Ming Dynasty: I, Zhu Gaoyun, inherited the command of Ju Ling.

Shandong, Qi Wangfu.

"Build roads?"

After seeing the will sent by the imperial court, Zhu Gaoxian's face showed a trace of surprise!

The old man actually wanted to get a large amount of cement from his cement factory and build a road from Yingtian to Yantai, and at the same time connect to Beiping Mansion!

Now that the cement roads in Yantai Mansion have been almost repaired, and the output of the cement plant is increasing month by month, Zhu Gaoxian wants to first connect all the state capitals in the fiefdom with cement roads, so that the entire fiefdom will become an iron plate!

Whether it is in the military, or in trade, the benefits of building roads are naturally self-evident!

But he didn't expect that the old man actually started to build the road, and he also repaired the cement road directly from Yingtianfu to Beiping Mansion!

said that he wanted to build a road in Shandong and go directly to Yantai Mansion, but in fact, even if the imperial court did not repair this road, he would definitely have to build it himself in Shandong!

"It seems that Your Majesty also realizes that building roads is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, so he has such an idea!"

"Your Highness, since the imperial court has issued an order asking you for cement, will we give it or not?"

Li looked at Zhu Gaoxian and asked.

"You also said that the court has already opened its mouth to ask for cement, how can this king not give it?"

"Fortunately, the output of the cement plant has been growing, and it seems that we have to continue to expand the production capacity!"

"But the court didn't ask for it for nothing, and it also asked the household department to buy it with silver!"

"In that case, let's give a better price. "

Zhu Gaoxian smiled, and then commanded the Li family.

Although he said so, Zhu Gaoxian felt that something was too wrong!

The old man didn't want to go on the Northern Expedition, but he wanted to build roads, was this really the rhythm that he was led astray by?

Could it be that the wings of this butterfly are really so powerful?

When the second eldest Zhu Gaoxu wrote a letter, he also complained that the old man also mentioned the idea of the Northern Expedition in the court, but he was fooled by the eldest three sentences and "five zero three", so he directly took out the money from the treasury to build the road, and the matter of the Northern Expedition was put on hold!

With Zhu Gaoxu's rectum, he hasn't seen the strangeness yet, and at the same time, he is so angry that the old man's backsliding behavior can't do it!

But Zhu Gaoxian knew that this was more like the old man did it on purpose!

How could he be persuaded to give up what he wanted to do because of a few words from the crown prince Zhu Gaochi?

If the old man is really so good at talking, then he is not the Emperor of Yongle!

Going to the West, the Five Expeditions to Mobei, and the Relocation of the Capital to Beiping, which of these three things is not a lot of resistance and a voice of opposition?

But Zhu Di in history, but he did everything without falling!

Weird!

It's weird!

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Gaoxian didn't understand what the problem was, but there was no doubt that it was inextricably linked to him!

"The cement thing is easy to say, but now the cement roads in the fiefdom have been built, but the rubber trees have only been planted for two years, and at least another three or four years can be harvested!"

"That rubber tire, I'm afraid I can't count on it in a short time!"

Li sighed helplessly at this time.

She had already read about the role of rubber through the industrial books that Zhu Gaoxian gave her, especially the tires made of rubber, which were good things that could be applied to Daming in front of her, and in this matter, she was more anxious than Zhu Gaoxian!

"In this way, you will go to Changshi to find Changshi Zhang Cong in a while, reply to the imperial court, and after talking about the cement, talk about the rubber, more than two years of rubber trees, you can also harvest the rubber essence, but it will damage the saplings!"

"In a small area, it is not tight to harvest a part, and continue to expand the scale of rubber planting, temporarily harvest one-tenth of the rubber trees, and get a batch of rubber stock solution back!"

"This can also be used as a preliminary research, and in addition, make a batch of tires and other practical things to see the effect!"

"You can't do it in large quantities, but you can still do it in small batches!"

Zhu Gaoxian thought about it and said to the Li family.

Zhang Cong, the left chief of the Qi Palace, and He Rang, the right chief of the Qi Palace, are all subordinate officials assigned to him by the imperial court, and they are also the highest-ranking subordinate officials of the Qi Palace, and they are directly responsible to the imperial court!

However, Zhang Cong and He Rang have already become Zhu Gaoxian's henchmen now, and he, Zhu Gaoxian, naturally will not really let the two eyes of the imperial court keep an eye on him in the fiefdom at all times!

"The concubine understood. "

Li Shi answered, and retreated directly.

"It's rare that with the temperament of the fourth child, he didn't fight, but chose to recuperate, and thought about building roads!"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded in Zhu Gaoxian's mind.

"My grandson can't understand it, this doesn't look like my father's character!"

Zhu Gaoxian nodded noncommittally.

"Building this road, there are two major benefits that can be seen right now, one is that the fourth child is ready to move the capital to Beiping, and it will be more convenient to have a cement road!"

