I am the king of the dead

Yu Qian nodded, and said very confidently: "Forty thousand miles of water."

Chapter 376 The Policy of Subjugation, the Minister of Subjugation, and the King of Subjugation

"It's too long." Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "Yu Shaobao, it's really too long."

The dredging of [-] miles of waterways is not a simple number.

On paper, it is only [-] miles away, but in reality, it is dangerous shoals, natural moats, hidden reefs buried under the water, and the nightmare of countless people in Ming Dynasty.

How much people will be recruited to do this?

But Yu Qian argued with reason: "Isn't the purpose of His Majesty setting up the Songjiang Shipping Department to open up the Yangtze River waterway and benefit the people along the river?"

"I think it is feasible. From Chongqing to Songjiang, from Guizhou to Nanzhili, after this waterway is completely connected, how many merchant ships can go from west to east to Songjiang City Shipping Department?"

"Your Majesty, it's only [-] miles!"

Zhu Qiyu still shook his head, [-] miles is still too long, he wants to revitalize the economy along the river, and the communication is true.

However, the [-]-mile waterway could easily become Yang Guang's mobilization of people to build large-scale construction projects, it could easily become the Yuan Dynasty's mobilization of people to dredge the Yellow River, and it could easily become a reminder for Ming Dynasty.

Yu Qian stood up abruptly, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have another memorial."

Yu Qian took out another book of memorials, Zhu Qiyu opened it and read it carefully, and let out a foul breath.

He was full of emotion, this is Yu Qian's complete version of the dredging of the Yangtze River system, this is the reminder!

With Chongqing Prefecture as the distribution center, the main stream of the Yangtze River, Dadu River, Tuojiang River, Fujiang River, Qujiang River, Wujiang River, Jialing River, Chishui River, Qijiang River, Hengjiang River, Niulan River and other major waterway networks;

The distribution center of Dongting Lake with Changsha Prefecture as the center, including the waterway network of Hunan, Zi, Yuan, Li and Dongting Lake areas;

The waterway network of the Han River centered on Wuchang Prefecture, including the main stream of the Yangtze River, the Han River and other tributaries;

Poyang Lake waterway network centered on Jiujiang Prefecture, including Ganjiang River and Fuhe River;

Chaohu waterway network centered on Luzhou Prefecture, including Feishui, Chaohu, etc.;

Finally, there is the waterway network centered on Nanjing, Suzhou, and Songjiang, including canals.

There are a total of six waterway centers, and the waterway is not counted.

Only the last waterway network with Nanjing, Suzhou, and Songjiang Prefecture as the core is nearly [-] miles.

As for the entire waterway, in Yu Qian's second memorial, Yu Qian did not calculate the total number of miles, because the tributaries involved exceeded more than [-] rivers and canals.

At least there are more than [-] miles.

The first [-]-mile waterway given by Yu Qian was only the dredging of the main channel of the Yangtze River from Wujiang to Chongqing, and then from Chongqing to Songjiang.

That's all, it's [-] miles.

Zhu Qiyu understood Yu Qian's ambition.

In his lifetime, this great river that communicates east and west will finally become a waterway that is closely related to the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The Shipping Department of Songjiang Prefecture, which is located at the very end, will be the most prosperous port in Ming Dynasty and the largest cargo distribution port in the foreseeable future.

This is a very ambitious memorial. Even if only [-] miles of waterways are opened up, the goods of Ming Dynasty will be gathered in Nanjing and other places like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath, and he admitted that he was somewhat persuaded.

"How long? How long will it take for the [-]-mile dredging in the first stage?" Zhu Qiyu asked a very critical question.

Dredging a [-]-mile river course is not a trivial matter. If too many people are mobilized, the Ming Dynasty will end up repeating the chaos of the late Sui and Yuan Dynasties.

But once successful, Sichuan, Guizhou, Huguang, and Nanzhili will be closely linked together because of this waterway.

Unparalleled country.

"Ten years." Yu Qian hurriedly bowed his head and said.

"Your Majesty, the first ten years were just dredging, blowing up hidden reefs, and cleaning up dangerous beaches. Aren't the great scholar Chen Xun and others working on the Universal Chronicle? We can use this as an opportunity to gradually count all the dangerous beaches that are broken."

"The urgent beach silt can be dredged first, and it will take ten years to polish this big river to the point where it is completely natural."

Zhu Qiyu hesitated for a moment, then continued to ask: "The second memorial, how long does Yu Shaobao think it will take for this 20-mile waterway?"

