Mandarin Palace.

The spring breeze after the beginning of the year, finally reduced a trace of chill, and the coal blocks in the kang road let the ground reveal continuous heat.

"Canonize the eldest son of the Northern King of Goryeo as the Northern King of Goryeo."

"Send envoys to make announcements, and go south separately to meet with the king of Goryeo and the king of the south of Goryeo, so as to ensure a stable transition and smooth border between the northern kings of Goryeo."

Minister of Rites Lu Zhen recounted.

Regarding the Goryeo matter, the Ministry of Rites made the above decision after communication, and then consulted with the cabinet ministers, who combined the opinions of other departments and finally submitted it today.

This kind of process of handling internal and external political affairs has become the main way, unless Zhu Gaochi specifically specifies the problem.

Zhu Gaochi was a little distracted.

Lu Zhen seems to be in his forties this year, how old is he?

In the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he has stayed for almost ten years.

"Quasi-play."

There was silence in the Wenhua Hall for a moment, and Zhu Gaochi said briefly, as long as there are no problems in the country, the problems in Goryeo are not big, and the most reassuring thing is the King of Goryeo South.

These political strongmen are all factors of instability.

Including Shochu in the Ryukyu region.

But it's not okay to simply kill it, the rules are formulated by the Ming Dynasty, which is generally beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, and violates the rules formulated by the Ming Dynasty itself, and the biggest loss is actually the Ming Dynasty.

And if you kill Shang Zhong, maybe there will be Liu Zhong and Wang Zhong, so solving the problem is the right way.

An envoy from the shogunate asked for tribute.

Zhu Gaochi also agreed after thinking about it.

One thing after another, with the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty, external and frontier matters have accounted for three or four percent of the court, and the original affairs have more than doubled.

After the end of the meeting, Zhu Gaochi came out tired to breathe.

Li Xian was notified by the clerical room, and was brought to the royal stairs by the clerical staff, and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone on the platform, and there were guards standing guard not far away.

The guards carried short guns around their waists.

Each shortball has a number, and the upper and lower values are handed in, including buckshot, and are strictly counted.

The guards guarding the imperial city came from the Beijing camp.

The Beijing camp comes from the elite of the national army.

The annual army competitions, etc., those who are among the best, as well as the army, which rotates the Beijing battalion on a team basis, and some meritorious services, the 3,000 battalions formed are specially responsible for the safety of the imperial city.

Behind each guard is a family.

Even if he is from an ordinary military family, there is a big family behind him.

Descend to the Lordship.

Inheritance tax is up to 50%.

The political and economic inheritance system has taken shape in the Yongle Dynasty, although it has encountered some storms, but the storms are not big, because the rule of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren has made the Ming regime too stable and no one can open it.

In addition to the military department, there are also some lords and generals in the army, who are responsible for the military power of the Beijing camp, forming a tripartite coercion against each other.

His Royal Highness the Prince's two younger brothers.

One is responsible for inspecting the local army, and the other is responsible for part of the rights of Jinyiwei and supervising the civil and military forces, but they do not obtain military power and administrative power, avoiding hidden dangers, Li Xian couldn't help but sigh.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of him unconsciously solved a lot of things.

Such a Ming system, as long as there are no accidents, I really don't know what the situation will be like a hundred years later, Li Xian is a little reluctant, not afraid of death, but wants to see it.

Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered Beijing, he began to promote the development of industrialization throughout the country, starting with the allocation of social resources, strengthening the control of the private sector, so as to create market demand, drive economic development, and implement a package of stimulus plans such as large infrastructure and large railways.

The reform of Beiping began in the 25th year of Hongwu, and in the 36th year of Hongwu, another seven years passed.

Whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered Beijing in the 29th year of Hongwu or in the 30th year of Hongwu, Li Xian couldn't remember it anymore.

But the changes in Daming are obvious to all.

The result is greater than everything.

With rapid economic development, technological innovation, and ever-changing social changes, Li Xian is eager to see what the future holds.

It can be said that Li Xianam, who has traveled all over Asia, has surpassed the vast majority of ordinary people in terms of knowledge.

There is no country in the world like Daming.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the building in the distance.

According to the decree of the capital, no high-rise buildings can be built around the imperial city, so the new city is in the suburbs, and the surrounding area of the imperial city remains the original appearance.

In the year of double happiness for the generations to come.

The school arranges to go to coastal cities for internship, parentheses: enter the factory to make screws.

However, Zhu Gaochi's uncle is the factory director.

Ten years ago, my aunt was rescued by the township hospital because she was poor and made her desperate to drink pesticides, and it only took ten years for my uncle's family to live a life that they couldn't think of before.

