The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 541 Let's all shed some blood first, and the money will be fine in the future!
Seeing the crowd looking at her excitedly, Zhu Linmei raised her hand and said: "The imperial court has also considered everyone's livelihood. This is the good news I just said."

All the vassal kings became quiet after hearing the words, and pricked up their ears.

"First of all, Taizu forbade clan relatives to do farming and business, but he didn't say that relatives and servants in the family were not allowed to do these things. Just like doing business, if the shop is under the name of the concubine's brother-in-law, it does not violate the ancestral system. Or the palace It has nothing to do with you if the hundreds of servants in the village go to tend the crops themselves."

The vassal kings' eyes lit up, they looked at each other and nodded.In fact, they have been doing similar things for a long time, but they just dare not do it blatantly and openly. After all, if there are officials who refer to their own book for such things, the gains will outweigh the losses.

Now listening to the meaning of the assistant king, it is ready to open this hole.As long as the imperial court turns a blind eye, it makes no difference who runs the so-called shops and land, as long as the ultimate benefit falls to the palace.

Seeing that everyone calmed down, Zhu Linming continued: "Of course, the imperial court will give a salary to the clan members who have contributed to the country as a token of gratitude." The honor of being a subject lasts only one generation and cannot be hereditary."

After he finished speaking, Changsha King Zhu Changpi, who had been silent all this time, took half a step forward cautiously, and stammered, "Fu, Fu Zheng Wang, brother, I don't know anything about business or farming... If, if you do it These, I'm afraid, will be completely lost... Here, there are hundreds of mouths in my house, look at this..."

Most people in later generations think that being a landlord is nothing more than bullying and bullying tenant farmers, collecting rent and rent, which is easy and enjoyable.In fact, the landlords in the Ming Dynasty were far less comfortable. They had to take care of everything in the field. If they were not familiar with farming, they would even be fooled by cunning tenants.

Zhu Changpi's words were also echoed by many vassal kings who felt sorry for each other.The family members of the Ming Dynasty have been raised like pigs for hundreds of years, and they have long been inactive. If they are suddenly allowed to "live on their own", some people may lose their family property.

Zhu Linmei was already prepared for this, in fact, this is what he wants to talk about today.

He looked at King Changsha with a "very understandable" expression, nodded and said, "The imperial court has put a lot of thought into this situation and has made the best plan for everyone.

"You are worried that you won't make money if you don't manage it well. It doesn't matter. The imperial court has selected a lot of profitable items for you to choose from. There are great talents in the world to take care of them with all their heart. We can guarantee that we will make a lot of money every day. We can just collect the dividends."

Zhu Changpi asked again in a low voice: "Your Highness's money-making matters refer to..."

"There are a lot of choices," Zhu Linmi said with a smile, "Depending on the risk, the rewards are also different.

"The one with the highest income is the soon-to-be-established 'Daming Ocean Caravan'. In the early stage, the caravan will consist of [-] seagoing ships of more than [-] materials, and [-] other small boats. They will specialize in doing business with the barbarians. Everyone You may also have heard that once the silk from Jiangsu and Zhejiang is exported to the sea, the price is several times more expensive than gold.
"In addition, the caravan is also used for overseas exploration. If you can find the land of no man, it will be like finding a cornucopia. The new territory can continuously transport all kinds of minerals, wood, and special products to Daming. It’s just pulling back the money boat by boat!”

Seeing that the eyes of the vassal kings were full of gold and silver, he immediately added, "Of course, the sea is ruthless, and the risk of this ocean caravan is also the greatest. But I can guarantee that if everyone invests money in the caravan , at least [-]% of the net profit every year!
"If you just take some money and invest in the ocean caravan, you will definitely not have a day of sitting and eating."

1% profit? !That is to say, 500 taels of silver is [-] taels of interest per year!This is simply usury!Immediately, the vassal king thought of the pile of moldy silver in the cellar of his palace, and was heartbroken. Why didn't such a good thing happen earlier?This is how much less money!

However, Zhu Changpi lowered his head and hesitated again: "Associate King, I will leave it to God to sail the boat out to sea. I, I'm just afraid of this... You just said that there are many options, and the others..."

"Ah, everyone thinks that the risk of maritime business is high, and there are other matters here.

"For example, the imperial court is going to have a decisive battle with the captives at the mouth of the Yangtze River recently. The navy is the most important thing! In addition to the caravan just mentioned, there will be countless warships and merchant ships in the future. So the Longjiang and Yongbei Li All the shipyards are going to be expanded, and everyone is also accepted to participate in the stock. The interest is a little less, but there is still an eight-cent interest every year."

The Ming Dynasty banned the sea for many years, and these feudal lords were still a little bit guilty about matters related to this aspect.

Seeing this, Zhu Linmei continued: "The second thing is that the imperial court will build a large number of iron yards in Foshan, Fujing and other places, from cannons and firecrackers to axles and agricultural tools. The shareholders of the iron yards will get six points of profit every year..."

He continued to talk about several projects that can be "invested", all of which are more important to Daming at the moment, and finally said: "If you still feel that the above is not stable, I have another thing that can make money without losing money - investing in shares Build a wooden track from Yingtan, Guangxin to Yanzhou, Zhejiang. Although the annual interest is only [-] cent or [-]%, it is guaranteed by the imperial court, and the Ministry of Finance and Households will directly distribute it." Then he briefly explained how the wooden track was.

This main wooden rail traffic line coincides with the later Zhejiang-Jiangxi line railway, which can greatly improve the transportation capacity of the hinterland of Jiangxi and the Jiangsu-Zhejiang area.After arriving in Yanzhou, you can go north to Hangzhou along the Qiantang River, and then go directly to Nanjing through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

After this wooden track is completed, the speed of dispatching troops from Jiangxi, Huguang, and even Guangdong and Fujing to Nanjing will be more than twice as fast as it is now!After the two ends extend to Nanchang and Hangzhou in the future, this speed can be doubled!
At the same time, the rich materials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can also be transported to the mainland for sale through this road, which greatly enhances the economic flow of Ming Dynasty.

The King of Han was puzzled and said: "Associate King, listen to what you said just now, this wooden track is for road construction. I only know that road construction has always been a bottomless pit, and no amount of silver is enough to go in. Why can it generate money here? "

Before Zhu Linmei had time to explain, King Rong Yuan from near Yunnan said: "King Han doesn't know something, this wooden rail is very convenient, a horse can carry a thousand catties of goods, and the speed is several times faster than ordinary carriages. times.

"The vicinity of Kunming has been built for more than 20 miles, and there are many vehicles passing by every day. Although each vehicle only charges seven cents, it is not a small amount over the years."

Zhu Linmei nodded and said: "That's right. Besides collecting road money, the wooden track along the way must be extremely prosperous, and the rent and sale of the ground on both sides of the road is also a big income."

　Thanks: Smile in November, Xuezhong Pan, and Hahuo for their generosity!Thank you very much for your long-term strong support, I am grateful, thank you!
