Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 354 Daming's use of labor is reasonable, right?
The generation who grew up watching the launch of the Ming warship and the generation who followed Zhu Jinsong to overturn the Qing Dynasty are two completely different ways of thinking. One generation is another two completely different thinking.

The generation who followed Zhu Jinsong and overturned the Qing Dynasty was full of aggressiveness, and their hearts were full of pride, but this generation was too hard-edged, and they have been waiting for Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, to conquer No minister!
It seems that this can further prove Daming's tyranny, and it can further prove themselves.

As for the people of the previous generation, they were truly introverted, or cautious. This was influenced by the [-]-year slavery rule of the Qing Dynasty. Even if they turned over and became masters, they always felt a sense of crisis in their hearts.

Only the generation who grew up watching the launch of the Ming warship, they are full of self-confidence and high-spirited, they can treat any European civilians equally, they are more restrained, but their hearts are More proud, more defensive awareness.

More importantly, starting from this generation, the population of Zhongyuan Tangkou or Daming has really entered the stage of explosive growth, and the demographic dividend alone is enough to ensure the development of Daming in the next hundred years.

Of course, the explosive population growth will bring huge demographic dividends, but it will also bring about a huge potential problem-the entire Ming Dynasty will gradually enter the aging stage, and the number of elderly people who need to provide for the elderly will increase.

It's like a rabbit house.

When the Rabbit family was first established, it was really poor and white, just like Zhu Chongba's predicament when he first established Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Chongba overthrew Meng Yuan with a car, and the rabbit overthrew the bald man who spoke for the great powers.

When Zhu Chongba founded the country, most of the gold, silver and jewelry at the entrance of the Central Plains were brought to the grassland by the Mongolian and Yuan courts. When the rabbit was first established, a large amount of gold and silver was brought to the island by the bald man.

But just like Daming who was the father of the whole world back then, Rabbit also succeeded in sitting up in a dying illness, and the great powers were actually my own level.

Anyway, the third child is only more than 8 tons, and most people don’t know how much this surplus is. According to basic mathematical concepts, the smallest positive integer that cannot be divided by the number 3 is [-].

There seems to be nothing wrong with it?
Among them, how much demographic dividend has the rabbit enjoyed?
The infrastructure maniac eats the dividends of the population;
Miracles rejuvenate the country, and real estate rescues the market, which also eats the dividends of population;
The aunts can stir up the situation in the gold market, but they still enjoy the dividends of population.

Let me give you the simplest example—even if one day the real estate industry is going to collapse completely, according to the huge population base of the Rabbit family, this day will come later than any other country!
It can even be said: If the five benevolent people in the small broken pot collectively go crazy and bombard each other with mushroom bombs, relying on the huge population base, the rabbit will be the first one to recover!
It’s just that the demographic dividend period of the rabbit is somewhat short. After all, the territory of the rabbit’s family is there. Even if the rabbit wants to enjoy the demographic dividend for a few more years, it is not so delicious. Instead, it has to face the problem of an aging population structure. Problem - living conditions are getting better and better, medical conditions are getting better and better, the aging trend is an inevitable social phenomenon that will appear in any country, but there is a good virus played by a black and white thing , and the conscience and morality passed down by the Rabbit family for thousands of years does not allow the Rabbit to do such a crazy thing.

Daming will also have to face the problem of an aging population structure. After all, Daming's land area is so large that it occupies the entire small broken ball, and it is impossible to expand indefinitely.

Once this stage is reached, Ming must strike a balance between population growth and aging.

It's just that the current Ming Dynasty is far from the time to consider the aging population structure—is Tianzhu filled?Is the ottoman filled?Got Europa?Has Yin Di'an recovered?
No?

With so much land, is it enough to resettle hundreds of millions of Ming people?
In other words, the demographic dividend period of Ming Dynasty must last at least 50 years or even 100 years-50 years, almost enough to carry out the industrial revolution!

