Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 799, the court and the opposition are in a hurry

"It seems that they are all in a hurry~"

Back in the capital, Liu Jin drank tea by the fireplace and read the newspaper, living a relaxed and comfortable life.

Well, my vacation is coming to an end, so I have to cherish and cherish it.

As the new year approaches, the consumption power of various parts of Daming is also rapidly expanding. In the Beijing-Tianjin area alone, many ships arrive in Tianjin every day to transport goods from home and abroad to Daming. The endless convoys are delivering goods to the Beijing-Tianjin area.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the wealthy Daming people naturally want to purchase and spend a lot, and new clothes for the Chinese New Year are absolutely indispensable.

Whenever it comes to the Chinese New Year, it is the best time for the cloth business, and the business of large and small cloth shops, cloth shops, clothing stores, etc. in the Beijing-Tianjin area is very hot.

The population of the Beijing-Tianjin area is huge, capital is rising, and millions of people work here. The cloth needed is too huge, and no amount of cloth is enough to sell.

This greatly stimulated the large and small textile factories in Ming Dynasty to run at full capacity to continuously produce cloth, but it also caused the prices of cotton and wool to continue to soar.

The most important thing is the cotton and wool that cannot be bought even with money, because all the cotton and wool have basically been bought, and the owners and bosses of a large number of textile factories are anxious like ants on a hot pot. Shop around for cotton and wool.

But at this time, the grasslands in winter do not produce wool, and the cotton has been bought out, and everyone is not enough. The cotton from overseas from Tianzhu cannot reach Tianjin in the north at all.

In Songhu and Nanjing in the south, they have already been bought completely, and there is still a feeling that it is a drop in the bucket. Shiploads of cotton are shipped in, and they are quickly turned into cloth and sold at home and abroad in Daming.

"It's good to know the urgency. In the past, I always opposed the imperial court's use of troops abroad. Now you know the urgency?"

"The imperial court doesn't use troops abroad. How can we get so much land to grow food and cotton? How can we open up markets in other countries and let you dump cloth at will?"

Seeing the report in the newspaper, Liu Jin also laughed.

Capital is chasing profit, lower cost, higher price, higher profit, this is capital.

Cotton and wool, if you can grab them with a rob, why bother to plant and buy them?

Without a vast market, who will the woven cloth be sold to?

Now Daming has slowly embarked on the dual track of capitalism and colonization, and there is no going back. It is estimated that if anyone talks about seclusion, he will die without knowing how. All levels of Ming Dynasty will tear him to pieces.

Just like now, because of the soaring prices of cotton and wool, everyone in Daming is in a hurry, very urgent, very urgent.

"Brat, brat~"

At this time, Zhang Mao's rough voice came out, and several footsteps came from far and near, and soon came to Liu Jin.

Liu Jin took a look, good guy, not only Zhang Mao came, but also Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian from the cabinet, as well as his immediate boss Zhong Zhong and Liu Daxia, Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Liu Gong, Li Gong, Xie Gong..."

Liu Jin also hurriedly stood up and greeted him with a smile. At the same time, he also thought quickly in his mind, what are these big guys coming to his house together for?
"Tsk tsk, it's still you who will enjoy it. There is such a fireplace installed in the house. It is snowing heavily outside. You are so good at enjoying the fire."

Everyone sat in front of the fireplace, and Zhang Mao couldn't help sighing after taking a sip of hot tea.

In terms of enjoyment, this Liu Jin is definitely the one who enjoys it the most. Sitting next to the fireplace makes the whole person feel extremely comfortable, and then invites three or five friends to have a drink, chat and laugh happily. This is definitely a great enjoyment in life.

"If you come to my house, there must be something going on, right?"

Liu Jin smiled, exchanged pleasantries, and asked directly.

"Stinky boy, you really don't know, are you still pretending to be confused?"

"Now everyone is as anxious as ants on a hot pot. It's good for you. I went to the grassland to relax a few days ago. Now I'm back at home and warmed up the fire. I live a comfortable life."

Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin and said with a smile.

"Liu Jin, the soaring prices of cotton and wool have seriously affected the development of our Ming Dynasty's textile industry. We all hope that His Majesty can send troops to the Western Regions as soon as possible to obtain cotton and wool from the Western Regions."

"However, His Majesty has always refused to send troops on the grounds that fighting in winter is extremely unfavorable."

Liu Daxia took over the conversation, and said in a worried voice.

He is really anxious, not fake.

When he talked about it in Emperor Hongzhi's study last time, he didn't realize how urgent it was, but after he went back, he realized that the textile factory run by his family had received a lot of orders, but it was almost out of cotton.

