Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 444 Destiny, I want to bring strength to the world

In the 69th year of Jingtai's reign, Zhu Qiyu devoted all his energy to writing books.

Of course, he just had an idea.

The specifics needed to be polished by professionals. Zhu Qiyu and Zhu Jianji were responsible for the review, which is equivalent to saying that he made the outline, found a gunman to write the content, and then he checked the content, and finally put Zhu Qiyu's name on it and published it all over the world.

Zhu Youyi also watched it every day and put forward many constructive suggestions. His eyes were burning every day and he really wanted to participate.

Zhu Jianji became even more ruthless. After listening to his opinion, get out of here.

In the second half of 1969, Jingtai entered the ideological wave.

In the first half of the year, the finances are disclosed, and in the second half of the year, I enter the sage state and think about the nature of the world.

The old emperor started from the theory of distribution and established a Ming theory system.

From a rational point of view, the old emperor's distribution theory is strong in revealing social reality. It is not that the theory is amazing, but it just writes content that others dare not write.

If the old emperor had not entered Taoism based on the theory of distribution, it would have been impossible.

Of course, these days, there are many people who criticize him, and no one knows whether the old emperor can control his mind and concentrate on writing a book that will shock the past and the present.

Of course, Zhu Qiyu will not just write about distribution theory. He will establish a theoretical system, learn from the strengths of other schools, and highlight his own ideas.

He equipped himself with a super strong team, mixed the methods of hundreds of schools of thought, absorbed the essence of hundreds of schools of thought, and blended them into a theoretical system.

The old emperor is holding back his ultimate move.

He will definitely not be able to finish it, so Zhu Jianzhen will continue to finish it.

Zhu Youyi thought that it would be best if his father could not finish writing, so he continued writing.

The theory of distribution spread to the vassal state, and the emperors of the vassal state felt that their father was trying to undermine the throne. The leader of the landowners was the emperor, and the leader of the capital was also the emperor. The father wanted to revolutionize his own life.

He spent all his family wealth, and at most it could alleviate public anger for a while.

Should future emperors follow suit and contribute all their wealth?
Only Zhu Qiyu can use this road.

If anyone else dares to use it, the emperor will die tomorrow.

They all don't understand why the old emperor wants to dig up the roots of the throne. Shouldn't the emperor exist?
Should the emperor exist?
Some people say that feudal dross should not exist.

But does this thing really not exist?
It's just a different name. Doesn't he exist?

So why is your money still being exploited by capitalists? Why can't you get to a high position? Why can't you cross the class no matter how hard you try?

Because it has always been there!

As long as you are a mortal, who doesn't have imperial thoughts?

Who doesn’t want to be a superior emperor?
If he changed his name, wouldn't he still be the emperor?

Who can replace him?
What president, prime minister, and who do they take orders from? And when you become president or prime minister, do you really think they have no power?

Look at these people again. Are they ordinary people?
It is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son. It is not that it is difficult to produce a noble son, but that it will never come out!
Looking at the history of ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, how many famous people came from poor families? You will be horrified to find that those who have left a mark in history are all from extraordinary backgrounds, and those from poor families are rare. There are too few.

The so-called elimination of the imperial system is itself a paradox.

Just change the name and continue to exist in another form.

Rather than being driven out of office, why not step down on your own initiative, then change your appearance and continue to exist in another form?

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu never allowed people to talk about the imperial system. Even in the 67th year of Jingtai, he took the initiative to give a speech and talked about the issue of the imperial system.

He was the first emperor in history to discuss whether the imperial system should be abolished.

At that time, Zhu Jianji was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat.

What really surprised Zhu Jianji was that there were many knowledgeable people among the people, and they had a deeper understanding of the imperial system than he, the prince, did.

What's even more frightening is that many of their ideas coincide with those of the old emperor.

Many people believe that the imperial system should be abolished. In a developed and civilized country, there should be no emperor. This is simply running wild with the lives of nine tribes.

However, the old emperor also replied to this article, which caused a huge sensation at the time.

Zhu Jianji's first thought was to kill his entire family.

