The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 279
For the military parade, Zhu Ying is quite confident.

Even if it was a little bit close, the neat square team, the shock that appeared for the first time, the effect must be no problem.

The current next step is to focus on business.

In the 25th year of Hongwu, on September 27, it was sunny.

Zhu Ying took Ye Yueqing along the streets beside the Qinhuai River, towards Ping'an Tea House.

The pedestrians on the side of the road were still extremely lively, but Zhu Ying's mood was completely different.

It took only a few months to come to the capital, but for Zhu Ying, it was a completely different world.

Sometimes the changes of things are really unpredictable, no matter how well thought out the plan is, the changes will not come as quickly.

"When I first came to the capital, I didn't think about it, so I just stayed."

"At first, I thought that I would go to Annan in two months at most, but I didn't realize that things are unpredictable."

Zhu Ying said with some sighs.

Ye Yueqing also knew about these things, especially for Annan's plan, it can be said that Zhu Ying spent too much thought.

The situation at that time was that Zhu Ying was planning to dispatch all the forces directly under him to Annan.

The core members are more or less aware of Annan's plan.

"Your Highness, it shouldn't be long before Annan's side arrives." Ye Yueqing said softly.

This time, there was no Bingbi eunuch Guo Zhong, and Zhang San also secretly protected him, and Song Zhong of Jin Yiwei did not follow.

This caused a slight ripple in Ye Yueqing's heart.

Hearing this, Zhu Ying immediately became interested, and said with a smile: "That guy Liu Sheng, he should be full of fighting spirit now, I hope he won't let me down over there, and he can make something happen."

"Now I can't go by myself, he will go for me, it's about the same."

After pondering for a while, Zhu Ying ordered: "You send a letter to Liu Sheng later, so that Liu Sheng can move a little faster. Now, on Daming's side, probably next year, those crops can be popularized."

"But rice and wheat are the key to my Han people's love. Sweet potatoes can only solve hunger. The environment in Annan is extremely favorable for the growth of rice."

"The cultivation of rice can often be harvested three or even four times a year. For all the places where rice can be grown, we must first find a way to occupy it. As for the means, it is up to him."

"In the rice-growing areas with these advantages, the livelihood security of the [-] troops will no longer be a problem. Maybe at that time, Annan's food can be fed back to Daming."

For Annan's rice, Zhu Ying can be said to have coveted it for a long time. Now that [-] troops have passed by, and the team is still led by a senior disciple, no matter what happens, he has to reap the benefits.

Chatting and chatting, the two soon came to Ping An Tea House.

This is the place where Zhu Ying first gained a foothold in the capital, and it is also the place where he and the old man first got to know each other.

At present, the business of the tea house has not been bad. Even if it is not a meal, the lobby of the tea house is full of people, and there is even a queue for packing.

The sharp-eyed boy in front saw Zhu Ying from a long distance away, and ran in to report to Uncle Zhang without caring about business.

When Zhu Ying arrived at the door of Pingna Tea House, Uncle Zhang, dressed in brocade, had already appeared at the door to greet her.

"Master."

Hearing this name, Zhu Ying really felt like a dream. It seemed that he hadn't heard anyone mention it for a long time.

After a little dazed, Zhu Ying walked in, went up the stairs, and went straight to the second floor.

It was my favorite place to sit by the window, where I could see the bustling streets.

"I came here this time to explain a few things to you." Zhu Ying said.

Uncle Zhang bowed and said, "My master has a lot of affairs to deal with every day. For some trivial matters, I just need to send someone over to say hello. How can I bother my master to go there in person?"

Zhu Ying shook her head slightly and said: "I stayed in the palace for a long time, so I went out for a walk along the way to see the fireworks in the world. Besides, the arrangement this time is not something that can be understood in a few words. Face to face Speak clearly."

"Yes, Master." Zhang Bogong said.

Zhu Ying then laughed and said, "This time there are three main things. The first thing is that I have a very close relationship with you."

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang was a little puzzled, but he didn't make a sound, waiting for his boss' explanation.

Zhu Ying didn't make a fuss, and said directly: "Yesterday, I discussed with my grandfather that the current accounts of the chamber of commerce and its income are going to be included in the palace funds. This means that in the future, Uncle Zhang will be able to govern The accounts of domestic funds are more or less an official status."

