In the months since the Ministry of Finance's economic march southward, the harvest has been rich.
The Tea Department not only controls a large number of tea gardens in Jiangxi, but also controls a large number of tea gardens in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian. A considerable number of precious tea plantations have also become the spoils of the Tea Department.
The General Administration of Weaving controls many textile factories and raw silk production factories in Jiangnan, and controls a considerable part of the raw material production and finished product manufacturing. It can fully form a scale, and can start production immediately after only a slight rectification.
The Lacquer Porcelain Division also made large-scale inroads into Jingdezhen and the mountainous areas of Fujian, taking control of the private kilns controlled by the clan's descendants and controlling a considerable part of the porcelain production capacity.
In addition to the property of the clan members, all property belonging to the [war criminal] families named by the Ming Dynasty for punishment also belongs to the Ming Dynasty. This is clearly stipulated in the peace treaty.
So the Ministry of Finance not only extended its hands to various places, but also extended its hands to Lin'an City.
Let’s not talk about other families of war criminals. Let’s just talk about the Zhang Jun family, the Qin Hui family, and the Wang family of Qin Hui’s wife. How can a high-ranking family with a lot of wealth be so rich?
Because of this, Shen Gai didn't even dare to do it himself when he arrested them for questioning. It was better to ask Ming Guo to do it than to let himself do it.
Although these two families have little political power, they have high status and great influence. If he takes action personally, it will inevitably make his colleagues fearful.
So he implored Ming Guo to arrest the people himself.
If you are a bad person, you will be bad to the end, right?
So the Ming army garrison entered Lin'an City and went to the locations of the three clans at the same time, killing the Zhang Jun family, the Qin Hui family, and the Wang family in one fell swoop.
In order to deal with the power of these three families, the Ming army mobilized more than a thousand troops and killed more than 200 servants and more than 20 clan members of the three families who tried to resist. Only then did the three families be uprooted and cleaned up.
The Qin Hui family is the easiest to deal with. The Zhang Jun family is rich and powerful, but they don't have enough background, so it's easy to deal with them.
The Wang family is inherited from Wang Gui, the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. It has been a wealthy and political family for many generations. It has gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs and has become extremely powerful. When it was defined as a war criminal family by the Ming Dynasty, the whole family went berserk. In one fell swoop, the century-old connections were activated and almost destroyed Lin'an City. Turned over.
Shen Gai even wanted to avoid them and didn't dare to talk to them, lest he be entangled by them and unable to escape. He even got so anxious that he hid in the Ming Dynasty's Lin'an office to seek Ming Dynasty's intervention.
The Wang family also resisted the most fiercely. They even tried to escape to the sea as a family. As a result, they were captured by Ming warships at sea. The entire family was uprooted. Hundreds of members of the family were captured and tried in the Ming Dynasty.
At the time of the trial, the Wang family was also the family that committed the most crimes in every sense. A total of eleven men and three women in the family were sentenced to death, and the rest were all exiled to Heilongjiang Province to perform hard labor.
The Ministry of Finance reviewed the property of the Wang family and determined that although the Zhang Jun family is the richest on the surface and controls a lot of real estate and various business resources, the Wang family is not prominent and the scale of their family assets exceeds More than twice that of Zhang Jun’s family.
Compared with them, the Zhang Jun family is a nouveau riche, sharp but lacking in background, just like the difference between old money and new money in old New York.
Compared with these two families, the Qin Hui family can be regarded as a poor household living on subsistence allowances, and they are embarrassed to show off their little wealth and industry.
There really is no harm without comparison.
The descendants of the Zhao Song clan did control a considerable part of the high-quality commercial resources of the Southern Song Dynasty, but do not underestimate these powerful war criminal families who hold high positions.
The business wealth controlled by these war criminal families is definitely not a small amount.
Take the Zhang Jun family as an example.
The Zhang Jun family has done a lot in the commercial export of silk, tea and porcelain. It owns more than 20 private weaving institutes, more than a dozen private tea houses and more than 30 private kilns. The industry covers the southeast, central and central regions of the Southern Song Dynasty. Sichuan region.
