During the one to two years of war, the economic development of the Ming Dynasty was not hindered, but because of the war, the interior was able to maintain a stable order. This favorable environment provides good conditions for the development of all walks of life, and many industries show a thriving scene.

The Ming Dynasty has been implementing the Katajing system for decades, and the farmers of the Ming Dynasty have worked this land and have become the backbone of society. They are industrious, simple, and become role models for society.

The farmer lived decently and was a decent person.

At the same time, however, more and more draconian land policies have caused a large number of small-scale farmers to leave their land and flock to the cities.

For these people, joining the Daming Industry Bureau is the most ideal career choice. The Daming Bureau of Industry has the best treatment, backed by the imperial court, providing a series of employment opportunities, and has become a place that many people yearn for.

In addition to the Daming Industrial Bureau, the national large commercial houses are also places that people yearn for. These comptoirs are large in size and cover all parts of the country, providing abundant employment and business opportunities for people. Many people have gained financial independence and success by working in large comptoirs.

There are also small business houses, as well as the common ones who go to work in the business shops that help their relatives.

It is not uncommon for three generations of grandparents to work in the same business house, which is not only an economic phenomenon, but also a cultural phenomenon.

With the victory of the Ming Dynasty in the war against the Japanese State, the people of the whole country were extremely jubilant.

Against this backdrop, the Ministry of Workers' and People's Relations began to issue circulars encouraging people to move overseas and open up new horizons. However, for many people, the traditional idea of falling back to one's roots is deeply ingrained, and it is not easy to break this tradition.

Nevertheless, it is the interests that are eternal and the most urgent needs of human nature. For those who are willing to take risks and pursue more room for growth, moving overseas may be a good option.

Through their own efforts and wisdom, they can create a new world overseas and realize their dreams and ambitions.

In fact, it is to be able to divide the land, become the owner of the manor, and live a decent life.

As the saying goes, the leaves fall back to the roots.

Without the action of external forces, it is difficult to break the tradition, and these four words alone can make people want to return to their hometown when they die.

But interests are eternal, and they are the most urgent needs of human nature.

Migrating overseas to become a manor owner is a blessing for generations, no one will take the tradition out and shout rebellion, if at the beginning people subconsciously resisted because of the birth of novelty, or even because of fear and stayed away, no one will refuse today.

Together with the previous numbered list of the Ministry of Workers' and People's Union, the first group of 50,000 people has already begun to assemble.

It is mainly the people of the southeast coast, and then gradually moves inward.

Although the population of the Ming Dynasty increased dramatically, the population on the land was not more dense, except for those big cities, the population in the countryside was getting smaller and smaller, although there was no vitality in the past, but the people who stayed were also nourishing.

There are more and more trees in the countryside, and the wild grass is growing day by day, and wolves, which have long been rare in the mainland, have begun to appear.

Wolves are intelligent animals and do not come near human villages, and since they appear, it means that there are more prey in the local area, such as rabbits and pheasants, and sometimes people in the aisle can also meet them.

There are pros and cons to everything.

People can occasionally catch some wild animals, but they are also threatened by wild beasts, although wild beasts avoid human activities to the greatest extent, but there are one or two accidents every year.

The society that has been comfortable for many years has become vigilant.

The children of military households in the interior of the country have developed a hunting style like the children of military households in the border areas, and regularly arrange a group of people to patrol and hunt in the surrounding areas to drive away the wild beasts around the countryside.

The population in the countryside has decreased, while the population in the big cities has increased.

The city wall is no longer built, and the strength to build the city wall is not as good as the construction of the bus track, and the people who built the city wall are enough to build a complete bus track, and the population of the capital has exceeded two million.

According to the tradition stipulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, Jin Yiwei would compile the news between the wells of the capital and send it to the palace every day, including the price of goods, so that the emperor could understand the people's feelings and economic conditions of the people in the capital, and then make corresponding decisions.

With a population of 2 million, the capital is unprecedentedly large.

Jin Yiwei recruited a lot of talents, including recruiting sketchers who rose from the newspaper house, with the ability to quickly and really draw things in front of him, Zhu Gaochi and the cabinet ministers returned to the east wing after docking.

Soon after, his son Zhu Zhanji also followed, and saw his father looking at the booklet sent by Jinyiwei.

Zhu Gaochi looked at some prices, as well as folk news, and his eyes stayed in the last corner for the longest time, and the Jinyi guards naturally put the good news in the front with a capital close-up, and they couldn't wait to write the whole book, but the bad news was only described in three words and put at the end.

