Chapter 17 Sugarcane Can Leverage History (2)
Chapter 17 Sugarcane can leverage history (2) ()
Yang Jing asked the queen's father to organize the Sugar Industry Guild in order to do this. First, we will not let technology go out, second, we will not let everyone kill prices casually. Monopoly is to make money, and third, it will be convenient to collect taxes.
Yang Jingjing, who was old industries, thought it would be difficult to increase taxes and collect taxes. Yang Jingjing did not have the intention to fight against the Ming Dynasty scholars and officials and elites, and they would still do something in this emerging industry. It would be easier to collect taxes and would not cause a rebound from the Ming Dynasty scholars and elites.
"I understand, I keep it in mind." When the queen's father heard the emperor's "cold" words, he felt as "pleasant" as if he had fallen into an ice hole on the river in spring.
I thought again that this was a secret mission for the emperor. It can be said that he was the emperor's super confidant, and his relatives and confidant. In this Ming Dynasty, how glory and authority would it be. In the future, would you still be able to deal with anyone who doesn't like you?
Another thought of the emperor: If I were the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, your daughter would still be the queen of the Ming Dynasty, and you would still be the father-in-law of the Ming Dynasty... If the war was defeated due to the lack of noise, the country would be broken, and the mountains and rivers would be broken, your daughter would have to die with me... You are also the slave under someone else's crotch and muddy feet... The queen's father felt that his back was cold, his neck was stiff, and his scalp was numb. Although this was poisonous, it was clear enough. If the Ming Dynasty was finished, we would be nothing. If the Ming Dynasty was still there, then we would be the royal relatives and nobles. Thinking of this, the queen's father Zhou Kui gritted his teeth and made a decision secretly: We must not finish the Ming Dynasty, and we should get more military pay. What I want to be the father-in-law, not the muddy feet of others...
"Well, this is almost the case. After you go back, hurry up and try to make money at the end of this year or the beginning of next year, and encourage others to grow sugarcane. Remember, before planting sugarcane and selling sugar, you are not allowed to squander. You must be frugal and stingy. After you sell sugar, you can squander hard to let those people know that you have made a fortune because of planting sugarcane. Do you understand? Don't miss my big deal." Yang Jing refused to let the queen's father remind him and put a tight spell on it.
"Yes, I keep it in mind." The queen's father was already determined this time.
"Well, there is one more thing you have to go to Jiangnan this time... Oh, forget it, let's talk about it later." Yang Jing's words came to his mouth and didn't want to say it. This is the task of organizing a group of foreign relatives to brush the "Jiangnan dungeon". Now there are only the family of Empress Zhou's father, such as the family of Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan. Since Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan have not yet been enthroned, they cannot be called the group of relatives. Yang Jing plans to wait until the group of relatives to "maturity" before brushing the "Jiangnan dungeon".
"Oh... the queen was still thinking about you yesterday and was clamoring to see you. You should go to see the queen now. Don't let the queen wait anxiously." Yang Jie asked the queen's father to see the queen, and his intention was to dispel the queen's father's doubts so that he could do his own things with peace of mind.
"I thank the emperor for his kindness." After saying that, the queen's father kowtowed again with gratitude, then withdrew and went to see the queen.
Yang Jing looked at the queen's father leaving, thinking about the scene of the landlords, wealthy, merchants and literati of the Ming Dynasty scrambling to build sugarcane gardens, and felt relieved. He thought about the benefits of this matter.
The first benefit Yang Jing calculated was that he had 80% of the profits from the queen's father. Although he was nominally given to the queen, isn't the emperor and the queen one? He is trying to share with you and me? Besides, Empress Zhou has a good reputation in history, and is a good wife and mother. I believe he will not object to this matter. In addition, he can tax this emerging industry according to his own wishes.
