Chapter 229: Can't Cure Yang Feng Can't Cure You?
Regarding Yang Feng's contracting plan, Lao Zhu agreed very happily. Iron
That's a good thing.
He actually really didn't want to maintain the garrison of the Huiningdu Command Envoy anymore......
Of course, not to say revocation.
Instead, the Ningdu Command Envoy and Huiningwei moved to Longquan Mansion, and Longquanwei was in Longquanfu City, that is, Hunchun, so both Huiningwei and Huiningdu Command Envoy could be moved to Qingjin, so that the transportation would be convenient and could be all by sea. Originally, Huining's side gave Huiningwei the Wudiha thousand households, and divided them into guards, which were still subordinate to Huiningdu's command envoys, and allowed them to trade in Jilin City.
As for the Ming army, just go to Jilin.
There is a wooden track leading to Jilin, and the transportation to Jilin is stable in the future.
And Jilin is closer to the south after all, especially in the south has been able to form a stable agriculture, at present, the military shops, post stations, and road guards along the wooden track are all reclamation and farming, after all, Yehe can also maintain a certain amount of agriculture in this area. Then maintain a naval army there, and the entire Songhua River basin can be guaranteed to control, not to mention that there is also Yang Feng's reclamation area to suppress. Iron
The point is that there is no need for a sustained strategy.
In the short term, there is no possibility that the remnants will return to the east.
But Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about the westward expedition.
After all, after the battle of Annam, there was no major war in the Ming army, and the northern armies have actually not had a major war in recent years.
He is the commander of this western expedition......
Zhu Di?
But Zhu Yunxi disagreed. Iron
And there is nothing else that can be assured.
You can't let Lanyu get on, right?
The rest of the generals do not have this kind of strategic-level expeditionary ability, as for Zhu Di's current identity, there is no hindrance, because it will take at least a whole year for Ma and the East Ocean, during this period, Zhu Di has nothing to do, just waiting in Fusang, and he can be drawn to engage in a westward expedition, in short, Zhu Yuanzhang has been planning at present.
If he can win a big victory this time, then Remnant Yuan Zhen can only be driven to Central Asia.
In this way, the Ming army was stationed in Jilin, controlled the Songhua River with a naval army, and then continued to keep the farthest but easier to supply along the coast. Longquan Mansion also has the water transportation of the Mudanjiang River, which is actually the control of the three points of the upper reaches of the Songhua River, the middle reach, and the estuary.
Bases at all three points can be resupplied with a steady rear.
Two seas and one wooden rail. Iron
So the control is not weakened.
Costs have dropped dramatically.
After all, Huining is really inferior to Fuso.
The imperial court does not need to invest in Fusang.
Not only does there be no need to invest, but in Fusang, you can even rely on taxation to meet the needs of the garrison, after all, those toasts have to pay taxes, and the tax rate set is far higher than that of the southwest toast, for example, even if the top toast like the Shuixian family is only 2,000 stone a year, but Fusang's side alone has to pay 20,000 stone of rice to Daming every year.
He is not the highest yet.
The highest is the Ashina family in Aizu, which requires 30,000 koku to be paid every year. Iron
This is all given by Yang Feng.
Zhu Yuanzhang was pleasantly surprised by this.
He didn't expect that Fusang was still a high-quality rice field area.
The annual tax is actually higher than that of Yunnan.
Yunnan 120,000 stone a year, Fusang levied 150,000 stone last year, Yunnan Tusi is reluctant to pay a tax, so far because Tusi is unwilling to pay taxes, is still being collected. But the toasts of Fusang are directly enthusiastic to pay taxes, and last year's autumn grain was sifted clean, not even sand, and they were the fullest. So much so that when the officials who went to inspect Fusang came back, they were moved to say that the obedience of the Japanese people crowned the world, and it was obvious that he enjoyed the happiness of the Ameritan king's teacher there.
Including Zhu Di is also very satisfied with them, the Ming army built cities and built roads there before, basically these Tusi people.
Eat less than chickens and dry more than dogs. Iron
The obedient is touching.
This makes it even more peaceful.
But if Yang Feng is willing to contract, then Zhu Yuanzhang is of course willing to keep it.
In the final analysis, he still likes to let more people move over, and he is of course willing to pay for him to maintain the cost, as for Yang Feng's development there, he doesn't need to care, Yang Feng's development is also on his land.
In this way, Ambassador Yang won another money-losing goods.
And the little princess continued to resent.
