No matter what, nothing can be compared with Jin Yiwei.
For thousands of years in China, neither the Imperial City Division nor the Sticking Division has been as prestigious as the Jinyiwei Lai.
Without him, Zhu Yuanzhang used it too harshly, almost stabbing him with a gun in a fair and just way, and he had independent judicial power.
Therefore, the emperor also realized his interest and handed over the collection of patent fees to Jin Yiwei, and divided the money from confiscating the property 50-50.
After all, the war is basically going on in the country, so we have to find something to do for Jin Yiwei, right?
However, in order to prevent Jin Yiwei from abusing his power, the emperor still took back judicial power and only enforced human rights.
"As long as we can use this ZTE machine, we can take it directly to our hometown and hire a few good craftsmen to improve it. Then it will be faster. Our Tang family will really become prosperous..."
Tang Jiashu said excitedly.
Compared with this, Jinshi seems to have no taste.
"Son, as long as you pass the Jinshi exam, isn't it easy to get the ZTE machine?"
Mr. Tang is quite open-minded.
"No, father, one step is slow, one step is slow. If we stop for a while, others will learn from it, and then our family's business will plummet..."
Tang Jiashu gritted his teeth and continued to persevere.
Helpless, the old father could only give in.
I approached it with the attitude of giving it a try. Surprisingly, it went very smoothly. I could use it after paying the money, and even gave me the drawings.
The Tang family's father and son were overjoyed, and Tang's father couldn't wait to go home.
ZTE machines also began to flow into the south from Beijing.
From wool to cotton to raw hemp, the textile industry caused huge waves due to the ZTE incident. It was almost a revolution and a transformation of wealth.
"Your Majesty, in the past few months, ZTE has sold hundreds of sets of machines, and today a rich man from Jiangsu came to buy..."
As the emperor's spokesperson in business, Zhang Qi, the head of the state, was very high-spirited and prosperous in business, making a lot of money.
And this ZTE machine is indeed a hen that lays golden eggs. People come to buy it almost every day. Although a family only has a hundred yuan, they can’t handle the large quantity!
Zhang Qi couldn't help but said: "A hundred yuan per machine is too little, why not pay by machine? Even one yuan per machine is still a big sum..."
"Humph, your eyelids are too shallow!"
Zhu Yixi glanced at him sideways and said disdainfully.
A businessman is a businessman, and he only cares about money. How do you know his determination to revolutionize the textile industry?
"According to the machine, if people use it more sneakily, can they still find it? Jin Yiwei can't just go to the people's place to patrol after eating every day and having nothing to do, right?"
Hearing this, Zhang Qi stopped smiling and looked embarrassed.
It's good to be able to control such a big city like Beijing, but it really can't be prevented.
The emperor ignored him, closed his eyes, and began to think in his heart.
After hearing the news from Jinyiwei, someone has set up a weaving yard in Tianjin to transport cotton from the south by sea and then weave it into cotton cloth on the spot.
Costs are reduced and profits are greatly increased.
Thinking about it, it won't be long before such textile factories will be spread all over Tianjin. More and more cotton will be transported, maritime transportation will naturally prosper, and the private shipbuilding industry will inevitably grow.
However, the impact on agriculture cannot be underestimated.
The hard-earned cotton now has a market, and we no longer have to make money by weaving as in the past. This will make the southern provinces love growing cotton more.
Unfortunately, it is only suitable for areas along rivers and coastal areas such as Jiangsu and Anhui. If it is too far away, the cost will be high.
However, the textile industry in the south can also digest it locally. It is probably more difficult to export to the north. The expanded weaving field will run out of raw materials.
"Too bad, one bad thing is the economic crisis, which has caused the collapse of a large number of weaving factories."
Zhu Yixi secretly cried out, as the North, which had finally recovered a little, was afraid of suffering heavy losses.
Fortunately I had the foresight.
"How is the reclamation of cotton fields in Taiwan Province going?"
"About 5,000 acres have been cultivated. I think it will reach 20,000 acres next year, as long as people can keep up."
Zhang Qi said hurriedly.
"There are a lot of immigrants in Taiwan?"
Zhu Yixi was curious. You must know that nowadays, miasma, malaria, and acclimatization can kill 70% of immigrants. Although the temptation of the land is great, there are very few people who really dare to risk it.
"After Macau was taken back, many Western Yi people went to Taiwan to settle down. Among those three people, there was one Yi Yi..."
"There are more barbarians, there are more ships, and then there are more immigrants..."
Although he didn't understand why the Taiwan government was like this, Zhang Qi understood that the Chinese and foreigners accounted for a large part of the reason.
"The Taiwan government should try its best to enrich it. Such a huge place must be developed as soon as possible."
Zhu Yixi showed a smile.
Taiwan is now like a window, where everything from the West first appeared. The mixture of Chinese and Western things will inevitably produce different biochemical reactions.
Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones.
For example, shipbuilding technology, navigation, astronomy, etc.
Therefore, Taiwan government does not have a strict household registration system. As long as you register in the yellow register, you can freely enter and exit Taiwan government.
Moreover, as a reserve cotton planting base, when a large number of cotton fields exist, weaving farms that lack raw materials can be revived.
When cotton, woolen clothes and other things become popular, the cold can be resisted, then the development of Northeast China can be put on the agenda, and then the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not be allowed to linger in Liaodong.
When the Northeast is developed into a granary, its dependence on the South will naturally be greatly reduced, and Beijing will be able to travel lightly.
But it didn’t matter. At that time, shipping was already on the right track and had truly become a commercial route.
The rise of the textile industry will further promote the development of commercial taxes, thereby reducing the proportion of agricultural taxes. The days when the court was short of money may be gone forever.
These are all linked together and inseparable.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yixi couldn't help laughing.
"How many camels did you take?"
The emperor seemed to have remembered something and said directly.
"I found someone to purchase 300 head from Gansu Province. Twenty or thirty of them died of illness along the way. I will raise about 270 head in Beijing."
When he heard about camels, Zhang Qi couldn't help but talk a lot: "This camel has big feet, eats a lot, and drinks a lot, but it is hardworking and hardworking, so it can do better than a Mongolian pony."
It can take care of all kinds of weeds and tree barks, which is very comfortable. The cargo capacity is also large, so it is most suitable for long-distance transportation.
"Keep it, and then go to Gansu to get some."
The emperor's eyes moved and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "It will be a surprise when there are thousands or tens of thousands of them."
Whether it is doing business or transporting grain, camels are the most affordable tool. In this era, animal power represents the key force.
In this era, productivity is key.
Wait, productivity, although I can’t build a steam engine, I know the principles!
When the steam engine comes out, the mining industry will develop greatly, and the handicraft industry will also make great strides.
Armor, weapons and other precious materials in feudal society will be continuously produced, and even firearms can become cheap.
