I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 429: Opening up wasteland to the north!The interests of Ming Dynasty!
Fengtian Temple.

early morning.

After the decision to relocate Haoqiang was implemented.

Every day, the DPRK received memorials from powerful people from various places regarding their decision to relocate, which clearly recorded the thoughts of each powerful person.

It is to move the capital.

Or should it be moved to the state capital where the chief secretaries' offices are located?

Or going to sea?

Or go north to open up wasteland.

Opinions of powerful people vary from place to place.

But in terms of effect.

Nowadays, there are signs of construction in the area of ​​the Ming Dynasty's capital specifically reserved for local powerful people.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty's powerful locals can't stand it any longer.

Came to the capital.

And these people will also receive a lot of hospitality from Zhu Yunxian. Just like a tree standing on the gate, Zhu Yunxian will always set an example for the powerful in the world!
Let them know.

The obedient tycoon will have meat to eat by following Zhu Yunzhen!

Although there will still be dissatisfaction among local powerful people, as long as they are divided well, there will only be a minority of local powerful people who dare to openly oppose Zhu Yunzhen!

Most powerful people dare not say a word!
But not all powerful people want to move to the capital.

The world is so big that there are no surprises.

There are actually local powerful people who want to go north to open up wasteland, and there are even local powerful people who want to go overseas.

But I don't know what they are thinking.

Perhaps they are also keenly aware that most of the land south of Ming Dynasty has been reclaimed and has a large population. Maybe going north is a good place, or overseas, where they can continue to enjoy their previous life.

It may even be better than the life before!
After all, in the colonies, even ordinary Ming people were head and shoulders above the local people.

Not to mention the rich and powerful local tyrants like them!

Therefore, it is not surprising that powerful people in these places want to go to sea or open up wasteland to the north.

But if you really want to go to sea or open up wasteland to the north, the difficulties you face are still huge. The first point is the shortage of manpower in the north.

Although the Tatar problem has been solved once and for all by Zhu Yunxian.

The people at the border will no longer be threatened by war, but the real problem in opening up wasteland is how to build the first batch of homes.

After all, people need to eat and drink water!

It is impossible to go to a place where there is nothing and settle down directly.

Moreover, it is not that there are no people in the Northeast. Instead, there are large numbers of savage tribes living in the mountains and forests.

It is very difficult to open up wasteland to the north, especially to the northeast!

Fortunately, the battlefields of the Ming Dynasty for 30 consecutive years were basically in the north. More than ten battles with the Beiyuan had already left nine out of ten rooms in the north empty.

Not many people live there at all.

There is still a large amount of uncultivated land in the territory north of the capital.

Regarding the matter of land reclamation, Zhu Yunzhen's idea was to first relocate the people to the Chief Secretary of Shandong and the Chief Secretary of Shanxi, and then move the people to the Chief Secretary of Peking.

Finally, people will be moved to the northeast.

If we just ignore it and move the people to the northeastern border, we simply don't care about the life and death of the people!

But even so.

It will certainly arouse opposition and dissatisfaction from many people.

After all, land reclamation is indeed profitable in the long run, but not all people are willing to give up their originally stable lives and go north to reclaim land.

Especially now that Ming Dynasty has completed the field harvest.

The people of the Ming Dynasty had fields in every household, and they also built reservoirs. No matter whether it was a severe drought or a flood, they were always guaranteed to have some harvest.

Naturally, this life can go on.

Under such circumstances, it would undoubtedly be difficult to mobilize the people of the Ming Dynasty to open up wasteland in the north.

Even to the people of Ming Dynasty, this is almost a bad policy!
But this matter is something we have to do!
Although Zhu Yunxuan had to think about the people of the world, he also had to think about Ming Dynasty!We must also consider the future people of Ming Dynasty!

If we don’t open up wasteland to the north.

In the future, when the population of Ming Dynasty doubles, it will reach [-] million people, [-] million people, or even [-]-[-] million people.

Can the land in the south alone support so many Ming people?
Can the people of Ming Dynasty be fed by food from overseas alone?

This is simply impossible!Because sea ships transport food, they will inevitably encounter wind and waves. No matter how well it is stored, it will definitely become moldy and diseased due to excessive moisture!
With the current technology of the Ming Dynasty, it would be great to be able to transport food back from the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty!

