In the capital, when the cold winter comes, rumors are everywhere.↖↖Dian↖Xiao↖小,...o&1t;/p>

Because in the winter of this year, there was no snow in Beizhili. As the saying goes, auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Without snow in winter means that there is not enough snow water in the fields at the beginning of the next spring, and agricultural production will be greatly affected.&1t;/p>

Some people say that this is the emperor's massive suppression of Donglin, which leads to abnormal weather. Some people say that this is a sign of chaos in the world.&1t;/p>

An invisible panic that made people linger when these rumors were rumored. Even Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor, felt a little anxious.&1t;/p>

It is nonsense to say that there is no sign of chaos in the world. In the past two years, the Ming Dynasty was full of earthquakes and abnormal climates, which undoubtedly had the greatest impact on an agricultural civilization. When people are unable to eat enough due to these natural disasters, someone takes the opportunity to create a disaster, then chaos in the world will naturally be inevitable.&1t;/p>

However, the imperial doctor at the Imperial Hospital reported a good news to Zhu Youxiao, and the queen had successfully become pregnant. This news made Zhu Youxiao happy for a long time. When he came to this era, he could be considered as starting a family and starting a career, so he would have to have even children in the future.&1t;/p>

In order to avoid historical tragedies, Zhu Youxiao repeatedly rectified the system and management inside and outside the Forbidden City.&1t;/p>

The imperial kitchen is obviously the top priority. Of course, there are kitchens and chefs in the Kunning Palace of the Queen, but the Queen’s food during pregnancy will be fully responsible for the imperial kitchen.&1t;/p>

In the Forbidden City with strict imperial guards, the imperial kitchen is the strictest place and the best treatment. Zhu Youjiao has formulated various insurance measures to minimize the possibility of human poisoning.&1t;/p>

The emperor seems supreme, but in fact he is all human. He is essentially not above humanity, and he will naturally be killed by others.&1t;/p>

Is regicide wrong?&1t;/p>

Obviously not everyone thinks so, so don’t think you are the emperor, just think you can do whatever you want. And the world is invincible.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao, who came to this era, was careful every step. However, this also allowed him to live very healthy until now. Because he insisted on practicing martial arts every day, his mood was calm, he did not indulge in alcohol and sex, and he was very young. Therefore, he was very strong and his energy was strong.&1t;/p>

The pregnancy of the queen is obviously not good news for those ambitious people in the court who want to kill Zhu Youxiao. The ambitious people of the Donglin Party all know that if the emperor does not die for a day, they will not be able to turn over for a day. However, if the emperor dies and there is a young prince, it is inevitable that the queen will have the final say.&1t;/p>

If it were an ignorant woman, it wouldn't matter. But the empress is obviously not an ignorant woman now. Many government affairs are actually handled by the empress and the two concubines in the harem. They are becoming more and more familiar with government affairs. Most of the government affairs in the cabinet are criticized by the harem. Only those real major events are sent to the emperor for their decision.&1t;/p>

Therefore, the empress obviously cannot avoid the Donglin Party forces who want to turn back by murdering the emperor.&1t;/p>

After all, they are civil servant groups and it is impossible to launch an armed coup. Then, during the coup, everything must be legal on the surface.&1t;/p>

When the emperor dies, once the empress gives birth to a prince and the prince is young, the empress will definitely become a legitimate guardian.&1t;/p>

So once the child in Zhang Yan's belly is successfully born, the hope of those ambitious people in the Donglin Party will be almost shattered.&1t;/p>

The children in Zhang Yan's belly also have great significance for stabilizing the regime. Therefore, Zhu Youzhai strengthened the intra-palace management again. In order to prevent the intra-palace personnel from being bribed, Zhu Youzhai once again increased the treatment of eunuchs and palace maids, and at the same time strengthened supervision and punishment measures.&1t;/p>

It will be of no effect to blindly increase treatment without strengthening supervision. Instead, it will make the eunuchs and palace maids become arrogant and may even ride on the head of the master. After all, everything has always been the ultimate in everything. If you improve treatment, you will naturally need to strengthen supervision and punishment.&1t;/p>

After continuous personnel adjustments in the palace, everything became orderly. Resource allocation became more fair. Even if eunuchs and palace maids were at the bottom of the house on weekdays, they didn’t have to worry about food and clothing. All kinds of benefits of birth, old age, sickness and death were included in the royal family.&1t;/p>

If you are enough, you will be able to give in; if you are not enough, you will fight. Sufficient material living conditions will make the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace less conflicts in daily life. It will also make these eunuchs and palace maids less likely to be bribed by outside the palace forces.&1t;/p>

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao's reform measures in the palace also gave the eunuchs and palace maids a great sense of security. Now that the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace have made mistakes, they are all handed over to the palace's inspection team for trial. And whether or not they have made mistakes is not the final say of the nobles in the palace.&1t;/p>

