could fly, how would the war be fought? Can you throw a large army of the past and blossom in the enemy's nest?

Zhu Qiyu found that he had said a lot, but the fourth child was wandering out of the world.

"What do you think?" Zhu Qiyu looked at him dissatisfied.

"Dad, you go on." Zhu saw a smile.

"I'm talking to you, what's your name?"

Zhu Qiyu said angrily: "Remember, you have to go to heaven!" To develop an airplane! ”

"Erchen knows."

"Fuck off!"

Zhu Qiyu didn't want to see him, he wasn't much stronger than the boss, he was all elm heads.

In times of peace, why go to heaven?

Because by taking advantage of the opportunity of heaven, we can study weapons and new technologies.

Otherwise, people are inert, and who wants to toss around when life is good.

Daming has no opponent now, so he has to go to space to find an enemy and treat it as an imaginary enemy, doesn't Lao Mei do this.

An isolated island, flirting around and igniting fires everywhere, one is to show a sense of existence, and the other is to find pressure on yourself, otherwise an isolated island is too superior, there is everything, you don't want to do anything, where is the upward motivation.

Many civilian things are first used by the military, and after the military is eliminated, they are put into the civilian sector to make money, so Zhu Qiyu also attaches great importance to the construction of the military industry.

On October 18, the eldest son of the crown prince, Zhu Youqi, arrived in Beijing.

He kept going into the harem to meet the old emperor.

He was in the palace as a child, taught by the old emperor, and only went out when he was a teenager, but even if there was a little family attachment, after all, it was too long, and the family affection was almost gone.

But Zhu Youqi started crying when he entered the hall, telling interesting things about his childhood, and telling the old emperor that he had him in his heart.

But the old emperor has lived for more than eighty years, what can't he see through?

"Your dad is still waiting for you, go ahead." Zhu Qiyu found that this Zhu Youqi, who was rubbed by the fourth child, was not easy to deal with.

It seems that his own education method is wrong.

Where can people who don't experience wind and rain become real pillars?

He was too good to his sons, especially the eldest one, who had been too protective in the past few years, so he didn't know what to do.

Really.

As soon as Zhu Youzhen entered the East Palace, Zhu Jianyu, who was dealing with government affairs, sneered and said, "Yo, isn't this the prince...... Oh, grandson, I'm pretty good at finding a backer, I'm ...... It's really a lonely big boy. ”

"The son knows his mistake."

Zhu Youjun is really tricky, he should inform his father and go to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but he wants to surprise the old man and win the old man's heart.

"Great, what's wrong with you? The old man is your own grandfather, you should be filial piety, how can you find fault with you? ”

Zhu Jianyu said in a strange manner: "The old man is worried that you are not used to living in the East Palace and Lonely, so let you live in the Wanshou Palace, your grandfather is good enough for you, right?" ”

"Son-in-law, thank you, Grandpa Longen!"

When Zhu Youqi saw his father, it was really a mouse who saw the cat, and he was trembling.

"Thank you to your grandfather." Zhu Jianyu told him to get out.

Zhu Youqi was directly stunned.

I just came out of the Heart Cultivation Temple, and I still go to thank you?

This is his father's revenge.

When he came back from a long journey, as soon as he entered the palace, his father gave him a dismount and asked him to pick up his tail and be a man.

Don't think that there is an old man sitting on it, so you dare to go against him Zhu Jianyu! No way!

Zhu Jianyu purely used his son as a tool.

The third king of Zhao, the first soldier every time, evolved from a fierce general to a fierce handsome, he was exchanged for a scar, and the soldier is also someone else's son, someone else's son can die, why can't my Zhu Jianyu's son die?

Therefore, the second king of Qi, the third king of Zhao, and the fourth king of Lu are all very brave, and they are always the first to rush forward in battle.

So a huge country has been laid.

It was all fought down by the five of them.

The generals of the Shang Kingdom, they were all discovered by his Zhu Jianyu's discernment, and they were all excavated by him one by one, and the real fierce handsomeness was the five of them.

The most ridiculous thing is that Zhu Jianyu has never taken the lead.

