In the blink of an eye, winter is coming.

Jingtai's twenty-three years have come to an end.

At the year-end court meeting, Geng Jiuchou personally made a year-end summary.

Daming has achieved no case of starvation death throughout the year, and the average annual fuel consumption per person has reached one or two! That is to say, 300 million people in the Ming Dynasty have eaten one or two oils in a year.

Those who did not starve to death and ate oil again were a particularly remarkable achievement.

The smallholder economy is something that can never be done.

The most striking thing is that the per capita consumption of one foot of cotton cloth.

It is equivalent to saying that the people of the Ming Dynasty can buy clothes to wear, instead of weaving clothes to wear, which is an upgrade of the concept of consumption, and it just shows that the people have money in their pockets.

It also benefited from lower cotton prices.

Since the beginning of this year, Daming has been planting cotton in the Western Regions.

The Western Regions have a tradition of planting cotton, from the Western Han Dynasty to plant cotton, and exported to the two Han Dynasty, after the Ming Dynasty controlled the Western Regions, it planned to make good use of the Western Regions, a large number of cotton planting.

The planting of cotton in the Western Regions naturally drove the Hu Department outside the Western Regions to follow the planting and export to the Ming Dynasty, and the cotton sold well in the mainland, and the price was lowered.

In addition to cotton from the Western Regions, the Ming Dynasty also cultivated cotton on a large scale in Baozhou and Luzon.

In order to starve the natives of Luzon, the Ming did not grow a grain of grain in Luzon, forcing the natives to grab food from wild beasts.

The Ming Dynasty was even more crazy about cutting down trees and carrying out an extermination policy against the natives, leaving no one, no slaves, and no women.

The food of the Ming people was all transported by boats.

Luzon is full of cotton fields, and immigrants used to sell cotton at high prices and buy grain at low prices, and their lives were very comfortable.

Baozhou Mansion is Huairou Sinicization on the one hand, while planting grain and cotton, killing and soothing the natives, guiding them to go down the mountain to plant and become Han people.

This year, Baozhou Prefecture has actually made a profit, from eating central relief grain, to being self-financing, and making a small profit.

Gao Ming has been in Baozhou for 12 years and has made great contributions.

Taking advantage of the trend of Baozhou, Fujian has also changed the original decline, planted with mulberry trees, mulberry orchards everywhere, large-scale production of raw silk, and several major raw silk giants have appeared.

Fujian does not plant a grain of grain, but all mulberry trees, becoming the largest raw silk base in the Ming Dynasty.

This is due to the food supply of the two lakes, which gave Fujian ten years to abandon its martial arts, abandon the original ecological model, and transform into a mulberry planting base.

Only then did we have today's Fujian silk and Fujian tea.

Guangdong and Zhejiang, too, have followed suit, giving up grain planting on a large scale and turning to planting mulberry trees, looking for porcelain kilns, and firing porcelain.

The center does not object to this, and if such a rich province is tied up in food production, it is really a waste of resources.

However, the center can support the transformation of one province at most, so Zhejiang first and then Guangdong, unless the two provinces can change half and half without changing.

What the emperor meant was that Guangdong and Zhejiang, there is no need to learn from Fujian to plant mulberry trees, they can develop in an all-round way, and they must make good use of their geographical advantages to develop high value-added industries.

It is imperative to carry out industrial reform in the inland provinces.

The central point is to transfer low-value-added industries to the border provinces, such as growing grain, to the Northeast, to Borneo, to Siam, and to the interior to develop high-value-added industries.

In this way, Da Ming would never dare to give up the frontier province for the sake of stomach problems.

Even, the emperor was still planning to implement a single industrial structure in the border provinces, so that they had to rely on the interior in order to survive.

Even if a rebel army occupies a province, it does not have a complete industrial chain, and it cannot be the king and hegemon.

"This year's treasury revenue has exceeded 90 million! Up to 91.26 million! ”

Geng Jiuchou's words shocked the ministers of the court.

"The province with the highest fiscal revenue is Jiangsu!"

"The top three are, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Nanzhili, and then Guangdong, Fujian, Beizhili, Jiaozhi, Guangxi, Shandong, and Shanxi."

"At the bottom of the rankings are Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Ningxia, Mongolia, Turkic, and Tatar."

Because Sichuan is too small and located inland, it is still preparing for war, if Chongqing Province is included, the complete Sichuan can be ranked in the top ten.

"The government that pays the most taxes is Shanghai."

"Then there are the Hong Kong government, the Suzhou government, the Hangzhou government and the Luzhou government."

"There is a premise for this year's income of so much fiscal and tax revenue, that is, not a single cent of agricultural tax will be confiscated."

"The cabinet has drawn up a will, Jingtai will stop collecting agricultural taxes in the twenty-fourth year, and commend and reward major grain-producing provinces, prefectures, and counties!"

