Daming heir

Chapter 439 War Is a Derivative of Politics

Daming is kind.

Absolutely benevolent, there is no doubt about that.

But when Daming needs something, then you just breathe, and it's wrong.

This point has gradually become a consensus among the new generation of royal children.

Today's Daming extends from steam engines to trains and railways, so the original steel production of Daming has become in short supply.The advantages of trains and railways undoubtedly far outweigh the current disadvantages, so Daming needs more steel to supply the development of this business.

Thus, the problem arises, and the need arises.

Therefore, the Japanese country is guilty, and the Japanese workers are more urgently needed.

The answer to this question is that Ming Dynasty needs to use political and military power to promote the construction of trains and railways.

Then war becomes an inevitable necessity.

The logic is established, the reasons are sufficient, and it cannot be refuted.

As for what will happen to the Japanese Congress, what will happen to the enemies under the iron hooves of the Southern Expedition Army and the guns, this is not within the scope of consideration of the new generation of rulers of Ming Dynasty.

But among the young power participants, it is necessary to ensure that there are people who hold opposing opinions and voices of opposition.

Zhu Gaochi played such a role perfectly.

When members of the third generation of the royal family became eager for military merit, he acted as the calmest opponent.

"The imperial court is now vigorously regulating the course of the Yellow River, costing tens of millions. Preparations for the other two new cement roads that Xie Jin proposed at the beginning have also begun preparations, which also cost a lot.

There is also the north-south expedition that has been going on for the past few years, and the innovations in the current government require a lot of money and food.

It's just that the imperial court's revenue has increased a lot in the past few years, but... at this time, the imperial court may find it difficult to support Cao Guogong's military strategy against Japan. "

Zhu Gaochi's tone was very calm, and he pointed out several major expenditures and difficulties of the imperial court today.

The military strategy of the Wa Kingdom was able to provide Daming with a steady stream of Japanese workers, as well as other gold and silver mines in the Wa Kingdom reported by the Suppressing Wo Army.

But these can only be obtained after occupying the entire territory of Wa Kingdom.Before that, the imperial court still had to pay unpredictable money and food to supply the real Japanese army on the front line.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Xiaohan, who was shining today, and his eyes signaled the other party to continue breaking the game.

Zhu Shangbing lived up to expectations, and looked at Xiaopang with a calm expression: "Brother Chi, now the court is implementing the law of military merit, and the soldiers are eager to fight. With the army of suppressing Japanese in front, our army does not have to worry about the situation on the front line being unclear." .

As for food and grass consumption, this year's Northern Expedition is almost over.The warehouses in Huai'an Mansion also transported the grain and grass brought back from Jiaozhi Road last year.This year's summer grain and autumn grain will be sent back in a short time.

At that time, my officers and soldiers will be full of fighting spirit, the soldiers will be strong, the horses will be strong, there will be no shortage of food and grass, and there will be generals on the front lines with familiar places, so why worry? "

This is Xiaohan from the second uncle's family?

Zhu Gaochi blinked, not quite sure that Zhu Shangbing, who was standing in front of him with his head upright and his chest upright, was no longer the Bing Geer he had known in the past.

However, Zhu Shangbing had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "This time, I was in too much haste. In my opinion, the imperial court should first find out the faults and problems of the Lee Dynasty, and first take a look at the Lee Dynasty. It will take three or four years. Kung Fu heals the place.

Then, using Lee's North Korea as a springboard, our dynasty can mobilize forces from Shandong Road, Hebei Road, Beiping Capital Division, and Liaodong Capital Division to continuously cross the sea and conquer the country of Japan.This is the safest way. "

Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth, he couldn't express in words how shocked he was now.

Brother Bing not only thought of how to solve the problem of managing the Japanese country at the moment, but even thought of a longer-term and safer way.

The ancestral grave of Erbo's family...?
Pooh!
That is also my ancestral grave!
Zhu Gaochi was extremely surprised and puzzled.

But Zhu Yunxi waved his hand with a chuckle: "Let's leave it to Brother Bing to manage the affairs of the Wa Kingdom. Write a memorial, send it to Wenyuan Pavilion, and submit it to Duke Wei and Elder Ren Ge for deliberation."

He has always been watching Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi discussing the important affairs of the state and society, and doing the same thing, Zhu Shangbing can only be the green leaf of the foil.

