Chapter 812: The Competition Begins
Newcomer and new atmosphere, becoming the prime minister, if you don't make a little movement, I'm really sorry for this position, Xiao Guicao is unlikely to happen in Da Zhou.
Kou Zhun tried to take the cooperative, but the emperor came forward, and Lu Mengzheng betrayed, and the serious gains outweighed the losses. Fortunately, Kou Zhun is a tough person, and he reflects on the reasons for his failure.
As a new prime minister and a student of Ye Hua, it is too difficult to overturn what the teacher left behind...... Of course, fortunately, he has just succeeded to the throne, and it is impossible for Da Zhou to bear the consequences of continuous reversal, so his position is stable in the short term.
But he also had to make a move, or it would be over.
After a short silence, Kou Zhun quickly made a move...... This time, his target became an overseas possession.
Kou Zhun instructed the promulgation of a commercial and trade law, stipulating that iron ore, coal, rubber, olives, tobacco, sugar, cotton, indigo, grain and other materials must be delivered to Dazhou.
In other words, it is not allowed to sell to local merchants, and all of them must be sent to Dazhou for processing.
Later, he issued a stricter edict, requiring that no private trade between the territories should be allowed, and the same must be sent to the port of the Great Zhou first, and only after paying taxes can it be approved to be shipped to the destination.
These two decrees immediately caused an uproar.
Take Tianzhu as an example, the cotton produced by Tianzhu cannot be sold to local cotton spinning factories, even those opened by Han Chinese, but only to factories in the Great Zhou. It was then woven into cotton cloth by the Da Zhou factory and sold to Tianzhu.
If Tianzhu's cotton wants to be sold to Da Shi, it must first be transported back to the port of Da Zhou, pay taxes to Da Zhou, and then it can be shipped to Da Shi.
"Master, this Kou Zhun is crazy about money, he is robbing!"
Zhao Kuangyi's face turned blue with anger, and he leaned over and said, "Master, do you want me to take action and abolish Kou Zhun?" β
Ye Hua glanced at him, "You have a beard, you can do whatever you want, you can poke a hole in the sky!" β
Zhao Er smiled, he was just angry, let alone him, even if His Majesty the Emperor wanted to abolish Kou Zhun, it was not that simple.
Zhao Er was really angry, he said angrily: "Master, the situation in Tianzhu has been different from the original in the past few years. In the past, it was okay to do this, but now I still come like this, it's purely unpleasant! Zhao Er thought about it and laughed again, "The root of this matter is still on Kou Zhun, and he can be regarded as lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, he deserves it!" β
It turned out that Tianzhu's rebellion was suppressed, tens of millions of people died, and the entire Ganges Plain was covered with white bones.
As a populous country, don't underestimate the reproductive ability of the Tianzhu people, as long as they are given a little time, they will soon refill and even give birth to more offspring.
It's just that Da Zhou doesn't want to give Tianzhu people a chance.
From Guangnan East and West Road, Liangzhejiang Road, Jiangnan East and West Road, a large number of immigrants were sent to as many as two million people before and after! They quickly took possession of the fertile land on both sides of the Ganges and built farm farms one after another.
This is also the ...... of national strength Without a steamship, it would never be possible.
In the south of Tianzhu, Xu Shiling and Zhao Kuangyin have been operating for many years, and there are also nearly a million immigrants, plus the offspring who have given birth, the number of Han people in Tianzhu exceeds three million, and it will soon exceed four million, or even five million!
In the past, Tianzhu was a piece of meat in Da Zhou's mouth, so let them plant cotton instead, and all of them were transported to Da Zhou, so naturally there was no problem. The Governor's Mansion was so happy.
But now the situation is different, the main force of cotton production has become the Han people, who, from an economic point of view, feel that it is profitable to set up a textile factory in Tianzhu.
Not counting Tianzhu livestock, just millions of Han people are not a small market!
Moreover, Tianzhu is closer to Dashi, Africa and Rome, and the labor is cheaper, so Tianzhu is used as a production base to trade with the surrounding areas, which is more profitable.
After Zhao Kuangyi took over as the governor of Tianzhu, after an investigation, Tianzhu has almost 300,000 spindles of cotton spinning capacity, and it is still expanding rapidly, and it is expected to exceed one million spindles within three years.
"Master, it's not a disciple who chews his tongue, it's really Kou Zhun who is too much! Cotton spinning is a relatively promising industry in Tianzhu, and it is impossible to let those stupid pigs and stupid donkeys do heavy industry. The disciple in Tianzhu is nothing more than two major sources of wealth, one is salt and the other is cotton! β
"Kou Zhun These two decrees are equivalent to cutting off one of the disciple's arms! Moreover, he gave away half of the salt shares a few days ago, and the disciple has nothing but the false name of the governor at the moment, which is simply too deceitful! β
If it were someone else, Zhao Kuangyi would not come to complain, he would go straight to it!
Grandma's, do you think Lao Tzu has been mixed up all these years?
What kind of character hasn't died!
You're great that Kozhun assassinated Ibn yet?
Let me tell you, I killed all the emperors of Eastern Rome!
Zhang Yongde's march into Europe is still to use the red pill I gave to open the way, and those turtle princes in Europe have died no less than dozens of people, and those who rely on medicine all day long are even more incalculable.
In front of Zhao Er, relying on Kou Zhun's little Taoism, he really couldn't see it.
It's just a coincidence that Kou Zhun is also a protΓ©gΓ© of the master.
