Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 376: The country is rich and the people are strong?The people are prosperous and the country is strong?
Perhaps because many bigwigs were born recklessly, and later became bigwigs step by step after rebelling with Zhu Jinsong, these bigwigs in the Ming Dynasty never knew how to write the word "harmony".

Especially when a large budget is involved like now, these bigwigs have restrained themselves if they didn't directly swear or do something directly.

However, what all the bosses did not expect was that Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, would end up in person: "The budget saved from literacy will not be given to your Ministry of Industry, nor to the Ministry of Communications, let alone the Ministry of Rites. I have other arrangements."

Liu Huaiwen, who is in charge of the household department, immediately became nervous: "What does Your Majesty want to do with such a large budget? Whose place are you planning to smash?"

After being told by Liu Huaiwen, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs immediately became nervous, while Liu Heming and other bigwigs from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion became excited.

At the beginning, the Qing Dynasty wished that the common people in the world would be blind, so in the promotion of sociology and education, it has always been possible to save as much as possible, and the literacy rate in the Central Plains was directly reduced to an outrageous [-]%. degree.

It is easy to get the literacy rate from [-]% to zero, but it is very difficult to go from zero to one.

Ever since he occupied Menglianggu, Zhu Jinsong instructed Liu Huaiwen, the big housekeeper at the time, to spend money on literacy. After the Qing Dynasty was completely eliminated and the Ming Dynasty was re-established, the annual expenditure on literacy was even higher.

Needless to say, at least it can be used to destroy small countries like Myanmar, Cochin or Japanese slaves.

It is precisely because the saved funds are so high that they can be used to spoil a small country, so Liu Huaiwen, Zeng Cheng and other civil servants are nervous, and Liu Heming and other military officials are excited.

However, Zhu Jinsong's next words made all the civil servants breathe a sigh of relief, and disappointed Liu Heming and other military officials.

"I have already said before that the number of Dingkou in our Ming Dynasty is too small. It is a good thing to be able to stabilize the existing territory now. It is impossible to go out and smash someone's place in a short time."

Zhu Jinsong curled his fingers, knocked on the table slowly and said, "I plan to invest the saved budget in those mountainous areas and the west - although the barbarians in Europa regard our Daming as a paradise, but , don’t we have poor places in Ming Dynasty?”

Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and other bigwigs suddenly fell silent.

As the top bigwigs in the Ming Dynasty, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs knew very well that not only are there poor places in Daming, but some places are particularly poor.

This situation is actually pretty fucked up.

Does Ming Dynasty lack land now?
Absolutely no shortage.

Not to mention the new Qinzhou fief where King Zhu Sanshun of Jin and the Louisiana fief where King Zhu Erdan of Qin lived, even the chief envoy of Jiaozhi and the chief envoy of Burma have a lot of wasteland waiting to be cultivated.

Not to mention the chief envoy of Jiugang, the chief envoy of Lanfang, and Tianzhu, who will soon be completely taken down.

With so many lands and so many wastelands, even if Daming's current population of [-] million people were divided among these lands, there would still be a lot of wastelands.

From this point of view, the saying that Daming is still poor is like a joke.

Actually?

There are indeed many places in the Ming Dynasty that are in a state of poverty, and it can even be said that they are in a state of poverty - those whose per capita annual income is less than [-] dragon yuan are considered poor, and those whose per capita annual income is less than [-] dragon yuan are considered poor.

Although the annual income of [-] dragon yuan is regarded as a relatively high income compared to other countries in Xiaopoqiu, it can even be regarded as a wealthy family, but does it depend on who it is compared with?

Compared with the annual income of [-] or even close to [-] per capita for those chief envoys in the capital or along the coast, the per capita annual income of less than [-] can only be regarded as poverty.

This is something that can’t be helped. After all, not all places are suitable for economic development, and not all places are suitable for port development and the like.

For example, mountainous areas, such as grasslands.

It is unrealistic to move all the people to rich areas.

