The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

On the top of the moon, there are stars.

Xiao Rui chatted with Zhang Liang until late at night and shared dinner before letting him go out of the palace to have a good rest.

Your Majesty also chatted with Changsheng Hou Tian Boyuan. As for the content of the chat, Xiao Rui didn't ask. Now that His Majesty doesn't want to get involved in government affairs, he will definitely not work if he can be lazy. The supervisor sent over the memorials on some major events, but he didn't even look through them in a pile of dragon cases in his imperial study. Enjoying the happiness of children and grandchildren around their knees in their later years.

This moved Xiao Rui very much, really very much.

Looking at the history of the previous life and the history of this era, there are very few emperors who abdicate voluntarily, let alone let the prince supervise the country when they are in good health, and they are so relieved to hand over all the power to the prince.

This trust is very rare.

Of course, Emperor Xia has not become lazy in the face of everything. There is still one important event that he dare not forget, and that is military power.

This military power is not to worry about the crown prince holding too much military power, but to worry that these veterans have too much military power.

The Champion Marquis is better, he will be the head of the country in the future, like Chang Shenghou, Zhenyuanhou and other military princes, all of whom will hold military power.

With Emperor Xia in power, they dare not act recklessly. After the crown prince ascends the throne, no one can guarantee whether they will rely on their elders to sell their elders, and whether they will be reluctant to take out power!

Therefore, in Emperor Xia's layout, to rectify the cabinet and the six ministries, the last step is to rectify the military leadership.

Of course, Emperor Xia would not be so ruthless, to use the cruel methods of cunning rabbits and running dogs, he has his own methods, he can take back the military power without seeing blood. But now is not the time to talk about this matter, because the war is not over, His Majesty knows how to use and grasp the timing better than Xiao Rui.

The next day, Xiao Rui hosted a banquet, which was regarded as a celebration banquet for Chang Shenghou and Zhang Liang.

After the banquet was over, the notification sound that had been loading finally stopped, which surprised the drunk Xiao Rui, and immediately opened the system to check.

It was a bit disappointing to see this, and it didn't come to civil servants or generals.

But then Xiao Rui was overjoyed. Although he didn't come to civil servants and generals, he was still a treasure, the "Treasure Ship of Ming Dynasty" from the previous Ming Dynasty!

Daxia's shipbuilding industry is not as good as that of the previous Ming Dynasty, and the shortcomings are concentrated in the construction of super-large sea-going ships. The last time Shen Wansan sailed, he selected the largest sea-going ships in the territory, with a maximum length of only 80 meters. Still inferior.

The largest treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty was 148 meters long and 60 meters wide. It was the largest wooden sailing ship in the world at that time. The ship has four floors, nine masts on the ship can hang twelve sails, the anchor weighs several thousand catties, and it takes two or three hundred people to set sail.

Such a huge ship has a draft of more than six meters, so basically it cannot be built next to land lakes, and can only be built along the coast.

It is very suitable to come to the "Daming Treasure Ship" now. You can build a treasure shipyard along the coast and order the Ministry of Industry to build a large sea-going ship. I have already carried out two nautical trades, and the profits are not small, so this business needs to continue.

Secondly, Marquis Pingbo is attacking the country of Wa. After the country of Wa is destroyed, a transfer station will be built here, which is just enough for the dock of the treasure ship.

Moreover, with the experience in manufacturing large treasure ships, small and medium-sized ships are even more handy, and can also rapidly improve the development of Daxia's shipbuilding industry.

This coming of the system is also a way to take advantage of the academies. A teacher of a junior college and a master craftsman of the Huben Pavilion, he invented the design blueprint of the "Daming Treasure Ship".

In order to promote this kind of craftsman spirit, Xiao Rui asked Song Yingxing, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, to go out in person and reward the other party with a large sum of silver as a sign of encouragement. At the same time, he entered the Ministry of Industry as a supervisor and became an official.

The hang gliding last time, coupled with the current "Da Ming Treasure Ship", the imperial court attached great importance to invention and creation, which greatly encouraged countless craftsmen and gave them a chance to succeed.

This also reminded Xiao Rui that since he encourages invention and creation, and encourages manufacturing, why not further promote it.

Handicraft manufacturing can also increase productivity, promoting promotion will not offend the existing class, and will not make the rich and powerful feel panic.

Because a craftsman is a craftsman, is it possible that he can still enter the six ministries and enter the cabinet? They can only play a role in the industry of the Ministry of Industry, without infringing on other interests.

So Xiao Rui immediately held a cabinet meeting and invited several cabinet scholars.

After the six university scholars gathered together, Xiao Rui said: "I have invited some university scholars here to discuss something with you. A craftsman in the college invented the blueprint of the treasure ship. I believe you have heard of it. This picture was designed. The treasure ship is the largest and most advanced sea ship in Daxia. Whether it is for nautical trade or foreign warfare, it is a manifestation of increasing the national power of Daxia. My palace has already awarded Mr. Song, and many craftsmen have been rewarded. Inspired, and began to research and invent. Therefore, I have an idea. I am planning to have an event initiated and organized by the Ministry of Industry, called the "Big Xia First Science Progress Award". The Ministry of Industry will select the best inventions and creations in the territory of Da Xia , the selection criteria is naturally to create value and wealth for Daxia. A total of ten places were selected, and introduced and publicized to the world through Daxia Daily. And these ten people, they can not only get high rewards, but also enter the industry The title of the Ministry! What do you think, my lords?"

