Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

And the food from the agricultural tax is continuously transported from all over the country to the capital every year. Although it consumes a huge part of it every year under various major policies, under the current fiscal and land reform, the income is also increasing. Many, Daheng can barely say that the family has more than enough money.

It is also obvious that as long as the grassland cannot be included in the ruling system, the grassland will always be a threat.

Daheng Wuxun's attitude towards the grassland is to weaken the differentiation, wait for the decisive opportunity, and then do his best in one battle, just like every prosperous era in history, thoroughly plowing the court and sweeping the hole, sealing the wolf to live in the Xuxu!

Although the emperor agrees with this point, the emperor is more inclined to...

If one day, a track can go directly from Daheng to the hinterland of the grassland, and a steam train can go directly from Daheng to the grassland in just a few days.

Then whatever the problem was, it wouldn't be a problem anymore.

The greatest expectation in the emperor's heart is nothing more than this.

Therefore, in recent years, whether it is for the northwest or for the grasslands, they have all followed Daheng's civil and military decisions. The emperor has almost never intervened, but has only slowly planned it, waiting for the so-called decisive opportunity.

And this decisive opportunity, if viewed in terms of the strategic situation, is naturally weakened to a certain extent by the grassland and the northwest, which is the opportunity for the decisive victory that Wu Xun imagined.

But in the mind of the emperor, this decisive opportunity is the innovation of productivity!

The decisive opportunity of the military strategist lies in the war itself, which is only a palliative technique, and the decisive opportunity brought about by the innovation of productivity is the dimensionality reduction strike, which means that after destroying the remnant grassland, you can try to fight the war that has not been done since ancient times. Some completely bring the grassland under the rule, which is a complete cure!

Chapter 666 The Development of New Learning

Therefore, when the prairie is in turmoil, Daheng's war machine is turning.

The Son of Heaven did not pay too much attention to the grassland warfare. Instead, he once again visited the Daheng Academy of Engineering and paid attention to the progress of new studies and research of the Academy of Engineering over the years...

In the eighth year of Zhaowu, counting from the year when the engineering department of the martial arts academy was established, this engineering academy has been established for more than ten years in this world.

In more than ten years, the seeds sowed by the emperor have now sprouted and grown, and the existence of the new learning is no longer as general as it was back then, and the veins and supports in it have also become full and systematic!

The chemistry, physics, mathematics, biomedicine, geography, astronomy and other subjects of later generations also exist in the form of Daheng in today's Daheng.

For example, mathematics is called arithmetic in Daheng, and its application has reached an extremely extensive level in Daheng today.

The Taxation Department, the Municipal Shipping Department, the Statistics Department of the Ministry of Households, the Department of Household Registration, the Engineering Department of the Ministry of Industry, etc., a considerable number of functional institutions of the imperial court, under the policy of employing people assigned by the emperor to handle special tasks, the talent for counting is also subject to unprecedented pressure. attention.

In the commercial field, this emphasis is even more prominent. Just like Daheng Bank, the number of account books that needs to be counted every day is an astronomical number, and each number must be accurate and perfect.

This is also doomed, whether it is the management staff or the accountant staff, they must be proficient in arithmetic in order to fully operate this system.

Such ubiquity, coupled with the attention of the imperial court and the cutting-edge theoretical research of Daheng Academy of Engineering, the development of arithmetic is rapid in Daheng.

For example, astronomy is established based on the Qin Tianjian system, so it is also called the Qin Tian Science, the master calendar, astrology, climate, etc., and the continuous natural disasters today have pushed this subject to an extreme level. Important position.

In ancient celestial phenomena, people were often blamed, such as the lack of virtue of the emperor, or the guilt of the courtiers, etc., but today the emperor obviously does not believe this.

The functions of Qin Tianjian are also concretized and clarified accordingly. In this way, the soil foundation of Qin Tian's learning is also formed!

Biomedicine is mainly based on the system of traditional Chinese medicine.

Chinese medicine in this era has a vast environment, especially in this era, there is still martial arts, and the existence of Chinese medicine, with the help of martial arts, has reached an extremely mysterious level.

What the Son of Heaven did was to standardize the TCM system, such as establishing a medical school and systematically training physicians.

The so-called people gather firewood, and when the medical system is standardized, the wisdom of top national players will collide, and Chinese medicine will naturally move towards a more prosperous direction.

