The sugar of Liuqiu, the rice of Champong, the hemp of Bengal and the cotton of Xindu, the cattle and sheep of the grassland, and the spices of the South Seas.
The products of the Quartet converge in the Central Plains, and the port cities along the coast of the Central Plains are prosperous because of this.
According to incomplete statistics, Dahua now has more than 50,000 merchant ships, which is quite an astonishing number.
From the East China Sea to the South Sea, to the Pacific Ocean, the Xindu Ocean and even the Atlantic Ocean, from the Liaodong Peninsula to the Korean Strait, to the Bering Strait, from Luzon to Lijiapo to Xindu Port, from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean.
Even from Dahua to Australia to the Americas to Very, the ocean is full of Dahua merchant ships.
Dahua has earned the title of a sea coachman.
Jiaozhou, Qinzhou, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou, Dengzhou, these major trading ports, basically the port has thousands of merchant ships parked all year round.
Dahua's merchant ships occupy almost ninety percent of the world's total tonnage and monopolize almost all maritime trade.
The number of merchant ships in the rest of the countries was very small, and those foreign merchants preferred to hire Dahua's merchant ships directly to transport their goods.
The navy of Dahua is invincible across the sea, and no country such as Arabia, Rome, the Ring of the Sun, and the death of Sri Buddha can have a fleet that can really fight with the Dahua Navy.
Even the poor navies of Rome and Arabia were in fact entirely the product of borrowing from Dahua for military purchases.
The vast majority of the warships used are old warships after Dahua was eliminated, or warships that were equipped during the Zhenguan period, and now all such warships have been retired and replaced with the latest warships.
Their fleet was small in number, their warships were small, and the number of sail battleguns was even smaller.
It can be said that it is completely impossible to use that bit of warship to confront the Dahua Navy.
"The Age of Exploration has truly arrived, and we Dahua are also standing on the cusp of the storm."
In Beiyuan, Zhang Chao was dressed in casual attire, drinking tea and enjoying the coolness, so uncomfortable.
"In just 20 years, a lot has changed.
In general, it is good, but Danchen has observed carefully over the years, and he has also found many bad signs. ” Fang Xuanling was in charge of the Hanlin Academy, as an important minister in charge of the power of refutation and deliberation, he was responsible for decision-making and governance in the past, and turned to refutation and deliberation, and his position was different, and the angle of considering the problem also became very different.
"In the past, men ploughed and women weaved, and silk silk and copper coins also traveled the world.
The lives of the people are very stable, and nothing will change even for generations.
But today, it's extremely mobile.
Just talking about this silk, silk is no longer a currency, and it cannot be directly carried on its back as a currency transaction, nor can it be used to pay taxes. ” "The most important thing is that today's technology is also changing with each passing day, and with the advent of this patent law, new technologies can benefit a lot when they are patented.
In particular, those businessmen with capital are able to use new technologies to translate into more profits. ” Compared with 20 years ago, the efficiency of the new spinning wheel and loom has been increased by ten or even dozens of times, especially the emergence of water-powered spinning wheels.
In Gangnam, there are textile mills everywhere.
In those textile factories, there are thousands of female workers, and thousands of textile machines are already considered to be of average scale.
Even the bigger ones have tens of thousands of workers.
They use new technologies and new machines to produce on an assembly line, and the output of one day is the amount that ordinary peasant women could not have imagined in the traditional hand-weaving in the past.
The silk, cotton, and cloth produced by these textile mills are under their impact because of their large scale and lower cost.
Nowadays, the traditional model of male ploughing and female weaving is basically broken.
In the past, the whole people planted mulberry and hemp, spun silk and weave, and the silk cloth every year was hand-woven by the family.
Now, under the onslaught of the factory, the vast majority of women have given up on home textiles.
They don't have the slightest advantage in weaving, and they can't make money at all.
Many farmers are still growing hemp and mulberry and raising silkworms, but they no longer weave.
They sold the harvested hemp directly to the merchants, and the cocoons to the cocoon merchants.
Of course, there are also some bold farmers who have expanded their operations and specialized in sericulture business.
In the past, mulberry planting, silkworm raising, and weaving were all integrated, but now, they are being separated.
"Fang Gong, this is actually a good thing.
With the rise of the textile industry, there are more and more factories, the cost is getting lower and lower, and the production capacity and efficiency are getting higher and higher, although it has an impact on the traditional home textile.
But you should also see that the vast majority of Han families in Dahua today have been allocated a lot of land, not weaving, but can buy cheap silk, cotton, cloth, women no longer weave, but can specialize in mulberry and silkworm breeding, or help plant more land, or engage in family farming. ” Social development is like this, it is not static, and not everyone is self-sufficient.
Self-sufficiency may sound great, but it's not really developing.
