Chapter 176: Increase the mutual market and squeeze out the remnants
"And where have they gone now?"
Zhu Biao squinted his eyes and asked.
"Probably in Yueguo, but now their whereabouts are not stable, and the personnel are still very scattered."
"At this time, they seem to have learned of the fact that Yue Guo was a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, and they are preparing to leave."
Xiao Han spoke lightly.
Yue Guo.
On a barren mountain.
"Tenai's!"
"These soft bones of Yue Guo can even agree to such conditions."
Xiao Wu said angrily.
"Mr. Five, instead of worrying about these meaningless established facts, it is better to complete the plan quickly."
"The master said, since the Yue country has returned to the Ming Dynasty, he will definitely not be able to stay for a long time, although you have nothing to do, but it must have attracted the attention of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty must be searching in the dark, he has already found another way out, and asked Mr. Five to transfer with us."
The lone wolf faced Xiao Wudao.
"Humph!"
"I hope this profiteer didn't lie to me, otherwise..."
Xiao Wu snorted coldly.
In Daming, there is a dark line left by Hu Weiyong, although Xiao Wu and others are street rats, but in the local area, they can be regarded as hands and eyes, and many things that are impossible to accomplish after thousands of mountains, Xiao Wu and they can easily do it.
But out of the Ming Dynasty, they instantly became a gang of rogues, and they even had to rely on Wanshan Hou to hide.
Such a contrast made Xiao Wu feel extremely depressed.
British Mansion.
"Your Highness, we are the agricultural and sideline industrial zone, the industrial chain has been basically completed, do we want to start operation in an all-round way?"
Jiang held a piece of news in his right hand and said to Xiao Han.
"Wait."
"First go to the household department and bring me all the relevant information about our Ming Dynasty's grain production and land cultivation in recent years."
Xiao Han glanced at the report brought by Jiang You, threw it aside, and turned to Jiang Youdao.
"No!"
Jiang You responded and slowly retreated.
"Fengxue, what are you doing here?"
After a short time, Jiang You returned and brought a large amount of information from the household department, and Zhu Biao came with him.
"I want to calculate how much production capacity needs to be opened in the agricultural and sideline industrial zone in order for the Yingtianfu area to operate normally."
Xiao Han took the information, counted it, and said to Zhu Biao.
"Oh?"
"Although your agricultural and sideline industrial area is not small, our Daming grain has also been bumper in the past two years, and it is enough to think about it."
Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.
"No, we have a limited number of horses and there is a limit to our transshipment capacity."
"If it's grain from other state capitals, the cost of transportation is too high, and you may lose money when you run around."
"In addition, for Ying Tianfu, we also have to be accurate, to ensure that after the annual grain output is consumed by the people and consumed by production, there is still some surplus into our Daming grain depot in case of emergency."
"Only when the grain is full, it is necessary for us to increase production capacity and achieve a balance."
Xiao Han explained to Zhu Biao.
"Looking at it this way, our agricultural and sideline industry chain will definitely not be able to run at full capacity."
"Is this the supply of the industrial chain for?"
Zhu Biao asked at Xiao Han.
"That's right."
"Anyway, most of our production lines haven't been assembled and officially operated, and there are no large-scale equipment."
"After the calculation, leave enough capacity for Ying Tianfu, and I will prepare to send other production lines to other places."
Xiao Han said.
"Then why don't you send some to Lingnan."
"When the war breaks out in the south in the future, we can also take the sea route to dump goods."
Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.
"Yo!"
"It's been a good time."
"Yes, I have this intention, we should be in Tianfu to put enough, and the rest should be placed in Lingnan and Northern Xinjiang respectively."
Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.
"What are you doing in the north of Xinjiang?"
"During this time, the remnant yuan is also recuperating, it's good if we don't want to suppress them, can we still send them food and clothing?"
Zhu Biao was puzzled.
"I didn't learn this, did I?"
"When we do business with them, it's good to suppress them."
"The remnants of the grassland are nomadic and doomed, which is destined to make it difficult for them to achieve such a stable production line operation."
"And we sell their brocade clothes, spirits and teas, all of which are high-value items."
"They don't use our Daming treasure money, and if they want to sell our things, they have to exchange them for real money or their cattle and sheep."
"There is no doubt that whether it is less of their real money and silver, or less of their cattle and sheep, it is a great benefit to our Ming Dynasty, and it is not the best of one to consume them to enrich us?"
Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.
"But... Oil, wine, and cotton clothes are all important strategic resources, which will enhance their combat effectiveness. ”
"Especially cotton clothes, our cotton clothes are cheaper than their furs, and they can exchange one fur for two or three winter clothes."
Zhu Biao continued to argue.
"There's no way around it, you have to give people something cheap to see before they want to do business with you, right?"
"Not only is it that we are unilaterally taking advantage of it, but Wang Baobao is not a fool, and he will definitely oppose it."