However, Zhu Qiyu was included in his speech as a typical example, and he talked freely with the people about the existence of the monarchy, so the old emperor could be a god, but others could not.

He always believed that the country needs a manager, and whoever is the manager is the emperor.

There are two channels for this manager to come up. One is election, which means a few people participate in the election and let the citizens vote.

The other one is the previous manager who designates the next manager.

Basically these are the two channels.

It will definitely not fall into the hands of ordinary people.

If you are from a poor family, just go to bed. This kind of power struggle has nothing to do with you. If you are unlucky enough to get involved, you will not be able to play anymore and will definitely die.

To put it simply, the essence of politics is to engage in relationships. You have more friends and fewer enemies. How much benefit can you bring to everyone? Whoever brings more can get involved.

This is the essence of politics.

As an ordinary person, who is your circle of friends? Do you want to be the manager and the dog in your village to be a police dog?
Take the example of maternal relatives. During the Han Dynasty, maternal relatives were so powerful that they could even influence the imperial power. In the Ming Dynasty, maternal relatives were just pieces of paper that could be broken by whoever stabbed them.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the emperor had no military power, so he supported his relatives to serve as nobles. As a result, one by one was abolished.

why?
Because my maternal relative is from a commoner background!

Even if a commoner is promoted by the emperor, it will take a long time to slowly develop political power. If the emperor does not survive this time, the emperor will die.

The relative's backing was gone, so he didn't shrink back immediately to avoid being counterattacked by the civil servants.

Therefore, people born as civilians are destined to be unable to play politics.

Not to mention the high-end bureau, it would be a dead end for you to enter.

To put it simply, look at who Zhu Jianjian’s circle of friends is. If he comes up, he can directly let his circle of friends take power.

It is impossible for an emperor to take power on his own, he needs his confidants to help him take power.

Zhu Qiyu's way of holding power was not to use eunuchs, factory guards, nobles, and civil servants to hold power.

In the middle period of the reign, the son was in power, and in the later period, the prince was in power.

Therefore, Zhu Jianji was born with huge political capital.

This capital comes from your parents and family on the one hand, and on the other hand it comes from your circle of friends. No matter how high you stand, you can reach any number of friends.

Otherwise, it is hard to say that a noble son comes from a poor family. Even if you are asked to come up, you will not be able to sit in this position.

In fact, everyone's abilities are quite different. Whoever holds a high position is pretty much the same. It just depends on what family you were born into and who are your parents? When a person is born, everything is destined.

The livelihood of ordinary people is actually closely related to local officials, and economic development is also closely related to local development.

And social assets will always be monopolized in the hands of the top and will never flow to the bottom.

In other words, whether there is an emperor or not has little to do with the people.

As for the managers who come up via which channel.

The essence is the same thing.

The emperor takes turns to come to my house next year, and the dignitaries play the game of drumming and passing flowers among each other, so the bottom does not need to be collectively superior.

It has nothing to do with you.

As for casting a vote, it is of no use, it is just a formality, and the people at the bottom should take it seriously.

And specifying it is even more interesting.

When I get to the end of the year, I will appoint someone to come up. Isn’t this a secret reserve system?

These two are exactly the same.

no difference.

Don’t think that what you choose is what you voted for. Think too much. The essence of politics is the return of interests. It is just a political show. Who will be chosen has already been decided.

Those who come here will come here under the guise of being a child.

It's all deceptive.

Now that we are free, who will they exploit? Who will rule?

Anyone who believes this is a fool!

But if you look at it from a macro perspective.

Imperialism is better, but selection is better.

One is my own stuff, the other is someone else’s stuff.

If you live in your own house or in a rented house, which one do you cherish?
You must find ways to move things from other people's homes to your own home.

You have to find ways to repair things in your own home.

Imperial system is better than selective system.

Don't always look at which emperor is bad. Anyone who sits in that position will be scolded to death. That is a living target. Whoever gets there will be unlucky.

So, it doesn't matter who goes up.

It doesn't matter what he did.

No matter who this person is, it will not affect ordinary people. Life is life. Whoever comes in will exploit you.

Those affected are often officials.

