Chapter 66 The Steampunk Era

This is a question of equalization of interests.

Many years ago, after the tyrannical Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty used all the deposits of the two emperors of Wenjing to fight against the Xiongnu, the people in the country were already in poverty, and Liu Che resolutely continued to attack the Xiongnu.

Finally, in the later years of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, the population of the entire Han Dynasty dropped drastically to two million households, which was reduced by almost half, and the remaining half also lived miserably.

It was at this time that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, witnessed the tragic life of the people, and then ordered the end of the war, and also issued the famous "Guilty Edict" in history, and then went all out to recuperate.

This allowed Huanghuang Dahan to continue to exist!

Could it be said that the Dahan's attack on the Xiongnu is really a purely loss-making business?

This is not necessarily true. Whether it was Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, or other generals of the Han Dynasty, they were all captured richly after defeating the Xiongnu. Even during the Second Division’s expedition to Dawan to obtain Tianma, according to historical records, his Seizures are also not rare.

Unfortunately, these seizures have nothing to do with the people. They all went into the pockets of the emperor, heroes, and generals. The people were the only one in this vigorous war to expel the Huns. Ethnic group.

So, they are not poor, who is poor?

Therefore, Zhang Guozhu believes that if the people cannot enjoy the benefits of the empire’s expansion of territories, this is wrong, and it is also very bad for the empire.

From a long-term perspective, the dynasty can only firmly tie the interests of the people together, and this dynasty should be iron-clad.

When food is suddenly put on the market, the people will oppose it because it will hurt them.

If the grain is given to them in vain, the grain will also enter the market. However, the grain enters the market in the form of a very large denominator. At this time, the people are the actual beneficiaries.

As for food prices, there won't be any major fluctuations... even if it decreases... the people can accept it with joy.

This is the different effects brought about by different means of doing things.

The cost of distributing food to the people is very high. However, both Yun Zhao and Zhang Guozhu chose to distribute food at a huge expense instead of choosing a simpler method of tax reduction or exemption.

Taxation is the foundation of a country's existence, and this foundation should not be shaken.

However, tax reduction or exemption and direct distribution of grain or money have completely different effects on people's hearts and minds.

Over the years, the people of Ming Dynasty have actually enjoyed the dividends brought by the expansion of Ming Dynasty. For example, cheap large animals, cheap ironware, cheap meat, cheap fur, cheap textiles, these Everything really affects the lives of the people of Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the people don't feel the change. After a long time, they think it is justified.

This is a process of national carnival.

The grain is still floating on the sea, and Zhang Guozhu has already assigned the plan to distribute grain to the local government.

According to the plan, grain from the sea will first fill up the grain depots of local government offices in coastal ports, and the grain in these local grain depots will be sent to the inland, and so on, until the state capital farthest from the sea.

At that time, every state capital would produce some extra grain, seven million quintals of grain, which was actually not much in the hands of everyone in Daming, and it was only five catties of grain in the hands of everyone.

In addition to the extravagant transportation expenses, calculated on the basis of the 160 million population of Ming Dynasty, the final amount of grain that can be obtained is only three or four catties, um, four catties are the sky.

Yun Zhang believes that all these grains should be used to build railways. Yun Yang believes that this batch of grains should be used to expand the navy, army and strengthen armaments. Han Lingshan believes that if this batch of grain is handed over to him, he guarantees that he can spread the eyeliner all over the Ming Dynasty. It's the most remote mountain village and I won't let it go...

In short, there are many people who want this food, and Yun Zhao and Zhang Guozhu are still determined to distribute the food according to their heads.

No one knows the value of Daming's human heart better than Yun Zhao and Zhang Guozhu.

In September, the grain ships docked one after another.

All the places where grain boats can be moored in the Ten Thousand Miles Sea Territory of Ming Dynasty are full of grain boats.

Until this time, Yun Zhao, Zhang Guozhu and others understood that Hong Chengchou, together with Sun Chuanting, Han Xiufen, Shi Lang, and all merchants in Nanyang, organized nearly 30,000 merchant ships to transport the grain to Daming in one go...

Except for places close to the sea and harbors, Guanzhong is one of the first places where there is a large amount of grain.

The procedures for getting grain are very troublesome. It must be the head of the household to get the grain of the household, and it is not allowed to collect it on behalf of the household, and it is not allowed to claim it without authorization.

The head of the Yun family is Yun Zhao, but he can only take seven foods from his mother, two wives, plus himself and three children.

This time, everyone in Guanzhong, including the babies born before the distribution of food, has food.

Everyone is three catties and seven taels. The Guanzhong government has the atmosphere. He felt that there were some things that were unsightly and unpleasant, so they made up four catties. Therefore, Yun Zhao could receive 28 catties of grain from the grain store this time.

