Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

Chapter 683: Complete The \\"First Five Years Of Ming Dynasty Road Traffic Construction Plan\\&

It’s just that compared with the big blackboard [Da Ming Medium and Long-term Development Plan for the Next Five Years] that I saw last time, this time the [Da Ming Medium and Long-term Development Plan for the Next Five Years] has new changes and a lot of additions. New content.

At the same time, Prince Zhu Biao took a step forward and said:

"Last year, Gu and his second, third, fourth, sixth and seventh brothers continued to accept the emperor's decree and visited the four directions on behalf of the emperor to observe the people's sentiments and understand the people's livelihood."

"After this year, I have gained a little bit."

"Therefore, after discussing with my father, Gu and his second, third, fourth, sixth, and seventh brothers made some additions to the "Ming Dynasty's Medium and Long-term Development Plan for the Next Five Years."

"The first addition is - "Daming-Five Road Traffic Construction Plan"!!!"

"The goal is to build concrete cement roads at the national, provincial, prefecture, state and county levels all over the world."

“Among them, national highways and provincial highways are required to be twelve-lane two-way lanes running north to south and crossing east to west.”

"The leftmost lane of this two-way twelve-lane road is a sidewalk; the second left lane is the emergency lane, and the left third lane to the left sixth lane is the outbound lane."

"The rightmost lane is the sidewalk, the second right lane is the emergency lane, and the right third lane to the right sixth lane is the return lane."

"The prefectural highway and state highway are required to be two-way ten lanes connecting their respective nearby provinces, states and prefectures."

"The leftmost lane is the sidewalk; the second left lane is the emergency lane, and the third left lane to the fifth left lane are the outbound lanes."

"The rightmost lane is the sidewalk, the second right lane is the emergency lane, and the third right lane to the fifth right lane is the return lane."

"County roads are required to be two-way eight-lanes connecting their respective nearby states and counties."

"The leftmost lane is the sidewalk; the second left lane is the emergency lane, and the third left lane to the fourth left lane are the outbound lanes."

"The lane on the far right is the sidewalk, the second lane on the right is the emergency lane, and the lanes on the third to the fourth right are the return lanes."

“In addition, at least three lanes of blank space must be left near the left and right sides of each national, provincial, prefecture, state, and county road for future expansion needs.

"Furthermore, because the "Daming First Five-Year Road Traffic Construction Plan" is integrated into the "Daming Medium and Long-term Development Plan for the Next Five Years" in the general plan.

"So in fact, the overall completion time of the "First Five-year Road Traffic Construction Plan of the Ming Dynasty" is only about two years, not as much time as five years."

After saying this, Prince Zhu Biao left the civil and military ministers below for a moment to think.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Ben, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and one of the six civil servants and nine ministers, tidied up his appearance slightly, then took a step forward and looked towards Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Gang, Zhu Di and other princes. He bowed and said with a wry smile:

"His Royal Highness, road construction itself is a big project that is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive!!!"

"And if you want to build national and provincial roads with twelve lanes in each direction, prefectural and state roads with ten lanes in each direction, and county roads with eight lanes in each direction to connect all parts of the world, just as His Highness the Prince has just requested. , this is a big project among big projects!!!”

"Such a huge project will take at least ten years before it can be basically completed!!!"

"And if you want to truly complete the normal construction, Weichen estimates that it will take about ten to fifteen years!!!"

"And if you want to complete such a huge project in just two years."

"Then at least millions to tens of millions of ordinary people need to be recruited to participate in corvee labor, and then build roads all year round. Only then can it be possible to complete the "Daming-Five Road Traffic Construction Plan" in accordance with the requirements of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"But as a result, millions to tens of millions of people will be unable to farm normally."

"If ordinary people don't farm for one day, they may have nothing to eat for the next whole year."

"If there is no farming for two whole years, it means that the people will have nothing to eat in the next two years."

"In other words, the common people who are responsible for participating in road construction corvee cannot build roads by bringing their own dry food.

"This means that the imperial court must afford two meals a day for millions to tens of millions of people during the two-year road construction process."