Geng Jiuchou has been raising for a few years, and his health is getting better and better, and he has not gone to Sanya for the winter this year.

The courtiers were hotly discussed.

But Li Xian had a sad face, the more money the center collected, the more insecure he became, and he was always worried that if the commercial tax was cut off and the agricultural tax could not be collected, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty collapse?

There are many people who are as worried as him, such as Yao Kui, Shang Shi, Peng Shi, Li Bing and others.

"Gentlemen, please be quiet."

Yao Kui stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the old minister has advice." ”

"Yao Qing, please speak." Zhu Qiyu guessed what Yao Kui was going to say.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is honest, this old minister of business and taxation is empty in his heart, and he always feels that he can't step on the ground."

Yao Kui smiled bitterly: "Daming has always been a country that collects agricultural taxes, and although there are commercial taxes, they are only a drop in the bucket." ”

"Now that the center wants to abolish the agricultural tax, the old minister is worried, if the commercial tax does not come up, how can he live?"

Zhu Ying, who entered the cabinet, came out of class and saluted: "Yao Ge Lao, you are a little worried, how can you not collect the business tax?" ”

"Hmph, what virtues do you Zhu Shijie don't know? They evade taxes, can you say that they must not exist? ”

Yao Kui turned around to look at Li Bing: "Li Shangshu, tell me, how many tax evasion cases have you dealt with this year?" ”

"From 1721 onwards, this is still reported to the center, how many places will there be? It's estimated that there are too many, and I can't find many of them. "Li Bing is supporting Yao Kui.

"Listen, more than a thousand!"

"There are more I don't know, and even the center doesn't dare to check it."

"Now that the center is eating at those merchants, and the merchants have become the main force to support the center, will they seek political status?"

"Will you support who to become an official? Lao Chen thinks that it will definitely be, and people will want power when they have money. ”

"When these businessman supporters jump to the center, then the center is up to our gentlemen? Or is it the businessman who has the final say? ”

"Also, Daming only relies on commercial taxes, that is, walking on one leg."

"What if the leg is broken? Businessmen feel that they have not received enough benefits in Daming, so they turn around and support others? ”

"Does Da Ming have the ability to kill Shang Jia?"

"Now that the world is closely connected, they can completely transfer their assets to escape from Daming, the world is so big, where can Daming find a few businessmen?"

Yao Kui's rebuttal made Zhu Ying speechless.

"Yao Ge is right, Daming relies on commercial taxes, and he walks on one leg."

Li Xian interface: "The most stable walker is a four-legged beast, a person walks on two legs, and it is not as fast as a beast, if you walk on one leg, you can't walk a few steps, you have to fall." ”

"With the heavy merchant, the people have been swept by the style of merchants, and my traditional Chinese virtues are no longer there."

Li Xian said angrily: "Especially as the center attaches more and more importance to businessmen, then businessmen will inevitably use chicken feathers as arrows, make power among the people, and even seek political status." ”

"This year's income is this year, and the minister is happy."

"But in front of me, there is indeed an abyss, if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss, and the old minister is worried about the future."

Wang Fu, Li Bing, Shang Shi, Peng Shi, and Lin Cong all knelt on the ground: "The ministers all think that Yao Ge is old." Li Shoufu said this very much. ”

Lin Cong said loudly: "The old minister said a word of arrogance, when Your Majesty is here, you can still suppress the merchants, and when Your Majesty is gone, who will deter the merchants?" ”

More and more courtiers knelt down.

Zhu Qiyu's face sank like water: "Zhuqing got up first, who has a good way?" ”

They all shook their heads, there was nothing good to do.

"Is it possible to levy another agricultural tax?" A courtier asked.

Peng Shi immediately shook his head: "The agricultural tax is a drop in the bucket, and when it is collected at most, it is only more than 10 million, where can I collect 90 million?" With the current expenditure of the imperial court, more than 10 million is nothing, and the central government's annual expenditure in recent years has been more than 50 million. ”

The point is that it can't be collected.

Tax exemption has become a habit, and it has become an established fact.

"Wechen has a solution." Yu Zijun stood up and said.

"Say!"

Yu Zijun said: "The fact that businessmen can become bigger is the support of the center in the final analysis. ”

"If the center no longer supports the businessmen, but turns to the end of the business, and does business like the city, we will do monopoly business and make more money, and we will naturally be able to balance the private businessmen."

"The fiscal revenue has also increased, and the private businessmen will not be able to form a force and shake the central rule."

State-owned enterprises!

It turns out that there was a concept of state-owned enterprises in this era.

