If a country wants to be strong, it must make progress.

If people want to be strong, they also need to make progress.

My father-in-law doesn't like to say those fake things. He always believes that those who are soldiers do not want to be officials, so the soldier is definitely not a good soldier. Similarly, those who are officials do not want to make money will definitely not be a good official either.

Perhaps, the previous sentence can be quoted, but the latter sentence will have problems, ambiguity and debate in the eyes of the world.

However, my father-in-law always believes that getting rich is the best manifestation of progress and the best reward for progress!

At any time, there is no paradox between getting rich and being a good official. It is not a life-and-death relationship, but a harmonious relationship.

It should be noted that since mankind has existed, the desire for wealth, power and status has always been the greatest source of human progress.

None of them.

Because I think about living a good life and living better than others, I will have constant competition, continuous innovation, and continuous pursuit, and human history and human civilization.

If you are not doing well, I am not doing well. If everyone is like this, then human beings will never make progress, let alone civilization will emerge.

Therefore, the essence of civilization is the pursuit of material things.

This truth comes from human nature.

A very small number of people who violate this principle of human development may become saints, but saints are worse than thieves to the country and the nation.

Specifically speaking of Eunuch Wei, isn’t he just adhering to and realizing the essence of civilization?

He made progress to save the country, and saving the country requires money. Therefore, he kept making money, seeking progress after making money, and making money after making progress...

Logical and no contradictions!

The court has always been honest from top to bottom. My father-in-law did not deny or question this, but he believed that emphasizing the pursuit of interests might be more suitable for the current Ming Dynasty.

A specific time period and a specific historical development period must have distinctive ideological policies.

The Ming Dynasty was already behind in the Age of Discovery, and the "foreign wealth" all over the world were all called foreign devils. If latecomers want to take the lead, there is no concept that is more practical than calling everyone to make money.

My father-in-law is not afraid of ridicule for the world, nor is he afraid of calling them thousands of men and thousands of men. He believes that only by letting the people know what to do to make money and live a good life will be truly supported by the people, just like the emperor who can make him rich now.

After a long journey, Eunuch Wei, who became a military instructor and a thought tutor, wrote his notes alone in the cabin under the slanting sunset.

Taking notes is his special hobby, but there is no habit of squeezing hair in it.

In the notes, my father-in-law doesn’t like to open a map, and he doesn’t like to brag. He records what fulfilling speeches he made and what sufficient things he did during his fulfilling day.

Of course, if there are any unpleasant things or more frustrating things, he will write them down and use them to make a list in the future. If he cannot avenge this revenge, he will have a son to avenge him. If his son cannot avenge him, he will come to avenge him. The so-called descendants are endless, and he will be determined to avenge him.

If you don’t get revenge, it’s definitely not a big deal!

As a eunuch who is not very qualified, his father-in-law certainly cannot make himself more in line with the requirements of the court in terms of physiology and the dark speculations of the people of the people, but he tried his best to make his personality conform to the speculations of the melon-eating crowd.

This is also a little fun.

After taking notes, it was completely dark. My father-in-law was a little hungry. As usual, after four dishes and one soup, he wiped his mouth, a little dissatisfied with why there was no chili in the braised pork. Then he signaled Oda to pick the oil lamp in the cabin to brighten it, then sat at the back desk and continued his work.

The father-in-law roughly summarized the various tasks in the Maritime Special Zone and followed the steps.

Seeing that the new year is approaching, his current focus is not only on the great business of going overseas after the New Year, but also on the Maritime Office's first five-year plan.

Everything is without prediction and will not be established.

Doing anything is not something you can do with a slap in your head, wave your hand and say you can get on the horse.

There must always be a specific plan and a specific implementation plan.

The system has been established. Even if my father-in-law is not here, the people below can do things according to the requirements of the system. It is like an assembly line. No matter who is not bad, as long as the assembly line is still rotating, the product will definitely take shape.

Perhaps because I was deeply influenced by my previous life, my father-in-law also habitually kept the five-year plan in his mouth and in his heart, so he quoted it without thinking.

The first five-year plan, considering the complexity and urgency of maritime struggle, was focused on military production.

For example, next year, that is, the 40th year of Wanli, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration must be established.