"Second, he wants to go on a northern expedition in the future, and it will also be more convenient to have this road!"

"Whether it is a large army going out on an expedition or transporting grain and grass from the south to northern Xinjiang, this cement road is indispensable!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.

When Zhu Gaoxian heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved.

After Zhu Yuanzhang's reminder, he thought of a possibility instead!

The old man is not simply to build roads, as Zhu Yuanzhang said, it is also for the future relocation of the capital and the Northern Expedition can be carried out more smoothly, which can be regarded as a precautionary measure!

If the road is repaired in advance, it will be much easier for him to do anything!

In other words, he made cement in Shandong, but let the old man see more feasibility, because of what he did in Shandong, everything that should have happened began to deviate, and even the time of the Northern Expedition was delayed!

Well!

Now that I think about it, only this statement can be explained!

......

A few days later.

Yingtianfu, the Imperial Palace.

Zhu Di in the imperial study was looking at the excerpts sent by the Qi Palace, first of all, the matter of cement, and the fourth one had already agreed.

The second thing is to harvest a batch of rubber first!

"Boss, you go and urge the household department to do this matter, the faster the better. Eight hundred miles to send a letter to Liangguang urgently, and strive to be able to send the rubber stock solution to the fourth in a month!"

After seeing Zhu Gaoxian's request, Zhu Di didn't say a word, and directly instructed the prince Zhu Gaochi on the side.

Zhu Gaoxian wants to harvest a part of the rubber stock solution in advance, but he must have been unable to wait, and he wants to get some rubber tires out first!

For this good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, Zhu Di will naturally not refuse, and he must vigorously support it!

Moreover, after the cement road is built, coupled with the rubber tires, it can greatly improve the transportation efficiency of transportation!

He Zhu Di also can't wait!

To say that the most important thing Zhu Di wanted to do before was definitely the Northern Expedition, but now he feels that it is more interesting to carry out infrastructure construction in the Ming Dynasty and do more people's livelihood and military projects than the direct Northern Expedition!

These are all his achievements during Zhu Di's reign!

Zhu Di unconsciously remembered everything he saw from the dream picture!

He still remembered that during the Heavenly Dao period, the population of Shuntian Mansion had reached a very exaggerated level, there were tens of millions!

The original Suncheonfu has been expanded several times and has become a super city!

There are eight million people in one city, which is something that Zhu Di can't even imagine!

Chang'an Mansion in the Tang Dynasty was prosperous enough, right?

From the Zhenguan period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty to the prosperous era of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the population at its peak has only increased from 3.2 million to 4.8 million, and it has not yet exceeded 5 million!

In other words, the Shuntian Mansion in the Tiandao period was enough to be as prosperous as the two Chang'an Mansions in the Tang Dynasty!

When he Yongle Emperor Zhu Di was in power, he didn't ask for the population of Jingshi Shuntianfu to exceed eight million, but it was comparable to the Tang Dynasty, reaching about five million, it should still be feasible, right?

Thinking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but summon the national sports system again.

"System, why is the population density of Shuntianfu so high during the Heavenly Dao years?"

"What can I do to quickly make the population of Jingshi grow rapidly?"

Zhu Di only saw the appearance, but he didn't understand the doorway, and it was impossible to ask the fourth child directly, so he could only ask the national sports system!

[If you want to rapidly develop the size and population of a city, it needs to be directly linked to policies and economic development! With the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, it can't be done at all, and the host doesn't have to think about it!]

[Of course, if the host has the financial resources to build a super city, and then forcibly migrate the population from other regions to Jingshi, it may also be able to achieve its goal, but at the same time, there will be all kinds of serious problems!]

The National Fortune System explained slowly.

Zhu Di: "..."(Read the violent novel, go to the Feilu Novel Network!)

Is co-authoring just thinking too much?

The size and population of a city need to be directly linked to policies and economic development, which makes Zhu Di thoughtful!

However, what policy and how to develop the economy, he is at a loss!

It seems that these things can only be counted on by the fourth!

"During the Heavenly Dao period, Shuntian Mansion should be regarded as the only one in the Ming Dynasty, right?"

Zhu Di asked again.

[That's not it, there were a total of seven cities with a population of more than five million in the Ming Dynasty during the Heavenly Dao period, and they were all first-tier cities in the Ming Dynasty!]

[These seven cities are Shuntianfu, Yantaifu, Yingtianfu, Hanzhongfu, Chengdu, Guangzhou and Shenzhen!]

[From north to south, from east to west, these seven cities have played an important role in balancing the economy of all parts of the Ming Dynasty!]

The National Fortune System explained slowly.

"Seven cities with a population of more than five million, there are so many?"

When Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised!

In his dreams, what he saw the most was the future situation of Yingtianfu, Shuntianfu and Yantai Mansion!

As for the other places, he just listened to the name, and the specific details are not clear!

