"This is a solution..." Zhu Jishi pondered, "But each farmer can only get one chance at a time, and the validity period of this law is only 10 years. You have to give a nice name, which is called "Ti"

Let the field give birth to the law.”

The meaning of siblings means respecting and loving brothers, and the meaning of giving up the right to inherit the monk's business. Together, it means granting land to the younger brother who gave up the right to inherit the monk's business because of respecting and loving brothers. This method sounds very consistent with Confucian ethical norms, and Confucianism will be filial and filial.

Tibet is ranked as the fundamental condition for implementing "benevolence". However, in the name of "tebet", it seems that it is not the benevolent king to trick a "good brother" from his parents to the northeast.

After listening to the three methods proposed by the great god Engels, Emperor Zhu made a strike while the iron was hot and recruited the two prime ministers Zuo Zongtang and Zheng Hong from Yingtian Prefecture to Chuansha Palace.

"Left Prime Minister, Zheng Zheng, do you think the three laws, including the "Equal Fu Law", the "Immigration and Relief Law" and the "Ti Rang Land Grant" can be promulgated and implemented?"

Zuo Zongtang and Zheng Hong looked at each other. Of course, Zheng Hong was what the emperor said, and quickly expressed his opinion: "I think the three laws are completely feasible. The "Equal Fu Law" unifies the standards for land tax collection between the middle and the lower level.

, For most farmers, taxes have been reduced. The Immigration and Relief Law is also good. In the year of disaster, refugees will be sent out. Instead of letting them move around, it is better to lead them to the Northeast. As for the "Ti Rang" and "Tales and Give Land"

The Law is a good law that has never been seen in the ages and will definitely be praised by all people."

Zhu Jishi nodded, thinking that he was so wise and the emperor was praised by the people, and Zheng Hong was telling the truth.

Zuo Zongtang frowned and thought for a while before saying, "The Emperor, I think that after the implementation of the "Junior Fu Law", a few fields may be abandoned..."

The original division of land and soil was from top to bottom, which was very complicated. After Zhu Jishi came to power, he simplified it to three levels: upper, middle, and lower, which facilitates tax collection. Now the standard for collecting all land taxes is set as middle and lower,

It will indeed cause some of the landings, lower middle fields and lower lower fields to be abandoned.

Zhu Jishi also frowned. Before he could speak, Zheng Hong said first: "Left Prime Minister, what you said is not the same. In fact, the up and down of the land are not fixed. If you can accumulate fertilizers and build water conservancy.

You can transform the land into a land. According to the original tax collection method, if you transform it into a land, you have to pay more taxes. Wouldn't the farmers work in vain? Who will invest in the land to manage the land? In addition, many land and land are very good.

It’s okay if it’s hard to plant terraces, saline-alkali land and stone land are abandoned.”

Zuo Zongtang thought about it and nodded and said, "It seems that the "Juniority Law" is still feasible, just to make some gentry suffer a small loss. However, the "Immigration and Relief Law" and the "Trait and Grant Field Law" are

Some... Emperor, do we have so many fields?"

"Yes." Zhu Jishi smiled, "The Northeast is empty, and it is estimated that 800 million mu of land can be reclaimed. Lanfang also has a lot of land, with a total area equivalent to two Guangdongs. If you reclaim it well, there will always be 100 million mu of land.

Yes. In addition, Honghe Province has 20 to 30 million acres of land, right?”

The area of ​​cultivated land in the northeast mentioned by Emperor Zhu certainly includes the land in the northeast that was occupied by Russia in history. In later generations, China's three eastern provinces and Inner Mongolia in the northeast part had a total of nearly 500 million mu of land, while the ceded Northeast did not have it.

How to develop, the arable land area is about 50 to 60 million mu. If fully developed, 300 million mu of land should be available. Even if it is calculated based on 15 mu per capita (each farmer, including women and children), more than 5,000 can be resettled.

Tens of thousands of farmers, plus the urban population in the Northeast, should have 75 million people who go to Northeast China to live in the next thirty years, and on average, at least 2 million will have to immigrate every year.

Immigration to Southeast Asia and America is best to reach this number. In addition, after pacifying the northwest and developing Central Asia in the future, immigration projects to Xinjiang and Central Asia will also be followed up in time, and there may be thousands more in the next thirty years.

Ten thousand Han populations moved to Northwest and Central Asia. Considering the natural compound growth of the population, the population of China's Han area should decrease by tens of millions in the next thirty years from now to 350 million, maintaining at 350 million.

