The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 231 Using the Prophet to Opportunity
Guo Ming and Zhu Di belonged to the same generation, but the Guo family in Liaodong did not have a deep relationship with Yan Wangfu, and the roots of the two families came from different "mountain tops".

Due to chance, especially the big blue jade case, the Guo family, who belonged to the second-tier nobles in Ming Dynasty, suddenly became a key figure in the local real power faction in Liaodong, that is, a "node".

Zhu Di himself had no thoughts in this regard, nor did he think so far. He didn't know that he would lead troops out of Liao.

His sight was always on the north.

It was precisely because of this experience of going out of Liao that Zhu Di's attention fell on the Guo family, which laid the foundation for Zhu Di, who had successfully rebelled and became emperor many years later, to order the daughter of the Guo family to become the prince's side concubine.

It can be seen that the experience of the two in Liaodong gave them a good impression of each other, at least in Zhu Di's heart, Guo Ming is a good person.

Now through Zhu Gaochi's wing, the two families had an intersection ahead of time, and a request for marriage was born.

Therefore, in Liaodong, Guo Ming certainly did not let him support Zhu Di and gave him a lot of convenience, such as creating "reasons" to stay in Liaodong.

Without the help of the Guo family, the "tiger sitting on the ground", Zhu Di, as a "guest army", would not dare to act in such a "fair and honest" way.

As for King Liao, he hasn't even built the palace yet, he is still a young man who has just joined the feudal clan, and there is no one around him, only some eunuchs brought from Yingtian Mansion, what qualifications does he have to dare to talk to the fourth brother who is nearly 20 years older? Against.

In his heart, he is unaccompanied, thousands of miles away in the "wilderness" place, his relatives and fourth brother are still his support.

Guo Ming's temperament is a restrained person, he doesn't say a word, if he had any other temperament, he couldn't help but speak.

Zhu Di patted Guo Ming's shoulder, and said affectionately: "Princess Wang likes your girl very much. After seeing her off last year, she has never forgotten her."

"It's her blessing that the little girl is loved by the princess." Guo Ming said in a deep voice.

Zhu Di nodded, very satisfied with Guo Ming's attitude.

This person has a calm personality, has a degree in doing things, and is a talent who can take on big things.

This is the difference between middle-aged people and young people.

The experience of life has led to more knowledge in the society. If it were a young Liao king, he would have no idea in his heart.

"The widow has gone to Shufu Huang once again, trying to facilitate the in-laws of your two families." Zhu Di comforted and said: "No matter what the final result is, even if you are rejected in the end, the widow will choose the concubine from the small household, and the concubine of the prince is still yours. House's."

Of course, the side concubine of the son and concubine is not as good as the concubine of the son, the difference of one word is like a cloud and mud, but Zhu Di said that the concubine of the son will be selected from the small family, so Guo Ming no longer has any worries.

Although in the early Ming Dynasty, the righteousness of the name could not be done, but many people at that time did not think so, and felt that there was a lot to do.

For example, King Qin.

King Qin's main concubine is the daughter of a Mongolian nobleman, and his side concubine is the daughter of a founding nobleman. King Qin naturally pays more attention to the power of the side concubine's natal family.

Although the Deng family was involved in two major cases, resulting in the death of the head of the family twice, the relationship between factions in the military still exists.

Therefore, Qin Wang's thoughts were raging, and the candidate for the heir to Ying Tian's mansion was the daughter of the side concubine of the Deng family.

King Yan's promise to Guo Ming was tantamount to implicitly expressing a certain intention. Faced with this temptation and the friendship between the two for many days, Guo Ming immediately expressed his position, and only King Yan followed suit.

The two sides hit it off.

However, Zhu Di controlled the military power in Beiping and went out of Liao according to the order. With the assistance of Jinzhou and Guo Ming, his prestige in Liaodong became more and more "sinking".

It's not yet time to leave Liaodong. Compared with King Qin, who won a complete victory, and King Jin, who is not talented but works hard to catch up, Zhu Di has to be more patient.

King Qin has returned to Shaanxi, and King Jin has also returned to Shanxi. Zhu Gaochi, who stayed in Beiping, received a letter from his father telling him to stay in Liaodong.

As for the return date, because the chaos is still not settled, the return date is undecided.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't understand Zhu Di's thoughts.

It is easy to guess what King Qin is thinking, he must be unconvinced, everyone in the world knows, and many people think that King Qin has this strength.

Strength not only includes military power, but also fame and fame and so on.

King Qin's status makes him the No. 1 who is close to famous objects. Even though the emperor's grandson has been appointed, the emperor's grandson is young and the emperor is old.

Master Shaoguo doubts, this has been the case for thousands of years.

On the contrary, Zhu Di, although Zhu Di has a lot of military power, but not many people think that Zhu Di is more threatening than King Qin.

Zhu Di's threat to the country is not as good as King Jin.

Zhu Gaochi was "beaten" by Zhu Di several times. He thought that Zhu Di didn't have that kind of thought, and it was forced out by the later situation.

But now some of Zhu Di's actions made Zhu Gaochi hesitate, as if he guessed wrong.

"It's like accumulating food widely, building walls high, and becoming king slowly." Zhu Gaochi put down the letter in his hand and suddenly thought so.

There is also a deeper understanding of human nature.

