The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Accompanied by Wu Zhongming, Zheng Luo submitted the qualifier he received from Shandong Dusi to Boni Dusi Yamen. The person in charge of Kefang, Qian Shi, learned that he was an officer from Shandong and came out to greet him enthusiastically.

Although the two sides are not in the same department and there is a gap in level, Boni Dusi is overseas after all, and most people are very enthusiastic towards people from the country and often communicate with them.

Although Zheng Luo is not a senior military attache, he is still a general. If he leaves the province without any reason, especially going to sea, no matter what the reason is, he needs to register with the local Dusi Yamen.

Then obtain the certificate issued by Shandong Dusi Yamen, sign in at Boni Dusi, and then return to Shandong with the ink pad stamped with Boni Dusi, you need to go to the Dusi Yamen where the provincial capital is located for verification.

Under normal circumstances, there will be no problems, and no one will specifically check it. After all, it is such a long distance. However, in theory, Bonidus' daily management affairs, as well as various charter data, etc., will be sent back to the country regularly.

Even if Zheng Luo cheated and did not really come to Boni, then Boni Dusi must have no record of Zheng Luo's local registration. According to the regulations, it can be found out.

However, it is one thing in theory and another in practice. There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. As long as people are willing to specialize in research, people's creativity is unlimited, so there is never perfect management.

Because of Qian Shi's enthusiasm, the three of them had a meal in the city.

After the meal, Wu Zhongming took Zheng Luo back to the manor to rest for a while. In the afternoon, he took Zheng Luo to visit his land, including some woodlands.

Early on the next morning, Wu Zhongming took several long-term workers from his family and equipped them with long guns, long bows, short blunderbuss, bird blunderbuss, and various supplies, including kettles, knives, long knives, etc.

After riding on the horses in the manor, one for each person, and two pack horses, plus Wu Zhongming's eldest son who was less than ten years old, and several neighbors next door, the group of more than ten people was quite lively.

After riding for two hours and looking at the sky, everyone found an open place to set up camp.

Wu Zhongming, Zheng Luo and several other neighbors gathered together to chat and discuss the situation of the prey. There were many wild animals in Boni, many of which were not available in China. Of course, there were also many in Boni that were not available in China.

"It's incredible that there are places in the world without horses."

Zheng Luo couldn't help but sigh.

"Actually, there are no horses in the south." The owner of the manor next door to Wu Zhongming was also a soldier in the past. He was a sentry officer before retiring from the army. He started studying in these years.

He became rich in life for a long time and began to pursue higher pursuits. Many of the surrounding couplets were written by him.

Zheng Luo asked suspiciously: "You mean the Guangdong and Guangxi areas?"

The man nodded and said with a smile: "There were no horses in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions in the earliest times, but horses were the main land transportation at that time. There were no railways at that time, and the Guangdong and Guangxi regions did not produce horses until Qin Shihuang sent an army there. In the south, although Zhao Tuo established the South Vietnam Kingdom on his own, he did play a huge role in promoting the development of productivity in the south at that time, not only bringing advanced systems and culture, but also rich materials, including horses from the Central Plains."

Hearing this answer, Zheng Luo didn't know whether to believe it or not. After all, there have been horses in Guangdong and Guangxi for a long time, but people have never thought about where these horses first came from.

"Many species were spread through exchanges, including many food sources in the Ming Dynasty. They were introduced from abroad very early, not only food, but also good tools, knowledge, etc."

"So what Ming Dynasty has achieved today is not only brought about by the development of industrialization, but also by frequent exchanges with other regions, which not only promoted local development, but also gained insights from civilization, and its own civilization has also been more soundly supplemented."

"As the saying goes, the more developed the economy, the more open the civilization, the more open the civilization, and the more frequent exchanges. It is an inevitable phenomenon in the development of things. It can even be said the other way around." The man went on for a long time.

Zheng Luo, who had just come into contact with this person, had a look of disbelief on his face.