When Zhu Jianqi came up, those who benefited from Long Zhigong were the ones who benefited. Those who supported Zhu Jianqi gradually faded out of the court.

Are the old emperor's policies good?
How much can be left to the private sector?

How much money does the imperial court allocate every year, and how much is left to the people?
If there is a different manager, can he ensure that every cent allocated by the court goes to the people? Unless he has four billion eyes staring at everyone, it will be in vain.

Under the rule of law, at least the internal funds will be used to subsidize the national treasury.

If you are not a member of the world, then you must put the money from the treasury into your own pocket. It is not my country anyway. I have earned enough money after working for a few years.

The emperor can't do it well. I can't do it well. My son took over the mess, and then the dynasty took over.

In the imperial system, at least there is a chance for rebellion.

The most terrifying thing is the non-emperor system, which does not even have the name of rebellion. In fact, this kind of system is the most terrifying.

Any dynasty will perish. However, when it comes to liquidation, you can kill the emperor to take revenge, but can you go to the eight hundred managers above?

They continued to live happily at home, but no one came to take revenge on them.

Therefore, modern society immediately abandoned the emperor, because the emperor's profession was too dangerous and could easily be liquidated.

Those who understand this selection system clearly are political families.

The essence is the same as that of the Wei and Jin families.

The emperor was chosen by them.

Whoever they like will become the emperor. In fact, the country's finances and the country's lifeline are firmly controlled by the family, and the emperor is a puppet.

There are also people who want to come out to have fun and enjoy the emperor's addiction, such as Li Mi and Li Yuan, who all come out to have fun.

The essence of politics had actually been determined in the pre-Qin period.

There is no other way to play.

No matter how you change the skin, it's still the same thing.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty, if Zhu Qiyu gave up his throne, would he give up his power? No, he transformed into a political family and continued to monopolize power.

It seems that the old Zhu family will no longer inherit the throne and will be replaced by one person as prime minister, but the real power is still in the hands of the Zhu family.

When the time came for the liquidation, the Zhu family did not need to bear the blame. When the new dynasty came, the Zhu family transformed into a political family of the new dynasty.

Therefore, during the Wei, Jin, Sui and Tang dynasties, all the noble families were willing to be emperors, but no one wanted to be emperor.

Of course Zhu Qiyu is not afraid of everyone talking about it.

Even if everyone in the world talks about being dissatisfied with the imperial system and rebelling against it, will it be useful?

Human nature is evil!
People are very selfish and want others to contribute while they enjoy the results.

If everyone thinks so, who will rebel?
This is the reason why rulers of all dynasties never looked down. What's the use of looking at you?

If you rebel, you will be recruited; if you don't, you will be a slave.

Very simple.

The essence of the world is always the relationship between domination and being ruled.

Zhu Qiyu talks about this with the people all over the world because he wants to become a god and a saint, and he needs the support of the people. If Zhu Qiyu doesn't want it, he won't waste his time with these people.

What everyone does has interests behind it.

As for digging the roots of the throne.

The throne does not lie in a chair, the Forbidden City, or a dragon robe.

If Zhu Qiyu didn't have these things, wouldn't he be an emperor?

He abolished the kneeling ceremony, isn't he still the emperor?

He talks to the people about whether the monarchy should be abolished, but isn't he still the emperor?

If he doesn’t wear the dragon robe, live in the Forbidden City, and sit in that chair, he is no longer the emperor!

This is a paradox.

Besides, Zhu Qiyu is no longer satisfied with being the emperor of the world. He wants to be the emperor of eternity. He wants to use his theory to illuminate the next thousand years. He wants to be the emperor of eternity.

Recently, Zhu Qiyu has been silent.

He didn't speak publicly for a long time, and there was no sound.

The sixty-nine years of Jingtai are also passing by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it is the 70th year of Jingtai.

The first emperor in history, his reign title lasted seventy years, and Zhu Qiyu is even more shocking in the past and today.

However, Zhu Qiyu's New Year's Eve speech seemed boring, and nothing exciting happened.

Because Zhu Qiyu spent all his energy transcribing his own thoughts.

He wanted to summarize and record his entire life.

