"The Ming merchants of Goryeo wanted to contract a railway, but the governor of Goryeo refused." Yang Shiqi said.

Zhu Gaochi was noncommittal.

People's desires are endless, and the demands for interests will only increase.

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Workers' and People's Cooperation, the number of workers in Goryeo is about one million, while the Daming Bureau has less than 200,000 workers."

"The Daming Commercial Bank of Goryeo is different from the domestic model, because it has absorbed the advantages of the Daming Industrial Bureau, especially the newly absorbed people in the southeast of Chongqing, these people whose lives have undergone earth-shaking changes, they are very loyal to their own trading houses."

There are still some things that Yang Shiqi did not say.

These people who have just come out of their suffering are more barbaric than the people in the mainland, in short, more fearless, fearless are not afraid of death, and if they are not afraid of death, they can fight better than ordinary people.

There are two sides to everything.

He is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has no power to fight back in the face of his barbaric physique.

Without generational equipment, Savage can fight ten.

Goryeo had a steam engine, and although it was mainly used for cash crops and raw materials, it actually had the capacity of primary industry, and the merchants did not lack technology, and compared to overseas merchants such as Ryukyu and Boni, Goryeo had grown into a force to be reckoned with due to their unique factors.

Goryeo has coal mines, iron mines, plains, population, and a diverse geographical environment, and it is possible to become a self-sufficient society, and if it meets such conditions, it will be able to develop industry.

Zhu Gaochi stared at the map.

The development of things, with the frequent trade brought by the Ming Dynasty, what happened in Chongqing, actually leveraged Goryeo, which no one expected, and I am afraid that those Ming firms did not expect it so far.

They just proceeded from interests, grabbed ahead of the Daming Industry Bureau, absorbed a large number of different groups of workers, and played an unexpected role with the changes of most of the year.

These Ming people, who did not have a king, became the most loyal thugs in the hands of the Ming trading houses, and compared with the people in other parts of the mainland, these working groups still had a fear of the imperial court in their hearts.

If you have fear, you can obey the management of the court, and if you don't have fear, you will not obey the management of the court.

"Let Zhao An go to Goryeo."

Zhu Gaochi said.

Yang Shiqi was stunned, this is a good idea, but Zhao An is a military general, if Zhao An is allowed to serve as the governor of Goryeo and break the original employment system, will it cause a new crisis, Yang Shiqi hesitated.

"Let Zhao An be the governor of Jeolla." Zhu Gaochi knew Yang Shiqi's worries and said directly.

Yang Shiqi had no opinion.

With the Governor's Office in the northern part of Goryeo and the southern part of Goryeo in Choan, the imperial court was soon able to stabilize the situation and calm the merchants who were about to move.

The governor is a civilian official, and the governor is a military attaché, and this system has been in force for many years in the seven western provinces, and there is no problem.

"To control the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, it is better to block than to dredge." Zhu Gaochi thought that the matter was not completely resolved, and continued to express his thoughts, Yang Shiqi listened carefully, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often had convincing ideas.

"The formulation of the law lags behind the development of society, the Ming Dynasty has been established for 50 years, and the development of industrialization has also entered the twenty-fifth year, in the process of social resource distribution mode, it is on the right track, just like a train that has been passing at high speed."

"We have achieved success in all aspects, but under the great changes in society, as well as the expansion of the territory and the suzerainty system of the Ming Dynasty, the provisions of the law have lagged behind the needs of society."

In fact, the law of the Ming Dynasty has changed a lot over the years, especially with regard to the protection of property and other aspects, and the complete abolition of the domestic slavery system and the full restoration of personality equality.

However, in recent years, Daming has encountered one new problem after another in the local area, and after Zhu Gaochi's contemplation and summary, there are also great reasons for the backwardness of the law.

Merchants are insecure.

In addition to their ambitions, there are also uneases.

Unlike the sparse population of the Ryukyus, the turmoil of the Wa Kingdom, and the low level of civilization in overseas places such as Boni, they could not support the ambitions of the merchants, but Goryeo was different.

Yang Shiqi agreed with His Royal Highness the Prince's statement, especially after listening to the new learning that has become a household name in the capital recently, Yang Shiqi, who returned from Nanyang, suddenly discovered the knowledge of the Ming Dynasty, and the new learning has become the mainstream.