The more division of labor, the better, everyone only engaged in the same division of labor, more skilled skills, higher production capacity, the lower the cost of goods, everyone uses their work income to buy the rest of the needs, this model is the normal life of later generations.
For the imperial court, if everyone is self-sufficient, and there is only a small amount of trade, then there is no circulation of goods, no commercial transactions, and the court has always collected taxes The tax collected by the Ding tax and the land tax is too small, and even if the poll tax such as the salt tax is added, it is actually unable to adapt to the current situation.
In the past, the imperial court paid attention to the lack of officials and officials, and the management was even more sheep-herding management, but now, there are many officials and more troops in the imperial court, and there are even special police forces such as tax police.
The management of the imperial court is more detailed.
"The minister also understands this, but the minister still wants to remind His Majesty.

In the past, although merchants had capital, they did not have status, and their capital was often limited and could not play much crops.
But now, capital has been liberalized, and they have shown more and more strength, especially industrial and commercial capital has been converging with the aristocracy and bureaucracy to form bureaucratic capital, aristocratic capital, and landlord capital, and they are involved in various fields. ” Capital has the instinct to pursue profits, and they are born to chase profits.
For the sake of this desire instinct, they sometimes even overwhelm everything in front of them.
Zhang Chao was also wary of this, and for this reason, he particularly enacted such as the labor protection bill, formulated the minimum wage standard, formulated the work-related injury compensation standard, and formulated the standard of vacation and overtime compensation.
There are also things such as the Business Administration Act, the Industrial and Commercial Tax Act, and so on.
These laws and regulations are introduced to restrain this emerging capital power.
"The collusion between officials and businessmen, the transfer of interests, these things have become more and more serious.
Many businessmen have now become guests of honour of officials in the local government, evading taxes, using illegal labor, failing to pay the minimum wage, working overtime without making up wages, and even maliciously failing to pay wages, and fining and deducting workers' wages for various reasons. ” "Collusion between officials and businessmen, this kind of thing will definitely happen, this is like official corruption, even if Dahua has just opened the country, this kind of thing is less, but it is difficult to put an end to it.
The imperial court cannot say that because of the collusion between officials and businessmen, it will change the current system and return to the situation of the past. ” "The relationship in the past was simpler, but it wasn't a good system.
In any case, everyone's life is better than in the past, at least the vast majority of Chinese people have solved the problem of food and clothing, and the vast majority of children can go to free primary schools, and they can open their eyes to literacy and no longer be blind. ” At any given time, there are always problems in society, but we also have to look at the bright side.
Of course, now because of the prosperity of industry and commerce, everyone is slowly looking at money, and even laughing at poverty rather than prostitution.
But everyone's life has really changed for the better.
"We should persist in reform and opening up, and crack down on those unscrupulous businessmen, officials, and even those nobles as long as they commit crimes.
If they dare to shake the foundation of our Dahua, Dahua will dare to destroy them first. ” Zhang Chao's establishment of the tax police is specially designed to face the increasingly complex taxation environment.
The six doors and flying horses in his hands are also used for monitoring and anti-corruption.
"In fact, in the face of this situation, it is not that there is no way to deal with it, if the situation is not serious, then knock and knock, if it is serious, kill a group of people.
In any case, killing is always the most effective at any time.
Emperor Zhang Chao's words revealed a cold killing intent.
No matter how much the merchants jumped, no matter how they colluded with the nobles or the bureaucrats, for now, none of them could stand up to the court.
Now, after all, it is the beginning of the founding of the country, and capital has not yet formed the kind of terrifying point that can influence the political and national situation of the DPRK.
Zhang Chao said in a word, there are flying horses and six fans, and if you want to check a batch of typical ones, it is not easy.
At that time, the emperor will kill the word, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and the princes from all over the country, who dares to say a word If you kill a batch, you will definitely be able to manage it for a while.
With such a sword hanging over their heads, everyone has to be cautious.
Zhang Chao never thought that he could put an end to this kind of evil behavior, just like Zhu Yuanzhang killed corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and even those officials couldn't put an end to corruption.
However, in the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, corrupt officials were still much better than at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
"The Hanlin Academy will take the lead, and then the three law divisions, the two houses of the parliament, plus the six gates, the Jinyi Guard, and the Flying Cavalry will jointly establish an inspection team to specifically supervise this special issue.
From the central government to the localities, from the Central Plains to overseas, all localities must be investigated, and even cross-checked, and then investigated. ” This operation is aimed at striking hard at the economy.
We must strictly investigate such problems as tax evasion, the production of counterfeit and shoddy products, smuggling, illegal employment, arrears of wages and debts, and even collusion between officials and businessmen, collusion in bidding and bid-rigging, and the resignation of officials who follow the rules and regulations of their relations. 144 t1706231537:
