Sighing helplessly, Shen Cong also had a little headache, Vladivostok has just developed this place, and there is nothing to be nostalgic for at present, it can only play the role of a port transfer and the role of the second gathering place of the Shen family, if you want to maintain the wealth of the Shen family, you must return to Daming, after all, Daming has a vast consumer market, and there are still many shops of the Shen family in Daming.

Although the current Golden Family has been beaten by Daming and has no power to fight back and has been shattered, it will not be long before the tile spur will be strong, which can also continue to involve Zhu Yuanzhang.

Moreover, now that the wealth of the Shen family has been transferred to Vladivostok, and the Shen family's foreign trade business has continued because of the existence of Vladivostok, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Shen family is also quite optimistic and will not collapse because of Zhu Yuanzhang's strong blow.

Vladivostok is temporarily stable, after thinking about it, Shen Cong decided to go back to Daming to rectify the Shen family's shops, and turn it up here in Vladivostok, which has no future, not to mention that some people of the Shen family are also in Daming, and they did not follow him to Vladivostok, not to mention that the financial resources for the development of Vladivostok still need to be supported by the Shen family industry in Daming.

"It seems that history still doesn't plan to let me go, I still have to ride the wind and waves in the long stream of history." Shen Congtian sighed.

It would be great if he crossed over and was the son of a poor man, as long as he used his ingenuity to make money to support his family and marry his wife.

It's good now, crossing over to become a rich second generation, which should have been an identity that people envy and hate, but it turned out to be a rich second generation who was highlighted in the emperor's blacklist, of course, it is very easy to escape the emperor's minions with his own ability, but now there are a group of people who need to be responsible for themselves, and they can't leave it alone.

Shen Cong planned to immediately form a good relationship with Zhu Yuanzhang's advisers after returning this time, these people could still protect their own safety and provide more information for themselves to a certain extent.

After all, there is now a port, but there is no goods available for trading, and almost all the goods available for trading are in Daming, only with the help of the official, the transportation of goods in the future of the Shen family can be convenient.

Early the next morning, Shen Cong gathered several right-hand men and explained them carefully.

"Tomorrow I will leave for Daming, here will be handed over to you, you have a good development here, don't toss too much movement, let alone participate in the internal contradictions of the Jurchens, just maintain the status quo, and then I have to develop the development plan and wait for me to open up the channels of Daming, then everything will naturally fall into place."

Shen Cong had to explain carefully to these people, after all, this place is within the range of the Jurchens, and it is close to the Joseon Dynasty, so it looks very safe, but in fact, there is also an undercurrent of waves behind it, of course, compared with the situation in Daming, as long as the Shen family is behaving here and does not cause trouble, then naturally no one will provoke it.

Before leaving, Shen Cong sent treasures to the Jurchen leaders, entrusted them to take good care of them, and collected the money to naturally eliminate disasters for others, and the Jurchens were of course full of promises.

This time when he returned to Daming, Shen Cong led people directly through Shanhaiguan to the territory of Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

Leaving Daming was the autumn of last year, and now it is spring when I come back, smelling the fragrance of a hundred flowers, looking at the bustling crowd on the streets of Beiping, Shen Cong's heart is full of joy and happiness: "In the end, the Central Plains is good, there are many people, not lonely." ”

"Yes, sir, in the end, the Central Plains is good." A few people behind him also nodded, these days have been in the Northeast, the climate is too cold, it's just fatal, I don't want to eat all kinds of snacks, where can I compare to the flowers of the Central Plains.

found a restaurant to live in, and Shen Cong nested under this building and began to listen to gossip and grasp the useful information now.

"Your Majesty used the power of thunder this time to eradicate many landlords, and my family got a lot of land, Your Majesty is really good."

"You can pull it down, the land is there, but the tax is not less, and even more taxes, what is the matter, the more terrible court also forcibly buys grain at a low price, how can the people live."

"That's not a big deal, you know? What's even worse is that some officials took the opportunity to copy the landlord's home, and also copied a lot of our fellow villagers' homes, otherwise we would not have been displaced here, homeless, the land that originally belonged to us is now all occupied by the officials, and they are simply the new landlords. ”

"That is, it stands to reason that the Mongols have been defeated, and we should also rest, so why do we still have to pay grain and forcibly buy it? You don't know, the official messenger came to my house and almost wanted to eat people. ”

Listening to the discussion of the people, Shen Cong smiled and said nothing, it is right to rectify the landlord class, but it also destroys the production relations of feudal society, coupled with the continuous use of troops by the Ming Dynasty, the labor loss is serious, and it is difficult to return to the capital in a short period of time, I have to say that Zhu Yuanzhang's starting point is good, but this is good, but it is not for the people, but purely for the rule of their old Zhu family.

After Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a peasant, won the world, he learned the lessons of the Yuan Dynasty, and as an emperor from the lowest level of society, he saw that the common people had a place of last resort.

Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang became king in the south of Nanjing, he paid great attention to the problems of peasants, encouraged peasants to open up wasteland, and stipulated that all newly reclaimed wasteland would be exempted from rent and tax for three years; Due to years of war and chaos, the land was barren, and the population was drastically reduced, he issued a decree that as long as no one wasteland, as long as it was "reported", whoever reclaimed it belonged to him, and others should not be dismissive; Vigorously reduce interest rates and rents, so that after the harvest season, the peasants can still survive the winter with the grain they have left, that is to say, the peasants can only be self-sufficient in grain, and the rest must be given to the state.

However, there is a small story in this, that is, the rent interest in various places was cut, but it did not include the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which is said to be because the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang supported Zhang Shicheng too much, and almost caused Zhang's military ships to take Stone Town. This story is not very credible, but it is true that the tax burden in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has always been heavier than that in other regions.

The emphasis on agriculture was due to the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang came from the countryside, perhaps suffering from the hoarding of merchants in the famine years, and Zhu Yuanzhang had a natural aversion to merchants. If Zhu Yuanzhang is just an ordinary person, this disgust may not matter, but he is the emperor, and in feudal society, he represents the law.

Therefore, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the life of merchants was a bit bleak, not at all like the scenery of the Song Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's suppression of industry and commerce, the whole affected the course of China: the better social and economic operation with merchants as the link developed in the Song Dynasty, after the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty and the suppression of the early Ming Dynasty, has basically disappeared, and the self-sufficient small peasant economy has regained the absolute dominance of China's economic life.

The Ming Dynasty's monopoly on agriculture had already come out at that time, suppressing the industries with higher returns such as industry, mining and commerce, stabilizing agriculture, and preventing a large number of land annexations, but the social division of labor was correspondingly suppressed, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the officials did not even have the copper to mint money, so they had to melt the bronze as cultural relics.

"Ugh." Thinking of this, Shen Cong sighed a little helplessly: "If Zhu Yuanzhang is a farmer, he must be a good farmer, but it is really bad to be the emperor and govern the world." ”
