Chapter 185 Salary Raising Plan, Shanshan and Shaanxi Pilot Project

In the Wenhua Hall, ministers from the Military Department came to pay homage to Emperor Tianqi.

As if he had just escaped from carpentry work, Emperor Tianqi had just changed into a black uniform with a dragon pattern and gilding, and he looked quite majestic.

"Your Majesty, this is the information just handed over by the Military Department," Wei Zhongxian, as the Chief of Ceremonies of the Inner Palace, does not have to follow the emperor every day. However, because the war in Liaodong is about to begin, the Governor of the Inner Palace is always on call.

In case Emperor Tianqi has any urgent needs.

"Lending money from the private sector to obtain silk from merchants as payment for the Liaodong war."

Zhu Youxiao put down the tea bowl, wiped his hands, and then reached out to take the fold.

"Several adults are already waiting outside the palace," Wei Zhongxian reminded softly.

"Please come in," Zhu Youxiao lowered his head and looked at the content on the brochure.

Not long after, several courtiers headed by Wang Qi stepped into the palace.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"Give me a seat," Zhu Youxiao still lowered his head and said while looking at it: "Everyone, please sit down."

Wang Qi and others sat down safely, waiting for the emperor's inquiry.

Wei Zhongxian nodded, then frowned for a while and asked: "This method is feasible, and I can understand it. How does Aiqing plan to implement it in detail? The longer the Liao affair is, the more time it takes for you to wait."

Xu Guangqi and others were immersed in Wang Qi's story, and they were all stunned when they were suddenly asked.

"But in fact," Wang Qi shook his head: "In the seventh year, Ye Xianggao went from a wealthy businessman to extremely poor. His family only had one acre of land, and the factory and looms were repossessed due to loans. He was impoverished and his family's

Decline."

Yu Shi's remarks made everyone in the hall silent, as if they were all digesting and thinking about that paragraph.

"Your Majesty, there is no case where I can clear up your Majesty's doubts," Wang Qi bowed and walked down the center of the small hall, obviously unprepared.

Taking Liaodong as a pilot and conducting experiments first is a feasible method.

Lu Yu subconsciously said: "Business is booming again in the seventh year?"

In the palace, the ministers listened quietly, wondering what Emperor Tianqi found so strange.

"If the imperial court encourages merchants to accept silk, it will indirectly lower the status of merchants. This ceremony will cause the people to focus on production, and all pursue the methods of running shops, buying and selling, and opportunistically. When the country's foundation is shaken, how can it be abandoning the foundation and chasing the weak?

?" Wei Zhongxian smacked his lips: "I'm worried that this method will last long."

But will the actual development be so smooth?

"I have no objection to private lending. Although the whole world is not the land of the king, I also understand it," Wei Zhongxian said with helplessness in his eyes: "Everything in the sky is for profit."

"I will set off tomorrow and make a trip to Shanxi. I will go there to raise funds for the Liao affair and share your Majesty's worries!" Sun Chengzong bowed to Emperor Tianqi who was sitting on the throne, and he wanted to do something.

"Please speak frankly, my dear," Wei Zhongxian nodded.

And Wang Qi stood in front of Sun Chengzong, with a smile on his face.

As for Xu Guangqi and Lu Yu, they support Wang Qi's strategy, but they are still a little worried about whether this method can get the emperor's approval.

"In the early years of your reign, there was no one named Xu Yikui. I wrote a book called "Shifeng Manuscript", in which there was an article "Weavers' Pair", which tells the story of the small handicraft industry in Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

A textile factory consists of several houses and several looms. The workers are all hired workers. The boss provides the house, machines, and raw materials, and the workers provide the labor force. There is not a single family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang whose owner is named

Seeing the prosperous textile industry in Hangzhou, Yu Shiqi pawned his family's land, purchased factories and machines, hired workers to produce fabrics, and when he was about to start business, business was booming, and his family quickly became poor within a year. Yu Shiqi fell into poverty in the seventh year

At that time, he decided to expand production, sold all his family's farmland, added eight factories, and borrowed money to purchase 80 looms..."

According to Wang Qi's theory, it does not make sense to open up maritime bans and trade with seven parties.

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty," Wang Qi stood up and bowed, with clear eyes, whether he was humble or arrogant.

"But, that has nothing to do with opening up the maritime trade ban and encouraging merchants to buy silk?" Yu Shiqi still understood too well.

"I must have betrayed my trust!" Sun Chengzong bowed and accepted the order.

"It stands to reason that the demand for weaving is very small every year," Zhu Youxiao also nodded in agreement.

Emperor Tianqi had the same doubts as Yu Shiqi, but his reply to Zhu Youxiao was definitely for Wei Zhongxian. After all, the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers must still be observed.

"If your Majesty has no concerns, the opening of the Liaodong market cannot be used as a pilot project to connect Horqin, Liaodong, North Korea, and Japan to see the effect," Wang Qi said again.

Fan Zhonghui, a Shanxi merchant, has not contacted Sun Chuanting. After being brokered by the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi, they have not yet cooperated in a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Shanshan rebellious people.

"Bad, within a month, I will receive the memorial raised by Liao's salary!"

Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong looked nervous. It was obvious that they were still hesitant about Wang Qi's method of "private lending" to obtain salary.

"If we open up the market by opening up Shikaka Shoji, the goods produced by the Orito factory cannot be completely consumed by the market. In this way, supply and demand will be balanced, forming a closed loop, the market will expand, and production will continue, and the demand for silk will increase.

Then farmers’ production can develop, and the entire market will be

It has been replenished and developed...The population cannot continue to increase, the market continues to develop, everyone is employed in production, and the country can become more stable." Yu Shi looked back at Xu Guangqi and added: "Even if there is no Liao Dynasty,

, then opening up the market is also an inevitable choice.”

But Wang Qi, the old god, was sitting there, watching his ears, nose and heart, waiting for Emperor Tianqi to speak.

"Because the market is going to be saturated, it will consume so little fabric, support so few merchants, and require so few acres of silkworm land." Yu Shi said a rare term, which made everyone stunned.

"Xu Aiqing, is he going to Shanshan?" Wei Zhongxian turned to look at Sun Chengzong, his eyes full of earnestness.

Everyone in the hall listened attentively, even Jiao Qiliang pricked up his ears, wanting to hear Yu Shi's humble opinion.

Wang Qi's plan was to let merchants from Shanxi, Shaanxi and Shanxi take the lead and retreat into Liaodong, so as to attract merchants from Jiangnan... Yu Shi also wanted to delay contacting Fan Zhongtui, and Fan Zhongtui himself had no idea about this.

Things are also quite painstaking.

"I recommend Sun Cheng, the Minister of Household Affairs, to take charge of this matter. I also recommend Sun Chuanting, the magistrate of Puzhou County in Shanxi Province, as a pilot area to allow local merchants to raise funds and pay for Liao affairs!"

"Lang Guogong," Yu Shiqi finally raised his head and looked at Yu Shi: "I have no doubts about that method."

Under the throne, Wei Zhongxian read it several times, but felt that there was nothing strange about that method.

"Why is that?" Wei Zhongxian said loudly.

Market saturation...Those seven words are quite appropriate.

I can’t understand it until I chew it carefully.