Every year, many people come to the capital to find a livelihood, build a shed in the suburbs at night, and the family lives in the shed, and go to the city to work during the day, and the suburbs become urban areas in ten or twenty years.

The original urban area is naturally planned, but the suburbs are not planned, and when the suburbs become urban areas, when they come to plan again, they find that they have nowhere to start.

It is very rare for these ordinary people to change their own class, but with their own hard work and the development of the Ming Dynasty, there are still a lot of surplus money in their hands.

Some people have moved out of the disorderly and impoverished shantytowns, some have built a yard directly in the same place, and some people are still living in shantytowns due to illness, accidents, or laziness, or gambling addiction, or theft, or cheating.

There are a lot of shantytowns in the suburbs, very many, not only not easy to manage, but also easy to breed problems, with the development of the capital, no one thought that these originally invisible places, actually expanded to the front, and even to the point that they can no longer be ignored.

"My son thinks that although this matter is small, it is actually related to the interests that the people care about the most, and the court should send a big man to take charge of this matter, so as to prevent the good deeds of the people below from becoming bad things."

Zhu Zhanji expressed his own opinions on his own initiative.

Zhu Gaochi did not answer.

Yes, even the emperor and grandson, who are praised by everyone and think that he has the style of a prince, also regard this matter as a trivial matter in his eyes, but those officials who were transferred out of the capital occupied the official house and did not leave, but no one dared to speak out among the officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

It's the fifteenth century, after all, isn't it, it's already done very well.

Zhu Gaochi comforted himself like this.

"When you go back, let the cabinet deliberate." Zhu Gaochi said calmly.

Zhu Zhanji had no accidents.

I have the impression that my father never seems to blame others for his remarks, so Zhu Zhanji dares to say anything in front of his father, of course, he won't say what he shouldn't say, and this is still reasonable.

After another moment, Zhu Gaochi opened the recital of the criminal department.

"In the Qin Dynasty, when others were in danger, the people next to them would be punished if they didn't help, and there were also clear rules on the distance, which was limited to 100 steps."

"It is not the people's hearts that are limited by 100 steps, but the encouragement of the people's hearts, it is everyone for me, I am for everyone."

"In the Tang Dynasty, there was a rule that if someone was doing something bad, someone next to them found that if they didn't stop it, they would be punished, and when the offender fled, the people on the road would also be punished if they didn't stop it."

"Recently, there was a case, Cangyuan Street abduction and trafficking case, and the first prosecutor was not guilty on the grounds that the murderer was holding a sharp weapon."

Zhu Gaochi remembered the thoughts of a scholar he had seen in his previous life.

In later generations, there was a foreign scholar Joseph Needham who was more famous, and he believed that the reason why modern science was not developed in ancient China was because of merchants, because ancient China was a bureaucratic society that valued agriculture and suppressed commerce.

For example, Arab science was 400 years ahead of European science, and early Arab commerce was very prosperous, and Muhammad himself praised the merchants.

But then Baghdad was established, and when the caliph established his rule in Baghdad, he began a campaign to organize the governing apparatus more fully in order to create a more bureaucratic state.

This system is similar to the one that existed in Persia before. Thus, Islamic civilization began with a commercial culture and ended with outright bureaucratization, so the decline of Arab society, especially science and technology, may be attributed to this.

In short, Joseph Needham may have thought that the emergence of modern science had a lot to do with the status of merchants.

So even if Joseph Needham admitted that before the fifteenth century, Europe benefited more from China in terms of technology. Although the ancient Chinese bureaucratic society was certainly inferior to the European Renaissance society in terms of technological creativity, it was far superior to the European feudal society or the slave society of the Hellenistic period before it.

But Joseph Needham also believed that the ancient bureaucratic society was one of the reasons that hindered the emergence of modern science.

So in the book of the great Chinese Industrial Revolution, all the examples are similar to the indicators of improving the economy of the local people, so there are great achievements.

But Zhu Gaochi also had some doubts.

Many scholars are guided by results, so it is very important to analyze what positioning or what to use as an anchor before the beginning of the article.

In Zhu Gaochi's eyes, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were completely different societies, and whether it was politically or in terms of civil society and public opinion, they could definitely not be equated.

Of course, the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly a backward feudal bureaucratic society, with many drawbacks, but this did not prevent a clearer understanding and definition.

