After He Shiji saw Shijingshan Industrial Zone, he knew that the amount of steel there had exceeded the iron output of Daming in a year, please note that the amount of steel exceeded the output of iron.

This is also terrifying, you must know that the annual steel output of the Ming Dynasty is not even one percent of iron. That is to say, all the steel that Wang Yue placed in Shijingshan has exceeded the output of the Ming Dynasty in a hundred years.

A large amount of steel was also used in the construction of the starting point city, but the construction speed was too fast, and it was basically completed without paying attention. The strictest control of iron in the Ming Dynasty is foreign trade, especially foreign trade, and national iron is not so strict.

But Wang Yue's is too exaggerated, the amount of steel has reached the height of being able to subvert a country in the era of cold weapons, so as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he must not only ask clearly, but also report to the emperor.

Wang Yue didn't expect him to ask about this, he really didn't realize what so much steel meant in the eyes of the ancients.

He laughed and said, "Oh, I don't know how many times I've said this." These steels come from a mysterious place, just like the car I paid tribute to the emperor came from. ”

Saying that, his face sank and he said, "Where is this place?" I beg no comment! ”

Luo Yangxing nodded and said, "Well, I will report truthfully to the emperor." ”

As he spoke, he took out a silver dollar and asked, "Is this what you minted from the starting city?" Do you know about this? ”

The last exposition was all a large transaction, and there was no silver dollar, and there was little circulation in the outside world, so there was little knowledge. But as more and more salaries were paid in the starting point, the silver dollars in the starting point were also circulated.

Wang Yue said: "That's right, it was cast by me in the starting city, and it was designed and arranged by me to cast, and it is too inconvenient to use the silver two now." ”

Luo Yangxing took out another silver scroll of the starting point city and asked, "Is this also made by you in the starting point city?" I heard that it can replace silver taels. ”

Wang Yue nodded and said, "Governor Luo understands very well. ”

Luo Yangxing smiled and said: "Lord Wang, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it is a big crime to build coins privately, and this is the only one, and my Jinyiwei has the right to lock you up and put you in prison." ”

Before Wang Yue could speak, Zhang Ziyun said sharply: "You dare!" ”

Luo Yangxing ignored Zhang Ziyun, glared at Wang Yue and said, "Lord Wang, this governor is thinking that he is an official in the same dynasty, and he specially came to you to ask questions." ”

Wang Yue didn't know why Luo Yangxing didn't report directly to Chongzhen, but came to the starting point city to ask him about the purpose.

If you want to directly arrest him and send him to prison, Wang Yue thinks it's a joke. The current Jinyiwei is neither the Jinyiwei of Emperor Jiajing's time, nor is Luo Yangxing a courageous person. What's more, knowing the strength of the Tiance Army, it is even more impossible to act rashly.

Wang Yue looked at Luo Yangxing and said, "Governor Luo, I would like to make a few points here. First, all the people who belong to my starting point city will be protected by the starting point city and the Tiance army, and any behavior that hurts the people of my starting point city will be sought justice for them. Second, in the future, Jinyi Wei will not be allowed to walk around with a blade in my jurisdiction, and will not trespass into the forbidden area without permission! Violators, our Tiance Army reserves the right to arrest or shoot them to death. ”

Wang Yue felt that it was better to make it clear, what he did was incompatible with the imperial court. What's more, he killed Jinyiwei and arrested people.

The angry young Gao Wencai jumped up, pointed at Wang Yue's nose and said, "Wang Yue, you are a naked threat!" How is it different from rebellion? ”

Then he said to Luo Yangxing: "Dudu, this Wang Yue wolf is ambitious, he is going to rebel!" ”

Qiao Ke and Sun Guang also stood up and looked at Luo Yangxing nervously, seeing how the boss would respond.

Sun Jinyong looked at this, looked at that, and was at a loss.

The sweat on Luo's nose came out, and he said in his heart: Could it be that you are going to be planted here today?

Zhang Ziyun looked at Wang Yue blankly, not knowing why he was suddenly so impulsive.

Wang Yue smiled and said to Gao Wencai: "Gao Qianhu, don't be too excited, I haven't finished my words yet." ”

Gao Wencai glared at Wang Yue fiercely and said, "You say, you say!" ”

Wang Yue's sudden showdown with Jinyiwei was also a helpless move, as the saying goes, if there are more lice, it is not itchy. He offended more and more people, and almost all the high-ranking officials of the court were offended, so he simply made his words clear.

With the pace of his development, according to the laws of the imperial court, there can only be more and more forbidden places.

And his construction projects are also more and more, and after getting farther and farther away, there are not so many troops everywhere to protect. Among his projects, any factory, in an environment like ancient times, was definitely a golden fat meat, which was too tempting.

Moreover, the safety of the lives and property of more than 300,000 people in the starting point city must be guaranteed, and only under the condition of stability can production be carried out with peace of mind.

Then there were silver dollars and banknotes, which were things he had to push. Industrialization and capital flows necessitated a more convenient alternative to heavy silver and copper coins. This point will definitely touch the nerves of the Ming court.

simply give him a one-size-fits-all approach and draw out the Tao, and these people in the province will always bother him.

"Third, without my permission, Jinyiwei is not allowed to arrest anyone in my jurisdiction for any reason. In the event of such an incident, our Tiance Army reserves the right to attack the Jinyi Guard Yamen. Even if you are ordered to do an errand, you must notify the Tiance Army Headquarters to explain the reason, and you can only do it after obtaining permission. ”

Gao Wencai's teeth creaked, Jin Yiwei had never been threatened like this, he roared, "Is there anything else?" ”

Wang Yue said with a smile: "That's basically it, simply put, Jinyiwei must not interfere with life and production in my jurisdiction." Not only Jinyiwei, but also the East Factory and other departments are handled in the same way. ”

Luo Yangxing heard it, this was Wang Yue's warning. In other words, he was not in danger now, so he said: "Lord Wang, aren't you afraid that this governor will join you with the emperor and sue you for rebellion?" ”

Wang Yue said indifferently: "These are your rights and freedoms, but you'd better not forget what I just said." ”

Then he said, as if remembering something, "Oh, yes! In order to show my loyalty to the imperial court, I am willing to donate 100,000 catties of steel to the imperial court. In addition, most of my factories will be put into operation in a year, so after a year, I will pay the imperial court a tax of 1 million taels a year, and pay a tribute of 100,000 taels a year to the emperor's internal funds. ”

The Ming Dynasty did not pay commercial taxes, and Wang Yue's one million taels was equal to a quarter of the current Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue.

According to the tax rate of later generations, the annual output value of a steel plant will reach 10 million taels, and the profits and taxes will not exceed 1 million. Value-added tax, stamp duty, real estate tax, land tax, and finally 25% income tax on profits.
