For Zhu Zhanji, the passage of these days is definitely something he will never forget in his life. He has already worshiped Zhang Liang as his teacher, kowtowed to offer tea, and Zhu Di was present to testify.
He has lived a very solid life. In the entire Ming Empire today, it can be said that his prestige has surpassed that of Zhu Gaoxu, the father. Even the ministers of the court must respect him from the bottom of their hearts when they see him.
This is not only the effect brought by his identity, but also the outcome driven by the huge interests of his carrier. It also adds the greatest weight to his identity as the emperor's grandson.
Because of this, Zhu Zhanji relaxed a lot. He could clearly see the change in the attitude of his two uncles towards him. It was a kind of caution that he had never experienced even when facing his father, Zhu Gaoxu.
It can be said that the identity of his successor even exceeds that of Zhu Gaoxu, the real prince. This is also the result recognized by almost all the ministers in the court.
To put it bluntly, it is a choice of interests. Even if Zhu Zhanji did not accept any direct troops at all, the weapons that the steel plant he established brought to the army have already won nearly half of the army's loyalty, and all of this should have been scrupulous by Zhu Di. But now there is not a trace of it.
"Only he knows that the real journey to the world is the real journey. His grandfather will never die after more than ten years. He will naturally be free and easy, and Zhu Di will not have any scruples.
Winter is getting colder, but this year the people of the Ming Empire feel unusually warm.
In previous years, there were not many charcoal sellers at this time of year, but this year, this group of people knew that they were unemployed as early as two months ago. However, this group did not change because of this, and even they were established by Liu Bang and Zhang Liang. Zhuanfang absorbed it early, and now he is getting a big salary, earning more.
Compared with briquettes, the heat released by burning charcoal is not at the same level at all, and the role it can play is naturally different. Among them, the biggest problem is the cost and selling price, which is not something ordinary people can buy. Started.
The new year has quietly arrived. The entire workshop around the capital has begun to take holidays except for some necessary positions. Neither Liu Bang nor Zhang Liang can be stingy about the year-end rewards. These hundreds of thousands of people and their families have generated The purchasing power was immediately released, which forced the entire capital to achieve extreme prosperity.
To put it bluntly, those sesame seed sellers in the capital have made more money this year than in the past ten years combined, and they have also become rich.
It was also at this point in time that Liu Bang launched his first real estate project on the outskirts of the capital. There were about 800 small two-story buildings. Each building occupied an area of ??about one and a third of an acre. They were boxy and looked like a house from the outside. The structure of a small courtyard house comes with its own walls, making it impeccable whether it is for a family to live in or for safety.
After only one day of publicity, thousands of people rushed to view the house the next day. The excitement even shocked Liu Bang.
You must know that the real estate project Liu Bang tried this time was not within the capital city. It had to go ten miles away from the city. To put it bluntly, there was no such index as a capital household registration.
In fact, he still underestimated the capital's large size and difficult to live in. In the feudal era, it was no better than in the modern world. There were no high-rise buildings at all. Moreover, none of the mansions of the princes, ministers, and wealthy businessmen occupied an area of ??ten or eight acres. of?
???????????????????????? They still feel that they are out of control, and the living space left for the people is naturally very little. Except for the people who originally belonged to the local people when the capital was first established, there is no possibility for outsiders to buy their own properties.
But now, this possibility has been released by Liu Bang's attempt. If he looks carefully, he will find that most of the people who came today are businessmen who came to the capital from all over the Ming Empire to do business, and then there are those in the capital. middle- and lower-level officials.
These people either have to live in major inns after entering Beijing, or they can only squeeze into the bunkhouse with their colleagues, the kind of people who are lined up in rows in a room, one next to another, even if the officials are of higher rank. , there is no palace rewarded by the emperor, and I can only come here alone. Who dares to really bring his family here?
This is the normal situation for officials in the Ming Empire. Their salary is really not flattering. It was better during the period of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. The subsequent emperor levels can only force them to make money.
But it¡¯s much better now. Zhu Di seems to have discovered this, and has included officials¡¯ salary increases in his agenda. To put it bluntly, they are rich. It is not an exaggeration to say that these clusters of workshops are making money every day.
During this period of time, it was not that Zhu Di did not make any moves, or that many of his moves were relativelyThis old blind man is not his cup of tea. It's okay to sell face, but if he says he's not depressed after being laughed at, that would be a lie.
In fact, Zhu Di has received many memorials for the establishment of the Tianjin Wei large port. He did not need to check them one by one to know that they must be "ancestral system". Who told Zhu Yuanzhang that he knew nothing about this before? Was this the ancestral precept established?
Now it has become Zhu Di's biggest threshold, and it is not something that can be easily crossed if he wants to.
If Zhu Di didn't know the wealth in the sea or the land beyond the sea, it would be fine. But he already knew the map of the world, and even knew that the passage to all heavens and worlds is in South America. He, Zhu Di, was able to withstand the pressure of all the civil servants in the world. so what?
How does he know these things? Liu Hao has already helped him.
"As long as Zheng He returns and presents the mine map given by Liu Hao, driven by such huge interests, even if Zhu Di is not happy by then, it won't work.
The so-called country without conquests can only be a joke by then. The 'Stone View Silver Mountain' is placed there, just a little distance away. All you need to do is send some personnel to verify it. After it is confirmed, the North Korea will Both civil servants and military generals above the hall will release unprecedented opinions. What ancestral precepts? At that time, absolutely no one will mention it.
To put it bluntly, it is still profit. After seeing the greater benefit, the small benefits in the past are nothing.
Now, Zheng He, who is far away in Africa, has started to return. Liu Hao still doesn¡¯t know that although the ¡®Hundred Beasts Map¡¯ he refined for Zheng He is nothing more than a spiritual weapon, its effect is still significant;
That is, you can use this to collect the animals on the map. Although you can only collect a pair, but to Zheng He, there is no difference at all from the fairy magic weapon. The reason why they wasted more than two months, Almost all the time is spent here.
After Zheng He returns, a real world zoo will probably be established in the Ming Empire.
With the passage of time, the national power of the Ming Empire expanded like a balloon. The workshops that were originally only located near the capital began to gradually spread throughout the Ming Empire. They were different in size, but they were also Gather many labor forces into it.
The reason why this was possible was thanks to Zhang Liang's invention of the steam plowing machine, which greatly promoted agricultural production and also liberated more people from the land. In a true sense, it will The industrial revolution ignited.
The Central Plains is no better than John Bull. Her foundation is farmers. Even if steam spinning machines appear, there will not be so much wool to provide, and it is impossible to truly free farmers from their farmland. This is the reality.
Zhang Liang knew this very well, and for this reason, the first thing he promoted in a real sense was the steam plowing machine, and then the wool spinning machine.
There is no doubt that this wool spinning machine is also aimed at the nomadic people in the grassland. When he saw this machine, Zhu Di didn't know what to do with it?
Even if he doesn¡¯t understand economic warfare, after Zhang Liang explains it a little, he can understand that most of the border troops are already communicating with the nomadic peoples in the grassland and starting to purchase each other¡¯s wool on a large scale.
The incident of sheep cannibalism will probably occur on a large scale in the grasslands within a few years. By then, Zhu Di may not need to mobilize any troops at all, and the entire grassland will have no choice but to completely rely on the Ming Empire. This kind of complete solution to nomadic herdsmen Regarding the hidden national danger, just thinking about Zhu Di makes me feel like I am more powerful than the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
