Chapter 87 Priority

Qian Duoduo lay on the brocade couch with a thick blanket covering her to pretend to be pregnant.

As far as Yun Zhao knows, there was no fart in her belly except the longan core that she had accidentally swallowed.

Even though he was humming, Yun Zhao pretended not to see or hear it. Since the slave market opened, the memoirs from all over the country have accumulated like mountains.

Everything said.

I have suggestions for those who want to be promoted.

There is a suggestion to dismember Xu Wuxiang Wuma.

Some people also use rational words to measure whether this matter is correct or not.

Of course, the most common thing is to talk about the pros and cons of this matter, but there is no memorial to dismember Xu Wuxiang Wuma.

Zhang Guozhu did not want to participate in this matter at all. As long as the memorials he received were given to Yun Zhao, he didn't even want to screen them.

A wall stands thousands of feet high, without desire, will become strong!

This is Zhang Guozhu's attitude towards this matter.

In his opinion, whether to introduce slaves should first depend on whether the people of the Ming Dynasty could develop the mentality of superiors. Once this mentality was achieved, slaves should be introduced. After all, the emergence of slaves could resolve many contradictions within the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor insisted on giving high rewards to the craftsmen, and the emperor insisted on letting the workshop owners who hired Ming people be responsible for their husbands' birth, old age, sickness and death while making money.

Although this is suspected of being too corrected, this is the emperor's act of loving the people, and no one can object. Once it opposes, it will completely stand against the people.

However, doing so is problematic after all, and it is very unfavorable to the development of industry and commerce in the Ming Dynasty. The burden on merchants and workshop owners is too heavy, and a large part of the interests are taken away by the craftsmen. The consequence is that the workshop owners and merchants lack motivation for rebuilding workshops and shops.

When the slaves came in, they immediately solved the problem, at least they could balance it. On the one hand, the people of Daming could live a good life with high rewards. On the other hand, merchants and workshop owners could get some compensation from the slaves they hired.

Therefore, after the emperor introduced the national policy of introducing slaves, the Prime Minister's Office immediately published the issue of the proportion of slaves hiring, a workshop? An economy? The number of slaves hiring shall not exceed the number of Ming people hiring.

Once someone violates this national policy, he will be greeted with unprecedented heavy punishment? Even the power of bankruptcy of businessmen or workshop owners.

Yun Zhao also adopted the supplementary opinions of the Prime Minister's Office. So, it became a foregone conclusion that the slaves entered the Ming Dynasty.

The biggest reason why Yun Zhao agreed to the slaves enter the Ming Dynasty was the countless minor officials under his command.

These talents were the basis of the ruling of the Ming Dynasty.

In order to achieve this goal? Yun Zhao has always spared no effort in cultivating minor officials.

Basically, every Ming official climbed up step by step from minor officials, so the minor officials was a stage that Ming officials had to go through.

The village chief? The village chief? The county magistrate, prefect, prefect, and central. These official classes are the most precious experiences in the Ming Dynasty’s official system? Only those who climb up these steps will be valued by the court and even the world.

After processing the memorial, Yun Zhao came to Qian Duoduo's side and sat down. He put his hand on Qian Duoduo's smooth belly without knowing it? This woman is already crazy. God knows what strange things she applied to her belly.

"Zhao Guoxiu said I'm fine with my health? I barely feel a little cold? After applying these medicines, I can quickly adjust my body."

"What if it's my fault?"

Yun Zhao couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Qian Duoduo snorted and said, "Don't you know if my husband is a problem, I, a wife? Judging from your performance last night? The ones who have problems must be Feng Ying and I.

After hearing Qian Duoduo say this, Yun Zhao also felt that he had no problem. However, it was still very sad that he had achieved nothing after eight years of hard work.

Zhao Guoxiu is pregnant!

Although the child’s origin is strange, no one dares to ask. Whoever asks will be anxious about Zhao Guoxiu.

She stood in front of Yun Zhao again and again with her big belly erect, pointing at the child in her belly and saying, this is her child!

I don’t understand why Zhao Guoxiu emphasized this nonsense. Is the child she gave birth to is not her own? Is it the emperor?

Now, Yun Zhao is afraid of receiving a letter from a female official, and is even more afraid that a female official will suddenly tell him that she is pregnant. This asexual reproduction method makes Yun Zhao feel ashamed when facing many moral people.

Rich people should have more children!

This sentence is not what Yun Zhao said, but a unified discourse issued by two advanced academic places, Yushan Academy and Yushan University.

Very selfish and even a little shameless, but the gentlemen in the two academies also took out iron facts to prove the correctness of the truth they summarized.

Even Yun Zhao couldn't refute it.

