Chapter 82: Human Mouth
The Seventh Year of China has arrived.
After reading the report from the last county, Yun Zhao slowly closed the document and stood in front of the window, staring at the gray sky in silence.
The news in the report is very good, at least the food problem has been completely solved.
However, behind each report are comments from the Supervision Department.
There are many issues discussed in the comments. After being summarized one by one by secretary Li Guocheng, there are tens of thousands of them.
After Yun Zhao reviewed it, it was sent to Zhang Guozhu, and the Prime Minister's Office would implement the rectification.
Through this large-scale investigation, Yun Zhao found that the Ming Dynasty had basically solved the problem of eating, and the problems were all minor problems. It seems that the next step for the government is to solve the problem of food. What we do is administrative refinement.
During the war, people fled the wealthy areas of the plains and went to live in the mountains and forests. Now that the world is stable, the people should leave the mountains and forests where life is inconvenient and return to live in the plains.
As the population of the Ming Dynasty continued to increase, the land on the plains gradually became insufficient. Governments in various places began to organize the relocation of landless people to sparsely populated plains.
It’s just that this time, during the great immigration, the government no longer drove the people to the relocation site like sheep, and then randomly gave them some seeds and ignored farm tools. Instead, they set up resettlement in a planned manner. First, after the people move to the place, residences, land, roads, water sources, and water conservancy projects must be in place.
We must ensure that these places can be connected to trains in the future.
It must be ensured that after the people arrive at the relocation site in winter, they can start production and live in spring.
Yun Zhao requires that every residential area be designed according to the living needs of the city. In his opinion, these residential areas will evolve into cities sooner or later.
Spending more efforts now will be very beneficial to promoting the urbanization process.
After passing such harsh screening conditions, Yun Zhao found that there were not many suitable places.
God is not fair to China. There are not many plains and basins, and the population in these places has become a bit crowded. The reason why there are so many huge projects in later generations that are amazing to the world is actually because A last resort choice made out of extreme desperation.
Only a fool would dig into the mountains, open roads, and build bridges hundreds of meters high if they can build roads on flat ground.
If possible, Yun Zhao would rather not have those so-called miracles of the century appear in the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing that the scattered relatively flat lands marked on the map were mostly in the northwest and northeast, Yun Zhao sighed and set his sights on the Nanyang area where life was good.
There are large tracts of fertile land here, and there are endless wild fruits to eat. The crops here do not need to be managed, and the yield per mu is twice as high as in the northwest. You only need one pair of pants here for a year.You can live through the four seasons.
You only need to guard one strait here to make a lot of money, here...
"It's time to develop the Northeast."
Yun Zhao muttered to himself.
Secretary Yang Zhao whispered: "Your Majesty, it is bitterly cold in the Northeast, and the people may not be willing to go."
Yun Zhao smiled and said: "In the Northeast, one person can own more than thirty acres of land. Fertile fields, do you think they are willing to go?"
Yang Zhao said: "Nanyang is more suitable for people to live."
Yun Zhao spread his hands and said: "What about management?" /p>
Yang Zhao seemed to have thought about this problem, raised his head and said: "As long as the people live a good life."
Yun Zhao looked at Yang Zhao and smiled and said: "What do you mean? Can the Ming Dynasty be divided into countless countries?"
Yang Zhao lowered his head and said: "It's just not good for His Majesty."
Yun Zhao leaned on the back of the chair and looked at it. Asked Yang Zhao: "How did you come up with this idea?"
Yang Zhao said: "People-oriented."
"So, you like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Three Kingdoms era, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Do you like the Northern and Southern Dynasties, or do you think the Ming Dynasty does not need to be unified at all? I only need to take care of Guanzhong and Shuzhong, and ignore other places and let those people fight on their own?"
Yang Zhao? His face flushed red, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "That's not what I meant."
Yun Zhao crossed his hands, put them on the table and said, "Tell me what you think."
Yang Zhao organized a speech and said: "Autonomy is enough, and this is a major trend."
Yun Zhaodao: "In the past, the emperor of Zhou divided the countries and implemented the policy of co-ownership."< /p>
Yang Zhao said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Zhou has been here for eight hundred years!"
Yun Zhao smiled silently, pointed at Yang Zhao and said: "The people that Emperor Zhou used to rule were as many as I am in Guanzhong." "
Yang Zhao shook his head and said: "No."
"Do you know that my Yun family has been around for thousands of years?"
"Yes. "
"So, what did you think of Yun?"
Yang Zhao said with a gray face."
Yun Zhao. He waved his hand and said: "Go ahead. You are not suitable for politics or teaching. You are only suitable for being a transactional official. For example, going to Honglu Temple is a good choice."
Yang Zhao slowly He lowered his head, clasped his hands and saluted, then exited Yun Zhao's study.
Li Guocheng held a stack of documents and placed them on Yun Zhao's desk. He looked at Yang Zhao who was leaving and said to Yun Zhao: "The leader from Yushan University Hall."
