Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 301 Open Zhu Youxiao's eyes, what does it mean to get rich first and then get rich later?

Zhu Youxiao still felt a little shocked.

This time, Zhang Haogu's investment was incomparably huge.

Involved in all aspects.

Building roads, building granaries, in addition, there are glass factories, and some food processing factories.

For example, some sesame oils, as well as animal oils and vegetable oils.

There is also salt.

Now Zhang Haogu is promoting the drying salt method in Shandong.

In addition, Chen Jinglun still got chili peppers, and now he has begun large-scale promotion and planting in the capital area. The chili peppers produced are then made into chili sauce. Dried and chilli paste were mixed together and began to be sold externally.

Some time ago, someone asked Zhang Haogu to give him a name.

Zhang Haogu was not ambiguous at all, and directly named him - Laoganma.

The sales volume of Laoganma in the capital is actually quite good, because peppers have not yet begun to be popularized on a large scale, and because the scale of the breeding industry is still not large enough, and the production of glass bottles is far from enough, although the price is slightly expensive Just a little bit.

However, the effect of taking out in the capital is actually quite good. Sometimes, it is freezing cold, and it tastes great when you come to such a bite.

Now this old godmother is about to start a large-scale sale to the outside world.

If this road is not well repaired, it will definitely not work.

In addition, there is still a new industry in Yongding County.

logistics
Yongding County also specially designed carriages, with springs as shock absorbers, these products were sold from farms around Yongding County to the capital with a profit of about 30.00%.

In short, Zhang Haogu's strategy is definitely not just to keep the people confined to the land, but to liberate the peasants from the land.

Under normal circumstances, this is not an easy task. From beginning to end, this food will always confine people to the land.

But now it is different.

With high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, at least it can free people from the shackles of the land.

Now, Zhang Haogu has three strategies for dealing with food.

The first is breeding, the second is research on chemical fertilizers, and the third is importing from overseas.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, you have to take your time!
At most, Zhang Haogu is just pointing in one direction, and the rest is to let a group of people study slowly, learn to summarize and analyze by the way, and train them in this direction slowly, and the rest is to study slowly up.

Fortunately, the current population of Daming, even if the hidden population is put together, is a little over 1 million. If it really has a population of more than one billion, Zhang Haogu really dare not say that he will definitely be able to handle industrialization for you.

Even so, a considerable number of people are still bound to the land.

Large-scale chemical fertilizers are still needed, and the problem of land annexation must be dealt with strictly. Once land is annexed, once the food is not supplied to the country, there will be big problems.

It is not impossible to climb the technology tree, but the food problem still needs to be solved.

High-yielding crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn have not been promoted on a large scale. Zhang Haogu really dare not play like this.

The scale of infrastructure construction this time is very large. First of all, it is to completely speed up the road maintenance in the capital area. At the same time, there are other mansions in Beizhili, such as Zhending Mansion, Shuntian Mansion, and Hejian Mansion. To include them.

In addition to road construction, there are also many workshops, as well as the estimation and expansion of the breeding industry. If the production of steel is not enough, he wants to directly repair reinforced concrete roads for you.

The prerequisite for this step is the farm.

The national policy of the gentry and the gentry working together to pay the food has been implemented for two years. The price of land in the capital plummeted, and a group of landlords and gentry were forced to sell their land cheaply.

Even this group of landlords and gentry has no chance to sell cheaply at all. They don’t want to buy this group of unscrupulous people. They just want to wait for you to make mistakes, let you evade taxes, and then report you to share your land.

Naturally, during this period of time, riots occurred the most in the capital area and Shandong area.

Some gentry were dissatisfied and wanted to make a little noise.

Then, they were jointly suppressed by the Jinyiwei Yamen and the Taxation Department Yamen.

Even if you want to instigate a riot, there will be no common people with you. If you instigate a riot, your own mansion will be demolished and sent to Jinyiwei Yamen.

And then, it is to raid the house and divide the land happily.

So that later, even if you did not resist tax evasion, they would say that you want to rebel, just want to find an excuse to demolish your home and divide your home land.

Local officials reported to the imperial court, and some people worried whether it was too much or whether they would overcorrect.

Then, Zhang Haogu replied six words.

Overkill must be overcorrected!

Zhang Haogu is really not worried about what kind of waves this group of landlords and gentry will make. The landlords and the bourgeoisie still have some similarities. To gain power, however, none of them has the courage to change the sun and the moon into a new sky.

Therefore, in the previous dynasty changes, the powerful landlords were very important forces. However, after the founding of the country, this group of powerful landlords was just like that, and they would never become the trendsetters of history. When more cruel tests appeared, after all, a group of people stood up and betrayed their own class.