Chemistry, on the other hand, mainly relies on the ordnance system. It is worth mentioning that, because of its main research and experimentation, chemistry is quite similar to alchemists alchemy since ancient times, so it has made a lot of noise in Daheng.

At that time, under the situation of the sky, the emperor liked alchemists to make alchemy, seek immortality, etc., and it was widely spread all over the world. Later, the emperor personally named it "Chemistry". With the passage of time, the mystery of chemistry was slowly revealed. The hustle and bustle slowly dissipated.

Physics, on the other hand, is called "Gewu Zhizhi" or "Gewu Zhizhi", and it is also the fundamental purpose of physics.

The systematic new studies are also collectively referred to as the study of nature, which means that people follow nature.

The systematic new learning and the guidance of the emperor have brought about the vigorous development of new learning and the rapid progress of various researches in these years.

For example, the steam engine has already been put into practical use. Although it is still flashy, it can be said that it has taken the most critical step just to put it into practical use. It can be seen in the capital and Shuntian Prefecture, major mines, and water conservancy facilities. Roaring steam engine.

It’s also like the replacement of ordnance, from the ancient matchlock guns, to the flintlock guns, and then to the custom-mounted flintlock guns, such as artillery, the red cannons in the late Ming Dynasty, and now they have been updated several times...

Of course, the most important thing is to systematize the specifications of the weapon system. In the past, whether it was the production of firearms or the deployment of gunpowder, there was no basis for judging.

But nowadays, the research and development of ordnance, the deployment of gunpowder, etc., are all completely systematized. According to data comparison and scientific basis, this point seems to be a leap forward.

And these are only the result of the guidance of the will of the emperor, and the people, especially in Shuntian Prefecture, the land at the foot of the imperial city in Beizhili, are most affected by the thinking of new learning, and the ideas of production innovation among the people also sprouted. .

Just like the textile machine, there was a folk craftsman who developed the flying shuttle textile machine. He took it out during the annual civil examination of the Academy of Engineering, and won the leader in the final exam of the Academy of Engineering. The shuttle loom was changed to a hydraulic loom.

The emergence of hydraulic textile machines was a sensation, changing the manual operation to hydraulic power, which almost completely revolutionized the production mode of the textile industry.

And with the adoption of hydraulic looms by textile mills around the world, the price of cotton spinning has fallen off a cliff!

When an item related to the people's livelihood in the world is of high quality and low price, its significance to the whole world is obviously beyond doubt.

You must know that in this era, for the vast majority of people, it is not uncommon to find a single piece of clothing. It is not uncommon for many families to be unclothed. It is not uncommon for many people to have enough food to eat. .

Since the establishment of Daheng, the policy that the imperial court has persisted for the longest is the policy of regulation, that is, to regulate the prices of materials related to people's livelihood in the market, so that they can be kept in a price range that is close to the people for a long time.

But this is obviously difficult, just like food. In the past few years, when the reforms were not thoroughly implemented, the food "produced" by the whole world was far from enough to supply the people all over the world.

In this way, it is obviously difficult to control the price. Until now, the reform has been thoroughly implemented, and the output of the land has barely reached a balance, and there is even a surplus.

But this is just food, such as coal, the output is extremely limited, but the demand...

The winter in the north is bitingly cold, and every household has needs.

The high production cost, limited output, and huge demand doomed the price to be high. In order to regulate the price of coal, the subsidy currency invested by the imperial court every year started with several 10 taels of silver.

But like the hydraulic textile machine, the innovation of the production method is obviously a good thing for all aspects of this world.

Merchants have benefited, the people have benefited, the court has been relaxed, and taxation has increased...

Productivity innovation, as far as it is concerned, is almost a matter of no harm!

Chapter 667 Development

If you look at the world, Xinxue may be just a small sapling, and the environment is still changing extremely slowly.

But if you only look at the piece of land at the foot of the imperial city, Xinxue is already extremely prosperous.

Even, the embryonic form of the first industrial revolution in the history of later generations has sprouted in this land!

After all, in the history of later generations, the first industrial revolution was marked by the application of steam engines and textile machines!

And in the land of several prefectures at the foot of the capital, whether it is steam engines or textile machines, with the support of policies, they have all been put into large-scale applications.

Although there are also reasons for policy support, the market's choice also accounts for a very high proportion.

If we use the definition of the first industrial revolution by later generations, it can be said that Daheng has half a foot into the industrial revolution.