So where is the General Administration of Manufacturing located, how many factories are built, how many technicians are used, how many raw materials are bought, how much things are built, what design drawings are there, what requirements are required, how large the production scale is, etc., there must be a detailed plan.

My father-in-law was not an engineer, so he asked him to list it one by one, so it was definitely impossible to produce springs, triggers, and steel effectively.

Therefore, he could only rely on his impressions and impressed things that he had seen in his previous life, beyond this era, but not too advanced, and had more than ten large and small letters.

Don’t underestimate these more than ten items. Almost each of them consumes my father-in-law’s memory and hard work. To be successful in implementing it, it will undoubtedly be a cross-age impact.

My father-in-law was also full of respect for the ancients. He believed that if he started, the technical talents of this era would definitely do it and do it better.

In the annex of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration, my father-in-law planned iron ore and copper ore matters, and strived to exclusively control one to three iron ore and no less than one copper ore within two years to ensure the production needs of the Manufacturing Administration.

How to do it, how to find it, and how to obtain it, it will be a little bit more.

The plan of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau was just over half an hour after the father-in-law had written the pen and wrote more than eighteen pieces of paper alone.

Finally, the fixed plan was combined with nine pieces, each with more than 300 words, covering everything my father-in-law could think of, including establishing a talent exchange system with Macau in Western countries and cultivating technical talents.

According to preliminary estimates, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau will invest at least about five million taels of silver to be completed and able to achieve mass production.

It is equivalent to the current income of the treasury of the Ming Dynasty for one and a half years.

Given that my own pockets are not as big as it is now, it is impossible to spend so much money at once, my father-in-law plans to invest 400,000 taels in advance next year to ensure the completion of the factory, technicians and hardware facilities.

In terms of production, as long as the musket improvement and fixed-loading production of medicines, the accuracy of the artillery, and the test of flowering artillery shells are achieved.

In addition to the Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration, in the five-year plan, Eunuch Wei will also establish the Royal Navy Shipyard, which is also located in the Maritime Special Zone, and Wusongkou is also a good place for natural shipbuilding.

According to my father-in-law's idea, if the navy wants to build a ship, it must build an iron-clad ship. There can be dozens of cannons on both sides of the British and French coalition forces entering the Dagukou Fort.

But he knew that he was not good at shipbuilding and could not blindly command experts. Therefore, his father-in-law planned to set up this naval shipyard, and then improve the original naval ships according to actual combat needs, and then build new warships. On some technical difficulties, he would not interfere too much and just put forward "personal opinions". When necessary, he could set up a scientific research team, not afraid of wasting money, encourage craftsmen to innovate, and there would always be results.

The investment in this area is not calculated in a single year, but is a major project that lasts ten or even decades. My father-in-law is realistic and plans to allocate 300,000 taels to the Navy Shipyard next year. This plus the 400,000 taels from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, the combined total will be 700,000 taels.

Excluding these two big gold-swallowing beasts, the other institutions that need to be established or established in the five-year plan will have a smaller initial investment or temporary investment. Some of them can be not built before they can be built when they have money.

Such as medical institutions of later generations of hospitals, such as military schools that train talents for the Royal Navy and the Army, as well as various institutions that provide services to the people and merchants of the SAR, including schools, etc.

Generally speaking, the father-in-law has listed more than 30 institutions, and these will be selected and urgently allocated funds in the five-year plan according to demand. If the first five years cannot be completed, the investment will be increased in the second five years.

In the five-year plan, there are also people's livelihood issues.

For example, the roads in the Maritime Special Zone are leveled, factory buildings and residential areas, commercial areas, drainage systems, and sanitation systems. My father-in-law is also very interested in the real estate area and hopes to make the Maritime Special Zone the cleanest and most planned city in the Ming Dynasty.

These will be effective after the New Year. After all, the profits of maritime bonds in the north and the sunshine thawing capital operation project in the south are large, but they all have to bear the risk of collapse. What can really bring great benefits to Eunuch Wei and the Ming Dynasty are also huge profits of maritime trade.

Compared with the big watermelon of Haimao Juli, any project is sesame.

My father-in-law is a person who knows the importance of it.

Therefore, we must spare no expense in the hardware construction of the Special Administrative Region.

