Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 636
If you want to actively develop primitive industrialization, you must let the groups involved in it see the wealth that is enough to make them jealous.

At present, around Beizhili, Shandong and other places, mainly state-owned factories under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, supplemented by local disaster relief agencies, are actively developing primitive industrialization, especially involving the textile industry, smelting industry, shipbuilding industry, colored glaze and other industries, the most rapid development momentum.

Regarding the current development trend, Emperor Chongzhen was no longer satisfied with opening Tianjin to the outside world. He gathered a large number of maritime merchants from European countries to gather and sell tea, silk, porcelain and other trade transactions northward through the Grand Canal. Emperor Chongzhen wanted to earn more. A lot of silver.

The past changes in the Liao region, especially the value created by the Liaodong rebel army led by Li Zicheng through the military industry established in Tianjin, made Emperor Chongzhen turn his attention to North Korea, which is adjacent to the Liao region.

"If you want to plunder wealth wantonly, and then actively develop the industrial field, then the dividends brought by the military industry will be great."

Emperor Chongzhen stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the map hanging in front of him, and fixed his eyes on the direction of the Korean Peninsula, "The Armed Forces Academy, a gold-swallowing beast, invests too much money every year, so we must try to find more sources of income, otherwise we want to expand the scale The chemical workshop is too difficult.

If North Korea can be gradually controlled, and then used as a springboard to lay a solid foundation for the future construction of the Ming Navy to conquer Wa Island, then the gold and silver stored in Wa Island can be gradually transferred to Daming to promote the reforms in Daming and make it more intensive. preparations for the construction of industrial workshops. "

It is something that Emperor Chongzhen will definitely do to let the Ming Dynasty return to the great voyage. The naval power that the Ming Dynasty plans to build will inevitably move from the offshore to the ocean, and then escort the various groups of the Ming Dynasty who go to sea, and at the same time seize strategically important places on the sea. , to build the Ming Dynasty's ocean protection barrier, and lay the foundation for the overseas transfer of vassals to be promoted in the future.

Just developing sea power is not as simple as developing an army. If you want to have a certain competitiveness, you must first have a solid foundation. This is not only as simple as building sea warships, the warship artillery listed is also very important , an efficient naval backbone is equally important.

Faced with so many problems and bottlenecks, before overcoming them one by one, let the group headed by Zheng Zhilong, Wu Sangui, Zu Zerun and other groups, and even the Jing Xun Qi group be resettled in batches to Liuqiu Town and other southeast coastal areas. To ensure the stability of Daming's coastal waters, stabilize Daming's coastal trade, appropriately give up part of the benefits, and then buy time to develop maritime power, these are the things that Emperor Chongzhen has been doing.

When the emerging naval power of Ming Dynasty can truly conquer North Korea and Wajima successively, and gradually turn the above-mentioned areas into dumping grounds of Ming Dynasty, and its territories in the true sense, then Ming Dynasty will be able to expand from the offshore and gradually move towards the ocean. Tilted in order.

The meal should be eaten one bite at a time.

Emperor Chongzhen always believed in one thing in his heart. No matter how strong his personal power is, it will not be able to compare with the development of a dynasty. As long as there is enough time for development, the difficulties encountered can be continuously reduced. Can aggressively enter the Southeast Asian countries.

……

Kunning Palace.

"Your Majesty, the concubine feels that the status of the head of the country should not be a job in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Empress Zhou was sitting on a stone bench, looking at Emperor Chongzhen with a slight frown, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of court affairs. Since the Huitong Ticket Number has been transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is time to withdraw, otherwise the government and the public..."

"Queen, don't worry so much."

Emperor Chongzhen held Zhu Cixuan in his arms, and said with a smile: "How the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are arranged and promoted are not under the jurisdiction of the outer court, that is my family business.

The Hutong ticket account can have today's development momentum, and the role played by Guozhang is not small. There is a folk saying that goes, kill the donkey after killing the mill.

If I want to do this, it will be bad after all.

As far as the current development of Huitong Ticket Number is concerned, there are some things that cannot be separated from Guozhang, and the field of operation he is in charge of can be said to be a very important existence. "

As he said that, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Li Dingguo and Zheng Sen who were playing with Zhu Cihong, and the smile on his face increased a lot.

With the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the internal affairs that were previously managed by Queen Zhou were also handed over to the Qianliang Yamen, so Queen Zhou no longer had to work as hard as before.

In the past, Emperor Chongzhen was worried that he would not be able to separate himself and that there would be mistakes in the money stored in his internal funds, so he asked Empress Zhou to share some of the pressure for him.

Now the power framework of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, especially the supervision system, is being gradually improved. This has helped Emperor Chongzhen relieve a lot of pressure, and also allowed Emperor Chongzhen to spend more time in the harem.

Looking at the smiling Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou who was sitting by the side, she still wanted to persuade her, but it was hard to say anything when the words came to her lips.

Regarding the establishment of the House of Internal Affairs, Empress Zhou did not understand in her heart. There are obviously twelve supervisors, four divisions and eight bureaus in the inner court. Why do they need to create a House of Internal Affairs and promote a group of civil servants separately to be grouped under the system of the House of Internal Affairs? , which clearly makes the relationship between the inner court and the outer court more acute.

However, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Although there is some misunderstanding, Empress Zhou still abides by this rule and doesn't say anything else.

"Your Majesty, according to what you said earlier, all the maids in the harem who are 28 years old and above have been registered one by one. According to the length of time in the palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will issue a sum of money."

Empress Zhou thought for a while, then looked at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "However, there are quite a few of these court ladies. How to arrange these court ladies, please Your Majesty can decide as soon as possible."

"I've thought about it all."

Emperor Chongzhen held Zhu Cixuan in his arms and said, "I will select a group of unmarried generals of the right age in the Beijing camp, and let both parties choose. Only when the two parties agree, I will marry you.

From now on, the maids under the jurisdiction of the inner court will all be handled according to this system. If the maids who are 28 years old and above fail to be promoted, they will be given out money from the palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be responsible for arranging their provenance.

As for the female officials in the harem, those who wanted to leave the harem should follow the established rules. After all, the Forbidden City was not their destination. "

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it for a long time to clearly condemn the dispatch of palace maids of the right age. He is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, but he couldn't let a group of people who entered the palace with their dreams stay locked in this cold deep palace backyard for the rest of their lives. After all, there are only a few who are favored, and the remaining majority still have to arrange their way out.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to be murdered by a group of resentful court ladies one day, not to mention letting these batches of court ladies in the Forbidden City give marriages to middle and low-level generals and schools in the Beijing camp, it can also win over this group of young men. No matter from which point of view, this is beneficial to Emperor Chongzhen.

Some etiquettes must be followed, but some must be changed.

Empress Zhou was a little suspicious, she didn't expect Emperor Chongzhen to make such an arrangement, if this matter was known to the ministers of the Foreign Court, it would probably cause quite a controversy.

After all, this matter is not a good decision for etiquette.

"My lord, the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department are asking to see you."

Just when Empress Zhou was about to say something, Wang Chengen, who hurried over, bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "According to the memorials received by the military aircraft office, something happened on the nine sides."
