Chapter 1596: Ming’s overseas expansion plan!
"I understand!" Qin Mo knew, "I remember the court had an escort navy?"
"It's only three or five trips a year, too few..."
"The navy does pay for money, so I have to get more money." The 100,000 navy, the salary alone is tens of millions of taels a year, does not count the cost of a sailing, ship inspection costs, and food costs.
In short, 15 million is what you want a year.
Two hundred thousand navys are thirty million taels of silver.
The Ming army had 700,000 yuan, and the navy was only 300,000 yuan. It was really a waste of money for the navy.
In the future, we will continue to increase the proportion of navy, at least one to one.
Many of the Ming Dynasty's finances are visible, but many of them are invisible.
For example, the annual income of the Ming Dynasty's fiscal treasury was nearly 100 million taels. Most of the invisible income came from foreign trade and harvesting leeks. So in fact, the income of the Ming Dynasty's fiscal treasury was nearly 200 million taels.
The emperor's treasury was even more. Qin Mo's private treasury alone had no less than 200 million taels. Even if he was in the Ming Dynasty, he still had business in his business.
He released these businesses privately, and he also earned several million taels a year.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty can achieve today all depends on money to make money.
Now, the Ming Dynasty still needs to continue to spend money. If you spend another ten years, the Ming Dynasty will no longer need to spend money hard.
Although there is a guarantee for the Western Regions, the development of the Ming Dynasty will be faster when establishing diplomatic relations with Dakan.
"I understand this, I'll get out of it!" Qin Mo waved his hand.
Xiao Liuzi was happy, "I'm going to leave!"
Qin Mo looked at Xiao Liuzi's back and shook his head with a smile. This kid didn't speak easily. Now there are only a very small number of court marquises from various places. Apart from the support of the fiefdoms, they basically don't make ends meet.
Is the fiefdom going to develop?
We need to invest money in development.
The investment of a country with a capital investment is only one million taels of silver.
So they have to work hard to make money, but they can only use the name of a ban, and cannot cheat in their own name. This is not possible.
For example, Xiao Liuzi's fiefdom is most famous for handicrafts and tea, so the handicrafts and tea in his fiefdom can be traded with foreign countries.
Or the fiefdom is based on the technology flow, opening factories and conducting industry, which is also allowed.
The Marquis's fiefdom is more like drawing an industrial area for them. These fiefs are all employees. You have to support them. There are also the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, so you can't kill them at will.
So everyone worked hard to make money.
Qin Mo touched his chin, "You can't let them ask the court for silver relief every day, right?"
He thought about it, took out another piece of paper and wrote down his plan.
By the time the plan was finished, it was already noon.
And the name of this plan is, "Lord Overseas Land Expansion Plan!"
It is aimed at the Kunlun slave land. The imperial court cannot eat it at one time, so let more people eat it.
Take up all these territories.
If you take possession, you have to pay rent and taxes to the court. After development, the court will recycle it for a certain period of time.
If you want to continue to develop in the future, you have to renew your lease.
Qin Mo nodded with satisfaction. There were many Lords of the Ming Dynasty, more than a hundred, and each had a vassal state and each had pressure.
How good is it to make money abroad and spend domestically?
He rolled up the plan, put it in the tube, sent it to the palace, and then carried Su Yukiko to take a nap.
On the other side, Liu Chenghu and Chai Shao landed in Gaozhou with a delegation of thousands of people.
When he learned that the Ming Dynasty mission was coming, the prefect of Gaozhou also brought a group of officials to greet him.
After resting in Gaozhou for a night, everyone boarded the special train to the Dagan Capital. Every time they passed by a station, local governors were greeted by them.
It was originally a journey of three or five days, but it took nine days to arrive.
This time, the envoys came over, and the big cadre sent a lot of people to greet him. In order to show respect, they even paved the red carpet for three miles.
Gongsun Wuji, Li Xin, Li Daoyuan, and Li Xuan, who has not shown up for a long time, are also here.
The group got off the train and looked at the familiar old friend, and were filled with emotion.
"Mr. Chai, Brother Cheng Hu, I haven't seen each other for a long time!" Li Daoyuan looked at the two of them and sighed.
Liu Chenghu's contribution is so great that he is just a duke in his career. He is a prince after going to the Ming Dynasty, and has a fief and fief. Not to mention how free he is.
"Cheng County Prince, Duke Zhao, changed to Duke Guo, new King!" The two of them hurriedly returned the gift.
On the way they came, they also had a certain understanding of the situation of doing big things.
Like Li Xuan, he has already reached the title of vassal, but because he is in the technical direction, he has been awarded the title of new king. Li Shilong granted him the title of vassal without having to, but he has not been granted the title of vassal.
The reason why I came here this time was also mentioned by Li Xuan himself.
This time the envoy visited, there was no sarcastic or tit-for-tat attitude, and it was more like an old friend reminiscing about the past, full of harmony.
The two of them returned to Beijing again, which also illustrates one thing: if you don’t keep me here, you will have a place to keep me.
If the court treats the meritorious officials in a bad way, it will inevitably seek trouble.
After drinking, the group boarded a steam locomotive.
"You haven't been back for several years, I'll take you around!" Li Daoyuan said: "Look at if there are any changes in your hometown!"
"There are more people, the city is bigger, and prosperity remains the same!" Chai Shao said: "The city that has never been seen in history books!"
Liu Chenghu said, "It's better than before I left."
The two of them did not slander their hometown, which is the basic truth of being a human being.
Even if they are already from the Ming Dynasty, even if they scold them, they will only scold the emperor and the court, and they will not scold the land.
It was this land that gave birth to them and raised them, and they were not qualified to scold them.
Gongsun Wuji smiled, "I heard that Xijing is also very prosperous, I really hope to see it with my own eyes."
"It's enough to sign the letter of state this time. I heard from the prince that the two countries can open up ocean voyages with each other, and then the people of both countries can play with each other and communicate with each other." Liu Chenghu said.
Several people were very surprised, weren’t Daming afraid?
In fact, they don’t understand Qin Mo’s thoughts.
He believed that with the advantages and strength of the Ming Dynasty's policies, many wealthy people who work hard can definitely be attracted to settle in the Ming Dynasty.
Not only did he secretly plunder the people who were working hard, but he also wanted to attract more talents to the Ming Dynasty on the surface.
Of course, if you have the ability to do a big job, you can also promote it in the opposite direction.
The Ming Dynasty had a vast land, a sparse population, and numerous resources. It was not like a big fight, and the Central Plains had long been completely exhausted.
The Western Regions are actually similar. Apart from trade, there are actually not many resources to develop.
Whether it is Wozhou or Gaoli, they have been developed for many years.
The Ming Dynasty was full of business opportunities, so the number of immigrants in the Ming Dynasty will inevitably surge in the future.
The premise is that the big deal must agree.