Every time he fought, it was his son who took the lead in the charge, and the third king Zhao went to the battlefield at the age of twelve, and he lost the first battle, and his father was carried out of the army, and he was beaten with thirty military sticks afterwards, because he made a mistake in command, which led to defeat.

Lao Silu Wang went to the battlefield at the age of eleven, fought bravely, commanded rudely, and was a wise general.

Folk people say that Zhu Jianyu has four sons, four heroes, one family and five handsomes, where did he come from, what kind of natural famous general, one will succeed and ten thousand bones are withered, all of them are piled up with human lives, and they crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, and they became famous generals.

Zhu Youqi also went to the battlefield, when attacking Moscow, he took the lead, climbed the Moscow wall, was hit by more than a dozen arrows, and relied on tenacity, finally gnawed Moscow down, and finally destroyed the Moscow Khanate.

It was the battle of the founding of the Shang State, the second king of Qi only led 5,000 people, and blocked hundreds of thousands of reinforcements from the Moscow Khanate outside the fortress, 5,000 people, and in the end only a dozen of them lived.

Everyone else saw the scenery of the Shang Wang's family.

But I can't see that in every war, the king of Shang personally led the troops to fight, and the three sons of the king of Shang rushed to the front, and the arrows were not long-sighted, and I didn't know if you were the son of the king, or an ordinary soldier, and it was luck to fight.

Every inch of the territory of the Shang Kingdom was fought down by the Shang Wang's family.

In Zhu Jianyu's heart, these four are not his sons, but four top generals, especially King Zhao, who is fiercely handsome.

The Ming courtiers of the Ming Dynasty considered Zhu Youqi to be a governing emperor.

On the contrary, it's just that his younger brothers are too dazzling and cover his edge.

Among the emperors and grandsons of the old emperor, Zhu Youqi's military level can rank in the top ten, and this guy has fought in battles, and he is equally brave in battle.

It's just that Zhu Jianyu went on an expedition and needed him to supervise the country and stabilize the situation.

The Ming courtiers valued him for being honest.

As everyone knows, this kind of honesty is compared with King Qi, King Zhao, and King Lu, these three guys are all famous and handsome, no matter how bad Zhu Youqi is, he is also a top celebrity.

Don't look at his father, Zhu Jianyu's military strength can fight with Emperor Taizong.

In the whole of Eastern Europe, with a population of more than 100 million, like the Moscow Khanate, it is the top empire in Eastern Europe.

And now, where have the more than 100 million whites in Eastern Europe gone?

In the sixty-fourth year of Jingtai, the Shang, Qi, Zhao, and Lu states had a total population of 490 million, of which only 60 million were whites, most of whom were subservients, and a small part were Cossack cavalry.

These white people, who take on the dirtiest and most tiring work in Eastern Europe, are surviving for a long time.

The Great Merchants did not have slaves, in fact, there were slaves.

These 60 million white people, with Zhu Jianxi's pressure, can't make a splash.

can be replaced by Zhu Jianqi to become a business king, but it may not be.

After Zhu Jianyu returned to the Ming Dynasty, he did not have a long novice period, and soon became like a fish in water.

And the officials in the court are also observing Zhu Jianyu and observing his style of doing things.

Zhu Jianyu, like the old emperor, always looks at the good performance, rather than taking power casually.

Zhu Jianqi is different, Zhu Jianqi just took back the approval of the red right after he was completely in power, and in just three months, he sent the approval of the red right back to the celebrant supervisor.

It's really exhausting.

Even if Emperor Taizu was resurrected, it would be impossible to handle all the government affairs of such a huge territory, and one person would not be able to handle it in twenty-four hours.

Just like the celebrant eunuch, Jingtai forty years ago, there was only one palm print eunuch.

Now, there are four palm print eunuchs, more than 20 eunuchs with a pen, and more than 70 eunuchs with the court, and this is still increasing year by year, which is really tiring.

After the imperial power went to the countryside, even the trivial things in the village needed the imperial approval.

All kinds of things in the village, such as the chicken lost and the dog lost, the place is found or not, it is necessary to write a report, as long as the case is reported, a report must be formed and sent to it.

It's not that the court directly cares, but the court knows.

