Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 611 River Administration Construction (1)

Standardized flowing water production is the biggest difference between the agricultural economy and the industrial economy. Under the intervention of Emperor Chongzhen, some areas of the Ming Dynasty are on the road to primitive industrialization.

Perhaps this primitive industrialization was unbalanced and unreasonable, but the emergence of this form promoted corresponding changes in Ming Dynasty.

Just like the production of a 'self-generated gun', the cost in Daming can be controlled at 1 tael, but in Jianlu, the cost may be 2 taels, or even 3 taels.

This is the formation of the industry gap.

Although in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, the existing standardized flow production in Daming is still very backward, most of them are still mainly manual, and very few are supplemented by equipment, but even so, it is far beyond Jianlu The small workshop production mode prepared.

Once the gap between the two sides is formed, as long as the dominant side does not take the initiative to make strategic mistakes, as time goes by and precipitation, this gap will become larger and larger. By then, the war will evolve into a one-sided situation.

"Recently, the proportion of gunpowder dumped by Tianjin's military industry to Liao has increased by more than 5% compared to before."

Emperor Chongzhen flipped through the memorabilia, frowned and said to Wang Chengen: "Send someone to the military plane to ask about the situation of the battle in the Liao area, and see if there is any progress in the south of Liao."

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Wang Chengen bowed immediately.

The dumping of arms against Liao and the arms race against Jianlu, although the corresponding powers were transferred to Tianjin to enhance the development of Tianjin, but Tianjin had to submit secret reports regularly so that Emperor Chongzhen could understand the corresponding changes and then adjust the domain strategy.

If the arms dumping and arms race can be done well, it will be far more practical than how many soldiers die on the battlefield to win the corresponding battle situation.

"In addition, send someone to Xishan. I have agreed to prepare the Armed Forces Academy and plan to build a military industry in the Fangshan area." Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said.

"However, when it comes to matters such as safety and confidentiality, we must strictly refer to Xishan's model, and there is no possibility of any leaks.

Especially the new gun industry line, which is the top secret of Ming Dynasty. If it involves the big battle planned in the future, if it dares to leak the slightest bit, no matter who is involved, the Yi tribe! "

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Chengen worshiped again.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if he can effectively get rid of the shackles of the "ratio of control over wealth and power", he can mobilize all available resources to devote himself to the development of a certain field. This is something that no one under the rule of the Ming Dynasty has. Privilege, this is also the righteousness advocated by the emperor.

Relying on the solid foundation accumulated in the past, Emperor Chongzhen did not have to worry about money, which also allowed Emperor Chongzhen to take advantage of some areas related to national defense and security.

Looking at the back of Wang Chengen's departure, Emperor Chongzhen showed a little smile on his face. Compared with the passive situation at the beginning, the active advantage he now occupies is too obvious.

Especially the recent changes in the court, and the turmoil in the court, did not affect the operation of Daming at all, which also made him more determined to follow the path of primitive industrialization.

"My lord, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the governor Hedao Nanju would like to see you." The eunuch Cao Huachun, the supervisor of ceremonies, hurried into the hall and saluted with a respectful expression.

"Xuan."

Emperor Chongzhen said concisely.

River politics management is a problem that Da Ming must face directly. Whether it is to stabilize the region or to develop the region, if Da Ming's river politics management has ups and downs, it will delay the development of Daming.

Nan Juyi walked into the hall, followed by more than a dozen eunuchs of the inner court, holding a lot of maps and documents, which made Emperor Chongzhen stand up immediately.

"It's all on the floor."

Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said, "Nanqing, how are the several river channel governor's yamen that have been set up now summarizing the areas under their respective jurisdictions, such as the exploration of river beds and channels?"

"Report to Your Majesty, basically everything has been summarized."

Nan Juyi clasped his hands and said: "Under the rule of the northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, we have set up several river governor's yamen, and with the cooperation of the disaster relief agencies in various places, we have made great progress.

Many prevarications in the past have been implemented accordingly, including many changes in the location of the riverbed, all of which have been clarified accordingly..."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled more on his face.

The complexity and variability of river politics are beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and there are more levels involved, especially on the local government side.

The management of major waters such as the Yellow River, the Canal, and the Huaihe River involves not one province but multiple provinces, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of governance.

Listening to what Nan Juyi reported, watching more than a dozen eunuchs of the inner court knelt on the ground to piece together maps, and Emperor Chongzhen looked at the distribution of the waters above.

"The governance work of river administration is an overall overall governance process."

Emperor Chongzhen frowned, and said with a serious expression: "As in the past, if you have a headache and a foot, no matter how much money is thrown in, 1000 million taels, 2000 million taels, when it should be flooded, it will still be flooded. When the embankment breaks, it will still break the embankment.

After all, most of the river governance money went into private pockets where the imperial court could not see it, and became the stolen money of some corrupt officials who were content with pleasure.

The situation will be different if the corresponding powers of river political management are centralized and allocated to specific government offices directly under the jurisdiction of specific government offices according to the distribution of water areas, and local governments along the way are allowed to assist. "

Nan Juyi nodded and replied: "It is indeed such a situation. In the past, the imperial court set up a main river to manage the river affairs of the whole country. In many cases, it could not be managed at all.

The waters that are mainly responsible for are the waters of the Yellow River. After all, once the Yellow River floods, it will affect many places.

As for waters such as the canal and the Huaihe River, most of them are concentrated in the hands of the governors and governors of various places. The decentralization of river control authority and the different ideas of each person will cause many differences.

But now it is different.

The governance of the waters of the Yellow River is the responsibility of the Governor Yamen for the governance of the Yellow River.

The governance of the Huaihe River waters is the responsibility of the Huaihe Governor's Yamen.

Governance of the canal waters is the responsibility of the governor's yamen for governance of the canal.

If there is any matter that needs to be coordinated and discussed among these river control governors' yamen, they can refer to the river control outline and conduct corresponding meetings and discussions. "

Talents in river administration are the most scarce in all dynasties, and they are also the most important. Because the river administration is not clear, it will shake the foundation of the rule, which also makes Emperor Chongzhen pay special attention to this matter.

Since the end of the second year of Chongzhen, the river administration training mechanism that has been actively prepared has been selecting and cultivating talents, which has gradually filled up the river governance governors' offices in various places.
