Theoretically speaking, the population limit of Ming Dynasty should be around one billion—the Da Ming mainland plus the territory of Tsarist Russia, plus the territory of Europa, probably like this.
The problem here is that if you want to feed such a large population, there will inevitably be a large number of people tied to the land, otherwise there will be not enough food.
The fate of not having enough food, the changes of dynasties for thousands of years have proved everything...
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen also had a headache with these messy questions.
In contrast, the remaining issues such as corruption in the administration of officials seem insignificant.
As a matter of fact, no matter whether it is ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, it is not difficult to deal with problems such as corruption of officials, as long as they are dealt with ruthlessly, coupled with the existence of Shen Mingting and others.
After having a headache for a while, Emperor Chongzhen simply put this problem behind him.
Just like what I said to Prince Zhu Cihong just now, there is still time, at least one or 20 years, so you can take your time and don't worry too much.
Whether it is long or short, 20 years must be enough for the cabinet and Zhongji Hall to come up with some solutions.
Emperor Chongzhen once again set his sights on Ottoman Türkiye.
This time, Ottoman Turkey has suffered eight lifetimes of bad luck. In the east, there is the Mughal Empire, which is eager to transfer domestic conflicts. In the west, there is the Holy Roman Empire. The Canal Squadron, and to the north is Tsarist Russia, which is about to go mad.
Four are enough for a table of mahjong!
However, Ottoman Türkiye is definitely not a good stubble.
The Ottoman Turkish Sultan Mehmed IV, who was almost killed by Ozerambu, was born in Chongzhen in 15 years, and succeeded to the throne in 21 years. He was only six years old when he succeeded to the throne.
In the eight years since Mehmet IV took the position of Sultan, the political system of the entire Ottoman Turkey was rampant with corruption and rebellions continued, but it is said that the entire Ottoman Turkey has begun to go downhill.
Of course, there was absolutely no secret contribution from the Ming Empire, and Jin Yiwei absolutely did not stir up troubles—Emperor Chongzhen dared to swear on Huang Taiji's life.
And just last year, that is, in the 28th year of Chongzhen, Mehmet Koprulu, who became the prime minister of Ottoman Turs, executed about 1 people in just one year.
More than 1 corrupt officials, lawless soldiers and conspirators.
At this time, Muhammad IV, who was just 14 years old, showed the talents that a monarch should have.
In addition to vigorously supporting Koplulu's ruthless rectification, the successful general and the people have drawn the attention of the Mughal Empire, which had previously assassinated him.
On the one hand, Prime Minister Koprulu vigorously cracked down on corruption, so that the living conditions of the people in Ottoman could be improved, and on the other hand, it directed the attention of the people and the army to the war.
It can be said that the domestic contradictions in Ottoman Turkey were basically transferred to the outside by the joint efforts of Mehmet IV and Koprulu.
This kind of coquettish operation once made Emperor Chongzhen think that Muhammad IV was also a time traveler.
However, it is a pity that God still favors Daming after all, and only Emperor Chongzhen appears as a time traveler in this plane, and Mohammed IV is not a time traveler.
If there is any evidence, it is the harem of Mehmed IV.
Mehmet IV was the sultan of Ottoman Turkey. If converted to the Ming system, it would probably be equivalent to the existence of Emperor Chongzhen.
The sultans of Ottoman Turs have a harem, and there are not only one or two beauties in the harem, there are always hundreds of them, plus those court ladies, thousands of them are almost easy. Son.
Muhammad IV is no exception. Although he is only 14 years old now, he already understands what he should understand, and he also accepts the beauties presented by the ministers and nobles.
However, just like the emperor's harem, the beauties in the harem need to be served, because it is impossible for these beauties to plow the land and weave cloth by themselves, right?
Otherwise, who would still be in the mood to serve the Sudan?If the sultan had to face the beauties in the harem as soon as he returned to the harem, thinking about how to farm the land and make clothes, how could he provide the sultan with a pleasant harem environment?
Therefore, these beauties in the harem must be served by someone, so that they can serve the sultan wholeheartedly, so that the sultan can focus more on government affairs.
