The centralized feudal dynasty has an advantage that it is upward and downward, and in the case of inconvenient transportation in ancient times, only this kind of centralization can maintain the unified territory and complete the great project beyond the times.

But this is only for the imperial court, for the common people of the feudal dynasty, any major projects and great achievements of the imperial court need to be poured with flesh and blood.

Zhu Yuanzhang would not ask the immigrant people whether they were willing to travel long distances and leave their hometowns.

He will only say that the population of many places is not enough, and Jiangxi has such a large population, so it is just possible to move some out, which is of great benefit to the imperial court.

So the great migration in the early Ming Dynasty began, and this process was all based on the emperor's will, and the officials below were crazy to transfer the people for the sake of political achievements.

As far as the emperor is concerned, he can't empathize with the common people, he has to consider whether this thing is good for the country, and if it is good, it will be promoted.

Historically, many agricultural tools and agricultural techniques have been popularized in this way, such as the promotion of Champa rice, which was strongly opposed by farmers at first.

They lack trust in new seeds, believing that the seeds that have been passed down are the most secure, and that they can give up any reason for the sake of stability.

Therefore, in the process of promotion in ancient times, there must be pressure from the government at the beginning, and as for whether it harms the people or not, in fact, the emperor does not care.

If Yan Zheng stands in this position, he will also choose to vigorously promote it, after all, for the whole, it is beneficial to do so.

Let them know that there is this thing, and they will slowly use it, and in this process, the court is only pushing a hand.

Therefore, after the will of Emperor Hongzhi spread throughout the southern provinces, it immediately attracted the attention of all local officials, and this achievement was easy to make, but it was too difficult to stand out.

The luckiest are Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi, all three of which can flow into some "Made in Dongqin", as long as there is a way, they can spend money to get high-quality and low-cost threshers.

But the rest of the provinces were not so lucky, and their magistrates took the drawings and began to imitate them.

The first to suffer were the artisans, the blacksmiths, who were directly conscripted at the behest of the government.

On the premise of only having food to eat, these blacksmiths continue to make parts for the government, and they will find that it is extremely difficult to grasp the various sizes.

Without a high-carbon file, they can only sharpen the gears little by little using the methods they know at hand.

Two people work hard for a month, if it is good, they can imitate one, and the quality of this machine is not good, the clearance between the bearings is very large, and the transmission device is not reliable, which is full of problems.

Naturally, the magistrates don't care, for them, just use it!

They will build a threshing machine, hard to sell, all kinds of small landlords take over first.

Some magistrates also took advantage of this opportunity to secretly make profits.

In the end, this matter has become a bitter move for the common people!

Of course, it also made the object of threshing machine into the eyes of many Ming people.

The people who come into contact with the imitation will naturally scold this as a kind of goods, which can play a very small role.

The people who come into contact with the genuine products have begun to enjoy the convenience it brings.

Judging from the dialectical evidence, the benefits can always account for half!

…………

Salt Harbor, in a wooden house made of wooden planks.

Li Ying, the Qiantang Water Division's thousand-household official, was dressed as an ordinary businessman at the moment, and he was doing things for his boss this time, and he came to Yangang on purpose.

He was holding one hundred and twenty-three tickets in his hand at the moment, and he was gritting his teeth and looking at the points table.

There was also Zhang Xi next to him, as well as a guy named Song Agui from the Song family.

The three of them looked at the points table, their expressions were all the same bewildered, why was Zheng Yan the number one!

In advance, this Zheng Yan said that he was from the Ryukyus, and he came here to buy a threshing machine.

The three of them believed this guy's nonsense for the time being, but on the points table, it was written that Zheng Yan's cumulative points of 2504.1 were what the hell?

You can get 2,500 people in one trip?

Don't say that these three people can't do it, even Yan Zheng can't believe it.

But now, the three had to believe it.

