"The first five-year plan of the Chongzhen Year of the Ming Dynasty!"

Chongzhen picked up a pen and wrote a line of words on the paper. This was the work he was going to do.

After finishing writing, I took another piece of paper and wrote the article silently.

The purpose of this article was to gain fame and plot against the founding of slaves, and ultimately as the goal of his struggle with the Ming Dynasty.

After scanning the article, Chongzhen began to annotate the article with his pen.

What is being written now is the final goal and lacks the process. Comments are meant to write out the process.

Educating children means that they are taken care of when they are young, not only to bring them up, but also to make them grow up healthy and happy.

We must establish a correct outlook on life, world view and values.

Learning means teaching, and fairness in education is the starting point of human development.

Where can children be taught, what content is taught, who teaches it, and how it is taught, these all need to be considered. In summary, they are education and culture.

People get paid for their work, and they get paid reasonably and fairly for their hard work.

Instead of unequal and oppressive remuneration, it is summarized as a labor system.

The disease can be cured, and the disease can be cured, the onset of illness can be cured, and the disease can be cured.

The most important point is to reduce the mortality rate of newborns. Neonatal mortality is the main factor causing the population to fail to grow sustainably.

He remembered reading a report saying that the infant mortality rate in ancient times reached 43.82%.

There are many reasons for the high infant mortality rate, such as unprofessional delivery processes, incomplete disinfection, infectious diseases, backward medicine, and most importantly, superstition.

When you are sick, you don’t go to a doctor. Instead, you go to a witch doctor, a divine man, a goddess, a monk, or a Taoist priest.

After writing this, Chongzhen paused. He remembered that Chongzhen in history had seven sons and six daughters, but three sons and four daughters all died young.

This is not true for the royal family, let alone the homes of ordinary people.

I don't know if his arrival will change this ending. Even though he is the emperor now and has many concubines in the harem, it is still unbearable for his children to die young.

But there are exceptions. Zhu Jixuan, the king of Qingcheng in the royal family, had one hundred sons, and they all grew up. The eldest son Zhu Meicheng was granted the title of king of Qingcheng, and the remaining ninety-nine were granted the title of general of the country.

And there was another generation in his lineage that gave birth to seventy people.

These two were so talented that they directly asked the Ming Dynasty clan to modify the clan system and limit the number of princesses and concubines.

"We can send someone to Prince Qingcheng's Mansion to sum up the experience!"

After Chongzhen made a joke, he frowned and took up his pen to write a name - Wu Zhiwang - behind the words "The patient has been cured".

"Big companion, ask Li Ruolian to send someone to find out where Wu Zhiwang is and ask him to come back. I have something to ask him."

"Wu Zhiwang?"

Wang Chengen frowned: "The emperor is talking about Wu Zhiwang, who is known as the Confucian scholar and Confucian doctor in Guanzhong?"

"Yes, where is he now?"

Chongzhen nodded. Wu Zhiwang was a famous medical scientist in the Ming Dynasty, especially good at gynecology.

"Your Majesty, I remember that Sir Wu begged for a break due to illness in August 6th, Bingyin, the sixth year of Tianqi. If there is no accident, he should be in his hometown of Fuguang, Lintong, Shaanxi."

"Immediately arrange for someone to invite him back. Also ask about other famous doctors and invite them back. Please keep it confidential."

"This slave will go find Mr. Li to make arrangements."

Wang Chengen responded and left.

After Wang Chengen left, Chongzhen continued to sketch on the paper. It took more than half an hour to finish annotating the content of the article.

If the ministers were to see the contents of his annotations, they would probably be scorned.

The content involves medical care, education, agriculture, industry, commerce, culture, housing, military, economy, scientific examination system, etc.

Every aspect has an extremely far-reaching plan that looks like a dream.

For example, there are three years of primary school, three years of middle school, and three years of Taixue. According to this calculation, children enter school at the age of seven and complete Taixue, and they become adults at the age of sixteen.

PS: Primary schools existed in ancient times, and Taixue is now a university, but there was no middle school, and students were directly promoted from junior to senior.

But can ordinary people have money to pay for tuition? What about the labor at home? Will the gentry agree? Similar problems need to be solved.

It also involves the revision of books, the establishment of academies and other issues, which cannot be completed in one or two years.

Therefore, what seems to be a beautiful thing is actually a huge project to implement.

And does the enemy give you a chance to implement your plan?

Chongzhen was naturally aware of these problems, and he was not prepared to implement them in one step and according to a five-year plan.

After pondering for a while, Chongzhen began to write on the five-year plan paper.

1. Concentrate efforts on the research of firearms and improve muskets and artillery. In the first year of Chongzhen, the Firearms Research Institute produced 100 red cannons. In the second year of Chongzhen, it produced 300 cannons. By the fifth year of Chongzhen, it must provide 2,000 red cannons. , each cannon is equipped with two hundred shells.

This is the basis for winning over and deterring enemies for the Ming Dynasty. Only when the outside is stable can the inside be transformed.

2. The people had enough food and clothing, and enough money. In the first year of Chongzhen, the fields in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Beizhili were cleared and distributed to the people in the three places.

In the second year of Chongzhen, three places in Henan, Huguang, and Jiangxi were surveyed and the fields were divided... At the end of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the world was owned by the people.

3. Rectify the army, completely abolish the guard station system, recruitment system, etc., and fully adopt a professional route.

4. Adjust the tax system to follow the progress of land distribution.

In the first year of Chongzhen, the land tax reached 280,000 shi, in the second year of Chongzhen, it reached 32 million shi, and in the fifth year of Chongzhen, it reached 50 million shi.

5. Establish the Daming Industrial Research Institute, Medical Research Institute, Military Academy, etc.

six……

Every time Chongzhen finished writing an article, he would sketch some content on other pieces of paper, and then summarize it on the five-year plan paper.

It was not until lunch that Chongzhen finally put down his pen, rubbed his sore right hand, and then drank a cup of hot tea, and then took a long breath.

After watching it again, Chongzhen completely relaxed.

The ten items in the first five-year plan all focus on improving national strength, stabilizing the people, and increasing state treasury revenue.

Things like education, medical care, imperial examinations, etc. were all placed in the second five-year plan.

These things are not something that can only be achieved by having money and power, but require a complete change of the system from top to bottom.

Changes in the upper and lower systems will definitely touch the interests of all strata, and will be blocked at all levels.

Either don't do it, or do it all at once.

Just like squeezing out toothpaste, reforming and improving the system at the same time requires a lot of energy, but the end result will definitely be different.

If this five-year plan can be completed, the Ming Dynasty will not only be able to regain its strength, but at least it will have enough ability to solve any problems it faces.

Most of these ten tasks have a goal, and he also has some ideas in mind.

But how to implement it specifically and who is responsible still needs to convene the cabinet and the six ministries to discuss and perfect the details.

If you want all these ten tasks to be promoted, you will need the support of tens of millions of dollars and a strong army to deter them.

Fortunately, the 26th Guards has already begun to reorganize. It is estimated that once the details of the five-year plan are completed, the reorganization will be almost completed.

Coupled with the fact that the British minister Zhang Weixian has already turned to him, the implementation problem is not big.

All that's left is to make money, and making money also has goals.

"When the martial arts competition is over, it will be time to deal with the eight major Shanxi merchants. I hope you can have more property."
