If you are not a family member, you really don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are.
Zhu Daohua rubbed his temples.
There is no need to count on the agricultural tax in Guangdong in the next two years.
Moreover, we should develop large-scale industry in Guangdong.
The amount of money required to be invested upfront is also an astronomical amount.
It seems that he was really wise when he made up his mind to seduce the businessmen of the Thirteenth Line. Otherwise, how can he practice capitalism if he is a capitalist on his own?
In this capitalism, you must first have capital.
But compared with the Qing court.
The advantage of Ming Dynasty is that there are Daohua Bank and Chris Bank, two de facto central banks in Nanyang and Guangdong, which can "change money" through monetary policy.
In addition, HSBC is now also a bank with a very strong reputation in Guangdong, and its reserve accumulation is close to that of Daohua Bank and Chris Bank.
With these three major banks at hand.
Zhu Daohua's Ming Palace could maintain operations by raising funds from banks and issuing treasury bonds through banking institutions.
"How many flag properties have been confiscated by the three prefectures of Guangzhou, Zhaoqing and Shaozhou?"
Zhu Daohua asked.
Of course, you have to search your home.
For example, the banner property of bannermen in Guangdong, the property of officials from other places who are officials in Guangdong, and the properties of some Guangdong officials who are officials in other places.
Speaking of which.
Gu Song was quite dumbfounded.
These high-ranking officials in Guangzhou all surrendered quite easily because they deposited their money in HSBC Bank.
On the contrary, few local and county officials surrendered.
On the one hand, these officials are foreign officials.
Except for a few who hanged themselves after the underworld armed forces of the Tiandihui invaded the county.
Most just walked away.
Just ran away.
Of course their properties in Guangdong will be confiscated.
Another part of the people are from local clans in Guangdong.
These clans have children who are officials in other places.
A few blind people dared to organize group training to fight against the Ming Dynasty. Of course, these people's properties would be confiscated, their families would be destroyed, and they would be buried as victims of the Qing Dynasty.
Most of them stayed behind closed doors and prepared to stay out of the trouble. However, they had children who were serving as officials outside and did not surrender, so they only confiscated their properties and did not confiscate their homes.
Of course.
This part of the copy is not just a small part,
The bulk of it lies in the banner properties of the bannermen, as well as the properties of imperial merchants and official merchants in Guangzhou.
Guangzhou is China's largest commercial city in this era.
For example, the Thirteen Banks were officials and merchants, but their roots were in Guangdong. Driven by economic interests, they successfully defected to the Ming Dynasty.
Those imperial merchants and government merchants based in the north and south of the Yangtze River had no choice but to abandon their industries in Guangdong and continue to serve the Qing Dynasty.
Speaking of this, Gu Song's face became a little excited.
"The farm property alone covers more than 6 million acres, and there are more than 10,000 shops and houses. It is roughly estimated that the value is more than 10 million Ming Yuan, and the gold, silver and jewelry are equivalent to more than 10 million Ming Yuan."
Zhu Daohua also nodded slightly when he heard this.
No wonder Li Zicheng fought his way through the rebellion.
If you don’t get any money from copying, it’s just quick.
At this moment, Boss Zhu wanted to be King Li Chuang, so he might as well kill him all the way and grab him all the way.
But reason still prevailed over impulse.
After all, it was great for King Li Chuang to do this, but it would be a big trouble to clean up the situation in the future.
"Your Majesty, these more than six million acres of arable land already account for one-fifth of the total arable land in Guangdong, and most of them are concentrated around Guangzhou Prefecture. They are the best arable land in Guangdong. We need to solve the problems surrounding Guangzhou Prefecture. The problem of the overpowering power of the Binghe Tiandihui still needs to be dealt with from the more than six million farmland."
Qian Heng said.
"Yes, yes, the big guys from the Tiandihui still have their merits. We can't kill the donkey, otherwise no one will dare to follow us in the future. But we can't afford to support so many people. The best way is Divide the talent and reward the merit!”
Zhang Hong, Minister of the Navy, said.
"That's right, we can also get started with joining the army and allocating land as promised."
Zhao Si also said hurriedly.
Now the land rolls in the hands of Ming army soldiers can be exchanged for part of them.
To improve the morale of the army, it is also conducive to recruitment.
Zhu Daohua had a headache when he heard that the two leaders of the army and navy said that they would allocate land to the big bosses of the Tiandihui.
Most of the confiscated land belonged to the Guangzhou Prefecture. These more than six million acres were worth at least 200 million Ming Yuan.
This is the best paddy field in the Pearl River Delta.
Although the fertility of the land is not comparable to the black soil in the Northeast.
But the advantage is that the terrain is flat, there is plenty of water, and there is plenty of heat.
Planting two crops of rice a year can easily produce a harvest.
Moreover, there are many rich people in Guangzhou Prefecture, and these local wealthy people like to buy land when they are rich - like most Chinese people, this has pushed the price of land around Guangzhou Prefecture to the level of the factory.
Therefore, these more than six million acres of cultivated land are definitely a huge sum of money.
