For ordinary people, as long as they can have a meal or a peaceful time, they will be very satisfied and praise "Long live wisdom".

Many emperors from all dynasties were satisfied with this and were very proud of being able to leave their names in history and becoming wise and benevolent.

But Zhu Youxiao had higher pursuits and believed that the people should have a better life. The standards for later generations would definitely not be met, but at the level of eating well, can’t they be able to eat better?

What can be done, of course, depends on the level of the emperor, the ability of the government, and the intelligence and hard work of all the people.

Even if the emperor does nothing from now on, the achievements he has achieved are enough to be proud and proud.

He defeated Jianlu, so that the inheritance of China could continue;

He built a navy, defeated the Dutch ghost, and would dominate the South China Sea;

He armed the most powerful army and occupied a large tract of land that was not in the Chinese territory in history;

He formulated and implemented a fruitful disaster relief plan. The disasters during the Little Ice Age can no longer shake the rule of the Ming Dynasty...

But this did not satisfy him and made him stop moving forward. The reason was very simple, because he knew that the most humiliating era in China was the kind of pain of losing power and humiliating the country, and displaced wars.

Regardless of whether the descendants were prodigal sons or not, Zhu Youxiao had to do his best to save more wealth for the Ming Dynasty. Of course, what is more important is to recast the spirit of the Ming people.

Only the spirit of pioneering and enterprising, brave and fearlessness is the fundamental to support the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. Only by solidifying the national policy as much as possible and allowing all classes of the Ming Dynasty to taste the benefits can it be maintained for a long time.

For example, aggression and expansion, immigration and colonization, advocating science, and attaching importance to industry and commerce...

There are almost no objection in the court at present, and the real benefits are there!

If you dare to say "fight for profit with the people" and reduce commercial taxes, then you can find a way to support the army and provide disaster relief. Increase agricultural taxes. If you dare to make this suggestion in the year of major disasters, do you have to force the people to rebel?

What's more, nowadays, merchants are basically separated from officials, so they don't have to deal with things everywhere, do business well and make money, and don't have to spend money to find any spokespersons.

As for the cliché of "missing military and cunning military" it is not worth refuting in the face of the numbers of the gains of war.

No matter how I criticized the emperor's policy in the past, now, I don't say I admire him or have no reason to oppose him. Facts have proved that the emperor's far-sighted vision is not something you guys can understand.

Therefore, in addition to supreme imperial power, the emperor's prestige also has the practice and results that are constantly proven to be correct.

Because of this, the emperor has to do a lot now, but he doesn't have to overwork. He has his subordinates to implement his will and push the Ming Dynasty to the peak step by step.

In fact, for the ministers, the emperor certainly has a cruel side, but overall, he is not a tyrant. In such a political environment, if you work hard, don’t be greedy or traitor, your future will still be bright.

The emperor also had a sense of responsibility and did not make any major moves in the field of ideology and consciousness.

How could the traditional cultural thoughts of thousands of years be so easy to change? To change is much more difficult than the current political and military reforms, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as earthquakes.

Subtly, the emperor prefers to use this method, starting from basic education, guiding cultural and public opinion, and using it to create a new ideological system that adapts to the world in 20 or 30 years.

Being pragmatic is what the emperor advocates, not only internally but externally.

What is the peace and prosperity of the country and the peace of the people, is far less happy than the people who have enough food and clothing;

What is the Celestial Kingdom or the Ten Thousand Kingdoms come to the court, it is better to occupy the army and actually participate in the territory of the Ming Dynasty and make the emperor happy.

The Songhua River is rolling, hazy mist rises, condenses into small ice crystals, hanging on the trees on the shore, forming a wonder called Wusong.

"Sir, in the middle of winter, the downstream is generally not frozen." A guide from a crowded man humbly introduced to Zhang Pan, "But further north, the river surface is frozen."

Zhang Pan slightly turned his head, turned his horse's head, and continued to observe and patrol along the banks of Songhua River.

This is Songyuan in later generations, located on the south bank of the main stream of the Songhua River. It has no name yet, so it can only be called the ancient Fuyu Kingdom (the capital Changchun).

Build a city here next year and you will be able to advance to Shangjing the year after year. Zhang Pan looked at the foggy scenery on the shore and planned to advance northward.

"There are rivers and rivers here, and there are many squashings, so you can cultivate and livestock." Zhang Pan raised his whip and said, "Although the climate is cold, it can be cultivated and developed."

The Manren guide nodded repeatedly and said, "What the adults see is very much. If we were cultivated in the past, rice and wheat would probably have a bad harvest or no grains. But we have cold-resistant crops, and these two types of rye and potatoes are enough."

After pausing, he added: "In addition, if you want to shed cattle and sheep, it will be similar."

"There are many lakes and squash, so fishery has been developed." Zhang Pan smiled and said, "If you do your work well and move here to settle down, the court's policies are quite preferential."

The guide accompanied the smile and assured: "Lord Leng Sengji has mobilized 500 households to be the first batch of immigrants to the beginning of next spring."

Zhang Pan smiled and said, "The army will also come up to help them cultivate and build villages and build houses."

Leng Sengji has become a Manchu minister who is on par with Nara Zhongming. With his cunning and charming style, the emperor is very optimistic.

Jilin Prefecture continues to expand, and it will be very likely to be upgraded to a province for another one or two years. At that time, Leng Sengji will be at least below the governor, and will be even more likely to enter Beijing to become an official, and will be on par with Zaisanbuhe as a Manchu.

Nara Zhongming, however, developed well in the army and was already the deputy general. He led a mixed cavalry unit of Manchu and Han dynasties stationed in Dunhua, Yanji and Hunchun areas.

Almost three years have passed, and the people have gone from panic to peace, from being watched by hatred to gradually calm down.

The emperor's strategy of governing Manchus was relatively successful. Leng Sengji, Nara Zhongming and others made great efforts to appease the subordinates and suppress the wrongdoing. They should be gentle and should be gentle and shocked, ensuring the stability of Liaodong.

Like the princes and princes of Mongolian tribes, the emperor was also stingy to grant officials and rewards to these loyal and dedicated Manchus.

Even the emperor treated the Koreans who fled to Liaodong, turning them into Ming people and part of the Northeast.

To govern a multi-ethnic country, you should have such a mind and courage.

Although the emperor formulated many rules, such as learning Chinese characters and speaking Chinese, living in separate villages, naturalization assessments, oaths, etc., for these people, being accepted is already a great blessing.
