Chapter 726: Competition and Interests
Accompanied by Wu Zhongming, Zheng Yu submitted the Kanhe received from the Shandong Metropolitan Division to the Yamen of the Bonidu Division, and the principal of the Kefang learned that it was an officer from Shandong, and personally came out to greet him warmly.
Although the two sides are not in the same department, there is also a gap in rank, but after all, Bonitoshi is overseas, and most of them are very enthusiastic about domestic visitors, and they often communicate.
Although Zheng Yu is not a high-ranking military attaché, he is also a general, and he left the province for no reason, especially to go to sea, no matter what the reason, he needs to file with the local capital yamen.
Then get the Kanhe issued by the Yamen of the Shandong Metropolitan Division, sign in the Bonidu Division, and then return to Shandong with the seal mud covered with the Bonidu Division, you need to go to the Provincial Capital Yamen for verification.
Under normal circumstances, there will be no problems, and no one will specifically check it, after all, it is such a long distance, but theoretically, the daily management of Bonidus, as well as the data of various regulations, will be sent back to China on a regular basis.
Even if Zheng Yu cheated and did not really come to Boni, then Boni Dusi must not have a record of Zheng Yu's local registration, and according to the regulations, it can be found.
However, it is one thing in theory, and in fact it is the same thing, there is a policy, there are countermeasures, as long as you are willing to specialize, people's creativity is unlimited, so there is never perfect management.
Because of the enthusiasm of the servant, the three of them had a meal in the city.
After the meal, Wu Zhongming took Zheng Yu back to the manor to rest for a while, and in the afternoon he took Zheng Yu to visit his land, including some woodland.
Early the next morning, Wu Zhongming took several long-term workers from his family, equipped with spears, longbows, short guns, bird guns, and all kinds of supplies, including kettles, knives, long knives, etc.
Riding on the horses in the manor, one for each person, and two pack horses, plus Wu Zhongming's eldest son, who was less than ten years old, and several neighbors next door, a group of more than ten people was also lively.
After riding for two hours and looking at the sky, they found an open place to set up camp.
Wu Zhongming, Zheng Yu and several other neighbors got together to chat and discuss the situation of prey, Boni has many wild animals, many of which are not available in China, and of course there are many that Boni does not have in China.
"It's amazing that there are no horses in the world."
Zheng Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"Actually, there are no horses in the south." The owner of the manor next door to Wu Zhongming was also a soldier before, and his position before quitting the army was a sentry officer, and he began to study these years.
After a long period of prosperity, he began to pursue a higher level, and many of the couplets around him were written by him.
Zheng Yu was suspicious: "You mean the Liangguang region? ”
The man nodded and said with a smile: "There were no horses in the Liangguang region at the earliest, but horses were the main land transportation at that time, there were no railways at that time, and the Liangguang region itself did not produce horses, until Qin Shi Huang sent a large army to the south, although Zhao Tuo established himself in the South Yue Kingdom, but it did play a huge role in promoting the development of productive forces in the south at that time, not only brought advanced systems and culture, but also brought rich materials, including horses in the Central Plains. ”
Hearing this answer, Zheng Yu didn't know whether to believe it or not, after all, there had been horses in the Liangguang region for a long time, but people never thought about where these horses came from in the first place.
"Many species have been transmitted through exchanges, including many food sources in the Ming Dynasty, which have been introduced from abroad very early, not only food, but also good tools, knowledge and so on."
"Therefore, the Ming Dynasty can have today's achievements, in addition to the development of industrialization, there are frequent exchanges with other regions, which not only promotes the development of the local area, but also obtains the absorption of civilization, and its own civilization has also been more soundly supplemented."
"The so-called more developed the economy, the more open the civilization, the more open the civilization, and the more frequent the exchanges, which is the inevitable phenomenon of the development of things, and it can even be said the other way around." The man spoke at length.
Zheng Yu, who had just come into contact with this person, was full of incredulity.
