Chapter 375: Far Surpassing the Achievements of Fenglangjuxu! Giant Warships,

Chapter 375 The merit of far reaching the throne of the wolf! Giant battleship, majestic appearance!

Start by designing a local village community.

He just thought a lot.

The rural and village economy must not be reduced to the official economy.

Nor can it be reduced to a gentry economy.

In a word, rural village communities must not be reduced to an economy controlled by a few people.

That's why there are a series of rules such as gentry are not allowed to buy shares, shares are not transferable and can only be inherited.

Only inheritance means that the land is completely given to each family in the form of equity. Except for circulation within the family, it cannot be traded through money.

If he had directly proposed a ban on private land transactions.

Never mind that the gentry would object.

People will not understand it and will oppose it.

No way.

Most people have a dream of becoming a landlord by being diligent and thrifty.

For thousands of years, imperial power has been trapped in land annexation.

Dynasties kept changing.

Didn't the emperors ever think of banning land transactions?

Thought about it.

But every emperor was afraid, and there was opposition from the elite and common people.

Let alone the issue of land annexation hundreds of years later.

It may be overthrown immediately.

The gentry could understand that rural village societies would eventually be greatly curbed and land annexation would be frozen.

As for the people.

Now, most people have not seen that the land has finally been completely frozen in the form of equity.

Why didn't the gentry remind the people?

Or, to be more precise, why were the gentry unable to arouse the common people's opposition?

Nothing else.

Just a guide!

Rural village communities can quickly change people's originally difficult lives.

When more and more people see that the villages have completed rural communes and their lives have improved, they will instantly abandon the elusive idea of ​​being thrifty and managing their families and annexing land.

Compared with the dream of being diligent and thrifty, annexing land, and becoming a landlord.

People prefer quick results.

After all, I can’t even get enough to eat.

Now there is a way for everyone to have enough to eat in just one or two years.

Most people will choose to eat quickly.

"Your Majesty, the gentry have seized on the loophole of the rural community. The equity cannot be transferred. But once the rural community loses all its money and needs to use equity to repay debts, they can take advantage of this loophole and cleverly transfer the equity. …”

Ye Mao smiled bitterly and shook his head.

In this world, a few smart people can always find all kinds of loopholes.

Take good things and disintegrate them into pieces.

Thereby achieving an increase in one's own wealth and status.

"What about the capable leaders in the village in the future? They can also follow similar methods."

Zhu Di smiled, "So, we did a good job in this comparison! We have to thank Master Zhang!"

Ye Mao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhu Di.

He could hear that the prince obviously had a way to deal with it.

Zhu Di sneered and continued: "It is not difficult to cleanse these smart gentry in Fujian. It is illegal for gentry to take shares. No matter how clever they transfer the shares, the initial procedure is already illegal. When the time comes, when I leave Beizheng and things break out, After coming back, I will use this as an excuse to handle a few ironclad cases of confiscation of homes and genocide..."

These gentry families.

There must be innocent people.

But he will not influence the entire policy for the sake of a few people.

It must be an ironclad case of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

No matter how many innocent people are implicated, you have to do this.

What is to be done is known to the world.

Only in this way can the purpose of alerting the people be achieved.

Ye Mao looked at Zhu Di and said this calmly.

Feeling cold all over.

This is what makes great things happen.

Those who engage in power manipulation must have a low enough political moral bottom line.

Kill ten thousand and benefit tens of millions.

It's not anything wrong.

"As for the capable leader in the village, who deliberately engages in compensating business and makes the local village community lose all their money, the possibility of paying off the debt with equity can be stipulated through law..."

Just have limited liability.

If the rural village community loses compensation, the creditor can only divide the rural community's other assets except farmland, cattle, and farm tools.

The most primitive capital, with land as equity capital, is no longer included in the liquidation.

In this way, no one can annex the equity of the rural village community.

The original equity represented by land is retained, and the weak can start over.

We must prevent capable rural leaders from engaging in dirty work in rural communities.

If they want to earn more wealth and have a higher status, the system forces them to leave the countryside and go to county and state capitals to engage in business and a series of other affairs.

Or, make rural village communities bigger and stronger.

