Chapter 174: The Beginning Shocked Lao Zhu for 800 Years (24)
After leaving Qu Jiena, Zhu Biao and his mother negotiated privately for a few days, and the two of them were busy with their own affairs on the premise of upholding the current political pattern unchanged.
Zhu Biao's main focus was on promoting the development of industry and agriculture.
For example, the issuance of edicts.
Whether it is a Ming person or an overseas person, as long as they offer new food crops that the Ming Dynasty does not have, they can get ten thousand taels of silver and a non-hereditary earldom.
For example, summon the master craftsman, write and draw the knowledge that Qu Jie directly engraved into his memory, and hand it over to the master craftsman, so that they can improve the iron-making and steel-making technology.
Improving ordnance, making farm implements, and more.
In addition, what is the selection of excellent seeds from all over the world for cross-breeding, trying to make simple fertilizers, firing of cement glass, manufacturing and selling honeycomb coal......
In short, all the industrial and agricultural reforms that are not difficult, but lack an idea, or can start now, have all been promoted one after another.
Queen Ma started from the textile industry, using the technology taught by Qu Jie to improve the textile machine, purchasing wool and cashmere, manufacturing woolen cashmere coats, and then logically expanding production, recruiting female workers, and selling them to the outside world.
And on this basis, it has also made a series of money-making transactions such as soap, soap, perfume, various skin care products, cosmetics, costume jewelry, etc., making a lot of money.
Whether it is for individuals or for the country, it is difficult to move an inch without money, so the early goal set by Qu Jie for them is mainly to make money, and use the money earned to continue to expand production at the same time, along with the reform and progress of industry and agriculture, talent training and so on.
Industrial development and talent training cost money.
In terms of industrial development, Qu Jie can spend less money by giving them a hanging, but the money for talent training cannot be saved, and many things cannot be done without money.
So it's really not in a hurry.