Soon after, the long-term workers set up tents and prepared the food they brought one by one. Wu Zhongming invited everyone to have a dinner. After a rich lunch, everyone officially embarked on the hunting process.

The bonfire at night, the source of food is the harvest in the afternoon.

Then we camped for one night, and on the morning of the second day, everyone started to return.

Wu Zhongming then led Zheng Luo to the largest city in Boni Dusi, where he had gone to Dusi Yamen to do business. They held a grand banquet at the best hotel in the city, accompanied by local people.

Zheng Luo told some stories about how he and Wu Zhongming followed His Royal Highness on the journey, and the locals also told some local anecdotes. All parties at the banquet were very happy and had a lot of communication.

Another day later, Wu Zhongming accompanied Zheng Luo to visit other areas of Bonidusi and the lives of the manor owners there, and they had a warm exchange.

After half a month, Zheng Luo was already very familiar with Bonidus.

Not only did he travel a lot, but he also made a lot of friends. At least when he came back next time, even if Wu Zhongming was not around, he would be able to find someone he could temporarily seek refuge with.

"What a treasure."

Because of many years of living in military camps in seven western provinces, Zheng Luo has accumulated a lot of vacations. Vacations in the army can be accumulated and there is no way to clear them, so Zheng Luo's vacations are very long.

But he had to leave after all. Zheng Luo had a conversation with Wu Zhongming in the room.

The owner of the manor is rich.

This money comes from the land. Although it is not as good as the factory, there are thousands of acres of land. Although the long-term workers are poor, it is enough for the manor owner and his family to live a decent life.

It is the premise of the industrial revolution in Western society - market demand.

Regardless of the original intention of the West, batches of poor people were exiled to the New World over the course of hundreds of years. Relying on their tenacious vitality and the huge differences in civilization between the two sides, these poor people gradually established settlements one after another.

This is also the reason why the number of British immigrants in the New World is more than ten times that of France.

France is indeed more civilized than Britain, but because of this, French people are generally wealthier and more peaceful than Britain. No one wants to leave the country, but Britain is different.

The poorer you are, the more people leave.

Especially after the initial market was established and the phenomenon of sheep cannibalism occurred, the British people could no longer survive. Going to the New World was the only option, leaving only a miserable life.

Just like at the end of the Qing Dynasty, ordinary people who could not survive spontaneously broke into Guandong, bringing a population base to the prosperity of Northeast China.

Because of the huge gap in civilization, the settlements established by immigrants began to have wider fields. With the abundance of food, there began to be demand for trade, and markets began to rise.

With the rise of bazaars, towns were gradually established, stimulating a larger economic and trade cycle and assisting the increase in influence.

It is completely out of the question how a tribal civilization without armor technology, horses, or iron smelting industry could be a rival to the feudal forces and equipped with armor, weapons, and firearms.

The birth of huge emerging markets has stimulated the development of trade, upgraded the industrial cycle system, and created qualitative changes.

In short, when there are more land resources, there are more landowners. When there are more landowners, there is more consumption power. When there is more consumption power, the market becomes bigger. When the market becomes bigger, factories are born. Factories are born. All walks of life The bottlenecks encountered in expanding production in various industries were solved one by one, and the Industrial Revolution emerged.

This is a constant truth.

Including the achievements of later generations, they are just this set of phenomena.

It gained exchanges from the world, established a global trade system, and also increased resources. It introduced cheap and high-quality ores, oil and natural gas from all over the world, and produced various primary industrial products for sale around the world.

Zheng Luo doesn't understand these profound economic theories, but he has traveled to many places, seen what the country is like, and also seen the changes in the seven western provinces, including the northern Tianzhu region.

From the changes in the land of Boni, Zheng Luo saw that a new atmosphere was being born.

People here are very wealthy.

Of course, this wealth refers to groups like Wu Zhongming, who relied on the large-scale well system and the overseas optimized large-scale well system to cultivate a broad consumer population with spending power.

