Beijing, New Army Camp.
A Dragon Kingdom warrior instructor held a loudspeaker and was conducting daily essential education work for the new army soldiers.
"Brothers, what are we fighting for?"
"For Ming Dynasty, for ourselves!"
"Brothers, what kind of army are we?"
"The troops of the Ming people!"
"What kind of team are we?"
"We are a team digging in the fields."
"Everyone, read our military song!"
"..."
"Come on, let's sing the next song:..."
The officers’ camp not far away!
Lu Xiangsheng carefully looked at the latest book "The Nature of the World" printed by Daming Weekly.
Next to him, Sun Chuanting was reading "The Relationship between the State and the People" which had not been published on a large scale.
Cao Wenzhao was also watching "The Glory of the Soldier", and next to him was a copy of "Friends of Dual-Use Talents."
There was only the sound of reading books in the military camp, until Sun Chuanting sighed: "The country and the people, the more they read, the more they sigh!"
"Brother Jian Dou (Lu Xiangsheng), after reading these books, I realized my own insignificance and narrowness. I finally got the answer to the confusion I had learned, seen, and encountered throughout my life from these books!"
"Bo Ya (Sun Chuanting), I feel the same way! It's just that the Ming Dynasty and Kyoto are not peaceful recently."
Cao Wenzhao ignored the two polite officials: "They are all clowns, not worth mentioning!"
Sun Chuanting frowned: "These people have deep roots and are too powerful!"
Cao Wenzhao rolled his eyes: "Hey, can it be as powerful as outside forces?"
The singing outside was loud: "Fight..."
The singing is very loud and the morale is very high!
Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng fell silent immediately!
Lu Xiangsheng took a sip of tea: "Two days ago, Marquis Polu wrote us a letter, saying that he would give us an uncle, Dangdang. Unfortunately, it is an honorary title, and we need to hand over our excess land!"
…
Beijing, a place of fireworks.
Several literati drank flower wine: "Issuing an order to Enke to appease the scholars? Haha, our emperor really knows the thoughts of the Ming literati. Don't they see the danger behind it?"
"Hey, it's all the work of Po Luhou behind the scenes. How can our emperor be so smart!"
"The princes in the court are divided a lot, and no one dares to refute the imperial edict."
"Brother Wentai, don't make any noise, the police are strictly investigating."
"snort!"
The civil servant immediately did not dare to complain and just kept drinking.
After a while, he was addicted to the fat fragrance and smoothness!
The Gungun princes in the Ming Dynasty complained very much about the orders issued many times by Emperor Chongzhen.
But they dare not make mistakes.
That castrated dog Wei Zhongxian is so disgusting.
The blood of the blessed king and hereditary nobles and generals has not yet cooled down.
Countless corpses reminded them that Emperor Chongzhen was not someone to be trifled with!
No, it should be that the mysterious heavenly soldiers behind them are not easy to mess with.
Forget it, although Emperor Chongzhen plays the piano randomly, their life will be a little harder, but life can still be passed.
We are not worried!
We are not afraid!
Anyway, Ming Dynasty could not lack scholars to maintain its rule.
The magnificent revolution in the imperial court was temporarily suppressed due to the bloody suppression and the emperor's massive money-spending actions.
But the anger of the civil servants, scholars and gentry in the court is still building up!
The Ming Weekly newspaper repeatedly mentioned dirty things about the gentry, which made them feel uneasy!
But they still choose to pretend to be ostrich.
Ming Dynasty cannot do without them, these are just the pains of innovation!
They anesthetize themselves so much!
Time just gritted my teeth, endured it, and spent more than half a year lying on my knees.
The first year of Chongzhen passed away like the tide.
Spring has arrived quietly, March of the second year of Chongzhen has arrived quietly!
In nine months, there were no major problems in the Ming Dynasty.
Although many corrupt officials were raided, hundreds of civil officials were beheaded, and hundreds of criminal officials were planned to be exiled to the New World to assist the vassal in opening up wasteland.
However, major problems such as riots in various places and people fleeing their homes did not occur.
On the contrary, the decayed dynasty is regaining its vitality.
Within nine months, 1.5 million people moved to Liaodong through official procedures and began reclamation work.
Two million people chose to migrate on foot or by borrowing money and renting boats to immigrate to Liaodong.
Among them, the majority are from Zhili and Lu people in the north.
They were closest to Liaodong and had no land, so they were naturally enthusiastic when they learned that land would be opened up and given away.
The Ming Dynasty borrowed money and rented ships to move, which was actually initiated by the Ming Dynasty government. The borrowed travel expenses and other materials will be under the unified jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty's new army.
They will repay the rent and interest after three years.
The interest is only 30% of the toll.
Compared with the high profits that come out nine times and seventeen times back, this is completely a charity industry!
Millions of people have arrived in Liaodong, and the pressure on food is naturally great!
But all the maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty participated in the grain transportation operation!
All over the world, wherever there is food, there are merchants from the Ming Dynasty waving banknotes.
The reason why they are so crazy is not only the court's support for maritime merchants, but also the imperial edict issued in July of the first year of Chongzhen: merchants can exchange grain for land in Liaodong.
