Lord of Ming Dynasty

The previous fifty ships sold them at a good price. At least every businessman who went out this time earned nearly several million Dutch guilders, so it took another three months. A high-level representative led the fleet back to the Chinese Empire. After delivering the remaining 150 warships, they took over [-] steam paddle steamers. Another [-] old sailing boats stored in the ports and docks of the Chinese Empire Coast Guard have been collected. These can be sold back to fishermen and merchants who go fishing in the North Sea. These ships have a large tonnage and are well maintained. Even if they are not well maintained, they are better than the Dutch's own ships.

Then they sold Dutch goods here, and made a profit of more than a billion Dutch guilders. Now they made a lot of money, and bought the special products of the Chinese Empire again, beautiful mirrors, very fragrant soaps, white salt, white flowers The soft white sugar, the luxurious carriage, the antique oriental carriage, the easy-to-use oriental carriage, and various oriental agricultural tools, as well as the oriental armor, the armor was eliminated by the Huaxia Empire long ago, but after the Chamber of Commerce returned to the furnace, it was polished and repainted. The ones that will be put on the shelves in the future are specifically aimed at these Western businessmen.

This was Zhang Qiang's idea. Now the West still has an inexplicable love for armor. They like to collect it or use it. Then there are endless weapons and equipment in the Chinese Empire. No need, at least 800 million of the nearly 500 million soldiers who retired from the flintlock unit have not dealt with them. This time they sold 50 pieces to the Dutch at one time.

This is simply dumping, but it is not useless, because it has brought nearly 100 billion Chinese yuan to the Chinese Empire. The yellow Spanish gold coins and the silver Dutch guilders, many of which were collected in the treasury and silver coins of the money bank. Treasury, and then immediately replaced it with the gold and silver stored by the Huaxia Empire, and the Huaxia Empire can issue more Huaxia Yuan banknotes to plunder wealth from all over the world.

Soon, the Dutch returned with a full load. In order to show their friendship, the third fleet of the Chinese Navy fleet escorted them all the way to the Horn of Africa in the Indian Ocean before returning to the Strait of Malacca, where the Chinese Imperial Fleet was stationed.

And some merchant delegations from the Huaxia Empire brought their own goods and followed them back to the Netherlands, where they went to establish a trading station in the Huaxia Empire.

Over the past year, the trading volume between the Chinese Empire and Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands has continued to increase. The products of the Chinese Empire have been sold well in Europe and the West through them, and even reached South and North America, Africa and other places.

This year, the Chinese Empire has increased its financial revenue by 1000 billion Chinese Yuan. The Chinese Empire’s fiscal revenue this year is 5000 billion Chinese Yuan, and then repaid part of the previous debts, 200 billion Chinese Yuan, the Chinese Empire’s debt It has fallen from a few hundred trillion to only 100 trillion in debt, and finally it is almost over due to the occupation of Siberia, the management of Siberia, the occupation of Central Asia, the Western Regions, Southeast Asia, and some mountains, deserts, plains, and grasslands around India, which encircled Britain. , the costs of immigration from all over the country, subsidizing the governor's district, and building the core area of ​​the Chinese Empire, etc. are almost wiped out little by little.

The cost paid is not only that, there are also subsidies for agriculture in various parts of the Chinese Empire, subsidies for immigrants, subsidies for scientific and technological research and development, replacement of weapons and equipment every year, abolition of troops, building of new warships, and wars with various surrounding forces the cost paid.

There are also tens of billions of Chinese dollars in loans to Turkey, billions of Chinese dollars in loans to the Arshaf Dynasty, tens of billions of Chinese dollars in loans to the Qing Empire, hundreds of billions of Chinese dollars in loans to Turkey, and the largest Loan customers, Russia, hundreds of billions of Chinese dollars.

Russia's hundreds of billions of Chinese dollars, through ten years of continuous loan support, received only a few hundred million dollars a year from Russia. Later, Russia directly used the materials robbed by other countries to pay for it, and there were also foreign countries. Mineral resources, gold, silver, jewelry, population, and tens of billions of grain each year to support Russia are all paid. Russia is directly in debt for the first ten years, that is, it does not pay back much every year, and owes it to the Chinese Empire. Hundreds of millions of money and materials, the Chinese Empire owns those mines, and has to invest, build, and then tax Russia, and then take out interest and a certain amount of money from the tax it has every year, and then give the rest to Russia. .

