Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 791, the civilians are more belligerent than the generals

"How can this be done!"

Liu Daxia said anxiously, he also invested in a large textile factory, invested more than a hundred thousand taels of silver, which was almost all his pension funds, and he also counted on the chicken to lay eggs, and the eggs to lay chickens, and the chickens to lay eggs. What about eating eggs?

Now that the prices of cotton and wool are soaring, and tens of thousands of factories have been added at the same time, he may lose everything by then, and he can't help but get dark.

"Liu Jin, is the matter really so serious?"

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it for a while, and it was also a problem.

When I read the newspaper in the morning, I didn't realize the huge impact this incident had on Daming.

Cotton and wool are not food. Even if the price goes up to the sky, as long as the people of Ming Dynasty have food and drink, nothing will happen to them.

Who knows that it is now related to the life and death of tens of thousands of factories, and it is related to the fact that countless people will lose their money if they invest.

"It may be more serious than imagined."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

"Is there a solution to this matter?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, thought for a while and asked again.

"This is completely a market behavior. There are two ways to solve this problem. One is to reduce the number of our Daming textile factories. If we do this, we can reduce the demand for cotton and wool."

"The second way is to increase the supply of cotton and wool. I don't have enough cotton in Ming Dynasty. We can buy cotton and wool from the Western Regions and overseas to solve the demand for wool and cotton."

Liu Jin thought about it and said quickly.

"What about cotton and wool production overseas?"

As if grabbing a life-saving straw, Xie Qian hurriedly asked.

"There are many places that produce cotton, among which Tianzhu and the Western Regions produce the most. As long as there are grasslands in wool-producing places, wool will be produced."

Liu Jin replied immediately.

"Tianzhu's cotton production is large and the price is cheap. At present, some merchants are transporting cotton back to Daming on a large scale for sale."

"The production of cotton and wool in the Western Regions is also very large, and the quality is very high. However, the Western Regions are controlled by Wala, and they are hostile to our Ming Dynasty. They deliberately raised prices and restricted the entry of cotton and wool into our Ming Dynasty."

"Tianzhu and the Western Regions?"

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately looked at the huge world map in Emperor Hongzhi's study, and immediately found the locations of Tianzhu and the Western Regions.

At the same time, I also silently remembered Liu Jin's words. If you want cotton and wool, you have to go to Tianzhu and the Western Regions. Only these two places have cotton and wool. As for the cotton and wool grown by Daming himself, that is Far from enough, a drop in the bucket.

It is obviously unrealistic to limit the number of textile factories in Daming. This will offend all classes in Daming. You must know that the rapid development of the textile industry has made many people earn money.

The owners and bosses of the factory made money, and the workers could also get a good and stable income. At the same time, it drove the development of the machinery manufacturing and transportation industries.

Relying on cheap cloth, Daming can continuously earn massive wealth from all over the world.

This textile industry relationship is really too big.

After all, the importance of cloth in the foreign trade of Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more prominent.

After all, silk and porcelain are expensive and high-value items. Although there is demand, the quantity is limited after all. Cloth is different.

Everyone needs to wear clothes, and clothes will be worn out and worn out, and they must be replaced with new ones. The trade volume of cloth is constantly increasing, and the cloth produced in Ming Dynasty sells well both at home and abroad.

We can only find ways to increase the supply of cotton and wool.

"Your Majesty, Wala has always been eyeing my Ming Dynasty, secretly instigating grassland tribes to rebel against my Ming Dynasty, even maliciously blocking the trade routes between our Ming Dynasty and the Western Regions, and driving up the prices of cotton and wool. Is it unbearable? I think I am a Ming Dynasty. We should teach them a lesson, let them know that whoever offends me will be punished no matter how far away!"

Xie Qian thought about it and immediately stood up to express his opinion.

Since Tianzhu's cotton can be bought back and the price is cheap, it doesn't matter, just send someone to buy it.

Everyone is even thinking about whether they can learn from the Western Union and find a way to invade Tianzhu. By then, they will make a fortune growing cotton in Tianzhu.

Tianzhu is a trivial matter, easy to bully, and easy to occupy.

Only in the Western Regions, the Ming Dynasty defeated the Tatars, leaving Oara. The descendants of Genghis Khan are still dominating the vast grasslands. They must be defeated and this Western Regions should also be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

As for saying that Wala is staring at Daming, this is nonsense.

To be honest, Wala is more anxious than anyone else now, Daming is too powerful.

The little Tatar princes all died at the hands of the Ming army. In the past two years, the Ming Dynasty fought against the outside world and won many battles. Under the reform of the military system, the Ming army's combat power was extremely strong.

Among other things, the Wala Junggar tribe who were killed by the Daming troops stationed in Gansu alone were terrified. At the same time, on the grassland, Daming was still training a powerful cavalry with a scale of [-]. The existence of these cavalry made the entire grassland panic Very quiet.