This also prevents the nobles in the palace from being unable to kill the eunuch palace maids according to their own joys and angers. Life and death are no longer the final decisions of the master, but the rules set by the emperor. Of course, the concubines in the palace have been nobles after all dynasties. If the eunuch palace maids arranged to serve them by their side, they will have measures to deal with them.&1t;/p>

What is the service attitude and whether you are doing things positive. There are ratings every month. Rewards will be given if you have good scores, while those with poor scores will be no rewards, and you will be transferred to other positions to do things.&1t;/p>

Eunuchs and palace maids from various departments in the palace have a monthly rating.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the palace will also report and praise the deeds of truth, goodness and beauty, and give additional rewards to encourage those who love dedication. Those who are harmful to the interests of the royal family or those that are unethical will be criticized and punished.&1t;/p>

Punishment measures depend on the severity of the circumstances, ranging from salary penalties to exiles, but torture is rarely used. It is also a system of light punishment, but light punishment does not mean that the deterrence is lost. Exile in cold and painful places, etc., is not much less deterrent than torture.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the eight-hour working system was implemented in the palace, and new dormitories, houses and living environments were built in the imperial city for eunuchs and palace maids to live in. At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also built libraries, parks, bathhouses, teahouses, restaurants, theaters, department stores and other facilities in the imperial city.&1t;/p>

Of course, the eunuchs and palace maids living in the imperial city are related to the safety of the Forbidden City. Therefore, these commercial places cannot be operated by private capital. All commercial places in the imperial city are opened by royal consortiums, and all employees must undergo review before entering the imperial city to work. All items entering the imperial city must also be inspected, and contraband cannot be brought into it.&1t;/p>

The eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial city are now relatively high. The royal family pays them at least eight silver dollars every month. At the same time, there are many high-ranking officials and nobles living in the imperial city, and these people are also high-income groups. Therefore, the commercial activities in the imperial city are also high, so naturally the royal consortium is responsible for it. Of course, there must be competition, and there is no lack of healthy competition within the royal consortium.&1t;/p>

Under these management measures, the quality of life of eunuchs and palace maids in the palace has been greatly improved. The loyalty to the royal family has soared sharply, and the sense of belonging is also very strong.&1t;/p>

Especially for the emperor, they support them very much, because the emperor allowed them to live a good life and could have food and clothing all their lives. When they are sick and old, the royal family will pay for them and solve their worries. They only need to do their jobs well every day and be willing to contribute to the royal love and will have a day to make a name for themselves.&1t;/p>

Once the emperor is finished, their good days will probably end, so they naturally support Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>

Moreover, after a person solves the pressure of life, he usually thinks whether he should do something meaningful and creates higher-level pursuits. Therefore, under the guidance of Zhu Youxiao, the Three Treasures Eunuch became the learning goal of every eunuch who develops ambitions.&1t;/p>

As the saying goes, people are poor and have a short ambition. In the past, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace had a huge gap between the rich and the poor. The eunuchs at the bottom and the palace maids had a hard time. The eunuchs at the upper level also climbed up from below, and were afraid of falling down. All of them were cut down and thought about how to please the master and how to get ahead in the competition. All of them focused on these aspects, which naturally led to the chaos of eunuchs in the palace.&1t;/p>

Now there are various guarantees. And now if you want to get promoted in the palace, you no longer need to please the master, but you also need to have the ability. Naturally, you don’t have to focus on intrigues, but you can realize more life value by serving the royal family seriously, learning in their respective positions, and creating.&1t;/p>

The Forbidden City and the Imperial City were now run by Zhu Youxiao like an iron barrel. It is difficult for those evil people who want to murder the emperor to find opportunities. It is even more difficult to murder the unborn prince.&1t;/p>

Of course, no one can tell whether he is a prince or not, and he may also be a little princess. However, as long as Zhang Yan has a son, he will be the future heir of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

Because the prince born by Liang Concubine Chun is considered a concubine, and the queen is born as a legitimate son. Therefore, no matter which son of the three women of Zhu Youxiao, the queen is born as the crown prince.&1t;/p>

The status was decided before birth, which also avoided too many intrigues in the harem.&1t;/p>

Although the queen is pregnant, Zhu Youxiao still doesn't need to spend too much time dealing with government affairs. The cabinet itself is used to make the emperor lazy.&1t;/p>

In addition, there was no military service at the end of the year, Zhu Youxiao was still relatively idle. So not long after, Zhu Youxiao became busy again, established a fishing company, a canning factory, etc.&1t;/p>

The canned product was created by Zhu Youxiao. In fact, this is a very simple product. Canned products can be produced by sterilization and sealing.&1t;/p>

The material is nothing more than glass products, sealed lids.&1t;/p>

Then put the treated vegetables, fruits and meat in the steamer to sterilize, and then tighten the lid. After cooling, if the lid will sink, it proves that it is well sealed and is a successful can. If the lid is protruding, the front seal is not good, and external air can enter, which will deteriorate.&1t;/p>

