Ming dynasty grand dude

"Did you forget that the boy said before that the Miru rebellion was put down without a penny from the country?"

It was only after Zhang Xiaogong said that Li Dongyang remembered that this kid came to develop northern Guangdong.

He was just passing by. His current identity is mainly for the purpose of quelling the Milu Rebellion in Southeast Guizhou.

Thinking of this, Li Dongyang was annoyed. When he was disturbed by this brat, everyone immediately forgot why he came here.

It is estimated that if no one reminds me, even His Majesty will forget about it.

Who told this idiot Huer to make such a big fuss in northern Guangdong that everyone thought about him and northern Guangdong for a moment.

Completely ignored that he was just passing by, the main purpose was to calm the chaos

"Then how do you plan to put down the chaos without using the state money?"

Li Dongyang is also very curious about this, he can't see how it is possible to go to war without spending money on the state.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's martial arts were shining through the ages, but Li Dongyang and the others saw more from the history books.

Beneath the brilliant martial arts are the miserable wailing of countless people, and it is the expense of exhausting the state money to plunder the people.

Emperors Wen and Jing lightened corvees and taxes during their reign, and encouraged childbirth and production so much that there was prosperity.

Emperor Wu had only been on the throne for more than [-] years, and the national treasury was exhausted by successive campaigns, so he had to start counting his ideas on all the citizens.

For example, during the Wenjing period, the Dingkou tax was 23 yuan for children from seven to fourteen, and Emperor Wu directly reduced it to three years old and increased it to [-] yuan.

And at the age of 14, a small mouth tax of 120 yuan is required to be paid every year.

As a result, food and clothing can only be obtained in a good year, and in a bad year, they have to beg and even have children to kill for survival.

It is conceivable that the wealthy will not escape the hands of the small people even if they search like this, such as counting orders, suing orders, boats, boats, horses and so on.

All in all, at least [-]% to [-]% of them were scraped off by them, and they would not be able to protect themselves from harm once the disaster year came.

The poor and rich people are all unlucky, and the princes and nobles are not in a good place.

For example, he creatively came up with the "white deer leather coin", which stipulated that the princes must pay tribute only to the white deer coin made of the white deer skin he bred.

Then sell the Bailu coins to the princes for 40 yuan per piece of Bailu coins.

The princes of Yishuier are full of heart to sell criticisms, but they still have no choice but to pinch their noses and give money to admit defeat.

It can be said that under the great achievements of Emperor Wudi, there are countless bones, wailing and crying.

From princes and nobles to wealthy businessmen, and even ordinary people, no one had a good time.

"Peace the chaos without using the country's money, this matter can fall on them"

Mr. Zhang looked meaningfully at the merchants below, and asking the merchants in northern Guangdong to send cooperation messages was not just for seeking partners.

This is also the screening of suitable merchants, and these people will become the first batch of war merchants.

"Crazy tiger, you can't do the two orders of counting and suing."

Li Dongyang obviously misunderstood, Zhang Xiaogong couldn't help but turned around in astonishment when he heard his words.

Then he laughed "hahahaha", even the tears of laughter were about to come out.

Just kidding

The young master has not traveled through time, so he is also a big boss, and he has read countless classics, how can he repeat the mistakes of Han Wu

Mises’s human behavior, currency and credit principle, I have made notes

We also read Eleanor's way of governing public affairs.

We have also read Max Weber's economy, various social fields and power.

If you still repeat the same mistakes like this, then simply commit suicide by caesarean section to thank the world.

"Just put your heart in your stomach. What the boy does is definitely not persecution."

Seeing that Li Dongyang's face was about to collapse, Zhang Xiaogong had no choice but to explain with a suppressed smile.

"When the time comes, just watch from the sidelines. These merchants will only cry and beg for money."

Li Dongyang looked at Mr. Zhang with an expression of "I believe you a ghost", just like looking at the stupid son of a landlord's family.

Seeing Li Dongyang like this, Mr. Zhang is also very helpless. This matter does not make sense.

Only when the charter is laid out at that time can we understand it.

These officials of the Ming Dynasty cannot be said to be stupid, it is really just that they have never considered the issue of economic development.

The brand of Mingjiao is too deep, and even penetrated into their bone marrow.

After all, I have only read those few books, or only those few types of books, for decades or decades.

And with the honor, status and wealth gained by those books, who is immune to its profound influence

The saying "There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book" is true, but this "book" cannot be limited to the famous Confucianists.

Li Dongyang also seemed to feel that he was a little too much, and waved his hands with a little red face.

"Forget it, let me show the old man how the Jade Chihu is born out of nothing."

After all, Li Dongyang stood up with a smile, "If this can be done"

Li Dongyang originally wanted to say that if this matter can be achieved, your Jade Chi Tiger will be famous forever.

But think about it, even if people don't do this now, they will be famous through the ages with their previous achievements.

Throughout the ages, how many people have been able to obtain the clothes of Wanminwanfu made by hundreds of thousands of people?

This is absolutely unprecedented, and I am afraid that no one in future generations will be able to match it.

Just for this, his Jade Chihu is already famous through the ages, let alone those scripts and poems.

There are also his collection of manure pile narratives, Ji Rance, and now the Imperial Military Academy.

These piles, one by one, even if ordinary people make one, it will be famous forever.

Based on the accumulation of his achievements, it is not surprising that Li Dongyang will be enshrined as the patriarch of a school decades later.

In fact, several of his disciples now, from his own son Li Zhaoxian to Tang Yin, Xu Jing, Jiang Chao and even Prince Zhu Houzhao.

