"The minister Xiong Tingbi is ordered to meet you."
In the midsummer of July of the second year of the Apocalypse, Xiong Tingbi returned to the capital, and soon after returning to Beijing, he was summoned to the political hall by Zhu Youxiao."
Flat!"
Zhu Youxiao smiled and raised his hand."
Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xiong Tingbi got up and looked up, and then, he saw His Majesty the Emperor he had always wanted to see.For Xiong Tingbi, His Majesty the Emperor, who met him in the same position, has protected him, the Liaodong Economic Strategy, in various reckless ways such as killing officials, and also trusting him, so although he doesn't understand why Zhu Youxiao trusts him so much, this does not affect his gratitude and reverence for His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao, who has never met.As the saying goes, a man dies for his confidant.Xiong Tingbi really burst into tears at this time because of Zhu Youxiao's almost paranoid trust in him before, and even when he thanked him, he swallowed a little more.Although Xiong Tingbi in Liaodong has always had a serious face, now he really looks like he is crying in front of Zhu Youxiao."
Liaodong can stabilize today's situation, Aiqing is indispensable, and now calling Aiqing back to Beijing to take charge of the military department is to further revitalize the Ming martial arts in the future, and it is also to prepare for the future to completely pacify the Dongyu, Aiqing has been in Liaodong for a long time, so he naturally knows more about military affairs, so I don't know what advice Aiqing has for the next court to level Liao?"
Zhu Youxiao asked.Xiong Tingbi was very glad that His Majesty the Emperor had never been impatient to quickly pacify the troubles of the Eastern Prisoners, unlike most of the scholars who lived in the Guannei who despised the Eastern Prisoners, and he did not blame him for being like the scholars and doctors, because he had been enjoying the honor for a long time and did not know the disadvantages of the Great Ming, so he did not blame him for just holding the existing Liaodong and not completely exterminating the Eastern Prisoners.This made Xiong Tingbi feel very surprised, he didn't expect that although His Majesty lived in the inner palace, he had an unusually clear understanding of Liaodi Dongyu.Even, Xiong Tingbi learned about His Majesty the Emperor's behavior through the Di Bao before, and felt that his Majesty not only did not despise Donglu like most of the courtiers, but was even a little pessimistic!
Pessimistic to the point of attaching too much importance to the Dongyu, and even seeming to regard the Dongyu as a threat to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty in the future, he did not hesitate to offend Shilin and leave a reputation for the ages.Therefore, Xiong Tingbi has no intention of telling Zhu Youxiao about the hidden dangers of Dongyu now.Xiong Tingbi replied at this time: "Your Majesty, before returning to Beijing, I thought that with the existing situation of the Dongyu, the Ming Dynasty wanted to suppress it, I am afraid it would be very difficult, because the Dongyu is not a nomadic Tartar, but has its own farmers and craftsmen, and its internal orders are prohibited, and the slave chief Nurhachi knows that the soldiers are good at fighting, so it takes a lot of effort for the Ming Dynasty not to make it strong, but since the minister returned to Beijing, the minister thinks that the Dongyu can be destroyed in the future, and it does not need to take too long, because I have a Ming master, who knows both people and good people, and knows the law of enriching the people and raising soldiers, On his return to Beijing this time, he has seen along the way that hundreds of thousands of displaced people who used to beg for food by the Jingshi Canal are now living and working in peace and contentment, and the former desolate saline-alkali land has become prosperous, which is enough to see the ability of His Majesty the Emperor to rule the world!
In this way, the Ming Dynasty will enter the heyday again!
Although the Eastern Slave Chief has ambitions, and although his thieves can fight and cultivate, they are only a small land, as long as my Ming Dynasty is strong again, I can naturally destroy it!
”Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked: "In Aiqing's opinion, what should I do?"
”"In the humble opinion of the ministers, as Your Majesty and the princes of the DPRK and China are doing now, when the land and water are carried out simultaneously, Mongolia and Korea will continue to be trapped in the east!
Because Liaodong is heavily garrisoned, therefore, the next Dongyu will rob Mongolia and North Korea due to lack of food, especially North Korea, the Mongolian nomadic people, not easy to be plundered, but North Korea has been peaceful for many years, and its domestic grain is very large. ”Xiong Tingbi replied."
Good!"