There is only one day of vacation every month, working more than ten hours a day, and the two of them have a good life with an income of thousands a month.

Even now.

Zhu Gaochi still remembers.

During that holiday, his uncle took him to a restaurant to improve the food in the canteen where he was about to vomit, and then his uncle said with emotion in a factory, "Ten years ago, this was still a wasteland, and there were planes that fell. ”

My uncle said he had seen it.

At that time, Zhu Gaochi did not feel it.

It wasn't until many years later that I unexpectedly saw a few old photos, and it was indeed a wasteland, a desolate area completely different from the neat roads and cement buildings in my impression.

At that time, the eldest uncle, in the deepest year of his memory, bought a small piece of meat for the whole family to celebrate the New Year, and had become a small foreman, who would take the family to sing and celebrate the New Year in the hotel.

In Zhu Gaochi's eyes, these changes are only ten years.

Ten years before Zhu Gaochi.

I heard that people are even more poor, and they queue up outside the gate of each factory to beg to enter the factory, even if they don't pay their wages, just give them food.

Even later, whenever Zhu Gaochi recalled his youth, it was like two worlds, which was really amazing and surprising.

An economically backward region competes with an economically developed region on the same platform.

Then the economically developed regions will crush the economically backward regions.

This is an eternal truth.

In later generations, there were only 18 so-called developed countries in the strict sense, and 43 in a broad sense, Zhu Gaochi did not think that they could be regarded as developed countries, but were just propaganda from old countries.

If it is calculated only on a per capita basis, then Saudi Arabia should also be a developed country, but Saudi Arabia is not a developed country.

Per capita is a large area.

What does it prove?

Or those old countries.

This is the truth of the world.

When we see the truth of the world clearly, we can understand how difficult and rare the development achievements of later generations are, and they are also impossible for most developing countries in the world to achieve.

If you really follow the rules set by the old countries, there will be absolutely no achievements in later generations.

The world's second largest economy, the world's second largest consumer market, the world's largest trading country, the world's largest steel producer, the world's largest total grain producer, the world's second largest country attracting foreign investment, and the world's fastest growing economy and the most complete industrial system.

In the process of great economic success in later generations, why should those countries rush to cooperate with future generations, and they are really white rabbits?

Because of the interests.

Whoever gives up cooperation and cannot obtain its own economic development needs from it will fall behind the pace of development of the world.

Therefore, the United States absolutely does not dare to decouple itself, so it must rely on force to force other countries to act together, otherwise the United States will shoot itself in the foot and properly bully.

There is no justice in the world.

It is oneself who can be bullied, and it is necessary to reflect on the bully, which is what some people think.

Daming does not have these difficulties.

The development of industrialization in the Ming Dynasty is actually a simple model, and the later generations are a difficult model.

Zhu Gaochi thought about two questions.

One is how to implement the construction of material civilization while ensuring the construction of spiritual civilization, according to the information collected, excessive "civilization" has appeared in many places, such as Beiping.

There is also how to ensure unchanging development.

The Ming Dynasty at the same time in history was also powerful and expanded, and the suzerain-vassal system expanded steadily in Southeast Asia, but a god of war emperor led to all-round bankruptcy.

Therefore, the biggest problem of Daming is always an internal problem.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Li Xian has arrived."

The eunuch's voice interrupted Zhu Gaochi's train of thought.

"You're here."

Coming back to his senses, Zhu Gaochi smiled.

Li Xian hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

In fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be regarded as his benefactor.

Li Xian thinks so.

The promotion of their status and treatment as officials on mission is inseparable from the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"No courtesy."

Zhu Gaochi raised his hand.

"The Ryukyu matter is settled?"

Li Xian heard His Royal Highness the Prince's inquiry, and gave a brief overview of everything, including the local school, and all aspects.

Zhu Gaochi listened very carefully.

Especially when it comes to schools.

Zhu Gaochi never cared about absorbing the population of other regions, because his own advantage was here, and he could assimilate and absorb each other by relying on a strong civilization and a crushing population.

So Zhu Gaochi inherited Zhu Yuanzhang's approach.

As long as all ministries recognize the banner of the Ming Dynasty and abide by the rules of the Ming Dynasty, everyone will live together in harmony, because of the competition of hard work and struggle, the Ming people are not afraid, and they are not worried about lagging behind others in the development of productive forces.

Later generations also upheld this idea.

Shelving disputes and developing together.

Because of what?

Because of self-confidence.

On the other hand, the United States can't, it must exploit external interests, make countries pay for its over-issuance, and if it doesn't accept it, it won't work, and the military bases all over the world are just to make countries pay for him all the time.

