When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 25 The fourth child really likes to use eunuchs!
[Incorporating Annan directly into the territory of the Ming Dynasty would bring many benefits. 】

[First of all, it facilitated Zheng He's voyages to the West. Annan is located near the sea. It is a long and narrow area with a large number of natural harbors that can accommodate many ships. This is crucial for a long-distance fleet, so they can dock and rest. , replenish supplies and repair the hull. 】

[After Annan became a county of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had a legitimate reason to transport supplies to Annan, so that the fleet could replenish reserve forces at any time and train the navy. 】

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 13th year.

The corners of Zhu Di's mouth were almost raised to the sky, and there was an aura of pleasure in praising me all over his body.

When the princes saw Zhu Di's proud expression, they stepped back and distanced themselves, chatting together as if they hadn't seen him.
-
Ming Dynasty, Yongle 16th year.

Zhu Di was extremely proud when he saw the miracle affirming him, but he did not forget to teach Zhu Zhanji: "Jiaozhi must be firmly grasped, and other lands must be expanded. The future of the Ming Dynasty lies on the sea!" "
-
Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan.

Ever since he learned about overseas wealth from miracles, Li Shimin's mind was filled with the sea, and this time he even saw Jiaozhi, which was beneficial to the navy.

I have already sketched out a bright future in my mind. To win Jiaozhi is to win the navy in the future!
In the future, if you have a naval force, you will be the boss of the sea. If you become the boss of the sea, you can use the wealth at will. His Tang Dynasty will last for thousands of generations, and he himself will leave his name forever! ——
Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang could still keep his composure, but he couldn't help but raise Baiyue's importance to another level.

Although we are currently busy rectifying the internal situation, we must also plan ahead and prepare in advance.

[Annan received a lot of resources from the Ming Dynasty. Although it was not for himself, he could still drink some soup. But in fact, Annan did not develop, which also had a lot to do with Zhu Di. 】

Zhu Di couldn't laugh anymore: "I can't be a tyrant!"

[When the Ming Dynasty army attacked Annan, they killed nearly 5 people. Although it was not that many compared to the Ming Dynasty, the population of Annan at that time was also far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty. [-] people were close to [-]% of the population of Annan. one. 】

[The main reason for the decrease in population is not because of the war! 】
-
The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang sighed, but he also became interested in the main reason.

He rose up in the chaotic times at the end of the Qin Dynasty. At that time, the world was in chaos, wars were raging, and people died every day. This lasted for seven years. More than half of the population of the entire Central Plains was lost. Ten houses were empty, and uninhabited villages were everywhere.

Han Xin, Xiao He and others were also silent.

These generals are more aware of the number of people under their command. Except for themselves and a few personal guards, the remaining people have changed one batch after another.——
Eastern Han Dynasty, Jianwu 17 years.

Liu Xiu, who had successfully revitalized the Han Dynasty, was silent at this moment, although he had always been proud of it.

But he also knew that at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the population of the Han Dynasty dropped by more than half, almost catching up with the chaos and strife that caused the world when Taizu started his business.

It’s just that at this moment, he doesn’t know the bloody history of the Eastern Han Dynasty in the future. During the Three Kingdoms’ troubled times, more than 80.00% of the population will be lost!
Later, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were even more chaotic. The whole world was in turmoil, and no one could stay out of it! ——
Tang Dynasty, Wude Ninth Year.

Li Shimin's face was expressionless.He has always been considerate of the people's sentiments, and naturally knows how harmful a population reduction is. It will take a hundred years for the country to weaken. From a close look, there are fewer young people, and the harvest of food is not enough. It is estimated that there will be famine in the next few years!

The main reason for all this can be clearly seen from the past dynasties.

It's just a dispute between big shots, just for that position!
At this time, Li Shimin glanced darkly in the direction of Li Jiancheng, and silently made up his mind. For the sake of the people of Li, the dispute should not spread outside the capital!

Just within the imperial palace of the capital, solve it quickly and at once! ——
[What really hit Annan’s population development in the next few decades was Zhu Di’s order to select talents. 】

[Whether they are hermits in the mountains or old officials in the world, whether they are proficient in arithmetic in business or studying knowledge in schools, he has summoned them all to focus on a hero regardless of his origin. As long as he has a skill, Zhu Di will have it. . 】

[Under such circumstances, Annan, that is, outstanding craftsmen and learned people from Cochin, came to the Ming Dynasty one after another, approaching tens of thousands of people. 】

[Since ancient times, the number of technical talents has always been small. China's tradition has been that it is difficult to pass on knowledge. Annan has just changed its name to Jiaozhi and is weak and has average development. Nearly ten thousand people have already emptied Jiaozhi's talent reserve. 】

[You must know that even during the Yongle period of the prosperous period, the Ming Dynasty only had only 40 craftsmen, and it was good to send out half of them for various situations. How can a small place in Jiaozhi compare with the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty? 】

[These talents Zhu Di wanted have indeed made indelible contributions to the Ming Dynasty. 】

[For example, although Zhu Di moved the capital to Peking, and many wealthy merchants and court officials arrived, ordinary people would have to wait and see for a while. How should Peking develop during this period?This group of talents from Cochin played their part. 】

[These talents are not only craftsmen, but also many intellectuals. Intellectuals help the court stabilize its rule and govern the people. However, the intellectuals in Jiaozhi were taken away by Zhu Di. It is conceivable that the future development of Jiaozhi will be difficult! 】
-
Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 13th year.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought thoughtfully: He himself is also thirsty for talents, but there are a certain number of talents within the imperial court, and there are also foreign barbarians, but they are difficult to trust, and they need help in governing their country. Now they are installing the method of the fourth son to recruit talents as commanders and queens. , I, the Ming Dynasty, don’t have countless talents!

What is different from the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking is his sons. A group of princes have begun to complain about Zhu Di: "Fourth brother, you are too cruel. You directly poach other people's people. This is not the same as poaching other people's people." The grave is almost ready!

Zhu Di had an embarrassed smile on his face. Although he likes to fight and occupy land, he is such a good person!

[These talents from Jiaozhi contributed a lot to the Ming Dynasty. Some became eunuchs, in charge of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and some communicated with the court and foreigners. 】

[They all also adhered to Zhu Di's strategy of moving the capital north, and at the same time recommended numerous talents. Yu Qian was recommended by them, as well as capable people who improved gunpowder weapons. 】

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened again: "The fourth child really likes to use eunuchs!"

But when he saw these loyal eunuchs, he was not very angry. He just reminded Zhu Di not to forget Ben!
At the same time, he waved his hand: "Find out the Cochin man who improved his firearms. Since he has talent, let's work hard in this area!"
