Wu Dunyuan, Lu Jiguang, Pan Shaoguang and other thirteen merchants heard this.

looked at King Zhu Daming with a blank look.

As long as King Zhu Daming said a word, the merchants of the thirteen lines would rush to Zhu Ming to be the comprador of this imperial merchant.

Is there collusion between officials and businessmen?

This has been the case since ancient times.

This imperial merchant is actually kneeling to give money to the emperor and officials.

That's it, how many people want to kneel but can't kneel.

However, Zhu Mingwang obviously has his own ideas about business.

The collusion between officials and businessmen in the Qing Dynasty was basically that the court treated merchants as fat pigs, and they fattened one or two.

The tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty is equivalent to more than 10 million pounds, and the current fiscal revenue of the British Empire is almost 100 million pounds.

However, although there were frequent wars on the side of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing court was very proficient, and they could maintain the financial balance by slaughtering fat pigs.

The British Empire, on the other hand, had a revenue of nearly 100 million pounds, but it was heavily indebted in successive foreign wars.

Both countries are colluding with officials and businessmen.

The difference lies in whether officials are the main ones or business-oriented.

Boss Zhu didn't answer the words of this imperial businessman, but turned his head and asked Wu Dunyuan.

"Loyalty, what are the main commodities of the export trade here in Guangdong?"

"It is mainly porcelain from Foshan, tea from northeast Guangdong, eastern Guangdong, and southern Fujian, as well as raw silk from the south of the Yangtze River." Wu Dunyuan said,

"Can you still buy raw silk from Jiangnan now?"

"How not? As long as there is still a mouthful of trade, the raw silk in the south of the Yangtze River can only be sold to our Guangdong. ”

"Otherwise, how to solve the food and clothing of the tens of millions of mulberry and silkworm people in the south of the Yangtze River?"

Wu Dunyuan's voice fell, and Zhu Daohua nodded.

The previous trade model.

Jiangnan is the upstream of the industrial chain, planting mulberry and silkworms, making raw silk, and then selling it to merchants in Guangdong, and exporting it overseas through Western merchants.

"However, now that the Guangzhou port has belonged to the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Qing Dynasty should open ports for foreign trade in Fujian, Songjiang and other places." Lu Jiguang said.

"If this king doesn't let them open, they won't be able to open it!"

Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said.

The Strait of Malacca blocks Western merchants to the west of the Strait of Malacca.

The raw silk used for export in Jiangnan can only be sold to Guangdong.

Otherwise, the peasant landlords in the south of the Yangtze River who planted mulberry and silkworms would have to go bankrupt.

Guangdong and Jiangnan were the two money bags of the Qing court.

Guangdong is lost, if Jiangnan is chaotic again.

The Qing Dynasty could not afford it.

"In addition to porcelain, tea, and raw silk, are there any other industries that are competitive in the international market?"

Zhu Daohua asked.

The merchants looked at each other.

Finally, they shook their heads.

"Your Majesty, in the past two or three hundred years, our China has exported only these industries, what other industries can be done?"

"That's not going to work." Zhu Daohua shook his head again and again.

"Although the porcelain, tea, and raw silk are good, if you rely on these industries alone, you can't absorb too many employed people."

"Employed population?"

Everyone present was stunned by King Zhu Ming's out-of-the-box thinking.

Didn't you ask what kind of business to make money?

How did it transfer to what employed population?

For King Zhu Ming.

How much money can be made by an industry is secondary, the key is how many industrial workers can be transformed into this industry.

After all, employment is the top priority for the government.

The 18 million people in Guangdong are 18 million mouths waiting to be fed.

Historically.

The battle between the two Guangzhou, which has lasted for more than 200 years, is the embodiment of the extreme sharpness of the contradiction between man and land.

If Zhu Mingwang does not absorb the employed population through the development of industry.

The 18 million people in Guangdong, and the 40,000 people in China in the future, will once again fall under the spell of that terrible cycle of chaos.

Therefore, one of the goals of developing large-scale industry is to absorb a large number of people to become industrial workers, liberate the population from the land, and resolve the current acute contradiction between man and land.

"Yes, this Cantonese is densely packed, or... The entire Han Dynasty, including Liangguang, Jiangnan, and the Central Plains, is densely populated and narrow, and the per capita cultivated land is even less than three acres. Zhu Daohua shook his head and said.

"What the king said is that even now... The people here are also yellow-faced and thin-skinned, and most of them are just barely hungry. ”

"Three points full, seven points hungry. If this were not the case, why would we Cantonese people risk killing our heads to go to Nanyang to risk death to make a living. ”

Zhu Daohua said this.

