Chapter 680 Stimulate the economy and get back the railway right?(1/2)

"These fools who are unfaithful to me Romanov dynasty!"

Alexey gritted his teeth and said, then kicked the chair in front of him.

"This is indeed something we did not expect. Logically, his Ming Kingdom was an invader and should only be trying to seize our land and food. How could he pay attention to the lives and death of the people of my Rakshasa Kingdom? Aren't they afraid of spending all military rations?!"

Lovsky continued.

Vysin asked, "Do you want to slaughter all the proletarian Rakshasa people first, so as not to be bribed by the Ming army at that time."

"No!"

Luovsky hurriedly opposed it and said, "How could he kill his own tribe? If you do this, how many tribe members will I have? If the Ming army did not kill our tribe members, we will kill ourselves first!"

"Well, of course I can't kill them. Perhaps from the beginning, I should be better to my own tribe members. Don't think they can be bullied, but ignore their lives and death. I would rather show my favor to the Cossacks and the Turkuts than to be sympathetic to them, and instead increase their taxes."

Alexey said with some regret.

"Since that's the case, why not order the additional taxes are exempted to fight the people's hearts?"

Luovsky asked.

"No! It takes a lot of money and food to defend the Ming army now. In addition, in my opinion, I have to continue to prepare for the compensation I promised to have promised to the Ming army before, so that if I can defeat the Ming army once in the future, and express my willingness to continue to pay compensation, and give out enough silver to raise, it may make the Ming army retreat in the face of the difficulties, so as to avoid the destruction of our country!"

Vysing expressed his objection at this time.

Luovsky replied: "Does I really have to force my people to stand on the side of the Ming Kingdom? Besides, the Ming army has torn up the treaty, why do we still have to raise compensation for it?! This is too cowardly!"

"Now I can only suffer the people first. Could it be that the gentry is suffering? Or is it that His Majesty?"

Vyssin said.

"Okay! The compensation must be raised. Even if it is not returned to the Ming army in the future, it can be used to strengthen oneself! The people will be wronged first. At worst, let officials from all over the place set up checkpoints to prevent the people from rushing out and help the Ming army!"

Alexey said.

As he said that, Alexey couldn't help but sigh: "The Ming army is really hateful! How did they do this? Will they care about the lives and death of the people? Are they really here to save the people, not just annex my country of Rakshasa?"

...

"There is no need to be too anxious to attack military. First, establish a stable rear. All Rakshasa people will first change their Hanfu, then receive relief grains, and then use the method of labor-fortresses to mobilize them to pave roads and bridges, and even build castle fortresses. Using roads as a net and castles as a point, they will divide the various places, and prevent Rakshasa scattered soldiers from raiding and attacking them. It will also facilitate the supply along the way when the army behind marchs towards their capital. Finally, they will start mining and reclaim farming, attracting domestic merchants."

"However, the tax reduction order is issued first to show the kindness of the Holy Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It tells all Rakshasa people that the tax increased by half since the hypocrite Alexey, the hypocrite of the Rakshasa Kingdom, will be reduced by half. However, if you can speak Chinese, you can all be exempted from the increase in taxes and only the basic tax will be collected!"

Zhu Cizhuo issued the latest policy order in Kazan City.

Shortly after his decree was released, many people of Rakshasa took the initiative to choose Chinese.

Many people even took the initiative to uprising and cooperated with the Ming Dynasty's war.

It’s just that this method consumes food, and it also consumes cloth.

But now the Ming Dynasty is not short of these supplies.

Even due to the improvement of agricultural technology, coupled with the impact of the small glacier climate, the promotion of high-yield crops and the widespread use of fertilizers, coupled with the large amount of arable land seized in India and South Asia, as well as the exemption of agricultural taxes and corvee, the production enthusiasm of farmers has stimulated the Ming Dynasty's agricultural output, which has led to a serious sluggish price of agricultural products and even stimulated the prosperity of the wine industry.

But winemaking still cannot solve the decline in agricultural product prices.

Now that it is transferred to the Rakshasa Kingdom as military rations to win people's hearts, it can be regarded as a stimulus to the agricultural economy.

Not to mention cloth.

The textile industry in Daming was originally very developed, and the oversupply of products was more serious than that of agricultural products.

In addition, the wealth of domestic people has increased, and low-end textiles are seriously unsold in China. Now they can be purchased through the government to win people's hearts, which is also a stimulus for the light industrial economy of the textile industry.

You know, most people in Jiangnan rely on the textile industry to live.

If the imperial court did not further open up the textile market, the unemployment situation in Jiangnan would turn into turmoil.

Needless to say, building roads and castles in Rakshasa Kingdom,

This allows the Ming Dynasty's cement and steel bars to continue to increase production capacity while meeting domestic construction.

Many individual businessmen have begun to bring goods north, especially because the products are not high-end or have heavy pollution, the owners of small factories are ready to come to the Rakshasa Kingdom to open up their sales under the call of the court.

Zhu Youxiao and his ministers are doing this now, which can be said to be in line with the current needs of their Ming Dynasty, the country and the people.

Otherwise, the capitalist cyclical crisis will occur because the means of production are only in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, but the products produced must be bought by people all over the world.

"My Ming Dynasty is now like a big businessman who has many commodities but cannot sell them. There are many people in the family waiting to sell goods and make money and buy rice and put them into pots. What is rare is that Wei'er thought of this. He seized the power of railway construction in Japan in order to further open up the Japanese market and create a group of railway workers in the local area by building railways. Then he took this opportunity to establish a Chinese night school, so that these Japanese railway workers directly bypass the Japanese aristocratic bureaucrats and were directly Chineseized! At the same time, they also opened up the market. I guess he was a governor in Jiangnan and really went to the people to learn about the serious unemployment of textile workers in Jiangnan, so that he had this idea."

