Chapter 415

With the current social productivity of the Ming Dynasty, it is not enough for the imperial court to distribute money, build schools, and build orphanages on a large scale.

Insufficient resources can only be obtained from the outside.

And the previous conquests of Goryeo, Japan, and Uzbek had very obvious effects, and the Ming Dynasty all gained huge benefits.

Food, gold and silver stocks, and the people's sense of belonging.

The huge benefits obtained from the outside have allowed Zhu Yuanzhang to let go of his hands and feet and implement more policies to benefit the people.

Even, the salaries of officials in the DPRK and China have been raised.

Before the large-scale cultivation of potatoes, the domestic productivity of Daming was even lower, which was appallingly low.

The yields of rice, wheat and other grains are all low.

The yield per mu is only about [-] catties.

Once there is a natural disaster, the people will starve to death.

However, after large-scale planting of potatoes, the current situation of people starving to death at every turn has been solved, but it is far from enough.

It is estimated that only when hybrid rice is bred, the people will really have no worries about food and clothing.

Social productivity, to achieve a leap-forward improvement.

Although the steam turbine invented by Qin Yu has now been applied to Daming's textile industry, which has allowed Daming's textile industry to develop unprecedentedly, but it is for clothing, and clothing is far less important than food.

The low productivity of the society and the fact that the people were on the brink of starvation all their lives was also the reason why the ancient feudal dynasties could not be strong and long-lasting.

If domestic wealth is not enough, it can only be made up by plundering from outside.

The ministers are well aware of this.

But no one objected. After all, every time the generals who fought abroad occupied a country, they had to raise their salaries.Now those generals are their God of Wealth in the eyes of civil officials.

"After the above three basic policies for governing the country are announced to the world, let all provinces implement them as soon as possible." Zhu Yuanzhang said

"In addition, we will select generals for the Southwest campaign based on the campaign strategy they submitted."

"Disperse!"

The whole day of court meeting is finally over.

The feet of all the ministers were numb.

But after the court was over, the crowd was still discussing one by one.Because the emperor announced three major events today, one is to expedition to the southwest, the other is to open a school, and the third is to open an orphanage.

Every thing is big.

No small matter.

It is closely related to the lives of the people of Ming Dynasty.

A small decision of the imperial court will cause changes in the world, let alone a big policy?

However, what the ministers are more willing to discuss is who will lead the troops to go out, after all, they will be able to raise their wages if they win.Therefore, the main topic of discussion after they dispersed was who would be the safer choice.

……

The other courtiers were free to chat there, but Liu Bowen was not free.

He now has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, not only to manage the Jixia Academy, but also to supervise the officials and clean up those black apples.

So as soon as he made his obeisance, he avoided the crowd and hurried back to the Earl's Mansion.

"Father, your face is ugly. Could it be that you are sick? Do you want your son to invite a doctor?" As soon as he entered the earl's mansion, his son Liu Lian saw his father stumbling and floating.

"It's okay, it's tiring for my father." Liu Bowen said, sitting down on the chair.

Liu Lian hurriedly handed him a cup of tea to relieve his fatigue.

"Father is over [-] years old this year, and the court meeting has been held all day." Liu Lian said, "I'd better go find a doctor for my father. Now the doctor's family has moved into the Jixia Academy, and Qihuang sages from all over the world are there."

"Let them come and take a look, it will definitely make father better."

"The current School of Medicine, in order to strengthen its reputation and recruit more students, there are many Xinglin masters. They all carry out free clinics in Yingtianfu City, so it is very convenient to find them."

"I've said it all, as a father, it's not a disease, it's tiredness." Liu Bowen said, "Usual medical treatment is useless, probably only the art of health preservation will be useful."

"Father is the vice-principal of Jixia Academy, so it's okay to ask the sloppy fairy, one of the three sages, some health-preserving techniques?" Liu Lian said.

"Ask him for advice on how to preserve one's health?" Liu Bowen smiled wryly, "Although my father is the deputy dean, it is difficult to see a sloppy fairy. Do you think he is easy to meet as the three sages?"

"Last time, after he preached to the students for several hours, he drifted away, because the father didn't even see his face."

"Do you think that the vice-principal can meet someone like the Sloppy Immortal at will? He is a dragon who sees his head but never sees his end. When he sees him, he must pay attention to luck. Before the Jixia Academy was established, it was difficult for the emperor to see him."

"Hey!" Liu Lian sighed, "It's hard to even meet the three sages, let alone the dean."

"That's right." Liu Bowen sighed, "The two of them don't seem to be people in this world."

"Is father better now?" Liu Lian asked.

"Being a father is not physically tiring. I stand and listen to the court meeting all day, thinking that my father's physique can still support it. After all, being a father is not so old." Liu Bowen said, "Being a father is heart-tiring."

"Why are you tired?" Liu Lian asked in surprise.

"The emperor once again entrusted me with the burden of Jixia Academy, letting me manage Jixia Academy, and the hundreds of scholars. He also entrusted me with the burden of monitoring the censors, and asked me to clean up those black sheep." Liu Bowen said. , "These two are very important positions, and they should be held by two people."

"So there are two important things that need to be done urgently for my father. One is to go to Jixia Academy to hold a meeting, so that everyone can send people to each province to establish colleges, and let farmers cultivate new varieties."

"The second is to send supervisory censors to various provinces to find out the black sheep, and even go there in person, and then impose severe punishments."

Liu Bowen is now the boss of the two departments.

He needs to take care of the affairs of the two departments, so he feels tired.Feeling exhausted and powerless.

"The emperor entrusts father with such a heavy responsibility, it proves that the emperor values ​​father, and father should be happy." Liu Lian said.

"What do you value?" Liu Bowen said angrily, "I'm almost exhausted as a father."

"Actually Weifu has long wanted to resign from the position of Yushi Zhongcheng, but he didn't bring it up because even if Weifu proposed it, the emperor would not agree."

Although there are many talents in the world, and many people can be found who are qualified for the position of Yushi Zhongcheng, Zhu Yuanzhang seems to use him easily, and he doesn't want to change easily.

"My son thought that my father wanted to resign from the position of vice president of Jixia Academy." Liu Lian said, "After all, my father has been serving as Yushi Zhongcheng before, and the vice president of Jixia Academy has just been appointed."

There is another reason why Liu Lian didn't say that Jixia Academy is so brilliant, and Liu Bowen's reputation is not enough to make everyone admire him.In the final analysis, Liu Bowen was just offering wine to the Yin Yang family.

Far less than the three sages.
