Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 357 The First Five-Year Plan
Zhou Congwen looked at the newspaper and found an inconspicuous report in the corner of the tenth page, "Confirmation and Identity of the Ming Dynasty Clan".

"Hey, is this going to restore the identity of the Ming clan?" Zhou Congwen was quite curious, but Zhu Yongrong, who was standing opposite him, was shocked.

Zhou Congwen read the report again, and then he said with a smile: "It turns out that only a hereditary title will be restored. There will be no title, no salary, and no benefits at all. From now on, it will only bear the ceremonial obligations of the clan, but it will have no real status. It is said that the direct descendants of the princes can be found, so it is ratified. If the direct descendants cannot be found, there will be no more successors. After the clan, no one who is not a direct descendant of the royal family will be granted any title. "

Zhou Congwen himself commented: "The emperor is really not very kind to these relatives of his own family. The princes and grandchildren of the royal family have experienced this turmoil and suffered countless deaths and injuries. Not many survived. Unexpectedly, there were none. Continuing the tradition of the prince taking care of the clan, but letting go of it completely."

Zhou Congwen skimmed this report and saw the list at the end, and saw a name at the beginning: "Hey, Zhu Yongrong, brother Zhu, isn't that your name?"

Zhu Yongrong grabbed the newspaper and read it clearly. Sure enough, he saw the word "King Min" before his name. After reading it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It actually does exist."

Zhou Congwen changed his expression slightly, and said, "His Royal Highness King Min?"

Zhu Yongrong returned the newspaper to Zhou Congwen, and said with a smile: "What's the meaning of this false name, it's better to be called Brother Zhu, it doesn't matter."

Zhou Congwen has experienced the baptism of new ideas. At this time, he also has a little sense of equality. He will not be soft on the neck of any prince or general. He smiled and said: "At least he is the prince of my court, and it is hereditary. Five-clawed dragon robe."

When the two said this, Zhu Yongrong's old servant Lao Chen and his England employee Shi Dong rushed to the library to look for him excitedly.

"I'm overjoyed, my lord, oh no, it's my lord! The imperial court has recognized your prince status!"

Shi Dong was even more excited: "Boss, hahaha, I, Shi Dong, am really going to change my luck! You are now the prince of this huge empire, that's amazing. If we go to Europe, we will definitely receive the most grand reception. And make a lot of money."

On the contrary, Zhu Yongrong was not as excited as outsiders. He waved his hand and shook his head and said: "The emperor said in the past that the clan is actually abolished, and now it is just giving us a false name, which is not only useless, but also a burden." I have to bear some ceremonial matters for the emperor, and my behavior must be supervised by the chief inspector. If I make a mistake, I will directly seize the title. Before, I really considered going to Europe to take a look, but now If I want to go out, I probably need the approval of the court."

Zhu Yongrong greeted Zhou Congwen, cupped his hands, said sorry, and went back with his two family members.Although it is a false name, official certification is still necessary. After all, he, Zhu Yongrong, represents the Min King lineage.

Zhou Congwen glanced at Zhu Yongrong who was leaving in a hurry, shook his head and smiled lightly.

In Shuntian Mansion, Bai Mingxiu also felt a little tired in the past two or three days.The Congress of the Republic is indeed a very intensive and high-intensity event. I have to say that most of the current senators are submissive, and they are here for a meeting rather than a trip.However, there are also a few serious councilors in it, who really take it seriously, and repeatedly attack and defend with the responsible party of the Legislative Yuan around some issues.

On the contrary, most of these controversial issues are non-economic issues, such as the promotion of simplified Chinese characters, compulsory education, state subsidies, and even military construction.On the other hand, economic issues may be very professional, and most of the senators didn't understand them, so they let them go.

Councilors such as Huang Zongxi advocate the simultaneous development of agriculture and commerce in thought, and the various construction actions of the Council of Governors in the First Five-Year Plan have won the support of the councilors.

Some councilors also questioned the Ming Dynasty's current policy of taking state-owned enterprises as the main body and mobilizing a large number of state-owned enterprises. What they said was nothing more than "the state does not compete with the people for profits."However, Bai Mingxiu has seen many similar debates on the Internet in later generations.For example, investment in large-scale infrastructure construction has slow returns but strong radiation impact. These are things that private capital, which places more emphasis on medium and short-term interests, cannot take care of.What's more, the industrialization that Ming Dynasty is currently carrying out is not the same as the traditional form of not competing with the people for profit.

"...In the First Five-Year Plan, it is estimated that 70.00 large-scale state-owned enterprises will be built and consolidated. The industries involve steel, chemical industry, coal mines, machinery, railways, trains, shipbuilding, ocean trade, etc., of which [-]% are heavy industry enterprises. The overall industrialization The leading idea is—state-owned capital focuses on the development of heavy industry to strengthen the country’s backbone; guides small private capital to enter light industry and other areas of people’s livelihood, effectively increases the supply of social consumer goods, and enriches the country’s flesh and blood. The former focuses on technology and quality, while the latter focuses on flexibility and convenience.” Tang Beilu This is how it was described in the report on the industrialization of the First Five-Year Plan with the House of the Republic.

"In the economic field, Ming Dynasty will clarify the idea of ​​building a country by industry, trade and immigration, consolidate the foundation of my country's industrialization and ensure the momentum of development, and at the same time promote the prosperity and closeness of domestic commercial activities, and vigorously sell Ming products overseas."

If there are any counselors, they question: "My Ming Dynasty is a state of heaven, rich in the world, rich in products, and everything. Why trade with overseas barbarians?"

Bai Mingxiu jumped out to answer this topic by himself: "My Ming Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world, with the largest population and the longest history. It is indeed rich and rich. However, with the development of technology and the progress of the times, we will always find something. We are lacking, such as metals, the previous generations could only use gold, silver, copper and iron, but now not only tin and aluminum are used more and more, but other metals such as chromium and titanium are also appearing. And even if It is an existing thing, and our country lacks copper mines. Now my copper mines in Ming Dynasty are already very dependent on imports from Myanmar and Australia. Tropical species such as rubber, we also rely on imports from Xuanweisi in Nanyang. This is only in terms of raw materials , and the market is even more so. If there is no demand, there will be no supply. The bigger the market, the bigger the industry, and the faster the development, the better.”

Bai Mingxiu concluded: "It is precisely because we have owned the treasured land of China for generations, so we do not pretend to seek outsiders, so it is easy to fall into the circle of dynasty change, rise and fall, and reincarnation. If we look outward, to explore a bigger Space, always progressing, always allowing people to live and work in peace and contentment, there is no such curse of reincarnation. Therefore, building a country through trade and expanding living space outwards are necessary conditions for our Ming to be able to prosper in the future!"

　The description of killing Tatars in the introduction of the work was automatically changed to killing slaves? ? ?What kind of operation is this? We don’t dare to tell you, and we don’t dare to ask.
