Chapter 1589 You Think Too Much
"Your Majesty, now that Jinling's nobles and eunuchs have been taken down, I'm afraid it's not a good thing for the court." After congratulating Shen Long, Cao Huachun said worriedly that Jinling, as one of the three capitals of the Ming Dynasty, The status is very important. Before that, there were always three pillars of civil servants, nobles and guarding eunuchs. Now the honorables and guarding eunuchs have fallen, and there are still many big bosses in the civil servants. From the perspective of power checks and balances, this is definitely not the case. good thing.
"Hmph, I'm afraid these guys don't care about other things right now. They are all busy fighting for interests right now!" Shen Long sneered. Most of the nobles in Jinling have knelt down. All of them were red-eyed. The civil servants in Jinling must not be thinking about other things before dividing up these things.
"Wei Guogong, Baoguogong, and Xinchengbo's family's gold and silver have all been collected into the internal treasury, but they still have many shops and fields in the south of the Yangtze River. What should we do with these?" Cao Huachun reluctantly suppressed them when they were vying for floating wealth. Those civil servants live there, but if he seems to get all these fields, shops, and workshops, those civil servants will have to work hard.
"We can't take these things away, so we just bought them in Jinlingfa. Gold, silver, copper coins, silk cloth, grain and porcelain, you can exchange them for anything. You can give them a little bit of sweetness in terms of price, but you must pay on the spot. Absolutely not allowed to default." Shen Long thought clearly that gold and silver are hard currencies, of course, food can be supplied to the people in Liaodong and Northwest, and silk and porcelain can be used by Zheng Zhilong and Yu Zigao to trade with Westerners. These are all very important. it works.
As for the land, shops, workshops, etc., I can't control it for the time being. If you have to hand it over to the eunuchs, they will definitely fill their pockets one by one. I don't know how many will be handed over to the court. It's better to just sell them. yes.
The honorable families in Jinling were either beheaded or exiled to Dayuan Island. The people in the south of the Yangtze River lost so many exploiters, so life must be a little easier, right?
Of course, Shen Long did not do nothing. He still reserved some land, workshops and shops on purpose, intending to take this opportunity to promote more advanced cotton spinning machines and silk looms in the south of the Yangtze River. He couldn't be more clear about the role. The popularity of this kind of machine will undoubtedly deepen the land annexation in the south of the Yangtze River and force more people to be displaced. These people will become the main force for Ming to join the Great Navigation Age.
It doesn't matter if there is no land in the south of the Yangtze River. There are large tracts of fertile land in Southeast Asia, waiting for the industrious people of Ming Dynasty to reclaim it. You must know that the Jiugang Xuanwei Department was established as a state institution as early as the Yongle period. As long as the fleet of Zheng Zhilong and Yu Zigao Once practiced well, it was the turn of the Old Port Xuanweisi to reappear in the world.
The Old Port Propaganda Department was established when Zheng He sailed to the West. Its jurisdiction includes all of today’s Malaysia and Singapore, most of Indonesia, part of Thailand and the Philippines, and the essence of Southeast Asia is under control.
The first Propaganda Envoy was Shi Jinqing, and then this position was passed down by the Shi family for three generations. Then, because the Ming Dynasty stopped going to sea and lost the support of the mother country, the Shi family’s rule in Southeast Asia came to an end, and the old Hong Kong Propaganda Department was also taken over by the Manjaboyi Kingdom. It has been almost two hundred years since the destruction.
But now, Da Ming has turned his attention to the ocean again, and Shen Long has brought warships and naval guns that are more than a hundred years ahead of this era. The natives, or the Spaniards and Dutch who set up colonies here, are by no means opponents of Ming Dynasty.
The food and wealth obtained from ransacking homes in Jinling can just be used in this place. No matter how great the impact of the Little Ice Age is, it will not have too much impact on Southeast Asia. At that time, Daming will plant rice on the three-crop land in Southeast Asia. , the harvested food can be used to feed back the domestic,
The refugees in the northwest can't make much noise when they have food.
"Slaves obey orders." Cao Huachun could think so much, he just felt that it was a pity to sell these lands, shops, and workshops to the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, but he didn't know that sooner or later, Shen Long would use capital means to make these civil servants compensate They have to go bankrupt, and now they are just exchanging these things for the capital of opening a modern chemical factory. Those civil servants and rich families are now equivalent to selling the rope to hang themselves to Shen Long. Let them be happy first, and they will cry in two years when.
"Send people to the capital, call some honorable sons who have lost their titles, let them rectify the Jinling Guard, and tell them that as long as they can do this job well and train a few strong troops for Daming, then wait for these troops If they make contributions, they can get back the titles of their ancestors, and as long as the contributions are great enough, it is not impossible for an earl to become a marquis, and a marquis to become a duke!" Tengxiang Four Guards and Jingying must guard against Jiannu, Lin Danhan and Northwest The refugees, the task of attacking Southeast Asia can only be handed over to the Jinling Guard.
After Zheng Zhilong and Yu Zigao's fleet is trained, Daming will first drive away the Dutch on Dayuan Island, and then send troops south to restore the Old Port Xuanwei Division. The Army joins.
"Decree Xu Guangqi, let him send capable students to Dayuan Island to guide planting." If you want to conquer Southeast Asia, the biggest enemy is not the Dutch, the Spaniards, or the lazy natives, but the completely different people in Southeast Asia and Ming Dynasty. The climate and various diseases, so Shen Long plans to plant various economic crops that can cure diseases on Dayuan Island, such as cinchona trees, etc. With these things, the people of Ming Dynasty can take root and multiply in Southeast Asia.
A series of orders were issued, and the whole Jinling immediately became busy. The yamen in charge of selling land, shops, and workshops became popular. To the desired land, shops and workshops.
Jiangnan has been stable for a long time, and it is not common to sell so much land at one time. If they miss this opportunity, they will regret it for a hundred years.
Cao Huachun is not too difficult, as long as he can produce hard currency, whether it is real gold, silver, silk porcelain, or grain and raw silk, he will hand over the land, workshops, and shops to these wealthy families as promised. .
For a while, the wealthy families in Jiangnan harvested a lot of land, workshops and shops, and everyone was elated, hahaha, now that the nobles are finished, isn't it up to us to decide the future of Jiangnan?
These words also reached Shen Long's ears, Shen Long could only sneer at this, hehe, you are overthinking.
