A thousand-ton cargo ship can only be regarded as a small kaka in the modern world, but in the glorious world of Ming Dynasty, this is the legendary Big Mac.
The most important thing is that this cargo ship is almost entirely made of steel.
This situation of subverting three views was even more impactful to the Ming Empire.
What even Liu Hao didn't expect was that because of the appearance of this freighter, those students in the Ming Empire who had always adhered to the 'Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism' would see the power of 'science' for the first time, and their originally firm hearts began to A real crack appeared;
It was also because of this that there was an explosion of purchases for the first time in the Ming Empire of many mathematics and physics books that were originally printed.
To these Confucian students, such a steel creation weighing 100,000 kilograms, which can be suspended in the sea, is no different from the legendary ¡®magic weapon¡¯. Who wouldn¡¯t be moved?
No matter how firm your thoughts are, a crack will inevitably be torn apart. This is a man's romance. As long as you see it, few can resist the attraction from the heart.
In fact, neither Liu Bang nor Zhang Liang really valued these scholars. They knew very well that instead of spending huge energy to persuade this group of people to change careers, it would be better to start training them from the youngest children.
This is what they think and what they do.
Among the hundreds of thousands of people they have recruited now, their descendants have been wiped out by Liu Bang and the others. Countless elementary schools have been established, and they even opened night schools specifically for these people, using part of the profits specifically for Reward these people who study knowledge during the late night snack today.
These situations were not unknown to the students of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in the Ming Empire, and it was not unknown to the ministers above the court.
However, after observing the teaching courses in elementary school and night school, they all breathed a sigh of relief. For them, this group of common people who were trained did not go to obtain fame at all, and it would not put much pressure on them. , naturally too lazy to trouble them.
But now, they have discovered the real problem, but they still don¡¯t know that after the rolling wheel of history has started, it is no longer possible to stop it.
The imperial examination was a huge contribution to the Yanhuang civilization. However, even if the imperial examination was held every year, how many people could be admitted?
In other words, a large part of the scholars in the Ming Empire could not become officials of the imperial court, and most of them could only enjoy themselves in doing nothing.
But now, these people who have lost their reputation suddenly find that they still have great value. They are already literate, be it mathematics or physics. Even without a teacher to teach one-on-one, they can understand a lot by spending some energy, as long as they are immersed in it. , always find a way out.
This is also the beginning of the new year. Liu Bang and Zhang Liang found that among the newly recruited personnel, there were many scholars. Naturally, they welcomed this very much. Even if it cost them thousands of gold to buy bones, they would be happy to find one of these students who had taken refuge. Good future.
They really weren't just talking about it. At the beginning of the new year, even Zhu Di knew that the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Empire would undergo large-scale changes in the future. To put it bluntly, how many officials of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Empire are today? qualified? Do they understand technology?
To put it bluntly, if the current Ministry of Industry officials are asked to plan railway routes, most of what they will get is just straight lines drawn on a map.
Changing the topic, Tianjin Wei, Zhu Di and a group of officials arrived by train in order to take a look at the legendary thousand-ton steel ship and see how this steel creation galloped in the sea. But after arriving, Only then did they discover that the surprise was much more than that.
There is no pollution in the Bohai Bay of the Ming Empire, and it has never been fished on a large scale for thousands of years. The fish stocks there are even more numerous. Thousand-ton fishing boats are just going through the motions. Return with a full warehouse.
All kinds of strange seafood swarmed into Tianjin Wei Port. Thousands of tons of fish caught are thousands of tons of grain. How much land is needed to obtain it in farmland?
No matter Zhu Di or the officials of the Ming Empire, they got the answer almost immediately. Moreover, it was all meat. It was just a day. There was no telling how much was hidden in the endless sea. It was also the first time that the entire Ming Dynasty The empire discovered vast amounts of money in the sea.
Zhu Di did not need to speak at all. The ministers in the DPRK and China who originally had a lot of thoughts about the sea ban have now lost their voices. The only thing they can think of is that their family must keep up with the pace and take the lead in this wave of wind. .
These ministers of the DPRK and ChinaInside, everyone stood with their necks raised and looked toward the sea.
When the thousand-ton giant fishing boat appeared at the end of the sea again, cheers erupted in the port, and the anticipation in my heart was even higher.
At this time, Zhu Di was also very entangled in his heart. He was even a little worried about whether the returning fishing boats would still be full, lest the tens of thousands of people who arrived would have regrets;
This kind of anxiety lasted until the fishing boat docked, and when he saw the fishing boat carrying basket after basket of seafood to the port, it seemed that there would be no end. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhu Di burst into laughter.
Seeing the harvest with their own eyes, everyone felt so satisfied in their hearts. In the feudal era, nothing else could compare with food. This was the most needed and precious treasure in the feudal era.
Zhu Zhanji, who followed him, was surrounded by a group of nobles, with a fishing boat worth 50,000 taels. At this time, these nobles did not hesitate at all. It seemed that compared with the harvest, this was nothing at all.
They can also calculate that a full warehouse back and forth is a thousand tons of catch. Even if Zhang Liang and Zhu Zhanji deliberately lower the price of seafood, it will only take ten days and a half to recover their investment. Who can bear it?
The only idea is to decide on the fishing boat first. It is only right to get the fishing boat as early as possible.
Interests make people crazy, and this has always been the case since ancient times!
Even though no one mentioned it, everyone knows that the so-called sea ban has become an empty talk.
The first batch of students of Tianjin Wei Royal Maritime Academy no longer need to worry, this is the real hello to me and hello to everyone.
The agglomeration effect of the economy can be so terrifying sometimes.
When the people knew that Tianjin Wei had many opportunities to make a fortune, even across thousands of mountains and rivers, there was a steady influx of people. In just over a month, the entire Tianjin Wei had a population of only 300,000 people. Close to one million, and almost half of the population has a direct connection to the sea.
The giant seafood trading market established by Zhang Liang has also become the largest trading market in the surrounding area. Which businessman from all over the world is willing to fall behind?
Nowadays, the biggest restriction is transportation, that is, the train from Beijing to Tianjin Wei has been formed. Otherwise, how to digest these seafood is the biggest problem.
Zhu Zhanji¡¯s previous sea salt field has now become a life-saving straw, but he has to use more sea salt to marinate seafood in order to transport the seafood further.
Even Liu Hao did not expect that these pickled seafood would be much more popular than Liu Hao and the others imagined.
People are not fools. Even if they use the money to buy salt for marinating seafood, they will definitely make money by themselves. They can also catch a lot of fish and meat for food. They vote with their feet and know how to choose.
Because of this, even though they are thousands of miles away, these pickled seafood have become a hot commodity, and they will be snatched up almost as soon as they are put on the table. This in turn has promoted the vigorous development of the Bohai Sea fishery, forming a real In a virtuous circle, people will naturally be happy to migrate.
¡°Perhaps as the projects in hand become larger and larger, the money in the hands of Zhang Liang and others becomes more and more terrifying, amounting to tens of millions of silver dollars. Sometimes even Zhu Di has to be frightened when he sees the accounts;
But today, Zhu Di was also happy, because Zhang Liang gave him a memorial, which listed the 'tax issues' one by one, so that Zhu Di could understand how the Ming Empire should proceed in the future;
??In particular, it states that the national taxes will be transferred to business one by one, so that agricultural taxes can be exempted one day in the future.
This alone is enough to make Zhu Di excited. For an emperor of a feudal empire, this is a matter of lasting fame. His success depends on it. How can he resist the temptation? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