Now, Daming has formally and comprehensively managed the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, and it has just been handed over to him.

This undoubtedly made Zhu Shangbing very happy.

He even cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll go now?"

Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes, with an encouraging smile on his face: "Go, remember to write nicely, and don't let Ren Hengtai's memorial for you be lost."

"I know I know."

After getting the consent, Zhu Shangbing's face was full of smiles, he couldn't hide his joy, and he disappeared from everyone's eyes in a flash, and he didn't know where he was going to write the memorial.

Zhu Gaochi looked helplessly at Xiaohan leaving with joy, sighed silently, and glanced at Zhang Ergong, the new left servant of the Ministry of Industry.

Needless to say, Zhang Ergong cupped his hands in a very witty way: "Your Highness, the train verification is almost over today, and Rong Chen took people over to check it."

"Yeah." Zhu Yunxi nodded, looking indifferently at Xiaopang with a tense face beside him.

Xiaopang's thoughts of worrying about the country and the people are all on his face.

Zhu Yunxi didn't speak, but turned around with his hands behind his back, watching Zhang Ergong lead the people to the railway ahead.

Zhu Gaochi clasped his hands together and walked to the edge of the stand with his feet pressed down.

"Let's talk, what else is there that our son Yan of the Ming Dynasty can't figure out."

Zhu Yunxi didn't turn around, but just said something quietly.

Standing beside him, Zhu Gaochi rolled his eyes and snorted twice: "I just think that it is not a bad thing to manage the Japanese country, and it is even more beneficial to the court."

"But you still feel that it is inappropriate to comprehensively manage the Wa country at this time."

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said: "Military, government, and civilians have a share. Now the imperial court is implementing new policies, internal affairs practice, and people's livelihood. Ninety-nine percent of the imperial court's energy is put on the country. If we start military strategy again at this time, can the imperial court really control everything?"

The army of suppressing the Japanese army wants to comprehensively manage the Japanese country, and Ying Tian's side must increase their troops to go there.

And it can't be just a few thousand people.

Enough soldiers and horses are needed on the military formation, and more officers and soldiers are needed to suppress places after the war.

No matter what, the imperial court had to send another [-] to [-] soldiers and horses to make everyone feel at ease.

But once so many soldiers and horses are used for reinforcements, the court will have to work back and forth for a long time, involving several yamen.Now that the New Deal is raging like a tiger, can the imperial court have enough energy to do everything well for the increase of troops?

This is a big question mark in Zhu Gaochi's heart.

Zhu Yunxi finally turned his head: "Would it take a lot of effort for the imperial court to conquer the north and the nine sides? Will the imperial court spend a lot of effort on the southern expedition?"

Zhu Gaochi let out a long sigh, and said helplessly, "The reason why you brought me here today to watch Zhang Ergong test the trains and railways is to learn about the affairs of the Japanese country?"

At this moment, Zhu Gaochi can be considered to understand, why this morning, just as he walked into the tax office, Brother Xi rushed over, and pulled himself out of Yingtian City without any explanation.

This is to first throw out a benefit that Daming cannot refuse, then point out the problem, and finally give a solution.

What is the solution?
That is to manage the Japanese country.

In fact, regardless of whether he agrees or not, Brother Xing will make a final decision on the overall management of the Wa Kingdom.This can explain everything from brother Zong'er's past, intentional or unintentional, attitude towards the Wa country.

His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun of the Ming Dynasty did not like the Wa country.

This is no secret among many clan and court officials.

But because of this, Zhu Gaochi felt in a dilemma.

Brother Zong asked for his own opinion, which was trust in himself, and it also meant trust in himself.

On the shoulders, there is invisible pressure.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes changed several times.

Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand and patted Xiaopang on the shoulder: "Actually, it's still the same sentence. War is always a derivative of politics. At this moment, Da Ming is comprehensively managing the Japanese country, not just because of my personal preferences, nor because I, Da Ming, really lack those Wogong."

"Then what are you doing for?"

Zhu Gaochi was outside, staring at Zhu Yunxi with puzzled eyes.

Zhu Yunxi explained: "In addition to the current New Deal, Ming Dynasty also needs a bottom-up innovation."

This is a huge proposition.

Zhu Gaochi frowned suddenly, his face serious.

"Appreciate further details."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the stands under his feet, patted Xiaopang on the shoulders twice, and then took the lead in doing it himself, hanging his feet outside the stands, and propping his hands back on the wooden boards of the stands.

