I'm a big dick

Chapter 627 Prelude
In the year of the catastrophe, we will help each other and tide over the difficulties together.

When the "Da Ming Forum" published a striking headline on the front page, many people immediately smelled the impending rain.

In ancient times, there was an ancient poem "the wine and meat of the Zhumen stinks, and the bones are frozen to death on the road". Although the articles in the newspapers did not quote them, there were many criticisms and criticisms of the vassals, nobles and others between the lines.

Luxurious houses, numerous servants, luxurious life... If you rely on your own labor or business income, then your enjoyment is justified.

But what about you, you can get something for nothing because of your ancestors' merits, or because of your status and blood relationship, and you can comfortably receive the imperial salary.

This was the case when the Liao Dynasty was suppressed and the rebellion was suppressed; it was still the case when the catastrophe struck.Where can we see the consciousness of sharing weal and woe with the country?

Public opinion first is the usual method used by the emperor.Obviously, the emperor is going to attack the vassals and nobles.

In the next few issues of newspapers, articles were published in succession, just listing numerical examples, listing all the burdens of the vassals and dignitaries on the country.

The Ze of the Gentleman, will be cut for the fifth generation.Regardless of whether it is counting from Taizu or Chengzu, the court has been regarded as benevolent and righteous.

The consecutive publications in the newspapers put great pressure on the vassals and nobles, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as panic.

It's not unknown, especially the suzerain vassal, the increase in the number of people, and the expenditure of the court, only counted from the Wanli period, it is shocking.

If things go on like this, Daming's finances will collapse sooner or later, and will be destroyed by the suzerain vassal.Even if you can support it, you can't do anything.

The cumbersome articles not only clearly exposed the harm of the nobles and vassals, but also made public the emperor's painstaking efforts to the world.

Zongxue, foundation, exchanging titles for officials, three-year salaries converted to other occupations, etc., let everyone know that the emperor tried his best for you, but you didn't make it.

The repeated bombardment of public opinion quickly pushed the suzerain vassal and the noble group to the opposite side.

Civil officials and ordinary people could not understand this group of incompetent people who are idle and waiting to die; while most of the newly promoted generals are trained in martial arts, relying on military merits for promotion, and have no affection for nobles.

Of course, another method of the emperor is to fight and pull.Those who have children who have served in the army and performed well have been named and commended in the newspapers.

Almost simultaneously with the public opinion is the action of the garrison. Including the Beijing camp, troops from all over the country are ordered to conduct a one-month intensive training, the most important content of which is training.

Everyone knows who the training is for.The princes and clans all over the country also understand that this is a deterrent, and it is the emperor holding a knife in front of their eyes!

I can't accept it, the emperor launched a ruthless attack, really disregarding his reputation, shameless, really deadly!
Everyone still remembers the fierce thunder of purging the officialdom.How many officials were killed and exiled, what great Confucians, famous scholars, and officials and gentry were cleaned up without leaving any sympathy.

At that time, the fierce battle in Liaodong was in full swing, and spending money was like flowing water. The emperor was insane because he was short of money.

Now is the catastrophe, and the emperor will start collecting money and fleece again!
Think whatever you want, I have made up my mind to deal with you parasites.

In November of the ninth year of the Apocalypse, Qianqiu Festival, not only the capital is decorated with lanterns and festoons, but also various celebration activities are carried out lively.Governments all over the Ming Dynasty also did their best to celebrate the emperor's birthday.

Even Shaanxi, where the province is experiencing severe drought, has celebrations.Each family even distributed ten catties of rice and a can of sea fish.

It is the first time in the inland area that people can eat Shanghai fish.There may have been dried fish in the past, but the taste is incomparable to the "canned" one.

Distributing rice and canned food to the people of Shaanxi was the emperor's money from internal funds, which bought a wave of people's hearts and helped the Shaanxi government to stabilize the people's hearts in the catastrophe.

"Long live Long live Long live!"

"Thousands of years are prosperous, and life is boundless!"

"The people burn incense and pray, and wish my emperor a healthy body..."

All the memorandums and titles in various places are all words of congratulations on the birthday. After hearing Liu Ruoyu's recitation, the emperor just smiled happily, and ordered him to put it away for storage, and rewarded him with a bottle of canned fruit.

Based on the emperor's suggestion and guidance, the Academy of Sciences repeatedly studied and tested, and finally successfully developed a method for preserving food for a long period of time without deterioration.

In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, high temperature and high pressure sealing.After the microscope was developed, the concept of microorganisms was no longer a fantasy.

The specific operation is to process the food well, put it into a bottle, heat it in boiling water, and plug it tightly with a cork while it is hot, or tie it with oil paper, wax, or thread to seal it, or seal it with a mud head like making wine. .

The emperor took out part of the funds and invested funds obtained from some vassal nobles, and jointly established three canning factories in Lushun, Chongming, and Shantou in joint ventures with the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

The varieties of canned food are mainly fish that are most readily available along the coast and fruits from the south. In the purchase list of the Ministry of War, canned fish has been listed as one of the military supplies.

The invention of canned food in history was due to war and the trade of great voyages.The supply of food for the army and the long-term need of fruits and vegetables by sailors at sea are all important factors that led to the advent of canned food.

In order to reduce costs, the current cans are all made of glazed ceramics, and glass jars are used for a small amount of tribute.

Distributing canned food to the disaster victims in Shaanxi is not only the emperor's charity, but also the first batch of royal purchases to support the canning factory.

From luxury goods to ordinary food, and then to export to make money, the emperor knew the way to go for canned food.

Canned and compressed food will change the form of war transportation and logistics, which is even more significant.

Moreover, the Maritime Chamber of Commerce is extremely optimistic about canned food, and has already planned to build factories in Qingdao, Hainan, and Mekong provinces for their seafarers.

The emperor turned around and went to the side hall, only to find that the two little princesses were eating happily with canned fruits.

"Father, you eat." The little princess licked her lips and picked up the can with only a little soup left.

The emperor chuckled, wiped his daughter's mouth with a silk handkerchief, and said: "Wash your mouth after eating, and don't eat too much, it will damage your teeth."

Uh-huh!The other little princess who was eating canned food nodded again and again, agreed happily, and ate happily.

There used to be only a large sand table in the side hall, but now there are more princess toys.There are small wooden horses, small carts, and balls made of fur.The palace people also often tidy up to avoid clutter in the house.

The emperor walked to the sand table, moved his gaze, and bet on the southwest.

The war against Burma, the biggest battle of the year, was also the emperor's most concerned one.

Although Myanmar has limited combat power, it has a geographical advantage, and the Ming army has to face climate problems.

In order to deal with the so-called miasma, the investment in this war is quite large.Mosquito nets, mosquito coils, tea, garlic, and various medicines are all well prepared.

After the Frost's Descent, the miasma and mosquitoes will be wiped out, and the actions of the Ming army will be smoother.

All is ready except for the opportunity.Just wait for the news from the front line to see how much victory the soldiers can achieve and how many captures they can get!