For example, whether the people have the mentality that their homeland is hard to leave, or whether those wealthy areas can support so many people.

Even if these factors are not considered, and the budget for relocating people is not taken into account, it is impossible for Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs to directly adopt the almost one-size-fits-all approach of direct relocation-if it is true In doing so, almost half of Daming's land would be abandoned.

Zhu Jinsong continued: "I have said before that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads."

"Our Daming has built quite a lot of roads now, and both the railway network and the road network have already taken shape."

"However, there are still many places in our Ming Dynasty that have not been able to get rich. This is the responsibility of our monarchs and ministers."

After being told by Zhu Jinsong, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs lowered their heads, and even Liu Heming and other bigwigs from the military government who always liked to smash others were silent.

In the culture of Zhongyuan Tangkou, the great harmony of the world is both an ideal and a goal.

Even if they use a more utilitarian argument, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs can't ignore the problem that people in many places in Ming Dynasty are still living in poverty-if the people are not rich enough, how can Ming Dynasty be stable?Daming can't be stable, so it's hard to be an official!

But again, if you want to make the people in all parts of Daming rich, you can't just talk about it, and there are still a lot of problems in reality.

For example, mountainous areas.

The first problem faced by mountainous areas is that it is inconvenient to farm. After all, more mountains means less land. Coupled with problems such as lack of coastal areas and transportation costs, it is not easy to run workshops.

Another example is the grassland.

The problems faced by grasslands are similar to those faced by mountainous areas, and there is an additional problem of water and soil conservation.

These messy problems are piled up together, how to solve them?

After thinking for a while, Zeng Cheng simply bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I have an idea—why don't your majesty build a palace on the grassland?"

Hearing Zeng Cheng's words, Zhu Jinsong immediately said dumbfounded: "I'm usually in the capital, and occasionally I go out in low clothes, so it's not good to show off like Qian Deaf, and run on the grassland when I have nothing to do. What is Gai Xinggong doing?"

Zeng Cheng chuckled, and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I think that the way of Qian Deaf's old dog building a palace for traveling is a waste of people and money, but your Majesty's way of building a palace on the grassland can make the people on the grassland rich."

Zhu Jinsong was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: "Zeng Qing is planning to let me take the lead to go for a walk on the grassland, so as to attract more Ming people to go to the grassland?"

This is also a good way.

Just imagine, Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor, went to the grassland to play, and wrote about Emperor Zhu's itinerary in the newspaper, and then wrote that Emperor Zhu praised how beautiful the scenery on the grassland was, and how delicious the beef and mutton were. The people of Ming Dynasty would definitely also want to go to the grassland to play.

This is the so-called celebrity effect.

But this way of playing also has disadvantages.

First of all, it is impossible for Zhu Jinsong to build palaces everywhere. After all, there are many places where the per capita annual income is less than [-] yuan. Zhu Jinsong built a thousand palaces?

Even if the cost of building a thousand palaces does not need to be considered, the problem of Zhu Jinsong's lack of skills must also be considered, right?It would take three years to change a thousand palaces a day!

The second is sustainability.

This kind of gameplay was better at the beginning, but what about the follow-up?
It is impossible for the common people of Ming Dynasty to stop doing shit every day and follow Zhu Jinsong's ass all day long to play everywhere.

More importantly, this kind of gameplay can improve the economic level to a certain extent, but from the perspective of the entire Ming Dynasty, this kind of gameplay is not necessarily a good thing.

All economies developed through virtual and non-physical gameplay cannot withstand the impact of strong winds and waves.

Give the simplest example.

A certain street in Silly Eagle's house is awesome enough, right?It is similar to say that a street can affect the economy of the entire small broken ball.

But what impact can this street withstand?
Once a large-scale crisis occurs, the rooftops on this street will become very crowded!

On the contrary, the industry has a stronger ability to bear it—for example, the international financial crisis and the Europa sovereign debt crisis. Each time, Germany, the "old Europa" who was called rigid and unable to adapt to the new era, first improved after short-term fluctuations .

