Li Jicheng rode on a tall Indian folded ear horse, wearing a glittering blue satin robe, and beside him there was an orchid who rode a folded ear horse like him, the daughter of the "great general Singh" he had obtained in Paladep in the Indian province of Orissa, named Ashiwarya. This orchid is dressed in a light and graceful red sari, or a crop top, barefoot, and gold jewelry on her hair, neck, and wrists, which is really eye-catching. Li Jicheng and Ashiwarya were followed by a large group of blue-clothed warriors on horseback, all in shining silk robes, carrying flintlock pistols and Indian-made waist knives, and riding on tall folded horses.

Fresh clothes and angry horses plus orchid accompaniment! This Li Jicheng is properly showing off his wealth, but he is afraid that others will not know that he has made a fortune in India, and he doesn't know what it means to be low-key.

However, his current status cannot be low-key, he is the grandson of Emperor Dashun, and he has the opportunity to be promoted to become the crown prince. But whether this opportunity can be implemented is really a bit suspenseful - his father Li Laiheng has many sons, and the current crown princess is not his own mother!

So Li Jicheng must show off his wealth! The second and third generations in Kunming City must know that they have made a windfall in India...... If you want to develop together, come to Ben Taisun!

The layout of Kunming City is different from that of those in Sichuan that look strict and live in a dull fang-shi system, and there is no chessboard-like pattern - the inner area of the city is transformed into a boxy city with high walls and streets, and the view from the height looks like a chessboard. Cities with this layout are very difficult to fight, and even if the outer walls are breached, the inner squares in the city will have to be broken through one by one, and then they can break through to the inner city and Miyagi......

There is no "chessboard" in Kunming, and the streets and alleys are connected together, forming a large area of prosperity. At the beginning, there was a curfew, but it was lifted when the co-rule was ten years old, which made Kunming a step further.

Of course, the prosperity of Kunming is not only because of the breaking of the Fang City and the absence of curfews, but also the biggest difference between this city and Chongqing and Chengdu in the north is that it is located in a land that still has a lot of room for development.

Before Dashun occupied Yunnan, Nuoda Yunnan had less than 1.8 million mu of registered land, which was inferior to a better prefecture in the southeast. Although there are factors such as the lack of government statistics and a large number of Tusi autonomy, it also fully shows that Yunnan still has a lot of living space that can be used.

After the conquest of Burma by Dashun, Yunnan was connected with northern Myanmar, and the living space was even greater!

With the increasing number of military households in Dashun, Sichuan's land is becoming more and more tight, and the development of Yunnan and Burma is naturally getting bigger and bigger.

While Dashun was working hard to develop agriculture in Yunnan and northern Myanmar (where there are many plateaus, the climate is cooler than southern Burma, and there are fewer tropical diseases), large quantities of copper and tin ore have been found in the land of Yunnan and northern Myanmar. Copper and tin are strategic materials for making money and artillery, and they can also be used to make money - because the copper coins minted by Dashun in Kunming, Yunnan Province are very good, so they are very popular with the profiteers of the Ming Dynasty!

In the smuggling trade between Ming and Shun (after the outbreak of the war on a large scale, the trade of Rongchang did not exist, and was replaced by smuggling), the co-governance of Dashun Tongbao could be exchanged for a large amount of cloth, grain, livestock, and salt from Ming Dynasty merchants, which not only strongly supported the Dashun army's operations, but also alleviated the shortage of materials in Dashun's country.

Of course, the actions of the Ming profiteers were actually legal in the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming arsenal also needed copper from Yunnan and Burma to cast artillery - in the historical Qing Dynasty, Yunnan copper production accounted for more than 95% of the country's copper production.

And Dashun could not directly export copper to Daming, so Daming could only obtain Yunnan copper in this way.

