"But Your Majesty, the land in the world is the richest in China, and the people in the world are the most numerous. Other places are mostly sparsely populated and barren land. Even if you get it, you may be sorry for the military pay you spend."

Bi Ziyan said at this time.

"Some land is naturally barren for farming, but if it is mined and sea, it will be a rich place. It depends on how the ruling people develop it. Before Li Bing and his son founded the Dujiangyan, Shu was not considered a large granary of Qin. The ministers who are good at governing are to turn poor mountains and rivers into rich places. I will give it to the soldiers. However, how to turn the opened territory into a place to increase the income of the Ming Dynasty's treasury depends on you rulers. If you can't do it, abdicate the throne. If you abdicate the throne is not enough, you can only give way to the new people and new people, just like the Fang family, to give up the official shares."

After Zhu Youxiao answered this, Bi Ziyan had to reply: "Yes!"

"In this way, the key now is to encourage soldiers to open the edge and strengthen their arms."

Xu Guangqi replied.

"This is easy. As long as you are willing to reward military merits, the soldiers are eager to fight every day."

Xiong Tingbi replied.

"If you get rewards, you must not only rewards, but also optimize the system of rewarding military merits, reward silver, official titles, and honors. Don't limit the highest reward too low. In addition, you must implement a more rigorous and meticulous military merit system. What are the standards for dukes and what are the standards for marquis, and you must also divide more titles. The government has county, county, marquis, and bonfire, and you must also divide more official titles below. The lowest threshold for official titles should be lowered. If you kill an enemy, you can get it. In short, we can make our Ming soldiers actively make contributions on the battlefield and make the men of the world. You either study hard or make contributions on the battlefield. There are more wealth and honors. The official benefits given by the Fang family will be allocated to the military merit rewards. The increased profits each year will be increased in the military merit rewards."

Zhu Youxiao said, "It has been many years since the Ming Dynasty has been awarded the title of prince and prince for military merits! It can be seen that the martial virtues have not regained their former glory! In the future, I will give me the opportunity to create a collection of portraits of the heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion in the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, how dare I be called the Emperor and the Saint King?!"

After hearing this, Qin Liangyu pursed her lips and looked a little excited. She was naturally very moved by His Majesty the Emperor wanted to be named a few princes for his military merits.

"You guys go and do it now!"

Zhu Youxiao then gave a decisive command.

"Abide by the order!"

...

"You bring the letter back to the clan immediately, and say what I said to you, the master. All the young masters in the clan, who have not won the provincial examination for more than two times, will change to practice martial arts and prepare for the martial arts lecture hall! Otherwise, military merits and titles will become a business for others! In addition, if the clan has good military skills, they can be converted to practice martial arts, and the clan's resources will take out part to build a martial arts private school."

"Now that Your Majesty said this, I have realized that the situation in the world will change in the future. It will become a matter of emphasis on literature and suppressing martial arts. Both civil and military affairs will be promoted, and even martial arts are more valuable than literary affairs! You guys will change to the martial arts lecture hall next year!"

"It is inevitable that the Ming Dynasty will open up borders and open up land, otherwise it will cut our own flesh. A new wave of princes and nobles will appear. Our clan must seize this opportunity!"

After Zhu Youxiao and the ministers discussed the future of expanding and optimizing the military merit system, and even used officials who originally belonged to the Fang clan for military merit rewards and dividends, the ministers and ministers in the court immediately began to secretly plan for their clans and immediately began to ask the clan to change the direction of cultivating family children.

These people are closest to the emperor, and they understand the general trend of the court faster, and naturally react the fastest.

The military officials knew that the court was going to open up territory and even optimize the military merit system. Even His Majesty the Emperor decided to be granted some princes in the future. After proving that they were considered the Great Emperor, they were naturally very excited, knowing that the golden age of them was really coming.

Therefore, the scholars who signed up for the Ming Dynasty martial arts lecture hall began to exceed the number of admissions more than ten times.

All kinds of books on military tactics have also begun to sell well, and even stories about Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and even Yue Fei have become more and more popular.

The empire began to become more and more martial.

The Ministry of War’s purchase orders for warships and firearms from the General Administration of Ordnance Manufacturing are still increasing, and the demand for steam engines has also increased, causing the demand for iron ore and coal to begin to surge.

When the Ming Emperor and his ministers decided to convert the productivity gained after the emergence of the steam engine in the empire and would rather convert it into a gun used to open up the territory than give up the application of new technologies and then ceded their interests to the newly added empire population, the Ming Dynasty, the state machine, was destined to start his pace of external expansion without stopping.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Privy Council has written this sentence. Next, we will expand the troops by 500,000 and add an army like a guard in each town on the nine sides."

"Report to Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has written this statement. It is expected that the production of 800,000 flintlock guns, 50,000 six-year-old artillery cannons, 74 warships, etc. will be required, and more than 1,060,000 silver coins will be required next year."

"Report to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works said that the current gap in iron ore is three million kilograms, green alum is one million kilograms, caustic soda is six hundred thousand kilograms, and coal is the most in short supply. At present, the large-scale use of steam engines is expected to increase 8 million kilograms of coal, and the expansion of steam engine manufacturing plant is expected to consume more than 2 million silver coins..."

...

The ministers reported to Zhu Youxiao like this at this time.

The heavy industrial economy is still operating rapidly due to the expansion of its army. Behind these weapons and ore that need to be purchased large amounts of time by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works of the Court, it means that more workers are needed to complete this production task and gain wealth.

These wealth comes from taxes from the court and trade income from the official industries, and will eventually flow into the hands of private merchants through these workers.

"All of them are expected to be awarded according to the vote!"

After reading these question books, Zhu Youxiao replied.

Then, Zhu Youxiao said: "The number of workers and merchants will definitely increase rapidly in the future. The income of landlords and self-cultivated farmers who live on land will undoubtedly become less and less than before. However, food is still very important. I have said before that once the income from commercial tax exceeds half of the land tax income, the world will be exempted from labor service. Now I will entrust the world to abolish the law of labor service forever from now on!"

"Long live my emperor!"

Yuan Keli was overjoyed and bowed down and replied.

"Long live my emperor!"

The other regents also replied excitedly.

After all, this is really a good rule that has never been seen in thousands.

"Even if Wen and Jing were in charge of the reign of Zhenguan and Kaiyuan, there was no such thing as this. The world's corvee service was exempted. This is truly a symbol of the prosperity of the country!"

After shouting long live, Bi Ziyan couldn't help but say another sentence.

"Correspondents have always been a policy that has plagued the people. Many people even died of service, which in turn affects the production of a family. Now that all the corvee labor is abolished, it will undoubtedly make people's lives more peaceful and people's rebellion less."

Yuan Keli also said with a smile.

"But my Han family has always been hardworking and is not willing to be idle for a moment. Now they are exempt from labor service. After the slack farming, most of them will not want to live in the countryside and live in vain. They will inevitably go to the city to work. However, the road quotation system does not strictly control the gentry, but the common people are very strict. Next, the road quotation system must be changed so that the people can freely choose where to work. This can also be regarded as allowing the rich labor force among the people to play its greatest value and make the diligent people richer."
