Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 892 Accumulation
"Still lacking shipbuilding talent?"

Zhu Youxiao frowned and said, "I remember that the Ship Cleaning Office received a few special funds to be responsible for the construction of various shipbuilding departments. Did something go wrong during this period?"

"Your Majesty, this is not about silver!"

Wang Zheng walked out of the crowd, bowed to the emperor and said, "Regarding the establishment of various shipbuilding academies, there are not only in the coastal areas of Liaodong, but also in northern Zhili, Tianjin, Shandong coastal areas and other places. Up to now, more than 3 students have been recruited, of which nearly % are backbone apprentices of various shipyards."

"The current urgent shortage of shipbuilding talents is not only in Liaodong shipbuilding industry, but also in northern Zhili, Tianjin and Shandong shipbuilding industries."

"The only thing we can do to reverse this situation is to wait. These students in various shipbuilding academies must undergo a period of full-time training so that they can learn systematic knowledge."

"Is it not possible to study and practice at the same time?"

Sun Guozhen frowned and said, "Regarding this matter, officials from Liaodong, Northern Zhili, Tianjin, Shandong and other places have sent people to Beijing more than once to complain to the officials of the Ministry of Finance."

It looks like there's going to be a lawsuit.

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he immediately understood what was going on.

Among the departments under the Shaofu, there are several special ones, one of which is the Ship Cleaning Department. Wang Zheng, the chief officer of the Ship Department, spends only a few days in Beijing in a year, and he travels around the country to handle various matters for a long time.

This also led to some things that inevitably accumulated and led to conflicts because Wang Zheng was not in Beijing.

“That’s how short-sighted they are!!”

Wang Zheng said, "In the shipbuilding academies in various places, the talents that really need to be cultivated are these key apprentices. If they don't leave their jobs for further studies, how can they study new warships in the future?"

"Other students will be assigned to various shipyards after graduation from various shipbuilding academies. Those with outstanding performance will have to return to the Shipbuilding Academy for further study. This time, it will be at the Tianjin Shipbuilding Academy!!"

Wang Zheng has his own ideas about the construction and development of the ship system. The Ming Dynasty had lost too much in shipbuilding.

The emperor now attaches so much importance to ships, and is consciously opening up the sea for trade. He is even planning to build three fleets in the northern waters of the Ming Dynasty and formally building the Ming Royal Navy. The key is that the emperor has given a clear attitude to the various problems mentioned earlier and then solved them, which makes Wang Zheng excited.

He hopes that the Ming Dynasty's shipping industry will be able to break through to a new level in the future and then crush the maritime forces that are currently roaming the seas.

But all this takes time!

Without the accumulation of time, none of this will work.

"Let's do this according to Wang Qing's wishes."

Under such circumstances, Zhu Youxiao expressed his attitude, "The shipbuilding industry has developed rapidly, but the foundation is equally important. We should have a long-term vision in this field and not just focus on the present. If we only consider the present and ignore the long-term when doing anything, do you think the Ming Dynasty can go long-term?"

Sun Guozhen was silent.

How could he not know these principles? However, the prosperity and development of the shipbuilding industry has brought about so many changes, and the indirect benefits have also been huge.

On one hand is the reality, on the other hand is the future.

As one of the senior officials of the Shaofu, he had many issues to consider. After all, the current Shaofu needed to continuously increase its financial income in order to meet its high expenses. The pressure of being an official in the Shaofu was much greater than that of being an official in the outer court.

Many areas involved in Shaofu are of certain exploratory significance. Only when Shaofu is successful can it be implemented on a large scale in local areas.

Just like the smelting industry, the industries currently distributed in northern Zhili, Tianjin, Liaodong, Shandong and other places, in addition to a large number of state-owned workshops, there are also a number of private workshops. These private workshops, after obtaining approval from the corresponding officials of the Shaofu and paying the corresponding guarantee silver, can recruit workers for smelting. The various types of iron materials, steel materials, etc. produced will be purchased in bulk by other state-owned industries under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu.

The reasons for these changes are, on the one hand, to standardize taxation, and on the other hand, to expand the circulation of the new currency. Especially the latter, the Shaofu has the responsibility and obligation to continuously expand the circulation of the new currency.

For nothing else.

For the sake of seigniorage, this must be done well.

At present, the new coins minted by the Mint have been widely circulated in northern Zhili, Tianjin, Liaodong, Shandong and other places, and this proportion is increasing.

Fortunately, there is a seigniorage, which ensures that the high expenditures of the Shaofu can be covered by a stable source of funds. Otherwise, this approach would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Due to the increase in the circulation of the new currency, a large number of local banks were closed or merged last year. The issue of the central bank's currency recovery has been proceeding step by step.

"continue."

Zhu Youxiao stood with his hands behind his back.

After hearing this, Sun Guozhen, Wang Zheng and others looked at each other with different expressions on their faces, and the court discussion against Liaodong continued.

"Brother Jian, did you notice?"

As the court discussion continued, Zhu Youjian, who had been silent, whispered to Zhu Youjian: "Although the chaos in the southeastern provinces is still continuing, the northern parts of the Ming Dynasty have not been affected at all. They have even maintained a high efficiency and are constantly advancing various plans and deployments."

“How come you didn’t notice it?”

Zhu Youjian said: "Especially Liaodong. I have participated in the imperial court discussions in the past few days. I found that Liaodong has created too many miracles."

"Although many people still think that Liaodong is a cold and barren place, the changes that have taken place in Liaodong are very surprising."

"Yes."

Zhu Youjian said with emotion: "The population in Liaodong has exceeded 300 million, but the report of the Ministry of Finance did not include Korean immigrants. If they were included, the population of Liaodong would be even higher."

"What shocked me the most was that the proportion of grain purchased by Liaodong from abroad was actually declining. It seems that the progress made in Liaodong's agricultural development has achieved extremely high results!"

"indeed."

Zhu Youjian nodded and said, "Diverting water to plant rice, and promoting crops such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes have brought great changes to Liaodong."

"Based on this trend, if Liaodong can maintain this governance and development model for several years, or even longer, it will definitely become the Jiangnan outside the Great Wall of our dynasty in the future!!"

Zhu Youjian's eyes became sharp, and he secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he must help Liaodong in Korea and ensure that this momentum will not be affected by the war and broken. Liaodong's current situation is really hard-won! !
