Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Wu Laoguo, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, has long been so happy that the two industrial groups are doing well. Now that a large amount of arms have been sold out, in exchange for a large amount of silver coins, they will be melted and flowed into the treasury. Like the previous Guo Butang, he has been living his life in a scrambling manner.

With the support of a lot of money, Wu Ganlai is naturally full of confidence.

The military expenditure of the Five Armies Commander's Mansion?

Approved, is [-] coins enough?If it is not enough, you can add another ten million guan!

How many more universities do you want to build?

No problem, build!The standard is built with reference to the standards of Luoyang University, Chang'an University, and Nanjing University. Don't be afraid of taking up too much land, don't be afraid of expensive labor, and don't be afraid of good materials. Good things can only be done with money!

How many will be built?

Shandong, Zhejiang, Liaodong, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guangdong, Jiaozhi, Myanmar, Duogansi, Xinming Island, first come to ten universities, and then build more universities in a few years!

Societies send students to county schools, county schools send students to prefectural schools, and then to universities. After universities, they can go to work as coolies in North-South Industrial Group, and then get more money for the national treasury.

Government school?County school?If anyone who is not open-eyed dares to treat the prefectural and county schools as a trifling matter, not to mention what will happen to the Hongbutang of the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War can take their skin off!

The cabinet and various ministers of the Ming Dynasty, including the Dudufu of the Five Armies, all recognized the importance of the Royal Academy, but they couldn't hold the Royal Academy in their hands. The demand for talents forced these people to settle for the second best. Universities get to work.

The ghost knows when the people in the Central Plains realized the importance of reading. Regardless of whether they can read or not, they have to do their best to help their children read and write. It seems to be a kind of nature since ancient times.

The same is true for the people of Ming Dynasty.

Because the imperial court continued to bring in money to subsidize it, it ensured that the children of every common people could complete their social studies and county schools, while prefectural schools and universities were admitted based on their ability, so the people of Ming Dynasty recognized a reason.

It is not a big deal for a child to graduate from a county school, but to be able to graduate from a prefectural school. If a child can graduate from a university, then it is really a blessing from the ancestors and the grace of the emperor.

After the flourishing of martial arts, Emperor Chongzhen once again took the carriage of Daming and began to run wildly on the road of education, and the benefits brought were obvious enough.

Although the technology of electricity is still under consideration, even with the guidance of Emperor Chongzhen, it has not been successfully tossed out, but from other aspects, it has an all-round influence on Daming.

The first is the battleship.

The North Sea Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet, and the South China Sea Fleet are the three most basic fleets. In addition, there are also the West Sea Fleet under preparation and various regional fleets, such as the Xinming Island Fleet, the Mughal Fleet, the Penglai Fleet, etc. .

Except for the three major fleets that have already been built, the remaining fleets and local navy are in a very embarrassing situation-there are soldiers but no ships.

The manpower of each fleet has been recruited long ago. Compared with the ministries and the North and South Industrial Groups, including those private workshops, the manpower needed by the fleet is not the same as the manpower they need.

No matter how good the government students are in the fleet, they have to learn from scratch honestly. The children of fishermen by the sea are the ones who can read a few more words, and they have an advantage over those students.

What is frustrating is that the army is becoming more and more popular now, not only ordinary people are vying for places to enter the army, but even those students from prefectural and county schools are also vying to be able to join the army , What is the Jinshi exam?Enough support?

Therefore, for each fleet, the problem of manpower is the best problem to solve, and the most troublesome problem is the problem of battleships.

It is really easy for Ming to equip these fleets. He can easily get enough ship materials from Xinming Island, Penglai Mainland, Cochin, and Myanmar.

However, no matter whether it is the military government or the Ministry of Industry, it seems that there is no plan to use wood to build ships at all. Even some old and scrapped ships in the three major fleets are directly disposed of and sold to the people.

The military government disliked that wooden ships were not as strong as iron-clad ships, and the Ministry of Industry disliked that wooden ships were not as easy as iron-clad ships-the two sides hit it off and decided that future warships would use iron-clad ships equipped with steam engines, and all original warships were stopped.

The army has nothing to say. It is still the routine of artillery washing the ground and muskets queuing up to shoot. The difference is that more tactics have been derived as the military government explores firearm tactics.

Some people have already started thinking about miniaturizing the steam engine, installing it on the carriage and wrapping it with iron plates, leaving shooting holes for the soldiers. How safe is this?

