Two years later...

These two years were completely considered two years of rapid development for the Ming Dynasty, and also an indispensable two years.

In the north, the civil war between Watshu was still continuing. The former dominant Watshu is now like the sunset in dusk. Many young men of Watshu died on the battlefield. The power of several major tribes quickly weakened. Tuotuobuhua also wanted to end the battle as soon as possible, but the current situation did not allow this at all, and it was impossible to ask him to give up his power. So the battle was still stalemate, and he also sent people to the Ming Dynasty to send troops to help him, but they were all rejected by the Ming Dynasty for various reasons. Although Emperor Jingtai is now willing to expand, according to what Jiang Lang said, it is not the time. When the time is ripe, the Ming Dynasty will definitely make a big splash.

However, the expansion of the Ming Dynasty did not stop. Taking advantage of the civil strife of Wats, the city of the Ming Dynasty was constantly built towards the interior of Wats, and at the same time welcomed a large number of Wats, and then carried out assimilation, encouraged intermarriage, and gave them very generous conditions to make the Watss, who originally made a living by nomads, gradually got used to settling down. On the land of the Ming Dynasty, they could raise cattle and sheep. At the same time, while raising these two livestock, they could not only reduce part of the taxes for the court, but also have a good income. No matter how much, it was more stable and rich than the rule of Tutuobuhua. Of course, the most important thing is that

One thing is that there is no war here. Although there are Ming garrisons in every city, these garrisons have strict discipline. The most important point is that disturbing the people is strictly prohibited, and transactions must be fair. Of course, in order to increase the intimacy of these people, soldiers in each city will take the initiative to come out to help the herdsmen in need, repair houses on the road, and the smallest smallest medical doctors regularly give free medical treatment to herdsmen, and this medicinal material only charges a small cost. In addition, helping those lonely and widowed people wash laundry and cook is also a daily task for some officers and soldiers... In two years, these herdsmen have deeply understood what peace is and what military loves the people.

These methods were all taken by Jianglang. Unlike other countries, Wats are not forcibly conquered, so it is not a big role to maintain stability here. Moreover, these people are all Wats. Although they are willing to accept the rule of the Ming Dynasty, they still have the blood of the grassland in their hearts. Therefore, Jianglang asked the court to implement all the people-friendly policies, hoping that the soldiers and the people will have a completely relative relationship like the original society, so as to maintain the stability of the overall situation. Of course, those small chaos also exists, and these require the government to come forward. For cases that occur, these officials are required to enforce the law impartially and strictly prohibit private bias. They will send secret envoys to verify every once in a while. Moreover, those who are favored for personal gain will also be punished. In addition to dismissing their posts and investigating them, they will also be exiled to the army, etc. Therefore, these officials are also trembling and cautious.

As for Gao Qiang, the small fishing boats at that time have now become the largest military port. Tens of thousands of permanent soldiers are still stationed here, and nearly a hundred naval warships stationed here. In two years, more than six of these warships have become new three-masted warships, equipped with powerful firepower. In addition to the original artillery, some warships are also equipped with new artillery. As the domestic military industry is gradually maturing, Jiang Lang naturally cannot not implement the original ideas in his heart. If the time is not ripe, Jiang Lang would have wanted to carry out an industrial revolution and let the Ming Dynasty run into the industrial era. Of course, the major reason for the development of these is the talents. It is a complete joke to let a group of people who read the Four Books and Five Classics carry out the industrial revolution. Moreover, the concepts accumulated over the past few thousand years are not changed by changing. Therefore, Jiang Lang can only slowly let the court start to cultivate some professional talents.

Moreover, the soldiers stationed here were well prepared even more than those in the country of the Ming Dynasty, including those on the warships, and more than 5,000 people were equipped with new rifles and artillery. In addition, the first thing the court considered when changing clothes was high and strong, these soldiers who were thorny.