On this evening, Zhu Youxiao also mentioned the need to expand global market demand to Queen Zhang Yan about the need for the Ming Dynasty, and also mentioned the eldest son Zhu Ciwei.

After hearing this, Zhang Yan smiled slightly: "This is also what your Majesty teaches you, but I heard that Wei'er killed a lot of people because of this?"

"Without holding power, there is no one who does not kill people. Only by daring to kill people can we save more people!"

Zhu Youxiao replied, and said, "However, what I didn't expect was that I just ordered him to be the governor of Zhili and the prefect of Shuntian, and there was something he needed to kill again."

"ah?!"

Zhang Yan made a sound in surprise.

"But it depends on his choice. I hope he can do this, so that he can really put the interests of my Han family on the most important one! He is even willing to give up all his false reputations because of this."

Zhu Youxiao said.

"These princes are raised by your Majesty, yourselves, and they will know how to do it."

Zhang Yan smiled and said.

Zhu Youxiao also laughed: "Yes, they will know how to do it, but the dragon has nine sons, each with different characteristics. My princes will choose different ways when they grow up!"

The thing that Zhu Youxiao said about the need for the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Ciwei to kill him was reported to him by the Dongchang. Those who were interested in the rise of the Japanese students who were determined to gather and demonstrate outside the Censorate to regain the power of railway transportation so that he, the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, could hear the voice of their Japanese.

After Zhu Youxiao learned about this, he decided that Zhu Ciwei would be the governor of Zhili and the governor of Shuntian Prefecture.

The purpose of his doing this is naturally to try Zhu Ciwei's ability to handle such incidents.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, there will be many things in which Gentile scholars like this who fought for their own nation after the Ming Dynasty.

"Give me back the railway construction rights!"

"Give me back the railway construction rights!"

"Give me back the railway construction rights!"

...

On this day, many Japanese students and Japanese workers gathered outside the Censorate.

There are crowds of people.

Half a street congested.

Although these Japanese people shouted the not-so-standard Ming Dynasty Mandarin, they were wearing kimonos, intending to show that they refused to be Chinese.

"If the Celestial Empire really thinks we are a sub-country, we should respect our sovereignty! Help us become a normal country, unify our country, and let our monarch become the real head of state! Instead of colluding with and coercing the shogunate and some daimyos who regard our Japanese as slaves, we will oppress us and plunder everything we have!"

Not long after Muto arrived in the Ming Dynasty, he has now become the backbone of the Japanese students' movement.

At this time, he shouted excitedly to a Japanese student and Japanese worker in front of the Censorate, and waved his fists and said, "We want the Emperor of the Celestial Empire to hear our voices and let them know that our Japanese are bloody and will not sit idly by and watch their nation perish!"

Because the Ming Dynasty is open-minded and active, the people have a high level of education.

In addition, Emperor Zhu Youxiao felt that he was not an emperor from a minority, and because he wanted to rule a subject nation, he had to suppress his thoughts, and he also needed to allow people to speak for themselves for the future of the nation.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao allowed everyone in the world to go to the Censorate to shout for justice or speak out, and the Censorate must report the voices he heard, and no one should stop him.

This can also be regarded as the restoration and development of the system stipulated in Zhu Yuanzhang's "Great Edict" that people can lock in the system where corrupt officials come to Beijing to file a lawsuit against the emperor.

It is a kind of supervision of the bureaucratic system by the people.

Therefore, gradually, it became a place for many scholars to express their political demands.

Of course, there are also many workers and farmers who really come to complain.

Especially for workers, many of the workers in the Ming Dynasty have a high level of education and strong sense of struggle, and have many actions to fight for their own rights.

These Japanese students and Japanese workers came to demonstrate the construction of their own railways, which was also affected by this.

But the emperor allowed himself to speak out in order to listen to both sides and avoid being deceived by his bureaucratic system, and to know the truth among the people. However, it does not mean that he allowed the Japanese to speak out.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had long asked the Dongchang to report this matter to Zhu Ciwei, the governor of Zhili and the prefect of Shuntian.

Zhu Ciwei had already arranged the troops of the capital patrol battalion in advance, waiting for these Japanese students and Japanese workers to appear.

In order to strengthen public security management and clarify powers, Zhu Youxiao issued an order to abolish the Five Cities Military and Horse Office and reorganize the Jinyiwei Patrol Battalion, that is, the officers and soldiers of these patrol battalions in the capital belonged to the Jinyiwei.

These Jinyiwei are not ordinary Jinyiwei, but are recruited by veterans of the imperial guards.

All are loyal and combat-effective.

At that time, when Muto was passionately shouting with other Japanese people to return their railway construction rights with the Ming Dynasty, and even respecting all the sovereignty of Japan, suddenly, dense footsteps sounded, and a large number of Jinyiwei dressed in swaying bodies appeared on both sides of the street, all holding new guns.

The scene was like a group of Jinyiwei holding 98k.

All the Japanese people present were shocked by this scene and became quiet.

"What should I do? They won't shoot us."

A Japanese student named Muto Junjun who came with Muto, couldn't help but ask Muto Master.

Masamon Muto resolutely walked forward: "What are you afraid of? If they really shoot at us, then they can let the Chinese people know their true faces! See clearly that they are the culprits that cause the suffering of my Japanese! Maybe it is really necessary to bleed to awaken us Japanese, so I will be the first bleeding person!"