Then in Xinxue, the idea of the clan system also provided Yang Shiqi with more ideas.

Soon after, under the organization of the cabinet, many scholars were gathered, and even many famous lawyers and many wise people were invited to discuss the expansion of the Great Ming Law on a huge scale.

The addition of the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple marks the importance of the Ming Law Consultation.

Among them, some people proposed to reduce the inheritance tax from a maximum of 45 percent to 20 percent, and the collection standard was also greatly raised, increasing it by a full three times, but in the end, Zhu Gaochi personally came forward and strongly refused.

could have instructed others to speak out, but Zhu Gaochi didn't do it, he wanted to use his own attitude to tell some people that certain red lines would never be shaken.

If you don't control capital, you end up being controlled by capital.

So a hundred years later, Zhu Gaochi is sure that everything he has built will soon be occupied and dominated by capital.

People often like to confuse contradictions.

If A and I have a conflict, I won't play with B because B and A have spoken.

When the teacher scolded me, I didn't learn to retaliate against him.

In the same way, the social and humanistic society of the West in later generations was not all brought about by capital, but only through years of war and struggle, as well as the new height of productive forces brought about by the development of scientific level.

In the process of conquering the New World, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Britain and France continuously transported the poor people in the country and the poor who had nothing to the new land, and left them to fend for themselves, the process of struggle and confrontation, iron and blood, and the sacrifice of many generations to solve the fierce contradictions in the country.

Seeing only the laughter of later generations, but not the bitterness and tears of the tree planters, is also the mistake of arrogant ideas.

In the confrontation with capital, the continuous progress of society, through drastic changes, reached the humanistic environment of the West in later generations, which is luck, not inevitable.

If he wants to maintain a society in which social resources are distributed and achieve the ultimate ideal of a country in which everyone is for me and I am for everyone, Zhu Gaochi must persist in many things, including solving the core problem of redistribution of social resources.

Then controlling the hereditary capital of the merchants is an important means as solving the hereditary succession of the nobility.

Agrarian social rights cannot be hereditary.

Industrial social capital cannot be hereditary.

The former is the annexation of land, the latter is the annexation of the means of production, both of which monopolize the common people and hinder the upward passage of the class.

Everyone has selfish intentions, and Yang Shiqi also has selfish intentions.

has reached the core of power, Yang Shiqi controls the authority of the country, and Huang Fu, who has governed Nanyang for many years like him, has also returned to the imperial court after ending his tenure in Jiaozhi.

Therefore, Yang Shiqi proposed that the situation in Goryeo was very complicated and needed a virtuous person.

Zhu Gaochi met with Huang Fu.

Huang Fu in history, in the Yongle Dynasty, the etheric students served as the chief secretary of Xiangcheng and Qingyuan. Later, he moved to Jinwu's avant-garde experience, and was appreciated for his speech and politics, and was promoted to the right waiter of the Ministry of Works.

At that time, he was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Annan belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Fu was the first political envoy to announce the political envoy of Jiaozhi, and he was also promoted to the procuratorial envoy according to the procuratorial envoy.

During the 19 years of Annan's governance, he was both powerful and benevolent.

When he left office, the people wept goodbye.

For more than 40 years, he served as a scholar in Liangjing for 39 years, supervised Caoyun and Yibingtun, and was loyal and upright, upright and honest.

Today's Huang Fu has also played an important role in the process of governing Cochin.

"The construction of the railway from Cochin to Champa is so smooth, it is inseparable from the stability of the place, and it is not easy to build the railway, and there are often many contradictions and challenges in the locality, especially in the border areas such as Cochin and Champ."

Zhu Gaochi and Huang Fu were in the garden of the Wenhua Palace, and they highly recognized Huang Fu's ability.

"I dare not be ashamed."

Huang Fu said respectfully.

Zhu Gaochi changed his words and asked, "Do you understand Xinxue?" ”

"After the minister returned to the capital, he listened to two of them, and discussed them with Cao everyone, and he knew a little about fur." Huang Fu replied.

