Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

"Father, I think there are some aspects of our Ming Dynasty that need further improvement."

In Wuying Palace, Han Cheng didn't say much after seeing Zhu Yuanzhang.

He looked directly at Zhu Yuanzhang and said these words.

After all, there was no need to say anything else between him and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also not surprised when he heard Han Cheng say this.

He immediately looked at Han Cheng and asked, "What's the matter?"

Although up to now, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the Ming Dynasty had made many improvements compared to before.

But this time, these words were said by Han Cheng.

Then he will naturally attach great importance to it.

At the same time, I also want to see what other areas Han Cheng can think of that need improvement.

If we can really get some better measures, it will be a huge profit for the Ming Dynasty.

Han Cheng said: "I think we need to build orphanages and corresponding nursing homes in Ming Dynasty.

An orphanage is a place where children who have no parents and no other relatives to take care of them are gathered together and raised by the government.

The government will set up corresponding institutions in various places.

Raise them to adulthood.

Nursing homes are mainly for the elderly who are widowed, lonely, and have no other ability to live and have no one to take care of them.

Give them a place to eat and stay.

So that their later years will not be too difficult.

To ensure that the elderly are well cared for and the young are well cared for..."

Han Cheng looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and expressed his thoughts.

Speaking of which, orphanages and nursing homes are the two institutions that provide a safety net.

Han Cheng had thought about this before.

But before that, the Ming Dynasty's level was obviously not enough.

Money and resources in all aspects are not enough.

There are still many things to do and there is no time to take care of these aspects.

So I kept it to myself and didn't mention it.

But now it’s different.

With the beginning of navigation and the formal development of Japan.

The situation in the Ming Dynasty now is obviously different from before.

Moreover, things like potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes are now available.

And it turns out that the output is quite good.

Now and in the future, there will definitely be vigorous promotion.

There will be a significant increase in food production.

Under such circumstances, these two institutions really need to be put on the agenda.

After hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sat up straight.

The two aspects mentioned by Han Cheng were something he had not thought of before.

Just by listening to it, you can tell that this is indeed worthy of attention.

The development of a country cannot just focus on the strong.

Just see the corresponding benefits.

At the same time, we should also pay more attention to the weak.

Give them more corresponding things to do.

He had previously ordered people to set up drums for reporting and to go to local areas to publicize the law.

It is encouraged that citizens sue officials.

At the same time, I also want to minimize the number of people starving to death in Daming...

It’s all this effort.

On the one hand, they did this for the stability of their Ming Dynasty.

On the other hand, isn't it also a wish to make life better for the people below?
Now, the suggestion put forward by Han Cheng is particularly good.

He paid attention to things that he had not paid attention to before.

He immediately said, "This is a good idea. Tell us more about it so we can listen.

What kind of charter is this specifically? "

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately took it very seriously.
Han Cheng then told Zhu Yuanzhang his thoughts on this matter.

“The key to this matter is that the authorities should come forward and pay the lion’s share.

Secondly, there was a call on the people and some nobles to contribute money to establish official institutions.

Establish an orphanage.

And let the corresponding people be responsible for the orphans' food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Not only that, the medical care and corresponding education of these children must be as adequate as possible.

At the very least, we need to take care of them until they are fourteen years old, so that they can have a certain level of living ability..."

After listening to what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nod frequently.

But at the same time, he looked embarrassed.

After all, what Han Cheng said was too demanding!
I don’t know how much money and energy it will take to achieve all these.

At present, it is simply impossible to establish these.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but that's the reality.

Not to mention reaching the standards that Han Cheng mentioned.

It is not easy at present to set up an orphanage in every county and provide only the most basic care.

There are so many things needed here.

Han Cheng said: "Father, these need to be improved step by step.

This is the idea and blueprint behind it
At present, we can come up with a preliminary framework.

It can allow those orphans who have no one to take care of them to have something to eat so that they won’t starve to death on the streets.

