Be careful, walking on thin ice.

Zhu Jinsong has finally understood the meaning of these idioms and is indeed easy to build a country, but in the face of all the messy problems throughout the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jinsong has indeed realized the difficulty of governing a country.

There is no way to solve the problem of insufficient Ding’s mouth. You can only rely on time to make the population grow slowly. When it reaches a certain level, you have to find ways to suppress excessive growth rates and artificially make the population grow slow down to avoid insufficient resources.

Some people may say that if you lack resources, you will be brave enough to rob it. This will not be able to solve the problem of insufficient resources, and at the same time, you can also consume the existing population through war, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

However, this theory is really just a theoretically feasible war at any national level, and it is by no means possible to fight.

Especially for the current Ming Dynasty court, fighting is actually a very unpaid thing.

On the surface, war will inevitably expand territory and allow the Ming Dynasty to have enough resource reserves, and even in the future, they can deal with the problem of population outbreak.

But in fact, the mobilization of troops before the war, logistics mobilization, war mobilization, post-war disposal, pension, reconstruction, etc. are almost all places to spend money.

The wealth and resources of the entire country are quantitative. As long as a war occurs, it means that some of the resources and resources are consumed.

The country has been moving forward, and its overall resources and wealth have been growing?

Yes, this theory is not wrong, and it can even solve some gaps in the form of bonds when wealth is insufficient.

However, the country also needs to complete various constructions, whether it is the dredging of rivers in various places, the construction and repair of bridges and roads, and the construction of schools at all levels, all aspects require resources and money.

War means that people occupy a part of the resources and wealth in other places.

This involves the concept of war potential.

For example, the Qing Dynasty.

Before the Qing Dynasty was completely dissipated, no one in other countries on the entire Little Breaking Ball dared to underestimate the Qing Dynasty. The Dutch East India Company had to be careful when it was doing some miserable incidents in Batavia, for fear of angering the Qing Dynasty.

However, the final facts proved that the Qing Dynasty was just a hot little chicken with just a prettier appearance. Facing the Europa country like England at that time, it was like a swollen fat man facing several thin men with muscles all over the body.

The former is indeed quite intimidating, but the flesh on his body is very weak, which is not as good as those Europa countries that look thin but have muscles all over their body.

Not even as good as the short-lived.

This is the gap in the war potential between the two. When other countries are advancing the industrialization process, while the Qing Dynasty chose to close the country, the war potential between the two is countless times different.

A sufficient population is a kind of war potential, but war potential is not just a matter of population.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Jinsong has stopped abnormally recently. Not only did he not use troops everywhere, but he once again turned his attention to the interior of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, provoking all European countries to start filming is a matter of beating rabbits. If you have dates or not, you can hit two shots. If you succeed, you will have many benefits. If you fail, you will not have any bad impact on the Ming Dynasty.

After a while of silence, Zhu Jinsong bent his finger and knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Let's put the problem of insufficient number of Ding's mouth aside for the time being, let's talk about other issues now."

Zeng Cheng said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I think the most important thing to solve now is that there are a large number of repeated construction problems in the five small industries and other workshops."

After Zeng Cheng said this, Zhu Jinsong suddenly felt that the tendons on his forehead were jumping around. Five small industries refer to five kinds of workshops, namely small steel, small coal mine, small machinery, small cement, and small fertilizers.

Among the Ming Dynasty's small industry, small machinery is actually in its infancy, and the products in small fertilizers are also quite single, not to mention the other small industries. After all, there are not coal mines everywhere, and it is not suitable for iron and steel making everywhere.

But who has said that no matter how small the problem is, once multiplied by the huge base of 1.3 billion, it will become a big problem.

Now the Ming Dynasty version of the five small industries is facing similar situations. Including Liaodong, Nurkandus, Jiaozhi, Myanmar, Siam, Laogang, Lanfang and other places, the Ming Dynasty has nearly 2,000 counties. Some of the more than 2,000 counties have complete five small industries, and most of the remaining only have workshops with one to three small industries.

Even so, this is a pretty amazing number.

What's even more terrible is that the Ming Dynasty has not only the workshops of the five small industries, but also a lot of other messy workshops.

For example, in Shandong Provincial Administration and the Ministry of Justice, there is an average of one winery in every county, such as in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, there is an average of one textile workshop in every two or three counties. For example, the Ministry of Justice, there is a tea-related workshop in Mongolia Provincial Administration and the Ministry of Justice, which is even more amazing. Various canned workshops are blooming everywhere.

Now, the number of workshops owned by other countries in the entire small ball is added together, and it may not be as large as the number of workshops in the Ming Dynasty.

The leader of the Mongolian Administrator's Office even dared to openly clamor, saying that the Mongolian Administrator's Office's canned production is expected to exceed the entire European canned production within ten years.

Of course, this kind of nonsense is basically enough to listen to it, but Qiancheng canned production technology has just been introduced from the Ming Dynasty to Europe. The canned workshop of the Mongolian Administrator has been produced for several years in advance. Isn’t this a bully?

But no matter what, it is impossible to change a painful thing after all, that is, there have always been a lot of repeated construction problems in various workshops in the Ming Dynasty.

If the population is over, repeated construction is not without benefits. For example, if the work of two people was originally left to three people, it not only solved the problem of jobs, but also increased the production capacity, which can be regarded as a killing of multiple goals in one fell swoop.

However, in the case of extremely short population, this problem of repeated construction makes the problem of serious shortage of workers more obvious.

But no matter how Zhu Jinsong had a headache, Zeng Cheng continued: "Your Majesty, I think it's time for rectification in the five small industries or other workshops in various places."