Zhu Gaochi nodded and continued: "The problem of Goryeo is not only the problem of Goryeo, but also the problem of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Cooperate with the Governor of Goryeo, including political, economic, cultural and other aspects, comprehensively consider the long-term interests and overall interests of the Ming Dynasty, coordinate the interests of all parties, maintain the stability and development of the clan system, and ultimately promote the world."

Huang Fu understood His Royal Highness the Prince's arrangement for him, although it was Yang Shiqi's exclusion of him, but from another point of view, he did this important thing well, and it was also his precious qualifications.

He is still young, and Huang Fu thinks he can afford to wait.

"I'm willing to give it a try."

"The minister plans to explore a set of clan system in Goryeo in Goryeo in three years, which is in line with the interests and needs of the Ming Dynasty."

"Okay."

Zhu Gaochi laughed happily, "I'll wait and see, waiting for the day when Aiqing returns triumphantly, and when the time comes, I will personally greet Aiqing." ”

October of the thirteenth year of Yongle.

The imperial court appointed the Prime Minister of Goryeo, who was solely responsible for the affairs of Goryeo.

Goryeo's northern army was absorbed by the Goryeo Governor's Office for many years, and Goryeo's southern army was also incorporated by the Ming Dynasty for two years, and most of the military attaches of the Goryeo Central Army were generals of the Ming Dynasty.

Hwang Bok, the prime minister of Goryeo, first met with the king of Goryeo and received a warm welcome, and then met with the elite groups from all walks of life and the two classes of Goryeo.

He went north and consulted with the governor of Goryeo for a day, and reached a partial consensus, and finally went south to inspect the whole of Goryeo, and also discussed with the new governor Cho An in Jeolla Province for a day.

Hwang Phuck summoned the major trading houses in Goryeo and communicated with them.

"The Ming Dynasty has built railways for more than 20 years, from Nuergan to Mashhad, with a total length of more than 19,000 miles of railways, and at present, only Tashkent has been built in the west, and only to Thornluwei in the east, and there are a total of more than 5,000 miles in the construction, which is also the most difficult part."

"There is a railway in the northern part of the province and a railway in the southern province, and the railway in Qinghai is already in the planning of the imperial court."

"From Shaanxi to Yunnan, from Beiping to Guangxi. Shaanxi to Shandong, Sichuan to Zhejiang, Yunnan to Laos, Guangxi to Champong, plus these railways that have been opened to traffic, and in the next five years, when the railways of Goryeo, Nuergan, and the seven western provinces are completed, the total mileage of the railways in Daming will exceed 100,000 miles. ”

"The 100,000-mile railway is the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty, and it is related to the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty.

Huang Fu's ugly words were ahead, and the businessmen's faces were complicated.

With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front and the new Prime Minister of Goryeo in the back, the businessmen already clearly knew the attitude of the imperial court, at least no one dared to oppose it at the moment.

Seeing that no one spoke to the merchants, Huang Fu said again: "The imperial court actually recognizes your merits, just like Jinzhou and Beiping at the beginning, and the speed of Beiping's development is inseparable from the supply of Jinzhou. ”

"Nowadays, too, the domestic development speed of Daming has been consistent, and it is precisely because of the continuous supply of raw materials in Goryeo that the demand for the industrialization of Daming has been guaranteed, so that it can be highly maintained."

"Therefore, the imperial court not only strengthened the soundness of the Ming law, protected your rights and interests, but also gave you more support in policy, such as the trade of Goryeo coal mines, to avoid the dumping of low-cost coal mines in Goryeo to the country, and finally the imperial court to bear the price difference, so that the Ming Industry Bureau bleed, to meet the production and sales in the mining area."

"Some of you can see that each takes what he needs and benefits each other, no matter how you think about it, first of all, you should recognize the benefits that the Ming society has brought to you, without the existence of the current Ming society, who do you sell your goods to? Where do your interests come from? ”

"Only when you figure out this truth, can you sincerely accept it, and working together for the development of the Ming society is the long-term and lasting way, and you can come to the headquarters if you have any problems and difficulties in Goryeo."

Huang Fu said harshly before, and finally said some good words, both grace and power.

After a beating, another flatbread was drawn.

Korea.

In Cheorwon-do, Gangwon-do.

Lo Kee Mine.

