Chapter 82: The Mouth of Man

The seventh year of China has arrived.

Yun Zhao finished reading the report sent by the last county, slowly closed the paperwork, and stood in front of the window looking at the gray sky and was silent.

The news in the report is good, at least the food problem has been completely solved.

However, each report is followed by a comment from the Ministry of Supervision.

There are many issues discussed in the comments, and after being summarized by the secretary Li Guocheng one by one, there are tens of thousands.

After Yun Zhao's approval, it was sent to Zhang Guozhu, and the Prime Minister's Office implemented the rectification.

Through this large-scale investigation, Yun Zhao found that Da Ming has basically solved the problem of eating, and the problems are some small problems in the corners and corners.

During the war, people fled from the rich areas of the plains and went to live in the deep mountains and old forests, and now, the world is stable, and the people should leave the inconvenient mountains and old forests and return to live on the plains.

As the population of the Ming Dynasty continued to increase, the land on the plains gradually became insufficient, and the local governments began to move the landless people to the sparsely populated plains in an organized manner.

It's just that this time the government no longer drove the people to the relocation site like sheep, and then gave some seeds, farm tools or anything else, but set up a planned resettlement point, and after the people moved to the place, the residence, land, roads, water sources, and water conservancy projects must be in place.

It is important to ensure that these places will be connected to trains in the future.

It is necessary to ensure that after the people arrive at the relocation site in winter, they can start production and life in the spring.

Yun Zhao asked that each settlement be designed according to the needs of urban life, and in his opinion, these settlements would sooner or later evolve into cities.

Spending more effort now is very beneficial to promote the process of urbanization.

After passing through such harsh screening conditions, Yun Zhao found that there were not many suitable places.

Heaven is actually not that fair to China, plains, basins are actually not much, and the population of these places has become a little crowded, the reason why there are so many huge projects that are praised by the world in later generations is actually a last resort under extreme helplessness.

If you can build a road on flat land, a fool will go to drill a mountain, open a road, and build a bridge hundreds of meters high.

If possible, Yun Zhao would rather not have those so-called miracles of the century in the land of the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that most of the scattered and relatively flat lands marked on the map were in the northwest and northeast, Yun Zhao sighed and set his eyes on the Nanyang area, which was a good life.

There are large tracts of fertile land, there are endless wild fruits here, the crops here do not need to be managed, the yield per mu is twice as high as that of the northwest, and only one pair of pants is needed here to survive the four seasons in a year.

You only need to guard a strait here to make a lot of money, here......

"It's time to develop the Great Northeast."

Yun Zhao muttered to himself.

Secretary Yang Zhao said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Northeast is bitterly cold, and the people are probably reluctant to go." ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "In the northeast, one person can have more than thirty acres of fertile land, do you think they are willing to go?" ”

Yang Zhao said: "Nanyang is more suitable for people's lives. ”

Yun Zhao spread his hands and said, "What about management?" ”

Yang Zhao seemed to have thought about this problem, raised his head and said, "As long as the people are doing well, it will be done." ”

Yun Zhao glanced at Yang Zhao and said with a smile: "Do you mean that the Ming Dynasty can be divided into countless countries in the future?" ”

Yang Zhao lowered his head and said, "It's just not good for Your Majesty." ”

Yun Zhao leaned back on the chair and looked at Yang Zhao and said, "How did this idea come about?" ”

Yang Zhao said: "People-oriented. ”

"So, do you like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Three Kingdoms Era, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, or do you think that the Ming Dynasty doesn't need to be unified at all, I just need to manage Guanzhong and Shuzhong, ignore other places, and let those people fight separately?"

Yang Zhao's face turned red, and he shook his head again and again: "I didn't mean that." ”

Yun Zhao crossed his hands, put them on the table and said, "Tell me what you think." ”

Yang Zhao organized the language and said: "Autonomy is enough, and this is a general trend. ”

Yun Zhao said: "In the past, Zhou Tianzi divided the countries, and what he implemented was the co-lord policy. ”

Yang Zhao said: "Your Majesty, Zhou Tianzi is eight hundred years old!" ”

Yun Zhao laughed silently, pointed at Yang Zhao and said, "Are there as many people as I did in Guanzhong?" ”

Yang Zhao shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Do you know that my Yun Clan has existed in the world for thousands of years?"

"Yes."

"So, did you think of anything from the Yun Clan?"

Yang Zhao's face was pale and said, "Because it's small." ”

Yun Zhao waved his hand and said: "Go, you are not suitable for politics, nor for teaching, you are only suitable for being a transactional official, for example, going to Honglu Temple is a good choice." ”

Yang Zhao slowly lowered his head, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and then exited Yun Zhao's study.

