Chapter 222: Money-making weapon
An Bangyan was a famous dog skin plaster in the late Ming Dynasty. The rebellion began in the second year of Tianqi, and it was not completely wiped out until the second year of Chongzhen. ◇◇↓.◇↓小◇↓小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小
During this period, he repeatedly fought with the Ming army, using various mountains and dense forests, which were like dog skin plasters, and he had to tear them off and she had to peel off the skin.&1t;/p>
Zhu Youxiao did not know this person, but after the She Chongming rebellion, he had been wary of the rebellion of the southwest chieftains, so he dispatched a garrison mixed brigade to Sichuan. You must know that in addition to a garrison mixed brigade in Sichuan at this time, Qin Liangyu was ordered to guard.&1t;/p>
Qin Liangyu was the general of Sichuan at this time. His Baigan soldier still enjoyed 10,000 yuan of military expenditure allocated by the treasury in the second year of Tianqi. His military strength had been expanded to 30,000 yuan, and his weapons and equipment were extremely well-equipped.&1t;/p>
Zhu Youxiao's order to enter the suppression was quickly out, and it took 800 miles to speed up. It was delivered to Sichuan seven days later. After receiving the order, Zhu Xieyuan immediately ordered Qin Liangyu to lead the troops to Guiyang. At the same time, he arranged for food and grass along the way. In addition to issuing the order to enter the suppression, Zhu Youxiao also sent military funds for combat three days later.&1t;/p>
A total of 2 million combat costs were ordered to purchase combat materials at market prices, so as to ensure the supply of military funds, and strictly prohibit private slaughtering the people.&1t;/p>
You should know that the logistics support of the government troops in the late Ming Dynasty was so bad that the government troops mutiny in the middle of the journey.&1t;/p>
Those official troops that did not mutiny usually robbed the common people, which was called "thieves pass like combs, soldiers pass like shaved". When Yang Sichang's four commanders and ten sides of the net were launched, Li Zicheng even shouted the slogan of "suppressing troops and calming the people", which was then welcomed by the people.&1t;/p>
The chaotic soldiers have always been a disaster.&1t;/p>
Zhu Youxiao took this into consideration. So he went to the imperial edict and immediately allocated 2 million yuan of silver notes to Sichuan. Sichuan naturally also had a money house system. By the end of the first year of Tianqi, most of the money houses in the country formed a cooperative relationship with the Royal Bank and formed a capital flow network.&1t;/p>
The imperial edict was issued and the combat funds were sent out. Zhu Youxiao was still not relieved, so he immediately sent another official to Guizhou with one million yuan to provide disaster relief.&1t;/p>
This time the chieftains rebelled, the people will inevitably suffer a lot. Reliefs must be kept up.&1t;/p>
After some dispatch, Zhu Youxiao no longer struggled with the rebellion of Guizhou chieftains and did not worry too much about the war situation in Guizhou.&1t;/p>
As an emperor, I have done everything I should do.&1t;/p>
The commander has arranged the troops, the money has been sent, and the disaster relief has been arranged. What will happen next is the following thing.&1t;/p>
Although the year ended with the troubles of Anbangyan's rebellion, the year still needs to be passed.&1t;/p>
Zhu Youxiao set up a siege before the New Year and inspected the Royal Military Factory. At this time, the Royal Military Factory had expanded a lot.&1t;/p>
In addition to manufacturing military equipment, military factories also produce civilian products. After all, military orders are not available at all times. There are many craftsmen.&1t;/p>
So when these craftsmen have no military orders, they arrange to produce various civilian products.&1t;/p>
Heavy carriages are the flagship products of military factories today. Beizhili had a great demand for heavy carriages due to the development of commodity economy and the construction of roads. At this time, only the Royal Military Factory could manufacture these sturdy and durable heavy carriages.&1t;/p>
A large number of horses traded from Mongolia and Tibet also provided the basis for the transportation on the exhibition 6. At this time, Northern Zhili had cars, horses, and roads.&1t;/p>
At the same time, the machinery manufacturing factory under the Royal Military Factory also made a large pendulum clock. This is a very popular Western product in the Ming Dynasty. It was not manufactured in the Ming Dynasty before. However, after researching it, it was successfully copied very easily.&1t;/p>
