Chapter 50 The Formation of the War Industry

He Xi created *** and highly recognized He Xi's changes, because they relied on He Xi's new law to make money.

In any case, it is impossible to want to revert to the old law.

The new law enacted by He Xi is essentially conducive to doing business. In modern parlance, it's about creating a level playing field. But the problem is that the environment is fair, and the victory or defeat in the mall is fair.

The merchants in Beijing, not to mention the new law, have already set up factories and have a large number of cheap products in their hands. is the lack of market, which is the rest of the Ming Dynasty, and it can never be compared.

A fair business environment is tantamount to allowing them to invade and occupy the local market share. What was originally monopolized and seized by local tycoons with power has become what they obtained by commercial means.

That's why he dared to introduce the new law to all parts of the country.

This is a powerful political force.

However, the stubborn local forces in the south are still a headache.

Zhu Yuanzhang emigrated at the beginning, and the number of southerners was not too much. Now he is going to do it again, in order to consolidate the frontier, and move all those local heroes to Annam, and even the new occupation areas further south.

In order to block the mouth of the world, their land is given ten times as much in the south, which is not a problem.

After all, these places have left their hometowns and territories, and what they have lost is never just land. There are many other rights.

If these people are unwilling, they will naturally have the name to deal with it, against the state order. It is justified to be confiscated from home.

This is also the ancient wisdom of the Chinese. Since Qin Shi Huang migrated the nobles of the Six Kingdoms to Xianyang, it has been repeatedly copied by later generations, and He Xi naturally followed the cat and the tiger.

Therefore, He Xi does not want to stop this war.

Although it is said that there is still room for immigration in the Northeast. But migrating southerners to the northeast is like a distribution no matter how you look at it. Now, there will be a lot of resistance. This is not what He Xi wanted.

After all, increasing the Han population in the newly occupied areas is also a very important thing for He Xi. After all, the territory is temporary, and the population is permanent.

As long as there are Han people growing and multiplying in these places, these lands will always be Ming's. is Chinese.

These people are inside the Ming Dynasty and are the problem. But in these places in the South Seas, it is a resource.

He Xi hoped that these people would go smoothly to various parts of Nanyang. After all, there are a lot of people who have gone to sea over the years, so there is no need to do anything. In fact, many people also know that Nanyang is not a barren land, and it is not inevitable that you will die if you go overseas.

But the bitter cold land of the north is indeed not something that southerners can fight.

There are still fewer people who go to the South Seas to fight.

In addition, it was He Xi who found that the impact of the war on the economy was too great.

Not bad. It's good.

In order to make He Xi support the war, Zhang Ming handed over all the gold and silver of Annan, which was not much. There are only 100,000 taels of gold and more than 300,000 taels of silver. But in He Xi's hands, these gold and silver were enough to issue fifteen million taels of banknotes.

This huge sum of money alone is enough to offset military spending.

Not to mention, Annan is a little bit of a benefit.

No. The land population of Annam has a variety of resources, which are incalculable benefits. Some of these can be discounted directly, and some will be a steady stream of benefits. For example, grain. With Annan, the Ming Dynasty will have another grain producing land.

Although it is said that after He Xi conquered Nanjing, the restrictions on food have been lifted.

There is no need to pay a lot of money every year to keep food prices down. But when He Xi was in Beijing, he always had the fear of food shortages. After all, Beijing is a place where there is everything, but the grain is really not high-yielding.

This is not counting how many industries the Ming Dynasty has pulled into the war. How much more commercial tax was collected.

He Xi made a plan in all aspects, and he didn't lose money when he hit Annan. It even made a lot of money.

This made He Xi deeply understand why the military industry is a special commodity. Before the Civil War, why would

There are so many deficits, it is because it is a civil war, and after He Xi conquered Nanjing, although he had some scrapes against Nanjing. But in fact, the attack was not heavy, and only the property of the Nanjing court was confiscated. For other private properties, there is no movement at all.

Now it is different when it comes to Annan.

It's not that He Xi underestimated the small court of Annan, so he didn't talk about the gold, just talking about the silver, more than three million taels, even if the court of Annan was sold, there would not be so much money, if there was really so much money, I didn't know how bad it was. Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man's truth.

It's right everywhere.

This money is naturally contributed by the local heroes of Annam, and even the temples and so on.

Under capitalism, war is a special business. That's how it is now. The traditional agricultural society is not good, it is entirely about the consumption of war and the ability to realize the spoils of war.

This war consumption does not refer to the absolute value of the overall war consumption.

In fact, there is no doubt that the war of industrial societies is consumed over that of agricultural societies. The relative value of the word here. That is, the ratio of war consumption to the wealth of the whole society. The consumption of war in an agricultural society was too great for the consumption of social wealth at that time. As the war drags on, there will be people dying of starvation.

