Chapter 388: What is Ming Dynasty lacking now? Talent!
Japanese island, a tiny place.
In addition, it was very close to the Ming Dynasty, so many people in the Ming Dynasty did not take Japan Island seriously.
Even if you want to go to sea, you must find a big place. It would be great to have a large area of land for farming. There is nothing like a Japanese island.
Therefore, Japan Island was not the first choice for people of the Ming Dynasty to go abroad, but if the output value of silver was to reach 30 million, enough craftsmen and workers must be recruited from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty.
Sha Qiliang, Liu Bin, and Zhou Lin, after a simple negotiation, immediately used silver as a breakthrough.
Aren't the local people of the Ming Dynasty focused on developing the economy, and everyone was rushing to make money?
Now there are more opportunities to make money in Japan. Do you want to come?
Just asking you if you want it!
"You will be paid when you come. The salary should be high. If you are an experienced craftsman, the salary will be even more..."
A series of preferential policies came from Sha Qiliang's mouth. After Liu Bin and Zhou Lin heard it, they both had another thought in their hearts: If I had known that I could earn so much money as a craftsman, why would I have studied? Wouldn't it be very interesting to be a craftsman?
Easily make a fortune?
What a mistake! What a mistake!
However, after getting excited, Liu Bin also raised his concerns: "Brother Sha, if we follow your idea, we will spend a lot of money in the early stage. Can this plan be passed?"
The plan is good, but the results are really uncertain.
But Sha Qiliang didn't seem so worried. He waved his hands and said to the two classmates: "Although the Chief Envoy is a military man, he is a sensible person and knows the pros and cons. How can you not feed the horse if you want it to run?"
Eating grass? We will be able to complete the mission given by Ming in the end, and that will be enough."
The necessary initial investment should still be met.
Sha Qiliang looked at Liu Bin and Zhou Lin: "Brother Liu, Brother Zhou, you two can write out your plan and give it to me. I will go to the chief envoy to report it, but it must be done quickly. We can work this year."
There really isn’t much time.”
Liu Bin and Zhou Lin heard Sha Qiliang's words and said in unison: "Okay!"
Fang Guozhen said that he only wanted results, not the process. If the task was not completed by then, and Fang Guozhen blamed him, no one could bear the pressure.
Liu Bin and Zhou Lin quickly handed over their plans to Sha Qiliang. After reading them, Sha Qiliang added some of his own, and then showed his plans to Fang Guozhen.
Fang Guozhen didn't quite understand this. After seeing the plan that Sha Qiliang handed him, he asked:
"Are you sure that if we spend this one million taels of silver, we can get 30 million taels of silver in one year?"
"It's not a big problem."
Sha Qiliang did not dare to guarantee, but Fang Guozhen said: "What we lack now are skilled workers. If we can have enough craftsmen, we can complete the task. Many local technologies in Ming Dynasty are more mature than ours. If we can get them from the local
Recruit enough people, and it's very possible to exceed the mission."
"What I want is not possibility, but certainty!"
Although Fang Guozhen is a warrior, he is still the boss after all and cannot be manipulated: "You can spend the money, and I can give you the power, but I must complete the task! That's for sure!"
As for possibilities, Fang Guozhen disagreed: "I agree with your plan. Go ahead and implement it. Spend the money as needed. I will also write a letter to His Majesty the King of England so that he can help us when we recruit craftsmen.
Provide some convenience."
"good!"
With the help of Fanggou Town, Sha Qiliang became more determined to complete the task.
If the King of England can provide convenience, then the mission is basically guaranteed!
…
In fact, not only Japan Island, but also several other overseas enclaves have received similar orders.
Not only the gold and silver transported to the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, but also a lot of requirements for food, steel, animal husbandry and other aspects of people's livelihood and Ming Dynasty projects were also issued.
For example, Australia.
Today, Australia has completely stabilized. There are about 3,000 Ming students on the entire island managing all aspects of affairs, and captives and indigenous people from the surrounding small islands will continue to be transported to Australia.
Opening up wasteland for farming, looking for metal deposits... Australia has become a new hot spot, and their task is even heavier. This year they will build 20 new steel furnaces for steelmaking and transport mineral deposits to the country.
And Australia must become a new food supply point for the Ming Dynasty's overseas troops. Like India, it must assume the important task of supplying food and grass.
The tasks given by the Chaotang to various places overseas make them feel miserable. They feel that the tasks given by the Chaotang are too heavy and difficult to complete, but they must also actively find ways to complete the tasks given by the Chaotang as soon as possible.
mission completed.
This is pain and happiness.
