Chapter Ninety-Six: Orientation (II)

It was not that Zhu Chongjiu was blindly optimistic, but based on the historical knowledge in another time and space, he had enough reason to believe that his method was practical and effective.

According to the memory left to him by Zhu Dapeng, the Mengyuan Empire and the later Qing Dynasty adopted a standard model of green forest spoils at the beginning of the founding of the country. That is, every time you fight, you will share dividends to your supporters according to how much you contribute. In the event of a failure in the expedition, the loss will also be borne by all contributors.

Although the dividend algorithm of the above two gangs is far less strict than that of Huaiyang. But the rationale is the same. There is no reason to adapt to 1279 and 1644 in another time and space, but not 1355 in between these two eras.

In addition, not only did Meng Yuan and I rely on a fair distribution of spoils to establish the country in the Qing Dynasty, but also the division of kings with different surnames in the early Han Dynasty and the release of military power by a cup of wine in the early Song Dynasty, which also faintly contained the shadow of taking the lead in sharing dividends between the eldest brother and the younger brother after laying down the country, but it was far inferior to Meng Yuan and my Daqing Exposed.

The only one who refuses to play cards according to common sense is probably only two people in another time and space history. One of them is called Zhu Yuanzhang, and as a result, he was scolded from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and then continued to the 21st century, becoming the second tyrant of the ages after Qin Shi Huang.

Zhu Chongjiu doesn't want to be a tyrant through the ages, although his projection Zhu Dapeng in another time and space has a true or false relationship with the Zhu Yuanzhang family. So when he finally made up his mind to win the championship, he adopted a traditional approach without hindrance, rather than working against tradition like Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's just that, compared to the green forest model adopted by the two families of Temujin and Aixin Jueluo, Zhu Chongjiu has integrated the genes of start-up companies from the 21st century in another time and space into the Huaiyang Governor's Mansion. Not only did they take the initiative to allocate "original shares" to each department manager and veteran employees, but also rated the bonus distribution level of the year according to their respective positions and contributions. In addition to the dividends of share capital, everyone can also get another benefit. It truly achieves the blessing and sharing, and the rewards and punishments are clear.

So far, facts have proved that Zhu Chongjiu's method can indeed greatly improve the cohesion of the team and greatly boost the morale of the entire Huaiyang system. All the core backbones of the Grand Governor's Office are full of praise for the treatment that if they do not benefit from corruption, they can regularly get a large amount of dividends from Huaiyang Firm. Even Liu Bowen and Zhang Yi, who have always hated copper smell, accepted the voucher every time they got the dividend voucher, never said a word of refusal, and never tore the voucher and threw it in the mud to prove that they were high.

And once Zhu Chongjiu's "Huaiyang Shares" collapsed and acquired "Mengyuan Animal Husbandry" a few years later, and then swallowed up many small start-up companies such as "Zhu's Industry", "Han-Liu Joint Venture", "Zhang's Tunken", "Fang's Ocean" and "Pu's Sea Trade", and finally dominated the world. As long as the "core employees" under his command do not voluntarily withdraw their shares halfway, they will all become real billionaires. At that time, he wants everyone to hand over some of his privileges, and presumably the resistance will not be greater than that faced by Zhu Yuanzhang in another time and space. (Note 1) In line with the above-mentioned model and mechanism, the year-end review meeting of the Huaiyang Grand Governor's Office continued to be carried out in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Except for a very small number of ancient eaters, almost everyone is full of expectations for the development of the Grand Governor's Mansion next year and the future path. Xu Shouhui has been firmly held in the hands of the Grand Governor's Mansion; Bianliang's red scarf was greatly damaged in the civil strife; Zhang Shicheng is short-sighted and not worth worrying about; Zhu Yuanzhang was placed between the Jingzhou Army and the Huai'an Army, and sooner or later he could not escape; After careful calculation, that is, Meng Yuan can still pose a threat to Huaiyang. And the Mengyuan Imperial Court was obviously terminally ill after the death of Toto, and if it dragged on for a few more years, even if the Huaiyang Army did not take the initiative to swear to the Northern Expedition, it would probably fall to the ground by itself.

A qiē looks like spring is bright, and sooner or later the world will be surnamed Zhu. However, in the imperial palace of Dadu, thousands of miles away, Tuhuan Timur obviously would not agree with this point of view.

Half a year of rest and recuperation has not only made the Huaiyang area prosperous. The Mongol and Yuan imperial courts in the provinces north of the Yellow River are also slowly recovering their vitality. In particular, Dadu, Jining, Zhending, Jizhou and other places, because of the concentration of a large number of private properties of the imperial village and top princes and nobles, under the painstaking management of the two monarchs and ministers of Tuhuan Timur and Hama, they actually showed a different kind of vitality.

At the end of the year, Tuhuan Timur will work with his wife and children in the palace to secretly calculate the year's income and make some rough plans for the coming year. However, I don't know it, but I'm shocked. His Majesty, the emperor, who had been accustomed to worrying and fearing life since he was a child, was surprised to find that after losing the salt tax of Lianghuai, and most of the taxes from the south were in arrears, the national treasury and the imperial treasury actually had surpluses!

In particular, the amount of the royal private treasury after making year-end settlements with several big merchants controlled by the Qi clan was more than five times higher than at this time last year. This made Tuhuan Timur's hands suddenly more comfortable, and he no longer had to come forward to negotiate with the household officials in person in order to give alms to the monastery as before.

