Chapter 438: War is a derivative of politics(2/2)

"Every time I read the history books, I wonder why the innovators of the past dynasties seem to have tacitly forgotten what the people really want. They just stand on the high temples and use what they think

Good governance will create a vigorous revolution."

"But have they asked the people if they need it?"

"Was the former prince of the Song Dynasty a capable minister? I think he was. But did his new policies really take care of the needs of the people? Did the prince really ask the people whether the new policies he made were correct?"

"I don't think so either."

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were sad.

He did not believe in the so-called dynastic cycle, but in the Central Plains where people ruled, the big shots in the temples would never truly understand the sentiments of the people and ask those people who had their faces turned to the earth and their backs to the sky what they really needed.

"What do the people need?"

Zhu Yunxi asked again, raising his head and looking at the sky above the workshops, which had become gray because of the chimneys.

He spoke softly: "The people need to have full stomachs, have surplus food, have surplus money, and have more spacious houses. Their children also need to go to school, instead of father farming and son farming."

"Everything is divided into acres, and Shanglinyuan Supervisor is vigorously increasing grain production. These are just to keep the people full. But what about the other things the people want?"

"Why did I let Wenyuan Pavilion approve the construction of several other cement roads? Why did I give Pan Deshan almost unlimited power to work on the entire Yellow River? Why try to build a railway at this time?"

"The common people of our country need some people to come out of the fields and do more valuable things. In other words, do things that can make more money and make their lives better."

"Japanese workers can only do the most difficult things, such as mining, digging coal, and building border fortresses. When I serve the people, they can build cement roads, rivers, and railways."

"For these things, the imperial court did not recruit corvees. Even if they did, they would provide enough money and food, so that the people would not continue to prepare their own dry food and work for the imperial court in vain."

Zhu Yunxi's voice was calm and long, but it was indescribably convincing.

Zhu Gaochi was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "But if you do this, how can the court get so much money and food? There is enough money, but if there is too much money, the prices of private goods will inevitably rise, and the lives of the people will not change.

"

This is the simplest economic question.

Once there is more money in the world, but the total amount of material does not increase accordingly, then the extra money can only be attached to the material of the cause, that is, the price increases.

The more you make, the more the price will increase.

"So the founding father will stay there for several years, even ten years."

Zhu Yunxi confessed without thinking: "The south is a cornucopia. If the southern expedition army advances ten miles, the Ming Dynasty will be able to increase the output of ten miles of land and transport it back to stabilize prices."

"I have never seen such a statement in the book." Zhu Gaochi sighed and murmured in a low voice.

He has never seen such a statement. But he understands that it is not wrong.

In recent years, more and more gold and silver from Japan have been shipped to Japan.

Prices in Yingtian City have risen slightly, but the imperial court is in charge, so it is not too obvious. But changes are actually happening.

Economics is a big issue, and Zhu Yunxi doesn't think he is an omniscient and omnipotent person.

He changed his mouth and said: "This is a long-term matter. The Ming Dynasty can't just build roads and embankments and recruit a large number of people to work to make money to support their families and live a prosperous life.

What is at hand is to let everyone inside and outside the imperial court see that the New Deal is correct and cannot be wrong.

It has been a long time since the decree of the Qin Dynasty's military meritorious officials was restored. Not to mention that the guards of the Beijing army were still directly responsible for the military guards. Even the officers and soldiers of the local guards, as Bing Ge'er said, are now seeking war.

Fighting.

The imperial court wants everyone in the world to know that what the imperial court says is like spitting and nailing. If someone really makes an immortal contribution, then make him a king!

Ming Dynasty needs to show its integrity to its family members, and it is also true that it can be crowned king!"

Zhu Gaochi's eyes flickered constantly. He imitated Zhu Yunxi's posture, put his hands behind his back, and supported himself on the ground. Only then did he realize that his stomach was a little tight.

And he whispered: "So, comprehensive management of the Japanese country, no matter from every point of view, is for the sake of government affairs."

Zhu Yunxi nodded heavily.

"This battle must be fought!"

"I will never give up until I destroy the Japanese kingdom!"