The status of merchants in the Ming Dynasty was low, and the land they could legitimately obtain was even less.
The Ming Dynasty suddenly opened up a new policy. As long as they could bring eight stones of grain from outside, or use their own grain, they could exchange for one acre of land.
You must know that at this time, only fifteen taels of cash could be exchanged for one acre of land, and all was still in the fields.
Although the land belonged to the Ming Dynasty officials, merchants could obtain the land legitimately.
Although the lease period is only fifty years, the Ming Dynasty Weekly and the land lease contract clearly stated that businessmen can continue to enjoy farmers' farming rights after fifty years.
Although they only have farming rights, construction rights, minerals, and rare resources, the Ming Dynasty will recycle the land at market prices, but they are already very satisfied.
This is a great gift!
The merchants of Ming Dynasty can finally stand up!
The cash-strapped businessmen went crazy for land.
They transported the backlog of food to places where food was needed, and a large amount of food alleviated the food crisis of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Coupled with various policies, there were finally no large numbers of disaster victims in the Ming Dynasty.
…
Kyoto, Xishan, a small courtyard somewhere!
More than fifty people sat at the table and held a meeting.
Chen Mu is in the first place, and Chen Aiguo is in the deputy seat: "The farming and immigration plan is going quite smoothly. It will take Ming Dynasty one year to move more than five million people smoothly. Chongzhen can lead the people to migrate to the New World in three years.
."
"These days, the vassal kings in Liaodong have done a good job in reforming their prisoners, and they are all very honest!"
"Several shipyards such as Jinmen Shipbuilding and Liaodong are expected to put into production in June this year."
Bian Zhuang reported the news: "200,000 new troops have been formed! They are all sons of good families from the proletarian land, and they have done a good job in ideological education. The 400,000 border troops have been given sufficient wages in silver, and their mental state and morale have been adjusted quickly.
.But the troops we can control are still 200,000 new troops."
"The workers in Xishan are also receiving training. At the critical moment, they can train 30,000 new troops. There will be no problem with the stability of the border."
Li Miao adjusted his glasses and said tiredly: "The engine in the industrial zone is ready. The steam train is being built, and the railway can also be built, but we are in danger of insufficient labor and food."
"Commercial banks have already laid out affluent areas through seizures and acquisitions, but people in the Ming Dynasty are not very enthusiastic about saving. We need a radical savings plan."
"We need big construction and enough labor!"
"After we purchased grains in Annan, Nanyang and other places, the quality of life of the people there has become worse and worse. We can implement the follow-up railway construction plan."
"Hey, I wonder how many people will die in those places! I agree with accelerating the labor construction plan."
Industrial transformation is difficult and full of blood and corpses.
They purchased grain, and although they rescued the Ming people, the foreign lands in the south fell into a food shortage.
Buying their food and causing them to fall into food shortage, Ming Dynasty then recruited a large number of laborers through recruitment. This was a series of schemes.
In the later period, these workers will pay countless blood and sweat for the construction of Ming Dynasty!
But they are not from the Ming Dynasty, so don’t worry about them!
"The people who migrated to Liaodong have already taken root. The Jurchens are also very good at building roads, but there are more than 100,000 young people with serious health problems, and their radiation sequelae are serious."
"I can't control this!"
"The planting and cultivation of sweet potatoes is very smooth. It is expected that 30 million acres of land will be planted with sweet potatoes in the three years of Chongzhen."
Thanks to the sweet potato as a food artifact.
As the Ming Dynasty spared no effort to promote it, millions of acres of sweet potatoes were produced in the first year of Chongzhen.
In spring, the number has increased more than 30 times. The number of sweet potatoes planted will increase this year.
The yield of sweet potatoes has increased, but what makes the people of Ming Dynasty feel regretful is that the exchange price of improved sweet potato seeds has now dropped to one stone and five hundred cents.
"The Spanish and Portuguese brought a large amount of improved potato varieties and have planted 100,000 acres. However, it will take more than two years for these improved varieties to take effect."
"Winter wheat and other grain seeds are also being cultivated, but the speed is not fast!"
"In the second year of Chongzhen, we still focused on developing and educating the new army. The army is everything. As long as we control the army, we can thoroughly implement our plan!"
"agree!"
The meeting continued for a while and various miscellaneous things were confirmed.
After the end, Mu Siyue coughed and said, "There is important information. Please watch this video."
A video quickly played on the tablet.
The protagonists are obviously Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Chunchen.
Zhu Chunchen said slowly: "Your Majesty, we have conducted countless investigations and identified the feces, clothing and food of those heavenly soldiers. We can be sure that they are ordinary mortals."
Chongzhen remained silent!
"Your Majesty is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire Ming Dynasty belongs to you. You are treated with contempt by those people all day long, and the slaves and others are heartbroken to see it!"
"I know, but they are too strong!"
"Your Majesty, this..."
Video playback is over.
Mu Siyue sighed: "Zhu Youjian contacted Wei Zhongxian, and recently Zhu Chunchen also contacted Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Cao Wenzhao and Man Gui!"
