The Ming Dynasty now has overcapacity and the total value of goods has exceeded the total value of currency. Otherwise, it would not be so kind as to rescue the foreign people.
Zhu Youxiao is now increasing the amount of money and distributing money by giving people across the country a three-month holiday, which is indeed in line with the current national conditions.
Therefore, Liu Hongxun and other ministers did not make any objection after hearing this.
Next, Lu Xiangsheng suggested another thing: "Your Majesty, the unrest among the natives in various colonies is especially rampant in India. I believe that it is necessary to send troops to Uzang, station troops in Uzang, and climb over the mountains and go straight down. India, build fortresses and guard them there. Only in this way can India be suppressed by our great Ming Dynasty on land and water from the north and south. Even if the Indian natives gradually become powerful, I will be condescending and they will be easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"The location of Uzang seems to be very important now. It should be used as a garrison! Even if we can not change our customs, we cannot stop garrisoning troops."
Sun Chuanting also agreed.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao agreed: "That makes sense! We should have stationed Ming officers and troops in Uzang long ago before this place can be regarded as the land of the Ming Dynasty. You should immediately discuss the garrison in Uzang and who to send as envoy to Uzang first." In addition, what kind of system will the imperial court and Uszang have to deal with in the future? The bottom line is that the military defense of Uszang must be taken care of by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court! In addition, there is no need to wait for the results of the mission, and troops and horses must be deployed first, and they must be both kind and powerful. "
"yes!"
…
As a result, Ming Dynasty now has another place to use its troops.
For a time, it could be said that the Ming army was present throughout the Eurasian continent.
And the news that the Ming Dynasty used troops in Uzang quickly spread to the people and was discussed.
"The imperial court wants to use troops to hide again?! This is really a constant campaign of conquests everywhere. The national money is not counted, and the lives of the soldiers are regarded as nothing!"
Geng Zhiyuan, who was riding the train into Beijing, took a newly published newspaper and started talking to several of his Shilin friends who were traveling with him.
"Presumably in order to better control India, the Han gentry who moved to India are afraid that it will be difficult for them to be free again in the future."
Gao Zhibi followed suit at this time.
"Hmph! This is the consequence of unfettered monarchy! The war in the Rakshasa Kingdom has not ended yet, and it has just caused a lot of trouble in the Japanese Kingdom, destroying the royal family, forcing them to fight everywhere, and now they are going to Us Hiding trouble! Our Majesty wants to bring peace to the whole world!"
Wang Yiyan followed up.
"Haha! It's not just for profit! Let's talk about the troubles caused in the Japanese country. Now the Japanese shogunate has to sell the railway rights in various places in order to eliminate the rebels in various places in exchange for the guns and ammunition of the dynasty!"
"But it's a pity that all these benefits have gone into government funds, and the people have not enjoyed half of the benefits. They have sacrificed a lot for it. From time to time, they have to worry about Japanese pirates sneaking in and making surprise attacks."
Geng Zhiyuan replied.
"So we need to change the law! The benefits of the world should be shared by everyone, just like the burdens of the world should be borne by everyone in the world."
Gao Zhibi replied.
"It is estimated that there will not be many people coming to Beijing this time to ask His Majesty to reform the law, and it is very likely that it will be the most spectacular event in the history of our Ming Dynasty and even the entire China!"
Geng Zhiyuan then clenched his fists and spoke with excitement.
Gao Zhibi also echoed: "Xu Yuanyi (Xu Qianxue) and Zhang Biyuan (Zhang Ersu) also wrote to me from the capital and told me that they have mobilized many students in the capital and even businessmen. When the time comes, there will be a boycott of classes and a boycott of the market. , go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate together, petition the imperial court, and ask His Majesty to issue an edict for reform!"
