In Beijing, on the streets of the city, the people and businesses are busy, and everything looks the same as usual.
However, in some well-informed classes, people are already in panic at this time.
The Shanxi rebellion and the defeat of Dorgon all meant that the imperial court was precarious.
In the Forbidden City, Xiaozhuang received bad news one after another.
First, Liu Guangqi in Shanxi rebelled. It didn't take long for Datong to fall. Then there was even worse news that Dorgon was defeated and the 160,000 army was wiped out.
Prince Yu Duoduo died in battle, Baylor died in thirteen battles, and the total soldiers died in five battles...
These thunderous news made Da Yuer have no masters.
Even Dorgon couldn't bear such terrible news, let alone a woman.
"Su Mo'er, send someone to invite Mr. Fan."
Da Yuer who had no idea could only go to Fan Wencheng for advice.
Before long, Fan Wencheng was invited to the palace.
His face is not very good either, there is some anxiety.
"The minister knocks on the empress dowager."
"Mr. Fan doesn't need to be polite, please sit down."
Dayu'er called Fan Wencheng, and did not let him kneel and bow.
Although she has a distinguished status, she is a woman after all. Letting a talented man kneel to a woman will probably hurt the other's self-esteem.
Today is not what it used to be, and Da Yuer needs to rely on these important ministers, so he takes special care of them.
"You got the news about the south side. You said, what should we do next in Daqing to get out of this predicament?"
Da Yuer asked.
This question is too difficult, Fan Wencheng hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer it.
He couldn't tell the truth, because he felt that the Qing Dynasty was out of help, and the best outcome was to return to the outside of the pass and guard the one-third acre of land outside the pass.
As for these places in the customs, they definitely can't keep it. There is neither strength nor natural risks.
Speaking the truth, I am afraid that the Manchu nobles in the Qing court will not be able to accept it, and they will not easily give up this hard-won good life.
"This is difficult."
Fan Wencheng held back this sentence for a long time.
"Is there no hope at all?"
Da Yu'er was disappointed in her heart, she didn't want to return to the customs, the life in the customs was much more comfortable.
"Yes, whether it is military or economic, the gap between us and the South is too big."
"economic?"
“It’s about the economy of the country and the people. Nanjing calls the activity of wealth creation as economy. This term is quite appropriate. The economy represents the financial strength of a country. The more developed the economy, the higher the fiscal revenue and the greater the livelihood of the people. it is good."
Fan Wencheng explained that reading southern newspapers has now become his daily essential activity. While understanding Nanjing, I also learned a lot of new knowledge and new vocabulary.
"Then we can't make the army stronger and improve the economy?"
Da Yuer continued to ask, she didn't need to worry about these things to govern the country. But now that Dorgon has failed miserably, she is already anxious to intervene in person.
After all, this Daqing is her son's country, and she can't help but care.
"It takes time for the army to become stronger. This is easy to handle as long as you have money. The key is the economy. This Wu Changqing is really good at it. We are not his opponents at all.
He not only invented many products that can create a lot of wealth, but also invented many machines that can greatly improve production efficiency. It can be said that he is changing the world on his own. "
Fan Wencheng sighed that he was familiar with history books and had seen more people with great talents, but he had never seen a special person like Wu Changqing.
Other heroes are nothing more than uniting the world and holding the highest power. However, there is no one who can completely solve the people's food problem.
"Change the world?"
Da Yuer didn't understand a bit.
"Yes, he is changing this world. In the previous world, the wealth of the world was basically constant. Thousands of dynasty changes are actually the history of wealth changes.
Landlords and nobles kept plundering land and wealth, the people couldn't survive, turmoil appeared, a large number of people died in the war, the population decreased, the land per capita increased, and the people survived.
Then there is social prosperity, population increase, land per capita decreases again, and turmoil reappears. This has been the case since ancient times.
However, the appearance of Wu Changqing may completely change this historical cycle. "
Fan Wencheng did a lot of research on history, and even combined all the history of dynasty change with wealth and population, and came up with a fairly reasonable point of view.
Da Yu'er listened very carefully, and this knowledge was quite new to her, and she felt like she had come to realize it suddenly.
Fan Wencheng continued: "Wu Changqing has produced high-yield Wudao. It is said that the yield per mu is more than twice that of the previous rice. This means that this land of China can feed at least twice the population of the previous one.
This alone is enough to guarantee stability for hundreds of years. Moreover, they have also made large-scale steel manufacturing machines, making steel products very cheap. It will be very easy for the people to cultivate land in the future, and this extra land can feed countless people. "
"In short, he is different from all those in power before him. He does not gain wealth by plundering others, but by creating wealth out of thin air. In this way, the court has money, and the people will also have money. Unlike our north, the court wants to increase Income can only be exploited by the people, and once the exploitation is too serious, the people will be forced to rebel."
This is the point where Fan Wencheng admires Wu Changqing the most. Wu Changqing has solved the problem of wealth contradiction for thousands of years.
Dayu'er is a very intelligent woman, and I can understand it after listening to it.
She asked: "Then can we invent those high-yield rice, and those machines that can refine steel on a large scale?"
She thinks, this thing is just like other learning, as long as you are willing to learn it humbly, you will definitely learn it.
"Unless Wu Changqing is willing to pass on those knowledge to us, this is impossible. Therefore, in the future, the gap between our strength and the South will grow. This is a trend that cannot be changed."
If it hadn't been for seeing this trend, Fan Wencheng would not have supported Dorgon's march. That was indeed their last chance for the Qing Dynasty, but unfortunately, they did not grasp it.
"The only plan for the present is to ask Wu Changqing for peace. Perhaps the south of the Huai River can be ceded to him, or we can pay tribute to him."
Fan Wencheng said that if the strength is not as good as that of human beings, it can only be done like this.
This is not shameful, anyway, the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, Nurhachi, was originally a slave of the Ming Dynasty, but he rebelled after becoming stronger.
Now that he is weaker and smaller, returning to his status as a domestic slave again is actually not a big deal.
