Chapter 527: A Sneak Peek

After asking Sun Chengzong, Yang Gai asked Bi Ziyan again to see if he had anything to say and what questions he had to ask.

"Do you still have any questions about the Bi Qing family?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although the Zunhua Iron Smelting Institute has been abandoned for many years, it does not mean that the pit mines previously opened by the Zunhua Iron Smelting Institute are now abandoned, if Your Majesty wants to reopen the Zunhua Iron Smelting Institute, these pits and mines that have been abandoned in name have long been abandoned, but in fact there are still people smelting......" Bi Ziyan Zhengchen's temper flareed up, reminding the emperor.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Yang Reform didn't react at once, what does it mean to be deserted but there are still people smelting.

“…… Cough, Your Majesty, behind the pit mine, there must be a strong man, Zunhua Iron Smelting Institute was the largest iron smelting place in the north, although the iron smelting place is abandoned, it does not mean that the pit mines owned by the iron smelting are all dug up, and the iron smelting station is deserted, that is because the institution is huge and complex, and the consumption is too heavy, not that the pit and mine are exhausted,...... cough, that is to say......" Bi Ziyan tried to explain things as clearly as possible.

"I see, I see!" Yang Reform listened to Bi Ziyan's explanation, and already understood what Bi Ziyan meant, that is to say, now he wants to reopen the iron smelting station, those mines and sites that were originally owned by the iron smelting station, and now they have been occupied by others, and if they want to reopen the mines, they can't bypass a special force - Haoqiang, they are local bullies, the emperor of the soil, obviously, only by leveling them down, this iron smelting station can continue.

Bi Ziyan looked at the emperor seriously, hoping that the emperor really understood the trickiness of this matter, the Haoqiang involved behind the pits, those forces are really not small, back then the God Sect sent some eunuchs to collect pit taxes, and it was not one or two who were killed, this matter, but not a few ordinary people on the surface, the people were full of food and support, and dared to do something to the tax supervisors sent by the emperor, even with brocade guards to be beaten, without those days and the earth are not afraid of the Haoqiang behind the back, how many ordinary people dare to do it? Besides, the taxes collected by the mine supervisor are all pit taxes, and the taxes collected are actually the taxes of the mine miners, and how much does it have to do with the people? The problem behind this is not small, although the emperor is very strong now, Bi Ziyan is still worried that the emperor will follow the old path of Emperor Shenzong.

"Your Majesty understands it, and the minister won't say much, just remind Your Majesty that the incident of Emperor Shenzong's mine supervisor back then must not be repeated." Bi Ziyan saw that the emperor had made it clear, so he didn't plan to explain it to the emperor at length, presumably with the wisdom of the current emperor, there should be corresponding countermeasures.

"This matter, I will deal with it, Bi Qingjia is reasonable, I wrote it ......down" Yang Reform frowned and said, for this, Yang Reform is still mentally prepared, this matter was mentioned in the history textbook back then, and Yang Reform was quite impressed, Yang Reform felt that there were doubts back then, wasn't it glorious to pay taxes? How did it become shameful to collect taxes in the Ming Dynasty? Doesn't the book say that eunuchs have great powers? How did you get killed like this? Didn't the book say that Jinyiwei was very good and dark, and he could catch whoever he wanted? Why are you still being beaten? Later, I gradually understood that being an emperor is sometimes very helpless, and many times I have to swallow a stream of evil qi. In fact, in such a world where there is no need to pay taxes, it is a paradise for people from the twenty-first world, and they have the means to deal with the so-called Haoqiang who make money and make crazy money and do not pay a penny of taxes.

"Sun Qingjia, you are going, you need to immediately increase the production capacity of steel, not to mention the cannon, it must be in great demand, in addition, I calculated, just to replace the carriage of the post delivery system, it will be about four or five thousand, and it will be that kind of big carriage, plus the chariot that replaces the official army, this number will be even greater, if you count the public transportation carriages in the city, this number is afraid that it will easily be tens of thousands, as soon as the policy of subsidizing the carriage comes out, the output of the carriage will definitely skyrocket, and the annual output will most likely be tens of thousands, You have to prepare enough steel to support the operation of the carriage yard, if there is a shortage of steel at that time, I can only ask you......" Yang Reform and Sun Yuanhua explained.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has written it down, and after I go back, I will immediately expand my production capacity." Sun Yuanhua excitedly agreed immediately.