"In addition, many foreign students also expressed that they would participate together, saying that since the world is to be unified under the Chinese culture, it should be a method that is conducive to the eternal peace of the world, making scholars the leaders of the four peoples of the world! Give the world freedom! Instead of being like now In this way, craftsmen are more valuable than scholar-bureaucrats! Farmers do not have to pay taxes, as if they have the right to be exempted from taxes, but scholar-bureaucrats and businessmen have no exemptions!"
After hearing this, Geng Zhiyuan nodded excitedly and said: "Now I wish I could grow a pair of wings and fly to the capital immediately! Even if I am suppressed together with my colleagues and turn around and die, I will have no regrets!"
"Read this report quickly!"
"His Majesty actually issued an edict to rest for three months, requiring all people from all over the world to come to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit, and all government services were free. In other words, His Majesty not only knew that we wanted to petition for the reform, but also simply sent all the people to Beijing to pray for the reform. Call everyone to come to the capital!"
"In that case, not only us scholars and businessmen will participate, but many workers, farmers and other foolish men and women in the city and countryside will also participate."
At this time, Wang Yiyan handed over a newspaper and started talking unhappily.
Geng Zhiyuan hurriedly read the newspaper, and then slammed the newspaper on the table: "This is unreasonable! What does the legal reform have to do with the workers and farmers! Do they have few rights and freedoms?! Let them also discuss the reform. , then there will be no change in the world!"
…
"Give way!"
"Give way!"
"Your Majesty is right. Since someone wants to petition for reform, then everyone in the world must participate. Why can't workers and farmers participate? As long as they are a part of the Ming Dynasty, everyone must speak out. This is the rise and fall of the world. , Everyone has the responsibility! Li Gong, do you think what I said is right?!"
Shi Zai, an engineer from the Datong Machinery School, held his suitcase and squeezed into the crowd while turning back from time to time to speak to Li Yuanhui, the technician who was with him.
Li Yuanhui said with a smile: "I have lived for more than seventy years, and this is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing. Your Majesty asked everyone from all over the world to go to Beijing to see him, and to take a three-month hiatus, free of charge by car and boat. ! This is truly an unexpected event. When did the Ming Dynasty become so rich that people all over the world can rest first without having to work, and the court will pay for everything!"
"However, nowadays, there is nothing going on in the factory anyway. The officials in charge of going overseas are looking sad every day. Either they say that the porcelain pots are unsaleable, or that the pressure cookers have to be sold as ordinary pots, and they also say that production must be reduced. Now it's better, they There is no need to frown, Your Majesty will give everyone in the world three months of rest, and many products in the factory will be discontinued as a result!"
"The imperial court is throwing money away. It's because only our Ming Dynasty has all kinds of machines in the world, and other countries don't have them. Even if they do, they get them from our Ming Dynasty. That's why this situation occurs. However, because of this, There are so many people summoned to Beijing! They all come home in time for the New Year."
Shi Zai said.
As historical records say, because of Zhu Youxiao's edict, many people actively came to Beijing.
Especially workers in government-run factories and industrial bases in Tianjin, Jianghan, Jiangnan and other places.
Everyone is not short of money anyway, and they do have high respect for Emperor Tianqi, so naturally they are willing to go to Beijing to take a look.
Some came by boat, some by car, and even some came from outside the customs on horseback.
For a time, all the people in the entire land of China were gathering towards the capital.
…
"We ask the court to change the law immediately!"
"Establish a charter and limit the power of the king!"
"Give local autonomy and return freedom to the people!"
"Streamline the organization, eliminate redundant officials, redundant staff, and redundant workers!"
"It will also benefit the people and reduce government-run and exclusive industries!"
Zhu Youxiao, who appeared in casual clothes in the attic near the Metropolitan Procuratorate, looked at the scholars who had arrived in the capital first and shouted their slogans, and asked: "How many people are there now?"
"There are already more than 20,000 people, and it is still increasing."
Zhu Ciwei replied.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Ignore it for now! You arrange for people to set up special trading stalls in crowded areas inside and outside the city to facilitate people to do business! If there are more people, business will become more active."
"yes!"
