Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 353 The Inner Factory of the Attack

"My lord, let's drink some tea."

Holding the teacup in his hand, Wang Cheng'en looked at the Emperor Chongzhen who was leaning on the dragon chair with his eyes closed and meditating, and persuaded him with a worried face: "My lord, you should take care of your dragon body.

Since those corrupt officials have been investigated by Jin Yiwei, you should stop thinking about these things. "

Recalling what happened in Dongnuan Pavilion just now, Wang Chengen's heart was quite complicated.

Ever since the emperor Yuji proclaimed himself emperor, it seems that the situation has continued.

Disasters occur frequently in various places, bandits are rampant, and the Eight Banners are not stopping. There are many tax problems. The court and China...

Wang Chengen didn't dare to think about it.

"I'm fine."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "A bunch of corrupt officials who are going to be sentenced to death are not worthy of my worries. What I think about now is the situation in Shanshan.

I can see it.

Most of the civil servants in the outer dynasty are unreliable.

The morale is broken, and it is as difficult as going to heaven to get back on track!

On the side of Beizhili, I can still see the facts clearly, but what about places outside of Beizhili?I don't know what they did and how much they got greedy! "

Wang Chengen lowered his head, thinking about these things, he was beyond his control.

Affected by the fierce party struggle in the Tianqi Dynasty, the problem of official corruption in the Ming Dynasty has not been effectively curbed, and it even intensified.

Large tracts of land were annexed by gentry, large and small landlords and other groups, and the number of self-cultivating farmers under the Ming Dynasty was on a decreasing trend year after year, which directly affected fiscal revenue.

"Everyone wants face and fruit, where in the world is there such a good thing!"

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "If you want me to come and see, this Great Ming is no longer my Great Ming. If I don't get rid of these stubborn diseases and cancerous tumors one by one, then sooner or later the Great Ming will emerge. trouble."

Wang Chengen: "..."

These words were so loud that Wang Chengen's hands trembled slightly, and some tea splashed out from the teacup he was holding.

"Slave..."

"Wang Banban, how is the construction of the factories under the jurisdiction of the inner factory at Huangzhuang?"

Seeing Wang Chengen who was about to apologize, Emperor Chongzhen reached out and took the teacup he was holding, put it on the dragon table, and asked Wang Chengen with his sword eyebrows upside down.

Jingtong Ercang was attacked by a group of moths, thunder broke out in Shanxi, and even Tianjin Zhili Prefecture, Zhou Yuji's subordinates, presented various situations.

Make Emperor Chongzhen more and more understand that it is necessary to develop stable financial resources and plan stable grain purchase channels to ensure that in the increasingly severe situation in the future, he will not be swayed by the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty.

Simply killing a group of civil servants will not solve Daming's problems.

After all, behind these civil servants are gentry, large and small landlords and other groups. They control a lot of production materials in Ming Dynasty. We can't kill them all, right?
Once Emperor Chongzhen dared to do this, all the places in Ming Dynasty would revolt and rebel against themselves. After all, he, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, rebelled first.

"Report to the emperor, and the slaves will also report this matter."

Wang Chengen bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "In Huangzhuang under the jurisdiction of the inner court, the first batch of spinning mills, textile factories, garment factories and other factories have all been established.

At present, the Dainaihang factory has organized corresponding manpower to purchase the accumulated cotton through some reliable merchants in Beizhili, Shandong and other places.

Thanks to the multi-spindle spinning car developed by the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau and other departments organized by craftsmen, as well as the flying cable loom proposed by the emperor, after trial production, whether it is spinning efficiency or weaving efficiency , are much improved compared to before. "

Cotton cloth, as one of Daming's hard currencies, is able to weave cotton cloth in large quantities, which is definitely a source of income.

For example, Jiangnan, where the textile industry is concentrated, has sprouted the seeds of capitalism.

How many textile workshops under the names of gentry, big and small landlords, maritime merchants and other groups use so many looms to squeeze the labor force of the people at the bottom, so that they can continuously earn money.

The Ming Dynasty under the small-scale peasant economy, on the surface, emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, but in fact it has been almost destroyed now.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, the twelve prisons, four divisions and eight bureaus under the name of the inner court should not only revolve around one Forbidden City, but should generate more income for internal funds.

After all, under the rule of the inner court, there are too many eunuchs and court ladies. This is just a mouthful, and the correct solution is to let them shine in their due fields.

"How about the construction of Liulichang, which is under construction?"

Emperor Chongzhen continued to ask: "Under our Ming Dynasty, glazed products from the West were also highly sought after. If they can be mass-produced as soon as possible, they can also generate income for domestic funds."

"Going back to the emperor, Liulichang has also been prepared to be built."

Wang Chengen bowed slightly and said: "And according to the emperor's will, the artisans under the name of Liulichang tried to produce mirrors, glazed utensils and other things.

Especially the glazed mirror is far better than the copper mirror.

If Liulichang under the jurisdiction of the inner factory can be sold on a large scale, it will definitely open up a stable source of income. "

Although Emperor Chongzhen did not know the specific production, nor did he know the corresponding skills.

However, the special status of Da Tianzi allowed him to gather a large number of skilled craftsmen in the shortest possible time to specialize in the improvement of a certain skill.

Only in terms of trial and error costs, Emperor Chongzhen had an absolute advantage.

Like things that can be seen everywhere in later generations, if they appear under the rule of Ming Dynasty, they will often have considerable market prospects.

"From the convenience store, select a few reliable merchants and ask their family members to move all of them to live in the capital." Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and said.

"Ask these reliable merchants to go to Zhili Prefecture in Tianjin, set up a business name, and first sell the mirrors and glazed utensils produced by Liulichang to the south by boat, and sell them in Nanzhili, Huguang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Tell them that I plan to choose two imperial merchants, whoever can sell the most money for the goods they handle, and at the same time solve the cotton supply for the internal factory and contact more grain merchants, then the name of the imperial merchant will be his. . "

"Here!"

Wang Chengen responded immediately.

In this world of cannibalism, all big merchants who can gain momentum have people standing behind them. For Emperor Chongzhen, if these merchants dare to do small tricks behind their backs, it is very simple, kill Zai Fat sheep is it.

Daming lacks everything, and Daming lacks nothing.

Three-legged golden toads are hard to find, but two-legged merchants are hard to find.

What's more, it's nothing to open up the Jiangnan market first for popular products like Liuli. After all, the Jiangnan land at that time was the most affluent place in Ming Dynasty.

Don't look at the frequent disasters in Ming Dynasty, and the chaos in the north, but the south of the Yangtze River is very stable, living a life of food and clothing.
