*****************************************
After other heads of state saw that the Ming Emperor could actually make money with gadgets based on his own model, they naturally had their own plans...
Although this profit model seems a bit shameless, it is indeed a good method, and it has no technical content and is very easy to be imitated on a large scale.
Zhu Cixiang always considered himself to be "kind". For example, he asked Fang Yizhi to persuade Louis XIV to amend the relevant regulations to allow men from top to bottom in France to marry multiple wives.
They also use flexible promotion methods to seduce heads of state to purchase armored ships that waste people and money, and involve them in the never-ending global arms race!
For these heads of state, this kind of figure is equivalent to seeing the money back directly. It is not easy to find an opportunity to stuff money into their pockets legitimately.
This extremely mysterious thing, if you don’t believe it, it won’t work, and if you believe it, it may not work…
Had it not been for the common people who began to worship newspapers printed with imperial edicts, it would have grown out of control.
A certain emperor will not just follow the trend and launch a bunch of his own figurine products. Everything is left to chance and cannot be forced!
With the support of the elixir, other heads of state can live for another hundred and eighty years, which is enough for them to go back and fool their respective Zimin.
In the past, newspapers and magazines were used to fool people, but now they are replaced by figurines and ornaments. It is just a different way to make money.
Today, there are hundreds of newspapers published in various parts of the Ming Empire, and there are no less than twenty major and small newspapers in Beidu alone.
The newspapers in Beidu are published by three parties. One is the World Media Group, which is owned by a certain emperor, Princess Le'an, and the consort Gong Yonggu. The other two are the General Affairs Department and the Ministry of Rites.
In addition to "Jingshi Daily", the other publications published by World Media Group are mainly entertainment-based, with the purpose of increasing sales and making money.
It was also the first to produce magazines. Now its magazines include "War Chronicles", "Fashion Trends", "Story Collection", "Auto World", "Humanities and History", "World Food", "World Geography" and more than ten magazines. So many species.
There are more than a dozen comics and cartoons in circulation, and they are updated at a rate of one per month. They are all profitable projects, which prompted Princess Le'an to give up the development of newspapers and focus on magazines, comics, and other fields.
The General Affairs Department publishes the most newspapers, including Beidu Morning Post, Beidu Evening News, Daming Metropolis Daily, and World News.
There are also a bunch of more professional newspapers such as "Health and Wellness News", "Antiques, Calligraphy and Paintings and Treasures News", "Furniture and Electrical Appliances News", "Agriculture News", "Transportation and Tourism News", "Architecture and Landscape News".
The Ministry of Rites is involved in the fewest newspapers and magazines, but this does not mean that it cannot make more money, because it is responsible for publishing the "Da Ming Dictionary" and "Da Ming Dictionary" every ten years.
Moreover, textbooks for primary schools, middle schools, and universities were also compiled by the Ministry of Rites and the Academy of Sciences, and various documents and regulations of the imperial court were jointly compiled by other departments of the Ministry of Rites.
Except for the "New Ming Dynasty Code" which was compiled by the Duchayuan, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishments, the books used by other institutions were basically with the participation of the Ministry of Rites.
A certain emperor has long been disinterested in newspapers, magazines, and even comics and other paper media, because movies are the biggest piece of cake.
World Media Group shoots thousands of movies every year, among which the average number of large-scale productions is one per month.
The kind of movies that can be starred by two or three people can reach the point where two or three movies can be completed in one day.
Then there are movies about eating and broadcasting, survival, cooking, travel, health preservation, sports, treasure appraisal, etc. Although the investment is small, there is still a huge market.
The advantage of this kind of movie is that the ticket price is cheap, which is very suitable for people to watch in their spare time. It is more affordable to buy a monthly pass or even an annual pass.
Other heads of state also copied this aspect, because it is obvious that the more Zimin they have, the greater the demand for this aspect, and the more money they will make.
France, the Incas, and the Ottomans are the three countries that have learned the fastest, and their populations also happen to be among the top five countries in the world.
The Holy Roman Empire would do the same in the future, but for now it was still focusing on resuming production, and Leopold had to let Zimin fill his stomach first.
One thing they can't learn yet is that Emperor Haojing approved the establishment of Shunfeng Express Company, which established the world's first cargo flying team.
The type of aircraft used is the "Hercules" transport aircraft. Although the price of air mail is high, the cargo hold of each flight is full.
For example, if a young man living in Nandu wants to see a certain movie or comic as soon as possible, he has to send a telegram to his friends in Beidou.