During the Chinese New Year, he was looking back on his life, crying and laughing, happy and sad.

Many things are buried deep in my memory.

If he didn't think about it carefully, he would have forgotten it.

Some unbearable things were dug out by him and thought about again, making him unable to sleep well for several days.

He didn't know how to gather his thoughts into a theory.

He could only express his thoughts first.

He found that his appetite had increased recently and his mentality had improved, but his energy level was getting worse day by day, but he was happy inside.

Finally, in his later years, he found something he wanted to do, and he hoped to finish it before dying.

And to be able to do this thing, there is nothing outside the mind.

Zhu Jianzhen often came to Yangxin Hall, and father and son often studied it.

Of course, Zhu Qiyu looked down upon Zhu Jianji, a martial artist, and the father and son often had arguments.

Seventy years into Jingtai.

Tractors officially spread to the market, and the farming revolution began.

Switch from traditional farming methods to mechanical farming to improve efficiency.

With a wave of his hand, the old emperor sent 10,000 tractors to the private sector and gave them to poor villages, one for each village, for joint operation.

It is also equipped with rice transplanters, harvesters and other agricultural machinery, and is expected to be put on the market within the next three years.

The old emperor established a tractor company, purchased a large number of tractors, and waited for others to pay him to farm.

The era of fast farming has not yet emerged. Back then, manpower was still the main labor force. As the mechanical revolution gradually deepened, manpower became dispensable.

There will be a large amount of surplus labor in the market.

Over time, the Ming Dynasty went from a labor shortage to an era of labor surplus.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu focused on building labor-intensive industries and did not intend to transfer them because there was too much surplus labor in the Ming Dynasty market.

Feeding a population of four billion is by no means an easy task.

On the issue of imperialism and electoral system, the common people have little say.

But once you are hungry, the right to speak may not lie with the court, but with the people.

In the industrial age, people's pursuit has changed from having enough food to having enough food. In other words, when a large number of people are unemployed and cannot make money, it is the time for social unrest.

This is the drawback of imperialism.

We have to consider future generations, properly resettle society’s idle labor force, and solve social problems.

If not, who cares about that? It’s not my family anyway. I’ll go down as soon as I’m done. If I really can’t do it anymore, there’s also a Peace Prize to win. How great.

Zhu Qiyu can't do it. This country belongs to the Zhu family, and he has to do good things with his heart.

Labor-intensive industries can exactly alleviate this problem.

To be honest, agricultural machinery should be ranked before cars, but Daming did not do this. Instead, it put the research on agricultural machinery behind.

The imperial court would rather use money to subsidize farmers so that they could receive wages similar to those of urban workers, rather than letting society suddenly have a large amount of idle labor.

In this era, opportunities to make money lie in the fields.

Because farming requires a lot of manpower.

The land can accommodate a large amount of idle labor. Not only will no new labor force emerge, it will also absorb the labor force and tie the labor force to the land.

The imperial court set the price of grain relatively high and paid a sum of money every year for agricultural subsidies.

Here's why.

Give farmers money and let them hire workers to help farm the land. This will absorb a large amount of idle labor in society and achieve a balance among the labor force.

Not all the population will flow into the super cities.

You can't make money if you don't stay at home.

If prices were set in the market, the prices of necessities would drop sharply, causing low prices and hurting farmers. This was something the Jingtai Dynasty would never allow.

Grain prices, vegetable prices, and fruit prices have been relatively raised. On the one hand, it is to protect the interests of farmers and producers, and on the other hand, it is to guard against waste.

Some people would say that what the powerful waste in a day is what the common people waste in a year.

Indeed it is.

The so-called warming means that they are creating garbage and letting the poor pay the bill.

The Ming Dynasty levied a waste tax, which began in the fifteenth year of Jingtai.

The people have the right to supervise, and those who report will be rewarded.

There are really people who go to dig out the trash cans of powerful people’s houses and then report them.

Because the world's powerful and powerful people are mainly concentrated in the capital, under the old emperor's nose, they must be able to catch them all.

The waste tax also rises in a stepped manner.

The more you waste, the more money you spend.

As long as you have money, you can waste it as long as you can keep your title.

