At this point in the Heroes Meeting, it has basically turned into Zhu Heji’s personal political meeting!
This is inevitable... Zhu Heji was not only knowledgeable and capable, but also experienced the tremendous changes in China after the reform and opening up. Of course he knew the importance of education.
We also know that a relatively even starting line, coupled with a relatively clear and protected property rights system, and a certain amount of official property, will greatly promote economic development and industrialization.
Of course, a colonial empire is also very important for local economic development and industrialization. After all, the top industry in the world is the "zero dollar purchase" industry!
Compared with Zhu Heji, everyone in this hall, including Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi, Yan Yuan, Wan Sitong, Wan Sida and other great Confucian scholars, had only seen "Heaven's Fall", "National Collapse" and Great Confucianism. The Qing Dynasty's various foolhardy efforts never saw real construction and development.
And they don’t know how prosperous the international zero-dollar purchase industry is in this era!
Zhu Heji's eyes swept around the Ruiqing Hall, taking in all the faces of surprise, doubt, admiration... and expressions of emotion and anger, and then he began to continue his work. political opinion presentation.
Zhu Heji said: "The second strategy of China's thousand-year foundation is to equalize land rights!"
"Isn't equalizing land rights just equalizing land?" Wu Yingxiong snorted, "We have been doing it for a long time."
"It was done right!" Zhu Heji praised the correct line of Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong's regime. "Land annexation has always been a stubborn disease that is difficult to cure in all dynasties, and it was also the same in the Ming Dynasty! However, it is difficult to cure, which does not mean that it will be cured. We are all dead. Those of us who are starting our careers still have to find a way to cure it!
To cure the stubborn problem of land annexation, it is best to start prescribing the right medicine at the beginning of the establishment of the country. Usually, in the early days of the country, there were fewer people and more land, so it was easier to implement the method of equalizing the land. Moreover, when a dynasty was first established, often after years of chaos, the world's population suffered heavy losses, and not even a single one of the original wealthy families remained... So most of the land in the world was actually ' Ownerless'. Even if some people are planting and others are occupying, these people do not have land deeds. We are all starting to farm, and we are confident. "
The matter of land equalization will hit private ownership of property to a certain extent. This is a struggle against human nature!
"In addition, the entrepreneurial monarchs and ministers in the early days of the country were more efficient in doing things, and their orders were smooth and unimpeded. Therefore, the methods of equalizing land, limiting land, and equalizing taxes could be implemented."
Zhu Heji paused, and then said: "But just equalizing and limiting land without leaving enough land rights for the country is not conducive to long-term development. Therefore, the equal land rights of a single family must not only equalize the current land. , and the largest share of the increase in land rights should be left to the future court. In this way, the future court will not be faced with the dilemma of insufficient annual income.
Specifically, part of it is equalized, and part left... The land that is all sold out is far away from the famous city of Dayi, has little room for appreciation in the future, and is not under the eyes of the court and government, making it difficult to control the land.
The remaining land should be concentrated in the famous cities of Dayi and its surroundings, which can be used to expand cities and develop industry and commerce in the future. In this way, future countries will be able to obtain the rights and interests of land value appreciation. There will be enough financial resources to benefit the people! "
To put it bluntly, this trick is "land finance"!
At first glance, it may not seem very "correct", but in fact not only did China's great development in later generations depend on this hand, but even the great development of the United States was inseparable from the "magic of the land" - the Americans built railways and dug canals. Even in the construction of national post roads, "land magic" was used. When developing the Great Western Region, we also used the strategy of releasing land in exchange for immigrants.
In order to build railways, governments at all levels in the United States have successively issued hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land to railway companies!
Such a big deal... I can only say that the Chosen Country back then was really a big business!
"The third strategy to establish the foundation of China for thousands of years is to establish the Celestial Dynasty!" Zhu Heji then threw out his third strategy without reservation.
"Establishing a celestial dynasty?"
"Third grandson, the Ming Dynasty is known as the Celestial Dynasty!"
Questions immediately arose.