Thinking of the words "Industrial Revolution", Zhu Jinsong couldn't help but curled his fingers and tapped on the table slowly, saying: "Osman will most likely admit that he is afraid, and will send overseas students to us like France and Silly Eagle. Daming to study abroad."

This is almost obvious.

Since Ahmed I abolished the "Killing Order", the Ottoman sultans can be said to be sacks for straw sacks. One generation is not as good as the next generation, and the whole Ottoman has slowly started to go downhill. Now the current Sultan Selim When the third generation was in charge of the family, the strength of the entire Ottomans had obviously declined.

If there was no such thing as Zhu Jinsong's car overturning Daqing, then Osman and Daqing could be said to be the rare crouching dragons and phoenixes in Xiaopoqiu. Anyway, they are brothers who are like brothers and sisters.

The problem is that the Qing Dynasty was overthrown by Zhu Jinsong, and the re-established Ming Dynasty even took the lead in initiating the industrial revolution. The game of the small pot and the strong enough army even overwhelmed all the countries in Europe.

Although Da Ming would not go to laugh at Osman for no reason, Osman's current Sultan Selim III can be regarded as having a brain, and this guy will never give up the opportunity to learn from Da Ming.

Zhu Jinsong even thought of the reason for Selim III—even though the knowledge is far away in China, he should seek it!
Look, the sages and sages have said so, what reason does Osman have to object?

Zhu Jinsong said with a smile: "The sages have said that those who come will never be rejected, and those who go will not be chased. If Osman is really eager to learn and is willing to send overseas students to our Daming to study, I think our Daming should open the door of convenience and accept them." Some foreign students are better?"

Liu Huaiwen said indifferently: "As long as Osman is willing to study like the others in England, I have no objection."

Meng Fanzhi, the leader of the Ministry of Rites, glanced at Liu Huaiwen, and said with a sneer, "Anyway, it's Osman who paid for it. Of course you, Mr. Liu, don't have any objections. If you ask your Ministry of Households to pay for it, you can try it?"

After habitually yelling at Liu Huaiwen, Meng Fanzhi suddenly changed the subject and said, "Actually, our Ministry of Rites has no objection, anyway, the textbooks we prepare for them are the same. Let them learn what the foreign students from Europa learn. That's it."

Zhu Jinsong looked at Liu Huaiwen, Meng Fanzhi and the others with a speechless expression—look, look, these are the princes of the Ming Dynasty!
The majestic Hubu Shangshu is full of heart to collect the tuition fees of foreign students from other countries, and the Libu Shangshu is full of heart to use the castrated "Analects of Confucius", "Mencius" and other four books and five classics to entrap other foreign students, and on the surface he even pretends to be a fool. Looks noble, I bah!
Is there another good thing here!
After complaining secretly in his heart, Zhu Jinsong simply tapped on the table with his fingers and said, "Ottoman's foreign students are still different from those of Europa and Silly Eagle."

"Students from France and Silly Eagle, or from other countries in Europe, have the same beliefs and worship the same god."

"But the overseas students from Ottoman are different. They worship the gods in their teachings, and they have a prescribed time for worship-we, Ming, should respect their customs and habits, and let them pray when they should. Don't be too hard on this matter."

"Of course, if they delay their study abroad because of this, that's their own business."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinsong suddenly changed the subject and told Ke Zhiming: "Isn't Europa doing some kind of sports or something? Send someone to lead those things to Ottoman."

After Ke Zhiming bowed to answer, Zhu Jinsong looked at Meng Fanzhi, the head of the Ministry of Rites, and said, "Change the textbooks for them."

"In addition to respecting their customs and beliefs, content such as "the wind can rain, the rain can make the king unable to enter" should be increased accordingly, such as "the country is rich and the people are strong" or "the people are rich and the country is strong". reduced as much as possible.”

"I heard that Osman is holding scriptures as law envoys. You and others have the responsibility to let Osman's overseas students see what the real law is, understand?"

Meng Fanzhi immediately bowed down and agreed—it might be a bit difficult to train Ottoman's overseas students to become elites like the big bulls in the Royal Academy of Ming Dynasty, but it would be very difficult for Meng Fanzhi to lead them astray. Be confident.