The imperial court was very strict about the waste of food, because there was not enough food to eat and they had to rely on imports. Once a war broke out with the vassal state, the vassal state cut off the Ming Dynasty's food, and the Ming Dynasty would starve to death.

Therefore, the imperial court was doing its best to protect farmland, orchards, and woodlands, and it was also investing in the protection of important resources for farmers. And the population is so large that factories alone cannot support so much idle labor.

Then tie them to the land.

Working in the fields, you can earn about the same money as in a factory, which means that many small cities and rural areas have a large number of laborers. Even so, when the farming season is busy, there are still no people to hire.

People are not afraid of hardship, but they are afraid of having no work to do.

As long as you work, you will be paid, and you will be able to find work at any time, and people will be at ease.

In fact, people are very strange things. They are anxious when they have no work to do, and internally consumed when they are working. They are completely contradictory.

The so-called work is to give people a thought.

This person is the same. When he has a job, he is very ambitious. When he doesn't have a job, he is upset every day.

Daming will never give out money.

Giving out money will cultivate people's laziness, which is never allowed in the Ming Dynasty.

Most of the welfare provided by the imperial court to the private sector was in the form of subsidies, which were mainly tax-free and never paid.

This year, tractors became popular among the people.

The main reason is that there are more new factories and the labor gap is relatively large.

After calculation by the Ministry of Household Affairs, it can accommodate the labor force eliminated from the land, and these labor forces can enter the new factory.

So the tractor was launched.

Otherwise, with Ming’s technology, the tractor would have been launched five years ago.

Technology is a double-edged sword.

New technology is not necessarily a good thing, but it must be promoted quickly. It may also lead to low prices and harm to farmers.

Therefore, the court has to consider the gains and losses of interests.

If there is a sudden surge of labor in the market, it will lower the market price of the entire labor group and dampen enthusiasm. It is a trivial matter, but it is afraid of disrupting the normal operation of the entire market.

In recent years, the imperial court has focused on stability, focusing on how much labor is released here and how much labor is received there.

Keep market labor stable.

"Dad, Dad? Are you asleep again?" Zhu Jianji found that the old man's health was getting worse after the New Year, and he fell asleep after saying a few words.

Zhu Qiyu opened his eyelids: "I was thinking, where did I sleep?"

Just pull hard.

Zhu Jianjian suddenly didn't want his father to die.

One person alone cannot come up with the basic theoretical framework, he has to rely on his father.

He finally discovered that this old man's desire for survival was really terrible. He was seeking life for himself every step of the way.

"Have you written down everything I said?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

"It's all written down."

Zhu Qiyu slowly closed his eyes: "It would be great if Qiu Jun and Chen Xianzhang were still alive. They could enrich my theories."

Zhu Jianji asked someone to write it down, and he took it to the East Palace to see.

Lowering his head again, he found that the old man had fallen asleep again.

"Dad, the diversion channel for the Yenisei River has been dug. Qin Tianjian believes that the dragon's head is an auspicious day, so he chose that day to divert water into Altai, Kunlun, Qinghai, Gansu and Shaanxi provinces."

Zhu Qiyu slowly opened his eyes: "Has the entire northwest river channel been dug?"

"It's dug."

Zhu Jianjian said: "The sand has not been dug out enough. We are still digging, but it will not affect the water diversion."

"Well, is Yong'er still in the northwest? Ask Yong'er to preside over the water diversion ceremony."

Zhu Qiyu said: "He is your eldest grandson and will also be the emperor in the future. It is time for him to participate in politics early. There is no need to guard against him. How old are you? If you guard against another child, you will be laughed at."

You also know how old I am.

I am over sixty and I have not yet become emperor. Am I wronged?

Although Zhu Jianji was actually the emperor, he did not have the title of emperor, so his father had to share the credit.

"According to the Ministry of Industry's plan, we will expand a few more lakes so that water vapor can nourish the entire northwest and alleviate drought."

Zhu Qiyu suddenly asked: "By the way, should the trees on the Mongolian plateau be cut down this year?"

There have been no sandstorms in the capital for several years.

