Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1286, Twenty Years of Hongzhi
"Boom~Boom~"

Fireworks pierced the sky with piercing roars, and finally bloomed in the night sky.

The streets and alleys are filled with the sound of firecrackers, and billowing smoke envelopes the huge city of Beijing.

Liu Jin watched the fireworks and listened to the firecrackers one after another, but his thoughts drifted far away.

Another year has passed.

Hongzhi has been here for twenty years.

Historically, in the [-]th year of Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi died, and student Zhu Houzhao came to power. Now it has been [-] years since Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi is still in good health.

"I don't know if Zhu Houzhao will surpass the future Prince Charles and become the strongest standby king."

It has been twelve years since time travel, the history of Ming Dynasty has undergone tremendous changes, even the fate of Emperor Hongzhi has changed.

"That's good, otherwise, if Zhu Houzhao is the emperor, I'm afraid that the situation I have worked so hard to create will be completely destroyed."

"Emperor Hongzhi is in good health, and if he continues to rule, it will be enough for the Ming Dynasty to continue to develop like this for another [-] or [-] years, which is enough to establish Ming's dominion over the entire world."

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Liu Jin's face.

The happiest thing is nothing more than this.

The Ming Dynasty did not develop as it did in history, and the descendants of Yan and Huang embarked on a completely new path. They would not be ruled by the Tunguska wild boar skin, nor would they be ignorant and ignorant for three hundred years, which eventually led to a hundred years of suffering, and finally even The spine was almost broken by someone.

At this time, it is probably difficult for the people of Ming Dynasty to understand what the people of later generations have experienced.

In future generations, we are taught to respect this and that everywhere, but who has ever respected us?

Anyone can yell at us, even in our homes, even a garbage man from a garbage country.

It's hard to imagine that the people of a country known as a big country are so unconfident. Rich people are proud of immigrating overseas, women are proud of marrying foreigners, and all kinds of foreign garbage come to this country, and they suddenly become teachers!
It is difficult for the Ming people at this moment to enjoy what happened hundreds of years later in the land they live in.

At this time, they are just like the fireworks that are constantly blooming in the night sky, high above, overlooking the whole life, they seem to be the most noble existence, and they are superior to others.

Both the Koreans and the Japanese are vying to marry Daming people and immigrate to Daming to live. Their language, characters, and even customs are learning from Daming.

Nanyang is the sugar bank of the Ming people. In a large number of plantations, millions of slaves are planting sugar cane and boiling sugar for the Ming people. As for those arrogant monkeys, they have already been killed or are planting Work honestly in the garden.

Australia is the pasture and meat bank of the Ming people. Australian dried meat is sold all over the world. It is cheap and tastes very good. The key is that it is said that Australian kangaroo meat can nourish yin and nourish yang.

The Golden Continent is the treasury and silver treasury of the Ming people. The Aztecs and the Incas used gold and silver to build tall pyramids year after year, just to use the suffering of this life to reincarnate as the Ming Dynasty in the next life. Man, became the descendant of the sun god.

Tianzhu and Africa are the colonies and vassal states of the Ming people. Cotton, sugar cane, pepper, frankincense, myrrh, ivory, gemstones, corals, etc. were continuously transported to Daming. Ship back to Daming.

The vast grasslands in the north, all the way to the northernmost Arctic Circle, are the pastures of the Daming people. Every year, a large number of horses, cattle and sheep, and more and more wool are continuously imported into the pass.

The bitter and cold Liaodong has become synonymous with prosperity. The wheat, wine, pigs, and wood in the virgin forest here are constantly moving to Beijing and Tianjin.

The Western Regions and Hezhong are the cotton production areas, meat depots, horse production areas, and grain depots of the Ming people. Many tribes that used to be invincible in the past are constantly praising the sage of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ottoman Empire was beaten to the ground by the Ming people, the Europeans were disturbed by the situation, Persia and Persia are good partners of the Ming people, the Mediterranean Sea and Western Europe have colonies of the Ming people, and Eastern Europe is the source of slaves for the Ming people...
What reason do the Ming people at this moment not be proud and confident?

It's all worth it.

"But it's not enough~"

Soon, Liu Jin's gaze became firm again.

The seemingly powerful and huge Ming Empire is actually not strong enough, and is still very fragile.

There are still many problems in itself. Internally, traditional Confucianism still occupies a dominant position, and traditional stereotyped essay examinations still monopolize official careers.

Those traditional scholars who have no power to restrain a chicken and have little ability to govern the country still have a high status, and they continue to despise those who continue to make contributions to this country.

