What was the emperor busy with during his day?
What is certain is that the emperor will not work in the fields with that golden hoe on his back.
In fact, the emperor's day is the same as that of ordinary people, at least there is no essential difference.
In the early morning, at 6:30, Zhu Xianhai would get up. Unless he slept with several concubines last night, which was a little ridiculous, otherwise this was an unchanging rule.
But as an emperor, you always have to be ridiculous. Otherwise, the carefully selected female officials in the palace would be very lonely.
In other words, isn't it boring to be an emperor? Now that you have become an emperor, you should enjoy it.
This is also human nature.
Wednesday was another ridiculous day as usual. At about 9 a.m., Zhu Xianhai finally got up from the pile of nephrite in Wenwen Township. He looked at several young women of different ethnic groups lying in a mess on the bed.
After lamenting that living in South America, a melting pot of races, it was not easy for him to control himself and choose food, Zhu Xianhai forcibly suppressed the thought in his heart that wanted to continue the absurdity, and got up like a saint.
At 9:20, after freshening up, Emperor Zhu Da exercised for another 20 minutes - taking a walk on the trail beside the Xin'an River, and then enjoyed a sumptuous breakfast in the restaurant.
The breakfast is said to be rich, but in fact it only consists of milk, eggs, etc., which means there are relatively more varieties.
While eating breakfast, Emperor Zhu Da read the newspaper. Newspapers are the best channel to understand the outside world. If you listen at the same time, you will understand!
Emperor Zhu Da was very good at listening to the voices of the people and listening to public opinions from newspapers. It is a pity that the nearly three million Spanish, Italian and other European immigrants living under the Ming Dynasty now want to naturalize.
He became more and more interested in reading Western-language newspapers. There was no longer a Western-language newspaper in the Ming Dynasty.
However, they can read Chinese, as they have to learn it sooner or later anyway.
Neither the latest issue of "South China Morning Post" nor "Huang Ming Daily" contained any news worthy of special attention. After enjoying breakfast, he took a walk for a while as usual before entering the study.
At this time, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning. Secretary Song Yuanqing handed over the prepared materials. It was not until this time that Emperor Zhu Da started his day's work.
The day's work begins with the intelligence briefing from the Imperial Investigation Department. The Imperial Investigation Bureau agent who submitted the intelligence briefing has been waiting in the waiting room. According to regulations, the intelligence briefing must be handed over in person, and no one else is allowed to use it in the process.
After opening the simple seal of the information, Emperor Zhu Da looked at the contents of the briefing, both domestic and foreign. In short, the world was at peace. However, it could also be seen in the briefing of the Security Command soon.
Another group of residents living in the "Tekko" took the initiative to apply to immigrate to the "Gulag".
Well, they will live happily there.
"Your Majesty, the Left Prime Minister and various ministers have arrived at the conference room and are waiting for your summons."
Wednesday is also a routine state meeting. Unlike Monday's imperial meeting, only the prime minister and department ministers notified in advance attend the regular state meeting. The imperial meeting is attended by everyone.
In order to improve the efficiency of state meetings, as early as the company period, Zhu Xianhai would ask his secretary to sort out and classify the topics that each department prepared to discuss at the meeting in advance, and classify the topics into a summary of the meeting.
Doing this can maximize the efficiency of the meeting. Even future generations of multinational companies will not discuss trivial matters at board meetings.
As the founding king of the country, Emperor Zhu Da was the de facto monarch when he first established the imperial system. Since he was the de facto monarch, he had to shoulder the responsibilities of a monarch. But he was not willing to do everything himself like the "ancestor" Zhu Yuanzhang.
, do everything down to the smallest detail, and work diligently to death.
Of course, a more important reason is that the Ming Dynasty also had a diligent emperor, Emperor Chongzhen. This emperor also did everything personally, down to the smallest detail, and was so diligent that... he died of the country's collapse.
Is my ability like Chongzhen or Zhu Yuanzhang?
No one is sure about this matter. After all, as an emperor, we are also the eldest daughter and we are not the head of the sedan chair. But as an emperor, it is right to catch the big ones and let the small ones go.
The emperor has to ask questions about trivial matters, so what do those ministers do? Are they just free earners by paying them such high wages?
We definitely can't let them just idle like that. That's why we have to make the best use of everything, so that we can be worthy of the wages paid to them.