"The land cannot be divided in vain. We can use the strategy of Tian Dai Xiang. The big bosses and leaders of the Tiandihui who are allocated the fields will send their sons to join the army!"
It is the original policy of the Ming army to replace the sound with fields.
With the land now owned by the Ming army.
According to the price of thirty acres of paddy field for a soldier to serve for ten years.
Enough to exchange for an army of 200,000.
The price of thirty acres of paddy field is between 1,000 Ming Yuan and 1,500 Ming Yuan.
Far more than the thirty yuan of military pay per year.
A soldier of the Ming army worked for twenty years without eating, drinking or consuming, and he could only save enough to buy thirty acres of paddy fields.
"This is a way. When you join the army, you will be given ten acres of land first, and after ten years of service, you will be given twenty acres. These thirty acres of paddy field will be exchanged for a soldier to serve for ten years. Even if you don't get military pay, it is not a bad treatment, right?" Please?

Zhu Daohua looked at Wu Dunyuan and others.
These businessmen are well aware of the land prices in Guangzhou.
"I'm afraid I won't get it..." Wu Dunyuan said.
"That's okay, and it can also be stipulated that soldiers who are seriously injured, disabled or killed in battle, no matter how many years they have served, can receive the twenty acres of land that should be obtained after the expiration of their service period by their family members or themselves. In this way, my Ming Dynasty Soldiers should have no worries on the battlefield."
Zhu Daohua smiled.
Zhao Wen and Xue Siyuan looked at each other.
Originally they thought King Zhu Ming was too kind.
It would be okay if he was a established king, but when it comes to the founding king who conquered the world, he still lacked a lot of ruthlessness.
But now it seems.
This King Zhu Ming is really generous.
Such a big deal, just give millions of acres to the big soldiers below.
Thus.
How could these top soldiers not regard Zhu Ming as his reborn parents?
Moreover, all the land allocated was owned by bureaucrats and gentry loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
If the Ming Dynasty is defeated.
Their land is gone.
Bao Daming.
It is to report the family business.
This method is really too high!
There are millions of acres of land.
You can easily get hundreds of thousands of soldiers to serve you.
There are hundreds of thousands of people.
It is almost not difficult to defeat the Manchu Qing.
This King Zhu Ming looks kind and kind.
But this means...
But he really deserves to be the founder of the country.
And only King Zhu Ming can use this trick.
He is sharing someone else's land and doesn't feel bad about it.
What about the Manchu and Qing Dynasties?
The land belonged either to the bannermen or to Han bureaucrats loyal to the Manchus.
Whose land you divide is your own flesh.
Who can cut it?
The more Zhu Daohua talked, the more he felt that he had found the state.
After all, I have systematically studied the history textbooks of later generations.
In this set of textbooks, the art of slaying dragons is taught step by step.
"Yes, this is a good idea."
Zhu Daohua paced back and forth a few steps.
"All the soldiers and bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty can apply for this treatment, and apply for land instead of Xiang. All volunteers from the Tiandihui in various places who meet the conditions for conscription can be treated according to this treatment. As for the big bosses of the halls in various places, as long as they are willing to dissolve the halls and dispatch When the children of the family join the army, in addition to enjoying the treatment of "replacing the field with the field", they can also be given a title!"
"By the way, when Guangdong is settled, we will start to confer knighthoods on meritorious people. This title will also receive an annuity according to the grade."
When Zhu Daohua said this, his expression became serious.
"I can say that I am very loyal to these big bosses of the Tiandihui. If I don't want to be a security guard, then the king of Ming Dynasty is no joke."
"Military advisor, we will have a discussion in the next few days to come up with the [Law on Conferring Land for Military Service] and the [Law on Ennoblement]. From now on, we must act in accordance with the law."
"yes!"
Gu Song responded hurriedly.
If it was just a verbal policy before.
Then if a law is promulgated, King Ming will sign it and implement it and declare it to the world.
That is the king's law.
It must be done in accordance with the law.
And now that the Ming Dynasty has opened, it's time to name some heroes.
At least now it seems that King Zhu Ming is quite tolerant.
And he is also very generous to his opponents.
After deliberation, two laws were to be promulgated, the [Law on Conferring Land for Military Service] and the [Law on Conferring Nobility in the Ming Dynasty].
After the Tiandihui underworld armed forces in the counties of northeastern Guangdong, eastern Guangdong, and western Guangdong were dismantled, we should follow the method of recruiting brave men, sending their sons to join the army, and winning titles from the bigwigs of the Tiandihui.
Another problem to be solved next is the loyal and loyal people of the Qing Dynasty who stayed in Guangdong.
"These people are stubborn and die-hard loyal to the Qing Tatars. I think it would be better to kill them all." Zhao Si, the Minister of War, made a beheading gesture.
When Luo Fangbo heard this, he shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, there are at least fifty or sixty thousand of these people. Killing them all will probably give Qianlong a large number of loyal Han officials. It is better to let these people lose all their property." Zhongliang of the Qing Dynasty was sent to the north."
"Haha, can it be that Mr. Qianlong can still raise these 50,000 to 60,000 people as bannermen?"
