In the capital, Liu Jin's mansion, Liu Jin was lying comfortably on his old chair, busy in the Miyun Iron Works for more than a month, and finally made the Miyun Iron Works look a little bit, and he could rest assured that the iron factory would be handed over to Huang Jinquan to take care of, and he would return to the capital again to enjoy the best life.

By Liu Jin's side, Tong Yuan was reporting to Liu Jin with some information in his hand.

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately came to his senses.

Tong Yuan nodded and said.

Liu Jin thought for a while and said, in Liu Jin's concept, the Ming Dynasty lacks everything except people, lack of food and silver, but there is no shortage of people, and eighty taels of silver is enough to hire many people to work for themselves.

Tong Yuan said as a matter of course, then thought about it and said: "Teacher, you may not be there, now the large and small workshops around the capital, cement factories, coal factories, four-wheeled carriage factories, special freight houses, etc., everywhere needs manpower, everywhere can see the inspiration of recruitment, this salary is rising again and again." ”

"These grassland captives are all strong and strong, and they are very suitable for work, eighty taels of silver is not expensive at all, everyone has as much as they want."

"I see~"

These workshops and factories in the Beijing-Tianjin region have already begun to have the momentum of budding capitalism, especially the many industries under Liu Jin's command.

In the later era of colonial exploration, because of the development demand for colonies, especially in the Americas, the rise of the slave trade, and cheap slaves also helped capitalism complete the primitive bloody accumulation.

Liu Jin couldn't help but think like this in his heart.

However, the process of solving the employment problem will inevitably be accompanied by countless blood and tears, especially once the slave trade rises, it will inevitably be heinous.

At the same time, he extended his evil hand to the steppes in the north, Korea and the Wa Kingdom in the east, and in the future, it will extend to a wider area, and the slave trade will inevitably rise gradually.

Thinking of this, Liu Jin also shook his head slightly, all this is still early, capitalism can only be regarded as a sprout now, and even the most primitive accumulation has not yet been completed.

Tong Yuan looked at where Liu Jin was in a daze, and reminded softly.

Liu Jin came back to his senses, thought for a while and said: "Tell me to go down, all the industries below are not allowed to buy these slaves, no slaves are allowed, we only use our own Ming people." ”

Even later generations of Westerners began to suffer the aftermath of slavery, and the white Gallic chicken was about to turn into a black black chicken.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

Tong Yuan nodded solemnly, then he thought about it and said, "Teacher, is it possible to start construction on the cement road from the capital to Miyun?" ”

"Organize people to repair it, but you don't need to repair it too widely, it's generally fine."

"In addition, the construction of the first phase of the Changlu Salt Farm has also been completed, Master, do you take the time to go over and see, how to dry the salt, the people below still have no spectrum in their hearts."

It can be said that the current Liu Jin is definitely an authentic capitalist, with a huge industry under his command and a lot of things to be busy with.

Liu Jin thought about it and was still going to Changlu Salt Farm to have a look, originally he thought that this salt drying was actually very simple, and there was an artifact like cement, so it was not difficult to build a salt farm at all.

If you don't make money, it is estimated that Emperor Hongzhi will eat Liu Jin, and Emperor Hongzhi has the lion's share in the Changlu Salt Farm.

It took half an hour for Tong Yuan to finish reporting everything and leave Liu's mansion.
