"Kill all, all participants, not a single one left."

Xiao Jian opened his mouth coldly, and suddenly one by one, the brocade-clothed guards were like wolves and tigers, and they pounced directly on the villagers of Baijia Village in front of them.

Turning the day, with the end of the imperial examination, Daming rarely fell into silence.

It's just that in this quiet, there is a hint of dead silence.

In the past two days, Hu Weiyong has been trying to constantly investigate the movements of Zhu Biao and Xiao Han.

As a result, one of the two brothers was busy teaching new agricultural talents, and the other was being taught and arranged by Queen Ma.

It's as if everyone had forgotten about him.

This made Hu Weiyong feel even more frightened, what was more frightening than the knife on his body was that he knew that the other party had targeted you, but he didn't know when the knife would fall on his neck.

"Xiao Wu, there really hasn't been any movement in Jinyiwei recently?"

Hu Weiyong looked at the subordinates in front of him in the secret room and said.

"Master, we have confirmed many times, the Jinyi guards are all in their yamen, and there are not many who have come out to act."

Xiao Wu reluctantly spoke.

"That's not right."

"It shouldn't be, the prince and Xiao Han have done so much, don't they really have any thoughts about me."

"Nope."

"We have to prepare early, let them all hurry, if the time is right, I will leave immediately."

Hu Weiyong said.

"Master, why don't you leave now?"

Xiao Wu was a little puzzled.

"Humph!"

"Do you think I don't want to, sir?"

"Now the Ming royal family is preparing for the prince's wedding."

"The gate of Jinling City is regarded stricter by His Majesty than the harem, isn't it looking for death when you go out now?"

Hu Weiyong snorted coldly.

British Mansion.

"Your Highness, now that the Jinshi of all parties have basically entered their posts."

"Our secret guard, have you arranged to prepare for Hu Weiyong's move?"

Jiang You asked at Xiao Han.

"Don't worry, wait for Brother Tong to come back."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to get married in a while, and now the blood is not good, so I have to change the date to avoid bad luck."

Xiao Han said with a smile.

"When the prince's wedding is over, immediately join forces with Jinyiwei to do it."

"Hu Weiyong must not be given a chance to react and escape."

Xiao said coldly.

"Poof!"

Ruoyi, who was sweeping the floor on the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard Xiao Han's words.

"Ruoyi, what are you laughing at?"

Xiao Han raised his eyebrows.

"Your Highness, are you not giving Lord Hu a chance to react, or not giving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a chance to react."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't see blood at his wedding, if you want to avoid bad luck, you don't need it?"

"You hurry up and do it, because you are afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will react and stop you."

Ruoyi said with a smile.

"Huh?"

"Is my purpose so obvious?"

Xiao Han laughed awkwardly.

"Your Highness, you have to write your face here, but don't trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince afterwards."

Ruoyi said with a smile.

"Is it really that obvious?"

Xiao Han looked at Jiang You again and asked.

"Indeed... It's obvious. ”

Jiang You also coughed dryly.

"Okay then, it doesn't matter."

"As long as it's fast enough, it's obvious that others won't be able to react."

Xiao Han spread his hands.

It's true that he is a little unauthentic in doing this, but he can't help it, his health is not good, so he has to take medicine for two days to make up for it.

Queen Ma should be very happy, and Zhu Biao should also understand.

What?

Why don't you discuss with Zhu Biao?

Consult?

Wouldn't it be better to put it in front and push it back together?

How does this work?

The prince's marriage is a major event of the country, and everyone can feel at ease when it falls early.

"Your Highness! The Ministry of Industry Shangshu asked to see him. ”

At this moment, the voice of the guards outside the door came in.

"Let him in."

Xiao Han opened his mouth lightly, and he also had some doubts in his heart.

During this time, the development of its own printing industry chain can be said to be in full swing, and several production lines can be completed every day.

In this case, what can you do to find yourself?

Could it be that the displaced people are still demanding a strike and a wage increase?