"Otherwise, when the common people themselves have nothing to cultivate and food to eat because of the hard work of road construction, and at the same time, the court will not bear the burden of two meals a day for them."

"I am worried that this may arouse large-scale public dissatisfaction or even lead to a civil uprising!!!"

At the end of the sentence, Xu Ben, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, couldn't help but feel anxious, fearing that his last words would anger Prince Zhu Biao.

But as the Minister of Industry, he must take advantage of the fact that the "First Five-year Road Traffic Construction Plan of the Ming Dynasty" has just been proposed, discuss the issues in a practical and realistic manner, and tell the consequences of forceful action.

After Xu Ben, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, finished speaking, Ru Taisu, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, also took a step forward.

After all, road construction, especially roads involving all parts of the world, is not only related to the Ministry of Industry, but also to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

After all, if the Ministry of Industry wants to provide manpower, then the Ministry of Revenue will definitely have to provide money and food.

Ru Taisu, the Minister of Household Affairs, also bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and then said:

"Your Highness, Ah Ye also knows Daming's year-end fiscal revenue and expenditure report last year.

"Although there was a slight surplus last year, it was not much."

"And the surplus part has been transferred into this year's estimated fiscal revenue plan."

"Then we made this year's fiscal expenditure planning based on this year's fiscal revenue projections."

"Among them, although there are also planning and preparations for extra-budgetary expenditures for other emergencies.

"But the funds planned and prepared for extra-budgetary expenditures can be used for temporary emergency relief."

"If you want to use it to complete the "First Five-year Road Traffic Construction Plan of the Ming Dynasty" mentioned by His Highness, it is far from enough."

"Whether it's the expenditure on various materials needed to build roads, or the food rations needed by millions or even tens of millions of people working to build roads.'

"For today's imperial court, it is a huge expenditure."

"With the current fiscal revenue of the Imperial Household Ministry, it cannot support such a huge expenditure on food and materials anyway!!!"

"If this is done forcefully, even the five-year plans formulated by other state affairs offices will be greatly affected!!"

Having said this, Ru Taisu, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Xu Ben, the Minister of Industry, looked at each other, and they both understood what the other party was thinking. At the same time, they bowed deeply to Prince Zhu Biao and said:

"So, I sincerely request Your Highness to split the "First Five-year Road Traffic Construction Plan of the Ming Dynasty"."

"For example, it is divided into "National Highway and Provincial Road Construction in the Second Five-Year Plan of the Ming Dynasty", "Construction of Prefecture and State Roads in the Third Five-Year Plan of the Ming Dynasty", and "Construction of County Roads in the Fourth Five-Year Plan of the Ming Dynasty". 》.

"In this way, the manpower needed to build roads in the Ming Dynasty, provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties can be greatly reduced."

"At the same time, after the construction time is extended, the court can also spend the money, food and materials needed to build the road in batches, without putting too much pressure on it and without affecting the

The implementation of the annual plan of the Ming Dynasty imperial government. "

The civil and military ministers at the rear, after listening to what Xu Ben, the Minister of Construction, and Ru Taisu, the Minister of Household Affairs, couldn't help but nodded silently, expressing their agreement.

After all, whether it was Xu Ben, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, or Ru Taisu, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, they had made it very clear.

It is basically impossible to repair the roads with such high specifications as just mentioned within two years.

Because the imperial court's current manpower, material resources, and other financial, food and material resources are simply unable to support such a huge project.

If it is broken down into five-year small projects one after another, then there is still hope that they can be completed.

Furthermore, in the eyes of civil and military officials, road construction and the like were not particularly important matters.

The current road is not impossible.

Therefore, there is no need to rush to repair the national, provincial, prefecture, state, and county roads that Prince Zhu Biao just mentioned in such a short period of time.

It is also possible to regard this as a long-term plan with an overall completion time of fifteen years.

Prince Zhu Biao, who was above the imperial steps of Dan Palace, also nodded slightly and said:

"What the two ministers said makes sense."

Xu Ben, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Ru Taisu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who were bending down below, heard this and slowly straightened up, with a faint smile on their faces.

They said that His Highness the Prince is not someone who cannot listen to advice.

