No one in Jiangsu and Zhejiang paid attention to the wolves raised by Yang Qingfeng and were already howling north......

and not to divide their lands.

They don't care about the life or death of those northern landlords, they are enjoying the prosperous times, just like when the north was starving all over the wilderness before, they are also enjoying the prosperous times when a hundred sheep and drinking four million stone of grain a year.

They also couldn't see the danger that was about to sweep in, as they did back then, and they couldn't see that Yang Qing was creating a huge encirclement against them......

Li Zicheng's commune became an imperial village.

The southern part of Liangguang has also become a myriad of imperial villages.

Huaixi is Huangzhuang, Henan is also Huangzhuang, the Huangzhuang in eastern Sichuan is increasing day by day, and soon Hebei has completely become Huangzhuang, the color of this changed sky from north to south like a huge pincer, grasping the core area of the old land system in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian. In this core area, there are also pieces of Huangzhuang releasing color, and the land control system of the landlords and gentry that has lasted for thousands of years is on the verge of complete collapse in the erosion of the southern Huangzhuang and the squeeze of the surrounding Huangzhuang.

But......

The gentry still sang and danced.

They were intoxicated by the prosperity in front of them, intoxicated by a sheet of gold, completely shrouded in the fog of wealth!

They couldn't see the knife Yang Qing raised.

The Thomas train in front of the Great Hall of the Four Peoples is non-stop day and night, and every visitor who rushes to Nandu from other places is all in front of the symbol of industrial civilization and crazy about the railway plan standing next to it. In textile mills all over the country, new steam engines were installed, and the roaring machines drove thousands of spindles day and night to weave a picture of wealth for them. The demand for coal was like a black hole, so the gentry dug into the ground in search of any possible coal mines, and then the increase in transportation forced them to build roads, and even horse-drawn wooden carriages appeared......

It's an economic.

Therefore, people are desperately trying to make money, and even Yang Qing has to issue more banknotes again and again, and not issuing banknotes cannot keep up with the pace of economic development.

But that's not a problem.

After all, the silver inflow of the Ming Dynasty was equally ferocious.

"Last year, more than 15 million taels of silver flowed in from Shanghai Customs, of which more than 10 million silver coins were Spanish pesos alone, of course, not all of them were Spaniards, but according to statistics, the pesos from Manila alone still exceeded 4 million."

Shen Tingyang said proudly.

"The Spaniards don't care?"

Yuan Yuan said curiously.

In fact, at present, the whole world is sending silver to Daming, and it is not after Yang Qing took office, it has been sent for nearly a hundred years before, and it is estimated that at least 5,000 tons of silver have been sent before Yang Qing took office.

The Spaniards were the main force of the silver.

After all, Portugal was also under Spanish rule before.

"Anyway, what's the matter? The king of Spain gave the governor of Manila a limit of two million, and a maximum of two million pesos from the Americas to Manila, but who would be true about such a thing? Manila, from the governor to the ordinary merchants, all rely on trade with us, and do not exchange pesos, how do they buy goods from us? Two million pesos is simply not possible! Similarly, the Spaniards in the Americas also rely on the goods imported from us, and their silver is mined in silver mines, so they don't care about spending money! Does the round girl know? The linen cloth that we no longer wear is a good thing for them, not only the natives of the Americas, but also the Europeans, and the natives of Luzon are said to not even know how to weave cloth now, so they buy us directly. ”

Shen Tingyang said.

The round girl covered her mouth and smiled.

"Laughing at what? Do you think more money is a good thing? ”

Yang Qing said speechlessly.

"Isn't it a good thing to have more silver?"

Yuan Yuan said dissatisfiedly.

"More silver means more circulation in the market, and more circulation and only so many goods, and the result is that the price rises, but the amount of silver will not be evenly divided, and the price increase will be faced by everyone, and the result is that the poor cannot afford to buy things."

Yang Qing said.

Of course, he was just talking.

In fact, the inflation of the Ming Dynasty is not serious, because his spending is also fierce, whether it is infrastructure construction or medical education system, as well as the construction of an increasingly large army, especially the construction of the navy, these are all sprinkling money out. And the main thing is to sprinkle it on the ordinary people, whether it is the medical system or the compulsory education system, it is directly serving the ordinary people. To put it bluntly, he was trying his best to balance the widening gap between the rich and the poor caused by the inflow of silver through government means, so that the inflow of silver, which was originally concentrated on capitalists and landlords, was diverted to everyone. And the rapid development of industry and the continuous increase in grain production have also provided sufficient materials, the common people have money in their hands, and there are enough goods in the market, so inflation can be suppressed.

In the final analysis, as long as there is enough food, the problem of inflation is a trivial matter, and the chaos of inflation starts with the increase in the price of grain.

And he just pays the most attention to food.

