Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 385: Create a petal-like industrial structure in the Ming Dynasty and achieve balanced development among regions
In the 61st year of Jingtai, the central government is controlling the soft landing of housing prices.

This year, the Hub proposed the concept of super first-tier cities.

Calculating city size based on population and economic size, Daming has produced ten first-tier cities, ranked as follows: Shanghai, Hong Kong, Malacca, Beijing, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Bianjing, Guangzhou, Kuching, and Jida.

With a population of more than 1000 million and an economy of more than billion, it is the standard for a first-tier city.

Among them, Chittagong and Kuching were caught up in the 60th year of Jingtai, and are closely related to the European plague.

First-tier cities have a population of more than 300 million and an economy of billion.

There are 53 first-tier cities in Ming Dynasty, including Vladivostok, Harbin, Changchun, Shenyang, Dalian, Seoul, Busan, Tangshan, Tianjin, Chengde, Taiyuan, Hohhot, Chang'an, Lanzhou, Yinchuan, Turpan, Kashgar, Andiyan, Chengdu, Chongqing, Kunming, and Dali , Bangkok, Bago, Singapore, Huanzhou, Jiaozhou, Nanning, Hanoi, Hue, Shenzhen, Macau, Changsha, Wuhan, Nanchang, Jingdezhen, Zhengzhou, Changshan, Jinan, Qingdao, Hefei, Suzhou, Changzhou, Yangzhou, Taizhou, There are 53 first-tier cities in Huzhou, Ningbo, Wenzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Beitai, Luzon and Brunei.

Among them, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Chengdu, Wuhan, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Tianjin, Qingdao, Harbin, and Shenyang are just shy of the first line.

If this trend continues, it will take at most ten years to enter the super first-line sequence.

This is because the central government intends to develop the mainland and is controlling the newly occupied areas. Otherwise, places like Hanoi, Jiaozhou, Huanzhou, Bangkok, Bago, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Brunei and other places near the sea have the same potential as the mainland and can rise above the first line. .

This year, the longest railway in Ming Dynasty was opened.

There will also be a tax on the rich this year.

At the beginning of the year, the central government issued an order to build intra-city railways, just like super first-tier cities, planning intra-city railway lines to facilitate residents' commuting to and from get off work.

Therefore, this year the emperor proposed that the railway must be connected to Wushuang. If there are railways in the mainland, Wushuang should also have them.

It was also proposed that the railway should be built up to the plateau.

The first disclosure of revenue and expenditure is the purpose of the rich tax.

Second only to Buddha, Tao, Ji, and Yi.

The emperor went from setting up officials to manage Wushuang to directly administering Wushuang. As early as the fiftieth year of Jingtai, Wushuo had dismissed the governor and acted as chief envoy.

The emperor hoped to use infrastructure to stimulate the leap from steam engines to internal combustion engines and stimulate technological updates and iterations.

Today, we have enough ability to build a road to heaven.

Forty years after the opening of the sea, Ming Dynasty developed rapidly.

The whole journey from Yuerhai to Malacca in the south took seventeen days and seventeen nights.

Moreover, railway technology was not mature at that time. After ten years of railway technology development, railway technology has been very perfect.

The emperor did not discriminate against the Xing soldiers. There were many Xing soldiers in the palace. Wushuang gave birth to several Jinshi. Everyone was talking in Chinese and using Chinese characters. They talked about the dispute over the pen. Wushuang was the most quarrelsome and thought that it was not appropriate. Time to give up the brush.

There are two main reasons. One is that the environment of Wusheng has been severely damaged. The cultivated land of Wusheng cannot be self-sufficient. It must rely on the central transportation of grain and various subsidies to survive.

In the past few years, the central government has been managing environmental problems in Wushuang while investing in and building factories in Wushuang to improve the living conditions of the people in Wushuang.

They also received huge benefits. The emperor allowed the Yellow Sect to preach, and the Yellow Sect transformed from the original small Wushen sect into one of the five major religions in the world.

The national transportation network only excludes Wusheng because railway construction is extremely difficult and not cost-effective.

The second is the construction of the Zhonghua River. The inland can be traveled by water and leads directly to the plateau. The independent kingdom of high mountains no longer exists.

This account must be made public.

In the fifty-sixth year of Jingtai, the emperor proposed that government affairs should be made public and subject to people's supervision.

It is simply impossible for the Yellow Sect to monopolize the political power of Wushen.

The imperial court did not send officials to manage Wushen, but directly administered Wushen. Coupled with the role of marriage, intermarriage between Han and Zhen was normal.

Because of the tax on the rich, local wealthy people were very dissatisfied and believed that the imperial court was taking advantage of others. Therefore, government affairs were open to the public and subject to supervision, which won widespread praise.