Industrial society is different, and the real war is of course very costly. But as long as it is not a long war, it is unlikely that people will starve to death. It is because the ratio of war consumption to the total wealth of society is decreasing. And the ability to monetize loot is not the same.

Gold and silver things, many people say that they are useless, they can't eat when they're hungry, and they can't wear clothes when they're cold, because in an agrarian society, gold and silver are wealth, but many times they are rich, and they can't be exchanged for materials.

This is no longer the case.

He Xi directly used gold and silver as collateral and printed more money, which is actually very low-grade. In later generations, the moment the war was won, the stock market had already completed the realization of the spoils of war.

He Xi hadn't felt this before, but now he really felt it. An economic model that makes money by fighting wars, and the more wars you fight, the more money you make.

Rather than honestly picking up the technology tree, light up the new technology little by little. To complete the upgrading of the industry, it is still a quick time to make money from colonial plunder.

Everyone is scolding imperialism, and everyone wants to be imperialism.

He Xi could not avoid this temptation.

Even He Xi felt that if he conquered the Indochina Peninsula during his term of office and snatched the wealth of Burma, Siam, Champa and Chenla, He Xi would not have to worry about the financial deficit of the Ming court.

For all these reasons, He Xi finally decided to let go of the fight.

Anyway, when He Xi was developing industry in Beijing, there were some deformities. Take the military industry first. After the war, the military industry was naturally a little lonely, and now it is still in transformation, but now I have discovered that the military industry is not unprofitable.

Rather, it is necessary to peddle the special business of war in order to make money.

Now Zhu Xiongying is talking about this matter.

He Xi couldn't refuse. Not to mention, this is also a great thing for He Xi. Just say that He Xi refused. What should I do if Zhu Xiongying misjudges?

Although the Ming Dynasty is now the real Ming imperialism. It made He Xi a little uneasy. But he still didn't want to ruin the Ming Dynasty.

He Xi said, "Thank Your Majesty Longen, the minister will be ashamed."

Zhu Xiongying said, "Okay, uncle, my second son has also been entrusted to my uncle's care."

Zhu Xiongying's second son was also born. Zhu Xiongying also said this conveniently. He arranged for his second son to He Xi, just to prepare for the second son to go to Tianzhu to settle the domain. On the one hand, there are not many good places in the world, and Tianzhu is much better than some overseas desert islands.

On the other hand, it is impossible for this large area of Tianzhu to be given to He Xi, and arranging the second child can be regarded as a check and balance.

Of course, it's not a check and balance. He Xi has no one to check and balance in Daming, and even more so when he goes to Tianzhu, he is the second and third generations of the He family.

After all, people are meant to die.

But fiefdoms are passed down from generation to generation.

In the end, it can be regarded as the signboard that the He family and the Zhu family monarchs wanted.

There is also a backup of Zhu Xiongying's own bloodline.

What will the world look like in the future? Zhu Xiongying is sometimes very confused.

You don't have to look at He Xi to give those futures. Zhu Xiongying knows that the future has completely changed.

With the political and economic logic of the Ming Dynasty today. It will definitely fall into infinite expansion until it takes over the world, but what happens after it takes over the world?

Zhu Xiongying doesn't think that the world is unified and the world is peaceful.

Zhu Xiongying feels that this is even more dangerous than when he was expanding abroad.

It is estimated that the likelihood of internal scuffle is very high.

And the Central Plains is the center, and it is likely to be the worst place to fight, you don't see, what did World War I and World War II make the Central Plains look like.

Is the Ming Emperor really easy to do?

Zhu Xiongying sometimes thinks about this problem, after all, He Xi's abandonment of imperial power reassures Zhu Xiongying on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also makes Zhu Xiongying secretly suspect that Emperor Ming will probably not end well in the future.

Zhu Xiongying's feeling is very unreasonable, and it can be regarded as his superstition about He Xi.

Zhu Xiongying knows one thing very well, that is, He Xi will take too many things with him when he leaves the Central Plains. Not to mention, He Xi is prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, not to mention that He Xi has a lot of talents. In the future, Tianzhu will definitely not be an opponent, and after occupying Tianzhu, with Tianzhu as the core, it will definitely be a strong foundation.

Even in the future, it is very likely to be one of the forces that threaten the Ming court.

The second faction will be the monarch of this force in the future. Even if it is not, it will occupy an important position in this force, and even if it is not, at least the bloodline can be passed on.

He Zhu Xiongying will not be extinct.

This is also the sequelae of Zhu Xiongying's many things in the future, that is, he sees too far and thinks too much.

He Xi just smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely arrange the Second Highness."