This Zheng Yan is smiling and fiddling with a thick pile of tickets, this ticket is not strange, that is, there is a threshing machine written on it, a handwritten number at the bottom, and then there is a seal of the Ministry of Commerce of Huaxia.

Exactly like the one in their hands, the three people who knew the rules of the transaction immediately began to play with their minds.

Soon, the three of them began to surround Zheng Yan, trying to buy some threshing tickets.

As a result, the trouble was unpleasant, and the three of them began a financial competition.

In the end, it was the Song family who bought more than 1,000 in one go! In an instant, he lifted himself to the top of the standings.

But when it was about to close, Li Ying suddenly made a move and bought hundreds of them from Zhang Xi, and instantly pulled down the Song family with a gap of more than a dozen.

This operation not only made Song Agui confused, but also made Zheng Yan confused.

And Li Ying is breezy and calm, as an official of a thousand households, he has still read the military book.

So this batch of 1,200 threshers, Li Ying carried away 600 units, the Song family carried away 300 units, Zhang Xi carried away 50 units, and Zheng Yan took 250 units.

……

After the transaction was over, the student, alias Zheng Yan, ran to the Yangang Guest House like crazy, looked at Yan Zheng and said, "Teacher, your trick is really amazing, we really used a non-existent thresher in exchange for money!" ”

Yan Zhengzheng was nestled in a chair, and this was his first inspection of Yangang since the founding of the People's Republic of China. In order to guide Yangang, establish a cement factory and wheel kiln, and take a group of students to practice one or two.

He raised his eyes and said, "It's nothing, you will see more peculiar things in the future, but not yet, when we really go out, you will find that things that don't exist are sometimes more valuable than things that exist!" ”

"Why is this happening?"

"Capital!" Yan Zheng looked at this student named Wang Guang and said: "This is a characteristic of capital, they don't buy things that don't exist with money, in fact, these things exist, but they haven't been produced yet!"

They pay for it in advance, which is equivalent to a reservation, which is equivalent to an investment! They believe that this will bring them higher returns! And we can take the money they pay in advance, and we can buy raw materials, increase workers and machines, and increase production capacity. ”

Wang Guang thought for a while and said, "What does the teacher mean is that these people bought the threshing machines that we will produce in the future in advance?" And by doing so, we will have more money to produce threshers! ”

Yan Zheng smiled faintly and said: "It's okay to understand it this way, but if they are not pursuing threshers, but pursuing the benefits of our factory, so they invest money in us and expect to have dividend returns in the future, will it be a good thing?" ”

Wang Guang nodded: "It's a good thing!" Because they also make a profit, and if they don't invest in us, they can't get any more money! ”

"Congratulations!" Yan Zheng praised: "Just now, you have understood the simple process of capital multiplication, we are just using this trick to make some money today, but after that, we will legislate, define and regulate this behavior in the form of law, and in the future, our people are qualified to invest in our enterprises, provided that these enterprises complete the restructuring!" ”

Wang Guang pondered it carefully and felt that if this was the case, then all the people would benefit.

Yan Zheng will not tell him that if there is such a day, the overseas market will be related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

This time, he used the thresher to operate one or two, and also took the opportunity to practice these students, teach them through practice, and let them understand that a new business model will emerge in the future.

Wang Guang asked a few more questions of concern, and Yan Zheng patiently answered.

After he had no more doubts, the teacher and student walked out of the guest house side by side.

"The rails are still useful!" Looking at the railroad tracks that had been laid for about twenty meters, Yan Zheng smiled and said.

Wang Guang also said: "Since you tried to do it in Mocheng, you will do it here!" The conditions here haven't changed, it's all flat land! ”

Yan Zheng nodded, approached and took a look, and said, "When the planned converters are built, this railway can be extended all the way to the bottom of Mocheng!" ”

In the distance, a designed wheel kiln and a cement plant are being built, and a barge in the harbor is unloading coal.

The construction of Huaxia is about to enter a stage of rapid change.
