Chapter 694: Not enough time
When Li Ruolian left, the emperor glanced at Erdezi standing beside him. Although he had not said a word, Erdezi immediately bowed to the emperor and left.
The emperor walked into the hall and looked around the room, and finally frozen it on the Daheng map hanging on one side.
This is the habit of the emperor.
No matter where it is, this map of Daheng Qiankun is also indispensable.
Even though the emperor has long been familiar with this map, he has memorized it.
However, it seems that it was because of the wars over the years in the past few years. Whenever there are military and national affairs, the emperor always habitually faces this map, so that he can think like a spring.
The territory of Daheng on the map is really not very bright. Compared with the previous obvious, there are only more areas such as Liao Province, North Korea, Hetao and Taiwan.
It seems to be a territorial expansion, which is also the emperor's firm idea.
But only when you truly conquer this territory, you will know the hardships of expanding territory.
War is a huge amount of money, material resources and investment. After a war, what is destroyed may be the grain tax and finance of a province or even several provinces.
And these are just the beginning. If the war is won, it is still fine. Of course, this is not absolute. Just like Liao Province, it is under battle and everything is in trouble. Every year, the court has to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain construction.
Daheng has pacified Liao Province for so many years and has carefully calculated it. Until now, it is still a loss-making state that is not enough to make ends meet.
This process would never be maintained unless the emperor made a decision. The biggest possibility is to bind the boundaries outside the territory, rather than actual rule, as in the previous Ming Dynasty.
It is obvious that there are too many internal pits in Daheng now, including the southwest, northwest, natural disasters, Liao Province, North Korea, and other major national strategies...
Daheng has the ability to start the war, and the emperor will never doubt the victory or defeat of the war, but he definitely does not have the energy. After the war, he will not be able to make ends meet and require the court to continue to transfusion blood.
"Time!"
The emperor shook his head and sighed, "Governing a big country is like cooking a small freshman, and he didn't want to hurry, but there was really not enough time."
It has been nine years since Zhaowu, and he is no longer the young man. He is already thirty-seven years old, and he can almost be said to be nearly forty years old.
At this age, how much time does he have?
Ten years, twenty years, or thirty years?
No time seems to be enough to fully realize his grand achievements.
Even though he has excellent martial arts, strong qi and blood, and excellent medical skills, the emperor never thought he would live too long.
After all, young teenagers in their teens have been fighting and killing for years, and they have suffered too many injuries.
No matter how skilled his medical skills or martial arts are, he will hurt him. If he hurts his vitality, he will hurt his vitality.
The human body is so mysterious, how can external objects be repaired and repaired well?
Now he is still young and strong, and everything seems to be fine, but the emperor knows very well that a human body is like governing the country.
Hidden dangers are hidden.
When a country is strong, all hidden dangers and contradictions are insignificant, but once the country weakens, everything will be revealed.
No matter how small the hidden dangers and contradictions are, they are likely to eventually turn into fatalities.
This is true for a human body, and so is a country.
The only difference is that the loss of control of the country can be restored, the building can be supported, and the sky can be recreated, but once the human body loses control, it will inevitably be a lack of skill to turn the world back.
"Why!"
The emperor sighed again, looking at the Daheng Qiankun Picture, he suddenly became speechless.
The emperor knew very well that to pacify Tibet and Grassland, it would take at least ten years to rule from war to stable rule.
The premise of this is that productivity is innovated. Otherwise, it will take at least decades to stabilize.
And Daheng's national strength center will inevitably be involved and difficult to transfer.
A grand achievement is hard to say, but in the end, it will be a waste.
It was sleepless again. The next morning, the emperor rushed to the Tianjin Shipyard to inspect the shipyard and checked the current progress of Daheng's shipbuilding technology.
From the beginning, the emperor attached great importance to the development of the navy. Therefore, Daheng's shipyard also developed rapidly. In the Ming Dynasty, the Denglai Navy was established and the Denglai Shipyard was built.
With the growth of the Denglai Navy, the Denglai Shipyard once jumped to the first shipyard in the Ming Dynasty, and the same was true for the early years of Daheng.
As Daheng pacified the Later Jin Dynasty and recovered Liao Province, the strategic position of the Denglai Navy dropped sharply. The Jiangnan Navy was established, and Daheng looked south to Jiangnan, and the unification of the meaning of unification came out.
Therefore, the Jiangnan Shipyard was established. With the pace of Daheng's going south, the Jiangnan Navy grew rapidly, and the Denglai Navy was gradually desolate. What followed was naturally the glorious period of the Jiangnan Shipyard.
Today, even though the navy was reorganized and the Jiangnan Navy was split, with the prevalence of maritime trade, the glory of the Jiangnan Shipyard has continued to rise steadily. In Jiangnan, it is still the best shipyard, whether it is military warships or civilian merchant ships.
The Denglai Shipyard naturally no longer has its glory as before. However, with the development of Liao Province and North Korea in recent years, the Denglai Shipyard has barely recovered its vitality.
The most prominent one is obviously the Tianjin Shipyard.
Since the Tianjin Maritime Warehouse was established, the Tianjin Shipyard was established very quickly. The backbone of its shipyards was recruited from major official shipyards in the world.
In addition to the prosperity of the Maritime Trade Bureau and the huge demand for warships from the Bohai Navy, the Tianjin Shipyard also jumped to the top level at an extremely fast speed in just a few years, which is no less than the Jiangnan Shipyard.
At the same time, thanks to the special status of the Bohai Navy among the major navy masters of Daheng, the Tianjin Shipyard naturally has also risen.
Whether it is policy support or fund allocation, even the Tianjin Shipyard is the first beneficiary of the advanced products of the development of new schools.
It’s like the steam engine that the emperor has been thinking about, and it has been widely used in the Tianjin shipyard.
In places like shipyards, machines can play a role that can replace human power, obviously much larger than other places.
For example, the progress of steelmaking skills is also reflected in shipyards. The Daheng warship sequence and the iconic Heng ship have protection of important parts of the hull.
Even the steam warship project has been approved in Tianjin Shipyard, and will be jointly studied by Daheng Academy of Engineering and Tianjin Shipyard.
Of course, the steam warship project is inevitable to promote the emperor.
However, due to the progress of the process and the incompleteness of the new academic system, this project, like other projects of the Daheng Academy of Engineering, has always been a trance.
But no matter what, the emperor has always believed that if the seeds are planted, as long as the seeds are fine, there will inevitably be a time to germinate!
