Emperor Chongzhen finally made a good trip. With the company of his two little wives and son and daughter, he rarely put aside the mess of government affairs and wars and had a good time to visit Nanjing City.

Duke Xu Hongji of Wei planned to travel with him, but Emperor Chongzhen despised Xu Hongji for being old and ugly, and that face was still an iconic old face inside and outside Nanjing, so he refused.

I haven't been to Nanjing for a few years. In fact, no one in Nanjing still remembers what Emperor Chongzhen looks like. When I saw Emperor Chongzhen's family traveling, I think it was at most that the rich people in the north came to have fun.

Before leaving Nanjing, Emperor Chongzhen went to worship Xiaoling with great fanfare and reported his work to Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that the Ming Empire was booming under his leadership, and it was a bit like a rising star, so that Comrade Zhu would continue to bless him and continue to bless the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen also stated that as long as Comrade Lao Zhu blessed, he would bring back the heads of the chief of the known barbarian country on earth in the next 20 or 30 years and give it to Comrade Lao Zhu as a gift, so that the old man would also have fun together.

The Nanjing Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor, who was accompanying him, and Zhang Xianyong, the leader of Taoism who had just arrived from Longhu Mountain, said that Emperor Taizu Gao had received the work report from Emperor Chongzhen and was very satisfied with Emperor Chongzhen's work performance. He hoped that Emperor Chongzhen would be cautious of arrogance and impetuousness, continue to work hard, and strive to turn the entire earth into a pigpen of the old Zhu family...

Nothing made Emperor Chongzhen happier than his own work. With self-deception, Emperor Chongzhen left Nanjing with his two little wives and son and daughter.

The things that Emperor Chongzhen's favorite wife, Concubine Yi, bought in Nanjing City.

According to Concubine Yi, she had finally come out and had to buy more things and take them back for the queen and other concubines. As for Jiang Ling'er's newcomer, she wouldn't have to spend money without her own money.

Then Emperor Chongzhen summed up a truth: women are not divided into ancient and modern times, and buying is their eternal pursuit.

Fortunately, there are no Taobao or Goudong these days, otherwise there would be couriers delivering goods every day at the gate of the palace, so it would be awkward to think about it.

Emperor Chongzhen's route back to Beijing was completely random. He just left Nanjing and headed straight for Hangzhou. He naturally had to look at the Broken Bridge, and naturally he had to look at the West Lake. By the way, he also looked at the ** Tower.

The iron lock that locked the tower gate naturally did not exist in front of the king. After walking around inside, Emperor Chongzhen could not find any trace of Bai Snake.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was extremely disappointed, finally let the Jinyiwei catch a white snake and then release the white snake himself. Will there be a charming little lady coming to me to repay my kindness in thousands of years?

Concubine Yi and Jiang Ling'er were very strange about Emperor Chongzhen's actions. After hearing the story of "The Legend of the New White Snake" from Emperor Chongzhen's mouth, Concubine Yi told Emperor Chongzhen firmly: "Sure enough, he is unfaithful and often reader! Xu Xian seemed infatuated, but he ignored his children and went to Jinshan Temple to become a monk. This was a sign of incompetence and looked down upon him."

After agreeing with Concubine Yi's opinion, Jiang Ling'er proposed a new idea: "If there was no Zen Master Fahai, what should I do after Xu Xian died? Will Bai Snake abandon the idea of ​​becoming an immortal and take care of his children?"

Emperor Chongzhen was suddenly one head and two big.

If you ask me about such a bad thing, how can I answer? I am not a screenwriter!

Due to the law that two women equal five hundred ducks, Emperor Chongzhen decided to change the topic. So on a dark and windy night, Emperor Chongzhen hugged Concubine Yi on the left and Jiang Ling'er on the right, telling them the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Then, it was naturally an absurd night. As powerful as Emperor Chongzhen, he couldn't help but beat his old waist the next day, sighing that there were no broken ground, only exhausted cows. The ancients really didn't bully me.

Emperor Chongzhen ran back to Beijing with his two little wives, son and daughter, and a group of gangsters. He waved his clothes and did not take away a cloud, but left the stories of "The Legend of the New White Snake" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" in West Lake.

After arriving at Daming Lake, Emperor Chongzhen waited for a long time but did not wait for Xia Yuhe on the shore of Daming Lake. He felt a sense of melancholy in his heart.