Zhu Di knew that there was nothing to be done about the general situation, so his thoughts in some aspects were not as obvious as those of King Qin and King Jin.

But as a hero with outstanding talents, Zhu Di has done really well in some aspects.

Such as military power and people's hearts.

"It seems that the result of everything has a sequence to follow, and it didn't happen suddenly. Zhu Di's success was accidental, but also a certain kind of inevitable relationship."

Regardless of the true meaning of Zhu Di's thoughts, his current behavior is beneficial to Zhu Gaochi's plan.

People's thoughts are the most difficult to guess. Zhu Gaochi cannot know Zhu Di's thoughts, nor Ge Cheng's thoughts, nor Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

If Ge Cheng was a spy of Jin Yiwei, then his industrial development in Beiping could be said to have been displayed under Zhu Yuanzhang's nose from the very beginning.

If it is said that Zhu Yuanzhang was opposed, then Zhu Yuanzhang did not suppress it, but if it was said that he supported it, he did not give preferential treatment.

Will Zhu Yuanzhang guess his own thoughts? Zhu Gaochi dare not underestimate the old man's plan and his understanding of people's hearts.

After guessing and guessing, without a clue, Zhu Gaochi gave up.

One's own advantage lies in the context of industry and the development of the times, and it is a foolish behavior to look far away.

Zhu Gaochi gave up competing with these characters and turned to develop the industry with all his strength.

"This kind of investment is called the operation of capital, and the operation of capital needs the support of the bottom layer, otherwise it will be a castle in the air, which will lead to collapse sooner or later, causing an economic crisis, an act of destruction."

Zhu Gaochi held an internal meeting to prepare for the railway construction chamber of commerce.

More than a dozen shopkeepers, including the head of the finance department and the president of the food stamp bank, listened carefully to the little prince's explanation.

"The mining area produces iron, the iron factory produces rails, and the railway lays rails. The initial income of the railway cannot maintain this kind of operation."

"Moreover, the construction of the railway requires a lot of investment. In Beiping, it can be absorbed by the China Heavy Industry system through regulatory means. However, in Shaanxi and Shanxi, China Heavy Industry cannot dominate the two places, let alone control, so it will take a long time. A new model."

In Zhu Gaochi's heart, everything about the development of industry in Ming Dynasty has traces to follow, and there is no need to cross the river by feeling the stones.

In 1740, Britain’s iron production was 40 tons, 26 years later it was [-] tons, but in the following ten years, it directly doubled to [-] tons.

Seventeen thousand tons is 400 million catties, which is the beginning of the industrial development of Britain.

Peiping has a population of nearly 300 million, and the annual iron output is only 600 million catties. After three or four years, Zhu Gaochi increased it to 2000 million catties.

This achievement is far from being comparable to what later generations accomplished in the West for hundreds of years in 20 years.

You must know that in the current Daming, Daming also has advantages that later generations do not have, that is, Daming can crush the surroundings and has an extremely loose external environment.

Not to mention the various general trends and knowledge in Zhu Gaochi's hands, which not only has the advantage of central control, but also does not need to take detours to avoid various obstacles.

More than a dozen top managers of China Heavy Industry, carefully memorized their handwriting, they are all smart people and doers.

Theoretically, no one is unconvinced by the little prince. Only those who can keep up with the economic theory of the little prince and strictly follow this theory, and make achievements, can reach today's position.

"Then use the future income of the railway and the future income of the mining area to offset and fully digest the capital."

200 million taels of silver is equivalent to 400 million shi grains. This is the first phase of financing, and Zhu Gaochi cannot afford it.

The food stamp system created by China Heavy Industry cannot be undertaken, and it cannot be absorbed and controlled internally.

As for the construction of railways, in Shaanxi and Shanxi, there is no such hub as China Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. to deploy social models, so a large amount of capital is required.

Just like the achievement of building the railroad in the United States, using future earnings and absorbing a huge amount of capital, the plan was achieved.

"The only problem now is the negotiation with Prince Qin's Mansion. In the construction of the railway, business groups must be the main ones."

In terms of capital operation, which business group in Ming Dynasty is better than China Heavy Industry, the railway construction business group, the chamber of commerce established under the China Heavy Industry system, naturally dominated the railway construction business group.

Although there is no shadow of King Yan's Mansion in name, it is still controlled by Zhu Gaochi in fact, which he will not give up.

Otherwise, why would he spend so much energy developing Shaanxi?
If you can't help him in the battle of Jingnan, it's better to divert your strength to go to other places and wait until the whole country is in a game of chess to govern.

This became an unsolvable problem.

After the meeting, Zhu Gaochi called Zhou Shifeng and said quietly: "You can seduce King Qin.".

Zhou Shifeng didn't understand the meaning of the little prince's order.

King Qin's most glorious moment has arrived.

But he didn't live long.

There really isn't much time left.

That being the case, Zhu Gaochi thought that he could be tempted to think that he could control the railway construction business group.

"Let someone tell the King of Qin that as long as the railway construction business group enters Shaanxi, it is not necessary to be entangled in the name of the king of Qin on the territory of the King of Qin."

Zhou Shifeng couldn't believe it, and asked back: "This is also the trouble that my subordinates have worried about so far. Does the little prince have other ideas?"

"Let's ask the father to write a letter to the second uncle. After all, he is a real brother, and he will give you three points." Zhu Gaochi gave a reason casually.
