Chapter 206 Governance (1)
The Ming Dynasty has been passed down for more than two hundred years, and the contradictions accumulated over the years will evolve into cancers and bad policies after the precipitation and fermentation of time.
To effectively solve these problems, you must stand at a higher level and try to ask Daming to jump out of the original trajectory and take a brand new route.
Some things need to be done openly.
Some things need to be done with hiding.
Especially the cancers and disadvantages involving the class must be hidden before effective changes are formed. After all, in a sense, this is a matter of betrayal and beating.
"The two families, food has always been the most important matter in front of the Ming Dynasty." Emperor Chongzhen walked with his hands behind his back and said to Xu Guangqi and Sun Juxiang who were accompanying him.
"Since the late Wanli Dynasty, my emperor's grandfather, Huangkao, and the emperor's brother, and I have experienced so many disasters in the past ten years under the rule of our Ming Dynasty?
I'm afraid I can't count it.
The earth dragons turned over, locust plague, drought, flood, snow disaster, etc., they appeared in various parts of our Ming Dynasty as if they had discussed it in advance.
I don’t want to talk about other levels, just talk about agricultural planting. Because of the occurrence of these disasters, it’s not a big reduction in production in the Ming Dynasty.”
Xu Guangqi and Sun Juxiang looked solemn.
indeed.
I don’t know when it started, but the Ming Dynasty was like a hornet’s nest that had caused disaster. It was either this place or that place, and it would never stop.
"So through these things that have happened, I can basically be sure that there will be many disasters under the Meiji in the next ten years or even longer."
Emperor Chongzhen stopped, turned to look at the two of them, and said, "It's not that I'm looking forward to the arrival of the disaster, but in fact this is the situation that we cannot stop.
Then it is very necessary to actively do things such as increasing production, storing grain, and disaster prevention, especially the first two items, which are the top priorities.
This is also the position I want to show when I summoned two noble families.”
Xu Guangqi is mainly engaged in warehouses and agricultural science.
Sun Juxiang is the main corps.
The words said by Emperor Chongzhen made both of them know what was going on.
"Your Majesty, I think the matter of increasing production can be changed."
Xu Guangqi stepped forward and said, "The corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other things we cultivate in some imperial farms in Zhili are growing very well.
If everything goes well, the crops planted will have a high yield when they are harvested.
What the court now needs to do is to clarify some policies first and clarify the first batch of large-scale planting areas. As long as it can be effectively implemented, the results of increasing yield will inevitably be significant in a few years."
"This matter will be drafted by Xu Qing."
Emperor Chongzhen reached out and said, "The first batch of large-scale planting areas can be tentatively designated to coordinate these things in Northern Zhili, Shanxi, and Shandong.
If you want to ask the Ming Dynasty to be able to accept the cultivation of imported materials such as corn, this requires a gradual process, and you cannot do the mandatory one.
At this stage, the Ming Dynasty cannot withstand any changes, and I cannot say that such a thing will happen. Once a food shortage crisis occurs, it will be more harmful to the Ming Dynasty."
High-yield crops such as corn and sweet potatoes have been introduced to the Ming Dynasty since the Wanli Dynasty and have truly formed large-scale planting, which has been in the spring and autumn for nearly a hundred years.
There are many meanings behind this.
There is objective.
Subjective.
What Emperor Chongzhen had to do now was to shorten this time limit and to form a large-scale planting in the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible. Only with food could he do other things.
For example, increase the size of the off-production group.
For example, increase the scale of full-time soldiers.
The Ming Dynasty, after all, must go global, and move from the small peasant economic system to the industrial economic system. Only in this way can change be ensured.
However, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know how long this road would take to go, so he could only move forward step by step.
"Your Majesty, with the assistance of Zhili Governor Lu Xiangsheng, a group of military storage warehouses have been identified." Sun Juxiang followed closely behind.
"The military storage warehouses identified by Tianjin, Daming, Guangping, Shunde and other prefectures have begun to be built and will be completed at the latest by the beginning of next year.
Hejian, Baoding and other prefectures are still underway. Recently, I have been urging that if all the construction is completed, I may have to wait until the end of next year.
However, under the rule of Jingtong Second Warehouse, a lot of new grain has been collected and stored recently, most of which were from Tianjin Port, and were actively negotiated by the Inner Court Office and handed over to the warehouse.
"Sun Qing should pay more attention to this matter."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly and said, "The general's storage warehouse system is expanded, one is to deal with the disaster situation, and the other is to innovate local storage.
Why are there any ban on local affairs of favoritism, fraud, corruption and abuse of power? It is the past that is not completely applicable to the current Ming Dynasty.
The patriarchal ritual system must be followed, but if some levels that are known to be problematic are not rectified or adjusted, then can the Ming Dynasty ensure stability?"
Xu Guangqi and Sun Juxiang looked solemn.
"Your Majesty is right."
Sun Ju bowed and replied, "After some new regulations in the warehouse were clearly implemented, many hidden dangers in the past have been effectively solved one by one.
Especially when jailing and stealing are registered, the supervision is clearly established, and the inspection system is completely eliminated.
I am following Your Majesty’s will, and I have been working hard to improve various systems and cultivate talents involved in warehousing. I believe that when Your Majesty wants to innovate local warehousing, you will definitely be able to complete the burdens you have delivered."
"Okay, this is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty."
Emperor Chongzhen praised without stinginess and said, "If there were more wise ministers and talents like you in my Ming Dynasty and local areas, then why would the Ming Dynasty be like this? In this situation now?
I often think of some people's stubborn ideas, and I often can't sleep or eat. If the country and country that the ancestors of the Emperor Ming Dynasty cannot be managed well in my hands, then I will be unfilial!
So don’t care about what you have experienced in the court. Doing your own part is to help me share my worries and the country.
I always believe in my heart that with the help of my family, no matter how many difficulties the Ming Dynasty encountered, I will definitely be able to rule the Ming Dynasty and come out.
Those internal and external troubles before us will be eliminated one by one, so that the Ming Dynasty will be revived again."
"I will obey the order!"
Xu Guangqi and Sun Juyi bowed.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen smiled with gratitude. Who said that the Ming Dynasty had no talents? It’s not that there were none of them, but that these talents were not valued. Now that he exists, there will be some changes.