It is as if England invented the steam engine for pumping water, but it was not spread and popularized in France and Italy, and when the more advanced steam engine appeared, France and Italy quickly imitated and popularized.

Historically, the Qing Dynasty was too speculative to seize the world, and after relying on cavalry and internal response to achieve a phased victory, Nurhachi was killed in the battle of Ningyuan City. The reason for his death in battle was the strategy of "relying on the fortified city and using cannons" adopted by Yuan Chonghuan in Ningyuan City.

Therefore, the Manchus hated firearms from the bottom of their hearts.

But although it is hateful, it cannot be used.

As a result, the Manchus used craftsmen to make firearms among the Ming prisoners of war.

Because the Manchu Qing Dynasty was an emerging force, the organization should be more smooth, relying on the old slaves to kill the poor first and then the rich, coupled with the rich spoils of war that they have repeatedly defeated, they took the lead in surviving their own financial crisis, and the finances were better than those of the Ming Dynasty, so the quality of the firearms made by craftsmen for the Qing Dynasty was better than that of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the use of firearms and cavalry allowed the Qing Dynasty to gallop outside the pass.

Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Jurchen population base was small, and in order to prevent rebellions among various ethnic groups, this was a necessary thing to do as a minority dynasty. Firearms, on the other hand, are the top priority. As a result of this weapon, a large number of Qing troops were killed and wounded. If firearms continue to develop, once the people revolt, whether they can fight with the Jurchen Eight Banners cavalry will become a major problem.

There was also the large-scale rise of the "literary prison", and the literati's thoughts were imprisoned.

It is not to show how enlightened the top of the dynasty was, but the Ming government's control over the local area was visible, so the literati wrote books more freely.

The same was true of missionaries, who were different from Confucianism and were allowed to operate in the vicinity of the capital during the Qing Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, even if Emperor Chongzhen issued an order, the missionaries still changed their names and could visit the whole country at will.

The different manifestations represent the interruption of communication between the East and the West.

For example, the flintlock pistol, an advanced weapon, can only become the imperial shotgun in the hands of Emperor Kangxi, on the other hand, the middle of the Ming Dynasty discovered the advanced weapons of the other party, and the advanced weapons have been imitated.

And when the British warships came to the coast of the Qing Dynasty, the Chinese artillery was still at the level of the late Ming Dynasty and even regressed.

Even if the West took the lead in developing natural science in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, then why can't the East learn it?

So the biggest reason is that the communication is blocked.

And the Ming Dynasty did not block communication, even if the royal family was dull and wanted to block it, with the social customs and interpersonal relations of the Ming Dynasty, even the emperor could not do it.

In retrospect, then, Needham's view was controversial.

From Zhu Gaochi's point of view, the decline of Arab civilization began with the unification of the Timurid Khanate, and the decline of Eastern civilization also began with the extreme conservatism of the Qing Dynasty.

The former did not break away from it until later generations, because it had been sunk for too long.

And the oriental civilization can rise quickly, because there is a Ming Dynasty in the middle, which retains a trace of the vitality of the oriental civilization, but the Ming Dynasty itself is not built on the Song Dynasty, and there are too many congenital deficiencies, and many disadvantages are retained, such as the martyrdom system that inherited the Yuan Dynasty.

The rise and fall of things must have cause and effect, and it is natural to have cause and effect, and it cannot appear out of thin air.

Daming has developed to the present, and Zhu Gaochi thinks about how to let Daming continue to lead civilization in the future.

The glory of some civilizations depends on the development of productive forces.

Some civilizations are glorious by plunder and destruction.

The glory of Eastern civilization has never been known for its destruction.

A conservative and backward Ming Dynasty, no matter how powerful the territory is, is just a zombie in Zhu Gaochi's eyes.

The virtuous live there.

As small as an individual, you have to be a useful person to society.

To live happily, to be a person who does not harm others, to be a person who is in harmony with his family, and who gets along with his neighbors is a person who is useful to society.

The same is true for the country.

The destruction of the Wa Kingdom and the wars of the Ming Dynasty for many years have caused many Ming scholars to reflect on how the Ming Dynasty should guide the clan system and shoulder the responsibility of the world's society.

The merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty are getting farther and farther away.

A lot of new lands were discovered, and even across the oceans to the other side of the world.

More and more countries became vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and under the temptation and explanation of the merchants, they signed an agreement with the Ming Dynasty vassal system, and the name of the Ming Dynasty spread to all over the world.

People know about China.

What kind of kingdom is this? (End of chapter)