After careful consideration, Zhu Jinsong simply shook his head and said: "The economy developed through tourism and other forms cannot withstand strong winds and waves. I don't intend to use this method to increase the income of the people, but I prefer to use it to increase the income of the people. Let the common people become richer by doing business.”

"The so-called country is rich and the people are strong, and the country is strong and the people are rich. I hope that the people can become strong while being rich."

Hearing what Zhu Jinsong said, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs frowned.

The country is rich and the people are strong and the country is strong and the people are rich. It sounds similar at first glance, but the actual concept is very different.

It is more realistic for the country to be rich and the people strong, just like the current Daming—the Ming court is rich and the army is strong enough, so the people of Daming will naturally have confidence, even if they leave the country of Daming, they are not in vain.

In contrast, it is unrealistic for the country to be strong and the people rich. When the people become rich, it is very likely that the people will advance and the country will retreat.

Therefore, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs also hope that the people will become rich, but this wealth should not be like what Zhu Jinsong said.

It is best to control it within a "degree" range.

But the scope of this "degree" is difficult to grasp.

However, after Zhu Jinsong listened to the concerns of Zeng Cheng and others, he was almost laughing at the money—there is a possibility that if the people are rich, the people will advance and the country will retreat?What kind of novel bullshit theory is this?

No matter how rich the people are, can they be as rich as the country?

No matter how strong the people are, can they be stronger than the law and the army?
Furthermore, what Zhu Jinsong said is that the country is rich, the people are rich, the country is strong, and the people are strong. , When the country is rich, the people are also rich, and when the country is strong, the people are also strong. This is the real way to long-term stability.

After talking about this question with a smile, Zhu Jinsong went on to talk about Habsburg and Sand Goose.

"According to the information I have received, Paul I seems to be in poor health recently. The Sand Goose Army is basically commanded by Paul I's son Alexander Pavlovich at the front."

Zhu Jinsong knocked on the table with his fingers, first motioned Ke Zhiming to distribute the information about Alexander Pavlovich to Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and other big bosses, and then continued: "If there is no accident, this Alexander Pavlovich Pavlovich will soon become Alexander I."

Liu Heming took Alexander Pavlovich's information, looked through it carefully, and frowned: "According to the information, Alexander seems to be a bit of a double-faced man?"

Ke Zhiming said: "Yes, this person has one thing on the outside and another on the inside. When he was in Sand Goose Palace, he was kind and courteous, but when he returned to Gatchina, the fief of his father Paul I, he was like It turned into another person: he always wore a straight Prussian-style officer uniform, supervised the work of his subordinates with a serious expression, and could listen to his superiors with a deadpan expression, just like a ruthless military machine."

"In addition, according to the information we have collected, Alexander is very smart-it is said that he once mastered the number of flowers spent by his grandmother Catherine II in one and a half hours under the guidance of his teacher. Years of geography knowledge."

"Of course, Alexander also has the faults of sand goose nobles, such as being free and undisciplined. This kind of habit makes him learn everything without asking for a deep understanding. After he understands something, he will lose interest."

"So, our Jin Yiwei's judgment on Alexander is not a big threat. If he is guided, he will be a better leader than his father Paul I."

After listening to Ke Zhiming's analysis, Zeng Cheng couldn't help but say: "If this is the case, then things will be much easier - anyway, our Daming has already accepted so many foreign students to Daming, and he is one less Quite a few, not one more than Alexander."

"Perhaps, it is possible to build another college for international students to recruit those princes, princesses and noble children from other countries in Xiaopoguo to study abroad?"

Meng Fanzhi, the head of the Ministry of Rites, suddenly brightened his eyes, and said: "Mr. Zeng Ge's idea is good. These guys are rich, and they don't care about the tuition fees, and they don't need to teach them any real skills. As long as the etiquette, etiquette, Just teach them about having fun."

Speaking of this, Meng Fanzhi couldn't help but sighed regretfully, and said, "It's a pity, I should have left behind a few sons of the deaf old dog."
