Capital.

Bamboo ball platform.

There were no vacant seats for tens of thousands of people in the stands, people shouted excitedly, trees were planted in the wide square outside the high platform, and the vendors were in fixed temporary booths, and there were few people left in the square.

Before the event, the vendors were busy and sweaty, and finally had time to take a breath.

But the faces of the vendors, while wiping sweat, showed regret in their eyes, they can still do it, they are not afraid of hard work, the heat just now, keep coming, the money jar is full of food stamps, it is the greatest comfort for them.

Zhu Gaochi and the civil and military officials gathered in a row of boxes arranged by the Department of Culture and Industry under the Ministry of Rites.

In the glass window of the box, a telescope is propped up on a stand.

Zhu Zhanji and his younger siblings sat on the leather chair on the back mattress in a regular manner, but with excited eyes, it could be seen that they were all excited, but the strict constraints in the past made them not release their nature.

Offstage is the grand final.

Two teams from Beijing and Beiping competed for the first prize.

"For example, among 10,000 people who participate in bamboo ball activities, there is a bamboo ball genius, and the probability is 1 in 10,000, then among 100,000 people, there may be ten geniuses who participate in bamboo ball sports."

Zhu Gaochi was invited to watch the finals, and after consideration, he asked the clerical office to inform the organizers that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed to participate in this event.

So.

This event is destined to be extraordinary.

Not only the figures with heads and faces came to participate, but also the important ministers in the court also came.

Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally named him, Xia Yuanji, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, became one of the lists in the box where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was located.

This kind of officials who are good at controlling water will be recorded in historical materials.

Zhu Gaochi values Xia Yuanji very much.

Because in the land of the East, officials like Xia Yuanji are inseparable.

The four ancient civilizations all have a history of water control, but the water of Egypt, Babylon, and the Indus River is seasonal, and there is a desert dozens of miles away, so it will not make the people in the flood despair.

As soon as the Yellow River and the Yangtze River are not mentioned in China, then the people will be covered with water for hundreds of miles, and there will be no way to escape, which is a devastating disaster.

So why is Chinese civilization even better?

Because the ancestors have come out from generation to generation to control talents.

It is precisely because of this generation of ancestors that countless ditches and dikes were built to control the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, relying on the fertile land on the banks of the river, which provided a boost for the development of agricultural technology.

In terms of population explosion, coupled with the development of other aspects, the number of non-agricultural population in ancient China was large, and the base of more non-agricultural population gave birth to more scholars and craftsmen, which promoted the development of civilization.

Therefore, the northern left and right wing Tatars in the history of the Ming Dynasty, because of the long-term blockade of the Ming Dynasty, fell into extreme material poverty, so poor that even the old slaves were despised with emotion, and the Tatar horses were too thin.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, no matter who rose to power, their desires became lower and lower, and even the prosperous Alda Khan pursued nothing more than trade with the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, the long-term prosperity of Chinese civilization is not due to the fact that the land itself is fertile.

There are many such lands in the world.

It is the ancestors of China, relying on the inheritance and struggle from generation to generation, and the wisdom and wisdom that they have brought depressions, swamps, jungles, and miasma lands. It became a rich acre.

In this long process, water control is the core.

Natsuhara Yoshishi was respectful.

No one can remain arrogant in front of this prince, and the Ming Dynasty under the guidance of the prince and the industrialized society proposed by the prince have made qualitative changes in Chinese civilization.

As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said.

The power is from the machine instead of the rest of the force.

This is an unprecedented thing, in this change, the productivity of the Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, everyone has seen it, and everyone knows the correctness of His Royal Highness the Prince.

"The development of a civilization is bound to be a change in all aspects, and the high level of science and technology in the Great Song Dynasty is also because after the Champa rice was improved by the Song people, it has achieved great success, which not only laid the foundation for the Great Song Dynasty to provide more non-agricultural population, but also laid the agricultural outlook of my Ming Dynasty."

"Based on this, on the basis of ensuring agriculture, more people can be freed from the land and promote economic development, not only the economic prosperity and the increase of productivity, but also the birth of more scholars, and then the invention of more technologies."

"But so."

"Agriculture is the foundation, and agriculture is inseparable from water."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

"That's what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said."

Xia Yuanji said honestly, like a junior.

The thirty-six-year-old Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the prime of life, and the forty-nine-year-old Xia Yuanji regards himself as a junior, like a sycophant.

The literati have arrogance.

Because of the social status of the literati.

But patting His Royal Highness the Prince's ass, no one thinks it's a villain's act, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really very human.

The room was huge.

The clerks in the hall, among whom Jiang Binzhi stayed behind the desk in the corner, recorded the conversations between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the officials, which will not only be left to future generations, but also the work of the clerical room.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a lot of opportunities every day, and he meets many people every year, and there are many things to do, and he needs to be reminded by the clerical office.

Jiang Binzhi is like a fly.

Excited inside.