Without the permission of the teacher, he killed each other, and Zhao Er didn't have the guts.
"Master, I really can't figure it out, knowing that Kou Zhun will oppose you old, but still promote him? Isn't this asking for trouble for yourself? Zhao Er complained.
Ye Hua sneered, "If I don't promote Kou Zhun, no one will oppose me?" The way of civil and martial arts, one by one, if you can't even figure this point of truth...... It can only be said that you have drunk too much water in the Ganges River and your mind is not clear! β
Of course, Zhao Er didn't drink the water of the Ganges, but he kept in mind the teacher's warning, went to Tianzhu, and the first thing he did was to choose a relatively high and quiet location, establish the governor's palace, and demarcate a ten-mile range, and did not allow Tianzhu people to approach.
The water he drank and the dishes he ate were all planted by the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty themselves, and Zhao Er didn't have the courage to touch the things outside.
Ye Hua has been in power for many years, he has made a lot of arrangements, weaving a relatively complete set of rules, just like a computer system, after running for a long time, it will naturally produce garbage, and Ye's system has also appeared loopholes and garbage, if Ye Hua continues to do it, at most it will be the same as those historical Ming Jun, and in his old age, it will inevitably be "mediocre"!
Now I need someone to break through the barriers and shackles left by Ye Hua and set sail again!
Of course, the premise is that this person can't mess around and can't smash the pot!
"Do you know what Kou Zhun is squeezing the territory for?" Ye Hua said lightly.
Zhao Kuangyi is from an intelligence background, how can he not know that this is also his most depressed place.
"Kou Zhun spent a huge amount of money to subsidize factories and raise wages...... It is also stipulated that the factory will do four days off and one day off. β
Ye Hua shrugged, "Did you say he did the right thing?" β
"This ...... Master, you didn't say that everything has nothing to do with right or wrong, it mainly depends on where your ass sits! If it seems to us people, it is completely a matter of cutting flesh and mending sores, and the gains outweigh the losses. But in the eyes of ordinary workers, and even in the hearts of wealthy businessmen in Da Zhou, Kou Zhun's actions can be called virtuous politics! β
Ye Hua chuckled and said, "Then which side do you think Master's ass should sit on?" β
"This ......" Zhao Kuangyi pondered for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Master, from the current point of view, it is very necessary to sacrifice overseas territories to meet the needs of the people of the Great Zhou. But one day, there will be more and more Han people in overseas territories, just like Tianzhu, now it is three million, and after five million, ten million, they will hate the practice of the cabinet, and at that time, the disciples will not be able to restrain them! β
Moreover, from the perspective of disciples, wages can only be raised, not reduced, and vacations can only be increased, not reduced...... The appetite of the common people is getting bigger and bigger, and sooner or later, Kou Zhun will not be able to satisfy their appetite! β
Zhao Kuangyi was talking, and suddenly someone said in a muffled voice: "There is even more terrifying!" β
Ye Hua and Zhao Er looked up together, only to see Brother Guo Xing walking in briskly from outside. With a calm face, he grabbed the watermelon juice on the table, drank it all, then wiped his mouth, and began to complain angrily.
"Those people in the cabinet are bullshit, they're a bunch of idiots!"
Zhao Er glanced at him and said curiously: "What, including Ye Xi?" β
Brother Guo Xing was stunned, and couldn't help but roar angrily: "Don't misinterpret what I mean!" Brother Guo Xing raised his head and said to Ye Hua very seriously: "Brother, you know the disadvantages of the steam engine very well, right?" β
Ye Hua nodded, "The steam engine is huge, inefficient, and troublesome to operate, so someone needs to burn the boiler...... These shortcomings cannot be overcome by the steam engine itself, and new dynamics must be explored. β
"Of course!"
Guo Xingge said proudly: "Someone in my team has proposed to drive machinery directly with combustion, and samples have been made. β
"Is it an internal combustion engine?"
"Yes!" Brother Guo Xing smiled and said: "Brother, you are always unpredictable, that is, an internal combustion engine that uses oil as fuel." β
Ye Hua was overjoyed, "This is a good thing, it should be promoted!" β
Brother Guo Xing snorted, "What to promote?" I hit the nail! β
Zhao Er said curiously: "Since it's a good thing, why doesn't anyone want it?" β
Guo Xingge said helplessly: "At present, the internal combustion engine is not mature and needs a lot of improvements, and those factories are used to using steam engines and changing to internal combustion engines. β
"What's worse?"
"Hmm!" Guo Xingge said helplessly: "At present, the cabinet has passed a decree, stipulating that cotton from overseas territories can only be sold to those large factories, and it has given them the right to franchise overseas markets!" Well, now, all factories, lying in bed can make a lot of money, and it's strange that they are willing to innovate technology! β
Brother Guo Xing said angrily: "In the past, the eldest brother was quite opposed to the imperial court's monks, and now the businessman surnamed Kou is even more stupid!" β
Brother Guo Xing said to Ye Hua: "Brother, I came to you this time, just to ask you for help, or my sister-in-law can help, let's build a new factory and use the internal combustion engine to defeat the steam engine!" Tell those idiots that if you don't progress, you'll only die! β
Before Ye Hua could speak, Zhao Kuangyi suddenly became interested, he found that this was a great opportunity, he wanted to give Kou Zhun a little color to see!
"That...... Are you interested in going to Tianzhu? Zhao Er sent out an invitation, he patted his chest and said: "As long as you can go, I will go all out, what you want, unconditional support!" β