Just like the cabinet, when Jingtai was forty years old, there was one first assistant and six cabinet ministers, and in the sixty years of Jingtai, there was one first assistant and ten cabinet ministers, and in the past two years, it has increased to sixteen cabinet ministers.

The eighth department also added a deputy secretary, and added four deputy attendants, which is too busy, and everything from top to bottom has to be managed.

The number of local officials is also increasing year by year, and with the deepening of the Beijing Inspection, the civil government affairs are reported in detail, and the top also needs to be dealt with, so it is necessary to increase the corresponding establishment.

A few years ago, there would be people shouting redundant officials, but now no one is talking about it, they are all shouting to increase the number of people, it's too busy.

The six departments were expanded to eight, and the government and the opposition were dissatisfied.

Now, the eight departments are going to be expanded to sixteen, and the power is indeed decentralized, the problem is that it is too busy, a book is only stamped a day, and it can't be covered in a day, and the government affairs have not yet been disposed of, and it still needs to be discussed, and it is necessary to go to the court in the morning, and to enter the palace to report, and participate in the decision-making of major events, not to mention one person, three people are too busy.

Therefore, the imperial court unanimously passed, Jingtai sixty-six years, the addition of eight departments, four temples, two courtyards.

After that, it was sixteen departments, ten temples, four courtyards, and twenty-four divisions.

Controls should also be added, added and modified on the basis.

For example, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Forestry, the Ministry of Education, etc., all have to set up separate ministries, and two deputy waiters will be added, that is, there will be six deputy waiters.

Shangshu is a positive and a pair, two waiters on the left and right, six deputy waiters, and a deputy waiter can be added as appropriate.

The cabinet should be supplemented with cabinet ministers, and become one first assistant, one secondary minister, and twenty-one cabinet ministers, with a total number of 23 ministers, and the reason for the odd number is to facilitate voting.

All along, the big things in the cabinet have been voted on.

Let Zhu Jianyu finish reading all the major events in the world, and he can be tired to death in a day.

Therefore, he improved the post yellow, summarized the important events, abbreviated them into four words, submitted them, and he read them in four hours.

At this point, he is very similar to the old emperor, believing in the courtiers, only responsible for major affairs, making decisions on major matters, and almost delegating power to the cabinet for other matters.

Zhu Jianqi is different, he wants to grasp all the big and small things in his hands, and he doesn't know how to grasp the heavy and let go of the light.

But he is still diligent, and he spends more than eight hours a day watching the recital, but he still can't finish it, even if he adds another eight hours.

Zhu Jianyu can't compare to him.

He was irritable after watching it for a while, barely watched it for four hours, and basically threw it to Zhu Youjun to see, he stayed in the palace with a painful egg, and actually got a horse and rode it in the palace.

His princess has long since died, and he has not set up a princess for many years, and no one can control him when he was in the Shang Kingdom, a group of concubines have no sons, who dares to say him.

He circled a racetrack in the Forbidden City and ran in it every day.

When it comes to the Ming Dynasty, the bad habits will not change.

As a result, he was sued by the courtiers to the old emperor.

At the end of October, the old emperor was in good health and was strolling around the palace, and Zhu Jianyu came over to ask for guilt.

"Hey, Da Ming is different from your Shang country, right?" Zhu Qiyu didn't blame him.

"Dad, my son has been restless since he was a child, and the most annoying thing about galloping across the field over the years is to sit in this deep palace, and those officials know his son's character, and they also impeach his son."

Zhu Jianyu helped his father and sneered twice: "Don't you just want to test your son's mind, and I also want to see you, whether you are protecting my son and me, or facing the courtiers." ”

He knew his father's character too well, and his father wouldn't take this little thing to heart.

"Collect your wildness."

Zhu Qiyu said: "The official dares to be tempted, which means that your Shang army is no longer reliable, and I asked you before, how to choose your path, it's time to make a choice." ”

"If you are infiltrated, you will be infiltrated, you are still there, and your son will not die."

Zhu Jianyu didn't care: "Governing the government is like boiling an eagle, you are too kind to them, so you dare to speculate about Tianxin, and when your son succeeds to the throne, let them know that Tianxin is unpredictable!" ”

"Fourth, take care of yourself." Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "Bow your head when you should bow your head, don't suffer." ”

"My son understands."

