After the beginning of spring, Liaodong is still covered by heavy snow, and here is the world of ice and snow.

The old industrial base of Jinzhou has driven the economy of Liaodong and promoted the population recovery of Liaodong, but it has only a population of more than two million so far, but there are hundreds of thousands of castrations in Liaodong.

Quang Ninh City.

Since the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, the imperial court has dominated the control of the power of the imperial family, and the original system has been abolished, except for the eldest son of the emperor, the concubine cannot inherit the title.

The son-in-law inherits the prince, but it is not hereditary, each generation will be demoted, and the six generations will be restored to commoners, and the prince enjoys the clan and does not give land.

Many of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons have been crowned kings, and those who have been awarded the title only retain their own princes, Zhu Di only has sons-in-law, and Zhu Gaochi only has sons-in-law, the new emperor and the crown prince have insisted, and the interests of Zhu Gaochu and Zhu Gaosui have not been damaged.

Therefore, after the death of the King of Liao, the project of the Liao Wangfu, which had not been built because of the suspension of work, was also stopped, and Zhu Yunwen, who was sealed to Panyu, the King of Yue, also terminated with his death.

If Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi have little prestige in power, their status is not stable, and their army is weak, they will naturally not be able to carry out easy reforms, but unfortunately, in the face of such emperors and princes, even civil officials and capital businessmen are tied up, not to mention the clan.

Even the clan is like this, greatly reducing the number of people, not to mention the rest of the class, the nobles from a family of dozens to hundreds of slaves, gradually restored to the social environment of the Song Dynasty, and the large families are mostly three or two workers.

The extravagance has decreased, and the lords and officials can maintain their decent life, otherwise there are hundreds of people in the family, and there are stewards, grandmothers, old people, etc., no amount of money is enough for the needs of the family.

As later generations said, with wine, you need glass glasses, and glass glasses need better object matching, and the cost is getting higher and higher.

Consumption is beneficial, but what is terrible is that the civil and military behind consumption are reached out to the common people, and they belong to the wealth that is not created, but the wealth obtained by exploitation and transfer.

The development of science and technology is caused by social needs, so personal integrity and corruption are also limited by the environment.

Unconsciously.

Officials in Liaodong have become incorruptible, at least on the whole, compared to what they used to be. A clean social environment brings many benefits, one of which is efficiency, social efficiency.

On the contrary, the efficiency of social operation will slow down, that is, the development rate of productive forces will slow down, and the growth of overall social wealth will gradually stop, or even shrink and regress.

"It's cold."

Zhu Gaochi wore a mink coat and walked out of the house, looking at the people clearing the snow.

The north is certainly colder than the south, and there is absolutely no doubt about it in ancient times.

In later generations, because of science and technology, and the economic level is not enough, only the north has central heating, the south does not, and only the economically well-off families will install their own heating machines, most people are not rich, so the indoor temperature in the north is very warm, and the indoor in the south depends on a righteous atmosphere, so there is a folk controversy about whether the south is cold or the north is cold.

In fact, what is there to say, just bury your head in development, economic improvement, and there will be anything.

Liaodong, with a population of 2 million, should have been poor because of the climatic environment and scientific and technological restrictions, but at the beginning of the 15th century, it developed a different kind of development, and Zhu Gaochi's eyes looked into the distance.

Hundreds of thousands of eunuchs, with the cooperation of nearly 200,000 workers, are cutting down trees, leveling land, digging ditches, dams, roads and railways deep in the old forests.

The difference is that the workers have a relaxed working environment and perfect logistics supply, and the eunuchs also have it, but the eunuchs have no future.

"It's a terrible oppression."

Zhu Gaochi retracted his gaze, Liaodong has today's changes, it is really incredible, every inch of land, is the flower of civilization cultivated by blood, so it can become the "steam engine" of Beiping.

The Liaodong Metropolitan Division has long been changed to Liaodong Province.

