The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 614

This year's innovation of the big staff is the iron pot factory, which has earned them a lot of money.

But there was no iron pot factory last year, and it only started this year, so this income was not counted into last year.

Zhu Xiangyang finally concluded that last year was still a loss, the same huge loss, exactly the same as the Japanese conquerors, losing money every year.

Last year, there were 17 shi of surplus grain, 10 taels from selling sugar, and more than 5 taels from selling other goods. This was all the income.

Last year, various military expenditures, shipbuilding costs, resettlement, and rewards such as the Mongolian Manchu Army's Dadu Society were spent, including their local officials.
The salaries of workers, craftsmen, and doctors, the expenses of building cities and forts, and purchasing guns are equivalent to 98 taels of silver. In addition, the materials exchanged for sugar production throughout the year are all expenses.

The actual expenditure, together with the various guns, blunderbuss, military supplies, various iron materials, copper ores, etc. transported by Ding Yi, the total expenditure may reach 120 million taels.

Even if last year's surplus grain was exchanged for money, Zai Dayuan had a blood loss of nearly 70 taels last year.

It is equivalent to taking the blood earned in Dengzhou and Jeju to make up for it.

The corners of Ding Yi's mouth also twitched slightly when he heard this. There was a reason why Japan wanted to sell the big officials back then. This place is really a gold swallowing beast, a bottomless pit.

Of course, he now has an advantage over the Japanese, and the local resistance is not as obvious as the resistance against the Japanese in later generations.

The population bases of the two different eras are different.

When the Japanese occupied Dayuan, it was estimated that there were already millions of people there.

In Ding Yi's current era, the sum of all the staff who are born and cooked may not be 20.

Moreover, one-eighth of Ding Yi's current occupation is one of the most densely populated areas in this era, and his occupation will become easier and easier in the future. As time goes by, it will be a matter of course, at most The roads are not easy to walk, most of them are mountainous areas, and there are many occupations.

Of course, with such a major investment, the effect is quite obvious.

Right now, the population here is over 13, the farmland is over 20, a shipyard has been built, Xingang City is more than half completed, and the development is changing with each passing day.

The key point is that there are nearly 2 soldiers and horses here. This is the foundation of his survival in troubled times, and no amount of money can change it.

If you ask the court to raise 70 elite soldiers, it may cost more than 70 a year. Even if you spend [-], the effect will not be half as good as his.

And next year will be much better.

This year, an iron pot factory will make a fortune, and the farmland will double and the population base will increase.

"Next year's blood loss will definitely not be as high as this year." Finally Zhao Dashan muttered: "But it will take three to four years to completely turn losses into profits and achieve self-sufficiency."

Of course, the premise of this is that the big officials are becoming more and more important, more and more businessmen are coming and going, and the population is getting more and more prosperous.

Ding Yi smiled and said: "It's okay, it's already very good, and everyone has worked hard. I predict that it will be successful if it can turn losses into profits in five years."

Everyone thinks so.

Duan Gaolin said at this time: "Our sugar production is too high now, and merchants from all over the world have no time to exchange goods."

"Is it possible to sell a little more appropriately? Return blood."

Especially in summer, sugar cannot last for a long time, so they recommend selling more.

Ding Yi thought for a moment.

He didn't want to sell sugar because the sugar can only be sold to Japan, Persia and distant places to make a lot of money, and it is not profitable to sell it to the Ming Dynasty.

If you sell it to merchants from the Ming Dynasty, they offer lower prices, so it is better to exchange things.

"Well, it seems that there are also Japanese merchant ships coming over. They can be sold to Japanese or foreign businessmen. If the profit is small, the profit will be less. For Ming people, barter is the main method."

After the Ming merchants got the sugar, they sold it to Japan and abroad for big profits, which would prompt them to exchange the goods, and Ding Yi in the province was collecting cattle, horses, dogs, cloth and other materials everywhere.

Zhu Xiangyang said again: "Persian businessman Awei has a big business with us, and the main sugar is also sold to him."

Last year Da Yuan sold sugar for more than 5 yuan, [-]% of which were sold to him.

"This person is very interesting. Every time he comes, he always asks if Master Ding is here." Zhao Dashan laughed.

"Oh." Ding Yi was thoughtful.

"His fleet is very large, last time he came with five big ships." Song Fei said: "Three are merchant ships with 50 materials, and they bought a lot of supplies. He said that he can earn at least [-] taels a year by traveling to Persia and Ming Dynasty. .”

Avi, a Persian businessman, travels to Daming and Persia, plus other countries in between, and only travels back and forth once a year. It is not bad to earn 50.

When Ding Yi had few boats before, there were more than a dozen boats sailing to Japan and Fuguang, and he could not earn so much a year.

"Awei is a very shrewd businessman." Ding Yi pointed out, "He is the most shrewd businessman I have ever met."

There must be a reason why such a shrewd businessman is willing to be paid tens of thousands of taels by Ding Yi every year.

Of course, if he used Ding Yi's candy, he would definitely be able to earn the money back.

But every time he brought a lot of things from Persia to Ding Yi, it showed that he was happy to make friends with Ding Yi.

"Next time he comes, you can say, I invite him to Lushun, as long as he is free."

"No." All the generals laughed.

After everyone finished laughing, Ding Yi straightened his face. Since the senior staff had grown to a certain scale, he wanted to order a reorganization.

Everyone immediately sat upright, their faces solemn.

"Establish the Dayuan Province." Ding Yizheng said.

Everyone's eyes lit up. This was the first time they heard Ding Yi talk about the establishment of a province.

