Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 666 Promise
Taichang is such a person, whoever treats him well, he will repay double, and whoever treats him badly, he will also repay double.

The same is true for his governance of the country. Whoever really has a heart for Daming and regards himself as a citizen of Daming, he will try every means to make him live a good life.

He will deal with anyone who wants to make things difficult for Daming.

Jianu wanted to take over Daming's country, so he killed Jianu directly.

The Japanese Japanese pirates in Dongying were ambitious and had been spying on the vast rivers and mountains of Daming, so he also wiped out Dongying.

The European colonial bandits wanted to turn Ming Dynasty into their colony, so he robbed them of all their colonies, and chased them all the way to America.

If possible, he would go to Europe to wipe out these colonial robbers directly!
This is his principle.

Now, the Indian tribes all know how to be grateful, and they all regard themselves as the people of Daming, so he has to find ways to make them live a better life.

The question is, how to let people live a good life, relying solely on the development of planting and animal husbandry?

There is no problem in solving food and clothing.

However, in order to live a truly good life, it is really not enough to rely solely on planting and animal husbandry.

To put it bluntly, these two jobs are physical labor, and farming is quite tiring without enough mechanical farming.

As for the breeding industry, basically machines can't help much, at least at this moment it is unlikely to develop a special machine for the breeding industry.

At this moment, most of the farming industry has to rely on manpower.

For example, herding cattle and sheep.

There is no machine that can replace this kind of thing, and people can only watch it day and night, regardless of the sun or rain.

In fact, this is nothing.

Animal husbandry seems to be herding cattle and sheep. It seems to be very easy, but if it is really scaled up, it will be more tiring than farming.

If a family raises thousands or even tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, it can really exhaust a person.

Not to mention anything else, just the excrement in these livestock pens has to be cleaned every day, it is a mountain of excrement!

Also, delivery of cubs is exhausting.

If you let it go, the survival rate will be low, and the loss of a few cubs will be heavy.

If you want to take care of it, you have to keep an eye on it all the time. It's not a lot for a cub to work for a few hours. Delivering hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of cubs will not be exhausting!
Therefore, both the planting industry and the breeding industry are tiring jobs.

Unless the technology can be developed to the high level of later generations, and machinery can be used to replace manpower as much as possible, otherwise, there will be no great gains for individuals who are exhausted.

Just like now, the Indian tribe has 700 million people planting more than 8000 million acres of land, and looking at hundreds of millions of acres of pastures is tiring enough.

How much can they gain?

If Daming doesn't help, each of them won't earn a tael of silver a year on average!
Even if Daming helps, how much can they increase their income?
All their surplus food was bought for them, counting as 2000 million shi, it was only [-] million taels.

They also bought all the raw cowhide they produced, counting 1000 million pieces a year, which is only 500 million taels.

In other words, their current annual income from planting and animal husbandry is only 500 million taels, not counting the freight.

Twenty-five million taels were divided among sixty-seven million people. On average, each person was a little more than four taels of silver.

This is all the income they can earn for a year of busy work.

After a year of hard work, each person earns four taels of silver on average, is that much?
Replaced by the algorithm of later generations, that is, the per capita annual income is more than 2000 yuan, which is abject poverty!

The question is, how to make them rich?

Let them plant more land and raise more cattle, sheep and horses. This is a way.

But this is not a good way.

They now have more than 50 mu of land per capita, and a family of four has more than [-] mu of land, and they have to herd cattle and horses, which is almost the limit of manpower.

If you want them to grow more land, you have to hire people for them or help them build a lot of farming machinery.

This all takes time, and not just a little time.

It is not easy to hire people if they want to. Now, Da Ming needs labor everywhere, even if they are willing to hire people, they will not be able to hire too many people.

Unless you help them transport labor to Africa.

The problem is that Da Ming doesn't have any plans to explore Africa at the moment, and it's impossible to realize it in such a short period of time.

The rest seems to be to help them manufacture a large number of farming machinery.

The problem is that this thing can't be created casually, nor can it be created by an individual.

If you want to build farming machinery, workshops, machine tools, and skilled workers are all necessary.

There is no rush for these.

Daming himself is short of farming machinery right now, so help them build it, so when will we wait?

