Daming: I was exposed by Zhu Di's Sims life!

Chapter 284 Emperor Hengjing: Glory Built on Ruins
[Outside the prosperous capital, the Han Dynasty is under suspicion, and the singing and singing are everywhere, while you are fighting against the overwhelming clerical cases at night in the military office. 】

[After His Majesty succeeded to the throne, the importance of the Ministry of War has risen sharply, and its position among the six ministries is second only to the Ministry of Officials.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is also known as "Tianguan" or "Otsuka Zai", while the Minister of the Ministry of War is also known as "Xiaguan" or "Da Sima". 】

[Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households are called the upper three ministries, while the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry are called the lower three ministries. 】

[Needless to say, the Ministry of Officials, which is in charge of the transfer of officials, has always been the head of the six departments. Except for the Ministry of Officials, most of the other five departments are arranged differently due to different dynasties.Although the Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of the world's money, but because the taxation has been stripped out and managed by the Taxation Court, the actual power has declined greatly. Department of Account Management. 】

[The first prime minister of the Hengjing Dynasty, Xia Yuanji, was born in the household department, and the chief minister of the cabinet concurrently served as the minister of six departments.The two later ministers of the cabinet, Yang Rong and Su Wu, both became the chief ministers of the cabinet after taking over the Ministry of household affairs. 】

[And the Ministry of War can rank among the top three, and it can even overwhelm the Ministry of Households because after His Majesty Emperor Hengjing ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty expanded too fast. In just nine years, the territory of the Ming Dynasty has almost Twice as much as Hongwu Dynasty! 】

[As the country becomes more and more extensive, the biggest benefits are nothing more than the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War.The wider the country, the more officials and troops in the world need to expand. In the 26th year of Hongwu, the total number of troops in the country was 280 million, which is an extremely astonishing number. 】

[At its peak, the Han Dynasty had a maximum total force of 70 troops. However, looking at the Han Dynasty, the standing force was only maintained at around 30.In the powerful Tang Dynasty, the national standing force was only 30; the Northern Song Dynasty, which invested 130% of the national fiscal revenue in the army, had less than 40 million at its peak; as for the Southern Song Dynasty, which lost a large amount of land, the national force remained at [-] Up and down. 】

[The total military strength of the Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Northern Song Dynasty, and Southern Song Dynasty was 270 million, and the total military strength of the four dynasties was less than the 280 million of the Hongwu Dynasty.However, in today's Hengjing Dynasty, the standing force is 650 million. 】

[650 million, this is the number after a large-scale disarmament. Before the large-scale disarmament, the national army of the Ming Dynasty was about 800 million. 】

"Fuck?"

Rao Zhu Di couldn't help being taken aback at this time.

The total strength of the country is 800 million!

What kind of number is this Nima? !

The national military strength of the Hengjing Dynasty was one-fifth of the total population of the Yongle Dynasty?

When the Hongwu Dynasty was founded, the total population of the Ming Dynasty was about 6000 million. By the second year of Yongle, the population had grown to 5000 million.

Under Zhu Di's conscientious governance, in the tenth year of Yongle, the total population of Daming had recovered to 500 million. However, after the 11th year of Yongle's statistics, it suddenly dropped to 100 million.It is not uncommon for some people to conceal the population. This kind of thing is not uncommon. The local government reduces taxes by concealing the population.

Fortunately, after Zhu Gaoxuan established the Tax Supervisory Court and reformed the tax system, this phenomenon was slightly eased.Because the local forces found that even if they concealed the population, they still had to pay taxes to the imperial court under the pressure of the tax supervisory court, and the tax rate of the black tax was much higher than that of the white tax. Clearly paid the tax.

Therefore, in just half a year after the establishment of the Tax Supervisory Court, the total population of the Yongle Dynasty surged to more than 7000 million!
Even though the total population has increased, the Hengjing Dynasty's 800 million troops are still terrifying. This is a suffocating figure. How can the court afford the 800 million troops?How did you manage it?
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has been conquering continuously, so the total military strength of the whole country has remained high. Zhu Di originally thought that the total military strength of 300 million was already the limit, because once this figure was exceeded, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty would not be able to bear it at all. It's going out of control!
Once the total military strength of the country exceeds the limit number, it will be irreparably destroyed. Doesn't Zhu Gaoyi know this truth?
Zhu Di couldn't figure it out, so he could only watch it patiently.

