The capital of the Ming Dynasty, the residence of Liu Jin.
It is now the tenth month of the golden autumn, and the sixteenth year of Hongzhi is about to pass.
"Time flies so fast!"
Lying on the old man's chair, Liu Jin looked at the yellowing leaves in the yard and couldn't help but sigh.
One year has passed in the blink of an eye, and it will soon be the seventeenth year of Hongzhi.
Thinking about it carefully, the sixteenth year of Hongzhi passed by really quickly.
Throughout the sixteen years of Hongzhi, the Ming Dynasty was very busy both inside and outside.
Internally, the Ming Dynasty continued to carry out in-depth tax reform, military reform and administrative reform. At the same time, it continued to vigorously immigrate and carry out infrastructure construction. It built several important cement roads, the most important of which was the cement road leading to the Western Regions. , but this road will continue to be built until it reaches the Black Sea in Nanyun Province.
With this cement road, the Ming Dynasty's control over the Western Regions, Hezhong, and Nanyun Province will be unprecedentedly strengthened, greatly facilitating travel, making it easier to dispatch troops and generals, as well as supplies.
Externally, the most important thing is the war with the Ottoman Empire. At the beginning of the year, they were attacked by the Ottoman Empire. The Ming Dynasty's 200,000 troops attacked the Ottoman Empire. They were invincible and invincible. They taught the Ottoman Empire a severe lesson and also for Ming Dynasty gained huge benefits.
The huge amount of war reparations brought huge benefits to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty soldiers. The economy driven by the war was also extremely huge.
The manufacturing of weapons and equipment, the transportation of goods, as well as the large number of slaves, property, etc. obtained in the war also allowed a large number of Ming Dynasty factories, businesses, etc. to make a fortune and develop rapidly.
The huge and fertile land in Nanyun Province is also a huge wealth. The soldiers who participated in the war received a large amount of land rewards here. At the same time, many dignitaries, business houses, etc. in the Ming Dynasty also quickly entered here and began to work in Nanyun Province. A large number of plantations were built here in Yun Province.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Ming Dynasty's territory suddenly expanded to the edge of the Black Sea, and at the same time it obtained colonies in the Mediterranean, which is equivalent to controlling this extremely important transportation line.
By opening up the road to Europe, trade between the Ming Dynasty and Europe will be more convenient and larger in the future, and without middlemen, the benefits that the Ming Dynasty can gain will be even greater.
It can be said that the foreign war in the sixteenth year of Hongzhi continued everything in the past. Ming Dynasty gained too many benefits from the war. Not only did its own strength not suffer losses due to the war, but it became stronger.
"I'm so tired. I really want to find time to go out and have fun."
The development of Ming Dynasty is booming, but for Liu Jin, the sixteen years of Hongzhi were really tiring.
In the past few years, Liu Jin could take some time off every year, ranging from twenty days a month to several months in a row.
But this year, Liu Jin has not had a few days of good rest since the New Year. In this era where there are no legal holidays or weekends.
¡°Getting up at three or four o¡¯clock every morning to prepare for the morning court. After the morning court, Emperor Hongzhi had to call him to the minister¡¯s study room for a small meeting. This life was simply not a life for human beings.
Sometimes there are urgent matters, and Liu Jin has to go to the palace to discuss matters. He is already busy with affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he has established a complete examination system.
Overall, Liu Jin is really tired this year.
"I finally understand why the ancient ministers wanted to let the emperor rule by doing nothing, because it would be too tiring to run a country according to the way of future generations."
Lying on his chair, Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh.
The system of later generations is relatively sound and has huge influence and control in almost all aspects. Naturally, more officials are needed and the work intensity is greater.
It was a little different in ancient times. Those who were officials in ancient times actually had a pretty easy life.
The hardest part is going to court in the morning, but that's because life at night is relatively plain, simple, and unpretentious. Apart from going to bed early and making people, there's nothing else to do, so going to bed early and getting up early won't help. What.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It is a little hard to do it in the morning, to be honest, it is really easy at other times, especially in most things, there is nothing to do, and there are too little things to take care of.Once the basic science development that affects the Ming Dynasty reaches a certain level, these things must be developed.
"It's okay, I have nothing to do anyway. I would like to go to the Mechanical College for a walk to relax. I don't know what Zhu Houzhao is busy with recently. The steamship matter has not been solved yet."
Thinking of this, Liu Jin got up directly, changed into casual clothes and took a four-wheeled carriage to the Capital Mechanical College.
Jingcheng Mechanical College is also a school founded by Liu Jin. It is specially used to study various machinery. For example, the now popular steam harvesters, steam cultivators, etc. were all developed here at the Jingcheng Mechanical College. .
Of course, the predecessor of Jingcheng Mechanical College is Jingcheng Machinery Factory founded by Liu Jin. The combination of industry, academia and research is a practice that Liu Jin has always adhered to. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
