Today's Ming country is strong.The territory has exceeded the beginning of the country.From the Beishan Buzheng Division, which was located on land near the present-day Sea of Okhotsk, all the way south to Sakhalin Island, then all the way to Kannai, and then to Haojing, all of them were the territory of the Ming Dynasty, not counting the various enclaves.Economically, benefiting from the technological revolution brought about by the steam engine, productivity increased substantially.The price is so cheap that ordinary people can wear gold and silver, and with the promotion of various high-yield grains and the application of chemical fertilizers brought about by the development of chemistry, there is no famine in the world.In addition, Daming is now the only industrial country in the world, while foreign countries are all agricultural countries.Almost all of the imported goods exchanged for exported goods are grains, except for minerals.For the sake of their own arrogant and lascivious life, foreign aristocrats basically exchanged grain for industrial products of the Ming Dynasty.And because of this, Daming's grain is now particularly surplus.Crops with relatively low nutritional value, such as sweet potatoes and corn, are no longer used for their own consumption in Daming's own agriculturally developed provinces, but are used to raise pigs, chickens, and ducks.As a result, the aquaculture industry began to develop substantially.In addition, with the increase in the income level of the people of the Ming Dynasty, the demand for meat has also increased, so the development of the aquaculture industry has been further promoted.Because of the increase in domestic demand for meat in the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the increase in income and the increase in the demand for animal fur, the animal husbandry industry is also highly developed.The number of cattle and sheep in the major pastoral areas under the direct rule of the Ming Dynasty was much higher than before, and because there was no exploitation by the Tatar aristocracy, the herdsmen's income in these places increased a lot.In addition, because the guns of the Ming Dynasty were already very powerful, the General Bureau of Ordnance Manufacturing had used mine mercury to create rifled guns for propellants.As a result, there are fewer and fewer dishonest herders who want to make a living from raiding.As a result, the herdsmen, who were wealthy and could no longer compete with the Ming guns, now only liked to sing and dance.Even in order to sell a large number of their cattle and sheep at a good price, and did not want the large amount of money they earned to be confiscated by the government, they have now become very docile and kind, and basically cooperate with the government's dispatch of their young and strong people to fight.Without the threat of the nomadic forces in the north, the people in Guannai naturally live a very peaceful life, and many Han people in the interior still do not know how to use swords.After all, there was no more Jiannu entry and plundering as in history.As a result, the number of people has risen exponentially.Not only in the south of the Yangtze River, but also in the north of Shanxi, Liaodong, and Jingshi, there are many large towns with tens of thousands of households.In the past, the traditional affluent areas such as Jiangnan, Huguang, and Guangdong already had several cities that never sleeped.Shaanxi, which was severely devastated by natural disasters, did not have a large-scale peasant uprising, nor did it even have the phenomenon of a hundred industries withering.As a passage along the Silk Road, the population of the city continued to increase due to the development of commerce.After all, no matter how bad Shaanxi is, it is better than Saiwai, so there are still many proletarian people in the south who migrate to these places to start businesses and bring the developed production technology of the south to Shaanxi.God's plan to cause chaos in Shaanxi and then destroy the entire Ming Dynasty has undoubtedly gone bankrupt.Li Zicheng, who ended the Ming Dynasty in history, is now living a very chic life in the South Asian subcontinent.He and Zhang Xianzhong, the backbone of the Daming World Development Company, were not their opponents for the Mughal Empire, which was in its golden age, and had ceded a lot of territory to the Ming in order to make peace.And Li Zicheng and these people became farmers of the Ming Dynasty here, selling a large amount of grain produced by themselves to the imperial court in the way of slave storage, and he became a big landlord in these places.Zhu Youxiao, who lived in the Qinzheng Hall of the Daming Garden, looked at the map of the Ming Dynasty territory of Nuoda, and reviewed the events that happened in the various places he ruled through the information provided by the telegraphs and inscriptions from all over the country.When his hand stopped at Daning, he knew that there was a railway there that was about to open to traffic, and that it would be the first railway in Daming, and the military goods that reached Jingshi by sea and canal would be transported to Daning in a shorter time, and then radiate to the entire outside of the Saiwai.When his hand rested on Ezo (Hokkaido), he knew that the king of Hirado, Zhu Yusong, was building a summer palace for him there because of the beautiful scenery and as a base for his future tours of the North Pole.When his hand rested on Manraka, he knew that his favored retainer Chen Xin was serving there as governor and preparing a fleet to go to the fabled Australia, in order to meet the increasing iron ore needs of the Ming Dynasty.Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile because of this, he didn't expect that now that he had only been the emperor for fifteen years, the Ming Dynasty had such a trend.But Zhu Youxiao was not satisfied with this.Because he is just past the age of his establishment, he is still a young emperor."