"Okay, in addition, as the Qing family said, the iron needed for shipbuilding is extraordinarily large, in this regard, the Qing family also has to think of more ways, to contact the shipyard more, I will also instruct Zheng Huaizhong, let him do most of the business to you, you are close to Tianjin anyway, it is convenient to board the ship, in addition, what kind of farm tool business, can not be put down, even if it is not profitable, it is good to increase steel production, in my hands of the steel output, the more the better." Yang Gengai added that he would not learn what taxes to collect like Wanli, which disgusted tens of thousands of people, and his imperial party or eunuchs were beaten, which would be too faceless, and he would only open his own iron factory, dump a large number of commodities into the market, and collapse those iron factories that were opened by force, let them know their means, let them know the consequences of not paying taxes, and let them cry and shout and beg them to pay taxes. ,

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has written it down." Sun Yuanhua agreed again.

"Well, there is also a must be remembered, although there will be big companies to take over some of your business in the future, but the core things must be in your hands, not slack, such as casting cannons, this is absolutely not allowed to operate the business, such as the research and development of new steel, this must also be in your hands, and the technology must not be leaked casually...... and when those businesses gradually settle in you, the focus of your work must gradually shift to management...... "Yang Gengai tirelessly explained.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands......" Sun Yuanhua said again.

"Okay, you understand, you are going to Fengrun County, I will invest a lot of money in the heavy industry base, if you do well, this Fengrun County is very likely to be upgraded to a state soon, or the government is not sure, this matter, you have to have a ...... in your heart" Yang Reform explained again, this can be regarded as a model borrowed from Shanghai.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands......" Sun Yuanhua was excited and happy when he heard it, a large sum of money? Sure enough, I just don't know how much this large amount of money is.

Yang Reform explained things one by one, and finally had a preliminary shelf, at least it was arranged to the level of his core imperial party, and the rest was to settle the ministers in the court, and the cage policy, and then organize the firms, fiddle with stocks, and settle in the heavy industry base, which is really opening the curtain of heavy industry.

……

After sending away a few of his henchmen, Yang Gengai's mouth was dry, and he originally thought that building an industrial base was a very simple matter. Now it seems that nothing that involves the national economy and people's livelihood and changes the future is simple, and it is simply a dream to make an industrial base with a few simple orders.

"Omato, what do you think of that heroic thing?" After sending off the ministers, Yang Gai asked Wang Chengen again, and the matter of Haoqiang's occupation of that territory had to be dealt with as soon as possible.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the slave and maid listen to Your Majesty in this matter." Wang Chengen said.

"Well, in this way, you send a competent person to talk to the Haoqiang who occupies the land in my circle, and say that I have taken a fancy to that land and wants to do business, if he is willing to do business with me, I welcome it, and will give him two, no, I will give him one percent of the shares, let him think about it himself, how to persuade him, I won't say much......" Yang Reform said, it is actually very simple to deal with those local Haoqiang, use silver, use greater Haoqiang to suppress him, no matter how strong you are, even if the emperor does not make a move, you can follow the emperor to do business with those nobles, The extra-large heroes are not as good-tempered as the emperor, and if they dare to prevent the emperor from making money, they are their enemies, and they must be brought down and crushed. To suppress the small Haoqiang, this matter, there is no need to spend a dime of their own thoughts, of course, the one percent of the shares given, do not have to pay a penny of silver, after receiving the stock silver, go to print paper tickets, this thing, that is, use other people's silver to buy a horse bone, and if you encounter similar things in the future, you will not make a mess like Wanli back then, and your face was beaten.

"The slave obeys the order, Your Majesty, how is Zhang Chun of the celebrant eunuch?" Wang Chengen immediately asked. As for what the emperor said about giving one percent of the shares, Wang Chengen didn't care about this, he only cared about who to send to conform to the emperor's wishes.

"Zhang Chun? Uh, that's him. Yang Reform said, this person is a little impressed, it can be regarded as the "errand" of the celebrant supervisor, but when he is released to do things, the origin is not small, and the name of the celebrant is enough to scare many people.