The largest mine in the area is not only rich in coal mines, but also high-quality iron ore in the upper layers, and the simple railways laid by the merchants themselves in the mining area, and rows of coal mines are pulled up.

The wealthy trading houses used more than a dozen new pumping steam engines to pump water day and night, and the groundwater pumped out was transported to the newly dug ditches and discharged into the rivers.

The population of Liaodong is mainly concentrated in the western Liaoning corridor and the Jinju area, so the railway is also in the northwest of Liaoxi, and the railway built from Jinju along the coast of the Yellow Sea connects to Zhenjiang Fort, and from Zhenjiang Fort to Goryeo Pyongan Metropolitan Division and Hamgyong Provincial Metropolitan Division.

The construction of the Gangwon Railway has only been one or two years, and it is estimated that more than half of the construction period will be required before the railway connecting Hamgyong Province will be completed, and it will be transported to Liaodong by rail, and then Liaodong will be transported back to China.

However, because of the distance, rail transportation has not eliminated sea transportation.

Cheolsan, a mining area around Jeongju, Pyongan Province, a mining area since ancient times, plus Hwangju in Hwanghae-do, coal mines and raw materials from south of Hamgyong-do and Gangwon Province pass through here, and finally Hongju and Taean in Chungcheong-do, Jeonju and Changheung in Jeolla Province.

There are special ships for transporting coal and iron ore, which are transported back and forth day and night, and because of the distance, the cost of transportation is not much higher than that of the railway, and the time is faster.

Therefore, the current Luji mining area attaches more importance to the construction of the railway from Gangwon Road to the west, and when this railway is completed, the transportation cost of coal mines in Luji will be greatly reduced, that is, the benefits will increase out of thin air.

In this background, when Lu Shunyi, the owner of Lu Ji, went out, the wheels of his carriage suddenly broke away and fell down the valley into the coal mine, and in the end, people only found a few remains that were devoured by wild beasts.

Lu Shunyi's family accused Wu Hong, accusing him of murder for money.

Lu Ji is a business house founded by Lu Shunyi and Wu Hong, and the two have worked together for many years, one out of the relationship in Goryeo, the other out of the relationship in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to being the first batch of business houses, but also became one of the largest coal yard owners in Goryeo.

On the grounds of agreement, Wu Hong took out a contract that Lu Shunyi's family did not know, and paid Lu Shunyi's family 5,000 yuan, and since then Lu Ji Commercial Bank has been renamed Wu Ji Commercial Bank and has become Wu Hong's own industry.

Of course, Lu Shunyi's family was not convinced, and they pointed out that they had seen the coachman on the dock, so Lu Shunyi's family speculated that the wreckage was fake except for Lu Shunyi.

The ownership of the lawsuit between the Ming and the Goryeo belongs to the Goryeo Governor's Office.

This lawsuit dragged on and on, and finally came into the hands of Jiang Binzhi, Jiang Binzhi did not come forward, but came forward to be the affairs of the Governor's Palace.

"You give me an accurate word, did you do it?"

He asked curiously.

People thought that Wu Hong sent someone to do it, Wu Hong said with a bitter face: "How can I be a person without virtue, if I really do it, I will die a good death if there are five thunders in the sky." ”

Wu Hong cursed and swore an oath.

He shook his head.

If the mining area of Luji is worth more than 100,000 yuan at present, after the train is opened, there will be no restrictions on transportation, and the output of the Luji mining area will at least increase several times, and some people even think that it is worth one million.

This is a flock of hens that lay golden eggs, hundreds of years of wealth, and their value cannot be measured by simple food stamps.

"I heard that the principal of the two of you was less than 3,000 yuan?"

Hearing the words, Wu Hong couldn't help but straighten his face.

He didn't care about Wu Hong, and his face was full of sighs.

It has only been more than ten years, and it is worth 3,000 yuan to millions of dollars, which is really incredible, which makes people blush, and things are also blushing, not only blushing, but also many people in the governor's palace.

What is it to swear a gambling curse, Lu Shunyi died suddenly, and Wu Hong got the benefit, it was not he who did it, and people thought that he did it.

Wu Hong was helpless.

His hot air balloon was also back then, and it was indeed worthless at first, and the military-industrial joint office sent himself a sum of silver, but what was the result? Hot air balloons have become a common armament in the military.

