My Life Simulator

Don't forget to dig wells when drinking water.

Jiajing naturally knew who brought all this.

Who pacified the southern Japanese and northern captives? Who conquered the Indochina Peninsula? Who opened up the Nanyang Islands? Who made the high-yield crops? Who set up the Shibo Division?

The Ming Dynasty and the prosperity of Jiajing were mainly attributed to Lu Li.

Lu Li is already a duke, and his title has reached the top. To be rewarded, he can only give him a military rank.

So, Emperor Jiajing made another decree to seal Lu Li the "General of Zuo Zhuguo".

He is still two levels away from the final mission, "General of the Upper Pillar Kingdom".

Lu Li was also a little happy when he received this award, only two levels away. After Zuozhuguo is the Youzhuguo, and then the Shangzhuguo Great General.

Having obtained the title of General Zuo Zhuguo, Lu Licong was already the top martial general of the Ming Dynasty. Only British Duke Zhang Rong, like Lu Li, holds the rank of General Zuo Zhuguo.

As the top martial artist of the Jiajing Dynasty, Lu Li was already qualified to do something about Daming's military affairs.

So, Lu Li gave Emperor Jiajing a memorial for the "reorganization of the guard house".

In this memorial, Lu Li explained the reason. Now in Daming, there is no foreign invasion. These guardsmen, there are millions of troops in the whole country, and they have no value at all.

The replacement plan was changed to a new army stationed in each province, with no more than 10,000 troops. The two capitals and thirteen provinces of the country only need hundreds of thousands of new troops.

Along with the memorial, there are Lu Li's plans and steps for rebuilding the various guards in Nanzhili. Each step is written in great detail and is very specific, and the guards can be reorganized by copying them.

As for the dismissed guard officers, Lu Li also arranged a place for them. How can a place as big as the Nanyang Islands not be guarded by guards?

This memorial is reported to the court, and the officials of the DPRK and China are completely indifferent.

The guards have long been rotten, and they are not expected to fight. And... now there is no battle to fight inside and outside of Daming, so Lu Li is finished.

Using Lu Li's plan to rebuild the guardhouse, in addition to being able to train an elite army, can also build various workshops and increase output. Naturally, there are many benefits.

For the soldiers of the guards across the country, they are also very satisfied, and they even hope to restructure earlier.

The superior life of the guards in Nanzhili has long made the soldiers of the guards in other places jealous.

Even the officers of the guard station who are about to be abolished are satisfied. That place in Nanyang is a good place to make a fortune! I didn't have the chance to go before, I could only be jealous of others to make money, now... it's finally our turn.

This work was taken over by Zhang Juzheng, who is now the Minister of War.

Zhang Juzheng, who has long wanted to rectify the guards and the Beijing camp, has been gearing up for a long time.

The top and bottom of the DPRK reached a consensus, and the reform of the health center presided over by Zhang Juzheng was carried out smoothly.

With the detailed operation plan provided by Lu Li, the reorganization of the health centers in various places went very smoothly, and almost all of them responded.

Jingying is a bit more complicated, but Lu Li also provided Zhang Juzheng with a new solution.

Set up large-scale manufacturing workshops to absorb Beijing's labor force on the spot. Those who do not want to be working class can also go to sea. There are so many islands in the South China Sea, anyone who wants to be a tyrant can go there.

As for the noble children of Jingying, they no longer look down on the small amount of money that they can afford. They were the first to go out to Hainan and Ocean, and they were the ones who took up resources everywhere.

Under this circumstance, the restructuring work from Beijing Camp to the local guardhouse went very smoothly and was easily done.

Guards all over the country, following Lu Li's model, have carried out vigorous construction, and various workshops are blooming everywhere. This made Daming's industrial and commercial output further surge.

The reorganization of the guards in the border areas has made some changes in the plan.

The Tartars in the north have been crippled by Lu Li, and they still haven't recovered.

The complete elimination of the Tatars is unnecessary and inappropriate. Chinese civilization is a civilization of farming and warfare, and grazing is not understood. If the Tartars are eliminated, but the grasslands cannot be used effectively, new grassland tribes will inevitably be born.

From the Shang, Zhou, Qin and Han Dynasties, the war between the Central Plains and the grasslands has never subsided. Destroy a prairie tribe and give birth to a new prairie tribe.

To solve the problem once and for all, the means of war is not the best means.

Therefore, for the restructuring of the Daming Border Guard Station, Lu Li's idea for Zhang Juzheng was to focus on workshops such as wool spinning, leather, dairy products, and meat products.

Machines and equipment driven by steam power have brought about a huge revolution in production efficiency. The cattle and sheep on the grassland are a steady stream of raw materials.