"The people of Ming Dynasty are really suffering, or the people of the Central Plains, for thousands of years, there are really too few ways to make ends meet."

"The imperial court's new policy is in full swing. What can be changed is the officials and the army. But what about the common people?"

"Every time I read the history books, I don't understand why the innovators of the past dynasties seem to have forgotten what the people really want. They just stand on the high temple and use what they think Good governance will make a vigorous innovation."

"But have they asked the people if they need it?"

"Is the prince of the former Song Dynasty a capable minister? I think he is. But did his new policy really take care of the needs of the people? Did the prince really ask the people whether his new policy is correct?"

"I don't think so."

Zhu Yunxi looked sad.

He doesn't believe in the so-called cycle of dynasties, but in the Central Plains ruled by man, the great figures above the temples never really understand the people's feelings, and ask those people who are facing the loess and their backs to the sky what they really need.

"What do the people need?"

Zhu Yunxi asked again, looking up at the sky above the workshops, the sky that had become gray because of the chimneys.

He said softly: "The common people need to have a full stomach, surplus food, surplus money, a more spacious house, and their children also need to go to school, instead of father farming."

"The stalls are allocated to the mu, and the Shanglin Garden Superintendent vigorously increases the grain production. These are all just to make the common people have enough to eat. But what other things do the common people want?"

"Why did I allow Wenyuan Pavilion to approve the construction of several other concrete roads? Why did I give Pan Deshan almost unlimited power to spend a lot of time on the entire Yellow River? Why are you trying to build a railway at this time?"

"The people in my court need some people to come out of the fields to do more valuable things. Or, to do things that can make more money and make life better."

"The Japanese workers can only do the most difficult things, dig mines, dig coal, and build frontier fortresses. When I serve the common people, I can build cement roads, rivers, and railways."

"For these few things, the imperial court did not expropriate corvee. Even if there was expropriation, it would provide enough money and food, so that the people would not be allowed to prepare their own dry food and do things for the imperial court in vain."

Zhu Yunxi's voice was very calm and long, but it was indescribably convincing.

Zhu Gaochi was silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "How can the imperial court get so much money and food in this way? Even if there is enough money, but if there is too much, the prices of civilians will inevitably rise, and the lives of the people will not change. "

This is the simplest economics question.

Once there are more money in the world, but the total amount of material does not increase accordingly, then the extra money can only be added to the material of the cause, that is, the price increase.

The more you earn, the more you increase your price.

"So the founding father will stay there for several years, even ten years."

Zhu Yunxie confessed without hesitation: "The south is a cornucopia. If the army of the Southern Expedition advances ten miles, the Ming Dynasty will be able to produce ten miles more, and all of them will be transported back, stabilizing prices."

"I haven't seen such a statement in the book." Zhu Gaochi sighed and murmured in a low voice.

He has never seen such a statement.But such a statement, he understood, was not wrong.

In the past few years, as more and more gold and silver from the Wa Kingdom were transported to the sky.

The price of goods in Yingtian City has risen slightly, but it is not too obvious because the imperial court is in charge.But changes are actually happening.

Economics is a big problem, and Zhu Yunxi doesn't think he is omniscient.

He changed the subject and said: "This is a long-term matter, and Daming can't just do road construction and embankment construction, and recruit a large number of people to work and earn money to support their families, so that they can live a prosperous life.

What is close at hand is to let the imperial court see that the New Deal is correct and cannot be wrong.

It has been a long time since the order of the meritorious lords of the Qin Fa Army has been carried out. Not to mention that the guards of the Beijing army are still the direct military guards, even the officers and soldiers of the local guards are indeed as Bing Geer said. fighting.

The imperial court wants to let the world know that what the imperial court says is like a spit and a nail, and if someone really has made great achievements, then he will be crowned king!
Daming needs to let his family see honesty, and Feng Wang is also true! "

Zhu Gaochi's eyes flickered constantly. He imitated Zhu Yunxi's posture, put his hands behind his back, and propped himself on the ground, only to realize that his stomach was a little tight.

But he said in a low voice: "So, no matter from what point of view, the comprehensive management of the Wa country is for the government."

Zhu Yunxi nodded heavily.

"This battle must be fought!"

"If you don't destroy the Wa country, you will never give up!"
