Chongzhen Undergraduates

Zhu Youjian lay drunk on the chair, but still held the wine glass in his hand and didn't let go.He propped his head on his left hand, his eyes were blurred, occasionally slowly raised his wine glass, and took a sip of the wine in the glass, as if he didn't want to wake himself up, but couldn't bear to let himself fall asleep.

Wang Chengen's footsteps were as light as an elder looking after a sleeping baby in the cradle. It may be that he is already old, so his steps seem extremely slow, without lightness.

"Do you think it's good now?" Zhu Youjian rolled his eyelids, looked at Wang Chengen with a half-smile and asked.

"It's already very good. I've been looking forward to this day since the first day I entered the palace with him. But ah, the sky doesn't come true. Every time I send it to the palace, it's bad news. .” Wang Chengen sighed deeply.

"Pfft!" There were only the two of them here, and it was also the same night, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but think of the night when he traveled here, it was also him and Wang Chengen.Zhu Youjian laughed!No one would know about his time travel, but he was seen through by this old monster on the night of his time travel.

"I'll tell you old guy, this is the first half of my time here, and it's much more than that. Otherwise, why did God ask me to come?!" Zhu Youjian stretched his right hand, talking drunkenly.

Wang Chengen paused in his heart, and looked at Zhu Youjian with doubts.But Zhu Youjian was so drunk that he didn't notice Wang Chengen's expression at all.

"Let me tell you, Daming shouldn't be like this. The people of Daming should live better. They should eat meat, every day, every meal. The merchants of Daming want to do business all over the world. I want Great Ming goods connect the world, Huitong the world"

"Eating meat every day, isn't that everyone is honored? Then how do you control the world?" Wang Chengen was surprised. According to his thinking, people can't eat too much. Eating meat has always been only during the New Year and festivals. Talented.Those who eat meat every day are noble people.If Daming were all nobles, it might be unstable.

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Wang Chengen yelled at Zhu Youjian, which hadn't happened for a long time.

"I didn't lie to you, I'm sure I can do it." Zhu Youjian still didn't notice, and he continued to talk to Wang Chengen about his ideals.

That night, Zhu Youjian talked a lot to Wang Chengen.Maybe because he couldn't find anyone to talk to, he took Wang Cheng'en as a listener.There are some words that he really dare not say.As a time traveler, the secret of time travel is naturally the less people know, the better.

For example, Wang Cheng'en, he would definitely not reveal it. If outsiders were to know that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty was a counterfeit, the country of the Ming Dynasty would definitely be bloody again.

However, Wang Chengen didn't dare to close his eyes that night, because he never thought that the future world would be a world without an emperor.This is tantamount to mobilizing Wang Chengen's pillar. He never thought about how to continue his life without a master.

Wang Chengen tried his best to drag Zhu Youjian's body, trying to make him sleep more comfortably, but when he looked at this face, it was a little strange.

A person's aura is determined by the environment and mood. At the beginning, the depressed Chongzhen lost his face at some point, and replaced him with this confident face. This face is not only full of confidence, but also full of ambition.

Will his ambition make Daming change into what he said?

Wang Chengen narrowed his eyes when he saw Zhu Youjian's face. Obviously, this was not the face Wang Chengen was looking forward to.

"Come here, help the emperor go back to the palace to rest!" Wang Chengen finally stood up and said something in a deep voice to the distance.In the darkness, four young eunuchs walked over quickly, and together they lifted the reclining chair and left quickly.

Chapter 645: The First Economic Work Meeting of Ming Dynasty

Ever since Jiu'er returned to Daming with the fleet, Zhu Youjian's ideals have reached a new level. From this day on, Daming officially entered another orbit.

Travelers always like to talk about industrialization, steam engines, flintlock guns and all kinds of appalling weapons.But in fact, the prosperity of any country depends on its economic prosperity to accumulate wealth.Especially when a powerful country in the age of firearms came out to plunder, it would probably only be a trading power.

The act of plundering seems to be a very passionate and exciting thing, but it doesn't make much sense if you watch it too much.It is like an anti-Japanese drama, watching a person holding a gun every day, facing the unsuspecting ending, will you be numb?

With the rise of trade, there is no market like Europe in Asia.Daming is an independent market, and the people of Daming are not interested in trade. Therefore, the best way for Daming's goods is to sell them and make money by exporting them.

As for export, it is necessary to start the industrial revolution, which is the key to the door.

We said earlier that the premise of the industrial revolution is that there must be a market. Otherwise, the products produced will not make money, and who will engage in industry?In the era when industry did not have real estate to make money, whoever engages in industry is an idiot.

Today is the imperial meeting held by Zhu Youjian himself. Those present at the meeting are all officials who have not been highly valued by the court in the past two years, such as Jin Shengheng, Xing Hongyan, Gao Guiying and so on.These people were all meritorious ministers in the early stage, but they couldn't continue to be the leaders in terms of ability.Zhu Youjian had to find something for these people to do.

"I summoned all my lovers here today for a major event." After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he glanced at everyone.

"Your Majesty, just tell me, which one you want me to fight, I am absolutely unambiguous." Jin Shengheng, who hadn't shown up for a long time, was actually here today, and he thought that the Emperor summoned him because he was going to reuse him again.In fact, Jin Shengheng's troops have already retreated to the second line, basically waiting for the fate of being abolished.