In fact, the reason why the grassland tribes attacked the Central Plains was because in many cases... they couldn't survive.

Today, with shearing and milking of cows to solve survival problems, coupled with the deterrence of the new army, everyone knows how to choose.

According to Lu Li's plan, Zhang Juzheng implemented the reform of the military system of the guards on the northern border. The progress was still smooth, but... he encountered a new problem.

When sending envoys to negotiate with the new Tatar Khan, the Tatar Khan agreed with Zhang Juzheng's proposal and agreed to carry out large-scale trade with Daming, which in itself was what the Tatars hoped.

But... Tatar Khan suggested that they need to get Lu Li's personal assurance.

In the first battle, Lu Li, who had destroyed 100,000 Tatar cavalry, had a deterrent power to the Tatar troops, so high that even Lu Li himself could not believe it.

Lu Li is too powerful!

Without Lu Li's personal commitment, the Tartars would not dare to approach the Great Wall, for fear that Lu Li would be beaten again.

Zhang Juzheng was helpless, so he had to send a letter to Lu Li, informing him of the incident.

Lu Li almost laughed when he received Zhang Juzheng's letter.

It is a good thing that the Tartars have lost their courage. As long as the operation is done well, from beyond the Great Wall to the Arctic Ocean, it will become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Afterwards, Lu Li returned on a destroyer and returned to the capital from Malacca.

This distance is relatively long. Fortunately, Lu Li has set up naval bases in various places. Once the destroyer's fuel is insufficient, he can change to another destroyer at a nearby base to continue running.

Back in the capital, Lu Li met with Emperor Jiajing.

He reported the work in Nanyang to Emperor Jiajing, and introduced Australia, Tianzhu, and North and South America to be developed next to Emperor Jiajing.

"Australia is about the same size as the Central Plains? Tianzhu is only a little smaller than the Central Plains? North and South America are five times larger than the Central Plains?"

Emperor Jiajing's eyes widened, "These places... do you want to shoot down?"

"In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the sun and the moon will shine forever."

This is the empire on which the sun never sets. No matter day or night, the sun and the moon will always shine brightly!

"it is good!"

Jiajing stretched out his hand and patted the table, then burst out laughing.

If Lu Li can really conquer such a huge territory, then it's really... the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors can't compare to my Jiajing! I am not the first emperor of the ages, who would dare to be the first emperor of the ages?

After meeting Jiajing, Lu Li did not delay any longer, and went straight to Datong to meet Zhang Juzheng.

"Xiaguan Zhang Juzheng, I have met Duke Yue!"

In Datong Mansion, after Zhang Juzheng met Lu Li, he hurriedly greeted Lu Li.

"Brother Taiyue, don't be too polite."

Lu Li quickly helped Zhang Juzheng up.

"The Duke of Yue has made great achievements, and I admire him very much."

For Lu Li's achievements, Zhang Juzheng was sincerely convinced. It is said that fighting a war is a waste of military power and a waste of money, but when Lu Li fought a war, the treasury was full and the merchants prospered.

The two took their seats, and Lu Li talked with Zhang Juzheng again.

This time, Lu Li and Zhang Juzheng proposed to untie the fetters of household registration and allow the people of Daming to freely go to any territory in Daming.

To increase the development of overseas territories, it is necessary to allow free movement of the population.

Zhang Juzheng also agrees with Lu Li's opinion. After all, everyone can understand the current situation. Going to sea is much more profitable than guarding a few acres of land at home.

The population of Daming is so large that without high-yield crops, it is difficult for the family's land to support so many people.

If these populations are relocated overseas and the products of overseas territories are used, this problem does not exist at all.

The common people can eat well, clothe themselves warmly, and live a good life. The Ming Dynasty will not be easy forever.

Zhang Juzheng also wanted such a great achievement. It is not only the Duke of Yue who has left his name in the history!

...

The next day, Lu Li took a team of personal guards and went to the grassland with Zhang Juzheng to talk with the Tatar Khan.

Today is the forty-third year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty in February.

The scorching sun in the South Ocean is high, but the grasslands in the north are icy and snowy.

Walking on the vast snow and ice, Lu Li and his party came to the felt tent that the Tartar Khan had set up on the grassland.

The Tartar Khan took ten thousand cavalry and lined up three miles behind the felt tent.

Behind Lu Li was a formation of five thousand Jinshan guards.

The tent was set up between the two armies, and Lu Li did not even bring his personal guards. He walked with Zhang Juzheng and went straight to the tent of the Tartar Khan.

The Tatar Khan was even more single, and he was the only one in the camp.