As long as the serfdom in Wushen is liberated, the people of Wushen will definitely pursue the emperor, because the emperor has given them the best life.

Taxes on the rich have been levied for decades, and the money has been used for the construction of local public facilities, such as street signs, garbage bins, public health, libraries, public toilets, nursing homes and other projects.

Both the prince and the grandson had concubines in their harems.

The Yellow Sect has changed from the ruling class to the ruled class.

While the emperor proposed rejuvenating the country through science and education, he also proposed paying attention to fairness and narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor.

One reason is that serfdom was destroyed during the construction of the Zhonghua River; the other reason is that the emperor trained a group of snow mountain tiger soldiers as early as the eighth year of Jingtai. Han Yong personally led the troops and subdued the snow mountain farmers.

It's the city subway.

The gap between the rich and the poor is widening, so the emperor must change the distribution method to balance the distribution gap.

Within thirty years, Wusheng must be connected to the railway.

The emperor married two concubines and gave birth to four sons.

Therefore, the Yellow Sect supported the emperor very much. Every year, great lamas came to the palace to lecture the emperor, and Buddhist soldiers were permanently stationed in the palace to protect the emperor.

Even without the railway, Wusheng would not be able to leave the mainland.

It is impossible to suppress it blindly. The emperor is mainly waiting for the railway. When the railway is completely built, it will be the time to develop these border provinces.

If taxes on the rich are not enough for public construction, the central government must provide appropriate subsidies.

Those who uphold orthodoxy are on the contrary late-naturalized.

Another factor is that when the emperor married Concubine Zhen, the royal family also married her, and even Concubine Zhen's sons went out to succeed the vassal.

One after another, the fiscal revenue and expenditure of the imperial court and local governments must be made public.

The distribution method of more work, more gain, less work and less gain cannot be shaken.

Reaffirm the national policy concept that labor is the most glorious and that a better life for the people should be created by the hands of the working people.

Imposing a tax on the rich will narrow the gap between the poor and the rich, allowing the rich to use their profits to give back to society, help the poor, and promote harmonious and common development of society.

During this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival, new tax regulations will be introduced.

The previous tax policies were checked for deficiencies and omissions were filled, and more than 1,000 detailed tax items were introduced to comprehensively cover tax policies for all aspects of society.

The court levies taxes to ensure infrastructure, public construction, administrative costs, and social construction. In the five basic obligations of improving people's livelihood, we must take it from the people and use it for the people, refuse financial squandering, refuse officials to enrich their own pockets, and accept people's supervision.

It also allows local governments to withhold part of their tax revenue and use it for administrative expenses, maintenance of public facilities, and relief for the poor.

The Central Committee reiterated that there is zero tolerance for corruption, bribery, personal enrichment, personal use of public assets, and squandering of people's blood and sweat. The Chief Secretary must accept reports, and the Inspectorate must investigate after reports are received.

In the 60th year of Jingtai's reign, the Supervision Department established the Letters and Complaints Bureau and the Discipline Inspection Bureau to resolutely review violations of disciplines and laws, and any reports must be verified.

The imperial court decided that starting from the 62nd year of Jingtai, a portion of the money would be allocated every year to carry out targeted poverty alleviation for poor households, helping them find jobs and make money through work.

For the lazy and idle, forced labor was carried out.

For the general public, it is proposed to expand the amount of pension insurance, improve the coverage of unemployment insurance, expand the scope of medical benefits, increase the number of medical insurance drugs, and increase the benefits of surgery on the basis of the original drug benefits.

Protect the housing situation of urban residents. For real estate companies that are not allowed to use provident funds to buy houses, we will implement preferential policies such as serious treatment to improve the living standards of working people and ensure the happiness of the people.

There are strict regulations on overtime pay. As long as it is not legal working hours, overtime pay must be paid. Companies that fail to pay, refuse to pay, or delay payment of overtime pay for various reasons will be heavily fined and punished.

Discrimination in jobs such as excrement collectors and cleaners is not allowed. There is no distinction between high and low jobs. excrement collectors and local officials enjoy the same labor treatment.

Regarding fair policies, this year is the strongest year.

With the population, it has entered the warning red line.

Social problems such as unemployment, loan cessation, and return to poverty may occur in the future, so the emperor raised the issue of fairness in advance.

Let society actively value fairness and strive for fairness.

It forces the rich to give part of their money back to society, encourages the rich to be good people, and combats the unkindness of being rich.

Production and supply must be guaranteed, urban employment must be guaranteed, etc., there are more than 100 good policies that are beneficial to people's livelihood.

The emperor's imperial edict is issued throughout the country.

Rejuvenate the country through science and education and pay attention to fairness.

will be the main theme of the next ten years.

The response from the people was excellent and they praised the emperor.

The people are a little worried. The old emperor is too old. Will he still have such good policies when he is gone?
It is undeniable that the emperor's policies are always beneficial to the poor and the common people.

He severely attacked the rich, attacked the gentry, forced the powerful class, and used part of the money to give back to society.

And it continues to break monopolies, promote social redistribution, and avoid the bourgeois trap of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.

It is said that the emperor supports the technology industry and spends hundreds of millions every year to invest in private scientific and technological inventions.

Which technology company today has not benefited?

The emperor also encouraged the development of the entertainment industry, improved the social status of entertainment practitioners, and took the initiative to publish books, comics, and invest in industrial linkages to promote the take-off of an industry.

Even while waging war with foreign countries, it vigorously carried out infrastructure construction to allow the people to live a comfortable life.

When the old emperor dies, will future generations still have wise emperors?

Everyone felt cold.

Just look at the prince Bingzheng and you will know that the prince is a very stingy person. How could the emperor be so generous?
How many people have defrauded the emperor of his money over the years?
Wouldn’t the emperor feel cold? However, he continued to invest in private factories, encouraged civilians to start businesses, tried his best to protect the basic lives of workers and farmers, and spared no effort to improve their living standards and enrich their spiritual life.

Which emperor can do that?
Can the prince? Can Taisun do it?
Insightful people among the people have discovered that once the old emperor is gone, the glorious Ming Dynasty may come to an abrupt end.

If Ming Dynasty returns to resting on its laurels for a few years, it will go downhill and eventually return to its original track.

Some people say that the emperor is rich.

Can the former emperor have no money? Are they willing to give it to the people?

Look at the current streets. They are all asphalt roads. Cleaners clean them every day. There are public toilets and garbage cans on the roads. There are various shops on both sides of the streets where you can buy everything.

Go ask those old people, what was the world like when Jingtai was ten years old?
Who would dare to think about it these days.

No more starvation. As long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want. There is a dazzling array of products. Things that you never dared to think about before are now available.

In the past, I couldn't even eat enough, let alone eat oil. Now I eat oil at will, eat it in restaurants, and throw it away while eating.

All the good days today are brought by the emperor.

Nowadays, the people are afraid that everything they have is in vain. Once the emperor dies, everything they have will be gone.

Every policy of the emperor puts the people first and protects the interests of the people.

Could you do it if you were the king of future generations?
The emperor’s policy this year is a soft landing for real estate.

Let housing prices continue to grow gradually and at the same time, let everyone enjoy the dividends, instead of making the land full of chicken feathers.

After landing, house prices did not collapse and grew in an orderly manner.

Real estate value preservation will be the main tone for the next hundred years.

Can another emperor do it?

Insightful people in the court are also thinking about this issue. The prince will definitely not be able to do it. The prince will only guard his own treasure house and refuse to put it into the market to ensure the stability of housing prices.

Only the old emperor was willing to spend hundreds of tons of gold and use the stock market as a reservoir to organically combine the stock market and the real estate market to promote the stable development of both.

While protecting housing prices, we will also develop the stock market.

Strive to let Ming walk on two legs and develop in a balanced way.

In Beijing, the price of a house in the Fourth Ring Road has reached 3 yuan per square foot.

This is the Fourth Ring Road, we are almost to Tongzhou!

The Fourth Ring Road of the Ming Dynasty is different from the Fourth Ring Road of later generations. The buildings in the inner and outer cities of the Ming Dynasty are immovable, and there are many large houses in the Third Ring Road. These must be preserved.

Large-scale construction of buildings has only begun in the Third Ring Road, but it is actually far away from the main city.

This price is really high.

It was so high that court officials were afraid, worried that the real estate would suddenly collapse. The price was already much higher than the construction price.

Even with added value, it cannot maintain such a high price.

The capital of the Ming Dynasty was completely connected to Tianjin, and there were probably ten rings.

The population reached a terrifying 3000 million people.

The permanent population is about 1500 million.

Among super first-tier cities, Beijing is not even ranked in the top five.

Don't focus on the bubble growth of skyrocketing housing prices. If prices collapse, tens of millions of people will jump off the building. Will they jump off the building?

Will he drag the emperor to death with him?
Therefore, housing prices must have a soft landing and cannot rise any further. They must maintain this price and rise slowly. They can rise, but they must correspond to the value and cannot exceed the value too high.

The reason why Tianjin lags behind is that Tianjin moved its heavily polluting enterprises to Tokyo, a Japanese country, and a large number of industrial talents moved to Tokyo.