Unlikely, right?

This group of people lives entirely on the relief of the Ming Dynasty, and they can have a job with a high income, but they are all so motivated.

If Da Ming directly left them alone, then few would survive.

"Your Highness."

Shan Anren saluted Xiao Han.

"Master Shan, what's the matter?"

"Why did you suddenly come looking for me, did there go wrong with the construction?"

Xiao Han said with some curiosity.

"This... It's not a big deal, and the lower officials shouldn't have come to trouble His Highness. ”

"It's mainly a group of businessmen who reacted to the birth of my Daming paper mill."

Shan Anren explained to Xiao Han.

"Merchant?"

"Are they going to fight a price war with Bengong?"

"Okay, let's reduce as much as they want, anyway, their cost can't be lower than ours."

Xiao Han smiled, feeling amused.

A few businessmen, playing business war with Xiao Han, isn't this self-defeating?

What is the difference between this and the Dazuo in later generations, who exported to the five streams at the same time?

The grasshopper shakes the tree, which is ridiculous.

"No, they saw that the output of our paper mill was too high, and the printing mill couldn't digest it for a while, so they wanted to buy from us."

Shan Anren said to Xiao Han.

"Sell."

"Why isn't this sold?"

"The price they gave was too low?"

Xiao Han was slightly stunned.

"Your Highness, it's that the price they gave is too high."

"The price they gave is going to catch up with the price we originally formulated."

"They even hope that we won't go below this price in the future, so that as long as we can't sell it, they will take it all."

"Although the people at the paper mill agreed that they could make more money by making a deal in this situation, there was no reason not to do it."

"But..."

"Xia Guan thinks that businessmen will never come to donate money to my Daming in this way, I'm afraid there will be something to say about it."

"That's why I came to ask Your Highness before."

Shan Anren said to Xiao Han.

"You're doing a great job."

"Go down, it's none of your business here."

Xiao Han said lightly.

"The subordinate obeys."

Shan Anren responded and slowly retreated.

"Jiang You, send someone to the Market Transaction Management Department and check for me the production cost or purchase price of those paper merchants."

Xiao Han immediately commanded Jiang You.

"No!"

Jiang You immediately went down to make arrangements.

"Your Highness, are you planning to punish these merchants?"

Ruoyi was a little curious.

"Punishment is not enough, it should be said that persecution is more appropriate."

Xiao Han smiled and shook his head.

"Wind and snow!"

As soon as Shan Anren and Jiang You left, Zhu Biao pushed the door in.

"What's wrong?"

"Aren't you supposed to be being urged by your mother to prepare for the big wedding now?"

Xiao Han was slightly stunned.

"Ahem!"

"That's the case, when I got married, my father and mother both thought that the prince's wedding should be bigger, to reflect the momentum of my Ming Dynasty."

"But I took a look at the remaining Daming treasure banknotes of our household department, and found that after this period of war, land reclamation and construction, it is really not enough to do too much."

"At this time, my father suddenly heard that a group of businessmen went to the paper mill to send you money, so he asked me to divide the spoils... Oh no, let me ask. ”

Zhu Biao coughed lightly.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to share much of this stolen goods."

"Those merchants' requests, I'm not going to accept them."

Xiao Han shook his head and said.

"Huh?"

"Why is that?"

"Oh, I understand, you think those merchants are bidding too low, and they want to go even higher to seek more benefits for our Daming."

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and then showed a sudden realization.

"No!"

"On the contrary, I think they are bidding too high and intend to go lower."

Xiao Han shook his head again and said his decision.

"Huh?"

Zhu Biao was taken aback, and then stretched out his hand and put it on Xiao Han's forehead.

"I don't have a fever."

"What's wrong with you today?"

"If you have money or not, is this something you Xiao Fengxue can do?"

Zhu Biao opened his mouth in confusion.

"Go aside."

"I'm serious, in my eyes, Daming treasure banknotes are just a way and means to achieve the transformation of Daming's industry, not the ultimate goal."

