"Yes, the court now encourages the development of industry and commerce. After the Singapore dollar, the five northern provinces will build concrete roads on a large scale to facilitate the circulation of commercial materials. The two uncles must seize the opportunity!"
"Your Majesty, don't industry and commerce have to pay taxes?" Zhu Changhao blinked, as if a large amount of silver was shaking before his eyes.
"Taxes can't be less. Uncle Rui Wang looked at the cement factory. When did Zhenshe pay less taxes? Don't you still make money?"
"However, we don't know what factories to build." Zhu Changxun was a little frustrated. Apart from relying on Zhu Youjian, he really didn't understand these technical tasks and did not have the ability to run factories independently.
"If you want to open a factory, you must have the corresponding technology. Look at my cement factory, glass factory, soap factory, etc., which one is not a technical job? You choose people with scientific spirit from your children and grandchildren to go to the Daming Academy of Sciences. Learn technology, and if you have technology, you can set up your own factory. You don’t lack capital and management capabilities. You can also send your children and grandchildren who have mastered the technology to other people’s factories to earn remuneration and support your own family."
"Your Majesty, can the Academy of Sciences really learn these technologies?" Zhu Changhao admires Zhu Youjian's skills, cement, glass, soap, which one is not exclusive? Only he knows the profit in the middle.
"My technology comes from a very mixed source, not to mention it. Now that I have the Daming Academy of Sciences, I can learn systematic technology, and my two uncles have the ability to set up factories. In the future, if you want to save money, you still have to ask for it from industry and commerce. "
"Your Majesty's minister understands a bit, but the minister doesn't know what factories to run." Zhu Changhao is already excited. From this point of view, Zhu Youjian's release of the clan has given them a chance to make money.
"Thinking is good. As for setting up a factory, take your time. The most important thing now is that the cement plant in Shaanxi is well run. After the Singapore dollar, the imperial court will build cement roads on a large scale, and large households will also use cement. To build a house, the demand for cement is far from the imagination of Uncle Rui Wang."
"Your Majesty, what about the minister? The minister can't sit and eat the mountain sky, right? Besides, the clan mansion is about to disband, and the minister's mouth is nowhere to eat." Zhu Changxun felt that he was going to fall behind Zhu Changhao, even this way. Can't compare with the stubborn species, how can he be willing
"Uncle Fu invested in the construction of the cement road, which has already connected the eight provinces of Henan. The court does not need to be built on a large scale. The court does simple integration at most. It seems that Uncle Fu can't expect to build roads. If there is any good project, I will never forget Uncle Fu Wang."
"Your Majesty, when will you have to wait?" Zhu Changhao has already saved a lot of money, but Zhu Changxun hasn't found a single one, and he has built a cross-provincial cement road for Henan Province for nothing.
"Well, I set up a soap factory in Yansui, Shaanxi. Right now, the demand for soap is too great. I provide technology to let Uncle Fu set up a soap factory in Luoyang. Although the profit of this soap is low, it is used by people. Many of them are indispensable to every household, and the money will definitely not be less earned."
"The minister thanked your Majesty first!" Zhu Changxun bowed his hand to Zhu Youjian, "But, your Majesty, what is this soap? What is the special use? The minister is not clear at all."
"Soap is used for laundry, and every household needs to wash clothes. As long as the price is right, the people absolutely cannot do without it... Uncle Fu's fief is in Luoyang. As long as the people in Henan have surplus money, Uncle Fu is still worried about making money?"
"Your Majesty, the minister understands that if you want to earn money, you still have to rely on industry and commerce!" Although Zhu Changxun was too fat to bear his body, his brain was still flexible. Zhu Youjian made a few words and let him grasp the point.
"Uncle Fu finally appreciates the essence of the New Deal. Unfortunately, some people always grasp the principle of'farming first'. However, Uncle Fu makes money, and don't forget the court. All industrial and commercial enterprises have to pay taxes. , Even my factory is no exception!"
"At that time, naturally, your Majesty can send someone to supervise it at any time."
"If we are supervised to the extent that we are not needed, the Ministry of Households will naturally send someone to check the accounts. You are paying taxes to the court, not to me."
"Ou, Chen understands."
"Two uncles and princes, can you still oppose our New Deal? Against the collection of agricultural tax and industrial and commercial tax?"
Zhu Changxun glanced at Zhu Changhao, "Your Majesty, the ministers are not against it, but the other princes..."
"Then you need two uncles and princes to do more of their ideological work. In fact, although I cannot take care of every prince, the princes can look for opportunities to make money. I am disbanding the clan mansion and levying agricultural taxes on all farmland. At the same time, they have also lifted their identities, and they can fully support themselves."
"Your Majesty, these money-making projects are not easy to find for a while!" Zhu Changhao was still somewhat distracted.
"This requires scientific knowledge and opportunities to make money. They are all leading in science and technology. If you want to make money, you must learn advanced science and technology."
"Your Majesty, after the minister returns to the fief, he must send his children to the Daming Academy of Sciences, and strive to learn more science and technology."
"Yeah!" Zhu Youjian nodded, "I said in the end, the two uncles and princes must not violate the law of Da Ming, let alone deceive others when they start business and earn money, otherwise, I will not be able to help you. To make money, there are legitimate opportunities."
"Yes, Your Majesty, keep this in mind!" Zhu Changhao saluted Zhu Youjian.
Zhu Changxun trembled, "Your Majesty, the family mansion is about to disband, the assets of that family mansion..."
"The assets of the clan mansion, except for a small amount of real estate in the capital, the rest are distributed to all the clan disciples according to the original shares."
"Your Majesty, so, everyone should have nothing to say."
