Chapter 439 The two dutiful sons of Daming's father(1/2)

Emperor Chongzhen's cheap father, Emperor Guangzhen Zhu Changluo, who only became the twenty-nine emperor, had no feelings for the time traveler Emperor Chongzhen and even the original Emperor Chongzhen. He did not stop after his death, but instead found such a great fun for Emperor Chongzhen.

Generally speaking, no ordinary project has a lifelong responsibility system. Otherwise, if there is a problem with the project after decades, you will often find that the person is dead when you look for someone.

But there are three major projects that are exceptions.

One is the imperial city, the second is the imperial tomb, and the third is the river embankment.

One of these three projects is calculated and is all lifelong responsibility system. Even if the person directly responsible has already died, then the descendants will still bear the risk.

Of course, if there is no problem, then the descendants will be taken care of in various ways.

Yao Siren is not very good at breaking his name. A benevolent person is a crime against the other, and the homophonic is even more pitiful and will kill people.

As soon as Qingling had a problem, Yao Siren was really dead. He also brought Gao Hongtu, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works.

Now it was done. A second-rank Shangshu, a third-rank assistant, and a fifth-rank officer who was caught together, as well as a doctor from the Yingshen Department, dozens of people were sent to Caishikou together.

This time, no one vaguely told Emperor Chongzhen whether the factory and guards could be rampant and that they would have to take charge. Emperor Chongzhen also took advantage of the situation and copied another sum of money to subsidize the national treasury and the treasury.

It’s impossible not to raid the house. The commercial tax in the treasury is vaguely unbearable. As for the treasury, that thing is the last trump card of Emperor Chongzhen, which is of the same nature as the king’s bombing.

Of course, the treasury is about to take it out and cover it, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will really have the possibility of collapse.

In addition to earthquakes and heavy rains, the entire Ming Dynasty was like crazy. There were only two words in the report reported by officials from all over the country: drought.

It was over, Emperor Chongzhen thought that this was the reason for Yao Siren's bastards, so he made God furious, which caused so much trouble for the Ming Dynasty.

But no matter what, God has already gotten angry. As the emperor of these Ming officials, he has to deal with the natural disasters caused by these bastards.

After all, this is the obligation and responsibility that His Majesty, who is responsible and never blames the responsibility on his subordinates.

In the fifth year of Chongzhen, the entire Ming Dynasty was basically a severe drought, and even the construction work of the Ministry of Railways was affected to a certain extent.

Hong Chengchou also began to strictly control the Japanese slaves under his command, requiring these guys not to fight as hard as before, and to ensure that fewer workers died.

The railway construction work has not stopped yet, mainly because the people of the Ming Dynasty are still working, but the newly sent workers to the Ming Dynasty have begun a new task of digging holes in Daming.

Digging a pit means digging a well, which is a new job with high risks and high returns.

Punching a well is not a risk-free job, but a very high risk.

First, you need to determine the well position, and then choose a zodiac auspicious day to start work. Of course, there is no need to worry about these things in the Ming Dynasty. Feng Shui masters can just catch a few guys from the Ministry of Works. There is no need to expect from the capital and nearby prefectures and counties.

When the water is fed, the Feng Shui gentlemen will have money to take. If they can’t get the water, they will move their heads.

In order to get out the water earlier, governments in various parts of the Ming Dynasty burst out with twelve momentum under the high pressure of the courts and factories.

The Feng Shui gentlemen have finished their work, and the rest is the work that the coolies should do.

Then they faced two problems, one was the well collapse and the other was the poison gas at the bottom of the well.

These two problems are fatal, no matter which one is.

When the well collapsed, people buried it directly. By the time it was dug out, it was basically cold.

As for the poison gas at the bottom of the well, it is actually better. After all, you can put a candle or a living thing like the Golden Bibi before you go down.

But what about the poison gas that suddenly spewed out while the workers were digging? There was no way to do this.

Of course, no matter which one you meet, Feng Shui master will accompany them on the road. The only difference is the only question of sequence.

High risks and high returns.

The Ming government promised these workers who joined from the beginning that those who survived after the completion of the well drilling project of Mandarin was completed and would only need to serve another ten years of labor to become the people of the Ming Dynasty.

As for those who join later, the term of service will be extended to twenty years and thirty years accordingly.

It’s just a pity that the workers died in batches, but no one could get the identity of a Ming people.

According to the records in the later history book "The Chronicle of Chongzhen", there are countless labor bones in the countless abandoned wells.

As for the railway where the train is still speeding, the whimpering sound is the whining of the workers who cannot count the number of workers shouting for justice.

It is initially estimated that the well digging operation and railway construction work in the fifth year of Chongzhen have at least millions of workers.

Most of them were Jiannu, the remaining part was the barbarians captured from Nuergandus and the grassland, and a small part were Kunlun slaves and Bainu.

As for the Ming people in later generations, they were also divided into two factions.

One faction believed that Emperor Chongzhen would not take human life seriously, at least he had to let these workers live for a while and do more work.

The other faction believed that the dead were all barbarians, and there were no people in the Ming Dynasty, so it didn't matter.

Then there are some of the ill-behaved remains of Kunlun Nu and Bai Nu, who always try to discredit everything Emperor Chongzhen has done.