No one dared to line up in front of Yun Zhao, so Yun Zhao was the first to receive the grain. After opening the bag for a long time, he said to Zhang Guozhu, who was carrying the bag, "Didn't you say it's rice?" Ye Ye Chinese

Zhang Guozhu smiled and said: "Guanzhong does not produce rice, so I had to send wheat."

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "No, there is a big price difference between four catties of white rice and four catties of wheat."

Zhang Guozhu said: "Some roads are bad and impassable. Do they need to be repaired in order to facilitate the distribution of food?"

Yun Zhao nodded, feeling that this was reasonable.

"Does the river silt in some places need to be cleaned up?"

Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Guozhu and said, "As you can see, you didn't think about distributing food to the people."

Zhang Guozhu mentioned the 24 kilograms of grain he had distributed and said, "Isn't this grain? If I can't take advantage of this major event to take advantage of the many small troubles that have accumulated, I will be the state of the country for nothing.

The people actually don't care about taking less than half a catty, they care about whether they can really get good food from the government.

If you look back, in this two-mile long line, which one is here to get food? They are all here to see the prosperous scene. "

Yun Zhao glanced at Chu Yongping, the largest porcelain merchant in Guanzhong not far away, staring at how the officials weighing and distributing grain were cautious. He smiled and said, "Sure enough."

Everyone who left the granary carried a grain sack on their backs. This is what everyone discovered that the emperor and the prime minister also walked with their own grain sack. They felt that they were not as noble as the two, and they also carried the share of their own. The food went home in peace as a car, and walked all the way, laughing all the way.

"Thirty thousand merchant ships—"

Yun Zhao stopped and looked at Zhang Guozhu Road.

Zhang Guozhu smiled and said: "I can guarantee that at this time, your Majesty will never find a merchant ship with a carrying capacity of more than two hundred catties."

"Intentionally?"

"Yes, this is Han Xiufen, Shi Lang, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting who are showing off to the court, that is, we are showing off our strength."

"If they stop all commerce and specialize in transporting food, the loss should be great for them."

Yun Zhao, Zhang Guozhu carried the grain in a way. After leaving the warehouse, the grain bag naturally fell on the guards.

Hong Chengchou's plan was really not leaking. The meat dishes and the gift of seven million quintals of grain caught Yun Zhao by surprise. However, the effect was still very good.

"Although Nanyang is said to be a treasured land, we are still a little hasty in developing it now. We can only adopt a voluntary principle, and we can't force or blindly transport prisoners there. However, all prisoners must have opinions on the country.

There are too many prisoners, and I am worried that there will be accidents. "

Zhang Guozhu is still seeking stability, but his tone has begun to loosen.

The emergence of these seven million quintals of food made the entire Lantian dynasty begin to reassess the importance of Southeast Asia, and Han Xiufen and other naval admirals used nearly 30,000 ships to show the imperial court the huge maritime power of Southeast Asia.

A sail-powered vessel is still insufficient for Yun Zhao to undertake such a heavy task. Unless it can become a steam-powered vessel, Yun Zhao will agree to hand over the burden of supplementing the Central Plains grain to the navy.

"Take you to see a new thing!"

Yun Zhao thought of this and said to Zhang Guozhu.

Zhang Guozhu smiled and said, "Could it be that your clairvoyance, Shunfenger project has been completely successful?"

The development trend of cable telegraph Yun Zhao once talked to Zhang Guozhu, and Zhang Guozhu described it as whimsical. He also thought that Yun Zhao was hysterical after reading some strange and strange stories.

Yun Zhao glanced at the stupid Minister of State in front of him and said: "Fifteen years ago, did you know that you could see clearly in the distance with a telescope? Ten years ago, you could know that Lao Tzu could drive a lot with just a teapot? Does one hundred thousand catties of goods run around?

Seven years ago, could you know that through a microscope, you can discover that a whole world is in a drop of water?

Five years ago, did you know that through a copper wire, I could make instant calls with people hundreds of miles away? "

Three years ago ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ did you know that people can fly in the sky with a pair of wings?

Two years ago, did you know that after heating the air, we could fulfill our dream of flying to the sky?

You see, you don't know anything.

So, don’t be surprised after you see some strange things for a while, just worship me with five bodies. "

Zhang Guozhu sniffed and said, "I want to see what your Majesty is going to use to make me throw my five bodies on the ground!"

Yun Zhao looked at the azure blue sky and said, "I hope you won't be too surprised. After all, in front of me, you belong to the same level as those ignorant savages in Nanyang."

Zhang Guozhu said, "As long as there is something beyond my understanding, I will recognize it as a monkey!"
