Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters prosperous age
In order to popularize cultural education, Zhu Cilang has taken great pains to the point. Now the national treasury is abundant and taxes are repeatedly reduced.
But it cannot be reduced without reason. It is a good thing for the people to reduce taxes. For the people, with the high yield of grain, every household has stored grain. The taxes from the court even reached 30 taxes, which means that if a family earns 30,000 kilograms of grain, they only need to pay 1,000 kilograms of grain to the court.
Even so, Zhu Cilang still repeatedly reduced the exemption. For example, children of appropriate age can all exempt all fees when entering school. Also, if a child at home reaches the age of appropriate age but does not enroll, the tax will be doubled.
For the people, if they do not allow their children to go to school, they will pay a greater price. So they sent their children to school one after another.
The school no longer focuses on the Four Books and Five Classics as its main course, but instead cultivates more talents in abacus, medicine, water conservancy, science and technology, etc., especially focusing on promoting the "Ming Dynasty Journal".
The rise of schools in various places and the publication of Chimelong Daily have made the people's cultural level unprecedentedly improve. It is no longer a rare thing to be a scholar today. Only when you are a juren can you have some backgrounds.
Some people may wonder that even the high-yield grain crops promoted by Zhu Cixuan can barely solve the problem of food and clothing. However, for the low productivity of this era, how can such low taxes maintain the operation of the imperial court and the money in the treasury cannot be born out of thin air.
It’s really not. Not to mention that Xishan Glass Factory is in full swing. Many official glass factories have emerged in various places, and the production cost of this thing is low but the profit is extremely high.
In addition, the continuous mining of open-pit coal mines, and coal resources can bring about an industrial revolution.
Also, the booming development of maritime trade. The sea fleet of the Haiming Dynasty had sailed from sea to sea to trade with various countries. The porcelain, silk and tea of the Ming Dynasty were extremely popular overseas. The nobles of overseas countries were glorious about owning a piece of silk from the Ming Dynasty. They were all proud of having porcelain from the Ming Dynasty to entertain guests, which caused a large amount of silver to flow into the Ming Dynasty.
The above are all monopoly businesses run by the government. The profits it brings to the treasury are unprecedentedly amazing.
Therefore, Zhu Cilang would not worry about money at all. Instead, he was worried because he could not spend too much money on the treasury.
If the money in the treasury is not spent, it is dead money, which is not conducive to economic development. Therefore, the court began to attach great importance to investment in education, water conservancy, technology, etc.
Although a large amount of silver flows into the country, it will cause inflation to a certain extent. Fortunately, everything is within a controllable range.
From the beginning of being disgusted with government affairs to the exclusion of government affairs, and now being diligent in government affairs, Zhu Cixuan has undergone qualitative changes. After he has been in power for a long time, he has become more diligent in government affairs.
It turns out that holding the sun, moon and universe in your hand is such a refreshing thing. For example, reviewing memorials can help you understand the people's sentiments in various places. A small imperial pen in your hand will be a huge wave for the place.
This greatly tests the emperor's ability to govern. Fortunately, Zhu Cilang did a good job in this regard. The position of military battles in the army is becoming more and more important. The research and development of firearms cannot be separated from military battles, and the progress of technology cannot be separated from military battles. It is said that the first practical steam engine has been made.
Using the power of the steam engine, you can weave textiles. Using the power of the steam engine, you can drive the wheels. This is a technical advancement, which means that it is only a matter of time for a steam locomotive. However, Zhu Cixuan is busy with government affairs and has never had time to visit the military battle.
The firearms are still developing, and what scares Zhu Cilang is that some people have begun to develop smokeless gunpowder. This will directly bring humans into the killing weapon of modern warfare. Fortunately, it is only the initial stage. The successful development of true smokeless gunpowder is probably going to happen decades later.
The army is no longer the previous swords, guns, swords and arrows. The current Ming Iron Army has long been replaced with more powerful and more advanced muskets. Even three consecutive muskets have begun to be equipped one after another. This time the equipment is no longer the Hu Ben Army, but the Shenji Camp, which belongs to the three major camps.
The elimination of cold weapons and the changes in tactics and tactics. The generals of the previous king of cold weapons were replaced by a new generation of young generals. These young generals were all personal soldiers who promoted Zhu Cilang and swear to be loyal to Zhu Cilang.
The Manchus in Liaodong have long been integrated with the Han people, and the threat from the Manchus has long disappeared. The Liaodong Army is no longer the same as before. Hong Chengchou, the governor of Ji and Liao, has long been dismissed. Wu Sanguiye has written a letter to retire and return home, and Zhu Cixuan has already approved it.
The new younger generation of generals gradually replaced the older generation. Zhu Cilang's secret guard Meng Fanchao was given a first-class guard with a knife. What he enjoyed was the treatment of a first-class official.
At the same time, Zhu Cilang gave Chen Yuanyuan from Guanyin Temple to Meng Fanchao as his wife. Meng Fanchao knelt down happily and kowtowed to Zhu Cilang. Zhu Cilang smiled slightly. After getting married, Meng Fanchao and Chen Yuanyuan were in love and respect each other.
In fact, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty have always been ahead of the world, but the reason for the fall of the Ming Dynasty was a comprehensive factor. It is not because you can avoid it with the firearms.
The depravity of the army and the corruption of officials are the most fundamental reasons. No wonder some people say that the Ming Dynasty was already rotten at that time, and even gods could not save it.
In fact, it was not that difficult, Zhu Cilang pulled the Ming Dynasty back from the brink of death. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty is now moving towards a prosperous era.
Thinking about the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the world was open and tolerant, how glory it was. How dazzling was the prosperity of Tokyo Bianliang during the Song Dynasty. Why was it not possible to reach the Ming Dynasty?
The Ming Dynasty created by Zhu Cilang must achieve a prosperous situation where all nations come to dynasties. He wants to sail the Ming Dynasty all over the world, and he wants all countries in the world to bow down to the Ming Dynasty and respect the Ming Dynasty as the supreme country of the Celestial Empire.
However, this takes time, and it cannot be achieved by a simple talk of ambition. Standing in the Forbidden City, Zhu Cilang on the imperial stairs looked down at all living beings from a high place. This is the rule of the world.
Zhu Cilang was full of confidence at this moment, and he truly felt the ambition of holding the sun, moon and the universe.
In the back garden of Kunning Palace, in the sunset, the Forbidden City is shrouded in a warm and peaceful scene. Xiao Shishi snuggled beside Zhu Cilang and leaned her head gently on Zhu Cilang's shoulder.
Zhu Cilang looked at her tenderly and gently stroked her shoulders, "Your Majesty, I want to go out of the palace tomorrow."
Zhu Cixuan was stunned: "Leave the palace?"
Xiao Shishi raised her head gently and looked at him tenderly: "Well, let's disguise it. It's like, it's like a folk couple."
After leaving the palace in a concealed manner, Zhu Cilang's eyes lit up.
[Note:] "The Unrestrained Son of the Ming Dynasty" will continue to be restored and updated today, and the subsequent results will be more exciting.
