Chapter 2644: Burning the bridge across the river

And now, Emperor Jiajing has succeeded in cultivating immortality.

He began not to pay attention to political power, and began to arrange ministers, princes, and gentry at will.

However, he forgot that this would backfire.

Now he remembered.

He began to compromise with those ministers.

He couldn't compromise directly, so he returned to the Riddler's colors.

And ministers also began to choose to compromise with him.

After all, if this continues, everyone will suffer great losses.

So the villagers began to know again:

"The emperor is not dead. It was a rumor before, but now it is still Jiajing."

After this incident, Jiajing discovered his own weakness:

The people actually do not have direct control in their own hands.

He knew this before, so he used power to deal with those people.

Now he decided to take a more direct approach.

Use magic to solve problems.

So a new round of oppression of the people began.

It's just that he spared the wealthy families and high-ranking officials.

But this day.

Wen Rensheng and the other four people had already decided to make a plan.

They could not tolerate Jiajing's chaos any longer.

A typical feudal emperor, full of chaos.

Weak externally.

It seems that a group of Japanese pirates have been defeated, but everyone knows the background of the Japanese pirates: a small number of hired tool pirates, a large pirate holding company, and various local forces as the background.

But against the real enemy, the northern grasslands, they were defeated again and again.

Until Qi Jiguang grew up.

"It is easy to kill Jiajing, but difficult to bring peace to the world, so we have to kill him and then impersonate him, so as to cause as little turmoil as possible." Wen Rensheng said.

The other three nodded.

Then they began to devise a method.

If you want to kill the opponent, you must lure the opponent out.

How to seduce?

"This is easy to handle. He needs resources for cultivating immortals, so just make one up for him."

"What if he doesn't come out?"

"If he doesn't come out, it will be the same as long as the people around him come out." Wen Rensheng said with a smile.

soon.

News spread that a thousand-year-old elixir appeared on the mountain in the western suburbs of the capital.

When Jiajing heard this, he immediately laughed.

"What a ridiculous rumor. The elixir that lasts forever didn't exist ten years ago."

It was just the next piece of news that moved him.

"The ten thousand year elixir is fake. It is said that the national jade seal has been born and can symbolize all people."

Jiajing had to pay attention.

Because the piece of jade "ordained by heaven to live long and prosperous" has been missing since the Han Dynasty.

Going back and forth, it’s all re-creation.

The Ming Dynasty piece was stolen from the Yuan Dynasty.

But those from the Yuan Dynasty are not considered authentic.

So Jiajing immediately sent someone to look for him.

Of course he also knew that this was probably a trap.

So he sent many people to design a trap for counterattack.

However, he found that none of the people sent there had been heard from.

And Yuxi seems to have really been born.

Because he found that his luck was losing.

It's obviously going to be lost to another person.

This is not okay, this is a big problem.

He immediately sent out his most trusted eunuch, whose cultivation level was only half of his own.

He is in the foundation building stage.

The Great Eunuch is already at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Then, there is no more.

The great eunuch was also destroyed.

"Damn it, who is it?"

Then he panicked.

Because he suddenly discovered that every bit of the power around him to defend himself was taken away by others.

He didn't take the bait.

But as a veteran, if his chariots, horses, artillerymen, and elephants are all gone, doesn’t that mean he’s dead?

Then, under the fear of Emperor Jiajing, the four people rushed into the palace.

All the masters in the palace were captured.

Emperor Jiajing wanted to escape, but the exercises he practiced were based on luck.

If you leave the palace and the capital, you will have no luck.

Just like an emperor who leaves the capital, he can easily lose his throne.

Baozong is one of the most typical examples, and there are many other examples.

If you leave the capital, you will lose the hearts of most of the officials and the people.

The possibility of them recognizing another emperor is greatly increased.

So Emperor Jiajing had no choice but to stick to it.

"This guy is still a bit difficult to deal with!" the novice man said seriously.

"He won't last long. This guy has never fought a real monk's battle. He has always been on top."

"Yes, he actually ran away because he was afraid of pain?"

"The insistence is ridiculous."

These people have all gone through arduous training by Wen Rensheng.

And it takes a long time.

They also know how terrible the Lord God is.

Although the third main god is relatively merciful, the future war will be cruel.