Zhu Jinsong nodded and asked, "How is the rectification that Zeng Qing mentioned?"

Zeng Cheng said carefully: "I think that although the flowers blooming everywhere are beneficial, it is also the source of the shortage of the number of Dingkou today."

"In addition, there are various workshops everywhere, which also cause overcapacity to a certain extent. For example, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, almost every county has candle workshops. Originally, the output of a province was enough to supply the demand of the entire Ming Dynasty. Now several provinces are producing candles, which has made the price of candles unable to rise, and overseas countries cannot afford such a large output, so the price of candles has never risen."

"In addition, some places are not suitable for developing a certain type of small workshop. For example, the Jiangxi Provincial Administration and the Ministry of Revenue is not suitable for setting up a canned workshop. However, under the request of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue, there are also a large number of canned workshops in the Jiangxi Provincial Administration and the Ministry of Revenue. The canned workshops produced by these canned workshops are actually not as good as the canned foods of the Mongolia Provincial Administration and the coastal provincial administration and the provincial administrative departments."

After listening to Zeng Cheng's opinion, Zhu Jinsong nodded, and then slowly bent his fingers and tapped the table and the waste caused by repeated construction of the workshop is inevitable. In the future, it is also inevitable to merge slowly, and it is also inevitable to improve efficiency and competitiveness.

However, the merger of a large number of workshops actually means the advancement of urbanization. The advancement of urbanization will bring about a lot of problems such as the need to give up the land and the concentration of a large number of people in one place, etc., which will lead to a lot of messy problems such as left-behind elderly and children, real estate, etc.

Are these messy problems easy to solve? They are not easy to solve.

Is it OK to not solve it? No.

Let all kinds of workshops be allowed to be rebuilt and continue to maintain the status quo? Or not.

Just make up your mind and start promoting the process of urbanization and sacrifice a generation in exchange for a better future? This approach is not bad, but Zhu Jinsong is unwilling to do so.

Whether it is said to be both deceitful and stable or indecisive, Zhu Jinsong is actually unwilling to accept this practice from the bottom of his heart.

Tiexi goes west and west, a handful of melon seeds will be... Qu's mother is a good mother, but what about the people in the Northeast?

Besides, all regions have developed five small industries and vigorously built various workshops. This is also the tone set by the Ming Dynasty court at the beginning, and it is also easy to change the tone. However, the people cannot take on everything just because the court wants to change the tone.

However, before Zhu Jinsong could figure out how to solve the problem of repeated construction of underground shops in various places, Liu Huaiwen spoke again.

Liu Huaiwen said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, last year, there were many expenditures in the national treasury, such as the construction of medical clinics in various places. I think it can be slowed down? After all, there were many medical clinics among the people, and the people did not have any places to see a doctor. Now the imperial court has built a large number of medical clinics. Isn't this a scramble for business with those civilian clinics?"

"I won't say much about universities and prefectures, but the elementary school, social school, and county school are not allowed to open up directly and allow private construction? Otherwise, the little money in our treasury would be..."

However, before Liu Huaiwen finished speaking, Zhu Jinsong waved his hand and said, "That's impossible."

Some holes can be opened, but some holes must not be opened.

For example, elementary school, social school, and county school.

Once the elementary school, social education, county education and other things are relaxed, and the people are allowed to run their own elementary school, social education, and county education. Those who are capable of running will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to recruit better teachers, and even compete with the county education run by the government officials.

Once this happens, the consequences will be obvious.

The people will try every means to let their children enter the primary schools, social schools, and county schools founded by the people, and then they will slowly create so-called school district houses, aristocratic schools and other messy things.

What's even more serious is that once this hole is released, the capital that will never be full will try every means to reach out to other places.

For example, reach out to the prefectures and universities, and slowly reach out to the court.

For example, the past is related to people's livelihood.

Heshen and the Lord once said a famous saying, "Save the people first, and he needs those officials to do their jobs for him." This is a real fallacy, because Pixiu will never be filled, and they will only try every means to eat more things.

For example, the dishes transported by the cold chain throughout the whole process were rotten...

Not enough feeding?

No, they have already been fed enough, but they will never be full and will never be satisfied. This is the root of the problem.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Jinsong cannot let go of these holes.

The same goes for clinics.

The Ming Dynasty court is now spending money to build a clinic with all his life. It seems to be competing for business with the private clinics, and it is already a real "competing for profit with the people". However, if there is no such competition for profit with the people, what will happen to those clinics be based on their own conscience.

For example, a doctor with particularly skilled medical skills will become more and more famous as his reputation becomes more and more high? Can those high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen monopolize the medical resources of this doctor?

So the question is, what should other people do?

Therefore, things related to people's livelihood such as education, medical care, transportation, infrastructure, etc. can only be firmly controlled by the government. It is not completely prohibited to participate in the private sector, but private participation can only be used as a supplement and auxiliary, and they cannot be the main force.

This is actually a problem of two and two, two and one.

How to solve this problem? It is a typical difference between capital and the model of the great court. It is similar to the Song Dynasty. It can buy all the projects that can be bought, and even taxes can be bought. This is the route of the small court and the big capital. Just like the Ming Dynasty today, it holds all the projects that concern people's livelihood in its hands. This is the model of the great court.

The difference between the two modes can actually be seen from the Qing Dynasty and Ermao.

For example, in the twenty years before the Qing Dynasty, Zuo Zongtang could carry a coffin to a certain border, and he could buy the plague in the Northeast the year before the death. Ermao's officers and soldiers could not defeat it, and most countries that broke the ball were repeatedly ravaged by a large flu.

This is the different results brought about by different routes.
