The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 555: Collision with Zhu Yuanzhang’s Thoughts
Before the rise of railways, it took more than half a year for local official business in Guangxi to reach the imperial court. Now it only takes a month, and the changes that have come are even more profound.

After learning that Zhu Neng had wiped out [-] Jiaozhi rebels in one fell swoop, Zhu Gaochi knew that the situation was determined.

“The battle to regain Cochin was the longest one so far, and the reasons are all clear. Victory is the goal in this battle to pacify, and clearing out the opposition is also the top priority, so that Cochin can be truly stable. "

Zhu Gaochi said.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, quite dissatisfied.

"You just care too much about the people." Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he was the emperor who cared most about the people in history. He did not expect that his grandson cared more about the people than he did.

The Ming Dynasty was established at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

There was no population in the north, but the Yuan Dynasty was still powerful.

Northeast, North, Northwest, West, South, Southwest.
After hundreds of years of division, under the governance of the Hu people, the Han people in the border areas have been exhausted. Instead, they are filled with a large number of Semu people brought back by the Mongols from Central and Western Asia.

In the northeast and southwest, and in some areas, there are even no Han people.

"The reason is the same."

Zhu Yuanzhang reminded: "War is a means, not an end. We will recover these areas one by one. In addition to fighting, the foundation of real stability is to move a large number of people from the south to the north."

Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang paused.

The South was generally preserved, while the foundations of the North were destroyed.

People in the Jianghuai area eat three meals, while people in the north eat two meals. This is the difference.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about the immigration he organized originally, and never asked the people if they were willing, because the people must be unwilling.

So he started from the big households, dispersed them to various parts of the north, and then local people. Repeated year after year, it took 30 to [-] years to restore a large number of people in the northeast, north, northwest, southwest and other places. Figures of Han people.

Zhu Gaochi insisted: "Jiaozhi is different from other places."

Annan's royal family, ministers, and even scholars have exactly the same names as the Han people, the same bloodline, the same cultural inheritance, and the family genealogy is intact.

It only took the Ming Dynasty one year to pacify the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

In a real year, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate was stabilized, but Jiaozhi failed.

"My grandson will not force people to immigrate." Zhu Gaochi insisted.

He hated being forced the most.

"Confucius has long said that we must persuade the people, not force them. The people can teach them, but they cannot make them wise; the people can teach them, but they cannot force them. Forcing people to do things according to their own wishes is nothing more than failing to do things according to their own wishes. The common people are treated as human beings and only as tools.”

"Jiaochin needs inland immigrants, and immigration to the border areas is of long-term benefit to the Ming Dynasty. What the government needs to do is to be reasonable, tell the people about the benefits of immigration, and persuade the people to be willing to immigrate."

"Today, because of demand, if you are unreasonable and force the people, you will treat them like weeds tomorrow."

Zhu Gaochi said sharply: "Scholars are aloof and unwilling to bow their heads to reason for the common people, which violates the way of saints. It shows that in their hearts, they do not take the common people seriously and only regard them as cattle and horses. Only responsible scholars will be serious." Responsible, willing to devote energy to do what needs to be done, and not be afraid of trouble, so a government order forces you to do it.”

"Because of this, a good government order often turns into a bad thing due to problems with the execution of the officials below. This is the only way in the world."

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent.

What his grandson said made Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but reflect.

He has always loved the people.

But with the troubles in government affairs, I started to slack off more or less.

Yes.

Reasoning with the people and patiently persuading them is so troublesome and tedious, and it makes people exhausted. However, directly asking the people to obey a government order is what makes people comfortable, and being an official is easy.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and smiled happily: "You do better than us."

Zhu Gaochi did not deny it, but admitted it openly.

see.

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.

You have to be humble. My grandson doesn't know what humility is, but that's right. Back then, he was in Peiping, and he was said to have conquered the world. He even dared to rebel against his own grandfather, so what else would he not dare to do? What to do.

Zhu Gaochi understands the psychology of many officials.

It's just that they feel that what they do is right, but the common people don't understand current affairs and principles. It is obviously a good thing for the common people, but the common people don't understand it, but resist it and increase the trouble of the government. It can be said to be unruly.

Essentially, think of yourself as the parents of the people.

Parent official, parent official.

It can be described as a traditional officialdom atmosphere.

It’s just the idea of ​​​​a family and a world.

However, as the literacy rate increases, the use of this method will bring harm.

When the ancient aristocrats were in power, they relied on their fiefdoms and power to half-force and half-attract the common people, integrating them with themselves.

When it comes to the landlord class, relying on land and political preferential treatment, they also half force and half attract the common people to integrate with themselves.

It was on their own initiative that the common people put their land under the names of scholars who had achieved honors in the imperial examinations, because this would bring them benefits and exempt them from corvee and taxes.

The scholar feels that he is treating the people well, and that he can benefit and gain a good reputation in his hometown.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty has been unable to solve this problem.

Because the government cannot fight for the interests of the people, and it is even less willing to stoop to reason and persuade the people. In this case, the right to speak is naturally controlled by the squires.

Although the efficiency of persuading the people is not as fast as a decree, Zhu Gaochi still insists on the former.

The people can be taught the Way, but they cannot be made wise; the people can be taught the Way, but they cannot be forced.

This is what should really be done under the development of productive forces.

Otherwise, why would we support so many non-agricultural people?