Just like Tuqiao Village.

Uncle Ba and others joined forces with other villages to run rice shops and wine making.

The bigger the cake is, the more moisture will be distributed among it.

"In short, when a rural village community develops to a higher level, it is a kind of commercial behavior. As long as it does not develop into a gentry economy or an official economy, it doesn't matter even if there is some corruption..."

Ye Mao listened carefully, pondered and nodded silently.

Pure business behavior.

Corruption is not terrible.

In today's businesses and shops, are the shopkeepers not greedy?

greedy!

Even in the Dayan Trading Company controlled by His Highness, there must be people who are doing something to it.

But the shopkeeper’s greed must also create profits.

Otherwise, the club can replace him.

The rural village community developed to a higher level and became what the prince called a small economy with commercial activities.

Those who are in charge must also create benefits.

Otherwise, the families whose shares cannot be deprived will not agree.

These families have the right to vote.

Moreover, as the rural villages develop, the people will have money and will definitely let their children receive education, that's for sure!

In the Central Plains since ancient times, regardless of whether they can pass the imperial examinations or not.

The status of scholars is higher than others.

When the people have money, after satisfying their basic needs, they will definitely save money and provide their children with education.

It will be difficult to fool the countryside in a dozen years!

I'm afraid the prince has thought of this a long time ago.

Therefore, the most difficult period for the rural villages is the first ten years.

As long as the court can follow the prince's idea, be unwavering, and provide good guidance in the first ten years.

When the rural villages mature, the court can do nothing and continue to reap dividends.

I don't know if your majesty and the prince understand the prince's good intentions.

Ye Mao came back to his senses, "Prince, if the land is inherited within the family, as the family population increases, the per capita land will decrease. The equity also faces the same problem. How to solve this problem?"

"It is easy to solve. The advantage of equity over land is that as long as the rural villages and communities develop well, even a small amount of equity can get huge returns. If the people do not want to reduce their benefits due to the inheritance of equity and the reduction of per capita shares, the most direct way is for everyone to work together to make their rural villages and communities bigger and stronger. In the future, there will definitely be such rural villages and communities. They will take the lead in integrating the resources of the surrounding rural villages and communities. Several villages will unite and use more resources to leverage greater wealth..."

Therefore, in the future, the rural villages and communities will have more and more say in the court.

"In addition to this method, it is to split the family. For example, the eldest son inherits the shares, but the family has to take out money to support other children to go out. Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, and the court can settle them. In the future, the sea ban will be completely lifted. We will expand our territory outside. If we want to assimilate the four barbarians, we also need the people of the Central Plains..."

It is not realistic for the court to bear the financial burden of the people's migration.

Don't say you can't afford it now.

Even in the future.

Large-scale migration of the people is difficult.

But if the people have money, if they don't want to divide their shares, they can take out their savings and support their children to go out.

Because since ancient times, from the imperial power to the gentry, the Central Plains has a tradition of leaving the best family business to the eldest son to inherit.

The atmosphere of the elite has long deeply influenced the people.

Most of all social customs are the atmosphere of the elite. From ancient times to the present, the people have been imitating the elite.

The next ten years.

Children aged five or six now face the problem of starting a family and starting a business.

It can be predicted that in ten years, Fujian and places that have developed rural villages first will most likely see a wave of family-supported migration.

And this is the opportunity he is waiting for.

At that time, he must seize this wave of migration and attract the people of the Central Plains on a large scale to migrate to all parts of the world.

Ten years later, the Central Plains will definitely stage a magnificent wave of sea adventures.

In the first ten years, he must lay the foundation.

Welcome this wave, the people of the Central Plains, go out of the Central Plains, and explore the deep blue.

There is no foundation, and there is no enough territory in advance.

The outside world is too dangerous, which will scare away the courage that the people have just mustered.

This wave is for him.

The overwhelming wealth for the people of the Central Plains, once it comes, they can't fully catch it.

When his father and mother are gone, he can't predict what the future will be like.

Therefore, he must seize this wave that will most likely appear in ten years.

...

Ye Mao listened to Zhu Di's ideas and plans, as if he could hear the sound of the waves surging in his heart.