But how many big grain-producing countries are there around the Ming Dynasty?

The closest place to Daming with a large amount of cultivated land is Asan's side, but the distance to Asan's side is really too far.

It is not cost-effective to transport food back.

Therefore, it is necessary to open up wasteland to the north, and not only to the north of the Ming Dynasty, but also to the northeast that is not within the territory of the Ming Dynasty!
In the future, the Northeast will be the new granary of the Ming Dynasty!

This is the choice that truly serves the interests of Ming Dynasty!Perhaps the generation that opened up the wasteland will have a harder time, but what will be left to their descendants will be endless arable land!

Never worry about food!
"Xia Yuanji."

"I order you to compile a list of [-] households within ten days."

"Leave it to the local governments to organize the relocation of these people."

"The land to the north has been empty for a long time."

"It's time to take advantage of it!"

"By the way, those powerful men who want to go north to open up wasteland will be sent to places farther north."

"Right at the junction of Beiping and Northeast China."

"These people can be given the right to buy guns, but they cannot buy cannons, and each person can only have one gun."

Zhu Yunxuan looked serious.

Below, Xia Yuanji was shocked at first, and then understood the profound meaning of His Highness Taisun.

Opening up wasteland to the north has always been an important issue after the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

During the Hongwu period, Lao Zhu moved people to the north more than once to resume production.

But so far it has had little success.

After all, in the border areas, the Beiyuan people often went south to wreak havoc. They fought more than ten times in a row, and many places became deserted battlefields.

But it's different now.

At the center of the desert, it’s time to add more vitality to the north of the Ming Dynasty.

As for those places that are powerful.

Zhu Yunxuan directly sent them to the areas outside Peiping and let them fight with the savages in the northeast!

The vast blue sky and black earth belong to whoever grabs them.

However, in the end, they must all belong to Ming Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, take your orders!" Xia Yuanji cupped his hands, and another responsibility was added to the shoulders of the Ministry of Household Affairs, these [-] households.

From Tobe's point of view, maybe he is just a kid with a few lines on the roster.

But when it really happens to the people, it is enough to reverse the fate of a family for hundreds of years!From now on, stay away from your homeland and look for another place!
There is a heavy responsibility on the shoulders of the Ministry of Finance!
"Yang Shiqi."

"Your officials should also conduct more inspections to see if the local officials below have colluded with the powerful."

"Are there any people who were not originally on the list?"

"The local government finally tampered with the roster."

"These must be investigated! These must be assessed! Merit cannot be given for nothing!"

"You must really make a contribution to the Ming Dynasty before you can be promoted!"

"Instead of letting some corrupt officials give some money and get this official promoted!"

Yang Shiqi was named by Zhu Yunxu.

He quickly stood up.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Highness the Grand Sun attaches great importance to this matter, and naturally he does not dare to neglect it.

He said quickly: "Your Highness, please rest assured."

"The officials will conduct strict assessments and will never let anyone with no merit rise to the top!"

"Those who are capable are promoted and those who are unable are demoted. This has always been the rule of the Ministry of Officials!"

Zhu Yunzhen nodded with satisfaction.

He was relieved that Yang Shiqi was doing things.

For the people of the Ming Dynasty, it was enough to be fair and just.

Said: "That's very good."

"By the way, Gu intends to revise the Ming Dynasty Law. Regarding this matter, your advisory office will draw up a list for Gu."

"It would be good to see who is in charge of this."

"Retreat!"

Since the Ming Law had been revised several times before, many courtiers were not surprised.

So I wasn't too surprised.

On the contrary, most of them behaved extremely calmly.

After all, they also know that many things in the current Ming Law are actually wrong and no longer conform to the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty, so they naturally need to be revised.

Rectification!

What everyone is thinking about right now is still the two things Zhu Yunzhen confessed.

Migrate powerful people to Beijing!

The people went north to open up wasteland!
But they don’t know what kind of turmoil the new Ming law will cause in the Ming Dynasty!
........................

Capital.

When it came out that His Highness Taisun moved the powerful to Beijing and the people to open up wasteland to the north.

It immediately aroused widespread heated discussion.

All the people are speculating on His Highness Taisun's intentions, especially the exclusive area for powerful people that is already under construction, which makes the people of the capital even more guessing.

