Not long after Lin Jingchun's announcement, the Ming Dynasty's state and county governments and village and village peasant association organizers in Quanzhou and Guangzhou arrived in full force.
After they arrived, they began to restructure the governance systems of Quanzhou and Guangzhou according to the Ming Dynasty, and carried out comprehensive changes in Quanzhou and Guangzhou, making these two states truly belong to the Ming Dynasty.
As time passed, the merchants understood that the Ming Dynasty was serious and wanted to cut their flesh and eat it.
The Lin'an court was unreliable. It couldn't fight again and again, and it couldn't fight noisily. Could it be that it was necessary to watch its own interests being swallowed up by the Ming Dynasty?
A group of people got together, and some people proposed to engage in economic war, hoarding the necessary daily necessities in the market that they had control of, raising prices, triggering panic in the market, and causing trouble for the people of the Ming Dynasty.
For example, food, fruits and vegetables, salt, etc. can raise prices, engage in economic war, and threaten the people of the Ming Dynasty.
As a result, the people of the Ming Dynasty must be in a hurry, and in order to stabilize the situation, they will definitely compromise with them.
These people make suggestions with confidence.
Then they noticed that other people were looking at them as if they were fools.
"What do you think the knives and artillery in the hands of the Ming army are used for?"
"ah?"
"Do we have foreign aid? Do we have an army? Can anyone cooperate with us inside and outside? There is nothing. Later, people say that there are relevant laws in their explicit laws and they will catch us all. What should we do? What can we do? Huh? You Can you defeat those Ming troops?"
"this……"
"They clearly have troops stationed here, and they clearly tell you not to be cautious. If you do something, they can send the troops down immediately. Do you believe it?"
"Ah this..."
The arrogant fools who suggested it fell silent.
The wise men who objected to this foolish suggestion were silent for a while.
After a long time, an old guy with gray hair let out a long sigh.
"As the old saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress local snakes. Now this strong dragon is a bit too strong, leaving us with nothing to do... He even defeated the backer above. Now he can be said to be a lackey of the Ming Dynasty. How can we businessmen resist?”
A group of big businessmen looked at me and I looked at you, and they all showed helpless and depressed expressions.
This time, the businessmen did not reach a consensus because they were afraid of the Ming army's force. They just planned to take it step by step.
If the Ming Dynasty only came for tariffs, then everyone would just tolerate the calm for a while and just pay a little more to ensure peace.
If they had not come for tariffs, the merchants would never have sat there and waited for death. The Southern Song Dynasty was unreliable, so they could only rely on themselves.
If that doesn't work, then let's work together to moisten Nanyang, far away, so that the Ming army can't do anything to them.
Of course, if they run away, it is definitely not a good thing to leave the place they are familiar with and live in a strange place. Of course, they would be more happy if they could stay and continue doing business and make a fortune. Now they just have to see whether the Ming Kingdom will give them anything. this opportunity.
Facts have proved that the Ming Dynasty, which emphasized social revolution and the nationalization of public ownership of the economic lifeline, is completely incompatible with these extremely private economies.
The Ming Dynasty had no intention of compromising or conceding with them.
The strength gap between the two sides is too big, and their biggest reliance, the Southern Song Dynasty, has been abolished. Now it is just a dog of Daming's father.
Looking around, I am the strongest in East Asia and the largest in the world.
Valley
A group of businessmen try to use their own business methods to confront the powerful state machinery without the assistance of external powers. Isn't this looking for death?
If we don't take this opportunity to devour them all, how long will it take?
Lin Jingchun gave an order, and all the elite departments under the Ministry of Finance of the Ming Dynasty came out together to launch an economic march to Jiangnan.
The first step is to eat up all the war dividends brought by this war. The main target is to take over and control all the properties owned by the children of the Zhao and Song royal families.
This is an economic war after a fire war. The main "armies" deployed to attack are the "elite soldiers" under the Ministry of Finance.
They are sharpening their knives and have long been coveting the high-quality assets of Jiangnan Kingdom.
After years of development, the Ministry of Finance of the Ming Dynasty can indeed be said to be one of the top giant departments among the major departments of the imperial court. It has a large number of officials, a large scope of control, and great power and influence. Therefore, the Ministry of Finance is in charge of The status of disciple Lin Jingchun has also increased.
The public ownership of the economy occupies the main position in the national economy is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. This has been stipulated since the period of the General Affairs Bureau of Zhongdu.
Therefore, as the national power of the Ming Dynasty grew over the years, the size of the Ministry of Finance also continued to expand, and it controlled more and more state-owned industries.
The state-owned commercial institutions under the Ministry of Finance are all department-level establishments. Each establishment department has its own corresponding work category and is highly specialized.
For example, the General Administration of Mines is responsible for the custody of all mineral resources in the country and is responsible for exploration.
For example, the Shanhaichize General Administration is responsible for the management of all rivers, mountains, and precious resources such as wood and stone across the country.
For example, the General Administration of Steel is mainly responsible for the smelting production of steel and other alloys, and is in charge of the steel smelting plants established in all places throughout the Ming Dynasty.
There is also the Agricultural Tools Department, which is mainly responsible for agricultural tools and is responsible for all agricultural tool manufacturing factories and sales stores in Daming.
There is the Salt Division, which is mainly responsible for the management of national salt farms and salt sales stores, as well as the management of private salt sales in the Southern Song Dynasty.
There is the General Administration of Rice and Grain, which is mainly responsible for the collection, storage and sale of grain.
There is the Livestock Division, which is mainly responsible for the raising, breeding and sale of agricultural livestock.
There is the Water Ice Division, which is responsible for the management of ice and sugar-related factories, and the production and sale of related products.
There is a Fertilizer Division that manages the production of all fertilizer factories across the country and is responsible for sales.
There is also the Weaving General Administration, which has overall control over a series of processes from raw materials to sales of all silk, silk, cotton and other related products in the country.
Etc., etc.
It mainly highlights a one-stop process from raw materials to final finished products being released to the market.
They worked closely with the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture and other departments focused on production, and within a few years they created a fairly rigorous and rigorously operated state-owned economic system of the Ming Dynasty, firmly holding the economic lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty in their hands.
There is also a trend to further deepen the overall control of the national economy.
This has almost become the default practice of the Ministry of Finance.
However, the public ownership of the economy does not necessarily have to be in hand.
In the fourth and fifth years of Hongwu, Su Yonglin put forward some opinions to the Ministry of Finance as the scale of state-owned industries controlled by the Ministry of Finance became increasingly large.
His idea is that just like the catering industry, which is now mainly left to the private sector, some less important industries do not require the state to personally operate them. The state only needs to set a standard to manage them, and there is no need to do it to such an extent.
And even if you want to do it well, can you really do it?