Excited, his face flushed, he suddenly stood up, "Your Highness, I have done some wrong and confused things, please give me a chance to work hard for you and let me go down in history!"

Plop!

As soon as the voice fell, Ye Mao knelt down and prostrated himself.

Perhaps, he was the first minister to hear His Highness's ideas so completely.

This is his luck.

He didn't consider the future title of nobility or general.

He cared more about the impact of this event on the next few hundred or even thousands of years.

Hundreds of thousands and millions of people followed them, like waves, rushing to the deep blue to open up...

This is a pioneering work that has never been done before and will never be done again.

It is destined to be recorded in bold and colorful words!

If this is done, it can be compared with the Yanran Stone Carvings of Dou Xian and Ban Gu, and the Fenglangjuxu of Champion Marquis Huo Qubing.

Even surpass it!

This is definitely the greatest feat in the thousands of years of history of the Central Plains!

Zhu Di smiled and said, "There are few people around me who can be used. If you are willing, I certainly welcome you. Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ye Mao thanked him loudly and stood up excitedly.

...

Three days later.

Xu Miaoyun set off.

Li Yu, who was also pregnant, also went back with him.

Before leaving.

In front of the carriage.

Xiao Mian'ao hugged Zhu Di tightly, "Dad, mother doesn't want to leave you..."

Xu Miaoyun blushed instantly.

The others all turned around with a smile.

His Highness's little Qihua is really eccentric.

Xu Miaoyun blushed and said unhappily: "If you don't want it yourself, don't use me as an excuse!"

What sin did she commit? This black-hearted little cotton jacket is full of leaks.

Complained to Silang: She keeps a secret.

Now she is pestering Silang again under her own pretext!

Zhu Di glanced at Xu Miaoyun with a smile. What Miaoyun did back then, now all the little cotton-padded jackets are back.

With a smile, he coaxed softly: "Daddy will go back soon. Haven't you been shouting about our old home and the village where Senior Brother Dongxu lives? If you don't leave now, you will have no choice but to wait until dad returns to Jinling. Are you willing to stay in Fujian with your mother?"

The little girl looked up.

Black Doudou looked at Zhu Di with big eyes and shook his head.

He leaned into Zhu Di's ear and whispered quietly: "Dad, no matter how busy you are, you must eat well, rest well, and soak your feet with herbs. I will ask my brother to supervise you. If you can't do it, in the future, I won’t kiss you anymore!”

Zhu Di looked at Yong Ming with a smile.

The brat is quite reserved.

He pursed his lips and turned his head to look aside.

Turning around, he promised with a smile: "Okay, when your elder brother and I go back to pick you up, you can ask your elder brother to report to you. If dad doesn't do it, don't kiss dad!"

The little girl nodded.

Only then did he reach out to Xu Miaoyun for a hug.

Xu Miaoyun caught it with a glare.

Zhu Di handed the imperial gold medal to Xu Miaoyun and whispered: "If you encounter problems on the road and the brothers can't solve them, use the imperial gold medal. I can bear no matter how much trouble you two get into."

The reason for keeping a low profile this time.

I'm just worried about something happening on the road.

He has harmed the interests of too many people over the years.

I don't know how many people hated him to the core.

There is no guarantee that someone will not take the risk.

Xu Miaoyun nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself and Qihua."

She knew it.

Ever since the incident of Jin Yiwei winning over Lu Zhen happened.

Shiro guessed that the situation between North Korea and China had undergone subtle changes.

This series of subtle changes.

Shiro's attitude is: 'Don't think too much, don't make random guesses! ’

But it doesn't mean that Shiro is unprepared and alert.

Zhu Di nodded.

He turned around and came to the old brother who was escorting him on this trip.

Without waiting for Zhu Di to speak.

The old brother lowered his voice and said solemnly: "Your Highness, brothers all know what to do. During this trip, if anyone makes things difficult for the princess, even if they are gods and Buddhas, brothers will kill them!"

Zhu Di smiled and nodded.

They are all old brothers who came back from the grassland with him and died.

He could give his back to them without reservation.

"Let's set off!"

Following Zhu Di's order.

The brothers in disguise escorted a carriage away slowly.

