1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 242
Zhang Fulu never dreamed that, as a craftsman who was sent to Hanzhou by Su Minggang back then, he would be appointed by the head of civil affairs of Hanzhou as the chief treasurer of Jianyebai Industrial and Commercial Society.

Jianye Bai Industrial and Commercial Co., Ltd. integrated all the civilian factories invested and established by Hanzhou Jianye City. These factories were all separated from the Hanzhou Civilian Government and became commercial companies operating independently in the market.It has more than a dozen workshops including garment workshops, carpentry workshops, paper workshops, sugar workshops, breweries, cement and lime workshops, brick workshops, iron tools workshops, and ceramics workshops.

The products involved include clothing, daily necessities, wooden furniture tools, building materials, cloisonné, enamel and other pottery, which not only meet the basic necessities of family life in Hanzhou, but also high-end luxury goods exported to Europe through Batavia.

In addition to Jianye Baigong Industrial Co., Ltd., Hanzhou has successively established Hanzhou Construction General Trading Company, Jianye Transportation Trading Company, Hanzhou Baigong Machinery Manufacturing Factory, Jianye Shipbuilding Yard, Heishan Iron and Steel Factory, Heishan Military Factory and other market entities. These factories (Factories) are all separated from the Hanzhou People's Government and run independently, but accept the direction management and business guidance of the Works Department of the Hanzhou People's Government.

The Batavian Chinese merchants successively set up more than a dozen workshops for civil and shipbuilding in Hanzhou, all of which were exempted from tax within the first three years. After the three-year period, 15.00% of their profits were levied a profit tax.

Zhang Fulu, as the chief shopkeeper of Jianyebai Industrial and Commercial Co., Ltd., has a glance at the other ten major shopkeepers of Hanzhou-controlled commercial companies. Every year, he must complete the production and operation indicators of the civil government's Ministry of Works, and make detailed reports and reports on the annual business behavior. explain.

Since Zhang Fulu has been engaged in commercial activities for more than ten years, he has never seen that a trading company has so many operating indicators, in addition to the normal production completion rate (monthly, quarterly, annual), product loss rate and operating profit. Barely understandable, other things such as asset-liability ratio, total asset turnover rate, accounts receivable turnover rate, inventory turnover rate, sales growth rate, business cycle, etc., he feels at a loss.

But fortunately, Deputy Manager Pan also said that they, the big shopkeepers of the commercial company, still need to spare time every month for "modern enterprise management" training, and the teacher of the training is naturally the chief manager of the Hanzhou People's Government.

"Everyone, Hanzhou has implemented monetization in various production and living links since June. The previous situation where the civil government took care of all affairs will gradually change." Qi Tian glanced at the civil affairs officials in the meeting room. He said, "But this does not mean that the work of the Hanzhou people's government will become easy and simple."

"On the contrary, in the future, the civil affairs work in Hanzhou will become more and more complicated and arduous, and all aspects involved will also become wider and wider. Therefore, the requirements for all our civil government officials are also becoming more and more complicated. High. You must continue to learn and improve in your respective positions, so as to adapt to the development speed of various civil affairs in Hanzhou."

"The current ruling area of ​​our Hanzhou is not very large, and the population is not very large. The corresponding problems and affairs are not very complicated. This is the best time for all our civil affairs officials to intervene in affairs management. I hope that You can gradually refine and advance the existing affairs and management methods, and make all preparations for the gradual expansion and development of Hanzhou in the future."

"We, Hanzhou, are two completely different places from Daming. The management methods and methods in them can be used for reference and absorbed, but they cannot be completely copied." Qi Tian looked at everyone seriously, "You have to remember, Daming How did such a bad situation come about? Apart from the emperor’s slack and mediocre administration, did the officials, gentry, and even scholars below cause this situation?”

"Our Hanzhou is based on this remote continent. There are many barbaric land-states in the north, as well as Western colonists with strong ships and powerful guns. Everyone like us, if we are a little slack, we will be like a small country in Southeast Asia, or be annexed by strong neighbors, or be taken over by our neighbors. Enslaved by Western forces. I think this is not the result you expected."

"It's difficult for you to fall into the Ming Dynasty, but you are promoted in our Hanzhou. Naturally, you have to do a generous deed. Everyone, my Hanzhou has only been established for more than three years. Not only can I wipe out all the Westerners, but I can also show my prestige to the Westerners. Luzon, attacking the Nanyang land-states, expelling the wilderness natives. But I, Hanzhou, cannot be satisfied with this."

"In the north, there are the Dutch blocking Hanzhou from the commercial road, the Portuguese sinking our Hanzhou ships, and the Spaniards who have always been hostile to me, and many Nanyang native states have separatist Yuyu Island."

"Here, Hanzhou should stand up for it, strive to develop, and accumulate strength. In the future, we will sweep the many islands in the north, expel all the native states and Western forces that are enemies of Hanzhou, and expand more living space for our Han people. For my posthumous achievements to be remembered by my descendants, and for Hanzhou to dominate Nanyang and rule the world, let's fight hard!"

"Rise up for Hanzhou!"

