This year, the Ming Dynasty was very busy.

The army was busy fighting against Qin, taking over Qingzhou, defeating Huzhu, defeating the last army that the King of Qin had gathered with all his strength, and finally encircling Yongdu and overcoming the entire Qin State was already visible.

After taking over the entire Qin State, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was more than doubled. The territory of Qin State was much larger than the original Ming Dynasty. Although many places were deserted and uninhabited, they were still strongly owned by the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, these places could be completely utilized for Qin Feng. Who said that those places could not grow crops to support people? Then we have to see what they planted? Who was operating them!

The merchants of the Ming Dynasty were very busy. His Majesty the Emperor said, "No farming is not stable, no business is not rich, no farming is the foundation, and business is the minions." This greatly elevated the status of merchants. Now in the Ming Dynasty, the status of merchants is gradually increasing. They traveled around the world and created huge wealth. The income of the Ming Dynasty now comes from the income from the business tax.

In the visible future, business income will increase significantly, and the commercial tax that the country can receive will also increase significantly. In this way, Qin Feng can make more drastic measures to reduce the burden on the farmers. Although the taxes borne by the farmers in the Ming Dynasty are no longer high, in Qin Feng's view, there is still room for further reduction.

The merchants not only created huge wealth, but they are also one of the most favorable minions to unify the world in the Ming Dynasty. Often before the army arrived, the traces of merchants were first appeared. They sold goods and earned money. They drew maps to provide the Ming Dynasty with the most detailed geographical maps where they went. They spread the wealth and happiness of the Ming Dynasty. They used their wealth to lure merchants from other countries, joined this network of profit-seeking, and then used it for the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, the most typical representative is the Ming Dynasty Changlong Bank. This private bank has now become the supreme weapon for the Ming Dynasty to control the Chu State. The role of money is sometimes sharper than the army, and it moistens things silently and unknowingly erodes the strength of the enemy country. It seems inconspicuous bit by bit, but it is hollowing out the enemy country at an extremely fast speed. A bank confidentiality law even penetrates the Qi State, which was originally very cautious about the Ming Dynasty, into pieces.

Emperor Qi was increasing the crackdown on domestic aristocratic families. While these aristocratic families who were best at cunning rabbits were desperately fighting against the emperor, they began to transfer a large amount of wealth to the Ming Dynasty. With these actions, the Ming Dynasty cleverly penetrated its power into Qi State quietly.

These infiltrations, relying on the power of these aristocratic families, even the ghosts of Qi were beyond reach.

Now it is rumored that His Majesty the Ming Dynasty will open the ban on sea, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are even more excited. Anyone with a certain identity knows that maritime trade is a profitable business. In the past, there was no capital or a way out, but now, there is the force of the country leading the way. As long as you can join in, why worry about making money every day?

Although the decree has not been issued yet, the big merchants who learned the news in advance have begun to sharpen their heads and rush around, hoping to extend their pace overseas.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty were very busy. In just a few years of the rise of the Ming Dynasty, they swept the forefront with their extremely sharp military power and accepted the territory of the forefront. The reform of the former Minister of Personnel Wang Hou was like a big broom, sweeping all the officials who did not meet the interests of the Ming Dynasty into the garbage dump, and never let them become an obstacle to the Ming Dynasty's great stride. But after sweeping through it, they suddenly found that the number of officials was too small, and in some places it was even too small to hinder the normal operation of the place. This required an official to do the work of several people, so busy that he couldn't fix the ground, but he was happy.

The crash courses of the Beijing University of Technology were held one after another, and batches of quick-successful officials were quickly sent to the local area. Qin Feng did not want every official to be an all-rounder, as long as they had specialties in a certain aspect, they could win the position he held. Qin Feng hoped that the commanding officials who could grasp the overall situation would be selected from these officials in the future. The waves were gold, and in places like the Ming Dynasty, they would never be flooded with sand.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty were desperately trying to contribute to the development of the Ming Dynasty, but their growth rate was obviously unable to keep up with the expansion of the Ming Dynasty. The incorporation of Qin State made the official gap that the Ming Dynasty had just eased was once again short of, even even more so.

Fang Dazhi, the Minister of Personnel, was in a mess. Too many official hats in his hands are not a good thing.