"Don't worry, as long as we strictly restrict iron and copper, which are strategic resources directly related to weapons, Meng Yuan's army will not be able to get a substantial improvement."
"Moreover, once the scale of trade becomes larger, it will not be so easy for Wang Baobao to control the consumption of cattle and sheep."
"After all, the nobles of Mengyuan have bought enough brocade clothes, but the chiefs of other tribes are still wearing animal skins, if I am their chief, it is the Yuan Court that prohibits the consumption of large quantities of cattle and sheep, and I will also quietly sell them."
"Cold clothes, but they can really prevent their people from freezing to death, Mobei is not as good as our Ying Tianfu, the cold can really freeze people to death."
Xiao Han spread his hands.
"That's right, but the horses are fine, the cattle and sheep have to eat grass every day, and we can't digest so much in a short time, isn't it..."
Zhu Biao frowned.
"Who said it couldn't be digested."
"You don't really think that my oil production line can only use vegetable oil, and my textile production line can only use thread, right?"
"We'll keep some of it as a meat reserve, and use the rest for making fine fur, meat oil, and jerky."
"After production, we can even sell it back into the hands of the remnant yuan, our craftsmanship is better than theirs, this time and again, we have earned the wealth in secret."
"At that time, unless Wang Baobao directly mobilizes the army under the order of Emperor Yuan and forcibly shrinks or even closes the mutual market, otherwise under our production capacity, the Mengyuan people will never be able to save enough military food to go south."
"Because once each tribe has surplus cattle and sheep, it will be quietly delivered to our Daming."
Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.
"Boom! I kind of know how the former Song Dynasty boiled Liaojin to death one after another. ”
"If you play like this, as long as you take a breath of relief, and then make the scale of the mutual market bigger, Liaojin will not be able to continue to go south, what is Meng Yuan at that time... Ah yes, the economy is too large, and the Southern Song Dynasty was not given enough time, otherwise it would have to be buzzing. ”
The corners of Zhu Biao's mouth twitched slightly.
"Then if the remnant yuan takes our Daming's treasure banknote, and we haven't untied the treasure money and grain, will it have any impact?"
Zhu Biao asked again.
"Huh."
"There must still be an impact, but it won't be very big, after all, we are collecting as much grain as we can and how much treasure money we are discarding, and the remnants are not the people of our Ming Dynasty, so we can't exchange food, we can only use it as money."
"It's a big deal, if the treasure money is taken away by the remnant yuan, we don't print it, it can be regarded as giving the people some unstable benefits, and the remnant yuan pays for it."
Xiao Han said with a smile.
"Haha, if it develops like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before we can save up the belongings to go north to completely wipe out the remnants."
"It's a pity that the Mobei grassland is very wide, even if we beat the remnant yuan, we can't directly and completely control it, and I'm afraid that there will be a new nomadic shortage in the future."
Zhu Biao smiled, and then sighed lightly.
"There's actually a way to do this."
"We can build a city in Mobei, and then move the production line over, and then divide the Mobei grassland, like land, to the various tribes that surrendered to our Ming Dynasty, and prevent them from continuing to be nomadic."
"Of course, the amount of pasture that each family gives is much larger than the amount of land that is cultivated, after all, grazing consumes much more land."
"Finally, let's garrison a large army in the city, and if something happens in the jurisdiction, we will immediately go to help."
Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.
"But if there are differences in the quality and time of grass growing in different places, what if for some reason the pastures of a certain tribe are out of order, and they are clamoring to nomad to go?"
Zhu Biao asked.
"What I said, isn't it true that the people of our Ming Dynasty who farm the land don't have a harvest in some places?"
"When we collect taxes, we can collect some forage in addition to cattle and sheep, so as to prepare for emergency use."
"Of course, my Daming Agricultural College can also carry out the cultivation of hybrid grass, after all, the fluctuation of the yield of grass is not small, if it is done well, maybe our Daming people will not lack meat in the future."
"At that time, the world will say that it is Emperor Zhu who will let our Ming people eat meat."
Xiao Han smiled.
Listening to Xiao Han's ridicule, Zhu Biao couldn't help but be in a trance, as if through time, he saw Zhu Chongba in Fengyang County with a group of little brothers stealing cattle and eating meat.
Isn't the appearance of Daming just because of such a simple desire?
This is also the reason why Lao Zhu has always insisted that the Ming Dynasty does not share the world with scholars and doctors, but with the people of the world.
Because I have been drenched in the rain, I want to hold an umbrella for the people of the world.
For the Zhu family, in addition to power, it is more of a heavy responsibility.
Greet the snow of thousands of mountains alone, and protect the spring of the world.
Maybe, this is why Zhu Chongba must become Zhu Yuanzhang, after all, the shoulders of the cattle herding baby are too small to carry the wind and snow of thousands of mountains, only the Emperor Hongwu can do it.