I would rather spend an extra ten silver coins on shipping to get a sneak peek.
Since people are not short of money, the rest of the things will be easy to handle...
There are Shunfeng Express flights taking off from Beidou or Nandu every day. Due to its high efficiency of same-day delivery, it is very popular among users who are not short of money.
When the routes are familiar to pilots in the next year or so, Zhu Cixiang can send people to establish an airline and start small-scale manned flights.
A "Hercules" can carry eight to ten passengers and can reach Nandu on the same day, but it is much faster than trains or merchant ships.
This is also because the Academy of Sciences continues to improve it, which has greatly improved the reliability of the upgraded version of "Hercules".
Otherwise, Zhu Cixiang would not dare to allow this type of aircraft to be used for passengers, and it would be a journey of death...
In the early stage, a certain emperor asked Shunfeng Express to fully guarantee the goods entrusted by customers to transport.
Once the plane crashes or is lost during the flight, the company will fully compensate the customer.
The premise is that it is impossible for Shunfeng Express to transport items that are too valuable, usually letters, books, movie copies, etc.
If you are not in a hurry, you can take the more economical railway transportation.
The southbound railway has been built from Beidu to Jiangdu (Yangzhou), but it does not cross the Yangtze River.
There are also railways in the Jiangnan area, from Ma'anshan to Qiantang (Hangzhou) via Nandu, Dantu (Zhenjiang), Changzhou (Suzhou), Huating (Songjiang).
Although the distance of this railway is not too long, due to the dense water network along the way, a large number of bridges need to be built, making its construction cost much higher than that of the Northern Railway of the same distance.
The geographical restrictions in the south on railway construction also make the railways in the southern provinces one by one.
From South Zhili to Zhejiang there is the Ma'anshan to Qiantang railway, and from Yunnan to Guizhou there is the Kunming to Guiyang railway.
There is a railway from Panyu (Guangzhou) to Cangwu (Wuzhou, Guangxi) in Guangdong and Guangxi, and a railway from Houguan (Fuzhou) to Xiamen in Fujian.
Why not connect these sections of railway?
There are many reasons for this!
Guangdong’s investment accounts for 95% of the Guangdong-Guangdong Railway. Why not build the railway to Qujiang in northern Guangdong, but to Cangwu in Guangxi?
The reason is that building a railway to Cangwu will pass through wealthy areas such as Foshan, Zhaoqing, and Deqing along the way, and there is no need to climb mountains.
Building railways in this way can minimize costs and maximize benefits.
Therefore, the local people in Guangdong, from the governor to the gentry, actively supported the construction of the railway to Guangxi, but opposed the construction of the railway to Qujiang in this province.
Another important reason is that the clan power in the south is much greater than that in the north, so the resistance to railway construction is much greater.
The imperial court paid for the construction of main line railways, but the consent of local clans was required before land acquisition could be carried out.
As for the various places in the south, a certain emperor was too lazy to waste time with them.
As long as the other party does not object to the imperial court's order to move Min, there is no need to pay attention to them.
In view of the fact that he will move to the new capital in Omsk in the future, Zhu Cihong does not plan to connect the railways in various parts of the south, which can just save the court some money.
The only thing a certain emperor could not tolerate was local opposition to the imperial court's order to move Min. Anyone who dared to object would have to go mining!
Most of the mining areas are located outside the customs. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a disguised form of change...
There are three levels of migration, the upper level is voluntary migration.
That is, people take the initiative to apply to move to places outside their homeland to settle. This kind of immigrants enjoy the highest treatment. They can choose any overseas territory and choose the type of land that suits their own needs.
There are forest lands and cultivated lands to choose from. Those who arrive first can choose fertile soil with a pleasant climate and close to rivers for easy irrigation.
If you have money, you can even buy your own lake for fishing...
The medium level means that the imperial court issues an order to relocate the entire county's people.
This kind of migrant people are settled in a designated place. They cannot choose a large site, but they can choose a small site that belongs to their own family.
The treatment is slightly worse than the former, but it can satisfy every household.
After all, a family with hundreds of acres or even thousands of acres of land is a treatment that only local landowners can get.
Being inferior is very simple. If you disobey orders, the whole family will go mining for ten years and then go to a certain place to colonize.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were many people who held the idea that their homeland could not be moved, especially the wealthy gentry.
It’s understandable that they don’t want to leave. After all, we have a big business and it would be difficult to move.
