Merchants opened an ancestral exhibition hall.

The people were curious.

On the day of the opening, the splendid performance of the lion dance attracted more people, and people paid money to enter the exhibition hall to see what was going on.

"The husband complained that it was used for the long stay of the Qianqiu Sui."

In the bamboo slips in the glass cover, such words could be vaguely seen, and the Guozi supervisor next to him took the initiative to explain: "A woman came to the pass and said that my husband complained that he was the chief of the Qianqiu Sui, please let me go and send winter clothes to my husband." ”

"The Han Dynasty woman unearthed in Gansu in the Han Dynasty applied for leaving the customs to send winter clothes to her husband who guarded the customs, which was moving to read."

The students of Guozijian were full of envy, "Qin has Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall, and Han has a woman who has traveled thousands of miles to send winter clothes to her husband regardless of the danger, which shows that since ancient times, only love has been long-lasting." ”

People suddenly realized, and smiles appeared on their faces.

"History is not time, but countless individuals and events." Said a man in a long robe.

There are many cabinets in the exhibition hall, and each cabinet displays different items, including pottery, ironware, and letters, all of which are ancient objects.

"The day before yesterday, I cleaned up the old house and found an old plowshare, I was about to lose it, on the inside of the plowshare, I found a line of words engraved by my father, he said, 'Repair it, it can still be used, don't lose it.'" Tears flowed down my eyes at that time, as if my father was talking to me again. A middle-aged woman in a racer wiped her tears.

While the people here sighed and remembered, laughter was heard elsewhere.

It turned out that there was a strange-looking pottery model, and the human face was squeezed into a ball, which was very funny, and the visitors couldn't help but laugh.

There are also two little potters, holding their faces and kissing their mouths.

On the bronze head, I don't know which ancient, carved a smiling face on it, and what is even funnier is that a few front teeth are specially carved, which makes the visitors happy to close their mouths.

On the clay pot, a pair of smiling eyes and a small mouth were taken out, as if they were human faces.

The bronze man shuddered and tucked his hands into his crotch to keep warm.

The ancient soldier stretched out his left hand and gave a thumbs up.

"The ancestors are so funny."

"I seem to see the old ancestor saying, 'When you wait for the next generation, you won't think that only you can be funny', hahaha."

"It's a bit like urinating urgently and not being able to find a toilet." Someone laughed at the bronze man who was trembling and holding his hands around his crotch.

The Ancestral Exhibition Hall is not fixed.

The merchant rented a temporary hall, saw that the business in the capital was good, and kept doing it for half a year, and waited for fewer people to visit, and then packed up his things and went to the next place to find a place to go to the exhibition.

Life in the capital is becoming more and more diverse.

Starting point tea is popular in the market.

The same thing as milk tea, there are added fruits, there are also added sugar, etc., although it is a tea style that has existed in the Han and Tang Dynasties, but it was popularized and popular in the Song Dynasty, but since the death of the Song Dynasty, the tea has disappeared and is only recorded in the text.

Historically, the social prosperity of the Ming Dynasty did not reach the height of the Song Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty did not order tea.

"How idle the Song people are."

It takes a lot of effort to order tea, so the people in the capital sighed.

While drinking exquisite tea, they commented on the ancients.

on clothing.

Because the women had plenty of money and loved beauty, the merchants made leather heels.

The West has a hard time walking because of the mud and feces on the streets. Inspired by this, the merchant had a pair of shoes with high heels made, which were quickly welcomed by the aristocracy and sparked in the 16th century.

Oriental high heels are the product of women's love of beauty.

There were many records of the earliest Zhou Dynasty, and there were many records of Tang and Song Dynasty poems, but the leather high heels of the Ming Dynasty in history were similar to the styles of high heels in later generations, and now the Yongle Dynasty rose in advance.

Grand Theater, Keju Field, Bamboo Stadium, Song and Dance Theater, Drama Theater, Acrobatics and Acrobatic Performances at Temple Fairs.

Dragon dance.