Fang Wen, the political envoy of the former Hu Guangbu Political Envoy to the right, and now the political envoy of the Liaodong Political Department to the left, and the civil and military officials such as the envoy of the inspector, the political participation, and the commander of the envoy visited His Royal Highness Zhu Gaochi, and the same as Beiping, when His Royal Highness the Prince entered the city the day before yesterday, the people of Guangning were also all over the city to greet him.

Zhu Gaochi is very gentle.

Fang Wen reported to Zhu Gaochi on the recent development achievements of Liaodong, especially the increase in the number of acres, the development speed of Jinzhou Shipbuilding, and the establishment of major forest farms.

"The biggest difficulty in Liaodong at present is the shortage of railways, so after long-term consideration, the Yamen of the Political Secretary believes that the construction of a railway from Goryeo Hancheng in the east to Shanhaiguan in the north is an important means to solve the current bottleneck in Liaodong."

Hearing Fang Wen's remarks, Zhu Gaochi had a headache.

The benefits of the popularization of railways are visible to all, and more importantly, the construction of railways represents money and policy, and there are so many extraordinary things in it, and there is also a political future.

The railways built in Nanyang are mainly workers, and the railways in the seven western provinces are half captives and half workers, which has consumed a lot of energy of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Gaochi was prepared for the thoughts of the officials in Liaodong, but when he saw the urgency on everyone's faces, he felt a little nostalgic in his heart.

The use of eunuchs began to be controlled by the imperial court five years ago, and they were no longer introduced on a large scale, but the local area in Liaodong did not support it, not only did not do it according to the plan of the imperial court, but absorbed eunuchs in disguise.

The shogunate of the Wa Kingdom and the Ouchi clan were on the same page, and they should have tried their best to win over the Ming Dynasty, but because of the eunuchs, both sides were wary of the Ming Dynasty and were unwilling to completely surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

"That's why you went up to ask the court to cancel the previous policy." Zhu Gaochi asked lightly.

Fang Wen did not back down, he was for the development of Liaodong, not for his own selfish interests, he was dedicated to the public, he was not afraid of arguing with His Royal Highness the Prince, after all, it was not the Qing Dynasty in history.

The old official who thought he was in the past, dedicated to the public, discussed with the emperor how to better govern the place and make the people's lives better, but in exchange for being raided, you are so dedicated to the public, with bad intentions.

"The eunuch trade has been repeatedly banned, not only the poor people of the Japanese country have no way to make a living, but also take the initiative to seek it, the local population in Liaodong is scarce, coupled with the harsh environment of land reclamation, and the existence of eunuchs is also needed, so the imperial court should not suppress it."

Hearing Fang Wen's statement, Zhu Gaochi did not doubt it.

For example, eunuchs, even if the imperial city decrees that no new eunuchs will enter, there will be a large number of homeless people from the palace, huddled at the foot of the imperial city every day, waiting for the day to enter the palace and have a place to eat.

The Wa State should have been in a period of stability, but because of Zhu Gaochi's action, the shogunate did not solve the Ouchi clan, resulting in the unification of the Wa State, and still maintained a civil war, there was no stable environment, let alone economic development, over the years, the domestic economy of the Wa State was corrupted, the people's livelihood withered, and there were a large number of people who took the initiative to cut themselves to Jinzhou to survive.

Zhu Gaochi was very heartbroken.

The Ming Dynasty is civilized, and it is precisely because of the existence of the Ming Dynasty that there has been a civil war in Goryeo in history, and the same is true of the Wa Kingdom, all because of the Ming Dynasty, which suppressed their contradictions.

Look at how many wars the existence of the Ming Dynasty has reduced the wars of the surrounding countries.

If it weren't for Daming, these places would have been beaten into dog brains a long time ago.

As for the fact that after they finished fighting, they were reunified, they had stable development, and in history, not only the economy was restored, but the population was also greatly developed, but that was all something that happened in history, and it is not happening now, is it?