After arriving at the conference room, there was not much etiquette, just bowing and saluting, and then the ministers spoke in turn.
After commenting on several issues, Zuo Zongtang, the imperial prime minister, and Fang Zhanbo, the minister of industry and commerce, presented a major event.
There is not enough coal in Ming Dynasty!
"...As of last month, 50% of our country's coal relies on Patagonia Plateau coal mines, and the other 50% relies on imports. However, with the development of industry and the increase in private coal demand, the current gap is increasing day by day.
If we do not solve the coal supply problem and just rely on imports, we are afraid it will seriously affect our industrial security."
The security of the coal supply chain is national security!
Everything is good in South America, except that there are no large coal mines. Rio Turbio, located in southern Patagonia, is the largest coal mining area in Ming Dynasty. Almost all the industrial coal in Ming Dynasty is supplied by this coal mine. But even so, Ming Dynasty has
We also had to spend a lot of money to import coal.
There is no way around this. If there is not enough coal, the steam engine will not be able to operate. It will be impossible to start the factory. Therefore, imported coal becomes the only option.
The shortage of coal resources is an important constraint on the industrial development of Ming Dynasty. Once the supply chain is affected, the industrial production of Ming Dynasty will definitely suffer a major blow. This is a core problem that must be solved!
"This star really wants to retire"
"The production and supply of coal is a major matter related to the national economy and people's livelihood. This matter must be fundamentally solved!"
Zhu Xianhai thought for a while and then said.
"There are coal mines in the Beihai Governor's Region. We can increase the exploration of coal mines and build a new batch of coal mines to meet our needs."
In another time and space, British Columbia was the most important coal-producing area in Canada. Most of the local coal mines were open-pit mines with shallow burial layers that were easy to mine. Moreover, the coal was high-quality metallurgical coal, which of course could also be used as thermal coal.
"Your Majesty, the North Sea Governorate, like Alaska, is severely underpopulated. A coal mine with a production capacity of one million tons requires at least tens of thousands of miners. Without a sufficient population, even if there is a coal mine, it may be difficult to mine it!"
Minister of Industry and Commerce Fang Zhanbo directly pointed out the problem of Beihai Governor-General Region, and population is the biggest problem.
people!
So what if there is no one but there is a mine? You can only watch with your eyes wide open!
After a long silence, Zhu Xianhai said:
"Well, there is a shortage of labor in the mine. In my opinion, we can find a solution from China Africa Company. Well, we only need labor... let's deal with it according to labor treatment."
Emperor Zhu Da pinched his eyebrows and brought in workers. There was no other way. After all, coal always needs someone to dig it.
Since you don't have enough manpower here, or you don't want to use your own people to do the rough work, then hire cheap labor.
Besides, there is also a large amount of cheap labor available there. It is simply a waste to leave the ready labor unused.
"What about this labor? It is "contract labor". Everyone is familiar with this. You can study it and formulate a plan, um..."
Everyone must be familiar with it, because many of them are indentured laborers. Even when they heard this term, they couldn't help but frown.
After thinking about it, Zhu Xianhai said again.
"As for the contract of "indentured labor", I think we can learn from the advanced experience of foreigners. After all, they are very experienced in this field. We must be good at learning."
In fact, there are still many things worth learning from the old colonial countries in Europe. And being good at learning is the greatest advantage of the Chinese nation.
"Also, send a telegram to the Beihai side and tell them to complete the coal mine exploration work as soon as possible, try to find the coal mine this year, and then dig out the coal next year!"
After thinking for a while, Zhu Xianhai added.
"Also, Wang Dexing, your Ministry of Transportation must immediately implement the work of transporting laborers to the north, and from now on, send rebels from THT, Guantanamo and other places to those mining areas for training, and strive to allow them to complete their transformation as soon as possible and become qualified
Citizens of the Ming Dynasty. Although they are rebels, compared with those workers, many of them are educated and can be used as foremen. They can establish production indicators. This indicator must be compacted and grasped at the first level.
First level, implement it at every level! Yes, link the production indicators directly to their transformation, let them work hard to transform, and strive to start a new life as soon as possible."
When saying these words, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but sigh at his own kindness.
Compared with the barbarism of Europeans, Ming Dynasty was kind. Not only did it not care about the crimes they committed in the past, but it also gave them a chance to start a new life.
They may even have the opportunity to settle down on the African continent in the future and start a new life.
