How to have both fish and bear's paws, how to make the people in Songjiang and even Jiangnan willing to grow food, so that Jiangnan can become a stable grain-producing area, alleviate the grain shortage in other provinces, and survive the most difficult period of the country. However, it does not over-hit the industry and commerce, avoid "focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce", and make China re-enter the old path of suppressing commercial development, which has become a problem that Zhou Shixiang urgently needs to solve.

At present, it is important to solve the problem of food, but if you "get rid of food due to choking" and completely ignore the rationality and necessity of business existence and suppress the Jiangnan textile industry, which has already been in the bud, will inevitably lead to new problems in the future. After all, food can solve food and clothing, but it cannot make people rich. After having no worries about food and clothing, people will naturally want more material enjoyment, including daily use, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, clothes, shoes, chicken, duck, fish and meat, etc., all of which are commercial operations.

After too much food, the grain industry will be produced, making the Chinese people more and more abundant food. These are all the credits of commerce. Therefore, the prerequisite for solving one problem is that you cannot have another problem. While getting food, business must also develop accordingly. The textile industry is a kind of business and the main business model of the current era. Its ultimate development can be said to have changed the times and changed the whole world. Therefore, it is impossible for Zhou Shixiang to stop it with a slap in his head, which will lead to more social problems, and even large-scale civil chaos, so that he lags behind the West step by step.

However, Zhou Shixiang is not a god after all, and he was just an ordinary soldier in his previous life. He was good at fighting and fighting, and when it comes to economic and livelihood, he had nowhere to do it. Of course, living people would not be suffocated to death by peeing. Zhou Shixiang himself could not think of a solution, but he had people under him. As long as he was not ashamed to ask, he could always get a solution.

Jiang Guozhu, Zhang Changgeng from Suzhou, Wang Shirong from Songjiang and others received questions and answers from the Qi Palace. Soon, various answers flew to Zhou Shixiang like snowflakes. Among them, the solution proposed by Wang Shirong made Zhou Shixiang lit up.

Wang Shirong proposed to imitate Kaizhong.

The so-called Kaizhongfa actually refers to the salt induced system. This is a system adopted after the founding of the Ming Dynasty to encourage merchants to transport grain to the border. Kaizhongfa requires that one to five stones of grain can be exchanged for one small (200 kilograms) of salt induced from the government according to the mileage. The specific implementation is divided into three steps: reporting, guarding the branch, and the city. According to the requirements of the government list, the salt merchant transports the grain to the designated border granary and then exchanges salt induced from the frontier guards. After the guarding branch is exchanged for salt induced from the salt induced from the salt induced from the designated salt field, the salt induced from the designated salt ward to wait for the salt induced from the designated area.

However, because the long-distance grain transportation cost was really huge, in order to reduce expenses, merchants hired people from all sides to cultivate fields, specializing in producing grain, and then entered the warehouse on site to exchange for salt turf. This form of military farming was run by merchants, so it was also called Shangtun. In the early Ming Dynasty, Shangtun went east to Liaodong, north to Xuanda, west to Gansu, south to Jiaokou, and everywhere. Its prosperity had a certain effect on the reserve of food for border defense troops and the development of border areas. According to the needs of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to using grain and rice for salt turf, sometimes cloth, silk, silver, horses, etc. can be exchanged, but grain exchanged is the main form.

To put it bluntly, Wang Shirong's method is to introduce China and France to the textile industry. He suggested that the current looms of prefectures and counties should be counted. Any individual or merchant with more than five units must give a certain amount of grain to the government every year, so that the government can give them a business license. Under the licensing system, small workshops and farmers may not pay too much grain, but the grain that the big workshop owners and merchants have to pay is scary. If they want to continue to make huge profits from the textile industry, they must convert part of the land they have in their hands into grain fields, just like those salt merchants in the early Ming Dynasty, and specialize in producing grain in exchange for licenses that they can produce textiles.

While Wang Shirong proposed the method, he also pointed out the disadvantages of this method. That is, the textile industry is profitable after all, especially the profits overseas are astonishing. Although it was able to maintain the norm in the early stage, over time, it is inevitable that people will see profitable and use their power to challenge salt and turn it to merchants to make profits. It was precisely because of a large number of royal relatives and officials and eunuchs who asked for salt and "occupy the nest" that the Kaizhong system was destroyed, which not only affected the fiscal revenue of the court, but also affected the storage of military rations on the frontier.

Although the "personality" mentioned by Wang Shirong did not directly point out, Zhou Shixiang knew who he was talking about, and undoubtedly was a powerful person. And who now has power and power, the answer is obvious, it must be his Taiping Army. However, this worry is at least not the problem that Zhou Shixiang needs to solve at the moment. He knew his subordinates very well. When he took the people from Daqiao Mountain down the mountain, he did not use any national justice, to resolve the people from the fire, nor was it a revenge, but a simple sentence to be a high-ranking official and make a fortune. If you want to make a fortune, you have to be an official by yourself.

There will definitely be those who are enlightened, but if Zhou Shixiang really wants to count it himself, he is afraid that he will not be able to list five of them. A group of guys who follow him just to get promoted and make money can expect them to not be jealous of money when they see money? In order to be a hero of the dragon, Jiang Tuzi dared to attack and kill the Tang King halfway, and even connected with a group of people to put on his yellow robe. Let me ask, what else do you dare to do if you dare to do such things?

Zhou Shixiang was afraid of such things, but he was not worried about such things happening because he believed in himself and his subordinates.

Zhou Shixiang believed that he would point out a more "money" path to his subordinates, and he also believed that his subordinates' greedy appetite would never decrease with success.

What industry in this world is the most profitable and robbery!

Except for the Ming Dynasty, the whole world was filled with fat sheep.

As long as he has a desire for money and still has a greed appetite, Zhou Shixiang dares to conclude that these small profits in Jiangnan will never let his subordinates stop moving forward.
