Chongzhen's initial plan to regain Liaodong was to solve the problem within half a year to a year, but he always felt that there were some uncertain factors in the plan, and there seemed to be some hidden dangers. What kind of hidden dangers were, and he couldn't figure out the context for a while, and always felt that it seemed not so simple.

After this discussion, I finally understood the hidden dangers. Although I had deduced what Li Zicheng reacted in the Ming and Qing war, I did not care about what actions Li Zicheng would take after he wiped out Liaodong. Now it seems that before the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Qing Dynasty, as long as the Ming Dynasty had a few big victories, Li Zicheng would definitely prepare for the Ming Dynasty.

Now the three of them have been brainstorming. It turns out that three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. They are also one of these three cobblers. Even if the princess is the integrator of the big plan, they cannot miss their participation! Chongzhen's psychology has finally been balanced. Besides, Liu Bang is a rogue. Zhu Yuanzhang is just a beggar. At least he is a professional worker in the future. If he wants a diploma and has a diploma, he can be competent for his education. Why do he have to be so inferior? Alas! This is not good for three people to travel through time. If he travels through time alone, he will open his golden fingers and be admired in the world. That would be great.

However, it was because of other people traveling through time, and even the Japanese traveling through time together, allowing themselves to put away their arrogant hearts and not be as crazy as Yang Guang.

With the overall strategy determined, Liaodong will not need to be so urgent. Of course, the plan needs to be adjusted. When formulating a new plan, it is best to intersperse a scene of the imperial command in person. Since the last time, there have been many criticisms in the court. In short, the emperor should not have personally sent a command. This is true. Although Yang Guang's "satellite release" cannot be followed, but in person and patrol may as well follow it.

Chongzhen thought that this strategic adjustment was really timely. Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty is still a mess and there is no time to recuperate. If conditions permit, he doesn’t mind giving priority to construction.

After Chongzhen thought about this, Wang Chengen asked:

"Prince, what are you thinking about?"

Chongzhen found that he was in deep thought without realizing it, which was a little embarrassed, but he just humored:

"Haha, when humans think, God laughs. When I, a person with developed limbs and simple minds, will laugh at me. In front of you, I don't need to think, just listen to you."

Wang Chengen laughed and said:

"There is a saying that 'governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food'. If a country governs a country has too complex thoughts and likes to mess around, it is not a good thing."

"Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food" Chongzhen's ears were all cocooned. In his ten years of emperorship, he had many ministers to squeeze out these words. Isn't it just that when frying small fish, don't always flip around? Don't you understand this principle yourself! The Book of Songs says, "Cooking fish will be broken, treating people will be dispersed; knowing how to cook fish will be known to manage the people." Isn't that what it means! But in the late Ming Dynasty it was both natural disasters and man-made disasters. If you let yourself do nothing, wouldn't that sit and wait for death!

Chongzhen then raised the questions he had considered countless times since his time travel:

"When talking about this 'no trouble', of course it is a famous saying. But I have been wondering, if we come here, can we establish a system that can be passed down forever, so that China will prosper forever and never become a target of bullying by the great powers. If so, the rulers of the country in the future can really be ruled without doing anything. How about it? Is there any possibility?"

Wang Chengen showed a strange expression when he heard this and then said:

"My emperor, you were just saying, 'As soon as humans think, God laughs!' Human beings always think that they can establish a perfect system, but in God's opinion, no matter how humans do it, those systems are ridiculous. Perhaps, you can say that there are not so many loopholes in which system, or which system bugs may be less. In short, in the long history of human beings, the so-called perfect system has not been in the past, not in the present, and not in the future. Of course, society will become more and more civilized, and it should be said that the system will be closer and closer to perfection. But we are wrong if we think so! The selfishness and greed of human nature are endless. I really have no confidence in human nature, even if your system is

No matter how perfect the system is, people can find loopholes, or they can artificially drill for loopholes. Just like software in later generations, any software has bugs. Even if there are no bugs, people can fabricate computer viruses and cause your system to collapse. In other words, we may choose a system with fewer loopholes, but we will never come up with a system that will last forever. Therefore, a country will always have peaks and troughs, prosperity and decline. In short, my point of view is that a country cannot remain young forever. In my opinion, we should worry about our current affairs first. As for the future, that is the business of future generations. Do you think we can handle everything for them!"

When Chongzhen heard this, it was indeed disheartening. Humans and animals are just too smart. Take the football circle as an example. No matter how perfect the competition rules are, they cannot eliminate the "relationship" whistle of the counterfeit ball. Chongzhen smiled bitterly:

"Oh! We were not managers before, and we looked at the problem from the perspective of the manager. It felt very good to have policies above and countermeasures above. Now, after becoming a manager, we feel sad. The Tao is 'The Tao is one foot high, and the devil is one foot high.' How difficult to build a system, and reform is even more difficult! But it is easy to destroy a system. A thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant. The dam you have worked hard to build can destroy it. Li Zicheng is an ant. In history, it was this ant that ruined the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. It is really sad! You see, we finally traveled around for a while and wanted to do more major things for future generations to avoid being humiliated by a century of history. According to you, there is no hope of avoiding a century of humiliation. Is this a little pessimistic?"