It can be said that Russia has been built by the Chinese Empire, but Russia has actually sold the entire country, and selling a hundred of them is not enough to repay the debt owed by the Chinese Empire.

The payment of this amount of arrears has to be covered by the finances of the Chinese Empire. It is equivalent to the money that the Chinese Empire owes to the Chinese Empire for helping Russia. The Chinese Empire has to repay this part of the money for them every year. The loss is huge, but this market is slowly being cultivated. Come out, at least Russia's raw materials, manpower, material resources, and even the army are working in the Chinese Empire, which is equivalent to cultivating a market.

In the past, the Huaxia Empire was dominated by one family, and there was no communication with other countries. Products could only be exchanged within itself, and there was no external income. The arrears of the empire, and then this market is the cash machine of the Huaxia Empire.

This is equivalent to the price for the Chinese Empire to build a governorship like Central Asia. The Chinese Empire demanded, built and protected this market from the states in the core area. The volume is equivalent to the combined market of the United Kingdom and Spain, the Arshaf Dynasty, Turkey, and Sweden. The market is many times larger, which is equivalent to finding a general agent for the export of materials from the Chinese Empire. Moreover, following the They, the merchants of the Chinese Empire, also found a market for exporting goods.

Through the Netherlands, the goods of the Chinese Empire will be sold all over Africa, Europe, South America, North America and other markets, and the Chinese Empire does not need to develop.

Of course, businessmen don't think so, they still have to go somewhere to build their own market.

The construction of the core area of ​​the first thousand and 120th chapter five

The Dutch made big purchases, but their ships were too slow, and it took half a year to go back and forth, while the speed of warships and merchant ships of the British and Spaniards was much faster, and four months was enough to go back and forth. If it was a direct voyage, Basically, more than three months is enough, because the two companies have the support of extremely advanced and developed shipbuilding technology and science and technology.

After the Huaxia Empire sold the sailing warships to the Dutch, the Dutch immediately replaced the warships, and the speed immediately increased. At least one month was lost, and there was only one round trip in four and a half months. Some Dutch people even took the train to Siberia by land. Then take a boat back to the Netherlands at a Siberian port, or take a train to the coast of Turkey and go back to the Netherlands by boat.

Now the Guangzhou government of the Chinese Empire already has a direct train to Istanbul Fort, Turkey, because the Chinese Empire helped Turkey build the railway, just like helping the Qing Dynasty and Russia to build railways. Now the railway construction funds of several countries are now only recovered with interest. The money was only recovered as a fraction, but more than a billion, billions, tens of billions, this is a project of hundreds of billions.

However, because of commercial trade, several countries have created a lot of commercial trade volume for the Huaxia Empire. The Qing Dynasty is tens of billions a year, and its net profit is also several billion. The tax profits collected by the Qing Dynasty and the Huaxia Empire are also more than one billion. The Huaxia Empire itself creates a lot of tax profits, about 100 billion per year, and it increases year by year. What do you mean, it is because your transactions have driven related commercial activities, and these commercial activities have generated far more taxes than you. The project itself is paid a little bit of tax to the Huaxia Empire.

This is why later generations of Huaxia China always keep losing money in business. It is because many people have to rely on this to make a living. When a factory falls, it is not their family that falls, but all those related to them, including parts factories and construction. Merchants, farmers who provide them with food, and even some government agencies, officials, various merchants, officials, workers, manufacturers who serve them, this series of people or enterprises, these enterprises also generate tax while producing, And other companies associated with these affiliated companies are also creating tax revenue. When a company rises, it will definitely drive the affiliated companies. The affiliated companies and other affiliated companies will also have at least a percentage connection and make profits. This way, the entire enterprise will be involved. An enterprise established at a loss can obtain at least more benefits and profits than the loss.

The markets of several countries closest to the Chinese Empire are now close to trillions, and the annual income generated by the Chinese Empire has reached the level of 2000 billion. In such a market, the Chinese Empire has only invested a lot at one time, and now it is slowly recovering. The profit, it is estimated that it will not take long to recover the profit.

The arrival of the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and Spain gave the Chinese Empire another big market. The current level of this market seems to be at least one and a half times that of Russia and the Qing Dynasty, which is equivalent to an income of 3000 billion Chinese yuan. .

