Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, founded the garrison system and adopted the military camp method to solve the problem of food and salary expenditure of the imperial army. So much so that Zhu Baba proudly declared that "I raise a million soldiers and do not spend a grain of rice for the people."

However, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, as officers and gentry invaded military camps, the soldiers who relied on military camps lost their source of life, and the ward system gradually collapsed.

The court was not able to pay military salaries, and the fields in the military camps were annexed, and the soldiers could not even have enough food to eat. How could they have the strength and spirit to fight? This was also the main reason why the combat effectiveness of the guards in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was very trashed.

But the situation is almost collapsed, which does not mean that you have to start over.

At least, Zhu Youxiao believes that the current conditions do not allow it. The main reason is that he has no money and no land, and he cannot accommodate so many laid-off guards.

Now it is hard, but you can't starve to death. You have all been cut off and there is no aftermath. Didn't you force the troops of the garrison to rebel?

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao was not prepared to let go of the military officers, gentry, bureaucrats and bullies who infringed on the fields.

Oh, if you embezzle it, you will embezzle it. In the end, the imperial court abolished the garrison system and the fields will belong to your family? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world?

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao wanted to "clear the garrison" and distribute the cleared fields to the garrison soldiers to resettle them so as to prevent any civil unrest, even the garrison soldiers rebelled.

Of course, the privatization of military camps has accumulated too many problems and involves all aspects of interests. It can be said that it is complicated and can affect the whole body with one blow.

Especially the officials in charge of "Qingtun" are equivalent to being enemies with local officials, gentry and landlords. The forces united by these local snakes are quite powerful.

It was precisely because of the arduousness of "Qingtun" that Zhu Youxiao sent Zuo Guangdou, Fang Zhenru and other big stubborn people, and soon Yang Lian, to the place to do this thankless work.

"Qingtun" has huge resistance, but the returns are obvious. It can be said to be a good solution to the current financial shortage.

In history, Sun Chuanting was authorized by Chongzhen (he was so poor that he had no money, so he could only give him policies), held high the banner of "ancestor system", claiming that "the land cannot be lost, and the grain cannot be lost", and frantically collected military land according to the volume.

As a result, Sun Chuanting only had one item in Qingtun, and in three years he received a total of more than 450,000 taels of color and 50,000 stones of natural rice, wheat and beans. With this food and salary, he trained a powerful army - the "Qin Army".

You know, that is in Shaanxi, not the wealthy Jiangnan, with limited land production and the impact of the Little Ice Age.

To this end, Sun Chuanting also reported happily that he had selflessly imparted his precious experience to Emperor Chongzhen, who was so poor that he hoped to promote it everywhere.

The effect is significant, but the consequences are serious.

Sun Chuanting did this, which was equivalent to offending all the civil and military officials in the court. After impeachment, Chongzhen's hypocrisy was committed again, and Sun Chuanting was imprisoned and questioned, and ordered the cessation of the Qing treasury and the replenishment of funds was stopped.

Alas, this Chongzhen is really worried.

If you are afraid of being criticized, then find a few Sun Chuanting to do something like this! The country is about to perish and everyone is about to die. You are still considering the mess and it will be done.

"According to the ancestral system: the garrison stations should not lose a mu of land, and the grain should not be lost..." Zhu Youxiao took a pen and wrote a reply to Zuo Guangdou, which was just a matter of confidence.

After writing the reply, Zhu Youxiao felt that it was not enough, so he dictated: "The decree was written: Zuo Guangdou was appointed as the right censor, the military preparation was prepared by Sun Chuanting and the censor, the military preparation was inspected, the new army was trained..."

The imperial edict has been issued and the official has been added. You roll up your sleeves and work hard. Don’t spoil anyone, I believe you!

Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period, the emperor decided to implement various policies.

Although the administration of government is corrupt and the implementation of policies should be reduced, it is still possible to succeed with the iron fist of Sun Chuanting without causing large-scale unrest.

Rebellion? Officials and gentry, they dare not, and they are afraid of being labeled as such! That is the end of a family being cut off, let alone the land and property, they have lost their heads.

Now he has just cleared out, and has not confiscated his home and punished him, nor has he forced anyone to a dead end. Who dares to risk extermination of his clan?

Now is the second year of Tianqi, not the more than ten years of Chongzhen. If you join the peasant army, you invest in the Later Jin Dynasty, you will be considered as my loss.

This is Zhu Youxiao's consideration, so he dared to be so bold.

In the next reform, what is the clearance? If you can’t even take this step, it’s better to stay in the palace and let the dynasty collapse and get lost together!

Two years, three years, four years, five years, six years, seven years; well, it was only more than five years since the severe drought in Chongzhen in history.

Zhu Youxiao calculated again with his fingers, reminding himself again, leaving not much time for himself to innovate and revitalize.

Although Chongzhen had to hold on for seventeen years, it was almost a death penalty by then. It was a copy of natural disasters, man-made disasters, internal and external troubles, and hell difficulty!

When, when, when... the sound of the sound of the sound of the self-sounding bell made Zhu Youxiao raise his head.

Whenever the time was about to be heard, Zhang Yuer would blink her big eyes and stare at the ringing bell.

As soon as the bell rang, the girl opened her mouth and showed a cheerful smile. Her head was still counting the hours of the time.

Simple and happy, I don’t know what kind of pleasant and unique effect is that just a self-sounding bell can tell the time.

Zhu Youxiao was infected by the girl's innocent smile. Although he knew that this was stupid, he couldn't help but pursed the corners of his lips.

Zhang Yuer turned her face until the time was over, but saw Hexi's gaze that the emperor bet. The girl lowered her eyes slightly and said stutteringly, "Your Majesty, it's eight o'clock!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly and said, "Go and rest. I have to write something. Just have Liu Ruoyu in front of you."

"I'm not tired." Zhang Yu'er obediently walked behind the emperor and reached out to hold the emperor's shoulders.

Zhu Youxiao gently patted the girl's little hand, and the leaning position was even more relaxed, his eyes were half open and half closed, and he said to Liu Ruoyu: "I tell you orally, you can record it!"

Liu Ruoyu responded, spread paper and picked up the pen, and listened quietly.

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and spoke slowly, "Reply to Xu Qing: As the "Divine Artifacts" says: Iron smelting, charcoal is the best, charcoal is expensive in the north, and coal fire has to be replaced by coal fire, so there are often many explosions. I think about it, and can use coke test..."

The coal contains harmful elements such as thiophosphate and other harmful elements, which are directly used to make steel and iron, will definitely affect the quality and the performance of the guns and cannons.

Zhu Youxiao still understands this.

But what he didn't understand was: According to research, there was evidence of using coke during the Song Dynasty, but in the Ming Dynasty, why didn't anyone understand it?

There are also swords made during the Han and Tang dynasties, which ranked among the best in the world. In the Ming Dynasty, why were they overtaken by the Japanese?

Zhu Youxiao carefully explained the words and could not say anything too profound.

What does carbon content determine whether it is iron or steel, soft or hard? With the eagerness of Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua and others, why don’t you bother yourself to death?

Besides, I am an emperor in the deep palace. I can’t explain clearly why I understand these things!

Well, I have to compile this book, just say that I have obtained by chance, so that the Ming Dynasty's technology can develop leap forward, surpassing the red barbarians and Western barbarians.

Zhu Youxiao touched his stomach and felt that there was too much knowledge here and it was almost like he was about to emerge.