If the cotton cannot be obtained in time, the factory may face shutdown. Once the factory shuts down, the investment will be in vain.

And in order to open a factory, Liu Daxia's family borrowed more than [-] taels of silver from the Daming First Bank. , then it really loses everything.

"Yes, although fighting in winter has many disadvantages for us, it is the same for the Oirats in the Western Regions. We can still catch them by surprise. They will never expect that we will use troops against the Western Regions in winter."

Xie Qian also nodded and said.

Needless to say, Xie Qian's family is in the same situation as Liu Daxia's family. They not only invested their own funds in the textile factory, but also borrowed a large amount of money from the Daming First Bank.

Daming First Bank has low interest on loans, sufficient loans, and installment repayment. Everyone also likes to borrow from Daming First Bank.

Whether it is going to Nanyang to open plantations, buy seagoing ships, or go to Nanyang to mine minerals, etc., everyone likes to borrow money from Daming First Bank.

It has also become a trend to use the silver of the Daming First Bank to make a fortune.

Many people just rely on the money borrowed to buy a ship, and in less than a year, they not only pay back their capital, but also make a lot of money.

To start a textile factory, too many, too many people have borrowed bank loans, which is why everyone is in a hurry.

"Your Majesty does not agree to send troops, and it is useless for everyone to find me~"

Liu Jin understood as soon as he heard it, and said helplessly with a smile.

In fact, Liu Jin has already heard people say that Emperor Hongzhi's study was almost overwhelmed by the memorials played by the Ming Dynasty. All the memorials were all requests for Emperor Hongzhi to use troops in the Western Regions as soon as possible.

Among these memorials were local officials from Shaanxi and Gansu. They described the cruelty of the Oirats with eloquence. Say it all.

An official from Huguang said that the Wala people were ignorant of enlightenment and did not respect Confucius and Mencius. It was necessary for the Ming Dynasty to instill the ways of Confucius and Mencius into the Wala people, educate them, and let them know propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame, so that they would not commit treachery.

There are also memorials from officials in the Nanyang region, saying that the Western Regions, like the Nanyang region, have been the homeland of China since ancient times. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, everywhere was the land of China.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is extremely strong, it should regain the homeland of China as soon as possible, and restore the clothes of China, just like the Nanyang region, so that the Western Regions can return to the territory of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.

In short, from the imperial court to the local government, officials from all aspects of Ming Dynasty were writing letters to Emperor Hongzhi, using various excuses.

Even the king of Korea, Yan Shanjun, and the king of Japan, Dongfang Shengren, wrote a letter like Emperor Hongzhi, saying that the Western Regions was the hometown of Li Bai, the great poet of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been reduced to the hands of foreigners all the time. Sad, deplorable, pity.

Now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has surpassed the three emperors and the five emperors of Degao, surpassed the emperor of Qin and Han in martial arts, and surpassed the ancestors of Tang and Song in literature. He should take back the Western Regions as soon as possible and restore our homeland in China to comfort the great poet Li Bai.

What the hell are these.

North Koreans and islanders even got involved. The key is why Li Bai was involved?

When Liu Jin heard the news, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Estimated that Emperor Hongzhi would have a stomachache from laughing, all kinds of reasons for the war against the Western Regions were found out, and all of them were said in a high-sounding manner, even the people of North Korea and Japan were involved.

Of course, Liu Jin is very clear that now Daming has very close contacts with Japan and North Korea. Many people from Japan and North Korea have invested in various commercial firms in Ming Dynasty. Similarly, many merchants from Ming Dynasty also cooperate with merchants from Japan and North Korea to do business. do business.

Because of the existence of the Ming Dynasty vassal state agreement, each other can communicate freely, do business freely, and settle freely. In addition, both Korea and Japan are promoting Sinicization education on a large scale.

"Stinky boy, don't be humble."

"Everyone came to you and hoped that you could talk to His Majesty and persuade His Majesty that you can't wait any longer. If you wait any longer, I don't know how many factories will close down."

Zhang Mao looked at Liu Jin and said.

He had no choice but to stand firmly on the side of Emperor Hongzhi, but he was also persuaded and had to come to persuade Liu Jin to also write to Emperor Hongzhi.

It is urgent to send troops to the Western Regions. Everyone is very urgent, very urgent.

We must send troops to the Western Regions as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty sent you to the grassland this time, do you really think that you are going to eat mutton on the grassland?"

"I'm going to inspect His Majesty's [-] cavalry on the grassland. Don't worry, His Majesty will use troops in the Western Regions sooner or later."

　Li Bai's hometown seems to be Kazakhstan~