Luo Fangbo and others were quite touched.

This went to Nanyang to make a living.

But it's all forced.

If you can have food and clothing in your hometown, who is willing to risk their lives to go to the South Seas.

"Therefore, if we want to solve this problem, we can only start through two aspects, the first is colonization, transfer too much population out, to occupy the world's good land with few people and fertile land, you will all be the meritorious dignitaries of the new Ming Dynasty in the future, if the country is full of hungry people, you are afraid that this noble will not be stable."

Zhu Daohua's voice fell, and everyone present nodded again and again.

"But if you want to colonize, you must have strength, and where is the embodiment of strength? In this day and age, I think it's big industry! Industrialization, industrial and commercial prosperity. Only when the government has money and the army has good equipment can the market prosper, can it afford to raise more troops, open up more colonies, and at the same time attract more people into the industrial and commercial industries and relieve the pressure on arable land. ”

Zhu Daohua crossed his fingers and said: "In the future, Guangdong will focus on the development of steel, shipbuilding, shipping, mineral mining, tea, silk weaving, sugar, and pharmaceuticals!" ”

To put it bluntly, most of these ten major industries are related to exports.

At present, Guangdong's industry and commerce are export-oriented economies that rely on exports.

Relying on exports to drive industry and commerce, exporting porcelain, tea, silk, and importing silver and precious metals.

However, under the rule of the Qing Dynasty.

Industry and commerce are the last business.

Import and export trade is strictly restricted.

Merchants were not allowed to go to sea to trade, and they were not allowed to make large ships with more than two masts, and the so-called Thirteen Lines were not traders who went to sea, but only acted as agents between foreign merchants and the emperors and nobles of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, that is, compradors.

"These ten major industries will all receive policy support from the Ming Palace, including factory construction, recruitment, preferential export tariffs, technical support, etc."

Zhu Daohua looked at several merchants of the Thirteen Lines and smiled.

"This industry and commerce, to put it bluntly, is to have an industry, such as sugar production, upstream to plant sugarcane, middlemen to buy sugarcane, and then to squeeze white sugar to produce finished products, and then to export circulation, this is an industrial chain, in this industrial chain, sugarcane plantations, distributors, sugar factories, exporters, and the workers employed in it can make a living in this industrial chain, and during the period will also promote the development of logistics, shipping, shipbuilding and other industries. The imperial court can also obtain tax revenue from it, and it can absorb a large number of people to relieve the pressure on land, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone. ”

Zhu Daohua's words made the merchants present look excited.

This is a process of establishing an industry, and the employment and tax revenue that can be driven by the establishment of an industrial chain are considerable.

White sugar has always been Guangdong's dominant industry, but in recent years, due to the sea ban policy, the sugar industry has shrunk significantly, and the only remaining sugar industry has been monopolized by imperial businessmen and officials from the north to supply the domestic market.

"Wang, among the ten major industries you mentioned, the other nine industries in Guangdong can be developed, and they all have a certain foundation. But this pharmaceutical... We don't want to produce much medicine in Guangdong, right? ”

"Yes, if you want to say that this Chinese herbal medicine is still good in Fujian and Yunnan."

A group of merchants danced and talked about it.

made Gu Song, Qian Heng and other Confucian students sitting in the other row look a little unsightly.

The king of a country.

At such an important meeting, I went to discuss with a group of businessmen how to make money...

It's some... It's not quite like words.

But he didn't dare to interrupt the discussion between King Zhu Ming and the merchants.

After all, the situation of the new Ming Dynasty was opened by King Zhu Ming, and the majesty of the founding army is still there.

"I'm afraid you don't know, when this king was in Europe, he was a famous doctor in Europe, and he still knew a little bit about this medicine."

A little understanding is, of course, modesty.

If Boss Zhu is willing, penicillin can be made for you.

But what Boss Zhu is doing now is not penicillin.

It's allicin.

Allicin is also a broad-spectrum bactericide.

The greatest difficulty in colonizing the South Seas was malaria, gastroenteritis, dysentery and other diseases caused by the climate and sanitary conditions of the South Seas.

In the era of lack of fungicides.

These pathologies were enough to kill more than half of the colonists.

Actually, don't look at Europeans so comfortable in modern times.

In fact, people also risked their lives to colonize.

Allicin, a fungicide, can greatly reduce the death caused by these bacterial infections!

It's definitely a miracle medicine of this era.

