Time came to the tenth year of Chongzhen, and the severe drought in Chongzhen in history came as scheduled.
There was a drought in North China and northwest China, and many places had no harvest. Fortunately, the imperial court had relocated a lot of people, and Zhu Youjian had made preparations in advance.
According to the requirements, the court only provides free food to children under 10 years old and elderly people over 60 years old, and all other people are provided with work-for-relief forms.
Under the command of the imperial court, large-scale state-owned textile factories began to be established in various places.
With extensive safety training and a series of strict rules and regulations, no problems occurred.
As a result, the foundation of industrialization began to be established in Ming Dynasty.
In order to avoid leakage of factory equipment, the oil injection machine directly ordered that in the future, all factories, whether run by the court or privately owned, must have 51% of the shares owned by the court.
Any non-core employees of the factory are prohibited from visiting factory machinery, and foreigners are prohibited from entering the factory.
All machine maintenance personnel are dispatched by the imperial court. If the personnel do not cooperate and work well, the imperial court will deal with it with Mr. Cong.
The court could check the machine's condition at any time.
However, what is different from Zhu Youjian's imagination is that due to drought and insufficient water resources, steam power in various places was originally planned and had to be replaced by human power.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of people in Ming Dynasty, which allowed the factory to operate smoothly. Although the output was less than 80% of the expected, the output was already much higher than before.
The 100 or so factories built during this period directly increased Daming's production output by 20%.
The increase in output not only increased the income of the people, but also further accelerated the imperial court's economic war against surrounding empires.
With the purchase price of raw materials 10% lower than that of locals and the selling price 10% lower than that of locals, the local textile industry in surrounding countries soon suffered a heavy blow.
Their superiors saw the situation, but due to the strength of the Ming Dynasty and other reasons, they did not take any action. Some dynasties even strongly supported the people in planting cotton and other raw materials.
As a result, their food industry has also received challenges.
Fortunately, Zhu Youjian didn't want to do anything too extreme. He just wanted to regain the world and destroy the Western shoe cabinets in the upper class. He didn't want to suppress the people at the bottom too much, so Zhu Youjian also significantly increased the purchase price of grain. , although the grain output of those countries has decreased, at least there will not be widespread starvation to death.
After all, Zhu Youjian has some humanity in Harbin City
Know the importance of food,
Although other countries can be easily destroyed through food, this kind of thing is sad and unreasonable after all, and is not in line with the temperament of the great country of tomorrow.
Moreover, food output cannot be determined by just saying it. Food wars will also greatly affect the court's stability in the new place.
After all, what Ming Dynasty wants is a new place, a new place for notification, and a place for people, not a dead place.
The large amount of cloth trade greatly eased the financial pressure of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the drought had occurred. After people in various places learned about the situation, they also began to take action. Many people began to immigrate in accordance with the call of the imperial court. The Ming Dynasty began a new round of immigration. During the immigration process, the number of Han people in the Annan area, Hainan Island, and South China Sea Islands began to surge.

Some people died, but not completely...
