The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 489 The son and grandson have no filial piety at all
“The north of the Western Region must rely on governance, not swords and guns.”

Zhu Gaochi said.

Zhu Di did not dare to be careless about military and national affairs. This was also the first big move made by his father and son since they entered Beijing.

It goes without saying that things are done well.

If it is not done well, even if it is given to the outside world, others will say that the father and son are not as good as Zhu Yunwen, and the situation that was finally suppressed will become ripples again.

"Governance?"

Zhu Di didn't quite understand.

The north of the Western Region is not easy to govern. It implements the local official system. As long as they are willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty and maintain peace on the border, the two sides can exchange materials.

Zhu Gaochi adopted the Ming Dynasty's management policy in Yunnan and Guizhou, as well as Zuo Zongtang's policy.

That is governance.

"Hami is not a whole."

Zhu Di frowned and said: "The area around Hami City is Anke Timur's sphere of influence, and the south of Hami belongs to the sphere of influence of Andingwei and Hahaihudulu."

Zhu Gaochi listened calmly.

"The important thing is that these ranges are not stable for them." Zhu Di said seriously.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help laughing.

It seems that Zhu Di himself is more worried about their local instability than Anke Timur and Hahai Hudulu.

In fact, Zhu Gaochi understood Zhu Di's mood.

At the earliest, the Aduan Guard and Quxian Guard south of the Anding Guard and north of Kunlun had faded away due to local conquests, and the remaining forces were assigned to the Anding Guard by the Ming Dynasty.

There are only a few million people in 200 million square kilometers, but the conquests are continuous, one is ebbing and the other is ebbing, new forces are springing up, and they are disappearing like meteors.

This is the reason why Daming has a headache.

The chieftain who had just been absorbed today became familiar with the rules of the Ming Dynasty, but within a few years he would be killed by other tribes, or replaced by his own men.

Just like the period when rituals and music collapsed in the Central Plains: The emperor is the one who has strong soldiers and horses.

same.

Of course, whoever is stronger will be the leader of the tribe. They speak with swords. The competition is quite cruel. Wars continue all year round. The most painful thing is the local people.

Including the seemingly stable city of Hami, the largest force in Hami now has a tacit understanding with Ming Dynasty for several years.

But who would have thought that he could be poisoned, and Hami suddenly lost order and became chaos again.

Use a bad metaphor.

The Western powers preferred to retain the Qing Dynasty, rather than a Beiyang period in which warlords fought.

of course.

The Ming Dynasty is not a great power. The level of civilization of the Ming Dynasty is higher than that of the great powers, and it regards Hami as a country.

In history, after the Hami rebellion broke out, Guili Chihan swallowed Hami and sent envoys to Yingtian Mansion to submit to the Ming Dynasty, hoping to replace Anke Timur's title in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di wrote back and said that they were from the same country. He accepted Guili Chihan's submission as a vassal and paid tribute, which quickly stabilized the situation in Hami. The people who benefited the most were undoubtedly the local people who were freed from the war.

The Qing Dynasty would not.

The Qing Dynasty would directly slaughter all those who caused trouble.

The same is true for governance. The Ming Dynasty governed the southwest, while the Qing Dynasty governed the northwest.

After the Qing Dynasty massacred the local area, it moved many Han people to the area, but the place was not stable.

The local hostility towards the Han people had been antagonizing each other for hundreds of years, and the Qing rulers were firmly entrenched in the Diaoyutai.

The Ming Dynasty's governance in Yunnan and Guizhou seemed not as fast and effective as the Qing Dynasty, but it also moved people to Yunnan and Guizhou, and Yunnan and Guizhou were finally completely tied to the Central Plains.

Even at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was no big crisis for Yunnan and Guizhou to separate. It was not that the great powers did not take action against Yunnan and Guizhou, but that the local area did not respond to the provocation of the great powers.

These are all the achievements of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty managed conflicts, while the Qing Dynasty provoked them.

This is the difference.

Is it like Britain's divisive and provocative tactics in the colonies?
Britain never wanted the colonies to develop, but rather hoped that internal confrontation in the colonies would deepen the stability of its colonial rule.

What really stabilized that area was the decline in the control of the ruling class in the late Qing Dynasty, and the Han forces represented by Lin Zexu and Zuo Zongtang.

What they adopt is governance.

Lin Zexu and Zuo Zongtang brought productivity to that area. In just 20 years, they built water conservancy projects and reclaimed more than 900 million acres of land, laying the foundation for local prosperity.

There is the so-called "farming and mulberry trees are diversifying, and there are clusters of roads".

Development is the last word.

Only then can the area be truly aligned with the Central Plains, just like the Ming Dynasty's governance in Yunnan and Guizhou.

"My son plans to cultivate 900 million acres of mulberry fields in Yilibali and Hami, and implement a large-scale military household system for [-] households."

"The railway is about to be opened to traffic. It won't take 20 years, it will only take three years."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

"Uncle, send them all."

Zhu Di was stunned.

Zhu Di, the brother-in-law of Xu Huizu, was very speechless.

He actually didn't help his own brother-in-law.

Zhu Gaochi did not give up on Xu Huizu.

There is no doubt about Xu Huizu's talent. It would be a pity to waste it. Let's go to the frontier to shine and make contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

"This year is a good year. The operation of the grain points has resulted in too much grain in the national treasury. It cannot be wasted."

Zhu Gaochi became serious and said seriously.

There are pros and cons to everything.