To be honest, the Ming Dynasty's overseas expansion was not accompanied by blood and fire as it was in history, nor did it cause so many killings. However, the Ming Dynasty's overseas expansion was still part of the invasion, and it was still blood-sucking in nature.
It’s just that the kind-hearted people of the Ming Dynasty did not blindly kill brutally when they expanded. Instead, they used big sticks and sweet dates to drive the uncivilized indigenous people to serve the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the indigenous people were very grateful to the Ming Dynasty and believed that the emergence of the Ming Dynasty
Give them a more colorful life.
This was the Ming Dynasty's foreign invasion strategy, and it also assimilated these indigenous people.
After a few generations, they all begin to learn the knowledge of Ming Dynasty, who will oppose Ming Dynasty?
The Ming Dynasty suddenly strengthened its control over overseas enclaves, which made the generals stationed in various places smell something unusual.
Soon, the Ming Dynasty will change the country's name to Huaxia, and other overseas enclaves will gradually change their country names to be included in the rule of the Ming Dynasty. As a country that dominates the world, the Ming Dynasty will re-select the site to build the imperial palace... A series of news
When the news came out, these overseas generals immediately realized that they were going to become famous.
Many of the generals stationed overseas were fellow countrymen who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world, but among them, there were also differences between high and low.
Zhu Han will not mention it, such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, as well as Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others. Their contributions are so great that other civil servants and generals cannot replace their positions.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But now the Ming Dynasty wants to re-modify the overseas enclaves and bring them into the Ming Dynasty's 'jurisdiction'. This is very maneuverable. No matter what, it is better than the original
Do you have more power?
Everyone began to get excited, waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to issue new orders.
…
Yao Guangxiao, who was in Yanjing, didn't care about this. After he came to Yanjing, he started walking around Yanjing City, first inside the city, and then outside the city. After walking around for several months, Yao Guangxiao was finally able to confirm that this
Yanjing City... is indeed the place where Long Xing comes.
It can be used as a city for the royal palace.
It stands to reason that as a new dynasty capital, Yanjing does not have a strong sense of historical presence. Compared with Chang'an, Bianliang, and Yingtian, which have been settled in the imperial capitals of all dynasties, it is a bit inconspicuous. However, this new one has given
The city of Yanjing has endless possibilities.
What kind of imperial capital is Yanjing City?
It is unique in all dynasties. It is a palace that encompasses a unified dynasty from all over the world, just like Qin Shihuang who unified the six countries. Isn't there an Afang Palace in Xianyang? There must be a similar palace in Yanjing City.
It is used to record Zhu Yuanzhang's great achievements in conquering the world.
Of course, there is also Zhu Han.
After Yao Guangxiao inspected Yanjing, he immediately determined one thing: he wanted to demolish the entire city of Yanjing!
These buildings are too low and do not fit the temperament of the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Even the city walls of Yuan Dadu had to be demolished.
The military general stationed in Yanjing was named Fu Youde, who was named the Marquis of Yingchuan. He was also one of the twenty-four famous Huaixi generals. After he knew that Yao Guangxiao was Zhu Han's disciple, he was very polite to him and welcomed Yao Guangxiao's visit to Yanjing.
The mission also provides full support.
When he heard that Yao Guangxiao was going to demolish the entire city of Yanjing, his eyes immediately widened: "How is this possible? Yanjing is an important town in the north and the headquarters of the army stationed in the north. How can we deal with important military and political affairs if it is demolished?"
After hearing this, Yao Guangxiao laughed and said: "The headquarters of the army stationed in the north? Marquis Yingchuan, do we still have enemies in the north today in the Ming Dynasty? I think the headquarters of the army stationed in the north should be moved north to the new city of Liaoyang in the northeast.
"
Before Fu Youde could continue to refuse, Yao Guangxiao quickly said: "Yingchuan Hou, Yanjing will be the capital of the Ming Dynasty in the future, and its military and political affairs are aimed at the entire Ming Dynasty. Today's north is just the north of China, and the integrated Ming Dynasty will still have the world.
There is a big difference. If you can transfer to Liaoyang, you may be directly led by His Majesty."
"Um?"
When Fu Youde heard Yao Guangxiao's words, he immediately stopped being angry.
He knew that the northern army he belonged to would belong to the north of China in the future.
If it wants to be managed, Huaxia must be the first manager, but Yao Guangxiao said that the northern army can be unified managed by the Ming Dynasty. Why is this?
Fu Youde immediately became speechless and looked at Yao Guangxiao, waiting for his answer.
Yao Guangxiao continued: "The imperial capital of Yanjing has more symbolic meaning than practical significance. If His Majesty wants to control the Ming Dynasty, he needs a reliable military force, so the northern army is the most important. After all, there are no enemies around Yanjing City.