Soon after, the long-term workers set up tents and prepared the food they brought one by one, Wu Zhongming invited everyone to dinner, and after a rich lunch, everyone officially embarked on the hunting process.
The campfire in the evening, the food source is the harvest in the afternoon.
Then they camped for the night, and the next morning, the crowd began to return.
Later, Wu Zhongming led Zheng Yu to the largest city of Boni Dusi, which is also the place where he went back to the Yamen of Dusi, and held a grand banquet in the best hotel in the city and accompanied by the locals.
Zheng Yu told some stories about the journey with Wu Zhongming to follow His Royal Highness the King of the County, and the locals also told some local anecdotes, and all parties at the banquet were very happy and had a great exchange.
After another day, Wu Zhongming accompanied Zheng Yu to see the life of the manor owners in other areas of Bonidusi, and had a warm exchange.
For half a month, Zheng Yu was already very familiar with Bonidusi.
Not only did he go to many places, but he also made a lot of friends, at least the next time he came back, even if Wu Zhongming was not there, he could find someone to take refuge in temporarily.
"What a treasure."
Because of many years of military camp life in the seven western provinces, Zheng Yu has accumulated a lot of vacations, and the holidays in the army can be accumulated, and there is no talk of zero, so Zheng Yu's vacation is very long.
But after all, he was going to leave, Zheng Yu was in the room, and Wu Zhongming and the two had a conversation.
The lord of the manor has money.
This money comes from the land, although it is not as good as the factory, but thousands of acres of land, although the long-term workers are poor, but it is enough for the family of the owner of the manor to live a decent life.
It is the premise of the industrial revolution in Western society - market demand.
No matter what the original intentions of the West were, but for a hundred years, batch after batch of poor people were exiled to the New World, and by virtue of their tenacious vitality and the great difference in civilization between the two sides, these poor people gradually established one settlement after another.
This is also the reason why the number of British immigrants in the New World is more than ten times that of France.
It is true that France is more civilized than England, but because of this, the French people are generally richer and more peaceful than England, and no one wants to leave their homeland, but England is different.
The poorer you are, the more people go.
Especially when the initial market was established and the phenomenon of sheep eating people occurred, the British people could not survive anymore, and taking the initiative to go to the New World was the only choice, leaving only a miserable life.
Just like at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the common people who couldn't survive spontaneously broke into the eastern part of the country, bringing a population base to the prosperity of the Northeast.
Because of the huge gap in civilization, the settlements established by immigrants began to have wider fields, the abundance of food, the need for trade, and the rise of bazaars.
Bazaars sprung up, and towns were slowly established, stimulating a larger economic and trade cycle and contributing to an increase in influence.
A tribal civilization that has no armor technology, no horses, and no iron-smelting industry can be an opponent of feudal forces, armor, weapons, and firearms.
Huge emerging markets were born, which stimulated the development of trade, upgraded the industrial circulation system, and formed a qualitative change.
In short, there are more land resources, more landlords, more landlords, more consumption power, more consumption power, more consumption power, the market will become bigger, the market will become bigger, the factory will be born, the factory will be born, and the bottlenecks encountered in the expansion of production in all walks of life will be solved one by one, so the industrial revolution will appear.
This is the same truth.
Including the achievements of later generations, it is also a phenomenon of this set.
It is from the world that it has obtained exchanges, and with the world's trade system, it has also increased its resources, bringing in cheap and high-quality ores and oil and gas from all over the world, and producing all kinds of primary industrial products and selling them to the world.
Zheng Yu did not understand these profound economic theories, but he had traveled to many places, seen the situation in China, and also seen the changes in the seven western provinces, including the northern Tianzhu region.
From the changes in the land of Boni, Zheng Yu saw that a new atmosphere was being born.
The people here are wealthy.
Of course, this affluence refers to groups like Wu Zhongming, who have cultivated a vast consumer population with spending power by relying on the large-scale well system and the large-scale well system optimized overseas.
Although the total population of Boni is small, there are hundreds of thousands of estate owners, direct and indirect long-term and short-term workers, affecting at least millions of people, including most of the indigenous population of Boni.