"The merchants saw that my paper mill was producing paper at a lower cost, and they were afraid that I would put it on the market and steal their business at a low price."

"So come ahead of schedule and hopefully let us raise the price as well."

Xiao Han explained to Zhu Biao.

"You mean, you hope to spread all over Daming at low prices, completely squeeze out those high-priced merchants, and let the people of Daming get actual benefits?"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and asked.

"No, no, no!"

"I'm not a good person, letting the people get benefits is just a side effect, I don't want to really force those businessmen to death."

"After all, when our Daming treasure banknotes get rid of the restrictions on food, I still count on those businessmen to import our Daming treasure banknotes to neighboring countries to form a treasure money hegemony."

Xiao Han continued to shake his head, a glint in his eyes.

"And what are you for?"

Zhu Biao looked confused, Xiao Han's operation, he couldn't understand it at all.

"I'll give a price that's much lower than what he's asking for, but it's going to be higher than their cost price, so that even if they sell it at our price, they'll make a profit, but they'll make a lot less."

Xiao Han looked at Zhu Biao and said.

"Isn't this just to keep the price down for the people?"

Zhu Biao was even more confused.

"As I said, it's a side effect."

"In the beginning, they will make less money, causing a group of businessmen to go bankrupt and become destitute."

"But there will definitely be businessmen who are not willing to decline, and they will study the reasons for the low price and low cost of our Daming paper mill."

"And our Daming factory is there, it is not difficult for them to see clearly, after that, in order to survive, they have to choose to learn the model of our Daming paper mill production line."

"And then spontaneously transformed from a small workshop to an industry."

"And this is my purpose, to enter the game, to use our Daming factory as a tiger, to drive the tiger and the wolf, or rather, to feed the tiger and the wolf, and force those businessmen to progress, and then drive our Daming industry to complete the industrialization, forming a crushing advantage for the surrounding countries."

"And such a large production capacity, it is almost impossible for me to digest it internally, even if we don't do anything, those businessmen will go to Daming to find a way to sell, and send our Daming treasure banknotes together with our Daming products."

Xiao Han raised his head and spoke.

"Wonderful!"

"If we can really do this step, once those countries form a dependence on our Daming commodities, large-scale trade, even if our Daming encounters natural disasters and man-made disasters, you can directly draw blood from those surrounding countries through treasure money to ensure that Daming is not lost!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a long time, and finally reacted and laughed.

"How long does it take to get to this point?"

Zhu Biao then asked Xiao Han.

"If it's just around the paper printing industry, maybe, a few years, if it's a lot of industries, maybe, more than ten years, decades."

Xiao Han thought for a moment.

Zhu Biao: ...

"Will I be able to see it again in my lifetime?"

The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth twitched slightly.

"How would I know?"

Xiao Han rolled his eyes.

He didn't have Liu Bowen pinching his fingers and counting those two times, since he crossed over, it is certain that the future has changed.

At least the development process of China has been advanced, and the obstacles to development have been cleared to the greatest extent with the power of one person.

But when and how long will it take for industrialization to be realized, and whether Xiao Han can do it when he is alive, Xiao Han himself can't say.

Not to mention, if it can reach the level of an industrial country after the first industrial revolution in a few decades, Xiao Han already feels that it has developed well.

"Okay, let's take one step at a time."

"In any case, our Daming has been ahead of the surrounding countries in terms of vision and footsteps."

"At least in the next few decades, my Ming will become stronger and stronger than those neighboring countries."

Zhu Biao nodded, he was not in a hurry.

Even if you already know how to develop, you can't be in a hurry, otherwise it will be easy to pull the eggs when you take a big step.

Many times, Zhu Biao really felt that Xiao Han was maddened to take things out little by little like squeezing ointment, but in terms of actual results, every time Xiao Han made a move, it was just right.

If he really explained everything to Zhu Biao at one time, Zhu Biao felt that he might really be in a hurry.

This is also the reason why, although he is often anxious, he never urges Xiao Han.

