The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 505
Zhao Shimin also happily told his mentor that as early as Tianqi's sixth year school scientific research class began to study the idea of ​​the owner's hot air balloon. After five years of repeated trial production, it has now been able to successfully carry people into space.

There are too many researchers in the scientific research class who are keen on this hot air balloon that can take people to the sky. The team has more than 100 students in the scientific research class. They are all hobbyists and believe that it can be used in the military soon.

Huang Sheng is very happy. If the hot air balloon can be lifted into the sky, even if it can only be fixed in place and cannot fly, it will have a great effect.

Two scouts in the hot air balloon basket raised 100 meters high can use high-powered binoculars to see whether there is any enemy mobilization within a radius of [-] miles.

He told Zhao Shimin not to rush into scientific research. While giving enough funds to the scientific research team, he also urged them to pay attention to safety, and to avoid casualties as much as possible.

After talking about work, Zhao Shimin went back to report to the Patriarch that his sister had given birth to a son to the Patriarch. This time, he was entrusted by his sister to ask the Patriarch to give the son a name.

Huang Sheng learned that Zhao Rui gave birth to the second child without any risk, and that it was a natural delivery. He lightly gave birth to a big fat boy weighing seven catties. He was overjoyed, and his heart was relieved.

He already had a daughter and three sons. Huang Sheng sighed and felt very excited, so he named the third son Huangshan.

This name is pleasant to hear and easy to remember, and I can immediately know the ranking of this kid, so that in the future, there will be a lot of sons who will not be able to figure out who is who.

Gu Shanhai has arranged for the construction of three docks on Hainan Island. The person in charge of forging the keel is Lu Ping, a senior blacksmith who was rescued from Shitou Village. Knowledge has been extraordinary.

Lu Ping is now an authority in forging, riveting, and expanding joints. He has trained more than [-] apprentices, and everyone is the backbone of the steel factory.

After plundering a country, the wealth gained was incomparable. Huang Sheng did not keep any gold and silver treasures, and expanded investment as much as possible to increase domestic demand, turning these wealth into cities, warships, and industrial areas.

The Huang family is really not short of money. Not only did they get more than 5000 million taels of wealth from building slaves’ lairs and destroying the country of Dayue, but all industries are now making profits, and even farming has benefited. A virtuous circle has formed.

The most worth mentioning is that the reputation of the "Huaxia Big Bank" has begun to show. Last year, the deposits in Shanbei Zhili reached 800 million taels. Too many officials entrusted their relationships to approve notes and expect to enjoy the [-]% annual interest rate of large deposits. treatment.

With a large amount of funds, it is of course necessary to accelerate the flow of funds and invest in large projects led by government actions.

Hiring a large number of workers will alleviate the employment crisis. There are too many refugees in Ming Dynasty who have nothing to do. It is Huang Sheng's pursuit to give them jobs so that they can earn their own living and become well-off.

Cai'er, who had been away for more than a year, finally saw the master, she was so excited that she couldn't cry, seeing that Zhao Rui gave birth to a second child but she didn't move, she couldn't wait...

She has made remarkable achievements in the past year. She not only traveled all over Nanzhili, but also assisted the "Huaxia Big Bank", the Grand Theater, and the post office to open all the state capitals in Nanzhili, even the richer counties.

Huang Sheng knew the history, there would be more than ten years of peace in the prosperous Jiangnan without his own disturbance, in this era, with the Huang family, Jiangnan would never be allowed to be destroyed, so no effort should be spared in managing this place.

It is also necessary to send a large number of agents to lurk in Nanzhili, and slowly manipulate the intelligence agents of the Huang family to take positions. Relationships are easy to work out.

Immediately, the imperial court will vigorously advocate the formation and training of the village valor regiment, which will require too many military officers. Unfortunately, the Huang family has a lot of military officers who can train soldiers.

The Huang family has money and food and can train strong soldiers. It is a matter of course to master the regiments and armed forces in various places. As for who these armed forces will ultimately be loyal to, I am afraid it is hard to say.