There was a bonfire burning in the tent. To Lu Li's surprise, the bonfire turned out to be honeycomb.

Tatar Khan sat in front of a briquettes bonfire with a barbecue grill and roasted a little lamb.

"You are here?"

Seeing Lu Li and Zhang Juzheng walking into the tent together, Tartar Khan nodded slightly, "Sit down! The sheep will be roasted right away."

"It's not good to use coal fire for roasting mutton. The gas is too heavy. Besides, your roasted mutton has neither pepper nor cumin, so it's definitely not delicious."

Lu Li laughed and joked, sat down opposite the Tartar Khan, and began to observe the new Tartar Khan.

The Tatar Khan in front of him looked like he was in his twenties or thirties. He was still a young man. Maybe he was the son of the previous Tatar Khan?

"Do you think coal fire is bad? Do you think the lamb roasted like this is not good?"

The young Tartar Khan raised his eyes to look at Lu Li, with a flash of sadness in his eyes, "We Tartars can only use this kind of coal fire. Only the nobles can eat this kind of roast mutton. For you, these things are not Totally insignificant."

Putting down the meat-cutting knife in his hand, the young Tartar Khan said to Lu Li, "You know what? This winter, we froze to death and starved to death 20% of the population."

"In your eyes, we are evil. Because we attack your borders, we burn, kill and loot. But, you don't know, it's just for survival!"

"If I was born in Daming, I would also be a gentleman who is knowledgeable and sensible. But I was born in the grassland, so... I can only pick up a sword and a gun."

Having said that, the young Tatar Khan glanced at Lu Li blankly, "You are an invincible hero. In front of you, I am not an opponent at all. Then, can you tell me, if you are a Tatar Khan, What will you do?"

"For me, it's not a problem at all."

Lu Li smiled and said to the Tatar Khan: "You have a small population in total? Are there three million people? What is the problem of feeding three million people? We have solved the problem of eating for hundreds of millions of people in Daming, we are still far from it. You millions?"

With that said, Lu Li stretched out his hand and took out a short knife, cut a piece of meat on the barbecue grill, and handed it to Tartar Khan, "Follow Daming, there is meat to eat, and you have enough!"

"The rules on the grassland, if I can't beat you, I will join your tribe."

Tartar Khan looked at the piece of meat that Lu Li handed over, "However, how can you guarantee that we will be full?"

"That's what we're going to discuss today."

Lu Li put the short knife in his hand, along with the piece of meat on it, into the hands of Tartar Khan, "In the future, the cattle and sheep on the grassland will no longer be worried about being frozen to death. Before they are frozen to death, they will You can sell them all. You can exchange enough food for you."

"In addition, we also need wool, as much as we have. Wool can also be exchanged for cold clothes and food to satisfy our stomachs."

"As long as you herd cattle and sheep safely, you will never have to worry about cold and hunger. Daming has enough food for you to eat, enough clothes for you to wear, and enough coal fire to keep you warm."

Tatar Khan took the short knife and meat pieces that Lu Li handed over, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and said to Lu Li, "So... what is the price? What do we have to pay for this?"

"The price is..."

Lu Li stood up and pointed to the north, "You are no longer the Tartars, but the people of Daming. From the north of the Great Wall to the endless glaciers, this land is only allowed to fly the flag of Daming!"

"The Oaras in the west would not agree."

Tatar Khan smiled and took a bite of the mutton with his short knife.

"They'll agree!"

Lu Li stretched out his finger and pointed to his chest, "I'm here, they will definitely agree."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The Tatar Khan laughed and stood up, "You may not believe it, I haven't eaten for a few days. This winter, the Tatars have been starving for a long time. If you really think we are the people of Ming Dynasty, send them first. Come get some food!"

"This is not a problem!"

Lu Li nodded, "Let's put it on the table! Submit the table to Da Mingzi, and the Tartar Ministry asks for it. From then on, the Tartars are the people of Damin. It's our duty to keep the people of Daming well fed."

"it is good!"

The Tatar Khan turned around and took down the big banner representing the identity of the Tatar Khan from the entrance of the tent, spread it in his hand, and handed it to Lu Li, "From now on, the Tatar division will be the Ming Tatar division!"

Afterwards, Zhang Juzheng drafted a memorial, which was published in the name of the Tatar Khan, and requested to be attached to the Ministry and attributed to Daming!

Datong Chengguan also sent truckloads of potatoes and sweet potatoes, so that the hungry and cold Tatars finally had a full meal.

Since then, from northern Shaanxi to the northeast, on the northern grasslands, the flag of the sun and the moon has been flying.
