Even if it is compensated by the increased population and wealth after the loss, where will the lost vitality be made up for?

Just like the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, under the smoke and dust of the 72th Road against the King and the [-]nd Road, how many casualties were there?How much wealth evaporated invisible?

So much so that the Tang Dynasty failed to restore the grand occasion before the end of the Sui Dynasty after several generations of emperors.

Not to mention Daming today.

As long as the first industrial revolution starts now, chaos in the world is basically a certainty.

At that time, Emperor Chongzhen will have no other way to go except to kill the population artificially.

As for outward expansion, do you have that capital now?

The discovery of Xinming Island is already a fluke, and we can't pin everything on God's favor.

People always have to rely on themselves.

As for the countless time-traveler training materials that Emperor Chongzhen had read before time-traveling, he felt quite excited when he read it, but after time-traveling, he realized that it was not the case at all.

Especially after he became the emperor, he had to consider the stability of the entire Ming Dynasty, not how to quickly flatten the world from scratch.

When killing people, especially corrupt officials, Emperor Chongzhen had no psychological pressure at all, but if he wanted to cause chaos because of his own reasons, unless he was really heartless, the pressure in his heart was really unbearable for ordinary people.

Especially when this so-called first industrial revolution can be unfolded in a gentle way through human control, if it is played so fiercely, it will be water in the head.

And there is enough water to raise fish.

Secretly admiring those bigwigs who were able to play with oil after returning to the Three Kingdoms, Emperor Chongzhen hated himself for being ignorant, while leaving for the palace.

The eldest son of the emperor was not born for a long time, and it was the time when he needed his company, so he had to pay attention to this.

Who else can give his children a sense of security better than himself as a father?

Now Emperor Chongzhen, who has both sons and daughters, feels that these days are very good. Let's put aside the first industrial revolution or something.

Also left behind by Emperor Chongzhen was a group of people from Xinming Island.

Zhu Yujian, Zhu Zhuohong, and Zhu Cunji were sitting cross-legged on the kang drinking wine.

Hearing the whistling wind outside the window, and the sound of snow particles hitting the window, Zhu Zhuohong sighed, "Look, this is the life a feudal king should live."

Zhu Cunji has been hanging out with Zhu Yujian and Zhu Zhuohong for almost a year now, and he has long since lost his reserved and polite appearance. Instead, he sneered and said, "Well, for a feudal king who is like a landlord and Lao Cai, the entire Ming Dynasty may be There are three of us!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yujian took a sip of the hot wine happily and then said, "Among the vassal princes in the Ming Dynasty, there is really a prince, just like the nine great kings who were entrusted by Emperor Taizu Gao when he established the country. That's the three of us!"

Zhu Yujian's words made Zhu Zhuohong and Zhu Cunji laugh wildly, and the three of them drank together again.

After a while, Zhu Yujian said, "I think, since there is a lot of coal on Xinming Island, there should be no shortage of iron. We still have to find a way to get it back to Daming."

Zhu Zhuohong said: "Let's see when the time comes. Anyway, as long as there is any, I have to get it in Daming. I still want to wait until I die and then bury it in Daming."

Zhu Cunji snorted and said, "What are you talking about, crow's mouth!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Cunji sighed again: "Speaking of which, what are you going to do after you die and be buried in Daming? Let's bury it in Xinming Island. Just like my brother Wang, I chose to throw the ashes wine into the sea. At that time, I will also be buried here on Xinming Island, and I will just guard this piece of land for Daming."

Zhu Zhuohong also sighed: "But Daming is the root!"

Zhu Zhuohong's words immediately caused Zhu Yujian and Zhu Cunji's eyes to turn red.

It's not from drinking, but slightly red with tears.

Zhu Zhuohong is right, no matter where he goes, only Daming is the real root.

And the people of Ming Dynasty, whether they are emperors or ordinary people, cannot forget their roots.

Zhu Yujian shouted: "Cheer up, what do you look like! Your Majesty has said before that we go to sea to start a business, to expand the territory of Ming Dynasty, and to benefit future generations. What's the point of crying now? thing?"

Zhu Zhuohong pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Wang, your eyes are red too, and you said you two."

Zhu Yujian was furious, and after a while he said: "Leave aside this matter, let's talk about the charcoal right now.

When spring comes, we have to prepare to dig coal manually, right? "

Zhu Zhuohong said: "Can't the three of us start digging?"

Zhu Yujian said angrily: "What happened to you today? Did you take the wrong medicine?"

Zhu Zhuohong said with a sneer: "No, Uncle Wang calm down, my nephew is just joking, just kidding, old man, don't take it seriously."

Zhu Cunji also smoothed things over and said: "Don't worry about Uncle Wang, I guess this guy is unhappy, he took the opportunity to make trouble."

Zhu Yujian snorted and said, "I don't care if you're unhappy or not, but I'm talking about business now, put away your hippie smiling face for me."

Zhu Zhuohong said with a sneer, "Yes, it's my nephew who made a mistake."

Zhu Yujian then continued: "The most important thing now is that we still don't have enough manpower."

Zhu Cunji said: "We now have more than [-] people on Xinming Island, why isn't that enough?"

Zhu Yujian said: "Of the 10 people, more than 8 are soldiers, and more than 2 are craftsmen. If we expect these people to go to mines, who will pacify Dadao for us?

After all, winter doesn't have much time left, and it's almost over, so it's time to get ready to deal with those savages. "

Zhu Zhuohong interjected: "Uncle Wang is thinking about it, but there is another question, has Uncle Wang thought about it?"

Zhu Yujian was taken aback and asked, "What's the problem?"

Zhu Zhuohong said: "It's still a question of people, it's true that these [-] soldiers are there to pacify the barbarians, but after the pacification, there will not be many people needed to guard this big island, right?

They are all the people of our Ming Dynasty. The navy is mainly used here. The demand for the guards is actually not great.

After all, this place is not like Daming. There is Mongolia in the north and Jiannu in the east, and there are enemies everywhere.Apart from the people of Daming, who else is there on this island?Can't it be cleaned up sooner or later? "

Zhu Yujian looked at Zhu Zhuohong like two idiots, and said with a smile: "What about the human heart? Have you considered the human heart?

Now we are struggling to make a career, and there are barbarians on the island, so the people of Daming must stick together, but what will happen once the barbarians are gone?

Even Daming has rebels, let alone this island?

Insufficient people are prone to disaster. "

Zhu Zhuohong sipped his teeth and said: "It's true, these [-] soldiers really can't move easily.

But in this way, where can we get so many people to mine?Otherwise, shall we still ask His Majesty to ask for it? "

Before Zhu Yujian could speak, Zhu Cunji said, "There are hundreds of thousands of people on this island, it doesn't matter, if there are several million, if you are His Majesty, can you rest assured?"
