Chongzhen Undergraduates

"This old slave pays homage to Lord Long Live!" Wang Chengen made a gesture to pay homage.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and see the boss!" Zhu Youjian waved his hand quickly, of course he knew what Wang Chengen was thinking.

Wang Chengen still followed the old rules, kneeling on the ground to kowtow to Zhu Cihong and his brothers.In the old man's heart, these three brothers are the only motivation for him to survive.

"Wang Gonggong, get up quickly." Now Zhu Cihong is no longer stupid. With his knowledge, he certainly knows who he can rely on most in Zhu Youjian's mind.If Liu Zongzhou came out now, he would definitely not think that Liu Zongzhou was the one who could be relied on.

"Have a banquet." Seeing that the old man Wang Chengen was crying, Zhu Youjian simply found something to do.

"Father, why do you call the battery I made a Watt battery? Shouldn't you call me by my name?" Zhu Cijiong ran to Zhu Youjian's side to protest with some dissatisfaction.

The watt battery is the originator of modern batteries and a pioneer in the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy.It makes it possible for humans to use electrical energy, but in fact its principle is very simple.

"Cijiong battery? It's ugly!" Zhu Youjian said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what the name is, what matters is that you made this thing, right!"

"Then when will the imperial court be able to set up long-distance wire communication? Our limited electric wave transmission has been successfully tested." Zhu Cijiong's self-confidence comes from the bottom of his heart, and he even looks down on the most flamboyant steam engine technology of the imperial court.

With batteries, wired communication is nothing new at all.Even without batteries, hand generators aren't exactly high tech.

But Zhu Youjian didn't disclose Daming's research on electricity in a daze.In Zhu Youjian's view, it is enough to have steam engine technology to guarantee 50 years of technological leadership, and there is no need to release new technologies so quickly.

Electricity, or hide it first.

"What I want is wireless communication. You have to spend a lot of money to buy wires for this thing, which is too expensive." Zhu Youjian pretended not to pay attention to Zhu Cijiong, but he was very angry with this kid.

To establish a complete electrical theory, this kid is still too immature, so he is only at the level of DIY.

Chapter 497: The New Deal Immigration Bureau of the Ming Dynasty

From history, the most successful record of nomadic defeating farming is only Genghis Khan.Most of the time, the farming civilization of the Central Plains can still withstand the northern nomads.

But industrial civilization is purely slapping agricultural civilization.Little Japan dared to swallow up a vast continent after completing industrialization, and almost succeeded.

The basis of industrialization is large-scale machine production. Using machines to replace traditional manpower has benefits that are dozens, even hundreds, or thousands of times that of humans.

The prerequisites for industrialization are two serious ones: technology and market.Many people always think that the backwardness of the Central Plains is only the backwardness of technology. As long as the technology catches up, they will definitely beat others.As everyone knows, if the technology of the Central Plains is only synchronized with that of Europe, it will face a war like the war between Britain and the Netherlands, or even a confrontation between Asia and Europe.

The industrialization of Europe was due to the vast market in the world, and the rise of Japanese industrialization was ultimately fed by the huge market of the mainland.

If Daming wants to quickly take the road of industrialization, Daming, which is in the budding state of industry, will even have greater demand for the market than for land.As long as there is enough market, the industrial scale will expand immediately.

However, we have seen in later generations that the consequence of the great industrial development is the stagnation of the population and even the reduction of the birth rate.

Just imagine, if the Central Plains civilization completed industrialization at the fastest speed during the Ming Dynasty, what kind of consequences would this race have?

The consequence is that I have confined my population to a base of [-]-[-] million.The consequences were dire, because the population of Europe had been growing and colonizing the New World to make room for the new European population.

Therefore, Daming needs to climb the technology tree now, but he cannot completely release the monster of industrialization.On the contrary, Daming should vigorously maintain the farming culture for a period of time, and should expand the demand for land.

Only with a large enough population base and a large enough territory can this race stand in an absolute dominant position.

Zhu Youjian blocked the application of electricity in Daming, but he didn't want to stop the discovery of electricity technology.

On the other hand, before the emergence of large-scale capital, national capital first appeared. This is Zhu Youjian's best way to control the economy.The current import and export trade of Ming Dynasty is still under the guidance of the imperial court.

Traditional domestic trade such as the salt industry has been withdrawn, and new trade has not grown rapidly. During this process, the country has been very stable, and there has been no gap between the rich and the poor.

Nanjing City.

After the emperor returned to Nanjing, winter had already arrived.However, when everyone was looking forward to good news in the new year, the imperial court promulgated a decree that stunned all the people. A term that has caused countless people to scold their mothers in recent decades woke up after a few years of slumber. Come over: Liao pay.

The first thing Zhu Youjian did after returning to Nanjing was to levy Liao's salary again, which caused public opinion to boil all of a sudden.The cabinet is silent, and the people are at a loss. Is the emperor going to faint again?

"Have you heard? The emperor is going to collect Liao's salary again, and the amount collected is actually the same as before. It's only been a few days of good life?! Oh, God is so pitiful." The people wailed.

