In the 14th year of the Apocalypse, the industry of the Ming Dynasty was still developing rapidly. This year, with the reform of Huguang and Huaihe River Basin, the internal market became larger, and the scale of commodity exports to southern provinces also became larger. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty did not stop its pace in developing overseas markets.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty adopted military coercion measures in the market development of the Indochina Peninsula. The Nanyang Governor Gao Bangzuo and the Ming Dynasty Governor Zhang Yan jointly joined forces to continue to interfere in the situation on the Naka Peninsula. They signed a series of trade and investment agreements with Siam and Myanmar.&1t;/p>

These agreements allowed the Ming Dynasty's goods and capital to freely enter the Siam and Myanmar markets, and the Ming Dynasty's force also made Siam and Myanmar feel awe and dare not make rash decisions in front of the Ming Dynasty. If they were obedient, the Ming Dynasty would not invade them.&1t;/p>

And the Ming Dynasty did not have the idea of ​​including the territory for the time being, but signed a sovereign agreement with these countries and determined the territorial waters issue.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty did not need to occupy these countries by force, just treat them as the back garden of the Ming Dynasty. If it is truly occupied, there may be a lot of trouble.&1t;/p>

Without occupying the situation, the Ming Dynasty has intervened a lot in these countries. At least these countries cannot do anything to harm the commercial interests of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, they cannot allow a military force that may unify the peninsula on the Indochina Peninsula, so the Ming Dynasty will have a fire in the backyard.&1t;/p>

So there is still basic political intervention. After all, the Ming Dynasty is the suzerain state of these countries, and it is legitimate to intervene, and there is no legal problem.&1t;/p>

At the same time, in India, the Ming Dynasty gradually completed its layout, and by winning over a batch, isolating a batch, and suppressing a batch, the commodity can enter India on a large scale, and the scale of trade with India continues to expand.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty's trade fleet also began to enter ports of countries along the Middle East and Africa for trade. In addition, trade with Portugal and Spanish people is also continuing.&1t;/p>

The external market is continuing to expand, while the market within the Ming Dynasty is even larger. The provinces in the north that have completed reforms have become workers because a large number of people have become workers. At the same time, the rural natural economy has been impacted by the commodity economy, and the market has become very broad. In addition, various immigrant provinces overseas also have mature commodity economy markets.&1t;/p>

The huge domestic and foreign markets made the large-scale commodity production activities of the Ming Dynasty profitable, thus promoting the development of the industrial revolution.&1t;/p>

At this time, the industrial revolution of the Ming Dynasty had entered a stage of using the government as the guide and began to break through the three major aspects of energy, power and transportation.&1t;/p>

The next stage is the Second Industrial Revolution, which is the mass production of steel, chemicals, machinery (including agricultural machinery). However, the Ming Dynasty has not yet fully entered this stage, but has begun to lay out the layout. Among them, large-scale production of steel was the earliest. Now the emergence of trains has allowed this large-scale production to break through the restrictions of transportation, as if it had been equipped with flying wings.&1t;/p>

Large-scale production of machinery is also available, but market demand has not yet completely exploded. The chemical industry is in a state of just starting out.&1t;/p>

The Second Industrial Revolution is a process of developing from the low end to the middle and high end.&1t;/p>

After this stage, it is the stage of entering the welfare society. This stage is the time to establish various welfare policies.&1t;/p>

The industrial revolution is nothing more than these stages.&1t;/p>

Just like a person who learns mathematics, he must first learn from addition and subtraction, and learn calculus step by step. If the order is reversed, or if he is engaged in *******, it will lead to the failure of the industrial revolution.&1t;/p>

Many countries in later generations were unable to complete industrialization, but they launched **** under the deception of Western countries. Either they directly develop chemical industry or automobile industry, or they directly realize democratic elections.&1t;/p>

China, in later generations, followed this development model and only took 35 years to realize the process that Westerners had completed in 30 years. Of course, there was still 30 years of preparation before, tightening the belt gave China its own industrial system. Although the industrial revolution in those 30 years also failed, it left a foundation.&1t;/p>

At this time, the industrial revolution of the Ming Dynasty actually had a little shadow of leap forward, but the leap forward was relatively small. In the initial stage, for example, Zhu Youxiao did not develop rural handicrafts, but the commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty was proliferated, and in fact it had this foundation. In the second stage of planned production, the commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty also had a certain foundation.&1t;/p>

However, such a foundation is relatively strong in the south, and the commodity market in the north is still relatively backward. However, with the emergence of steam engines, commodity production began to move smoothly towards large-scale production. Through reform, the government began to intervene strongly to maintain local order and organize the population to develop large-scale commodity production.&1t;/p>

Therefore, the industrialization process of the Ming Dynasty at this time was actually in the second stage, and light industry had just moved towards large-scale production for a few years.&1t;/p>

However, the third stage has begun to be implemented, the trinity model of energy, power and transportation has begun to be quickly invested in construction under the intervention of the court.&1t;/p>

