I will hold high the dragon flag in the world of the heavens

Chapter 58: Action to Exterminate Confucianism ([-])

The capital, the new army camp.

Holding a loudspeaker, an instructor of the Dragon Warriors is educating the soldiers of the new army every day.

"Brothers, what are we fighting for?"

"For Daming, for ourselves!"

"Brothers, what kind of army are we?"

"The troops of the common people of Ming Dynasty!"

"What kind of team are we?"

"We are a team of planing food in the ground."

"Everyone recite our military song!"

"..."

"Come on, everyone is singing the next song:..."

The officer's camp not far away!

Lu Xiangsheng carefully looked at the latest book "The Essence of the World" printed by Daming Weekly.

Sun Chuanting next to him was reading "Relationship between the State and the People", which had not been published on a large scale.

Cao Wenzhao is also watching "Glory of the Soldiers". Next to him is a copy of "Friends of Military and Civilian Talents".

In the barracks, there was only the sound of flipping through books, until Sun Chuanting sighed: "The country, the people, the more you read, the more you sigh!"

"Brother Jiandou (Lu Xiangsheng), after reading these books, I realized how small and narrow I am. What I have learned, seen, and confused in my life before, I finally got the answer from these books!"

"Bo Ya (Sun Chuanting), I also feel the same way! It's just that the capital of Ming Dynasty has not been peaceful recently."

Cao Wenzhao ignored the two polite officials: "They are both clowns, not worth mentioning!"

Sun Chuanting frowned: "These people have deep roots and are too powerful!"

Cao Wenzhao rolled his eyes: "Tch, can it be as powerful as the outside world?"

The singing outside is loud and clear: "Battle..."

The singing is very loud and the morale is high!
Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng were silent for a moment!

Lu Xiangsheng took a sip of tea: "Two days ago Poluhou wrote us a letter, saying that he would give us an uncle, but unfortunately it is an honorary title, and we need to turn over our too much land!"

……

Beijing, a place of fireworks.

Several literati drank flowers and wine: "Order Enke to appease the scholars? Hehe, our emperor has really figured out what the literati of Ming Dynasty are thinking. Don't they see the danger behind it?"

"Hey, it's all the work of Poluhou Hou behind the scenes, how can our emperor be so smart!"

"The princes in the court have been divided a lot, and everyone dare not refute the imperial decree."

"Brother Wentai, don't make any noise, the investigation will be strict."

"Humph!"

The civil servant didn't dare to complain immediately, but just kept drinking.

After a while, he was addicted to the fat and creaminess again!

The princes of the Ming Dynasty Hall complained a lot about the orders issued by Emperor Chongzhen many times.

But they dare not make mistakes.

Wei Zhongxian's dog is too hateful.

The blood of Fu Wang and hereditary nobles and generals has not yet cooled.

Countless corpses reminded them that this Emperor Chongzhen would never be easy to mess with!

No, it should be that the mysterious heavenly soldiers behind them are not easy to mess with.

Forget it, although Emperor Chongzhen played the piano indiscriminately, their life will be a little bit harder, but life can still pass.

We are not worried!
We are not afraid!
Anyway, Daming cannot lack scholars to maintain the rule.

The magnificent reform of the government was temporarily suppressed due to the bloody suppression and the emperor's large amount of krypton gold.

But the anger of the civil servants, scholars and gentry in the court is still in the backlog!

The Daming Weekly newspaper repeatedly mentioned the dirty things of the gentry, which made them feel uneasy!

But they still chose to pretend to be ostriches.

Daming cannot do without them, these are just the pains of innovation!
They anesthetize themselves so much!

Time just gritted his teeth, endured it, and spent most of the year lying on his knees.

The first year of Chongzhen passed away like a tide.

Spring comes quietly, and March of the second year of Chongzhen comes quietly!
During the nine months, there were no major problems in the Ming Dynasty.

Although many corrupt officials were seized, the heads of hundreds of civil officials were beheaded, and hundreds of criminal officials were planned to be exiled to the New World to assist the vassal king in opening up wasteland.

However, major problems such as riots in various places and the fleeing of the people did not happen.

On the contrary, the decaying dynasty is rejuvenating vigorously.

In nine months, 150 million people moved to Liaodong through official procedures and started reclamation work.

Two million people chose to migrate on foot, or immigrate to Liaodong by borrowing money and chartering boats.

Among them, the northern Zhili and Ludi people are the majority.

They were the closest to Liaodong, and they had no land, so they were very enthusiastic when they learned that they would open up wasteland and give away the land.

The Ming Dynasty borrowed money and rented ships to relocate, which was actually initiated by the Ming government. The borrowed tolls and other materials will be under the unified jurisdiction of the new Ming army.

They pay back the rent and interest after three years.

The interest is only 30.00% of the toll.

Compared with the high profits that come out of nine out of seventeen, this is completely a charity industry!

Millions of people have arrived in Liaodong, and the pressure on food is naturally great!
But all the maritime merchants in Ming Dynasty participated in the grain transportation operation!

All over the world, as long as there is grain, there are Ming maritime merchants waving banknotes.