…

Later, Zhu Di stayed in Fujian and returned to Jian'an to deal with some matters.

Late January.

Return to Min County again and prepare to return to Jilong Island.

Xu Huizu's study.

"Brother-in-law, now that you have the opportunity, just focus on your Dongfan." Xu Huizu smiled and joked. In fact, he knew that his brother-in-law was trying to reduce his influence in Fujian as much as possible.

So as not to irritate some people in the DPRK too much.

Even so.

Some people began to talk that Fujian was no longer the Fujian of the imperial court, but the Fujian of King Yan.

Zhu Di smiled and glared, "Let's get down to business, what's the matter? I just entered the city and you mysteriously wanted to talk to me alone."

As soon as he arrived in Min County, Hui Zu mysteriously said that he had something to talk to him alone.

"A few days ago, I received a letter from my father. My father said in the letter that His Majesty has ordered Liaodong to launch a campaign to expel Nahachu this year. It should be to avoid the northern expedition to fight on multiple fronts and burden the court too much..."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly.

here we go!

The start of the Liaodong Campaign was the prelude to this northern expedition.

It seemed to be pretty much what he expected.

Based on Uncle Tang's ability to command troops and the imperial government's relatively abundant treasury in recent years, there is a high probability that the Liaodong War will come to an end before the end of this year.

"In addition, my father also said that His Majesty has revealed that after the Northern Expedition, he will be touring Fujian to the south. Your Majesty, the Queen... I am afraid that the scale of this southern tour will be larger, far exceeding the last observation group."

Zhu Di couldn't help but stare in surprise.

This is a bit unexpected.

"Did Taishan tell me about my mother's condition?"

Throughout the fifteen years of Hongwu, he had been on tenterhooks and watched the heroes closely.

Unexpectedly, the queen mother fell ill.

If Chunxiao hadn't written to him and Miaoyun, he wouldn't have known about it.

Xu Huizu said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, my aunt's illness has improved. She will return to Jinling during the Chinese New Year. I heard from my father that after the New Year, Your Majesty will send my aunt to Tuqiao Village. My aunt will get along with Eight Aunts and the others in Tuqiao Village. There is nothing to worry about." It will definitely lead to a long life.”

…

at the same time.

Zhouzhuang Shen Garden.

After Xu Miaoyun arrived in Zhouzhuang, the Shen family, which had received the news early, had already scanned the tower and waited.

The third room of the Shen family.

In recent years, industries have been gradually transferred to Fujian and Dongpan.

However, most people in Sanfang have not yet migrated.

After Xu Miaoyun arrived.

I stayed in the third room of the Shen family.

After a day of rest.

The women of the Shen family accompanied Xu Miaoyun to visit the local village community built with the help of the Shen family.

Here, Xu Miaoyun saw the mulberry garden built by the Shen family to help the people.

I visited people raising silkworms.

I saw young girls in the countryside weaving silk and embroidering.

The Zhouzhuang rural community built with the help of the Shen family is more refined and complete than the Jian'an rural community.

This is also normal.

Jian'an, and even the entire Fujian rural community.

Shiro always uses business behavior and macro guidance after laying a good foundation.

It's bound to be impossible to be precise.

Zhouzhuang has deeply cultivated and refined local village communities. It can be seen that the Shen family has indeed spent a lot of effort and thought.

Xu Miaoyun was not stingy and said something that the Shen family wanted to hear.

That night.

Xu Miaoyun put Qihua to sleep and was about to rest.

There was a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, he found that it was Shen Zhi's wife.

"Princess, I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"

"without."

Xu Miaoyun invited the person into the house and chatted for a few words. He turned to his wife and asked tentatively: "Princess, I heard that Your Majesty is going to visit Fujian in the south. Is it true?"

Xu Miaoyun was slightly stunned.

She really didn't know the news.

When Xu Da's letter arrived in Min County, Xu Miaoyun and his party had already set off.

"I did not receive this news." Xu Miaoyun asked with a gentle smile: "Who did you listen to?"

"My cousin is an official in Beijing. He wrote back and said that the whole capital is talking about this matter..."

