Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "Qizou Your Majesty, I think that this matter should be done sooner rather than later, and should be serious rather than light."

Emperor Chongzhen hummed again and said, "What if there is someone wronged?"

Lu Xiangsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, it is better to be in vain than to let go! Only by destroying all these green skins once can we effectively deter those evil-minded people, and then we can once and for all, and return the people to a bright blue sky!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a while, and then continued: "The same should be true for the officialdom. It has been 25 years since Chongzhen, and the Jingcha will start again next year. Why don't we act together to completely destroy the substitutes there?" Unscrupulous officials with Qingpi acting as their backing."

When Lu Xiangsheng's voice fell, a large number of civil and military officials began to jump out together, expressing their agreement with Lu Xiangsheng's views, which made Emperor Chongzhen feel very confused.

Accomplices, those foolish officials below are also your accomplices anyway, and now you actually put on a look of hating them for immortality?

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand why.

However, since he couldn't figure it out, Emperor Chongzhen didn't bother to think about it, and simply ordered: "The cabinet will come out with a statement, and the second-level reserve guards in various places will be ordered to cooperate. Zhu Cihong's deputy."

After Lu Xiangsheng bowed in response, he continued: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the cabinet has already discussed with the eight ministries about the plan from the 26th year of Chongzhen to the 30th year of Chongzhen."

Hearing that the sixth five-year plan had been released, Emperor Chongzhen immediately became interested: "Tell me, where is the focus?"

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, the focus is still on road construction, including roads for carriages and pedestrians, as well as railways, followed by bridges and dams in various places.

Since the overhaul of roads in various places in the second year of Chongzhen to the present, more than 20 miles of railway construction have been completed in the whole of Ming Dynasty, and more than 70 roads between state capitals have been rebuilt. [-] people, and the relevant expenses have been sorted out.

From the 26th year of Chongzhen to the 30th year of Chongzhen, it is estimated that 15 miles of railway construction will be completed, and the road reconstruction between [-] states will be completed, which is also based on straight roads. "

How much money was spent, Lu Xiangsheng did not say, but Emperor Chongzhen could guess it even if he guessed it.

170 million laborers, based on the cost of five taels of silver for each laborer, the labor alone has reached 850 million taels.

The problem is that these laborers are only the purchase price, and because the laborers waged wars, the cost of clothing and food for the laborers, the various materials spent on road construction, and the wages of the people of Ming Dynasty, these costs are countless times greater than the consumption of the laborers.

If you have no concept of tens of millions of taels or hundreds of millions of taels of silver, think about it. A big fat chicken costs only 26 Wen, rice costs two Wen per catty, and one tael of silver is equal to a thousand Wen. .

If it was replaced by the people of the Ming Dynasty to build, I am afraid that the cost that needs to be paid out will be even more - after the complete abolition of corvee, the local governments will have to pay real wages if they want the people of the Ming Dynasty to work.

It can be said that Emperor Chongzhen's many policies have made his country's throne extremely stable, and the people of the world will support him from the bottom of their hearts, but at the same time they have brought countless troubles to him.

At the very least, Yang Er did not pay wages for repairing the canal...

Fortunately, these roads are basically paved with the bones and silver of foreign races.

After the Ming Dynasty started the arms and drug trade under the leadership of Emperor Chongzhen, a large amount of silver flowed into the Ming treasury from all over the world, and then was used by the treasury to build roads and distribute benefits to the people.

This is the dividend brought about by a strong national power and a large population base, and even now is not the time for the demographic dividend to explode.

A strong national power and a large population base mean that for a country, the fist is hard enough, which means that Emperor Chongzhen can pass all the costs of this change to other countries and nations.

In fact, even Emperor Chongzhen himself didn't know what kind of changes would be brought to Ming Dynasty when he was old in 30 or [-] years and the population of Ming Dynasty ushered in a big explosion.

There is an old saying in the Central Plains, you have to admit your mistakes, and you have to stand at attention when you are beaten. Emperor Chongzhen was glad that there was no Holy Mother in this era, and no one would talk about human rights and cooking oil.

Emperor Chongzhen was even more fortunate that the people of the Ming Empire firmly believed that the Ming Empire itself was a lighthouse, and no one thought that other countries were lighthouses...

After nodding his head with a smile, Emperor Chongzhen said, "And then? If that's all, it's still not enough."

