Taichang is such a person. He will give back twice as much to anyone who wants to treat him. He will give back twice as much to anyone who wants to treat him badly.

The same is true for him to govern the country. Whoever wants to truly be devoted to the Ming Dynasty and treat himself as the people of the Ming Dynasty will try every means to make everyone live a good life.

Anyone who wants to be unable to get along with the Ming Dynasty will deal with him.

Jiannu wanted to seize the Ming Dynasty, so he directly destroyed Jiannu.

The Japanese pirates in Japan were ambitious and had been spying on the thousands of miles of the Ming Dynasty, so he also destroyed Japan.

The continental colonial robbers wanted to turn the Ming Dynasty into their colony, so they robbed all their colonies and chased them and fought them all the way to America.

If possible, he would fight to the continent and directly destroy these colonial robbers!

This is his principle.

Now, the Indian tribes all know how to be grateful and regard themselves as their people of the Ming Dynasty. They must try every means to let others live a good life.

Question, how can we make our lives a good life? Do we rely solely on the development of the planting industry and animal husbandry industry?

There is no problem with this solution to food and clothing.

However, if you want to live a truly good life, it is really not possible to rely on the planting industry and animal husbandry alone.

To put it bluntly, these two businesses are physical work. Without enough mechanical farming, farming is quite tiring.

As for the breeding industry, basically machinery cannot help much, at least it is unlikely to develop a special machine for the breeding industry at this time.

Most of the things in the breeding industry now have to rely on manpower.

For example, herding cattle and sheep.

There is no mechanical replacement for this kind of thing. You can only rely on people to watch it day and night. No matter the sun and rain, you have to watch it.

Actually, this is nothing.

Animal Husbandry gives people the feeling that it is just about shedding cattle and sheep. It seems very easy. If it really reaches the scale, it will be more tiring than farming.

If a family raises thousands or even tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, it will be exhausting to death.

Not to mention anything else, the feces in these livestock only have to be cleaned up every day, but they are piles of feces!

Also, delivering cubs is even more exhausting.

If you let it go, the survival rate will be low, and a few cubs will suffer heavy losses.

If you want to care, you have to keep an eye on it. It’s a small amount of time to work for a few hours. It’s a few hundred, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people. That’s not to be exhausted!

Therefore, the planting industry and the breeding industry are tiring tasks.

Unless it can develop to the high technology of future generations and use machinery to replace manpower as much as possible, otherwise, individuals who are exhausted will not gain much.

Just like now, the Indian tribe has a population of more than 80 million mu of land, and looking at hundreds of millions of acres of pastures, it is already tiring enough.

How much can they gain?

If the Ming Dynasty did not help, each of them would not earn a single tael of silver a year on average!

Even if Daming helps, how much income can they increase?

They bought all the excess food for them, which was 100 million stones, which was only 20 million taels.

They bought all the raw cowhide they produced, which cost ten million pieces a year, only five million taels.

In other words, their current annual income from planting and animal husbandry is only 25 million taels, which is not counted as freight.

Two hundred and fifteen million taels, which is divided into six or seven million people, and on average, each person is only four taels of silver.

This is all the income they can earn in a year of busy work.

I work hard in a year, and each person earns an average of four taels of silver. Is it more?

If it were the algorithms of later generations, it would be that the per capita income of more than 2,000 yuan per year would be extremely poor!

Question, how to make them rich?

Let them grow more land and raise more cattle, sheep and horses. This is a way.

But this is not a good idea.

They now have more than ten acres of land per capita, and a family of four is more than fifty acres of land. They also have to herd cattle and raise horses, which is almost the limit of manpower.

If they have multiple places, they have to ask for people or help them create a large number of farming machinery.

This takes time, and not a little time.

People are not allowed to be invited just by asking for it. Now, the Ming Dynasty needs labor everywhere, and even if they are willing to hire people, they cannot hire too many people.

Unless they are helping them transport labor to Africa.

Problem, Daming has no plans to manage Africa at this moment, and it is impossible to achieve this in a short period of time.

The rest seems to be able to help them build a large number of farming machinery.

Problem, this thing is not something that can be created casually, nor is it something that can be created by individuals.

If you want to build farming machinery, factories, machine tools, and skilled workers, it is essential.

None of these can be rushed.

The Ming Dynasty is short of farming machinery now, so I can help them build it. When will I go there?