In the past, the Chinese Empire had a negative profit every year, and had to issue bonds every year to maintain government operations. It had been issued for ten consecutive years, and it was not until the eighteenth century that it was relieved. The annual expenditure decreased and the income increased bit by bit. Now there is no need to issue bonds. Bonds only need to use the annual financial revenue and profits of the Huaxia Empire to support the operation. In addition to repaying a certain percentage, the rest can be invested in the construction of the Huaxia Empire. The construction must be the construction of the core area. The various governors and governors are going to build, and the center of the Huaxia Empire is only giving a rough plan, and then let you play freely.

After the economic growth has been built, there is no delay. You initiate the proposal to apply to join the core area, and then the center will conduct a review period of at least three years. After the review period, it will be discussed in the Political Council and the Supervisory Council, and finally Come up with the results and submit them to the cabinet for approval. After the cabinet’s approval, submit them to the Advisory Council for approval. The Privy Council will allocate a certain amount of force and adjust the local force. After a series of plans, all materials will be submitted to the emperor for review, signature, and approval, and then issued to the cabinet After discussing an implementation plan with the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister, in the next two years, the application for the application area will be slowly accepted and approved. Everything is ready, and a date is set to announce the state of the Governor-General of Mo, or the Governor-General into the core area.

Recently incorporated into the core area are the nearby territories other than the Northeast Three Continents that were seized by Lao Maozi in history, Vladivostok, Sakhalin Island, and some prefectures and counties. Including the Northeast area, the Northeast Three Continents were originally collectively called the Northeast Governor's District. Later, the Three Continents were merged, but the outside places were not merged. Now those places are established as a state, and then the Northeast is collectively called the Northeast Four. continent.

This is equivalent to pulling the territory of the East Siberia Governor's District, and the territory of the East Siberia Governor's District has been reduced.

It is a good thing for the Huaxia Empire. It is something that capitalists like to continue to bring back high-quality assets from other places. This is bad news for the East Siberian Governor-General. It has just developed, relying on its support, The governor's district had some income, and in a blink of an eye it was classified as the core area. It would be a lie to say that there were no tears, but from the perspective of national righteousness and national integration, this is a good thing.

Why cut the entire territory of the Chinese Empire into the core area and the governor's area?

Because the Chinese Empire is too large and its development is uneven, the areas close to the center are merged and closed, and some strong areas are merged into the core area. Then the advantages of the entire country will be added up, and the advantages of high-quality assets will be used to make more money. You can have more money for the younger brother, so that the younger brother can follow behind to develop. If the development is good, it can help the elder brother. If the development is poor, he will develop slowly behind, and it will not be too much of a drag on the elder brother.

Get rich first and get rich later!

And for Siberia, the Chinese Empire has almost tried its best to occupy, emigrate, manage, and build. The money has almost emptied the Chinese Empire several times. The Chinese Empire owed trillions of debts for this. After the layout is completed, the Chinese Empire It has not been slowed down for 20 years, and the debts of nearly hundreds of trillions are still in debt and have not been cleared.

There are still a few states that have newly merged into the Chinese Empire, and that is the Governor-General of Inner Mongolia. Most of them have got rid of the predicament of tens of yuan per capita income. Now the per capita income has reached more than 100 yuan. There is a big gap, at least [-] yuan per capita income can apply, and after application, the per capita income must reach [-] yuan to enter the core area.

This is why it takes five years from application to review, because it gives you time to adjust and develop, just like a person writes a business plan and then applies for investment, giving you time to improve your infrastructure, The company's restructuring and development must fully meet the investor's specifications to win your application and invest in you.

The arrival of the Dutch this time brought so many goods and funds to the Chinese Empire, and also found a market for the goods that were still piled up in the Chinese Empire. Many domestic enterprises have developed, so the tax revenue of the Chinese Empire this year is more than before. a lot of.

A tax of 5000 billion Chinese yuan was realized in one go. When did this tax come about? It was all more than 30 years ago. At that time, the Chinese Empire had not yet owned the three northeastern continents, Indonesia, Malacca, Australia, Lu Song Island and other overseas territories are still places where the Dutch, British, Spaniards, Zheng family, and Hong family are fighting everywhere. Because of their wars, when the Chinese Empire was still small, a lot of wars were captured. , and then tax revenue increased year by year, 3000 billion, 5000 billion, 8000 billion, and even [-] trillion, and then because of the end of the war, the Chinese Empire gained a large number of overseas territories.