No, after presenting the facts, being reasonable, and clearly explaining the difficulties in completing the "Ming Dynasty's First Five-Year Road Traffic Construction Plan" within two years, His Highness the Crown Prince will just do what is good.

However, Xu Ben, the Minister of Industry, and Ru Taisu, the Minister of Hubu, had just straightened their waists when Prince Zhu Biao continued:

"So the father, mother, queen, and Gu together with the King of Qin, King of Jin, King of Yan, King of Zhou, King of Chu, and King of Qi decided to completely abolish the corvee system currently implemented in the Ming Dynasty, and to implement the 'work-for-service' system in the future. !!!"

"At the same time, we spend money to hire men, women, old and young, ranging from sixty to ten years old, to build roads together during the slack season!!!"

Xu Ben, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Ru Taisu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, were immediately stunned and their faces froze.

What did they just hear?!!

Should we completely abolish the current corvee system and implement a work-for-service system?!!

We even have to hire men, women, young and old from all over the world, ranging from sixty to ten years old, to build roads together during the slack season?!

Are they older and heard wrong?!!

Or did His Highness the Crown Prince not have a good rest last night and made a mistake?!!

Not only Xu Ben, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Ru Taisu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, were stunned on the ground, but even the other civil and military ministers looked at the Crown Prince Zhu Biao in astonishment when they heard what he said.

After all, the corvee system, as one of the most important systems in the Ming Dynasty today, is as important as the land and acres tax system.

It can be said that all construction projects in the Ming Dynasty are now completed by forcibly recruiting people through corvee labor, thereby reducing the court's labor expenditure costs.

Once the corvee system is abolished and the "work-for-service" system is implemented instead, the court's manpower costs will be so high that it will explode!!!

Even if one thing is not handled well, it is normal to directly blow up the entire fiscal budget revenue plan and fiscal budget expenditure plan of Ming Dynasty!!!

Well, I don’t know if Ming Dynasty’s fiscal budget revenue plan and fiscal budget expenditure plan have been blown up now, but at least it has blown the brains of all the civil and military officials present.

After quite a while, Xu Benfang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, finally came back to his senses. He looked at Prince Baobiao and said with some uncertainty:

"Your Highness, you said you want to abolish the current corvee system?!!"

Prince Zhu Biao shook his head and said:

"It's not Gu, it's the father, the mother, the queen, Gu and the King of Qin

The decision was made by Zhu Xi, King Zhu Fan of Jin, King Zhu Di of Yan, King Zhu Ji of Zhou, King Zhu Zhen of Chu, and King Zhu Su of Qi!!!"

Xu Ben, Minister of Industry (Qian Zhao's), nodded and expressed his understanding.

Well, it wasn’t just Prince Zhu Biao who said he wanted to abolish it, but also Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma, and King Zhu Fang of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, King Zhu Di of Yan, King Zhu Ji of Zhou, King Zhu Zhen of Chu, and King Zhu of Qi.

Bo, they all want to say abolish it.

You know what the heck!!!

What’s the difference between this and his Eminem’s?!

And does he want to ask who said it?!!

What he wants to ask is why the corvee system should be abolished!!!

That is to say, Prince Zhu Biao does not have the ability to read minds. If he had the ability to read minds and knew what Xu Ben was thinking at this moment, he would definitely look at him seriously and say: There is a difference!! Fen!

The complete abolition of the corvee system and the implementation of the "work-for-labor" system, which no longer forces people to do corvee, can be said to be an unprecedented step for the people in ancient times.

There has been good governance and benevolent governance.

Whoever proposes it and can implement it smoothly without causing turmoil in the country and society will definitely leave a mark in the history books in the future.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he left his name in history!!!

As for this kind of opportunity to leave his name in the history of future generations, Zhu Yuanzhang not only did not think it was too much, he even said that the family should be neat and tidy.

So when talking about who proposed the abolition of the corvee system and the implementation of the "work instead of labor" system, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao to forcibly add the name of Queen Ma!!!

The purpose is to make Queen Ma the initiator of this decision, so that Queen Ma can also accept the praise of future generations!!!