【The war brought about huge disasters. Countless people were displaced during the war. The flames of war flew across the fields like a swarm of locusts. Wherever it passed, there was no grass growing. Countless people died in the war. Not only did the army lose their lives, but more people died. Or civilians. 】

[Although His Majesty has never slaughtered civilians, war is war after all. In the flames of war, civilians will always die the most.When Ming's army faced a foreign race, it was impossible to delay their own fighters because they wanted to avoid the death of civilians in the enemy country. 】

[In the first year of Hengjing, Emperor Hengjing, who had just succeeded to the throne, launched a war and declared war on the Daluo Kingdom. At that time, you didn’t understand the new emperor’s thoughts. The identity of the slack, to persuade His Majesty to restrain his warlike heart, reform with the people, and bestow favor on the world! 】

【At that time, the new emperor read your memorial carefully, and called you into the palace to face the saint. You thought that the emperor suddenly realized that the prodigal son turned back. You regarded yourself as Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty, and your Majesty as Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. Please enter the palace to have an audience.However, what is waiting for you is not the emperor's favor, but the ruthless dismissal. 】

【The new emperor deprived you of all your posts. After the Daluo Kingdom was destroyed by the Ming army, it was re-established as Tianzhu Province, and you were appointed as a small official in the Tianzhu Chengxuan Political Envoy Division. 】

[That time was the darkest time in your life. You felt that you were born at the wrong time, but you couldn’t afford to be depressed even though you had great ambitions. Hengjing, a foolish king, has eyes and blind eyes and can’t know people.During that time, you drank too much and indulged in drunkenness and dreams all day long. 】

【However, Yu Qian is Yu Qian after all. It didn't take long for you to stand up again. Emperor Hengjing demoted you to be a small official, so you should be a good small official. You want to be the number one official in the world!You don't want to prove anything to the world or Emperor Hengjing, you just want to be yourself and be your ideal self. 】

Seeing this, Zhu Di sighed.

Yu Qian is a talent, but it's a pity that he is still too immature.

Based on Zhu Di's understanding of Zhu Gaoxuan, this kid is by no means a grandiose person, this is a person who has climbed to the extreme of strategy and scheming.The new emperor ascended the throne and went on a crusade. This is to announce to the world that the Ming Dynasty lost Emperor Yongle, but the Ming Dynasty did not suffer from a setback. The new emperor is still the most wise and heroic emperor. The national prestige.

Of course, the premise is that the emperor is really capable, otherwise, he should be honest and squatting at home. It is not shameful to be squatting at home.

Obviously, Zhu Gaoyi belongs to the kind of emperor who really has the ability.

Yu Qian was too young, he couldn't see these things, he looked up to the "emperor" from the standpoint of "people", and in the end he only saw clouds and mist enveloping him, but he couldn't see the top of the mountain.

If there is no accident, he should have stopped here for the rest of his life, and paid a heavy price for his youthful arrogance...

and many more!

Zhu Di suddenly realized a problem: Yu Qian was relegated to a minor official in the first year of Hengjing, but in the ninth year of Hengjing, Yu Qian was an important minister of the Ministry of War.

How did he do that?
In the previous two simulations of Zhu Gaoyi's identity as Emperor Hengjing, the first time was Zhu Gaoyi's domineering emperor when he first came to the throne, and the second time was when Zhu Gaoyi paved the way for the heir of the empire in his later years. In the two simulations, Zhu Di's eyes were only limited to Zhu Gaoyi How powerful Daming was after succeeding to the throne.

The simulation of Yu Qian this time took place in the early and mid-term of the Hengjing Dynasty, at the time of construction. From Yu Qian's perspective, he can appreciate more about the development of the empire.

This is a completely different experience. The first two times he simulated Heng Jingchao, he felt very proud and at ease.But this simulation, he felt completely outrageous.

Outrageous!
How did Zhu Gaoyi do these things?

This is no longer as simple as pulling a seedling to encourage growth. He is throwing a seed, and letting the seed take root and germinate the next day and quickly grow into a towering tree so that he can pick the fruit.

For other emperors from other dynasties, such tossing, not to mention the rapid development of the country, is clearly aimed at the rapid decline of the country!
However, in the hands of Zhu Gaoyi, Daming did not decline because of his too fast steps, but instead successfully climbed to the top again and again in a puzzling way!