If you don't look at it from the perspective of double standards, the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly civilized, and the approach is absolutely correct, those forces and people who undermine the Ming Dynasty's layout order in the world are careerists, and the opposite of the common people should be condemned and brought down.

No matter what Zhu Gaochi thinks, the contradiction between Goryeo and the Japanese state has not been resolved, in an unstable environment, not only the people's livelihood is withering, but the population is also decreasing a lot, the wealth is transferred to the Ming Dynasty, craftsmen and scholars flow into the Ming Dynasty, and the people at the bottom, the good ending is to come to the Ming Dynasty, like the existence of eunuchs, to contribute to the development of the Ming Dynasty, or like the female maids, in addition to making up for the Ming labor force, but also to give birth to children for the lonely and widowed old people of the Ming Dynasty, and provide more new population for the Ming Dynasty.

Just like before the economy developed in later generations, the main way for young women in China to enter the country was to marry local lonely and widowed old people, women in their twenties and thirties and old men in their sixties and seventies, which was the standard at that time.

Even in various TV series, whether famous or not, the role involves this aspect, it is such a phenomenon, domestic young women with American old men, until the domestic economy develops, it becomes a domestic young woman with a foreign young man.

People who can't meet the needs of food and clothing do not have dignity, and the people who marry are different, this is the benefit that overall economic growth brings to individuals, even if you are also poor, the treatment is different, and you can get the serious treatment of others.

Zhu Gaochi did not veto Fang Wen at the first time, and the attitude of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince surprised the officials, and it seemed that the direction of the court was about to change.

Zhu Gaochi left the capital, in fact, there was a reason for Zhu Di.

Zhu Gaochi wants to continue to develop and open up through development, this kind of thinking is not accepted by everyone, many people think that with the current power of the Ming Dynasty, why should he reason with others?

When Zhu Di returned to China, these people had the backbone, so Zhu Gaochi left the capital and returned the political stage to Zhu Di.

Along the way, Zhu Gaochi has seen a lot of social phenomena, good and bad, and now in Liaodong, in the face of the officials' remarks, Zhu Gaochi decided to let go completely, and the demand cannot be violated.

In Zhu Gaochi's memory, he still remembers an academic article in later generations.

About egoists.

Western sociologists, such as the economist Adam Smith, shared the view of egoism as the engine of business growth, including the philosopher David Hume.

However, with the development of society, further on top of it, the social milestone was summed up, and a new conclusion was drawn that the consequences of such development were found to be the past at the expense of the traditional values of cooperation and friendship among compatriots.

The egoism needed by capitalism weakened these spirits and eventually led to the collapse of society.

To prevent commercial capitalism from sowing the seeds of destruction, Ferguson advocated a sense of civic spirituality and encouraged people to act for the public good of society rather than for private gain.

This point of view influenced the political ideas of Hegel and Marx, and finally became the foundation of modern sociology in the West.

So from this, Zhu Gaochi did see the shadow of a large number of egoists in the domestic society.

They criticized the defeat of foreign wars in ancient China, ridiculed the defeated monarchs, and praised the great achievements of those who opened up the territory and expanded the territory.

I don't want to fight, but I think that the ancients should fight and enjoy the benefits of the ancient people's wars.

In the same way, the people of the Song Dynasty were not willing to fight.

Therefore, the self-interested are the moths that lead to the final destruction of society, and they are still living in the modern period, in the mainstream social theory of the West, but they do not know the existence of the modern social theory of the West.

My lord, times have changed.

Americans don't talk about that anymore, and people have long started talking about unity and family.

Based on this.

Zhu Gaochi left the capital happily, Zhu Di is not afraid of hardship, and is willing to do a lot of work, then let him do it, what Zhu Gaochi has to do is to consolidate the foundation of the place, through personal visits, to better understand the needs of the place, and to provide logistics for Zhu Di's upcoming action.

Regarding the discussion of the use of eunuchs, Zhu Gaochi decided to listen carefully to the ideas of the local social elites in Liaodong.