All kinds of replacements, all kinds of immigrants, plus immigrants resisting immigrants, wars with the Qing Dynasty, wars with various forces in the Western Regions, marching into Siberia, need to pay a lot, although the income is also a lot, but just entered a relatively stable In the era of the agricultural country, the foundation of the Chinese Empire was not very solid, and it immediately began to lose money. The tax revenue was 9000 billion, but the expenditure was increasing year by year. Huaxia Yuan.

When the Qing Dynasty was outside the Great Khingan Mountains, the Chinese Empire needed to pay 5000 billion Chinese Yuan. The Qing Dynasty accepted the threat of the Chinese Empire and opened up Siberia for the Chinese Kingdom. When it was at war with Russia, the Chinese Empire spent 8000 billion Chinese Yuan every year. The tax has dropped from 8000 billion Chinese yuan to 3000 billion Chinese yuan, and this tax has been maintained for more than ten years, until the Chinese Empire's annual tax revenue is only more than a billion Chinese yuan, and it needs to rely on loans to maintain the war in the Chinese empire.

This is also the worst moment of the Chinese Empire, and of course the worst moment, Siberian immigration, Australian immigration, Indonesian immigration, Western region immigration construction, Central Asian immigration, Southeast Asian immigration return, the Battle of the Strait of Malacca plus immigration, a series of things This caused turmoil within the Chinese Empire, and made the expenditure more and more large, directly reaching the scale of hundreds of trillions, and then approaching the scale of tens of billions. The money owed by the Chinese Empire to merchants, money from the common people, and money from annual tax expenditures , that's a huge pocket.

It directly led to the stagnation of the Chinese Empire's economic development for several years. These were all survived under Zhang Qiang's stubborn rule. If we relied on the civil servants, I'm afraid we would have to give up a lot of land to others, or give it up, allowing the Han people on these lands to develop freely. In the end, due to the influence of the environment, they turned into indigenous people, and it will be difficult to control them in the future.

When the Han people went to the grasslands, they became Mongols. When the Han people went to the Western Regions, they all went to believe in Buddhism. When the Han people went to Yunnan, Guizhou and other mountains, they became chieftains. They have become Burmese natives, and Australians have become kangaroos. If there is no continuous influence of Chinese culture, continuous economic support and strong armed suppression from the Chinese Empire, the civil service group will soon destroy Zhang Qiang. The empire built in a lifetime, the circle of influence of the Han people.

Nowadays, it is possible to repay the debts that can be expected, various industries have also begun to develop, and agriculture has also been vigorously developed. The per capita income in the core area has directly exceeded 300 yuan from [-] yuan, and the poorest has more than [-] yuan, which is in line with the core District Lien Eligibility.

The first thousand and 120 chapters and six core areas are developing rapidly

Seizing territory by force, tying up neighbors with the economy, and dumping those opponents with goods, the Huaxia Empire is already more powerful than the United States in later generations. At least in the Qing Dynasty, which is more prosperous in later generations, the Huaxia Empire has done better than the Qing Dynasty.

The core area has completely got rid of the previous troubles. The agricultural production is increasing day by day, and the agricultural workshops are becoming more profitable day by day, because there is huge market demand from Turkey, the Arshaf Dynasty, Sweden, Russia, and the Qing Dynasty. Siberia, the Western Regions, and the Governor-General of Central Asia have a huge demand for grain, because no matter how much grain is produced, all can be sold at a high price, and the supply exceeds demand. Many grains are first received by the state and then given to other places, because these places are negative assets. The Chinese Empire While obtaining raw materials from them, export huge amounts of food and supplies, and sell more industrial products to them, so these places are under great pressure, struggling every year, and now they are finally struggling.

Many places have started to realize profits, and the Chinese Empire no longer borrowed from them to support their debts. Now is the time for the Chinese Empire to recover their investment, so that their suppressed production capacity will come out, so their production capacity will start to feed back to the core area of ​​the Chinese Empire.

The fleet and caravan brought by Zhao Hui have established a firm foothold in the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Caspian Sea, and the Black Sea. Through these ports and places, they have protected the commercial maritime trade of Russia and Turkey, and made it possible for rampant pirates to be attacked. The transactions of other European countries have increased, and the increased money has been fed back to these countries, and then through taxation and commercial trade, as well as the circulation of various commodities, the flow of population has reflected the Central Asian Governor’s District and the Western Region Governor’s District on the border, and the Governor of the Ural Defense Line District and Governor-General of West Siberia, these places.

