¡°Bang~bang~¡±
With the arrival of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the streets and alleys of the capital began to become noisy.
Firecrackers were blasting in unison, one after another, like waves, one after another. They just stopped for a moment, and the other side started to be noisy again.
At Liu Jin¡¯s house, the servants had gotten up early and started to prepare for the first day of the new year.
Liu Jin also got up early and sat in his study, looking at the world map, in a daze.
"It's been fourteen years since Hongzhi~"
"Hongzhi traveled back in time in the ninth year, and a five-year plan has been completed."
Liu Jin silently counted the time, and unknowingly it had already been five years.
In five years, because I traveled through time, the butterfly, the time traveler, flashed its wings and brought about earth-shaking changes to the entire Ming Dynasty.
The current Ming Dynasty is far from comparable to the Ming Dynasty in history.
Military power was regained by the emperor, and the emperor himself still controlled huge wealth. The military household system was changed to a compulsory military service system. Coupled with artillery and muskets, the Ming army would definitely have no problem sweeping the world.
The Ming army has been completely victorious in several successive battles, which is enough to illustrate this point.
"Jiangnan Shilin was severely damaged. Historically, the situation in which the Donglin Party was dominant should be difficult to appear again."
"By paying equal attention to civil and military affairs, and relaxing one's posture, the Ming Dynasty's horse-drawn carriage can travel more."
Liu Jin soon thought of the Donglin Party. Historically, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, there were endless party struggles. Even the life and death of the country was not as important as the party struggles of people like them. The most criticized one was the Donglin Party.
It¡¯s different now. After several major cases, Emperor Hongzhi continued to suppress Jiangnan Shilin. The power of Jiangnan Shilin in the court was severely damaged, and now he is very obedient.
The military commanders and nobles group has also risen rapidly and has a certain say in the court, although it is still the civil servant group that has more say.
"But because the military power was returned to the emperor's hands, from now on, the emperor would inevitably rely on the military generals and noble groups, and there would no longer be a situation where the civilian group was dominated as before.
"The fourteenth year of Hongzhi, 1501~"
¡°There is still a lot to do this year.¡±
"The sprouts of capitalism are currently mainly concentrated in the north. This year we must push them as far as possible to the south."
"The economic and population center of the entire Ming Dynasty is actually in the south. If the south of the Ming Dynasty does not develop, the development of the Ming Dynasty will be unbalanced."
"Well, we can't make the mistake of later generations and only focus on coastal areas. The areas along the river must also be developed."
"In later generations, too many bridges were built on the Yangtze River, but the bridges were all too short. Large cargo ships with 10,000 tons simply could not move freely on the Yangtze River, which greatly restricted the development of areas along the Yangtze River. "
"Coastal areas have become more developed, but the natural conditions along the Yangtze River are actually not bad. If the Yangtze River's water transportation advantages can be fully utilized, it will not be worse than the coastal areas at all."
Liu Jin looked towards the Yangtze River and the Huguang, Jiangxi, and South Zhili regions along the Yangtze River.
Such an important water transport hub was almost abandoned in later generations. They only focused on the coast, but they did not know the importance of the riverside.
The Yangtze River connects the east and west, giving full play to the advantages of Yangtze River water transportation. The area it can radiate can be wider and deeper, making the development of the entire Ming Dynasty more even, instead of like in later generations, coastal areas have surpassed developed countries. The standards are good, but as you go west, many places are still as backward as Africa.
"If Wuhan, Nanchang, Nanjing, and Songhu develop, Ming's capitalism will sprout even faster. Together with Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi, the entire Ming Dynasty will develop. Relying on convenient sea and water transportation, the entire Ming Dynasty will The whole world will become a vassal of Ming Dynasty."
Liu Jin looked at the map of Ming Dynasty and carefully planned the development plan for the new year.
The south must be developed, especially the Jiangnan region.
This is the richest place in the Ming Dynasty and the place with the most concentrated population. If capitalism develops here, its speed will definitely exceed that of Tianjin and quickly surpass the Tianjin area.
Because it has an extremely huge market and a huge raw material base, coupled with a huge population and convenient water transportation.?, if he only pursues personal wealth, power, enjoyment, etc., Liu Jin actually does not have to work so hard at all. Liu Jin's vision is to lead the entire Ming Dynasty to the Age of Discovery and the Age of Capitalism, without having to experience the backwardness and beatings of later generations. difficult years.
This is a great era, an era of global expansion. If we miss this opportunity, the descendants of Yan and Huang will be forever limited to the small land of East Asia in the future.
"This year we will open up sea routes to Europe and contact Europeans~"
¡°We must also conquer the land from east to west, bring the Western Region, Central Asia and the entire vast northern region into our Ming Dynasty¡¯s territory, and open up the land route to Europe.¡±
Liu Jin's eyes returned to the land, looking at the grasslands in the north, the Western Regions in the west, and Central Asia. This is also an extremely rich area. The expansion of the Ming Dynasty cannot just be the expansion of the sea. It also requires continuous expansion on the land. Go west. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