Lion dance.

Social fire performance.

The old and new parts of the capital, with a population of more than one million, were different from the traditional social model, and the power of the noble class was compressed, and as the slavery system was completely blocked, although the families began to use the maids of the Waguo, Goryeo, and Nanyang, the population of the dependent noble families was greatly reduced.

It is like a high-consumption city, which has stimulated countless new needs.

The coal drivers who delivered coal to each family drove donkey carts to ensure the livelihood and cooking of millions of people in the capital, solving the fuel problem.

The significance of coal mining replacing wood.

If the fuel of later generations returns to wood, it will bring huge disasters, a rapid decline in population in a short period of time, a large-scale industrial regression, etc., the same reason, the demand for coal mines in the Ming Dynasty has reached the point where it is inseparable.

Coal Age.

On the front page of the social newspaper, the four big characters did not make the people wake up that they have entered a new era.

Governor of Goryeo Kang Bin-chi.

After returning from the investigation in Korea, a high-level meeting was organized, which was attended by the grain stamp issuing bank, the energy development bank, the agricultural development bank, the industrial promotion bank, the transportation and construction bank, the railway engineering department, the chief treasurer of the Jinzhou shipyard, and the technical report manager

Not only Goryeo trading houses, but also domestic trading houses, and the big proprietors of Hakei also participated in the event.

The top floor of the tallest building in the Ming Dynasty.

The corridors are covered with wool carpets, combined with the style and weaving style of the Samarkand carpets, which not only set off the atmosphere of wealth, but also make people feel comfortable and happy when they step on them.

On the smooth walls as white as snow, there are all kinds of precious calligraphy and paintings, and the porcelain on the desk is specially fired, each of which is worth a lot of money.

In a specially provided room, the musicians are playing beautiful music.

Every oil lamp is different and full of art.

Behind the large glass windows, the thick red curtains, tied with yellow bands, are bound into beautiful shapes, which have been carefully cared for by the building's managers, and the back of each place is not simple.

The mahogany conference table, as well as the neat objects in the hall, hundreds of upper-class people, their tables have been filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas, as well as wine, rice wine, rice wine, etc.

Jiang Binzhi walked to the stage, and applause began to ring.

For this meeting, Jiang Binzhi has put in a lot of effort, but the reward of hard work has made Jiang Binzhi's face flushed.

"I am standing here today and am very happy to share with you some thoughts and views on the economic development and construction of the Korean region."

"Whoa."

The businessmen applauded vigorously.

The stewards of the grain stamp bank were more dignified, and their right fingers were patted on the palm of their left hand, as if they were very elegant.

The domestic coal miners and the Goryeo coal miners, who were originally like water and fire, sat together in harmony, which was unimaginable half a year ago, although it did not happen in China, there were many conflicts in Goryeo.

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.

The caravans sent by the country's major coal miners were defeated and expelled by the Goryeo Daming merchants.

Jiang Binzhi waited for a while, and then continued, "Regarding the economic development and construction of the Goryeo region, there is a lot of opposition in the country, and the reasons for this are not much to say here. ”

"However, please rest assured that Goryeo will embark on a new path, and the energy issue is an important proposition for the development of our current Ming society."

"With the overall energy demand of society doubling and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's idea of a basic energy economy of putting the outside first and then the inside, the development of energy in the Goryeo region is already an urgent issue."

"With the rapid progress of shipping capacity, the interactive development of productivity between Korea and the mainland has met the conditions needed for the industrialization and urban rise of the Ming Dynasty, and we need to examine and promote the economic development and construction of the Goryeo region from a more comprehensive, innovative and sustainable perspective."

A total of 12 million yuan of loan support, the technical support promised by the Ministry of Railway Engineering, and the commitment of the big manager of Jinzhou Shipyard to supply the bank with the cheapest shipping price, and ensure that the annual ship launching capacity of Jinzhou Shipyard will be at least doubled next year.

They all laughed.

The private merchants also smiled from ear to ear.