In the four stages of large-scale production of steel, chemical, machinery and other aspects, it has also been laid out in advance, which is also a phenomenon of leaping forward.&1t;/p>

In the fifth stage of welfare social construction, the court has made a certain leap forward now, and has invested money in welfare construction. However, the welfare is relatively low, and there is no direct high welfare model, which only ensures the basic right to survival of the people. Therefore, such leap forward is not very big.&1t;/p>

The key to the success of industrialization is to build a stable social environment, and the government must have strong organizational and maintenance capabilities for local governments.&1t;/p>

The Westernization Movement in the late Qing Dynasty and the reason why the industrialization of the Republic of China failed was that the country lacked sufficient control. During the Republic of China, it was even more so. It was directly deceived by Westerners and started to develop democracy. I thought that the Westerners were strong because of the democratic system and scientific spirit. But the reality was that during the Industrial Revolution, Britain was still a period of serious bureaucracy and semi-nationalized enterprises (East India Company) existed in large numbers.&1t;/p>

On this issue, the current reforms solve this problem. The new policy reform of the Ming Dynasty changed the previous model of high local autonomy and increased fiscal investment in administration. Even township governments were established, greatly strengthening the control capabilities of the official local governments. At the same time, under the implementation of mercantilism, the official can prevent farmers from investing in large-scale commodity production, and punish those behaviors such as market fraud, maintain market credit, rather than disorderly development.&1t;/p>

Before, when the northern market economy was not large, Zhu Youxiao carried out large-scale production of commodities by obtaining external markets. At this time, the second and third stages of development were carried out at the same time, mainly because of the rapid technological progress, and the northern commodity economy market was also cultivated.&1t;/p>

As the reforms in Huguang and Huaihe River Basins come on track, the next reform goal has gradually emerged, that is, the Jiangnan region.&1t;/p>

The resistance to reform in the Jiangnan region is undoubtedly the greatest. However, once the reform is implemented, it is the easiest place. Because the Jiangnan region has completed the first and second stages of industrialization. In the past, the Jiangnan region of the Ming Dynasty was the most severely flooded in commodity economy, and it is also the place where the large-scale production of light industrial commodities is the most concentrated.&1t;/p>

Once the reform is implemented, the court can directly carry out the third phase of the exhibition in the Jiangnan region, and then develop a trinity model of energy, power and transportation.&1t;/p>

Energy is nothing more than coal, power is nothing more than steam engines, and transportation is naturally roads and railways. If these things are done, the Jiangnan economy will fly, which will cause a lot of taxes to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

Therefore, the reform dividend is the most attractive.&1t;/p>

At the same time, it was also a place where large private capital merchants in the Ming Dynasty gathered together. The reforms in the region were completed, which was of critical significance to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

The state-owned capital consortium interest group founded by Zhu Youxiao fully understands this truth and begins to make quick arrangements when reforming Jiangnan in the future.&1t;/p>

First, continue to differentiate the private capital forces in Jiangnan, absorb a group of private businessmen to come into the interest groups of the consortium, and become peripheral forces. Second, speed up public opinion propaganda, strive for support from the ordinary industrial and commercial classes for reform, and let the people fully realize the benefits of reform.&1t;/p>

…&1t;/p>

At this time, with the construction of railways and the expansion of overseas trade in the north, the large-scale production of light industry was very fast. State-owned textile factories and private textile factories emerged in large numbers, and the textile industry was very fast. The popularization of steam engines made a huge leap in productivity. Railways revitalized the commodity economy market and expanded it, which reduced the cost of commodity transportation. The huge market has spawned a large number of light industrial products on a large scale.&1t;/p>

The profits of these factories are very considerable, and many businessmen make money by opening factories. After tasting the sweetness, more people invest their capital in this field.&1t;/p>

In addition to the factories in the industrial zone, many township enterprises have also been exhibited in various places.&1t;/p>

After obtaining steam engine equipment, these township enterprises began to be used in many production fields. The emergence of these township enterprises has created many jobs for township farmers.&1t;/p>

There are also many township enterprises, and handicrafts do not use steam engines, but their products also have a large market with the development of overseas trade and the development of local markets.&1t;/p>

In the light industry, state-owned enterprises have low monopoly. Even in the textile industry, private enterprises can also show their advantages. Nowadays, state-owned enterprises can show their advantages in the textile industry, mainly in terms of equipment. However, private enterprises can also buy textile equipment powered by steam engines. The market competition between state-owned enterprises and private enterprises in the textile industry exists. This kind of competition can eliminate those inefficient enterprises.&1t;/p>

In addition to the textile industry, many other light industrial commodities are produced by these township enterprises. Because the transportation in the past was not so high, these township enterprises each have their own local market advantages. The existence of these enterprises has greatly improved people's livelihood. After all, light industrial commodities are related to the quality of life of the people.&1t;/p>

The fastest popularization of steam engines is the textile industry, as well as the grain industry and sugar pressing industry, which greatly reduces the production cost of textile and commercial grain, thus creating a profit margin. The greatest competitiveness lies in leading, and leading means strong competitiveness.&1t;/p>

