Chapter 439: The Emperor Becomes a Shareholder

Isn't it surprising that the property of a feudal official like Governor Denglai will be small? How could his family's looms and craftsmen lag behind the rest of the family!

Sun Yuanhua's conviction may not have suffered the tragic situation of the wall falling down and everyone pushing him, because he was organized.

Jiangnan is the nest of the Donglin Party, and it is impossible for Party member Sun Yuanhua's family to be bullied, and Sun Yuanhua's mentor Xu Guangqi is still an old man in the court!

Huang Han didn't want silver, wanted new machines, and advanced technology, of course, the Sun family was willing to give it, and Tiger's Den City was thousands of miles away in the north, and it was impossible to compete with Songjiang Mansion when it started to produce cloth.

The Ming Dynasty's weaving technology led the world, and the looms were also the most advanced.

Huang Han bought some samples and used master craftsmen to study them, replaced the wearing parts with steel, and used the spring to control the shuttle, which could immediately make the loom technology innovate and directly improve the production efficiency.

Then the gold finger made the Jenny spinning machine come out more than a century in advance, and the cost of cloth will plummet in the future, and the cheaper cloth will greatly reduce the number of Han people who do not cover their bodies.

Cheap and high-quality cloth will also form a fist product for export, crushing the textile industry of other countries and obtaining a lot of profits.

In the north, there are only one crop per acre, and there is too much idle time, so it is necessary to increase the opportunities for the people in the system to increase their income by getting paid for their labor.

The weaving factory is a labor-intensive industry with a lot of labor, and it can also use a large number of women's labor, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, too many people did not cover their bodies and could not protect themselves from the cold in winter, and the demand for cotton cloth was huge.

In addition, Huang is building sailboats on a large scale, and the traditional Chinese hard sails, which use a lot of bamboo and straw mats, are gradually being replaced by Western soft sails, and the demand for high-quality canvas is increasing day by day.

Huang Han couldn't bear the imported canvas being stuck in Xiyi's neck, so Huang wanted to transform the loom to produce canvas.

In the future, the canvas produced by the Han people's unique tung oil technology for anti-corrosion and waterproofing will become a foreign trade product to impact the Xiyi market.

After staying in Beijing for three days, although the emperor did not issue an edict or send an edict to urge, the more conscious Huang Han went to the Forbidden City to ask the emperor again to prepare to resign and return to Ningyuan.

Chongzhen learned of the purpose of Huang Han's request to see him, and immediately passed it on.

The project of the city that never sleeps is relatively large, and he is envious and jealous, and he thinks that he can't monopolize the profits, and it is better to directly cheapen Chongzhen than to cooperate with other important ministers and nobles.

Huang Han took the initiative to play the emperor, and he made a lot of money in the outer city, and asked the emperor to write a plaque for this project, which is of course the first archway to enter the business district of the city that never sleeps.

The emperor bought shares with an inscription, and he will share a profit of 30,000 taels of silver every year in the future.

Huang Han built a large number of buildings in the outer city and accepted thousands of displaced people to work, which better alleviated the thorny problem of gathering displaced people in the suburbs of Beijing.

Of course, the emperor knew about such a big movement, and he once issued an order to encourage high-ranking officials and nobles to go outside the city at this time to take in long-term followers, and encourage everyone to hire more workers.

Huang Han asked Chongzhen to inscribe this place called the City That Never Sleeps, but the emperor had no intention of refusing, and he also hoped to set an example for more people to follow, if there were a few more projects of this scale, the problem of displaced people in the suburbs of Beijing would be solved.

Who knew that Huang Han didn't let the emperor help in vain, he was generous, and was ready to send 30,000 taels of silver into the house every year, many people are not to blame, and the emperor is no exception, besides, Emperor Chongzhen has a hard life, and he is really poor.

People are poor and short-minded, Chongzhen, who was originally ready to inscribe for Huang Han, has the expectation of 30,000 taels of silver per year, and the pen is more powerful, and the three big characters of the city that never sleeps are written vigorously.

Zheng Guochang didn't know how to operate, and he was a little worried when he saw that his son-in-law had invested hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in Beijing, who knew that the Sleepless City project had become a joint venture with the emperor, and the emperor personally inscribed the plaque.

Now the old man is not worried, looking at the emperor's Mo Bao smiled and said that once the city that never sleeps opens, he will definitely call his friends to come to the scene, not only the field of the son-in-law, but also the field of the emperor.

On the second day after Huang Han left Beijing, Denglai reported that Liu Yulie, the seventh governor of the seventh month, fell into the rebels' plan to pretend to accept Zhao'an, which directly led to the booby-trapped death of Zhu Wannian, the governor of Laizhou, and the arrest of Xie Lian, the governor of Denglai.

Fortunately, when Zhu Wannian found out that the rebels were surrendering by fraud, he put his personal life and death at risk, and loudly called on the defenders in Laizhou City to fire at the rebels, making the rebels' conspiracy to seize the city abort.

Due to the fierce artillery fire of the rebels, the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately, the iron cavalry of the Guanning army braved the rebel artillery fire to make Laizhou not lose, and the Guanning army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and finally forced back the rebels besieging Laizhou.

The emperor was furious after receiving Gao Qiqian's secret report, and sent Ti Cai to Denglai to arrest the deaf and incompetent Liu Yulie, and ordered Yu Dacheng and Zhang Tao to be beheaded and abandoned the city, and sentenced Song Guanglan, the former governor of Dengzhou, and the king of Denglai Bingbei Dao to levy the army.

It's really hanging, fortunately, Huang Han started early, if he came to Beijing a few days late, Sun Yuanhua would really be cut off his head.

Just when the people of the court were panicking, there were two high-profile requests to bring people and horses to Denglai to quell the rebellion, these two were the emperor's favored retainers, ministers Li Ruolian and Fang Zhenghua.

"The wind knows the grass, and the board knows the Chengchen." Chongzhen couldn't help but think of Tang Taizong's poems, over the years, the emperor was deceived by many ministers and was really heartbroken, and now he feels that he is still intimate and warm-hearted by his ministers.

Nothing to say. Quasi-play! The emperor not only entrusted him with important tasks, but also handed over the Shenji Battalion to Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian to lead, and gave the two python robes and jade belts, and awarded Fang Zhenghua Shang Fang Sword.

Not only did they have a large number of artillery from the Shenji Battalion to help them fight, but they didn't expect to get Shang Fang's sword, and Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian were even more confident in their next actions.

At the end of July, the warrior battalion, the four guard battalions, the Shenji battalion, and the Jinyi Guard, with a total of 13,000 men and horses, were insufficient to go on the expedition.

The buildings and halls came to have fun, and finally the streets were full of heroic military songs like "angry hair rushing to the crown and ...... on the railing".

Of course, the Beijing camp and the Jinyi guards who were dispatched had to shake their majesty in the Beijing Division, and more than 10,000 people sang the triumphant song "All of them are united, and the mountains can be shaken." Only loyal and righteous, angry bullfighting. The Lord will kiss me better than my parents. ……”

Emperor Chongzhen, who personally inspected and saw him off, finally saw a different Jingying, and his heart was full of pride, and he longed for this group of men and horses to capture the flag and make great achievements, because these horses were one of the few troops that could make him do it like an arm.

Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian did not drag their soldiers with their soldiers, and the official road conditions for the Beijing division to reach Shandong were not bad, so even if the Shenji battalion had eight 5,000-pound Hongyi cannons dragged by a few bullocks, the army could advance thirty or fifty miles a day.
