I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

"For the court, it is best not to use any system that is not beneficial to the people once it is abolished, otherwise it will easily cause public resentment and even lead to a bigger crisis."

Looking at the serious father, Zhu Zhangui understood that the other party was doing it for his own good, and was afraid that he would do something unfavorable to the court because he was young and energetic.

"Father, we have already discussed this matter, and we have a solution, otherwise, all the ministers would not have remained silent."

"any solution?"

Zhu Pangpang thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a solution.

After all, if slaves are not captured, then ordinary people will be required to do the work.

If the common people are not allowed to come, then these tasks will be delayed.

"Liberate the countryside and go to the cities to work!"

Zhu Zhangui smiled and said 8 words.

Walking out of the imperial case, helping his father to sit back on the chair, Zhu Zhangui explained to him.

"Regarding this issue, I have already discussed it with all my ministers."

"Slaves will run out one day."

"At that time, the world has been taken by us, so where should we go to catch slaves?"

"Even if there is no shortage in our generation, what will our future generations do in the future?"

"So I thought about finding an easy and permanent solution."

"After my discussion with all the ministers, I will change the idea of ​​emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business in the world, and change it to balance."

"Let the common people leave the land, leave the countryside, and go to cities that need labor to work and earn money."

"In order to make it easier for the common people to travel, the imperial court will also open the train to civilian use in the future to solve the travel problems of the common people."

"And the establishment of civilian telegraph bureaus in various places also brings convenience to the people in communication."

"In this way, the common people go out to work after the New Year, busy until the end of the year, and go home with the harvest of the year to reunite with their relatives."

"And their children don't need to worry about them, the school will take good care of them."

"The land at home can also be contracted and leased to other people, or directly leased to the local yamen, and the yamen will lease it to others."

"In this way, not only can they make money outside, but the land at home will not go to waste, and it can also bring in income."

What Zhu Zhangui proposed was the idea of ​​going out to work to make money in the 90s of his previous life.

He wanted Daming to reform and open up and accelerate the development of civilization.

But Daming is too big, and his energy is limited, so it is impossible to make everyone rich.

So he thought of a way to liberate rural areas to work in cities.

Just like in the 90s of his previous life, when the countryside did not go to the city to work, there were dirt roads everywhere, and even the houses were mud thatched huts.

But since the rise of migrant workers, foreign novelties have been brought back to the countryside, and ordinary people who have earned money have also begun to renovate their yards and build houses.

Zhu Zhangui was most impressed by one of his classmates.

According to what the classmate told him, when his parents separated from his grandmother, they got a few steamed buns and half a bag of grain.

At that time, the poor family almost starved to death.

After the reform and opening up, he could go out to work, and his father went out to work, and life at home became better little by little.

Therefore, it is said that a policy is formulated by the imperial court after countless considerations and calculations. Even if the original target is not achieved, it will still slightly improve people's livelihood.

"Is this reliable? The common people have planted it all their lives, and they will go out?"

After listening to his son's analysis, Zhu Pangpang remained suspicious.

"Father, let me give you an example!"

"For example, our family is not a royal family, but an ordinary family. There are only five acres of land in the family, half of which are inferior fields. The annual food production is barely enough for food and clothing."

"Later, I planted potatoes. Although I was able to eat enough, the family's son got married and became worried again."

"Because the bride price is too high, the income in the field is not enough for me and my brothers to marry."

"Even if you can manage to marry a daughter-in-law, once the family is divided, the few acres of land will not be able to support a family at all."

"At this time, you heard from the imperial court that if you go out to work, you can earn several times or even ten times the income of the grain field every year, and you don't have to travel as much as before, and you can contact your family at any time."

"Seeing that my brothers and I have reached the age to marry a wife, and no one has proposed a marriage until now, and we don't even have any decent clothes on us. Will you take us a few elders out to work and try our best. "

"Of course I will." Hearing Zhu Zhangui's comparison, Zhu Pangpang answered without even thinking about it.

After he finished speaking, he froze for a moment before shaking his head with a smile.

"Although I got caught by your kid, I have to say that this method is really good."

"It not only solves the problem of the development of the imperial court, but also solves the problem of the people's livelihood."

"But you have to think about it carefully. Once it is formulated, the annual expenditure of the imperial court may increase several times or even ten times."

Zhu Zhangui looked at Xia Yuanji, and the two laughed.

"Is there another way for you?"

Seeing the smiling faces of the two, Zhu Pangpang was stunned.

Is the court's ability to handle affairs so strong now? It has already started to take one step and three steps.

"Father, this is another policy that complements the migrant worker policy."

Zhu Pangpang urged with interest, "Tell me."

"The Supreme Emperor, let the minister speak."

Seeing that the emperor had been talking for so long, Xia Yuanji quickly stood up and took over the work that should have belonged to him as the Minister of the Household Department and the Crown Prince Taifu.

Zhu Pangpang saw him.

"When people go out to work, they naturally need a place to work."

"But if you want to enter the imperial court, you need to investigate. It can be said that it is very troublesome to come and go."

"Even if we relax the recruitment, we must send someone to take care of the recruited people. This will be another expense for the court."

"If things go on like this, even if the imperial court has mountains of gold and silver, it will be hollowed out."

"So we discussed it and made an important decision, that is, to authorize the part of the technology that the imperial court has that is no longer confidential to those merchants and aristocratic families."