"Oh?" Zhu Daohua's eyes lit up.
"Yes, this is a great loyal man of the Qing Dynasty. Qianlong can't treat him badly, right? If he wants to feed him, he will have 50,000 or 60,000 mouths to eat. Otherwise, haha, wouldn't it chill the hearts of all the loyal ministers of the dynasty? . And to use... Are my royal guards vegetarian? "
The families of Guangdong officials and local tycoons who were loyal to the Qing Dynasty in Guangdong numbered between 50,000 and 60,000.
These people are left empty-handed.
Once you get to the north, you have to rely on the Qing court for support.
When the time comes, whether Qianlong will support it or not, he will not use it.
It's all a nuisance.
And if the Ming army continues to move northward in the future.
The number of similar people will expand to hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
How can these people be raised?
But if you don’t keep it.
Isn’t this the Manchu Qing Dynasty trying to lose all its loyalty?
"Okay! Let's do it. Notices will be posted on the railway lines in every county tomorrow. All Manchu survivors can leave Guangdong, and Daohuaxing's merchant ships will take them to Songjiang Prefecture. The amount of property no one is allowed to carry shall not exceed three taels of silver. , you are not allowed to bring gold, bank deposit certificates, or bank deposit certificates to the scene!"
In fact, it’s not like King Zhu Ming didn’t give these people a way out.
Just cut off the braids.
Be obedient and obedient.
Then their property and life safety can be guaranteed.
From this aspect.
King Zhu Ming is indeed too kind.
Got here.
The meeting was considered a great success.
There are solutions to the two major problems that plagued the Ming Palace that had just acquired Guangzhou.
Then everyone raised another topic: proclaiming himself emperor!
"proclaim oneself emperor..."
Zhu Daohua pondered for a moment.
Let’s talk about after getting Guangdong.
Zhu Daohua can indeed be called the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and directly compete with the Qing Dynasty.
However, Boss Zhu thought about it again and again, and still felt that proclaiming himself emperor could be postponed.
Because it's clear.
within the next one or two hundred years.
With the advancement in productivity brought about by the Industrial Revolution.
The autocratic monarchy will slowly begin to be eliminated and decline.
Especially the unified feudal dynasties in the East.
It is even more difficult to adapt to the development of the times.
What kind of country does Zhu Daohua want to build?
What kind of emperor do you want to be?
What kind of dynasty to build.
Zhu Daohua has been thinking about these issues for a long time.
But I haven't found the answer yet.
Proclaiming himself emperor was a big event for Zhu Daohua.
As the founding king.
The rules at the beginning are very important, because he has enough prestige to implement some systems and policies suitable for future development.
If these things were left to his descendants to solve, it would probably be even more difficult.
Any change is easiest to do at the beginning.
Want to reform midway.
The internal resistance is enough to deter all reformers.
Sooner or later, the era of the dictatorial monarch will come to an end.
Zhu Daohua knows one thing very well.
That is, no system can restrain him, the founding emperor.
So now is the best time for him to design the system of a country and a political power.
Zhu Daohua was in no hurry to proclaim himself emperor.
At least.
That was until he figured out what kind of country he wanted to get.
Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said: "There are so many things going on in Guangdong now. There is no rush to proclaim the emperor. It will not be too late to at least pacify the south before proclaiming the emperor. Now let's call him Ming Wang first and act according to the current Ming Prince's Mansion. ."
Now the structure of Zhu Daohua's Ming Palace is very simple.
Military Advisor Gu Song is the de facto prime minister, so a cabinet will be established headed by the left and right prime ministers. Under the cabinet are various civil affairs and administrative departments, with six temporary departments.
Outside the cabinet is the Generalissimo's Palace.
The Generalissimo's Office is under the jurisdiction of the General Staff Department, the Army Department, the Navy Department, and the Equipment Department.
Responsible for the command, training and individual direction operations of the Army and Navy.
The Grand Marshal was the Ming King himself. Napoleon Bonaparte had not yet been naturalized in the Ming Dynasty (he still had France in mind), so he was in charge of the General Staff as the general adviser.
At the local level, there are four levels: province, prefecture, county and township.
The provincial chief is the governor, the prefecture has a magistrate, the county has a magistrate, and the township has a township magistrate, an eighth-rank official, to replace the clan magistrate who manages the original local clan self-management.
It is very simple and concise.
The advantage of this is that cabinet departments can be added or cut at any time according to the situation in the future.
"Another thing is to prepare for the imperial examination next March! We must first make the content of the imperial examination public so that candidates in Guangdong and Lanfang can prepare in advance."
Zhu Daohua suppressed the issue of proclaiming himself emperor.
to him.
There is actually not much difference between whether he is the Ming King or the Ming Emperor.
"Your Majesty, one more thing is, do your Daohua Bank, Chris Bank, HSBC and other industries need to establish Royal Merchant Management?"
Qian Heng originally worked as a manager at Daohua Trading Company.
The question he is raising now is also quite urgent.
King Zhu Ming himself had property.
Are his properties comparable to those of the imperial merchants of the Qing Dynasty?

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.

My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