Shang Shi said: "Yu Shilang underestimated human greed, if the implementation of public enterprises, the capital is owned by the imperial court, then who will carefully dedicate to the public?" Not only will he not work hard for the court, but he will also dig out his mind to put money in his pocket, and when the time comes, he will lose money in addition to losses. ”

"That's right, people are not saints, especially the people at the bottom have not read the books of sages, and they only have private thoughts in their hearts, how can there be a court?"

Li Xian said seriously: "If you implement public enterprises, you will inevitably lose money everywhere. ”

"In order to turn losses into profits, the central government can only let go of the official system and let people from enterprises come in to be officials, but this will mess up the rule of officials."

"Except for a special position, Daming must be a jinshi to be an official."

"And after being admitted to the Jinshi, who will go to what company to take charge of? Even if they go, do they know how to do business? It's not a layman guiding an insider, and it ends up in a mess? ”

Li Xian sees human nature thoroughly.

In fact, two thousand years ago, Confucius saw human nature thoroughly, taught it to his students, and sorted out the Analects.

Families like courtiers are also in business, but they are essentially political families, politics comes first, and business is only a means to maintain politics.

They are the most supportive of the center, because the center is gone, and they are the first to be unlucky.

"Shousuke-sama, this is the best way to see it at the moment."

Yu Zijun insisted: "No matter how you do it, there are loopholes, and if there are loopholes, you can make up for them, besides, the public enterprise center has not done it, but you can give it a try." ”

Zhu Qiyu coughed lightly: "Why haven't you done it?" Royal Comptoir, isn't it? ”

The courtier was stunned, isn't this your private property?

All the slaves are used by you, you have the absolute right to dispose of them, and the profits and losses are all within the pocket.

"Yu Zijun's point is very good, this is called a state-owned enterprise, and it is a national enterprise."

Zhu Qiyu stood up and walked down the Danqi: "The Royal Commercial Bank is a state-owned enterprise, but the profits and losses are all internal. ”

"There are also state-owned enterprises in the center, such as ordnance factories, water horse stations, gunpowder factories, iron ore factories, and salt factories, aren't they all state-owned enterprises."

"It's just that in the past, the center didn't compete with the people for profit."

"I didn't do any business in depth, I did monopoly business, such as ordnance, gunpowder, iron ore, etc., which is an important weapon of the country and cannot fall into the people."

Zhu Qiyu walked up to Yu Zijun and helped him up: "So it's up to the center to monopolize it." ”

"I have done a lot of business, but I have rewarded them all, because I don't want to be infamous for competing with the people."

"In fact, Yu Qing thought very well, through state-owned enterprises, to balance private capital."

"Shousuke's worries are also right, people, they are all self-interested animals, greedy for cards, human nature, understandable."

"But you can't give up eating because of choking, and you can change your thinking."

"Take the city as an example, Daming can undertake foreign trade, that is, engage in foreign trade, some domestic monopoly products, and sell them to foreign countries."

These words made the courtiers dumbfounded, the ordnance has been exported, and this money has been put in the ordnance factory, that is, in the household department.

With the breaking of the monopoly of salt, the imperial court monopolized only ordnance, and iron was a semi-monopoly, allowing a small amount of private sales and not exporting.

Important materials such as gunpowder, saltpeter, and oil are absolute monopolies, and these are completely loss-making, and there is no way to make money at all.

"Your Majesty, you have confused the old minister, Daming has let go of all industries and does not practice monopoly." Li Xian asked all the questions that the courtiers wanted to ask.

"Shousuke, think about it." Zhu Qiyu smiled.

"Your Majesty, don't sell it." Li Xian can't think of it even if he wants to break his head.

Yu Zijun said: "Your Majesty refers to patents? But we have a monopoly on patents, and we can't go to all countries to collect taxes? ”

"Zhuqing, the monopoly you want is a monopoly on raw materials."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "In the past few years, I have been emphasizing the brand, and even constantly restricting the export of raw materials. ”

"To put it bluntly, raw materials are low value-added products, and the things produced belong to medium value-added products, while branded products are high value-added products."

"Can you explain these terms to you with Qiu Jun?" Zhu Qiyu asked Qiu Jun to come forward.

It has been more than ten years since the economic theory was issued, and the courtiers have understood it.

"Therefore, Zhu Qing has been thinking that monopolizing raw materials, such as monopolizing salt and iron, is useless."

"Private businessmen seem to make money, but in fact, they make a small amount of money."

"They don't make money at all!"

"Li Bing, bring the financial report of the Ministry of Finance."

Zhu Qiyu unfolded the recital: "Look, this year's tea exports have reached a terrifying 1 million tons!" ”

"How much is the tariff revenue? Seven million only! ”

"Otherwise, how can I say that these businessmen have a hole in their heads!"

"Qiu Jun, you explain to them, where is the pit!"