Taichang was sitting there frowning and thinking, when Cao Huachun suddenly walked in and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Mr. Peng Bin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, please see me."

This guy is finally back!

Taichang immediately waved his hand and said, "Quick, pass it on."

Soon, Peng Bin walked in quickly, cupped his hands and bowed: "My humble servant sees the emperor."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked impatiently, "Yan Ru, how is the canal going?"

This water and land transportation is too important to the development of the locality. It is said that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Even if the roads are not accessible, it is naturally difficult to get rich.

Peng Bin was taken aback when he heard this.

How about this?

He froze for a moment, then said carefully: "Your Majesty, do you have a map of North America?"

Of course there is.

With a wave of Taichang's hand, Cao Huachun took out a roll of North American map and unfolded it on the desk in front of him.

He immediately waved his hand and said, "Come on, Yan Ru, tell me well."

Peng Bin hurriedly bowed forward, pointed to the map and introduced: "Your Majesty, now the rivers connecting the new Dongting Lake, New Qingcao Lake, New Poyang Lake and New Pengze Lake have been sorted out and can be navigated.

Canals were built to connect the places where the rivers of the four great lakes were not connected. Therefore, the water systems of the four great lakes are considered connected, and there is no problem for merchant ships with a pass of about [-] materials.

At the same time, the channel between Xinqingcao Lake and Xinliao River has been dredged, and now large merchant ships can go upstream from Xinliaoyang City, directly along the main road of Xinliao River, pass Qingliao River, and enter the water system of the four major lakes. "

very good!

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help nodding and said: "Thank you for your hard work. It is really not easy to connect the four major lakes and the Xinliao River so quickly."

Peng Bin was quite embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, these are actually nothing, because these places are almost connected by natural rivers, and there are very few places that need to build canals, so I organized people to clean up the rivers. The real canals have not been dug. How many.

However, this new Taihu Lake is a bit troublesome.

Because the height of the new Taihu Lake is thirty or forty feet different from the other four major lakes.

There was originally a river channel between Xintai Lake and New Pengze Lake, but there were several waterfalls in the middle of the river channel, so it was impossible to sail.

Moreover, there is no way to build a canal between the two great lakes.

Weichen has no choice but to dredge the river between Xintai Lake and Yishui River, so that Xintai Lake and the ocean to the west can be connected first. "

Uh, the height of the water surface is hundreds of meters apart, so it is indeed impossible to build a canal, at least not yet.

In the future, a huge ship lock can be built, and there may be a way.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked again: "What about the traffic between the east coast and the west coast, I heard that you have already solved it."

Peng Bin quickly pointed to the map and introduced: "Yes, Your Majesty, I ordered people to build the railway from the capital of Eastern Yin all the way to the Yishui River, and from the Yishui River to the south along the east coast. It will soon reach Dongqi Country.

Now the traffic between the east coast and west coast of the North American continent should not be a big problem, but the capacity may not be enough. "

It's pretty good to be able to do this for more than a year.

Taichang nodded slightly, and then asked again: "Yan Ru, what are you busy with these days, You Ping even said he couldn't see you."

Hearing this, Peng Bin quickly pointed to the location where the open-pit iron mine was discovered and said, "Your Majesty, isn't there a huge open-pit iron mine here? It's been mined now, but it's still a long time before the mined iron ore is transported to Liaoyang City." not convenient.

Therefore, Weichen is organizing people to build a railway there, using the railway to connect both ends of the iron ore with Xinliao River and Xindongting Lake, so that it will be much more convenient to transport iron ore. "

Open pit iron mine?

By the way, he promised at the beginning that all the mineral deposits discovered in the North American continent will be jointly exploited by Daming and Indian tribes, and the profits will be split in half.

If this profit is distributed to others, the Indian tribe will soon be able to make a fortune.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "After these mineral deposits are mined, it's still not worth the money, right?"

Peng Bin nodded slightly and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, the open-pit iron mine and open-pit coal mine have not been fully developed at this moment, and there are no household officials here, so we didn't count the money. Just use it."

It's definitely not going to work in such a muddle-headed way.

It seems that the original promise should be fulfilled.

The people of the Indian tribe are interesting enough, he is interesting enough, and they will share half of the profits of various mines, including gold mines!
