Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 530: Golden Beanzi cheats his father

Three million people!
Sure enough, the fourth child mentioned this matter.

A table away, Zhu Biao sat opposite Zhu Di, looked at Zhu Di, moved his hands from the table and put them on his knees.

Fingers slightly curled.

population!

This is his biggest bargaining chip to strangle Yanhua's development.

Population is also the biggest factor restricting the development of Yanhua at present.

Yanhua's population problem not only caused a shortage of manpower, but also resulted in a small internal market and high labor costs.

Influence and restrict Yanhua's industrial development.

The problem of unbalanced ethnic groups has become Yanhua's biggest hidden danger.

As Laosi has continued to expand his territory over the years.

Yanhua has a total population of more than four million.

Among them, the total number of people with Central Plains blood is only over 1.5 million.

This still includes 300,000 Mongolian immigrants.

The remaining two million people come from various ethnic groups.

In this context, Lao Si tried his best to promote the theory of descendants of Yan and Huang.

On the surface, the response over the years has been very good.

But this is just appearance.

It is the personal prestige of the fourth child.

It is Yanhua's wealthy life and rapid development.

And, the new cultural symbol successfully created by Laosi unites everyone.

This is the result of Lao Si always trying every means to purge the local elite whenever he occupies a place.

No matter what, it cannot change the problem that the proportion of blood descendants in the Central Plains is relatively small.

This hidden danger, as long as it is provoked by external forces at the right time, can constrain Yanhua's huge war capabilities.

But once Yanhua gets three million immigrants.

According to Yanhua's current assimilation policy.

The current Yanhua population structure will be further diluted through three million immigrants, and then through intermarriage.

Less than ten years.

This hidden danger will be completely eliminated!

At that time, Yanhua, with a population of tens of millions, was fully capable of challenging the Ming Dynasty with its strong industrial capabilities.

Even if the fourth child had the idea to aspire to the Central Plains, there would be no chance of success.

Fang Xiaoru and others frowned slightly.

Although I also feel that the three million population requested by Zhu Di will have a great impact on the future.

But he didn't speak.

Huang Zicheng and others looked at Zhu Biao eagerly.

Huang Zicheng spoke even more anxiously, "Prince, you can't..."

Zhu Biao raised his hand to stop Huang Zicheng, looked at Zhu Di and said: "Fourth brother, three million people are too many. Now that the imperial court's rural villages have been fully established, the Central Plains does not have that many people. We will provide Yanhua with a maximum of three hundred thousand!" "

Zhu Di laughed angrily.

It’s not like bargaining!
He used to buy clothes and cut them in half. As long as he succeeded in cutting them, he felt like he had gained blood.

Big brother is good.

Just cut off 90%!

"No!" Jiang Jinzhong suddenly smiled and said, "A population of three million is only 600,000 households. The imperial court has this ability. Moreover, the prince gave us Yanhua a population of three million, not only in exchange for us to help the Ming Dynasty at cost price We can build nearly 10,000 kilometers of railways and get support from various factories for the construction of no less than 50 factories. We can also solve a very big crisis for the prince! "

Zhu Biao frowned slightly.

Snapped!
Qi Tai slapped the case and glared at Jiang Jinzhong, "It's just alarmist talk. How can there be any crisis when we are a powerful country?"

Jiang Jinzhong is nothing.

That is to say, Yanhua has no talents. With this talent, there are no tigers in the mountains. The monkey is called the king and steals the chief of the cabinet.

If such a mediocre person stayed in the Ming Dynasty, he would be a lowly county magistrate at best.

Jiang Jinzhong was not angry. He smiled, opened the folding book on his lap, lowered his head, and said while reading: "In the past few years, Ming's maritime merchants have purchased a total of one million animal-powered seeders and two hundred More than 10,000 animal-powered combine harvesters..."

Zhu Biao frowned even more tightly.

so much?
The farmers on the imperial side actually purchased such huge farming machinery from Yanhua?
This……

How appalling!

