Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian also rescued tens of millions of refugees and resettled them in one place so that the refugees would never disrupt the normal order again.

Only after this biggest problem is solved can the people recover so quickly.

Later, the work-for-relief and payment of money to the homeless people gradually turned the original negative asset of the refugees into a positive asset.

……

Zhu Youjian's policy is to use large-scale infrastructure construction to drive large-scale development.

Although, the disaster year has not passed yet!

However, as long as this policy is implemented, China will only get better and better.

……

Zhu Youjian gave Zuo Liangyu a new goal-to go to the southern subcontinent to collect grain!

It’s a real granary there!

Zuo Liangyu's body recovered very well, and he even accompanied Zhu Youjian on a hunting trip a few days ago.

When he learned that the emperor was going to let him go further south...

After learning that food is everywhere in that place...

Zuo Liangyu set off immediately!

Lao Zuo moved very neatly, and even petitioned the emperor on the spot, asking him to send someone to govern Guangdong and Guangxi——

Those local officials who are greedy and unkind, Lao Zuo wants to make black gloves again, and they are all in trouble...

Because the emperor made a promise that half of the money earned would belong to Zuo Liangyu...

……

The problem of food shortage in Ming Dynasty is about to be solved!

Now that this biggest shackle has disappeared, Zhu Youjian is ready to use the big killer weapon of encouraging industry.

He did this for a reason:

In later generations, there is an issue that few people have touched upon - the role of farmers in promoting prosperity after liberalization in the last century.

You must know that it is the decentralization of power in just a few decades!

Countless farmers have devoted themselves to industry, opened factories and mines, and worked as screws in factories, becoming the main force in the economic development...

Under their promotion, Huaxia quickly grew into a force that shocked the whole world.

These factories have become the leaders of Chinese manufacturing in the global market.

The West relied on hundreds of years of bloody plunder to build its foundation. China caught up and even surpassed it in just a few decades!

What Professor Wen Tiejun said——

Where do we have any bloody plunder?

What is our starting capital?

farmers!

I think back then, three or two families would form a partnership and put together the sewing machines at home to form a factory.

Three or five people, armed with pickaxes, set up mines one after another.

Three or five families, armed with axes and chisels, became furniture factories.

……

Wait until you make money, then invest in it!

In the end, half of the world's clothing was produced in China.

Half of the world's ceramics are produced in China...

……

In just a few decades, we have caught up with what others achieved in three to four hundred years!

What you rely on is not that you are not allowed to do this, and you are not allowed to do that!

……

Yuan Tianzun and Professor Wen deserve this sentence - the five grains are the lifeblood of all people and the most important treasure of the country!

Zhu Youjian believes that as long as the law is established, let them do it!

The hard-working Chinese people will bloom with power that will make the world tremble!

……

Of course, due to the limitations of private power, it is difficult to create high-tech industries in the short term.

but……

Everything must first be done to keep the people fed and clothed!

If you ignore this and pretend to be empty, you are just acting like a hooligan!

The most effective policy is to find ways to keep people fed and clothed.

……

Zhu Youjian said seriously:

"This is calculated by the internal supervisor, Mr. Fan, take a closer look."

Fan Jingwen looked at the statistics on the paper. Last month alone, more than 100 small workshops of various types were completed and put into operation.

Although most of them are concentrated in the secondary processing of textiles and sugar, even a small half are in the clothing, hats and footwear industry...

However, when I think about the scene of refugees everywhere when I first came to Handu, I don’t know how much better it is!

Fan Jingwen thought about it carefully and said:

“I dare to ask Your Majesty, if we are liberalized, we will naturally face the problem of fewer farmers.

By then, what will happen if the state’s tax revenue is insufficient? "

Fan Jingwen is the famous "Second Master of Books".

After he entered the cabinet, he posted six big characters on his door - "No instructions, no feedback."

The upright people in the court composed a couplet based on Fan Jingwen's diligent and honest administration.

The first couplet is:

"You can let go if you are not told, or given, if you are selfless in your heart."

The second line is:

"Work diligently for the country and the people. If there is a drum in front of the government office, you will know."

This is an upright minister who practices what he does.

With a worried look on his face, Fan Jingwen bowed down and bowed, his words filled with exhortation:

"Your Majesty, although Eunuch Fang made money back from Jiangnan.

However, this is not the norm after all.

Agricultural taxation has always been the cornerstone of the court's stability!

The old minister can understand His Majesty’s thoughts today. This is a great favor that saves hundreds of millions of lives!

However, as the center of the imperial court, you should consider the long term. Your Majesty should look to the future! "

Zhu Youjian smiled:

"Did Mr. Fan forget the Song Dynasty in the past?"

“My government placed emphasis on agriculture and neglected commerce, and it became increasingly difficult to finance the state.

In the former Song Dynasty, farmers and merchants were both prosperous. Even though there were constant wars in the two Song dynasties for three hundred years, the state treasury was never short of funds. "

Zhu Youjian waved Fan Jingwen to get up and said:

"To encourage people to do business, I will naturally collect taxes."

“I decided to establish a Department of Commerce to specialize in business planning and taxation.

The Department of Taxation was established to review all national taxes and detect illegal activities.

The former is in charge of legislation and standardizing business practices; the latter is only in charge of tax audit and verification affairs.

As long as you have these two things.

The people are happy to do business, and the problem of large-scale transformation of farmers will not only not affect national taxes or restrict the court, but will become the locomotive of the Ming Dynasty! "

Zhu Youjian laughed.

"Mr. Fan, have the Qing family ever seen Wang Qing's train?

In the past, even the four-wheeled carriages that could only be used in the northern part of the canal could only haul more than a thousand kilograms of cargo.

Today, only one locomotive can drag a load of ten thousand kilograms!

Technology is progressing!

Fan Qing thought about it, given time, as long as this new type of machinery can be used in large quantities.

Once the technology matured, the slow farming of cattle and horses was replaced.

By then, will it become the norm for one man to rule a hundred fields?

Do you know why I insisted on allocating land to only the first batch of refugees, or only a tiny amount of two acres per capita?

I have just calculated this step!

The output of the land is only enough for one person to support three people.

Even if there are hundreds of millions of farmers, they cannot support half of the people who are out of work.

The income from trade is a hundred times that of farmers!

Freeing the people from the cultivated land is my purpose! "

Zhu Youjian patted Fan Jingwen on the shoulder:

"The world is very big. Fan Laoke once knew that there is a country overseas with gold everywhere.

I released the people just to get these gold and silver back.

This is what I should do most! "

“As the saying goes: Forge swords into plowshares.

What solution?

If you don't use the forged swords to seize farmland, you are committing a crime!
