Chapter 1432 The confidence of the military
Mao Wenlong was very painful and frustrated after receiving the information about the Songnen Plain that the detective team had worked hard to pass back. The Songnen Plain, also known as the Sanjiang Plain, was one of the largest granaries in China in later generations. In the difficult period of low standards, it was only by
Developed by Million Informed, together with Beidahuang, it solved the food problem of 800 million Chinese people in one fell swoop, and it’s unknown how many lives were saved.
"It was developed at that time to save lives. If you develop it now, wouldn't it be fatal?" Mao Wenlong covered his face in frustration, really not knowing what to say or what to say.
Mao Chenglu suggested: "Commander Father, since the enemy can break into North Korea along the Liangjiang Waterway and evacuate North Korea's supplies, then I will lead my cavalry division and rush into the Liangjiang Waterway to kill the Manchus with a black tiger.
Burn those crops and catch him off guard." Then he said proudly: "Anyway, we have done this a lot, and we are really familiar with it, and we can do it accurately every time."
Mao Wenlong had nothing to say about his adopted son's whims, which were not naive.
Xu Jie had to educate this fierce Zhang Fei for Mao Chenglu's godfather.
"Not to mention that they have already built cities and forts on that waterway and stationed troops and horses, so you won't be able to get through. Even if you get through and enter the Sanjiang Plain, you will face the five million Koreans who already have their hearts set on the Qing Dynasty.
There are 100,000 North Korean soldiers in training, and you are facing 15,000 Zhengbai flags, which are blocking your way back. How can you come back?"
Mao Chenglu just shut up.
After pondering for a while, Mao Wenlong finally thought about it: "Okay, since you, Huang Taiji, and I are here to restore production, then I will give you a military start." Then he looked at the northeast with a smirk on his face: "Agriculture
Come on, I can't do anything to you, so let's start an arms race and see if I don't bankrupt you."
The reason why Mao Wenlong said this is because he has the confidence.
The current Ming Dynasty is no longer the original Ming Dynasty. Through Mao Wenlong, a time traveler, and Zanchaotang in three battles, he has completely changed the fate of the Ming Dynasty and relieved the financial embarrassment.
The Donglin Party that brought the Ming Dynasty into the abyss has been completely swept into the history pile, replaced by a group of young officials with strong energy and pioneering spirit. And the eager for quick success, mean and unkind Zhu Youjian will no longer
There is no chance to ascend to the throne. Emperor Tianqi, this kind-hearted emperor who is good at employing people and accepting advice, no longer works as his carpenter, and truly takes on the heavy responsibility of the Ming Dynasty. The most important thing is that he escaped that disaster.
It has been nine years since the apocalypse, and he has opened up his heart. Under the guidance of Mao Wenlong, he is actively exercising. Now he is in great shape, eats deliciously, and is full of energy.
.Looking at the current situation, if no one assassinates him, he will not have any problem in taking medicine blindly like his grandfather, and he will live for seventy or eighty years. In the Ming Dynasty, at least for forty or fifty years, the situation will not repeat again.
And it is precisely because he is firmly on the throne that the reform of the cabinet system, land reform, tax reform, maritime trade reform, household registration reform, industrial and commercial reform, and financial system reform implemented by Mao Wenlong will be slowly implemented within these decades.
And it is stable. After 40 to 50 years, any emperor who comes to power wants to change them back, which is definitely a fanciful dream. With such an advanced system and stable implementation, it will be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to prosper.
The most direct effect is that maritime trade boosts industrial and commercial trade, and the development of industry and commerce drives employment. The liberalized household registration system allows landless refugees to find jobs, thus cultivating a new class - the working class.
The rise of the working class has freed up land for many farmers. The growth of the working class has led to an increase in the prices of food and agricultural products, allowing farmers to live a prosperous life, which in turn has promoted the development of agriculture. Fixed
The contracting fee and the land contracting policy without corvee have made people's production more flexible. Now, even if natural disasters continue to occur, looking at the Ming Dynasty, there is almost no starvation to death anymore.
The Mongols in the north have completely integrated into the Ming Dynasty, the She'an Rebellion in the south has subsided, and the rogue bandits in the west have ceased to exist. The original dilemma of being embattled on all sides has been completely broken. A Ming Dynasty that faces the sea and is open on three sides begins to show its vitality.
of vigor.
It destroyed Japan, annexed North Korea, developed Taiwan and America, and opened up a larger market for Ming Dynasty's population export and the development of Ming Dynasty's industry and commerce.
In such a great situation, there is no need to recuperate and recuperate compared with the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Huang Taiji needs to recuperate and recuperate, but the Ming Dynasty no longer needs it, and Mao Wenlong no longer needs it. As long as he has money, he can buy any supplies in the Ming Dynasty, and he still needs it.
The kind that welcomes his purchase with both hands.
Internal war can indeed drive a country into poverty and bankruptcy. But predatory and semi-predatory wars like Mao Wenlong's external wars can only stimulate the economic development of the mainland. Just like the United States in later generations, if the United States does not fight for several years
Try it? On the contrary, it will go bankrupt directly.
Then, just as Huang Taiji was recuperating, Mao Wenlong decided to skip the recuperation stage and directly engage in military warfare. First, he was to quickly restore his military strength and crush Huang Taiji before he could restore his military strength; second, he was
Later, there was slight inflation in the mainland, which also needed military spending to consume. At the same time, it continued to increase the GDP of the Ming Dynasty. Oh, there was no such saying at the time. Well, let's continue to stimulate the output of the industrial, commercial and maritime industry.
In this way, I hope that with this stimulation, the Ming Dynasty will slowly transform from an agricultural country to a large country with a balanced development of agriculture, industry, and commerce. Let the troika of agriculture, industry, and commerce pull the Ming Dynasty toward glory.
However, I don’t need to recuperate in production, but the rising prices and bad signs of inflation that have appeared in the Ming Dynasty are because more money is issued. The emperor Wei Zhongxian, the Minister of Household Affairs, and the Minister of Household Affairs, who don’t understand finance at all, especially that
Zhang Jixian is now complacent about the strong national treasury, abundant internal funds, and ample bank operations. They have not felt at all that a huge inflationary crisis is coming quietly, which may completely overwhelm the market and the Ming Dynasty's economy.
The disaster that suddenly brought Ming Dynasty back to its original shape is quietly brewing. The reason why this kind of crisis, also called a financial crisis, occurred so quickly is not because the foundation of Ming Dynasty was too weak at the beginning. The market, which had just been formed less than ten years ago, had no foundation at all.
It cannot absorb so much sudden influx of hot money, resulting in the formation of currency, which is caused by the large influx of gold and silver.
Therefore, now the Ming Dynasty is experiencing inflation where things are expensive and money is cheap.