The new governor of Goryeo is indeed a good person, and he will not implement the system of the Ministry of Workers' and People's Union in the Goryeo region, and many restrictions have been relaxed, although they are all absorbing their interests, but compared to the visible benefits in the future, no big businessman can find fault.

Day 2.

Most of the newspapers published the news, and it spread widely, but the common people only thought that they had done something new, and they did not understand the meaning of it after a short time of talking.

Mandarin Palace.

Jiang Binzhi reported to Zhu Gaochi the results of the previous few days and the next layout. After listening, Zhu Gaochi did not express too many opinions, but pondered.

The world of the future is very different.

No country can develop in isolation, and any country is pursuing more trade, so isolating its opponents has become one of the ultimate means of the United States, and most of the weak and small countries cannot cope with this means of the United States.

The development of Western civilization has achieved excellent results, and has given modern Chinese civilization a lot of reference and learning. Therefore, understanding the West, learning from each other's essence, avoiding each other's dross, and combining their own advantages are what many scholars are trying to do.

The Han people are indeed the most studious people.

When the Han Chinese power broke away from the control of the alien race, the first thing they did was to solve the existence of the emperor, what a great achievement, in a civilization where the existence of the emperor had a history of two thousand years.

Even such a fundamental root, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, can be changed, and how ridiculous and ignorant it is to say that Chinese civilization is a closed and arrogant civilization.

In the first half of the 16th century, Portugal and Spain became the richest countries in Europe, and the Age of Discovery, which was an inevitable direction of study for learning and understanding Western culture.

Such a huge accumulation of wealth, accomplished in just a few decades, is very rare in human history.

So how did Portugal and Spain do this?

In the early days, when people talked about the colonial era, they would attribute all the credit to their wealth, or at least the primitive accumulation of capital, to the plundering of the colonies.

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

But it is also a mistake to attribute this to this, the Mongols plundered half the world, and the Jurchens plundered the whole of China, which also accumulated wealth, but did not give birth to a more advanced civilization, but brought about a great regression of civilization.

The early European colonizers brutally plundered the indigenous peoples of the New World, but if they only followed this line of thought to find the source of wealth in Portugal and Spain, they would be misguided and would not know the real way they obtained wealth.

The wealth that was plundered was a very, very small percentage compared to the total wealth that Europeans had created throughout the colonial period.

The reason is simple, the newly discovered indigenous people of the continent have little wealth to plunder.

At the time of the rise of Portugal and Spain, although they nominally owned sub-Saharan Africa and the whole of the Americas, they did not really colonize much territory, and in the 100 years after Columbus discovered the New World, less than 5% of the land covered by Portuguese and Spanish colonists, and even if they did, most of them were not developed.

Plundering wealth can only transfer wealth, not create it.

The only way to increase wealth is to create more wealth by developing productive forces.

The discovery of the New World is the luck of the West.

The civilization of the New World was so backward that they could not resist the caravans of Westerners, which was not possible in the East, whether in the north or northeast, or in the south of China.

Therefore, during the Ming Dynasty, although a large number of Han Chinese poured into Nanyang and became the local wealthy class, and even had a lot of power, they could not do what Westerners did in the New World.

The Westerners established trade with the Ming Dynasty, and Portugal and Spain could make up for their own lack of productivity through trade, thus effectively increasing their wealth.

In the process, they maintained their need and interest in establishing cities in the New World.

Only by seeing the context of the development of things can we understand what the Ming Dynasty needs to do and how to expand the world and walk on the right path.

The pattern of the governor of Goryeo was different from that of the seven western provinces.

The main function of the governor of the seven western provinces is strategic demand, and the model of the governor of Goryeo, when a perfect supply chain is formed with Boni and other regions, the development of productivity will become the future maritime road of the Ming Dynasty.

"The future of Goryeo will be poor."

Zhu Gaochi frowned and said slowly, he seemed to see the future. Such a crown prince made Jiang Binzhi feel awe.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's prestige is unmatched.

