Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 29: Born to Know Zhu Yuanzhang (For Collection)
In the middle of the night, several court ministers were still at Li Shanchang's place, discussing the issues raised by Lao Zhu about restoring national strength and people's livelihood.

"My subordinates believe that the most important thing at present is to completely ban all exorbitant taxes established by the former Yuan Dynasty. The newly attached state government will not pay food in two years and resume production quickly. The second is to divide the country's land into official land and private land. Land collection and rent, private land taxation and government rent are higher than private taxation, and the two should be treated differently."

Hu Weiyong paused and saw that the ministers present did not express anything, and then glanced at Li Shanchang who was sitting in the main seat, Li Shanchang gave Hu Weiyong a look to signal Hu Weiyong to continue.

"Thirdly, the barrenness of the land in the northern provinces is particularly serious right now. Preparations should be made to relocate the landless households in the five prefectures of Su, Song, Hang, Jia, and Hu to the barren areas in the north. The imperial court will provide cattle and rice seeds to make them Settlement and relocation, the people who migrated did not pay taxes for three years."

"Secondly, in addition to the civilian settlements, military settlements and commercial settlements should be widely established to carry out large-scale reclamation."

"Fifth, the imperial court should not be satisfied with the strategy of opening up wasteland and rescuing emergencies, and should formulate long-term plans now."

"The subordinates believe that within five years, the army and the people of the whole country should have enough food, within eight years, the national grain production should be restored to the level of the Yuan Dynasty, that is, the annual income should be more than 200 million tons, and within ten years, the national grain price should be reduced. It has dropped to the level of Tang Taizong's Zhenguan period, that is, Doumi, only three coins!"

Li Shanchang looked at the eloquent Hu Weiyong and couldn't help stroking his beard happily. He saw the right person, Hu Weiyong was still the quick-minded Hu Weiyong.

After Hu Weiyong said this, all the court officials present were shocked, as if they had seen the scene of the prosperous age.

In ancient times, when everyone had enough to eat and very few died of starvation, it was already a prosperous age. Of course, if Zhu Biao was here and could hear their voices, Zhu Biao would definitely tell them what a prosperous age is.

"Okay, not bad." Song Lian was the first to praise.

After Lu Chang and Liu Bowen looked at each other, they also showed a smile. As the Minister of the Household Department of the Two Dynasties, he realized that what Hu Weiyong said was indeed beautiful, but it was not so difficult to implement. Of course, Lu Chang silently calculated in his heart After a while, I found that it is not impossible, otherwise Lu Chang would refute when Hu Weiyong said it.

"Okay, since everyone thinks that Hu Weiyong's plan is feasible, I will write a note and pass it to the superior." Seeing that there was no objection from the people present, Li Shanchang clapped the table and confirmed it. After all, even he who is good at internal affairs All the experts felt that the plan proposed by Hu Weiyong before was feasible, and the result would be similar to Hu Weiyong's guess.

On the second day, after the court meeting, Zhu Biao took Zhu Biao and Tang He to the Science and Technology Bureau.

"Tang He, how effective are the new weapons and gunpowder?" Lao Zhu asked Tang He about the upgrade of weapons in the army.

"My superiors, the weapons and armor are much better than before. They are definitely the big killers on the battlefield. The gunpowder is also much more stable than before. There are very few problems during training. As for the weapons for the Northern Expeditionary Army As for the situation of the gunpowder, the third brother has not handed over the notebook, so I don’t know very well here.”

Tang Hena was full of praise for the new steel weapons and gunpowder. If they had such weapons when they first raised their troops, it would definitely speed up the time to unify the world.

Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng are all out of the question.

"That's fine. This time I heard that the Bureau of Science and Technology has developed a new kind of firecracker for us. Just go and have a look with us." Lao Zhu casually ordered, and then brought Tang He and Zhu Biao to the science and technology department. Bureau away.

"See Your Majesty!" Before Lao Zhu reached the gate of the Science and Technology Bureau, Ban Zhu had already led people to wait outside the gate. Just now, Zhu Biao sent his personal eunuch Wang Yong to come over to inform that the emperor would be here soon, so Ban Zhu Zhu and others waited at the gate early.

