I am Da Song

In the vertical arch hall, everyone was shocked by the emperor's youth.

Especially those captains, sailors and bodyguard warriors who have been wandering at sea all year round, they clearly remember that this year's Tianshou Festival is the sixth birthday of Guanjia No.40.

But compared with this official who is nearly fifty years old, the vicissitudes on their faces seem to be [-]% better.

There are a few people who have been rough and vicissitudes like grandparents.

But when these grandfathers counted their birthdays, they were born in the same year as the official family who seemed to be young.

Everyone forcibly suppressed the shock in their hearts, cupped their hands and saluted and said: "I will pay homage to the official family, all blessings."

Zhao Huan waved his hand casually, and said, "Excuse me, everyone will be given a seat. This time I called you to the palace, mainly because the imperial court wants to know about the situation in Nanyang from you."

Han Sui spoke on behalf of everyone, and said hastily, "Your servant must know everything and say everything."

Zhao Huan said straight to the point: "As far as the court knows, the trade in Nanyang is mainly spices?"

Han Sui nodded immediately and said, "It's true, the official. Nanyang trade is called the Maritime Silk Road, also known as the Spice Road."

Zhao Huan said: "Han Qing has worked in Nanyang for a long time and is familiar with Nanyang trade. You might as well tell the ministers present here about the situation of Nanyang trade in detail."

Han Sui nodded slightly to the court officials present, his attitude was definitely not respectful, it could only be described as a polite nod.

This is very different from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.Under the environment that Song Dynasty encouraged business and industry, he had already reached the top in the promotion system of businessmen, so he already had some privileges of capitalists.

Moreover, he is worth tens of millions, and he no longer needs to bow down to officials.

In the Song Dynasty, except for the emperor, most of the ministers had to treat him with courtesy.This is especially true of local officials.

Because he invested hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars, the workshops opened in the local area can directly boost the level of local social wealth.

Never underestimate the benefits that a large factory can bring to the local area.

Industry is the industry that can create social wealth the most. If a county or a district can have a large factory, it is richer than other regions.

Young adults who carry out industrial production in workshops will inevitably earn far more wages than farmers in other districts and counties.

This distance is a huge span.

Basically, it is equivalent to when people in other districts and counties are still wearing patched clothes and eating sweet potatoes and corn pancakes.The children of the families of professional craftsmen in the workshops can already wear precious brocade clothes, and eating meat is no longer a luxury.Childish obesity has become a common social problem that needs to be worried.

All this is especially true for the central and western regions of the Great Song Dynasty. The local ordinary people are still in the last period of the small-scale peasant economy.

In the industrial cities in the eastern region, the descendants of citizens, craftsmen, workshop owners, and merchants are already rich enough to eat meat every meal and walk in fine clothes.When the Jin Dynasty was first established, although the maids and servants also wore Luo Qi's splendid historical records, they had already reappeared in the Central Plains.

Of course, all this is uneven. Even in the eastern region, there are villages without workshops.

...

Therefore, young people in schools, academies, county schools, and state schools are very different. Some of them wear simple clothes, such as coarse linen clothes, which are hand-stitched by their mothers and grandmothers. Stitched patches.And some people are already dressed in beautiful clothes, glamorous, as if they are white people who have walked out of the peach garden in the world.

Don't think that the officials are extremely stupid, crude and superficial. In fact, these officials are the elites rolled out of hundreds of millions of people in the Song Dynasty. You can accuse them of being lazy and slack in politics, but don't doubt their vision and IQ.Otherwise, they would be too stupid to be them.

They understand the meaning of the workshop better than ordinary people. It not only provides thousands of jobs, but also the financial pillar of the whole place. Any large workshop that moves out means that hundreds of thousands of dollars will be lost. Income, there will be tens of thousands of government officials who will not be able to receive normal salaries.

Whether the officials in the county are well paid, rich in clothes and fine food, fresh clothes and angry horses, or eat bran and swallow vegetables, like Daming, who can't pay their salaries for several years, and send officials with broken cotton and broken charcoal.

It depends on whether the ruler can attract a wealthy businessman like Han Sui to invest and set up a factory. This is a real parent.

There is no official who is economical and does not pay attention to attracting investment in this area.

We must know that later generations of Western Advanced Chemical Group invested 200 billion euros to build a factory in Zhanjiang of China, and the vice-premier of China personally participated in the cutting ceremony, so it can be said that they did not take it lightly.

After all, this is a real investment, and a super-scale factory can bring a lot of jobs and financial income.

Under the background that the Song Dynasty needs to attract investment everywhere, officials, ministers and even the third envoy are very polite to Han Sui. He firmly believes that as long as he does not violate the taboo of the emperor, the court is very happy to see him, a wealthy businessman, with a large amount of wealth. Smashing, building workshops and shops.

This is the biggest difference between Zhao Huan and Zhu Yuanzhang. He doesn't mind that the richest man has more money. While the richest man builds a factory to make money for the richest man, he also brings a large number of people to become rich.

Just like the big factory code farmers in later generations, although they always complain about 996, their annual salary of one million is also real.Hundreds of thousands or even millions of employees of large factories, with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, and an annual salary of hundreds of thousands!And it is an upright and aboveboard income.Their one-year income alone is the wealth that countless ordinary farmers cannot earn in the fields in their entire lives.

What Zhao Huan hates are those rich people who get into the eyes of money and smell like copper, hide a lot of gold in the cellar and bring it to the tomb.

This money cannot be used for investment and production, and it cannot drive other people to become rich together. It will only widen the gap between the rich and the poor.

So Han Sui naturally has the capital to be proud. As long as he does not commit treason or commit crimes, even the life of the right minister is not as good as his life.

He said with some self-respect: "Officials say it is the Maritime Silk Road and the Maritime Spice Road. But I think these two names are inappropriate, very inappropriate. The name of the official must be More accurately, it should be called Road to Industrial Empire."

"You might as well ask the captains, what is the most cargo on their ships?"

"Anyway, as far as I know, the most valuable thing on a big ship sailing on the sea is gold, then porcelain, and then pearls, gemstones, coral, silver, etc. In fact, silk and spices are all in the back row. "

Zhao Huan nodded slightly, actually there was no need to ask, Zhao Huan also knew that what Han Sui said was the truth, which was consistent with Zhao Huan's later generations' cognition.