Hearing Zhu Ying's words, Zhang Bo was overjoyed at first, but then he began to struggle.

But after a short hesitation, Uncle Zhang had an expression of resignation to death, and said in a deep voice, "But it's up to the boss's arrangement."

Seeing this, Zhu Ying frowned slightly and asked, "Don't Zhang Bo like it?"

Uncle Zhang said firmly: "Since it is the master's arrangement, this old slave must naturally obey. Besides, now that this old slave has sons and grandchildren, even if he gets stabbed, it will not be a big deal."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying laughed suddenly and said, "What are you thinking, I can still let Uncle Zhang enter the palace to be that eunuch."

Zhang Bo is a Jurchen tribe in the East China Sea who advocates force.

For such a man, he would rather die than become an eunuch.

But today's Zhang Bo is willing to give up his beliefs for Zhu Ying. In other words, Zhu Ying has become Zhang Bo's beliefs.

In the past, Zhang Bo's tribe, with no more than a thousand people, faced starvation, death, and precarious days every year.

Since following Zhu Ying, life in the tribe has gotten better and better.

Donghai Jurchen, also known as Wild Jurchen, does not have much cultural heritage. For them, whoever feeds their clansmen can be loyal to them.

After following these years, Uncle Zhang witnessed with his own eyes that the life of the tribe is getting better and better, and all the tribe members begin to have hope in their hearts.

The young and strong clansmen wish to join the Zhuying Chamber of Commerce's guards as their greatest wish. Uncle Zhang himself is also Zhu Ying's personal guard.

It's just a knife, it's no big deal, as long as he can repay the kindness of his master, even if he scrapes his body, it doesn't matter.

Zhang Bo said in a deep voice: "Master, this old servant knows the rules of the palace, and the only ones who can stay in the palace are court ladies and officials. This is the rule, the rule of the Ming Dynasty."

"My boss can't break this rule for the sake of this old slave. It's not worth it or necessary."

Zhang Bo's voice was sonorous and powerful, expressing the determination in his heart.

Zhu Ying, who heard this, became more and more satisfied with Uncle Zhang, and said again: "Uncle Zhang, I never said that I let you enter the palace. There are so many things in this Chamber of Commerce, how can you enter the palace to enjoy leisure?" You have to continue to work hard for me."

"Our chamber of commerce has only been in Daming for how long. Although the current form is not bad, it has not really taken root after all. What's the matter, where is this going? You are going to retreat behind the scenes?"

Uncle Zhang was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect to be wrong.

Zhu Ying didn't get entangled at this time, and said: "The most important thing when you come here this time is that you need to find a few places, which should be spacious and can accommodate many people. I plan to set up several large venues for Making icing sugar, weaving clothes, brewing wine, making porcelain kilns and more.”

"It is estimated here that tens of thousands of long-term workers will be recruited. If the job is large, the location should not be too remote, as long as it is close to the outer city. The place must be large, including the accommodation of the long-term workers, and they will also be arranged together."

"We also need to reserve some expanded areas. After we get on the road, we will naturally need to expand."

Industry rejuvenates the country, and handicraft manufacturing is not considered prosperous in Daming today. Most of the labor force is basically in the fields. On the capital side, many of them are doing nothing.

Either dawdle at home, or do short-term work everywhere.

And Zhu Ying's first step in opening up a business is to set up a factory first.

In the current situation, in fact, there is already a foundation for setting up factories. For example, in the Jiangnan area, many places have begun to take shape.

Especially the textile industry.

Of course, the largest number are mainly small workshops, which are usually run by a family or a few people. In this era, almost no one considers privately owned workshops, and they do not have such conditions.

Those with too much investment and a little bit of power can be directly ruined.

What's more, let alone recruiting thousands of people, if you recruit hundreds of people, just a crime of treason with an evil intention will come down, and the tree will attract the wind, that's it.

Uncle Zhang hesitated and asked: "Boss, this person is a good recruit, but there are not so many master masters in our chamber of commerce. Can we bring them here? With so many people, if something goes wrong, it will be difficult to deal with." gone."

"In my heart, this old slave really has no idea."