"The war in Liaodong is not over yet, the emperor is eager to regain the lost ground, and we and the people will have to tighten their belts and live a few years of hard life."

"Not necessarily. I really want to hear that the imperial court has a rule that as long as people immigrate to Liaodong or Taiwan, not only the whole family can be exempted from the Liao pay, but also only need to pay half of the tax within ten years after arriving there. This is a great thing. "

"I've heard of Liaodong, but where is Taiwan?"

"Taiwan, I heard that it seems to be a big island overseas. There are a lot of miasma and savages on it, and it is very bitter."

"Your news is outdated. I heard that the island of Taiwan is covered with gold, and you can find a lump of gold just by digging. I also heard that the fields there are particularly good at growing crops. A family can divide hundreds of acres of good quality." What about the paddy field?"

"How can there be such a good place, you can brag."

"Whether you want to brag or not, go and have a look and you'll know. Anyway, the travel expenses are paid by the government, and you don't have to pay taxes for bragging. How nice it is."

After Zhu Youjian returned to Nanjing, he found that the total number of immigrants in Taiwan, where he had immigrated for almost two years, was less than 20.The people in the Central Plains are too content with the status quo. Many people would rather stay in poor homes with seven mountains, two rivers and one field, rather than find a way to venture out.

How to solve this problem?It can only be regulated by policy.There is no better way to force a man to leave his home than to make him unable to live where he was, and to give him a new hope.The Liao pay forced the people in northern Shaanxi to be unable to survive, but it did not give these people a new way of life, which caused the turmoil.

If the way Daming thought of governing the Northeast from the beginning was immigration and development, would there still be turmoil in the North?On the contrary, the immigration of the pagoda tree in the early Ming Dynasty was actually a very good policy for population planning, but it was too simple and rude.

"Master Shangshu, how should I arrange the immigration this time?" Zhang Huangyan, director of the Immigration Bureau of the new unit, followed Chen Zilong and asked.

"The ones north of the Yangtze River are arranged to go to Liaodong, and the ones south of the Yangtze River are arranged to go to Taiwan." Chen Zilong was so busy that he became a robot of the court. He couldn't eat or sleep all day long.

Li Yan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is responsible for grasping the big and letting go of the small, while Chen Zilong, the minister of the household department, has become the busiest person because of too many functional departments.Zhang Huangyan, Chen Bangyan, Song Yingsheng and other officials all helped him.The finance and taxation, industry, agriculture, commerce, transportation and shipping of the entire Ming Dynasty are almost all held by this department.In other words, before the reform of the Ming Dynasty, this guy was almost a cabinet minister.

But Zhu Youjian, who was supposed to be busy, is now hiding in the harem and eating shabu-shabu with Li Yan leisurely.

"How is it? Is this brushed mutton tasty enough?" Zhu Youjian held a large piece of thin mutton with chopsticks in one hand and scalded it in the pot, while clinking glasses with Li Yan with the other hand regardless of his appearance.

Li Yan had a glass of wine with the emperor happily, and then asked: "Sichuan people immigrated to Liaodong, can they really adapt? The winter in Liaodong is very cold."

"It's okay. I have a clever trick, which I promise will attract them." Zhu Youjian said.

"What's the best idea for the emperor?" Li Yan stopped his chopsticks and looked at Zhu Youjian to ask.

"The supply of chili and white wine is open. In winter, let these people stay at home to eat pot and drink. When they are drunk, they hug their daughter-in-law and make a man!" Zhu Youjian, the rogue emperor, said and gestured.

"Hahaha..." Li Yan laughed so hard that tears almost flowed out.

"Immigrating overseas should become a habit of the people looking for their dream of getting rich. If we tell the people to go to the New World now, few of them will be willing to go. And we don't have the security to immigrate to the New World now, so we first immigrate to Taiwan and Taiwan. The Northeast is regarded as a military training.

After ten years, no, not ten years.Five years later, after the early immigrants have reaped wealth, those who are already living in poverty in their hometown will desperately look for new dreams of getting rich.At that time, let alone the New World, they dare to go up even the moon. "Zhu Youjian described his new policy.

"The emperor wants to create a concept that people not only want to be full, but also want to get rich?" Li Yan thought.

"Yes, that's right. I didn't award honorable lands, nor a king. I think many generals must have thought that I was waiting for the recovery of the capital. Most people would think that the imperial court would award the reward after the recovery of the capital. But I don't think so Yes, and most people should not want to see this happen.

If the rewards continue, most people in Ming Dynasty will lose the opportunity to make a fortune, and the people can only pursue the lowest level of food and clothing.We must first create another way to make money.Just imagine, if there is a new, bigger and better place to make a fortune, will the generals still care about domestic rewards? "

Zhu Youjian spoke very softly, and he only dared to discuss such things with Li Yan.Rewards for meritorious service are issues that every leader must consider.And Zhu Youjian has never rewarded anyone except for rewarding some shares of the original noble family. If you don't get benefits, who will follow you?

Could it be that Zhu Youjian will learn from his ancestors and cut off all the meritorious people with one knife?Or shut them all in the cowshed?