After all, they are modern people and have been eliminated.

So at the cost of several arms, they captured Jiajing.

Then turned it into a puppet.

"In this way, our plan can be realized."

"Yes, a qualified emperor should be a puppet."

"There is no need to change the emperor, but to change the cabinet, but the cabinet should not be changed too frequently."

"And if the emperor doesn't understand, don't interfere too much. Just see the results."

Just like Chongzhen, he changed things repeatedly but could never grasp the fundamentals.

The most powerful savior was not used.

That is Sun Chuanting. Because this is a loyal minister who is likely to become a powerful warlord.

Because he was able to sort out the occupied land and get military pay and food from these lands.

It's a pity that Chongzhen couldn't resist the pressure of these gentry's appeals, forcing him to fight quickly.

Simply ridiculous.

This means that we fail to grasp the fundamental point.

Is that the time to take care of the mood of the local gentry?

Not at all.

We should take out a province and let Sun use his hands and feet.

Chongzhen has no self-confidence and no patience.

To put it bluntly, I have not done things from beginning to end and lack patience.

This is how Chongzhen failed.

A complete failure.

In contrast, Jiajing was very patient.

It's a pity that he met Tiantuan.

Wen Rensheng's wisdom completely overwhelmed him.

In this way, the four successfully captured Jiajing.

"What are you going to do? I am the emperor, the son of heaven, and the destiny of the Immortal Dynasty!"

"Don't make mistakes!"

"Beware of divine punishment!"

However, the four people turned a deaf ear.

They don't care about the emperor.

They directly replaced Jiajing, and then changed Jiajing's previous methods and cleaned them up from the beginning.

The entire Ming Dynasty is still enjoying a good momentum.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because the lowest level can still survive.

At least 90% of people will survive.

They first settled on the entrance examination method.

In fact, Jiajing has developed a simple entrance examination method.

But he was not in the mood to go deeper.

His main time is still spent on cultivation.

He just selects a group of people who are loyal to him to serve as examination officials and conduct inspections in the capital every three years.

This kind of authority to pass the exam is very big, and it is equivalent to urging yourself to get up early.

The difficulty can be imagined.

Wen Rensheng, on the other hand, relied on his golden finger ability and his own skills.

Then large-scale training begins.

Academic and industrialized training.

Trained a large number of disciples.

Then take advantage of the convenience of cultivating immortals and build an immortal network.

Use information networks to build a new Ming Dynasty.

In other words, although the productivity of the Ming Dynasty is still that of ancient society on the surface, the exchange of information has entered the modern information age.

With this powerful exchange of information, the economy and various creative aspects have developed rapidly.

Just like in the Jiangnan area, people mainly pursue strange things.

The more peculiar it is, the more eye-catching it is.

Men wear all kinds of strange clothes and like all kinds of novelty things. Western things are especially fashionable. This is reflected in the fact that Xu Guangqi and others specialized in translating Western books. Many terms were defined at this time.

The nouns in the Elements have been used until modern times.

It can be said that these talents are the first ones to open their eyes, and the gap is very small at this time.

Some systems are easy to introduce.

It is a pity that the vitality of these systems is not strong enough to replace the original Ming Dynasty and not enough to resist the barbaric power.

Wen Rensheng knew this aspect very clearly.

Now, Wenrensheng has solved this problem with a better system.

Rapid information exchange allows businessmen to quickly capture business opportunities.

Then sell large quantities of supplies to places that are in urgent need.

This is a very convenient place.

It can quickly stabilize prices.

The next step is to vigorously improve transportation.

After improving information and transportation, efforts will be made to increase food production.

Jiajing did better before.

He directly found many kinds of high-yield crops from overseas, such as sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, and high-yield rice...

These crops later played a huge role.

Energy is conserved.

In fact, the starch yield of these so-called high-yielding crops is not much higher than that of wheat and rice. The most important thing is that they are relatively high-yielding.

They can be planted in barren and scattered plots and are drought tolerant and barren.

For example, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn can be grown in fields and dry land.

It requires much less moisture than wheat.

Even if the weather is bad, there will still be a harvest.

This greatly reduces the possibility of famine.

In fact, after the promotion of these crops, the population increased to twice its original size.

This is a crop that directly increases the population limit.