Qiu Jun is also confused, he is engaged in economic theory, but he can't do business.

"You, you still have to learn."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "What is the concept of exporting 1 million tons of tea?" ”

"For all nations, tea is a necessity of life, indispensable for daily life!"

"And tea, only Da Ming has it!"

"Do you know any concepts?"

"Monopoly! Absolute monopoly! ”

"And how many Daming Tea Gardens are there? Which province does not grow tea in the southern provinces? Is it because there are too many tea plantings, so Zhu Qing doesn't take tea seriously? ”

"Li Bing, did you say that you want to expand the export of tea?"

Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Are you so stupid, seven million will blind your eyes?" ”

"Why don't you want to think about it? What you don't value, in foreign countries is rations, indispensable things. ”

"I'll tell you that."

"All ethnic groups in this world eat meat, eat meat all year round, and don't eat a mouthful of vegetables, what will happen to them?"

"Constipation! Can't pull it out! ”

Zhu Qiyu said: "Why is tea selling well? Because the tea leaves can make them pull out, otherwise they will suffocate them! ”

The courtiers looked at each other, how could it be?

Who doesn't eat a bite of green vegetables, how disgusting it is to eat meat?

"Your Majesty is right, the Mongols and Xiyi don't eat vegetables." Wang Fu spoke.

"So, tea is a necessity for them."

"I'd rather eat, they have to drink tea too!"

"Got it?"

Zhu Qiyu said: "Next year, Daming will not export a catty." ”

"Deflation, Your Majesty is making the world unable to drink tea, and the price of tea has skyrocketed."

"In this way, Xiyi will suffocate to death, and even start a tea war at all costs."

Wang Fu's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty means that we will take advantage of Xiyi's weakness and increase the price of tea, and make more money than seven million!" ”

Zhu Qiyu looked at him appreciatively: "Wang Fu is right. ”

"Not only can tea not be exported, but tea must also be treated as contraband, and no one is allowed to take it out of the country, and all passing ships must be strictly inspected."

"Tea trees are only available in Daming, and tea is only produced in Daming!"

"Dry them for a year, and next year the price will go up, and earn them 70 million!"

"Think it's too expensive?"

"Hey, do you know how to increase the added value of your products?"

"Start the brand, the packaging is excellent, not only do not make Wanguo feel expensive, but also feel that it is worth the money!"

Zhu Qiyu saw that the courtiers were all confused.

The price has increased tenfold, how is it worth the money?

If it's not worth the money, no one is stupid, they will look for other alternatives, even at the cost of starting a war, which is unnecessary.

To do business, it is better to use economic means, and if there is nothing to do, go to war, that is the mad dog Ottoman.

"Who went to buy groceries?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the ministers in the palace, but none of them had ever bought vegetables.

"It's not appropriate to buy groceries, have you been to Goolan Vashe?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and asked, "How much is Chunqi'er?" How much does an Oiran cost? And how much do those who pick up customers outside? Do you understand? ”

The emperor's analogy is indecent, but appropriate.

Yu Zijun reacted: "Your Majesty means that we want to build a high-end tea brand and not export low-end tea in the future." ”

"It's high-end."

Zhu Qiyu opened his arms: "Look at my dragon robe, this one costs more than one million, if you treat this thing as a commodity, do you think it is expensive?" ”

Who dares to compare dragon robes?

"Let go of the courage to say, it's not like a dragon robe, just an ordinary piece of clothing."

Li Xian can only come out: "Who wears the clothes, if ordinary people wear them, they are naturally not worth the price, and what Your Majesty wears is worth all the gold." ”

Zhu Qiyu glanced at him and cleaned his stinky feet.

"Let's compare it."

"Wang Xizhi's words, on the price of inches, right? As for my words, if I don't sign it, no one will ask for it on the street, right? ”

"The word of business, the folk is hard to find!"

"If there is a calligraphy and painting merchant now, on a pair of words, the name of the merchant is signed, this character is worth ten thousand gold."

Zhu Qiyu doesn't know if it's inappropriate, anyway, it means that only with a brand can it be high-end.

The courtiers were thoughtful.

"The ministers understand what Your Majesty means."

Li Xian wondered: "But what does this have to do with state-owned enterprises?" ”

"Stupid."

"Can the private sector create a high-end brand?"

"Can we create a brand that satisfies the nobles of all nations? No, I can't! Only when the center goes down in person, spends a huge amount of money, and integrates the industrial chain, can this brand be made. ”

"Isn't a state-owned enterprise formed?"

"As long as the order is signed with the nobles of all countries, the state-owned enterprises will continue to supply, and it will take time for private brands to occupy the highest-end market, and during this period, the center will have state-owned enterprises that balance private capital."