For example, Shenzhen and Guangzhou, Zhu Di only knows that they are the Liangguang region, and there are many mountainous areas in the Liangguang region, but Shenzhen and Guangzhou are the only areas with relatively wide plains, which are indeed suitable for economic development!

Therefore, Lao Jiu relied on Guangzhou Mansion and built a Shenzhen Mansion at the southernmost tip of the east bank of the Pearl River!

Also say what kind of Pearl River Delta Economic Zone is that!

As for Hanzhong and Chengdu, although Zhu Di did not see them in his dreams, these two cities have belonged to the land of soldiers since ancient times, the land of Shuchuan Tianfu, and the land of fish and rice!

"And what about the Imperial Guard Academy?"

"It is said that it is the highest university in the Ming Dynasty, is there only such one?"

Zhu Di asked again: 0 ...

[During the Tiandao period, schools began to be built all over the country, and Zhu Gaoxian implemented the education reform policy, abolished the original imperial examination system, and has made too much progress to the compulsory education system and the examination-oriented education system!]

[For example, the nine-year compulsory education in primary and secondary schools, which is compulsory for school-age children regardless of gender!

[Of course, the highest status and the top university is naturally the Imperial Guard Academy, and it is also the place that no math students yearn for!]

The National Movement System went on to explain.

"I see!"

When Zhu Di heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly while being amazed in his heart.

It seems that it is almost impossible for me to complete this series of reforms during the Yongle period!

Unless he can help the fourth child directly to the position of the crown prince!

Otherwise, everything will be a pipe dream!

"During the Dao years, what was the population of the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Di continued to ask.

[The population at the peak of the Ming Dynasty during the Heavenly Dao period was more than 300 million!]

The National Movement System explained.

300 million?

100 million units, but he had never heard of it!

"How much is 100 million?"

Zhu Di asked in surprise.

[It's 10,000,000,000!]

The national transport system returns.

When Zhu Di heard this, he felt like his scalp was numb!

Good fellows, 300 million people, more than 30,000 people!

No wonder with a population of more than five million, it can reach seven!

He Yongle once counted the population of only tens of millions, and if he wanted to achieve this goal, he would have to at least quadruple or five times the number of the existing population!

In fact, Zhu Di also knows that whether the population grows depends on food!

Only enough food can afford to feed so many people!

From the previous dream, Zhu Di also discovered that since Yongle 19, the population of Daming has been growing significantly!

People are like this, when they don't have enough to eat, they will only run for a bite to eat, but when they can eat enough, it will be different!

The so-called full of warmth and lust!

Population explosion is also inevitable!

From the Yongle period to the Heavenly Dao period, the population has more than fivefold, which can also be said!

Moreover, after Zhu Gaoxian ascended the throne, he also encouraged the people to have more children, and the imperial court would give subsidies, which also made the people have no worries!

At that time, the grassland of the Tartars had also been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court also sent people to send a group of rotten Confucians to Mobei to teach herdsmen sinology, and also teach them how to graze scientifically, and introduced a series of policies, such as distributing poverty alleviation piglets, poverty alleviation sheep cubs and the like!

Population growth will also take time!

Thinking of this, Zhu Di sighed helplessly.

......

Time flies, more than a month has passed!

At the end of November of the eighth year of Yongle.

"Your Majesty, the transport team transporting rubber stock solution from the Liangguang region has arrived at Yingtianfu by surprise!"

Zhu Di, who was reviewing the folds in the imperial study, received the news from Gonggong Li on 5.5.

"Well, it's still too late, at least before the end of the year, it can be delivered to the fourth!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, these rubber trees have only been planted for two years, and they are only seedlings.

Starting to harvest the rubber stock solution so early will cause the seedlings to die, and the losses must be the hard-working rubber farmers!

However, Zhu Gao's side also compensated these rubber farmers according to the compensation of 20 yuan per rubber tree!

There is no need for Zhu Di to deal with the aftermath, but it is quite worry-free!

"I don't know what this rubber stock solution is, what does it look like?"

"The fourth child actually said that these are good treasures!"

Zhu Gaochi asked curiously at this time.

"Okay, if you're so curious, just go and see for yourself!"

Zhu Di said, and directly led Zhu Gaochi to the cargo dock together!

In fact, the rubber stock solution is just some milky white viscous liquid!

When one of the sealed barrels was opened, the group of people saw the white slimy thing inside, and they all showed an unknown color!

Only Zhu Di knows in his heart what these rubber stock solutions are used for!

The future military industry of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the civilian industry, will use this thing, so after Zhu Di has seen those dreams, he will order more rubber trees again!

There is no doubt that rubber trees are definitely a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, Zhu Gaochi often says that a generation does a generation's things, but he Zhu Di just wants to do something for several generations in the future of the Ming Dynasty!

Half a month later.

The first batch of rubber stock solution was successively transported to Yantai, Shandong!