Because of this, Gao Qiang dared not act rashly for these 100,000 soldiers, and at the same time he was considered cautious. If the Ming Dynasty was going to attack, within a few days, the Ming soldiers could completely capture the entire Gao Qiang. After all, for Gao Qiang, regardless of the number of soldiers and equipment, they were much worse.

The warships stationed at Gaoqiang were still carrying out this escort work and charged a certain amount. Gaoqiang originally thought that the sea was calm, so many merchants privately began to refuse the Ming warships to escort, but they encountered Komu Army not long after going out to sea, so they had to pay for the Ming warships to escort again.

Of course, Jiang Lang also took advantage of this to let the navy soldiers train well, after all, most of the battles will be on the sea in the future.

There have also been huge changes in the country in two years.

The new policy encourages farming, and many barren mountains have been opened up as land, but the reclamation has been recognized by the government, so this environmental problem cannot be messed up. Due to the increase in people's enthusiasm for farming, in the first year, due to the reduction of taxes, the people's homes gradually had some surplus grain. In the second year, with the first year of experience, the output has been greatly improved. Although it is not rich, it is not too difficult for the people to ensure that their stomachs are not hungry. Moreover, for those poor places, the tax is even lower. According to Jianglang, everyone in the Ming Dynasty had white rice.

At the same time, Jianglang did not forget to use the knowledge in his original memory to send people to America and other places, because later corn, sweet potato, potato, etc. were all because Columbus discovered the American continent and then was successively led to other countries. The purpose of Jianglang ships was not to steal the merits of Columbus in later generations, but to introduce these crops to solve the food crops of the people of Ming Dynasty.

The fleet sent out did not disappoint Jiang Lang's high hopes. He exchanged the silk, porcelain and other things he brought with him for a large amount of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes. After all, these are common things in the local area, while silk from the far east is very luxurious or very exquisite things. This kind of transaction is completely cost-effective for them.

When they set off, Jianglang told them the importance of their purpose this time. Therefore, they also specifically asked the locals to preserve these things in this way. The dried corn has nothing to do with it. As long as there is no water, it can be preserved for a long time. The only troublesome thing is potatoes and sweet potatoes. With the silk and exquisite porcelain of the Ming Dynasty, the locals are also very enthusiastic about these oriental guests. Although they can't speak, they still told them to plant these crops through gestures and other means. At the same time, they also asked them to taste the snacks and food made from these things.

A few months later, the fleet returned to the Ming Dynasty and brought back nearly a dozen ships of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes. After the ministers of the court tasted the made food in person, the only obstacle to the promotion of these crops was gone. So potatoes and corn were still promoted near the capital, while sweet potatoes began to be promoted in the south. The planting places were mainly for dry land. After all, paddy fields must ensure the cultivation of rice and wheat.

In order to dispel the doubts of the people, all the people who plant these crops were exempted from the taxes of the year, and they promised to recycle all the crops at that time. After all, no one dared to take risks for these new varieties of crops. After the first year of harvest, the court fulfilled its promise, took back most of the corn and potatoes, and then began to promote them in other places, and the same was true for sweet potatoes. The people gradually gained awareness of these three things, not only could they eat them, but the yield was not low. Adding some when cooking rice not only could save rice, but the rice was also more delicious. This was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and the court added the tax exemption policy of the court. The area of ​​planting suddenly began to increase. Seeing this, the court also abolished the tax exemption policy of these three crops in the third year, but the people were not disgusted by it. Now the taxes on agriculture are very low.

For merchants, the court vigorously encouraged business. In two years, the business of the Ming Dynasty had unprecedented development. With taxes reduced, the merchants were willing to make their business bigger and stronger. The benefits brought were naturally the increase in national tax revenue. In addition, this also made great progress in foreign trade, earning back a large amount of money for the Ming Dynasty and also stimulated the production of domestic workshops. Although it was only a very short period of two years, for merchants, it was a tremendous two years.

As the army has rich, the military pay has increased, and if it performs well in the army, the family can be exempted from taxes, so these soldiers are all practicing hard.

For the entire Ming Dynasty, it is now gradually embarking on the road of enriching the country and strengthening the army.