The scope of Bonidusi's administration includes the original Sulu Three Kingdoms, as well as the Wenlang Mashen region in the south, because of the dispersion of tribes, there is no detailed population data, such a vast area, the population is about seven or eight million.
If you add Sumatra Island in the west, the Old Port Propaganda Division and other areas, the entire indigenous population is about 10 million.
The backward civilization system could not compete with the Ming Dynasty, and the promotion of the Ming dynasty's clan system played a great role in the stability of overseas regions.
Stability, abundance, law, system, culture.
The premise of the same economic take-off is in place, Zheng Yu believes that the development of Bonidusi will not be worse than that of the Tianzhu area, and even because of the more blank, maybe the development will be better, after all, the power and cultural differences in the Tianzhu area are too many and too mixed.
"It would be nice if His Royal Highness the King of the County could divide this place."
Zheng Yu asked tentatively.
"Huh?"
Wu Zhongming was stunned and didn't react.
Zheng Yu explained: "You and I both know that His Royal Highness the King of the County is not willing to be down-to-earth and unrestrained, so he has been reluctant to return to Beijing for many years, but people always have to face reality, so the way of the King of Toyama is the best way for His Royal Highness the King of the County." ”
"What about the seven western provinces, or the Tianzhu region?"
Wu Zhongming was a little reluctant in his heart, but he also knew that he was nothing, the seven western provinces were so big, and the Tianzhu region was even bigger, just pick a random place, it was not much better than Boni.
Zheng Yu shook his head.
The Ming court was very disgusted with the vassal king, and the king of Toyama was able to successfully divide the feud, in addition to the reason of Emperor Taizong, more because the fief of the king of Toyama was far overseas, and it was in the front line of the remnants of the natives of Daying Island, such as Toyama.
Coupled with the environment and culture of Oeijima, as well as the complex situation, King Toyama was unable to resist the imperial court and could only play the role of stabilizing the region.
However, the seven western provinces are different, they are connected to the mainland, and with the favorable geographical environment, the main communication with the country can only rely on the corridor area, and it is very easy to establish itself as a country, so the imperial court will never agree to set up a vassal king in the seven western provinces.
The seven western provinces have become one under the governance of the Ming Dynasty for many years, not that the local areas have become integrated, but the culture has become unified, and there is a basis for great unification.
The Tianzhu region is even more unlikely.
The richness of the land in the Tianzhu area has made the Daming Industrial Bureau and the private commercial banks break through, and the fierce competition between the two sides in the local area, no one has made concessions, and they can see the future potential of the Tianzhu area.
In the north, there is a railway plan from Samarkand to Tianzhu North that is being discussed, and in the east, there is a plan for the Nanyang Railway to penetrate into the southern Tianzhu region, and the imperial court will not agree to set up a vassal king in the Tianzhu area.
The ten-year immigration plan of Daying Island has been summarized, and the next main immigration direction of the imperial court is the Tianzhu area.
Jedo Island has a great reputation.
Although it is an island, the land area is very large, and I heard that the land area is ten times that of Boni!
And for such a huge area of the island, according to years of exploration, the local tribal population does not exceed one million, probably more than 700,000.
What is it?
It's a huge treasure trove.
However, it is precisely because the area is too huge and the population is indeed too small, although the potential is very huge, and even relying on local advantages, it is already a shocking achievement that private trading houses can defeat the coal and iron ore resources in the north in the South Seas.
But compared to the current Boni, hundreds of thousands of manor owners, this is the best fiefdom, and it is more mature.
Moreover, the Jedao is to the south of Boni, if the king of the county can seal this place, wouldn't it indirectly hold the Jedao hostage?
Zheng Yu didn't tell his plan in full, but only picked some things to convince Wu Zhongming, Wu Zhongming thought for a moment and reluctantly agreed with Zheng Yu's idea.
It's not because of the separation, but because of the relationship with the county king.
Wu Zhongming could not betray the king of the county.
Because the king of the county did not feel sorry for himself.