What big move is His Highness Taisun going to make?

Could it be said that His Highness Taisun actually has ideas about the suffering and poverty in the Northeast?

The people in the capital were discussing it hotly for a while, but no one knew what Zhu Yunzhen's purpose was. It couldn't be that such a large-scale relocation of people and powerful people was just to open up wasteland, right?

You know, since conquering overseas colonies and the Mobei Grassland in the north.

The Ming Dynasty had so much food that they didn’t know how much.

If it is to open up wasteland for food, this is obviously unnecessary!

But how could they have Zhu Yunxuan's long-term vision and be able to see the future pattern of the Ming Dynasty?How could they know that the land of suffering and poverty in their eyes was actually the land of Longxing in the future Qing Dynasty?
Although Zhu Yunxuan despised the Manchu style in his heart.

But we have to affirm that this northeastern land is simply a treasure land for China.

Not only does it have fertile soil like the Baishan Black Soil, but it also has vast plains. The most important thing is the Northeast, which will be an important heavy industrial area in the Ming Dynasty in the future!
A place that can truly create blood for the entire Ming Dynasty!
Just like the heart of Ming Dynasty, only this place that keeps beating can continuously deliver blood to Ming Dynasty from all over the world.

Because all overseas hegemony, in the end, is still military hegemony!

If there is no absolute military hegemony, how can we have unprecedented economic hegemony?
Therefore, Zhu Yunxuan is bound to win the Northeast!

But Zhu Yunxu's vision was too forward-thinking, and the people and officials of the Ming Dynasty didn't quite understand it. No one could understand Zhu Yunxu's painstaking efforts!Only by taking over the Northeast is the plan for the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years!

This is truly for the Ming Dynasty!

With this move, Zhu Yunxun was completely out of public concern!Not selfishly!Zhu Yunxu didn't want to see that there would be no important northeastern land on the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the future!

In Zhu Yunzhen's heart, in addition to the Northeast, there are also the Western Regions and the plateaus with an altitude of several thousand meters!
This is what Zhu Yunzhen cares about and values!

He did not expect that an unscrupulous descendant like Zhu Zhanji would appear in the future and give up all the great rivers and mountains conquered during the Hongwu and Yongle years!
To know.

Especially during the Yongle period, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was extremely huge!
Even compared to China in later generations, it was almost the same.

It is only slightly smaller than the territory during the heyday of the Mongolian Yuan and Manchu Qing Dynasties, but these were foreigners who settled in the Central Plains, and they themselves brought a large territory with them.

And it would be easier for these foreigners to surrender.

Unlike the Han Dynasty like the Ming Dynasty, which had naked hatred with many foreign races!

Every territory outside the territory requires the blood and flesh of the Han people to advance!
But during the Yongle period, all the territory that Zhu Di had conquered was surrendered to Zhu Zhanji, and was given away one after another!

Or he lost control due to rebellion.

The Western Region is gone.

The Northeast is gone.

The plateau is gone.

Even Mobei, who had been completely convinced by more than ten expeditions during the Hongwu period and five times during the Yongle period, was gone!
The territory of the Ming Dynasty was left with only a little bit seen by later generations.

This is definitely not the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yunxuan wants to see!
The Ming Dynasty that Zhu Yunxuan wanted to see was a majestic rooster like that of later generations!
Rather than a Ming Dynasty that is far from being called a hegemon!

That's why Zhu Yunzhen chose to open up wasteland, and he did it under the pressure of everyone. The officials didn't understand, the people didn't support it, and there was strong opposition from the powerful secretly.

For that one day.

Ming Dynasty can actually control these areas!Truly incorporate these places into the territory of the Ming Dynasty!

And just when the Ministry of Household Affairs was doing its best to deal with this matter.

A fierce quarrel was breaking out in the Advisory Office, and this quarrel was about Zhu Yunxun's decision to revise the Ming Law!
A brand new Ming Dynasty law!
Not only do they have different intentions, but they are also the Ming Law that truly defends legal rights!

One is under the auspices of Zhu Yunxuan.

A law that truly implements the legal spirit of later generations!
only if.

Only then can the people of Ming Dynasty truly see the existence of fairness and justice!
Instead of despair!

This is true awakening!

This is what Lao Zhu said, putting the common people of the world first!
