Chapter 259 The real art of slaying the dragon! Agrarian revolution!
"Also, there is one more thing."
Zhu Yunxuan continued to lecture: "Although Ming Dynasty is rich now."
"The treasury is full."
"But every penny of the money must be spent wisely! Nothing can be wasted!"
"Don't think that as life gets better, you can enjoy it or relax your vigilance!"
Peaceful days are always associated with decay and depravity.
But today's Ming Dynasty is far from the time to enjoy it. In the upcoming unprecedented changes, the only way is to keep your head down and move forward diligently.
Otherwise, if you have too many peaceful days, you will inevitably lose your fighting spirit.
Even if they know that there are infinite treasures overseas, the wealthy and wealthy class who are already satisfied will not have the motivation to look for them.
This is why Zhu Yunxuan devoted himself to cultivating a new class.
Because the powerful class is inherently corrupt and degenerate, and has no motivation for innovation.
On the contrary, it is the capitalists who are obsessed with profit, and as a new class, they do not have power, and they even want to fight with the powerful.
Have an enterprising spirit!
"The money from the treasury is all arranged, so don't worry about it."
"In addition to building national highways, the Ministry of Revenue will send another sum of money to Songjiang Prefecture to allocate it to Jiangnan Shipyard and the Magic City for shipbuilding and the construction of the Magic City."
"We must not let the construction of the Magic City slow down."
Zhu Yunzhen arranged everything in place.
Then he said: "Let's go here for the morning."
"Retreat from the court."
The ministers knelt down and bowed before slowly exiting the Fengtian Hall.
Only then did Zhu Yunxuan relax. Today's morning meeting was not easy for him. Today's Ming Dynasty had too many directions that required his attention.
It is not enough to just focus on development and economy.
Thoughts, systems, knowledge, economy, military... almost every item needs improvement in Zhu Yunxun's opinion.
But there are so many threads, there has to be a thread.
Hammering here and there, you will get nothing in the end.
Zhu Yunzhen sat in the Fengtian Hall, silently thinking about his plan, checking for gaps and filling in the gaps, and constantly deducing.
I want to find that thread.
"It's true that when the book is used, it will be less regretful..."
Zhu Yunxuan suddenly felt regretful that he had not taken the Mao Zedong course seriously at the university.
I just didn’t think it was of much use, so I only got a score of 70 or 80, thinking that it would be enough to pass.
Looking back now, this is the real dragon slaying technique!
But there was no use regretting now. Zhu Yunzhen could only recall as much as possible, and then analyze the current situation using the dragon-slaying skills he had learned superficially.
Today's Ming Dynasty seems to be prosperous.
But in fact, everything is missing.
Although the national treasury is no longer short of money, there is no use putting money in the treasury.
Only by circulating it can we create more wealth!
This can be seen from the continuous emphasis on domestic demand in later generations and the continuous reduction of interest rates in an attempt to stimulate consumption and make money flow.
Zhu Yunxuan must also use all the money in the treasury.
At the same time, although the national treasury is not short of money, the people of Ming Dynasty are short of money!
Now the people of the Ming Dynasty are far from wealthy, and can even be said to be poor!
It is already good if there is food stored at home.
Not to mention the spare assets, as a result, the Ming Dynasty's economy will naturally be lifeless and lifeless.
Secondly.
Ming Dynasty is short of labor! Very short!
People are needed for farming, and people are needed for road construction. When the Bureau of Technology Research and Manufacturing comes up with new gadgets and opens factories, people will be needed even more!
Labor must not be restricted to the land!
Must be liberated!
After understanding what Ming Dynasty's top priority was now, Zhu Yunxu had an idea in his mind.
The next step is to get more money, a lot of money.
Then it is distributed to the people and the landlords and gentry, so that the people can become rich and have more sufficient consumption power, and by the way, new capitalists can be cultivated.
Let Ming enter a virtuous circle.
Secondly, it is to liberate the labor force and allow more people to enter the labor market.
Rather than being tied to the fields or being a slave in the mansion of a powerful family.
There is also the need to develop new armies as much as possible, dismantle old armies, abolish the guard system, and let the soldiers in these guard posts become the new labor force.
By then, with the strength of the new army, the Ming Dynasty would not need so many soldiers at all.
According to statistics, today's Ming Dynasty has a total of 10,652,870 households, with a total of 60,545,812 people.
Plus some gangsters.
Zhu Yunzhen estimated that there should be about 65 million people.
And now the Ming Dynasty's army numbers 1.91 million, and they are all laborers in their prime!
Of the 1.91 million troops, the five major battalions of the Jingshi alone accounted for 200,000.
For ancient times, two million troops was not a large number. After all, the Song Dynasty boasted 800,000 forbidden troops, and every vassal town in the Tang Dynasty had tens of thousands of troops stationed there.
But for Zhu Yunxuan, the number of this army was slightly larger.
After all, with a population of more than one billion in later generations, the total number of troops was only more than two million, which was only one-tenth to one-twentieth of the current Hongwu Dynasty.
Taking up too much labor force!
These are excellent labor forces!
"It seems that military technology research and development cannot be stopped..."
Zhu Yunzhen planned to continue to let the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau build new weapons and improve the quality as much as possible, instead of relying on mindless accumulation of numbers to maintain the army's combat effectiveness.
In this way, the old army can be continuously eliminated.
Reduce the number of the army to about one million, releasing nearly one million young and strong labor force!
However, this needs to be done slowly, and these downsized troops must be properly placed. Otherwise, once these young and strong troops are eliminated, there will be no suitable job arrangements.
Huge chaos will surely arise.
Zhu Yunzhen is not so stupid as to cause trouble for himself.
After a long time of thinking.
Chapter completed!
