Therefore, no matter how the trial train gave Ma Shiying and Li Yong a "tragic" lesson and unforgettable memory, the General's Mansion tacitly recognized the huge role of the train from top to bottom. In this way, things will be easier to handle. It only needs to be constantly improved and improved, rather than fundamentally denying it.

The mature but dishonest Xiong Rulin had a bold statement at the time, "If this iron cow can plow the land, Xiong promised that in three years, the grain produced by the land under the jurisdiction of the General's Mansion would increase by at least 30%.

Wu Zheng turned to Song Yingxing without hesitation, Qi Daokun and others and said: "One year, you only have one year, I want to see the speed of the train increase by 50%..."

Song Yingxing replied firmly: "I am willing to issue a military order."

Wu Zheng immediately said: "The load must be doubled."

Wu Zheng naturally did not want to position the train that regarded it as a "magic weapon" as a large truck.

Song Yingxing said in a little embarrassment: "If you want to double the load, it will be too much to do so. I am afraid that it will not be solved within one year."

Wu Zheng seemed to have not heard it, "The iron ox plowing land that Zuo Gongshu wanted was theoretically able to achieve, making the power lighter, portable and low-cost... In two years, I will at least see the prototype, how about it?"

Song Yingxing was stunned for a while, and finally stammered his neck and said, "If the prince can provide enough money and manpower... Song may give it a try!"

There is no shortage of manpower, and the one that China has the most lacks from ancient times to the present is people.

Silver, silver, or silver... Wu Zheng was speechless.

....

The General's Mansion is indeed short of money.

In the past five years, there has been no shortage of money.

But no matter how lacking, isn’t life still?

On the contrary, compared with the long-term difficulties of the Finance Department, the market economy is very loose. In addition, China has never lacked silver, especially in Jiangnan. Since the Ming Dynasty, the huge profits of overseas trade can almost be described as "a daily profit of gold".

The wealth accumulated by the people even needs to be dug a cellar to be buried.

To be precise, Damingshi lost a good opportunity to dominate the world.

Primary commercial capital, which began to sprout decades earlier than the West, was only buried underground because it was not properly guided and could not be transformed into reproductive forces.

Wu Zheng has been doing this for a long time, guiding huge existing capital into circulation, which is the biggest financial reform.

There is no need to rob with force, and there is no need to further differentiate the class. It continuously expands the pie, which prompts Jiangnan capital to grow like a snowball.

The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly the most representative and powerful symbol among them.

Regardless of politics, position, and as long as it is money, you can invest in shares.

With an unprecedented inclusiveness, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce brought in all the entire Central Plains, the southeast coast and even overseas foreign merchants.

Wu Zheng does not hold shares in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. In addition to Hanming Bank, a subsidiary of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Wu Zheng holds 1.5% of the shares and owns about half of the shares in the disguised form. It can be said that the General's Mansion has a very low control over the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

This is exactly the wish of all shareholders of all sizes. No businessman would want to put his wealth and destiny under the control of the government, and Wu Zheng gave them relatively "absolute" freedom.

This is also the main reason why the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce has successfully brought together almost everyone's interests to this day.

Not only Kerry Thoren, the commander of the Red Haired Fleet, wanted to invest in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, but not only Jirgalang, Hong, Fan and others had already invested in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. In fact, as long as there was free money in their pockets or even no money, they were all thinking about "sending money" to join the Chamber of Commerce.

Because the annual interest on depositing silver in Hanming Money House has dropped to half a percent (5%), but the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce's single-quarter dividend last year had also reached half a percent per share, but the problem is that there are four seasons a year, which is equivalent to 20% of the annual dividend, and it is not considered compound interest.

Let me ask, who can resist this temptation of wealth with almost no risk?

In terms of burying silver in the cellar, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is a "gold-swalking beast" that everyone praises.

The power structure of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce gives everyone confidence and peace of mind.

The joint meeting of thirteen people is the largest authority of the Chamber of Commerce, which determines the investment decisions of millions of wealth.

This is an unprecedented open power, not, to be precise, a reward of power.

Joint meetings jointly controlled by the Longyou Business Gang in southern Guizhou, Suzhou Dongting Business Gang, Ningbo Yinxian Guild Hall, etc., as well as the joint meetings jointly controlled by the Shanxi Business Gang and Shandong Business Gang, plus the foreign merchants who have been constantly joining and beginning to occupy a place.

The Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce is now more like a "multinational company".

The thirteen members of the joint meeting were not officials, but they had power far exceeding officials. From an economic perspective, the joint meeting of the chamber of commerce was enough to shake any force and cause severe turmoil.

So, isn’t Wu Zheng worried about threatening the General’s Mansion and causing power to get out of control?

Of course worry.

Not only worried, but also afraid.

Wu Zheng was extremely alert to the "big beast" released by himself.

Among the thirteen members of the Joint Meeting of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Jiangnan business gangs, such as Dongting merchant gang Xi Benzhen and others, occupied eight seats, and the Northern merchant gangs occupied five seats.

Mo Jia has become the largest shareholder of the Chamber of Commerce with 10% of the shares and is also one of the founders.

Wu Zheng owned half of the Chamber of Commerce in disguise because of the shares of Hanming Bank.

In this way, Wu Zheng actually had an influence on the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce in disguise, which made the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce the most unstoppable backing for the Finance Department whenever financial difficulties were in trouble and when future money was needed in recent years, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce became the most unstoppable backing of the Finance Department.

To date, the General's Mansion has borrowed more than 20 million taels from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

This is a very terrifying number. Although the General's Mansion had earned more than 16 million last year, there was no surplus, but the losses were growing.

In other words, if you want to pay back the money, there is no chance. At least in the next ten years that can be seen, there is no chance.

But why did the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce continue to inject silver into the Finance Department? There are two reasons: one is the credit of the government and the other is victory!

In many cases, force can be converted into credit and financial resources, and these are the most unabated things that the General's Mansion has.

Therefore, the General's Mansion is not really short of money!

"I estimate that the fiscal deficit of the General's Mansion this year will increase by 5 million taels, and the total will reach 26 million taels." Mo Zhinian gently closed the account book and said in a plain tone, "The prince is sure that he will inject huge capital into Dongfanghong Technology Co., Ltd."

Wu Zheng raised his eyebrows and complained: "Old Mo, when did you become so petty?"
