Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 54 Let’s rename America first
Zhu Ping changed his plan and laid rail tracks across the entire line, mainly in the northeast direction. Naturally, he was preparing for the railway to be able to go directly to Jinling.

So this time, when he returned to Jinling, Zhu Xi planned to ask Zhu Yuanzhang in person to draw a route, and then give him full authority to manage it.

Zhu Yuanzhang probably would not agree to this matter.

But Zhu Xi also has confidence.

Because, he is rich.

Real money!

Zhu Yuanzhang issued the Daming Banknotes, and then began to print money without restriction, resulting in the exchange of Daming Banknotes for silver, which has always been equal to one tael of silver, and has depreciated to one tael of silver, which can be exchanged for [-] pieces of Daming Banknotes.

This is thirty times the leverage!

The entire Ming Dynasty treasury required more than thirty times as much gold and silver as the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, and Zhu Yuanzhang was still printing treasure banknotes, which caused the private economy to collapse.

So, a vicious circle came.

The private economy is sluggish, and the state treasury can collect less taxes.

Then, the annual expenditure of the national treasury is essential.

How to do it?

I can only continue printing.

Then the banknotes continued to depreciate, and the private economy further slumped...

Therefore, the Ministry of Accounts suffers a large deficit every year.

Everyone has also realized that printing money will not work.

The more treasure banknotes you print, the less valuable the treasure banknotes will be, and people will not use treasure banknotes, because you, a small family, have worked hard for decades, accumulated ten taels of silver, and then exchanged them for treasure banknotes. As a result, in less than a year, the treasure banknotes were worth less than three cents. Who would be willing to do such a thing?
Many poor families even sold their sons and daughters because of this.

This has further exacerbated the deterioration of the market.

So now, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer dares to print money.

He needed gold, silver, and a lot of copper coins to add to the national treasury, and then find ways to stimulate the economy... Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand this, and neither did many officials in the court.

They're all going by their gut.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang was short of money, Zhu Ping would give him money.

Maritime merchants went to sea for trade and brought back not only ores and oil, but also gold, silver, gems, pearls, etc...

These things are considered hard currency.

Most of this wealth was finally amassed by Zhu Xi.

When the time comes, Zhu Xi can just throw money at it!

He must open the railway from Panyu to Jinling.

Think of it as buying land!

Once the railway is opened, it will not only be cheaper for Zhu Ping to do business with Shen Sen, it will also increase the price of raw silk, cloth and silk produced in Lingnan, improving Lingnan's economy. Zhu Ping can even try to change the Ming Dynasty. The capital of Jinling!

This is the capital of a country.

If he could increase his influence to Jinling, then Zhu Feng, the King of Qin, would be qualified to fight for the foundation of the country!
This is a major matter related to Zhu Ping's fate.

Zhu Xi was naturally unambiguous.

If you spend some money, so what?
Next, Daotong made another request: "Your Highness, from Xin'an, Dongguan to Panyu, and then Huixian, Foshan and other places, power plants need to be built. The current power plants in Xin'an are already somewhat insufficient." At this time, you ask people from the Construction Bureau to come forward, ask county magistrates from various places to recruit people from the private sector, and ask Mr. Yuan’s school to send professionals to guide the construction. When the time comes, you and Mr. Yuan will discuss a plan. When I come back, Let’s deal with it together.” Zhu Xi said that he has no interest in planning things like building a power plant.

Leave it to the people below to do it. When the time comes, he can get construction points as long as he agrees.

Seeing the two items proposed by Daotong, Zhu Ping agreed happily, and Xiang Hai was also ready to make a move. He said: "Your Highness, the Daotai Yamen has not yet been found. Look..."

Zhu Fang was happy and said with a smile: "Why, you have been promoted to the Taoist platform, and even the Yamen wants me to give it to you? Okay... Daotong, where has Panyu County expanded to now?"

"It has already been planned for the Haizhu area." Daotong responded.

"We're about to cross the river!"

Zhu Xi said: "That side of the river is Baiyun Town, right? Xiang Hai, what do you think of the Taoist platform and the three provincial departments being set up over there?"

King Qin spoke, what could Xiang Hai say?
After the ups and downs last time, Xiang Hai now has complicated emotions towards Zhu Xi.

I respect it, fear it, and have no choice but to do it.

"It's up to His Highness to decide!"

Xiang Hai responded with a grimace.

It seems that His Highness still hates himself!
Otherwise, why kick yourself so far?
Although he felt bitter in his heart, Xiang Hai was a man whose loyalty and morality were engraved in his bones. He did not dare to be disrespectful to Zhu Ping in the slightest, not even the slightest offense to his inner thoughts.

"That's it."

Zhu Xi stood up and said: "I leave everything to you here. When I come back, I hope that the railway tracks that are already under construction can be laid to Xin'an County, and then the other four railway tracks will also start to be laid. In addition, public security On the other hand, remember to catch them strictly! Under my rule, evil forces are not allowed to exist. If you catch one, kill each one, and capture them all to build roads for me!"

Zhu Xi is not polite.

Anyway, Lingnan is his one-stop shop.

He will do what he says!
After bidding farewell to these people, Zhu Xi came to see Shen Sen.

When he saw Zhu Ming, Shen Sen quickly stood up, bowed and said, "Your Highness!"

It has been less than half a year since I have been dealing with Zhu Xi.

From not understanding it at the beginning, to gradually coming into contact with many high-tech technologies in Panyu County, Shen Sen now admires Zhu Chong endlessly, and he can't help but feel a huge gap in his heart.

This sense of disparity, coupled with Zhu Ping's status as a prince, was further magnified, making Shen Sen fearful of Zhu Ping.

Therefore, Shen Sen, who has always wanted to go to sea, no matter how strong his desire was, he could only suppress himself and did not dare to make mistakes or make any small moves secretly.

But this time, when Zhu Ping came back from the sea, he sent someone to tell Shen Sen that he planned to give Shen Sen two ships.

Steamboat!
This is something Shen Sen wants to see through!
Immediately, Shen Sen came to see Zhu Ming.

"sit down."

Zhu Xi stretched out his palm and pressed it, then he sat on the main seat and said to Shen Sen: "I am going back to Beijing, and you should also know about my father's birthday. When the time comes, you can follow me Let's go back together. Two ships are also arranged for you. However, your ship cannot sail to the South or West Ocean."

"Where are we going then?"

Shen Sen asked depressedly: "Are you going to Japan?"

"This small country will be destroyed sooner or later when I take over Nanyang. What are you doing there?"

Zhu Xi said angrily: "The place I want you to go to is America...forget it, there is no name there anyway, so I will change the name again! Change North America to Ming Dynasty plus America, and South America Change it to our Ming Dynasty’s Bating Prefecture, and it will all be our Ming Dynasty’s territory in the future anyway!”

With that said, Zhu Xi took out the globe.