Most of the indigenous officials in a place are agents of the Huang family, and the inspectors and regimental military officers who have mastered the armed forces are also the intelligence agents of the Huang family.

How many of these high-ranking officials who read sage books really have the ability to govern one side?Military equipment, finances, food, and mouthpieces are all firmly controlled. In the end, the uncrowned king of the Jiangnan flower world is of course Huang Sheng.

Cai'er brings an unprecedented crew to the new territory of Jiaozhi, and of course she will entertain and teach immediately.

The grand theaters of "New Suzhou", Annan Port, and "Annan City" began to perform at the same time. Entertainment in this era is too scarce, and the ordinary people of Shengdou can't even hope for it.

In order for the drama to be shared by the people of the Huang family system, the theater tickets sold in Jiaozhi are not at a jaw-dropping price. Ordinary theater tickets are only [-] yuan, private box tickets are only [-] yuan, and there are [-] theater tickets for each performance. Benefits and incentives are given to workers and farmers for free.

The majestic and magnificent Grand Theater has long been noticed by countless ordinary people. Hearing that the performances will start soon, soldiers and civilians who have opened up the territory are rushing to tell each other, and everyone is vying to buy theater tickets.

Under Huang Sheng's instruction, Cai Er has been sparing no effort in digging and recruiting performing arts talents all over the Ming Dynasty.

The Huang family's production team is famous all over the world, and the production team is not short of money. Their annual net income is several 10 taels of silver.

Rich, famous, official background or government action, it is too convenient to do things with these plug-ins, too many musicians and singers in Nanzhili volunteered to take the initiative, and there are also down-and-out literati who specialize in writing libretto. The team has grown more than six times.

The team that wrote the libretto, the script, and the music alone consisted of more than a hundred people, among whom children and students accounted for the majority, and there were also many scholars in Shaoxing.

Energetic actors take turns on the stage every day. "New Suzhou", "Annan City" and "Annan Port" are performed three times a day. It can be said that there are many good shows, and the theaters are full. The theater that can accommodate 500 people is full of seats.

Although the ticket revenue for each game is only 50 taels of silver, money cannot be used to measure spiritual food.

What's more, the production crew can still earn 10,000% of the total box office revenue, even if the cost is removed. The seven or eight crews of the production team perform no less than thousands of performances every year, and the profit of [-]+ taels can be guaranteed.

As long as any industry can maintain continuous profitability, it will generate momentum and develop sustainably, and the crew is no exception. With too many opportunities for training, talents will continue to emerge.

Too many poor people who have just immigrated to Cochin have no experience at all. One day they will sit in a magnificent theater and enjoy the dreamlike performances on the stage. Everyone will talk about it for how long.

Watching the opera also brought about an unexpected result. People in the new territory were enthusiastic about learning Huangjia Mandarin, and learning to write Chinese characters was a waste of sleep and food.

At the same time, the comic strips that were listed on the market were sought after, and the common people rushed to buy them because they had spare money in their hands.

This is because Huang Sheng bought the harvest of the common people in the fields at a higher price than that given to Guangnan, and gave the high price of five qian silver and one stone of rice.

Huang Sheng bought rice in Guangnan for only four cents and five cents. The price he paid for the rice from the people in his own system was higher than that of rice, which directly led to an increase in the disposable income of the people.

For example, if a family cultivates [-] mu of paddy fields, the average yield of three ripe rice is one stone, five buckets to two stones per mu, and it can get about five stones.

Aside from the cost, land rent and the rations of their own family, this family can earn more than 30 taels of silver. This is not counting some family-style farming and growing some cash crops such as vegetables and fruits.

The Huang family system strongly advocated reading and literacy, and every Baojia held night schools to teach ordinary people how to write and do arithmetic.

After publicity, the common people know the benefits of studying culture, and know that as long as they study well, peasants like them can have a future. When they become security chiefs, their salary will immediately improve a lot. Also very likely.