The reason why we say that we have entered the industrial revolution with half a foot is naturally because of the deformity of the market, that is, the general environment of thought has yet to be changed, and if there is no policy support, we can still maintain a good demand for market productivity, which is considered a complete step. into the Industrial Revolution.

But in today's Daheng, strictly speaking, most of these are supported by the emperor's almost self-willed support, which is obviously extremely abnormal.

Only when, without the emperor's deliberate support, the general environment has accepted all these things, and even welcomed them all, then the emperor's transformation of the world can be regarded as a real success.

And this point, even after so many years, the progress is still extremely slow, and it is still a subtle process.

The emperor returned to the palace again after he made a tour of the Academy of Engineering and gained a detailed understanding of the development of new studies and the research progress of the Academy of Engineering.

The turmoil in the grassland is obviously not a temporary achievement. It will be difficult for too much useful information to be transmitted to the capital center in a short time. Sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman, unless it is a last resort, obviously he will not participate in the war.

Therefore, whether it is the emperor or the civil and military ministers, although they value the changes in the grassland, as long as there is no real war for a day, Daheng's focus will still be on internal affairs!

By the eighth year of Zhaowu, Daheng's fiscal, taxation and land reform had reached its seventh year. The overall order framework had already been formed, and the in-depth and meticulous implementation had already been carried out to the end. The rest was persistence as always.

With this insistence, Daheng's fiscal and tax revenue has jumped almost every year in these years. The growth of this fiscal and tax revenue is also the fundamental support of Daheng's major policies of so many countries in these years.

For example, the migration policy has been started for several years. Up to now, nearly 50 people have been migrated to Liao Province. In addition, the various assistance policies formulated by the imperial court for Liao Province in these years.

For example, migrating people, no matter whether they are officially organized or privately migrated, the government will distribute land, farm tools, grain seeds, and material subsidies for the previous year, and they will be exempted from agricultural tax and corvee labor for the first three years.

And Daheng Tianxia's unique fertility reward policy, as long as the people of Liao Province have more children, regardless of gender, they will be given money and food subsidies every year until they are 14 years old.

With the support of various policies, the population of Liao Province has grown from less than 30 at the beginning to nearly 150 million in just a few years.

Strictly speaking, Liao Province is the real foundation of Daheng. After the Jin Dynasty was pacified, hundreds of thousands of troops slaughtered Liao Province for nearly a year, breaking all the order in Liao Province, and it started directly. The order of fiscal land reform.

A solid foundation means that the order is stable. Looking at the Daheng world, it can also be said that it is a province that has implemented the reform and order most thoroughly.

Liao Province is surrounded by mountains and the sea. Apart from the cold weather, as long as it is properly developed, it can be regarded as fertile as any place in the world's granary. In addition, the special terrain of being surrounded by mountains and sea, under the condition of today's developed sea transportation, Business is also quite prosperous.

In this way, the only shortcoming of population is slowly being filled, which brings about the comprehensive development of agriculture and commerce, which seems to be driven by becoming an important granary in the north and a major taxation province.

This point, for the benefits of Daheng, is self-evident.

After all, the wealth of the world has long been transferred to the south, but the capital of Daheng is in the north, and Liao Province...whether by land or sea, it is not far from the capital!

The development of Liao Province, for Daheng, seems to be related to the foundation of the country!

As for the richness of Liao Province, there is another point, which is also very important, that is, it can better radiate North Korea, strengthen the imperial court's control over North Korea, and make North Korea better and faster included in the ruling order of Daheng.

Since the pacification of the Jin Dynasty, North Korea has been incorporated into the Daheng ruling system from the vassal state. The naturalization of the North Korean land can be said to be a long and difficult road!

Even though North Korea back then had experienced repeated cleansing and devastation by Houjin and Liaozhen, North Korea had been influenced by Ming for hundreds of years, and it blossomed in all aspects of Ming, almost a small Ming.

With such a deep influence, in the face of Daheng, the suzerain country that usurped the Ming Dynasty, and directly annexed North Korea!

The backlash and resistance from all sides is completely conceivable.

Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything. Cultural recognition brings resistance, but it also saves the long process of assimilation.

As long as the diehards, or those with vested interests in North Korea in the past, are eliminated, the stability of North Korea will be within reach.

Therefore, after Daheng pacified North Korea, Zhou Yuji took the honor of the Duke of Daheng and sat in North Korea. Although he was demoted, the power and influence of the Duke still remained.

