Chapter 373 The treasury is empty again!

Jiang Xinlong continued education to Adolf: "His Majesty the Emperor also said that we must unite the forces that can be united, make more friends and fewer enemies."

Adolf was confused by the circumcision.

Adolf could understand every word that Jiang Xinlong said, and even every single sentence could understand. However, after they were all connected, Adolf found that his mind was a little insufficient.

After racking my brains and thinking for a long time, I couldn't figure it out. Adolf simply asked tentatively: "The teacher means that I should be friends with Austrian civilians, because they have the largest number, and at the same time, I should strive to turn the Austrian nobles into my friends?"

Jiang Xinlong glanced at Adolf and asked back, "Who is the target you are going to strike?"

Adolf replied without hesitation: "Of course it is the ones who give you happiness!"

Jiang Xinlong snorted and said, "So, are Austrian nobles the same thing as the men of Yici Leye? If so, then they are the target of your attack. Can you be friends with the target of your attack? If not, it means that the Austrian nobles are different from the men of Yici Leye, so of course you can join forces with the nobles of Austria first."

"There is an old saying at the entrance of our Zhongyuan Hall: settle accounts after autumn."

"What do you want to distinguish between priorities?"

As the course gradually deepened, Adolf gradually came into contact with a completely unfamiliar but extremely familiar new world.

The reason why I am unfamiliar is because I have never been exposed to these theories. The reason why I look familiar is because these theories can completely find shadows in the Ming Dynasty.

And this strange and familiar feeling happens to be Jiang Xinlong’s most brilliant place.

A fake with a trace of fakes that are mixed into nine-point true is the easiest to see through, but 99% of the theoretical knowledge taught by Jiang Xinlong to Adolf are correct, and only some misleading is carried out in the most critical places.

For example, the most reliable way to improve a country's national strength is to develop the country through industry. Capital gameplay like Yici Leye people will not work.

The Ming Dynasty is now taking the path of industrial development and developing the country. The crazy infrastructure and the development of various industries are proof of this.

However, Jiang Xinlong told Adolf: "The so-called industry is an industry that can facilitate people's livelihood. For example, housing, our ancestors at Zhongyuan Hall often say four things: clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Clothing is easy to solve, and food is not difficult. Only living and travel are the most difficult."

"You see Louis XVI of France and George III of England, and they are now working hard to solve the problems of "living" and "traveling".

"Of course the same is true when it comes to your Austrian side."

Is there any problem with this theory?

No problem at all!

It can even be combined with the concept of "If you want to be rich, build roads first".

However, by Jiang Xinlong's fooling, the so-called industrial development of the country basically turned into real estate development of the country.

As for road construction...

What are the necessary points for building roads in Austria?

Like England and France, it’s a little better. After all, they are one of the five great charitable people in Little Burning. They have sucked a lot of blood in Europe, and the economy has already had the need to build roads.

But Austria is different.

First of all, Austria has just finished fighting with France for a few days, and now it is fighting with Shagee again. What is predictable in the future is that it will definitely be beaten.

Secondly, it is because Austria does not have such a large economic demand now.

So, the purpose of building a road is just to facilitate the Sangeese army to come and beat Austria?

Unfortunately, Adolf only saw the industrial prosperity described by Jiang Xinlong, but did not understand the twists and turns in the middle.

Adolf even thanked Jiang Xinlong: "Thank you, thank you so much. Dear teacher, thank you for pointing out the future path for Austria!"

...

Zhu Jinsong was shocked. Although he had known that Jiang Xinlong was not a good person, he knew that Jiang Xinlong was particularly capable of fooling him, but Zhu Jinsong never expected that Jiang Xinlong could fool Adolf!

"Next, it's time to watch the Habsburg family and the Sand Goose perform."

Zhu Jinsong said to Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs with great satisfaction: "The production progress of Northern Industry and Southern Weapons must be rushed. After all, it is the order of two major customers, so you must not neglect it."

The head of the Ministry of War, Zishen Yongfu, immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please relax. I will let them catch up with the progress while ensuring the quality."

