Chapter 412 The goal after 20 years
In fact, since the emperor dared to let Wu Keshan go to Korqin to be a Zhazak, he would not worry about any accidents. Zasanbu and the two sisters were not hostages.
Let Hai Lanzhu and Bumubutai stay in Shaoyingyuan because they wanted them to receive more influence from Han culture. This is the same as letting the descendants of the toast receive education.
Bumubutai listened to his sister's words and shook his head gently, "Don't you have to stand up, as long as we work hard. Didn't the emperor say that as long as we can graduate from elementary school, let us go out?"
Hai Lanzhu pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid he's an excuse."
"Isn't it because the emperor regrets it?" Bumubutai glared at his eyes and said, "Let's ask him in public, he has to take care of his face, right?"
Hai Lanzhu smiled and said, "Then when will you graduate?"
Bumubutai immediately grew eyes and said stutteringly: "It takes five years for elementary school, I only have three years, and I will definitely graduate in two more years."
Hai Lanzhu has been in three years, but she has already passed the graduation exam. She has tried to do graduation exam questions. If it weren't for accompanying her sister, she would have graduated and returned home long ago.
It is precisely because of this that Bumubutai thought of taking advantage of this royal joy to get rid of hard study as soon as possible.
"If the emperor comes, if he has the chance, he can mention it." Hai Lanzhu touched her sister's head and comforted her casually: "Anyway, there will be no loss, I will wait for you to graduate in two years."
Bumubutai also knew that this was the only way, so he sighed helplessly and said, "It would be better if he could go back to the grassland. Didn't my brother's letter say that it was stable there and he was doing well!"
Wu Keshan really established a firm foothold in the Korqin grassland. It was not because of his strong ability, but because of the shock of the Ming army, which made Lin Danhan dare not continue to advance eastward and annexation, and the various Zhasaks of the Korqin tribe were also very peaceful.
In the face of strong strength, under the pressure of Lin Danhan Anne, how dare the Korchin tribe and the Neikhalkha Alliance offend the Ming Empire?
As for what Wu Keshan said to be doing well, it is not a false statement.
In addition to cattle, sheep and fur, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce built a wool spinning factory in Datong and Guangning, and wool could also be sold for money, which gave the Mongolian tribes surrendered to the Ming Dynasty an additional long-term income.
With the help of the improved textile machinery invented and improved by the Academy of Sciences and the processing technology of wool, woolen blankets will become another financial way for the Ming Empire to export and earn foreign exchange.
There is no way, cotton spinning was the pillar industry of the Ming Empire. The exquisite cotton textiles were exported in large quantities, and the output value was not much different from that of tea and porcelain.
But the cotton spinning industry needs cotton, and the raw materials are not that sufficient. Especially when a major disaster comes, food is needed to be grown even if it can be grown, and cash crops are placed behind.
The wool used in wool spinning products was previously only used to roll felt, which was very delicate, or just waste that was directly discarded.
Now it is not the Mongolian tribes that can turn waste into treasures, export and earn foreign exchange, but the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the court that collects commercial taxes.
But no matter who earns more, at least all parties are satisfied. Only in this way can long-term and stable production and stable and long-term income be guaranteed.
In fact, there is another one that has gained something, that is, the Academy of Sciences. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce purchased wool spinning machinery, which contained patent fees, but the term has not been formally proposed.
Whether it is the machinery that specializes in spinning wool or the cotton spinning machinery that exceeds Jenny's spinning machinery, it has become the source of funding for the Academy of Sciences.
Of course, this is the patent protection effect that under the authority of the emperor, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the Maritime Federation and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce jointly monopolize the large-scale production of the cotton and wool textile industry.
In the emperor's opinion, it was too early to officially launch the Patent Law. The most important thing is that the education level of the Ming people did not meet his requirements.
If we follow the current speed of universal education, it will take at least ten years, or perhaps twenty years, to satisfy the emperor.
The overall improvement of national quality is the basis for the long-lasting prosperity of the empire. Although the current Ming army has strong combat power and stable national strength, it was forced to lift the emperor's golden fingers.
Without Zhu Youxiao, the Ming Empire would inertially walk back to its original old path in a few years. The emperor knew very well in his heart.
What he changed was certainly the historical trend of the Ming Empire, but most of it was in hardware. In terms of software, that is, ideology, it was far from enough to break through the constraints of feudal traditions.
Although the new policies and measures to promote profits and eliminate disadvantages have been implemented, they rely more on supreme imperial power rather than the voluntary actions of most people.
Twenty years! The emperor did not know the thoughts of the young sisters in the grassland, but set a goal for himself.
Twenty years later, the disaster will fall from its peak; twenty years later, almost a generation will grow up; twenty years later, the territory of the Ming Empire will reach a new height...

Shanghai.
It is faster than the expansion of the mall in Guangzhou and the construction scale is larger. An international trade port has taken shape.
Guangzhou is an old commercial port and has traded frequently with the countries in Southeast Asia since the Tang Dynasty. Shanghai was a rising star. It was not until the emperor paid attention to it and set up the Maritime Merchants Association here that the ever-changing changes began.
However, thanks to the strong funds of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce and the strong support of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Shanghai has risen rapidly and has shown a momentum to surpass old-fashioned commercial ports such as Yangzhou and Fuzhou.
In fact, Shanghai's geographical conditions are much better than Yangzhou and Fuzhou, and it is close to the Yangtze River. It is not an exaggeration to call it a one-on-one destination.
"President Sun is polite." Li Dan said sincerely to Sun Weida, the president of the Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce, with a warm smile on his face: "The newly expanded port will naturally leave enough berths for the Chamber of Commerce. Please rest assured that this is the case."
Yangtze River shipping is related to the transportation of disaster relief materials. The grain purchased from Nanyang, produced and grown by Mekong Province, is transported into the country in large quantities. The three main transit ports are Tianjin, Lushun and Shanghai.
Needless to say, Tianjin is gradually declining, and the capital of the capital is increasingly relying on sea transportation of grain and food;
Lushun is the largest unfreezing port in Liaodong. The reconstruction of Liaodong, the Ming army's garrison and advance northward all require a lot of material support;
Shanghai is the intersection of sea and river transport. By shipping on the Yangtze River, grain and food can be transported to Henan, Gansu and Shaanxi provinces at a faster speed and lower cost.
The Yellow River shipping also has a certain effect, but the emperor did not expect it. Under the influence of major disasters, the Yellow River will be cut off due to drought, and it will consume manpower and material resources to expand the Yellow River shipping. Wouldn't it be more worth the loss?
Sun Weida breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "Thank you Brother Li for his magnanimity. In the future, the ships of your chamber of commerce will receive the best care at all terminals in the Yangtze River."
The Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce is also very strong, especially the emperor will naturally give great convenience to the emperor.