Now... If this group of powerful landlords can really betray their own class, Zhang Haogu can give him a thumbs up.

Now in the Jingshi area, the work of dividing the fields has basically been completed, and one farm after another has been established in the Jingshi area, which requires roads to connect these farms.

Now it is to establish a farm company, and later it can produce some small-scale industrial products. After the road is repaired, this is also an important tool to implement the will of the imperial court to the grassroots.

In addition to the cement itself, it also requires large-scale production and the establishment of a large enough factory, which is to absorb all these labor forces.

Let the goods flow.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he heard Zhang Haogu's thoughts now, and now he felt that Zhang Haogu was really crazy enough to play.

Take out 2000 million taels of silver and 200 billion Daming treasure banknotes for large-scale infrastructure construction.

This idea, even thinking about it, makes you feel a little crazy.

In the past, everyone wanted to save money when they had money, but Zhang Haogu didn’t like it. If you have money, you have to spend it quickly, pull up the infrastructure quickly, and quickly promote the consumption of the people.

"It's just that you have to spend 2000 million taels of silver, isn't it too much?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at the map drawn by Zhang Haogu and the roads that were about to be built. He couldn't help swallowing hard, and instinctively didn't want to pay the money.

"Your Majesty, this is not 2000 million taels of silver, but 200 billion Daming Treasure Banknotes!"

Zhang Haogu added: "It is impossible for us to directly invest 2000 million taels of silver in one go. It always needs to be invested in installments. First of all, it is impossible for us to invest all in one go. Without such a large labor force, it is very It’s unrealistic, so it still needs to be divided into stages!”

"Oh?"

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help being slightly taken aback: "In stages?"

"Yes!" Zhang Haogu nodded quickly and said, "For example, the first phase of the project, the second phase of the project, and the third phase of the project!"

"Your Majesty, look, this is a plan that I have drawn up in detail. I have already marked what needs to be done every step of the way!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile.

"Large-scale infrastructure has two benefits. The first one is to make the roads flow and make the people rich!"

Zhang Haogu raised two fingers, and said with a smile: "The second is to promote banknotes. Let me ask, the court came up with 2000 million silver for infrastructure construction. Naturally, no one doubts whether the court has money. Let me ask, this After the 200 billion banknotes are printed, it is impossible for the common people to exchange them for silver. There are always people who use them to consume and buy food. As long as they can use the banknotes to buy what they want, why still Do you want to spend your mind to replace silver?"

Zhu Youxiao felt that his brain was a little confused. All this was too complicated for him, and the complexity made him feel that his brain was overloaded.

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "Then try it, let's see how the first phase of the project is going!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so anxious. I think we will see the results soon!"

"Why?" Zhu Youxiao asked curiously.

"Isn't this road being repaired all the time? Before that, a road was built from Yongding County to the capital, and now Yongding County has also built a road towards the others. The closest one is Zhengxing County, and now the road in Zhengxing County is also It has already begun to pass through, and the effect of the road repair must be displayed soon!!"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly became interested: "Zhengxing County? I know that last year, this Zhengxing County was also divided into land and farms. Why, can this Zhengxing County make money?"

Zhang Haogu thought for a while, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, how long has it been since you visited privately?"

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment: "Haven't I been making private visits all the time?"

Zhang Haogu coughed: "I didn't mean to come to Yongding County. Now this Yongding County is in the hands of the emperor. It is almost the same as the capital. What the emperor can see is the prosperity of Yongding County. But, how is this Zhengxing County?" I'm afraid the emperor can only see it from the memorial!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded approvingly, and then said: "What does the master mean?"

"Your Majesty, why don't you go to Zhengxing County!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile, "How about the two of us as government officials in the Statistics Department!"

"Okay, I just want to go out and have a look during this time!" Zhu Youxiao suddenly became interested: "I really want to know what Zhengxing County looks like now!"

After making up his mind, Zhu Youxiao still wants to go out and have a look.

Although, sometimes, what Zhang Haogu said was extravagant, but some things need to be believed after all.

That afternoon, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu completed the formalities.

Xiao You, an administrative officer of the Statistics Department, and Gu Long, an administrative officer of the Statistics Department.

Now the names Zhu Fugui and Gu Haozhang can no longer be used. Basically, everyone knows that one of them is the dog emperor, and the other is the number one favorite of the Tianqi Dynasty.

"This cement road is really good!"

Sitting in the carriage, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but look around. Sitting in the carriage is also very comfortable. The carriage is very spacious and can accommodate four or five people. In addition, there is also a place in the middle A small tea table for drinking tea and chatting.