"This is all the credit of Lord Guo, the Ordnance Superintendent!" Qi Shi is a conscientious person, and after reading the account book, he immediately drank water and thought about the source.

"Well, that's right, Xiao Liuzhi is the descendant of Master Guo after all!" Tuhuan Timur very happily admitted his wife's opinion and nodded with a smile.

Both husband and wife knew that if it were not for the more than 6,000 new man-made waist machines in the royal workshop, which were constantly weaving yarn into cloth day and night, there would not have been such a large surplus in the royal private treasury. In addition, the hydraulic yarn machine imitated by the six-fingered prodigy Guo Shu also showed its might on both sides of the Sanggan River in autumn. Not only can it spin cotton and linen yarn, but it can also spin wool into coarse threads after careful adjustments. In this way, the wool produced in the pastures is not only used to roll felt, but can be spun into cloth like cotton. The texture is no worse than the woolen cloth sold by the great cannibals from the sea, and it is twice less than one percent of its price.

Therefore, after the autumn of this year, despite the continuous decline in the prices of cotton cloth and silk on the market, the workshops and businesses controlled by the royal family still made a lot of money. Some quick-witted and lively princes and ministers also sent housekeepers to contact Guo Shu in an attempt to get a piece of the pie from the emerging industry. Under their joint promotion, for a time, the sound of weaving in Dadu, Jining, Zhending and other places continued day and night, driving other industries in the market to flourish together.

Wool is the cheapest and cheapest thing in the world, and most of it is thrown away in previous years, so for the dignitaries who own many ranches and estates, it is equivalent to a windfall that costs nothing. The spinning machine is propelled by water and is erected on both sides of the Sangan River without much expense. It's just a water-powered loom, and so far, the six-fingered prodigy Guo Shu has not been able to imitate it. But he took the lead in imitating the man-powered waist machine, which was also several times faster than the old-fashioned loom.

Anyway, all the princes and ministers have countless slaves in their homes. As long as they are given food every day, they can work from morning to late at night. With the advantage of numbers, it is still possible to weave low-cost cloth, which is shorter and longer than the Huai cloth that comes along the canal.

The Mongols were a learning people, and Genghis Khan's expedition to the west brought back new catapults and hellfires from the Western Regions. Therefore, when they discovered the enemy's strengths again, they immediately began to steal and learn at any cost. Not only are the Timurid couple and the ministers working hard to steal learning, but there are also countless people of insight who are taking the initiative to imitate Huaiyang. This is the spontaneous instinct in their bones, although after more than 70 years of pampering, most of it has been consumed, and the rest is still playing a role, allowing them to catch up. [2] In a short period of time, the result of their catch-up was that the crisis of the empty treasury was greatly alleviated. The royal family and the princely and important ministers have become prosperous again. The weapons and armor of the Imperial Guards have been greatly replenished. The food supply of volunteers in various places has also been gradually restored.

Although some people are still worriedly reminding that the loom competes with the people for profit, so that ordinary women can no longer help their husbands support their families with a spinning wheel and a shuttle machine. More and more beggars and homeless people appeared on the streets of Dadu and the cities around Dadu. But their twists and turns, before they arrived in Zhongshu Province, had already turned into waste paper. Even if an occasional fish slipped through the net and successfully got into the desk of Tuhuan Timur, it was regarded as the remnants of the party who had escaped from the net deliberately causing chaos to the imperial court, and could not get any response from Tuhuan Timur, the son of Mengyuan Heaven.

"I don't have to rely on Tokhtar! If this continues, in less than two years, I will be able to send another 300,000 troops! This time, I want to personally conquer and personally cut off the head of the Zhu butcher to comfort the ancestors and ancestors. "After drinking a few bowls of mare's milk wine with his family, Tuhuan Timur patted the back of the prince's love and knew Rita, and looked forward drunkly." When the time comes, you will remain in the capital to oversee the country. You have to remember that the government cannot fall into the hands of powerful ministers, even if he is your flesh and blood brother, you must always be on guard. This human heart is the most unreliable thing in the world! ”

"Thank you for your father's teaching!" Aiyu knew that Li Dara didn't seem to understand, but he pretended to understand everything, and nodded vigorously.

Of course, he can't hide from Tuhuan Timur, who has been in power for more than 30 years. So, this rare Meng Yuan Tianzi, who didn't want to pick yin and supplement yang today, smiled and continued: "Although the Han people have many problems, the wisdom of their ancestors cannot be underestimated. In the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Su once advised Sun Quan to say a word, what to say, the ministers can surrender, but only the lord can't. Huh"

Motioning with his gaze to Empress Qi to pour himself a glass of wine, he shook his head with a smile while drinking, "The ministers are just royal men, and if they lose all the money of the owner, they can still change their families." Maybe you can get a higher salary, or even become a shopkeeper. But the royal family is the owner of this country, if the capital is eroded, there will be no fart left. So, my boy, you must keep an eye on your men and shopkeepers, lest they steal your money and fool you like a fool! ”

"Smack!" A huge firework blooms in mid-air, and the cherry blossoms are colorful, illuminating the eyes of the husband and son.

"Dangdangdang, dangdangdang, dangdang!" The bells of the temples rang at the same time.

The new year is coming, there is no distinction between north and south, and at this moment, everyone's eyes are full of good expectations.

Note 1: Zhu Dapeng's history and politics are taught by the physical education teacher, so don't laugh at him.

Note 2: Trebuchets appeared in the Central Plains very early, but the range and power of the return cannons used by the Mongols far exceeded those of the early trebuchets.