Zhu Heji smiled coldly and replied: "The celestial dynasty that Gujia refers to is not the loose dynasty before. If you want to pay tribute, you can come, and if you don't want to come, you can overthrow... The king is not the king, and the minister is not the subject. It’s such a waste of etiquette! Moreover, there are many foreign vassals that fool us as fools and give us worthless things in exchange for rewards. Such a dynasty only has a name, but no real benefits. The sect cannot restrain the vassal, The vassal can't protect the sect either. The sects and vassals are just trying to deceive each other. This is absolutely unacceptable!
And now the vassals of the Ming Dynasty have either left without paying tribute, or been destroyed by the Western barbarians who invaded from the east... Java, Malacca, and Luzon have all been reduced to colonial possessions of the Western Barbarians, Korea has been reduced to the possession of Qingyao, Ryukyu How could it be achieved by being occupied by Japan?
Most of these vassal states had few people, vast land, abundant products, and were located on the east-west routes. These are all places reserved by God for the future of China. How can they all be owned by foreign barbarians and eastern barbarians? "
It turns out that what Zhu Heji wanted to establish was not a Celestial Dynasty at all, but a colonial empire disguised as a Celestial Dynasty.
In today's world, the most profitable industry is overseas zero-dollar purchases!
Moreover, colonies can also specialize in involution. If used properly, it can extend the life of the dynasty and resolve the periodic law to a certain extent.
...
"A big school, an equal land rights, a celestial dynasty... This is a wise ruler! Ying Xiong, Ying Qi, Guogui, if I am no longer here one day, can you be his opponent? ?”
In a side hall of Qintian Ruiqing Palace, Wu Sangui, who had just had dinner and was drinking tea with his two biological sons and the same appearance, suddenly asked a very difficult question to answer.
"Dad, he can talk a lot now, but as long as we can take Beijing before him...the methods he is talking about now will be our strategy for governing the country in the future!"
It was his godson Wu Guogui who suggested Wu Sangui seize Beijing. Wu Guogui had been the vanguard since Wu Sangui raised his army. This time he was ordered to come to Jiugong Mountain from Xiangyang Prefecture. Because he has been stationed in Xiangyang, he has a relatively good understanding of the situation in Henan. Now the main force of the Qing army is concentrated in Anhui and Jiangsu. There are not many troops in Henan. Although there is Yue Le, he does not have enough troops. What can he do?
"No!" Wu Yingqi immediately shook his head and said, "Now Kangxi has concentrated his army in Anhui and Jiangsu, making it clear that he will fight Zhu Heji to the death. We should wait and see the success or failure, and wait until they are both hurt before sending troops to the Northern Expedition! Only in this way can we get twice the result with half the effort and easily defeat Beijing. If we invade Henan now, Kangxi will most likely withdraw his troops and go north to fight us. Then Zhu Heke will get a big advantage. If we cannot win Henan and Zhu Heke takes Jiangnan lightly, then my family's general situation will be gone. .”
"Dad," Wu Yingxiong smiled coldly and said, "Who do you think has a greater chance of winning in this battle in Jiangnan?"
"Then you still need to ask?" Wu Sangui said, "Of course it's Zhu Heji... He should have a 70% chance of winning, and Kangxi has a 30% chance of winning at most."
Wu Yingxiong gritted his teeth and said: "The only one who competes with our family for the world is Zhu Heji! Father, handsome... this is the world! We must never lose!"
Wu Sangui looked at his son: "Ying Xiong, do you mean to start at Jiugong Mountain?"
Wu Yingxiong was startled by the old man's words and shook his head hastily: "Zhu Heji must be on guard... His son's suggestion is to wait until the fierce battle between Zhu Heji and Kangxi is in full swing, then send troops to sneak attack Jiangxi and hit him from both sides. Then take advantage of its defeat and seize Nanjing in one fell swoop, taking possession of all of Jiangnan. With Jiangnan in hand, it would be easy to conquer the Central Plains and unify the world, wouldn't it be easy?"
Wu Sangui frowned and just murmured: "Let me think about it again, and I must think about it carefully... If I make one wrong step, my Wu family will be doomed!"