I am so handsome and an emperor, why doesn’t there be a girl who is rushing to throw herself into her arms? Those Jiannu who have rat tails are so popular? There are people who travel through time and send their tyrants through time, some people who go to the door to drive their children to the door, and some people who are stubborn and obsessed after being played with and abandoned. Why does it disappear when I get to my place?

That's his mother!

However, it doesn’t matter if there is no girl who takes the initiative to give it to you. There are still foods in Shandong that can be tasted, especially Emperor Chongzhen, who grew up in Shandong in his previous life, who always couldn’t resist the temptation of Shandong’s food.

The only thing that made Emperor Chongzhen not very satisfied was that during a private visit, he found that there were a lot of green skins in Jinan City.

In other words, not only Jinan City, but also Shandong has a lot of green skins. These guys always pay attention to the loyalty of the world, and occasionally bring out some advice on how to act for heaven. It is simply a replica of Water Margin.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had seen too many green skins along the way, suddenly became very dissatisfied.

Naturally, no one in the common people is willing to provoke these green skins. After all, they don’t touch the tough stones. These green hairs are all brave and cruel scumbags. It is common to draw their swords at a disagreement, and they can’t argue with them.

The powerful and powerful naturally look down on these green skins, and the green skins are also very eye-catching. They never provoke those who are powerful and powerful, and they specifically bully those honest people.

This is not possible. The people must be bullied, but I can only bully them, because if I collect taxes from them, it means I have collected their protection fees. Now these young girls want to collect the second one from the people. Isn’t that slap themselves in the face?

Emperor Chongzhen, who was in a bad mood, was not in the mood to travel slowly. He said goodbye to Xia Yuhe, who did not exist by the Daming Lake, and then drove back to Beijing.

There is no airtight wall in the world, especially Zhang Zhiji and Lu Xiangsheng have a very good relationship, and Emperor Chongzhen did not deliberately order the confidentiality, so the news that Emperor Chongzhen was unhappy was soon revealed to the cabinet.

As soon as the cabinet knew about it, the eight departments of the court would know it, and then the governors and governors of various provinces would know it.

As the saying goes, the king's fortune should be used to share his worries, and the censors in the court were the first to jump out.

After a long period of nonsense, Luo Junchen, the Censor, turned the topic to the right track: "I inspected Hebei, Shandong, Henan, and Shanxi a few days ago, and the administration of officials was still Qingming, but the people's green wits disturb the people are endless. We should be ordered to strictly govern the government."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and turned his eyes to Lu Xiangsheng: "What do you think Lu Aiqing?"

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said, "I call your Majesty. I think this matter should be too early to late, and it should be too heavy to light."

Emperor Chongzhen hummed again and said, "What if there is any wronged?"

Lu Xiangsheng gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I would rather be ruthless than let go! Only by knocking out all these green skins at once can we effectively shock those who are ill-behaved, and in the future, we can help the people with a bright blue sky once and for all!"

After saying that, Lu Xiangsheng was silent for a while before continuing: "This should be the case for the officialdom. Now it is the 25th year of Chongzhen. The Beijing Inspection Commission next year is about to start again. It is better to act together and completely eliminate the illegal officials who serve as the backing of Qingpi."

When Lu Xiangsheng finished speaking, a large number of civil and military officials began to jump out together, expressing their agreement with Lu Xiangsheng's view, which made Emperor Chongzhen feel very confused.

Accomplices, the officials below who are not accomplices with you at least, but now you actually look like you hate them for not dying?

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen could not figure out why.

However, since he couldn't figure it out, Emperor Chongzhen was too lazy to think about it, so he simply ordered: "The cabinet will give it a note and instruct the second-level reserve garrison stations in various places to cooperate, with the chief minister of Dali Temple as the main minister, and the second son of the emperor Zhu Cilang as the deputy."

After Lu Xiangsheng bowed and replied, he continued: "I will report to Your Majesty that the cabinet has discussed the plan for the 26th to the 30th year of Chongzhen in conjunction with the eight ministries."

Hearing that the sixth five-year plan had been released, Emperor Chongzhen was immediately interested: "Tell me, where is the focus?"

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said, "I will start to report to Your Majesty. The focus is still on building roads, including roads that pass carriages and pedestrians, as well as railways, followed by bridges and embankments in various places.

