Numb!

People are numb!

One million taels!

The annual commercial tax in Beizhili is as high as one million taels!

What is this concept?

Yang Shiqi is a little numb!

The port customs established by the seven Southeast Asian countries, together with the total annual tax revenue of the three major customs, is only four to five million taels of silver, which is barely enough to complete the tax revenue of one million taels per year for one customs.

In this Nima land, Hanwang and Beizhili, are they worth a customs in Nanyang that is busy with merchants?

Your Highness the King of Han, how rude you are!

Moreover, this is just Beizhili!

If Hanwang Zhu Gaoxu's new commercial tax was implemented throughout the Ming Dynasty, how much could the total commercial tax amount of the Ming Dynasty be increased?

Hiss... I'm afraid it can really exceed the agricultural tax!

Everyone was a little shocked when they thought of this terrible guess.

Yang Shiqi suddenly felt that he had come to the right place, and he couldn't wait to see His Highness the King of Han.

After all, the Nanyang Customs matter was also a suggestion made by His Highness the King of Han through a letter.

However, correspondence is not as good as face-to-face negotiation, and some things cannot be discussed in letters.

"Nie Zhuang, may I ask where His Highness the King of Han is?"

"Yes, Nie Xing, where is the prince?"

Yang Shiqi and Wang Jing spoke one after another and looked at Nie Xing expectantly.

This Nie Xing used to be the number one eagle dog of the Han Dynasty, responsible for protecting the safety of His Highness the Han Dynasty.

Now that Nie Xing appears in front of him, is it possible that His Highness the King of Han is also here?

"Your Majesty went to inspect the Zunhua Iron Smelting Plant. He ordered a certain family to come to greet you two and go directly to the Zunhua Iron Smelting Plant for a meeting."

Two people: "???"

Zunhua Iron Smelting Plant?

That was the iron plant with the largest scale and the longest time in production in the Ming Dynasty's official iron smelting industry!

What does Prince Han want to do?

Is it possible to join the iron ore industry and prepare to forge weapons and equipment?

Yang Shiqi took a deep breath and finally nodded.

Based on his understanding of His Highness the King of Han, this arrogant and domineering Prince of Han would never commit such rebellious acts as rebellion!

…

Zunhua Iron Smelting Plant.

Damingying Iron Smelting is the largest iron plant with the longest operation time, located in Zunhua County in Jizhou, North Zhili.

Zunhua Iron Smelting Plant smelts more than 400,000 kilograms of raw wrought iron every year. Its iron furnace is one foot and two feet deep, and iron rises four times a day. In addition to raw wrought iron, its products include steel.

Such a steel plant with huge throughput has long been in the sight of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu.

It's just that he was busy rectifying the Peking business circle and didn't have time to inspect the iron smelting factory. He just asked the director of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau and the guarding eunuch Haishou to make a visit.

As for why eunuch Shanghai Shou was brought along, it was just to show off to Zhu Laosi.

After all, things like the iron factory, with Zhu Gaoxu's status as King of Han's clan, can be kept as far away as possible, and it is simply inconvenient to intervene.

The reason is very simple. Why are you, a prince of the clan, interfering in the iron smelting factory?

Why do you want to build weapons and armor to rebel?

Well, Zhu Laosi might really think so.

The two of them went to Zunhua Iron Smelting Factory and did some simple tidying up.

Zhu Gaoxu simply told Emperor Yongle to let eunuch Haishou become the guard eunuch of Zunhua Iron Smelting Factory.

Two years have passed, and the Daming First Iron Smelting Plant has completed its transformation and is on the right track.

Climb high and look into the distance, above the blast furnaces, streams of green smoke are rising straight up.

Zhu Gaoxu knew very well that under every puff of smoke, there were furnaces of steel being produced. When they left the blast furnace, they would be turned into weapons, or exchanged for ingots of silver.

As the first iron smelting plant in the Ming Dynasty, the Zunhua Iron Smelting Plant, coupled with the planning and rectification of Hu Yuancheng and Eunuch Haishou, has long formed a complete and mature production model.

Not only are there blast furnaces and iron smelting plants rising from the ground, but there are also arsenals that work day and night!

In a sense, the Royal Manufacturing Bureau's hand has perfectly reached into the Zunhua Iron Smelting Factory, and it is still under the watchful eye of Emperor Yongle.

Because of the entry of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, Zunhua Iron Smelting Plant has achieved rapid development.

Both the production capacity and the quality of the weapons produced are still rising steadily. More new weapons are being developed here one by one. Eunuch Haishou even followed the example of the Royal Manufacturing Bureau and established a scientific research department just for the purpose. Develop new weapons and armaments.

In three years, from the Zunhua Iron Smelting Factory to the Royal Manufacturing Bureau, various new equipment and weapons are being produced in cooperation with each other.

As long as these new weapons and equipment pass the test of war, are sent to the hands of border soldiers, and undergo a baptism of blood and fire, if there are no problems, they can be mass-produced and equipped in large quantities for the army.

When these weapons and equipment are equipped to each army, the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty War Division will once again jump to a new level!

Brave soldiers need not only fighting spirit and perseverance, but also sophisticated weapons, solid and durable yet lightweight armor!

These two things are indispensable to any army.

At this moment, King Zhu Gaoxu of Han was standing on a high mountain outside the iron smelting factory, with a perfect view of the entire Zunhua Iron Smelting Factory. Hai Shou, the eunuch guarding the iron smelting factory, stood respectfully behind His Highness the King of Han.

Eunuch Haishou still remembers that he was just a young eunuch in the Bingzhan Bureau. He had no power and had to be bullied.

But things are different now. He, Haishou, has become the guarding eunuch of this Zunhua Iron Smelting Factory. He is the master of tens of thousands of hardworking craftsmen, and he can control their life and death at will!

These changes, UU Reading www. uukanshu.net all originated from His Highness the King of Han.

Therefore, Eunuch Haishou respected the prince in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't understand Eunuch Haishou's little thoughts, but he fell into deep thought as he looked at the huge steel factory puffing out thick smoke.

The scene in front of him, which was close to future generations, happened in the Ming Dynasty, which gave Zhu Gaoxu a feeling of time and space being confused.

This damn place is filled with blast furnaces that spit out thick smoke day and night. Isn’t it going to become London, the smog capital of the Industrial Revolution, tomorrow?

"Hai Shou, what a big change!"

"It seems that you have really not been lazy in the past two years."

"What the prince said is absolutely true." Eunuch Haishou nodded repeatedly, "The changes are huge. These blast furnaces that have been built are nothing that existed two years ago."

Looking at these densely packed blast furnaces, Eunuch Haishou's face was full of pride.

"Okay, these are all your contributions, Hai Shou. I will ask your Majesty for the credit."

Eunuch Haishou was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly bowed to salute.

"Thank you, Your Highness, King Han."

At this time, a group of people walked up, it was Yang Shiqi and others.

As soon as Yang Shiqi saw Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, he couldn't move.

When Zhu Gaoxu saw Yang Shiqi, he couldn't help but walked over quickly.

The two of them looked at each other silently.

"Husky, darker and thinner."

"Prince Han, you still have the same style."

After the two joked with each other, the atmosphere became cheerful.

Yang Shiqi followed Zhu Gaoxu's gaze and was deeply shocked the next moment.

There are countless densely packed blast furnaces, rising into the sky like evil dragons, puffing out thick smoke wantonly.

"Your Highness, this...this is..."

"This is my Ming Dynasty's future!"