Even pyrethrum has now begun to be introduced, and several Huangzhuang in Nanzhili are already being planted, and the origin of this thing is in Dalmatia, that is, on the northern coast of the Balkans, across the sea from Italy.

But Europe has not yet started large-scale cultivation.

Yang Qing still grabbed the British East India Company and asked them to help him get it, and at this time, the British East India Company was basically about to become his dog. It is also the only one among the Europeans who traded with the Ming Dynasty who did not lose money unilaterally, and the British did send money to the Ming Dynasty at first, in their own words, that is, they did not even sell a British commodity, but they came all the way to send 80,000 Spanish silver coins. But now the British East India Company sends a large amount of cotton, horses, and even all kinds of seeds named by Yang Qing to Daming every year, and even collects all kinds of rare birds and beasts for his sister-in-law.

Even the penguins were delivered.

Although only a few specimens were delivered.

They did want to be alive, but they died of heat near the equator.

Yang Qing's sister-in-law is becoming the existence of the British East India Company as a savior, sprinkling a large amount of silver every year, allowing the latter to search for her favorite things all over the world, and then balance the latter's trade deficit with the Ming Dynasty. Last year, the British East India Company just bought her a nest of fennec foxes from the Sahara Desert at the cost of three lives, and received a reward of 20,000 taels of silver, and then used 20,000 taels of silver to buy black tea and exchange it for hundreds of thousands of taels.

I have to say that these businessmen really have brains.

"It's true."

Shen Tingyang said with the same feeling.

"Prices in Shanghai are getting higher and higher, and even crabs are rising every year, and in the final analysis, money is burned."

He said.

"Therefore, we must spend money while making money, and we must spend a lot of money while making a lot of money, and we get tens of millions of taels of silver from overseas every year, so we have to spend tens of millions of taels of silver at home every year. But this money cannot allow businessmen to compare luxury and push up the price of crabs, and must be spent in a way that benefits all ordinary people. That is, to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction, build railways, roads, bridges and water conservancy facilities in various places, and build nursing homes and orphanages and free primary schools. For example, if we build a national highway, millions of people along the route can benefit through participation, and after completion, we can speed up the flow of goods and benefit everyone along the way.

And the railway effect is stronger.

It's just that we can rely on government taxes to support national highways, but railways cannot be completed with government investment.

It is necessary to mobilize the wealth of the private sector.

Over the years, tens of thousands of taels of silver have flowed in, and the vast majority of them are in the people, so instead of keeping them to promote extravagance, why not let them take them out, and then build the railway as a guarantee of wealth for future generations? What can be compared to investing in a railroad? When the train starts, it is 10,000 taels of gold, that is, lying down to collect money, investing in factories may lose money, investing in overseas trade may encounter storms and shipwrecks, and buying land may encounter droughts and floods and locust plagues, resulting in no harvest.

But railways are different.

As long as it is repaired, it can be said that there is no risk, no matter who goes, they have to pay money, and they will reap profits from generation to generation, and the railway will not be bad even if it is placed there for a hundred years.

The future circulation of goods in the Ming Dynasty will transfer the vast majority of the railway, and even the canal is not as good as the railway, the canal has a freezing period, and the canal may be cut off in dry weather. Needless to say, there is a freezing period on the northern coast, and it is a gamble for merchant ships to go to sea, but the railway has neither a freezing period nor the risk of wind and waves, and the train is broken in the middle of the road, so it's a big deal to wait for the station to send another one to pick it up.

It was just perfect! ”

Yang Qing hurriedly flickered.

"Rest assured, the stock promotion of the railway in the land of Susong will be handed over to the subordinates, if nothing else, for the railway from the southern capital to Ningbo, and the gentry of Susong will also be taught by the gentry of Susong."

Shen Tingyang said.

Yang Qing invited him to be a guest, just to let him sell railway stocks, in fact, not only him, during this time, Huguo Gong often invited celebrities from all over the world to drink and talk, the purpose was to let people go back to promote the railway, and promote stocks for more than a dozen corresponding railway companies that he quickly opened.

And the effect is obvious.

Not only are stocks selling, but even stock speculation has appeared, every stock is rising, and there are even those who buy in the morning and rise by several percent in the afternoon, and a frenzy of stock speculation is spreading. Landlords and wealthy people from all over the country were pouring to the Imperial Bank in horse-drawn carts, in stark contrast to the dismal bond sales of the Qin Dynasty's Western Expedition.

"Then it's up to Wumei Gong!"

Yang Qing smiled and raised his glass and said.

At this moment, a palace maid hurriedly came over and whispered a few words.

Yang Qing's face changed.

"Wumei Gong, please take care of yourself, I have to go to Your Majesty quickly, Your Majesty may be about to give birth!"

He said to Shen Tingyang.

After speaking, he hurriedly followed the palace maid, and Yuan Yuan didn't care about Shen Tingyang in the back, and immediately followed him......