Zheng Yu left Boni, Wu Zhongming was speechless for a long time, can the king of the county really succeed in dividing Boni?
Agricultural technology is very developed in the Ming Dynasty, and it has been advantageous since ancient times.
In the rubber manor that arose in Nanyang, workers collected seeds, stored and transported, germinated, transplanted, tended and cultivated rootstocks, and carried out soil preparation, soil improvement, planting, replanting, fertilization and irrigation of the rubber plantation.
In the same way as farming, large rubber gardens have replaced the traditional cash crops of the South Seas.
Rubber estates can be seen everywhere in Cha Am Division, Hua Hin Division, Sukhothu Division, Chiang Rai Division, Chiang Mai Division, Mae Phong Division, etc., and even in areas such as the Jeddah Domain.
This is the confidence of the Nanyang businessmen to completely defeat the Daming Gongju in the rubber industry, just as the merchants of the Jedao defeated the coal and iron miners in the Senan Goryeo area under the Daming Gongdao system.
Shopping malls are like battlefields, and the right time, place and people are also indispensable.
The emperor guaranteed a level playing field.
Local resource advantages.
Stronger interpersonal relationships on the land.
It is the right time, the right place, and the right people.
A large number of absorbed indigenous long-term workers have been working in the rubber manor for a long time, and every time the workload is busy, the rubber manor will absorb a large number of short-term workers from the surrounding area to enter the rubber manor to take latex.
Then the collection, coagulation and tableting of natural fresh latex and gel begin.
In the process of dehydration, granulation and drying of fresh latex, long-term workers are used for positions that require certain skills, and management positions must be Ming talents, which is the bottom line drawn by the Ministry of Workers' and People's Union.
Relative support for emerging industries.
With limited profits, in order to maximize the spread and promote the development of productivity, the merchants of Nanyang were disguised to agree to the demand of the merchants of Nanyang to start using cheap local labor.
The ordinary workers of the Daming Industrial Bureau have risen to two yuan and five dimes a month.
And all over the world, especially in overseas areas, there are countless cheap livestock that can work hard as long as they can eat enough, and put an end to the phenomenon of illegal workers in the Ming trade system, which is not only the main work of the Ministry of Workers' and People's Union, but also the thing that the Ming court prevents.
Putting an end to bad money and driving out good money is also a favorable slogan for the Daming Industry Bureau to deal with private commercial banks.
With the expansion of the rubber industry, the role of rubber has become more and more prominent, and all walks of life have begun to use rubber, not only the factories where rubber was directly born, including shipyards, steam engine factories, etc. have begun to get involved in rubber.
The annual surge in the rubber industry has directly stimulated the nerves of the Daming Industrial Bureau.
The first failure in energy competition, the second failure in emerging industrial competition, the current Daming Industry Bureau is eager to win the Tianzhu market.
However, in order to win the Tianzhu market, the land passage advantage of the seven western provinces is not as good as the sea route, but the scale of the private commercial banks in the Nanyang is getting bigger and bigger, and the power is getting stronger and stronger, which has become an obstacle on the road of the expansion and development of the Tianzhu market by the Daming Industry Bureau.
After all, the Goryeo area and the Dayingdo area are mature places.
The Goryeo region has provided the Daming Industry Bureau with an incremental era of 30 years, and now it has entered the stock era, and the development has begun to become slow, but the Daming Industry Bureau is getting bigger and bigger, and it needs more benefits.
Taking the Goryeo region as a mirror, Daying Island has provided more than ten years of incremental era for the Daming Industry Bureau, and in the next ten years, the Daming Industry Bureau must find a new dividend era, that is, Tianzhu.
"Whoever masters the market of Tianzhu and the regional resources of Tianzhu will be able to grasp the incremental dividends of at least fifty years in the next year."
Han Qi, the chief treasurer of the Daming Industry Bureau, delivered an important speech at the highest meeting of the Daming Industry Bureau system.
Everyone is gearing up.
Everyone is feeling the crisis. (End of chapter)