The princess is a little disagreeing with Wang Chengen's pessimistic argument:

"It's not so pessimistic! Although we can't come up with a perfect system, we can take advantage of this good opportunity to occupy more territory. For example, to develop south, you can go to Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and northwards can go all the way to the Arctic Ocean, and even Alaska can take over. As for the west, Tibet will definitely take it back, and it can open the exit to the Indian Ocean, and then create a Chinese Federation. The reason why Britain was not defeated by Germany in history is its colony - to put it bluntly, it is called the Commonwealth state to support it, so it will not collapse. As long as we support our power large enough, even if the local declines, the entire Chinese world will not decline.

What is the biggest advantage of the Ming Dynasty? It says 1,000, and says 10,000. It claims to be "the land is big and the vast and the population is large. It is a bit of a big and the population is large. It is iron. Our biggest advantage is the population base. The population of the Ming Dynasty is at least 100 million. Some people in later generations also said that the Ming Dynasty had a population of 200 million or even 300 million. Why do so many people stay in the local area? Go out, as long as you set off a wave of going abroad, there are no Europeans in Australia, New Zealand and Canada! Therefore, as long as you keep opening up to the outside world, let Chinese people run around and grab land, and reproduce for several generations, a small half of the world is the world of Chinese. Even if there is a problem in the local area, the east is not bright in the west, and the west is bright in history will never be humiliated in a century."

When Wang Chengen heard the princess’s statement about population, the party’s momentum came again. Although it is impossible to conduct a census or something in this situation, various verifications in later generations can be used as an excuse. Wang Chengen said in a stern way:

"About the population issue, let me talk about the official statistics for Hongwu in 26 years were 60.52 million. Of course, this number does not include the concealment. Before Zhang Juzheng implemented the "one-whip" law, the Ming Dynasty had to draw capita tax and perform labor service, so concealing the population was certain. Because of this, concealing the number must be considered, so 20% compensation was added. At this time, the national population in the 26th year of Hongwu (1393), which was 72.7 million, calculated at the average annual growth rate of 80,000. After 129 years, by the first year of Jiajing (1522), the population should have exceeded 200 million. From the second year of Jiajing to the second year of Chongzhen (1629), the population should have exceeded 300 million with an average annual growth rate of 4‰. As for the registered population in the Wanli period, the number was 56 million, which was purely a fool. The administration of the late Ming Dynasty had already been ruled.

After complete corruption, grassroots management was completely terrible. Do you know how much it was to make up and exaggerate it? In the 15th year of Chongzhen, the household registration was pre-created until the 24th year of Chongzhen - Good! That was seven years after the fall of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, apart from the war and starving people, there are at least 250 million people. Chongzhen is really an unlucky child - haha, I mean the old version of Chongzhen! At his hands, the population reached more than 300 million, and natural disasters continued. Jiangnan was fashionable to grow cash crops to squeeze out grain and cultivated land. The country had to go to war with the Tatars, and money and grain were consumed in military spending. As a result, the food crisis became more and more severe. As the population grew, the grain yield was greatly reduced. This was a waste of life! A large number of people starved to death. Naturally, people would rebel. The war caused by the rebellion made the world abandon waste, and the grain yield was even more reduced. No matter how powerful the emperor was, it would be difficult for him to face this situation!"

Chongzhen knew that the truth party would follow the root of the truth, and he would say a lot of it according to his thoughts, thinking that you are praising or criticizing Chongzhen. Do you know you are off topic! - From going abroad to the population, from population to food, from food to governing the country, well, it seems like he has run back.

Chongzhen felt sad for the old version of Chongzhen in his heart, and could only squeeze out a smile to respond to Wang Chengen's words. Wang Chengen was practical in everything, and he was always a bit conservative in terms of technology, but the princess's appetite was a little too big just now. The world was expanding, and the little girl dared to release any satellite! Let's adhere to the doctrine of the mean. Chongzhen digested the things of the two in his heart and raised it up a little:

"Look, I understand a lot of truths when you two say this. Wang Chengen means to eat, tailor-made clothes, and the princess means to develop beyond the conventional leapfrog development. This is all good! In my opinion, we must not only rely on domestic self-reliance, but also open up to the outside world to transfer the crisis. Now that Zhang Xianzhong has gone to Luzon, Sichuan is almost peaceful, and half of the Ming Dynasty has finally been complete, and the reforms that should be carried out can also begin. First, it is good to hide rich people, but

The country's tax revenue is too low, making the court like a beggar. The tax system is the first to be changed. The second is grassroots management, with a population of more than 200 million, and grassroots management is really completely ruined. The second is to change the administration. The third is opening up to the outside world. Of course, the output population that the princess said is good, but it has to be done step by step. The fourth is to promote the country through technology. I have to see that only by leading technology can we avoid a century of humiliation.”

Wang Chengen and the princess both nodded, thinking that the emperor said this well. It seems that although Chinese education in later generations is very bad, there is nothing wrong with pursuing political education.

Seeing that the two of them agreed with him, Chongzhen's confidence rose even further and concluded:

"The result of my thinking is to adhere to two principles: reform and opening up, and science and technology will promote the country. This can be used as a political standard in the future. As for the political system, take it slowly and cross the river by feeling the stones! What do you think?"