"I'm going to fight a war." As soon as Zhu Youjian finished speaking, everyone sat up straight, wanting to hear who the emperor was going to fight again.

"This battle does not require swords, guns, or cannons. The most important thing is to rely on one mouth and two legs." Zhu Youjian said.

"Your Majesty, how do you fight this battle? Can you kill someone without a knife?" Someone asked, and everyone was very curious. How could anyone fight without a weapon?

"Yes, I let you fight this battle to do business."

Boom, the meeting room suddenly became lively.The emperor's special imperial meeting did not discuss major national affairs, but directly talked about business.Although the ways of merchants are not discriminated against in the current Ming Dynasty, they are not valued.What's the matter?

"I have already decided that no matter whether it is the transferred veterans or the people recruited from the people, all of you will participate in the wave of doing business. I hope that you will rely on one mouth and two legs to sell goods from all over the world to everyone. villages and towns, and all over the world to "

Zhu Youjian knew one thing, if the private trade of the Ming Dynasty was allowed to develop freely, at least not for a hundred years, the trade of the Ming Dynasty would not be able to become a big climate.Therefore, the country must be used as a driving force to promote the development of the entire Ming trade.Only by opening up the market can the enthusiasm for commodity production be enhanced.And the enthusiasm for commodities has increased, and the conditions for industrialization will naturally be met.

At that time, without Zhu Youjian's deliberate promotion, people with conditions will naturally build factories, and in order to increase profits, capitalists must use machinery.This is better than the imperial court forcing mechanization.

"But your majesty, those soldiers under my command don't know how to do business." Jin Shengheng felt very embarrassed, and let a group of gentlemen with guns do business instead of letting them farm with hoes.At first, Jin Shengheng also expected that he might be dismissed. He had already planned to arrange the life of his subordinates after retiring from the army, but he didn't expect that the style of painting would change drastically.

"No, you can learn slowly. I understand you. I can ask you to help transport the goods first, but you still need to study harder to learn the skills of doing business." After Zhu Youjian finished speaking, he opened the map with a bang.

Except for the Northeast, which is not marked, the whole country, including Taiwan Island, has been divided into seven regions, which have been painted with different color blocks.

"What I mean is that the provinces and ministries dispatched five fourth-rank officials to take charge of an area in groups. Those of you sitting here are in charge of the country, and import and export companies in Southeast Asia and abroad are in charge."

No one expected that the Emperor Ming's sudden single-handed policy would actually be this.And just do it, and abruptly spread out a trading company called a cooperative.Even Xing Hongyan and Gao Guiying were assigned positions by Zhu Youjian.

"Your Majesty, you can let us do business, but how should we calculate the salary?" Xing Hongyan was the accountant after all, and she hit the point when she opened her mouth.

"What do you think?" Zhu Youjian looked at everyone with a smile.

"Do more, can't you?" Xing Hongyan smiled strangely.

"That's no good. According to what you said, my people won't be able to earn a dollar." Jin Shengheng quit, and he was not stupid, and he knew what he was doing.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Xing Hongyan flicked her arm, and said something to Jin Shengheng.

"In my opinion, it's better to pay the salary on a monthly basis."

"Ah bah! A tall man, say such shameful words that want to be lazy." Xing Hongyan looked at Jin Shengheng with a look of extreme contempt and cursed, making Jin Shengheng blush and thick neck.

"The monthly salary still needs to be given, but Gao Xing's words are also reasonable. Since it is a business, naturally we still have to rely on our own ability to eat. How about combining the two, what do you think?" Zhu Youjian saw that the venue was fighting Get up, only he can come forward to smooth things over.

The first economic work conference of the Ming Dynasty was held in such an atmosphere, and there was not even a second-rank official, only the emperor and a group of people who were basically speculators.

Zhu Youjian believes that if this group of people is allowed to do administration, I am afraid that after a long time, corrupt officials will definitely appear.If they are allowed to go to the battlefield, it is estimated that at most they will be involved in logistics and transportation.What is business?Once upon a time, later generations gave a name "speculation".If you don't speculate, where can you make money?After thinking about it, Zhu Youjian still decided to hand over this business to someone who specializes in speculation, which can be regarded as within his ability!

In addition, Zhu Youjian mainly selected Shanxi, Zhejiang, and Chaoshan areas in Guangdong for the recruitment of other cooperatives.History has proved that these places are the places where business talents emerge.

With sales, the supply of goods must also keep up.

After seeing off Jin Shengheng, Gao Xing and others, Zhu Youjian continued to prepare for the next meeting non-stop.

6Chapter 16: The gap between Ming Dynasty and Europe

The second meeting that Zhu Youjian is going to hold is a game of chess across the country.

This matter is easy to understand, that is, in order to cooperate with the upcoming economic development of Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to find a point to seek a breakthrough. According to finding a breakthrough point, the whole Ming Dynasty must act in a unified manner.

Some people say that the formation of cooperatives to promote commodity circulation is not a breakthrough?

Zhu Youjian believes that this is not the case. Promoting commodity circulation and accelerating consumption are still foreshadowing.Because to promote commodities and consumption, it is also necessary to find the consumer demand of the quasi-people.In the era of small-scale peasant economy, where is the consumer demand of ordinary people?Similarly, if we want to go out, where is the demand for export?
