Daming 1805

When Zhu Jingyuan arrived at the original palace compound, he did nothing, slumped to recover his body, and went to bed early at night.

When I woke up the next morning, the shaky feeling was finally mostly gone.

After Zhu Jingyuan had breakfast, he was about to convene the main ministers of the Dashi Palace for a discussion, but the royal family's telegram was first sent by the palace book.

The telegram specially addressed to Zhu Jingyuan was sent a few days ago, but the content was not particularly urgent, so it was not sent until Zhu Jingyuan had rested.

After Zhu Jingyuan took it, he found it was quite a long time, so he took a closer look at it patiently.

His father, Zhu Jianyan, reminded himself that now that all the negotiations are over, he must start the administrative training.

According to the plan he discussed with his grandfather, the old emperor Zhu Zhongliang, he gave himself two choices.

First, return to Beijing in the spring of next year, and then delegate to the local grassroots as deputy mayor, according to the traditional standard model.

Second, you can try to start a new governance training model, participate in training in the vassal state, and start training from the construction of the capital of the Great Food Kingdom.

I already have the title of prince, which is a status that can only be obtained after the prince's training is completed.

At the same time, he is also the king of a vassal state, which is an impossible status for normal princes and grandchildren.

I naturally have a political entity that should be governed by myself.

At the same time, although the Dashi Country is large in size, its population is very sparse.

Especially Liusha County, the capital, has been immigrating from the mainland for three months, and now the population is less than 2.

On the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, it would be a relatively small county, or a relatively large township in a wealthy area.

In addition, it is an area that is undergoing all-out immigration construction, so it meets the starting standard for governance training.

At the same time, considering his own talents and abilities, simply managing and building Liusha County is a bit overkill.

In addition, "Governor Dashi, Daqinhai, Mozhou Region Military and Political Foreign Affairs".

Rectify and transform the local military and political institutions, supervise and train the local vassal kings and officials, convey and interpret the policies and laws of the imperial court, and educate and appease the people of all ethnic groups inside and outside.

In this way, the combination of grassroots practical training and high-level positions will not lose the experience of grassroots governance, and can continue to contribute to high-level affairs.

Two years later, he was transferred to Yinzhou to continue to preside over the construction of a place, and at the same time, he was in charge of the new Tianfu Huangzhuang in Yinzhou, and the governor of Yinzhou's military, political and foreign affairs.

Two years later, he was transferred to the Nanyang region to continue to preside over the construction of a place, and at the same time the governor of Tiannan and the military and political affairs of the Nanyang region.

Two years later, he was transferred to the Japanese region to continue to preside over the construction of one place, and at the same time, the governor of Japan, North Korea, and the military and political affairs of the Eastern Xianbei region.

Two years later, he returned to his native land, directly under the administration of a chief envoy, and at the same time the governor of Jiangnan or the military and political affairs of the Western Regions.

Another two years later, the area of ​​jurisdiction will be changed, from Jiangnan to the Western Regions, or from the Western Regions to Jiangnan.

Returned to Beijing two years later.

After reading the telegram, Zhu Jingyuan fell into deep thought.

Is this a concern that my workload is not saturated?

Grandpa, you really deserve to be the emperor of imperial capital!
After the Renwu Dynasty, Ming Dynasty strictly implemented the standard that "the prime minister must start from the state department, and the fierce general must be sent from the army".

In order to enter the central court and serve as a chief official at the ministerial level of various ministries, one must have grassroots work experience.

If you don't have one, you can only go from the staff to the cabinet, and you can't participate in decision-making affairs.

The current cabinet is actually a secretarial institution, and the status and authority of the Grand Scholars are not as good as those of the Shangshu.

The crown prince's training is absolutely not allowed to evade grassroots affairs, and he must go to the grassroots anyway.

However, the old emperor felt that it was a waste to put himself at the grassroots level for a few years, so he allowed himself to take over the military and political power in the area at the same time.

During the ten years of his local governance training, he ran through the areas controlled by Daming from the outside to the inside.

What is important is the so-called rectification, transformation, transmission, and enlightenment...

This is actually reform.