Zhu Jianyu said: "When my son went back, he slaughtered the horse and ate meat." ”

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Go to Fengtian Hall to eat." ”

"Hahaha!" Zhu Jianyu laughed, and it was interesting to chat with the old man.

"In the past few years, for the sake of the boss, I have to pretend to be cowardly, you are back, I don't have to pretend, and I don't have a few days to live, live more comfortably, it's up to you, okay?"

Zhu Jianyu knelt on the ground: "My son will ensure that my father will not be wronged in one day!" ”

Zhu Qiyu patted his head: "Good son." ”

Zhu Jianyu really killed the horse, then cooked meat to eat in the Fengtian Temple, and sent a bowl of horse meat to the officials of various official residences.

"The fourth is still the fourth."

Ma Wensheng hooked the corners of his mouth: "This is a provocation to the courtiers." ”

"It's been thirty years, and it hasn't changed."

Yu Zijun ate horse meat: "It would be nice if it was a little more rotten, this kid doesn't think about the old courtier's teeth at all." ”

"It's a fiery horse, it takes time to tame a fiery horse, take your time." Ma Wensheng also ate a piece of horse meat and distributed it to others.

In this confrontation, it is impossible to talk about who wins and who loses, but the courtiers clearly understood Zhu Jianxi's character for the first time.

But at this time, the news of the submission of the Japanese kingdom came.

Wang Shu and Yang Xin successfully recovered the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa Kingdom officially became the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

The good news came to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The old emperor's face was full of joy: "The last piece of the Ming Dynasty has been gathered, and the Ezo Island will be taken out from the Heilongjiang River, and the three islands of the Japanese Kingdom will be put together and set up as the Japanese Province, referred to as Qi or Wa." ”

"The land of Qilu is the land of the Wa Kingdom and Shandong, and it is the land of Qilu of me."

"Set up Tokyo again, for the fifth Beijing division of the Ming Dynasty, and set up East Zhili."

"This Ming territory is completely complete."

He walked to the map, his eyes were not very good, and a eunuch showed him with a magnifying glass: "Announce the prince." ”

When Zhu Jianyu entered the hall, he saw his father being supported by two eunuchs, holding a magnifying glass and looking at the map.

"There are a total of sixty provinces in the Ming Dynasty, each province is regarded as a star, I want to add fifty-seven stars to the national flag, what do you think?"

The 60 provinces are: Lena, Yuerhai, Mongolia, Turkic, Tatar, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Korea, Japan, Dongzhili, Rehe, Beizhili, Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai, Xiyu, Yili, Altai, Uriya Sutai, Tangnu Wulianghai, Ulanqab, Yenisei, Fergana, Xizhili, Uszchen, Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Dali, North Burma, South Myanmar, Bangladesh, Malacca, Xinyi, Xinjing, Xinyang, Jiaozhi, Xinxu, Xinyan, Xinqing, Bianzhili, Luzon, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Nanzhili, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Henan.

The Bohai Bay and the Korean Gulf are being filled in, and the provinces of Bohai and Huanghai will be added.

There are a total of 55 provinces in Beijing.

The northern permafrost area is huge, about 6 million square kilometres.

The total territory of the Ming Dynasty is more than 21 million, and the habitable territory has reached 15 million.

At the western end is the sea, as far as the Bering Strait, stretching from the Kamchatka Peninsula to the small islands of the Americas, all of which are controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

The westernmost provinces are Turkic and Japanese.

The eastern territory is divided by the Ob River-Lake Balkhash - Khujand, and in fact, the Ming Dynasty occupies the entire Pamir Plateau and most of the Hindu Kush Mountains.

Even though these places are barren, there are more than one million territories, although they are not included in the Ming Dynasty, they are actually the territories controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

The territory controlled by the Ming Dynasty is around 23 million.

When Lao Su was the best, 22.4 million square kilometers, in fact, there were more than 10 million frozen soil, Central Asia and other places full of wind and sand, can it be compared with Southeast Asia?

A cochin, all richer than the whole of Central Asia.

The real habitable place of Lao Su is a small piece of territory in Eastern Europe, with 4 million square kilometers in the sky, which is actually similar to the current China.