Although the total population of Boni is not large, there are hundreds of thousands of manor owners, direct and indirect long-term and day laborers, and the affected population is at least several million, including most of Boni's indigenous population.

The management scope of Bonidusi includes the original three kingdoms of Sulu and the Wenlang Mashen area in the south. Due to the scattered tribes, there is no detailed population data. In such a vast area, the population is about seven to eight million.

If you include Sumatra Island in the west, Old Port Xuanweisi and other areas, the entire indigenous population is probably tens of millions. The backward civilized system could not compete with the Ming Dynasty, and the promotion of the vassal system in the Ming Dynasty played a significant role in the stability of overseas regions.

Stability, prosperity, law, system, culture.

All the prerequisites for economic development are in place. Zheng Luo believes that the development of Bonidus will not be worse than that of the Tianzhu region. Even because there is more blank space, the development may be better. After all, the power and culture of the Tianzhu region are too different. Too complicated.

"It would be great if His Royal Highness could entrust this place."

Zheng Luo asked tentatively.

"what?"

Wu Zhongming was stunned and did not react.

Zheng Luo explained: "You and I both know that His Highness the County Prince is not willing to be down-to-earth and cannot be restrained, so he has been reluctant to return to the capital for many years. However, people always have to face reality, so King Toyama's path, This is the best way for your Royal Highness."

"What about the seven western provinces, or the Tianzhu region?"

Wu Zhongming was a little reluctant in his heart, but he also knew that he was nothing. The seven western provinces were so big, and the Tianzhu region was even bigger. Picking a place at random would not be much better than Boni.

Zheng Luo shook his head.

The Ming Dynasty was very disgusted with the vassal kings. The reason why King Toyama was able to successfully divide the feudal lords was not only because of Emperor Taizong, but also because King Toyama’s fiefdom was far away overseas, and it was in a frontline place like Toyama against the remaining natives of Daying Island.

Coupled with the environment, humanities, and complex situation of Daying Island, King Toyama was unable to resist the court and could only play the role of stabilizing the region.

But the seven western provinces are different. They are connected to the mainland, and the geographical environment is favorable. The main transportation with the country can only rely on corridors. It is very easy to become a country on its own. Therefore, the imperial court will never agree to the establishment of a vassal king in the seven western provinces. .

Under the governance of the Ming Dynasty for many years, the seven western provinces have become one. This does not mean that the local areas have merged into one, but that the culture has become unified, and there is a basis for great unification. If the vassal kings are really established here, it will be tantamount to laying the foundation for the future. The prototype of a great empire may be split.

It is even more impossible in Tianzhu area.

The richness of the land in the Tianzhu area allowed the Daming Industrial Bureau and private commercial banks to take the lead. The two sides competed fiercely in the local area. No one gave in, and both could see the future potential of the Tianzhu area.

There is a railway plan under discussion from Samarkand to northern Tianzhu in the north, and a plan for the Nanyang Railway to penetrate into southern Tianzhu in the east. The imperial court will not agree to the establishment of a vassal in the Tianzhu area.

Daying Island's ten-year immigration plan has been summarized, and the court's next main immigration direction is the Tianzhu area.

Juedao has a great reputation.

Although it is an island, the land area is very vast. I heard that the land area is ten times that of Boni!

For such a huge island, according to many years of detection, the local tribal population does not exceed one million, probably more than 700,000.

what is this?

This is a huge treasure trove.

But precisely because the area is too huge and the population is indeed too small, although the potential is very huge, even relying on local advantages, private commercial banks can actually defeat the coal mines, iron ores and other resources in the north in Nanyang, which is already a shocking achievement. .

But compared to the current Boni, which has hundreds of thousands of manor owners, this is the best fiefdom and is more mature.

Moreover, Jue Dao is to the south of Boni. If the county king can seal this place, wouldn't he indirectly threaten Jue Dao?

Zheng Luo did not tell all his plans, but only selected some things to convince Wu Zhongming. Wu Zhongming thought for a moment and reluctantly agreed with Zheng Luo's idea.