Yun Zhao looked at it Li Guocheng glanced at Li Guocheng and said, "You have no mercy."
Li Guocheng said sternly: "Your Majesty did not give me the power to fire people, so I can only let him hit the wall by himself. However, this Yang Zhao is still A very thoughtful person
When he considers the welfare of the people in the world, he also considers it.His Majesty's interests, such as the sentence of Emperor Zhou for eight hundred years.
He actually did not say it clearly. He hoped that His Majesty could control the world, control the army of the whole world, and control the right to speak, but would not interfere with the autonomy of each place. He felt that the Ming Dynasty was too big. Yes, if everything is managed by the central government, it will cause a certain amount of political waste and low administrative efficiency.
Qian Tong set out from Hangzhou and traveled two and a half months before arriving in Yili. Zhao Hui set out from Yanjing and arrived in Malacca four months later. Both of them were traveling at an accelerated speed of 800 miles. On the way.
This shows the vast territory of our Ming Dynasty.
The only one that can compare with our Ming Dynasty is the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. How powerful the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was in the past, but it did not promote a unified country. This is what Yang Zhao wanted to say, but he didn’t finish it. His Majesty’s Blocked by power. "
Yun Zhao looked at Li Guocheng with a smile and said: "What do you think? "
Li Guocheng said simply: "This is pure fart. Unification is the basis for the Han people to survive to this day. Unification can gradually evolve our Ming Dynasty into a civilization that can have its own beliefs and lives. Instead of As a country, it is because we have been constantly dividing, reuniting, and reuniting for thousands of years that we can correct our mistakes time and time again and allow the Han clan to grow and prosper.
The only bad thing is that there is little development. Old wine is always put into new bottles, which wastes too much wealth in the world.
Yun Zhao smiled and nodded: "That's very good. If you and Yang Zhao have the same idea, I might send you to dig toilets for the rest of your life!" "
"Why not send Yang Zhao to dig toilets instead of sending him to Honglu Temple? Could it be that the toilet that Your Majesty thinks is Honglu Temple? ”
“Don’t bury Zhu Cunji, I have already tried my best to be a good Dahonglu. The reason why I punished you heavily and let Yang Zhao go lightly is because, I Allow Yang Zhao to make mistakes and have random thoughts, but you can't!
Now go to the Prime Minister's Office to see Zhang Guozhu's plan to break into Guandong. This time I am sitting in Yanjing to watch the great development of Liaodong with my own eyes. ”
“Who should I entrust to do this? "
"Xu Wuxiang, Xu Mazi. ”
Li Guocheng secretly looked at the emperor’s face and found that he didn’t seem to be angry, so there was no need to help Xu Wu. He wanted to say something nice. Xu Wu wanted to be named by the emperor to do important work. Although the glory will definitely be a lot of hardship, it is still very beneficial to Xu Wuxiang.
The emperor came to Yanjing, and Yanjing immediately restored its former imperial status. < /p>
Not to mention anything else, just those hawkers, when facing outsiders at this time, they always have a little more pride. After all, under the emperor's feet, the words "imperial city root" mean to them It is really important.
When the emperor came, he not only brought a lot of people, but also a lot of money. Among them, the most important thing was from Zheng County to Yanjing. The railway has begun exploring routes.
I heard that after taking the train, it only takes one day and one night to get from Luoyang to Yanjing, and it only takes two days to get from Chang'an to Yanjing, which is faster than the 800-mile express. .
I also heard that when the railway was being built, some kind of telegraph was also built at the same time. It didn’t take a pack of cigarettes to send words spoken in Yanjing to Chang’an.
Yenjing will be the second imperial capital to have a railway.
The Yanjing people are unfamiliar with railways and telegraphs, and no one has given them a certain amount of science education. Therefore, Yunzhao became a man who could drive a giant dragon to help him transport millions of kilograms of goods. The fairy emperor.
It is as famous as Dayu who drove Yinglong to carry soil to control floods.
He became a fairy emperor who could use his clairvoyance and his ears to help him deliver messages. He was as famous as the Yellow Emperor who fought against Chi You.
In short, the Yanjing people did a very good job of praising the emperor.
The government also likes the people to think this way. Even though they know it is false, they do not refute the rumor. They just think it is very encouraging and will help the government promote the railway in the future and increase the sense of recognition when it comes to trains.
Yunzhao has indeed begun planning a railway from Chang'an to Yanjing. He initially thought that the cost would be very high. However, after the construction costs were claimed by local governments, Yunzhao discovered that the country in Zhang Guozhu's hands was not needed. Money can build it successfully.
Today's local governments are very enthusiastic about building railways. Not only are they very enthusiastic, but even wealthy people from all over the country seem to be very interested in building railways.
Only in the matter of railway construction, Guanzhong still accommodates some private capital. Since the railway left Guanzhong, private capital has never been allowed to enter the railway.