Thanks to planting trees in the north.

In particular, trees were planted on the Mongolian plateau to prevent the windy sand on the plateau from crossing the grassland and entering the capital.

“It stands to reason that it’s time to issue a felling permit.”

Zhu Jianzhen considered it and said: "But what my son means is that everything is focused on the capital. There is no shortage of wood in the Ming Dynasty. If there is a shortage of wood, we can buy it from South America. It is not much more expensive than cutting it ourselves."

"My son is mainly worried that after the trees on the Mongolian plateau are cut down, sandstorms will sweep across the capital again."

Zhu Jianzhen nodded slightly: "You are right to worry, but if this tree is not cut down, the cost of maintenance will be very high. You have to calculate this money into this year's finances."

"My son knows."

Zhu Qiyu pondered slightly: "Fourth brother, do you think there is any other way to make a living on the Mongolian plateau other than herding?"

"It's cold and desolate, what can you do?"

Zhu Jianjian shook his head: "How old is this? The few who are still herding have gone to the south to work. My son estimates that in the next thirty years, not even a single person will be seen on the entire Mongolian plateau. It is estimated that there will be only A few grazing plants.”

"When the three major rivers are successfully diverted, the north will also become prosperous."

“Then there will be no need to go to the south to work.”

What restricts the development of the north is firstly the lack of water, secondly the climate, and thirdly transportation, including river transport.

After the completion of the three major projects, all factors limiting the development of the north will disappear.

“What can you do on the Mongolian plateau?”

Zhu Qiyu didn't think about it anymore and asked again: "Is Bohai Province going to be filled out soon?"

"It can take as short as one year, or as long as three years. After filling in the Bohai Sea, we will fill in the Yellow Sea."

Zhu Qiyu was a little sad: "When I formulated the three major projects, I expected them to be a century-old project, but in your hands, maybe it can be completed before you die."

"Go get the map."

After the Western Region was split, the Ming Dynasty now has sixty-two provinces. If Altai Province is included, there are sixty-three provinces.

New map, marking the opening of rivers.

Zhu Qiyu put on his glasses, pointed at the three major rivers, and said slowly: "Within twenty years, the north will become prosperous, but there will be no ocean in the north."

“The South is rich and relies mainly on shipping.”

"International trade also mainly relies on sea transportation."

"After filling up the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, only three provinces in the north, Shandong, North Korea, and Yellow Sea Province, have coastal areas. Liaoning and Beizhili have become completely inland provinces."

Zhu Jianjian said, "Dad, sea transportation is important, but there are several new big rivers in the north, so river transportation can also be used."

"Last year, the Ministry of Industry launched a dredging project and believed that after reclamation, it would be more difficult for water vapor on the ocean to enter the northwest."

"Some experts have suggested that part of the northern frozen soil can be lost and blown up into a sea, similar to the Baltic Sea, and the warm currents of the Arctic Ocean can be introduced into the Ming Dynasty."

"In this way, not only will the northwest be saved, but the whole of Central Asia will benefit."

"We can also get an ice-free port in the Arctic Ocean."

Zhu Jianzhen pointed to the location on the map, mainly between the Ob River and the Yenisei River, and artificially blew up the land to create an ocean.

"Baltic Sea."

Zhu Qiyu muttered: "Moscow's warmth is due to the warm current of the Baltic Sea, so you want to create a Baltic Sea."

"How much does it cost?"

"The Ministry of Industry has not set a price, but my son probably won't be cheap."

Zhu Jianjian reported back: "The loss of a large area of ​​permafrost is nothing in terms of economic value. But the main arguments in the DPRK and China are that they are worried that such large-scale destruction of permafrost will cause the end of the world?"

“It’s better not to move on the frozen ground.”

Zhu Qiyu's face changed slightly: "In the past few years, prehistoric bacteria were dug up during the excavation of frozen soil in the Ming and Wei Dynasties. It's not safe."

"And the Baltic Sea is so big, how much land would have to be destroyed."

"It's all frozen soil. If bacteria spread..."

"No, it's too dangerous."

Zhu Jianjian sighed and nodded: "My son is also worried that he will completely change the earth and make it unbalanced, leading to the extinction of mankind."