The key lies in the people who served those beauties in the harem of Muhammad IV.
In the harem of the emperor of the Central Plains, all the beauties were served by eunuchs, which also led to the unique castration technology in the Central Plains, and many feudal states could not learn it well.
Ottoman Turkey, who also thought of castration technology, obviously had no talent in this craft, and castrations were often unclean.
There are many beauties, and there is only one sultan who is in charge of planting. The rain and dew can't be evenly soaked, and the servants are not castrated cleanly. It is not difficult to guess what will happen in the harem.
Just like the emperors of the Central Plains had the habit of eating alone, the sultans of Ottoman Turkey also liked to eat more and occupy more, and also liked to eat alone.
In order to prevent themselves from being cheated, the sultans of Ottoman Turs came up with a coquettish operation that no one could have imagined-the people in the harem who served those beauties were all black!
Because the sultans discovered that once the beauties in the harem and the blacks were having sex and became pregnant, the chances of giving birth to a black child would be very high.
If it is a Turk who is castrated uncleanly, there is basically no way to judge, but if it is replaced by a black man, it will be completely different. After all, as long as you take a look at the child born, you can basically know whether you have been green .
Such a miraculous show operation appeared majestically in the harem of Ottoman Turs, and Mehmed IV completely inherited this show operation without any changes.
Now it was a real hammer, even if there was no other evidence to support it, Emperor Chongzhen dared to guarantee that this guy could not be a time traveler.
Because those old drivers who changed their future generations traveled over, I am afraid that they are not at ease even using eunuchs, after all, there is a precedent of killing that prodigal old woman.
Emperor Chongzhen simply reduced the number of harems, only pursuing quality and not quantity. Although there were a dozen or so, compared with Muhammad IV, who had hundreds of beauties at every turn, the number of harems of Emperor Chongzhen was obviously insufficient.
And Muhammad IV used blacks as slaves in the harem with peace of mind, without even the slightest intention of changing them, and didn't even care whether those blacks were castrated.
However, problems in this area cannot conceal the political precocity and military vision of the young Mehmed IV.
As a matter of fact, if Ozerambuh had A-[-] and they were secretly making contributions, the Ming Empire would also deliberately and weakly pull the sidelines. I am afraid that the Mughals really could not beat Muhammad IV.
After all, Mughal was a bit ruthless by the scourge of Ming before, and his strength has dropped too much compared to Shah Jahan's time.
And Ozerambu, who was touted by the Mughals, is obviously not a really awesome character. Several wrong decisions almost killed Mughals.
8 Chapter [-] Guano belongs to the great France!
Occasionally, the candlelight in the palace made a crackling sound, and the breeze in the direction of the inexplicable made the candlelight shake a little, reflecting the flickering lights in the hall, and the atmosphere was strange no matter how you looked at it.
A trace of gloom that did not match his age appeared on his childish face. Mohammed IV pointed to the envelope on the low table in front of him, and said, "What do you think?"
Koplulu, who had read the letter just now, had an equally gloomy expression: "What else can I think? The dog emperor of the Ming Empire can't have any good intentions, and still use sports to mediate wars?
Or, if we win, the Mughals will honestly cede the land to us?Or after we lose, we have to honestly give them another piece of land?
Could it be that things that cannot be obtained on the battlefield can be obtained on the stadium?What does he think war is?What does he take us for?Maybe he's playing us like monkeys? "
Muhammad IV said with a dark face: "Accept them, or refuse?"
After being silent for a while, Koplulu said hoarsely: "Promise them, and we will send people to the ancient Roman Colosseum early.
If Tsarist Russia and the Mughal Empire, as well as the Holy Roman Empire and those vassal states do not agree to him, then we will just watch the show.
If they all agree, then compete with them in an upright manner, preferably to win a few games, and then see where the Emperor Ming's face will be placed! "
After another silence, Muhammad IV said, "How is the plan to find Daming's eye going? Is there any new progress?"
After shaking his head, Koprulu said, "I'm sorry, so far the project to find Daming's eyes has not made any progress at all.
