"Listening to your words is better than ten years of reading~"
"I always thought that this tax was collected and collected only for the flesh and blood of us common people. Now I understand. It turns out that it is actually for the benefit of all of us."
"Without a country, there is no home. The Ming Dynasty has become strong and powerful. Only when we are outside can we straighten our backs and do business. No one has to be afraid."
Li Chunyang from Sihai Commercial Bank stood up and said loudly.
"When the Ming Dynasty becomes stronger, we will be able to own more land and more minerals. The wealth from all over the world can be transferred to our Ming Dynasty, and we will naturally be able to follow the rising tide."
"Instead of being like before, staring at one-third of an acre of land at home every day, not having a lot of money, and working very hard. We are tired, and so are the people below."
"It's not like now, when we can easily go overseas to do business and earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in one round trip. With half a factory, we can easily earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a year."
"Even the people at the bottom can immigrate to Nanyang, cultivate dozens of acres of land, and work for people for a few taels a month."
"In the final analysis, Mr. Liu and us are trying to make our Ming Dynasty bigger and stronger. Then naturally, everyone will be able to enjoy the benefits of Ming Dynasty's power."
"Our merchants can do better business and earn more money, and the people below can also have enough food and clothing, and can also live a good life."
"If we want to continue to get rich and live a good life, we must continue to make the Ming Dynasty bigger and stronger. Then the imperial court must have a strong military so that it can expand its territory and protect the sea.
With our strength, we can also build more roads and so on in our Ming Dynasty."
"I used to be dull and didn't understand the master's deep meaning. But today, when I heard it, it suddenly dawned on me. I realized that the master is far-sighted and far-sighted."
"Master Liu, let me toast you!"
After Li Chunyang finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and said to Liu Jin.
"Mr. Li, thank you~ Please!"
Liu Jin smiled and raised his wine glass and replied.
This Li Chunyang can become the owner of Sihai Trading Company. It is really not a simple figure. Liu Jin knows that this Li Chunyang actually has no background. Unlike other people present, he has more or less backers behind him, or he himself is a person.
A big tree.
He is really a businessman. He can make his business bigger and stronger by relying on his own ability. This is his real ability!
Through his words, he also told everyone more simply and clearly why the imperial court collected taxes, because this tax collection was essentially for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty.
In his words, it is to make the plate of Ming Dynasty bigger and stronger. If there is more water in the plate, everyone will naturally be able to follow the rising tide and earn more money.
"Master Liu is far-sighted~"
"I was too short-sighted~"
After listening to Li Chunyang's words, everyone nodded their heads one after another. The truth has been explained so clearly. If you don't understand this yet, then you are deliberately pretending to be confused.
Even Shouning Hou and Jianchang Bo had nothing to say at this time. Thinking about the past, their two brothers worked with Changning Bo Zhou Yu's family for a piece of land.
The matter reached Emperor Hongzhi, who severely criticized him.
If you think about it carefully, we were really poor at that time. We didn't have much money in a year. The poor people could only eat porridge.
How wonderful it is now, many industries are booming, earning tens of millions of taels of silver a year.
As for fields, they are simply not worth mentioning now. They cannot receive a few rents a year, and they still have to bear a bad reputation.
If you want to continue to live a good life in the future, think about it, you have to pay the tax, but if you don't pay the tax, there are pirates in Southeast Asia, and the thieves rob your merchant ships. Any ship is worth more than one hundred thousand taels of silver.
If you lose this business and money, will you really eat gruel every day like before?
Thinking about it, the two brothers couldn't help but tremble. They were really afraid of drinking porridge. Life is good now. There is a lot of money. They can eat and drink as much as they want, and the money is getting more and more.
"So that's it~ That's it~"
"No wonder we couldn't defeat him before. We were only looking out for our own immediate interests, but he has already planned everyone's future interests. We are simply overestimating our capabilities."
Feng Xiang and Zhu Benduan looked at each other, and their whole bodies suddenly became enlightened, and they immediately understood that their previous defeat was not unfair.
The salt industry is in the hands of these salt merchants, who are trying their best to suck the common people away. Relying on salt, they have become rich enough to rival the country.
But essentially, has there been more water in the Daming pond?
No, its water did not increase. It was just that the salt merchants ate more and the common people ate less. In the end, it only aggravated the internal conflicts within the Ming Dynasty.
What Liu Jin did was to increase the water in the pool, bring it in from outside, and steal other people's water into the Daming pool. Once the water arrives, everyone can drink more water, and even the people at the bottom can be better off.
Live life.