Although grain points allowed the Ming Dynasty to control grain, the early Ming Dynasty was not the late Ming Dynasty, and there was a huge difference in the per capita acres of land.

There is too much food.

There is too much food and it is piled up in warehouses. This is not only a waste, but also harmful to the economy. It is also harmful to the stability of food prices.

Relocating hundreds of thousands of military households to Yili and Hami, and spending their accumulated grain, not only expanded the number of acres, but also strengthened the large-scale well system, and also stimulated the economic cycle and so on.

The benefits are countless.

"When Yili develops Li and Hami like Senan, people will make their choice with their feet."

Zhu Di nodded when he heard his son's plan.

The Taiji people in Senan Province were like boiling frogs in warm water, losing control of the herdsmen, and the herdsmen joined the local industry.

Just like the Jiajing Dynasty and Anda Khan stopped fighting, the herdsmen of Senan would put down their swords and guns in a few years.

From the day when the border areas were stabilized and the markets were opened, the control of the Senan Taiji people over the herdsmen was destined to decline.Because people's lives are better and they don't want to go to war anymore.

If no one listens to the Taijis, then they are not really Taijis.

The more areas that opened trade with the Ming Dynasty, the more harmonious they were with the Ming Dynasty. The more areas that did not get the trade links with the Ming Dynasty, the more they went to war with the Ming Dynasty and forced the Ming Dynasty to trade with each other.

And as long as you have read the contents of the mutual market, you will understand that the main benefit of the mutual market is Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention Ming Dynasty.

The Mongolian Taijis of the Qing Dynasty all owed debts to Shanxi merchants and actually worked for Shanxi merchants every year.

This is the inevitable model of economic development.

The same is true.

Yili managed to really develop Li and Hami, which had only a small population, and the local leaders were powerless to stop them.

People want to live a good life, that's human nature.

Hongwu 26 years.

Not counting other materials, the total grain tax amount is as high as 470 shi for rice and 450 shi for wheat.

Hongwu 31 years.

Eleven provinces and one region in the north, as well as the Yingtian Prefecture, collected countless grains. According to the proportion of the collection, it was as high as 920, 520 shi for rice and 730, [-] shi for wheat.

The increase in rice was 450 thirty-nine thousand and seventy stones, and that of wheat was 260 eighty-two thousand three hundred stones.

Other livestock, fish and beans are not included.

Mimai's tax revenue in the past five years has increased by 720 dan.

Each warehouse was full and piled up like a mountain outside the warehouse.

The local official warehouse is full.

Officials from eleven northern provinces and one region sent good news to the court.

At the end of the 31st year of Hongwu.

This ended the need for the south to supply food to the north since the Song Dynasty, and also created a massive surplus in food production.

Simultaneously.

Half a year after the New Army withdrew from Hami, Jiayuguan sent an urgent report to Yingtian Mansion.

Anke Timur was poisoned by Ghostly Red Khan.

Guili Chihan went south to Hami and captured the city of Hami. Hahai Hudulu led the Anding Guards to conquer Guilichihan and returned with a great defeat.

Tuotuo had only a few dozen riders to escape and sought protection at Jiayuguan.

The whole Hami suddenly became chaotic, and Jiayuguan also lost contact with Yili. Tuotuo asked the new army of Jiayuguan to come out and defeat Guili Chihan to avenge his uncle.

"After a year."

Zhu Di said.

At the end of the year, whoever wants to go to war will have to go out after spring.

New Year's Eve.

Countless people are busy.

On this day when Ming Dynasty’s tax revenue reaches a record high, it does not mean that there are no poor people in Ming Dynasty.

"Need 30 young men?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the number reported by Zhu Gaochi, he suspected that he had heard it wrong.

"Yes."

Zhu Gaochi said with certainty.

"How many new troops have you arranged?"

"fifty thousand."

Zhu Di laughed.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Di like a fool.

Yilibali and Hami have a total population of only a few 10. It takes 35 young men to quell Guilichi, and that's when [-] new troops are dispatched.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked suspiciously.

"The 30 young people are going to build Hami and Yili."

Zhu Yuanzhang understood.

This is not a rare thing.

At that time, he sent Xu Da and others to march north, with hundreds of thousands of troops. In addition to fighting, they were used to stay in the local area to increase the population and restore production.

But times have changed.

The original productivity was reduced as the population moved further north.

"I'm afraid the military households don't want to go."

Back then, people were poor, and whoever had land had no motivation.

In today's Ming Dynasty, not only everyone has enough food and clothing, but it has undergone earth-shaking changes from 30 years ago.

"Then divide the fields. Each family will be given a hundred acres, and they will never pay taxes." Zhu Di looked proud.

Zhu Yuanzhang disagreed.

This slogan sounds exciting, but in fact the left hand is replaced by the right hand.

However, the target is not only farmers, but also the rest of the population, and everyone has to pay to buy rations from the grain point.

This is also a disguised form of tax payment. With just one grain, the income of the right and left hand exceeds the entire tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty in the past.

"Even if only 30 of the 40 young people are left behind, if their families migrate there, there will be at least [-] to [-] people, plus the army and the local population."

"Sun Tzu plans to reclaim 900 million acres of local land in three years." Zhu Gaochi explained.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Then he left the palace.

Today is the opening day of Yingtianfu Grand Theater, but he asked Li Daoxin to book a private room early.

He is 71 years old.

Can't we think of some happiness?
His son and grandson would bother him over trivial matters, showing no sense of filial piety.

People's hearts are not ancient.