Li Guocheng held a stack of documents and put them on Yun Zhao's table, looked at Yang Zhao, who was leaving, and said to Yun Zhao: "The leader from Yushan University Hall. ”

Yun Zhao glanced at Li Guocheng and said, "You have no mercy. ”

Li Guocheng said: "Your Majesty didn't give me the power to open up the personnel, so I could only let him touch the nails himself, but this Yang Zhao is still a very thoughtful person."

When he considered the well-being of the people in the world, he also took into account the interests of His Majesty, such as the sentence of the 800th year of Zhou Tianzi.

He actually didn't make it clear, he hoped that His Majesty could control the world, control the army of the whole world, and control the right to speak, but he didn't interfere with the autonomy of every place, he felt that the Ming Dynasty was too big, and if it was controlled by the central government everywhere, it would cause a certain amount of political waste and administrative inefficiency.

Qian Tong traveled two and a half months from Hangzhou to reach Ili, and Zhao Hui traveled from Yanjing to Malacca four months later, both of whom were in a hurry at an expedited pace of 800 miles.

This shows the breadth of my Ming territory.

The only thing that can be compared with my Ming Dynasty is Meng Yuan, how powerful Meng Yuan was in the past, and it did not contribute to a unified country, this is what Yang Zhao wanted to say, but he didn't finish it, and was blocked by His Majesty's might. ”

Yun Zhao looked at Li Guocheng with a smile and said, "What do you think?" ”

Li Guocheng said simply: "It's pure fart, the great unification is the basis for the Han people to live until now, and the great unification can gradually evolve my Ming Dynasty into a civilization that can independently believe and live, rather than a country, that is, because we have been continuously staged for thousands of years, we can correct our mistakes again and again, and let the Han people stay new for a long time."

The only bad thing is that there is no development, and there is always new bottles of old wine, which is too much waste on the wealth of the world. ”

Yun Zhao nodded with a smile and said, "That's very good, if you have an idea with Yang Zhao, I may send you to dig a latrine for a lifetime!" ”

"Why didn't you get Yang Zhao to dig a latrine, but sent it to Honglu Temple? Could it be that the thatched toilet that His Majesty thinks is Honglu Temple? ”

"Don't bury Zhu Cunji, people are already doing their best to be a good Honglu, the reason why they punish you heavily, and let Yang Zhao go lightly, is that I allow Yang Zhao to make mistakes and allow him to think cranky, but you can't!

Now go to the Prime Minister's Mansion that Zhang Guozhu has drawn up a plan to break into the eastern part of the country, this time I will sit in Yanjing and see the great development of Liaodong with my own eyes. ”

"Who is going to do this?"

"Xu Wuxiang, Xu Mazi."

Li Guocheng secretly looked at the emperor's face and found that he didn't seem to be angry, so there was no need to help Xu Wuxiang say good things, and he could be named by the emperor to do important work, which was the glory of Xu Wuxiang, although he would definitely suffer a lot, but it was still very good for Xu Wuxiang.

The emperor came to Yanjing, and Yanjing immediately restored its former imperial city atmosphere.

Not to mention anything else, it's just those hawkers who are hawkers, and they always have a little more pride when they face outsiders at this time, after all, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the words Huangchenggen are too important to them.

When the emperor came, he brought not only a lot of people, but also a lot of money, and one of the most important things was that the railway from Zhengxian to Yanjing had begun to explore the route.

I heard that after taking the train, it only takes one day and one night to arrive from Luoyang to Yanjing, and it only takes two days to get from Chang'an to Yanjing, which is faster than 800 miles of expedited.

I also heard that when the railway was being built, what telegraph had to be built at the same time, and it didn't take a bag of cigarettes to spread what was said in Yanjing to Chang'an.

Yanjing will be the second imperial capital to have a railway.

For railways, telegraphs, Yanjing people are unfamiliar, plus no one gives them a certain amount of popular science, so Yun Zhao has become an immortal emperor who can drive the dragon to help him consign millions of catties of goods.

It is the same name as Dayu, who drove Ying Long to carry the soil to control the flood.

has become an immortal emperor who can drive clairvoyance and help him deliver news, and is as famous as the Yellow Emperor who fought Chiyou.

In short, in the matter of touting the emperor, the Yanjing people did a very good job.

The government also likes the people to think so, although they know that it is fake, and they do not refute the rumors, but they just think that this is very uplifting, so that the government can increase the sense of identity when promoting the railway and the train in the future.

Yun Zhao had indeed begun to plan a direct railway from Chang'an to Yanjing, and at first thought that the cost would be very large, but after being claimed by the local government, Yun Zhao found that it could be successfully built without the state funds in Zhang Guozhu's hands.

Nowadays, the local government is very enthusiastic about the construction of railways, and not only they are very enthusiastic, but even the wealthy people in various places seem to have a great interest in building railways.

It is only in the construction of the railway that some private capital has been accommodated in Guanzhong, and since the railway left Guanzhong, private capital has never been allowed to enter the railway.
