Chapter 70 The Market Needed for the Industrial Revolution
In a place where 100 households are located, between Beiping and Tongxian, this place is mainly planted with wheat.
In the surrounding area of Beiping, half of the acres of land are planted with wheat, and the rest of the fields are made of millet and rice sorghum.
Zhu Gaochi and Tang Yun stood side by side, followed by Tang Yun's entourage, his own entourage, as well as Zhu Neng, Li Biao, the hundred household officials and the chief flag officer here.
The fields were full of green, but they were weeds and weeds that the people hated, and they used hoes to remove the weeds piece by piece.
Some military households use oxen to plough the ground, so that the soil becomes loose and breathable, and some even can't wait for the oxen to plough, so their father and son go into battle and rely on manpower to plough the land.
"It's hard work." Zhu Gaochi sighed.
"The little prince can have mercy on the people, which is really a blessing for the people of Beiping." Tang Yun's face was full of deservedness.
Regarding Tang Yun's statement, everyone present was deeply convinced.
Zhu Gaochi did not refute either.
The rulers of the Ming Dynasty are backward in the 21st century, but in the era of the Heavenly and Heavenly Monarchs, there is still at least a layer of spiritual shackles on their heads.
With the restraint of spiritual morality and the supervision of social customs, compared with the rulers of the surrounding areas and the rulers of the West of the same era, it can really be regarded as a person.
If the king of the Ming Dynasty went to the people's house to sleep with the daughters of other people's houses, whether the farmers wanted to or not, they would be subconsciously disgusted by the social atmosphere and cause the impeachment of the civil officials.
In the West, scholars have touted this kind of behavior, and even packaged it, and it has become a fairy tale that has spread around the world, portraying commoners as aristocrats on poles and aristocrats, and whitewashing the image of Western aristocrats.
In short, in the fourteenth and fourteenth century, a ruler who loved the people was indeed lucky for the people.
"The Tang Dynasty's poems of compassion for farmers, the prosperity of the former Yuan and Han people, and the suffering of the people. Death, the people suffer, it can be said that the hardships of the people have been exhausted. Zhu Gaochi's face was particularly sad.
In a stable society, a moral noble child should be happy from the bottom of his heart.
Really.
Hearing the sigh of the young eldest son, Tang Yun, Zhu Neng, Li Biao, etc., and even Zhang Quan around him, all smiled.
"The hardships of farming are unsolvable, it can be said that there is a harvest of hard work, and if you are lazy today, you will gain less than you will harvest one point in the future."
Tang Yun felt that it was the hypocrisy of the scholars, and he should not let the eldest son's personality be too soft, although it was a good thing for him, but since he called himself a lifelong uncle, he taught him uncompromisingly: "And the sharpness of my dynasty's army has far exceeded that of previous dynasties." ”
Also talking about the matter of the guard, Tang Yun has a higher angle than Zhu Neng, the Ming Dynasty guardhouse is the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is related to the foundation of the country, Zhu Gaochi listened carefully, and it is a valuable experience.
"Is it because under the military tun law of our dynasty, the number of soldiers provided by the military households is the largest?" Compared with Tang Yun's pride in the guard, Zhu Gaochi did not have this person's inner mood.
"It's more than that." Tang Yun shook his head and explained: "Since ancient times, the fields of the camp, whether they use soldiers or people, are all in addition to the army, and each has its own division of troops. Only the system of our dynasty is in the idle land where the guard is located, and the army is divided into tunbao, and ploughed and defended. ”
As an ordinary person, even if it is his own son, Tang Yun does not have such a good temper, but now he is full of interest.
It is an extreme honor to be able to teach the future King Yan well.
Although the little prince is only fourteen years old, and the title of the prince has not even been decided, isn't it a matter of time before these things happen.
As the eldest son in the family, he naturally inherited the family business, and in front of Zhu Gaochi, Tang Yun was very patient and spoke in detail.