Jiannu? There are no remains of Jiannu.

The people on the grassland said that they were descendants of Xia Chunwei, and they were of the same blood and race as the Han people of the Ming Dynasty, but their living habits were different, and the life and death of those barbarians had nothing to do with them.

Especially those white slaves and Kunlun slaves, many of them were transported from the west to the Ming Dynasty from the west to the east, and then entered the Ming Dynasty through the grassland. They were later called "bone burying road" by some of the ill-hearted remains.

Then Emperor Chongzhen discovered that buying a barbarian was also a lot of money.

Although most of the money spent was in the hands of the people of the Ming Dynasty, and then the money would be returned to the hands of Emperor Chongzhen through various tax forms, it would take a long time after all.

It can be short, several months, or it can be long, and it takes several years.

The meat is all in the pot, but I can’t see it and eat it, can’t be angry?

Emperor Chongzhen was very unhappy. It was just the fifth year of Chongzhen, and there were still decades to come. When did there be less work in which year? This money was not enough to spend!

Then Emperor Chongzhen felt that since his money was not enough to spend, he had to pass on the cost.

For example, silk, the price of externally affordable silver rose from fifteen silver per piece to fifty taels of silver per piece.

I like to buy, but I don’t buy it, so no one buys it and just empty the ground to grow food.

Then the Kangaroo meat that Zhu Youjian and others got was priced at 50 cents per kilogram, and the price was 5 taels of silver per kilogram after being sold.

Strengthening yang and nourishing the kidneys. Seven times a night is not a dream. If you like to buy, get out of buying.

Isn’t it just that I just add zeros to the price, and I will play this set.

Then there was Zheng Zhilong's fleet, and the East China Sea fleet that had just been tested and pretended to be in front of Zhufan Kingdoms, which had just stopped for a short time, and the recruited pirates from the Ming Dynasty, went to kill the Western barbarians in Penghu.

Then the next step is the Western barbarians on Taiwan Island, and then Zheng Zhilong continued to transport people to Xinming Island and transported the grain that began to produce on Xinming Island back to the Ming Dynasty.

The East China Sea Fleet must ensure the maritime interests of the Ming Dynasty in the East China Sea and even further north.

In short, there were no official procedures in the Ming Dynasty. No matter who belonged to it, they would treat it as pirates and deal with the goods and return them to the public. The person arrested them and became a laborer.

At the same time, we have to continue the whaling industry that Zheng Zhilong was forced to give up halfway through the fight, and continue to bring back the whale meat and marinate it.

Just as the illiterate Ming Dynasty was not considered illiterate to Emperor Chongzhen, Western Yi could only be considered a half-orc in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty.

Although these orcs have their own set of knowledge, they can also be applicable after they get to the Ming Dynasty and can promote the development of the Ming Dynasty.

But it still cannot change the fact that they can only be considered half-orcs.

There were no foreigners at this time. Any county magistrate in Macau dared to arrest foreigners and beat them on boards. If they were placed in Miqing, they would have to ced the land again.

Half-orcs and half-orcs are different.

Compared with Kunlun slaves, Bai Nu is not a little smarter, and his efficiency in working is many times better than Kunlun slaves.

In the end, governments from all over the country wrote letters to the Ministry of Revenue, strongly demanding that more white slaves be given. Forget the dark Kunlun slaves, it was too stupid and they had a lot of food.

Of course, the best thing to use is Jiannu. Those workers can understand human words at least, unlike Bai Nu Kunlun slaves, and it is difficult to say something.

But Jiannu is really not easy to catch now.

However, the white slaves in the southeast were in trouble.

What about officers and soldiers? At least they have the limit of military discipline, so they have to pay attention to their faces no matter what.

But who cares about face among those pirates and heroes from all walks of life? Silver is face!

By the end of the fifth year of Chongzhen, except for the Western barbarians who lived in the city who were still safe, the rest basically disappeared.

Then these people, or the corpses of these people, can be found on various construction sites in the Ming Dynasty.

If we say that the fifth year of Chongzhen was a troublesome thing that made Emperor Chongzhen unhappy, it was almost the same, but not the same.

After all, there are a few things that are worth making Emperor Chongzhen happy.

First of all, the people of the Ming Dynasty's vassal kings were moved and they all planned to open a vassal and establish a country on Xinming Island, and experience the addiction to being a local emperor by themselves.

To build a country, people must have to be there, and the people of the Ming Dynasty became popular.

Under the instructions of Emperor Chongzhen, various vassal kings began to start disaster relief shows in different ways.

There is no food, right?

It doesn't matter. I have money. I will buy it with the barbarians from Nanyang. I guess it will arrive soon. There is also whale meat. I can eat it as long as it is hot. I can do as much as I want.

Nowhere?

It doesn’t matter, I have land, so I just have a few acres of land for your family to plant. As for oxen and farming tools, I don’t lack it here. If you want to use it, just open your mouth.

Of course, none of the princes of the Ming Dynasty were brainless. Isn’t it for the sake of the people if they were thrown into money and money?

With the hearts of the people, these people follow them to the sea and establish the country will be their greatest guarantee. As long as these people are not dead, their lives will be basically safe.

What's more, when you establish a country overseas, you have to have people if you occupy territory, right?