The mechanical devices of this age are not as precise as later generations, so it is naturally very simple to catch up. Moreover, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty did not know how to make precisely. Those gold and silver jewelry are simply ingenious, but they are not precise enough?&1t;/p>
But this era does not require sophistication, so it seems that there is no exhibition, but it is very simple to catch up with the Europeans in this era.&1t;/p>
The precision manufacturing industry of Westerners obviously started in this era and was passed down for hundreds of years before China could catch up with it. After all, how precise manufacturing can be precise can still be achieved by artificial in the early 21st century.&1t;/p>
The large pendulum clocks made in the Ming Dynasty not only have Arabic numerals, but also have the twelve earthly branches "Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Wei Shen You Xu Hai" engraved on them. There are corresponding twelve zodiac patterns on the sides, which look lifelike. Such large pendulum clocks are obviously more in line with local culture and are divided into various levels. Once launched, they are immediately purchased by the rich.&1t;/p>
After all, the pendulum clocks exported by Europeans to the Ming Dynasty were relatively expensive goods, while the pendulum clocks manufactured by the Royal Machinery Manufacturing Factory were nearly half cheaper, and they were more in line with local aesthetics in art. These days, the Ming people were relatively confident and did not have any concept of advocating foreign countries. Localization is more popular.&1t;/p>
Of course, it also launched a scary and high-priced limited edition, which was used to install the rich and wealthy businessmen and powerful people with a lot of money. A large pendulum clock costs 10,000 yuan. Someone has customized more than a dozen units, and it immediately became another powerful tool for making money.&1t;/p>
Those rich families are not stupid. They mainly value "limited quantity". Although the price of fitting glasses before has plummeted, those fitting glasses that cost 100,000 taels are still priced strongly now.&1t;/p>
After all, the price of something that is 100,000 is not a fool in art. From the material to the workmanship, to the artistic decoration on it, it is all excellent. If you keep it in your hands, it will become an antique in the future and even appreciate in value.&1t;/p>
The same is true for these large pendulum clocks. They are so valuable that they are naturally not worthy of using materials and workmanship. The workmanship is gorgeous and they are simply striving for excellence.&1t;/p>
However, there is obviously a royal capital that secretly promotes the news that these things will appreciate, just like the Dutch hype of tulips in this era. The Dutch can blow tulip seeds into valuable things, let alone the limited edition mirrors and pendulum clocks that can see the real thing.&1t;/p>
What Western capitalists are best at is to collect all the works of an unknown painter, and then start to manipulate public opinion to promote these works of the painter. Three people become tigers and become gods. Then they hype up paintings that are worthless to the level of hundreds of millions of dollars in later generations.&1t;/p>
This model is obviously not easy to operate. After all, the artworks in the Ming Dynasty have real materials. Whether it is valuable depends on the market, secondly, it must be good, and thirdly, it depends on the collector's preferences.&1t;/p>
Royal Capital also became the largest antique dealer in Northern Zhili at this time. After copying so many mansions, it naturally obtained a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings.&1t;/p>
Royal Capital promotes exquisitely crafted mirrors and pendulum clocks into things that can become antiques in the future. It is indeed not a scam. Even the most ordinary pendulum clocks can be used as antiques for hundreds of years. It is just to let everyone know that after they have this consciousness, they will naturally be sold.&1t;/p>
So those wealthy families have a large amount of cash in their hands, so they naturally might as well buy it back. This novel thing can be used to show off and be undepreciated in the future. (To be continued...)&1t;/p>
ps: The second update is here, today is only 5,000 words. The weather has cooled down recently, and people are very accustomed to it. Sorry!&1t;/p>&1t;/p>