Zhu Youxiao said a word and laughed.Zhu Youxiao had already decreed the establishment of the Daming Sailor School, and before Xu Guangqi left the capital to be responsible for the reclamation and promotion of sweet potatoes, he asked Xu Guangqi to recommend that he use the Ming military attache who is good at water warfare in the world to serve as the chief teacher of the Sailor Academy, and train the officers and cadets of the Sailor Division, in order to prepare for the cultivation of the strength of the Daming Sailor in the future.Therefore, the naval forces directly under the command of Zhu Youxiao in the Ming Dynasty are already in progress.Of course, whether it is the expansion of the Guards Battalion into the Guards Town, or the construction of warships and sailors, a lot of money and food are needed to support it.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao needs to bring more profits to the government-run textile industry as soon as possible with the pre-arranged new textile technology.Fortunately, because the Ming Dynasty quickly quelled An Bangyan's rebellion, coupled with the continuous victories in the Liao Affair, many people in the northern magnates were more enthusiastic than before to support the emperor to engage in the government-run textile industry and seize the benefits of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.Many of the northern elite began to invest more, vying for an extra share of the state-run textile industry."
The Duke of China is not for money, but mainly wants to support His Majesty to train new soldiers and pacify the Eastern Captives as soon as possible, so I decided to invest another 200,000 taels!"
British Gong Zhang Weixian personally rushed to Tianjin and spoke after seeing Xu Guangqi."
My father also wants to add another sum, and the dividends of Chongwen Temple totaling 300,000 taels will be invested in the government-run textile factory, this kind of loyalty thing, our Fang family can't fall behind others."
Fang Shihong also said to Xu Guangqi."
And us......
We want to be faithful too!
”Just as Xu Guangqi was about to speak, some gorgeously dressed people directly surrounded his sedan chair.Seeing this, Xu Guangqi had no choice but to say: "Everyone, the amount of shares allowed by His Majesty to participate in the government-run industry is so much, it can't be more, so if you add it like this, it can only make the price per share higher, you have to think about it!"
”But these people don't want their share to decrease, and they are all optimistic about the prospects of the government-run industry in the future, to be precise, they are optimistic about the national fortunes of the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, so they still continue to add money, and even quarrel because of this, and even almost use force directly, and the contradictions between the various magnates began to intensify, especially between the civil officials and the martial arts, the civil officials directly scolded Wuxun for being insatiable There are so many Zhuangtian who want to take advantage of the government-run industry, and Wuxun complains that the civil officials and scholars are greedy for profit and are the scum of Sven.As a result, Zhu Youxiao, the initiator, received a large amount of start-up funds for the establishment of government-run industries, and he did not even have to contribute his own internal funds.In the end, Zhu Youxiao asked Xu Guangqi to use the funds to arrange for his family to expand the cotton yarn industry and the new weaving industry in Songjiang.…… Of course.When Zhu Youxiao and the northern magnates were preparing to seize the benefits of the Jiangnan gentry's sea trade under the guise of engaging in government-run industries, the officials representing the interests of the Jiangnan gentry were naturally very angry."
It's excessive!
It's a pack of jackals!
”Qian Longxi, who has always been calm and calm, also dropped the teacup directly in his dark room, his family is a Jiangnan Wang family, and he doesn't want to see the benefits of textiles taken away by the emperor and a group of northern magnates."
The sky has no eyes, let such a king and treacherous minister get what he wants, and the southwest and the captives of Jianzhou can't move their foundation in the slightest!"
Ni Wenhuan also chimed in."
How are cotton yarn and raw silk stockpiled?"
Qian Longxi suddenly asked."
Hoarding."
Ni Wenhuan said."
Gotta speed up hoarding!
How can the powerful clans in Jiangnan raise tens of millions of taels of silver to prepare to hoard cotton yarn and raw silk, in terms of financial resources, the tyrant and the traitors around him are not our opponents!
”Qian Longxi said.......
"Are you saying that the price of cotton yarn and raw silk has started to rise sharply recently?"
”Zhu Youxiao asked Wei Zhongxian."
Yes, Emperor."
Wei Zhongxian replied.Zhu Youxiao sneered after thinking about it, and then ordered: "The cabinet has drawn up an edict to announce to the world that it is strictly forbidden to hoard cotton and raw silk. ”