"Scientists have said before that the extinction of any species on the earth may lead to the extinction of mankind."

Zhu Qiyu said: "I hate things like flies and cockroaches. I even hate all bugs."

"It was the 51st year of Jingtai. I wanted to completely eliminate the pesky mosquitoes."

"Scientists have made calculations that if humans extinguish any part of the biological chain, it may lead to the collapse of the entire biological chain."

"So I will let it go."

"Actually, I have been very cautious about the three major projects in recent years. I am really afraid that I will change the terrain of the mountains and rivers without authorization and wipe out the human race. I will be a sinner of history."

"So every major project requires several years or even ten years of calculation before construction begins."

"The water diversion plan also went through a three-year calculation period, two years of planning, and two years of preparing materials before construction started."

"In this regard, the DPRK and China are also worried that the northern permafrost forests do not have enough fresh water to nourish them, which will affect the earth's oxygen."

Zhu Qiyu sighed: "The idea of ​​creating a sea in the north is very good, but I think it is better not to implement it."

Zhu Jianji also felt that it was not too dangerous.

His main concern is that some prehistoric bacteria will appear in the frozen soil and wipe out mankind.

"After the three major projects, Ming Dynasty will stop fussing, that's it."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Our eyes can reach to the sky."

"Heaven?" Zhu Jianjian was surprised.

"A few years ago, someone flew into the sky. Sooner or later, Ming Dynasty will be able to build an airplane and fly in the sky."

Zhu Jianjian was slightly startled: "Airplane? Are you studying it?"

"Of course, I have six aircraft research institutes. They were established in Jingtai's forty-sixth year and have been researching them for twenty-four years now."

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Let me tell you more. The first aircraft of the Ming Dynasty has been successfully tested. However, the mechanical level is not enough and the gasoline purity is not enough. It is still being improved."

"When I fail, I will leave all the secrets to you."

"When the time comes, you can inherit my legacy and continue your research."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Fourth, have you thought about something?"

"Humans, are they controlled by others?"

"For example, if you want to do something, you often can't do it. The more you want it, the less you can get it. If you are thinking about something, it will be broken as soon as you say it. Nothing is satisfactory."

"The older a person lives, the more he accepts his fate."

"I am ninety-two years old this year. Do you think I have accepted my fate?"

Zhu Jianjian was surprised. He had always thought that the old man was a strong man who refused to accept his fate, but that didn't seem to be what the old man meant.

"destiny."

"I have never accepted my fate since I succeeded to the throne."

"Just start tossing like crazy."

"I was looking back on my life recently, and I found that I was back to the starting point after a lot of tossing and turning."

"Fate, this is fate."

Zhu Qiyu said slightly pessimistically: "What about you? Haven't you been fighting against fate? Did you win in the end?"

Zhu Jianjian frowned slightly and shook his head.

"The ancestors said that man can defeat nature, but the ancestors believe in fate the most."

“I actually don’t believe in fate.”

"On the contrary, I am thinking, is there a mysterious force controlling human beings in this world?"

"For example, if I raise a snail and the snail goes east, I will play with its head to make it go west."

"And that mysterious force controls humans in this way, too. In their eyes, we are just that snail."

"Whether it's me or ordinary people."

"They are all playthings in their hands."

These words frightened Zhu Jianjian: "Dad, you..."

"I'm not talking nonsense!"

Zhu Qiyu said unhappily: "Don't you understand such an obvious example? It's counterproductive! You will never get what you want!"

"Just like you want the throne, I obviously want the Zen throne, but everyone in the world won't give in, and I won't die, which makes you feel uncomfortable. Do you understand?"

Zhu Jianji smiled bitterly, can he say this?
"My son understands, my son understands."

"What you mean is that destiny actually has a mysterious force controlling human beings."

Zhu Jianjian asked: "Can you control everyone?"

"Of course!"

Zhu Qiyu can't explain this. When we enter the information age and can be controlled by computers with one click, we will be able to understand it.

"Then where is this power?" Zhu Jianyan felt that the old man was possessed by a demon.