"According to our survey statistics, 80% of these farming machinery were purchased by the gentry and landlord class in the Ming Dynasty. According to Yanhua's experience, the use of farming machinery can release at least 60% of the working population. So, the gentry and landlord class in the Ming Dynasty purchased such A lot of agricultural machinery has been put into use, but where are the people who were originally controlled by them now? "

Zhu Biao's face turned pale slightly.

Fang Xiaoru and others' faces also turned pale.

Although the Ming Dynasty opened the sea, the collection and management of maritime trade and commercial taxes was very strict.

However, there is no detailed statistics on the types and quantities of imported and exported goods like Yanhua.

Because everyone does not have this subconscious mind at all.

Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the Ming side and even the reformists led by Fang Xiaoru.

In the final analysis, to this day, the imperial court still follows the small-peasant economy in the way it governs the country.

Loose management.

Responsible only for collecting taxes and maintaining stability and rule.

The private sector, on the other hand, completely relies on local conventions and customs to operate on its own.

This method of governing the country is simply not suitable for the industrial age.

In the industrial age, there must be a social structure with extremely high organizational strength.

Zhu Di glanced at Huang Zicheng, Hu Weiyong and others, and said: "Brother, we don't know much about the specific data, but we also got some information from the merchants who came and went. After the gentry and landlords used animal-drawn agricultural machinery on a large scale, they began to Abolish the tenant farmers who were controlled by them with their physical deeds..."

Gentlemen don't raise 'cattle' for free.

When they discovered that the use of animal-driven agricultural machinery could bring them greater profits.

The fate of the sharecroppers can be imagined.

"After a small number of tenant farmers were retained, some were laid off. After losing their land, they flocked to various cities and struggled to make a living..."

……

Zhu Biao's hand on his knee was held tightly.

Shame on him!
He didn't even know these things, and he only found out about them from the fourth child.

Zhu Yunxu sat behind Zhu Biao, leaned into Zhu Biao's ear, and whispered: "Father, what the fourth uncle said is true. When my eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law built the biogas lighting factory, they recruited many landless tenant farmers who poured into the city to make a living. , I remember that my eldest brother even wrote a note to my father specifically for this purpose..."

As for the discount, my father didn’t take it seriously and still didn’t see it.

He doesn't know.

"The tenant farmers who were unilaterally torn up by the gentry and rushed to the city to make a living were lucky."

"More sharecroppers, their deeds were directly transferred and sold to factory owners, and they became prostitutes whose freedom was controlled."

When he said this, Zhu Di stopped.

Workers in private factories in the Ming Dynasty are compared with workers during the Industrial Revolution in the West.

The situation may be even more difficult.

Historically, workers in the West have been severely exploited.

But the private factories of the imperial court directly moved the gentry's tenancy system to industry.

This is the shackles of thousands of years of civilization.

There's a lot of good stuff.

But there’s a lot of really bad stuff, too.

In the process of development, it is inevitable to be copied and applied by traditional forces.

The body contract system was copied and applied to industry.

And industrial competition is more cruel than agricultural competition.

So, at this moment, those workers in non-employee joint-stock factories.

Not only is there no personal freedom.

They have suffered from the exploitation of lower-class workers for a longer period than during the Industrial Revolution in Western history.

He did not believe that his eldest brother had the ability to quickly solve the problem of tenant farmers who had flooded into the city to make a living after losing their land.

Zhu Di thought about it and suddenly added: "If eldest brother agrees, during the construction of the Grand Cross Railway, we can use the work-for-relief method to recruit these landless people who have poured into the city to make a living, and we, Yanhua, can also A certain amount of subsidies will be provided to these people. Of course, after receiving these subsidies, their families will move to Yanhua. "

It's okay to give some subsidies.

Think of it as reserving skilled workers for Yanhua.

During the construction of the railway.

When these landless tenant farmers participate in project construction, they will initially master and adapt to the division of labor and cooperation under the guidance of Yanhua's engineering team.

Once you move to Yanhua, you will either become a farmer or a worker.

They are all excellent labor force with good quality.

Therefore, Yanhua will not lose money by providing subsidies.

As for the lack of financial resources, direct monetary subsidies are not possible, but in-kind subsidies can be used.

Yanhua's canned meat products, cloth, etc.

