Chapter 37 The First Five-Year Plan is due

After the adjutant general He Cheng finished conveying the general's military order, the look on his face was a little ugly, and he was a little dissatisfied with the general's order to allow the navy to dock.

According to the military law of the Ming Dynasty, after the navy landed, the army was responsible for their food, lodging and supplies.

Now, a group of them are still living in grass huts, so there is extra space for these pirates.

Jin Hu didn't explain, just looked at the ship with a deep draft and sighed.

The giant boat anchored in the offshore sea, and soon a lot of sampans were lowered from the boat, and the sampans were full of people, and the people on them rowed their oars vigorously, and after a while, they came to the shore.

The first to jump down from the sampan was a captain, who first saw the rank of colonel on He Cheng's shoulder, and then his eyes fell on Jin Hu in civilian clothes.

He hurriedly sorted out his military appearance, quickly ran to Jin Hu and knelt down on one knee and said: "Liu Ting, captain of the Haifeng, captain of the Haifeng of the Second Fleet of the Second Fleet of the Ming Navy, has seen the general. ”

Jin Hu glanced at Liu Ting and said, "What's on the ship?" ”

Liu Ting said loudly: "Laborers! ”

Jin Hu said coldly: "A certain family remembers that the Ming army is not allowed to participate in the slave trade, Captain Liu, are you breaking the law knowing the law?" ”

Liu Ting hurriedly said: "The general doesn't know, these people are not slaves, they are laborers, they are despicable to the fate of the Ryukyus to mine saltpeter, the ship has a shortage of edible water, and food, seeing the general appear in Liaodong, I want to ask the general for some drinking water and food, lest these laborers die at sea." ”

Jin Hu frowned and said, "When transporting laborers, you never counted drinking water and grain?" ”

Liu Ting smiled bitterly: "As long as the North Koreans see that the Ming ship is recruiting laborers, they will squeeze the ship ...... desperately."

Jin Hu's pupils contracted, and he said in a low voice, "The situation on North Korea Island is not good?" ”

Liu Ting nodded and said, "Hell on earth......"

He Cheng asked puzzledly: "Didn't you say that there are not many people on the North Korean side?" ”

Liu Ting saluted He Cheng again and said: "Jiannu took everything that could be taken, and the widows who refused to leave took most of the strong laborers among them, and most of the rest were old and weak women and children that no one wanted.

That past winter......"

When Liu Ting said this, he stopped talking.

"Why didn't you say it?" Jin Hu asked.

Liu Ting pointed to his warship and said, "The inspector on board issued a gag order. ”

He Chengdao: "Since there are only old and weak women and children left, you still take them to Ryukyu to dig saltpeter?" ”

Liu Ting said with a smile: "The main thing is that they want to live, there is a lot of grain in Ryukyu, there are many wild fruits, and there are fish ...... in the sea."

This was just a simple contact, Jin Hu provided Liu Ting with two hundred bags of food, three hundred catties of jerky, and gave him a bag of spirits when Liu Ting was leaving, which made Liu Ting overjoyed.

He didn't want to stay on land longer, so he used the sampan to transport it back after getting the things, but when the sampan came, he brought two good-looking Korean women to Jinhu.

Jin Hu did not refuse, but He Cheng frowned again.

"After this catastrophe, North Korea is basically finished."

This is a sentence left by Liu Ting when he left.

Jin Hu was deeply touched by this sentence, when he was in the southwest, such scenes were very common, and many of them were concocted by his own hands.

Since the rise of the Ming Dynasty, his own powerful destructive power has made the surrounding countries that are not yet socially sound fall apart in an instant, if the Ming Dynasty is just to complete a new social transformation on his own land.

It's a pity that Yun Zhao's gaze has never only fallen on the country, and his gaze is always fixed on the globe in his big study.

He was very dissatisfied with the social status quo in the whole of Asia, the Ming Dynasty had already stood at the pinnacle of civilization, but there were still many ethnic groups around him who were basically in primitive societies.

The cost of transforming these ethnic groups is too great, and there may not be a good result, so he adopts a laissez-faire attitude, and everything is prioritized by the needs of the Ming Dynasty.

From this point, Jin Hu believes that Yun Zhao is a tyrant comparable to Genghis Khan.

Daming is now rapidly moving towards prosperity.

He recovered faster than any new dynasty, and in just five years, the people of the Ming Dynasty not only produced food that was self-sufficient, but even surplus.

During these five years, the Lantian Dynasty, like other nascent dynasties, adopted a light attitude towards the common people.

However, the income of the Lantian Dynasty was not lost at all.

The reason for this is that many people of insight in Daming are well aware of it, and Yun Zhao only passed on the domestic losses to the surrounding countries.

The Ming Dynasty is too big, the population is too much, when 160 million people want to cut taxes, and the income of the dynasty cannot be reduced, then the situation faced by the surrounding countries will be in a ruined mode.