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, in addition to these, from the 26th year of Chongzhen to the 30th year of Chongzhen, there will be 5000 million guanbao banknotes invested in the construction of social studies, and 5000 million guanbao banknotes It will be invested in the construction of state schools and government schools in various places, and [-] million yuan will be invested in the construction of universities.

In addition, from the 26th year of Chongzhen to the 30th year of Chongzhen, it is estimated that [-] million guanbao banknotes will be approved for military expenditure to be used for the salaries and weapons replacement of soldiers in various guards, and [-] million guanbao banknotes are expected to be used for backup plans. "

After all, it was in the court, and Lu Xiangsheng didn't blatantly say that he took [-] million coins to go to war, at least to save some face.

Emperor Chongzhen also nodded secretly, because this ratio is actually almost the same.

Road construction must be a national policy that cannot be shaken for 100 years. When the railways and roads are fully repaired, these two projects will be stopped.

And there are still many places that do not belong to Ming Dynasty, such as a large part of the Mughals, the entire Ottoman Empire and most of Europe.

Railways and roads will definitely be built in these places in the future. How can it not be enough in 80 or [-] years?

As for the ratio of education and military spending, it seems that military spending is much more than education, but in fact this ratio is probably within a reasonable range.

The biggest reason is that Daming's territory is too large and there are too many soldiers, so the expenses that need to be borne increase accordingly.

After more than 20 years of construction, the sociology school is almost done. What really needs a lot of expenses is the state school and the government school, that is, the junior high school and high school.

As for the university, it is not so urgent, after all, the population has not really started to explode.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Chongzhen simply said, "I have one more thing to discuss with you."

Chapter 8, the sixteenth chapter establishes the prince and cracks down

Everyone was very curious about what kind of demon moths Emperor Chongzhen could make now. After all, this lord did not play cards according to common sense.

No wonder the ministers think so.

According to common sense, the emperor began to build his own mausoleum as soon as he ascended the throne. This has been a tradition for thousands of years. Some even hang up before their own mausoleum starts, such as Chongzhen's father...

With the example of his own father in front of him, Tianqi somehow tossed the tomb for himself, and there was a place to bury him after he died, but what about Emperor Chongzhen?

It has been 25 years since he ascended the throne, and he has no intention of starting to make his own mausoleum.

This is actually a pain in the ass.

Everyone, including Emperor Chongzhen, knew in their hearts that although they shouted long live, long live, long live, in fact, no emperor could really live long. Basically, it was over in a few decades. How many unlucky people Years, even a few months or less than a month...

Why did other emperors start to toss about building the mausoleum from the day they ascended the throne?

One is that they all know that they can't live forever, and there will be a day when they die sooner or later. In order to enjoy the treatment of the emperor after they die, they naturally have to prepare a place for themselves in advance.

The other is for scale. The longer an emperor reigns, the larger the scale of the mausoleum, which means greater achievements, even if this so-called achievement is self-deceiving.

The last reason is that it takes decades to repair, so as not to consume too much material resources and people's resources in a short period of time, and it will also reduce the possibility of the government to force the people to rebel to the greatest extent-after all, there is more to be done for future generations. Consider it.

This master is so good, he hasn't brought it up until now, and others want to persuade him but dare not persuade him - how to persuade him?

It’s fine to mention it when the emperor ascends the throne. If the emperor says to repair it, he will follow the trend. If the emperor says not to repair it first, there is no way to persuade him later.

Persuade the emperor to build a mausoleum, hoping that the emperor will not live forever, don't you?His heart can be punished!

In the eyes of the ministers, it is normal for such a master to play cards so unreasonably, and it is strange to play cards according to common sense...

Sure enough, it was fine if Emperor Chongzhen didn't open his mouth. When he opened his mouth, there were four, two, and two kings: "It has been 25 years since I ascended the throne. The oldest emperor's eldest son is 25 years old today, and the youngest has just learned to walk.

A prince is the foundation of a country. Now I intend to establish a prince, so I have to discuss it with all my lovers. "

The ministers above the court are almost in tears!

Wen Tiren's kind of old fritters have been boiled to death. From the time he entered the cabinet to the time he died of exhaustion in office, he did not wait for the day when Emperor Chongzhen appointed the crown prince!Now, I finally waited!