Now what Yang Feng has won is basically losing money, and a Shanxi is still investing, at least in the short term, it will lose money, and it will lose millions of dollars a year. In fact, now that Shanxi has begun to collect taxes, a tax police team recruited by Yang Feng himself has been stationed in Taiyuan, and then took his tax form and cooperated with the bank to collect taxes on Taiyuan's industry and commerce. Iron
At the same time, tax police teams in other places have also begun to be formed.
But even if you want to collect 2.8 million taels a year in Shanxi in such a short period of time, it is impossible, not to mention the maintenance of the tax police team, which also requires a lot of investment.
Huining reclamation is a loss of money, and the development of Shuofang Mansion is also a loss of money.
It has also been unfolded there.
The previous leaders and commanders were all hired by Yang Feng, and then they each took their families to the north.
Everything was according to the model of Huining, with Yang Feng's other recruited reclamation workers, in Shuofang Mansion to select a place to open up wasteland and farm, the King of Jin set aside a piece of Yang Feng's own selection to contract to him, and Yang Feng gave the Jin Wangfu a contract fee every year. But for now, at least, it is still in the stage of pure input, and even if the conditions are better there than in Huining, the first grain will not be harvested until this autumn.
And it won't be much. Iron
So now everything that is eaten there needs Yang Feng to pay for transportation by himself.
Pure loss of money.
Making money, of course.
It's the banks and industries in the capital, but the banks can't really make a lot of money......
It's not very profitable, at least for now.
This kind of bank itself is not for profit, its existence is the greatest value, but the problem is that this value is for the country, or for her father, purely from Yang Feng's point of view, it is actually a maintenance. In the end, the real money, that is, Wutaishan Industrial Park, it can be said that those factories are Yang Feng's biggest source of income, but the problem is that there is no patent protection in Daming, so except for some of the ones that do have a technology monopoly, other relatively low-end ones have begun to appear imitations. It is true that no one has been able to make mirrors, but there have been a large number of knock-offs in glass products, after all, burning glass itself is not a high-end technology, and Yanshen originally had a government-run glass factory.
It's just that they used to supply glass as jewelry, that is, to get some colorful glass products to supply the palace. Iron
But the technology is fine.
There are a large number of craftsmen who are skilled in this field.
So it's not a big deal to burn glass.
In the end, the income of these factories is increasingly unable to cope with Yang Feng's various inputs, and he must continue to develop new projects, such as the self-striking bell has been manufactured, in short, he also has to worry about his own life beyond his means, and lead the technological progress of Daming.
Of course, it's just a theoretical way to make ends meet.
In fact, because of the bank in hand, coupled with Yang Feng's golden signboard, it can be solved through various methods such as stock raising and bonds, including direct loans from banks......
Can't you take a loan from your own bank for your own reclamation company? Iron
Anyway, there is Zhu Yuanzhang in the background.
The cash flow is not enough to find him, anyway, he takes advantage of the main advantage of the bank.
In short, Yang Feng is letting the people of Daming feel the shamelessness of the capitalists in advance.
Just when Yang Feng finally ended his manic period that lasted for more than half a year, returned to his normal state, continued to play the role of a friendly envoy on Wutai Mountain, and expanded the scale of the industry, the case of fraud in the imperial examination was also completed through torture under the trial of Song Zhong, the commander of Jinyiwei. Zhang Xin and the others are hard-boned, and they didn't confess to others, maybe they really don't know about this, after all, this kind of thing, Liu Sanwu can do it alone. Among them, except for Bai Xinzhu who is the deputy examiner, Zhang Xin and the others were actually found by Zhu Yuanzhang and prepared to let them re-read the papers, but they didn't expect that they would advance and retreat together with Liu Sanwu, and even joined the ranks of using the emperor as a monkey without hesitation.
So it's likely that they're just too simple.
But in any case, if they dare to be disloyal, they will inevitably die.
In the end, Zhang Xin, Bai Xinzhu and others were directly ordered by the emperor to Ling Chi...... Iron
What a disloyalty!
This is already a great reversal.
Not only to Ling Chi, but also to raze the three clans, in short, His Majesty the Emperor in his twilight years, once again raised his sword, telling the world, as long as he does not die for a day, you will have to kneel for me after all.
Or Lao Tzu can't cure Yang Feng and can't cure you?
"Why is this going on!"
Ambassador Yang looked at Zhang Xin and the others who were being Ling Chi and sighed with emotion.