Waladu had sent people to Daming several times to pay tribute to Emperor Hongzhi, hoping to become a vassal state of Ming Dynasty, but Emperor Hongzhi refused decisively every time.

vassal state?
Except for North Korea, Daming's vassal states have basically been severely beaten by Daming, and only after being beaten up will they be honest.

Like the country of Wa, now the country of Wa is very honest, paying tribute every year is very attentive, even more attentive than North Korea, this is the benefit of being afraid of beating.

What's more, Emperor Hongzhi didn't intend to create any vassal state in the Western Regions. This place belonged to the Central Plains Dynasty in the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, so he planned to regain it from the beginning.

It is true that Wala encouraged grassland tribes to defect to Ming Dynasty, and some tribes did defect to Daming and defected to Wala.

But the tribes that defected from Daming did not end well. Daming has [-] cavalry on the grassland. Once they receive the news, under the iron hooves, they will let the grassland people know that Daming not only has salt and food, but also iron cavalry and scimitars. .

Everyone understands.

Xie Qian's purpose is very simple, in fact, it is nothing more than to find an excuse to use troops against the Western Regions.

Originally, Emperor Hongzhi planned to use troops against the Western Regions this year, but at that time the Nanyang countries were very happy, so he sent troops to Nanyang first. In order to avoid the pressure brought by the two-front battle, this allowed the Western Regions to spend another year. Ann birthday.

Next year is definitely going to use troops against the Western Regions.

Now that cotton is needed again, it is natural to find any excuse.

"Your Majesty, I think what Xie Gong said is true."

"Wala is ambitious. He wants to dominate the grassland. He stares at my Ming Dynasty like a tiger. It's really a wolf's ambition. My Ming Dynasty is now in its prime and has a strong military force. We should seize the opportunity to solve this foreign trouble."

Liu Daxia also hurriedly stood up and expressed his opinion.

When he thinks about cotton and wool, he is very anxious. If there is not enough cotton and wool, the factory he invested in will close down, and the old-age pension will be wiped out.

"Your Majesty, the Western Regions belonged to our Central Plains Dynasty during the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. It has always been the land of our Han family. Now Your Majesty has made great contributions to the three emperors, the five emperors of Degao, Wu surpassed Qin Huang, Han Wu, Wen surpassed Tang Zong and Song Zu .”

"My Ming dynasty was at its peak and extremely powerful. I took advantage of regaining these homelands, and set up the chief envoy of the Western Regions in the Western Regions to drive out the bandits who occupied my Han family's rivers and mountains, and relocate my Han family's children to the Western Regions, so as to restore my Chinese homeland."

He Zhong also stood up and expressed his opinion.

What they say is all high-sounding excuses, but the real thing is for cotton and wool, and they are so anxious to death. Let alone the cotton and wool are out of stock, even if the price has risen too much, it is difficult for them to make money. Isn't this investment going to waste?
What's the best way?
Of course, it is the same as the Western United Commercial Bank, going to Tianzhu to lay down a piece of land dedicated to growing cotton.

Or simply conquer the Western Regions, and build plantations in the Western Regions like Nanyang, dedicated to growing cotton. In that case, the supply of cotton is not only guaranteed, but also the price can be kept to a minimum. Only the woven cloth can be competitive. more power and more profit.

Hearing what the three said, Liu Jin and Zhang Mao looked at each other slightly, and they could see each other's surprise in their eyes.

These civil servants now seem to be more belligerent than their military generals.

And compared to military futures, these civil servants are really good at making excuses.

What Wala stared at Daming covetously, threatening the Daming Grassland.

Why is Oala a border problem? Daming should take advantage of his strength to solve this border problem.

There is also this Zhong Zhong, who is even more powerful, saying that the Western Regions are the homeland of the Han family, and when the Ming Dynasty becomes strong, these places must be taken back, those bandits must be driven out, and the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties must be restored.

This not only made an excuse, but also slapped Emperor Hongzhi's flattery by the way, which was very good.

"Haha, sure enough, the ass decides the head~"

"If it was a few years ago, these civil servants must have been the most opposed to war."

"It's all right now. Ming Dynasty's continuous external expansion and wars have given these civil servants a taste of sweetness and benefits, and they are all very belligerent."

"Anyway, for them, they can enjoy the benefits of Ming Dynasty's external expansion, and they don't need to pay anything. The military expenses are all paid by Emperor Hongzhi, and there is no need for the treasury to pay military expenses."

Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

The civil servants have changed. In the past, they were firmly opposed to the use of troops. Just like this Xie Qian, he was most opposed to the use of troops abroad. Now it is good that he was the first to stand up and express his intention to use troops against the Western Regions.

The position shifted too quickly.

Of course, benefits are one aspect, and the most important thing is that Daming's current military strength is really very strong. Several times it has used troops abroad, and its own losses are minimal, but it has gained huge benefits. aggressive.
