Bury the Qing Dynasty

Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and other bigwigs watched Zhu Jinsong quietly, planning to see what new tricks Emperor Zhu could come up with—it was true that Emperor Zhu made a promise to go to sea to build a country, and New South Wales is very It is true that it is easy to get, but the problem is people?
Whether it was Ming directly residing in New South Wales, or allowing ministers to buy fiefdoms to call them orphans, or Emperor Zhu sub-dividing several princes, etc., in the end, the people had to move to New South Wales for real border?
Of course, if you really want to solve the problem of the shortage of dogs in the Ming Dynasty, it is actually easy to do, for example, directly transfer a group of individual dogs to them, and assign them little ladies from New South Wales or little piglets who have been sold as piglets in Europa, Tianzhu, Ottoman and other places. Girls, these singles could fill up NSW in no time.

The problem is that no one dares to do this.

Don't look at the people of Daming who are usually honest and honest like quails, each of them is as cowardly as if three sticks can't make a fart, but that's because in the mainland of Daming, the benefits that Daming gives to the people are high enough, plus the The government is in charge of it, the elders of the family are watching, and the villagers are watching. One is that there is no need to make a fuss, and the other is to live a good reputation. That's why the people of Ming Dynasty are very honest.

If tens of thousands of single dogs are directly relocated, and they are directly assigned local young ladies in New South Wales or young ladies from Europa, Tianzhu and other places as wives, these single dogs will easily blow up their nests—it’s okay to be concubines, if they are It's not embarrassing enough for a regular wife to marry back home!
It is also for this reason that when Daming relocated people, it was often the relocation of households and households, at least to tie a rope to those half-grown men.

As for the relocation of households and households, Daming now has no extra people to move out. Even if there are, they must first go to the Old Port, Central Siberia and Tianzhu, which have been renamed Yanran Chief Envoy, and it is simply not the turn of the new South Wales.

Therefore, the problem has returned to the original point - no matter how Emperor Zhu plays, there are not enough people to move!

However, what Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs did not expect was that Zhu Jinsong actually said with a smile: "The number of Dingkou in our Ming Dynasty has been increasing, and it has only been more than ten years since the increase from [-] million to [-] million today. What if there are more than ten years?"

"It's not something that you can complete in a day or two when Qing and others go to sea to build a country. After all, you still have to choose a fiefdom, build your palace, and then you have to set up a government, recruit troops, and so on. After a year or two."

"After one or two years, the number of Dingkou in our Ming Dynasty will be 5000 million or 1000 million more. Even if it is only [-] million more, will [-] million people be able to migrate to New South Wales?"

After Zhu Jinsong said this, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs immediately recalled it.

If we start to relocate people now, Ming Dynasty really doesn’t have any extra people to relocate, but if we wait a year or two later, Daming can really have tens of millions more people, and New South Wales can more or less distribute some people .

In other words, New South Wales itself may not be able to get many people, because this kind of vassal state is still different from the vassal states such as King Qin and King Jin. How many people can be transferred there depends on the Ming Dynasty. How much these bigwigs are willing to spend.

For example, the imperial court recruited and moved to Tianzhu to give ten taels of silver to settle down. Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs could give 20 taels of silver. As long as these vassal states are still owned by Ming Dynasty, the common people will not think the money is too much.

But after figuring out the key points here, Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and other bigwigs couldn't help but start to feel sorry for their own pockets. After all, no matter how worthless the fiefdom is, they have to buy it with real money, even if it is a hectare The land is only sold for one tael of silver, and the final total price must be an astronomical figure.

Let's put it this way, starting with a few million taels, there is no upper limit.

Even if Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs deliberately controlled the size of the fiefdom to the size of a small chief envoy in order to reassure Emperor Zhu, they would still need 100 million taels of silver in the end, which would be 1000 million dragon yuan when converted into Daming dragon yuan.

Based on Zeng Cheng's salary of 1000 dragon yuan a month as the chief assistant minister of the Ming cabinet, [-] million dragon yuan...

Of course, at the level of Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming, Liu Huaiwen and other big bosses, salary has actually become dispensable. The real big income still comes from the dry stock dividends given to them by the Shaofu.

