Beijing has just experienced the hustle and bustle of the New Year. Coupled with the long half-month holiday during the New Year, everyone seems not to be very energetic when going to work.
Morning meetings are held very casually, as there are few things that need to be discussed together.
The Ming Dynasty was peaceful and peaceful, with authority from all directions. There were very few things that the emperor and ministers needed to worry about. Basically, there were not too many things in the early dynasty.
Even the small meeting in the study room after the morning court turned into a chat activity, because there was really nothing to discuss. All aspects of the Ming Dynasty were developing at a high speed and in an orderly manner, unlike before, which was plagued by internal and external troubles.
In this cold season, it was the time when the wandering people from the northern grasslands went south to thresh grass and valleys. Generally, this was the time when Emperor Hongzhi was most worried.
It¡¯s different now. Not only do we not have to worry about these things, but Emperor Hongzhi also has to worry about whether the herdsmen in the northern grasslands have enough food for the winter, whether the losses caused by heavy snow are serious, etc. Officials at all levels in the grassland province are required to do a good job in related matters. work to ensure that herdsmen survive the winter smoothly.
Times have changed, and the New Year is really the New Year. The entire Ming Dynasty is immersed in the joy of the New Year, so much so that it is almost the Lantern Festival. The joy of the New Year has not passed yet, and the Lantern Festival has begun to be noisy and lively again.
At Liu Jin¡¯s house, it was already noon when Liu Jin came back from the study room, just in time for lunch.
Since the morning meeting was postponed to Chen time, the morning meeting has become more relaxed. I am no longer as tired as before, and the time is just right. I go home for lunch next morning, take a break after lunch, and then go to the office of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. , almost the same as the working hours of later generations.
After lunch, Liu Jin came to his study as a habit and started to deal with some personal matters.
Liu Jin is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and at the same time he has an extremely huge industry, so he is very busy every day. Not only does he have to deal with government affairs, but he also needs to take care of the huge industry under his command, and he cannot rely entirely on the management of his subordinates.
What's more, most of these industries are industries in partnership with the emperor, prince, nobles and ministers of the court. It is also crucial for Liu Jin to take good care of these industries, because these are related to Emperor Hongzhi, prince, nobles and ministers. Your pocketbook.
"Sir, several large-scale iron mines have been discovered in Australia. The quality of the ores is very high, and they are all open-pit mines. Miyun Iron Works wants to open an iron smelting plant in Australia. The smelted steel can satisfy Market demand in Australia and Southeast Asia."
Around Liu Jin, the stewards under his command came to Liu Jin one by one to report on relevant work and ask for some instructions.
"Australia?"
"Okay, let's also see if we can find large-scale iron mines in Huangjinzhou. It would be best to open iron smelting plants in Huangjinzhou. Cement factories, glass factories, shipyards, etc. can also be established in Australia and Huangjinzhou. Let¡¯s do it here.¡±
¡°Don¡¯t put your eggs in one basket.¡±
Liu Jin thought for a while and expressed his agreement, then signed and stamped the application documents.
This set of systems is naturally copied from the company operating systems of later generations. Liu Jin knows very well that if a company wants to become bigger and stronger, standardized systems and management are extremely important, so it is adopted in all the companies under his command. management system for future generations.
"Yes~"
The other party nodded immediately, picked up the document and went to do what Liu Jin wanted.
"Sir, Li Yuanshan wants to plant sugar cane in Golden Continent and export the boiled sugar directly to Europe. He has calculated that if it is grown and produced in Golden Continent, the cost of sugar cane exported to Europe can be reduced by at least 50%. "
Soon, another steward came to report.
"Yes, we can first develop sugar cane plantations on the Great Plains of the Central Plains of North Huanghuangzhou."
Liu Jin quickly signed and agreed.
"The South African colony hopes to use the local indigenous Kunlun slaves as slaves and introduce Kunlun slaves to develop the colony. They believe that the Kunlun slaves in South Africa are large in number and are very easy to obtain. The development of the South African colony requires a lot of manpower, but if white slaves are purchased Or for Tianzhu slaves, the cost is too high, and because of the long distance, transportation is not easy."
"No~"
"Tell Zhang Zili, if he dares to use the Kunlun slave, I will throw him into the Kunlun slave world. Don't think that I can't do anything to him because he is a servant of the British government."
"I have long emphasized that all Kunlun slaves must be eliminated in the South African colony, and we can only allow the existence of our descendants of Yan and Huang. If the manpower is insufficient, and development is slow, then slow down, as long as the land is ours."
? ?friendly. "
Liu Jin was in a bit of trouble. To be honest, it would be best to monopolize such a canal, but the conditions are not bad now. The relationship between the two countries is very good because of the Ottoman Empire. This is not a slap in the face. .
¡°It requires tens of millions of taels of silver, which is an extremely huge sum of money.¡±
"It's possible to take it out, but it's definitely not appropriate for me to eat it alone. It's better to bring everyone together to play this project."
Liu Jin quickly shook his head and gave up the idea of ??attacking Egypt, and then started thinking about digging the canal.
Digging a canal is an extremely huge task, and the funds required alone are very huge.
"Perhaps it's time to sell stocks and open a stock exchange, so that all the people can participate in the feast of wealth, not just the canal project, but also many other projects." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel .com