Sitting in North Korea for several years, he established Daheng's ruling system over North Korea, carried out land and taxation reforms on North Korea, and at the same time personally led the army to wipe out the remnants of North Korea.

It can be said that it has created a very perfect foundation for Daheng to rule North Korea. The successor, Xiao Gui, Cao Sui, while waiting for the development of Liao Province, is eroded by the influence of various aspects of commercial and agricultural culture. Naturally, North Korea has become a stable country. place.

Of course, no matter how good the prediction is, there will inevitably be countless difficulties and obstacles when it is implemented. North Korea has naturally caused a lot of turmoil in recent years.

However, compared to the great troubles in the northern grasslands and the remnants in Daheng, the chaos in North Korea is really nothing to mention.

The emperor didn't pay much attention to it, and the center of gravity of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty was not in North Korea. Strictly speaking, North Korea was just a product of the development of Liao Province.

The role of North Korea, in this era, the sense of existence is really insufficient.

After all, North Korea's neighbor is the country of Wa, and the country of Wa... the current country of Wa is obviously unable to spy on North Korea, or even the world of China.

But today's Daheng, regardless of whether it is the south or the north, or the country of Wa, is obviously ranked in the last sequence.

Even if one day, Daheng also has thoughts about the Wa country, the biggest possibility is that it is the same as taking North Korea, which is a product of the expansion of national power...

……

Chapter 668 The Prosperity of the Prosperity

And it has lasted for many years, and it will continue for many years. Compared with the huge scale implemented at the beginning, after these years of land reform, fiscal and taxation reform, imperial relief, migration policy and other policy management After all down.

Up to now, the number of disaster-stricken people in Daheng has shrunk from tens of millions back then to less than 300 million. reduce.

After all, the strategy of relocation is complementary to the strategy of providing relief with work. When the project is completed and the local people cannot afford enough people, then relocation will be planned.

After the corresponding project is completed, the victims who have exceeded the load of the local land will start to migrate, and then there will be perfect roads and water conservancy facilities in a place, and in this place, most of the people will be relocated. Even though the natural disasters continue, It is also enough to make the rest of the local people live.

When the natural disasters dissipate, the perfect water conservancy facilities and road traffic will be enough to instantly complete the transition from poverty to prosperity in the local area, and the land carrying capacity restricted by natural disasters will inevitably be released!

Daheng's work-for-relief and relocation strategies are working in conjunction with each other in major disaster areas. When the natural disasters dissipate, when the special policy order of this special period will come to an end.

But in fact, until the eighth year of Zhaowu, the natural disaster has not dissipated in the slightest, on the contrary, it has become more serious and spread!

And this eighth year of Zhaowu, in history, also happened to be the time when the Ming Dynasty was about to fall, and it was also the beginning of natural and man-made disasters that completely swept the world in history.

The only good thing is that the existence of Daheng fundamentally put an end to the tragic man-made disaster that swept the whole world in history and lasted for decades.

Moreover, with the stable order of Daheng, the great epidemic in history, which can be said to be thousands of miles north and south, stretching beyond the Great Wall in the north and the Yellow River in the south, with ten rooms and one escaped, has also been completely prevented before it happens!

Even though the drought in the north continued and the ice and snow disasters in the south emerged, under the powerful relief measures of the imperial court, the adverse effects were suppressed to the lowest point, and there would never be a cruel scene of starvation for thousands of miles.

It is obvious that Daheng's work-for-relief policy will continue for a long time. As long as the natural disasters do not dissipate, work-for-relief will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Therefore, the migration policy still needs to continue.

This is no longer about the necessity of engineering, but about the necessity of disaster relief!

Just like today's Daheng, until the eighth year of Zhaowu, most of the projects planned, such as dredging of rivers in various places, water conservancy repairs, and road construction, have almost been completed.

But natural disasters still exist, and so do the victims. Relief with work, even if there is no big project, it can't stop!

Therefore, the most popular business in Daheng North is cement.

Cement factories, big and small, have almost opened up in every prefecture in Daheng with the work-for-relief everywhere!

Today, in the world of Daheng, road construction can be seen everywhere!

Especially in the northern provinces, all major traffic roads in various places are going to be repaired into concrete roads.

Of course, it seems that the amount of engineering is huge, but in fact, it is not too large. After all, today's official roads refer to the connecting roads between major cities, and the main traffic routes refer to the important cities in various places. , or military powerhouses, or the connection between economic powerhouses.