Distribute it directly to these road construction workers for their own use. I am afraid that many people will save it and sell it to the people of Ming Dynasty. This is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to expand the influence of Yanhua products in Ming Dynasty.

You must know that in recent years, due to explicit or covert resistance and exclusion from local conservatives, the influence of many Yanhua products has been limited to the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian and Han demonstration areas.

……

Behind them, the faces of Hu Weiyong and Lu Ben were pale and without a trace of blood.

They tried their best to cover it up, but Zhu Silang completely lifted the lid.

They already knew these things.

After all, they control many factories by secretly holding shares, so they naturally know how tenant farmers are being trafficked in the factories.

Zhu Biao's face turned pale.

He turned his head and glared at Huang Zicheng with cold eyes.

Huang Zicheng suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Zhu Biao turned his head and looked at Zhu Di, "Okay, three million people, big brother agreed!"

What to do if you don’t agree?
I'm afraid, this problem is already very serious.

The fourth child was clearly reminding him.

Of course, there is also a hint of threat.

If the problem of tenant farmers flooding into the city to make a living is not solved as soon as possible, it may lead to catastrophe.

How to solve it?

The imperial court did have land to distribute.

There is still a lot of unowned land in Liaodong, waiting to be reclaimed.

If there are hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people migrating, the imperial court will be able to solve it.

It could involve millions or even tens of millions, and the court simply couldn't do it.

Loosely mobilize organizational power.

Local officials’ governance thinking of small-scale peasant economy.

Once this team of people is used, large-scale relocation can easily involve millions of people.

He was certain.

Events similar to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty will definitely happen.

What's more, he has another, more important matter to solve.

The factory’s body contract system!
This system must be abolished!
Otherwise, it would be impossible to compete with Yanhua in industry, let alone catch up with Yanhua.

Therefore, for the current plan, we can only use these landless tenant farmers who have poured into the city to make a living as bargaining chips to build the Grand Cross Railway at a lower price and package it as a gift to the fourth child, Yanhua!

Get rid of this burden as soon as possible!

As for whether Yanhua has the ability to relocate people.

People have it!
Yanhua's official system and official thinking are completely different from those of Ming Dynasty.

They have a set of principles for perfecting organizational mobilization under the industrial system.

call!
Zhu Di breathed out silently and smiled easily.

Immediately, two "Several Agreements Regarding Assistance in the Construction of the Daming and Grand Cross Railways" were redrafted.

Witnessed by hundreds of people from both sides.

Zhu Di and Zhu Biao signed their names on the agreement respectively, and then signed after exchanging with each other.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di finally exchanged their agreements again.

Standing opposite each other.

Zhu Biao held the agreement tightly, trying to suppress his unwillingness and anger, and said with a forced smile: "Fourth, I hope that the construction can start as soon as possible."

Zhu Di nodded: "The technical team required for construction has been formed. You can follow your elder brother back to the Ming Dynasty at any time. As for the steel needed for construction and the factory to assist the imperial court, after I return, I will immediately order the steelmaking plant to expand production and order the aid involved. For the factory to be built, equipment preparation and construction assistance personnel will be organized immediately.”

……

A far-reaching railway aid construction plan was launched amidst Zhu Biao's unwillingness and anger.

The reason for unwillingness was that Zhu Biao clearly realized that with Yanhua acquiring these three million people, Yanhua's biggest shortcomings had been completely filled.

From now on, Yanhua asked for almost nothing from Daming or him.

The anger is not directed at Yanhua or Zhu Di.

But it was aimed at the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Millions of landless tenant farmers poured into the city to make a living, but he didn't know about it from his own ministers.

But I learned about it from Yanhua.

It is said.

The signing ceremony ended that day.

Zhu Biao returned to the small courtyard where he was staying, summoned Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and others, and became furious.

……

mid-October.

The day before Zhu Yuanzhang set out for his journey.

night.

After the lively banquet.

Zhu Di was drunk.

Jin Douzi supported Zhu Di all the way to the deepest part of the palace, a secluded small palace courtyard.