So far, Jin Hu has not seen Yun Zhao have the slightest intention of letting go of the surrounding ethnic groups.

In the southwest, there are already too many, too many people involved in the rebellion against the tyranny of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that these resistance forces are too weak, and in the face of the powerful Ming army, their bravery and resistance are very insignificant.

Now, the people's livelihood in the Ming Dynasty has entered the norm, and the people in the Ming Dynasty have resumed their production and homeland, so at this time, should the emperor consider relaxing the oppression of foreign races?

Otherwise, if the exploitation continues in the long run, there will be serious consequences.

Uszang is finished, Mongolia is finished, Jiannu is finished, North Korea is finished, Annam is finished, and the Western Regions is estimated to be finished soon after Xia Wanchun, a young man with a heart like stone, goes.

Jin Hu believed that the powerful army of the Ming Dynasty would be able to finish off any of his neighbors or enemies, but the consequences of doing so would be troublesome, and once the Ming forces in these places were weakened, the revolt would appear like a fire.

When all of them joined forces, Jin Hu didn't think it was a good thing for the Lantian Empire.

The disparity in force has never been a reason for the defeat of the rebels, back then, the soldiers of Daze Township only had wooden sticks and forks in their hands, and they ended the Huanghuang Daqin as well.

Jin Hu thought about it for a long time on the beach, and finally picked up his pen to advise the emperor, hoping that the emperor could reduce the oppression of the surrounding ethnic groups and shine the benevolence of the Ming Emperor on everyone.

Yun Zhao was very satisfied with the outlook for China's five-year financial report submitted by Ambassador Kuzang.

It's just that Zhang Guozhu, who is also the chief farmer, submitted an investigation report on the rural production process, which made Yun Zhao very dissatisfied.

In his view, the rural situation in Daming is still not good, the situation of slash-and-burn cultivation still exists, the situation of low productivity is still widespread, and the contradiction between land output and human input is also widespread.

What displeased Yun Zhao the most was that the willingness of the Daming farmers to change their living conditions was not as strong as he imagined.

They are reluctant to leave their overcrowded hometowns, preferring to cultivate a small portion of their farmland and barely make ends meet.

If everyone refuses to leave their homeland, then what is the use of the army taking so much land?

"Increase the degree of support for the people who voluntarily go to the reclamation area, and increase the publicity of the brightest stars among the people in the reclamation area, I hope that the people of Daming can understand that staying in their hometown, they can only suffer poverty for a lifetime, and if they leave their hometown, they will be able to obtain a rich life in a short time.

In addition, officials and businessmen are allowed to acquire more than 1,000 mu of land in the reclamation areas, to dispose of the grain produced in the reclamation areas themselves, and to allow them to freely grow cash crops on the land in the reclamation areas. ”

After Zhang Guozhu got the document issued by Yun Zhao, he quickly came to the big study without stopping for a moment, holding the document and saying to Yun Zhao: "Your Majesty, are you trying to trouble my Daming?" ”

Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Guozhu and said, "Is there any problem?" ”

Zhang Guozhu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "The restriction of 1,000 acres of land cannot be relaxed, if it is released, the Ming merchants will invest all the money in their hands into the farmland, which is a good thing that they have coveted for a long time."

Once all the money falls on the farmland, then, the commerce and industry that have just flourished in my Ming Dynasty will be greatly affected, and I think that in the state that I have been able to achieve self-sufficiency in grain, we should give priority to the development of commerce and industry.

As far as the current world situation is concerned, commerce and industry are the main driving forces for social development. ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "Before the great wealth of food appears, the development of commerce and industry will have no motivation to continue to move forward, after all, many things can only be enjoyed when people have abundant food and clothing.

Nowadays, we have too much empty land, the people live too concentrated, now we can't see too many people, the city can not bear the ills, and when the Ming Dynasty has a population of more than one million cities, you will find that commerce, industry will naturally flourish.

However, there must be a premise for this, and that is that agricultural products are already extremely rich. ”

Zhang Guozhu shook his head resolutely and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen advocates convening a congress, we have to discuss this issue well, I am very worried that once this policy is introduced, it will change the current stable situation of my Ming Dynasty." ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said: "Permission to convene, it just so happens that our last five-year plan has reached a final stage, and it is very necessary for us to examine the next five-year plan, whether we still have to follow the old trajectory and continue." ”

Zhang Guozhu said: "What Your Majesty said is that we have been working hard for five years, and it is indeed time to take a correct look at the results of the past five years. Your Majesty, is the time limit for the convening of the National People's Congress still set for October? ”

Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Guozhu and smiled: "You should have been waiting for this day for a long time, right?" ”

Zhang Guozhu nodded solemnly and said: "This is what makes my Lantian Dynasty unique, I hope that the delegates this time will not be as stupid as the group of deputies five years ago." ”