What is this concept?
In the world, only the Ming Dynasty has a province. Of course, the Ming Dynasty is called the Chief Secretary at this time.

Everyone's expressions remained unchanged, and many people had joy in their eyes.

"Zhao Dashan is the Governor of Dayuan Province. The Governor's Mansion is located in Tainan City to control the infantry and army troops stationed in Taiwan, and is responsible for the deployment, training, and combat of each infantry. The Governor's Mansion also has a criminal department and an intelligence department, which are directly responsible to Zhao Dashan."

Zhao Dashan changed his usual excited appearance, his face was expressionless, and his mind was calm, but in fact, he was already jumping happily like a puppy in his heart.

"Zhu Xiangyang is the governor of Dayuan Province. The governor's yamen has set up Xingang City, which is responsible for the administrative and civil affairs of the province (including government affairs, civil affairs, education, craftsmanship, and public affairs handling, etc.)."

According to Ding Yi's request, under the governor's yamen, there should be an official department (civilian officials, large and small), a civil affairs department (storage of fields for sugar production), an education department (to train craftsmen, teachers and students), a craftsman department (gun gun boats and other soldiers), a mining department, Each department has a principal.

"Yao Xinhan is the director of the Finance and Logistics Department of Dayuan."

The Finance and Logistics Department also set up Xingang City, and Yao Xinhan is fully responsible for the income and expenditure here, including the payment of salaries for all military officials.

The logistics supply of the troops, the Financial and Logistics Department is independent, and it is separated from the governor and the governor.

The Craftsmanship Department is not yet able to make guns and cannons, but can only repair them. In the future, there will be more craftsmen and they will be able to make them.

A navy fleet of large personnel was established, consisting of 2 people from the former Song Fei Department of the 4nd Battalion of the Navy and Xu Erxian's Department of the 3500th Battalion of the Navy, plus [-] new recruits sent by Ding Yigang for training. The final number of soldiers and horses will be [-].

The commander of the Grand Navy Fleet is Xu Erxian.

When Xu Erxian heard this, his face was slightly agitated.

The deputy commander is Pilut, leading the original 4th Battalion, and the other battalion is Yu Liangtai, leading the original 2nd Battalion of the Navy (formerly Seinfeld's Department).

Yu Liangtai is Xu Erxian's old brother, and he was also reused this time.

A large infantry division was established, with Song Fei as the teacher. There were 5000 soldiers in the first infantry battalion of the Ming army, 4000 soldiers in the second infantry battalion of Fanjun and the Dutch, and [-] soldiers in the third infantry battalion of the original Mongolian Jurchen army, for a total of [-] soldiers.

Song Fei, Chang Jiangang, Guo Poshi, and Chen Zhimu each led a battalion of [-] Ming troops.

Allah, Naqig, Misa, Madhu, Vika and others each led a battalion of one thousand soldiers.

Mutu, Suozhen, Mumo, Bator and others each lead a coalition army of one thousand.

In this case, Zhao Dashan, the supreme leader of the Dayuan, will not directly lead the army.

Another garrison battalion of senior officers was set up under the command of the governor's yamen, with one thousand drawn from the original Ming army and five hundred added to the Fan army, with Qiu Zhentai as the battalion commander.

This army is equivalent to the police and urban management of later generations. It mainly maintains the order of Tainan City and Xingang City, and at the same time protects the Governor, Governor, Finance and Logistics Department and other executives. (Among them, the Fan Army is mainly responsible for the order, and the Ming Army is mainly protecting.)
In this way, Ding Yi's land and water army in Dayuan has reached 2 people.

Early the next morning Ding Yi brought a team of soldiers and others to the South Wharf.

The wharf design of Dayuan and Dengzhou are carried out at the same time, and there are two wharves up and down.

The north pier is mainly for military use, including Ding Yi's own warships and merchant ships entering and leaving, loading and unloading goods and people.

The South Wharf is for commercial use, including merchants from various countries entering the port for supplies.

The distance between the north and south piers is more than 1000 meters.

The middle of the north and south piers is the place where Ding Yi focuses on construction, including Dengzhou.

In the middle of the two piers is a pedestrian commercial street. There are several restaurants, various shops, and a place dedicated to supplying fresh water, all of which are used by Ding Yi to make money.

When the Dutch were there, there were only a few shops by the port, and Ding Yi occupied it for two years. He has already built more than [-] various shops here, and provided various materials, drinks, and transportation services.

He also builds carts here, which can help merchant ships transport and deliver goods, making it easier for them to get on and off the ship.

Zhu Xiangyang and others followed Ding Yi at this time, Zhu Xiangyang said: "Your Excellency, you have a long-term vision. At the beginning, this place was planned as a pedestrian commercial street. Now this side has the most traffic."

"All kinds of shops make tens of thousands of taels of profit for us every year." Zhu Xiangyang said here, and glanced at Madou from Madou Club.

"By the way, my lord, Madoushe Madu asked if they could open a shop here. They want to sell seafood and deerskin."

Ma Du can understand Chinese, and can speak it. At this time, his face showed a flattering intention, and he looked at Ding Yi.

This side is more than 1000 meters long, and there are many empty places on both sides of the road. Ding Yi reserved it for later expansion, including leasing.

Hearing this, Ding Yi smiled and looked at Ma Du: "Of course, we will keep the open space here. One side is for our own expansion, and the other side is for rent and sale."

"Do you rent or buy your Madou Club?" Ding Yi said: "Let me make it clear first that each club can only get five land at most."

Ma Du's heart moved, and he quickly asked, "How big is a piece?"

"Have you seen our shop?" Ding Yi asked.

Ma Du looked carefully and quickly saw the clue.