In addition, Royal Steel Company also smelted and produced tinplate in the third year of the Apocalypse, and can also be used to make canned food.&1t;/p>

The technology exploration was very fast, and mature technology was found in a few months, so a large canning factory was established under the attention of Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>

Canned food factories are naturally very marketable. There are no off-season vegetables, fruits and meats for long-distance trafficking these days, and they are not convenient to preserve. They can only be marinated, dried, etc. Therefore, canned foods are relatively marketed in provinces across the country, but the main consumer force is those relatively wealthy groups.&1t;/p>

Just like people in later generations, ordinary people are not actually very interested in canned food. First of all, canned food is more expensive than fresh similar agricultural products. If there are similar fresh agricultural products to choose from, why buy canned food?&1t;/p>

Therefore, the main group of canned food consumption is the middle class. When the people are generally not rich, it is obvious that no one will consume canned food on a large scale.&1t;/p>

In fact, private consumption is not very important. What is important is that canned food can preserve food well and provide convenient military rations for the army. It can also provide logistical support for ocean navigation, so that crew members will not be unable to eat vegetables because they have been living at sea for a long time, and thus suffer from sepsis.&1t;/p>

Sepsis is actually not a problem for Chinese navigation, because China has never been troubled by sepsis in ancient times because China has bean sprouts. Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine is not a stubborn disease in front of traditional Chinese medicine.&1t;/p>

However, eating bean sprouts is inconvenient after all, and the recipe is single. Canned food is a good thing to adjust the taste. Of course, eating too much will make you feel tired, but it is better than not eating it.&1t;/p>

The army and sailors can usually eat fresh vegetables, and they naturally eat fresh meat. Soldiers only eat canned food when they go to the battlefield or perform tasks.&1t;/p>

In addition, canned food also allows Daming to obtain a large amount of fishery products from overseas more conveniently. If you want to go to Hokkaido and Alaska to catch fish, it is impossible to transport all a bunch of salted fish and dried fish back! Although these things have a market, they will not be sold at a price if they are too much.&1t;/p>

Hokkaido Fishery is the world's largest fishing ground, with a large number of fish to catch. Alaska also has a large number of salmon, which can also be caught from Hokkaido Fishery, which are active in Hokkaido Fishery and the Alaska area.&1t;/p>

The Alaska region can catch more than 100,000 tons in a year by fishing salmon. One hundred thousand tons is equivalent to the weight of one million stones of grain, and the protein in fish is much higher than that in cereals. A labor force that does not consume meat is very scary intake of cereals because they need to use cereals to convert protein. If meat and oil are intake, the consumption of cereals will be greatly reduced, which can basically reduce the amount of food by half.&1t;/p>

Moreover, the salmon meat is good, and it can be made with high value canned food and shipped back to Daming for sale.&1t;/p>

On the Hokkaido fishing ground, there are a large number of whales, dolphins, cod, herring, saury, and sardines, which can be marinated and transported back to the Ming Dynasty for sale.&1t;/p>

The industrial revolution of the Westerners relied on the large amount of cheap cod provided by the large amount of cod in Finnish fishery. After being cured into dried salted fish, the cod provided the British with a large amount of energetic labor, which separated these laborers from the land and invested in the industrial revolution.&1t;/p>

Hokkaido fishing ground has not been opened this year, and it is not a big problem to catch a million tons of fishing products a year. As long as there are enough fishing boats and fishermen.&1t;/p>

Fisheries can not only obtain fish meat, but also fish oil, fish meal, fish meal can be used as concentrate feed, and even fish bones can be used as fertilizer.&1t;/p>

These resource-rich fishing grounds mainly have relatively high labor efficiency. A fisherman can create food that feeds hundreds of people in a year.&1t;/p>

It is obviously not a problem for people. What Ming Dynasty does not lack is population. Immigration has become very simple under the leadership of the state machine. Even if no one is willing to go, at most, a group of people who are not full of food can be forced to go to Hokkaido. The problem is still the boats, and there are enough fishing boats.&1t;/p>

Those small fishing boats are very simple to manufacture, but at the technological level these days, generally a ‘factory ship’ takes a group of small fishing boats out, and the small fishing boat goes into the sea to catch fish, and immediately returns to the big boat after filling it, and pickles it on the big boat.&1t;/p>

After the large ship is full, it returns to 6 places. This is repeated when the fishing flood comes. During the fishing moratorium period, these large ships can transport the pickled dried fish back to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

It can be said that ships are food!&1t;/p>

Why was the era of maritime power before the Second Industrial Revolution? Just because before the Second Industrial Revolution, productivity was relatively limited, and ships were the main means of transportation of resources. As for trains, they can indeed be transported and are more efficient, but the cost of trains is higher than that of shipping.&1t;/p>

The ship can be built very large, which is not as good as the train.&1t;/p>

At this time, Zhu Youxiao obviously needs bigger, faster ships, and larger shipbuilding industry. (To be continued...)&1t;/>&1t;/p>