After sending away the two princes, Zhu Youzhen felt more than half relieved. The most difficult clan problem had already been loosened. With the propaganda and support of the two uncles and princes, he saw the dawn of a solution without force.
After the Singapore dollar, Zhu Youjian supervised the implementation of the New Deal on the one hand, and on the other hand, he personally took charge of building large-scale cement avenues in the five northern provinces. He wanted to give the industry and commerce in the five northern provinces the wings to take off.
His goal is to allow all the capitals of the five northern provinces to have direct arterial roads.
Zhu Youjian calculated that the roads in Shaanxi are the densest. Except for the Second Avenue from Tongguan to Fengxiang, which traverses the entire Shaanxi province, there is also a "U"-shaped cement road that connects all state capitals in central and northern Shaanxi, including The newly established Yansui Mansion is fully connected, and now except for the Hanzhong Mansion, all the prefectures in Shaanxi are connected to the cement road.
The Hanzhong Mansion is south of the Qinling Mountains and cannot be connected to Xi'an in the north. Zhu Youjian will not consider Shaanxi for the time being.
In the eight provinces of Henan, due to the private funding of Fu Wang Zhu Changxun and Zhu Youjian, the cement roads have been completely accessible, and there is no need to build them for the time being. In the future, they will be able to connect with the highways of other nearby provinces.
Shandong’s six prefectures, in addition to Yanzhou prefecture, Dongchang prefecture, Jinan prefecture, Qingzhou prefecture, Dengzhou prefecture, and Laizhou prefecture, are almost in a straight line. Li Yuan governs Shandong, and a cement road traversing the Shandong Peninsula has connected these five prefectures. , The cement road also turns south from Dengzhou to Jiaozhou Bay.
Zhu Youjian renamed Jiao'ao, the home port of the North Sea Fleet, to Qingdao, where a prefecture will be established in the future.
Shandong’s roads have taken shape. As long as a road is built between Jinan Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture, all roads in Shandong provinces will be completed.
However, Zhu Youjian did not want Shandong's roads to be semi-independent. He planned to connect Shandong's roads with the capital.
An oblique avenue runs from the Jingshi to the south, passing through Tianjin Wei and Hejianfu, and connects with Jinanfu in Shandong, so that the Jingshi and Shandong are connected in a neat way. This is the main road construction in Shandong now.
Zhu Youjian named this road Fourth Avenue, also called Jinglai Avenue. He estimated that Fourth Avenue would be the first fully completed national road.
The main roads that need to be built in the five northern provinces are Beizhili and Shanxi.
Although Beizhili is at the foot of the emperor and is the starting point of many avenues, there are not many cement avenues in its prefectures. Up to now, among the eight prefectures of Beizhili, only the northeastern Yongping prefecture is in the first place. On the First Avenue, it is an important transit station on the First Avenue.
Hejian Mansion can be regarded as a cement avenue on the future Fourth Avenue. Needless to say, Jingshi Shuntian Mansion will pass.
There are also the five houses of Baoding, Zhending, Shunde, Daming, and Guangping, which are almost in a straight line in the south of the capital. As long as one road, they can be connected with the capital. In the future, they can cross the Yellow River and connect with the road in Henan. Into a line.
Zhu Youjian planned to merge Yanqing prefecture and Baoan prefecture in the northwest of the capital, and the prefecture was in Yanqing, which is about Zhangjiakou of later generations. From the capital to Yanqing, a cement road was built. Xuanfu, a major military town, is closely linked.
The roads of Beizhili are relatively clear. Three roads need to be built. They are connected to Shandong via Tianjin Wei and Hejian Prefecture in the southeast, Henan Province via Baoding, Zhending, Shunde, Daming, and Guangping Prefectures in the south, and Henan Province in the northwest. Built to Xuanfu.
Shanxi is the least accessible road in the five northern provinces.
There are six prefectures and two prefectures in Shanxi. After the Second Avenue enters Shanxi from the Jingxing Ancient Road on the Taihang Mountain, it passes along the Fen River to the southwest. The Avenue passes through Taiyuan Prefecture and Pingyang Prefecture. Fenzhou Prefecture is on the west bank of the Fen River, separated from the Second Avenue. River, as long as a Fenhe Bridge is built, it can be connected to the Second Avenue.
Liaozhou, Lu’an Prefecture, Qinzhou Prefecture, and Zezhou Prefecture are all located in the southwest of Taiyuan Prefecture and to the west of Taihang Mountain. As long as a straight line is built from Taiyuan Prefecture to the southwest, Liaozhou, Luzhou Prefecture, and Zezhou Prefecture can be connected. As for Qinzhou, it is very close to this avenue. If you build a branch road, you can connect it.
But to the north of Taiyuan Mansion, there is no main road in the vast area. Close to the Great Wall, there is a military and civilian town... Datong.
It is the most trouble-free to build a cement road directly to connect Taiyuan Prefecture with Datong Prefecture, but Zhu Youjian did not do so. He plans to build this road from Taiyuan Prefecture to Suzhou County, and then turn to the northeast. Extend to Datong.
Zhu Youjian did this for two main reasons: one is that between Taiyuan Prefecture and Datong Prefecture, there are Wutaishan, Hengshan and other mountain peaks blocking, it is extremely difficult to build roads; the other is that Zhu Youjian saw the Great Wall outside, in Suzhou Farther to the north, it is the center of Chahar Mongol’s current rule... The city of Guihua, which is also the city of later generations, is almost in a straight line. Zhu Youjian thought of the future. Therefore, he built this concrete avenue directly from Taiyuan Mansion to Suzhou instead of Datong.
The avenue has not been built much yet, and Zhu Youjian feels particularly tired. It seems that the busy government affairs are not something Zhu Youjian can bear. He wants to speed up Ming's political reform.