It is expected that within ten years, Tokyo's population will exceed 10 million and it will become a first-tier city.

Of course, Japan is still a country for the time being.

Even if the Japanese emperor and shogun were begging the emperor to take over Japan, they no longer wanted to live in fear.

Because the number of Yamato people in the Japanese country does not exceed two million at most.

There were as many as 300 million Ming people living in the Japanese country, and among them, Japanese girls were married to Ming people.

This directly leads to the fact that the real population of the Japanese, about 150 million, is still declining.

The emperor is still recruiting troops, the young and strong labor force is constantly decreasing, and there are more and more elderly people. In ten years, there will probably be no Japanese in the Japanese country.

Therefore, if the shogun wants to sell it at a good price now, it would be a good idea to join the Ming Dynasty and become a count.

The problem is that Ming Dynasty does not want to make them count, it is better for them to become ghosts.

They don't dare to blow up their hair either.

The Ming Dynasty stationed 200,000 troops in the Japanese country. Even in the fiftieth year of Jingtai, the Japanese writing system was abolished, and everyone in the Japanese country was learning Chinese.

Japanese people like to become Mingren very much.

They already admire the heavenly kingdom, and would be willing to become a citizen of that kingdom and whip them to death.

Besides, what people in the island country look forward to most is to live on the mainland. Now that the opportunity has come, who cares whether their emperor is happy or not. If you don't like it, just continue to endure the earthquake in the island country. Let's go.

The emperor is also kind to them.

Japanese soldiers served as soldiers, and Japanese girls married Ming people. The emperor gave a dowry to all Japanese girls. Which Japanese girl wouldn't be grateful to the emperor in her heart?

How many Japanese titles did the emperor grant? Which Japanese is not grateful to the emperor?

As we all know, the Japanese are the biological sons of Emperor Jingtai.

It's just that the population of this biological son is getting smaller and smaller. Some people also suggested that the emperor had ulterior motives. As a result, just after this article was published, he himself hanged himself.

If you want to enjoy the benefits of the mainland, you have to sacrifice your life and blood for the Ming Dynasty. This is fair.

As for the death of people, you dedicated your life to the construction of the Ming Empire. How glorious. Continue to be glorious.

Therefore, Tianjin’s population size is decreasing.

Falling behind from the super first-tier city sequence.

Qingdao is in the same predicament as Tianjin.

After filling up the Bohai Sea and Korea Bay, Qingdao will become the most important port in the Yellow Sea, absorbing the economic size of Dalian and Tianjin, and becoming the leading port city in the north.

Therefore, in the process of cleaning up heavily polluting enterprises, Qingdao is also a key target.

Polluting enterprises in Qingdao were moved to Busan.

Busan has become a first-tier city.

Originally, the emperor wanted to focus on developing Jeju Island, but Jeju Island was too small. The island was mountainous and could not bear the size of the first-line population. He could only find a port city in North Korea, which was Busan.

According to the emperor's plan, in the future, all heavily polluting enterprises will be moved to offshore coastal cities, such as Sakhalin, Japan, Luzon, Borneo and other places.

In China, we focus on developing high-tech industries, focusing on light pollution and high value-added industries, and monopolizing high-tech technologies.

Therefore, the emperor wants to build several science and technology cities. The first batch of science and technology city pilots are Shenzhen, Wuhan, Changsha, Nanchang, and Nanning.

Because of the opening of the Zhonghua River, the northwest has been nourished by water, and oases have been formed one after another.

After the Yenisei River flows southward and irrigates the north, Guanzhong will regain its prosperity during the Han and Tang Dynasties.

In order to protect water and soil, the central government further issued policies, strictly instructing various localities on how many trees to plant every year, and requiring all people to plant trees. There are extremely strict regulations on the greening area.

Greening must be included in urban assessment.

When Guanzhong becomes wealthy again, the emperor will transfer the science and technology industry chain to the northwest, turning the northwest into a second-tier science and technology city.

A military industrial city will be built in the southwest.

Because the southwestern mountains are stretching and it is located absolutely inland, it has high confidentiality and is suitable for the development of military industry.

As for the Northeast, the emperor will build it into a heavy industrial base.

With the heightening of the Xing'an Mountains, the environment in the Northeast will be optimized. This fertile black land controls the four border provinces of Turks, Tatars, Korea, and Japan. It is completely wrapped here and has an extremely advantageous geographical location.

With the continuous improvement of railways and the continuous increase of train speed, Northeast China will become the flank of the capital.

The northeast and northwest have become the two wings of Beijing. Technology and heavy industry combine to defend the capital.

Jiangnan will continue to be an economic center and a science and technology center.