But the closer you get to His Royal Highness the Prince, the more suspicious people will become, as if the prophet in Central Asia, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows everything, the son is silent, and Jiang Binzhi lowered his head and was very silent.

"There will never be a shortage of people on the land, and people are the creatures who are the most adaptable to their environment."

"Since ancient times, the side of the couch does not allow others to snore, although it is the remarks of some people, but the strength of Chinese civilization has indeed promoted this kind of phenomenon, and the world says it."

"There will be fewer people in Goryeo, but there will be more people in Daming."

"So the model in Goryeo can't be set in stone, and in ten years, or twenty years, or even thirty years, the current model will become unadaptable, and if it continues, it will not only fail to reap benefits, but will also bring disaster."

"No one knows how things will happen in the future, but I hope that while I am still alive, I can solve this matter and let Chinese civilization climb to a higher level."

Zhu Gaochi explained a few things.

Jiang Binzhi half understood.

Yongle 10th October.

This month, the number of the two classes of Goryeo who entered the Ming Dynasty through the docks, as well as the Goryeo maids, exceeded 20,000, and the number of Ming people who entered Goryeo exceeded 90,000, including sergeants, officials, merchants, scholars, workers, stewards, etc.

Contingents of "elite soldiers" organized from coal mines in various parts of the north went to Goryeo one by one to develop undeveloped coal and iron mines.

In Jinzhou, Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Tianjin, in just one year, 15 coal washing plants were opened, forming a piece of industrial park, and the first steam engine steamship carrying Korean coal arrived at Dengzhou Wharf, opening the curtain of a new era.

——

Goryeo is divided into eight provinces.

Pyongan Province bordering Liaodong, Hamgyong Province bordering Nuergan, then Hwanghae-do, Gangwon-do, and Gyeonggi-do, Chungcheong-do, Gyeongsang-do, and Jeolla-do to the south.

Pyongan Province and Hamgyong Province belonged to the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty, which originally belonged to the land of China, because after the Tang Dynasty, after a long period of separation, and finally fell under the control of Goryeo during the Yuan Dynasty, and now it has returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Hamgyong Province is the least populated, followed by Pyongan Province, and Hwanghae-do Province is the most populous area of the three regions.

Hwanghaedo is currently under the takeover of the Ming Dynasty and still nominally belongs to Goryeo.

The Ming Dynasty did not set up three divisions in the three places, but established the capital division, and the Ming Dynasty placed the governor of Goryeo in Haizhou, and the original Left Army Temperance Mansion was located.

During the Goryeo period, the Hwanghae-do was divided into two provinces, the capital was also Haeju, and there were Mu, which were Huangju and Haeju, and then the capital of the palace, which were: Yan'an, Pingshan, Ruixing, Fengchuan, Gushan, and Wengjin.

In addition, there are seven counties of Fengshan, Anak, Zainyeong, Suian, Baichuan, Xinchuan, and Jinchuan. As well as Xinxi, Culture, Changlian, Songhe, Kangling, Enli, Tushan, Changyuan eight counties, and Qilin Road, Jinjiaodao, Qingdan Road three roads.

There are two groups of smart people, hoping that the imperial court can set up three divisions in the local area and completely reform the system, but the news that came back, when they learned that the Ming Dynasty refused, those smart two classes of people despaired.

The Ming Dynasty not only retained the local system, but also did not allow it to be changed on the grounds of respecting local traditions and customs.

In the face of strength, a large number of desperate elites entered the Ming Dynasty.

They abandoned their ancestral property, exchanged food stamps from the hands of the Daming merchants, and went to Daming.

Once again, the merchants, who had acquired a large number of fields, built one cash crop estate after another, soybeans, jute, cotton, sumac. A large number of them were planted.

The speed at which capital expanded wealth triggered the participation of many local classes.

They combined with the merchants of the Daming Trading House to open mines.

There is ginseng in Goryeo, and there is also ginseng in Shaanxi.