The Ming Dynasty occupied the entire Southeast Asia, destroying Annam, Siam, Laos, Cambodia, Burma and Bangladesh, occupying all the anointed land.

There are also more affluent Borneo and Luzon.

The country is rotten, with volcanoes, tsunamis, and earthquakes every year, but it is also richer than Central Asia, at least people rely on the sea.

Comparing the area horizontally, Daming is larger than Lao Su.

If you compare the richness vertically, ten old Su can't compare to Daming.

To tell the truth, the essence of China, since Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, is Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Shandong, Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and that's it, even Hunan, Guangxi, and Guizhou are not the essence of the region, barely counted.

The Ming Dynasty increased the Northeast, the Songliao Plain, the Sanjiang Plain, and the Heilongjiang Plain, three huge plains, because of the emergence of cold-tolerant crops, the Northeast was used, otherwise it would be useless at all.

and added Southeast Asia, the land of Southeast Asia.

With the diversion of the Yenisei River and the Lena River, the once desolate north will also prosper again, after all, the north is short of water, solve the water source problem, and the north will restore the glory of the Han Dynasty, just around the corner.

With the addition of the Xing'an Mountains, two more wealthy provinces will be added.

The most important thing is that Daming has countless worlds of good harbors.

Old Su didn't.

There are many people in the Ming Dynasty, the total population of the Ming Dynasty has reached 3.91 billion, and Jingtai can exceed 4 billion in 66 years.

The Ming Dynasty is a single nation, which is different from a country composed of hundreds of ethnic groups like Lao Su.

Therefore, compared with the same period, the current Da Ming is even stronger than Lao Su.

"Dad, if the Ming Dynasty expands its territory in the future, do you still have to change the national flag?" Zhu Jianyu thought it was a big deal, the country was originally meat on a plate, and it was just harvested early and harvested late.

"If you can govern this huge Ming well, you can be content." Zhu Qiyu didn't have a good airway.

"Dad, if you are incorporated into the Wa Kingdom, it is only fifty-nine provinces? Where did the sixty come from? Zhu Jianyu asked.

To be the emperor of such a huge empire, Zhu Jianyu is also honored.

"There are now four capitals in the Ming Dynasty, and I plan to set up Tokyo in the Wa Kingdom, which is the fifth capital of the Ming Dynasty and set up Dongzhili."

Xijing was built in the Fergana Basin.

For example, the name Ferghana was opposed by the courtiers, and it was better to call it Dawan Province, or Xikang Province.

But the old emperor thought that Ferghana's name was good.

The meaning of the name is that it is a valley surrounded by mountains.

In fact, now people just look at a string of names, and feel foreign, if you translate it, you will find that it is not as good as the name of Henan.

Until now, there has been no national concept in Central Asia, because they have been conquered, and they don't even know who they are.

So, there is no problem with some ancient names on this site.

Like Myanmar and Thailand, it is not good, although Xinyi and Xinjing are not good, but this territory can be operated by Thailand and Myanmar for thousands of years, and the memory is not so easy to erase.

Lao Su tried to erase the memories of the various ethnic groups in Central Asia back then, but ultimately failed.

It took fifty years for the Ming Dynasty to erase the memories of Southeast Asians, let alone Lao Su.

"Dad, Erchen suggested changing Beijing to the central capital, setting up six capitals, and picking out an important piece of land in the Mongolian province in the north to establish Beijing."

"Now Beijing has been changed to Zhongdu, or Zhongjing, Dajing, and Dadu."

"There is Xijing in the Fergana Basin."

"The Japanese country has Tokyo."

"There is Bianjing in the land of Baiyue."

"Jiangnan and Nanjing."

"In this way, there are six capitals, and Liaojin is all five capitals, and Erchen thinks it is also suitable for use in Daming."

"After Taizong moved the capital, there were only two capitals in the Ming Dynasty, and you set up Bianjing in order to better control the land of Baiyue."

Zhu Qiyu sighed slightly: "Six Kyotos have been set up, so just set up Ten Capitals." ”

"Choose a place in Borneo to build a capital, and also set aside a place in Bangladesh to establish a Beijing division, and when the Yenisei River is completed, Lanzhou will be changed to Lanjing, and Singapore will be changed to Xinjing."