People are around, and with the development of the economy, the urbanization rate will also increase significantly. It is estimated that 100 million people will leave the countryside and enter urban life. In this way, the rural population will drop to about 250 million, and the per capita arable land area of ​​farmers

It can reach more than 5 acres. Although it is not rich, life should not be as difficult as it is now.

"Left Prime Minister, Zheng Zheng, there is another thing I want to tell you, the country should have a plan to build a national railway network. Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway, Beijing-Hanzhou Railway, Yinghu Railway, Jinpu Railway, Beijing-Tianjin Railway, Beiliao Railway, Beiliao Railway.

The construction plan of the Xuluo Railway should be determined as soon as possible. We strive to build a railway network covering major cities in the eastern and northeastern regions within 15 years, so that the total operating mileage of the Ming Railway exceeds 20,000 miles!"

The railway construction of the Ming Dynasty started very early, and it began after Zhu Jishi captured Guangzhou. It experienced some twists and turns, but now it is roughly on the right track, but the pace is not too fast. Because the development of the steel industry in the Ming Dynasty

He could not keep up with the pace of industrialization. Until recently, the Grand Bambie Semai from Lan Fangxing wrote a letter to report good news to Zhu Jishi - he had found a way to make steel at low cost.

"My invention is that if air or oxygen is blown into a sufficient amount of molten iron, it will cause strong combustion of liquid metal and maintain and raise the temperature so that the metal does not use fuel."

In this case, we kept the liquid state and removed carbon (partial)... For this reason, we selected iron ore from India, Qiongzhou, Shaozhou, Liaoyang and other places for experiments. We found that some iron ore from India and Liaoyang were blown using

After smelting by oxygen method, high-quality steel can be obtained. Moreover, iron ore in other places can only produce low-quality steel. As for the reasons, we are looking for it. In addition, we have calculated that one is more than 1 meter high and the interior is lined with

The refractory brick converter is attached with a powerful blower. I called it the Beisemai converter and conducted the test, and the effect is very good. So we are planning to build a large steel factory in Liaoyang and use local high-quality iron ore for smelting.

This is likely to be the world's largest and lowest single-plant steel production, cost... "

The chemical knowledge mastered by Emperor Zhu told him that it is feasible to remove carbon atoms in iron ore by blowing oxygen, but it cannot remove phosphorus and sulfur. Therefore, the experiment conducted by Beisemite using iron ore with high phosphorus and sulfur content is

Will fail. Some ores from India and Liaoyang (Nanfen open-pit iron ore) should be high-quality ore with double zero phosphorus and sulfur. However, the method of dephosphorizing iron is not difficult. Calcium carbonate can be used to dephosphorize the iron. Emperor Zhu is preparing to

This principle tells Bei Semai to find specific solutions. I believe that the Ming Dynasty's steel production will develop leap forward in the next ten years, and the supply of high-quality railway tracks will also increase significantly. Therefore, it is time to

The construction of railways has begun.

"In addition to railways, the supporting construction of official roads also needs to be accelerated. Hard roads should be used in places where conditions permit, and strive to form a transportation network with railways as the main line, official roads and waterways as the branch lines, covering all the Northeast and the East.

province."

Of course, Emperor Zhu has heard of the principle that building roads should be built before making money, and the planned large immigrants also require the cooperation of the transportation network.

In this era, China's inland transportation mainly relies on water transportation. Therefore, in areas with dense water networks or along the river and sea, industry and commerce are often more developed. Now, provinces with more immigrants are also coastal and river-along provinces. For example, Shandong in the north,

Beizhi, the five provinces along the river in the south, and Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong.

As for the official roads, although they are densely spread across the country, the transportation volume is not large, and they are mainly used for military mobilization. Now Zhu Jishi plans to spend decades to establish a railway and highway network connected to the waterway transportation network to bring China

The eastern and northeastern regions are connected together. This will not only facilitate population movement, but also promote the circulation of goods, which should be extremely beneficial to the formation of a unified market.

However, when I thought about the time it took to achieve this goal, Emperor Zhu couldn't help but sigh: I really don't know if I can see the day when the Ming Empire built a beautiful home of imperialism! No wonder a certain Chao Tai

What kind of leap does the ancestor want to make? Maybe he can't wait to farm slowly? Think about a group of feudal bureaucrats who always lose their chains. It is indeed more difficult to govern the world than to conquer the world! (To be continued...