"The Three Kingdoms of the Ryukyus have always been obedient to the Ming Dynasty, but there has never been a shortage of ambitious people in history, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or other regions, the local Chinese have ambitions, and Shangzhong also has ambitions."

"But this ambition cannot be based on force."

"Since you choose force, Da Ming will also choose force."

Zhu Gaochi pondered.

In the future, the world did not start a war for decades, and it was the wish of the whole country to get rich through hard work, so the economic situation was like a bamboo, but the United States was unwilling to do so, and relied on force to turn the table.

Including Chinese.

Southeast Asia is full of Chinese ethnic groups, and it was during the Ming Dynasty that it was greatly developed.

The Chinese became a wealthy group in various regions and controlled a certain amount of force, and even the footsteps of Western colonizers arrived in Southeast Asia, leading to hundreds of years of suppression and massacre of local Chinese.

These are the intangible losses of Chinese civilization.

For example, the massacres of local Chinese in Luzon several times, and even the massacres in modern times, were arranged and guided by Westerners.

Even so.

The achievements of the Chinese ancestors have not been completely lost.

The legacy left to future generations has gone through hundreds of years of devastation, and there is still a part of it, which can be imagined how great and brilliant it is.

"However, for people like Shang Zhong, Daming can't be too targeted, otherwise it will cause some people to resist and lead to deeper confrontation, which is an act that outweighs the losses."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

Keeping Shang Zhong's original power, he first eliminated the contradiction between life and death, and avoided the most fierce struggle.

Li Xian's face was full of recognition.

The reason why Shang Zhong gave up resistance and accepted Daming's arrangement was also partly due to this, otherwise Shang Zhong would break the jar and break it, which would indeed make Daming pay more energy.

"So for the southern king of Goryeo, the court also has this way of thinking, fighting but not breaking, and the biggest thing is to keep the original appearance."

"Prince Shengming."

Li Xian slapped a sycophant.

However, in Li Xian's eyes, there are about six points of true affection.

Zhu Gaochi also asked about the customs and humanities of some countries.

Li Xian picked up some more peculiar stories, which gave Zhu Gaochi a better understanding of the situation abroad.

"In the next three years, the Ming Dynasty will not launch large-scale wars, and if it is not necessary, small-scale wars will be stopped." Zhu Gaochi continued: "Although the country is big, the warlike will perish, and the truth of the ancestors is not wrong. ”

"The purpose of the war is to solve the troubles, but the current troubles of the Ming Dynasty are not outside, development is still the primary task, but under development, it has brought many problems."

Zhu Gaochi not only told Li Xian, but also told the cabinet.

There are pros and cons to eternity.

The future needs to catch up, too fast development speed, hiding a lot of shortcomings, but Daming can do precipitation, because Daming has no qualified competitors at present.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi plans to let Daming settle down in the next few years.

In a nutshell.

Extend the time for the construction of the Great Wall and reduce the burden on the people.

Soon after.

The Cabinet held many meetings.

Since the year after the death of Empress Daming, the pace of Daming has slowed down a little, various resources have been put into the country, and the external supply has been reduced by more than half.

For example, schools across the country.

Study tours have become the norm, and the mileage of students traveling is getting farther and farther, not only staying in the surrounding areas, but also allocated funds by the Imperial Court.

——

Peiping.

Secondary school for workers' children.

The seventh sister wore a face towel on her face, lowered her head and didn't dare to be recognized, came to the school's public room and met the principal.

"Let him go home."

The principal said regretfully.

The hero's son, too naughty.

The seventh sister's face was full of despair.

The fifteen-year-old boy lowered his head and said nothing, not daring to look at his mother's eyes.

"The school considered his identity and decided to give him the preferential treatment of exemption from the examination, so that he could obtain the qualification of secondary school graduation without taking the high school entrance examination." The principal said thoughtfully.

With a secondary school graduation qualification, coupled with its status, it is not difficult to find a good job.

The seventh sister nodded numbly.

After leading her son home, the seventh sister lay on the bed and did not get out of bed for three days.

The boy knelt in front of the bed.

"Mother, my son is wrong."

"Ugh."

The seventh sister sighed.

"You still have to study, not for your father, for yourself, now is the age to study, although my mother can find another way out for you, maybe you will regret it later."

The seventh sister gritted her teeth and got up and cheered up.

It didn't take long.

Faced with the request of the seventh sister, the principal looked embarrassed.

Skipping school and fighting all year round, this time I broke the arms of other students, and the school was also very difficult.

The seventh sister took the child to kowtow to another house.

not only sent a large amount of compensation, but also made his son kneel on the street, attracting the attention of the newspaper. (End of chapter)