"Think about it again, is Wang Xizhi's character really the first in the ages? Are later generations of calligraphers really far behind Wang Xizhi? ”

"Speaking of which, isn't it just blowing? When everyone is gold, it becomes a golden signboard! We have to know how to publicize! Look at what the nations like, what they believe in, let's use these things to promote! ”

Zhu Qiyu taught by hand: "Don't limit your thinking to tea." ”

"Spices, cotton, silk, wool textiles, even sugar, wine, butter, and cheese can all be branded."

"As long as the center promulgates a policy, not a single grain of spice is allowed to flow out of the Ming Dynasty, and the nobles of all countries will not be able to eat spices, let's make a beautiful package, and then tell a beautiful story, the price will not go up, and then sell it to them."

"Don't forget, the products in this world are all from Daming."

"Without Daming, the world will die."

"All high-end brands, the center can completely monopolize the operation."

Qiu Jun asked: "Your Majesty, are state-owned enterprises only allowed to export?" Are private companies not allowed to export? ”

"Of course, it is allowed, but raw materials are not allowed to be exported, and goods without brands are not allowed to be exported, and everything else is allowed."

If private capital is restricted, fiscal revenue will be reduced, which Zhu Qiyu does not allow.

"So how do you create a high-end brand? High-end is definitely more expensive, private brands are cheaper, we are not competitive? Qiu Jun was speechless.

"Who's in the right to set the price?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.

"Hub." Qiu Jun said.

"Strict grading of products to increase pricing power."

Zhu Qiyu saw that Qiu Jun didn't understand, and asked him: "Qiu Jun, I ask you, can you drink tea while serving your family?" ”

Qiu Jun was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

Not to mention the family, it is the secretary of the Manchu Dynasty, how many people can't drink it? Isn't it just a vassal elegance?

Suddenly, it suddenly dawned: "Elegance, the nobles of all countries are also talking about elegance, it is a face, as long as high-end products give them enough face, they can sell expensive." ”

"They have to thank us."

Look at those ancient tea trees, why are the prices so frighteningly high, isn't it just related to elegance? It's really delicious, but how many people can understand it?

To put it simply, it's about taking advantage of human weaknesses to make money.

Zhu Qiyu laughed and walked back to the throne: "So, since you want to build a state-owned enterprise, don't make those low-end products, if you want to do it, you can make high value-added and high-precision products." ”

"Only high-tech will make the most money in a short period of time."

"Similarly, domestic enterprises will not be able to catch up for a while and a half, so Daming will have plenty of time to find the other three legs to make the four legs balanced."

The courtiers were thoughtful, and according to the emperor's ideas, it was necessary to integrate all walks of life and industries, and then form small brands.

This is an opportunity for a prosperous family.

The family can take the opportunity to buy a number of small businesses and form a brand enterprise.

"Zhu Qing seems to have forgotten that this place has the strongest spending power in the world."

Zhu Qiyu pointed to the ground under his feet: "It's Daming." ”

"Like the Manchu Dynasty ministers, they are the most capable consumer groups in the Ming Dynasty, and even the servants of your family are all middle class."

"Do you consume the same as the people? When the people eat brown sugar, do you also eat brown sugar? ”

"Let's just say that I am spending 7 million in the palace this year, which one is not the best?"

"Aren't these best things the best brands?"

Ming consumption upgrade, the people have begun to buy cotton, the rich began to buy ready-made clothing, the middle class must be further upgraded, must use the best products.

But this is the best, it is impossible to divide it specifically, and it is natural to give birth to brands, brands of different levels.

"I originally wanted to say it, but let's talk about it today."

"Since the twenty-fourth year of Jingtai, it has strictly controlled the export of corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava, yams, peppers, persimmons, shallots, spices, tea and other special crops of the Ming Dynasty, especially seeds, not a single grain is allowed to be brought out of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Including rice, wheat, sugar cane, olive trees, palm trees, rapeseed, pig breeds, sheep breeds, beef cattle breeds, cultivated cattle breeds, etc., everything is included."

"And all the inventions of the people, especially those related to agriculture, especially fertilizers, are not allowed to be brought out of the Ming Dynasty."

"And books, patents! Not a word is allowed to flow out! ”

"From today, the patent office will use the code book, secretly transcribe the patent, and put it in a specific position, written by different people randomly, and each other is not allowed to know the specific content.

Zhu Qiyu said sternly: "Daming can sell finished products, but he can't sell raw materials, let alone seeds!" ”

"Once discovered, punish the ten clans! Full of Late! Crush the bones and scatter ashes! ”

"From the twenty-fourth year of Jingtai, any ship that passes through Malacca must be inspected in detail, and ships outside Malacca are not allowed to leave the country!"

The courtiers knelt on the ground: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

"Tell the world at once."