In the future, Ming Dynasty will form a petal-like development structure, with the most elite high-tech industries in the middle, the manufacturing overlords on the periphery, and the outermost circle are heavily polluting enterprises.

The capital is surrounded by people inside and outside.

Strong troops were stationed in various places to ensure that the Ming Dynasty's territory would not be encroached on, and the Ming Dynasty would never decline.

While the emperor was developing cultural soft power.

It is also making plans in the technology industry.

Such as cameras, telephones, telegraphs and other industries.

There are also pens and pencils that have been developed. Yes, this is also a technology industry. Even a strong manufacturing country may not be able to produce pencil technology.

Let alone fountain pens, in the next hundred years they will all be high-precision technology.

This year, a drink emerged in the Ming Dynasty, Coke.

You may not like this stuff when you first start drinking it, but after drinking a few bottles, you will definitely fall in love with Coke.

This is cola nut donated by African vassal states in the 50th year of Jingtai. The local indigenous people use it to treat colds.

After it was delivered to the palace, the emperor did not know it. Later, he accidentally discovered that it was kola nut.

Let the chemical laboratory begin research, and it took seven or eight years to create the world's first Coke.

In recent years, the Ming Dynasty planted many cola orchards in Borneo, Samian, and Jiaozhou. After the technology matured, the emperor invested in the construction of two brands, one is Coca-Cola and the other is Pepsi-Cola.

Along with the Coke, there was coffee.

The coffee beans were presented by Zhu Youtangjin.

It originated from Ethiopia. Some people drank this stuff to refresh themselves. They first gave it to King Chong, who then gave it to Zhu Youtang. After drinking it, Zhu Youtang felt that it had the effect, but the taste was too unpleasant. In a letter to the old emperor, he mentioned this unpleasant coffee, and the old emperor asked him to donate it.

Zhu Youtang presented it to the old emperor together with kola nuts.

The palace prepared coffee powder, added milk, sugar and other substances to make a latte. It tasted ordinary, but it did have a refreshing effect.

Therefore, in the fifty-eighth year of Jingtai, the emperor introduced coffee as a drink and opened the first coffee shop in Ming Dynasty, called Starbucks.

Come up with American style, latte, cappuccino, mocha and other drinking methods.

Then the coffee shop took off.

This year, the Emperor launched Coke again. It tasted really average at first, but coffee people have accepted it. What's not to like about sweet Coke?

Suddenly, Coke became popular among the people.

Coca-Cola launched Sprite and Fanta.

PepsiCo launched Mirinda, 7Up, and Fruity.

There was a bottled tea company before, Master Kong.

Coffee beverage company Nestlé.

Suddenly, the beverage market was turbulent, and the market value doubled several times. In an emerging industry, the emperor just used a few tricks to create an industrial chain.

Private capital says that the emperor has a pair of golden fingers.

After Coke became popular, cola brands such as Tianfu Coke and Very Coke appeared among the public.

The beverage market has become a new hot spot for investment companies.

Careful people will find that all the beverage companies that have emerged this year are either Imperial Enterprises or have Imperial Enterprise Capital involved.

This shows that the emperor is particularly optimistic about the beverage market.

Investment firms were all quick to follow.

A variety of drinks are emerging one after another, and the beverage market has entered an era of fighting between gods.

However, Coke and coffee are just casual investments by the emperor.

The emperor was in Guizhou and established the Guizhou Military Industrial Group, focusing on the production of firearms and ammunition. When springs developed to a very mature level, modern firearms also emerged.

But in recent years, the technology has not been very mature.

Until the 61st year of Jingtai, firearms technology had matured.

The emperor decided to move the military industry into the mountains and open up a military industry chain in Guizhou, Yunnan, and Chongqing.

In the future, the three southwest provinces will become the base of Ming Dynasty's military industry.

This time the emperor invested 10 billion to build the world's largest military factory in Guizhou, mainly producing new weapons.

And invested 1 million yuan to establish an ordnance laboratory for ordnance scientific research.

Funds will continue to be injected in the future.

Under the Ministry of War, a Scientific Research Department was established to focus on ordnance scientific research affairs, and a large amount of money was invested in scientific research every year.

Monopolize the military industry.

Private capital is not allowed to enter the military industry.

The Ming Dynasty's ban on guns, crossbows, and drugs was a national policy that could never be wavered, and private possession of firearms by private citizens was subject to severe penalties.

The emperor allowed private capital to enter tobacco, medicine and other industries, but no capital was allowed to enter the military industry.

Not even imperial companies.

On this point, the court officials were extremely supportive, which meant that the ordnance was transferred from the palace to the court.

Then they are too naive.