Yu Qian sighed, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, who can calculate this? It will take at least a hundred years."

A hundred-year plan.

This is Yu Qian's ultimate ambition in this memorial.

"Yu Shaobao sit down first." Zhu Qiyu picked up Yu Qian's second memorial again, and said helplessly, "Yu Shaobao, what a strategy to subjugate the country."

"If I do it, I'm afraid I'll be scolded as a subjugated king again."

Zhu Qiyu looked at the waterway map of at least 20 miles, and was in a daze for a while. How long will this thing take?

"This is a great strategy to stabilize the country and rejuvenate the country, why should it be scolded?" Yu Qian said with a frown.

That is, after the dredging of the [-]-mile waterway in ten years is completed, how many people on both sides of the Yangtze River can benefit?

How could this be a policy of subjugation? !

Zhu Qiyu picked up the memorial, put it in his sleeve, and said with emotion: "After a hundred years of Yu Shaobao, if I insist on going my own way, who in the world can stop me?"

"This is not a policy of subjugation, so what is it?"

No one can live forever, Zhu Qiyu can't, neither can Yu Qian, they can only live forever by name.

One will die three times.

The first time is biological death, the heart no longer beating, no longer breathing, no longer thinking, means the body is dead.

The second time is the funeral, which means that the life has stagnated at the last moment since then, the honor and disgrace of a lifetime are topped at this moment, and those regrets can no longer be made up.

The third time is forgetting. No one in this world will think of you anymore. To be completely forgotten is to be completely dead.

Yang Hong spent his whole life on the frontier, and the last battle in his life was also in the Xuanfu. He almost ate up Yexian's main force. At the last dying moment, he also saw the sun rise again in Ming Dynasty, so Hu Ming said that Yang Hong was a Happy and mourning.

To live forever with a name is to go down in history and be remembered forever.

There is absolutely no need for Yu Qian to present this memorial, no matter from what point of view, he has already completed his merits and virtues.

All you need to do is to complete your duties conscientiously under His Majesty the Emperor.

Save the prime minister, the loyal bones of Ming Dynasty.

But Yu Qian still played.

"Your Majesty will be successful tomorrow. Always be vigilant in your heart, consider everything carefully, especially with the people in mind, and the people are the foundation of the country. Once it involves people's livelihood, it will be delayed as long as possible. Your Majesty will not make mistakes. If there are mistakes, it is all the responsibility of the ministers." Wrong." Yu Qian said with a smile.

Once a person starts seeking false fame that he can't control, he will fall into the trap of fame and fortune, and he will sink.

Yu Qian doesn't care much about his reputation, he only cares about his own character, and only cares about whether Daming can be revived.

Your Majesty doesn't really care about those false names, this pair of sons and ministers sitting together, discussing the strategy of subjugation is naturally a subjugation minister, a subjugation king.

"Your Majesty, I ask your Majesty to move." In order to persuade His Majesty, Yu Qian prepared a backhand.

Your Majesty has not written a verdict for a long time, because he is thinking of the world's living beings, but Yu Qian's remonstrance, is it not thinking of the world's living beings?

Zhu Qiyu stood up and said, "Then let's go."

The car drove from Nanhu Bieyuan to the northwest, and not long after, they came to a continuous dilapidated place.

Yu Qian sighed and said, "Your Majesty, this is the Longjiang Shipyard."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "I know."

Of course he knew where this place was. He entered from the Jinchuan Gate and saw the Longjiangguan Shipyard on the banks of the Yangtze River and at the tail of the Qinhuai River from a distance.

Daming's imperial palace is in ruins, and the shipyard is also in ruins.

As soon as you enter the gate of the shipyard, you will see seven ponds with berths on them.

This shipyard told Zhu Qiyu an answer.

The Armada, which was built during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty and was still operating normally until the ninth year of Xuande, the Armada of the Ming Dynasty that made the world tremble, disappeared without a trace!

Where did they go?

They parked quietly on the pier set up by the shipyard. Outside the sluice is the pier, and there are many ships parked in the berths on the pier.

Because there was no one to maintain it for a long time, the ship of the Armada was moored at the Longjiang Shipyard, and finally decayed on the berth.

A mast that was more than four feet long fell on the shore and was covered with moss.

These ships are rotten here, they might as well sink into the ocean!

At least it can also be used as a habitat for fish, and it will be salvaged one day in the future, and it will be seen again!