Zhu Jinsong nodded with a smile and said, "In terms of quality, you can't be careless. You can send Europa's barbarians to the West with one shot. Don't waste two bullets."

"Also, with the full opening of the Habsburg family and Shagee, a large number of workers will be sent by the two families soon, which will also alleviate the problem of labor shortage."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinsong suddenly changed his subject: "Improving the labor treatment sent by the Habsburg family and Shagee cannot allow them to enjoy the same treatment as previous workers."

Hearing Zhu Jinsong's words, Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs were a little confused and said that the four words "improving treatment" are easy to understand. They mean that they make the treatment better, but the words "not enjoying the same treatment" seem to make the treatment of these workers lower than before?

Just as Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs were wondering whether to improve or reduce the treatment of these workers, Zhu Jinsong sneered again: "Don't look at these Europa barbarians who don't have any real skills, but in terms of nepotism and ability to show off, these barbarians can almost be compared with the Eight Banners masters."

"After the Habsburg family and Shagee are fully opened, there will inevitably be generals, officers and others on both sides to be captured by the other side. Whether it is the Habsburg family or Shagee, the generals and officers in their army are basically their nobles."

Hearing this, Zeng Cheng and the big guys roughly understood what Zhu Jinsong meant.

It’s like two identical products. Products with labels made by the Ming Dynasty will always be more expensive than products made by labels made by other countries!

Similarly, Shagee and the noble officers of the Habsburg family are also the same. Ordinary generals or soldiers naturally have no special value, but it would be different if they were the noble officers.

Not to mention letting the Shagee and the Habsburg family redeem them at a high price, just completely brainwashing these people and making them die-hard fans of the Ming Dynasty would be enough to bring countless benefits to the Ming Dynasty!

After thinking about it, Zeng Cheng simply bowed and said, "Since there are a large number of Europa nobles here, I have an idea."

Zhu Jinsong said oh, and asked with a smile: "Tell me what?"

Zeng Cheng stroked his beard and smiled, "In my opinion, why not let them still maintain their original organization? The officers are still officers and soldiers are still soldiers. Let them join the construction site in an organized manner?"

Liu Huaiwen's eyes suddenly lit up and he echoed: "This idea is good, this idea is good. As long as the noble officers of the Habsburg family and Shagee are controlled, they will not be afraid that the soldiers below will not work hard, but will save a lot of wages for supervisors. You must know that the national treasury is empty..."

Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs did not want to pay attention to Liu Huaiwen.

As we all know, the last governor of the Ming Dynasty to Kyushu Island was Jiang Xinlong, who could fool Adolf into a fool. The Tokugawa family in the Japanese country was even played with by Jiang Xinlong. A large number of ronin samurai were sent to the Ming Dynasty as supervisor at a half-sell and half-given price by the Tokugawa family.

Let me put it this way, if an ordinary Ming people go to the construction site to work, they can get a salary of about one dragon yuan a day, which is about one hundred cents, while those Japanese supervisors can only get two cents, that is, twenty cents.

Although the Ming Dynasty gave the Japanese slave supervisors the treatment of food and accommodation, the gap between the dragon yuan and the two cents...

It's really a bit big.

According to the current prices in the Ming Dynasty, an ordinary Ming people can buy at least five fat chickens a day, but those Japanese slave supervisors can only buy one fat chicken a day.

More importantly, these Japanese slave supervisors did not receive their own wages like the Ming people. The salary of these supervisors was settled by the Ministry of Revenue to the Governor's Office of Kyushu Island, and then settled by the Governor's Office of Kyushu Island and the shogunate of Japan.

In this chain, the Ming Dynasty will certainly not carry out any drifting, but the Japanese shogunate will not float part of it, and when it settles into the Japanese treasury, it will float part of it. When it is finally settled into the hands of these ronin warriors, the daily wage may be only a few cents left.

Just this is already a high income that those ronin warriors dare not imagine!

Some ronin samurai even agree with Tokugawa's theory: "Although the Ming people earn a lot of Ming Dynasty dragon yuan, they also spend a lot of Ming Dynasty dragon yuan. You are different. You earn a lot of Ming Dynasty dragon yuan, but you spend a lot of money back to Japan. You are still making more money from our Japanese here and outside!"