"Dominate Nanyang and rule the world!"

"Expand more living space for the Han people!"

The officials of the civil government and the big shopkeepers of the commercial company sitting here were so ambitious and even more excited by such bold words that they trembled all over.Three years ago, they were either dying of starvation, depressed scholars, or frustrated people living in a foreign land.Today, they are civil affairs officials in important positions in Hanzhou, and they are the leaders of commercial companies in charge of huge assets.

In the future, with the continuous development, expansion and strength of Hanzhou, they will become more and more important figures.Rise up for Hanzhou, in order to obtain endless wealth, and for the merits that will be remembered behind him, how can we not fight hard! ——
"Xiao Tian, ​​you are more and more courageous to be the king of a country now!" Cao Xiong said with a smile: "I listened to your speech to the civil government officials, and I couldn't help myself. From now on, Hanzhou is in your hands. It can't be said that it is as you said, dominate Nanyang and rule the roost in Yunei!"

"Uncle, slogans are motivating. But to do things, we still need to go step by step. Some things, once we take big steps, may not be controlled." Qi Tian shook his head and said.It is still necessary to do some motivational work for subordinates.However, when doing specific affairs, we must strictly control our ambitions and prevent the phenomenon of "false big empty".

"Are you worried that our occupation of Dili City will cause all kinds of bad chain reactions?" Cao Xiong asked.

More than ten days ago, Qi Dajiang returned to Xinxiang Castle with many Portuguese prisoners and seized property, and quickly passed the news to Jianye City through "Flying Fish No. [-]".

Hanzhou military and civilian officials were shocked when they received the news.Originally, the dispatch of troops to attack the Portuguese colonial stronghold of Dili City did not expect any results. It was just a proper declaration of force to the Portuguese to retaliate against their unprovoked sinking of the Hanzhou immigrant ship. People's hatred deepens.

Unexpectedly, the attack fleet led by Qi Dajiang not only captured the city of Dili, but also wiped out the main armed forces gathered by the Portuguese on Timor Island.If it weren't for Qi Dajiang's conservatism and prudence, they could have joined forces with the soldiers of the Kingdom of Wahali to attack Ocussi, the center of the Portuguese rule on Timor Island. Maybe they could take advantage of the temporary weakness of the Portuguese, Drive them out of Timor Island in one fell swoop.

"Our Hanzhou occupied Dili, cutting off the contact between the Portuguese and the Wahali Kingdom in one fell swoop. In this way, if our Hanzhou wants to continue to expand in Timor Island, it may replace the previous role played by the Portuguese. , will attract the hatred of the natives on the island." Qi Tian said slowly, "And, more importantly, it will arouse the fear and precautions of the Dutch!"

"The natives are weak, even if I occupy all of Timor Island in Hanzhou, what can he do to me?" Cao Xiong didn't care.

"In the future, the killing may be too heavy."

"The Dutch can kill it, the Portuguese can kill it, and we in Hanzhou can kill it too!" Cao Xiong patted Qi Tian on the shoulder, "I have figured it out over the years. There are many small countries in Nanyang. , the Western forces colonized it, as long as the force is strong and the fist is strong, others will listen to you honestly. If you are weak and have no force to protect, you can only be enslaved by others!"

"Fortunately, in the past few years, you have managed the strength of our Hanzhou to flourish, and you can still gain a foothold here. But I don't think it's enough. Don't you scholars often say that the barbaric chieftains are afraid that we have beaten them? Instead of thanking us for our kindness to them.”

"Yidi, like beasts, are fearful of power but not virtuous. This sentence was said by Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty." Qi Tian knew that he had not yet completely transformed from the universal values ​​of later generations.

Because of the suffering experienced by a certain rabbit in later generations, I have complained and cursed the shameless plunder and brutal slavery of the Western colonists countless times. Is it possible that the future Hanzhou will also follow the path of Western colonialism.

"Yes! It is to subdue those barbarians and beasts, so that they will be afraid of you, obey you, and be driven by you. Barbarians, if it is not my race, their hearts must be different. If possible, it is best..., hehe "Cao Xiong snorted coldly, "Da Ming still has millions of starving people, waiting for our Hanzhou to save them, and we must find more good land for them to support themselves in the future, don't we?"

"We actually..." Qi Tian thought that he could actually use the hands of Western colonists to kill and expel those natives, but then he thought about it, people came from thousands of miles to colonize in order to get rich and monopolize trade routes, so it might not be so He is willing to do those things that anger people.That being the case, why go to such lengths to engage in conspiracies and tricks.Domination of Nanyang cannot be achieved by relying on gentleness and tenderness.

"We can actually capture a large number of natives from Timor Island and go to Weiyuan Island to colonize. There, there are still large tracts of undeveloped land that need to be reclaimed, and countless forests need to be cut down... Everything, everything It takes enough manpower to fill it."

In other words, it seemed that something important was mentioned just now, and my uncle said that, so I forgot it in a blink of an eye.Qi Tian carefully recalled the conversation just now in his heart, tried his best to grasp the vague concept, but he couldn't remember it.