Let yourself supervise the effective implementation of the imperial court's policies, and at the same time make corresponding adjustments and plans according to local conditions.

The idealized goal, of course, is to truly integrate the entire Ming Dynasty into one, and completely eliminate the barriers and separation tendencies in various places.

If I can be in power in the future, the available talents in my place and the composition of my future court will not be based on a certain place.

Instead, they spread throughout the entire Ming Dynasty.

This is really cultivating himself as an heir, and absolutely not allowing himself to lie on top of black gold.

If you accept this task yourself...

I don't need to return to Beijing after the next year, and I don't even need the capital for the next 12 years.

If my three female students who yearn for the capital of the Ming Dynasty continue to follow me, they will not have to go to the capital for 12 years.

Come on, let's build a school locally, and reform the school wherever we go in the future.

Isn't it for discipline...

Zhu Jingyuan basically accepted the reality, and then continued to slump on the chair without moving.

The work for the next ten years has already been arranged for myself, which really makes people feel tired.

Ten minutes later, the main officials of the palace arrived, and Zhu Jingyuan cheered up again, and sat down at the head of the outer hall.

The courtiers sat down after seeing the ceremony, Zhu Jingyuan looked up at these own courtiers, most of them were relatively simple and honest.

Those who were not honest enough ran away when the original feudal states merged.

The rest are basically the type of Liu Zhixin and Xu Minghui, honest people from the original palaces.

However, if they can obtain fame and become officials of this level, their basic knowledge level and executive ability are no problem.

May be difficult to communicate and maintain relationships.

For this group of Zhu Jingyuan, it might be a good thing.

After Zhu Jingyuan read his father's telegram, his mentality has changed again.

Regarding the affairs of the Great Food Kingdom, it was originally a matter of pointing and pointing, but now it has become an active learning and training type of management.

After brewing his emotions for a while, Zhu Jingyuan looked at his simple and honest courtiers, and stopped talking nonsense:

"The most important thing in the Great Food Kingdom now, and the thing that I will personally watch at any time in the future, is only one thing.

"That's it: water.

"It's much more important than continuing to drill wells and produce oil, continue to immigrate and expand the land, and continue to build the palace.

"Controlling and ensuring water supply is not only to ensure our development and construction, but also the key to controlling this land."

Zhu Jingyuan's words immediately aroused voices of agreement and emotion.

There is really too little fresh water available in Quicksand City.

At the same time, the first thing Zhu Jingyuan announced at the beginning also left a good impression on his courtiers.

The king of my family deserves to be the youngest prince, and the prince who can preside over negotiations with Western countries.

Although young, he was able to grasp the key points and go straight to the core fundamental issues of the Great Food Kingdom.

There is no such thing as a big success, how big a city should be built, and how many immigrants should be moved.

After the Dashi Kingdom has oil, there will be basically no major problems in the future. The only worry is that the king will mess around.

Now that only worry is gone.

After a short pause, Zhu Jingyuan continued to explain his thoughts:
"To control water sources, of course, we should increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

"The first is open source.

"Don't worry about the nearby oasis, that thing won't last long.

"Drilling wells can be relied on in the short term, but not as a major and long-term dependency option.

"Because there is basically no rainfall to replenish the local area, the groundwater is pumped a little less.

"Groundwater is different from oil. The water layer is too close to the ground. If it is pumped too much, it may cause the city to collapse.

"So groundwater can only be used as a temporary supplementary water source in a state of last resort.

"Our main direction of attack in the future should be seawater desalination technology, because seawater is infinite.

"We have petroleum as energy supply, even if we distill seawater for use, the cost will not be unacceptably high.

"Anyway, we've only drilled a dozen wells, and the Royal Refinery won't be able to digest our oil supply."

There is underground fresh water in the Dashi Peninsula area.

In the geological history of the local area, there was a wet wave period, and the surface fresh water here was buried underground due to glaciers and geological activities.

It can be regarded as "fossil water".

Because there is no external supplement, the groundwater is non-renewable, so use less.

But the courtiers of the Great Food Kingdom were puzzled after hearing this.

