October is the beginning of farm slack and also the beginning of winter.
A year's harvest was taken away by the common people, and they were tangled up on the road and suffered from hunger.
But the reality is that those with a little wealth can leave, while those who are poor can only stay in the local area and serve the remaining people.
However, having to look after their homes and fields a lot can also help them live a little more.
The cabinet issued a strict order that Huai'an Prefecture must relocate 70% of the people. This is the bottom line.
However, although this decree caused a lot of complaints, it also achieved some unexpected benefits.
For example, hundreds of thousands of unemployed laborers.
The moment Beijing was captured, water transportation to the south was interrupted. Coupled with the Manchu invasion of the south, the flow of goods was also interrupted.
"Not bad!" After hearing the cabinet report, Zhu Yixi was naturally satisfied: "This has killed two birds with one stone and saved countless people!"
Zhao Shu smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, although Caobang has a public bank, it has been unable to make ends meet for many days, and countless people have lost their families. This migration comes at the right time."
"Caobang!"
Caobang, who lived because of the canal, was instantly choked and struggled hard.
At this time, the task of relocating people appeared, which gave them a sigh of relief.
The imperial court rented tens of thousands of boats and boatmen from Caobang at the cost of two shi of grain per boat per month, solving transportation difficulties for the migration of millions of people.
Although it is said to be a gang and has all kinds of bad habits, according to Zhu Yixi's understanding, this is just a last resort method for the workers to protect themselves, similar to a labor union.
The plow workers were not good at dealing with the government, and at the same time they often encountered difficulties and were in danger. The court was too lazy to manage so many ordinary people, and was afraid that they would gather to cause trouble and rebel.
Therefore, Caobang came into being.
The emperor murmured and began to think.
Logically speaking, if we consider Jianghu gangs, the Cao Gang is the largest gang in Chinese history, and it is also a gang recognized and controlled by the imperial court.
During the Yongzheng period, the embarrassing semi-gray status ended and he officially came ashore.
"Your Majesty, the Yangtze River Navy is not short of men."
When he heard about money, Yan Chongxin immediately responded: "With thousands of ships and more than 20,000 people, the Yangtze River Navy is already the best in the world. If we recruit more people, the plywood will not be able to stand."
"I'm not talking about the Yangtze River Navy."
For the six hundred years of the canal, Caobang played the most important role.
"Since the Cao Gang has too much free time, let's recruit some people to the Navy!"
The emperor suddenly spoke.
"Furthermore, if we have a maritime navy, we can save a lot of time from Songjiang Prefecture to Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and other places."
Zhao Shu nodded slightly, cupped his hands and said, "There is no wiser person than Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Zhang Shenyan hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
The emperor shook his head and looked at the nervous look on his face. He chuckled and said, "I'm talking about the Donghai Navy."
The reason why it is said to be the East China Sea instead of the Bohai Sea is naturally to make it easier for people to understand and to keep a low profile.
So, the emperor said seriously: "During the Jiajing period, Japanese pirates could reach Nanjing City directly. Now, although the sea is peaceful, everything must be prepared in advance."
Once the Donghai Navy is established, officials, generals, sailors, ships, bases, and water docks, which one does not cost money?
Grain donation/s At this moment when the war was about to begin, Yan Chongxin really didn't want to spend money randomly.
However, two people in the cabinet had already nodded, and he could only agree reluctantly.
Yan Chongxin on the side could only reluctantly agree.
In other words, this is not only a matter of the canal work, but also the establishment of the Donghai Navy.
You must know that all previous naval forces were affiliated with the Yangtze River Navy, whether it was the Yangtze River, lakes, or the sea.
The Ordnance Factory is a military factory along the Yangtze River.
Among them, there are bedding factory, leather boot factory, steel factory, artillery factory, musket factory, gunpowder factory, hand bomb factory, belt factory, hat collar factory, ration factory, wood factory, helmet factory, armor factory and a series of other things about the army. factory.
Even the triangular scarf, the latest feature of the Ming army, was set up in a red scarf factory, where hundreds of female workers worked.
"very good!"
The emperor nodded with satisfaction. This cabinet meeting went very smoothly.
In the afternoon, Zhu Yixi left the palace and came to the ordnance factory in a good mood.
However, these can only be maintained on a daily basis. When it comes time to expand the army, Nanjing's business will receive a large number of orders.
For example, military uniforms, leather boots, and bicycle frames for this military expansion need to be purchased from the private sector, which has contributed to the prosperity of the market.
Zhu Yixi came to this military industrial park semi-publicly, showing the importance he attached to it.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation for the army are all included.
It can be said that there are more than tens of thousands of workers working in these military factories every day, and tens of thousands of jobs have been added.
With job opportunities provided, food security guaranteed, and food prices low, Nanjing naturally became more stable.
In fact, it is not modest to say that he can't even compare with Emperor Zhengde. He has at least commanded a large battle involving more than 100,000 people.
However, as a later man, he deeply understood that commanding ability was not the decisive factor on the battlefield.
Military training, military discipline, food and clothing security, military obedience, and the replacement of weapons account for at least half of the factors.
Riding on his horse, the emperor looked at the black smoke covering the sky and the hundreds of blast furnaces. He couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
No matter what era, the most cutting-edge technology is often in the hands of the military.
Zhu Yixi has led troops for many years, but he knows himself. He is not a famous general, and he cannot compare with the famous generals of ancient times.
"How is the progress of the armor now?"
The emperor skipped the blast furnace. At present, steel made little progress, so he stopped heating the fire.
"Cotton armor is very slow to make, and the tortoise shell you want is too crude. The south is humid, so now more paper armor is produced."
From the beginning of Xi'an's epidemic prevention army, Zhu Yixi has always emphasized military discipline and paid out wages on time.
He paid out the salary with his own hands for almost two years and never refused to do it to others.
The Military Justice Department has always been presided over by close associates and monitored daily.
"Very good!" The emperor nodded and strode to the gunpowder factory.
The proposal of a reasonable gunpowder formula, coupled with the granulation of gunpowder and the quantification of gunpowder, made the importance of gunpowder factories more and more prominent.
In the case of the same red-coated artillery, the one with better gunpowder will naturally win.
Mr. Wang Xi is still as strong as ever, leaning on his crutches, his gray beard trembling slightly.
Zhu Yixi was naturally not stingy with this outstanding old man. The position of Viscount was enough to keep his family wealthy for three generations.
"The south is humid, there is a lot of rain, and the paper armor is stained with water. Although it is heavier, it is stronger."
An inch long, an inch strong.
Ming Dynasty has outstanding advantages.
