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.
At least 70% of the people believed that this harsh military law maintained their victory, maintained their reputation of being invincible, and helped them survive.
Under such circumstances, executing those who violate military law will not trigger a widespread backlash.
The dignitaries of the Eight Banners will not discuss the wrongness of military law in private.
The Great Khan was able to rely on justice and military law to deal with those who had the same interests.
If the external environment is relaxed, some people will hate the harshness of military law.
Just like the Eight Banners quickly fell after the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass, because they found that they had no opponents and could enjoy themselves with peace of mind.
If you want to use harsh military law at this time, no one will listen to you, and will secretly oppose and resist you. Even if you are a prostrate, what can you do?
The later Emperor Jiaqing was assassinated twice in his own palace, once by a cook, and once by Tianli attacking the palace. The ministers just watched and did nothing.
Didn’t Jiaqing want to use harsh military laws?
It's useless. The most he can do is behead the relevant people and those who have committed the greatest crime, which he cannot even do if he involves the nine clans.
"Great Khan, your will is very good, but we are still short of food. Now we can plant an acre of land, but we can't get the seeds back. What's the use of so many coatings on us?" Sanbeile said directly.
"Oh, what Sanbeile said is very good. I once ordered Shanxi merchants to search for fine seeds from the Ming Dynasty for me, and I got two kinds of gods, one is sweet potato and the other is corn. They can adapt to drought and can produce one stone of grain per acre.
When it comes to two stones, the key is to produce something even if there is a drought.”
"I am now ordering each of the Eight Banners to select ten villages to plant two crops. I will allocate grain from the public to these villages."
"In addition, this is the "Agricultural Book" written by a great Confucian scholar named Xu Guangqi in the Ming Dynasty. Now we are recruiting more Han scholars to specialize in interpretation and promote agricultural production."
"In this way, the Han people can grow more food. The more Han people we have, the more food we have. More food, more armor, more firearms, and the more powerful our Eight Banners will be."
"The Ming Dynasty can only dispatch 150,000 troops at a time, but military discipline is corrupt. As long as we dispatch 70,000 troops, they are no match for us. When we can dispatch 200,000 troops, it will be the end of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Long live the Great Khan!"
"Destroy the Ming, destroy the Ming!"
A group of little Beile, Beizi, Gushan Ezhen were all inspired by the prospects described by the Great Khan.
Yes, as long as more grain is produced, each family will be able to feed themselves more, create more wealth, and the stronger their military strength will be.
Anyway, there is plenty of land in Liaodong, and at least tens of millions of acres of land can be cultivated. It could not be cultivated before, mainly because the grain output was low and the temperature was cold. If you grow grain, you will lose money.
Therefore, there is no profit motive to support the coats, they are just robbed and used as slaves.
The stronger the troops, the more wrappings can be snatched.
As Huang Taiji clapped his hands, the two eunuchs took out two plates.
Okay, Donglu has learned to grow high-yielding crops.
However, high-yielding crops still need to improve varieties and find ways to grow them.
The yield was not high at the beginning. Otherwise, if it were to be the same as that of later generations, the local officials would not be crazy.
If the officials don't plant it, and the local big business owners are not stupid, they will definitely rush in and force the tenant farmers to plant these crops.
When Wen Rensheng saw this, he immediately understood that the difficulty was increasing dramatically.
Huang Taiji in history did not have such a method, but he improved the strategic situation of the Jin Kingdom.
By pacifying the DPRK and forcing the vassals to pay tribute; and by occupying the eastern Mongolia, they could avoid the heavily guarded and costly Shanhaiguan Pass and enter by a detour through the Mongolian border wall.
From then on, everything in Mingbian was completely over.
The fort that took more than ten years and 4 to 7 million taels to build is meaningless.
The Manchu Qing changed the country's name and entered once every two years. After digestion, they invaded again. Relying on the flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty, they survived the famine, fed the Eight Banners, and became stronger and stronger.
This is the biggest problem with fortress tactics: you can't beat your opponent in the field. Your opponent has the initiative and can kill you by just taking a detour.
Huang Taiji then said to everyone: "Very good, I am very happy today. Everyone is wise and knows that we are under great pressure at the moment. There is the Eastern Dynasty in the east, the Mongols in the west, and the Ming Dynasty in the south."
"We must bite the bullet and wait until next year to plunder the Ming Dynasty and seize more officials, especially the scholars, not the candidates and the Jinshi."
"Does everyone understand?"
"Yes, Khan." Everyone was convinced.
Da Beile took a look and suddenly said: "The Great Khan is far more wise than the Ming Emperor of the Southern Dynasties, but the Ming Emperor can sit alone in the south. How can we offend him?"
With that said, he got down directly from the chair where the four of them were sitting.
Then he knelt down directly and kowtowed to Huang Taiji.
"Second brother, how can this be done? Please get up quickly." Huang Taiji showed joy and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up. "We brothers are of the same mind. How can we compare with the internal strife in the Southern Dynasty?"
At this time, Second Beile and Third Beile also quickly got down from their chairs and knelt down somewhat reluctantly.
But Big Beile and their second brother have all knelt down. If they were still on top, they would only arouse the dissatisfaction of the powerful people.
What's more, Huang Taiji has won over the Eight Banners dignitaries, large and small, with his excellent seeds and prospects for the future, as well as his usual win-overs, and has become powerful.
They had to come down too.
Seeing this, Wen Rensheng had to sigh.
This player really combines Huang Taiji's previous personality and abilities, and then adds his own abilities.
In this way, the opponent's power growth in one year will far exceed one's own.
After all, the other party has a military group of 200,000 people.
He only has 10,000 people now, and his centripetal force is far not as strong as his opponent's.
But its own advantage is that it relies on the red-haired people to have overseas trade.
The huge profits from sea trade are worthy of a battle.
Wen Rensheng then decided to establish a secret organization.
"Now that I have set up a sticky pole, if there is any noise, please help me get rid of it." Wen Rensheng found fifteen adopted sons and said to them.
"Yes, foster father!" Fifteen people said in unison.
No one dared to object.
If you oppose it, you will die and lose everything you have.
Their greatest ambition at this time is just to get ahead, get promoted to a higher position.
"Very good, I will set up three locations: Xun Sheng, Sticking Sticks, and Deep Fried. I will give them to three of you respectively. Each of you will have four people, and then allocate 100 servants to each location. All expenses will be kept in the account."
Wen Rensheng said.
"Yes, foster father." Everyone said in unison.
Wen Rensheng then gave them a copy of "Yongjian" written by the ancients for them to study.
This is what ancient people had long ago.
How to bribe craftsmen, spy on rival movements, bribe buyers, buy women who can travel around the streets, and know what is going on in the front yard from the backyard...
For all these reasons, Wen Rensheng ordered them to practice first.
The more you practice, the more you can use it.
The target of the training was naturally this city at the beginning. If something happened, he would have enough influence to intimidate the county magistrate and let him release those people.