When Xu Miaoyun heard what Shen Zhi's wife said, he concluded that it was probably true.

A place like Jinling is full of holes.

She also knew the purpose of Shen Zhi's wife coming.

It must have been entrusted by the eldest and second bedroom of the Shen family.

If the guess is correct, the Shen family must have hoped that their father would come to Zhouzhuang Shen Garden during his southern tour to see the local village community that the Shen family helped the people build.

The Shen family lives on thin ice and hopes to be recognized by their father, so that they can be at ease.

"If the matter is true, and my father is passing through Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Silang can help the Shen family think of a way to have His Majesty come to the Shen family to have a look..."

She didn't finish her sentence.

However, what the Shen family has done in the past few years is indeed remarkable.

If we can give the Shen family some reassurance and set the Shen family as a model, it will be good for the court and the local villages.

Moreover, the third brother of the Shen family has really helped Shiro a lot over the years.

Shiro just mentioned two hundred thousand taels of silver.

Shen Zhi and his father immediately helped raise funds.

This money was paid back to the Shen family after the shop on Jilong Island was sold. After Silang became a little more comfortable, he returned the money to the Shen family for three bedrooms.

Shen Zhi's wife hurriedly stood up and said gratefully: "Thank you, Princess, thank you, Princess."

This matter actually has nothing to do with the third room.

After all, Sanfang will follow King Yan to develop overseas.

But after all, they are a family. The eldest and second bedrooms humbly begged the third bedroom, so they had to help.

The princess's revelations, whether successful or not, gave them enough face.

…

After Xu Miaoyun rested briefly at Shen's house, she continued her journey north.

Although Xu Miaoyun was very low-key when she returned to Beijing, how could she hide this kind of thing? Jin Yiwei's spies in Fujian were closely guarded.

Within the Ming Dynasty.

The Jinyiwei system is the most complete and intensive in the two places.

One is Jinling.

One is Fujian.

Half a month after Xu Miaoyun left the Shen family.

The news spread back to Jinling.

At this time, Ma Xiuying had not yet left for Tuqiao Village.

Kunning Palace.

After Zhu Yuanzhang put down the letter and newspaper, he stared at Jiang Xiang with sharp eyes, "You Jin Yiwei will ensure that Miao Yun and her daughter are safe. If they lose a hair, you will kill yourself!"

Jiang 𤩽’s eyes trembled in his pupils, and a chill spread all over his body, and he hurriedly said: “Your Majesty, don’t worry, I will personally go to greet Princess Yan!”

He could tell that the emperor was not trying to scare him.

If something happens to Xu Miaoyun and her daughter, he really has to be buried with her!

Zhu Silang has done all the bad and cruel things, and now he is finally scared?

Otherwise, why is Xu Miaoyun's whereabouts so low-key?

…

Why!

Seeing Jiang 𤩽 leave, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly sighed and patted his knees, "We owe this bastard fourth son of ours a lot."

The wife and daughter return to court.

You have to be so cautious.

Why?

Isn’t that the case? You have offended too many people by doing this and that for him over the years?

Isn’t it a whetstone for Biao’er and has offended too many people?

But there's nothing he can do to make up for this son?

"How about after Xiao Qihua returns to the palace, let her come to the palace to stay with us and you for a while, and then you go to Tuqiao Village?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ma Xiuying.

Wait for Xiao Yongming to come back with the fourth child.

He will take charge of it himself for a while.

Ma Xiuying smiled and nodded.

…

Jiang 𤩽 suddenly left Beijing with a large number of royal guards.

The upper levels of Jinling were alerted immediately.

"What did this eagle dog do?"

"The entire Jinling Jinyi Guard's elite soldiers and generals have left!"

"Isn't something big happening?"

…

The courtiers and dignitaries were talking a lot, but no matter how much they inquired, they couldn't get any information.

…

As the time goes.

After Jiang 𤩽 left, he did not return to Beijing for a long time.

When all the officials in Jinling became even more uneasy.

Jilong Island.

Shen Zhi, Yu Jing, and Jiang Jinzhong stood in the expanded dock and looked at the behemoth.

