I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

On December 29, the Tong family.

Tong Youwei is reading the last issue of Dahua Daily in the second year of Yongxing.

Front page headlines.

[A summary of the achievements of Yongxing in the past two years. 】

In the second year of Yongxing, under the leadership of the wise son of God, the emperor, our dynasty has achieved earth-shaking changes.

Among them, the output of steel reached 50,000 tons, a five-fold increase over last year and a fifty-fold increase over the Ming Dynasty.

The output of grain reached 16 million tons, an increase of 30% over last year and twice that of the Ming Dynasty, basically solving the problem of food and clothing throughout the country, and the number of new births increased by about 30%.

Tax revenue reached 130 million yuan, an increase of 60% over last year and a tenfold increase over the Ming Dynasty.

......

These data are not very accurate.

With the current statistical ability, it takes a lot of time, money and manpower to make accurate statistics.

Therefore, Dahua did not go to accurate statistics, and many values ​​were calculated theoretically.

Quoting directly in the newspaper is not a big problem.

Anyway, even the court can't accurately know the data, how can ordinary people know it, and naturally there is no confidence to question it.

Moreover, the focus of this report is not to let ordinary people know the specific values, as long as it is enough to convey the information that Dahua is getting better and better to the people.

Even the comparison with the Ming Dynasty is the core content of this report.

By comparing with Daming, other people can clearly feel the goodness of Dahua.

Tong Youwei looked at this article and nodded. The better Dahua's situation is, the better it will be for their family. After all, he is deeply attached to Wu Changqing.

Second article.

In August of the second year of Yongxing's reign, the wise emperor Shenwu gave an important instruction, instructing the Taiyuan Hospital to prevent smallpox by inoculating cowpox.

After four months of research and experiments by the envoy Lu, it has been proved that the law of the Son of Heaven is effective.

Vaccinia vaccines have zero mortality and a 98 percent success rate in gaining immunity.

The Son of Heaven instructed that the hardest-hit areas in the country will be given priority for comprehensive vaccination in the spring of next year, and other areas will gradually be fully vaccinated, and strive to completely eliminate smallpox within three years.

From then on, people no longer have to be tortured by smallpox.

This kind of achievement is really the first person in eternity, long live my emperor, long live, long live...  

"Hey... Such a major event has been quietly completed. The elimination of smallpox is comparable to Shennong's taste of all kinds of herbs."

Tong Youwei said uncontrollably.

It's amazing, the smallpox that everyone hears about is going to be wiped out, it's unbelievable.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Tong Xiangyu asked.

"Your Majesty has discovered a way to prevent and treat smallpox. In the future, the people of Limin will be able to save a life, and you will no longer have to worry about getting smallpox and leaving pockmarks on your face."

Tong Youwei said.

"Daddy is talking nonsense, so I won't keep pockmarks."

Tong Xiangyu said.

"This is not necessarily true. Look at your second uncle. It was because he was infected with smallpox when he was a child that he had so many pockmarks on his face. Fortunately, he escaped and survived.

More are not survived, are already dead. You haven't been infected with smallpox yet, and you might in the future. So, after the vaccination starts next year, you should also vaccinate to prevent accidents. "

Tong Youwei said.

"Inoculation, what is inoculation?"

After Tong Youwei explained the vaccination, she refused even more, she refused to agree to anything, and it made her sick.

Tong Youwei didn't care either and continued to read the newspaper. After all, girls don’t go out often, so the chance of getting sick is very low.

third article.

Yesterday, the Son of Heaven made important instructions.

The Holy Son of Heaven talked about the dangers of women's foot binding, and ordered all the female relatives of officials to be prohibited from binding their feet. Violators were suspended and fined for reflection.

In addition, the Son of Heaven has asked the whole country to ban foot binding from next year, and offenders will be fined 100 yuan.

......

There have been many articles published in Dahua Daily before that footbinding is harmful to people.

However, at that time, it was only recommended not to bind feet, and there was no mandatory prohibition.

That kind of article, some people believe it, and many people don't.

And believers, for many reasons, did not give up the binding of feet.

Just like some people know that plastic surgery is not good for the body, but some people spend a lot of money to suffer and suffer.

Some women today also have to bind their feet in order to cater to the preferences of some powerful men.

Therefore, the government's initiative has little effect.

This time, Wu Changqing made up his mind to ban the binding of feet.

Of course, his ban was actually very mild, and he didn't kill him with a single stick.

It is stipulated in the ban that officials who violate the regulations will only be suspended for reflection, and will not be completely disgraced.

Ordinary people who violate the rules only need to be fined 100 yuan.

This is a de-escalation zone for some persistent rich people.

They can spend a little money to continue their beliefs, hobbies.

If there is no such regulation, everyone must be forced to release their little feet, and I am afraid it will cause a strong backlash.

Such concepts and customs accumulated over the years cannot be changed so easily.

special

Not to mention, some rich people have this habit. If there is demand, there will be trading, and it is impossible to completely prohibit it.

Now that fines are stipulated, it shows the determination of the court to put its feet on the ground, and there is another reason for the fine, and it can also increase some income.

"Father, I have to put my feet down too."

Tong Xiangyu said.

She couldn't tell whether it was better to bind her feet or put her feet on, but the Son of Heaven said it was better to put her feet on, so she, a little fan girl, naturally chose to believe it.

"Just let it go. Your Majesty's words can never be wrong. However, in this way, the bitterness you suffered when you were young will be for nothing."

Tong Youwei said with a smile, as a solid supporter of Wu Changqing, he unconditionally supports Wu Changqing's policies.

"Father, aren't you very appreciated by Your Majesty? Why don't you find a chance and dedicate me to Your Majesty."

Tong Xiangyu said.

As soon as these words came out, Tong Youwei's face suddenly darkened.

"Can you be a little more dignified and reserved, just like you are crazy, and the next day you are sent to the palace, the palace will have to send your body back."

Tong Youwei was very tired and felt that his daughter was spoiled.

"Is it because I learned to be reserved, and you promised to send me to the palace?"

Tong Xiangyu asked.

"Life in the palace is not as good as you think."

Tong Youwei gave a sincere reminder.

"I don't care, I just want to enter the palace."

Tong Xiangyu said.

"Wait for a chance, the palace is not something you can enter if you want."

Tong Youwei did not object to his daughter serving the emperor, but he did not support it either.

After all, there are so many women in the emperor, and being an emperor's woman is by no means a happy thing.

His family is neither short of money nor covetous of power, so there is really no need for it.

However, Tong Xiangyu worshipped the emperor too much and wanted to serve the emperor. Tong Wuwei had no choice but to turn a blind eye and treat him with Buddha nature.