"Directly set up ten capitals, withdraw Bianzhili, West Zhili and East Zhili, and there are only two Zhili in the north and south."

Set up ten capitals, from a political point of view, convenient to manage the place; From an economic point of view, it will invest more resources in the construction of the Beijing Division, so that the population will be concentrated in the ten capitals of the world; From a military point of view, it is also convenient to set up a multi-value army.

"Dad, in that case, the provinces will be reduced."

Zhu Qiyu glanced at him: "In the past, it was two capitals and thirteen provinces, and I had to turn Zhili into a province, alas, it was just my vanity." ”

"If it is my father's vanity, he will simply upgrade the provinces to provinces, and there will be hundreds of provinces in the country." Zhu Jianyu teased him.

Zhu Qiyu laughed: "What do you think of the Ten Beijing system?" ”

"Erchen thinks it's better."

Then it becomes ten capitals and fifty-seven provinces.

"Xinjing does not need to change the name of the place, such as Lanzhou, it is called Lanjing, and Singapore is promoted to Xinjing, so it is okay."

The ten capitals are: Zhongjing, Beijing, Nanjing, Tokyo, Xijing, Bianjing, Lanjing, Xinjing, Mengjing, and Wujing (Borneo).

The new territory of the Ming Dynasty was also demarcated.

Ten capitals and fifty-seven provinces, including two direct subordinates in the north and south, and the other eight capitals do not have direct subordinates.

In fact, the two provinces of Yenisei and Lena to the north of the Tangnu-Uliang Sea are huge in area, and because they have no practical significance, they have not been divided.

But you can't even live in people, what's the use of splitting it up?

"Dad, the money for the construction of the Jingshi is out of the house? Or do you call on wealthy businessmen to raise funds? ”

Zhu Qiyu estimated: "It won't cost a lot of money to go out by yourself, let's get the infrastructure out, and the rest can attract investment." ”

"The son-in-law will send a decree to the cabinet."

Zhu Jianyu didn't care about this money, the old emperor's family was so rich, he had to spend it.

The old emperor didn't show him his family background.

But he knew that many things in Eastern Europe had the investment of the old emperor, and he used trains to transport gold to Beijing every year.

He is not Zhu Jianqi, he spends the money when it should be spent, and it is useless to save it.

"What about changing the flag?"

"Dad, Erchen thinks don't change it, it's been more than 50 years, everyone in the world is used to it, if you want to add 57 stars, make a new side and use it as a souvenir."

If you change to Zhu Jianqi, it is estimated that you will settle accounts with the old man, how much does it cost to change the flag, but Zhu Jianqi has no reason, just don't change it.

There was news from the Yangxin Palace that the old emperor was going to build Shijing, and the important ministers of the cabinet were clamoring and shouting, and they all felt that there was no need to spend this money.

As the train speeds up, the center controls such a large territory, and it is somewhat like a fish in water, and it does not feel that any province will be independent.

The Ming Dynasty is not a federal system.

In fact, in the fifty-fifth year of Jingtai, some courtiers proposed a federal system, because Germany is a federal country formed by many titles, fiefs, free territories, etc.

Europe is basically like this, it can be said that Europe has not entered the feudal emperor system, or the feudal system.

So to form a federation.

Because there is no common monarch.

If you look at the Roman history books, Europe has also been unified, but the authenticity of this history book is difficult to verify, and this is a matter of hundreds of years AD, when China has entered the Song Dynasty from the Qin Dynasty.

Let's just say that the Shang Dynasty is also a unified country, but this great unification and Qin Shi Huang's great unification are two different concepts.

Qin Shi Huang's unification laid the foundation for the Chinese territory.

The great unification of the Shang Dynasty was only the unification of a region.

Rome is estimated to be like this, infinitely beautified by later generations, and constantly boasting about Roman civilization, which is actually similar to the Shang Dynasty in China.

Will the current Chinese people talk about the history of the Shang Dynasty?

No, it won't!

But the Europeans will!

They think that Rome is so bullish and powerful, in fact, it is just a scum, don't compare the Han, Jin, Tang and Song dynasties of the same period, just compare the Shang Dynasty.

But Rome certainly existed, and it must have been brilliant, but this degree of glory is too big to boast about.

