Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 299 Intensive Development (3)

"Your Majesty's game of chess is brilliant. He uses the bonds issued by the Shaofu to absorb gold and silver from the people, and then develops the Shaofu's special Arms Cleaning Department. In this way, he can contain the Ordnance Bureau under the Ministry of Industry. , the most important point is that you don’t have to look at the faces of foreign civil servants.”

"But if you do this, wouldn't the corresponding functions overlap? I always feel that the emperor's plan is more than what we see. If you think about the Integrity Institute who left the capital, and then think about the unknown bond purchase, What exactly is the imperial brother planning?"

"If it is purely for the development and governance of Beizhili, based on what we have seen, there are indeed many places that are difficult to explain. The most puzzling thing is His Majesty's attitude. While making a steady start, he also There are signs of urgency everywhere, which is very contradictory.”

"It's profit!! I understand, Brother Huang is grabbing time and trying to squeeze out the sores. If you think about it carefully, if what Brother Huang planned is really implemented one by one in the end, whose interests will suffer the most? Woolen cloth?"

"Those civil servants in the court?"

"Yes, but no. To be precise, it should be the people behind them. After all, the civil servants in the DPRK, especially the various parties and factions, are fighting for power and profit in the DPRK. When tracing back to the source, aren't they still for profit? ? But if Beizhili is really allowed to develop, who will lose the most?"

Under the night, the Yangxin Hall was still brightly lit. After a busy day, Zhu Yujian and Zhu Youjian did not go to bed early to rest, but instead gathered together to discuss.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Yangxin Hall, there are many documents and files, and there are even many maps displayed on the walls and floors. Because of the examination proposed by Zhu Youxiao, even if the two of them returned to the Yangxin Hall to rest, they would Go to bed very late.

The only advantage of being young is that you are full of energy and have a strong ability to recover.

"My lord~"

When the sound of Zhu Yujian and Zhu Youjian's discussions continued to be heard from Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao stood quietly outside Dongnuan Pavilion, looking at the two through the window. Liu Ruoyu stepped forward in a low voice, "Do you want me to be my slave..."

"no need."

Zhu Youxiao, with a slight smile on his lips, reached out and interrupted: "Let's go back to Kunning Palace."

"Here."

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly bowed his head in response.

Zhu Youxiao is quite pleased with the discussion between Zhu Yujian and Zhu Youjian. No matter how strong a person is, there will always be deviations in the level of thinking about the problem. However, in the mutual discussion, each other can explain what they think. , even if there are big differences in the middle, once the suspected things are clarified, the changes are quite significant.

On the way to Kunning Palace.

"How are the old ladies living in Nanyuan now?" Zhu Youxiao did not sit in the sedan chair, but strolled forward and asked Liu Ruoyu who was accompanying him.

"Everyone has adapted."

Liu Ruoyu lowered his head and said, "The registration of these palace maids was completed not long ago by the imperial department."

"Please hand over all their rosters to the young master."

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said calmly: "Tomorrow, I will go to Nanyuan with the Director of Ceremonies and select a group of people who know how to weave. We will temporarily organize help and education in Nanyuan until the newly established light Once the work force and officials are settled down, and the textile factories built in the suburbs of Beijing are completed, let’s arrange for them to work there.”

"My servant obeys the order!" Liu Ruoyu hurriedly bowed in response.

There is an overall idea. Zhu Yujian and Zhu Youjian were right when they discussed it. Zhu Youxiao was indeed planning a big game. He wanted to develop and build Beizhili, effectively implement the intensive handmade manufacturing industry, and make the capital city more prosperous. Strategy, Tianjin sea opening strategy, Tangshan intensive smelting strategy and other implementation, internal funds cannot be unilaterally withdrawn but not withdrawn.

Just like sparing no effort to develop the military industry, it is to raise the upper limit of technology and productivity so that it can broaden the upstream and downstream industrial chains. Therefore, no matter how much money is spent, even if there is no return at the moment, as time goes by, The rewards and benefits can be seen.

However, long-term returns and benefits must be followed up, but short-term returns and benefits must also be increased. After all, if a virtuous economic cycle is not formed, it is destined not to last long.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao also wants to expand in the fields of industries with low investment and quick results in the name of Shaofu. Such as textiles, civil iron products, coal industry, colored glaze, perfume, daily necessities and other light industrial industries, Zhu Youxiao wants to expand scale. Preparing for construction in a standardized manner.

As for the sales level, one relies on convenience stores, one relies on Tianjin Thirteenth Bank, and one relies on imperial stores. Even if the current market environment is not as good as imagined, Zhu Youxiao firmly believes that with a group of As the batch of people who have been released from production gather in Beizhili, the self-sufficiency model of the small-scale peasant economy will be gradually reversed and changed.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing."

Liu Ruoyu thought of something and hurriedly reported to the emperor: "The Thirteen Banks have been established under the rule of Tianjin. According to the news from Yousi, there are many high-ranking officials in Beijing who have sent their confidants to the southeastern provinces."

"The action is really fast enough."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "It seems that the north-south sea transportation is much faster than expected. I just don't know... how long it will take for the Western merchants who are entrenched in the Nanyang countries to go north to Tianjin."

Opening the sea is an important part of Zhu Youxiao's plan, but it is not an urgent matter. After all, there are too many uncertain factors.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send some people to Haojing?" Liu Ruoyu thought for a while, lowered his head and said, "There are many Western Yi merchants under Haojing's rule. If..."

"Do you think the nobles in Beijing have not thought of this level?"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Liu Ruoyu and said: "The ones who are most eager to make money by opening up the sea right now are these nobles, and of course, the groups under their sect."

Among the nobles in Beijing, Zhu Youxiao knew very well what kind of virtue most of them were. If they were not interested in making money, then they would have nothing else to do.

For the purpose of the Tianjin Thirteenth Bank, they invested a lot of gold and silver. A considerable number of them used their own accumulated money in the name of others to purchase the Tianjin Thirteenth Bank's silver shares. Zhu You The school didn't say much else. Anyway, the money was just start-up capital.

"By the way, remember to remind me tomorrow."

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said: "We need to provide an additional internal fund for the government-built shipyard set up in Tianjin. Since the Thirteenth Bank has successfully planned to build it in Tianjin, the shipbuilding industry must also form a large scale as soon as possible."

"The slaves obey the order."

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly bowed his head in response.

Opening up the sea is no different than other undertakings. It takes a long time to settle down. After all, shipbuilding is an extremely cumbersome matter, and in the vast sea area, if you want to control the route dominance, you cannot do it without absolute maritime power.