Under the stimulation of this special Yunnan copper trade, the mining industry in Yunnan and northern Myanmar has also developed, and the industrial and commercial are not separated, even if the copper and tin mines in Dashun are mainly government mines, but there are still a bunch of contractors making a fortune below - Dashun is a feudal dynasty after all, and it is impossible to exclude the private component of the economy, so it can only be suppressed as much as possible. Because the feudal land ownership system is nominally state-owned (it is feudal ownership that is divided by the monarch to the subjects and cannot be bought and sold, and it is not called feudalism when bought from the market), in fact, it is still privately owned and privately operated, and it is not a real state-owned economy.

Therefore, the economic base of Dashun is still privately owned! Under such circumstances, the private economy will always grow gradually and erode the government-run industry and commerce in Dashun.......

The development of the copper and tin industries in northern Yunnan and Myanmar, as well as the subsequent rise of the Kunming coinage industry, required a large amount of labor, which greatly promoted the commercial prosperity of Yunnan, especially Kunming.

On the way to the palace of Wuhua Mountain, Li Jicheng found that this Kunming city was more prosperous than when he left a few years ago, and the streets were full of shops, some opened restaurants and taverns, some sold silk, some sold jewelry, some sold calligraphy and paintings, some sold all kinds of Western objects, and some sold swords and armor (not everyone can buy swords and armor, only government soldiers can buy them), and there are also those who sell livestock.

In addition, there are a lot of sellers selling snacks and snacks on the street, selling along the street with a high voice and a low voice, which is really prosperous and lively - such a situation is absolutely not seen in Chongqing and Chengdu, because Chongqing and Chengdu have strict household registration management, and the two industries are prohibited, the workers do not do business, the businessmen do not work, and the farmers outside the city are firmly bound to the land.

"Why are there so many businessmen in Kunming now?" Li Jicheng asked casually.

Niu Ben, one of Niu Jinxing's sons, also followed Li Jicheng, and when he heard his question, he replied: "Taisun, there are many farmers here in Kunming who have come from Juntianjun in Sichuan, and with the land certificates issued from all over Sichuan, they can't afford to go to northern Myanmar and Yunnan to reclaim, so they can only let them work in the copper mines or let them do some business, and they must let people live!" ”

Yunnan has many mountains and little flat land, and the value of reclamation is not too high, while there is a lot of flat land in Myanmar, but the cost of reclamation is not low, and immigrants not only have to face the threat of malaria, but also can get all forest land, just cutting trees, digging roots, and building water conservancy have to spend a lot of money.

Therefore, most of the Sichuan peasants who were allocated land in Myanmar could only work as tenants in their own townships or work and do business in Yunnan.

And the Dashun court was helpless......

Li Jicheng sighed and said, "It seems that I have to go to Tianzhu to find more money!" ”

Niu Ben nodded and said with a smile: "The prince often says the same...... We can't knock Shaanxi anymore, we have to move south, there is money in the south! ”

Li Jicheng nodded, he wanted to make some money in India at first, and then buy more flintlock pistols from the Dutch to fight Shaanxi.

But when he arrived in India, he found that it was much better than Shaanxi, and there was gold everywhere! And there is no endless Ming army.

"What did Grandpa say?" Li Jicheng asked again.

Niu Ben shook his head and whispered, "The old emperor does not approve of the big south. ”

Li Jicheng sighed and said, "Grandpa is old, maybe he misses his hometown in Shaanxi!" ”

......

"You are confused, you are a confused prince, you know money, money, money...... Money is poisonous! ”

In Wuhua Palace, Li Guo, the son of Dashun Heaven, was already a little confused at this time, and he was talking nonsense.

And the one who listened to him talk nonsense was the crown prince Li Laiheng, Dashun because it was the co-rule of the eight kings and the prince's army, the emperor's power was not very great, and Li Guo was terminally ill, of course, there was no way to stop everyone from going south to make a fortune.

But nonsense can still be said!

Li Guo coughed a few times, and then said: "Those who have a family do not suffer from widowhood but inequality, and do not suffer from poverty but suffer from anxiety...... Although my Dashun is poor, it is average, so I can share the joys and sorrows and resist Zhu Ming. Jicheng bastard doesn't understand, why are you confused? He plundered so many gold and silver treasures in Tianzhu, I don't know how many people want to get rich with him, can I still be average in Dashun, can I still be stable? ”