It’s already pretty good.

Later, as the Ming Dynasty develops, we can improve it step by step."

Hearing Han Cheng say this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "For now, this is the only way."

Han Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Father, when this is going on, the court must do a good job of supervision!
The inspection must be strict.

There must not be any relaxation.

Never underestimate the evil of human nature.

We must be particularly strict about this matter.

To prevent some people in the orphanage from buying and selling orphans under the guise of rescuing them.

They even used some pretext to make people who were not orphans become orphans...

That made the matter a mess.

Such a good policy has directly turned into an evil policy that harms children.

In addition, abuse and many other things that are not good for children also need to be taken seriously.

All need to be properly regulated.

A similar institution was established during the Song Dynasty.

But the execution was a real mess.

It caused many human tragedies.

They said they were rescuing young children, but in fact they brought even greater disasters to many young children..."

Hearing Han Cheng say this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately nodded solemnly.

He said he had made note of this matter.

I will definitely give this aspect some careful consideration in the future.

"Whoever dares to do this will be killed along with his entire clan!!"

Afterwards, Han Cheng told Zhu Yuanzhang in detail about his idea for the nursing home.

It also includes food, clothing, housing, transportation, and corresponding medical care.

“Of course, this can be an orphanage or a nursing home.

They are all funded by the government and are the final guarantee, which is not the mainstream.

The most important way to provide for the elderly is still to live at home.

The nursing home is just a corresponding auxiliary..."

After hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang said he understood.

However, he also knew clearly how difficult it was to reach the level that Han Cheng mentioned.

In particular, he asked Han Cheng in detail about the conditions of orphanages and nursing homes in later generations.

After learning more about it, Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more fascinated.

I also feel that I have a long way to go.

By the way, with the emergence of things like sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.

And after a large amount of gold and silver materials entered the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang also felt a little proud.

A little complacent.

But now, I once again clearly felt the huge gap between the Ming Dynasty and later generations.

I immediately gave up the idea.

Keep moving forward...

I am also becoming more and more curious about the world in which future generations will live.

I was more and more fascinated. I hoped to go to the future with Han Cheng as soon as possible to see what China was like in the future.

In this way, it can truly be said that one has no regrets in death.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have any doubts after Han Cheng told him all this.

Soon, this matter was arranged.

Moreover, the prince was arranged to be in charge of these matters.

From this arrangement, we can see how much Zhu Yuanzhang loves his eldest son Zhu Biao.

Let the other sons do the hard work outside.

Things like building nursing homes and orphanages were left to Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

On the one hand, it can show how much he, as an emperor, cares about this matter.

On the other hand, these two things can help the prince improve his reputation.

Win the hearts of the people.

After all, if these two things can be put into practice.

Then the improvement in reputation would be enormous.

After all, this is serious good governance!
However, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that food should be eaten bite by bite and the road should be walked step by step.

Although he also attached great importance to this matter.

I also look forward to the day when every county in the Ming Dynasty will have a nursing home and an orphanage.

There is even a nursing home in every township.

What a wonderful thing this will be!
However, he also knew that based on the complexity of the matter.

And the national strength of the Ming Dynasty.

It is impossible to roll these out across the country at once.

We can only take it step by step.

We will first conduct a pilot project in the capital of the Ming Dynasty and its surrounding areas.

After gaining experience, we will then move forward with this side as the center and move towards further places.

We will strive to implement this measure across the country within ten years.

At that time, the Ming Dynasty will definitely have a new look!
……

A huge fleet is sailing on the blue waves.

When on the Yangtze River, the fleet looks huge.

At this time, against the backdrop of the boundless ocean, it seems extremely small.

The white-haired Wang Dayuan sat at the table, holding a pen in his hand, and taking careful notes on the paper.

What he recorded were the things he saw and experienced during his last voyage across the sea.

At the same time, the corresponding nautical chart was also drawn...

He had been doing these things before.

