Chapter 23 Daming's sword will open the way for Daming's plow
Chongzhen nodded: "Why would you rather ask the internal officials to find craftsmen to try the production?"
Zhu Cixuan hurriedly said: "The father and the son want to set up two bureaus in the East Palace, namely the Dianju and the Dianju. The cost is raised by himself, so please ask the father to approve it."
Chongzhen thought that Zhu Cilang had indeed done a lot of things in recent times using math, and Zhu Cilang's alarmist words just now really made him feel a little urgency, so he nodded and agreed to Zhu Cilang's request.
Zhu Cixuan also wanted to mention the future of leaving the palace. Chongzhen said, "The court is a major event for the country. Since the emperor has such talent, he will start attending the court meeting tomorrow."
Zhu Ciyang exclaimed, he had always avoided courtship. He was too lazy to look at the faces of the officials. Seeing Chongzhen's unquestionable tone, Zhu Ciyang changed his mind and said, "Father, if the child goes to court, can he let the child leave the court and leave the palace and see?"
Chongzhen glared at Zhu Cilang, and the car was silent for a while before Chongzhen said lightly: "Take more guards, don't make trouble. If you make trouble, you won't be allowed to leave the palace in the future."
Zhu Cilang was overjoyed: "Thank you, Father."
Chongzhen thought for a while and asked, "What do the emperor think about the world's rent? And these corrupt officials have increased taxes indiscriminately, I will never let it go!"
Zhu Cilang looked up and said, "Father, this land has a master's property. We don't know how much we want to use for it and how much we want to collect. The price of this land rent is caused by the supply and demand relationship. We should find a way to solve it from the supply and demand relationship."
“What is the supply and demand relationship?”
Zhu Cixuan took out a piece of white paper and said, "At the beginning of each dynasty, the people only have millions or tens of millions of people. The land is abundant, and the people have their own arable land. The government rewards the land for land opening. Those with more land want to rent out the land. There are fewer people willing to rent it, so the land rent will be reduced to attract the people to farm. The dynasty has stabilized more and more people, and more people want to rent it. There is no increase in the land that can be rented out. In this way, the landlords will naturally rent the land at a higher price. If you don't rent it, they will naturally be willing to rent it, so the rent is so high."
Chongzhen understood a little: "My son means we want to encourage the land reclamation?"
Zhu Cilang shook his head: "The Ming Dynasty's arable land can be fully opened. If you want to change the supply and demand structure, you still need to obtain new land from the South China Sea from the Northeast and other places. The Ming Dynasty's sword must open the way for the Ming Dynasty's plow!"
Chongzhen smiled bitterly: "My son is right, but now there are bandits inside and outside the enemy. The country no longer has the ability to send troops to fight a new war."
Zhu Cixuan just counted as a military household: "Father, this arable land problem can be solved with the escape of military households. The Ming Dynasty has always had a military camp system. Since Yu Ding cannot make a living, why not organize Yu Ding to form a new military camp to send wasteland to them so that they can cultivate it so that the military households can escape and become bandits. Wherever the military households go, isn't it the land of the Ming Dynasty?"
Chongzhen's eyes lit up and asked, "Where did the emperor think he should start?"
Zhu Cixuan gestured and said, "According to the cultivation of new grain, the father should first strengthen the nine-side border defense."
After hearing this, Chongzhen didn't say anything for a long time. Zhu Cilang clearly remembered that Li Zicheng was able to become so big that he could not restrain himself. It was because a large number of soldiers on the Nine-side surrendered, and once the Nine-side reinforcement was successful, it would be difficult for Jiannu to enter the pass and loot.
As for whether to go to the sea or towards the land, it is also necessary to stabilize the basic market.
Zhu Cilang just now stopped Chongzhen's idea of renting land. As for the same sentence, the landlords and gentry classes are still the basic foundation of the Ming Dynasty. As long as these two classes are still stable, the Ming Dynasty will not collapse. Just like the bandits have been sweeping over several provinces, there are indeed very few scholars in it.
When Zhu Cixuan returned to the East Palace, he immediately called Liu Ruoyu: "Old Liu, is there an imperial village in Yongping, Tianjin now?"
Liu Ruoyu was not used to Zhu Cilang calling him, Lao Liu at first, but after hearing it for a long time, he felt kind. He really didn't know the question Zhu Cilang asked, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
Zhu Cilang waved: "Little Wei Zi, go to the internal surveillance to ask if there is an imperial village in Yongping Tianjin."
Xiao Weizi ran away. Zhu Cixuan was about to speak, but stopped again and walked to the table: "Li Ruolian! Come on, send someone to the Zhongtun Guard of Kaiping and the vicinity of the guards in Yongping. He secretly investigated the local coal and iron mining situation. Who is operating the mine factory, how many workers are there, how much output, who is the landlord, and how many days can I get a reply?"
Li Ruolian thought for a while and said, "Five days!"
Zhu Cilang clapped his hands: "Okay! Then send someone to do it!"
Then he turned to Liu Ruoyu and said, "I am interested in participating in the local coal and iron mining and smelting industry. You can find skilled craftsmen and set up a special Huangming Mining. Now you prepare the manpower first and wait for the news to be sent back. I am arranging specific matters."
Zhu Cixuan only found that he had not arranged anything at all. This was not good. After everyone went down, he began to write mining-related regulations.
I was busy until the first half of the night before suddenly remembering that tomorrow seemed to be going to court to listen to the government, so I hurriedly greeted Xiao Weizi: "Little Weizi! What are the memorials sent by heaven here written?"
Xiao Wei bent down and said, "Your Highness, there are too many things, and I haven't seen them either. However, I have asked me to ask about the internal magistrate. The royal family has no royal village in Yongping."
Zhu Cixuan scratched his head: "Take memorials from yesterday and today to see them, and send someone to ask what questions in the court yesterday and the debate was the most intense?"
Xiao Weizi hurriedly went down to ask, the eunuch brought the memorial, and Zhu Ciyang read it one by one, and most of the memorials were asking for relief, where was the bandits? Impeached XX, either to ask for money or food. In short, there were a lot of Chen Zi and Languzi's affairs.
This is also the reason why Zhu Cilang has always been reluctant to participate in the government affairs. These people are too inefficient in their work, they are not good at doing serious things, and they are very capable of doing bad things. Maybe he was worried again after he had the idea. If Chongzhen asked him about these opinions, he would answer.
While thinking, Xiao Weizi hurried over: "Your Highness, I've found out that a few days ago, the emperor asked about Lin Danhan about Mongolian. He heard that Lin Danhan was defeated, so he asked the ministers what countermeasures they had. The ministers quarreled fiercely about this."
Zhu Cilang shook his head speechlessly: "If you have a quarrel in this kind of thing? It must be to surrender Lin Danhan's old subordinates. If you can attract one more enemy, wouldn't it be a group of idiots? What else is there?"
Xiao Weizi thought for a while and said, "There is also the emperor suddenly stopped urging Governor Hong and Governor Lu to eliminate the bandits as soon as possible. The censors impeached the two of them to support the bandits. Someone from the Ministry of War impeached the two of them to fear the enemy. The Ministry of Revenue said that money and food were unsustainable. Oh, by the way, the censors also asked the emperor to issue an edict for guilt..."
