Chapter 473: Chinese New Year's Eve

Under the encouragement and support of Zhu Yijun, the Ming Dynasty merchants have developed very fast in recent years, including Zhejiang merchants, Hui merchants, Fujian merchants and Guangdong merchants, etc., although the Jin merchants have no windfall profits from salt, but relying on the grassland, they have also done a lot in the past two years, and they have made a lot of money.

Of course, Zhu Yijun also knows that this is a temptation, and what is tested is Zhu Yijun's attitude.

Zhu Yijun's attitude directly determines the style of the businessmen in the future, Zhu Yijun believes that this time the matter was initiated by the Jin merchants, but it is definitely not only the Jin merchants who are watching.

Now that Zhu Yijun has gone to tune the recital, it is very clear that he knows what you want to do, so it is time for Zhu Yijun to express his position. What is Zhu Yijun's attitude? Of course, there is no doubt about support, and in this day and age the mainstream is foreign wars.

No matter which country it is, in this era, what it is playing is foreign war, and what it is playing is foreign colonization.

Whether it is a foreign war or foreign colonization, the driving force is profit, and the merchants are supporters of foreign wars and foreign colonization at this stage.

In such a situation, Zhu Yijun certainly hopes that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are also full of this idea, and Zhu Yijun has been waiting for the merchants to awaken the bloodsucking attribute. Although this thing will definitely be criticized in later generations, the developed countries that started by relying on colonization are not high enough to look down on you colonized, and they have never felt that they have done wrong.

"Decree Military Aircraft Division!" Zhu Yijun threw the fold in his hand on the dragon book case, and said: "Naturalize Admiral Ma Gui as the commander, mobilize 100,000 grassland cavalry, and leave Ningxia." ”

"At the same time, an inspection team was dispatched, led by the Military Aircraft Department of the Cabinet, supplemented by the Ministry of Law and Discipline, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Military Affairs, to thoroughly investigate Ningxia, Gansu and other places."

Cleaning up is something Zhu Yijun has thought about a long time ago, now there is nothing to do in the north of Daming, the east is also stable, the south is fighting, and Zhu Yijun feels uncomfortable if he doesn't sweep it in the west. Renovating several border towns, and at the same time taking back Hetao and other places, and expanding westward as much as possible, this is what the Ming Dynasty will do for a long time in the future.

After Zhu Yijun's holy decree was passed down, it was quickly implemented, and then Zhu Yijun didn't pay much attention to this matter.

For the current Ming Dynasty, this is really not a big action, for the actions of the 300,000 troops in southern Xinjiang, the court is not too concerned, unless the news of the defeat comes one day, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will not have much reaction to this kind of thing.

After the Battle of the Grassland and the War of Extermination, the Ming Dynasty now has no one in mind, whether it is the west or the south.

Zhu Yijun can't do anything about this kind of thing, even if he finds someone to say some theories about the threat of Western Xinjiang or Southern Xinjiang, then someone has to believe it!

Later generations of Americans always said that the Chinese threat theory is because there is a market for this, and some people believe it, if you want to say the Indonesian threat theory, there is no market at all, even if you exaggerate it, it is useless. Now Daming's situation is basically like this, and it's useless to say anything else.

Zhu Yijun didn't think about making efforts in this area at all, so don't talk about these useless things, and down-to-earth development is the last word.

In the twenty-first year of Wanli, there were a lot of actions in the Ming Dynasty, but for the people of the Ming Dynasty, the feeling was not so deep. However, there are endless orders in the workshop, workers are being recruited everywhere, and the treatment is also very good, which makes the life of the people of Daming better, and when they have money, they will spend it on food, clothing and housing.

Eating eggs, meat is more abundant, three meals a day, half a month to cut a piece of meat has become the norm.

It's a little better, it's not impossible to put on a little wine, silk can't afford it, but woolen cloth can still be afforded, and it's also within the reach of making a new dress for the New Year's holidays. Zhu Yijun's continuous expansion generated a large number of orders, which completely boosted the economy of Daming.

At the same time, goods were exported to the Japanese state of Korea, and now there are preparations to go west, north and south, and the economy of the Ming Dynasty has been completely loaded into the engine.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhu Yijun stood on the head of the Forbidden City, looking at the lights of thousands of homes in Daming Beijing.

"Bang bang bang!"

The fireworks kept rising into the air, and Zhu Yijun looked at the fire trees and silver flowers in the sky, and felt like a world away. Queen Wang stood beside Zhu Yijun and accompanied Zhu Yijun to look at the fireworks outside, with a happy smile on her face. After entering the palace for so many years, the emperor has been honored and favored by himself, and the queen is happy and happy in her heart.

"It's estimated that a lot of money will be released this night." Zhu Yijun reached out and grabbed Queen Wang's hand and said with a smile.

Listening to Zhu Yijun's words, Queen Wang smiled: "It's not that the emperor is wise, let them all have money, there are good days, who has the heart to set off fireworks when they are hungry." Not to mention the others, my mother came to the palace a few days ago and told me that the Wang family bought fireworks and spent more than 1,000 taels of silver. ”

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "The Wang family is a big family now, and they didn't build a garden in the west a few days ago. ”

Although Zhu Yijun has no hobby of building gardens, the nobles and gentry of the Ming Dynasty are very enthusiastic about it.

Now in the west, in addition to the royal city, all kinds of nobles and relatives also like to build gardens there, and all of them are large-scale, and the land price over there has soared, but there are still countless people flocking to it. On the west side there is a garden, which has now become a status symbol.

Zhu Yijun is noncommittal about this, and he can't let the money he makes go to spend it, right? Zhu Yijun does not interfere, and there is only one thing to do, that is, to continuously increase the land price in the west.

Zhu Yijun, who has been baptized by real estate in later generations, is familiar with this kind of thing, cut leeks, anyway, you like it, catch up, these people are still the huge riches of the Ming Dynasty, don't cut who they cut.

Queen Wang didn't care, the Wang family's business was still given by the emperor, and the emperor would not want to take the Wang family because the Wang family was rich. Although Queen Wang doesn't know much, Queen Wang also knows who is the richest in the Ming Dynasty now, that is the emperor, that is, her own family. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is not enough to describe it with daily progress and gold, it is definitely a mountain of silver and a sea of silver.

"Now that the use of the palace is also more relaxed, it is better to renovate the palace next year."

Seeing that Zhu Yijun was in a good mood, Queen Wang opened her mouth and said, there was no money a few years ago, Zhu Yijun had to tighten his belt, and Queen Wang naturally would not mention such a thing, but now that she has money, and the palace is indeed too dilapidated, it is indeed time to repair it, so Queen Wang brought it up.

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Okay, you can get it if you like, I have wronged you all these years, and this queen is not easy to be, right?" ”

Leaning on Zhu Yijun's body, Queen Wang said with a smile: "Are there any women in this world who envy concubines?" ”