Troos Torre suddenly appeared from the darkness beside the wall outside the palace courtyard. Looking at Zhu Di who was already drunk and unconscious, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Jindouzi, "When uncle wakes up tomorrow morning, I will have to take you." Buttocks open..."

Jindouzi rolled his eyes angrily and urged angrily: "Hurry up and help me, I can't carry it alone!"

Tuo Lie smiled and hurriedly helped Zhu Di and walked into the palace courtyard.

Biogas lamps illuminate the neat palace courtyard filled with various flowers and trees.

Two young men helped Zhu Di to the outside of the palace gate.

"Auntie, open the door." Jin Douzi patted the door.

After a while.

There is a squeaking sound.

The palace door opens.

Wu Yunqige came out wearing a piece of clothing and was slightly stunned when she saw Zhu Di drunk and unconscious, "Why are you so drunk?"

Jin Douzi curled his lips and said, "I feel bad. The attitude shown by my uncle during this visit shows that Yanhua and Ming Dynasty will not be able to have smooth sailing and harmony in the future. Moreover, it is probably the last time for the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother to come to Yanhua." "Yes, my father is feeling very uncomfortable. He drank too much at the banquet tonight."

Hey!
Wu Yunqige sighed silently, then frowned, "Then why do you come to my place? Send it to your mother's palace as soon as possible!"

Tuo Lie rolled his eyes and cursed: The emperor is really not in a hurry, but the eunuch is!
Jindouzi was brought up by Wu Yunqige since she was a child. She had no taboos and said, "Auntie, you are already thirty-three this year. If you don't hurry up, you will become an old girl. No, you are all an old girl now. If you don't take advantage of it, My father got extremely drunk, fell unconscious, and broke the window paper. How long will it take..."

Wu Yunqige's pretty face turned red instantly.

He glared at Jin Douzi angrily, "You brat, your father and I are sworn brothers and sworn sisters, and you are a son. How could you do such a thing! You want to be beaten again, don't you?"

"Aunt, stop pretending. My mother said that earlier, you may have really not wanted to be my father's woman, but these years, do you dare to say that you have not fallen in love with my father? Otherwise, these years, my father I told you so many young talents, but you couldn’t look down on any of them. Besides, why did my mother send someone to take away our copper peas today..."

Jin Douzi said and handed Zhu Di over to Wu Yunqige without any explanation.

He turned around and ran out of the palace courtyard with Tuo Lie, "Auntie, you are already thirty-three!"

With a shout, Jindouzi laughed and trotted away.

The palace courtyard fell into silence.

Wu Yunqige slowly turned her head and looked at the unconscious Zhu Di, her pretty face turned red.

After a moment of hesitation, he helped Zhu Di with difficulty, entered the room, and closed the door.

The moment the door closes.

Two heads, one big and one small, appeared on the left side of the palace porch.

call!
At the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Douzi stood up straight and glanced at Tuo Lie angrily, "Just wait and hear the news. Tomorrow, I will definitely be beaten to death by my father."

Tuo Lie smiled and put his arm around Jin Douzi's shoulders, "I will come to visit you after you are beaten."

Jin Douzi pushed Tuo Lie's hand away angrily and walked away.

Tuo Lie looked at Jin Douzi's leaving figure with a smile.

The smile faded.

Let’s take a look at my aunt’s palace.

Turning around, facing the direction of Xu Miaoyun's palace, he knelt down, kowtowed solemnly, and murmured to himself: "Cholos Tuolie swears to the Changsheng Heaven that my life, my Chuolos family, will live forever as the royal family of the Zhu family of Yanhua. Serve! If you violate this oath, the Cholos family will be punished by heaven!"

Jindouzi would definitely not dare to do this.

After all, this was arranged by the princess.

The reason why it is made by Jindouzi.

It's because Jin Douzi was raised by his aunt, and Jin Douzi is the most suitable person to send his uncle to his aunt's courtyard!
This kindness.

He would never be able to repay it in his lifetime.

His lineage, the Ross family, has only one purpose in the future.

That is to protect Yanhua, who is the descendant of the princess and the prince, and will die until his death!

As for what will happen after my uncle wakes up at dawn tomorrow.

I can only wait until dawn tomorrow to see.