In essence, it improves productivity. In those fields, labor input is saved, so that other labor can engage in construction and production activities in other fields.&1t;/p>

At this time, more and more township enterprises were using steam engines. In the provinces of the new policy, light industries were blooming everywhere and flowers were blooming.&1t;/p>

Local governments were also influenced by the court's mercantilism and were very concerned about local industrial and commercial exhibitions. Local industry and commerce also mean the problem of wallets. Whether more taxes can be collected depends on whether local industry and commerce are prosperous. After some reforms in agricultural tax, although they can receive a lot of taxes, they are not as promising as industry and commerce.&1t;/p>

There are already many businessmen in the Jiangnan region who are also salivating about steam engines because they do not have steam engines and are losing ground in market competition. Their factories can only be closed and closed down. If they have steam engines, everything will be different.&1t;/p>

Today, the atmosphere of resisting reform in Jiangnan has damaged the interests of factory owners and workshop owners. This has made many small and medium-sized businessmen in Jiangnan become groups that support the reform of the new policy.&1t;/p>

With the prosperity of the textile industry in the Ming Dynasty, it was exported overseas in large quantities, and the internal market was also huge, and commercial cotton production also began to develop, most of which was local production. At the same time, Luzon and Jawa Island, as well as colonies in Australia and America will also produce some cotton.&1t;/p>

Especially for immigration from the Kingsoft Bay area, cotton planting is the local pillar industry.&1t;/p>

The cotton planting industry in the Yellow River Delta is developing very rapidly, and its scale continues to expand year by year. It can be said to be the largest cotton-producing area in the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

The cotton-producing areas in the Western Regions were closely followed. In the 14th year of the Tianqi period, the cotton planting area in the Western Regions had increased to a scale of 1.50,000 mu.&1t;/p>

The third largest cotton-producing area is the Jiangnan region. The raw silk and cotton industry here are still prosperous, especially the raw silk industry, which is even more prosperous at this time.&1t;/p>

In addition, India has also become a cotton importer in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty purchased cotton from India, then produced it into cotton cloth and then exported it back. As soon as it goes, it earned industrial added value.&1t;/p>

Daming is doing business overseas and the products are extremely complete.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty's textiles, raw silk, porcelain, glass, steel products, tea, spices, medicinal materials, various handicrafts, and military equipment can all be exported.&1t;/p>

However, imported things are basically raw materials, and all kinds of raw materials are shipped back as long as they are available. Sometimes there is not enough stuff to put in the basin or even a bunch of shells back. For example, black people in some areas of Africa have gold and gems, but no commodities, such as black people in the Congo region in later generations.&1t;/p>

The merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty transported a bunch of valuable pottery and other items, and they could exchange them for a lot of gold and gems. When they came back, they didn’t have any commodity basins. Many times they even transported a bunch of wood back. Anyway, they didn’t have any good luck. If they transported some wood back, they could also get some money, so as not to waste their transportation capacity.&1t;/p>

The export value of the Ming Dynasty's commodities was much higher than the value of imported raw materials and some local specialties, forming a large surplus.&1t;/p>

Such trade is not lasting, so in some countries, the capital of the Ming Dynasty has begun to invest. For example, North Korea and the Indochina Peninsula, North Korea is developing various raw material mining industries, mainly minerals, wood, fisheries, etc., and then exchanges money for the Ming Dynasty and imports goods.&1t;/p>

The Indochina Peninsula mainly exports rice, as well as various tropical agricultural products and resources to the Ming Dynasty, and then continues to import the Ming Dynasty's goods.&1t;/p>

At the same time, there is another very special item brought back by the Ming Dynasty, that is, slaves.&1t;/p>

In this era of under-productivity, the slave trade was very common, and slavery was widely present all over the world, and even some feudal dynasties had slaves.&1t;/p>

For these slaves, Daming brought them back, they were basically used as contract workers. The employer would provide food and accommodation, and would give him some pocket money and a little freedom. These slaves were transported to mines or cotton plantations to work.&1t;/p>

At this time, Daming needed a large amount of cotton, and the textile industry was gradually becoming the most important export commodity. After all, textiles are a commodity that everyone needs. Daming's textiles can be eaten in any country.&1t;/p>

Indian laborers played a role in cotton production in overseas colonies. Because there were more Indians in the Bangladesh region, it caused the problem of overpower. The Ming Dynasty needed workers in many colonies, especially cotton plantations and pastures.&1t;/p>

Although these Indian workers are a little lazy, they are still fine to put sheep, pick cotton, and plant sugarcane, and many Indians are still more skilled.&1t;/p>

In addition to Indian laborers, North Korean laborers left North Korea earlier and worked in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

These workers are collectively employed, all laborers come here, and they are sent back after working for a certain period of time. The daily management is relatively strict to avoid social security problems.&1t;/p>

These actions of the Ming Dynasty are also plundering the world's demographic dividend.&1t;/p>

After the wages that were taken back to their homeland by these workers, they would enter circulation, thereby increasing the ability to import goods and allowing them to have money to continue to consume Ming Dynasty goods. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
