Chapter 1265 The troubles of happiness

The big gift that Emperor Chongzhen referred to was actually a salary increase for Ming officials.Let all officials in the world know that if the treasury revenue increases, everyone will benefit.This kind of benefit is a serious salary, not a gray income, so you don't have to worry about the factory guard suddenly coming to your door.

Compared with the past, today's salary is no longer in kind, and it is no longer discounted, and all of them are issued with Daming banknotes.Convenient, affordable, and good to use.

Speaking of this, it is also a loss that the currency of Ming Dynasty is basically based on paper money.Otherwise, if there is still only silver as currency, the economy of Ming Dynasty has flourished in the past few years, and silver will not be enough at all, which will lead to the cheapness of silver, which will affect the enthusiasm of the people of Ming Dynasty to create labor, and cannot reflect the value of labor.

Of course, Ming paper money is no longer issued in a one-to-one relationship with silver, but is based on the annual treasury revenue estimate as the premise of circulation. Panicked because of the precedent of the Daming Treasure Banknote.

Emperor Chongzhen announced his intention to increase salary, and everyone was naturally happy.This year's New Year's Day, no matter who they are, as long as they are ordinary people in Daming, including ordinary people, officials, and relatives of the emperor, they are all happily preparing for the New Year.There is no other reason, probably because it gets better every year.

Just as the Chinese New Year was about to start, Emperor Chongzhen also received a big gift, that is, the Jinyiwei sent to the Lion Kingdom and Goa two months ago, news came back through the chat group.

The Lion Country and Goa were indeed colonized by the Portuguese. The difference from the original history is that the current Governor of Colombo in the Lion Country is still an "old friend" of Daming, and he is the original Governor of Haojingao Shiweila.After this guy escaped from Daming, he stopped in Annan and then went to Temasek, but soon came to the Lion Kingdom.

Based on the stalemate between the Portuguese and the aborigines in the lion country, Shivela just promised to exterminate the aborigines, so he got the post of governor of Colombo.

Speaking of which, Shivela is really capable. He changed his predecessor's stupid approach, immediately softened the natives, and then began to divide and win over. The natives of the lion country have no power to fight back.

On the Goa side, seeing that the situation in the Lion Country is very good, they also began to strongly support Shivela's side.He sent an army composed of Portuguese, and more servants, to land in the Lion Kingdom to fight.

According to the news reported by Jin Yiwei, the aborigines in the lion country may not last until the end of next year.

After hearing the news, Emperor Chongzhen could not help but smile a little more on his face.As for the Lion Country, I was going to decide, and I was worrying about finding a reason to turn it into Daming's "Hawaii".

Fortunately, Shi Weila, one of the most wanted criminals in Ming Dynasty, actually became the king and hegemony in the Lion Kingdom. No matter what, he had to send troops to arrest him.Moreover, the Portuguese encouraged Annan to rebel, and the crime was also unforgivable. Don’t say that the Lion Kingdom and Goa were Portuguese colonies. If Ming wanted to send troops to attack, even if it attacked Portugal’s own country far away in Europe, it was also well-known.

In this case, after the new year is over, you can plan to send troops to capture Goa and the Lion Kingdom.As for Europe, right now, Portugal, Holland, England, Spain, and Tsarist Russia are all hostile to Ming Dynasty, and they all have reasons to send troops to attack these countries in the future.But right now we can't talk about sending troops to Europe, it's too far away, we can't reach it, let's take it step by step, sooner or later the whole earth will belong to Ming Dynasty!
When Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. When the whole earth belongs to Ming Dynasty, then he would be worthy of traveling through it!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his eyes to Wa Kingdom again.I feel that the progress of the Wa country is a bit slow. It would be great if I could find a way to speed up the progress of the war in the Wa country.

After all, first, a lot of army and navy have been gathered in North Korea, and the troops streamlined from the Nine Sides are still heading to North Korea, and even a few guys in the Beijing camp who want to make military achievements have also gone to North Korea.

Second, I am planning North and South America, and the Wa Kingdom is the springboard for planning North and South America. The sooner I win the Wa Kingdom, the sooner I can land in North and South America. It is best to establish a Ming base in North America as soon as possible.

However, there are still a lot of Japanese military forces, whether it is the Tokugawa shogunate or the coalition forces of the remnants of the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Chongzhen was a little bit reluctant, and took the lives of the Ming soldiers to fight the Japanese kingdom for the vassals.

Don't look at Daming's population of about [-] million, but now that it is expanding in the southeast and northwest, the manpower is still a bit tight.In this era, there are few entertainment programs. As for electricity, it is still under experimentation and cannot be used for lighting. The people of the Ming Dynasty go up and down. At night, there is basically only one program for entertainment, but it is a pity, children. The premature mortality rate in China is still too high, and the mortality rate of adults due to minor diseases and disasters is not low.It seems that Ming's medicine must be accelerated.

In this regard, there is a little common sense, and Emperor Chongzhen knew it.Now at this time, there are already conditions to solve this matter.

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered the three monitoring systems of Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate through the chat group to count the birth status of all parts of the country in the past three years.

In this day and age, marriage is too early, and many girls who should still be in school in later generations have become mothers, which is very unscientific.But since ancient times, they have always married and had children so early. If a direct decree requires women to marry and have children after they have reached the age of eighteen, it may attract criticism.It is not easy to change the concept of up and down.Only by talking through the data, counting all the statistics, and putting the numbers in front of everyone's eyes, only in this way will it be effective and be understood by them!
Human life is at stake, if anyone wants to conceive a girl under the age of eighteen, let him lose that troublesome part, let's see how many people don't cherish it!

Correspondingly, in addition to setting up children's schools throughout the country, government-run hospitals should also be set up.However, there is too little talent pool in this area, or the discipline of medicine should be established, otherwise, it would be really unrealistic to set up government-run hospitals across the country.

Emperor Chongzhen remembered this matter in his heart, and then began to think about it for himself.During the eight years of Chongzhen, he was basically in the capital and did not go out for a walk.The time at Yongping Mansion was not counted, it was too close to the capital.After the new year, I will go to the south for a walk and see, and avoid the cold by the way.

After thinking about it, it was getting dark, and it was time to eat again.Think about it, which concubine will be in bed tonight.Emperor Chongzhen was a little distressed, which was also the reason for his soft heart. It must be raining and dew, so he began to arrange this matter for his concubine in his heart.

Compared with his troubles of happiness, Dorgon, the puppet emperor of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties who was far away in the country of Wa, was the real trouble.

　For everyone to read on the way to work, I will post a little bit first, and then post a chapter in the evening.
