But in fact, Zhu Yunxuan was extremely happy.
Three hundred and twenty thousand cattle and sheep!
Although this is not a very huge number, it is tantamount to a powerful shot in the arm for Daming!
In today's critical period of soaring prices.
It injected new vitality into the Ming Dynasty market and allowed prices to temporarily ease.
Give Zhu Yunzhen more time to slowly deal with the problem of excessive issuance of banknotes, which has led to the devaluation of banknotes.
As long as these 320,000 cattle and sheep can survive for a period of time, Zheng He will really fail! Zhu Yunxu also has enough time to resolve the matter!
Whether it was relying on sweet potatoes or going to Japan again.
There is still time!
But... deep down in Zhu Yunxian's heart, he was still hoping that nothing would go wrong during his expedition to Japan.
He has high hopes for the navy!
If this first step cannot be taken, it will inevitably affect the Ming Dynasty's confidence in conquering overseas.
In fact, there is already a hint that something is wrong.
Everyone seems to be less interested in overseas things, and they all feel that the territory of Ming Dynasty is good enough.
There is no need to develop overseas.
Instead, they all focused on Bei Yuan, a serious enemy.
Although Lan Yu, Xu Huizu and others were acting just now, they were actually speaking the truth.
It doesn’t look like fraud at all!
They really hope that Zhu Yunxuan will shift the blame from overseas and put it on Beiyuan or Annan!
It's just that their arms can't hold their thighs and Zhu Yunzhen doesn't agree, so they can't do anything.
But I definitely still have such thoughts in my heart!
As long as something goes wrong overseas, they will stand up and oppose another overseas expedition.
Zhu Yunxuan couldn't help but worry about all this!
After the morning meeting, the envoy from Beiyuan hurried back to Beiyuan. At the current speed after the construction of the national highway, there should be a reply within half a month.
Whether it succeeds or not, we will know when the time comes.
But this time, the Beiyuan envoy experienced firsthand the convenience of the national highway.
Presumably he would urge Emperor Beiyuan to seek peace.
After all, in this era when transportation is more difficult than anything else, Daming has such a smooth main road.
The advantages are simply too great!
While Zhu Yunzhen was waiting for Bei Yuan's reply and news from Zheng He.
The capital also became more and more lively.
Some prototypes of factories appeared in the outer cities of the capital that were being expanded, and were built along rivers, intending to rely on water power for production.
In an era when steam engines had not yet been developed, using water power was undoubtedly the best way.
Most importantly, with the development of the Bureau of Technical Research and Manufacturing, hydraulic machinery developed significantly.
But compared to the number of landlords and gentry asked at that time, in the end it was still much less.
It can’t be said that the thunder is loud and the raindrops are small, but there is definitely a difference.
At least it didn't achieve the effect Zhu Yunzhen expected.
So Zhu Yunxu hurriedly summoned Xu Miaojin and planned to ask about the situation.
Royal study room.
After Zhu Yunxuan and Xu Miaojin exchanged a few words.
He first asked: "What's going on in the factory? Why were there so many people asking about it at the time, but so few people are actually running the factory now?"
Xu Miaojin was also a little helpless.
He spread his hands and said, "These guys are more timid than the other, and they don't dare to invest all their wealth."
"And the cost for the manufacturing bureau to build a machine production line is too high."
"There's no way to lower the price."
"Coupled with the patent, only some large landowners with a lot of land dared to try it."
"Ordinary landowners and gentry don't have the money at all, or building a factory will cost them all their wealth."
"Don't dare try."
After Zhu Yunzhen heard this, he understood why the factory construction was less than expected!
It turns out it’s because there’s not enough money!
But it is delusional to expect Zhu Yunxuan to send them more money.
Don't even think about reducing the price of equipment. After all, he is still cutting leeks.
There will be no price reduction now, and there will be no price reduction in the future!
However, it is not particularly difficult to solve this problem... Zhu Yunzhen pondered for a while, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously.
"Yes!"
Zhu Yunxu looked happy and said, "Since one landlord doesn't have enough money, wouldn't it be enough if a few more landlords have enough money?"
"So, doesn't the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau you are in charge of have information on these landowners?"
"You go and unite these people, hold a dinner party, let these people get to know each other, and see if they can get together and open a factory together."
"The profits at that time will be divided according to the amount of investment."
But Xu Miaojin looked troubled.
Said: "Actually... I have tried it, but these people don't trust each other."
"Everyone is afraid that when the money is invested, they will be squeezed out. Not only will the investment be wasted, but even the capital will be lost."
"Nobody wants to take any chances."
Xu Miaojin has actually tried this plan a long time ago.
The result is no!
But Zhu Yunzhen did not feel angry that his opinion was rejected, but his face was calm.
This result seems to have been foreseen.
"You don't seem surprised?" Xu Miaojin asked curiously.
Could it be said that Zhu Yunzhen still has no solution?
"That's right."
Zhu Yunxuan really has a solution!
"This matter of mutual distrust can be easily solved. Anyone who jointly runs a factory can register at the government office."
"Set up a company to take control of this factory."
"And this company is controlled entirely according to the amount of capital invested by everyone. If you contribute 30% of the money, you will control 30% of the shares! When it comes to company decisions, if you own 30% of the shares, you will have 30% of the say."
"Whoever has more say will be listened to."
"In this way, it is concise and clear. At the same time, it is endorsed by the government and has shares in the company. There is no need to be afraid."
"In this way, the worries of these landlords and gentry can be solved."
Xu Miaojin's brain was spinning rapidly.
Putting herself in the shoes of a landlord and gentry, if it were her, she would have no worries because of the government's endorsement.
If you add a few apportionments, you won't occupy all your property at once.
She really would choose to take a chance!
Because the products produced in the factory are so attractive!
Absolutely no worries about the market!
It's a sure-fire deal, so why not take a chance?
"good idea!"
"I'll go back and tell everyone the news! Let the landowners who haven't left Beijing quickly open factories!"
"With the official endorsement, they must be extremely happy this time!"
Xu Miaojin also has a resolute and resolute temper.
Just do it.
Without even saying hello, he ran out of the Imperial Study Room and rushed towards the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau.
This made Zhu Yunxuan, who had originally planned to stay with Xu Miaojin for dinner, a little embarrassed.
I can only leave it for next time.
But the Bureau of Technology Research and Manufacturing has her in charge.
Zhu Yunzhen felt very relieved.
Don't worry about anything going wrong and you can focus on other things.
He only needs to throw out one or two ideas occasionally, and Xu Miaojin will help him research these ideas and ideas as much as possible.
Complete technological innovation.
It is precisely because of such a serious and responsible attitude that so many new things emerged in Ming Dynasty.
This will also allow the Ming Dynasty to have no shortage of goods for dumping and plundering food and raw materials in the future!
At this point, Xu Miaojin really deserves to be credited with a great contribution!