"In particular, tea trees, silkworm seeds, porcelain firing methods, improved seeds of the Ming Dynasty, secret methods of winemaking, secret methods of weaving, smelting of livestock and oil, mining methods of iron ore, manufacturing methods of karez, machinery developed by the Ming Dynasty, etc., are not allowed to leave the country."

"The second is books, no one is allowed to take books out of the country without the permission of the center! Akito who leave the country are not allowed to transcribe the contents of books without permission! ”

"Then there is medicine, mechanics, and chemistry, all the results of research, all of which are compiled into code books and stored in a unified manner, and they are never allowed to disclose half of them to anyone, and it is strictly forbidden to take them out of the country."

"From now on, Daming implements an industry-wide monopoly, and any industry must carry out a worldwide monopoly."

"Daming is only allowed to export finished products, such as clocks and watches, such as spices."

"You can make the merchants understand the tastes of various countries, make different spice packets, sell them to them, and strictly prohibit leaking the recipe!"

"The secret method of improving seeds of the Department of Agriculture is set as a special state secret, and all code books are compiled, and it is strictly forbidden to take them out of the country."

"Speaking of recipes."

"Since the beginning of the 24th year of Jingtai, we must ensure that the people of the whole country, the rigor of the formula, and the formula of all walks of life must be strictly protected."

"Any formula must be given the strictest protection, and it is not allowed to sell the formula, especially not to take any formula out of the country."

"This formula, including food formula, drug formula, fertilizer formula, wood formula, etc., all formulas are not allowed to be taken out of the country."

"Since the beginning of Jingtai 24 years, we will protect local native products, build local brands, and strictly prohibit local seeds and formulas from leaving the country, and encourage and support the sale of local native products."

"Everything in the Ming Dynasty is not allowed to be taken out of the country without official permission, only finished products can be sold, and no raw materials are allowed to leave the country!"

"Everything in the private sector must be registered for patents, and the formula can not be disclosed to the patent office, but to register the company and the patent, the patent office must use a code book to transcribe, and many people take turns to transcribe, and no one knows the secret recipe."

"From the twenty-fourth year of Jingtai, no cultural relics in China are allowed to flow out of the country!"

"The so-called cultural relics, including poems, calligraphy and paintings, places of interest, porcelain pottery antiquities, and even tables, chairs and benches used by the ancients, are all in the sequence of cultural relics, which can be traded domestically, but are not allowed to be taken abroad."

"And accelerate the speed of foreign cultural relics flowing into the country!"

"The ink treasures of contemporary literati and the treasures they manufacture, such as the characters of the merchant and the fine porcelain fired in Jingdezhen, will also be valuable things in the future, and they will not be allowed to flow abroad."

"In addition, folk poetry and songs, scripts, songs, stage plays, musical instruments, dances and other literary and artistic treasures are not allowed to leave the country."

"At the beginning of the twenty-fourth year of Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty will implement the most severe protection law."

"Everything in the Ming Dynasty must be protected and not allowed to leave the country."

"And everything abroad should be brought back to China at an accelerated pace, and I will support the collection of the collection, the study of the collection, the promotion of the promotion, and the planting of the planting."

The courtiers are confused, you are a Pixiu, you only enter and can't leave, right?

Daming is not allowed to leave the country, everything abroad goes inside, and it has to go crazy and learn crazy.

Li Xian smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you can understand the protection of seeds, raw materials, and books, but what is the use of this cultural relic if you can't go abroad?" ”

Cultural relics are definitely the more you buy, the more valuable they are.

The most infuriating thing is that even the folk scripts are protected? Idle, right? What's the use of that?

Zhu Qiyu sneered, don't you know, LV copied the bags of the Tang Dynasty, what can't the capitalists do?

"I really told you, I have to protect the water of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Qiyu said: "I don't allow the water of Daming to flow out of the country!" ”

The courtiers are all confused, aren't they?

From ancient times to the present, the tributary system is that the Ming Dynasty has good things and will give them to Fanbang, which is a lot of things that originated in China, which have been transformed into their things.

For example, qanats, oil extraction equipment, palm trees, coconut palms, shallots, clocks and so on.

In the end, it was found that none of them were Chinese, and after careful investigation, it was found that they were all Chinese.

"Da Ming's poems, can Waiyi understand them? What is the point of talking about chickens and ducks? ”

Zhu Qiyu asked: "Do they have the ability to appreciate beauty?" ”

"The cultural relics of Xiyi are in Daming, are they appreciated? This is the necessity of the existence of these cultural relics, and there must be people who know how to appreciate them. ”

"Don't think that these things are not important, I tell you, these things are very important, a poem, does it teach people a truth in life?"

"If they wake up because they have read this poem, become characters like Alexander, and lead troops to attack Great Qin, are you afraid?"