Under the guidance of Zhu Gaochi, for more than a year, a large number of officials went to the places to tell the people the truth.

"People who immigrated to Cochin could obtain military status, become military households, and implement the large-scale well system in Cochin."

“What is the block well system?”

"It's about the reform of the health center not far away from you, more than [-] miles away. Aren't every family divided into [-] acres of land? This is the large-scale well system."

Officials in various places are assigned from the provincial government offices.

Wearing new official uniforms and riding mules, he went to the countryside and visited villages to preach the benefits of immigration.

"Nowadays, the conditions for becoming a military household are high, and it is difficult for ordinary people to change their registration. I don't need to explain the benefits of being a military household."

The official said with a smile.The official in his thirties is full of strength and looks like a big man.

"Have you ever been a soldier?"

Some people asked curiously.

"Ah."

"Being a soldier is well paid, but the training is also hard, and you have to read and write. Otherwise, I won't pass the exam. So I studied in the army, took the exam after I retired, and finally became an official and started a job in the court."

The local government was short of manpower, and a large number of patrol inspectors also became preachers.

The people looked envious.

In the context of a family with several sons, there are also military households in Peiping. Some families have more than a dozen sons, and many military households strongly support the idea of ​​allowing one son to serve as a soldier.

same.

Children from military families are also willing to serve as soldiers.

After serving in the army, you can get assigned jobs. Even if you return to your hometown, your inheritance rights will be given priority, or you can join the immigration and get more preferential treatment, etc.

Good policies must be beneficial to the people.

Although good policies are implemented, people often oppose them because they don't trust them.

This requires guidance and persuasion.

Only in the process of communication can both parties reach an agreement to effectively avoid policy deformation.

Otherwise, a decree can force people to do so, and the other hidden dangers and harm caused will be even greater.

North Parallel Province and Yingtianfu.

The increase in officials brought about new changes in the local area.

Areas other than Beiping Province and Yingtian Prefecture still maintain the traditional geographical appearance. After all, the Ming Dynasty's current national power is limited, so it can only change Beiping and Yingtian Prefecture first, and use points to lead to areas.

"From the Peiping and Yingtianfu areas, we mobilized 12 people and more than [-] households to immigrate to Jiaozhi." Xie Jin said in a dilemma.

Peiping and Yingtianfu themselves are the most prosperous places.

There are poor people too.

Therefore, there are many single people, and there are more than 12 households with only [-] people.

"Although the number is small, it is the result of hard work of persuasion, which is gratifying." Zhu Gaochi was not angry. A population of 20 is better. The number that can be obtained with a decree depends on whose current position you are standing at.

Zhu Gaochi knew it very well.

Live in the present and look to the future.

Instead of looking to the future, live in the present.

Many scholars only care about their own interests, and if they touch them in the slightest, it is a big deal. But when they touch the interests of others, they laugh happily.

Now Zhu Gaochi wants to change the officials' work style, starting from small things and doing it one by one.

Although it is impossible to end bureaucratic thinking, it is also laying the foundation for the future.

Civilization is not something that can be obtained easily; it requires hard work.

The Ministry of Accounts and the Food Stamp Bank came together.

"The Ming Dynasty spent too much money and food on Jiaozhi."

"After this war is over, the summer harvest in Jiaozhi and the withdrawal of the army will ease." Zhu Gaochi replied.

The development of the Ming Dynasty today is based on insufficient technology, manpower, and the mobilization of social resource allocation models. The major changes brought about are not machines producing machines in essence, and the second industrial revolution society that completely liberates traditional efficiency .

Social resources are limited.

During the recovery of Jiaozhi, at most, the food needed for nearly a million mouths was created out of thin air, all supplied by the mainland, plus other supplies. This was the fundamental reason why Zhu Gaochi agreed to the plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

Cochin.

The Ming Dynasty's new army relied on weapons, equipment and morale to become invincible.

At the same time, military discipline is strict and no harm is done to the local people.

in history.

Due to their initial victory, the Jiaozhi rebels fell into chaos in their internal struggle for power. Finally, in the face of Zhu Di's re-sent troops from the country, they regained their unity and unanimously fought against the Ming Dynasty.

now.

The early defeat prevented the leaders of the Cochin rebels from civil strife.

However, in the face of the powerful new army, the Cochin rebels did not dare to fight in the field. They fell into strategic passivity and were at risk of being defeated one by one.

Zhu Neng followed Zhu Di's request and maintained a calm attitude during the battle.

It is necessary to eliminate all hidden dangers in Jiaozhi through this war.

Especially south of Cochin.

Why are people in southern Cochin rebelling?

Because the Chinese do not constitute the majority in southern Cochin.

A large non-Chinese population was combined with the resistance forces of the previous dynasty. However, in the northern region of Cochin, where the Chinese make up the majority, there was no rebellion. This is the real reality.

In history, the Ming Dynasty failed in Jiaozhi.

It was mainly defeated by the resistance forces of the previous ruling class and the joint resistance of non-Chinese people.

Non-Chinese people were also involved in this war. When Cochin was restored to Annan, they came to the forefront and began to show their power.

This is betrayal of the nation.

There are at home and abroad.

Humanity is like that.

The landlord class will never hesitate to sell out the interests of the nation for its own interests.

same.

The capitalist class that has emerged to replace the landlord class will not hesitate to sell out the interests of the nation for its own interests.
