Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was no longer able to send additional troops outside the Gyeonggi region, or he would increase taxes!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is still not angry, after more than a year of rebirth experience, he has become more and more adapted to the role of the emperor, and is no longer as impatient and impulsive as when he first returned to the Ming Dynasty!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has already made up his mind that no matter what the situation is, he will not raise taxes in his life, because additional taxes are actually chronic suicide, and they will not play any role! What good is it to cut one's thighs for the sake of a little meat? He only felt that his heart was very depressed, and his heart hurt! But it didn't show it.

"I know, is there anything else to discuss? If not, disperse. Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said lightly.

Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Taiwan officials are surveying, Ben Guo abides by the law, and when he tastes food or not, it is no wonder that he is losing today, and it is advisable to repair it in time and refer to the Western law." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen became interested, "Didn't I already tell you to switch to the Western calendar?" Just copy it directly from my computer. ”

Xu Guangqi nodded, "That's what the old minister wants to say, the old minister has read the calendar in His Majesty's computer, and wants to find a foreign missionary to help compile it." This man's name is Long Huamin, and he is from England. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "Zhun Song, if there is nothing to do, it will all be dispersed, Xu Aiqing will stay for a while, I still want to ask you about those seeds, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and wheat, have they all been harvested?" ”

The courtiers dispersed, and Xu Guangqi stayed, "Your Majesty." It is for this reason that the minister came to Beijing. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly. "Leave the boss in Tianjin. I'm thinking about it too much, seeing you like this, I must have gained something. ”

Xu Guangqi smiled slightly, "There is a harvest, Weichen taught people to plant according to the planting method given by the emperor, and they have all harvested, and the harvest is five times more than now." And the sweet potatoes and potatoes are extremely easy to ripen, and if they are planted in a large area in the north, not only can the arable land increase by four to five times! The harvest will increase at least tenfold! It's just that the Ming Dynasty is now suffering from disasters and famines, and it can't be promoted outside the Gyeonggi area. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, these two are indeed difficult points, and he doesn't understand why, since he took office, it has been either a drought or a flood, or an earthquake, and this life has not been good!

"Edict foreigners, Long Huamin and others to edit the new calendar. Xu Guangqi is the overseer. Since then, the Western calendar has been in effect. As for those crops, they are now being promoted in the Gyeonggi region. As long as I can ensure that there will be no more food shortages in the Gyeonggi area, I am also very satisfied! Life can always get better slowly. Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen smiled faintly.

Xu Guangqi saw that the emperor's expression was a little haggard, only a nineteen-year-old man, but he had a haggard that did not match his age, which made Xu Guangqi's heart very uncomfortable, but he just nodded and agreed.

Since Sun Chengzong and Sun Shenxing have been imprisoned for a while, in fact, now Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen can talk the most, that is, this Xu Guangqi boss, the two of them roughly talked about the construction of Tianjin City, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen still secretly made up his mind, he had to go to modern times quickly, get some equipment back, and learn some technology back!

If it weren't for those powders, who had always had an advantage in trade with Japan, Mangui would have been unable to maintain his base behind enemy lines in Korea for a long time! But that powder, after all, is not a long-term strategy, not to mention that the thing will always run out, and Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is not a person who admires that thing, for some countries that have plundered China in history, he is ruthless, but making a fortune with this kind of thing is not the character of Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen is a bright and upright person!

Until the period before the birth of the crown prince Zhu Cihong, the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen had always taken Long Huamin with him to study English, and when he returned to the United States, he wanted to speak fluent English.

Just when Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was at his most difficult, there was bad news on the sea!

"Your Majesty, Jinyi Wei secret agent Kuai Malay reported that Dongying died because of the overdose of Fushou ointment taken by the royal family, and the maritime trade with the Ming Dynasty has been cut off, and a Ming ship is not allowed to approach Dongying! The Dutch occupied Xiamen Island! Three thousand troops, thirty warships! Wang Chengen urgently reported to the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was furious, but there was a sadness in his heart, he had worked hard for so long, and in the end it was still such a situation, surrounded by enemies on all sides, embattled on all sides, and there was no sign of improvement in the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty! Without the advantage of trade with Japan, North Korea basically has no room for development, the tens of thousands of people in Mangui, and finally able to train 10,000 troops are already lucky, the Ming court has no way to help, I only hope that Mangui can open up the situation in North Korea by his own ability!

And if the Dutch and Xu Xinsu's pirate group strangles the coast of Fujian and Guangdong, Zheng Zhilong's expansion in the Ryukyus and the road to Southeast Asia will also be frozen! After all, Zheng Zhilong is not his own imperial power, and the money Zheng Zhilong gets will not belong to the internal government, Zheng Zhilong can only add icing on the cake at all, and cannot help him solve his urgent needs.

Wang Chengen saw the emperor's stiff expression, didn't know what to say, and waited in horror for the emperor to speak.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen waved his hand painfully, and only said, "I know, are the queen and the prince all right?" ”

Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, it's all good, and the mother and son are safe." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "I will go and see them, Wang Chengen, you remember, as long as I do not die, as long as the Ming Dynasty insists on continuing to reform according to my methods, as long as the Gyeonggi region of the Ming Dynasty is firmly controlled in our hands, we still have time to play with the anti-people and with the Jiannu!" ”

Wang Chengen didn't know how to answer, nodded thoughtlessly and agreed, thinking that Jiannu would definitely make a comeback next year, and at that time, people suffered a loss this time, and they no longer stormed Beijing City, just looting, what should the old slave do if you look at you?

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen of course knew what Wang Chengen thought, but he didn't discuss this issue with Wang Chengen, but went to see his Empress Zhou and his son, and he hadn't seen them yet.

The reform of the imperial power of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was not to overthrow feudalism, but to enhance the strength of the royal family on the basis of feudal society! Attempt on feudal capitalism! (To be continued......)
