I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

After a simple salute, the more than 100 ministers were divided into several columns.

These positions also have some rules.

Those with high status naturally stand at the front.

As for the seventh-rank officials in the last positions, they are actually here to listen and gain experience. They have little chance to speak and are not qualified.

Unless the people above are unwilling to speak, they will have a chance to say a few words.

"It's a blessing to let you all get up early in the morning. However, at the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed. If we want to make this year a success, we need to make plans and lay a solid foundation at the beginning of the new year.

Therefore, the main purpose of this meeting is to let everyone speak freely and express their views and opinions on major issues in the current court, society, economy and other aspects. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone quickly said that it was not hard.

At the same time, I started to think about what to say next.

Wu Changqing emphasized three words about big problems, so he must talk about big problems when he speaks. If trivial matters are mentioned, it is inevitable that the emperor will be upset.

And the big question, how can it be so easy to talk about?

If it can be solved easily, it is not a big problem.

If you don't have enough ability, what can you say?

Therefore, everyone is hesitant for the time being.

"Chen Qisuo."

"speak."

Then, a member of the household department from the fifth grade opened the mouth and said.

"The people take food as their heaven. No matter how important the industry is, it is based on the fact that people in the world can eat enough. The food issue has been the most important issue since ancient times. Increase production.

However, the people also increased fertility. After the world is stable, the population will inevitably skyrocket, and food is still a big problem. In order to solve the food problem, the minister believed that the water conservancy should be overhauled to prevent natural disasters.

If there is no natural disaster, everything is under control. Once a natural disaster occurs, it is inevitable to panic. "

Tan Sijin, he is also an imperial party.

However, he did not start talking about land reform, because that would be too obvious.

In officialdom, no matter what you do, you pay attention to a subtlety.

A lot of times, the words are half-spoken, without any reason.

People with no IQ can't understand each other's subtext, and they really can't mix in officialdom.

Wu Changqing wanted land reform, but he could not express it in a hurry.

Therefore, he asked Tan Sijin to talk about water conservancy first.

The issue of water conservancy is basically an issue that runs through the history of the dynasty, and it can be raised at any time.

More importantly, this problem is not easy to solve.

Therefore, a high probability is to say half of it, and then put it on hold for the time being.

At that time, other people can follow the food issue and raise the land issue, which is very logical, without any sudden feeling.

If the water conservancy problem cannot be solved, then let’s solve the land problem that can be solved.

Of course, this method is to deceive ordinary officials, and the real people can definitely be seen at a glance.

Some officials didn't know that Tan Sijin was an imperial party. Seeing that he was the first to speak, and the question he said was indeed a problem, they were immediately dissatisfied and felt that Tan Sijin had taken advantage of it.

However, there is no way to accept it, it has already happened.

And some scheming people, who knew Tan Sijin's identity, began to think about the emperor's intentions.

Is it necessary to discuss the control of floods when the DPRK talks are carried out with great fanfare? This is probably unlikely and unreasonable.

These thoughtful people are still pondering, and naturally they did not express their opinions.

After Tan Sijin raised the question, some courtiers were already expressing their opinions.

Even though Wu Changqing had no plans to solve the flood for the time being, he still listened patiently. People who do big things still have this patience.

"With steel and cement, dam construction will be much easier..."

Everyone debated for half an hour, and at the end of the debate, a core issue was left.

Whether to give priority to the development of industry or to give priority to the development of agriculture, after all, the management of floods and the construction of water conservancy mainly require money.

As long as there is financial allocation, the construction of water conservancy projects has been done in all dynasties and generations in the past, and everyone has experience, so it is not difficult.

What's more, now that there are two killers, steel and cement, building flood control dams is much easier than before.

The key is money money money.

At this point, some discerning people have given up arguing.

At the end of last year, this kind of thing came to a conclusion. In the three years of Yongxing, the main focus is to promote industrialization in an all-round way.

Therefore, there is no way to grab money for industrial development.

The foreplay is over, and now it's time to play.

Li Yao, the head of the Ministry of Household Purification Department of Zheng Liupin, stood up and said.

"The minister thought that the construction of large-scale water conservancy dams would cost a lot of money, and it would not be in line with the development plan of our dynasty for the time being. To solve the food problem, it is not necessarily necessary to build water conservancy, but it can also be solved in terms of land.

During his visit and investigation in Zhejiang, the minister found that with the same fertile level of one mu of paddy field, the grain yield of the self-cultivator is generally higher than that of the large landowner's manor.

After in-depth investigation, the minister found that the original farmer was very careful when managing the paddy fields. And the long-term workers of the big landlords, because the level of grain production has nothing to do with their income, so they often perfunctory.

Place

Yichen imagined that if the land of the landlord was divided with other landless people, it would greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of the people for production. Accumulated across the country, grain output can increase by at least 10%. "

A 10% increase in production is already quite impressive.

Hearing this prediction, many people took a deep breath.

However, what shocked them even more was Li Yao's suggestion.

Dividing the land of the landlord, what a joke.

We are the orthodox central court, not a traitor like Li Zicheng. How can we directly plunder the land of the landlords like Li Zicheng?

Since ancient times, only rebels have shouted the slogan of dividing the land when they rebelled, and it is impossible for the orthodox court to say such things.

Moreover, even if those rebels really succeed and complete the change of dynasty, they will immediately forget their previous slogans.

The reason is also very simple, a rebellion without the support of the big landlord class has never been successful.

Whether the court wins or the traitors win, the supporters behind them are the wealthy class.

No power can succeed without the financial support of the wealthy class.

After all, even if the people who are bound are willing to give their lives, you have to feed them.

And that requires money, and money is in the hands of the rich.

Maybe you can grab it directly.

However, the money grab can only be a one-time, not sustainable. A force has completely offended the class of landlords, gentry, and tyrannical powers, and they can't even find talents for local governance, because most of these intellectuals and scholars also come from this class.

To sum up in one sentence, the regime of the dynasty actually relied on the big landlords, gentry and tyrannical class to support the upper ranks.

Then, the dynasty came to exploit the common people and safeguard the interests of the rich class.

This has been the case since ancient times, and now Li Yao proposes to divide the land of the landlords, which is equivalent to persuading Wu Changqing to create his own rebellion.
