Chapter 425: The Great Change of the Ming Dynasty (2)(2/2)

Because the quality of life is good and the pressure of survival no longer exists, some strange ideas will arise in the minds of ordinary people and have the energy to experiment and realize them.

The most representative one is the prosperity and rise of various handicraft industries, such as the watch industry.

The people began to have the leisure to study and invent small objects that were not needed in their past survival, instead of burying themselves in the fields all day long and sweating profusely to dig for food.

Occupying an India can cause earth-shaking changes in the entire Ming Dynasty in the next few decades, and this change slowly occurs in all aspects. Finally, quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

And before this huge change, there was an inevitable pain period.

Fortunately, Yan Zhenzhi discovered it in time and reported to Zhu Yunwen. Otherwise, once thousands of sea boats entered Quanzhou, millions or even tens of millions of self-cultivated farmers would go bankrupt directly, which would cause great harm to this country.

As time goes by, one day, half of the people of the Ming Dynasty will leave agricultural production and become producers and workers from other industries. By then, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty will easily defeat the whole world.

One hundred smart and technically experienced craftsmen may not be able to push the technological leap, but one thousand, ten thousand, and one hundred thousand?

As long as there is enough good leek land, the Ming Dynasty even had the opportunity to reach the production level and technological level of the 21st century in the 17th century.

Yan Zhenzhi and Zhu Yunwen worked together to outline a magnificent and brilliant blueprint for the future of the Ming Dynasty, and this blueprint foundation also greatly stimulated the rest of the cabinet.

No one has any comments.

"There are salt wells in Zigong, Sichuan, but they have not been vigorously developed. The reason is that there are insufficient manpower and problems in development, transportation, etc. Since land acquisition and productivity transformation directions are needed, I suggest that we do a pilot project in Sichuan first, and at the same time, instruct the Ministry of Works to solve the geographical difficulties around Zigong salt farm."

Yang Shiqi's proposal made Zhu Yunwen nod frequently: "We are just feeling the stones across the river now, and we must be both fast and cautious. There are not many people in Sichuan, so it is indeed possible to use it as the first pilot."

"First Sichuan, then Yunnan and Guizhou, then to Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Hebei, gradually advance from these places to the inland, and finally move into major agricultural provinces such as Henan, Hebei, and Jiangnan."

The cabinet members quickly formulated a new national policy on this matter. Zhu Yunwen nodded and the matter was settled.

"Your Majesty will take a rest earlier and take care of the dragon's body."

Shuangxi muttered in a low voice, and then Zhu Yunwen noticed that at this time, the outside of the hall was even dark.

"There is another hour, it's time to hold a grand court meeting. There is no time to rest. Let's discuss it again to see if there are any other details that need to be added. It concerns the livelihood of tens of millions of people. Do not slackew easily."

Both the king and his ministers smiled bitterly, and they simply added a cup of strong tea to continue discussing some details of this national policy.