The emperor would never allow ordnance to be in anyone's hands, only in the palace.

Instead, the internal funds were fully funded, and the central government sent people to supervise it. The use of ordnance was decided by the emperor and the central government through joint discussion.

That is to say, the power was shared by the emperor and the court, but the money was provided by the emperor himself.

The emperor must firmly hold on to the arsenal and military power.

The reason why imperial enterprises are not used is that the main members of imperial enterprises are unreliable, and the same is true for state-owned enterprises.

The emperor has a lot of money, and he doesn't need a small amount of money to invest in a military factory.

The first admiral of the Guizhou Military Factory was Leonardo da Vinci.

In recent years, the emperor always asked Leonardo da Vinci to paint some special paintings for him. Many of the paintings were sealed and not many people saw them.

Leonardo da Vinci knew this, so he went to the military factory as an admiral and would create many new weapons.

The military factory plan was actually proposed by the emperor once in the fiftieth year of Jingtai's reign.

But railway technology was not yet mature at that time.

This year, the railway was completed in Guizhou.

The military factory plan came into being.

In the future, military factories of the same scale will be built in Yunnan and Chongqing provinces.

Southwest itself is a poor province.

But as the Indochina Peninsula has completely turned into a clear land and there are no foreign invasions, the central government will invest heavily in transportation in the southwestern provinces every year.

After improving transportation, businessmen were encouraged to invest and set up factories.

The industry of tobacco, wine, tea, oil and medicine is developed, as well as the tree and flower planting industry, with a focus on tourism. This time the Jiangjun Factory is located in the southwest, it is also to help the southwest and save the economy of the southwest.

The northwest is stronger than the southwest because there are Wei State and Shang State in the west. These countries need to exchange supplies through the land Silk Road, and their economy and trade are more developed than the southwest.

The southwest is completely located between mountains and ridges. Its development is far inferior to that of port cities, and transportation is inconvenient.

This is a drawback to economic development.

But for the military industry, it is paradise.

In recent years, in order to develop the southwest, the emperor proposed the policy of using entertainment to revitalize the southwest in the 58th year of Jingtai.

The amusement park project, in collaboration with the tourism industry, focuses on development in the six southwestern provinces.

The result is that after two amusement parks were built, there were very few people willing to buy tickets to go in and spend money there. There were tourists, but there were no plans to visit them.

Entertainment and amusement parks are experiencing a cold spell.

In the fifty-ninth year of Jingtai, the emperor proposed to use sports to revitalize the southwest.

It mainly invests in sports competitions and stimulates the local economy.

As a result, all the coastal provinces were mobilized, except for the six southwest provinces and the six provinces not close to the sea.

Culture and sports cannot save the southwest economy.

In fact, the six southwest provinces all have their own characteristics, including ethnic characteristics, food characteristics, architectural characteristics, scenery characteristics, and everything.

Just not popular.

Even in the 60th year of Jingtai, the emperor encouraged the northern people to go south to spend the winter, which resulted in Sanya, Bago, Bangkok, and Singapore becoming popular.

The emperor thought that integrating southwest characteristics and building an amusement park would promote the development of local cultural tourism, but he was naive.

Southwest is very beautiful, but there are too many beautiful places in Daming, including the six southwest provinces.

We can only use the military industry to revitalize the southwest.

The emperor has a lot of resources. After the opening of the Zhonghua River, the northwest has embarked on the road of revitalization. The central part is already wealthy, but the six southwest provinces are getting worse year by year.

In recent years, the emperor has invested more than 10 billion in the southwest, mainly in tourism.

The tourism industry is indeed developing well, but the six southwestern provinces have become provinces with a net population outflow, and there is an outflow of manpower every year.

Most of the migrant workers in the first-tier cities are from the six southwestern provinces.

In the 60th year of Jingtai's reign, the emperor replaced the chief envoys of six provinces. For one year, the effect was still ineffective. This year, another batch was replaced.

They even changed the officials from top to bottom.

The six southwestern provinces seem to be cursed by the northeast and will never develop.

If it is said that the bureaucracy is serious, even if a group of officials are replaced, can it still not be solved?
On the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 61st year of Jingtai, the emperor made a public speech that he must pursue a balanced development among the Ming Dynasty regions and formulate a five-year development plan for the southwest. Five years later, the southwest must become rich and keep up with the pace of the Ming Dynasty.

The development of Northeast China is also uneven.

Don’t invest in Shanhaiguan.

This era also encountered bottlenecks.

Northeast China is a large natural agricultural province. With the expansion of Xing'an Mountains, several wealthy provinces will be created.

However, if it only stays at the agricultural development stage, the industry cannot be upgraded and an effective industrial mechanism cannot be formed.

