Chapter 352 The reason for the rise of the Jurchens

then.

Zhu Xi looked at Lin Che and asked the next question: "Sir, in addition to talent, the art of construction depends entirely on the accumulation of experience."

"If you want to train officials who can support the new Ministry of Industry, the court will probably have to spend a lot of money."

Nowadays, many officials in the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty have used the projects planned by the imperial court to practice their skills.

Fortunately, we have experienced veterans to support us.

Although many projects cost a lot of money, they are always successfully completed.

However, if we train talents from scratch, they are proficient in creating talents.

The court must be prepared for the planned project to cause trouble or even fail.

You will have to spend a lot of money to get it.

“Big projects cost money, so why can’t we start with small projects?”

Lin Che looked at Zhu Xi strangely, not knowing what this kid was thinking.

He took a sip of wine and smiled: "Although the scale of the projects are different, their construction specifications and matters to be paid attention to during the process are all the same."

"Just like what I said before, large factories such as textile factories and shipyards can accumulate a lot of experience as long as they are built well."

As soon as he said this, Zhu Xi's face not only showed a ghostly expression.

He glanced at Lin Che guiltily, thinking that his husband had figured out that he secretly memorized the drawings.

At the same time, I thought about how to explain to my husband if he asked.

Fortunately, Lin Che's expression didn't change much.

Zhu Mingcai calmed down, but admired Lin Che's foresight.

It turns out that Mr. Li Jia knew about the problems existing in the Ministry of Industry a long time ago.

Moreover, he also thought of a strategy to deal with it.

After all, a factory is built from scratch.

Then he is responsible for managing the production of the factory and the supply of raw materials.

It can be said to be a very good way to accumulate construction experience.

Zhu Yuanzhang and three others were in the next room.

At this time, everyone was shocked by Lin Che's plan and couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear.

They didn't expect that they would be using this factory to benefit all people and gain glory for the ages.

It actually also has the function of giving training to officials of the new Ministry of Industry.

Liu Sanwu, who had doubted Lin Che's plan just now.

The old man's face was full of shame: "Mr. Lin has a far-sighted vision, and his long-term vision is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

"But I am short-sighted and believe that his strategy is imperfect, alas——"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Liu Sanwu's sigh, his face also burned a little.

He just felt that although Lin Che's plan was good, it was just an impractical vase.

I didn’t expect that people can take one step and see a hundred steps.

All preparations for the reform of the Ministry of Industry have been planned early.

This extraordinary farsightedness further confirmed the eldest prince's claim that Lin Che was a banished immortal.

Lin Che, who was eating and drinking in the room, didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Sanwu regarded him as a far-sighted immortal.

"Let's stop talking about the reform of the Ministry of Industry."

Lin Che chatted with Zhu Xi about the rules of the new work department and the personnel selection mechanism.

Then he asked Zhu Ping and Zhu Bai, "Do you have any other questions?"

"If not, our class today will follow the homework from the day before yesterday, right?"

When it came to the topic of homework, Zhu Ping and Zhu Bai both looked a little ugly.

The so-called homework was that when talking about Korea the day before yesterday, Lin Che casually mentioned something about the Jurchen Tatars. They also asked them to think about how a dog Tatar could become powerful?

Taking the Tang Dynasty as an example, it is not difficult to guess how the barbarians rose.

However, I think of the dog that is still crawling at Daming’s feet.

Two hundred years later, the Ming Dynasty actually replaced it, causing China to once again fall under the iron heel of the Tartar slaves.

Zhu Fang and the two were filled with panic.

I wish I could take the first step and exterminate these vicious dogs that turn against their masters.

After taking several deep breaths, Zhu Xi adjusted his angry attitude and started reporting in a low tone: "Sir, in my opinion, there are only two reasons why the Jurchen Tatars can rise."

"One is that the Liaodong elite you mentioned suffered heavy losses after the battle with the Japanese slaves."

"So we turn a blind eye to the Tatars' wanton annexation and the actions of other forces."

If the grassland barbarians want to rise, they can only annex each other.

So Zhu Chong easily guessed that one of the reasons why the Tatars became powerful.

After pausing for a moment, he continued: "As for the second reason, I think it has to do with civil servants."

"You said that in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, our military expenses were exploited at every level."

"I think this money was used to fight the Tartars. It's a pity that it didn't reach the hands of the soldiers, so that our Ming Dynasty suffered such a disaster."

When Zhu Ping said these words, his tone became louder unconsciously.

By the end, there was a bit more murderous intent in his tone.

Obviously still unable to accept it, Tartar slaves once again ran rampant in the Central Plains.

"You're only right about one thing."

After listening to Zhu Xi's analysis, Lin Che was not very satisfied with his answer.

He snorted and said, "You think those generals are too good, and you think the barbarians are too strong."

"When this group of Tatars rebelled, they only had thirteen pairs of armor. They exchanged their grandfather's life for them with the imperial court."

"The reason why they were able to rise rapidly has something to do with the self-respect of the Liaodong generals who raised the invaders."

In the war with the Japanese pirates, although the elites of Liaodong suffered many casualties, their power was still able to defeat the slaves.

It's a pity that Li Chengliang, the leader of Liaodong generals at that time.

He only thought about relying on the self-respect of the bandits, gaining more military merits, and using the money rewarded by the court to make up for the lost elites.

Little did he realize how much suffering the Tatars would later cause the Ming Dynasty.

After all, it is too common for barbarian tribes to merge with each other and rise and fall.

No one thought that the most loyal dog kneeling at Li Chengliang's feet would raise the banner of anti-Ming Dynasty.

Lin Che briefly told Zhu and Zhang about the past and present lives of Li Chengliang and Jiannu.

Zhu Fang lost control of his emotions in an instant: "The person who caused our Ming Dynasty to lose to the barbarians was named Li Chengliang, right?"

"Sir, do you know who this person's ancestor is? Does he hold any position in our Ming Dynasty now?"

Obviously, Zhu Xi intends to solve the problem from the source.

"Do you think that by killing Li Chengliang's ancestors, you can prevent future generations from supporting bandits?"

Lin Che reached out and gave Zhu Xi a blow in the head, reminding him to wake up.

Then he explained: "General Li Chengliang led the troops and horses in Liaodong, which created a great victory over the barbarians in Liaodong that had never been achieved in the more than two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty."

"He raised many barbarians as dogs under him, and the Jurchens were called Jiannu by the world because of their place of origin."

"However, these tribes did not stay under Li Chengliang for long. Basically, after they gained some strength, they were declared rebels by Li Chengliang, and then their heads were borrowed to report their merits to the court."

This is a set of tricks for cutting leeks.

Li Chengliang has been using it for fifty years and has never encountered a rollover situation.