His Royal Highness the Prince's thinking is often imaginative, providing people with other perspectives to look at the development of things, and in the past few months, Jiang Binzhi has learned a lot of knowledge, no less than that of the Guozijian.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put forward the idea of not forcing it, and the minister has already understood, and he will formulate a national water conservancy management plan in accordance with His Royal Highness the Prince's thoughts." Xia Yuanji said.

Zhu Gaochi nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, the area of Daming is not large, relative to the population.

There is only so much land suitable for farming.

In order to meet the needs of the population, not only did they farm in the mountains, but the ancestors also planted food in the most ferocious areas of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, and struggled with nature with their lives, because there was no way.

And what about the New World of the Hereafter.

The ancient Mayans were spread over a wide area, and like most of Central America, the rainy season in this region was well defined.

From May to October, there is a lot of rainfall, while the rest of the time, there is very little rainfall.

This distinct distinction has led to complex water control projects in areas adjacent to Lake Mexico and further south in the highlands, including the Maya-inhabited regions of Guatemala and Honduras.

But in the vast area inhabited by the Maya, the characteristics of the geology decisively influenced the cause of water control.

Almost the entire low-level plain of Yucatan and a large part of the area between this plain and the plateau are highly permeable limestone layers, so that the rain quickly sinks to the depths.

Although there are no "deserts" in the Americas, the damage of flooding can still be minimized through these highly permeable soil floors.

Therefore, if we look at the major ancient civilizations, only the water control project of the Chinese civilization is amazing and incredible.

Including the United States of later generations.

Even in the era of the big bang of science and technology, relying on the abundance of population and land area, they do not seek maximum flood control, and the people can live in better land.

In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, Zhu Gaochi put forward such an idea.

However, at that time, the status was different, and the biggest crisis was also different, so Zhu Gaochi did not invest energy in this area, but implemented the politics of the first army to ensure his own victory.

Until now.

The idea of water control has been put back on the agenda.

It is necessary to relocate people not only in the mountains, but also in the floodplains, even if the land exposed after the flood waters recedes is fertile.

As for the mountainous areas and floodplains after the migration of the population, will there be hidden dangers in a few decades because of the retreat of the Han people's footsteps.

Zhu Gaochi was not worried.

The rise of Houjin is inseparable from the edification of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the Houjin bordering Liaodong, which relied on the friendship between the ancestors and Zhu Di to facilitate tributary trade with the Ming Dynasty, the capitalists in a certain place in the north in the middle and late Ming Dynasty also continued to deliver materials to the Houjin.

Therefore, the rise of the Later Jin Dynasty and the surpassing of the surrounding tribes was actually based on the productivity of the Ming Dynasty.

Just as the rise of the Great Liao was inseparable from the Yanran Protectorate or Anbei Protectorate established by the Tang Dynasty in the north, leaving behind a complete set of various systems such as education, taxation, conscription, aid, protection, cultural dissemination, education and training, and commercial exchanges, which promoted local productivity and organization, and changed the local primitive social outlook.

And in the Qing Dynasty, these capitalists were also sucking blood.

The Taiji people in the whole Mongolia, and even the princes, lamented that they had paid off the debts of those merchants for generations, and the arrears were owed for hundreds of years.

So when productivity leaves these places, these places change nature again.

Moreover, Zhu Gaochi's relocation of the population outside the land load is not to give up local governance.

In a nutshell.

A landform like 100,000 mountains can feed tens of thousands of people, instead of dozens of people staying in the mountains and sorting out the flowers of the mountains, and as a result, they can only get food to feed themselves.

Or the estuary along the river in Fangshan in the northern parallel province.

The only small plain in the local mountainous area, because of the geographical advantage, floods all year round, causing heavy casualties to the local people.

Then the imperial court should not keep repairing water conservancy projects here, and relocate the surplus local people to settle in new fertile land, which not only allows the common people to have a more stable life, but also reduces the burden on the imperial court.

Officials from the household department are also there.

This is a joint multisectoral initiative.

Also for the migration of population, the seven western provinces, Liaodong region, Dayuan Island, Nanyang region, overseas Xindi, the development of these places, everything is lacking, and the most lacking is the people in the interior of the Ming Dynasty.

The average person's active performance is low.

People who can take the initiative to change themselves are no longer ordinary people, because there are many people who change their minds, but very few can take action, so most of the ordinary people, until the point of last resort, they will not take the initiative to change themselves, which requires the guidance of the imperial court.

In addition to cultural reasons, it is also human nature.

Just as Portugal began the Great Voyage.

It's not that the people are poor and can't live anymore, who would want to step into the ocean of death and life.

At that time, Portugal's navigation technology was far behind that of China.

I don't know how many sailors died on the sea.

The bamboo team from Beiping won the victory, which made the people of Beijing scold, and the earliest old industrial base in Beiping, not only there are many workers in Beiping, but also many spectators who came from Beiping by train.

Therefore, even if there are more people in the capital, the people of Beiping are not to be outdone.

There are always radical people.

Under the strict defense of a large number of inspectors, there was no physical conflict, so the two sides only sent "cordial" greetings to each other's ancestors.

When you receive your prize.

The figure of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appeared, and the scene quickly fell silent.

Subsequently.

Cheers resounded through the heavens and the earth.

There is a bus stop platform on the square.

The Department of Culture and Sports arranged a large number of staff, and seconded thousands of students from the Fuxue and Guozijian to maintain order, and one by one the buses left the square, and the vendors in the square were busy again.

Life in Peking is better.

Not only do people eat three meals a day, but many workers also meet for a late-night drink after work.

Now.

With the smooth passage of the railway and the popularization of steam locomotives, a large number of Beiping workers came to the capital, and they came to the political center of the Ming Dynasty for the first time, compared with their own Beiping.

The population of Peking is not as good as that of the capital.

The population of Beiping Province has only exceeded 2 million, while the population of Beijing has 1 million.

But the number of workers in Pei Binh is no less than in Beijing.

In the north of Beiping, there are the broad provinces of Daning and Kai, which provide living materials and livestock for Beiping, and Liaodong in the east, which is the industrial "steam engine" of Beiping, providing a large number of cheap materials for Beiping.

Heavy industry is at the heart of Beiping.

But so.

The capital is not weak either, in addition to Yingtianfu, there is also the province of Zhejiang, which is full of economic vitality and all kinds of goods gushing out, plus a developed population, as well as the docks of Shanghai County.

Not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of potential, it also surpasses Beiping.

The special event held by the Department of Culture and Industry, last year's Keju finals were arranged in Beiping, and this year's bamboo ball finals were arranged in Beijing, and the workers in the north and south had a high degree of interaction.

What is illustrated.

The workers in the two places not only maintain their daily lives, but also have the economic level to travel long distances.

in traditional societies.

The circulation, which was only possessed by the gentry class, had begun to spread to the lower classes.

"Poof."

at the bazaar.

A fire-breathing performer sparked applause from the audience.

Burn red soldering iron.

The performer slides off the soldering iron with his heels.

"Sss

The people couldn't help but exclaim, and some of the little girls covered their eyes in fear.

The performer proudly showed the soldering iron to the audience.

When a piece of paper is thrown onto the soldering iron, the paper quickly burns, proving that the soldering iron is real.

Countless magical performances.

There is also sand that burns by itself, and fires that cannot be extinguished with sand and water after they are burned.

Of course, there is no shortage of traditional acrobatics such as breaking large stones.

The chieftains of the feudal kingdom walked around the streets of the capital with great interest.

After the king of the mud country died of illness in the capital, and his prince returned to the country to inherit the throne with the help of the Ming Dynasty, he returned to the capital of the Ming Dynasty two years later, and requested to attach it, the three kings of the Sulu country, the king of the east, the king of the west, and the king of the three with the harem, almost the whole family dispatched, bringing a huge team of nearly 400 tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, history came to Daming in 1417, but now it is five years ahead of schedule.

These people are no different.

The prosperity and richness of the capital of Daming, as well as the high degree of civilization, shocked these people incomparably, and they also had to rely on not leaving, and they had no intention of returning to the country, and they played in Daming for half a year.

The mission was about to return home, and the king of the east, Batu Ge Horn, was reluctant to go back.

Walked to Dezhou, Shandong, and died of a sudden illness.

Like the old king of the muddy country, the will left by the king of the east is to be buried in the Ming Dynasty, and more than a dozen of his concubines and princes still have to stay, the Ming officials thought about it and agreed to keep the tomb for three years, but in history, these princes and concubines were unwilling to go back after the tomb was finished.

Da Ming was not reluctant.

In history, it was Zhu Di who ordered him to be buried in the north of Dezhou City, saying: Gongding.

Money is needed to live in the capital.

In order to maintain a decent life in the capital, the new king of the muddy country used the muddy country as a bargaining chip, and attached the Ming Dynasty, although he was no longer a vassal king, he could obtain the throne of the Ming Dynasty and enjoy the prince's fortune.

With a precedent, the prince of the East King also proposed to attach it.

So Daming has another overseas enclave.

Previously, because of the Ming Dynasty's Western Expedition and internal production and development reasons, there was no effort to manage overseas enclaves, and now it is also in the Western Expedition, but the consumption of the two Western Expeditions is not the same, and the economic development of the Ming Dynasty has reached a higher level.

How to govern the two enclaves, as well as solve the local discontent forces, maintain peaceful development to the greatest extent, and achieve the best results, Zhu Gaochi asked the cabinet and various ministries to come up with a charter.

Meanwhile.

The first batch of resettlement projects jointly organized by the Daming Industry Bureau and the Ministry of Workers' and People's Union, with 100,000 people and more than 20,000 new and old military households, embarked on the journey to Samarkand.

In the early morning of the evening of December 5th, I asked book friends to subscribe more, thank you for your support.