But the problem is that there are a lot of poems, which are from Xiyi!

How many ships of books did you buy from India, Timur, Ottoman, Europa, and how many poems, articles, music were translated?

You are restricted from leaving the country, do you do this?

That's someone else's stuff!

"I don't care, what is in Daming is Daming!"

"The Indian script, the Babylonian script, the Arabic script, the Egyptian script, are all from the Ming Dynasty!"

"Can't you?"

Zhu Qiyu is a scoundrel: "I will, will they?" ”

"India doesn't even have a decent book now, so what more do they need? Forget it for me! ”

"The Arabs are all destroyed, and their words have a fart! I don't dislike those things now, I've already counted them for face! ”

"And that Persia, Persia has been occupied by Timur for more than a hundred years, and I don't even know it!"

"Persian culture, return to the Ming Dynasty, is there any objection?"

"I bought them all with my money, Timur sold all the books in their country to me, and even many buildings in Persia were only available in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu smiled evilly: "They don't cherish their own culture and cut off civilization, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Persian and Arab architecture, the Ming Dynasty imitated one, and toppled one.

Some even moved things to Daming and demolished the original building directly.

Timur and Ottoman have no objection, as long as the Ming Dynasty gives money, they don't care what Persian and Arab civilization is like, it is not their country, they are foreign invaders!

Just like Mongolia, if you lose China, you don't feel distressed at all, and you still live well when you return to Mobei.

Even Timur, in the name of an armistice, took out everything in Persia and gave it to the Ming Dynasty, just begging the Ming not to fight.

"They want to come to find their roots, but they can only come to me."

Zhu Qiyu said suddenly: "This is the end of the country's break, even civilization must be cut off!" ”

"Do you also want the country to be ruined?"

"Do you also want the 5,000-year-old civilization of China to be cut off?"

The courtiers were shocked, and they all knelt on the ground: "The ministers don't dare." ”

"Since the Yellow Emperor, China has lived here and created an incomparably splendid civilization, so that we have our descendants of Yan and Huang!"

"Huaxia was also occupied by Hulu, it was Emperor Taizu who reshaped the clothes of the Han people!"

"I understand this kind of acute pain!"

"I don't want to repeat that again!"

"Therefore, I will not allow any possibility of harming the Ming Dynasty."

"Culture, never allow the slightest export."

Zhu Qiyu said seriously: "The Ming Dynasty wants to monopolize the existing books to the highest degree, and no one is allowed to take them out of the country, and literati who go out are not allowed to write silently!" ”

"Your Ministers obey!" The courtier fell to his knees.

Li Xian thought about it, the emperor's monopoly on culture was probably aimed at the countries outside the Western Regions, which was to cut off the courtiers' thoughts of Sinicizing foreign countries.

The emperor was determined to destroy the people, moved the Ming people, and sealed them out.

The ban must be imposed.

Zhu Qiyu has been thinking about it for a long time, and this time he suddenly proposed to make high-end tea, so he must monopolize the tea tree.

The tea plantations could not expand westward for the time being, because without Malacca, the Ming could not fully control it.

After all, human nature cannot stand the test.

If they want to beat the existing tea garden brands out first, and then expand westward in the future, they can only eat low-end, and the high-end market has long been monopolized by the mainland.

After some discussion, Geng Jiuchou continued to make a report.

Daming added millions of acres of cultivated land, mainly because Heilongjiang was reclaimed.

Heilongjiang is only valuable in the coastal part, and after the Sanjiang Plain, the value is getting lower and lower, but Sakhalin Island has found oil.

It was the natives of Sakhalin who said that their ancestors had seen oil.

Daming sent people to look for it, but they didn't find it after looking for a few years, so it is speculated that there may be, but the mining difficulty is too high, and it is difficult to mine with the current technology.

The population of Heilongjiang reached 14 million, mainly Huairou hundreds of thousands of Huerha, and some meritorious slaves were released, plus female slaves were constantly sent over.

Ezo Island has built the largest marine fish canning factory in Daming, because Ezo Island is one of the places with the most fish in the world, and since it was incorporated into the territory of Heilongjiang, it has attracted many businessmen to invest.

In particular, after the burial of King Warei here, the royal trading house also invested here, and King Tokuwang also came to invest, and the canning factory on Ezo Island was developed.

Ezo Island has become a rich area in Heilongjiang.

Jilin has a population of more than 27 million.

During the year, 2 million Han women married in Jilin, and the number is still surging.

The main thing is that the second child in the family who moved over wrote a letter to his father, and their father and mother knew that they were doing well in Jilin, and the daughter-in-law was so good.

The days in the mainland can't catch up with the Northeast, and the man pays a lot of bride price, and Han women marry over there one after another.

The Turkic population is over 10,000, and the Tatar population is 9,000.

