Zhu Yunzhen dared to set up this situation, naturally because he had already made complete preparations.
No matter what King Qi does.
It is impossible to escape from his Wuzhishan.
Because at this time, the two strongest Monansai kings had already joined his command.
King Zhu Xi of Jin and King Zhu Di of Yan!
One is the Zongling of the Zongren Mansion, and the other is the head of the Taxation Department!
They are all working for him.
If King Zhu Xi of Qi wants to deal with him, the first person he has to cross is not other people, but these two vassal kings who are many times more powerful than him!
Then, he would confront him.
Finally, it’s Lao Zhu!
Therefore, Zhu Yunxuan had made a foolproof plan early on, and there was no need to worry at all.
What he is really worried about now is whether King Qi can distribute money to the small and medium-sized landowners as he expected.
Incidentally, some ordinary farmers have become the middle class.
Let some of the people of Ming Dynasty get rich first.
Although this method has been criticized by many people in later generations, it really wants to achieve rapid economic development.
Apart from this method, there is really no other way.
The accumulation of wealth has always been bloody and cruel!
The distribution of resources can never be fair!
Zhu Yunxuan knew that redeeming land through this method might make some people very wealthy, and thus have excess capital to start embezzling more land!
This is almost equivalent to taking the pace of the Ming Dynasty's subjugation forward for hundreds of years!
After all, a large part of the reason for the collapse of ancient dynasties came from the unfair distribution of land and annexation and squeeze.
If left unchecked, the Ming Dynasty would not be far away from being destroyed.
But the reason why Zhu Yunzhen dared to do this, in the final analysis, still comes from his vision that is far beyond the current world.
The embezzlement of land by aristocratic families cannot be solved in an agricultural society.
But in an industrial society, it seems so insignificant. Instead, it frees more labor from the fields, which in turn contributes to urbanization and industrialization!
Zhu Yunxuan took the opportunity to redeem the land and spread money to various big families.
The real plan is to turn these people into capitalists!
Although the word "capital" comes into the world, it reveals evil and blood, and no part of the body is clean.
And capitalists are demons that can’t be overstated even if they hang on street lamps.
But in everything, I am afraid of comparison...
Compared with the ancient landowning class and the powerful nobles, it is simply too high!
At least, in the eyes of capitalists, everyone has value.
It is not like a big landowner or a big noble who regards the lives of servants and servants as nothing.
Eat people without spitting out bones!
Capitalists will only squeeze out the last bit of value from you and then give you up.
In comparison, it is much milder.
It is a sign of the progress of the times.
Moreover, workers' rights can be fought for step by step in the future, but servants and servant farmers don't even have a chance to fight for it!
Secular habits cannot be changed!
Will people who have been used to doing whatever they want for thousands of years change because of an order from Zhu Yunzhen?
Only the general environment has changed.
Times have changed.
Talents will change accordingly!
Therefore, Zhu Yunxuan took advantage of these opportunities to redeem land to spread money to those already wealthy aristocratic families, and in the future he planned to unify the land tax across the country.
Remove Lao Zhu’s original suppression of the Suzhou area.
Let these people become truly rich and have more idle resources that can be used for investment.
Open factories, hire labor, and invest in urbanization and industrialization.
This road is not easy.
It is even more inevitable that it will be stained with the blood of the people of Ming Dynasty.
But this is also a step that must be taken!
Zhu Yunzhen had no other choice...the only thing he could do was to direct the bloody cruelty of capital accumulation toward the outside as much as possible.
Learn from the Western powers in history.
Loot the resources of the entire world to complete the accumulation of primitive capital!
Instead of oppressing and exploiting the people within the Ming Dynasty and making them pay their blood and sweat to build the Ming Dynasty.
Overseas is the way out for Ming Dynasty after all!
Asan, located in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty and facing each other across the mountains, is rich in various spices.
Located in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese country is only blocked by a small piece of ocean. There are open-pit mines on the island that produce a lot of silver and gold, and there are countless them here!
And mining is extremely convenient!
The desert located directly north of the Ming Dynasty has endless herds of cattle, sheep and horses.
Cattle and sheep can be slaughtered for meat, and horses can be used to carry goods.
And in that distant desert continent, there are countless black uncles...
However, Zhu Yunzhen had no interest in catching Uncle Hei as a laborer. If he wanted to catch him, he had to catch Uncle Bai from the north!
Let them have a taste of what it's like to be a free labor force!
Can it be regarded as repaying the blood debt they should have repaid?
It's a pity that the distance is too far, and the current Ming Dynasty is beyond its reach and can only focus on the nearest target in front of it.
Zhu Yunzhen has not forgotten the previous assassination of the two brothers Luqian Inukai and Luqian Zhuyang.
In addition, Japanese pirates invaded the territory of Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yunzhen will always remember this grudge!
Zhu Yunxun's first target was naturally the Japanese country.
Fortunately, news came back from Zheng He not long ago.
Everything was going smoothly on his side, and considerable results had been achieved. He invited Zhu Yunxuan to go to Songjiang Mansion for a visit.
It's just that Zhu Yunzhen has been unable to take away time.
After being busy with the Spring Festival, they were busy with the return of the feudal lord to the capital, and then they were even more busy with the construction of national highways.
Never be idle.
But now, various things have finally been arranged.
There may be some time to spare next time to go to Songjiang Mansion.
Let's see if Zheng He lives up to his expectations.
And how far is it from the navy that he imagined could go to Japan?
Today, the Japanese country is still divided into pieces, with various lords dividing their territories to rule, and there are endless disputes.
These are troubled times.
With the latest weapons at hand, as well as strong and huge ships, it should not be a problem to deal with the mere Japanese country?
If it can be done, it will only be the silver brought back from Japan.
It’s enough for Daming’s daily consumption!
You can even use this money as a reserve to continue to issue more banknotes! Continue to issue government bonds!
Another larger-scale construction begins in Daming!
And it can also invest more money into the technology research and manufacturing bureau to develop more technologies that transcend the times!
Figured it out here.
Zhu Yunxu sent someone to find Xu Miaojin and planned to ask her to go with him to inspect the situation in Songjiang Mansion.
On the one hand, he asked Xu Miaojin to help him with his advice.
During the last rebellion in the capital, Xu Miaojin's wisdom was not simple and could be relied upon.
On the other hand, it is also because Xu Miaojin is the director of the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau. If Zheng He has anything missing or finds it inconvenient.
It would be better for Xu Miaojin to step up manufacturing or research and development after returning.
So as to solve Zheng He's difficulties in going to sea.
After hearing the news, Xu Miaojin quickly packed her bags and came to the palace.
Prepare to go to Songjiang Mansion with Zhu Yunxu.
And just when Zhu Yunzhen and Xu Miaojin were preparing to inspect Songjiang Mansion.
Around Yingtian Mansion, an uproar... is rising!
The news of building national highways and redeeming fields has spread throughout all the townships and counties in Yingtian Prefecture. Now almost every household knows that Taisun wants to build national highways!
The occupied fields will be compensated!
Moreover, this compensation is several times higher than the market price of land!
Now, every household in Yingtian Mansion is looking forward to having their fields occupied!
Have better luck!
But ordinary people can't do anything about it, but those wealthy families and powerful lords are different!
In their own way, they are influencing the decisions of the higher-ups...
A new storm is unfolding silently in Yingtian Mansion...
And at this time.
Zhu Yunxuan and Xu Miaojin are making intensive preparations to go to Songjiang Mansion.
He wanted to see the magical city that he had high hopes for.
What is the construction like?
Can you carry the thoughts in your heart?
