My Daming New Empire

The star-making project is what he has always wanted to implement. In his plan, these ordinary soldiers and soldiers, after some packaging, will burst out with the glory of being no less than the middle school, or even the number one.

Of course, this is difficult, because the whole society's respect for literati cannot be changed by one or two people.The basic structure of the entire society today is scholars, farmers, commerce and industry, and scholars are at the top of the pyramid.

However, there are still a small number of people who can read, and most people can only know numbers, and they can't even write their own names.

There is only one way to change this situation, and that is universal education, so that everyone can become a scholar.

However, judging from the current economic situation and social structure, it is very difficult. He felt that if he could use the time in the 50s to increase his education level to above 50.00%, that would be enough.

There are fewer people today, and the entire Ming Dynasty has only about 5000 million people, but it is precisely because of the small number of people that the economic level of each region cannot support the comprehensive education of the next generation, and there are not enough teachers.

If you want to develop education, you must first increase the population, and the second is to develop the economy.

It is far from enough to rely on Daming's own development, so Daming needs to go overseas to plunder more resources to make up for its own economy.

When Nanyang’s grain can be continuously transported to Daming, and when foreign resources can continuously provide Daming with means of production, at that time, even if it is compulsory, compulsory education will start to be popularized among children.

These three days were a bit boring to Zhu Zhanji, but to others, it was a spiritual purification.

These people from the bottom class chose to serve as soldiers because of poverty, and they were not even afraid of becoming military households.Each of them has countless tragic experiences.

And these experiences, expressed in their clumsy language, will make them quite resonate.So you can often see a scene where a person above is talking, and the scene below and the second and third floors cry together.

So when this heroic deeds meeting, or the complaint meeting ended, most people still felt that they still had something to say.

When the future keyboard warriors hide behind the computer without worrying about food and clothing and criticize current affairs and complain about injustice, they simply cannot understand how low the requirements of people in this era are.

Some people's lifetime pursuit may be to have a set of winter clothes and a quilt for their family members.

And these most basic living requirements in later generations are all a dream for many people.

Because this era is rigid, if you are a child of a landlord’s family, you will have nothing to worry about when you are born, but if you are a child of a poor family, you will be exploited.

The little income earned from the land is not enough to pay taxes, pay rent, and have a full stomach is an extravagant hope.There is still a minimum of one month in each year to bring your own dry food to do free labor.

You want to go to work, sorry, but without a guide, you can't even get out.Regardless of whether it is a workshop or a restaurant recruiting apprentices, at least seven or eight years of free hard work is required to have a normal income.

These social injustices can only be endured by the lowest class. As long as they can have enough to eat, no one will rebel.

Before Zhu Zhanji became emperor and took power, he couldn't change this state. Even if he really took power, it would be difficult to change, because all these things need people to do these things, and these people are all vested interests. They are unwilling to change.

Zhu Zhanji has only one head and one pair of hands, so it is impossible to overturn the table at once to rebel against himself.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the whole society is accustomed to this state. They think that everything is justified. Even if he wants to change, others may think he is crazy.

So now he can only give these people an upward channel to let everyone know that not only reading can change their destiny, but also joining the army and fighting the enemy bravely can also change their destiny.

Therefore, he wants to use these 120 people as seeds, and spread them among the army and the whole society.

Let everyone know that even a small soldier, as long as he has meritorious service, can also become the upper class.

And these affected people will become staunch supporters of Zhu Zhanji's reform in the future.

Now he does not lack supporters from the upper class, but what he lacks are supporters from the lower class, so this time the battle hero selection, the person with the highest official position is just a defense.

They didn't know Zhu Zhanji's real purpose. They only thought that Zhu Zhanji wanted to burn the second fire in the reorganized navy and completely change the morale of the navy.

The first fire is of course the daily training camp. Today's soldiers do not have enough nutrition, and they can only eat one meal of meat in ten and a half months.Although there is no shortage of food, and the army is full now, the consumption of daily training cannot be made up by eating rice with pickles, or eating noodles alone.

Zhu Zhanji has always wanted to implement daily training for the entire army, but so far, only his first fleet has implemented it, and the other three fleets can do training every ten days at most.

But fortunately, the speed of changing firearms is speeding up now. Soldiers have muskets, and their combat effectiveness has soared several times compared to the past.

Short-term physical improvement is not the most important thing. These can be solved after the logistical supply shortage is resolved.

On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, which was also the last day of the meeting, everyone had lunch at the Navy Yard at noon, and then entered the most concerned part of everyone.

Of course, an old man like Wang Dazhu has no expectations for a wife, but if he can get a Dongying woman, he can also take it back and make it his son's wife.

If you think Dongying women are not good, you can sell them in the capital. After returning, dozens of taels of silver are enough to marry a wife for each of your sons.

But Huang Yuan and Zhu Zhanji are still studying how to distribute these fighting heroes to various water villages to continue publicity.

Yes, the commendation meeting at the Navy Headquarters is just the beginning. In the next year, these combat heroes will be assigned to various places to give speeches and reports, and the entire Navy will vigorously promote their deeds, so that their names will be passed on All over the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, ten representative deeds were selected, and they were prepared to be compiled into scripts and dramas, which would be published and performed in the entire Ming Dynasty.

And in this process, the final result of everyone, that is, the preferential treatment given to them by the imperial court, must be envied by everyone.

Rewards from the court alone are not enough, and the navy cannot surpass the army, and the rewards are too much.So the final awards were all given by Zhu Zhanji in his own name.

In addition to the land and silver rewards from the imperial court, Zhu Zhanji not only allocated a woman to each of them, but also allocated a house to each of them.

More importantly, Zhu Zhanji is ready to be knighted.

Granting them titles of course cannot be too high a title, but the viscount and baron that Daming is about to revoke can be rewarded to them.

Zhu Di didn't care about these small titles at all. He often made marquises and uncles for soldiers, so he directly asked Zhu Zhanji to discuss with Lu Zhen, Minister of Rites.

Of course Lu Zhen was unwilling to treat these soldiers so favorably by Zhu Zhanji, but he was not an upright or good official, but a corrupt official and a courtier.

So under Zhu Zhanji's strength, he only resisted for a few days. When Zhu Zhanji produced a large pile of evidence of his corruption and bribery, he became a tool in Zhu Zhanji's hands.

Conferring 120 titles at once seems like a lot, but for the whole Ming Dynasty, it is not much.

An earl only has a say in a county, and viscounts and barons are almost at the township level.

Moreover, this kind of Martial Lord, apart from rewarding the land a little bit and being able to reduce or exempt part of the tax, actually doesn't have much power in other aspects.

The biggest difference here is that from now on, they are not citizens, but officials.

These 120 people come from all over the country, and everyone's living environment is also different, so the rewards for everyone will not be exactly the same.

Huang Yuan has been busy for several days in order to coordinate everyone's rewards.Because these will be written into the book in the future, and the court's rewards cannot be too far behind.

First of all, according to the different military merits, it is divided into four levels from special merit to third-class merit.

Only a few soldiers who have died won this special merit, and their families will inherit these merits by reducing one rank.

For example, Wang Dazhu and Sunan, who obtained first-class merit, received different rewards because of their different identities, but the total value should not differ too far.

Zhu Zhanji also needs to be on guard, that is, the senior generals bully others and seize the rewards of their subordinates.

Other things are easy to talk about. In terms of money, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Even without these rewards, gift giving between superiors and subordinates is also normal.

But Zhu Zhanji will never allow the encroachment on the rewarded house, title, and women.

The women he prepared are mainly divided into three types. One is the beauties sent to him by the clan in the past few months. Unmarried soldiers.