In Zhu Biao's opinion, the blueprint is more reliable in Xiao Han's mind than in his mind.

"Fengxue, the Ming version of the Tui En Order you told me last time, when do you think it is more appropriate for us to implement it?"

Zhu Biao was silent for a while, looked at Xiao Han and asked.

"There's no rush to this."

"It's only been a few years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty."

"All industries have not yet recovered, and the vitality has not yet accumulated enough."

"The essence of the Tui En Order is to give those people a side platform, and to achieve the purpose of dividing the strength of the side lineage."

"And now the world is in turmoil, the family is powerful, the rich businessmen have in fact accumulated a lot of heritage, and they are still firmly in the hands of the descendants."

"Those families whose heads are old and hesitant about their own sons may be able to push the boat along with the water."

"But for those who are young and vigorous and have not been in power for a long time, in order to prevent the side from grabbing their power with the support of our Daming, they may directly flip the table."

"More importantly, our Ming Dynasty is now in the period of reforming the imperial examination, although the new imperial examination model has been implemented under the toughness of the imperial court."

"However, the foothold is not stable, has not yet been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, if at this time to further promote this Ming Tui En order for the powerful family, these people are resentful, with a high probability, I am afraid that they will directly choose to set off a turmoil at all costs, which is not conducive to the development of our Daming."

"We must at least wait until the new model of the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty is completely completed, and the families in the court, the wealthy merchants, the poor families, and the common people can each occupy a certain position, form a stable situation, and all aspects of the industry begin to develop under the leadership of the imperial court, before we can take the next step."

"Otherwise, with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, our Huaixi nobles can easily suppress Ying Tianfu, but in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, those magistrates who belong to the family are afraid that they will directly choose to rebel with the family heroes."

"If Wang Baobao moves his troops south at this time, the Ming Dynasty will become a chaotic war again."

Xiao Han shook his head and explained to Zhu Biao.

"That is, to sum up, we need to do two preconditions now."

"First, we have established the reform of the imperial examination to ensure that we can generally control and maintain stability over the yamen at all levels of the Ming Dynasty."

"Second, you have to build your industries in all walks of life first, so that our Ming court has enough influence on all walks of life."

Zhu Biao's eyes narrowed and asked.

"It is precisely in this way that only if we can complete the integration of the whole country, and firmly grasp the politics and economy, can we not be afraid of anyone to turn the table with us."

"Or, at that time, there will not be a few powerful families who will stupidly jump out and challenge Daming."

"The soldiers who surrendered without a fight, not now, with the elite of our Ming army and the courage of the soldiers, they will face the resistance of all parties and fight hard."

"After all, if it's really chaotic, it's our Ming Dynasty's national strength that will be lost, it's not worth it, it's not worth it."

Xiao Han smiled.

"Alas! When our father was Zhu Chongba, who was herding cattle, he had to endure it again and again for those rich and powerful people. ”

"I didn't expect that when our family boarded the Ninth Five-Year Plan, we would have to make a false deal with them."

Zhu Biao shook his head and sighed lightly.

"Huh!"

"Man, if you want to live in the world, isn't it the art of compromise?"

"Those who are stronger than you and higher than you must be forbearing, and those who are inferior to you and below you must be accommodating."

"After all, at any time, only if the interests are sufficient and the conditions are right, there is a need to do it, and violent oppression for no reason will only unite those who are originally inferior to you."

"Many people in those powerful families don't understand this, and they always oppress the people excessively, and as a result, Shengsheng forced our father from Zhu Chongba to Zhu Yuanzhang, causing many old men who were originally high above to expose their corpses to the wilderness."

"If it weren't for the fact that they snatched the last bite of our family's food back then, how could there be today's Daming in this world."

"Let them jump for a few more days, anyway, in the palm of our Da Ming, sooner or later they can be pinched to death, there is no need to stab themselves with a thorn and prick their own blood."

Xiao Han also sighed lightly, his eyes deep.