As you can imagine, their output is quite stable.

Otherwise, the population cannot grow steadily.

In bad years, a good return can be achieved.

This is something that staple foods such as wheat and rice cannot achieve.

Both wheat and rice require a lot of water and can only be grown on large, flat land.

Fertility requirements are also relatively high.

Of course, the reason why they have persisted into modern times and squeezed out other grains is very simple.

Their growth pattern can be highly matched to agricultural machinery.

Their ears are on the head, so wheat and rice are easy to harvest and plant.

Unlike other crops, corn is not easy to harvest. It is much more troublesome than wheat, and threshing is also troublesome.

Needless to say, sweet potatoes and potatoes require more complex agricultural machinery.

But in feudal society, this was not a problem.

And corn is more drought resistant.

Relying on sweet potatoes and potatoes, ordinary people can survive the disaster years.

In short, there is the agricultural revolution first, and then the industrial revolution. If agriculture cannot be done well, it will be useless no matter how well the industrial revolution is done.

The textbooks only focus on the Industrial Revolution.

It seems that once industrialization occurs, people will have food to eat.

This is nonsense.

In fact, the premise of the Industrial Revolution was that after sufficient food was obtained from the colonies, the agricultural population was squeezed out and turned into a migrant labor force. Only then could industrialization take place.

Because food has become a bulk commodity and can fully meet needs, people are no longer self-sufficient and need to sell their labor force to become part of industrial production.

The green revolution in the colonies came from the reclamation of large amounts of land, the use of mules and horses, and modern fertilizer technology innovations.

In this way, industry and agriculture promote each other and achieve a balance.

If there is no food revolution and blind pursuit of industry, everyone will starve to death.

Agriculture is always the foundation of the foundation.

And this point was not deliberately stated.

The food problem must be solved first before other problems can be solved.

Therefore, under the arrangements of Wen Rensheng and others, compared with the entire era, the entire Ming Dynasty became very advanced and the economy was very developed.

While other forces were still in famine, Ming Dynasty had entered an era of obesity.

We have begun to promote healthy living.

Many people dream of living in Daming.

"Being a dog in Ming Dynasty is better than being a human being here." This is the thinking of many people.

After all, dogs from the Ming Dynasty could eat well for more than ten years.

Being able to live freely without worrying about starving to death.

In other places, they may never have enough to eat throughout their entire lives.

The main mission of rebuilding the Ming Dynasty can be said to have been basically successful.

But what remains is the key issue.

It is actually not difficult to create a prosperous age.

The hard thing is to keep going.

The mission requires that it last for more than 500 years.

There will be higher rewards if it lasts for 5000 years.

This is a bit difficult.

The first 100 years of prosperity.

Everyone is happy.

Everyone is happy.

The four parties paid tribute and requested to be incorporated into the Ming Dynasty.

Grasslands, plateaus, deserts, and islands all choose to submit.

Then came the second 100 years.

A new problem has arisen.

People who had eaten and drank enough began to ask new questions.

"Why can't my son reach the foundation building stage?"

"Yes, why are there so few cultivation resources distributed?"

"The resources are all monopolized by the upper class!"

"We are going to rebel. For the sake of our children and grandchildren, we have to take back the resources they took away!"

In this way, a huge rebellion began.

The participants are mainly old men over 80 years old.

The motivation for rebellion is for one's own grandchildren.

There is a saying that says, a grandfather loves his grandson the most.

He scolds and beats his son, and screams pain at his grandson.

"For the sake of our grandson, we must get these cultivation resources back."

"We are old and can no longer survive. We cannot let our grandson make the same mistakes again!"

These old rebels attacked all the way and were invincible.

No one wants to fight them.

After all, there is still a habit there, respecting the old and loving the young.

What's more, the old men are doing it for their grandchildren, which makes the soldiers feel that this is for their own good.

Naturally, no one is willing to put in the effort.

All in all, a group of old men soon began to attack the capital.

The four people saw this scene, and three of them were very angry.

Of course Wen Rensheng thought it was normal.

The newbie man is very angry:

"100 years ago, you would have sacrificed anything just to have enough to eat."

"Now that you have everything, you still want to rebel?"

"When the emperor crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, you commoners will do the same when you cross the river!"