The farmers in the Ming Dynasty were also very busy. They planted spring, grew summer, harvested autumn, and stored winter. Throughout the year, they worked hard. Everyone felt that they had caught up with the best era and had the best emperor. The low taxes of farmers were considered unprecedented in the eyes of those old people who lived long enough. Even the most famous kings in history were not as good as they are now.

If you need to hand in less, you will get more. If you get more, you will naturally become rich. With money in your pocket, you will naturally get better and you will dress more decently. In the countryside and fields, the thin-skinned children are gone, and they are fat and blushed. Men and women are full of energy. In the Ming Dynasty, where there is no nightlife, their most activity is to work hard to have more children. There are many children and blessings, which is the experience passed down by the older generation. I was afraid that I could not support them when I was born, but now I don’t have this worry at all.

In the city and the countryside, you can hear the sound of reading everywhere. The most common ones are the dolls carrying a cloth bag running on the way to school. At least they have to graduate from elementary school and then continue to study smartly. Those who do not have this talent, either go to farm or become apprentices, are not considered blind.

If you can understand the government’s announcements and calculate the money, in the eyes of ordinary people, you are already a scholar. Moreover, it is not a good idea to go to primary school. Only when you go to higher-level schools will you charge a certain fee.

The saints are in this world! This is the simplest reflection of the farmers.

The various kinds of corvee labor that they feared most in the past no longer existed. In the past Ming Dynasty, sometimes corvee labor was a horrible thing that could make a well-off family go bankrupt in a blink of an eye. But now, no matter what the government needs to do, they have to honestly take out money and hire people to do it.

Now there is no such thing as slack farmer in the Ming Dynasty. In previous years, the government immediately hired a large number of people to build roads, bridges, water conservancy, etc., without having to waste food at home, you can get cash every day. Who wouldn't want to do such a good thing? What's more, building roads, bridges, and water conservancy is beneficial to them without any harm. The government paid for the construction of the construction, but they were the ones who benefited.

If you want to be rich, build roads first. According to legend, this sentence comes from the golden sentence in the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor, and has now become the motto of many local officials. When you take up your position, the first thing you have to do is to build roads.

The farmers in the Ming Dynasty felt that they had fallen into a honey pot now, and their whole body was filled with a sweet fragrance from the inside out.

The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were very busy. Farmers were the foundation, merchants were the minions, and workers were the confidants. The improvement of the status of craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty far exceeded that of other industries. The most typical one was that a large number of masters who had achieved success had become officials. Although they were too few when wearing official robes, they were still busy on the front line in their own straight cloth gowns most of the time, no matter what grand events or banquets there were, the local officials in charge would never forget them. It was also one of the few times they could wear formal official robes and appear in many occasions to welcome and see off. In the past, their identity was qualified to chat and laugh with these people and eat at the same table, but now, no matter where they went, these people would bow to them with respect.

The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were using their hands to truly change the country of the Ming Dynasty. With the strong support of Qin Feng, the emperor who attaches great importance to craftsmen, inventing and improving craftsmanship has become a trend among the lieutenant of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. As long as you excel in a certain industry, you can reach the top in one step.

If you want to be good at craftsmanship, you must first sharpen your tools. Every craft improvement or improvement and the emergence of every new invention will push the Ming Dynasty forward and gain more output with less labor and material resources. Now workshops spread all over the Ming Dynasty have spared no effort in the fight between craftsmen, and their income is rising at an incredible rate. A master who has made achievements can now receive no less than the first-rank master of the dynasty, and this is still priceless. A workshop with these craftsmen will never let these treasures be poached.

In the Ming Dynasty, studying and becoming an official was no longer the only way for a carp to jump over the dragon gate.

The entire Ming Dynasty was very busy, even those new places and new people that had just been incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In the shortest time, after they figured out the basic policies of the Ming Dynasty, they were blinded by great joy. Happiness came a little unreal, making them feel as if they were dreaming. After the joy, there was an incomparable power filled the body, and they wished they could immediately throw their arms and open up a big fight, using their own hands to fight for a happy and beautiful life for themselves and their families.

The Ming Dynasty in winter is like a huge construction site, with various projects being built everywhere. Because now there is sufficient labor for the government to hire.

This kind of busyness lasted until the New Year. But for the Ming Dynasty, the annual leave is only seven days, and then you have to devote yourself to the new year.
