Chapter 426: The Eve of Reform

The local economy of the Ming Dynasty this year was very poor for the Jiangnan region. The economies of the new policy provinces were under the large-scale construction of state-owned enterprises and the imperial court, and the war against Mongolia were carried out, which allowed employment to be guaranteed. However, the scale of luxury goods consumption was reduced a lot, and many luxury goods in the Jiangnan region were not sold so well.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the textile industry of state-owned enterprises has further developed. A large number of factories have used textile equipment powered by steam engines. Textile workshops and textile factories in the Jiangnan region have basically collapsed completely. However, more than a dozen state-owned enterprise textile factories have appeared in Songjiang Prefecture, and the production is booming.&1t;/p>

Steel, textile, and other industries were very prosperous in the Jiangnan region in the past. Steel smelting has long been done, and now the textile industry is completely done.&1t;/p>

The textile market in the entire Yangtze River Basin has been occupied by state-owned textiles.&1t;/p>

Steel, cotton cloth, wool imitations, salt, grain, and these things are gradually controlled by state-owned capital consortiums in the Yangtze River Basin.&1t;/p>

Nowadays, small steamers can often be seen sailing on the Yangtze River. The tonnage of these small steamers ranges from hundreds to thousands of tons. The emergence of these small steamers has enabled the "Yangtze River Freight Company" established by state-owned capital to gradually monopolize the Yangtze River water transportation.&1t;/p>

This has created a very fierce phenomenon of national advancement and private withdrawal. A large number of private businessmen have been squeezed into the corner of bankruptcy and bankruptcy by state-owned enterprises.&1t;/p>

The economy in Huguang is relatively stable. After all, Huguang mainly produces commercial grains and does not have much handicrafts. These commercial grains are sold well after state-owned capital intervenes in the purchase and are relatively stable. As for the industrial goods required, the people in Huguang area do not care who they buy. As long as the quality is good and the price is more affordable, they can buy which one they are worth it.&1t;/p>

Sichuan and other places. Because transportation is not so convenient, although it has been impacted by state-owned factory goods in the rural natural economy, the impact is not so big. In addition, there are not so many disasters and the economy is relatively stable.&1t;/p>

Like Fujian and Guangdong, coastal provinces such as coastal provinces have also been impacted by state-owned commodities and the rural natural economy has begun to collapse, the problem is not big.&1t;/p>

Fujian and Guangdong have many immigrants, and local areas are relatively stable.&1t;/p>

What really hit the Jiangnan region is the industrialized population in the towns, but the agriculture is still quite good, especially the cultivation of cash crops. With the huge demand for raw materials in the north's industrial production, the scale has increased a lot. Agriculture has also begun to move towards a division of labor model and has become more specialized.&1t;/p>

The most popular reverse development is the raw silk industry. With the expansion of marine trade in the Jiangnan region, the export demand has gradually increased. Moreover, with the development of the northern commodity market, the demand for raw silk is also increasing in large quantities. In this era, it was a common phenomenon for people to consume silk.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the demand for tea has also increased significantly. Whether it is tea bricks or ordinary tea, export demand is constantly expanding.&1t;/p>

In the Huzhou area of ​​Zhejiang, due to the prosperity of the raw silk industry, the local economy has become very good.&1t;/p>

However, in the 13th year of the Apocalypse, state-owned wire reeling factories began to appear in Huzhou. They used steam engine equipment, which led to a large number of bankruptcies in the local wire reeling factories due to their inability to compete.&1t;/p>

Many urban workers who have lost their jobs have chosen to immigrate or work in the north at this time. Coastal shipping is now more convenient, and travel is much more convenient.&1t;/p>

Under various adjustments, the Ming Dynasty was generally stable this year.&1t;/p>

Japan made it worse, and the civil war continued. The war between the Tokugawa Shogunate and those Aphrodisiacs entered a stalemate. Behind those Aphrodisiacs, the Ming Dynasty was supporting it. But sometimes the Ming Dynasty would support the Tokugawa Shogunate and implement a balanced policy, so that the situation was stalemate.&1t;/p>

Due to the war, Japan's precious metals flowed out to the Ming Dynasty, and the scale of copper mine exports continued to increase in exchange for more combat materials.&1t;/p>

The situation in North Korea is very stable. After years of economic colonization, North Korea's economy has been deeply penetrated by the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

At this time, the capital of the Ming Dynasty controlled nearly three-tenths of North Korea's land, as well as a large amount of mining and forestry resources. With a large amount of investment, North Korea is continuing to produce various industrial raw materials for the Ming Dynasty, and the commodity market was severely impacted by the Ming Dynasty's commodities.&1t;/p>