It's not because of the enfeoffment, but because of the superior relationship with the county king.

Wu Zhongming could not betray the prince.

Because the king has not sorry for himself.

Zheng Luo left Boni, and Wu Zhongming was speechless for a long time. Can the county king really successfully entrust Boni?

Agricultural technology was very developed in Ming Dynasty and has advantages since ancient times.

In the rubber estates that emerged in Southeast Asia, workers started from seed selection, storage and transportation, germination, transplanting, tending and cultivating rootstocks, to soil preparation, soil improvement, planting, replanting, fertilization and irrigation.

In the same way as farming, large rubber gardens replaced the traditional cash crops of Nanyang.

Cha Am Xuan Wei Si, Hua Hin Xuan Wei Si, Sukhothai Du Si, Chiang Rai Xuan Fu Si, Chiang Mai Xuan Fu Si, Mae Phong Sui Xuan Fu Si, etc., even including areas such as Jeddah Domain, etc., can be found anywhere Meet the rubber estate.

This was the confidence that Nanyang businessmen had to completely defeat the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau in the rubber industry, just as the businessmen of Juedao defeated the coal and iron ore merchants in the Seinan-Korea region under the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau system.

A shopping mall is like a battlefield, where the right time, place, and people are equally indispensable.

The Emperor ensures a level playing field.

Local resource advantages.

Stronger relationships in the land.

It's just the right time, right place and right people.

A large number of absorbed indigenous long-term workers work in the rubber estate for a long time. Every season when the workload becomes busy, the rubber estate will absorb a large number of short-term workers from the surrounding areas to enter the rubber estate to collect latex.

Then the collection, coagulation, and tableting of natural fresh latex and gel begin.

In the process of dehydrating, granulating, and drying fresh latex, permanent workers are used for positions that require certain skills, and management positions must be filled by Ming Dynasty talents. This is the bottom line drawn by the Workers' and Civilian Union.

Provide support to emerging industries in disguise.

Under the circumstances of limited profits, in order to maximize popularization and promote the development of productivity, we agreed in disguise to the request of Nanyang businessmen to start using local cheap labor.

Ordinary workers in the Daming Industrial Bureau have received a salary increase of two yuan and fifty cents per month.

And all over the world, especially overseas, there are countless cheap animals that can work hard as long as they have enough to eat. Putting an end to the phenomenon of illegal workers in the Ming Dynasty's trading system is not only the main task of the Workers' and Civilian Union Ministry, but also Things that the Ming court prevented.

Putting an end to bad money and driving out good money is also a favorable slogan for the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau to deal with private commercial banks.

With the expansion of the rubber industry, the role of rubber has become more and more prominent, and all walks of life have begun to use rubber. Not only the factories where rubber was directly born, but also shipyards, steam engine factories, etc. have begun to get involved in rubber.

The annual surge in the rubber industry has directly stimulated the nerves of the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau.

After the first failure in energy competition and the second failure in emerging industry competition, the Daming Industrial Bureau is now eager to win the Tianzhu market.

However, in order to win the Tianzhu market, the land routes in the seven western provinces are not as advantageous as the sea routes. However, the scale and power of private commercial banks in Nanyang are getting larger and larger, which has become an obstacle to the expansion and development of the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau in the Tianzhu market.

After all, the Goryeo region and the Daeyoudo region are mature places.

The Goryeo region provided the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau with an incremental era of thirty years. Now it has entered the stock era, and development has begun to slow down. However, the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau is getting larger and larger and requires more benefits.

Taking the Goryeo region as a guide, Daying Island has provided the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau with more than ten years of incremental growth. In the next ten years, the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau must find a new era of dividends, which is Tianzhu.

"Whoever controls Tianzhu's market and Tianzhu's regional resources will be able to control the incremental dividends for at least fifty years."

Han Qi, the boss of the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau, delivered an important speech at the highest meeting of the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau system.

Everyone is gearing up.

Everyone feels the crisis. (End of chapter)