But before, they were all daily records.

No corresponding arrangement was carried out.

At this time, he wants to delete it.

Carry out a more systematic arrangement.

I am planning to write a book with more details about overseas.

Originally, he didn't take these things too seriously.

After all, in his opinion, books are the words of sages.

It involves the way of sages.

It is not something that just anyone can write easily.

But now, with the change of wind direction in the court.

His horizons were also opened.

By the way, if I hadn’t written an article before introducing some overseas situations.

It was seen by His Majesty and others.

I wouldn’t be where I am today.

Let’s take a look at the importance that Your Majesty and others attach to overseas.

He felt more and more that it was very necessary for him to gain more overseas experience.

Write it down.

Be as detailed and accurate as possible.

In this case, it will definitely be of great benefit to the Ming Dynasty in the future.

The nautical charts must also be made extremely detailed.

Try to mark clearly where to go, where there are reefs, where to get water and food, etc.

In this way, when future generations take this route again

It will become much safer.

And influenced by traditional thinking.

When he recorded these things, he was as frugal with words as ever.

If you can describe it with one word, try not to use two words.

However, after meeting this magical figure, Prince Han, Marquis of Xingguo.

However, Prince Consort Han gave him some suggestions and requests.

There is no need to be frugal when recording these things.

The most important thing about these records is that they are detailed and accurate.

As long as it is recorded accurately, it doesn't matter if more words are used to describe it.

Let’s put the literary qualities aside for now.

Accuracy is of utmost importance...

That is why, when he recorded these things this time, he used more words and ink than before.

It is also written in more detail.

But Wang Dayuan did more than just record his own experiences.

At the same time, they would also ask Zheng He, who was traveling with them, and other people about their experiences.

My understanding and insights into some things and many other things are also sorted out and recorded.

Zheng He looked at Wang Dayuan, who was now gray-haired but still working very hard, and felt a deep respect for him.

I feel that in the future, I must take my master as an example.

Do these things well.

Open up the sea borders for the Ming Dynasty.

Bring more good things back to Ming Dynasty.

……

"Your Majesty, you must intervene!"

On the grassland, there was a man who looked quite burly.

A man with a typical Hu hairstyle and a strong smell.

After paying his respects, he spoke to the Mongol Emperor in front of him.

"Now, the Ming Dynasty is particularly abominable!

Those tribes no longer want to exchange the iron pots and other utensils produced by us.

They all went to buy those from the Ming Dynasty.

This will cause big problems!
We in the royal court have obtained much less cattle, sheep and other things..."

Hearing him say this, the Mongol emperor also looked grim.

Furious.

I just think these people are extremely hateful!
As a tribe from the grassland, how could they trade with the Ming Dynasty?

How can you only buy things from the Ming Dynasty and not buy things from the royal court?

If that’s the case, then a large number of cattle and sheep would have been taken away by the Ming people!

Of course, when he was thinking this, he simply ignored it.

How crude are the iron pots and other utensils made by the craftsmen on his side?

How bad is the quality!
It's not even on the same level as what's produced in the Ming Dynasty.

The gap is really too big!

The key is that they have these low-quality tools.

The price is also extremely expensive.

It is more than four or five times that of the Ming Dynasty!

Moreover, if many tribes want to exchange them, they often have to rely on connections!

On the contrary, the items from the Ming Dynasty are both exquisite and cheap.

Under such circumstances, the numerous grassland tribes naturally knew what to choose?

In the past, the Ming Dynasty did not do business with them.

They had no choice but to choose things from their royal court for exchange.

Now, the Ming Dynasty has given them a brand new choice.

They naturally know how to choose...

"unacceptable!
Convey my orders.

No tribe is allowed to exchange things from the Ming Dynasty!
Anyone who disobeys the order can be attacked by the army!"

The emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty took a sip of the fine wine that he had exchanged from the Ming Dynasty.

Decisively issued the order... (End of this chapter)
