After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 113 Soup and Whaling
"This person is either a great sage, or a great traitor!" Gao Qi said, "Because any new policy can change the fate of the Ming Dynasty. If it is implemented well, he is a great sage, saving the world and seeking well-being for the people. If it is not implemented well, He is a great treacherous and evil, bringing disaster to the country and the people."

"These two strategies have hit the rights and interests of the landlords and the gentry, and lightened the burden of the people. The original intention is to be kind to the people." Liu Bowen said, "I just don't know if these two new policies can withstand the opposition of the gentry. "

"The southwest is remote, and the power of the gentry is very weak. I am sure that the emperor's two new policies will definitely be implemented." Gao Qidao, "That person chose the southwest for the trial implementation of the new policy, which is really great wisdom."

"The gentry in the southwest really have no ability to resist the New Deal." Song Lian sighed.

"I believe that in less than a year, the southwest will definitely change greatly!" Lu Chang sighed, "It is a move that has never been done before, so I am not sure that the taxation of the imperial court will increase by then. Still less."

"But whether it is a traitor or a virtuous person, that person must be a great talent." Liu Bowen said, "This person's intelligence is much higher than ours."

Hearing this, the crowd fell silent.

Although they were reluctant to admit it, the fact was in front of them that 'that person' was a little bit smarter than them.

When scholars are humble, they often say that this person's talent is ten times higher than mine. Compared with him, he is like the stars are better than the moon, and the horse is better than the unicorn, but they didn't say it at the moment.

Such words can be said when they are humble, but when they are telling the truth, they don't say it.

"In Daming, such a scholar and a great talent in governing the country appeared out of thin air. I really don't know whether it is a disaster or a blessing. And I don't even know who he taught or who he is from." After a long time, Song Lian said, "Although I have never known before. We met, but we, the little famous Confucian scholars, have been hanged up and beaten by him all the time."

Previously, on the issue of the replacement of the dynasty, they were completely refuted by the emperor in the courtroom.

Song Lian, because he lost his position as the prince's grandfather.

The emperor's move to sell words increased the treasury by [-] million taels, filling the Ming treasury in a very short time.

All of these things, they can't do it.

And now, Zhu Yuanzhang has directly bypassed them and implemented the New Deal.

"I really want to see how holy that person is!" Liu Bowen said.

"And Mu Ying also attacked those barbarian chieftains and let the Han people control the barbarians. In this way, the population of the southwest will increase a lot. Coupled with the disaster victims in Shandong, the immigrants will be eaten, and the southwest will soon develop." Lu Chang said.

"When the time comes, it will affect the whole country, and it will be difficult for other places to stop it."

"Your Majesty and that person are playing a big game of chess!"

"According to the news from the household registration officer of the Ministry of Households, the southwest is implementing the practice of dividing the fields into the acre, and the gentry will be serving as the errands to pay the grain. The people of the nearby provinces are flocking to the southwest one after another." Lu Chang, the secretary of the Ministry of Household, said, "even the surrounding areas. People in the province all want to marry their daughters to Sichuan. I believe it won't be long before the population of the three southwestern provinces will explode."

"People in the world, who doesn't want to run to a place with good policies?"

"In the prefectures and counties around the southwest, there is even a strange phenomenon of robbing young men in the southwest to be their son-in-law."

"At that time, the southwest will be rich, and the south will be poor again."

"As the population flows to the southwest, the economy of the south will be affected, and officials in the south will not watch them pass by."

"Let's wait and see, the emperor will fight with the southern officials."

……

The prime minister, Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong were also discussing the matter in secret.

They represent the Huaixi Party, and most of Huaixi's military generals only know how to fight, and it is impossible to discuss with them.Therefore, only Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong were negotiated.

"Although the emperor's two measures are only implemented in the three southwestern provinces, they have already affected the entire Ming Dynasty." Li Shan said, "There is even a migration tide of southern populations moving to the southwest!"

"In the long run, the southwest will become a rich land, and the south will become a barren land."

"We have to propose to the emperor and decree to stop the immigration of the people."

"Don't you see it? The emperor is determined to implement the new policy." Li Shan said long, "So we made a memorial, not only did it have no effect, but it would cause a lot of trouble."

"We have to at least show our attitude." Hu Weiyong said.

Then the two went to see the emperor, but as Li Shanchang expected, their interview had the opposite effect.

Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not prevent people from migrating, but encouraged them, and even relaxed the household registration system.

Let the people cross the road no longer need a guide!
Zhu Yuanzhang thought so, anyway, it will be implemented nationwide in the end.Are you not rich in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?Isn't the power of the gentry great?The people have all moved away, let's see who you gentry go to exploit.

It is their right that the people want to emigrate, and the court must not interfere.

Although Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich, the rich are the gentry, not the common people.

The common people heard that there is no poll tax in the Southwest, the gentry no longer have privileges, and it is normal for them to run away.

When you see that all the people are gone, and you are anxious, you will take the initiative to ask us to implement the new policy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Only when you treat the people well will the people come back. Since ancient times, the people's hearts have been hard to deceive.

"Your Majesty, the three provinces in the southwest have all resumed production. Including the Miao Man and Yi Man in the deep mountains, they all belong to my Daming and are under the jurisdiction of Daming officials, and production has also resumed in the barbarian areas."

"My lord, the population of the three southwestern provinces has skyrocketed. The population of all regions has immigrated there one after another. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the population of the southwest has reached 5000 million!"

"The population of the southwest even exceeds that of Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"Everyone in the southwest lives and works in peace and contentment, and everyone praises His Majesty as the sage of the ages. The people are prosperous, the price of rice has dropped, and the whole population has become prosperous. The tax paid is ten times that of previous years."

"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard the words, "We will conduct a special test in the southwest region, and we will promote talents in the southwest."

……

The endless waters of the Japanese Sea.

After half a month's voyage, Tang He and his fleet entered the vast Japanese Sea after leaving Xiandao in Yingzhou.It has been several days, and the crowd is very frustrated.

The entire fleet consists of ten 'Hongwu Treasure Ships', each 150 meters long and 40 meters wide.

At this time, Daming's navigation technology was very mature, and the use of transoceanic star-crossing and sextant can already be accurate to one degree of latitude.In the fleet, there are also two old fishermen as staff officers.

They are very good at observing sea conditions and wind direction.

"puff!"

At this moment, a huge fountain suddenly spewed out from the sea.

Immediately afterwards, a huge wave broke out on the sea surface, a huge swallowtail protruded from the sea surface, and a behemoth appeared.That thing is so big that the crowd can only see part of its body on the Hongwu Treasure Ship.

"It's the god of the sea, it's the god of the sea!!!" Seeing this, the old fisherman immediately knelt down on the side of the boat and prayed to the sky.