Yu Jingle grinned from ear to ear, "This is the warship our navy needs. Old Chiang, in the future our navy will all be equipped with this kind of warship!"

Jiang Jinzhong's face turned green, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

Beautiful thought!

He had been on Shen Zhi and Yu Jing's pirate ship from the very beginning!

In the beginning, the budget these two bastards came up with was only 20,000 taels.

But not long after the construction started, Yu Jing shamelessly approached him with a flattering smile on his face and asked for money.

At that time he wanted to refuse.

What did this bastard say? It only takes 30,000 taels to build it. If you give up now, the early 20,000 taels will be wasted.

He gritted his teeth and finally squeezed out thirty thousand taels.

Okay.

Wait until the entire warship is completed.

That bastard Yu Jing just told him to think about it for him in order not to embarrass him.

Borrowed 30,000 taels from Shen Zhi!

Shen Zhi also patted his chest and said, this is the Shen family's contribution to the navy and there is no need to pay it back.

But he knew the prince's character.

How could you agree to such a thing?

I can only search my pockets and pay off the Shen family's thirty thousand taels bit by bit.

A total of eighty thousand taels!

That's why we now have this warship, which is thirty-three feet long, four feet wide, and four feet high, equipped with three huge sails.

There are four cabins in total.

Above the waterline, there are three levels of cabins.

Fifteen to twenty artillery pieces are arranged on each floor.

With deck guns.

There are eighty doors on each side on the left and right sides!

The entire warship is equipped with one hundred and eighty artillery pieces!

This is not the drawing that bastard Yu Jing showed him at first!

The original drawings had a maximum configuration of one hundred and twenty artillery pieces.

These two bastards, during the construction process, continued to enlarge the size of the warship, and they also claimed that the design was inaccurate. During the first construction, everything was groping, and mistakes would inevitably be made as a result of groping.

"Eighty thousand taels is enough to assemble an army town. I will get on your pirate ship and get a ship. The prince comes back from Palawan Island. If he wants to die, you guys will die with me!"

This matter has always been carried on the prince's back.

The prince came several times to inspect the shipyard.

They all claimed that this was a ship customized by the Shen family.

It wasn't until the prince and the princess left Jilong Island.

Only then began to work intensively to remove the camouflaged shooting port in the cabin and assemble the artillery.

Yu Jing and Shen Zhi looked at each other with smiles.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Xu Xianchang returned to Jinling and brought back the water pattern of the Qinhuai River.

No matter how big the warship is built, it will be great.

It cannot enter the Qinhuai River.

They will make it bigger.

Shen Zhi and Yu Jing put their arms around Jiang Jinzhong's shoulders.

Yu Jing smiled and said: "Old Chiang, don't be so sad. It's our first time to build such a huge warship. We have no experience, so we spent 80,000 taels on you. In the future, we will build such a ship without artillery, which will cost 20,000 to 30,000 taels." That’s about it.”

This giant warship took two years to build!

The cost of trial and error is too high.

According to calculations after completion, if the cost of trial and error is cut off, such a warship can only be equipped with artillery for a maximum of 40,000 taels.

In other words, the prince’s pocket is cleaner than his face now.

If the prince had one million taels, he would have to defraud at least 800,000 taels and build twenty ships.

This is called the Navy!

Today's naval warships are simply children's toys compared to this one.

Shen Zhi also smiled and comforted: "Old Chiang, if we can build this warship, it is equivalent to mastering the construction technology of large-scale sea trade merchant ships. With this contribution, our Jilongyu Shipyard will be able to build Golden eggs, this is an order placed by our Shen family and other powerful people in Fujian..."

Jiang Jinzhong took it and looked at the orders for the five ships. A smile instantly appeared on his face, "In this way, I dare to face the prince. In a few months, the prince's birthday will be. According to past habits, the prince will definitely come back with Dongxu and the others. Then, when the time comes, we will give this warship to the prince as a birthday gift."

"good idea!"

"Old Jiang, you are the biggest flatterer around the prince! You should be punished!"

"I have spent so much money, and now I can't wait to sail this warship back to Jinling... Yu Jing, I will not be able to accompany you when you return to Jinling soon. You have to give the prince a chance, or I will strangle you to death! "