North Korea's textile industry has completely disappeared, steel smelting and other things are gone, all of which are imported from the Ming Dynasty textiles and steel.&1t;/p>

At the same time, mining was controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and coal was also mined by the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

Cotton, coal, and steel were the main export products of the British colonial world in history, and at this time it gradually became the mainstream commodity of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

However, in addition to cotton, coal, and steel, the Ming Dynasty also had many commodities. Ceramics, tea, raw silk, and glass products were also mainstream commodities.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty basically did not need to import any industrial goods, but only agricultural products and industrial raw materials. At this time, the Ming Dynasty had all kinds of industries. Just like China in later generations, it crushed the Dameng of other countries that traded with it.&1t;/p>

Once other countries have opened up the commodity market by the Ming Dynasty, their industries will not be able to show.&1t;/p>

North Korea is becoming a country that produces agricultural products and mines minerals for the Ming Dynasty. As long as the railway is built to North Korea, North Korea's mining scale will be expanded accordingly, and a lot of jobs will be increased. After the railway is built, North Koreans do not need to worry about nothing to do.&1t;/p>

North Korea's national capital has basically been wiped out over the years, and a group of lackeys were born. These lackeys were attached to the Ming capital, sharing the interests of commercial colonization of North Korea, and specifically serving the Ming capital.&1t;/p>

North Korea's business has been greatly controlled and monopolized by the Ming capital. North Korea, a country with a population of 8 million, is gradually becoming a good cow to milk the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

The countries on the Indochina Peninsula have experienced rapid agriculture, and North Korea has begun to milk the Ming Dynasty continuously. However, the countries on the Indochina Peninsula have rich agricultural resources, so they mainly produce agricultural products and provide a large amount of rice for the Ming Dynasty. Then they use rice, minerals, wood and other resources to exchange for Ming Dynasty commodities.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty did not even need to directly colonize these countries by force, and commercial colonization was enough to plunder these countries. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty did not directly interfere in the internal affairs of other countries on the Indochina Peninsula except for controlling Annan.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty opened in the Nanyang area, but the resources were not fully opened, and there were still many islands that were not included in the opening range.&1t;/p>

The Jinzhou Province of Sumatra has just been established for a few years. It has only opened a small part of the area. The highest level of openings are Jawa Island and Luzon Island.&1t;/p>

In Java, Luzon, it can now provide the Ming Dynasty with a lot of spices such as sugar and pepper, as well as various fruits, oil palm, rubber, sisal and other economic crops. The economic exhibition is very good. The rice planting industry is not on a large scale, but provides local needs for the islands in Nanyang. The commercial grain is mainly produced by countries on the Indochina Peninsula.&1t;/p>

Although the resource opening in Nanyang slowed down, it became very stable. The number of Han people immigrated to Nanyang to reclaim plantations was still increasing.&1t;/p>

A large number of unemployed Jiangnan workers immigrated to Nanyang and Australia. In these places, they obtained sufficient production resources and could live a good life as long as they were willing to work hard.&1t;/p>

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had basically wiped out East Asia and Oceania, but there were many things left that needed to be swept. For example, Mongolia was still swept out, and at the same time, Japan, South China natives, Australian natives, and regimes on the Indochina Peninsula were also targets that needed further swept out.&1t;/p>

However, the entire East Asia has become the commodity market and raw material origin of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty's goods can be sold to any country in East Asia, and at the same time, various raw materials can be obtained in no region in East Asia.&1t;/p>

The number of ocean-going merchant ships in the Ming Dynasty had reached more than 8,000 by the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse, and now thousands of 2,000-ton large sailboats can be built every year.&1t;/p>

However, the production capacity of sailboats has been fixed and there is no growth anymore. The one that began to grow rapidly was the production capacity of steam ships. In the 13th year of the Apocalypse, more than 100 steam ships of 500 tons, more than a dozen thousands of tons, and a two thousand tons ship.&1t;/p>

The machinery manufacturing industry is developing rapidly with the large number of steam engines, and the performance of steam engines has begun to gradually improve. More and more factories are using steam engines. Those private-funded factory owners who have achieved technological upgrades are still doing well in the 13th year of the Apocalypse.&1t;/p>

Although banks no longer make loans, the profit margin after completing the technology upgrade is very obvious. As long as there is no debt problem, you can still make a lot of money.&1t;/p>

After years of reforms in the north, the level of industrialization is gradually improving. Finally, in the 13th year of the Apocalypse, the industrial output value of the Ming Dynasty first passed the agricultural output value, becoming the industry with the largest output value.&1t;/p>