A new trend of thought is brewing, but it is not enough to compete with traditional feudal thought.

The development of capitalism has not yet reached a certain stage, and it still appears to be very fragile.

The power of industry and technology is still very weak, and a complete basic system has not yet been established.

In terms of external environment.

Europe is constantly rising and becoming stronger, the Ottoman Empire is still strong, and the Persians are also working hard to rule. They all have the potential to threaten the hegemony of the Ming Dynasty.

The seemingly huge and powerful Ming Empire is actually far less powerful than imagined. At least, it has not yet consolidated its rule over this huge land and huge population.

There are also overseas vassal states and colonies, which have already begun to compete for territory and interests. Will war break out in the future?
"It's a long way to go~"

Liu Jin thought a little too far.

In fact, think about it, I have already done enough, there is no need to think too much, do too much, Daming has already embarked on a different path.

The two fierce horses of capitalism and colonialism will inevitably lead Ming Dynasty to a more brilliant future, and the rolling wheel of history can no longer be stopped.

"Dad~Dad~"

"Daddy~Daddy~"

Just when Liu Jin was in a daze, several little kids came to Liu Jin's side in a swarm, and they all looked at him with longing eyes.

It's time to give out New Year's money again.

"Haha, come, come, have a share~"

"Don't spend money indiscriminately, and don't eat too much sugar~"

"Be careful when playing with firecrackers."

Liu Jin took out the red envelopes he had prepared long ago in his bosom, and while giving out lucky money to these little kids, he also urged them.

Although Liu Jin is very rich now and is from a powerful family in Ming Dynasty, Liu Jin has always been very strict with his children.

The requirements are very strict, and at the same time, the control over money is also very strict. The pocket money is strictly controlled. In many cases, even if you have to help the family to get the pocket money.

This point was not understood by Mother Liu, Xu Wan'er, and Li Zhen. The family was obviously rich, so why did Liu Jin educate the children like this.

Liu Jin's wealth is so huge that it is unimaginable that even Liu Jin himself does not know how much wealth he has.

But Liu Jin still insists on his own principles, because Liu Jin does not want his children to become the second generation who will only eat and wait to die. Money is a trivial matter, but we must let the children understand that it is hard-won, so that they will cherish it more. As for growing up to be a spendthrift waste.

"You~"

Xu Wan'er and Li Zhen also walked over, and when they saw their daughter happily opening the red envelope and taking out the one tael silver note inside, they couldn't help shaking their heads when they were still very happy.

They knew that Liu Jin was not a stingy person. He built and opened schools every year, and Liu Jin threw in millions of taels of silver without blinking his eyes.

But when you spend money on your children, you always seem to be picky and searchy. For the New Year's Eve, each child will be given a tael of New Year's money. You must know which family's children celebrate the New Year's Eve in the official families in this area. Can't get rich once?
Especially now that everyone has a lot of property and earns a lot of money, the more money they give to the children during the Chinese New Year, the more expensive things are. Only Liu Jin is so weird, and he asks them to be the same as himself.

"The money is a little less, but you see, they are all very happy~"

Liu Jin said, one on each side, with his arms around his beautiful wife.

"You are the head of the family, you have the final say."

Xu Wan'er gave Liu Jin a blank look, and as for Li Zhen, she hugged Liu Jin's hand tightly.

"They are still young, and the money given is too much and too easy. They will gradually develop a bad habit, thinking that this money is easy to get, and they don't know how to cherish it. When they grow up, It is very likely that you will become a prodigal."

"Don't pamper your children too much, but be principled."

"It is also a good thing for children to do what they can and develop the habit of working."

Liu Jin did not forget to tell the two of them again that he is usually busy and does not have much time to educate his children, so he mainly relies on the two of them to educate his children.

"Understood, I listen to you."

Xu Wan'er nodded and replied.

Then he looked at the fireworks blooming in the night sky and said, "This year's fireworks seem to be more and more beautiful than last year's."

"It seems to be like this. This shows that everyone's life this year is better than last year."

Liu Jin nodded. There are more and more fireworks and firecrackers in Beijing this New Year, and they are getting louder and louder.

"Sir, it's getting late, shouldn't it be time to rest~"

When Li Zhen on the side finished speaking, her face turned red, and she snuggled tightly into Liu Jin's arms.

"Haha, yes, it's time to sleep~"

Liu Jin laughed happily when he heard it, and then walked to the room with his beautiful wife in his arms.

However, at this moment, an extremely discordant voice sounded.

"Old Liu, old Liu~"

Zhu Houzhao's voice came from far and near, as if there was something urgent.