However, the distance is relatively far, so I can only see the red figures, and I don't even have the slightest sense of horror when I look at it, which is a lot less than the original history of killing, mainly because in the original history, there were also many new science and technology scholars such as Liu Sanwu, because at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already finished the test for their palace, and sealed Hanlin, so let them re-read the paper together. Iron
But......
Except for a few, including the champion, they still haven't won the northern lift.
Zhu Yuanzhang was finally completely enraged.
The poor champion had only been doing it for a few days, and he was taken to the court.
"Now you and the imperial grandson have become completely bad people in the eyes of the Jiangnan gentry."
The little princess said.
"What, they don't deposit anymore?" Iron
Yang Feng said.
"How is that possible, it's one thing to treat you as a bad person, it's another thing to eat interest on deposits, it's not a child anymore, how can you be angry with money, my father doesn't allow them to lend usury, and there are many restrictions on doing business, is there anything more secure besides letting the bank eat interest?"
The little princess said.
Zhu Yuanzhang completely banned usury.
After all, this is tantamount to robbing him of business, and private loans either go to the bank or at the same interest rate as the bank.
And the bank loan is very loose, mainly because I am not afraid of not being able to repay it......
Under the current strict hukou system, unless you want to leave your hometown as a runaway, and then find a mountain forest to get into, and be in it for generations to be with tigers and wolves, you will still have to face the bank after all. This is not Yang Feng's own, the big boss is the emperor, you owe him a debt and still want to run, the world is his, where can you run, the household department directly writes everywhere, but anyone who runs away in debt will be arrested and escorted back as a fugitive. Iron
You must know that the household department now spends money, and many times it also has to borrow from the bank.
It's all family.
Even the cost of chasing the fugitive does not need to be borne by the bank.
So instead of trying to run, it's better to think about how to pay back.
If you really don't have any money, you will collect collateral.
At present, most farmers in the Ming Dynasty can mortgage their fields.
Not enough fields? Iron
Hmmm, you still have a daughter?
Give your daughter to the bank!
There is a shortage of female workers in Wutaishan Industrial Park, and there is a shortage of wives in Huining, in short, give your daughter to the bank, and our accounts will be cleared.
What, you don't have a daughter?
Sons can do the same.
Singles?
Ha, can a single person stump a greedy capitalist? Iron
You just have to pay for it yourself.
Go to the reclamation team in Huining, except for eating and drinking, all wages are from the bank, and you will continue to calculate interest, and you will also add liquidated damages, in short, when you will deduct the loan and interest liquidated damages from your salary, you can be considered to regain your freedom, even if you have to work until eighty, then you have to pay off to the bank one by one.
Don't try to use your meagre knowledge to provoke Ambassador Young's 600 years of exploitative experience.
Modern banks can't collect violently, Ambassador Yang can let Jinyiwei come to collect do you believe it or not?
In modern times, you are most dishonest and listed as a dishonest person, and Ambassador Yang can make you have no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground.
Therefore, those usury in various places have been tossed by the banks enough, anyway, it is difficult to have their markets in major cities and their surroundings, but when they go down to small counties and rural areas, they will have to face the problem of collection. After all, they don't have the ability to let Jinyiwei come to collect money, let alone catch other people's daughters to pay debts, and if it is not for the local clan, if they dare to collect debts, they may be beaten out, and it can be said that the risk of lending is very high. And the interest is fixed to death, Zhu Yuanzhang's law is illegal usury, and does not recognize the legitimacy of the IOU, that is to say, if the interest is higher than the bank, the borrower can not pay it back at all.
IOUs are illegal, which means that there is no such thing, so why should you pay it back if you borrow it with your ability? Iron
Therefore, those who have a large amount of treasure money in their hands, do not dare to rely on usury to make money, doing business in these years is dangerous and restrictive, and the profits are limited.
So it's one thing for the Jiangnan gentry to grit their teeth and scold Yang Feng, but it's another thing when it comes to money, everyone is an adult and it's not so naïve, but this is also the reason why they prefer Zhu Yunwen, because Zhu Yunxi succeeds to the throne, then this system will continue, but Zhu Yunwen will overthrow it.
Open up the banking sector.
After all, Zhu Yunwen has a bad relationship with Yang Feng, although he may not have the courage to deal with Yang Feng after succeeding to the throne, but it is inevitable to cancel his various privileges economically.
Once these privileges are abolished, then the Jiangnan gentry will also usher in their spring, and they can start the carnival of capital to their heart's content.