Yes, that's the theory of bullshit.

Zhu Jinsong couldn't even believe that such a silly theory could fool the people of the ronin warriors and the people of Ming Dynasty earned dragon yuan and the money from Japan was also correct. It seemed that the ronin warriors were more cost-effective in terms of income and expenditure, but is there a comparison between the two?

Nothing at all!

Because the goods themselves have value, or in other words, the Ming Dynasty has already set the value of a goods in advance.

For example, if a teacup is sold at a price of one cent in the Ming Dynasty, would it be sold at a price of one Japanese in Japan?

It’s impossible to think about it!

Of course, it was the Tokugawa family that deceived the ronin samurai. Whether it was Zhu Jinsong, the Ming Dynasty emperor or Zeng Cheng and other bigwigs in the court, they didn't care much about it.

What really made Zeng Cheng and others unhappy was Liu Huaiwen, the dignified Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Ming Dynasty, who could actually pull the wages of several Japanese slave supervisors to the treasury emptiness...

Zeng Cheng couldn't help but say sarcastically: "If you want to talk about it, you, Mr. Liu Butang, just think about how to trick those barbarians. You can even get to the emptiness of the treasury!"

Liu Huaiwen snorted and said, "You, Mr. Zeng, just don't know that the firewood and rice are expensive!"

"In just last year, our Ming Dynasty spent on social studies and county schools to reach a huge amount of billions, which can be converted into ten million taels of silver."

"Last year, the expenditure on railways and highways reached 5 billion, which was 500 million taels of silver."

"If we add other messy expenses, our Ming Dynasty spent 100 million taels of silver last year, and we still have all the property of Zhongtang in a year!"

"Don't worry, did you Mr. Zeng get money to the treasury?"

Hearing Liu Huaiwen say this, Zeng Cheng and the bigwigs were speechless. Even Zhu Jinsong, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, felt a sense of dizziness with a buzzing head.

One hundred million taels of silver, which is enough to be a huge amount of tens of billions of dollars into the Ming Dynasty dragon yuan.

Although it is a bit shabby compared to the scale of 100 billion or 100 billion in later generations, the purchasing power of the Ming Longyuan is there. The expenditure of 10 billion may not be able to reach this scale in all the small-banged countries!

More importantly, every time Liu Huaiwen mentioned the four words "empty treasury", he always wanted to borrow some money from Zhu Jinsong's treasury, so that Zhu Jinsong was almost conditioned. When he heard the four words "empty treasury", he began to nervous. His treasury had always seen Liu Huaiwen, an old Pixiu, borrow money from Zhu Jinsong's treasury, but he never paid back the money!

When he thought of the treasury where there was not much money, Zhu Jinsong hurriedly said: "I remember that there were also a lot of outputs in the Royal Academy last year, so how much did he earn some money?"

Liu Huaiwen's expression froze, and then he turned aside: "Don't care about these details, after all, they spend a lot..."

Zhu Jinsong laughed loudly and said, "Uncle Huaiwen said that the treasury is empty, so he really reminded me that the third five-year plan of the Ming Dynasty is about to end, and it is time to discuss the next five-year plan."

Chen Hongbo, the newly established Ministry of Transportation, immediately bowed and said, "I think the literacy plan can slightly reduce the proportion in the next five-year plan, but the proportion of railways and electricity should increase."

Meng Fanzhi, the leader of the Ministry of Rites, was immediately displeased: "It is okay to reduce the proportion of the literacy plan slightly, but why should the part that is reduced from the literacy plan be added to the railway and electricity? As the saying goes, the proportion of the literacy plan is reduced to the social and county schools should be added to the social and county schools!"

Song Yucheng, the head of the Ministry of Works, laughed and asked back: "Shouldn't it be added to rivers and ditches? How much impact has the floods in the past few years caused? You are not unaware that no matter how many social schools you have built or how good the railway you have built, it will be vague when the flood is washed away!"