The second benefit: it drives the economy, so it takes money to buy land? It takes ships to transport candy, but people to transport people? It takes boats to exchange people? It requires other industries to feed, drink, defecate and urinate these people. Do you also need manpower? Is it necessary to expand shipbuilding capabilities? It drives employment? It drives the economy? What does it mean to drive GDP? People in the 21st century know.
The third benefit: It alleviates the pressure on land and population, and gives this land and population pressure a catharsis. Planting sugarcane must require a large number of people, and this must not be moved from the mainland! The manpower there is the cheapest? It must be the cheapest manpower in the north who cannot eat enough and wear warm clothes.
The fourth benefit: it expanded the vision of the Ming Dynasty scholars and officials. In the future, they went to Ryukyu, Annan, Jiaozhi, and even further away, and brought the population there, expanding the Ming Dynasty's "laboratory" in disguise. If they wanted to grow sugarcane and transport candy, they had to deal with pirates and local "natives". At that time, the Ming Dynasty scholars, landlords, and elites who suffered losses were still crying and shouting to send troops to wipe out the pirates and "natives", so can they build many battleships? Can they send out many many soldiers? Do they want to build overseas military bases? These military bases have been established, so are there any other ones that are not included in the territory? It seems that it has come naturally.
Using a sucrose decolorization technology, it leveraged the historical trend of the entire Ming Dynasty.
Open up new industries to collect taxes. The original traditional tax fields such as iron, salt, silk, tea, etc. cannot receive more taxes. The Ming Dynasty's tax revenue will basically not increase much. With the new tax, the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue can be significantly increased, and it is still in your own hands.
It also leveraged the silver of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the circulation of wealth, buying land, planting sugar cane, making sugar, making money, and then investing in buying land and planting again. The economy gradually circulated and no longer allowed this silver to become moldy in the cellar of the landlord's house. Just as the blood in the blood vessels of this giant in the Ming Dynasty became vibrant again, with obvious benefits.
If it is an ordinary businessman, he may not be able to handle this difficult task.
First, if there is not enough "official background", if you want to grow sugarcane in Guangdong, Guangxi and even Annan, you will probably be eaten by the locals without any residue, let alone keeping the secret of sugar decolorization.
Second, the Ming Dynasty scholar-official class who could not make enough friends, especially those big families, was difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with them. Even if Yang Jie supports one by himself, Yang Jie could not know a few people in the Ming Dynasty, and secondly, he did not have enough time and energy to support him. If ordinary people cannot contact those big families and big landlords, they cannot fool them to build plantations, and they will not be able to naturally make the population and money flow, nor can they organize an executive sugar industry association, nor can they collect taxes. If others don’t miss you, will the emperor support you every day and fight?
Therefore, it is most appropriate to leave this matter to the Empress's father Zhou Kui. First of all, his background is strong enough, the Empress's father-in-law, the Emperor's father-in-law, and for the time being, he is only his No. 1 father-in-law and the Emperor's support. The Ming Dynasty has no stronger background than him. He is now a serious Ming Dynasty elite, and a senior elite, and a great elite who are flattering to all walks of life. It is best to fool and lead the Ming Dynasty scholars, landlords, merchants to Guangdong, Guangxi, Annan, and Ryukyu farming. It is really better to take the lead in paying taxes and protect the secret of sugar decolorization.
Thinking of this, Yang Jie felt that he was really a genius. Thinking of such a good idea, he couldn't help laughing proudly. The snow in the capital in early spring was still very thick and cold, but the sun shone brightly above his head, and the power of the sun kept melting the thick snow. Looking at the rays of new buds exposed in the snow outside the pavilion, Yang Jie felt that the weather scenery was very suitable for his wishes.
As for the actions and execution ability of the queen's father Zhou Kui, Yang Jing did not dare to be overestimated. He did not leave a good reputation in history and was synonymous with stupidity. However, he had to try it out, and he would beat him more and scare him more. There was no one around Yang Jing who could discuss, so he could only let him do it first.