Zhu Ying comforted: "You don't need to worry about these things, I have already notified the Ministry of Internal Affairs, that is, the eunuchs and women from all bureaus in the palace will come here, the early stage may be slower, at most it will take more than a month, and the apprentices will be able to get started gone."

"You don't need to know too much, just follow the model of the Gunpowder Department, divide the work, and do it step by step, without the need for one person to do it. This way the speed is much faster."

"The longer the apprentices have been working, the more skilled they become."

Uncle Zhang replied: "It's the old slave who is worrying too much. The things arranged by the master must have been planned long ago. If the people in the palace can come and guide them, the things they make must be as specified."

There are eight bureaus of eunuchs in the palace, including the military bureau and the silver bureau.

Others include the Huanyi Bureau, the Scarf and Hat Bureau, the Needlework Bureau, the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, the Wine and Vinegar Noodle Bureau, and the Siyuan Bureau.

It almost represents the top level of craftsmanship in the entire Ming Dynasty.

These are all for royal service.

Now Zhu Ying's goal is to bring out all these talents and start a business.

In the future, whether it is overseas export or domestic sales in Daming, there will be sufficient cargo protection.

No matter what it is, when it enters the industrialized production mode, its cost will start to drop significantly.

Now Zhu Ying wants to bring down the prices of all these things, and create the concept of wholesale for future generations.

No matter what kind of goods it is, it is directly a large quantity and high quality.

Moreover, in such a production environment, the improvement of the handicraft industry will become more and more proficient.

As the future emperor of Ming Dynasty, in developing commerce, of course, he should not focus on making money. The most important thing was the healthy development of all commerce.

If it is to make money, there are too many small tricks.

If the whole lottery ticket comes out, it can make the whole Ming Dynasty go crazy.

The benefits of this are simply unimaginable.

Even if it's a scratch-off, it's scary.

But these are meaningless to the people's livelihood, but will make many people focus on the mentality of getting rich overnight, and ruin their families.

"Go get ready. If you have any problems, go directly to Jin Yiwei and ask Song Zhong to solve them. Quickly finalize the place."

"Also, in the field of weaving, it is enough to only recruit female workers. The women in the capital have too little work. If they can do a long-term job, it is enough to subsidize their families."

"When choosing the location of the textile factory, try to see if there are any good places in the outer city. Most women may still need to be able to go home at any time. This point should be considered."

Zhu Ying ordered.

It is actually necessary to liberate women's labor force.

Nowadays, after marriage, women of the Ming Dynasty will of course not be like the daughters of wealthy families who don't leave the house or leave the house. There are many things to do every day.

But the vast majority of women can only stay at home, or help others with laundry, earning meager money.

Most of them live at home looking forward to their husband's income.

For ordinary people, having a laundry job is already pretty good.

And in weaving, it is easier for women to get started, and almost all women can do needlework.

Weaving and clothing making are all Zhu Ying has to do.

Daming hardly sells finished clothes, even in the shops, they are all sample clothes. After seeing the style and liking it, the store then customizes it.

In other words, the clothes purchased by Daming today are all custom-made.

Ordinary people also bought cloth at home, and then went home to make it by themselves.

Like what Zhu Yuanzhang wears, whether it is a gown, a court dress, or a regular dress, almost all of them are sewed by Empress Ma herself.

This is why Zhu Yuanzhang's clothes are worn out, but they have never been changed.

At best, it's sewing and mending.

It's not that no one can do it, it's just that because Queen Ma is gone, Zhu Yuanzhang feels uncomfortable wearing clothes not made by Queen Ma.

Now Zhu Ying is ready to make ready-to-wear.

Of course, to completely open up the ready-made clothing market and change people's habits from childhood to adulthood, it will not be done overnight.

But Zhu Ying is not worried about sales.

Whether it is a member of the Department of Public Security or a member of the army, these orders are enough for the female workers in the textile factory to work for eight lifetimes.

Not to mention that Zhu Ying will customize factory uniforms for all the factories under her in the future, including the shops of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, and make specific styles of clothing.

Uniform clothing brings distinctive effects and makes it easier to form a cohesive force.

What Zhu Ying has to do is to make the entire Ming people inseparable from the Qunying Chamber of Commerce in every aspect of their daily lives.

This is Zhu Ying's line of rejuvenating the country through characteristic industries.