After all, he learned it from Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of Ming Dynasty. Speaking of the ability to deceive people, if the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty recognized the third, probably only the big bosses in the cabinet would dare to recognize the second.

The first is of course Zhu Jinsong, His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Jinsong looked at Song Yucheng, the leader of the Ministry of Industry, and asked, "How is the construction of the railway going now? If there are [-] more laborers, can you increase the speed?"

Song Yucheng smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, even if there are millions more workers, I'm afraid the speed will not be faster, unless more steel factories and steam locomotive factories are opened."

"It's just that there is no need for that at all - opening more steel factories can certainly increase the speed of railway construction, but this will also affect our Daming's railway construction plan, which is not worthwhile."

Zhu Jinsong nodded with a smile and said, "Then let's see where there is still a shortage of labor?"

Hearing what Zhu Jinsong said, not only Song Yucheng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, became excited, but even Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs also became excited-whether there is a shortage of labor?Everything is missing!

Things like railway construction are easier to talk about. After all, it will be the focus of the development of the Ming court in the next few decades. More than half of the laborers imported by Daming over the years are owned by the railway.

But besides the railway project, Daming also has a lot of messy projects that are in urgent need of labor!

Such as water conservancy projects.

There are many and serious flood disasters at the entrance of the Central Plains. From the first year of the Han Dynasty (206 BC) to the 14th year of the Ming Dynasty, there have been more than 2000 major flood disasters at the entrance of the Central Plains, with an average of 1000 years It happens just once.

Therefore, there has always been a saying in the halls of the Central Plains that "controlling water is governing the country".

Especially after Jianyi entered the customs, the common people at the entrance of the Central Plains suffered from two major disasters.

One is the hard-core crop man made by Jianyi, and the other is the flood.

Zhu Jinsong turned over the Qing Dynasty with his military chariot, which ended the disaster of Uncle Man, and how to deal with the flood and turn harm into benefit became an important issue for the Ming court.

In the first month of the second year of the Ming Dynasty, the Water Conservancy Department of the Ministry of Industry proposed the plan of "storage and discharge simultaneously, and water control first, the river". Large-scale reservoirs are built in nearby and water-scarce areas.

At that time, the Ming court was not rich, although it was not that poor. After all, Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, never took the usual path. When he could find a way to make money, he would never be soft-hearted. There were too many, especially the two major expenditures of sociology and literacy. At that time, the Ming treasury was really tight.

However, no matter how difficult it was, the state treasury managed to allocate 300 million taels of silver to the Water Conservancy Department, and thereafter will allocate 500 million taels a year for river control and reservoir construction.

In all honesty, if it weren't for Liu Huaiwen, the Minister of the Household Department, who has been saving money for the treasury, I am afraid that many projects in Daming will be postponed, and it would be impossible to just do it like it is now.

But again, the problem of money is relatively easy to solve after all, and the real troublesome problem still lies in people.

As we all know, digging mountains to build roads, building bridges when encountering water, and digging wells to fetch water are all life-threatening things. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was reasonable to send troops to dig wells for the common people. There is really no other way, even if it is a risky matter, we can only let Daming's army go up first.

The army of Ming Dynasty came from the common people, and serving the common people is a matter of course, even if sacrificed.

But now Daming has more choices.

For example, labor.

Zhu Jinsong doesn't really care if the lives of laborers or Kunlun slaves are expensive, neither do Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs, and even less so do the leaders of the Five Armies Commander's Mansion, they only care about Daming The life of a soldier—the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are first of all the people of the Ming Dynasty!The Ming court headed by Zhu Jinsong will never let the army fill in those that can be filled by laborers!
The problem is that the number of laborers is not infinite.

Just taking the management of the Yellow River as an example, it is not too much to recruit [-] people to work at a time, right?In order to ensure the safety of these [-] people, many dangerous projects have to calculate the number of possible sacrifices in advance and prepare Kunlun slaves in advance. Is this reasonable?
