Ten, twenty years from now?
Zhu Zhanji stared, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
The problem is not twenty years from now, but whose future is, the future of Ming Dynasty or the future of Yan State. If we talk about it separately, will it give people the illusion of separation and make Zhu Wenkui mistakenly believe that Yan is independent from the Ming Dynasty instead of being subordinate to the Ming Dynasty.
Out of caution, Zhu Zhanji said: "Ten or twenty years, I really thought about it. At present, the Ming Dynasty has no other places, Uzang in the southwest..."
Zhu Wenkui raised his hand and interrupted Zhu Zhanji: "Tell me about your future."
Seeing that Zhu Wenkui was serious, Zhu Zhanji knew that there were not many opportunities for the two of them to talk openly, so he simply said: "I have sketched out the feudal country ten years from now. From the completely barbaric land, I have carved out two fortresses in the south of the Yangtze River. Crops are planted on both sides of the bank. Some people are working on water ditches, some are looking up at the blue sky, and some are enjoying the shade under the grass..."
"There are warehouses full of food and cereals, there are laughter and laughter, children can recite poems and songs, merchants come from the distant Ming Dynasty, we trade goods, ships are full of ports, sails and sun and moon flags are fluttering in the wind... "
"At that time, when grandpa is old, my father will come out to take care of things, and I will also take on the heavy responsibility and plan everything in the feudal country. There are not indigenous people there. The emperor said that those indigenous people are also yellow-skinned people, unlike the black-skinned people in Africa. People with white skin in the West are not different from people with white skin in the West, but more like us Central Plains people.”
"So my plan is to assimilate these natives into Ming people, learn Ming writing, wear Ming clothes, master Ming technology, and make them an important force in the feudal country. In ten years
In the future, the population there should ideally reach 80,000 to 100,000, and in 20 years, there will be 200,000..."
Population expansion is the key to the construction of a feudal country. In addition to natural births, the population growth here is mainly about "drawing in" more indigenous people to join, as well as the population brought by future ultra-far voyage trade.
Zhu Zhanji was talking about the future Yan Kingdom. Zhu Wenkui nodded repeatedly and looked at Zhu Zhanji in front of him. Although he was still young, he was a very independent and thoughtful person. If he was given a piece of cake now, he would not be able to achieve great things. .
My father said that it is not the most important thing in the future whether America will listen to Ming's missions and orders. As long as Ming's culture and fire can stay on that land, it will be Ming's victory.
This is understandable. Korea and the former Annan Kingdom were all countries in the Central Plains cultural circle. Whether it was systems, laws, etiquette, or even writing, they all imitated or directly used the Central Plains dynasty.
The recognition of culture made North Korea more inclined to submit to the Ming Dynasty. The existence of cultural foundation also allowed the Ming Dynasty to better transform Annan into Jiaozhi County. The foundation is in culture, and if you lay the foundation of culture, everything will be easy in the future.
Zhu Zhanji has a clear mind. Although some of his outlines and imagination are not clear enough, he already has a general direction and understands the focus of what he will do in the future.
Zhu Wenkui smiled and looked at Zhu Zhanji who was talking eloquently. If he wanted to do something, how could he lag behind?
What will the Ming Dynasty be like ten or twenty years from now?
Imagining the future of the Ming Dynasty is a very troublesome thing. The future of the Ming Dynasty is not as easy to outline as the future of the Yan Kingdom. The Yan Kingdom gradually started from nothing, let alone the future.
….
In ten years, that is, in the next thirty years, their core task is to build, whether it is building houses, cities, ports, ditches, reclamation and farming, felling trees...
Their future is based on the progress of construction, but the future of the Ming Dynasty is not like this. After the development of the 31st year of the Hongwu Dynasty and the 12th year of the Jianwen Dynasty, the foundation of the Ming Dynasty has been firmly laid at present. Civil engineering projects It cannot be said to be the core, only a part.
The Ming Dynasty is about construction. Railway planning, concrete planning, primary industrial infrastructure construction, iron ship fleet, etc. are all construction issues. Although these can be predicted, they are by no means representative of the entire Ming Dynasty.
Ming Dynasty is too huge and there are too many things to deal with.
In Zhu Wenkui's view, the most important task for the court in the next ten years is to completely solve the problem of people not having enough to eat.
Although my father, after more than ten years of rule,
Reason, the Ming Dynasty's national power is booming, but the situation reported by local governments is very real. In any prefecture or county, there are certain poor people. People in places suitable for farming are better off and can have enough to eat, but in some mountainous areas, there are The people are still hungry. Some families have become poor because they have lost their labor, and they can't even afford to eat.
Zhu Wenkui hopes that in the next ten years, at least the people of the Ming Dynasty will be able to have enough to eat, so that people will not starve to death because of the slightest disaster.
But this is just governance, not the future of governance.
What makes Zhu Wenkui feel a little unpredictable the most is the technology of the Imperial College and the Second Artillery Bureau.
I heard from my father that the Imperial College is already studying the issue of electricity.
As for how long it will take to manufacture batteries, research electrical energy, and bring electrical energy to the world, it depends on the efforts of the Imperial College.
Zhu Wenkui longed for the world that his father had said, a world where night was like day, a world driven by electric energy, an era that was far superior to the steam engine era.
However, ten years may not be expected, it may take twenty years, or even longer!
Technology is something that continues from generation to generation and cannot be rushed.
I long for the twenty-year Ming Dynasty, a prosperous age as my father wishes!
"Then, let's make an agreement."
Zhu Wenkui looked at Zhu Zhanji, stretched out his right hand, and said seriously: "We have agreed to meet again in twenty years. By then, may you have a powerful feudal state, and may we have a prosperous Ming Dynasty!"
"good!"
Zhu Zhanji stretched out his right hand and held Zhu Wenkui's hand tightly: "We have made a twenty-year agreement. By then, I will come back to see you!"
Zhu Wenkui looked deeply at Zhu Zhanji and nodded heavily: "I hope you can create a powerful Yan Kingdom and let the sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty fly there for a hundred generations!"
Zhu Zhanji smiled.
This is an agreement between two teenagers, an agreement between a future emperor and a future vassal king, and a commitment between brothers!
Zhu Wenkui hopes to know what the Yan Kingdom will look like twenty years from now, and what kind of flowers will bloom on the land there in twenty years.
Zhu Zhanji hopes to know what the Ming Dynasty will look like twenty years from now, hopes to understand the advanced science and technology of the Ming Dynasty, and hopes to see the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
Twenty years!
It's very long, but for two teenagers who are not yet adults, it is worth the wait.
Zhu Wenkui took Han Xiayu back.
When Zhu Yunwen knew Zhu Wenkui
, Zhu Zhanji’s twenty-year appointment, he smiled very happily. His son had learned to use promises to bind people far away...