In addition to the impact on the military, the further development of education has a great impact on the civilian population.

Before, there were people who wanted to stir up the situation in the dark, and wanted to pour dirty water on Chen Zuqi and the hybrid grains. Emperor Chongzhen, who had long been disgusted by those wise and retarded people in later generations, would naturally not be soft-hearted. He deserved to be killed. Exile in exile, and later simply played the Chongzhen version of Strike Hard.

To eradicate evil, all social vitality groups are suppressed, and all those people who talk about it are also suppressed, and then these bastards are thrown on the construction site of the Ministry of Railways to work and atone for their sins.

The newspapers naturally exaggerated the orders of Emperor Chongzhen, and the people were influenced by the news secretly spread by newspapers and Jinyiwei, so they would naturally think that Emperor Chongzhen had to deal with a batch of dregs cruelly because he loved the people like a son.

Ever since those bastards who were full and wanted to turn back the clock were suppressed by Emperor Chongzhen, a large number of people began to turn their attention to other places, especially those who held a lot of land in their hands.

For example, the guy who got involved in the steel industry at the earliest time, because he got involved early, his technology and contacts are relatively mature, and the capital invested in the early years has already been paid back, and now he has started to make a lot of money.

Under such circumstances, many people who originally had a lot of land in their hands began to be moved.

Although these people have not seen all kinds of things in later generations, nor have they experienced the baptism of the Internet, but few of these people who can sit on a large area of ​​land are really fools.

After discovering the court's determination to deal with hybrid grains and grain prices, these people began to think about other ways out.

It is not impossible to continue to stick to the land, but no matter how hard the land is digged, there are only those worthless grains, even if it is made into wine and sold, it will not make much money, so it is better to start getting involved in other industries.

The impact of education on Ming Dynasty was almost all-round, and it took nearly 20 years for this process to show its due power.

Emperor Chongzhen now attaches great importance to education, and Europa also begins to attach importance to education, but Europa seems to be a bit off the road of education-although the two subjects of physics and chemistry have long existed, they have not received much attention.

On the contrary, most of the universities in Europe are now church universities, or Protestantism, or Puritanism. In short, most of them still focus on doctrine, and the emphasis is not on physics and chemistry at all.

Not only that, the current war in Europe is of great benefit to Ming Dynasty, and it is also of great benefit to many Europeans.

For example, the Dutch East India Company represented by Cohen.

The British East India Company is finished. Now the Dutch East India Company is the most useful in the European market, not the British East India Company. Even if the British East India Company has the support of the English government, it is the same-now those British guys There are a lot of things about myself that have not been resolved, so how can I still think about competing with the Netherlands in Europe?

In the smoky conference room, Cohen slammed his pipe on the table, frowned and said: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, now is a good time for us to expand, stop all your crap and discuss it." business?"

Cornelius Lansing laughed loudly: "What else is there to discuss? Now those British guys haven't wiped their asses clean, we just need to sell them the weapons and equipment from the Far East, so that They just keep fighting.

As for the rest, do we still need to care?We are merchants, what we have to do is to sell them weapons to let them fight, and then buy slaves from them, and then sell them to Daming in the Far East, and then buy weapons from Daming and sell them, look, silver coins in vain It fell into our pockets.

Now I feel that the arms business is much stronger than the drug business. Everyone in Europe needs arms, not everyone needs drugs. "

Lansing's words made everyone in the conference room laugh.

That's right, not everyone needs Fushou Gao, because the price of Fushou Gao is too high, not everyone can afford it.

But arms are different, no matter how expensive the price of arms is, both sides in the war need this thing, even civilians also need this thing to protect their own safety.

After laughing, Cohen said: "Of course, everyone needs ammunition to protect their own safety, but don't you think these muskets are too big?

The size of these muskets should become smaller. Not only can they be sold to the commoners so that they can use muskets to defend themselves, but also some gorgeous and exquisite special versions can be sold to the nobles.

But that's another story, and what I'm going to say now is, what about the damn indulgences?Shall we just watch the church snatch the silver coins from our pockets? "

PS: Back to Shenyang tonight.

Chapter 762

Cornelius Lansing sneered: "God's to God, Caesar's to Caesar, obviously God's is not to the Holy See.

Now these people in the Holy See can do anything for those gold and silver coins, no matter how bottomless things are.Obviously, they have turned their backs on God, and they are the sinners who should be burned at the stake! "

Lansing's words immediately aroused a large crowd of approval.