It's too hard for them to be businessmen.

Everybody's eyes on them.

Relying on this money, he came to Goryeo to start anew, and finally had the opportunity he had now, but everyone knocked on the side, hoping to get a piece of the pie from himself.

Don't they remember about the Auxiliary Legion? It's only been a few years, and I forgot about the consequences.

Wu Hong angrily divided a lot of dark stocks.

In the end, the Lu family didn't get anything, and the officials of the Governor's Mansion used the reason of making trouble, and they were locked up, punished, and expelled, and the matter came to an end, and the Lu family was powerless and had no way to tell them.

The railway was finally built around the Wu Kee Trading House.

With the construction of the railway, the value of Wu Ji Commercial Bank is rising every day, and many big businessmen knock on the side and ask Wu Hong if he has any intention of offering shares, but Wu Hong is of course unwilling.

It is better to be happy than to be happy alone.

He now has his back to the Governor's Palace, and does not take his peers seriously.

Thanks to the efforts of hundreds of thousands of eunuchs and prisoners of war, as well as the workers of the Daming Railway, the construction of railways in Goryeo was not slow, at least for the time being, although far less than in the nineteenth-century United States.

In the nineteenth century, the United States built an average of 12,300 li a year, and the highest year built more than 40,000 miles of roads, while the Ming Dynasty spent more than 20 years and gathered the strength of the whole country to build less than 100,000 li.

However, the speed of railway construction in the Ming Dynasty is not slow, and before the founding of New China, the total mileage of domestic railways was only more than 40,000 miles. Of course, the environment of the two is different, the Ming Dynasty is a stable and developed society, and China at that time was a war-torn society, so the construction of railways was very slow.

However, it is well known that with the speed of the railway, when the railway in Goryeo was opened, the bottleneck of material transportation in the north and south and east and west was broken, and the capital of many commercial banks had to be at least doubled.

Those high-quality mining areas are the best investment directions.

Countless domestic trading houses came to Goryeo to invest, and there were more and more exploration teams in the land of Goryeo, looking for mines in all the mountainous areas, and every time they found a mining area, a new large trading house would be established.

There is no shortage of money, no shortage of people, no shortage of technology, only lack of mines, only lack of land.

Some of the firms took stakes in the old firms of Goryeo, and some started from scratch on their own, and the closer the opening date of the railway, the more rapidly Goryeo's commercial capital grew, and even alarmed the imperial court.

Haizhou in Huanghai Road, and the domestic dental bank even listed the selling price of each commercial bank to the outside world.

After they evaluated their own firms, those merchants who wanted to make a fortune with this wave of dividends were willing to sell part of their capital, and there were also reasons to fight against external forces that were too greedy.

After the proprietors, shopkeepers and stewards of many domestic commercial banks come to Haizhou, they will go to the tooth shop for the first time to watch the stock prices of the commercial banks on the wooden signs.

However, there are also many firms whose names are not on the stock bank's brand, such as Wu Kee & Co.

This is the best investment object, but such a commercial bank does not let go of the share capital, which makes many large mainland commercial houses drool, so they entrust wave after wave of people to take the trouble to persuade them.

With the development of the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, capital is also expanding.

The money of the common people goes from one to two, and the capital of the merchants goes from one to twenty.

10,000 households can no longer shock the people, even if they can't earn so much money in a few lifetimes, the words to describe the rich are replaced by 100,000 yuan and 1 million yuan in the script.

The million-yuan commercial bank is no longer the top commercial bank in Daming, and the commercial bank with a capital of 100,000 yuan abounds in the mainland of Daming.

It's a very large force.

Rich to rival the country.

There were many wealthy trading houses in the Ming Dynasty.

Goryeo, an overseas land, has finally developed into a paradise of capital due to historical and cultural reasons related to China, as well as subsequent changes, the decline of power, and years of chaos.

The Ming Dynasty set up a governor, a governor, and a prime minister in Goryeo, and wanted to restrain this force as much as possible, but it was still in the hands of the Ming court.

The birth of the stock bank represents a new meaning.

The amplifier of the capital.

The "nuclear weapons" of capital. (End of chapter)