[You have been a petty official in Tianzhu Province for three years, and three years of hard work have transformed you from a high-minded madman to a full-fledged official to a steady official.In the past three years, you have inspected every piece of land in Tianzhu Province, and you are surprised to find that the Daluo Kingdom after the fall of Ming Dynasty is too different from what you imagined. 】

[Da Ming destroyed the Da Luo Kingdom, but also established a glorious Tianzhu Province on the ruins of the Da Luo Kingdom. In just three years, Da Ming established one system after another in Tian Zhu.What the imperial court has done is not only the continuous establishment of Chinese academies to implement assimilation, simple brainwashing cannot solve the problem, they have brought Tianzhu Province to a new height, and let Tianzhu people live a life that they could not even imagine before. Abundant life. 】

【Destruction is the new life of redemption. 】

[As you want to understand these things, your personality becomes more and more stable, and you are determined to do your job well. You think there is nothing wrong with being a petty official.You have abandoned the Confucianism you have accepted since you were a child, because you feel that Confucianism is useless in doing practical things. Everything your Majesty does today runs counter to Confucianism, but Confucianism is in your Majesty's hands. How pale and powerless in front of his thoughts. 】

[If there is a god in the world, then this god will only be Emperor Hengjing. 】

[In the fourth year of Hengjing, His Majesty suddenly ordered you to be recalled to Beijing from Tianzhu Province, and promoted you to be the left servant of the third-rank military department. 】

[This can be said to be a step up to the sky. When you returned to the capital to face the saint, you bowed your head to His Majesty from the bottom of your heart. 】

【Only now do you understand that His Majesty didn't get angry and hide you because of your neglect back then. He valued your talent and let you hone in Tianzhu Province. You have gained a lot in these three years, and you can even It is said that "Tianzhu enlightened the Tao and transformed into a fairy."]

【You no longer complain to His Majesty in your heart, but reverence like looking up to a god. 】

[In the second year after you were promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of War retired and returned to his hometown. You took over the position of Master Shang Shu and became the new leader of the Ministry of War. 】

Zhu Di admired: "Good boy, so you played with me like this."

After reading the ins and outs of Yu Qian's five years as an official in the Hengjing Dynasty, Zhu Di can understand Zhu Gaoxuan's proficient way of being an imperial servant.

At first, it seemed that Yu Qian was hidden in snow, but in fact he was tempered. In the end, Yu Qian, who was rebellious and frivolous, was forged into a steady sharp blade, which made Yu Qian return to his heart.

Absolutely!
[You were reviewing documents at the Ministry of War, when you suddenly heard footsteps, and when you looked back, it was His Majesty who came unexpectedly. 】

[Your Majesty is wearing a red dragon robe, with his hands behind his back. He is even more majestic as an emperor in his prime, but in your eyes, His Majesty is very amiable. , I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."]

【"No problem." Your Majesty said with a slight smile, "I just passed by and saw your military office was brightly lit, so I came in to take a look. I didn't expect Yu Qing to light up the lanterns to fight at night on this Shangyuan Festival. I am very relieved, but I should rest You still have to rest, don't burn your body to death. Yu Qing is a good minister who governs the country, the cornerstone of the dynasty, and you are still young, so you should put your body first."]

【You are both flattered and confused when you hear this. 】

[I am flattered because of His Majesty's great love and praise, and I am stunned... because you think that today is the Lantern Festival, and every year on the Lantern Festival, His Majesty's itinerary should be fully arranged, and you should lead the inner palace from the second watch. The Chinese took a small car to the gate tower of Xuandemen to watch Aoshan Mountain. After that, there were a series of arrangements, and it was impossible to have time to pass by the Yamen of the Ministry of War.What's more, even if you look at the main entrance of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, you can't see that the lights in your office room are still on. 】

[This can only show one thing, that is, His Majesty specially took the time to come to the Ministry of War, and it is to see you. 】

[Thinking of this, you feel that your feet are light and light off the ground, and your thoughts are about to fly to the moon and Empress Chang'e side by side. Your Majesty actually came to visit you during the Shangyuan Festival, and he still misses you. How grand is this! kindness! 】

[But your Yu Qian’s way of thinking is very different from ordinary people. If it were someone else who was valued so much by His Majesty, you would just kneel down on the spot to show your loyalty and make a thousand-mile horse. Yu Bo Lechen is willing to die for His Majesty and die However, after you reacted, you picked up the paperwork and asked His Majesty for instructions on the spot. 】

[Just kidding, Shane is second, and work is the first. 】

[It’s useless to talk nonsense, doing two more facts is the greatest reward for His Majesty. 】

[You hold the document and say seriously: "I have a few things that I don't understand, please show your Majesty..."]
