Chapter 626 Ecological protection; this, this is the emperor?
Zhu Youxiao had to admit that time flies so quickly, and more than 30 years have passed in this world in a blink of an eye.
Even Qin Liangyu, a veteran who was still working hard to put out the fire in the late Chongzhen period, was in this time and space, and it was a time to get old and sick.
He was already in the year of knowing destiny and began to think of the ending questions from time to time.
But Zhu Youxiao was glad that in history, he should have ended his life as early as the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and he is still the master of the Ming Dynasty.
Now he is walking leisurely in Huarong County, Yuezhou, in a market, and wants to see what the grassroots level of the Ming Dynasty looked like under his rule.
Looking at the bustling market in front of him, Zhu Youxiao knew that his appearance had indeed changed the direction of history.
So even people in such a small place were still immersed in peace and did not know what war was.
In order to protect local ecological resources and avoid the local Ming Dynasty, which had frequent natural disasters, the ecology was overdestructed, resulting in more frequent disasters.
Zhu Youxiao had long ordered land to be strictly prohibited from filling lakes and building fields, burning mountains and building fields, and was committed to migrating the remaining landless farmers to Taiwan, Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, and other arable areas in the Southeast Asian region.
Mineral resources are also mainly mined outside the customs and overseas.
Therefore, the local ecological environment of the Ming Dynasty was well protected.
The ecology of Zhu Youxiao is particularly good in the place where he is now.
Although there is still a large population here, and there are even many foreign enemies who have been here to travel, there is basically no pollution caused by the widespread use of coal after the beginning of the steam industrial revolution.
However, even in these inland remote areas, infrastructure construction is still done well.
The cement official road is densely integrated with a network, and bridges can be seen everywhere.
Even if he, the emperor, came here, he did not feel any inconvenience.
"Where I ascended the throne, even in the capital, there were countless hungry people! Many important border roads were disrepaired for a long time, and the national treasury was insufficient to make ends meet. Later, disasters occurred frequently!"
"But in this case, it can now make everything in the world new, with roads spreading into a net, and houses appearing like forests. This is undoubtedly because of the more wealth gained from overseas expansion, it has reached the current level of undeclined development. Therefore, the rulers should still actively explore the outside world!"
"In addition, the growing wealth cannot be turned into the extravagant capital of the powerful and powerful families. In addition to corrupting the world, there is no use. Just like now, the growing wealth will be used more to the national economy and people's livelihood. Even a hundred years later, it will be beneficial to the country and the people."
Zhu Youxiao also spoke to Wen Tiren, Lu Xiangsheng and others with great emotion.
"What Your Majesty said is that even if I had never thought that the Ming Dynasty would change so much now, thirty years ago."
Wen Tiren replied at this time.
Lu Xiangsheng followed and said, "I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. When Your Majesty ascended the throne, many people in the world began to think that the decline of the Ming Dynasty was a foregone conclusion and that the fate of the country would die from then on. Now it seems that the destiny of heaven is beyond expectations. Fortunately, Your Majesty's iron fist governs the country, so that the prosperity will be restored today, even far superior to the prosperous times. I am so lucky that I can see this time with Your Majesty."
Zhu Youxiao looked at Lu Xiangsheng, who died in the battle for the Ming Dynasty in history, and couldn't help but smile: "But the evil of human nature exists forever, just like the good of human nature, and it is easy to follow evil, but difficult to follow good, so those who govern should not be careless. Beware that people in the world will habitually harm others and benefit themselves because of the evil of human nature, and make the world continue to decline from prosperity. The more prosperous it is, the more vigilant it is. Fan Zhongyan of the Song Dynasty said that worrying about the world first and then the world is happy after being happy. This is the reason. We must worry about things that the world has not yet been worried about."
"I will remember it!"
As it was raining, Zhu Youxiao and his group prepared to leave the market and settle in Huarong County nearby.
But just as Zhu Youxiao came to the newly built Huarong Road and walked towards Huarong County, he saw a bridgehead blocked by some people using wooden fences.
Next to the wooden fence, there is also a pergola.
There is a table under the pergola, where five big men sit on the table, holding knives in their hands and their faces are covered with flesh.
"Are you guys from other places?"
Among them, a bearded man even asked about Zhu Youxiaolai because of this.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Yang Tinglin.
Yang Tinglin walked up and replied, "We are passers-by. I wonder why you suddenly stopped the official road?"
The strong man replied, "Don't talk nonsense, first the transportation fee, each person has one yuan silver coins, you can pass it after you pay!"
"Absurd! Who asked you to set up the checkpoints and charge for fees? Are you an official servant?"
Yang Tinglin replied.
"Damn, why are you asking so much?"
As the bearded man said, he picked up the knife on the table, then walked out of the awning, looked at Zhu Youxiao and others and shouted: "Hurry up and pay the money!"
Yang Tinglin glanced at Zhu Youxiao and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to pay?"
Zhu Youxiao sneered: "Why should I pay for my country? You just say you have no money and there will be a fight later. You can see what other places the grassroots are not paying attention to besides the powerful families oppressing the people."
"yes!"
Yang Tinglin replied, and understood what Zhu Youxiao meant, so he directly scolded: "Are you violating the king's law? The taxes will be collected by the government!"
The bearded man pulled out his knife because of this: "I still want to educate us, don't you want to survive?"
"Then do you guys take a look?"
Yang Tinglin replied in a cold voice.
The bearded man sneered: "If you don't want toast, you'll be fined, right? OK! You guys wait."
Then, the bearded man whistled.
Not long after, many young and strong people suddenly appeared in the surrounding green shade, about a thousand people, each holding a variety of weapons and even farm tools.
"These should be local farmers. Some of them have mud on their legs! This is what is called farming when they are busy farming, and bandits when they are not busy!"
Zhu Youxiao whispered at this time.
"How is it, are you scared now?"
The bearded man smiled proudly at this time, and after asking a question, he said, "We have noticed that your group has been around for a long time. At first glance, they are a big caravan. This horse is much better than the horses of ordinary caravans! If you know the appearance, you will pay the toll. Everything is easy to say. If you don't know the appearance, no one will know that even if you leave your life here. The mountains here are high and deep forests, and the government will not know at all. Besides, the people in these ten miles are our own people."
"I'll find the people from the county government to ask clearly the reason why they are both civil and bandits. Let everyone show off their official uniforms and ride on horses. Remember to have someone go to Junshan immediately to transfer the army!"
Zhu Youxiao gave an order at this time.
"yes!"
Not long after, Zhu Youxiao and his subordinates all started to get on their horses and untied their clothes.
The bearded man was beginning to be confused. He didn't understand why these men suddenly took off their clothes.
But not long after, he understood, because he soon saw that one of these people, an older man took off his outer robe and showed the yellow robe, while the others were all python robes or flying fish suits, and pulled out the knife.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
"This, this, this, this is the Emperor?"
Chapter completed!
