Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 783

Taichang really did not expect that the first food problem would be stuck.

How to do it?

The food consumed by 3000 to [-] million people is not a small amount. I am afraid that even if you buy it from the Spaniards, you will not be able to buy so much.

Originally, he thought that the North American Indian tribe could find a way to increase production.

The problem is that the [-] dependent countries of the Indian tribes in North America are still short of people, and there is simply no way to grow so much food.

No, they are short of people, but here are plenty of people!

If some of the primitive tribes here are migrated, wouldn't the problem of lack of people be solved?
Moreover, the West Yindu Islands are also short of people, and part of them can also be migrated there.

If all the wasteland in these two places can be planted with food, it will be no problem to feed hundreds of millions of people!

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked, "Bo Ya, how much arable land is left in the West Yindu Islands?"

Sun Chuanting couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words.

Your majesty, you don't want us to find a way, do you?

We are even more short of people!

He thought for a while, but still bit the bullet and explained: "Your Majesty, there are at least tens of millions of acres of barren arable land in the Western Yindu Islands, and this humble minister is also anxious to see it.

However, all the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and Shenwu Battalion in the Western Yindu Islands plus Tunwei and their families have a total of more than 100 million people. Dongyang Cheng announced that the Political Envoy Division can only bring in a few hundred thousand people. There is more than enough but not enough.

However, we have now developed more than 1000 million mu of arable land, and we can even out several million stones of grain every year. "

What can a few million stones of grain do?
I was worried that the primitive tribes here would be afraid of the cold and would not be able to stay in the North American continent, so I chose two places.

After all, people here are used to not wearing clothes, and when they get there, they can't bear it in winter without wearing cotton jackets. It's hard to say how many people can adapt.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then said to his apprentice: "Asuzu, if the primitive tribes here leave the jungle and go to the North American continent or the Western Yindu Islands to learn farming, would they be willing to go?"

What is there to be willing or not, the food grown is to feed their own stomachs.

There is nothing more important for primitive tribes than what they eat.

A Suzu nodded slowly and said: "Teacher, the students think they should be willing. In order to fill their stomachs, they are willing to do anything."

Well, that will do.

Taichang said decisively: "You order people to ask the chiefs of various tribes to see if those tribes are willing to migrate to the North American continent or the Western Yindu Islands to learn farming from them.

You can let them choose between these two places.

One advantage of the North American continent is that there are basically people from Indian tribes, so it is convenient to communicate.

However, it is very cold there in winter, so you have to wear thick clothes to keep out the cold.

The West Yindu Islands also have an advantage. You have the same climate as here, and many islands can wear a pair of shorts all year round.

However, there are basically our Ming army soldiers, Tunwei and their families, so it may be a bit inconvenient to communicate.

They must learn Daming Mandarin well in order to communicate normally with others.

You tell them the pros and cons, and let them choose for themselves. "

Hearing this, Asuzu nodded slowly, and then said cautiously: "Master, there are too many chiefs of these tribes, I'm afraid the students don't have the time to tell them one by one.

Otherwise, the students directly issue an order to migrate, do you think it will work? "

Uh, that definitely won't work.

I have established your authority, who would dare to disobey your orders.

The problem is that some people don’t want to go, but if you order them to go, that’s not good.

It is also possible that someone wanted to go to you but did not order them to go, so it is not enough to catch them with hair and beard.

However, how to manage so many people is also a big problem.

Right now, he has arranged four assistants for A Suzu. Five people will definitely not be able to manage 3000 to [-] million people. They can’t even manage the existing four million people. Most of them are Ming officials who are helping them. Never mind.

Thinking of this, Taichang said loudly again: "Let's deal with the food problem like this.

We strive to migrate about 1000 million people to the North American continent and the Western Yindu Islands, so that they can learn to farm.

I believe that with the help of farming machines, they will have no problem cultivating an average of ten acres of land per person.

With 1000 million people, that is [-] million mu of land. Even if the yield per mu is only two shi, the food is almost enough to eat.

Moreover, after the population is migrated, the food these people eat themselves will not be used for round-trip transportation, and more than half of the transportation capacity will be saved.

What do you think? "

Great.

When everyone heard the words, they nodded and praised the emperor for his wisdom.

Taichang raised his hand to signal everyone not to take pictures, and then continued: "The next thing is the management of these 3000 million people.

Right now, the great chief A Suzu plus four chiefs who are well-versed in Ming Mandarin are in charge of 400 million people. As far as this is concerned, most of the things are arranged by other officials, and they are simply too busy.

It’s definitely not going to work like this, we can’t always help them take care of it, and in the end, they still have to take care of their own people.

Their management is really a bit chaotic at the moment. Out of 100 million people, there are four to five thousand chiefs alone. With 400 million people, there are nearly 3000 chiefs. If there are [-] to [-] million people, there are at least [-] chiefs.

If this continues, A Suzu will definitely not be able to control so many people.

Tell me, what should I do? "

My God, the chief alone costs hundreds of thousands, so what do you do?
Not to mention, someone really knows how to manage it.

Zodiac Zhou is specialized in managing Indian tribes, and he has studied this for a long time.