If we say that the bureaucracy in Northeast China is serious, what went wrong when Wang Lai, Li Kuang, Ma Wensheng, and Zhao Fu were governors in the past?

In their hands, Northeast China will take off.

But as they were transferred back to the center, Northeast China was abandoned.

A large agricultural province has no chance in the future.

With such a unique and superior environment, if you don't seize the opportunity, you can digest enough resources for feeding while the old emperor is still alive. When the old emperor is gone, let's see who will feed you.

Therefore, in the 61st year of Jingtai, the emperor transferred Li Dongyang to serve as governor of the six northeastern provinces, focusing on the economy.

The military must not be given power.

Even Li Dongyang, the emperor did not dare to play with fire.

Tang Xuanzong just played with fire and killed himself.

He didn't want to be forced to abandon Beijing when he was about to die, go to Sichuan, and then come to Maweipo, which would be embarrassing.

Li Dongyang, Second Assistant to the Cabinet.

If you are personally in charge of six provinces, can you still not develop the Northeast economy?
The point is, the emperor wanted to place most of the heavy industry in the northeast, and the northwest would follow suit.

Li Dongyang took the 20 billion funds given by the emperor to build a heavy industrial base.

Key resources will be placed in the five cities of Shenyang, Changchun, Harbin, Vladivostok, and Seoul, as well as nearby cities, to develop supporting industries.

There is also a resource reason for choosing this place.

In the 57th year of Jingtai's reign, a huge oil field was discovered in Daqing. In the same year, oil was successfully exploited on Sakhalin Island.

In the following years, large oil fields were discovered in Turkic, Tatar, and Yuerhai provinces.

There are oil fields and steel, which are enough to support the six northeastern provinces to become heavy industry bases.

Speaking of the northwest.

The emperor initially planned to build a science and technology industry chain centered on Wuhan, Changsha, Nanchang, and Nanning. After the science and technology industry chain developed, he would move the secondary industrial chain to the northwest.

A straight-line science and technology industrial structure was formed in the northwest and central parts of the Ming Dynasty.

As water resources in the northwest become increasingly abundant.

Chang'an and Lanzhou became the centers of the northwest.

Chang'an has been prosperous for thousands of years, but due to the severe damage to the environment in Guanzhong, it has completely declined since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty.

Starting from the eighth year of Jingtai's reign, the emperor planted trees over a large area in the northwest to protect water and soil, and built karez wells to divert underground drinking water, gradually balancing the harsh natural environment in the northwest.

To completely resist wind and sand, you must have abundant water resources.

With the diversion of the Zhonghua River and the Ob River, the northwest has abundant water resources and has a natural environment that can resist wind and sand.

The Department of Reclamation records that 700 years of water and soil protection have saved 1.7 million acres of oases, converted farmland into forests, and 127 forests have appeared, and converted farmland into lakes, and 140 artificial lakes have appeared, and billion trees have been planted. Effectively curbed wind and sand.

The natural environment in the northwest is gradually improving. At least there are fewer windy and sandy days, and the city has returned to green.

In the 40th year of Jingtai, the emperor proposed a centenary plan to protect the northwest. Counting from the 8th year of Jingtai, the water and soil of the northwest would be protected for a hundred years and help restore the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in the northwest.

A few years ago, the central government decided to divert water from the Yenisei River to nourish the north, mainly Guanzhong and Shanxi.

The central government is expected to invest RMB 20 billion in the northwest water and desertification control plan to eradicate the severe weather in the northwest and adhere to the unswerving policy of returning farmland to forests and lakes to make the northwest green and bright again.

The emperor proposed that a large amount of black soil be transported from the frozen soil in the north and spread on the loess to fertilize the soil of the loess.

Protect all trees along the Yellow River, increase tree planting along the Yellow River, and return farmland to forests.

With the development of trains, the northwest region has turned to growing high-value-added products, such as fruits, and abandoned low-value-added crops such as wheat.

In the 40th year of Jingtai's reign, the emperor proposed that each child should drink more than half a catty of milk and eat more than half a catty of fruits, vegetables, and meat every day to ensure the nutritional supply of teenagers. Adults should also consume a large amount of vegetables, melons, and fruits. , meat, milk and other high-protein substances.

In the 50th year of Jingtai's reign, the emperor proposed a package of food supply projects to ensure a non-staple food supply mechanism for urban residents.

This provides good opportunities for fruit development.

With the improvement of chemical technology, chemical technology has been applied to crops, first with pesticides and fertilizers, and then to improve the quality of fruits and melons.

The first experiment was watermelon.