For this purpose, he plans to allocate 500,000 taels.

In addition, there is another big end to the five-year plan, which is to form the army group of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army.

So far, the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army formed by my father-in-law actually has only a navy organization. There are only more than 3,000 soldiers in the entire army, together with their families and non-combatants, while there are no army organization. There are only a few infantry battalions hanging in the rear camp of the Tengxiang Right Guard under the Imperial Horse Supervision, and there are only more than 2,000 soldiers together.

In other words, although my father-in-law is arrogant and domineering in the Taiping Land of Nanzhi, his thousands of men are placed in Liaodong, or in Jiubian of Xuanda, and he can't even make a bubble.

In the future, my father-in-law's great enemy will not only be the Han gangsters on the sea, but also Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, England and other countries.

Even if we do not consider how many troops the Western countries far away in Europe can have in the East to fight against the Ming Dynasty Imperial Army, our father-in-law must consider the forces that need to be mobilized to conquer the Japanese.

The slogan of honoring the emperor to seek traitor has been shouted, and Japan's Yinshan and women are really attractive, so expanding the army is imperative.

To fight against foreign countries, we must first settle the country. If we want to compete with Western countries, we must first ensure the unification of East Asia's back garden.

Within five years, my father-in-law planned to form at least three A-level divisions, two B-level divisions and at least one C-level division to ensure the occupation of Japan's coastal and core areas.

One Class A Division plus the division headquarters, the non-combatants in the brigade headquarters are nearly 30,000 people, and the three Class A Divisions are ninety thousand people. In addition, the Class B Division and C Division, that is, within five years, Eunuch Wei must build an army group with about 150,000 soldiers and equipped with strong firepower.

Even if a soldier pays twenty taels a year, the military pay expenses will cost three million taels a year. This does not mention weapons, equipment and daily expenses.

I really don't know, I was shocked when I calculated.

The father-in-law frowned, biting his pen in his mouth, thinking that the expenses were too large, would it be reduced a little, but when he thought that Toyotomi Hideyoshi could mobilize 300,000 troops during the throne, the old Tokugawa turtle now unified Japan and established a shogunate. The mobilization of troops was no worse than Toyotomi, so he had to ensure the scale of the 150,000 army, otherwise, it would be a big fight.

My father-in-law may have various shortcomings, but the key is that he has self-knowledge. He will not arrogantly shout out that he will destroy the Tokugawa shogunate for three months.

Conquering the Japanese is a long-cherished wish!

Even if he is a human being for two lifetimes, his father-in-law will not forgive anyone in Japan for his descendants.

Why did my father-in-law form a division-level army? This is not a bad thing, but a way to do what he does.

A long-cherished wish must be fulfilled, otherwise even the big bird will not be able to soften if it dies.

My father-in-law touched his chin and found that there seemed to be a few more stubble. He suddenly became uneasy. He picked up the mirror and took out a handful of pinching it from the drawer. Then he pulled the stubble away one by one. It hurt him so much that he was crying and in his eyes.

Unfortunately, there is no hair removal cream these days.

After putting down the pinch, looking in the mirror, confirming that there was no escape, Eunuch Wei felt relieved. At the moment of his power and age, he was embarrassed to claim that he was also a bearded eunuch.

The 150,000 army is not small, and the problem is not small.

Wanli would definitely not agree to recruit so many soldiers as a eunuch, so his father-in-law, must not expand his army in Nanzhi. He must have an overseas base.

At present, it is impossible for him to complete six divisions at once, but he can first make a division stand out in the near future.

It is feasible to send people to recruit soldiers from Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Jiangnan and even Shandong.

While writing the expansion of the army into the five-year plan, my father-in-law thought about where the soldiers came from, but footsteps sounded outside the cabin. Then he heard someone say something to Oda. After a while, Oda leaned his head and looked inward.

"What's up?"

My father-in-law hates Oda the most, and he feels like this slutty man is peeping at his old man’s sexual intercourse.

Oda lowered his waist ninety degrees and said respectfully: "Report to the lord, the news from the navy, the special zone has been attacked!"

"Nani!"

My father-in-law shook his hand and the brush fell on the paper with a "trumpet" and pointed out a big black sun.
Chapter completed!