What they have learned and what they have done has completely deviated from the foundation of the famous Confucianism at this time.

"Then you can watch."

Young Master Zhang smiled reservedly, those beautiful red phoenix and peach blossoms narrowed slightly like a crescent moon in the sky.

"Boy, I will put on a big show for you"

Li Dongyang couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Under the laws of the United States, the old man will do what you want."

.

Chapter 4 The Guizhou Road is hard to beat the Shu Road, Zhang Xiaogong is urging people to be busy

Hearing this, Young Master Zhang couldn't help but "pooh" in his heart, treacherous old guy!

What Lao Li said inside and outside the meaning is that he can cheerfully support within the laws of the country.

Is it outside the law of the country... um... ha ha ha ha...

Don't worry, I'll beat your son when I get back!

Zhang Xiaogong was smiling, and his heart was full of criticism.

Your Li Zhaoxian is still studying under my school, wait!When I go back, I will clean him up!

The shopping in Yangcheng, northern Guangdong, is divided into three days. The first day is dedicated to raw silk, silk, silk...etc.

The second day is about miscellaneous items. Among the treasures collected by Tong, Chen, Wang... and others, there are some fine ones and some not so precious ones.

The fine works will undoubtedly be returned to the national treasury and presented to His Majesty Hongzhi Emperor.

But some of the less precious ones can be auctioned off as compensation for taxes in northern Guangdong.

For example, the sea yellow chairs of the previous dynasty were not made of good materials and not high in craftsmanship.

Not to mention the palace, even the rich and honored families are much better than this.

So it's better to take it out and buy it, and sell it cheaper than to put it in the warehouse to grow mold.

On the third day, they rushed to buy the houses of various families, and the property in northern Guangdong was confiscated and re-divided.

But it's useless for them to hold this house, everyone is looking forward to promotion!

It's better to just sell it and exchange it for silver, Zhang Xiaogong said it will be of great use!

The shops are not for sale, and they are kept for rent and put into the treasury of the chief envoy.

Before the rush to buy was over, various companies began to discuss the issue of iron pot sales.

"Uh... your name is Chen Guanyu?!"

Zhang Xiaogong blinked his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who looked like Zhou Zheng and was dressed in the clothes of a master.

Apart from the name, he really couldn't connect the honest and honest craftsman in front of him with the Chen Guanyu who had been beheaded by him.

"The little one... the young one is called Chen Guanyu..."

Chen Guanyu is a little scared now. Ever since this gentle little father-in-law heard his name, he seemed to have a strange expression.

Seeing his slightly nervous appearance, Grandpa Zhang couldn't help laughing.

This Chen Guanyu was able to stand out from many apprentices, and was respected by many masters and foundry masters in Zhongyi Township.

He was also recommended as the master craftsman in charge of the Guangdong North Branch of the Foundry Department. If you don't have some skills, you can't do it.

"It's time to call yourself a subordinate from now on."

Grandpa Zhang smiled, stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Regarding the Qiandongnan matter, how is the exploration going?"

Chen Guanyu couldn't help being excited when he heard that he could call himself a "lower official".

He is the No. 1 in Zhongyi Township from apprentice to assistant craftsman, then promoted to craftsman, and now master craftsman and master master!

However, Young Master Zhang's question brought him back to his senses immediately, and he calmed down and said in a respectful voice.

"The two ancient roads are mostly usable. If it is repaired and expanded, it will take a lot of manpower and time..."

Chen Guanyu didn't dare to be negligent, so he sorted out his thoughts and said, "Some areas need a lot of cement, and the investment is huge..."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaogong smiled and waved his hands and said softly.

"If it is settled within a year, how many people and how much investment will it take?!"

Hearing this, Chen Guanyu was taken aback. According to their previous incomplete calculations, it would take at least five years to even rectify or expand slightly.

However, Zhang Xiaogong said that he wanted to settle it within a year. This...how is this possible? !

It took a while for Chen Guanyu to react and fell to his knees with a "plop".

"The villain has never thought about this matter, so I really can't answer the adults..."

Seeing his extremely nervous appearance, Grandpa Zhang smiled and helped him up, "Don't be nervous, this governor is not a man-eating tiger..."

Can I not be nervous, those who are arguing with you are now mining, Qinghe!

Chen Guanyu was about to cry, how could he be so unlucky to be chosen to meet this little ancestor.

"Based on your previous calculations, that's all. By the way, remember to call yourself 'Xiaguan'."

Hearing these words from Grandpa Zhang, Chen Guanyu finally relaxed a little.

"Previously, Xiaguan and others calculated that 80 young and strong people would work day and night, and consume at least [-] taels of labor and materials within five to eight years."

Five to eight years? !Young Master Zhang frowned, he definitely couldn't wait that long.

"5 young and strong, 300 million taels of silver! How many years will it take for such an investment?!"

Five... fifty thousand young and strong? !Chen Guanyu was taken aback. Fifty thousand young and strong people are a lot of people!

300 million taels of silver, Chen Guanyu felt that he could never dream of so much silver...

"The lower officials can only guarantee that the project will be completed within three years, but I dare not guarantee the exact time!"

Chen Guanyu hesitated for a while, but still gritted his teeth and told the truth, "Southeast Guizhou has mountains and rivers, and it is difficult to open up ancient roads."

"This is beyond the reach of many people and material resources, so even if an adult is so devoted to being an official, he can only dare to say that it can be achieved within three years."
