The breeze is blowing, the fragrance of flowers is pleasant, and the wife is on the side. Zhu Yongxing finished reviewing a document, signed and sealed, took the tea handed over by Mengzhu, took a sip, let out a comfortable breath, and reached out to caress Mengzhu's bulging lower abdomen.

"Your Highness." Long Er sorted out the numbers, came over, looked at Mengzhu's lower abdomen, and couldn't hide his envy, "According to the Zheng family's report, your dividends will more than double this year!" ”

Hehe, Zhu Yongxing chuckled, not very concerned about how much money he could make. However, he also admires the sensitivity and shrewdness of businessmen. Before, he only speculated that the Qing court would move along the coast, but the Zheng family remembered it in their hearts and regarded it as a good opportunity to make a fortune. Jiangxi's porcelain, Jiangnan's silk, tea, and raw silk have all become goods hoarded by merchant groups. Now that the supply of goods in the inland is cut off, it is really a hard profit.

Of course, this won't last long. A secret armistice agreement was reached with Wu Sangui, and the additional terms of it were trade and commerce. Guizhou will serve as a transit station, and Wu Sangui will send people to purchase goods from all over the interior for Yunnan Province according to the list, and both companies will be able to obtain benefits from it.

Wu Sangui, who was controlled by the Qing court, needed money, and the Nanming government, which was at war with the Qing Dynasty, also needed money, and this win-win model was satisfactory to both sides. It's just that Wu Sangui makes a small profit, and the Nanming government exports goods, but it makes a lot of money.

Mengzhu chuckled, covered Zhu Yongxing's hand, and asked happily, "Do you feel it?" It's dishonest, kick me. ”

"Well, it's very energetic, it's very happy!" Zhu Yongxing didn't actually feel anything, but he smiled happily, pregnant women, you have to keep your family in a good mood.

"Yes. Let me touch, let me listen. The dragon jumped over, stroked it gently, and put its ear to listen carefully, its eyes shining with curiosity and envy.

Mengzhu smiled happily and contentedly, and leaned her head on Zhu Yongxing's shoulder. I also rubbed it affectionately.

Zhu Yongxing hugged his wife and closed his eyes slightly. A moment later, the other side came over with a soft body, clinging tightly, and the arms rubbed against the two towering balls.

The days are getting better and better! Zhu Yongxing hugged left and right, and his thoughts flew again.

Mekong Province has begun to develop and begin to encroach on the Ha Tien region in the south, and almost no money and food needs are transferred from the treasury. A good place for three or four crops a year, it can become the largest rice distribution center in the future. It's not without reason and its own advantages. Governor Zong Shouyi confidently assured the government that after the grain harvest in the second half of this year, there would be a surplus to support the southwest.

Maritime trade continues to show a good upward momentum, Hai Phong, not to mention Saigon, has also begun to take shape, and the economy will become more and more prosperous under the care of export goods. than the port country of Mojiu in history, "it attracts business travel from all over the world and attracts overseas countries." The sails are connected, and they are close to China, Tang, Fang, and Barbarian. The scene of a large number of displaced people and a dense household registration is obviously decades ahead of schedule.

Casting molten glass on a large iron table, and using the casting method to make large plate glass, has been successfully developed, and the mirror has exceeded four feet, exceeding the Venetian record at the highest. Only six pieces were made in the first batch. It reached a maximum of six feet and sold for an unbelievably high price. Regardless of size, the production and sales of glass mirrors in Asia are basically monopolized, bringing rolling profits to Nanming's finances.

The promotion of sweet potato and potato cultivation in the occupied territories has eased the pressure on food during the reconstruction and recovery phases. Although it is not yet possible to completely get rid of the import of grain, the situation has improved a lot, and the saved funds have been transferred to the military industry, constantly improving the equipment and combat strength of the Ming army.

Due to Zhu Yongxing's implementation of the simplification of officials, the bureaucracy is very capable, although it is small. Rising local taxes have been able to ensure the maintenance of officials and the operation of the government, which has saved a lot of financial funds.

The development of the military industry is also gratifying, and some work, such as the production of military uniforms, simple parts of guns, the construction of bayonets, and the rolling of paper shells for fixed ammunition...... Much of the shift has been made to private outsourcing. Home-based production not only allows people to get extra income and improve their lives; In time, it will be possible to train a large number of skilled workers, creating conditions for the expansion of military factories in the future. Moreover, this method was a good way to circumvent the social traditions of the time, so that more and more women also participated, and the utilization rate of personnel was improved.

Although Zhu Yongxing did not put forward this advanced slogan, he clearly remembered the scene of women working in the workshop in the war documentary.

The war is moving in the direction Zhu Yongxing expected. A war in which the whole people participate, a war in which the interests of the whole people are concerned, a war in which new business ideas and methods are used against obsolete and traditional, and an all-round war in which industrial production capacity, economic strength, and political mobilization are contested.

Although it is not yet possible to talk about winning a war with steel, firepower and equipment will become the key factors that determine victory or defeat, which will make the war more controllable and less accidental, which is in line with the psychology and thinking of Zhu Yongxing's modern people. Of course, the art of strategy and war is not unnecessary, but Zhu Yongxing hopes to press the enemy with a force of 10,000 catties, and everyone who deserves it will be crushed. The enemy is aware of the Ming army's regulations for fighting, and he is powerless.

Dignified and upright, the enemy will fight, the city will be attacked, the logistics are supported, with super firepower, sophisticated equipment training, the momentum of the lion fighting the rabbit, who in the world can be the opponent.

"Your Highness." Long Er hugged Zhu Yongxing's arm, blew into his ear, and said coquettishly: "There is a lack of a big mirror in my sister's room, it is a fairy like a sinking fish and a goose, and there is no big mirror to look at, doesn't Your Highness feel a pity?" ”

Mengzhu glanced at Long'er, pursed her lips and smiled silently. Zhu Yongxing naturally knew that this was Long'er's greed, and he used the dream bead to ask for it.

"The next batch may be more numerous." Zhu Yongxing smiled slightly, pinched Long'er's buttocks with his hand, and said, "If you like it, then leave it in the house!" ”

There is no need to set a too strict example like an ascetic, Zhu Yongxing's current words and deeds are already very good, which makes his subordinate officials very admirable. Don't accumulate kabuki, don't recruit palace people, don't build mansions, don't be greedy for money, don't be extravagant, according to Zhu Yongxing's identity, if he is thrifty like a common man, it will cause criticism from his subordinates, and he will be suspected of being pretentious.

Mengzhu and Long'er not only use their mother's money to supplement their families, but they are also very low-key, and they don't all think about themselves and think about themselves. It's just a mirror, Zhu Yongxing hopes to do more for them, make them happy and happy, and make him feel more at ease. (To be continued......)
