I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1129

Tang Sai'er, who was hiding on the roof, was also amazed, and muttered to himself,

"I don't know if what the old emperor said is true or not. If what he said is true, that would be great. With this kind of ship, you can stay as far away from the territory of Ming Dynasty as possible, and you don't have to worry about it anymore. There is a threat from Daming.

Well, it's decided, we must get a few ships like that when we get a chance...

It seems... there is no need to make such a fuss, Zhu Zhanji is the prince, and his son is in charge of how many boats I want, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

That's it, wait to talk to Wanqing about it!
Today is finally not in vain, I heard a lot of interesting things without saying anything, and unexpectedly helped me solve the biggest problem right now..."

Naturally, it is impossible for the two of Li Tian to know that a mysterious person has already started to plan the steamship behind his back.

Zhu Yunqi was still very excited, and he had even started to imagine in his mind that before long, thousands of boats full of people of Ming Dynasty would be competing to sail out to sea on the waters of Daming.

However, he was also an emperor after all. Although he saw an extremely exciting future, he also smelled the danger contained in it.

After being silent for a while, he said solemnly,
"Gao Chi, although this is a good thing, it can solve one of the biggest burdens in Daming at once, but have you ever thought about it.

We, Ming Dynasty, now have a population of only 8000 to [-] million.

If the common people are allowed to flow overseas, wouldn't our Ming Dynasty be empty soon?

At that time, no one will be stationed on the frontier, and no one will cultivate the fields. The consequences may be more far-reaching and severe than those caused by these nobles. "

Li Tian was not in a hurry to answer his question, but poured a cup of hot tea for himself and him, and then said,
"I have naturally considered this issue.

Cousin, don't worry, this pioneering process is designated as a very long and large project. At least it will take seven or eight years to see results, and at most it may take 20 years. "

"Also, no matter how much the nobles gather the population, they are unlikely to get too many people.

Even if a noble can get tens of thousands of people to follow them, at most two or three million people would be willing to go to sea with them in the past few years.

After all, not every citizen is willing to leave their hometown and live overseas.

The loss of millions of people is not a big deal to Daming.

As long as our Daming is getting richer, and a government decree is issued at that time, as long as there are more children, the imperial court will give subsidies, and within a few years, our Daming's population will usher in an explosive growth.

After 20 years, it is not impossible for the total population of Ming Dynasty to double or even triple. "

When he said this, he paused for a while, his eyes gradually became sharper, and he continued after changing the subject,
"More importantly, I didn't intend to let too many Daming people go out.

If their population is not enough, they can recruit, rob, and cheat by themselves.

Not to mention the herdsmen in the lonely place of Mongolia, but the small countries around Ming Dynasty, Korea, Siam, and Dongying, although the population is not very large, there are still 3000 to [-] million in total.

These populations are all very high-quality pioneer labor! "

Hearing Li Tian's words suddenly, Zhu Yunxuan felt a sudden chill down his back, as if a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to Tianling.

He wasn't frightened by Li Tian's ruthless idea, but thought of another level.

In his opinion, what Li Tian said seems to be casual, and the possibility of realizing it does not seem to be very high.

But once it is really implemented, it will be a truly dead end strategy.

The herdsmen on the northern grasslands seemed to be extremely brave in battle, but that was mainly because if they didn't fight, they wouldn't invade Daming.

They can't survive, and their descendants can't survive, so they can be so desperate, so inhuman.

But if one day, someone tells them, I will give you food, seeds and land, you only need to pay [-]% of the harvested food every year as taxes, and the rest, no matter how much it is, will be your own.

Even a herdsman who has herded herds all his life, it is estimated that it is difficult to refuse such a good thing.

Needless to say, Ming only needs to get 200 million herdsmen from the grasslands, and the entire Mongolian people will suffer a devastating blow.

It may not be possible for them to organize an army capable of fighting against Ming Dynasty for tens or hundreds of years.

This is simply a more vicious and effective trick than drawing wages from the bottom of the pot.

Zhu Yunwen took a deep look at Li Tian, ​​who always had a faint smile on his face, and secretly marveled in his heart,

"This cousin is really a character who is not inferior to my fourth uncle, or even my grandfather.

If this matter can really be accomplished, it can be said that it can be completely resolved at once, the biggest threat and enemy of the Chinese nation in the north for thousands of years.

Such a scheming, such a boldness, from ancient times to the present, which emperor has ever had.

What kind of monster has come out of our old Zhu's family?

Why didn't I realize that this cousin, who was originally a bit fat, actually hides such an amazing soul in his small body..."

After sighing in his heart, Zhu Yunwen sat down on the reclining chair with weak legs and feet.

At this moment, the shock in his heart could be said to come in waves one after another, which made him almost stop breathing, and his hands and feet were almost out of control.

He said in an almost trembling voice,
"Gao Chi, how did you come up with this plan that is almost linked together, and when did you come up with it? Could it be that you came up with it in more than half a year?"

It is not unreasonable for him to ask such a question. Although he has become a monk, he still has some knowledge of the news in the palace, otherwise it is impossible to get some very secret news.

In the past, Zhu Gaochi could only be regarded as a benevolent monarch who was more than conservative and less than pioneering.

But what is shown now is an out-and-out domineering emperor, a person who is not at all inferior to any founding emperor who opened up a new dynasty in terms of ambition.

A person has undergone such a huge change in just half a year, which really makes Zhu Yunqi a little puzzled and confused.
"Could it be that he has been suppressing himself for more than 20 years when he was the prince?

If this is the case, then this person is too scary. "

Li Tian was still as calm as ever, he didn't take Zhu Yunqi's suspicion seriously, and just smiled slightly.