Springs are installed in the carriage itself, which increases the shock absorption effect. Secondly, the wheels have also undergone a series of modifications, making it less prone to bumps.

The middle of the cement road is separated, and it is not so easy to turn around halfway.

The left and right can accommodate three carriages in parallel.

However, even so, there are a lot of carriages on this road, and a lot of goods are piled up on the carriages.

Zhu Youxiao opened the curtain and took a few glances. It was true that there were everything.

Grain, soybeans, pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks.

"What are these people doing?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask.

"There are also wine, sesame oil, etc. for the food collection!" He Fei, a Zhengxing county government official who was in charge of guiding the two people, said quickly.

"Oh?" Zhu Youxiao suddenly became interested, and couldn't help but ask, "How much is this grain?"

He Fei said quickly: "Two cents a catty, buy as much as you can, these are businessmen from Yongding County, they come to buy our grain, in addition to grain, there is pepper, this year we are promoting The county also planted a lot of peppers, and now they are all harvested at high prices!"

"What?"

Two texts...

The price is actually not that much.

According to Daming's calculation, one tael of silver is equal to sixteen coins. However, Daming's exchange ratio between silver and copper coins is not fixed, it is about one tael of silver to one thousand copper coins.

If it is exchanged for banknotes, two pennies are two yuan.

At present, paper money has not yet started to be promoted on a large scale, and copper coins are still used.

"Besides, besides rice noodles, we also need dried sweet potatoes, oil, wine, and potato flour. The prices are quite reasonable. Yongding County is quite generous, as much as you want."

He Feidao: "Next year, our Zhengxing County will sign a long-term contract with the Laoganma Workshop in Yongding County. From now on, our peppers can be sold directly to Laoganma!"

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but said, "Sell them directly?"

"Yes, our Zhengxing County is not as good as Yongding County now, do we have any money, so we still need to rely on Yongding County a lot!" He Fei said quickly: "Now the old godmother in the capital is selling very well. It is said that everyone I like to eat it very much, and the price of this chili is quite reasonable now, next year, we will increase the planting area of ​​chili, and strive to earn more money!"

This He Fei is also very talkative.

Zhu Youxiao suddenly became interested, and couldn't help asking: "Is your family also divided land?"

"Divided, divided!"

He Fei quickly said: "Our emperor is wise, our family was very poor before, we had no money, and there was not much money left throughout the year. Since the emperor came up with this policy, it is different. I Five acres of land were allocated, and our wife also allocated five acres of land. This year, our family has a baby, and when we grow up, we still need to allocate five acres of land!"

"A family of three, it's a lot of fun!" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing: "It's pretty good to have land!"

He Fei nodded and said: "However, although this land is divided into five acres, I don't cultivate it. My main job is to cultivate, coordinate, and help the court collect taxes!"

"Then your land is not divided for nothing?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help asking: "The land is barren, how bad is it?"

"that is not!"

He Fei shook his head quickly: "Man, you don't know. Although I don't farm, I can rent this land to the farm for farming. I only need to pay a certain percentage of the fee to the farm every year. Moreover, Our wife also has to participate in the labor, in addition to food, it is chili, after the chili is sold, our family can also get some money!"

Zhu Youxiao was curious: "If you sell the peppers, you can still share the money? Why?"

"I have invested my land in the farm. I will be given a share of what the farm produces and earns. Our wife can share more if she participates in the labor. Me, I am a government official. , the imperial court will also give me a salary, and the farm has also discussed with me, my five acres of land enjoy a certain dividend in the farm, but because I don't participate in labor, I give less!"

"This is quite interesting!" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but said, "Who proposed this?"

"Who else? Our Prime Minister Zhang!"

He Fei said quickly: "Master Zhang said that if the land is too scattered and scattered in everyone's hands, these powerful landlords will come to grab our land sooner or later, so directly merge it into the farm. This land is in the hands of the farm, who would dare to snatch it?"

"Converting the income of the farm into money, half of it is sent to us, and the other half is used to build a school. When my child grows up, I will send him to study too!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "Not bad, really good!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but glanced at Zhang Haogu: "Why didn't I know this happened?"

"Brother Xiao, I mentioned this to you. Maybe Brother Xiao was too busy at that time. I didn't remember it!" Zhang Haogu spread his hands and said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, you can go back and watch the meeting Record!"

Zhu Youxiao really doesn't remember this incident. Zhang Haogu has a lot of ideas and suggestions. Sometimes he mentions too many things, and Zhu Youxiao is really easy to forget.

"is it?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Then I'll go back and have a look!"

While chatting, the carriage also slowly stopped.

Zhengxing County has arrived!
Zhu Youxiao got out of the carriage, but couldn't help being surprised when he saw the scene in front of him.