"Get up, let's hear from the crown prince that you just made a new type of firecracker, show us to have a look." Lao Zhu waved his big hand directly to make Ban Zhu and others unnecessary to be polite.

"Please, Your Majesty." Ban Zhu immediately stretched out his hand to ask Lao Zhu to go ahead.

On the campus of the Science and Technology Bureau.

"Well, Ban Zhu, why is the land covered with straw mats?" The first thing Lao Zhu saw when he arrived at the school grounds was a land covered with straw mats. of.

"Your Majesty, that is the concrete road just built by the Science and Technology Bureau this morning." Ban Zhu hurriedly ordered Wang Qi to go and lift the straw curtain to show the Emperor.

"Okay, we'll talk about the cement later, let's take a look at that today." A look of confusion suddenly floated across Lao Zhu's face.

"Father, it's a flintlock." Zhu Biao hurriedly whispered the name of the new firearm next to Lao Zhu.

"Yes, the flintlock. Hurry up and take out the flintlock. Don't you see that Marshal Tang is impatient?" Old Zhu didn't feel embarrassed, on the contrary, he didn't care at all.

"Well~ am I in a hurry? I'm in a hurry!" Tang He was even more confused. The new firecrackers were only told to him by Lao Zhu after he came down. Not looking forward to it at all.

"Yes, yes, the grass-roots present the flintlock guns to the emperor." Ban Zhu quickly ran to the side, opened a large wooden box, took out two flintlock guns from it, and walked towards Lao Zhu.

"Stop!" Er Hu's voice exploded on the school grounds when Ban Zhu took less than three steps.

Ban Zhu was a little overwhelmed at this moment, but then he understood, and stopped quickly, raising the flintlock in his hand as a signal.

"Okay, Erhu, let's trust Master Ban Zhu, Master Ban Zhu, bring the flintlock gun here!" Old Zhu stopped Erhu from going forward, after all, Erhu didn't understand this thing, so he had to classify it. Cast yourself an explanation.

"Your Majesty, this thing is a flintlock gun, and the grass-roots people were able to make it because of the drawings of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Ban Zhu sighed and handed the flintlock gun to Lao Zhu.

Old Zhu took it by hand, seeing that it looked like a flintlock gun, which looked neither like a long gun nor a firecracker. After looking at it once, he handed the flintlock gun to Tang He.

"Tang He, take a look." Lao Zhu didn't see anything himself, so he hoped that Generalissimo Tang He could see something.

Tang He took the gun, looked left and right, and even waved it twice. After that, he didn’t know what to say. He said it was a gun. How much gunpowder can be filled with such a small muzzle, and what power can there be if too little gunpowder is filled.

"Your majesty, I don't understand!" Tang He could only tell the truth, saving himself embarrassment for a while.

"Master Ban Zhu, don't tell Marshal Tang yet." Lao Zhu immediately ordered.

"As far as this is concerned, no one knows whether Lao Zhu understands it or not. Anyway, Ban Zhu explained it to Tang He later, not to Zhu Yuanzhang." Zhu Biao secretly lamented that Lao Zhu wanted face and good means.

"Observe the order." Ban Zhu hurriedly took another flintlock gun from Wang Qi, and began to explain the flintlock gun to Tang Heyi. As for Lao Zhu who stood aside, hey, our emperor doesn't need to listen. just understand.

Following Ban Zhu's continuous explanation, Lao Zhu quickly looked at the flintlock gun in his hand, and the effective range of this little gadget reached 50 meters when he pointed within 120 meters.

When Ban Zhu was talking about rifled flintlock guns, the eyes of Lao Zhu and Tang He were even more frightening. They would not miss the target within 150 meters, and the effective range of 260 meters. Can hit most of the.

"Your Majesty, I want to give it a try!" Tang He was a little moved by Ban Zhu's words, and hurriedly asked Lao Zhu for an order.

"Okay, Tang and you try this flintlock gun yourself, and see if it is really consistent with what Ban Zhu said." Lao Zhu is also happy. The Northern Expedition ends one day earlier, and Daming can save tens of thousands of stones. food, and how many people can be saved by the saved food.

"Wang Qi, hurry up and fill up gunpowder for Marshal Tang." Ban Zhu hurriedly ordered.

"Here comes."
