……

Yang Tinglin looked at this "Development Outline" and his heart was full of excitement. Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of most of the content, he could see that it was a very aggressive innovation plan. It can be seen that His Royal Highness the Assistant Government wanted to create a prosperous Ming Dynasty. determination.

In fact, Zhu Linming's development plan also includes reform of the tax system and reform of the official system.It's just that these two are too sensitive, so he listed them separately, which is not included in the version that outsiders can see.

However, Yang Tinglin didn't see the income-generating content that he cared most about in this compendium. Instead, there were places to spend money everywhere.

He solemnly cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, this outline is ambitious, and it should be a move to create the prosperity of the year before last.

"However... His Highness said that there is a way to increase income, but the officials are stupid. Looking at the water conservancy, suppressing pirates, building workshops, promoting education, road construction and many other things that are just about to be done, these things are all things. Investing a lot of silver taels, this income..."

Zhu Linmei laughed and said, "What Yang Ge said is wrong.

"Such as suppressing pirates, building roads, and building factories, they seem to be investment, but in fact they are all income.

"As for water conservancy, it is a costly project, but the water conservancy I want is not a century-old project. It is enough to dig some small canals, or even a few wells.

"Oh, you probably don't know that these two crops, potatoes and sweet potatoes, especially sweet potatoes, can grow very well on sandy soil. If you plant three or four mu of land, you can irrigate it with shoulder-pick well water, but the grain yield is higher than that of rice. Three to five times."

Yang Tinglin didn't know much about these things, but he still said cautiously: "Your Highness, the national treasury is in short supply, and I think that the reduction of farmers' taxes and the increase of officials' salaries may be postponed..."

Zhu Linmi shook her head inwardly. Salary increases, tax cuts, military reforms, and mission office recruitment were all important measures for him to stabilize the foundation of Ming Dynasty.

These policies are aimed at officials, peasants, scholars and soldiers.

In the current Ming Dynasty, as long as the hearts of these groups are stable and firmly support the imperial court, it is impossible for the entire country to cause any disturbances.Only then can he successfully implement his own reform plan.

But he didn't expect Yang Tinglin to fully understand the "Development Outline". If Yang Butang understood everything, Daming wouldn't need him, a descendant, to save him.

Seeing that Yang Tinglin wanted to persuade him again, he had a thought and said, "Yang Butang, why don't we make a bet?"

"bet?"

Zhu Linmei nodded and said: "With a period of three years, if you strictly implement my strategy within three years, I promise to drive the Tartars to the north within this period, make the people live in peace, fill the treasury, and make the country strong until all nations come to court! "

Yang Tinglin looked at the young assistant king in shock, and his heart was full of pride. Three years? !If so, I can still witness the revival of the Ming Dynasty in my lifetime!

He then bowed solemnly and said: "Your Majesty will fully assist His Highness to create a prosperous world together!"

……

In front of the main hall of Prince Chen's Mansion, there was an old man and a young man respectfully saluting, "Congratulations to Your Highness for defeating the thieves in the South and restoring peace to the Tianxing Mansion."

It was Song Yingxing and Xu Erlu.

Zhu Linmei helped them up, and said with a smile, "You guys have counted."

The young man was a little ashamed and said: "At the beginning we returned to Fujian together with Yang Ge's department, but the students caught wind and cold on the way. Mr. Song was afraid that I would not be able to bear it, so he insisted on me resting in Guangguang for two days, so it was too late."

"Oh? How's your condition now, maybe let the imperial doctor take a look at it for you." Zhu Linmei said as she motioned for the two to sit down, and then asked for tea to be served.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, I'm well."

Song Yingxing continued from the side: "I have to worry about the affairs of the Military Weapons Bureau for so long, and I am also tired. I teach at Gezhi Academy from time to time, and my body can't take it anymore."

Weiyuan is the epigraph of Xu Erlu.Zhu Linmi wondered, "Weiyuan's older brothers and Mizhi have all arrived in Ganzhou, so why bother him with the students?"

Song Yingxing's face was full of joy, "Your Highness doesn't know something, since the Gezhi Academy has opened classes, there are an endless stream of students who come to sign up.

"Now there are three levels, with a total of more than 200 students. They are still too busy with only the students and secrets, which makes Wei come to teach a few sessions every three days."

Zhu Linming was taken aback. He really didn't expect so many people to be interested in science in Ming Dynasty where Confucianism and Taoism ruled.

In fact, since the Wanli period, a large number of translated European natural science works have been widely circulated in the Ming Dynasty.

Western learning is very popular among scholars, and has almost become a popular element.Many young people are obsessed with machinery such as clocks and watches, and many are obsessed with firearms such as guns and cannons, or astronomy and calendars.There are many talents emerging in these areas.

On the contrary, after entering the Qing Dynasty, driven by the ruling class, Western learning began to gradually decline.

Therefore, Song Yingxing's Gezhi Academy was built, and no literary fees were charged, and the scholars who came to study almost broke the gate.However, there are not many people who want to make achievements in this way, and more than [-]% of them come out of interest.

Song Yingxing said again: "The students here still want to ask Your Highness, the previous school building in Ganzhou is too narrow, can it be expanded?"

"Expand, we must expand!" Zhu Linmei immediately said, "Not only must the Gezhi Academy in Ganzhou be expanded, but also a new one will be built in Tianxing Mansion."

He paused at this point, frowned and said: "It's just that there may be insufficient teachers."

　Because I am a newcomer, I hope that all book friends will not hesitate to use monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, collections, likes, rewards, book reviews, chapter reviews, and five-star praise. I am deeply grateful!
