Chapter 461

The huge Yang family is inseparable from the person in charge.

Or in other words, under the mixture of fish and dragons, Yang Gong, the head of the family, did not dare to leave.

After all, Yang Gong has been in power for more than three years, and last year he didn't support Yang Shangjing's intelligence, and there was almost infighting within the Yang family.

Jian'an Yang's family, a hundred years of romance, has accumulated countless wealth, just when Yang Rong casually threw money outside, you can see one or two, sake red face, gold moves the heart, the ghost knows if anyone has a hot brain, just like giving Yang Gong an overhead at this time?

Therefore, Yang Gong went south with Yang Shangjing, took the waterway from Nanjing to the south, and went straight to Huangyan County.

"Shang Jing, in Nanjing, it's just that what you say to me is the truth?" Yang Gong stood at the bow of the boat, frowned, and asked in a deep voice.

Yang Shangjing lagged behind Yang Gong by half a body, and replied with a smile: "If you go back to your lordship, how can this matter be fake?" There is a shortage of hardware in China, but there is no shortage of this Japan and even Siyi, otherwise how to get the gold and silver from the big households in the southeast every year to and from the sea trade? In the land of Japanese projectiles, is it possible that there is still a little bit of stone into gold? ”

Yang Gong was silent for a moment and nodded: "Shang Jing, you are right, but if Japan is a hardware product, why should it be exchanged for copper coins from my Daming?" ”

"It's just that the technology isn't enough." Yang Shangjing grinned, always feeling that he was playing the same old tune again, "The art of metallurgy is quite complicated, but it is not as simple as building a Japanese knife, how can you learn it with a little brain?" ”

Facing Yang Gong's somewhat puzzled eyes, Yang Shangjing explained: "The Japanese knife is evolved from the Tang knife, with a complete set of technical foundations, the Japanese knife is still used in the steel-clad method, a slight mistake, a knife can not be used, is to this Japanese warrior duel, it is strictly forbidden to touch the blades, I Ming now abandon the old technology, but because the army is abundant, the military salary is not enough." ”

The reason why weapons of mass destruction such as horse lances and horizontal knives were finally eliminated was that things such as swords and spears were left behind, which were actually related to the war system.

In the feudal era, the productive forces were limited, the level of science and technology was also limited, and the army of 100 people could be fast and swordsman, and then equipped with a stainless steel milk cover, but if there were 10,000 people, it would not be such a play, and the annual taxes of the imperial court were limited, and all the troops were equipped, what to eat and drink?

Therefore, if military spending is reduced, it will not change, and it will inevitably lead to a decline in the level of individual equipment.

Another important factor is working hours.

It can take months or even years for a craftsman to get a lance, but what about a spear? It can be done in a few days.

Yes, the horse lance is made of composite materials, and the toughness and sturdiness can throw a spear dozens of streets out, but how many craftsmen can equip all soldiers with a horse lance? Even in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, only the big nobles could afford to play the horse lance.

It was a "toy for the few".

Can a soldier with a horse lance be able to top ten soldiers with spears? Maybe. What about a hundred alone? In the normal historical line, Sandezi was hung up and beaten by the Soviet's loving father with a hammer, isn't it because the number of man-hours required by the big cat is too much, and the production speed cannot catch up with the T-34?

Yang Gong is not a fool, and if he can be in charge of the Ruoda family, the speed of receiving new knowledge must be very fast, so Yang Shangjing explained a few words, and he understood.

"If according to Shang Jing's words, as long as the mineral deposits of those wealthy families in Japan are found and confiscated in one fell swoop, the money shortage can be solved?" Yang Gong's eyes lit up when he said this.

Yang Shangjing's face was strange, and he also solved the money shortage, the money shortage of the Central Plains Dynasty, as long as the Yang family did not change his bad habits, and he also liked to melt gold, silver, and copper into various melons and hide them underground, how much money came in was useless.

Moreover, not to mention just one Japan, even if the whole of Southeast Asia is included, it is also in vain, and the thirst for currency in the Central Plains is basically a bottomless pit.

However, Yang Shangjing still nodded: "It is impossible to solve it, although Japan has a lot of rich mines, but there are not many of them in this projectile land, and it is still possible to alleviate it a little." ”

Looking at Yang Gong's excited expression, Yang Shangjing sighed, wanting to make the rich landowners turn their eyes from the land, gold and silver itself to other directions, which is a technical job in itself.

Yes, it's really technical. Only by climbing up the tree of science and technology, turning agrarian civilization into industrial civilization, and in the process turning the landlord class into capitalists who are also exploiting classes, can they understand what "circulation" is.

However, all this is a dream bubble before the "opening of the sea", and only after the Yang family, or the entire southeast Shi clan, and even the entire landlord class of the Ming Dynasty understand the richness of overseas, will they have the motivation to "go out".

Plundering by physical conquest is a bloody, brutal, and inefficient way of plundering, so after that, Yang Shangjing will introduce a relatively efficient way of plundering, that is, capital plunder, which can give birth to the rise of industry and commerce.

As for the term "businessman cheaply"...... To put it bluntly, the most important thing for the Chinese is pragmatism, and the human mouth has two skins, how to "round back" when the time comes, or simply overthrow, then it is necessary to see the routine of the time.

It's just that what ghost things will be produced in this process, such as the Japanese slave trade, the Goryeo slave trade, the southeast monkey trade and other ghost things, are not something that Yang Shangjing can control.

After all, industrial production requires a large number of raw materials, in addition to the common coal, steel, agricultural products and other raw materials, there is another indispensable raw material - flesh and blood, a large amount of flesh and blood, a large number of trained, relatively good quality flesh and blood to fill in.

Merely...... How many times has he done Yang Shangjing's annihilation, and it's still a little bit short? For the sake of human progress, let's go to a special moral outlook.

Of course, Yang Gong didn't understand this, he just asked after pondering for a long time, "Does Wei Guogong know about this?" ”

Yang Shangjing shook his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Yue guards Nanjing, he is a nobleman, and his identity is different from others, so he didn't dare to tell him." Just wait for the dust to settle and then let you know. ”

"It's okay to be so safe, it's always good, and it saves people from talking too much." A smile appeared on Yang Gong's face, "If you need anything, just mention it to your family." ”