Zhu Qiyu pointed to the sky: "The moon!"

"Ah?" Zhu Jianjian was confused. Do you want to fly into the sky? Oh, I understand. If you want me to fly a plane, just trick me into looking up at the sky. Just say so.

"Why are you always here? Oh my!"

"I'm talking to you!"

"That mysterious force is on the moon, and they control humans."

Zhu Qiyu said: "Don't think I'm talking nonsense. Go read the myths and legends. Ten thousand years ago, there was no moon in the sky. The moon suddenly appeared about ten thousand years ago!"

"The story of Hou Yi shooting down the sun is chilling."

"Is there a possibility that the moon is an alien spacecraft?"

"Suddenly appeared near the earth?"

"And you know the influence of the moon on the earth, right?"

Regarding tidal force, the Han Dynasty had calculations. The Han people have been calculating this tidal force for a long time.

With the development of astronomical telescopes, tidal forces can be accurately calculated.

"The rotation of the earth, the tilt angle of the earth, gravity, etc. are all related to tidal forces." Zhu Jianji replied.

"There's also climate change, because of the tilt of the earth, there are four seasons."

Zhu Qiyu said: "There is gravity, and gravity is also related to tidal force."

"Even people's feelings, emotions, and endocrine are all related to tidal forces."

"Don't you think it's weird?"

"Fourth Brother, have you ever thought about whether longevity is also related to tidal force?"

"If there was no tidal force, would people live longer?"

Zhu Qiyu is pure nonsense. Once there is no tidal force, the earth will stop rotating. What do you think will happen?
One side always faces the sun, and the other side never faces the sun.

Will the person live?
How about longevity?

Zhu Jianji was doubtful. After all, he had received an orthodox education, so he would not be fooled by two sentences: "Then will mankind perish?"

"Does it have anything to do with you? That's not important!"

Zhu Qiyu said with a straight face: "I suspect that the moon is an alien spacecraft. You try to understand the moon. I want to see if there are aliens controlling us!"

Stop pretending, show your cards.

You just want to fly.

"My son promises that he will continue to invest in research and development in all your laboratories." Zhu Jianji smiled bitterly, why did you go through such a big circle for such a simple thing.

"Fourth, aren't you interested in space at all?"

"Where have the human souls gone?"

"What's it like outside the earth!"

"Where is the end of the universe?"

I can answer the last question, Tieling.

Zhu Jianzhen really didn't want to know. He just wanted to know when the theory would be completed. By the way, I would like to ask, when will you die?

Playing the piano to a cow.

"Go and bring Taisun Xuan, and I'll tell him."

Zhu Jianjian still had some interest in space, but not much. It was too far away. He didn't expect to succeed, so he just wanted to participate in theoretical creation.

Zhu Qiyu told him to get lost: "Are you not interested in space at all?"

"If we don't engage in interstellar research and development, where will computers come from? Where will the technological revolution come from?"

"Tired."

Zhu Qiyu can be regarded as planting a seed for space exploration.

In fact, exploring space is indeed too ambitious.

Do you want to say it has practical effect?

Not really.

It is purely to satisfy curiosity and develop military strategy. In fact, no matter how many weapons are developed, it is not enough to fight a real war.

In the information age, we have to rely on people to fight wars. No matter how powerful the weapons are, they can only be used in field battles.

But why did we enter the era of StarCraft?
Zhu Qiyu thought that he could sow discord between the Ming Dynasty and the vassal states, and after his death, a world war would begin.

Technology often accompanies war.

The development of science and technology during the Taipei era had political overtones, so development was slow, which is human nature.

Everyone is lazy, and they won't work hard unless they are pushed to their necks.

Zhu Qiyu's plan for the future world structure is that one superpower has many powers. The Ming Dynasty is a super empire, and the Shang, Sui, Yuan, Zhou, Xia and other countries are multiple powers.

But peace means technological stagnation.

It is possible that the world will stay in the second industrial revolution and will not move towards the third industrial revolution.

Isn’t it time to bring some excitement to the world?
Zhu Qiyu touched his chin. If people are too comfortable, they will become inert. How about something exciting?