The masts of the treasure ships have already collapsed, some ships have decayed and only the keel is left, and the iron anchors have been completely corroded, and the original appearance cannot be seen.

Treasure ships are rotting here.

Zhu Qiyu stood at the confluence of the Qinhuai River and the Yangtze River, silent.

In the third year of Zhengtong, the imperial court destroyed the treasure ships, the big ships with more than three masts were destroyed, and the small two-masted boats were bought.

Here is a part of the treasure ship that has not been destroyed, but it is also rotten in the mud.

Floating light jumps into gold.

The setting sun shone on the water surface of the Qinhuai River, sparkling, and the fireflies in the water were constantly being scattered and jumping under the spring breeze, forming a sharp contrast with the dilapidated Longjiang Shipyard.

Yu Qian led His Majesty through the remains of the Longjiang Shipyard. There used to be more than [-] shipwrights gathered here, and tens of thousands of households lived nearby, building Western navy day and night.

Workshops such as tent factories, joinery workshops, paint workshops, iron workshops, rope workshops, cable workshops, docks, etc. have collapsed, and warehouses and workshops have been deserted, and even become habitats for wild animals.

The pond is also full of mud.

When Zhu Qiyu, Yu Qian, Lu Zhong and hundreds of Jin Yiwei walked by, the hares were so startled that they ran away in a hurry.

"People don't have long-term considerations, so they must have near-term worries." Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and spoke halfway, but Yu Qian obviously understood.

Because this is what Yu Qian brought His Majesty to this abandoned shipyard and wanted to remonstrate.

What the emperor was talking about was the death of the people and the rest of the government, and it was also the matter that Yu Qian wanted to admonish.

It is the tragedy of the Ming Dynasty that people die and the government rests.

After the Taizu Emperor Long Yu came to the guest, the law of military defense immediately deteriorated to the point of irreversibility, except in the land of nine borders, there was little discussion about the guard.

After Emperor Taizong Longyu was honored as a guest, the last of his seven voyages to the West was in the ninth year of Xuande. Liu Daxia hid the charts and treasure ship charts. Even in the Jiajing period, because the real and fake Japanese envoys competed for tribute, the Shibo Department was finally abolished.

Xingwen and Wu replaced Xingwen and Zhenwu, and Daming embarked on a strange path.

During the orthodox years, the promotion of Wen and Wu, along with the emperor's little improvements, also had a tendency of people's death and government. Of course, the great emperor took the road of revitalizing Wen and Wu, greatly displaying the merits of education and revitalizing military equipment.

But what about after the emperor left?

How can these policies of the emperor ensure that no one will die?

The method Yu Qian wants to use is the Wanmin Department.

If the [-]-mile waterway is opened up, then the Songjiang City Shipping Department has become a major trend, involving the entire Yangtze River Basin, and how can it be abolished?

This is what His Majesty said: People have no long-term worries, but near-term worries.

Yu Qian has already begun to think about how the Jingtai New Deal can be operated properly, stably, and for a long time.

Even if the children and grandchildren are unworthy, the waterway of this great river is endless, and it is not a few people who can decide with a few words.

Zhu Qiyu nodded, took a deep breath, picked up the ink pen from Xing'an, criticized Yu Qian's advice and said: "Then start with the 20 miles, if ten years is not enough, 20 years, as for the waterway of more than [-] miles , A hundred years is not enough, just a thousand years!"

What Yu Qian wrote was not a specific policy, but a remonstrance, a direction, which needs to be discussed by the court, the court, and the province before it is finally decided to send someone to implement it.

Zhu Qiyu agreed, and just approved this matter to be carried out.

The major event that Wanmin is concerned with will not be abolished in the end, the tragedy of death and government should end, and long-term planning is the key to the rise and fall of Ming Dynasty.

Yu Qian is a good word, and Zhu Qiyu accepts it.

Isn't it just [-] miles!

浚！

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "The nobleman of Tang gave birth to a prince, and I decided to name him Zhu Jianjun, which means to unblock the 20-mile waterway."

Only then did Yu Qian know that His Majesty had an emperor's heir again, so he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "I congratulate Your Majesty, and congratulate Daming."

Standing on the bank of the Qinhuai River, Zhu Qiyu looked at the gushing water of the Yangtze River, and asked, "Who will do this? Dredging [-] miles of waterways is no small matter."

Yu Qian already had a candidate in his heart, bowed his head and said, "Xu Youzhen, the censor who patrols the river."