He just thought about it for a while, and then suggested: "Your Majesty, it's actually not difficult to manage this.

We can set up twenty or thirty great elders under the great chief, and let each of these great elders manage about 100 million people.

Then, under each great elder, there are ten elders, and each elder is responsible for managing about 10 people.

Next, under these great elders, ten officially appointed chiefs with high ranks were set up, and each chief was responsible for managing about 1 people.

As for the remaining chiefs, they can be regarded as low-rank officials, and it is enough for them to manage hundreds of people in their own tribe. However, they all have to be governed by high-rank chiefs. "

This is a good way!
Taichang nodded involuntarily, and then said to his apprentice: "A Suzu, do you hear me, let's do this."

Uh, what if we just do this?
A Suzu thought about it carefully, and then asked cautiously: "Men, among so many chiefs, who should the students appoint as official chiefs?

And the Great Elder, how do you choose the elders?

By the way, there is also the issue of grade.

The students of this grade that Mr. Huang mentioned knew it.

Question, what rank is the official chief, what rank is the great elder, and what rank is the elder? "

Well, those are good questions.

Taichang thought for a while, and then taught: "Official chiefs, great elders, and elders can all be produced through assessment.

For example, now, you can assess everyone, and whoever speaks the best in the official Ming Dynasty will be appointed as the Great Elder. You can only be a petty official without rank.

You can also assign a term to these Grand Elders, Elders, and Official Chiefs.

Generally, there is an assessment every three years or so. After the assessment, they will be re-appointed and dismissed. Whoever is the best in the examination will be the Great Elder, followed by the elders and officially ranked chiefs.

As for the grade of these people.

The great elders and elders are the same as those on the North American continent. They are of the third and fourth ranks, and the official chiefs should be set at the seventh rank.

By the way, you, a great chief, must also have a rank, so I will give you a real rank.

This level is not only the authority of the manager, but also the corresponding salary. You have to send money or food to people every month, so you can't make people work for nothing. "

Uh, the first thing you say is authentic!
The emperor was so kind to this personal disciple that he had nothing to say.

You must know that [-]% of the officials of Ming Dynasty will not be above the third rank in their entire lives. As for the first rank, after so many years in Ming Dynasty, the civil servants who are truly the first rank can be counted with two hands.

Of course, he is the emperor's direct disciple, and there are 3000 to [-] million people under his control, so there is nothing to say if he is a genuine first-class.

A Suzu really has no feeling for this first-class product, he still thinks in his mind how to manage the people under him.

He knows what the assessment and salary mean, but he is not very clear about how to determine the assessment and salary.

He thought about it carefully, and then asked: "Master, how is this assessment determined?
Is it always determined to assess how well everyone speaks in official Ming Dynasty?

The students felt that this might not work, because once the Ming Dynasty official dialect became popular here, there would be countless people who could speak the Daming official dialect in a few years.

When the time comes, how will you take the exam?
Also, how much is this salary suitable for a person? "

Oh, this kid is really enlightened.

Taichang liked this disciple more and more.

He taught patiently: "Of course this assessment is not just about how well people speak the official language of Ming Dynasty.

Now there is no way, because everyone can learn Daming Mandarin in such a short period of time, which is considered good.

Isn't I arranging for them to learn to read and write?

After three years, they will be assessed again, and they will be assessed for reading and literacy.

At that time, at least one must be able to write a decent article in order to be the Great Elder and Elder.

As for after another three years, you can try to take the same exam as the imperial examination in Ming Dynasty, taking stereotyped essays and various professional skills in science.

At that time, you can even directly ask the Ministry of Rites and Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty to submit questions, and you can also determine the merits of scholar, scholar, and Jinshi according to the standards of the Ming Dynasty, and evaluate them separately, and advance step by step. "

Asuzuna is indeed quite smart. If he hadn't been smart, he wouldn't have been chosen as his successor by the original great chief of the Giant Horse Tribe.

However, this imperial examination system cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

For someone like him who has never been exposed to imperial examinations, no matter how smart he is, he cannot understand the entire imperial examination process by just listening to a few sentences.

He thought about it again, and still couldn't help asking: "Teacher, the students really don't know how to conduct the imperial examination, so please ask the teacher to teach."

Uh, when it comes to this, it means that children have no mothers, which is a long story.

This is the meeting, I can't waste everyone's time to teach disciples.

Taichang simply pointed to Wen Zhenmeng and said, "You can ask Mr. Wen about the imperial examination.

He is the No. [-] scholar in the imperial examination of Ming Dynasty, and an official of the Ministry of Rites who is in charge of the imperial examination. If you have any questions, you can ask him. "

Well, then ask this Mr. Wen.

Later, A Suzu really opened the imperial examination in the Amazon River Basin, and the acceptance rate of the Amazon imperial examination was frighteningly low.

Because the person who can be admitted to Jinshi is at least an elder who manages 10 people, or even a great elder who manages millions of people!

There are only so many great elders and elders, and the scholars in the Amazon River Basin are still fighting for their heads!

Later, the Amazon imperial examination was also known as the most difficult imperial examination in the world, even more difficult than that of Ming Dynasty!