The population of the Mongolian capital is more than 200,000, and the natives of Haihuairou are also more than 10,000.

These wild places, it is enough to send people to take care of them.

There are frequent exchanges between the mainland and the Northeast.

It has set fire to the transportation industry and opened a series of cruise ships, which travel back and forth between the mainland and the northeast all year round.

Since the twelfth year of Jingtai, the center has tried its best to make Shenyang a holy place for Buddhism, and the things brought back from India are mostly hidden in Shenyang, and Shenyang has become the city with the most temples in the world.

After ten years of development, Shenyang has become a veritable Buddhist capital, and many ascetics make pilgrimages to Shenyang.

Liaoning is already rich, with the iron factory and the Buddha capital, plus it is located in the main transportation artery, the thoroughfare of the five provinces, and the wealth is richer.

In the 23rd year of Jingtai, Liaoning's population exceeded 27 million, ranking first in Northeast China's economy.

Similarly, North Korea has relied on the advantage of the strait to become the second largest economy among the six northeastern provinces, with a population of more than 10 million.

From a thoroughly poor province, it has become a strong province in the interior.

When it was first recovered, the courtiers thought that it was so poor, what was the use?

Now no one says that North Korea is poor, and the cultivation of hardy rice and corn has made North Korea self-sufficient.

In addition, the mature industrial chain of the garment factory, with its unique geographical advantages, is surrounded by the sea and has undertaken customized orders.

This year, there are 10 million people in North Korea, and no one is starving to death.

The population of Northeast China is about to exceed 100 million.

The Ministry of Household estimates that by the end of Jingtai's 24th year, the population of Daming may exceed 400 million.

Geng Jiuchou spoke for two and a half hours, his mouth was dry, and he finally finished speaking, and the achievements of the household department in one year were gratifying.

Then the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs made reports in turn.

In the end, it was the turn of Li Bing of the Ministry of Finance.

"This year, the total turnover in the bank has exceeded 10 billion!"

"And as of the time Weichen wrote the song, the bank deposit was as high as 700 million!"

"Banks everywhere are doing well."

"There are no arrears, losses, and pockets."

"The lottery released by the Ministry of Finance,This year's total revenue is 1.7 million,This money,All used to repair roads,The Supervision Department has been checked,Wechen also personally looked at it,All used in practice。

When they heard that the lottery revenue was so much, the courtiers were shocked.

The Ministry of Finance has three types of income, which are not included in the Ministry of Households: bank income, lottery income and event income.

All three of these are the financial department's own profit and loss.

Lottery revenue,It must be invested in infrastructure,Not allowed to spend indiscriminately,Not allowed to invest in other places,After the infrastructure is completed,It will be used as social welfare institutions,Such as libraries、Public toilets,etc。

"This year, a total of 12 major competitions and 72 small competitions were held, and there was basically a break-even and no loss."

The event has sports, there are cultural clubs, and most of them are Chinese.

It's been more than ten years, and for the first time, there is no loss.

In the past, this loss was supported by internal funds, and the profit went to the Ministry of Finance.

The taxes and fees collected by the Ministry of Finance must be handed over to the treasury of the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Finance is only responsible for collecting them, and their real source of income is bank income.

"After running the competition, you have to make money."

Zhu Qiyu gave Feng Xiao a look, and soon a eunuch brought out a tray, and on the tray was a sphere.

"Your Majesty, is this like football?" Li Bing saw it.

This soccer ball is made of pork belly and rubber.

The Royal Comptoir cut the rubber tree, so it developed a hand-rubbed rubber sheet, and made it little by little by hand, just to make this football.

Although the technology is not good yet, at least the world's first football appeared, and basketball and volleyball are also fast.

The emperor likes it, and the development is definitely fast.

"That's right, it's football, the previous football was hard and not playable, this new football is different, Li Qing, you try."

Li Bingzhen slapped it a few times and found that the elasticity was good and very soft.

"In the future, if you use this as a football, will you be able to attract more people to play? If you do it for a few more years, you will not only not lose money, but you will also make a lot of money. Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile.

Li Bing said yes.

Courtiers all try football, after all, men have a football heart.

"Your Majesty, what kind of material is this made of? The old minister has never seen it? Li Xian actually kicked twice.

Zhu Qiyu was speechless: "How old are you, don't flash your old waist." ”

"It's made of rubber trees."

Li Xian was taken aback, the center has always opposed the planting of rubber trees, because this rubber tree is useless, who knew that this thing could make football?

But the center has a lot of seeds, all of which are used to make football?

He picked up the soccer ball, touched the material, and thought about it.

"Look, this rubber has a lot of use, bigger than oil."

Zhu Qiyu no longer spoilers: "Li Bing, go on." ”
