"Whenever we reach a period of development, we must know how to summarize and adjust in time. If we start to be complacent just because we have achieved some achievements, then the development will not be sustainable for a long time."

Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair, looked at the piles of documents, and said to the officials in the palace: "During this period, the House of Internal Affairs has worked hard from top to bottom, under pressure, without toiling, checking accounts in various fields.

Since the implementation of the reform, the changes in the northern provinces are obvious to all, especially in the aspects of disaster relief, disaster preparation, and disaster relief, which have formed extremely remarkable results.

Unlike in the past, we deal with sudden disasters passively, and the situation in the disaster-affected areas is often very severe. "

The emperor even mentioned the reform.

Qian Sule, Huang Daozhou and other ministers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, after hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, each showed a different look, which made them taste different signals.

For a long time, the reform reform planned by Emperor Chongzhen has been doing it all the time, using various reasons to implement it, but it has never been proposed from the beginning to the end.

After all, once the name of the new law is introduced, it will inevitably cause many contradictions, which in turn will lead to bad things happening.

This is the experience and lessons that Emperor Chongzhen summed up the implementation of the New Deal in the past dynasties.

In order to carry out the reformation under the rule of Ming Dynasty for a long time, it is necessary to cultivate a talent echelon so that they can move forward alternately.

Since the implementation of the reform and the development of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it can be regarded as the realization of Emperor Chongzhen's conception, and it has also given him hope for the implementation of the new law.

"Do you know which field of long-term change is the most gratifying to me?"

Looking at the ministers with different expressions, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile on his face: "The answer is also obvious, that is, the development of the military industry, and its changes have surprised me.

There was a saying in the past.

What is it called? Even if a country is big and warlike, it will die, and if it is militaristic, it will be in danger.

Is this really the case?

Since the late Wanli Dynasty, because of a rampant Jianlu rebellion, how many losses the country has suffered, I often wonder, what is the reason for this unacceptable status quo? "

"Report to Your Majesty."

Zhang Kentang stepped forward and bowed in response: "It is due to the influence of the corruption of the government that the quality of all kinds of ordnance, firearms, and artillery produced by the company is extremely poor, and the lack of armaments in various places made the state government suppress the rebellion and build captives before. At the same time, they suffered disastrous defeats again and again, causing serious damage to the country."

"Yes, this is indeed an aspect."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded approvingly and said: "The issue of official corruption is a big problem, and rectifying official administration is a matter that the imperial court must pay close attention to.

But that's not what I want to express.

If you want to defeat the enemy on the battlefield and achieve impressive victories, you must have weapons at hand. This is something that Guochao did not do well in the past. "

In Emperor Chongzhen's heart, he knew very well which type of war the future would lean towards. Whether he admitted it or not, the era of cold weapons would eventually be abandoned.

Only by moving towards the era of hot weapons as soon as possible, can the army of the Ming Dynasty gradually transform and become stronger in battle after battle.

"In the past, in order to develop the military industry, I added a lot of burdens to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Emperor Chongzhen lifted up the sleeves of his robe, looked around at the ministers and said: "Every year, a batch of targeted special funds must be distributed to the military industries established in various provinces to ensure the long-term development of these military industries.

Along with the development of this batch of military industries, it indirectly drives the fields of smelting, forging, and mineral mining in various places, and then ensures the development of various places. "

Qian Sule, Huang Daozhou, Zhang Kentang and the others had different thoughts in their hearts.

In the past, many people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not really understand why the emperor spent so much money on the development of the military industry. Isn't this just militarism?
Rather than wasting so much money, it is better to use it for other purposes, even if it is used for disaster relief, it is better than developing the military industry.

However, with the passage of time, especially the gradual rise of the arms trade, some significant changes have been made, and groups that did not understand it all understand it.

Through the development and prosperity of the military industry, it will gradually drive the development of other fields. In this process, more bankrupt groups will be absorbed, and then the scale of local refugees will be reduced. The effect is beyond ordinary people's imagination.

"After this comprehensive investigation, I feel that the financial subsidies for the military industry can be appropriately reduced." Emperor Chongzhen picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said.

"In the next period of time, the existing military industries in various provinces will use their own capabilities to attract orders from the imperial court and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The past period when you could get a large number of orders without too much thinking is gone. If you want to maintain the development of the military industry, you must show competitiveness.

The military industry without strong competitiveness is destined to be eliminated. In the future, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will strengthen its focus on this aspect. "

"The ministers obey the order."

Everyone bowed immediately.

With the implementation of Emperor Chongzhen's plan, the arms trade formed around regional wars such as Liaodong and North Korea, coupled with the demand for refitting within the Ming Dynasty, this also enabled the existing military industry to gradually develop and grow by relying on normal order demand. stand up.

The internal finance under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the financial support to be carried out is more of an incubating role. If you want to maintain the healthy development of the supported fields, you must be competitive.

Sitting and eating, this is something that Emperor Chongzhen must put an end to.

"In the coming period, the internal financial support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will focus on smelting, shipbuilding and other fields." Emperor Chongzhen said with a serious expression, looking at everyone.

"Just like in the field of smelting, different types of smelting plants are planned to produce various types of iron materials, steel products, etc. according to actual needs.

What I want is a diverse field industry, not a single field industry.

There is still a long way to go for Daming to achieve ZTE and truly rise. The responsibilities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are far from being as simple as managing court affairs.

No matter what the government and the opposition say, you group of ministers in charge must understand this in your heart.

Those who can help me achieve ZTE and ensure that the country can move forward steadily, that is Daming's shoulder, and that is my pillar of talent.

In the next period of time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will draw up a plan as soon as possible according to the various documents that have been sorted out, and follow the direction I stated, and submit it to the imperial court! "
