Qiming 1158

Chapter 1178 Launching an Economic March to Jiangnan

Not long after Lin Jingchun's announcement was over, the state governments, county governments, and village and township peasant associations of the Ming Dynasty set up in Quanzhou and Guangzhou arrived.

After they arrived, they began to restructure the governance systems of Quanzhou and Guangzhou in the way of the Ming state, and carried out comprehensive changes to Quanzhou and Guangzhou, so that these two states truly belonged to the Ming state.

After a long time, the merchants also understood in their hearts that the Ming Kingdom was really here, and they wanted to cut meat from them to eat.

The Lin'an court is unreliable, can't fight and can't fight, can't fight, can't quarrel, do you want to watch your own interests be swallowed up by the Ming Dynasty like this?

A group of people got together, and some people proposed to engage in an economic war, hoarding the necessary living materials on the market that they had in their hands, raising the price, causing panic in the market, and causing trouble for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, food, such as vegetables and fruits, such as salt, etc., can raise prices, engage in economic wars, and threaten the people of the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, the people of the Ming Kingdom must be in a hurry, and in order to stabilize the situation, they will definitely compromise with them.

These people give advice confidently.

Then they found that other people looked at them with the eyes of a fool.

"What do you think the knives and artillery of the Ming army are used for?"

"what?"

"Do we have foreign aid? Do we have a large army? Can someone cooperate with us inside and outside? There is nothing. When people say that there are relevant laws in their clear law, they will wipe us out. What can we do? What can we do? Huh? You Is it possible to beat those Ming troops?"

"This……"

"People are clearly garrisoned here. They clearly tell you not to be careful. If you do a little bit, they will be able to send the army down immediately. Do you believe it?"

"Ah this..."

The arrogant fools who made the suggestion fell silent.

The wise men who opposed this stupid suggestion were silent for a while.

After a long time, an old guy with gray hair let out a long sigh.

"As the old saying goes, a strong dragon doesn't overwhelm the local snake. Now this strong dragon is a bit too strong. Let's have no choice at all... Even the backers above have been beaten. Now it can be said that it is the lackey of the Ming Kingdom. How can we businessmen resist?"

A group of big businessmen look at me and I look at you, all showing helpless and depressed expressions.

This time, the merchants did not reach a consensus because they were afraid of the force of the Ming army. They just planned to take a step by step.

If the Ming Kingdom is only here for tariffs, then everyone will endure the calm for a while, and they should spend a little more money to ensure safety.

If they didn't come for tariffs, the businessmen would never sit still. The Southern Song Dynasty was unreliable, so they could only rely on themselves.

If it really doesn't work, then let's all run Nanyang together and run it far away, so that the Ming army can't do anything about them.

Of course, if you run away, it's definitely not a good thing to leave a familiar place to live in a strange place. Of course they are more willing to stay and continue to do business and make a fortune. Now it is to see whether Minguo will give them this opportunity.

Facts have proved that the Ming Dynasty, which is concerned with social revolution and the state-running of public ownership of the economic lifeline, is completely incompatible with these private economies.

The Ming Kingdom had no intention of compromising with them at all.

The strength gap between the two sides is too great, their biggest reliance on the Southern Song Dynasty has also been abolished, and now it is just a dog of Daming's father.

Looking around, I am the strongest in East Asia and the largest in the world.

A group of businessmen are trying to use their own business methods to fight against the state's powerful machines without the assistance of external powers. Isn't this courting death?

If you don't take this opportunity to devour them, how long will you wait?
Lin Jingchun gave an order, and the elites of various departments under the Ministry of Finance of Daming came together to launch an economic march to Jiangnan.

The first step is to wipe out the war dividends brought by this war. The main target is to take over and control all the properties owned by the sons and daughters of the royal family of Zhao Song.

This is an economic war after a fire war. The main ones who dispatched the "big army" to attack are the "strong generals" under the Ministry of Finance.

They sharpen their knives, and they have long coveted the high-quality assets of Jiangnan.

After these years of development, the Ministry of Finance of the Ming Dynasty can indeed be said to be one of the top gigantic departments among the major departments of the imperial court. The status of the disciple Lin Jingchun is also rising.

The fact that the public ownership economy occupies the main position of the national economy is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. It was stipulated in this way since the period of the General Affairs Bureau of the Central Capital.

Therefore, with the growth of Ming's national strength in recent years, the scale of the Ministry of Finance has also continued to expand, and more and more state-owned industries have been controlled.

The state-owned commercial institutions under the Ministry of Finance are all bureau-level departments, each of which has its own corresponding work category, with a high degree of specialization.

For example, the General Administration of Mineral Resources, which is responsible for the preservation and exploration of all mineral resources in the country.

For example, the Shanhaichize General Administration, which is in charge of the management of all rivers, mountains and rivers and their precious resources such as wood and stone, is in charge.

For example, the General Administration of Iron and Steel, which is mainly responsible for the smelting and production of steel and other alloys, is in charge of the iron and steel smelting plants established in all places in Daming.

There is also the Agricultural Tool Division, which is mainly responsible for agricultural tools, and is responsible for all the agricultural tool manufacturing workshops and sales shops in the whole Daming Dynasty.

There are salt companies who are mainly responsible for the management of national salt farms and salt sales stores, as well as the salt department that manages the sales of private salt in the Southern Song Dynasty.

There is the General Directorate of Rice and Grain, which is mainly responsible for the collection, storage and distribution of grain.

There is the Livestock Division, which is mainly responsible for raising, cultivating and selling livestock for agricultural purposes.

There is a water ice company responsible for the management of ice cube and sugar related factories, as well as the production and sale of related products.

There is a Fertilizer Division that manages the production of all fertilizer factories in the country and is in charge of selling them.

There is also a general weaving bureau that fully controls the whole process of all silk, silk, cotton and other related products in the country from raw materials to sales.

Etc., etc.

It mainly highlights a one-stop process from raw materials to final product sales to the market.

They worked closely with the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture and other departments that were mainly responsible for production, and within a few years, they built a fairly strict and rigorous state-owned economic system in the Ming Dynasty, and firmly grasped the economic lifeline of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, there is a trend of further deepening the overall control of the national economy.

This has almost become the default practice of the Treasury Department.

However, the public ownership economy does not have to be fully grasped.

During the four and five years of Hongwu, Su Yonglin made some comments to the Ministry of Finance in view of the growing scale of state-owned industries controlled by the Ministry of Finance.

His idea is that, like the catering industry, which is mainly given to the private sector, some less important industries do not need the state to manage them in person. The state only needs to set a standard to manage them, and it is not necessary to do so in place.

And even if you want to do it right, can you really do it right?