This means that the Ming Dynasty has officially entered the stage of industrialization.&1t;/p>

Industrialization and a large number of merchant ships continued to engage in overseas trade, which further enriched the Ming Dynasty. The income of the state-owned capital consortium increased further, and the dividends paid to the court were even greater.&1t;/p>

As the railway trunk line is completed, the commodity market has expanded rapidly and urbanization has accelerated. The imperial taxation is also growing.&1t;/p>

The court became very rich, and Zhu Youxiao also became extremely rich.&1t;/p>

At the end of the 13th year of the Apocalypse, the dividends paid by state-owned capital to the court reached nearly 200 million yuan, while the dividends paid by Zhu Youxiao reached 100,000 yuan.&1t;/p>

Nowadays, the dividend distribution model of state-owned consortiums is to pay the state 2o. Then, according to this base, dividends are given to the consortium members.&1t;/p>

There is only one shareholder in the state-owned capital consortium, that is, Zhu Youxiao holds 5, others have no shares, only dividends.&1t;/p>

The Han Imperial Party ministers and state-owned enterprises in the court all paid some dividends, which totaled only about 30 yuan. Among them, Yang Guorui and Shen Qing received the most dividends, both reaching 1. In the 13th year of the Apocalypse, they all received a dividend of 20,000 yuan. Such income is even more terrifying than those chaebols in Jiangnan.&1t;/p>

Which chaebol in Jiangnan can earn 20,000 yuan a year?&1t;/p>

At the end of the year, members of the interest group established by Zhu Youxiao received their own interests and were filled with joy.&1t;/p>

Chen Wei and Yang Guorui have now become the top wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty because of their tight grip on the emperor's thighs, but they all seem relatively low-key now.&1t;/p>

Moreover, the politics of the Ming Dynasty has become relatively moderate. Although the ministers are quite rich, they will not threaten the emperor's status, and there is no need to worry about being cracked by the emperor.&1t;/p>

The interest group built by Zhu Youxiao does not require the ministers below to be honest. As long as they do their job well, they can share dividends from the state-owned capital consortium. Moreover, this is legal income and can be used openly to spend money.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao was the same as before. After the consortium distributed dividends, he began to spread wealth everywhere.&1t;/p>

Where was the disaster affected, the emperor took the lead in donating money.&1t;/p>

Since the construction of the library, museum and opera house, Zhu Youxiao has invested money to build a large stadium in Beijing.&1t;/p>

At the same time, at the end of the 13th year of the Apocalypse, a "Apocalypse Fund" was established. The five million will be used for various investments, and its profits will be used to reward those who have achieved outstanding achievements in various fields, which is basically similar to the Nobel Prize in later generations.&1t;/p>

The Apocalypse Award covers literature, science, economy and other fields. With its generous prizes and highest honors, it has become the most valuable award.&1t;/p>

As the saying goes, the upward movement is effective. Zhu Youxiao is now spending money everywhere in charity and public welfare, and members of the interest group, the state-owned capital consortium, have also followed suit.&1t;/p>

The reason why the dividends of state-owned capital consortiums are so high is mainly due to the huge profits brought by industrialization and the huge profits from overseas trade.&1t;/p>

This interest group is still moving forward now.&1t;/p>

Now that the state-owned capital consortium wants to continue to develop, the first thing is to continue to operate the internal market and complete the country's radical reform. 36o Search                                                                                                          

The second is to continue to expand the large commodity market and raw material production areas outward. Now the commodity market and resources in East Asia and Oceania are basically in the bowl. The next step is to expand to Central Asia, South Asia's sub-major 6, Middle East, and Africa, while operating the West Coast Colony of the Americas.&1t;/p>

"Before the end of next spring, the Mongolian battlefield will basically end, and most of the troops can be drawn back from Mongolia. It is time to incorporate southern provinces into the reform." Zhu Youxiao decided, and a group of ministers were immediately excited.&1t;/p>

If the southern provinces were included in the reform, what great economic benefits would it have?&1t;/p>

At that time, the profits of state-owned capital consortiums will definitely rise. Although heavy industry in the south is not as good as the north, its economic development potential is definitely better than that of the northern provinces.&1t;/p>

They have been staring at this piece of fat for a long time.&1t;/p>

"If there is military cooperation in this reform, it will be basically guaranteed." Chen Yan said that it is actually very simple to reform the southern provinces. It is directly under the army and is in charge of the southern provinces. Whoever dares to be the first to be the first to kill him without saying a word.&1t;/p>

When the reform is over, the people will definitely support this reform. If the army is withdrawn, the interest classes with damaged interests will not be able to make a fuss.&1t;/p>