The so-called federalism is not an advanced system, but a legacy of history.

Yu Xia Shang Zhou is a sub-seal system.

The federation is a feudal system, it's just a different set of rhetoric, the essence hasn't changed, it's nothing more than that there is no war in the end, and peaceful reunification.

This unification and the unification of China are two different concepts.

The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period were combined and called the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

Was the Eastern Zhou a unified state? It can also be understood as yes, because there is a common monarch, Zhou Tianzi, this is unity.

Isn't this the Federation?

If the Warring States Period entered the Great Voyage, then the concept of Chinese unification disappeared, and East Asia was also a bunch of small countries, and in the end, because of the rapid colonial plunder, these countries came up with a federal system, on the surface Zhou Tianzi had the final say, but in fact, the provinces and countries themselves had the final say.

This is just soft unification, at most, the diplomatic power of the provinces will be returned to the center, and even the military power will not be completely collected, in fact, it is still its own small kingdom.

The unification of China is the true unification, the traditional territory of China, no less than a point, and in the heyday, it was slowly expanded, a little bit sinicized, and thoroughly digested.

This is the real unity, the hard unity.

How can such an advanced system turn back the wheel of history?

From the great unification to the sub-feudal system?

Isn't that sick?

Autonomy is the need for federation and soft unity.

Every province of the Ming Dynasty has been shot down with a knife and a gun, and it is all Chinese in the traditional sense, and this Chinese concept is deep-rooted and implanted in the genes of every Chinese person.

Look at the sinicized Mongolia, are they clamoring for reunification day by day?

Therefore, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to follow the federal system.

Unless one day, aliens come to the world and need to unite into a whole, and the Ming Federation will appear, which is formed by the joint formation of various feudal states.

The Cabinet also felt that it was not necessary to establish a multi-capital system.

The Ministry of Finance has already made a preliminary budget, adding six capitals in addition to the original four capitals, with an estimated investment of more than 4 billion yuan.

Even if the money is from within, it is too wasteful.

It's better to invest in industry.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang figured out a way, it was better to build a big city first, wait for the foundation of the city to be laid, and then change it to a Beijing division.

Don't invest directly, it's too wasteful of resources.

In fact, the places demarcated by the old emperor were either strategic places or cities with very good economic development.

The latter only needs to change his name to be promoted to Jingshi.

In this era, the Jingshi has tended to the concept of a municipality directly under the central government.

Municipalities are taxed above.

Mainly cities with very good economic conditions will be upgraded to municipalities directly under the central government, cities under the direct jurisdiction of the center.

Jingshi, in fact, is the same truth.

If there is no direct subordination, it must also be directly managed by the center, and the fiscal revenue will be directly collected by the center, and the local provinces will definitely not be willing.

This will have a siphon effect, directly sucking away all the manpower and material resources, resulting in a province working for the city.

Zhu Jianyu means that being promoted to the capital division and not building a palace is a strategic layout.

Once the Ming Dynasty marched westward, Lanjing and Xijing could hoard a large amount of materials, because they were directly under the central government, and there was no mess.

The second is strategic attention.

In all cities in the country, the degree of attention is completely different.

Like the Northeast, it is a grain production base, there is no need to build any Beijing division, a few big cities are enough.

Why did the Wa State build a Beijing division, because it was too far away from the Ming Dynasty, and it was necessary to establish a Beijing division and send officials to manage it.

Borneo is not close to the Ming Dynasty, so it needs a Wujing, and the land of Baiyue directly set up three Beijing divisions, Bianjing, Xinjing, and Mengjing, indicating that the imperial court attaches great importance to it.

After much discussion.

Zhu Jianyu and the courtiers each took a step back, temporarily built Tokyo and Wujing first, and the other cities remained as they were for the time being, with an initial investment of 200 million, all of which were borne by the internal funds.

Tokyo is the Edo of the Wa Kingdom, and it was expanded on the basis of Edo.

Wujing is a place in the center of Borneo, the city, which is mainly strategically arranged, in order to control the whole of Borneo will not be separated from the Ming Dynasty.

In the new Shijing, the Daming Association will set up resident officials and directors in the region.

This is the political purpose of setting up the Jingshi.