Then these local economies began to develop, and finally fed back to the financial revenue of the center of the Chinese Empire. Although after many Polish promotions, the income that finally reached the center was very small, but the impact of feeding back was indeed a lot, such as debts began to increase revenue, for example, those places can If you make money yourself, you will reduce the subsidy, the subsidy will be reduced, the expenditure will be less, and the financial profit will increase. The Chinese Empire will have more money to invest in the construction of some areas in the core area that are not very well developed.

After replacing the new generation of rails, locomotives, and wagons, the running time of trains and wagons was limited, and some passenger cars were added to the running time, so the train workshop enterprises also began to increase their income slightly, without the subsidy of the Chinese Empire, and with revenue, It can also return part of the construction funds given by the previous Huaxia Empire Finance, and the center can also use this part of the money to return funds to the merchants and builders who previously built the railway.

In the past, the Chinese Empire only occupied a lot of shares through the investment of land, locomotives, and railway tracks. The merchants who built the building only received labor, free farmers, civilian husbands, and troops as workers. Later, after commercialization, they had to accept Most of these people have taken over manpower. Although they can still receive a lot of projects, the Huaxia Empire cannot give them 20.00% of the payment due to debts, so they can only receive a barely maintained 40.00% profit. How many years of persistence? At this time, the people who came down finally got rewarded, and the profit increased to [-]%, and the economic situation finally got better.

It will be better in the future, this is the guarantee of the center of the Huaxia Empire, and it will completely allow them to achieve greater profits.

Now the Huaxia Empire does not engage in national battle-style construction, and subcontracts to the empire's builder group to let them build. Only some of them are builders directly controlled by the empire.

It can be said that at the beginning, those construction businessmen who took over the official public construction companies of the Chinese Empire were a bit cheated. Although the Chinese Empire still gave them free use of the Chinese Empire's civil servants and engineering personnel, engineers, and even construction machinery, in order to help them develop and even use everything. Public power and public government relations guarantee their development, but these are actually nothingness investments.

How should I put it, it is equivalent to the government's investment promotion in later generations. The government provides land, water, electricity, and roads, and provides some policies to let them use some government public relations to help them approve the procedures as soon as possible, but they have to spend real money in the government. Build more foundations, more factories and enterprises in the designated places, and then these enterprises must make profits, and then hand them over to the government for taxation. When the policy expires, they will no longer receive support. People need wages, and they will also More funds are needed, but the government did not give them a loan. Instead, it defaulted on a lot of the deposits the government collected from them, and the money that the government should pay for some projects.

At the beginning, the Huaxia Empire only used free resources for them. Later, they had to pay the wages of civilian husbands and various government taxes, but the government gave them less than 5.00% of their accounts, and they had to pay them themselves. Later, they relaxed , gave them the full amount, and after just one or two years, the imperial government had to default on their accounts due to various debts, and had to ask them to borrow money, and couldn't afford too much interest.

Now it’s finally all right, the merchants who have survived get at least 40.00% of the account and more interest compensation, and then it will be better every year in the future.

Over the years, with the rise of these businessmen, other construction businessmen are not bad. Domestic construction is in full swing. Although the economy is not good, the construction industry is still developing rapidly. The appearance of the Chinese Empire has changed a lot. The high-rise buildings with cornices and glazed tiles are rising one after another, more fierce than ten years ago. Ten-story high-rise buildings, pavilions and pavilions are flying around in the air, and the two floors erected in the air The corridors between the buildings, as well as the Suzhou and Hangzhou gardens on the roofs of the buildings in the sky, are also developing rapidly. This is different from the pure and full foreign-style square boxes, long boxes, long johns, pants, bird eggs, and bird’s nests of later generations of Huaxia. , etc. tall buildings in the sense of gorgeous aesthetics.

This is a high-rise building full of humanity and scenery. Some wealthy people choose to build a manor-like building by themselves, and then turn the top of the building into a garden, and the rational design of the downstairs is a garden. Compared with the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty , The gloomy, eerie and far-reaching palace complexes of successive dynasties, these beautiful courtyard buildings are a major feature of the Huaxia Empire.
