Su Song Chang Sanfu.As the war entered the confrontation, Zhao Ming's energy quickly shifted to the recovery of production and the expansion of strength.In the middle of the seventeenth century, when time was running out, many countries and nations of the world would be engaged in a race, and if they missed it, they could miss the next hundred years, or even be completely destroyed.In this game, every nation is caught in it, no one can escape, and if you can't move forward, or even run a little slower, you will pay a heavy price, let alone drive backwards.In Zhao Ming's view, anything that does not aim to win in the race is a waste of time.Regarding the dispute between the Longwu Imperial Court and Sun Kewang, Zhu Yihai of Hangzhou may be very concerned, but Zhao Ming is too lazy to pay attention to it.He knew that these people were not very reliable, so he didn't expect much from them.In order to recover the world and defeat the Manchu Qing, he always believed that the key was to be tough enough.With the retreat of Mandahai, Zhao Ming left 30,000 troops, stationed on the front line of Wujin, monitored and shocked the Qing army, and asked people to go to Ryukyu to pull white ash back, build a defensive line, and prepare to resist the next attack of the Qing army, so he shifted his attention to the reorganization of the new army, counted the captures, and resumed production.Su Songchang Sanfu was the richest place in the Ming Dynasty.Earlier, Suzhou alone provided one-tenth of the country's taxes for the Ming Dynasty.The tax revenue of a government is higher than that of a province, which shows the wealth of Suzhou.Although the Qing army occupied Jiangnan, it dealt a great economic blow to Su Songchang, but it is still one of the best places in the world.Suzhou, where the right capital governor's mansion is located.After occupying Su Songchang, Donghai Town had to change its strategy of sea guerrillas, and Zhao Ming moved his right army to Suzhou.The marshal shogunate, as well as the yamen and officials who commanded the envoys in Zhejiang, also went ashore and moved to Suzhou City.Zhao Ming now controls a vast area, and the Zhejiang Metropolitan Command Envoy actually can't manage such a big stall, but at the moment, whether it is Liaodong, Shandong Coast, or Taiwan, they are all commanding the envoy to manage.After Zhao Ming set up the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Suzhou, he immediately issued orders, and the first order was "Fu Yi Guan".In various states and counties, notices were posted one after another, demanding that the gentry and common people restore their proper clothing and uniforms.As soon as this order came out, in the east of the lake, the gentry and the common people abandoned their full clothes and hats, cheered and cheered in Taoist clothes and scarves, and the soldiers wearing net scarves hugged each other and cried.However, perhaps because there is no braided or headless in the proclamation of the "Fuyi Guan" order, there are many gentry in the land of Su Songchang, because they are afraid of the Manchu comeback, so they are reluctant to cut their braids, worried that the Qing soldiers will come and lose their heads.In this regard, Zhao Ming was furious, ordered the state capitals to count the number of people, and then sent officials to lock up those who were unwilling to cut their hair, and forcibly cut their braids in public.Zhao Ming's second order is "resuming production and revitalizing industry and commerce".As soon as this proclamation came out, it shocked the Hudong area greatly, and the government supported industry and commerce, which surprised the gentry and the common people and caused a lot of criticism.Zhao Ming used Huaxing Company to invest in shares and give orders to support Su Songchang's workshops that had closed down or were facing closure, gave them funds to restart, and distributed a batch of orders to them, wanting to save these precious sprouts.When society develops to a certain stage and completes a certain accumulation, it will metamorphose to another stage.If the process is smooth, that is, the society has completed the reform and presented a new social relationship and form, and if it fails, it must be re-accumulated and started all over again.The germination of capital has appeared several times in Chinese history, and each time it has not had time to transform, and the society has collapsed due to internal and external troubles.If the sprouts are destroyed again this time, then the sprouts will grow again, and it is estimated that the daylilies will be cold.Zhao Ming's order went down, which surprised and delighted the gentry in Hudong.The businessmen were happy to get the attention of the imperial court and have capital injection, but they were surprised that the government's attention to industry and commerce might not be a good thing for them, and there would be fewer opportunities to make a fortune quietly.Suzhou, Weaving Bureau Warehouse.Zhao Ming led a group of people and was inspecting the materials stored in the warehouse.The group walked around and found that most of the warehouses were empty, and there was nothing."
Guogong!
Previously, the Weaving Bureau had a lot of materials, but in recent years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has consumed a large number of them.In addition, Shanxi merchants bribed Manchu officials and took a large number of goods from the government treasury at a low price, resulting in the current situation. ”An old eunuch who accompanied him explained to Zhao Ming.This old eunuch is called Gao Qihuan, who is from the Weaving Bureau, and was asked by Zhao Ming from Zhu Yihai to ask about silk weaving in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.Zhao Ming looked at the city of Suzhou, which covers an area of about more than 100 acres, and has built a group of warehouses with high walls around it, and frowned slightly when he saw that the rats in each warehouse could not be raised.Zhao Ming asked, "How many pieces of silk could the loom controlled by the government of Jiangsu and Zhejiang produce in the previous year, and how much profit did it make?"
”The old eunuch Gao Qihuan said: "Back to the Duke of the Kingdom, in its heyday, it produced 500,000 horses a year.As for profits~" Zhao Ming stopped, glanced at him, and then said: "How much is the profit, I want to listen to the truth." ”The Weaving Bureau is a very rich yamen, eunuchs, emperors, and officials work together, and it is good not to lose money in the end, but Zhao Ming knows that silk is a thing, and now that it is so far, it is difficult not to make money.The old eunuch Gao Qihuan said: "Don't dare to hide the princess, good silk, sell a Western merchant, a horse can be bought for fifteen taels, after deducting the cost, the net profit should be between eight taels and ten taels."
If it is 500,000 horses, the annual profit should be more than 4 million taels.But Guogong also knows that there will definitely not be so many in the end. ”The annual profit is four million taels, which is enough to raise another 200,000 troops.Zhao Ming asked: "At present, to restore the silk output of the Weaving Bureau to 500,000 horses, how many taels of silver do you need to invest?"
”The old eunuch seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, "To return to the Duke of the Kingdom, at least two million taels must be invested first, and additional investment will be required later!"
”Zhao Ming frowned, and asked Chen Mingyu on the side: "Chen Gong, how much grain have we seized this time?"
”Chen Mingyu listened to the eunuch's words, obviously very moved, calculated in his heart, and immediately replied: "Dashuai, the main thing is to block the many treasures of the earth, plus some sporadic seizures, there should be 1.8 million taels of silver." ”Invest two million and earn four million a year, as an official of the management branch, Chen Mingyu was tempted, he was afraid that Zhao Ming would feel distressed about two million taels, and said busily: "Dashuai, I can think of a way to do less, Su Song's silk weaving industry must be restored." ”At this time, Ding Weiyue stepped forward and saluted: "Dashuai, Qian Qianyi and others ask to see you." ”Zhao Ming immediately smiled and said, "Hehe, the one who sent the money is here." ”(Thank you for your support, ask for a monthly pass, recommend, subscribe) ()