Different from other places, the industry in Liaodong is mainly dominated by the Daming Industrial Bureau, and the capital of private commercial banks is very small, so the new group of people who come to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are mainly the heads of the Daming Industrial Bureau in all aspects of Liaodong.

Zhu Gaochi first went to Beizhen.

Beizhen was the main force of the Liaodong army, stabilized the situation in Liaodong, and then went to Liaoyang.

Historically, in the early Ming Dynasty, immigrants were mainly in Quang Ninh, with the development of population and economic recovery, Beizhen was an important area, and gradually expanded to Liaoyang, becoming the largest city, and then Shenyang, which has been developing outward, and finally the population reached more than four million.

It is precisely because of the foundation of Shenyang that Houjin has the choice of taking Shenyang as its national capital.

Now it is different, the development of Liaodong has long exceeded the peak of Liaodong in history, but the population of Liaodong is only two million after all, so Liaoyang City only has some vitality, and Shenyang, further north, currently only exists in Weisu.

Entering the local guard house, the military households of the guard house had already cleaned their houses, and Zhu Gaochi and civil and military officials, as well as local elites, entered the homes of military households.

In the yard of the military family's house, there are not only coals, but also a lot of wood.

The big trees around Beiping City, the people are not allowed to cut down, this ban was in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, but the people's daily life is inseparable from firewood, so the ban can not stop the people, resulting in the trees around Beiping being cut down.

Liaodong is different, Liaodong developed late, there are a large number of trees, the people can get free firewood by making their efforts, so the military households in Liaodong are still mainly based on firewood in their daily life.

The firewood was cut down into blocks, and the hard-working military households put the firewood neatly in a stack, giving people a pleasing to the eye.

Zhu Gaochi sat on the kang in the military household's house.

The people of Beiping mainly use the pit paved with floor tiles in their homes, and the main kang is burned in Liaodong, which also warms the house and keeps them warm when they sleep at night, not afraid of the cold.

The military households brought local specialties, such as pine nuts, and put them on clean plates and placed them on the kang table.

Zhu Gaochi crossed his legs and talked to the military households, just like ordinary small talk, such a gentle Royal Highness the Crown Prince made the military families very happy and bold, and even chatted with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about the war.

"It's good to fight, only by fighting can you be promoted, and only then can you glorify your ancestors."

"We who are soldiers do nothing without fighting."

"Whoever the court wants to fight, we will fight whomever we want, and there are still people who can't open their eyes, which means that we have fought less, kill those who are not convinced, and see who else disobeys us."

The soldiers grinned and said chilling words, and the officials smiled.

Zhu Gaochi showed a satisfied look.

Whether it's right or wrong, only victory can't be lost.

Only if you win, even if you find out that you made a mistake afterwards, you can shed tears of pity and repent to the person who was killed by yourself, and you can't lose the battle and stay in the ruins to reflect again.

Whether they are barbaric, cruel, uneducated, or civilized, as long as they are victorious, any accusations afterwards can be accepted with an open mind.

Just like the kangaroo nation of later generations, they can repent to the extinct natives, but they will never regret it.

Liaodong is different from the domestic one.

There are too many scholars in the capital, and they are beginning to reflect.

By the end of the eighteenth century, the growing industrialization of the West had brought about a great change in the traditional societies of Europe. At the same time, some thinkers, such as Adam Smith, tried to explain the rapid changes in society in economic terms; Others, such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, started with political philosophy and summarized social phenomena ideologically, academically, and scientifically.

Zhu Gaochi is very fond of the environment and social atmosphere in Liaodong.

Zhu Gaochi has always been worried.

It has been 50 years since the Ming Dynasty recovered the mountains and rivers of China, and the unification and restoration of Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as more than 20 years of industrialization, are built on the heritage of Chinese civilization, as well as the current situation in the world, the Ming Dynasty has developed too fast.

If you are not afraid of the barbaric physique, you are afraid of the civilized physique.

If anything is too much, if it is too civilized, Zhu Gaochi will be very worried.

The new generation has grown up, and they have even begun to reflect on the war, Zhu Gaochi can't help but think, demand is really something that people are difficult to fight.

They have no worries about food and clothing, tired of the constraints of the school, tired of the society's expectations of them, although this proportion is still very small, but when more and more reflectors begin to think about why they are sacrificed in war, then the upper limit of the Ming Dynasty appears.

No one wants to be sacrificed, no one wants to be extravagant.

The United States began to emphasize the family, let people love the family and love their children, and tried to make people understand the truth of contribution, but unfortunately they did it too late, and in the end they could only absorb a large number of foreign soldiers and black soldiers.

Ten years, or twenty years, Zhu Gaochi was a little worried, the children of the capital could not bear the future of the Ming Dynasty, and there would be more and more such groups, so Zhu Gaochi left the imperial court.

Some things still need Zhu Di, these traditional people, fortunately, Zhu Di is a person who is willing to endure hardships and is willing to roll up, rather than staying in the capital to enjoy the rich character.

Twelve years of Yongle.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince began to inspect the whole country, and the emperor took back the right to govern, and in only three months, the officials suddenly found that the direction of the imperial court had changed, and they were not talking about development, economy and other words, but about the world.

The whole world is not the king's land.

Which tribe in the seven western provinces defied the laws of the Ming Dynasty and barbarically plundered the surrounding tribes.

Siam's annexation of Sukhothai, the old yellow calendar, has been turned out and talked about it, and the angry people have itchy teeth, how can there be such an angry kingdom that dares to go against our Ming Dynasty.

Goryeo, Wa Kingdom.

Clever people smell something unusual.

Soon.

The names of the Goryeo Trade Group, the Eighteen Firms of Goryeo, the Goryeo Human Resources Company, and the Goryeo United Firm, which had disappeared for several years, appeared in the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty.

With the Ming Dynasty promulgating the project to establish the Nuergan Railway, there was only a small space in the newspapers.

Zhu Gaochi stayed in Jinzhou for two months.

A railway from Goryeo to Shanhaiguan and a Nuergan railway along the Heilongjiang River to the mouth of the sea, two major projects were launched, and those eunuchs who had built an industrial foundation in Liaodong were only comfortable for less than a year, and most of them were transferred from their original positions.

Hundreds of thousands of eunuchs were organized to go to new harsh environments, building bridges over rivers, pumping water in swamps using steam engines, paving roads in the woods, and laying sections of railroad tracks on the ground.

The Yongle Dynasty in history, five expeditions to the desert, seven to the West, the recovery of Jiaozhi every time is a huge project, now Yongle 12 years, the western, southernmost, northeast at the same time to start a large-scale railway.

The capital expansion speed of private capital in Goryeo has gradually caught up with the Daming Industrial Bureau, and through these large infrastructure projects, the Daming Industrial Bureau has suddenly opened up the distance from the private commercial banks, and the private commercial banks have not seen the shadow.

Under such a huge project, the transfer of millions of workers not only did not damage the economy of Daming, but in this year, Daming's social productivity reached a new height.

Under the huge gap, the economically developed areas will reach the extreme "siphoning" phenomenon in the economically backward areas, and the first to collapse is Goryeo, which was most deeply affected by the Ming Dynasty, and was splashed with "blood" by the development speed of the Ming Dynasty.

It was clear that the displaced people were caused by the northern and central parts of Goryeo, but they broke out in the southern part of Goryeo.

Jeolla-do, Goryeo, where the invasion of the Japanese kingdom was resisted in history, and the place where the Goryeo civil rebels were most prosperous, the outburst of the rebel rebellion was originally not taken seriously, and the king of Goryeo sent people to quell the rebellion, but the news of the defeat came back, so it was suppressed and defeated again, and it became the place of cholera in the south of Goryeo.