This is the difference, the essential difference.
At this moment, the two of them were full of admiration for Liu Jin. Such a person is a great person.
Suddenly, he thought clearly about Liu Jin's long-term layout, and saw everything clearly. There is only one ultimate goal, which is to make the water in the pond of Ming Dynasty bigger and stronger, as Li Chunyang said.
"Master Liu, let me toast you~"
Feng Xiang stood up, picked up the wine glass and said.
"Haha, let's do this, let's all come together~"
"To the glorious future of our Ming Dynasty, and to the glorious future of our descendants of Yan and Huang, cheers!"
Liu Jin smiled, picked up the wine glass, and suggested.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately raised their glasses, with Liu Jin's words echoing in their minds.
"For the glorious future of Ming Dynasty, for the glorious future of our descendants of Yan and Huang~"
"Cheers~"
Everyone raised their glasses one after another. Even Shouninghou and Jianchangbo, two brainless guys, now understood that they also raised their glasses and drank along with everyone.
"The world is very big. The world outside the Ming Dynasty has vast land and endless wealth. As long as we Ming people unite as one, this world will eventually surrender to the feet of us Ming people."
"Now we are just making a little money in Nanyang, Korea and Japan. When our Ming Dynasty's merchant ships can travel around the world, at that time, the wealth of the world will be poured into our Ming Dynasty like a rolling river.
.”
"Now we make millions of taels of silver a year, tens of millions of taels of silver, then in the future, we can earn tens of millions of taels or tens of millions of taels of silver a year."
"Now our Ming Dynasty has two capitals and thirteen provinces, so in the future it is possible that our Ming Dynasty can have two capitals and thirty provinces, three hundred provinces, or three thousand provinces."
"Now we descendants of the Yan and Huang people have 60 million people. In the future, we in the Ming Dynasty can have 60 million people, and 600 million people are possible."
"The earth is very big. If our Ming Dynasty can occupy most of the land on this earth, the sun will not set on our land in the future."
"Our Ming Dynasty will become an empire on which the sun never sets!"
After drinking the wine in the cup, Liu Jin slowly spoke with a very loud voice, describing to everyone present how powerful the Ming Dynasty would be in the future.
The sun never sets on the empire!
"Earn tens of millions of taels of silver a year!"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath.
What is the concept of ten thousand taels of silver?
Just thinking about it, there are mountains of gold and silver in my mind.
Is this possible?
Of course it is possible.
Even the two idiots, the Zhang brothers, can now earn tens of millions of taels of silver a year. Why can't they?
Who can know how much money Liu Jin's many industries made in total this year?
If you just do some casual calculations, the total profit of these industries under Liu Jin's command is probably hundreds of millions of taels of silver a year.
Emperor Hongzhi's internal funds are said to have been exhausted. All the money was deposited in the First Bank of the Ming Dynasty and could not be used up.
If Ming Dynasty continues to grow bigger, it will annex more places in the future.
Australia, the South Asian subcontinent, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, etc. There are still too many places in this world waiting for everyone to discover, and countless wealth waiting for everyone to bring them back.
It is possible to earn tens of millions of taels a year and tens of millions of taels of silver.
The territory of the Ming Dynasty continued to expand, not to mention this.
Even the current Ming Dynasty has a much larger territory than before. In the past, there were two capitals and thirteen provinces. Now, it is not only the grasslands in the north, Liaodong, but also Yinshan County on the Japanese side in the east, Ryukyu and Nanyang in the south.
Provinces, etc.
This year, the imperial court has also formulated a new expansion plan. Going west, it wants to conquer the Western Regions and even open up a land route to Europe. Going east, it wants to develop the Golden Continent, and going south, it wants to occupy Australia.
Once this goal is achieved, the Ming Dynasty's territory will expand several times. As Liu Jin said, thirty or three hundred provinces are possible in the future.
The earth is a big ball that revolves around the sun. As we all know, some places have daytime and some places have night. As long as the earth occupies enough land and is wide enough, the future will truly be an empire on which the sun never sets.
.
Thinking of this, everyone's breathing could not help but quicken. The sun never sets on the empire.
This is larger than the territory and empire that Genghis Khan once laid down on the grasslands.
There is also the population of the Ming Dynasty, which is currently recorded at about 60 million people. In the future, with enough land and resources, the people of the Ming Dynasty will be spread all over the world, and this population will become 600,000, or 600,000,000 people.
When they thought of this huge number, everyone couldn't help but get excited.
For the people of Ming Dynasty, this is the most important thing, only those who have everything have everything!