"The slave obeys, and this will be done." Wang Chengen agreed.

"In addition, I also sent a letter to Zheng Huaizhong in Jiangnan, saying that I am going to open an iron smelting plant, and let him do most of the business where Sun Yuanhua goes." Yang Gai commanded again.

"The slave obeys, and this will be done." Wang Chengen agreed again.

Looking at the back of Wang Chengen going out, Yang Gengai rubbed his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, this matter, there is finally an eyebrow, and then, I have to wait for the news, and now I can be regarded as letting out the news of the subsidy carriage manufacturing, presumably those people with sharp noses will smell things, after the stocks of the carriage are good to sell, then the stocks of the steel mill must be good to sell, and then the stocks of coal mines must be good to sell, and then the coking, iron, and transportation transactions have also been brought up, and the chain reaction will be down, and the industrial base will also have a look.

……

Sun Yuanhua said goodbye to the emperor, left the Forbidden City, had lunch, and was ready to go back to Tianjin, but now the burden on his body was too heavy, and he didn't dare to stay in the capital longer. ,

However, there is one thing that arouses Sun Yuanhua's interest even more, that is, what the emperor said, Liu Mao is engaged in what kind of postal carriage, what kind of public transportation is coming, maybe on the way to Tongzhou, Sun Yuanhua wrote it down and paid attention. He was going to find Liu Mao to see how this matter was done, the entire Ming Dynasty's post delivery had to be replaced with a four-wheeled carriage, this action was not small, thinking of that kind of magnificent painting-like handwriting, Sun Yuanhua felt that he had to go and see it first, he had to take a sneak peek, what kind of thing the emperor made.

Leading the horse and taking his entourage, Sun Yuanhua walked through the streets and alleys, and soon found Liu Mao's location.

On the big square of Liulizhai, there are several big carriages parked, and I heard the little official say that Liu Mao is probably here.

Sun Yuanhua has changed his clothes, dressed as a scholar who has gone far away, and looks like a student who has traveled around, which is also in line with his identity.

Sun Yuanhua got the guidance of a certain small official, and knew that Liu Mao was "hiding" here, and learned from the emperor's tone that Liu Mao would probably go into battle to do this in person, Sun Yuanhua said that he moved a certain small official, and asked that little official to take him to find their family, Liu Mao Liu.

Soon, the sharp-eyed little official accurately found his master from the crowd, although his master had changed his clothes.

After being reminded by the little official, Sun Yuanhua saw Liu Mao, a thin old man, standing not far from the carriages and looking at it, looking embarrassed.

Liu Mao is embarrassed about running Tongzhou, the emperor asked him to do everything himself, but he really can't wipe his face, the carriage is here, the War Bureau gave him several carriages on the same day, for him to open the line of Tongzhou, but how to operate, he is hesitant, indecisive, directly call the following people to get it, but I am afraid that the emperor will know that he looks down on himself, and he will get it himself, this old face really can't be pulled down, he is a dignified jinshi, the emperor's "quasi-confidant", but he wants to do this cheap business, Dealing with people from all walks of life, I'm complaining here.

"Shopkeeper Liu." Sun Yuanhua greeted him with a smile, and without waiting for Liu Mao to speak, he said with a smile, if he was a "Qincha", Liu Mao should give him a salute, but he was a lifter, Liu Mao was a jinshi, in order not to be embarrassed, Sun Yuanhua directly called the shopkeeper, anyway, they were all wearing ordinary people's clothes, Sun Yuanhua just wanted to have a sneak peek and see what the four-wheeled carriage that the emperor was going to replace was like, so as to continue to sketch the magnificent picture in his heart, which has been stirring in his heart.

Liu Mao, who was about to greet and salute, was stunned, shopkeeper? Immediately understood, a smile immediately bloomed on his face, and he also smiled: "It turned out to be the shopkeeper Sun, who was polite and polite." "It's easier for him not to follow the rules of officialdom, otherwise he will salute in front of the public, and he will not feel good, not to mention this identity, it will ruin the emperor's affairs, so he will follow Sun Yuanhua's call, so that everyone is at ease.