In the 1th year of Jingtai, the emperor invested million to establish a food laboratory, which mainly tackled the supply problems of seafood, meat, fruits, and vegetables, including increasing production, improving varieties, and improving taste.

It has been twenty-two years since then.

In the 59th year of Jingtai's reign, the first finished watermelon was successfully produced, and the juicy, sweet and delicious modern watermelon was born.

That's right, watermelons in the past were not edible at all, they were just for show.

After the success of this improvement, the taste of watermelon is similar to that of later generations. Because of the pattern, it is called Kirin melon or Jingtai melon.

In the past two years, we have successfully developed products such as cantaloupe, apple, and sugar orange.

Apples were brought as tribute from the vassal state in the 30th year of Jingtai, but their taste was very poor. These apples were also the result of subsequent technological improvements.

In fact, fruits and melons in ancient times were not very tasty. They only became delicious after technological improvements.

Melon and fruit planting bases generally cover the Western Regions, Shaanxi, Henan, and Shandong.

In recent years, trains have transported loess from the northwest to permafrost areas, dug out black soil, and then replaced the loess with black soil.

The trains kept running day and night, and cartloads of black soil were transported to the northwest region.

For sale.

Although it is for sale, it is half sold and half given away. The emperor's intention is to exchange soil, and the central government will not lose money.

These permafrost areas are not areas that will never be unblocked, but areas that may become permafrost after the Xing'an Mountains are added.

Those areas with perennial frozen soil cannot be excavated for the time being.

By the way, he bought large quantities of bird droppings from the feudal state and used them to fertilize the soil.

Carloads of black soil and bird droppings covered the originally barren northwest region.

Not all loess is sent to the northern permafrost areas.

More was sent to Tianjin to be used for reclamation.

The Bohai Bay is very shallow. Concrete is used as the foundation stone at the bottom, and then it is filled with sand and loess. The sand is not honest. If there is enough loess, loess will be used.

In the desert to the west, workers are digging sand day and night.

Load it up and transport it over.

The preparation phase for the four major projects is expected to be around ten years, and construction will not begin until ten years later.

During this period, the soil in the northwest must be replaced first.

Plant trees and protect farmland.

The northwest soil replacement plan is expected to be completed within five years.

The Western Regions also covet black soil, but geological experts have considered that there are not enough trees in the Western Regions and are prone to soil erosion. The northwest has been managed for fifty years and has the advantage of conserving water and soil.

Furthermore, there is really little black soil.

Not all of the Siberian Plateau has black soil.

The places where there is real black soil are the Northeast Plains, the Sanjiang Plains, and the east of the Ussuri River, that’s all.

And these places, after adding Xing'an Mountains, are the core territory of Northeast China and cannot be moved.

The black soil needed for Bohai Bay and Korea Bay must also be set aside.

Some experts have proposed digging black soil from Xing'an Mountains.

However, it has encountered strong opposition from folk scholars. They believe that when the climate warms, the Xing'an Mountains will become the lungs of the Northeast and provide oxygen to the entire Northeast.

Once destroyed, the Northeast will immediately become desertified, and no matter how fertile the black soil is, it will disappear due to successive sandstorms.

Therefore, not only cannot the Xing'anling forest be destroyed.

We also need to plant more trees in the Northeast.

To prepare for the possibility of climate change, which will cause large-scale forest death in the Xing'anling area and cause severe climate changes.

For this reason, some plant experts said that the forests in the Xing'an Mountains have strong adaptability to the environment and can adapt to warm climates, so there is no need to worry about the death of forest trees in the Xing'an Mountains.

Afforestation is what the imperial court has been doing.

The Ming Dynasty developed the Northeast by cutting down and planting at the same time. After filling in the swamps, trees were also planted on them.

In fact, the most worrying thing is Sakhalin Island.

After the Xing'an Mountains are raised, the cold current from Siberia may blow eastward after being blocked by the high mountains. Sakhalin Island may not have enough shielding and may freeze instantly.

And in Eastern Europe, when the Siberian cold current is blocked and blows westward, it is very likely that the temperature in Moscow will drop by more than ten degrees.

There are also areas in Canada that may be affected by the cold wave.

Therefore, some scholars have proposed that the mountains of Sakhalin and Ezo be raised at the same time, and that mountains in Eastern Europe and Canada should also be raised at the same time.

Let the Siberian cold current blow back, making the Arctic even colder.

This could cause global temperatures to drop.

Because the earth's temperature is closely related to the ice area.

As the ice area expands, the temperature will definitely drop.

And this precisely neutralizes the greenhouse effect. The greenhouse effect produced by technological development promotes global warming. The Arctic ice can be used to offset the greenhouse effect and achieve temperature balance.