The Zhang Jun family is also involved in the Sichuan brocade industry that the Ming Dynasty Weaving Administration covets, not to mention other industries such as land, shops, private salt, catering, etc. There is no industry that the Zhang Jun family is not involved in.
It can be seen how spread out their stalls are, and they are definitely not just talking about being rich in the world.
With such a huge industrial scale as the foundation, it is no wonder that Zhang Jun was able to leave that famous food list in the history of Chinese catering.
The life of the entire Zhang Jun family is extravagant, and the oppression of the common people cannot even be described as cruel. The whole family is filled with the atmosphere of drunkenness and wealth.
The Zhang Jun family is like this, but the old money Wang family is certainly even better. They control more private tea houses, porcelain kilns and textile factories than the Zhang Jun family.
And when their liquidation was almost over, the Tea Department, the Lacquer Porcelain Department, and the General Weaving Bureau had all been fattened up by more than one circle. They even needed to urgently transfer more professional economic officials from them. Help them deal with the property of these criminals, otherwise they will not be able to deal with it at all.
There are too many industries, too many places, too many production raw materials, workers and production tools involved, really too many.
Most of these businesses are managed by the children of the Zhao Song clan and the major powerful families. They are considered professional managers in this era. The businessmen are the white gloves of these powerful families, and most of the profits go to the powerful. Yes, businessmen don't get much.
But now the powerful people have been wiped out, and the businessmen have not been able to gain freedom, let alone attack their masters, because the powerful Ming Dynasty has intervened.
The businessmen who managed commercial assets on their behalf had no ability to resist in the face of the powerful Ming Dynasty. They honestly handed over important things such as account books, warehouse keys, etc., and then obediently waited for further processing by the Ming Dynasty.
For Mingguo, it is of course very satisfying to acquire these high-quality commercial assets, but it also means a lot of work.
In this case, Ming officials needed professional managers who were familiar with the situation to assist them in handling these matters.
The entire processing work must be speeded up, rectification must be accelerated, unified coordination must be accelerated, and the pace must be coordinated with the Quanzhou and Guangzhou Shipping Departments controlled by the Ming Dynasty, so that the maritime trade that has been interrupted and stagnant for a period of time can be restored as soon as possible.
Maritime trade has been suspended for several months since the great rectification, which has been a big blow to the original merchants. For the Ming Dynasty's maritime trade policy, long-term stagnation is also not good.
Therefore, officials in the three departments generally choose to use these professional managers and white gloves who are familiar with things to help them organize these widely distributed and scattered tea gardens, textile factories and folk kilns.
On the one hand, it is necessary to count and calculate the production capacity and transportation conditions of these production areas; on the other hand, it is also necessary to reform these production areas.
They introduced the Ming Dynasty's experience in reorganizing and operating factories into these tea gardens, textile factories and folk kilns, bringing it to these earliest industrial workers with extremely poor living conditions, extremely low political status and relatively meager incomes. dawn.
In accordance with the operating system of state-owned factories in the Ming Dynasty, the three departments introduced the semi-piece-rate wage system and the management system of field directors and instructors to these places. They also introduced the production team system and the welfare policy for workers in the Ming Dynasty.
Officials of the Ming Dynasty asked workers in tea gardens, textile factories, and folk kilns to nominate highly respected people who could convince the public to serve as garden directors and field directors, and then dispatched officials with Fuxing membership status within the department who had relevant professional knowledge to serve as these directors. Factory instructor.
The instructor is responsible for conveying to the workers the Ming Dynasty's treatment policy for workers and the Ming Dynasty's political trends, setting scientific working hours and rest times for the factory, and supervising the extent to which the factory implements the regulations.
Then he is responsible for organizing some amateur cultural and sports activities for the workers, creating a lively atmosphere, bringing everyone closer to each other, and creating conditions for breaking the rigid production model of the Southern Song Dynasty.
After this series of actions, these industrial workers who struggled to survive under the cruel administrative orders of the Southern Song Dynasty court ushered in the dawn of their own lives.
