Chapter Forty-Nine: The Correct Way to Open the Qi Fortune Value
Killing 6,000 new troops will provide you with a kill point and occasionally a luck point. For Sun Zheng, enough is enough.
As for who they commanded and how they fought, there was little difference. It doesn't prevent you from earning kill points, but you can also use it to show your heart, hit the emperor's suspicions, and gain Qin Hong's friendship, why not.
Efforts to improve people's livelihood, better improve the agricultural technology of the Ming Dynasty, and enhance the scale of industry are the correct way to open the value of luck.
Sun Zheng used the help of plug-ins to vigorously promote mechanical technology. All kinds of machinery and tools produced by Gu Yuan have become the most sought-after high-end products in the whole Ming Dynasty.
Among them, the largest sales volume and the most extensive influence are four-wheeled vehicles.
The vehicles produced by Guyuan have a lightness and carrying capacity that far exceeds their peers. The core component bearing, at present, still cannot achieve independent production. All the bearings are made by Sun Zheng himself with space, and more than a dozen models and specifications are uniformly specified, and the factory is only responsible for assembly and maintenance.
There are many similar core component products, because of this core technology, the status of solid original goods is as stable as Mount Tai. After all, nothing else can be made except this place. If you want to buy, you have to come to Guyuan.
Qin Hong promulgated a series of preferential policies. For example, if you can send a few immigrants along the way, you can arrange to pick up the goods in advance, and even give certain discounts. If you come to purchase, you can bring a certain material that Guyuan urgently needs, and at the same time guarantee a high price of purchase, you will also give a part of the discount.
Stimulated by various favorable conditions, the rapid development of Guyuan is dazzling.
In the spring of the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, the fields north of Guyuan and dozens of kilometers south of the Great Wall are full of villages, people, the sound of chickens and dogs, and cattle, horses, pigs and sheep are common.
Qin Hong did not stop recruiting immigrants, but increased his recruitment efforts. After confirming the harvest of potatoes and corn, the old man was ambitious to take advantage of the victorious footsteps of the army advancing in the Hetao to settle the settlers in the Hetao area, so as to end the history of the Hu people who were always unable to defend the Hetao area.
At the time of spring sowing, 50,000 acres of breeding fields were circled in the north of Guyuan City, and the little corn and potatoes harvested last year could only be planted so much. As long as it is harvested this year, next year, you can really let go and plant as much as you want.
The immigrants are also full of confidence, and most of them are originally displaced people who cannot survive elsewhere, thinking that the most they can do here is to ensure that they will not starve to death. Who would have thought that the government would build houses, divide land, and distribute all kinds of sharp farm tools that could not be bought with money before, and even all kinds of livestock!
Qin Hong's prestige was like the sun for a while, and there were faint signs of living Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
But Old Man Qin knew that his prestige was all a blessing from Sun Zheng. The current Qin Hong has long been completely convinced by Sun Zheng. In particular, the transfer of military power completely dispelled the deepest worries in the old man's heart.
Seeing that Sun Zheng was immersed in the study of the machine again, saying that he wanted to come up with a method of making wool into high-quality materials, the old man was eager to offer him. He knows the meaning of this thing very well, once the wool output value is stable, what Tatar Warat, the Golden Family, will have to obediently kneel down and lick my Daming's shoes!
If someone else said this, Qin Hong would at most support him mentally, say a few beautiful words, and then stay away as a neuropath. But when Sun Zheng said this, the old man was sure that he would succeed.
This young man is amazing, although he himself does not admit it, everyone guesses that he must have some kind of psychic ability!
With the connivance of Qin Hong, Sun Zheng built different important industrial bases along the Great Wall of the border, starting from Guyuan, Lanzhou, Liangzhou, and Suzhou all the way to the west. And to create a series of related industrial chains around the core industry, he wants to use this method to enhance the economic status of the border city.
Why did the Central Plains Imperial Court attach great importance to the border passes and fall again and again? The main reason for this is that the conventional wisdom is that these places are barren land, with low yields, and require constant blood transfusions from the interior to feed them. If it weren't for the Tartar invasion, this kind of place that could only be entered and exited would have been abandoned a long time ago.
Rao is surrounded by great enemies, and the statement of giving up barren land often appears in public opinion of the government and the opposition. It can be similar to the fact that if the Yongle Emperor had not insisted on moving the capital to Beijing, all the high-ranking government officials would have lived in the prosperous city of Nanjing, the wasteland in the far north, and I am afraid that they would have been lost to the Hu people to herd sheep long ago.
The reverse is the same, if these places can be self-sufficient, and even make money and turn over to the national treasury, then will they still be ignored? A place that is valued by people will naturally attract people to settle down. The more Han people lived, the threat of the Hu people would of course decrease.
With this series of industrial layouts along the edge, several fist products have been launched in just a few months. After it was put on the market, it quickly sparked a following. And Qin Hong's preferential policy for immigration has given birth to a large number of adventurers.
Among them, the most talked about is Taiyuan Qiaozui Tang Yuansheng.
That's right, it's the guy who worked as a tour guide for Sun Zheng for a few days. When attracting immigrants, it is difficult to convince the people to resettle their land. It's generally not that you can't get by, who wants to leave their hometown and run away to fight with their beard?
Sun Zheng launched a network of contacts from all over the world and recruited a large number of people who could speak the Tao to do propaganda. Tang Yuansheng was very unsatisfactory in Taiyuan, and in the past few years, because of his relationship with the master, Lao He has taken care of him many times. Now that the master wants to use people, a few words of hot wine were poured into his stomach, Tang Yuansheng's brain was hot, he accepted twenty taels of silver, patted his butt and entered the training class.