"And support them to build factories and recruit ordinary people to work."

"In this way, the work of the common people will be settled, and the court will not have to bother to send people to manage it. We can just buy what we need. If the quality is not good, we can just refuse it."

"And we have to charge a certain patent fee every year for the technology we license, plus a series of things such as the procedures for setting up a factory, and the local area, etc., we can get back a sum of money every year."

"A factory may only get tens or even hundreds of taels of silver every year. This amount of money may not be much, but if there are thousands or even tens of thousands of factories."

"In this way, how much income can the court increase every year?"

"And what we pay is just some unimportant technologies, some land and some licenses."

"Clap clap clap..."

After listening to Xia Yuanji's explanation, Zhu Pangpang couldn't help clapping his hands. At the same time, he looked at Zhu Zhangui who was standing next to him with a smile, and said with emotion: "There are more talents in Jiangshan. The new generation is better than the old ones. See It is right for me to abdicate, I am old and old!"

Shaking his head, Zhu Pangpang stood up and waved his hands to the crowd who also got up quickly.

"Since you all have a strategy, I'm relieved. Let's talk. I'll go to Taimiao and tell the old man about the happy events that happened recently."

"I will send you off to the Supreme Emperor!"

While everyone was saluting, Zhu Pangpang hummed a ditty with his hands behind his back, walked out of the Shang Study Room to the Taimiao, and went to show off with his father and grandfather.

After watching his father leave, Zhu Zhangui asked Hu Yu to guard the door in person, not allowing anyone to approach, looked at Zhang Fu, who was the chief of staff of the Ministry of National Defense, and ordered in a cold voice:

"Send a report to the various armies!"

"The imperial court does not allow this kind of inhumane behavior. Let all the troops control the soldiers and not kill at will. Those who violate it will be severely punished!"

After Zhu Zhangui finished speaking, under the astonished expressions of several important ministers, he continued: "However, in order to strengthen local management, for those aliens who voluntarily surrendered, the imperial court allowed the front army to provide the proper organization and equipment, and they will maintain local law and order. Orders from the imperial court and the front army!"

Everyone was stunned.

The identity of the Ming Dynasty's official army cannot touch things like massacres.

After all, no matter how secretive things are, there are times when they are leaked. Once leaked, Daming's reputation will be completely stink.

But it would be different if these things were done by those Mingxie troops.

In this way, all the crimes are borne by the Ming Xiejun.

This way things are done, and the hatred of foreign races will be removed from Daming, and put on those Ming Xiejun who have done all the bad things.

As long as the Ming army maintains discipline, the resistance of those alien races will be minimized.

In the future, when they occupy the world, they can use these Ming Xie troops to buy the hearts of the people of other races.

After all, people hate traitors more than foreign enemies.

Dover, one of the British defensive positions.

"Jack, what's wrong with you?"

A soldier with a beard came to a young man and saw that the other party kept pouring wine into his mouth. His face was already flushed from drinking, and he frowned and snatched the other party's flagon.

"Give it to me, Tom!"

The young man named Jack snatched the hip flask and took another big gulp.

"What the hell happened?"

Seeing the other person's appearance like this, Tom felt a little puzzled, sat down, and asked softly, intending to enlighten this little brother.

"My father, my younger brother, and my elder brother all died. Just a while ago, they all died, and even the bodies were not found..."

Jack was silent for a while, tears flowed down his eyes, and painfully explained the reason.

Tom also fell silent when he heard this.

Since the war between the East and the West, in order to fight against the powerful Ming Dynasty, the western countries have almost compulsively recruited troops.

All men who could stand up and walk, from the age of 60 to the age of 16, were all drawn into the army.

The three Jack brothers, including his father, were forcibly drafted into the army.

If it wasn't for Jack's leg disability, which prevented him from marching quickly with the main force, he might have been incorporated into the front line and dragged to the place where the battle was most intense to die.

"I don't know how to comfort you, but think of your family, think of your mother."

"As a man, I think you should not cry and drink here now, but stand up bravely and carry this family."

"Carrying this home... Do I still have a home?"

Jack gave a wry smile, picked up the flagon and took another big gulp.

"My mother received the news, and now she is sick in bed and may leave at any time. I went to ask for leave, but that bastard John didn't allow me to leave."

"He said that the enemy will attack at any time, and no one is allowed to leave his post now."

"Fuck it..."

The more Jack spoke, the angrier he became, he stood up and threw the jug in his hand into the sea.

He staggered and turned around, pointing in the direction of the camp behind him, "John, you son of a bitch, you pissed me off, so I'm going to seek refuge with Daming!"

"Don't talk nonsense..."

Tom quickly covered Jack's mouth.

"You're crazy, you're going to seek refuge with Daming, but you're going to be hanged, and your father, your older brother, and your younger brother all died at the hands of Daming, don't you hate them?"

He knocked off Tom's hand fiercely, Jack's eyes were red, and he roared loudly:

"I hate, haha, compared to Daming, I hate this damn country even more."

"Why do we have to fight? Daming has already spread the news. As long as we surrender and join Daming, we can live a happy life and live the same life as the people of Daming..."

"But those damn nobles, those in power, they don't want to lose their rights and interests, they don't want to be dogs to Daming."

"For their rights and status interests, they forced innocent people like us to go to the battlefield to die, to block Daming's bullets and shells."
