Chapter 2113 Sticky Rods and Farming Books(1/2)
Wen Ren was promoted to Bingbei Dao. This was his own official position, which was very different from being relied on by others before.
So this means that his industry can expand again.
After all, it is impossible for others to settle too many things for you, only you can settle too many things for yourself.
Ordinary dignitaries and relatives mainly focus on pleasure every day, and they will not spend time on such a painful, tiring and troublesome business as business.
They don't even do reading, let alone this kind of thing?
They will only do one thing, and that is to sit back and enjoy the results.
If anything is difficult, their first reaction is to refuse and resist.
Even Zheng Zhilong, after dominating the eastern ocean, lost his enterprising spirit and became a guard dog.
There are still few heroes like Cao Cao and Liu Bei who earn and fight for a lifetime.
This time Wen Rensheng began to intervene in maritime trade.
The way to intervene is to prepare a hundred loads of raw silk. One load can make a profit of one hundred taels. We will receive 90 taels from the silk farmers and sell it to the merchants for 180 taels. The merchants will then sell it to the island country for 340 taels.
That's certainly top-notch.
This is an extra ten thousand taels of profit.
Before Wen Ren was promoted to general, the soldiers who had shown loyalty and bravery in the battle directly used the decadent feudal method of winning over, giving money, land, and wives... to win them over to his express shipping company to serve as sailors and bodyguards.
This is actually the servant.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were enthusiastic about this.
Most people who want to be servants have no way of doing it.
You have to change your surname, recognize your godfather, and fulfill your feudal obligations of loyalty and filial piety.
This is the main road for promotion in the military. Other roads are too narrow and are not the mainstream. They are exceptions.
For example, being recognized for your bravery in battle, and making great achievements in front of everyone: entering the city first, beheading the generals and seizing the flag, and escaping with the guard general...
These credits are not easily taken away.
You can imagine how difficult it is.
Wen Rensheng collected 81 yuan in one breath.
All changed their surname to Li.
Is this a taboo thing?
Of course it's taboo, but it's the late Ming Dynasty and officials have long been accustomed to it.
The business expanded rapidly.
Cooking is very simple, just merge the original business.
From gold and silver shops to grain shops, to cloth, silk, blacksmith shops, carpenter shops, all are merged...
In the city where Li Bingbei Road is located, Lijia Street, two streets, and three streets appeared, and the speed was very fast.
Don't make new cakes, just eat old cakes.
The advantage is that it is safe.
The people promoted by Wenren are loyal and capable people. With the same method and the same process, the work efficiency is 50% better than before, and in some cases it is even several times higher.
Because the original shopkeepers and assistants had too much influence, just like the Xue family and the Jia family in Dream of Red Mansions. Later, they themselves fell down and the servants and shopkeepers rose up.
As long as these guys are killed, the original profits will be greatly increased.
The disadvantage is that officials and dignitaries who were originally filial and respectful are looking for trouble.
This is simple. Wen Rensheng directly took over all the original filial piety and gave it to them.
How many powerful people are willing to offend Bing Beidao?
After all they are just places.
Behind Wen Rende was a senior official in the ministry, and Wang Shilang had already arrived in Beijing.
Of course, going to Beijing these days is courting death, and it is far inferior to being a local official in Jiangnan.
After all, there are still 20 years of happiness left to live.
Entering the capital to become an official means that the Donglu invaders will invade once every two years.
There is no peace of mind every year.
Enjoy it with trepidation.
As for the senior officials in the ministry, they only have deterrence and a good reputation, and their lives are far inferior to those of their colleagues in the southeast.
But at this time, it can at least help Wen Rensheng to intimidate the local dignitaries, vassal kings and eunuchs.
The actual power of the feudal kings was very little.
Emperor Chongzhen seemed worried about the privacy of his relatives, but once the vassal princes showed their desire for power, even if it was to save King Qin, they would immediately turn against him.
Therefore, Wen Rensheng is not afraid of these vassal kings. If they dare to cause trouble, a person who intends to threaten local ministers or conspire against them can be killed directly.
It’s just that everyone doesn’t want to play so hard.
Anyway, Wen Rensheng walked with two hands, relying on power with one hand and military strength with the other. By doing this, he could minimize the resistance of the old system.
On the other hand, he is just a military leader, just like Zuo Liangyu and Li Chengliang.
After doing all this, Wen Rensheng began to check the opponent's progress.
It took him two years to prepare his troops and make an annual profit of 300,000 taels. He was definitely a wealthy man.
It can support 5,000 servants and 400 large and small ships.
After these things are taken away, there will only be 50,000 taels of mobile silver left.
But don't worry, as an official, he still has routine filial piety. As a rule... he can earn 7,000 to 15,000 taels of silver a year.
A fifth-grade civil servant and a military officer, located in the southeast, don't have much money.
After three years of clearing the prefecture, he received one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.
This is not an exaggeration.
His official position and dispatch are much more powerful than those of the prefect.
But now, he wants to take a look at the opponent's strength level.
…………
Liaodong.
Shengjing of the Great Jin Kingdom.
Player A has become the Great Khan.
Yes, Wen Rensheng turned into a profuse sweat at first glance.
They still used the same tricks, relying on their social skills to win over the big Baylor and the third Baylor, intimidate the second Baylor, and then kill the mother of the three brothers Azig, Dorgon, and Duduo to prevent them from forming a joint force.
In the end, everyone at the Eight Banners agreed that he was the most capable of leading Dajin to win the living space under the attack from the three parties of Northern Lu, Eastern Dynasty and Ming Dynasty.
At this time, in the palace of the Great Khan in Shengjing.
"We use the Manchus to control the Han, the masters to control the slaves, the Eight Banners as a clan of armed forces, and the weak and incompetent Nikans as a farming clan, to provide for the armed forces of the Eight Banners who are out of production. In this way, out of our 200,000 Eight Banners, we can produce 70,000
Zhiding, everyone can practice it every day."
The player Huang Taiji sat on the sweat seat where the four of them were and said.
Many little Beile, Beizi, Gushan Ezhen nodded their heads one after another.
The Khan's words deeply touched their hearts.
The old Khan was crazy.
In the end, all the people without grain will be killed.
Anyone who does not have five measures of rice in his home will be killed.
I feel that it is too difficult to support them.
As a result, many people's coats were also killed, and they had to take care of the field affairs themselves, and they couldn't cry out for their hard work.
Because the whole of Daikin is still a slave-military system.
Military law is strict.
The entire Dajin was a slave system headed by the Great Khan, and the slave owners were the Great Khan and his direct descendants.
As for why it could still be maintained under such harsh military laws, it was of course because of the threat from the behemoth Ming Dynasty.
At this time, no one among the Jurchens believed that they could destroy the Ming Dynasty.
At most, he thought that he could achieve the great cause of the former Jin Dynasty, which was to occupy the land north of the Yellow River. At most, he thought that he could divide the Yangtze River and rule it with the Ming Dynasty.
Under such external pressure, they will endure harsh military laws in order to survive.
To be continued...