, but in order to ensure the safety of Yanjing, the northern army is perfect. After all, there is only such an army north of Yanjing City, do you understand what I mean?"
Directly under the control of Ming Dynasty?
This statement made Fu Youde realize that his army in the north did have a natural advantage.
The army stationed in the north clearly belongs to China, but it has to be managed by Ming Dynasty. This is an opportunity.
Thinking of this, Fu Youde's resistance is not that big anymore. The main reason why he objected just now is because he wants to be closer to Zhu Yuanzhang. If he can stay in Yanjing, he will definitely be a close confidant of Zhu Yuanzhang.
But after hearing what Yao Guangxiao said, he found that it was not bad for him to be stationed in Liaoyang.
"Well, this is a good idea."
Fu Youde didn't know what to say, but after hearing Yao Guangxiao's words, he felt that it was very beneficial to him, but he completely forgot that his official position changed with time.
In three or five years, Fu Youde will no longer be the commander of the current army stationed in the north, and another rotation will be carried out, and the construction of Yanjing City may not be completed in three to five years.
Moreover, Yao Guangxiao was just Zhu Han's retainer and could not influence the political orders of Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang. It was Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han who had the final say on how to divide the affairs. What he said to Fu Youde now was a blank promise.
Maybe it's not a blank check, but the result of Yao Guangxiao's judgment based on the current situation.
However, Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but get excited when he said that the army stationed in Beijing was one level higher than other garrisons. No matter how he calculated it, it must be his contribution.
When Yao Guangxiao saw that he had impressed Fu Youde, he immediately became energetic and continued to say to Fu Youde: "If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools. There is also an old saying that goes, 'the soldiers and horses move before the food and grass are moved.' If the Marquis of Yingchuan made arrangements in advance, he would say
Maybe we can get greater benefits."
Just get greater benefits.
No matter what others thought, Fu Youde was extremely excited after hearing Yao Guangxiao's words, but he still pretended to be very calm and said to Yao Guangxiao: "No matter what your Majesty and the King of Seven... decide, I and the army stationed in the north will do our best.
support!"
Who doesn’t know how to talk about scenes?
Fu Youde felt that his answer was very satisfactory.
But Fu Youde was still somewhat rational. He asked Yao Guangxiao: "Then... what should the people of Yanjing City do? If Yanjing City is completely demolished, will they be displaced?"
"Don't worry, Marquis Yingchuan. When we built Yanjing City, our first consideration was the people. This is also the intention of His Majesty and the King of England. The people of Yanjing City are the top priority."
Yao Guangxiao already had a plan in his mind, and he said to Fu Youde: "The people of Yanjing City have received the benefits of the policy. This is their luck. When building Yanjing City, I will first build part of the open space into common people's land."
A place to live, and then free up space for construction... Just like the reconstruction of Nancheng in Yanjing City, if you have time, the Marquis of Yingchuan can go and see the changes in Yingtian Mansion."
Going to Yingtian?
Fu Youde will not go even if he is beaten to death.
Besides, at such a critical moment now, how could he leave Yanjing easily?
After thinking about it, Fu Youde said to Yao Guangxiao: "Since you said that we should go to Liaoyang, then you can also design Liaoyang by the way. At least calculate our geographical location well so that it can be as good as the army stationed in the north.
Doesn’t it work?”
"It is indeed a blessing for the Ming Dynasty that the Marquis of Yingchuan has such an idea. It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have the Marquis of Yingchuan!"
Yao Guangxiao and Fu Youde exchanged business blows. Fu Youde was so flattered by Yao Guangxiao that he happily accepted Yao Guangxiao's suggestion and told Yao Guangxiao that he would follow his plan and cooperate with the transformation of Yanjing City.
If any blind person dares to stop him, he will immediately side with Yao Guangxiao and fully cooperate with Yao Guangxiao's work.
I have to admit that Yao Guangxiao has two skills. Although it is the first time for him to take over such an important job, he seems to have a natural ability in dealing with interpersonal relationships. Fu Youde, an old man in the world, was made happy by him.
Yao Di didn't care at all about losing such a piece of Yanjing's strategy, and was even happy... Yao Guangxiao's ability to deceive was truly second to none.
After seeing off Fu Youde, the smile on Yao Guangxiao's face disappeared and became extremely solemn. He knew that...the next step was the most critical moment.
Evacuating Yanjing City is only the first step. How to build Yanjing City so that it can have the momentum of all nations coming to court? This is a more important thing that Yao Guangxiao needs to consider.