But they incited their own tenants and resisted the imperial orders, so they could not be tolerated and condoned.
For these stubborn people, Zhu Cixiang's countermeasures were simple. First, check the local officials. If they were at the least, they would never be retained. In the most serious cases, their homes would be confiscated and their clans would be destroyed.
Anyone who dares to oppose Yimin is the enemy of Ming Dynasty.
There is no need to show any mercy to the enemy.
The Third Law Department first sent people to check, and if it still didn't work, they went to the factory guard.
Anyone who dares to obstruct the factory guard from handling the case will be punished as treason!
Zhu Cixiang didn't want to hear any reason why he couldn't move, he just wanted to know if it could be done and how it was done!
This issue must be addressed with a zero-tolerance approach.
If you allow one family not to move, the entire village or even the entire county may stop moving.
Even if you dig out the coffins from your ancestors' graves and take them away, you still have to move them overseas for me to settle down!
All people have only two choices, either move overseas or move to the mining area!
If you choose the former, poor people can also get treatment like landlords.
Choosing the latter, wealthy gentry and landowners can also obtain slave errands.
A certain emperor gave priority to the people in remote mountainous areas without access to railways.
Even in another hundred years, these places may still suffer from poverty.
There is either a lack of land, a lack of water, or a lack of both.
If you move to any place such as Northland, Eastland, or Southland, there will be large plains waiting to be reclaimed.
If anyone dares to say that the land he has been allocated is not enough to support his family, it is either a problem with the local officials or he is lying.
Any family that settles overseas, even a young couple, can get at least 300 acres of land.
There is one stone of potatoes per acre of real estate, and the total output is as much as three hundred stones. Fortunately, there is no need to pay taxes in the first five years.
Three hundred shi is more than 5,000 kilograms. This is not enough for two people. They are really a pig couple...
According to statistics from various places overseas, the yield of potatoes per mu is at least two dan.
The yield of three hundred acres is ten thousand catties, which is enough to feed two families and give birth to a baby.
Anyone who moved to Min would be given food and daily necessities by the court in the first year. They could just carry a package and settle there.
A certain emperor would not just show off his tough tactics, but would still use both soft and hard tactics.
Each province has a model prefecture and county that took the lead in moving to Min. Every year, the imperial court would send people who had moved there and performed well to come back for publicity.
With photos and movies as evidence, coupled with vivid rhetoric, it is naturally very tempting.
After all, the majority of the world is still poor, and it is the unanimous wish of all poor people to live a good life like a landlord.
Become a landlord overseas? ? ?
With local land rents remaining high, more and more farmers have chosen this path of no return.
It’s not that you’ll die if you move there, but you may never return to your hometown in your lifetime.
But as the newspapers said, the emperor was vigorously building a new capital in the north.
They may have to move there in the future, and the resistance of the people will be greatly weakened.
Maybe the emperor regarded the new capital as a summer resort, but after all, he would stay there for a summer.
Since the emperor would go to Beidu, and the previous newspaper also said that the emperor personally went there to inspect the city's construction situation.
Then you can feel more at ease when you take your family there.
The simplest idea is that as long as Emperor Haojing goes to live there, the conditions should not be too bad...
yes!
A certain emperor would not go out to open up wasteland, but the common people would do it themselves!
Be it Northland, Southland or Eastland, people are welcome to settle there.
Especially in the vast and sparsely populated east coast area, people in the Ming Dynasty used to be able to be local owners, farmers, or fishing boat owners.
After getting inside information from the second prince, the first person to settle there could own a small western-style building left by the Dutch without paying a single silver coin.
New Amsterdam has been renamed "New City", which means "hub". In the past, almost all the people who settled there were those who embraced the second prince Zhu Xiangzhen.
The city's urban construction status is the most complete on the entire east coast, and second only to New London (Atlanta) during the time of Charles II in the entire eastern region.
The climate in New London is much better than that in New London. Unfortunately, when Huang Ting and Zheng Chenggong led their troops to besiege the city, many barbarians were killed.
The New Fortress was originally handed over to Zheng Chenggong intact by the Dutch and was not damaged to any extent. After Zheng Jun's careful search, no corpses were found in the city.
Therefore, this became the second choice place for Yimin to settle down, and also the first choice place in the entire east. The first choice in the east was Changtan, where summer comes all year round.
Changtan was originally a military fortress. Later, as the number of immigrants increased, it gradually developed into the most livable city in the entire East...