Since the overhaul of the roads in various places in the second year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty has completed the construction of more than 100,000 miles of railways, and the roads between more than 200 prefectures and prefectures. The total mileage with straight roads is about 200,000 miles, consuming about one and a million workers, and the relevant expenses have been compiled.

From the 26th to the 30th year of Chongzhen, it is expected that the railway construction of 150,000 miles and the road reconstruction between 300 states will be completed, and the straight roads will be rebuilt, as well as the standard."

Lu Xiangsheng didn't say how much it cost, but Emperor Chongzhen could guess even if he guessed.

One million workers, calculated at the cost of five taels of silver per worker, is as high as eight million and five million taels for just one worker.

The problem is that these workers are just purchasing prices, and because of the war, the workers' food and clothing costs, the materials spent on road construction, and the wages of the people of the Ming Dynasty, these costs are countless times greater than those of the workers.

If there is no idea about tens of millions of taels of silver or hundreds of millions of taels, think about a big fat chicken for only 26 cents, two cents of rice per pound, and one tael of silver equals one thousand cents, and just convert it in proportion.

If it were the people of Ming Dynasty to build it, the expenses that needed to be paid were probably more likely to be paid after the corvee service was completely abolished. If the governments in various places wanted the people of Ming Dynasty to work, they would have to pay their wages in real time.

It can be said that many of Emperor Chongzhen's policies made his throne extremely stable, and the people of the world would support him from the bottom of their hearts, but at the same time they also brought countless troubles to themselves.

At least, Yang Erxiu didn't pay the wages to repair the canal...

Fortunately, these roads were basically paved with the bones of alien races and silver.

After the Ming Dynasty started the arms and blessing and longevity cream trade under the leadership of Emperor Chongzhen, a large amount of silver flowed into the Ming treasury from the world, and then it was used by the treasury to build roads and provide welfare to the people.

This is the dividend brought by a strong national strength and a large population base. Even now is not the time for the demographic dividend to break out.

The country has a strong national strength and a large population base, which means that a country is strong enough, which means that Emperor Chongzhen can pass on all the costs of this change to other countries and nations.

In fact, even Emperor Chongzhen himself did not know what kind of changes would bring to the Ming Dynasty when twenty or thirty years passed and the day he got old, the population of the Ming Dynasty ushered in a big explosion.

There is an old saying in the Central Plains that you should admit your mistakes and be beaten to be attentive. Emperor Chongzhen is glad that there was no Virgin in this era, and no one would mention human rights and the oil of the Netherworld.

Emperor Chongzhen was even more grateful that the people of the Ming Empire firmly believed that the Ming Empire itself was a lighthouse, and no one thought that other countries were lighthouses...

After nodding with a smile, Emperor Chongzhen said, "What? If it is just like this, it is still a bit insufficient."

Lu Xiangsheng bowed and said, "In addition to these, from the 26th year of Chongzhen to the 30th year of Chongzhen, 50 million treasure notes will be invested in the construction of social sciences, and 10 million treasure notes will be invested in the construction of provincial schools and prefecture schools in various places, and 50 million treasure notes will be invested in the construction of universities.

In addition, from the 26th to the 30th year of Chongzhen, it is expected to approve 300 million guan of treasure banknotes for military expenditure to be used for the replacement of the military funds and weapons of the soldiers in various places, and 200 million guan of treasure banknotes are expected to be used for the reserve plan."

After all, it was in the court, Lu Xiangsheng did not say it nakedly to take 200 million guan Baobao money to go out for war, at least he wanted some face.

Emperor Chongzhen also nodded secretly because the ratio is actually almost the same.

Road construction is definitely a national policy that cannot be shaken for a hundred years. Only when the railway and highway are fully built will these two projects be stopped.

There are still many places that do not belong to the Ming Dynasty, such as a large part of the Mughals, the entire Ottoman Empire and most of Europe.

These places will definitely need railways in the future. How can there be enough time to build highways without a hundred or eighty years?

As for the ratio of education and military expenditure, it seems that military expenditure is much more than education, but in fact, this ratio is probably within a reasonable range.

The biggest reason is that the territory of the Ming Dynasty was too large and there were too many soldiers, so the costs that needed to be borne were increased accordingly.

After more than 20 years of construction of social sciences, it is almost done. The ones that really require a lot of expenses are the provincial and provincial schools, namely junior high schools and high schools.

As for universities, it is not that urgent, after all, the population has not really begun to explode.
Chapter completed!