After several publicity runs, Tang Yuansheng found that he could also make some benefits by pulling immigrants. So when I sent people off at the beginning of spring, I simply ran to Suzhou, the northernmost place.
At that time, Sun Zheng was taking care of the newly built new factory in Suzhou, which did not grow crops much, but it was very suitable for growing hemp. All kinds of flax, jute, and green hemp are all over the mountains, and the locals generally harvest hemp silk and use it to spin hemp rope or weave it into sacks for money.
Sun Zheng adapted measures to local conditions and built a flax textile factory. The original coarse linen products are discarded, directly industrially degreased, and mechanically spun to make wide defatted linen. As soon as the finished product came out, it was simply blinding. No one believed that such a beautiful and comfortable muslin was made of the same material as the coarse embryo of a sack.
At this time, the value of silk is between ten and fifteen taels per horse, and the price of ordinary white cloth is about two cents of silver per horse. Sun Zheng set the market terminal price for linen, which is fifteen taels. And the ex-factory price he gave Tang Yuansheng was only five taels! And because of the old acquaintance of the two, he was allowed to take credit.
Tang Yuansheng used a four-wheeled cart full of 100 pieces of linen and went straight to Henan, passing by Kaifeng, originally just wanted to sell a few horses for a little bit of coiling, but as soon as it appeared, it caused a scramble, and the 100 pieces of linen were sold out on the same day. After deducting the cost and dart game fees, the net profit of 800 taels is in hand!
Then Lao Tang was in a magic obstacle, and directly took out all the eight hundred taels of profits to recruit the homeless, and when he went to Suzhou for the second time, the convoy brought nearly a thousand people.
According to Qin Hong's policy, he was allowed to buy a piece of linen at the factory price for each head. On the second trip, I pulled a full 1,000 horses and earned 10,000 taels of silver!
Tang Yuansheng returned to his hometown in brocade, causing a sensation in the whole city of Taiyuan. This was followed by the successive tide makers vying for the immigration line from all over the world, which greatly promoted the speed of immigration.
The loss of a large number of people caused tension among the governors of Shanxi, and several chapters of impeachment were issued to the emperor in a row. was sprayed by Qin Hong, he has no ability, and no one is allowed to find a way to live, do you want the officials to force the people to rebel?
With such a big hat buttoned down, who can withstand it? Since then, no one has dared to squeak, and the displaced people are also unstable in the local area anyway, so it's better to leave.
And what really made linen famous was the batch of fabrics and ready-to-wear that Sun Zheng sent to the palace.
The clothes of this year, out of some kind of simple thinking, even the emperor and empress cannot wear slim clothes. The batch of ready-to-wear clothes sent by Sun Zheng to the palace was completely tailored according to the figure of the emperor and the crown prince. From seasons, layouts, to holiday dresses, there are hundreds of sets per person.
These clothes, especially the comfort of intimate clothing, directly caused the emperor's family to fall. Immediately, it was decided to let the Suzhou Textile Factory undertake the tribute cloth and provide 1,000 horses to the palace every year. The emperor was still embarrassed, but Sun Zheng didn't care at all. A thousand horses is just a few days' production, and it's not a matter at all.
Branded with the name of tribute, it is equivalent to the emperor's endorsement, and it is really a hell if it is not popular.
Don't look at the monthly output of more than 10,000 yuan, but if you really put it on the market, you will find that there are so many rich people in the Ming Dynasty. 10,000 horses a month is simply not enough to see. Of course, most of them eventually went to the south, and eventually with the export of silk, magnets, tea and other Ming specialties, the price of linen in the market rose again and again, becoming a luxury that surpassed silk.
The huge profits have made Sun Zheng's available funds more and more abundant, and the industrial layout has become more and more smooth. Small workshops have sprung up on the Northland border, scrambling to be the first to go out. Naturally attracted the attention of those wealthy families, these people have no other skills, but their sense of smell for money is incomparable. Soon came to the door with a shy face, and all kinds of means came out, just to get a piece of the pie.
Sun Zheng does not refuse to come, as long as you are willing to invest money, countless projects are at your disposal. There's just one thing, you have to build the factory in the north, so that everyone has a common interest, and if the north is uneasy, everyone will end up together.
With just this hand, more than half of the various accusations and impeachments against Qin Hong in the court were reduced.
The old man admired Sun Zheng's methods more and more, if he had this ability, why bother to spend decades in the sea.
With the blossoming of various industries everywhere, the value of luck is rising, and Sun Zheng himself is also happy.
In the autumn harvest season, 10,000 acres of corn and 40,000 acres of potatoes were harvested.
Thousands of merchants from all over the world were invited to the harvest site to witness the small mallets with a yield of more than 800 per mu. I also tasted the delicacies with a yield of more than 2,000 catties per mu. There is no need to bother at all, and the first reaction of all merchants is to buy seeds and bring them back.
It's a pity that except for a few friendly units with outstanding immigration solicitation work, who received a small amount of gifts, the rest of the people couldn't get money to buy them. If you want to buy it, I'll talk about it next year!
Sun Zheng was pleasantly surprised to find that in the past few days, the luck value suddenly soared to more than six thousand.
Maybe God thinks he is too arrogant, and before he can be happy for a few days, the news brought by stepping on the snow poured him a cold heart.