The forest resources of Siberia are what I want.""
The gold of the Americas is what I want.""
Europa, a land with a suitable climate, should be used as the agricultural base of the Ming Dynasty, and there should be no more industrial civilization."
Zhu Youxiao was thinking about it while asking his new concubine Du Hongyin to mark the content he wanted to mark in these places.With the improvement of the economic level of the people of the Ming Dynasty, coupled with the supremacy of the Han people, many scholars with new ideas such as Gu Yanwu and Wang Fuzhi opposed the castration of the Han people, in addition, in order to increase the number of Han people, so now Zhu Youxiao has issued an order to prohibit the Han men from the palace in the world, and no longer recruit men from the Han family in the palace, and even those who come from the palace will be severely punished.However, Zhu Youxiao considered that even if these foreign children have been sinicized, they are not of Han blood in the end, and they are naturally not suitable to become great eunuchs like Wei Zhongxian and Wang Chengen in the future, holding great power and participating in the affairs of the imperial court.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao planned to gradually change the existing internal affairs system, let the phenomenon of eunuchs participating in court politics gradually disappear, and gradually transfer the affairs of the inner court to the ministers who belonged to his own interest groups, so that in the future, those eunuchs could only engage in middle- and lower-class occupations.Zhu Youxiao knew that the reason why the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not have a eunuch dictatorship was because he had a group of Eight Banners nobles tied to the emperor's interests, and the emperor could control the imperial power without relying on eunuchs.Zhu Youxiao, on the other hand, had formed an aristocratic group tied to the emperor's interests, and this aristocratic group was all members of the Xingming Society and shareholders of major government-owned industries.These people are Zhu Youxiao's cronies.Zhu Youxiao intends to gradually rely on these people to maintain his power and status.As for whether these people will eventually become a major force and an obstacle to innovation within the empire because they control too much power and wealth, he can't care so much.After all, Zhu Youxiao had to admit that his own ability was limited, and he couldn't design a very perfect system, and in addition, even if he knew many systems that would look better in later generations, he didn't dare to copy them directly, and he had to consider whether the current Da Ming Shi was not suitable for such a system.However, Zhu Youxiao now only determined that the Ming Dynasty was now only suitable for the emperor and a group of nobles to become big capitalists, and then manipulated the entire empire to expand externally, and increased the wealth of the people of the entire empire through external expansion, so that the class contradictions have not been intensified.Because Zhu Youxiao did this at the beginning of his accession to the throne, and it proved that this was very successful, Bi Ziyan and other ministers were very enthusiastic about maintaining imperial power after becoming big capitalists.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao now only knows that he can trust these ministers who are tied to his own interests to ensure his power.The conversation turned back.In order to gradually let the eunuchs withdraw from the stage of history, Zhu Youxiao also let his concubines begin to take on some personal service and other internal work for himself, after all, he, the emperor, now has to accept concubines every once in a while, and these concubines can't be idle, just can do some internal work for him, so it is the concubine Du Hongyin who is staying by his side now and not a new eunuch.