Historically, the ginseng of Shaanxi was excavated in the early and middle Ming Dynasty and became extinct, while the ginseng of Goryeo was excavated in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and there was a ginseng trade monopolized by the Houjin.

The price of grain in Goryeo is constantly rising.

The two classes that controlled the grain reached a consensus with the Daming merchants, and they did not put a grain of grain into the people, and a large number of peasant households went bankrupt and began to sell their fields in order to make a living.

In the Goryeo region, the large-scale land annexation that began in the eighth year of Yongle reached its peak in the second half of the Yongle decade.

Goryeo is like a treasure pot.

Countless Ming merchants joined it, and even the Ming Industry Bureau and various organizations were greedy, and stretched out their hands to reserve fields in Goryeo, and the Heji Commercial Bank controlled more than 200,000 acres of fields in Goryeo.

It is a field, not a wasteland.

Grain stamps can buy Daming goods, the price of grain stamps is stable, whether it is the two classes of Goryeo or the people, they all regard Daming food stamps as treasures.

The merchants of the Ming Dynasty seemed to want to buy all the fields in Goryeo.

If the price is normal, it will make the current Goryeo quickly rich, but now it is not normal, because of the lack of food among the people, the price of acres is like the price of cabbage.

In the past, a bucket of grain could buy an acre of good farmland, but now it is even more exaggerated, only one liter is needed.

It's like the late Ming Dynasty in history.

Under the control of Houjin, the people of Liaodong could only buy a liter of grain for one tael of silver. Therefore, the population of Liaodong Han people, which had recovered to four million, was only a few hundred thousand left when the Houjin entered the customs.

The attachment of the northern king of Goryeo did not allow the local people to obtain the civilization of the Ming Dynasty.

Under the out-of-control order, local production collapsed, the entire economy was completely corrupted, the people returned to barter, and a large number of people starved to death.

Countless displaced people ran to Seoul and to Goryeo further south.

Such a large number of displaced people had a huge impact on the central and southern regions of Goryeo, and the king of Goryeo and the king of southern Goryeo were tired of coping.

The uprising of displaced people in Shaanxi at the end of the Ming Dynasty did not appear in a short period of time.

As early as the end of Wanli, due to land annexation and natural disasters, there were already a large number of displaced people in northern Shaanxi, and many imperial histories reported local disasters to the imperial court.

But the economically bankrupt Ming was unable to solve it.

After more than ten years of fermentation, the displaced people who lost their restraint in the previous period began to detach into outlaws, from robbing large households without harming the lives of large households, to gradually destroying everything.

Therefore, although there are a large number of displaced people in Goryeo at present, they do not dare to rebel because of the fear of the people's hearts, and it still needs time to precipitate, which also brings them greater suffering.

Meantime.

A large number of trading houses recruited countless cheap laborers under the slogan of managing rice.

They work from morning to night, and the first thing they do when they open their eyes is to work, eating only a small amount of food every day, and then working until the moment before they go to bed.

Work and wait for death.

The world became monotonous in the eyes of the people of Goryeo.

The maximization of capital has made the commodities in the northern region of Goryeo develop rapidly, which is comparable to that of Jinju in those years, and it took only three years, and it was even laughed by merchants that it was the pearl of the Ming Dynasty.

Extreme prosperity and extreme poverty appear on a picture.

"Tears of the Times."

It was painted by a painter who traveled from the capital to Goryeo.

Painting.

A begging child was struck in the leg by a galloping carriage of jewels on the road, and the lady in the carriage, leaving tears of pity through the window, gave the child a dime, and the child struggled to pad his injured leg, showing a happy smile, and was about to reach out to the high window to take the dime.

Goryeo's stability.

In the spring of the eleventh year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the vigorous Western Railway and the Nanyang Railway officially started, and the number of regular workers of the Daming Railway reached two million.

this year.

The wages of ordinary workers in the Daming Industrial Bureau have been raised to one yuan and eight corners.

The return of the Ming Emperor.

Universal celebration. (End of chapter)