Taichang was sitting there frowning and pondering, when Cao Huachun suddenly bowed and walked in and said carefully: "Emperor, Mr. Peng Bin, Minister of Works, asked for a visit."

This guy is finally back!

Taichang immediately waved his hand and said, "Hurry, pass."

Soon, Peng Bin walked in quickly, bowed and said, "I am going to see the emperor."

Taichang nodded slightly, then asked impatiently: "Yan Ru, how is the canal being built?"

This water and land transportation is very important for local development. If you want to be rich, you should build roads first. Even the roads are not accessible, so it is naturally difficult to get rich.

Peng Bin was stunned when he heard this.

How do you say this?

He was stunned for a moment, and then he said carefully: "Master, do you have a North American map?"

Of course this one has it.

Taichang waved his hand directly, and Cao Huachun took out a roll of North America map and spread it on the desk in front of him.

He immediately waved his hand and said, "Come on, Yan Ru, talk to me."

Peng Bin quickly bowed forward and pointed to the map and introduced: "Your Majesty, the river channel connecting Xindongting Lake, Xinqingcao Lake, Xinpoyang Lake and Xinpengze Lake has been sorted out and can be opened to navigation.

Canals were built in places where the rivers were not connected between these four lakes, so the water system of these four lakes was considered to be connected, and there was no problem with merchant ships with a capacity of about two thousand materials.

At the same time, the river channel between Xinqingcao Lake and Xinliao River has been cleared. Now large merchant ships can go upstream from Xinliaoyang City, directly along the Xinliao River main road, pass through the Qingliao River, and enter the four major lake systems."

very good!

When Taichang heard this, he couldn't help but nodded repeatedly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, it's really not easy to connect the four major lakes and the New Liao River system so quickly."

Peng Bin said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, in fact, these are nothing, because these places are almost connected with natural rivers, and there are very few places that need to be built in canals. Weichen organized people to clean up the river, but there were not many real canals dug.

However, this new Taihu Lake is a bit troublesome.

Because the height of the lake surface of Xintai Lake is thirty or forty feet different from the other four major lakes.

There was originally a river channel connecting Xintai Lake and Xinpengze Lake, but there were several waterfalls several meters high in the middle of the river, so it was impossible to sail at all.

Moreover, there is no way to build a canal between the two large lakes.

Weichen had no choice but to clear the river channel between Xintai Lake and Yishui River, so that the Xintai Lake and the ocean to the west would first connect it."

Well, the water surface height is hundreds of meters apart, so it is really impossible to build a canal, at least there is no way to do it now.

In the future, if you can build a huge lock, there may be a way.

Taichang nodded slightly, then asked again: "What about the traffic between the East Coast and the West Coast? I heard that you have resolved it."

Peng Bin hurriedly pointed to the map and introduced: "Yes, the emperor, I ordered people to build the railway from the Dongyin capital to the banks of the Yishui River, and then build it south along the east coast from the banks of the Yishui River. Now it is almost time to build it to Dongqi Kingdom.

There should be no big problem with the transportation between the east and west coasts of North America now, but the transportation capacity may not be enough."

It's already great to be able to do this in more than a year.

Taichang nodded slightly, then asked again: "Yan Ru, what are you busy with during this period? Youping said you can't see you."

Upon hearing this, Peng Bin hurriedly pointed to the location where the open-pit iron ore was discovered and said, "Your Majesty, isn't there a huge open-pit iron ore here? It's now started to mine, but it's not very convenient to transport the mined iron ore to Liaoyang City.

Therefore, Weichen is organizing people to build railways there, and use the railway to connect both ends of the iron ore to the Xinliao River and Xindongting Lake. In this way, it will be much more convenient to transport iron ore."

Open-pit iron ore?

By the way, he promised that all the minerals discovered in North America would be mined jointly by the Ming and Indian tribes, and the profit would be half the share.

If the profit is distributed to others, the Indian tribe will soon become rich.

Thinking of this, he asked again: "These minerals have not been calculated yet after they are mined, right?"

Peng Bin nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Master, the open-pit iron ore and open-pit coal mine have not been fully developed yet, and there are no officials from the Ministry of Revenue here, so we didn't count the money and just use it after mining it."

It would definitely not work if you continue to do it in such a mess.

It seems that the original promise should be fulfilled.
Chapter completed!