It is precisely because the Shaofu prepared unequal share dividends for officials above the fifth grade of the Ming Dynasty that these bigwigs in the Ming Dynasty would spend their lives throwing money at the Royal Academy, and they would desperately want to Expansion to the outside world, because the more achievements of the Royal Academy, the richer the business types of Shaofu will be, the larger the territory opened to the outside world, the larger the market of Shaofu, and the more dividends they can get.

Still take Zeng Cheng as an example: Zeng Cheng’s monthly salary is 20 yuan, but the dividends from Shaofu are as high as 2 to [-] yuan. For dividends, Zeng Cheng can get at least [-] dragon yuan a year, which is [-] taels of silver.

Although it can't be compared with the three-year magistrate of the Qing Dynasty, the money is not hot to hold. You don't have to worry about the tax department under the Ministry of Households coming to the door, nor the Jin Yiwei, and you don't have to worry about the Yushi Yamen and the Ducha. The hospital is looking for trouble.

It is precisely because of this that corruption in Daming is more common among officials below the fifth rank, while officials above the fifth rank rarely become corrupt.

But when Zeng Cheng, Liu Heming and other bigwigs secretly felt sorry for the money bag, Zhu Jinsong turned his attention to Ke Zhiming again: "Is there anything else going on with Europa?"

Ke Zhiming shook his head, bowed and replied: "Your Majesty Qizuo, that's all the news about Europa for the time being, and there is nothing else, but..."

As soon as the subject changed, Ke Zhiming glanced down at Zeng Cheng and Minister of Rites Meng Fanzhi, and then continued: "Recently, there are a lot of Ming people visiting Europe, especially those rich merchants, or the homes of honored ministers and relatives. "

"When these people arrive in Europa, they tend to shop a lot. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, they will pay for it as long as they see novelty and fun. There are even many people who have purchased properties on Europa, so that Europa people will us The common people of the Ming Dynasty regard it as a fat sheep with a lot of money, um, a fool with a lot of money.”

Meng Fanzhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was immediately stunned.

Does this have anything to do with the Ministry of Rites?In fact, it really doesn't matter, after all, the Ministry of Rites has a lot of subordinate yamen, but none of them can control the people of Ming Dynasty to go shopping at sea.

But it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites, right?However, the Ministry of Rites has the responsibility to educate the world, and now the common people of Ming Dynasty are regarded as fat sheep with a lot of money by the barbarians overseas, and the Ministry of Rites must also be involved.

Thinking of this, Meng Fanzhi simply bowed with a bitter face: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I'm guilty!"

However, Zhu Jinsong said with a smile: "What is Meng Qing's crime? People can go out to play, and have money to buy some rare things that have never been seen before. It shows that the lives of our Ming people are better, and it also shows that we The efforts of the monarchs and ministers over the years have not been in vain."

"If the people of Ming Dynasty are too poor to go out to play, and dare not buy anything even after going out for a while, it means that our monarchs and ministers are not doing well enough to make the people rich."

"As for those barbarians who regard us Daming people as fat sheep with a lot of money..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinsong couldn't help laughing again, and said: "For example: Zhang San ran to France with [-] Ming Long Yuan, bought a yard for [-] Long Yuan, and spent another One hundred yuan to accept the concubine, and find a job in France by the way—after a few years, France will gradually develop, and the yard that Zhang San bought may be sold for a thousand Long Yuan, tell me, who is stupid?"

Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs were stunned immediately, and Liu Huaiwen asked stupidly: "So, what kind of game will your majesty let George III and Louis XVI use to rejuvenate the country with real estate?"

Zhu Jinsong smiled and nodded: "Yes, if you want to cheat them, there are thousands of ways to cheat them. Like this game of real estate rejuvenating the country, they have to say thank you after cheating them, so there is no need to do it. bloody."

But after laughing, Zhu Jinsong's complexion darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his tone of voice was also full of chills: "I've finished talking about Europa, now it's time to talk about our Daming - according to me As we all know, our businessmen in Ming Dynasty are very arrogant, what kind of things like flintlock guns and percussion guns, are they not afraid to make and sell them privately?"

The complexions of Zeng Cheng and other big bosses also darkened, and Ke Zhiming, who was the commander of Jinyiwei, bowed anxiously and said: "I am guilty!"

