During the banquet, Chongzhen noticed that her mothers-in-law all had a small look at his father-in-law, and then his father-in-law fell to the ground like a stone, and there was no need to think about it, it was his mother-in-law who told his father-in-law that his daughter was very favored by the emperor after entering the palace.

Chongzhen's happiness for his father-in-law is not just as simple as pampering the concubine, he also wants to give his father-in-law the title of marquis!

Taking advantage of the pleasure of the banquet, Chongzhen made his fathers-in-law who spent 10 million silver to buy concubines marquis, Jin Hongfu named Jianye Hou, Su Xinghai named Xiangcheng Hou, Wang Anfu was named Huqiu Hou, Qian Chengfu was named Xiaoshan Hou, Zhuang Kangde was named Tianning Hou, and the fathers-in-law of the other concubines were also named earls.

The emperor wrote such a letter, those who originally paid five million regretted a little, and regretted that they should not have paid more silver, this title is too useful for them businessmen. But even the Count made them very happy. The fathers-in-law who were made to the marquis were even more smiling and knelt down to thank the emperor!

Chongzhen's concubines also know what this knighthood means, and Empress Zhou's father, the national abbot, is also tightly sealed to a "uncle"! They were educated before entering the palace, served the emperor well, and fought to give birth to a dragon son and dragon girl to the emperor, or it would be good to let their father be crowned the governor of the left and the right.

In the past dynasties, the importance of agriculture and the suppression of business, the status of merchants is the lowest, even if they do a lot of business, they will still receive the contempt of other classes, so these businessmen make money, they will take out part of it to please the government, part of it will let the scholars speak for them, and let their descendants study hard.

Fang Yuegong saw that Chongzhen was rewarded so grandly, thinking that the emperor was drunk, and quietly went to Chongzhen's side and asked, "Your Majesty, is this marquis count too much?" Zhou Kui, the former abbot, was also named a Jiading Bo, and Tian Hongyu, the father of Tian Guifei, didn't even have an earl, and he was only awarded a vacant Zuo Dudu. ”

Fang Yuegong's worries are somewhat reasonable, the titles of the Ming Dynasty have duke, marquis, and both, and the titles of the Ming Dynasty have a stipulation: "All lords who are not for their military merits shall not be awarded, and titles shall not be given unless they are specially purposed." That is, you can only get the title by virtue of military merits, and the title of a relative can only be awarded by the special will of the emperor, but this kind of title has a characteristic - it is only given but not coupons, which is somewhat similar to the current honorary mayor, do you say that there is any harm to Chongzhen in awarding these honorary mayors?

Chongzhen smiled evilly and said: "Aiqing, I am very sober, Emperor Taizu has eyes: all lords cannot be sealed unless they have military merits, they cannot be given titles unless they are specially intended, and their relatives are knighted but not coupons, what does it matter to these fathers-in-law and marquis earls who I have been sealed?" ”

Only then did Fang Yuegong understand, yes, the emperor's fathers-in-law gave 100 million taels of silver, which was the sum of four years of land tax, commercial tax, liao salary, expropriation and training salary! In the Wanli period, the best harvest in the Wanli period was only two million taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty!

got so much, the emperor only needed to seal a few more concubines and a few counts and marquises, and he got it! Think about the beginning, in order to raise funds, I rowed a small boat every day to persuade those rich people to raise donations, and finally was falsely accused of embezzling 3,000 taels of silver, alas.

Chongzhen also sighed that when he was raising donations, those hereditary dukes and counts were also very stingy!

After the banquet, Chongzhen called Fang Yuegong and his father-in-law to the Qianqing Palace, and with the status, it was time to do something.

The great thing that Chongzhen wanted his father-in-law to do was to give his father-in-law greater rights, and Nanzhili and Zhejiang would be managed by his fathers-in-law, weaken the marquis warlord Donglin Fushe of the Ming Dynasty, and then complete the capitalization of Jiangnan!

He wants to build the strongest father-in-law group in history!

"Father-in-law, do you know why I made you a marquis?"

Jin Hongfu and Su Xinghai are all old fish sticks who have been up and down in the business sea for many years, although they don't know what the emperor wants them to do, but they all understand what important things the emperor wants to give them to do, so he said: "Please also ask the emperor to instruct, Weichen will follow the work of dogs and horses!" ”

"Good! I want you to expand your business and set up factories in your own fiefdoms, and I have some production methods for products here, so you can go back and study them! Make these things! I take 30% of the shares! ”

Although Chongzhen was a programmer ape in his previous life, he was also a proper science and engineering male technical nerd, he didn't believe in the technology that was more than 300 years ahead, and he couldn't make money in Daming!

Jin Hongfu and others heard the emperor say that they would start a factory, they were very happy at first, and soon understood that the emperor gave them knights in order to expand production, and production is to earn, and businessmen were very interested in making money.

"There are instructions for the production of honeycomb coal, cement, bicycles, fertilizers, etc., you can follow the above method, experiment first, and see if it can be successful! Among them, honeycomb coal has been mass-produced in Shanxi! ”

Cement and bicycles are relatively simple, only chemical fertilizer is more complicated, the production of chemical fertilizer to use sulfuric acid, Taoist alchemy has used pyrite, pyrite can be heated at high temperature to obtain sulfur dioxide, sulfur dioxide dissolved in water into sulfurous acid, sulfurous acid oxidation to obtain sulfuric acid. Coal can make ammonia, and ammonia reacts with sulfuric acid, which is ammonium sulfate!

The agriculture of the Ming Dynasty could not feed so many people not because of the promotion of sweet potatoes and potatoes, in fact, sweet potatoes and potatoes did not become the staple food after the promotion, Chongzhen once saw in a document that the Qing Dynasty fed 400 million people, and sweet potatoes and potatoes only accounted for about 7% of the staple food, only in times of famine, sweet potatoes will be used as staple food to tide over the difficulties.

As a science and engineering student, Chongzhen understands that chemical fertilizer (technology) is the magic weapon to increase food production! If there is no chemical fertilizer, the hybrid rice with a yield of 1,000 catties per mu will still only produce a few hundred catties!

Chongzhen's father-in-law was the wealthiest family in Jiangnan. The local forces in the Jiangnan region can be roughly divided into four categories, namely, the noble descendants of the princes and marquis who have made military achievements, warlords, merchants, and scholars such as the Donglin Restoration Society. These people have inextricable interests and conflicting interests, but these people have one thing in common, they all own a lot of land!

Feudalism is a backward social system for the rich Jiangnan, Chongzhen's previous life has a kind of Chongzhen thought that it is the most advanced system, characteristic socialism, what is the characteristics of socialism here in Chongzhen, Chongzhen thinks, in the place where the productive forces are backward, or continue to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, divide the land, and the people can cultivate; In these rich places in the south of the Yangtze River, there was a lot of surplus labor, and capitalism had already sprouted at this time, but because of the constraints of the system, the merchants who owned these handicraft factories were too constrained by the noble warlords, and it was difficult for the handicraft factories to develop.

Now that Chongzhen has knighted his fathers-in-law, these constraints no longer exist!

"Your Majesty, can this thing really sit on it and leave?" Su Xinghai asked, pointing to the drawings of the bicycle.

"Father-in-law, just find a craftsman and try it!"

"Your Majesty, can this thing increase grain production?"

"Father-in-law, after this thing is produced, the household department will be responsible for purchasing it, and you can only produce it!"