It's not about desalination of seawater. Desalination of seawater is a very old technology, but it's not widely used.

The courtiers of the Great Food Kingdom pay special attention to water sources, and of course they all know something about seawater desalination.

Liu Zhixin stood up as a long history and asked:

"Your Majesty forgives the crime, and the ministers are puzzled. Why should the desalination of sea water be the main and groundwater as the supplement? Shouldn't it be the other way around?"

Zhu Jingyuan nodded as a matter of course and said:

"Yes, the desalination of seawater is the main reason. As I just said, the seawater is almost infinite, while the groundwater here is limited."

Liu Zhixin still doesn't understand:

"But desalination of seawater consumes fuel. Although the oil in the Great Food Country may be very rich, it should be limited, right?"

Zhu Jingyuan has no accurate judgment on whether oil is limited or not.

In the early publicity of the previous life, oil is a limited non-renewable resource, and it is expected to be used up in a certain year before it is gone.

But as we grow older, oil consumption continues to soar visible to the naked eye, but that expected deadline is constantly being pushed back.

Anyway, before the crossing, there was no sign that the oil was going to run out.

But now, as the owner of an oil-producing country, I still have to stand on the side of the theory of limited oil, so as to increase the value of oil.

But this does not mean that Zhu Jingyuan will consider saving energy and reducing emissions. If he wants to do it, he will let the Western countries do it.

So Zhu Jingyuan smiled and asked Liu Zhixin:
"Liu Qing, although the oil may be limited, who wants to live here after the oil here is exhausted?
"Before there was no oil, who would like to live here among my former uncles and brothers, as well as your colleagues?
"The environment in our Ming Dynasty is much better than here. After the oil here is exhausted, we just move the whole country.

"Not to mention the distance, isn't the coast of the Great Qin Sea and the foot of the southwest mountain much more comfortable than here?

"If the groundwater is pumped out and the oil is not pumped out, then we can only rely on sea water to desalinate it.

"So we have to pump the oil in the ground first, and keep the ground water as much as possible..."

Liu Zhixin and the other courtiers were obviously taken aback, and immediately recalled their previous life.

Then I felt that Zhu Jingyuan's statement was really reasonable.

If there is no oil here, who would want to be here...

So the courtiers nodded in agreement one after another.

Zhu Jingyuan saw that everyone agreed, so he continued to talk about his thoughts:
"We talked about open source, and then we talked about throttling.

"First of all, don't think about farming, don't think about farming in the desert, don't think about pumping groundwater here to make paddy fields and grow rice.

"Very important so I stress it three times.

"This king believes that the most correct direction is not to build a big city here in Liusha County.

"This is where we dig for oil, and we have prepared and planned from the beginning, and when the oil is gone, we will move the whole country.

"All the industries that don't have to stay here are planned to go elsewhere from the beginning.

"Place them on the coast of the Great Qin Sea, in the southwest of Dashi Peninsula, where there is more precipitation and the overall environment is more suitable for human life.

"Then build oil transportation pipelines to transport oil to the Great Qin Sea, the Red Sea, and the coasts of the Little Atlantic Ocean for sale, reducing local population exchanges.

"Build a railway linking Dashi at home and abroad, and transport vegetables and fruits from the coast of the Daqin Sea, Mesopotamia, Persia, Lucia, and Ottoman regions.

"Food is imported from Xintianfu, Nanyang, Lucia and other places.

"To sum up, it is to reduce the population, cities, and industrial scale around Liusha County as much as possible, and only retain industries related to oil exploration.

"Move everything else away, don't move ordinary residents here in the future, just workers and necessary supporting industries."

In Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, Saudi Arabia had no place to transfer the population, so they could only farm in the desert.

In Saudi Arabia, there is only a slightly humid area at the foot of the southwestern part of the peninsula, and the rest of the country is desert.

Zhu Jingyuan's Dashi country is not Saudi Arabia, it covers the entire Dashi peninsula, and extends to the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.

Although there are a few places with better climate, there are chief envoys directly under the imperial court.

But the Great Food Kingdom pays for the construction, and then the whole country is no problem, after all, it is still the territory of the Great Food Kingdom.