"Courteous, courteous." Sun Yuanhua also arched his hand, he has seen it, since everyone is the emperor's party, and they are all the emperor's henchmen, and now they are grasshoppers on the same line, so there is no need to be too angry, he also knows that Liu Mao is wearing ordinary people's clothes to do things for the emperor, and he casually broke his identity, which is not good.

"I heard that Shopkeeper Liu is going to do the business of this Jingshi to Tongzhou, so I came here to see what it was to see what it was, hehe, please don't be surprised by Shopkeeper Liu." Sun Yuanhua, who is very curious, wants to know how to get this kind of new carriage for the whole country, this kind of thing is also a rare event, and now that he has caught up, he will naturally not let it go.

"Ahem, hey, Shopkeeper Sun is well-informed!" Liu Mao was taken aback at first, he did this, but few people knew, but this Sun Yuanhua said by name what he was doing, obviously a well-informed person, thinking about Sun Yuanhua's background, and relieved, Sun Yuanhua should have cast a cannon in Tianjin, but now he is in the capital, without the emperor's call, he dares to enter Beijing privately? Presumably, this will just meet the emperor and come out of the palace, it is not surprising that there is inside information, the emperor's actions are very fast! Liu Mao secretly exclaimed in his heart.

"Hehe, I just came out of the big shopkeeper, I heard that the shopkeeper Sun is doing this business here, I came here to see a fresh, I am really curious about the big shopkeeper's business, I think I must have a sneak peek, hehe......, I am going to go back to Tianjin, and I am also going to do a business for the shopkeeper Liu......" Sun Yuanhua said with a smile. ,

The big shopkeeper? Liu Mao was shocked and sweated, this Sun Yuanhua really dared to scream! Comparing the emperor to a big treasurer, if the emperor knows about it, the consequences will ......

"Hey, hey, it's easy to say, it's easy to say." Liu Mao could only laugh a few times, it seems that the treatment of the emperor's party or the emperor's henchmen is indeed different from ordinary people, not to mention the rest, he has become a person valued by the emperor, at least he is bolder, otherwise, who dares to call the emperor a big shopkeeper and a big shopkeeper?

"I heard the big shopkeeper say that it won't be long before all the shopkeepers Liu's business will be equipped with new carriages, but is it all like this? That's huge! …… The handwriting of the big shopkeeper is really huge, and the shopkeeper Liu is about to develop......" Sun Yuanhua said with a smile, while saying "black words", he pointed to the big carriage next to him and couldn't help but admire, a look of amazement.

"Hey, hey, hey......" Liu Mao began to sweat, the big shopkeeper called, he really couldn't scream, Sun Yuanhua asked, he could only embarrassment, hey a few times, nodded in agreement.

“…… Shopkeeper Sun, come and talk, come and talk......" Liu Mao hurriedly pulled Sun Yuanhua into an empty carriage, and Liu Mao was frightened.

Sun Yuanhua was admiring this four-** carriage that could hold more than ten people, but was pulled into the carriage by Liu Mao.

"Lord Sun, you're scared to death." Liu Mao gave Sun Yuanhua a few big shopkeepers who were frightened.

"Hehe, Lord Liu, you might as well, I think Your Majesty has always been generous, I won't care about these, even if I know, I won't care, I heard Your Majesty say that your Excellency is here to do the public carriage business from Beijing to Tongzhou, I want to come and see, what is the post carriage that has been changed all over the world, what kind of changes will it bring to the world, to be honest, I am really surprised in the next, how can Your Majesty have such a big courage and mind, think of such a broad thing, In addition to admiration, there is no other way......, ......hey, when I think that the whole world is this kind of four-wheeled carriage, I feel that the whole body is boiling, once the world post station is equipped with this kind of carriage, not to mention anything else, just disaster relief, is an incomparable weapon! …… Hey, Lord Liu, don't be surprised, I really want to have a sneak peek...... "The more Sun Yuanhua said, the more excited he became, in the palace, when the emperor told him, although he felt surprised, although he felt unimaginable, he knew that this would definitely be a magnificent picture, but when he saw this long, four-wheeled carriage that could hold more than ten people, he was even more surprised, and he was even more excited.