The reason why they are so crazy is that apart from the fact that the imperial court supports maritime merchants, there is also the imperial decree issued in July of the first year of Chongzhen: merchants can exchange grain for land in Liaodong.

The status of merchants in the Ming Dynasty was low, and there was even less land available to them justifiably.

Daming suddenly opened up a new policy, as long as they can bring eight stones of grain from other places, or use their own grain, they can exchange for one mu of land.

You must know that at this time, 15 taels of silver can only be exchanged for one mu of land, and it is still all in the field.

Although the land belongs to the Ming government, merchants can obtain the land in a legitimate way.

Although there is only a 50-year lease period, the Daming Weekly and the land lease agreement clearly state that businessmen can continue to enjoy the farming rights of farmers after 50 years.

Although they only have the right to cultivate and build, and when minerals and rare resources appear, the Ming Dynasty will reclaim the land at market prices, but they are already very satisfied.

This is a great gift!
The merchants of Ming Dynasty can finally stand up!

The penny-pinching merchants went crazy for the land.

They transported the backlog of grain to places where grain was needed, and a large amount of grain eased the food crisis of the people of Ming Dynasty.

Coupled with various policies, Daming finally did not have a large number of disaster victims.

……

Kyoto, Xishan, a small courtyard somewhere!

More than 50 people sat at the table and held a meeting.

Chen Mu is in the first place, and Chen Aiguo is in the second place: "The farming and immigration plan is progressing fairly smoothly. It took the Ming Dynasty a year to move more than 500 million people smoothly. Chongzhen can lead the people to move to the New World in three years to explore the way. "

"The feudal lords and criminals in Liaodong have been reformed very well these days. They are very honest!"

"Several shipyards such as Jinmen Shipbuilding and Liaodong are expected to start production in June this year."

Bian Zhuang reported the news: "The 20 new army has already formed an army! They are all good families from landless land, and they have done a good job in ideological education. The 40 frontier army has been paid enough in silver, and their psychological state and morale have adjusted quickly. .But the troops we can control are still 20 new troops.”

"Xishan workers are also receiving training. At critical moments, 3 new troops can be trained. There is no problem with border security."

Li Miao supported his glasses and said wearily: "The engine in the industrial zone is finished. The steam train is under construction, and the railway can also be built, but we are in danger of shortage of labor and food."

"Commercial banks have already laid out rich lands through seizures and acquisitions, but the enthusiasm of the people of Ming Dynasty is not high. We need a radical savings plan."

"We need a big construction, and we need enough labor!"

"In Annan, Nanyang and other places, we purchased food on a large scale, and the quality of life of the people there is getting worse and worse. We can implement the follow-up railway construction plan."

"Hey, I don't know how many people will die in those places! I agree with the accelerated labor construction plan."

Industrial transformation is difficult and full of blood and corpses.

They purchased food, and although they helped the people of Ming Dynasty, the foreign lands in the south fell into a food shortage.

Buying their food, letting them fall into a food shortage, and Daming recruiting a large number of laborers through recruitment, this is a series of tricks.

In the later stage, these workers will pay countless blood and sweat for the construction of Daming!

But they are not from Daming, so ignore them!

"The people who migrated to Liaodong have already taken root. The Jurchens are also very good at building roads, but there are more than [-] young and strong with serious physical problems, and their radiation sequelae are very serious."

"I can't control this!"

"The planting and cultivation of sweet potatoes is very smooth. In three years in Chongzhen, it is estimated that 3000 million mu of land will be planted with sweet potatoes."

Thank you sweet potato for this food artifact.

As the Ming Dynasty spared no effort to promote it, millions of mu of sweet potatoes were produced in the first year of Chongzhen.

After spring, it has doubled more than 30 times.The number of sweet potatoes planted this year will increase.

The production of sweet potatoes has increased, and it is a pity for the people of Ming Dynasty that the exchange price of sweet potato varieties has dropped to five hundred cash per stone.

"Spain and Portugal brought a large number of improved potato varieties, and [-] mu have been planted. But these improved varieties will take more than two years to develop."

"Winter wheat and other grain seeds are also being cultivated, but the speed is not fast!"

"In the second year of Chongzhen, we still focused on developing and educating the new army. The army is everything. As long as we control the army, we can fully implement our plan!"

"agree!"

The meeting was held for a while, and various miscellaneous things were confirmed.

After the end, Mu Siyue coughed: "There is an important piece of information, please watch this video."

A video quickly played on the tablet.

The protagonists are Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youjian, and Zhu Chunchen.

Zhu Chunchen said slowly: "Your Majesty, after countless investigations, we have identified the feces, food and clothing of those heavenly soldiers. We can be sure that they are ordinary mortals."

Chongzhen was silent!

"The emperor is the son of Ming Dynasty. The whole Ming Dynasty belongs to you. You are treated with contempt by those people all day long. The servants and others are heartbroken!"

"I know, but they are too tough!"

"Your Majesty, this..."

The video playback has ended.

Mu Siyue sighed: "Zhu Youjian contacted Wei Zhongxian, and recently Zhu Chunchen also contacted Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Cao Wenzhao and Man Gui!"