Because - the richer a place is, the higher the possibility of talent being produced in this place.

They even took out the grade comparison tables of students from various places. Without comparison, there would be no harm. After comparison, even fools can see that students from wealthy places have better grades and better abilities.

Therefore, wealthy places are willing to invest their funds in cultural industries such as academies, while hard places are still working hard to take care of the people's belly, and as for their brains, they are not at the moment.

Yun Zhao knew that within ten years, there would be a visible gap between schools in various places, and in a few years, there would be a group of people who would migrate specifically for their children's studies in the Ming Dynasty.

This is now, and it will continue to be like this in a few hundred years, and it will become more and more intense.

It was about to start spring, and the Ming Dynasty suddenly became calm.

There are no more horrifying or sensational and venerable legends on Yun Zhao's desk, nor are there any tragedy in which people kill tens of thousands of people at any time. Everyone is busy making money, and it seems that there is no time to call the wind and rain.

Yanjing City is still as cold as ever. What I hate the most is that it starts to blow in spring. The wind is carrying gravel, which makes the tall trees whimper and scream, and they don’t stop all night.

God is willing to give Yanjing City a strong wind and gravel, but he is unwilling to give a little rain and snow. The land in the garden has thawed. Yun Zhao personally dug a hole and dug it until it is three feet deep before he sees the moist soil. The moisture conditions this year are really bad.

However, the people in Yanjing City were not very worried. The main reason was that Xu Wu wanted to build two huge reservoirs outside the capital while he was in office. As long as there was water in the reservoir, the people would not worry that the crops in the fields could not be planted.

In fact, the drought in the north of the Ming Dynasty was still continuing, but because too many water conservancy projects have been built day and night over the years, the drought has become less eye-catching.

However, water shortage in the north is still a fact that cannot be ignored.

Yun Zhao felt bitter when he thought of this. He knew how to change this matter. For example, building a dam on the Yellow River and putting countless water pumps around the Yellow River to pump water every day and night. After doing this, the Yellow River also had a flood, and it might be possible that it would dry up in Shandong.

The problem is that he can't do it. Not only can he not build dams upstream, but he can't even supply Yellow River water to dry places.

To Yushan Academy, Yushan issued a scientific research topic on irrigation to reduce the water volume of the Yellow River. Apart from proposing a self-flowing canal irrigation method, these two academies have no good solutions.

The self-flowing canal was not invented by them, but was developed by Li Bing, which was to dig a canal at a high position on the Yellow River, and to lure part of the Yellow River water to other places to create a new main stream of the Yellow River.

These days, Yun Zhao has approved sixteen such local projects in one go.

At the same time, he ordered the Henan garrison to start bombarding the ice surface of the Yellow River so as not to silt terrifying ice dams on the river channel, and finally flood the people on both sides of the river.

The reason why when it comes to the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, and the Huai River is that at the beginning of the year, the court has to pay river management fees to river workers, especially this year. Because of the flood in Henan last year, the court, after researching, allocated 21 million silver dollars of national treasury to river workers at one time, accounting for 10% of the national treasury expenditure.

What a huge burden. This money even exceeded the overall military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty and the expenses used by the dynasty to pay the salaries of officials.

It is impossible to achieve success in a river engineering.

God has never given Daming any good face in this matter.

When local officials and the people just spent huge amounts of money to build two dams that can prevent and control floods once in a century, a flood that will occur once in a five hundred years may occur next year.

The sky slapped the river officials and the emperor in such a slap, so that it was already numb until now.

After Zhang Guozhu allocated funds for river management, Yun Zhao was afraid that Zhang Guozhu would say something that could rest assured.

Fortunately, Zhang Guozhu didn't say it.

"Since Pan Jixun, a master of river management in the Wanli period, I am still using the river management methods summarized by this person in the Ming Dynasty. Yesterday, we weighed the water of the Yellow River. The river workers said that the amount of silt and sand will be carried by the Yellow River this year, so it is very dangerous.

Although our investment in river control is the most important in history, I am still worried that something will happen to the Yellow River. As long as something happens to the Yellow River, we will basically be a waste of time in the year. Therefore, the Prime Minister's Office is planning to send river control inspectors now, and to restrain officials along the Yellow River with severe punishments and treat this matter as a top priority."

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "The river management matter will be implemented according to your ideas. Let me say one more thing, that is, be careful, be careful, and be careful. Don't just focus on the Yellow River and forget the Yangtze River, Huai River and other rivers. You must not dare to be beaten by God.

If God doesn't give us a way out this year, we will migrate the people in the Yellow River and the flood areas of the Yangtze River and Huai River. Anyway, our country is large enough to leave a few areas for them to trouble you."