Song Yingxing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was overjoyed and said: "Your Highness, this plan is very clever, and it will definitely stimulate the enthusiasm of craftsmen to invent and create!"

Li Mingchong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, said: "Your Highness, if this move is widely publicized and can arouse the enthusiasm of the craftsmen, will it also kill them and make them impetuous?"

Scholars, peasants, businessmen, and status classes that have not changed in the times, it is normal for Li Mingchong to have this consideration.

Xiao Rui is looking for stability now, and it is impossible to directly improve the status of the business class, so he said with a smile: "So this activity is supported by the Ministry of Industry, and I will not participate in it. Similarly, the Ministry of Households can also hold a 'First Great Summer Agricultural Progress Award', to reward those who have contributed to the cultivation and development of new crops! Fang Shangshu, what do you think?"

Fang Xuanling stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Your Highness just finished speaking, and I began to think that this 'Big Xia First Agricultural Progress Award' must be held, and the Minister will lead the household department to promote this event. Agriculture is the foundation of a country. "Working is the policy of strengthening the country, officials are the source of prosperity, business is the power of rejuvenating the country, as long as it can promote the prosperity of the country, you can do it boldly!"

Meng Tianhai on the side smiled and said: "So, can our Ministry of Officials also hold a 'Great Xia First Excellent Official Award', select some outstanding officials who are honest and honest, and give them rewards and promotions, and even honor them? This will greatly improve the integrity of officials!"

"That's right! What Master Meng said is absolutely true! There is always an opening for everything. There was no such pioneering work before. It can only be said that the time has not come. Now that the time has not come, it will naturally happen." After Xiao Rui finished speaking, he looked at the head of the cabinet. Assistant Li Mingchong.

Li Mingchong said with a smile, "It would not be abrupt at all if the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household Affairs hold a grand event at the same time, and it will also bring greater motivation. Your Highness is a genius, and you have come up with such a good idea."

Cheng Ming and Lu Yuanzheng were also meaningless, and they all nodded in agreement.

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "In this case, then it's settled. You go back and ask your subordinates to draw up a charter, and determine the time and plan for the selection. It is best to complete it before the end of the year, and then hand it over to Zhan Shifu, so that Jia Zhan can do it." Promote it through Daxia Daily!"

"Yes!" The six grand scholars stood up and responded.

After discussing this matter, Xiao Rui said again: "This year's flood season will not be small. There have been many floods in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, causing hundreds of thousands of people to be displaced. It is estimated that the situation will be more serious next year. We must make early preparations. Meng Shangshu , Song Shangshu, this matter should not be taken lightly."

Song Yingxing said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the Ministry of Industry has conducted investigations and reinforcements for the sections of the Yellow River and Yangtze River that are prone to dike breaks, and has expanded the area of ​​the flood discharge lake while the people are at home after the autumn harvest. And dredged the river, Clean up rivers that turn sharply and are prone to silt clogging."

During the heavy rain in summer, the water storage capacity of the river is large, and when it reaches the peak, the embankment will burst. And blocking is worse than sparse, the more blocked the more fierce the flood after the embankment burst.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Highness, the Ministry of Household Affairs has been introducing people in areas prone to floods and encouraging them to relocate to 14 prefectures. The effect has been good. So far, 65,000 households have been relocated. Two Over the past few years, a total of 200,000 impoverished households have migrated to the Fourteen Prefectures of Anxi, almost 1.5 million people."

No common people are willing to leave their hometowns, the hometown is the root.

But as long as they provide sufficient convenience and benefits, they will leave if they don't want to. Staying in my hometown requires a high rent to grow land. Now that disasters are frequent, if I don’t pay attention, there will be no harvest. Let alone food, there will be no money to pay the rent.

Moving to Anxi Fourteen Prefectures, although it is a far away from home, as long as you move there, the state will donate a part of the land according to the population, and then you can rent the land from the Huangtian Group. The rent is one-tenth of the landlord. Can be late or even exempted. So how do people choose?

Xiao Rui nodded, feeling that Great Xia had fortunately occupied Zhao's territory. At the same time, I have to praise Zhao Guo's advantages.

The country of Zhao is located in the center of the mainland of China, with four distinct seasons. The terrain is a plain. There is only one Qijiang River passing through, but there are many river networks, so the flood has nothing to do with the country of Zhao.

Also because of the advantages of the terrain, Zhao State has a high rate of available arable land, the number of arable land is not inferior to that of Daxia, and the population is only 60 to 70 million, and the per capita arable land is twice that of Daxia.

Since the Zhao State has such a good land, why did it go so far as to destroy the country?

In the final analysis, it is still a system problem.

The land is concentrated in the hands of the rich and powerful, and the interest of the common people for renting and planting is too high. When encountering natural disasters, corruption by local officials, etc., class conflicts are fierce, and even the best game of chess is lost.

And when the Great Xia occupied the Fourteen States, all the land was re-booked and re-divided, which was equivalent to taking back the land from the dignitaries of Zhao State, and then distributing it to the common people and the migrated families.

Therefore, the people have land and naturally live in peace and well-being.