Zeng Cheng and the others were not surprised at all by saying that the merchants of Ming Dynasty dared to build flintlock guns and percussion guns in private.

In fact, apart from the fact that Ming merchants dare not engage in the drug business in the local Ming Dynasty, there is basically nothing they dare not do, from privately manufacturing knives, guns and sticks, flintlock guns, percussion guns, and even shells. From armaments and firearms to participating in the business of buying and selling piglets on Europa, these bastards perfectly explained what it means to be bold.

And the reason why the merchants of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to engage in the drug business in the local area of ​​the Ming Dynasty was because the Ming Dynasty’s crackdown on the drug business has reached a frenzied level-the ones that sell directly destroy the family, and it is normal to implicate the three and nine clans. The light is beheading, and the heavy is Ling Chi, so there is no living space for drugs in the Ming Dynasty.

And in Europa, Ottoman, West Kunlun, or Silly Eagle and Sand Goose, these big Ming businessmen who are like wild dogs are selling drugs like crazy, and even some bastards have already done a good job and started recruiting. Their own army escorts the drug business.

As for things like knives, guns, sticks, flintlocks, percussion guns, or shells, it’s even more unnecessary. Although these bastards didn’t dare to make privately in Ming Dynasty, they did fly over Europa.

Let's put it this way, the business of these bastards has seriously affected the foreign arms trade profits of Southern Weapons and Northern Industries.

This also means that Shaofu's profits will decrease, and the dividends that Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs can get will also decrease simultaneously.

Zeng Cheng said with a gloomy face: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, I think that people who ignore the laws and regulations of the country should be killed!"

Liu Heming also snorted coldly and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I seconded the proposal, we must not allow these bastards to mess around in Europa, so as not to affect the balance of the situation in Europa."

But Zhu Jinsong just nodded, but Liu Huaiwen stood up with a dark face, glared at Zeng Cheng fiercely and said: "Mr. Zeng Ge said that they ignore the laws and regulations of the country, but they don't know which state or county in our Ming Dynasty they violated the law." ?”

After beating Zeng Cheng, Liu Huaiwen pointed the finger at Liu Heming again: "You don't talk about the balance of the situation in Europa with the old man. If you really want to talk about the situation in Europa, is there anything more extreme than what your Five Armies Commander's Mansion and their Jinyiwei have done? "

After being told by Liu Huaiwen, Zeng Cheng and Liu Heming were immediately stunned. After the two quietly looked at each other, Liu Heming couldn't help but asked tentatively: "Uncle Huaiwen, this is..."

Liu Huaiwen sneered, ignored Ke Zhiming, and directly bowed to Zhu Jinsong and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I think that although these businessmen have done a lot, what they did was done overseas and did not offend us. Daming’s law, just a little reprimand and a fine?”

Zhu Jinsong looked at Zeng Cheng and Liu Heming, who were bewildered, and then at Liu Huaiwen, who was aggrieved, and suddenly laughed and said, "Uncle Huaiwen, tell me honestly, these bastards How much tax did you pay the treasury last year?"

Liu Huaiwen's face changed, and he said awkwardly: "It's about taxation, isn't it, this, it's only [-] million dragon yuan, um, a little more."

Zhu Jinsong simply ignored Liu Huaiwen-the extra tax of more than [-] million yuan, how can this be called a little more?What's the difference between this and some [-] tons or more than [-] taels!
Zhu Jinsong snorted coldly and said, "The reason why I'm talking about these bastards today is because some of them stretched their hands too far, and they've secretly set up trigger guns."

"Although the percussion gun is not considered a secret now, but these bastards use our Ming's technology to do it overseas, and there is already a risk of leaking the secret."

After being told by Zhu Jinsong, Liu Huaiwen immediately lost his temper.

There is one thing to say, the technical content of the percussion gun itself is not high, not only Daming can produce it, but there are also a lot of countries in Europa that can produce it.

However, the percussion guns produced by those countries in Europe are far inferior to the percussion guns produced by Ming Dynasty in terms of accuracy, range, and reliability. The reason is because of technical differences in design concepts, materials used, and bullet manufacturing.

And the difference in these aspects is not so difficult to catch up.

It can't be said that you can learn it at a glance, at least you can get it done with drawings and documents.
