Chapter 192: The Base of the Industrial Revolution
Jindingfu, Gwangpyeongfu, Daimyofu......... The state capital of Beizhili said it again, and all of it was opposed by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
Chongzhen pretended to be angry, and slapped the armrest of the golden dragon chair: "You are the emperor, or I am the emperor." ”
The Manchu bureaucrats were furious when they saw the emperor, and they stood on the black and bright Linqing tribute bricks, and did not dare to speak.
Sun Yuanhua stepped out with a crisp sound and walked out: "Your Majesty, it's better to compromise and remove the right to know from Song Yingjing's official hat." ”
Hearing that it was the Shuntianfu that had already promoted potatoes, the Manchu bureaucrats were relieved, and no one came out to oppose it.
Several white-haired waiters of the Donglin Party turned their heads to glance at Sun Yuanhua.
Xu Guangqi really cultivated a good successor.
It seems that it has given the emperor a step, and also given the Manchu bureaucrats a step, but the actual purpose is this Shuntian prefect.
It is true that Suncheonfu promoted potatoes, but this is tantamount to digging up the foundation of the bureaucratic gentry all over the world, and will definitely do everything possible to destroy it.
If Song Yingjing still has the title of Quanzhi, there is a way to drive him down from the position of the prefect of Shuntian Mansion.
As long as the governance of Suncheon Province is in hand, the bureaucrats and gentry have too many ways to make the promotion of potatoes end without a problem.
Now that Song Yingjing has successfully removed the word Quanzhi, as long as the emperor does not nod, no one can move such a party leader.
As a result, many officials are still complacent, believing that they have succeeded in sabotaging a plot.
Zhu Shun was completely relieved, the most important thing at present is to stabilize the foundation of Shuntianfu, work steadily, and promote it step by step.
Shuntianfu has not yet stabilized, so I want to promote it in other state capitals, but in the end, it is easy to fail at both ends.
With Song Yingjing as the prefect of Shuntianfu, coupled with the support of the emperor, Shuntianfu is the base of industrialists.
Impregnable.
Even if the bureaucratic squire has the ability to reach the sky, without the support of the upper, middle, and lower levels, there will be no waves in Shuntianfu.
Finally having a solid base, Zhu Shun's tense mood relaxed on the spot, and this time was finally not in vain.
Finalized a person to serve as the prefect of Shuntian Mansion, Chongzhen continued: "In addition, Song Shihui awarded the Guozi Prison Supervisor. ”
The eldest disciple Song Shihui became the prisoner of the country, and Zhu Shun was even more satisfied with this reward.
As the highest institution of learning in the Ming Dynasty, there are very few people who can enter Guozijian.
The first is the outstanding lifting of people in various places, which is called lifting prisons.
The second is the descendants of the three rank masters, called the shadow eunuchs.
There is also a kind of wealthy businessman who spends a lot of money and donates a national prison prisoner, called a regular prison.
Entering Guozijian is not really to study, but to accumulate contacts, and the classmates in the officialdom are second only to their fellow villagers.
Song Shihui became a student of Guozi Prison, which was of great help to the enrollment of the next twenty-seven schools.
This is to tell the people of Shuntianfu that there is another way to enter the Guozijian and become a student of the Jingshi University Hall.
The top elite university in the Ming Dynasty is not ordinary.
Song Yingjing removed the word Quan Zhi, the eldest disciple Song Shihui obtained the status of a prisoner, and Zhu Shun understood what it meant to be in moderation.
Let the emperor reward again, it will be a bit of an inch.
Zhu Shun stopped Chongzhen and wanted to continue the reward: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Chongzhen was a little dissatisfied, and originally wanted him to be promoted to the Ministry of Industry, but let this kid escape the past.
After rewarding Zhu Shun, after a retreat, the early dynasty ended.
Zhu Shun did not return to the Beijing Normal University Hall, but went to the Song Flour Mill on the edge of the Yongding River.
Old lady Song was personally supervising the coolies, transporting the potato flour to the flat sand boat at the small wharf and transporting it to the capital through the Yongding River.
Seeing Zhu Shun coming, they greeted warmly, and the two went to the main hall of Song's flour mill.
It's very simple in the main hall.
A few hat chairs and carved coffee tables.
There are several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the four walls, and a few blue and white porcelains.
The two of them sat on the two official hat chairs on the left and right of the main seat of the main hall, and they did not close the door, looking at the busy coolies outside, and they were in a good mood.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Zhu Shun said, "In a few days, the squires of Shuntian Mansion will come to visit the old lady." ”
Old lady Song is a squire herself, and she knows very well how much interest the promotion of potatoes has touched: "Does Mr. Zhu know what a squire is. ”
Zhu Shun made a deferential look.
Old lady Song put down the teacup in his hand, and was a little dignified: "The squire's greatest ability is actually to control the villagers." ”
"How to control the villagers is to rely on the land to bind the villagers and control the township."
"To put it bluntly, the land is in the hands of the squire, and the villagers, as tenants, have to be obedient if they are not obedient."
"After the promotion of potatoes, only our steam mill has the ability to turn potatoes from supplementary food to staple food."
"We indirectly control the grain, so the control of the land is in our hands."
"Without control of the land, can a squire still be a squire?"
"Where will there be a squire visiting us, and then we will have to face the counterattack of all the bureaucratic squires in the whole world."
When Zhu Shun heard Old Lady Song talk about the whole world, he didn't change his mood at all, and thought that the old man was really calm enough.
If it were someone else, it would have been frightened a long time ago, after all, it was the bureaucratic squires of the whole world who were facing it.
However, Zhu Shun has a different opinion on this matter: "Old man, let's settle an account." ”
"In the lower fields of Shuntianfu, one acre of land can produce about one stone of grain."
"According to the market price of grain, one stone is one tael or six dollars of silver, and this silver will be divided equally with the common people."
"All that fell in his hand was eight pieces of silver."
Zhu Shun took out the eight coins of silver that had been prepared long ago from his arms and put them on the carved coffee table.
After putting away the silver, Zhu Shun continued: "Go down to the field to plant potatoes, and one acre of land can produce twenty stone of potatoes. ”
"Let's recover it at the price of five cents of silver, and one stone is five dollars of silver."
"Twenty stone is ten taels of silver."
Zhu Shun took out an ingot of ten taels of silver again and put it on the carved coffee table.
Pointing to a small amount of eight taels of silver, and a large amount of ten taels of silver, he said with a smile: "The same acre of land, planting rice and wheat can only get eight taels of silver, but planting potatoes can get ten taels of silver." ”
"Eight dollars, ten taels."
"Although they have lost control of the land, the squires of Shuntianfu have also become vested interests, and they can get on our thief ship."
Old lady Song stared at eight coins and ten taels for a long time, and a smile gradually appeared on the brown spotted old face: "This is what your kid has planned a long time ago." ”
"As long as the squires of Shuntian Mansion can be tied together, Ying Jing, the little rabbit cub, will officially become the prefect of Shuntian Mansion, plus the support of the emperor."
"No one can shake our foundation in Shuntianfu."