"In terms of ten-percent strength, seventy percent of the army's energy is to defend the city, and thirty percent of the energy is to cultivate. But there is a military situation, and the morning and evening are also, and it is in the middle of the defense and the benefits of farming, and the sharpness of the law is only my dynasty. ”
"Not only can it most effectively quell the soldiers, but also solve the shortcomings of the Tang and Song dynasties, and avoid the collapse of the army due to the lack of tax losses, the fleeing of households, and the lack of support for the army."
After listening to Tang Yun's introduction, Zhu Gaochi had a clearer understanding, in short, in Tang Yun's eyes, the current health system is a good law.
"The trivial matters below have their own officials to govern, and the old man, as a commander, only needs to keep an eye on thousands of officials and hundreds of officials. When they do a good job, the old man praises them; If they don't do well, the old man will only ask them. ”
Tang Yun and the eldest prince have been in contact with the eldest prince for a long time, and they have a little understanding of the eldest prince.
Although he recognized the eldest son's personality, he felt that the eldest prince attached too much importance to the people and things below, so he reminded him vaguely.
This person is teaching me, and it seems that I still have a way of winning people's hearts. The corners of Zhu Gaochi's mouth curled, and he hurriedly responded.
However, Zhu Gaochi did not accept Tang Yun's words.
Although this person is right, he is different from himself, he does not know the variables of history, and naturally does not understand his own methods.
If there is no Jing Nan, Tang Yun is right.
Isn't there a martyrdom, if you don't pour out your heart and lungs to others, why should others sacrifice their lives to help you when you are the weakest and in difficulty?
Zhu Di has always done well, and he wants to do better on the basis of Zhu Di, so that more people are willing to work for Yanwangfu.
No matter with the changes of the industrial revolution, what method he can think of to eliminate the appeasement in the future, at least in the area of people's hearts, Zhu Gaochi will not relax.
Not every guard will serve in full, the Ming Dynasty has nearly two million troops, if all of them serve normally, the rest of the consumption is not counted, just the monthly ration will cost two million stones, and nearly 30 million stone military rations will be paid a year, which is definitely not a drag.
Therefore, in normal years, redundant soldiers who did not have to engage in ethics would stay in the garrison and cultivate instead of entering the camp to serve in the military.
In the case of little change in the acres of land, even at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, three generations will not be enough.
The original owner of his body was a short-lived ghost, and by his son's generation, the guard system had already existed in name only.
It's just three generations.
And this year is the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, and the health center system has actually accumulated some shortcomings, which is not as perfect as Tang Yun said.
Where in the world is there a perfect law, the years of national peace and security, only need 20 years, and the course of a generation can become anachronistic.
The only way to do it!
Only by making a fortune and building products, the productive forces are the root of civilization and progress, and if the productive forces are not solved, all ideas are empty buildings.
Promote the industrial revolution, and Daming also has the technical conditions and economic market for the first industrial revolution, which can solve all problems, at least most of them.
In the 14th century, Italy was the first stop of the Black Death in the West, killing half of the country's population.
It was only after the absence of war, the massive decline in population, and the preservation of the continuation of civilization that allowed Italy to have a Renaissance environment.
Because the people who had gone through the suffering suddenly found themselves rich, and in an environment where civilization had not been regressed, wealthy people began to give birth to various ideas.
China also has this opportunity, for example, at the time of the death of the Ming Dynasty, new learning and new ideas have been widely spread in Fujian and Zhejiang, and capitalism has begun to sprout in economic thought.
Regardless of yield, technology, tolerance, knowledge and other aspects of culture have the conditions, for example, the war has caused a rapid decline in the population of the north, but also increased the per capita acreage.
It is not terrible to change the dynasty, but it is terrible to lose the world.
It's a pity.
The West was able to plunge into the dark Middle Ages, and the East also had this experience, and the timing of the occurrence was too unfortunate.
Zhu Gaochi looked at the military households working in the fields.
There's never been a better time to do it.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, whether it was a military household or an ordinary person, most of them still had surplus grain and a little money in their hands to support the market needed for the industrial revolution.