Boss Zhu plans to produce this medicine on a large scale, first make the reputation of the Guangdong pharmaceutical industry out, and then continue to expand the product line, expand production, and monopolize the world's pharmaceutical industry.

There is his signature as the greatest doctor of the century.

These real life-saving drugs are absolutely popular all over the world.

"Everyone, please see, this is the medicine refined by this king, and it can be regarded as a cure for all diseases."

Zhu Daohua distributed the allicin packed in a porcelain bottle in his hand to everyone.

Allicin, a broad-spectrum fungicide, can indeed be called a cure-all in this era.

"You can take it back and see the effect, whether it is a cold patient, dysentery, or malaria, you can get rapid treatment."

"And the kind of medicine?"

"And how much should this cost?"

"What's this medicine called?"

The crowd was amazed.

"It's called... King Ming continues to live water. Zhu Daohua smiled.

Life-sustaining water, can I buy a few more bottles?

And it was made by King Ming, but whoever was saved by this medicine must thank King Ming for his great kindness?

"With this kind of fist product, Guangdong's pharmaceutical industry has a lot to offer!"

Allicin must be produced on a large scale.

Otherwise, the establishment of a semi-militarized plantation in the South Seas would be a matter of human life.

King Zhu Ming is a doctor after all.

He couldn't be so ruthless.

Instead, there is allicin.

It is not too dangerous to go to the South Seas to make a living and build a plantation.

In this way, the cost of large-scale colonization will be minimized. Read the full content on the iRead app

"Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to gain a foothold in the international market, you don't rely on the monopoly of imperial businessmen, but on the industry, a truly competitive industry!!"

"Only by establishing a competitive industrial chain and producing competitive enough products can we go abroad and make a lot of money."

Zhu Daohua concluded.

He stood up.

"Ladies and gentlemen. This king is different from Qianlong, this king is a businessman, and the military expenses for the revival of the Ming Dynasty come from industry and commerce, so this king is not cheap industry and commerce, and this industry and commerce must also become the foundation of my Ming Dynasty. ”

As soon as this remark came out.

Gu Song, Zhao Wen, Xue Siyuan and the others all changed their faces slightly.

Since ancient times, it has been based on agriculture and industry and commerce.

Zhu Daohua turned his head to look at everyone.

"Agriculture and industry and commerce are not opposites, but they should be adapted to local conditions and promote each other, and if the population of Guangdong is dense and narrow, if industry and commerce are further suppressed and 18 million people are curled up in this mediocre land of Guangdong, this is a big bomb planted for future generations, and sooner or later it will explode."

Several Confucian scholars present looked at each other.

King Zhu Ming's words were obviously meant for them.

Zhao Wen wanted to speak and stopped.

"Yuan Jin, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhu Daohua called Zhao Wen the word and said with a smile.

Zhao Wen looked left and right, and said: "The king only said that industry and commerce can absorb the population and relieve the pressure on land, but the total amount of land remains the same, and industry and commerce, such as pharmaceuticals and sugar refining, will consume land to grow medicinal herbs and sugarcane. In this way, where does the food in the mouths of these tens of millions of Li people come from? ”

Hearing this, the Confucian scholars present nodded again and again.

It is not for nothing that Confucianism attaches great importance to agriculture.

Most of the civil strife in the past dynasties started from hungry people who did not have enough to eat.

Whether or not there is enough food has a bearing on whether the country is stable or not.

However, the current situation does not make much sense in Guangdong, where there is currently a surplus of labor.

Zhu Daohua thought of this, nodded and said, "What you are worried about is also the concern of this king. Therefore, it is all the more necessary to vigorously promote commerce and exchange the commodities of Guangdong for the grain needed by Guangdong. Rice can be harvested three times a year in the Nanyang Islands, and Annam, Siam and other places are the main rice producing areas, and their rice output is not inferior to Huguang, or even surpassed. ”

"The rice and grain that Guangdong needs can be obtained from the Nanyang trade."

"In addition, in the future, this king will set up a plantation in Nanyang with the health center as a unit, and produce rice, rubber, sugarcane and other materials according to local conditions, without worrying about the shortage of food."

Borneo and Java have almost hundreds of millions of people in later generations.

Such a small area can feed so many people, relying on the good local water and heat conditions, and can produce a large amount of rice.

So if Guangdong, which is next to the South Seas, is short of rice, it will really be a joke.

Speaking of which.

King Zhu Ming stood up.

"Moreover, the land of the South Seas, that is the area covered by the influence of my Ming army. If there is a shortage of rice in Guangdong, this king can personally raise the army, plunder the grain of the South Seas, and feed the people of Guangdong! ”

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.
