The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 70 The Markets Needed by the Industrial Revolution
There is a place where one hundred households garrison land is located between Beiping and Tongxian County, where wheat is mainly grown.

In the area around Beiping, half of the land is planted with wheat, and the remaining half of the total is millet, rice and sorghum.

Zhu Gaochi and Tang Yun stood side by side, followed by Tang Yun's entourage, his own entourage, Zhu Neng, Li Biao, the hundreds of household officials here, and the chief banner officer.

The field is already full of green, but it is weeds and weeds that the people hate unceasingly. People use hoes to remove the weeds piece by piece.

There are also some military households who use oxen to plow the land to make the soil loose and breathable. Some even can't wait for the oxen to plow the land by their own father and son.

"Field work is hard." Zhu Gaochi sighed.

"It's really a blessing for the people of Beiping that the little prince can show mercy to the people." Tang Yun said with a full face that it should be so.

Everyone present deeply agreed with Tang Yun's statement.

Zhu Gaochi did not refute either.

The rulers of Ming Dynasty are backward in the 21st century, but in the era of heaven, earth, ruler, relatives and teachers, at least there is still a layer of spiritual shackles on their heads.

With spiritual and moral constraints and the supervision of social atmosphere, compared with the surrounding rulers, compared with the contemporary Western rulers, it is really a person.

If the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty went to sleep with the daughter of the common people, no matter whether the peasants were willing or not, he would be subconsciously disgusted by the social atmosphere and lead to impeachment by civil officials.

Scholars in the West tout this kind of behavior, and even package it up, making it a fairy tale spread around the world.

In short, in the [-]th and [-]th centuries, a ruler who loved the people was indeed lucky for the people.

"The poems of sympathy for farmers in the Tang Dynasty and those written by the Han people in the Yuan Dynasty are prosperous, and the people are suffering. When they die, the people are suffering. It can be said that the hardships of the people have been exhausted." Zhu Gaochi looked sad.

In a stable society, a noble son with morality, the people below should be happy from the bottom of their hearts.

really.

Hearing the lament of the young prince, Tang Yun, Zhu Neng, Li Biao, and even Zhang Quan all smiled.

"The hardships of farming are unsolvable. It can be said that you will reap what you sow, and if you are lazy today, you will reap less in the future."

Tang Yun felt that he was a hypocritical scholar and shouldn't let the eldest son be too soft. Although it was a good thing for him, since he called himself a lifelong uncle, he did his part to teach: "And I am sharp in the army, far more than before. Dynasty."

When it comes to the matter of guards, Tang Yun has a higher perspective than Zhu Neng. The end of the Ming Dynasty guards is related to the foundation of the country. Zhu Gaochi listened carefully and it is a valuable experience.

"Is it because I ordered the military households to provide the largest number of soldiers under the law of the army?" Compared with Tang Yun's pride in the guard, Zhu Gaochi did not have the inner feelings of this person.

"It's more than that." Tang Yun shook his head and explained: "Since ancient times, in the field of the camp, whether it is to use soldiers or civilians, they are all separated from the army and divided into separate divisions. The only system of our dynasty is to be idle in the guardhouse. In the open land, divide the army to fortify, cultivate and defend."

For ordinary people, even if they were his own children, Tang Yun didn't have such a good temper, but now he was full of interest.

In his eyes, it is a great honor to be able to teach the future King Yan.

Although the young prince is only 14 years old, and he hasn't even decided on his son's status, but these are not things that will happen sooner or later.

As the eldest son in the family, he naturally inherited the family business. In front of Zhu Gaochi, Tang Yun was very patient and spoke in detail.

"As far as [-]% strength is concerned, [-]% of the army's energy is to defend the city, and [-]% is to cultivate. But there is an army situation, and it comes from the morning to the evening. It is in the defense to reap the benefits of farming. The sharpness of the law is only our court. .”

"Not only can it be the most effective way to quell wars, but it also solves the long-standing disadvantages of the Tang and Song Dynasties, avoiding the collapse of the army due to lack of tax and family fleeing due to lack of support."

After listening to Tang Yun's introduction, Zhu Gaochi had a clearer understanding. In short, in Tang Yun's eyes, the current guard system is a good law.

"The trivial matters below are handled by the officials below. As the commander, the old man only needs to keep an eye on the officials of thousands of households and hundreds of households. If they do well, I will praise them; if they do not do well, I will Just take them as questions."

Tang Yun had been in contact with the Eldest Young Master for half a day, and had a little understanding of the Eldest Young Master.

Although he recognized the eldest son's character, he also felt that the eldest son paid too much attention to the people and things below, so he reminded him vaguely.

This person is teaching me, it seems that I still have a way of winning people's hearts.The corners of Zhu Gaochi's mouth curled up, and he responded quickly.

However, Zhu Gaochi did not accept Tang Yun's words.

Although this person is right, he is different from himself. He does not know the variables of history, so he naturally does not understand his own methods.

If there is no Jing Nan, Tang Yun is right.

Isn't there going to be Jing Difficulty? If you don't treat others wholeheartedly, why should others give up their lives to help you when you are weakest and in trouble?

Zhu Di has been doing pretty well, and I want to do better on the basis of Zhu Di, so that more people are willing to work for the Yan Palace.

Regardless of the changes in the industrial revolution, in the future, I can think of any way to eliminate Jing Difficulties, at least in terms of people's hearts, Zhu Gaochi will not relax.

Not every guard will serve in full service. The Ming Dynasty has nearly 200 million troops. If all of them serve normally, the rest consumption will not be counted. The monthly ration alone will cost 200 million shi, and the annual payment will be nearly 3000 million shi Military rations cannot be dragged down.

Therefore, in normal years, redundant soldiers who do not need to be engaged in ethics will stay in the guards to farm and farm instead of entering the camp for military service.

If the acres of land did not change much, even in the early Ming Dynasty, three generations would not be enough.

The original owner of his body was a short-lived ghost, and by his son's generation, the guard system had already existed in name only.

It happens to be three generations.

And this year is the 25th year of Hongwu, the guard system actually has some shortcomings, not as perfect as Tang Yun said.

There is no perfect law in the world. The time for the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people only takes 20 years, and the course of a generation can become outdated.

The only surefire way!
Only by making a fortune and building products, productivity is the root of civilization and progress. If productivity is not solved, all ideas are castles in the air.

Promote the industrial revolution, and Ming also has the technical conditions and economic market of the first industrial revolution, which can solve all problems, at least most of them.

In the [-]th century, Italy was the first stop of the Black Death in the West, killing half of Italy's population.

Not experiencing war, the population has decreased on a large scale, and the continuation of civilization has been preserved, so that Italy has a Renaissance environment.

Because people after the suffering suddenly found that they are rich, and in an environment where civilization has not been retrogressed, rich people began to have various ideas.

China also has this opportunity. For example, when the Ming Dynasty fell, new learning and new ideas had been widely circulated in Fujian and Zhejiang, and capitalism also began to sprout in economic thought.

Regardless of production, technology, tolerance, knowledge and other aspects of culture, there are conditions. For example, the war has rapidly reduced the population in the north and increased the per acre of land.

Changing dynasties is not terrible, what is terrible is the death of the world.

Pity.

The West can fall into the dark Middle Ages, and the East also has this experience, and the timing of it is too unfortunate.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the military households working in the fields.

Now is actually the best time.

In the early Ming Dynasty, whether it was military households or ordinary people, most of them still had surplus food and a little money in their hands, which could support the market needed by the industrial revolution.
