Chapter 501 If you want to get rich, build roads first
Chapter 501
If you want to be rich, have fewer children and grow more trees.
This may be a very correct thing to say in the industrial age, but if it is placed in the agricultural age, it is not good, it is not right, it will definitely be beaten into a fool by the people who have more children and more blessings again.
However, Yang Shangjing does not plan to promote this, industrial development, agricultural development, and even the development of overseas colonial plunder, all need population, once the rice or something in the south is transported, to a certain extent, the food shortage in the Central Plains is solved, how many people, is not enough to fill the secondary industry, that is, the big hole of manufacturing.
So what Yang Shangjing has to do now is to build roads.
Of course, it is useless to shout to the outside world that "if you want to get rich first build roads", it is useless, and the convenient transportation will inevitably lead to an increase in population migration, or in other words, it is more convenient for displaced people to run away or something.
Therefore, it is definitely not possible to build roads under this banner, it is easy to be sprayed to death, the small peasant economy, male ploughing and female weaving, the best life is all enclosed in that one acre and three points of land, which requires the use of the authority of the Yamen.
"Suppressing the Japanese and preventing the Japanese is a matter of great importance, but the coastal land in southern Zhejiang, the road conditions are complicated, the river network is dense, the waterways and land routes are not smooth, if there is an emergency military situation, the troops are transferred to quell the chaos, I am afraid that it is not waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, the Japanese have already looted and escaped, so the Jian Song asked the imperial court, repair the coastal land route, dredge the river, so, if there are Japanese invaders, the official army can advance by land and water, and destroy the ...... backhand."
Most things have two sides, which can be regarded as a living study.
"It takes a lot of money to build roads, but I'm afraid that the court won't agree." Uncle Zhong looked at Yang Shangjing writing hard, and his brows furrowed.
Yang Shangjing stopped his pen and waved his hand with a smile: "Jian has his own success in his heart, and Uncle Zhong has no worries." ”
Uncle Zhong's eyebrows raised: "Will the plan be released?" ”
"This road is not only for the military, but also for the economy." Yang Shangjing simply put down his pen, stood up, walked to the map behind him, and stretched out his hand to scratch the place along the coast of Zhejiang, "Before, Huangyan County and Nanjing exchanged information and made a small chamber of commerce, Uncle Zhong has never remembered." ”
Uncle Zhong nodded, and listened to Yang Shangjing continue: "The effect of the Chamber of Commerce is not great, but Huangyan County is only a county and a county, if the entire coastal area of Zhejiang is connected, how much benefit can there be in it?" ”
After a pause, Yang Shangjing's face was a little strange: "In this land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, silk cloth is produced, but now there is no sales, most of them are village women in their own homes, making a loom, and the finished product is just bartering for some daily food expenses, but after the Jiangnan families go straight to Japan, the situation will inevitably change greatly." ”
He Yang Shangjing is a liberal arts student, and he can't build any looms, but the market has appeared, in order to plunder more efficiently, the capitalists, no, are the big landlords of the Ming Dynasty, and they must work hard in this regard.
After all, after the "opening of the sea", everyone will definitely not go to just one Japan, when the eunuchs of the Three Treasures went to the Western Ocean during the Yongle period, they got back a lot of relevant information, the entire South China Sea went to the west, so many islands, so many land, it was all virgin land, and it was developed in the past, and it was a source of money.
Below the normal world line, those white skins on the British Island will drum up an industrial revolution after the Great Voyage, and use more scientific and sustainable methods to carry out overseas colonial rule.
Of course, all this needs to be guided, and some messy things, Yang Shangjing will try his best to avoid them from happening.
Uncle Zhong was silent for a moment, and nodded: "What the young master said is the truth, but the money and food for building the road, but where do you have to raise it from?" In the past two years, Zhejiang has been prone to floods and droughts, although it is the land of fish and rice, but now it can't get too much money and grain; On the Nanjing side, even if there is Wei Guogong pressing the formation, Xu Sima, Zhang Situ and others are in charge, but this money and food is even more difficult. ”
After a pause, Uncle Zhong smiled bitterly: "If Beijing nods, it can also get some money and food, but in this situation, does the young master think that Beijing may nod?" ”
What Uncle Zhong said is really real, what do you do now, you have to open the way with silver, there is no money, it is nonsense.
What Yang Shangjing wants to do now is to take Huangyan County, the capital of Taizhou, as the center, and string together the coastal state capitals, and when there is something going on there, this Jinghai camp under his hands will be able to kill and cut people, and it is very convenient for thieves.
However, in this place in the south, the water network is dense, and without the few brushes that Yang Shangjing crossed the former turtle, it is simply nonsense, and the communication method of "ruler su sending fish belly" is the normal operation of communication in this era for ordinary people, even if the army is strong, how strong can it be?
Repair bridges and pave roads, and it is to build a lot of bridges and pave a long road, this is not a place in Huangyan County, Yang Shangjing fanned out, called for it, and then managed a few meals, and the big guys could work in full swing, so the support from Zhejiang and even from Nanjing is indispensable.
As for Beijing...... Don't even think about it.
Jiao Hong's sparse cut and abolished the Wadu Division, and replaced it with the Wa Yamen, and the biggest card he played was to "cherish the people's power", "open source and reduce expenditure", and cut expenses.
However, as soon as Yang Shangjing's Bei Wei Yamen replaced the Bei Wei Du Division, he opened his mouth to ask for more money for road construction...... Isn't this just handing the knife to the inner court!
Not to mention anything else, in order to show that he did not "bully the king", Jiao Hong had to jump out first and give Yang Shangjing a knife, and then the inner court could go into battle with knives and forks, put Yang Shangjing on the plate, and have a good meal.
Yang Shangjing smiled strangely and waved his hand: "What Uncle Zhong said is true, but if you want to do this thing, you can do it well, but there is more than one way. ”
Stretching out his hand to draw on the coast of Zhejiang, Yang Shangjing continued: "Li Xin was squeezed away by Jian, but as long as Jian changed his words, gave Jiao Hong a face, and gave Li Xin a step, didn't he still happily go to the south to take office, and before leaving, he still had to come to prepare for the Yamen to meet Jian?" ”
Uncle Zhong was stunned, looked at Yang Shangjing, and asked, "What does the young master want to say?" ”
Yang Shangjing's face became more and more strange, he pointed to the door, and said very mysteriously: "Xiangxian." ”
"Is it difficult for the young master to force donations again? This matter can no longer be repeated, besides, there are many gentry in these three prefectures, and it is by no means comparable to a mere Huangyan County. Uncle Zhong was shocked at that time.
