Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 524 Four years of the New Deal, prosperity of the country!
"Chen brother, I don't mean that!"

Zhu Youjian was sweating profusely.

Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath, glanced at Zhu Youjian, and didn't know what to say, he just felt that his younger brother was a muscle.

Donating your own land is to buy people's hearts?
How stupid must this man be?
Buying people's hearts is not how you buy, who is he buying?

Who will be bought by him?

Haven't you seen what Zhu Gongyun is being scolded about now?
This group of gentry really wanted to directly peel off Zhu Gongyun's skin.

Forget it, stupid brother, I don't have the same knowledge as you.

After the banquet is over.

After Zhu Youxiao comforted Zhu Gongyun, he began to prepare for a good rest.

The next step is to have someone take Zhu Gongyun around the capital. Zhu Gongyun is willing to transfer the land.

It's better to set an example and let the vassal kings honestly hand over the land.

And Zhu Gongyun also took a walk in the capital under the leadership of Zhou Jinyong.

Soon, Zhu Gongyun realized that the sale of the capital was not a matter of profit.

But profiteering!

Henan as a whole is naturally not as rich as the capital. The price of a pound of shelled rice here has reached ten yuan a pound, but in Henan, the same rice costs only three or four yuan, which is at least three times the profit.

Of course, Ming Dynasty banknotes are not popular in Henan, but Zhu Gongyun quickly realized that the price of grain in Henan is cheap, and the price of grain in the capital is expensive. As long as it is transported, it will be huge profits.

I can't blame Zhou Jinyong for building roads.

On the one hand, it is to absorb the excess labor force, and on the other hand, it is necessary to open up the road between the capital and Henan. As long as this road is opened, the food can be transported, and it is profitable to go back and forth.

In addition, Zhu Gongyou also checked the road surface of the capital.

The pavement is also very easy to step on and is very strong. It is made of cement. According to Zhou Jinyong, there are bamboos in it, but it is still far from enough. In the future, steel will still be used to pave the road.

Paving roads with steel and cement?

Reinforced concrete dirt road.

Zhu Gongyun feels that this is not a question of extravagance or not, but a very extravagant one.

If this road is opened, grain from Henan will be transported directly to the capital.

Zhu Gongyan even felt that he could still be a grain merchant, but Zhou Jinyong dispelled Zhu Gongyan's thoughts in a few words, and he was still doing logistics honestly, and you are not the only one who is very smart. Other grain merchants have thought of it a long time ago, so you just be honest Really think about logistics.

Make your name bigger and stronger.

"The road is difficult, and there are few people on the road. What should I do if I encounter bandits? This is where your King Zhou's logistics skills are displayed. You are a prince. The guards you accept are not for nothing. Let them escort you all the way. When you encounter bandits Kill him directly, the question you need to consider now is how to improve the treatment of your guard!"

Zhu Gongyun slapped his thigh, and immediately felt that what Zhou Jinyong said made sense.

The guards of the King of Zhou are still allowed to be equipped with swords and swords under the emperor's special permission, but firecrackers are not allowed. It is necessary to maintain the court's sufficient firepower advantage over the local area.

To deal with the bandits, the guards under King Zhou still have a strong combat effectiveness. In the past, it still took a lot of time, money, and energy to transport the grain to the capital.

There are too many variables in the middle. When this catty of rice is transported to the capital, nine out of ten, the cost of transportation and hidden dangers may offset all the profits.

However, as long as the road is repaired, the transportation cost will be reduced, and the cost of hidden dangers will need to be borne by King Zhou himself.

Afterwards, Zhou Jinyong took King Zhou to look at the new-style carriages. Now, with the new carriages and such roads, it is no problem to transport thousands of catties, or even several thousand catties. If the scale is really large, As long as the contract is signed well, it seems to be much more profitable than relying on the land.

Secondly,

In addition to food, there are also specialties in Henan, such as iron rod yam, small milled sesame oil, etc. These things can also be sold directly to the capital.

These things are profitable as long as shipping costs are reduced.

This Henan is also the geometric center of the Ming Dynasty. It is known as "the hinterland of Kyushu and the thoroughfare of ten provinces". There has always been a saying in history that "the one who wins the Central Plains wins the world".

Henan has become a battleground for military strategists. The four wars are inevitable. Whenever there is a big chaos, the population of Henan will drop sharply. However, if there is no war, Henan will immediately prosper. Not only that, it is also a turnover center .

And similarly, for businessmen, they are also keenly aware that Henan is a new place to make money.

Where there is a New Deal, there is no place where there is poverty.

Look at Shandong, look at the capital.

Perhaps the rich are not as good as those in Jiangnan, but the people here are really rich. They have become accustomed to using Daming banknotes, and they can afford silk and high-quality cotton, even when they are eating. , They all have soybean oil or lard, and the most exaggerated thing is that they still have meat to eat.

After living a rich life, they began to build houses again.

They are all red bricks and blue tiles, which have driven the development of the brick kiln industry.

For the group of businessmen, their sense of smell is the keenest.

Shanxi is suffering from severe droughts and disasters, let alone Shanxi. Even Shanxi has experienced a lot of economic explosions in recent years. Although Henan is said to be suffering from droughts or floods, if it is well managed, it may not be too bad.

As long as the risks and transportation costs are minimized and merchants find it profitable, they will naturally increase their investment.

In addition, the imperial court has now opened a lot of steel factories. Today's Daming's steelmaking technology is already a bit beyond Zhang Haogu's understanding. The scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the output is also getting bigger and bigger.

On the one hand, the imperial court made guns, which required a lot of steel, and various agricultural plows. Now, it is starting to build steel bridges. Although it cannot be manufactured on a large scale, small-scale applications are still possible. can be used.

However, steel is still not used on a large scale, and Zhang Haogu is also waiting for Zhu Youxiao to perfect the steam engine so that this guy can quickly get the train out. go up.

The New Deal has been implemented for four years now, and the four years have also brought about earth-shaking changes in the entire Ming Dynasty. Although there are still constant natural disasters, the twilight of the dynasty is a little less.

In the four years of the New Deal, the fortune of the country is prosperous!
　Tomorrow should be the seventh watch.

　　I sorted out my thoughts today, and I will be a little lazy tomorrow.

　　The day after tomorrow, the tenth update should be restored!
