Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 76 Zhu Mingwang's Greater Guangdong Industrial Circle Plan 【Full order】

"1000 two million taels of silver, what a lot of money!"

outside Guangzhou.

Zhu Daohua sat in the military tent, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Kneeling on the ground in front of him was a middle-aged man who had cut off his braids and put on a Han Chinese dress.

If the governor of Guangdong, Guo Shixun, is here.

He could see it right away.

The person kneeling in front of Zhu Daohua was not Wu Dunyuan, the general merchant of the Thirteen Banks, who else could it be?

"My lord, in addition to the treasury bank of the Thirteen Banks and the tax bank of the Guangdong Customs, the money of the merchants in Guangzhou and the rich landlords in the surrounding areas have basically been deposited in HSBC Bank. You are really taking all of Guangdong now."

Wu Dunyuan knelt and said.

It is indeed all from Guangdong.

Not just territory.

And silver from Guangdong!
The products exported by China in this era, such as porcelain, tea, and silk, are very capable, basically in a monopoly position, and the technical threshold is very high.

With these fist products.

Sixty to seventy percent of the silver dug up by Europeans in South America flowed into the land of China through ocean trade.

Under the one-port trade policy.

The silver flowed in from the port of Guangzhou.

Therefore, the amount of silver in Guangzhou ranks first in the country.

The land was occupied, and the silver from local wealthy men in Guangdong also flowed into King Ming's bank.

Of course Wu Dunyuan knows who he needs to listen to in Guangdong now.

A businessman like Wu Dunyuan knows his lifeblood very well.

There is no one-stop trade in Guangzhou.

These local smugglers are of no value to Man Qing.

If you leave Guangdong with Guo Shixun and others.

These rich guys who have lost their territory and are extremely rich.

It can only become a roast suckling pig that is stared at by others, and may be eaten up at any time.

its so.

It would be better to stay in Guangzhou and go directly to King Ming.

Although part of the treasury bank of Thirteen Banks is also the capital of the merchants.

But Wu Dunyuan also thought it through.

It doesn't matter if these Kuyin are lost - because most of them are the shares of the Eight Banners princes in Beijing.

It's just doing business in the name of Thirteen Banks.

This is a trade.

On the surface, it looks like Shisanxing is eating a lot.

But eat the bulk.

He was also a nobleman of the Qing court.

The merchants of Thirteen Lines just followed suit with a sip of soup—although this sip of soup is also very fat.

In order to eat this piece of meat, Zhu Daohua waited outside Guangzhou for two days.

During these two days, the main job of the Ming army was to capture prisoners.

The fleeing green battalion soldiers must gather together.

All the military attaches in the green battalion wanted to "persuade them to surrender."

With the exemplary role of Yang Liufang.

Most of the green battalion military officers surrendered without any psychological barriers-even the Eight Banners of the Han Army can surrender, so why can't you, a fourth-class person who can't even be regarded as the emperor's slave?

Therefore, except for a few diehards, most of the military officers of the green camp are still those who know current affairs.

As such.

Master Yang's choir has expanded again.

Moreover, Zhu Daohua also asked them to write letters to their old relatives and friends in other provinces—most of these people were officials in the Green Camp.

Imagine.

What kind of shock will these letters send out? Most of the military attaches of the Guangdong, Guangxi and Green Camps, as well as those transferred from Jiangxi, Hunan and other provinces, surrendered [-]% to [-]%, and the rest are not them. He was really loyal to the Qing Dynasty—either he was killed, disappeared, or slipped away from the battlefield.

In short.

Thus.

Can the Qing court still use the green battalion with confidence?

Anyway, when Zhu Daohua thought about it, he felt that Qianlong would definitely have a headache.

At least for a short period of time, Qianlong was afraid that he would not dare to send green battalion soldiers from various provinces to "deliver food".

If all the military officers of the green battalion across the country surrendered.

In the Qing Dynasty, the shop was still closed.

Just go back to my hometown in Northeast China as soon as possible.

In this case, Guangdong will have at least one or two years to consolidate.

Boss Zhu felt that fighting the world should not be like Hong Xiuquan and Li Zicheng.

Instead, establish a solid base, occupy a place, consolidate a place, mobilize resources in a place, and continue to grow and develop.

This is the tradition of the old Zhu family.

Build high walls, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly.

"Guangdong has been taken down, but how to manage it is still unclear."

Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said.

"Loyalty, get up, I'm not in the mood to kneel and worship here."

Uh, this Wu Dunyuan is considered to be the first Qing official to voluntarily surrender—he holds the title of Taoist in Guangdong, so his name is also very representative.

Wu Dunyuan, the word loyalty.

Wu Zhongcheng hurriedly got up from the ground.

"Please sit down."

Zhu Daohua is very polite.

After all, he was the first to take the initiative to throw himself into the city.

Although Boss Zhu was very clear about the reason why this big merchant of the Thirteen Banks surrendered—it was impossible because he wanted Daming anyway.

It is impossible for Boss Zhu to ask everyone to be selfless.

The people he wants to use are basically selfish.

Selfishness is not some heinous sinner.

Moreover, merchants like the Thirteen Banks were actually a group of people who knew a little bit about the outside world in this Qing Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the treasury bank of the Thirteen Banks is nominally owned by our major merchants in the Thirteen Banks, but in fact most of them are the shares of the Eight Banners nobles of the Qing court."

Wu Dunyuan looked up at Zhu Daohua cautiously, and continued: "Your Majesty can take whatever you want."

Zhu Daohua couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the words, and said: "What do you want this money for? The money is hidden in the warehouse and is worthless. Moreover, you deposited the money in HSBC through reasonable and legal procedures. Therefore, the money is worthless. It's yours!"

"The most important thing for a bank is reputation!"

Wu Dunyuan was shocked.

He looked up at Zhu Daohua in surprise.

This is 800 million taels of silver.

Say no, really don't want it?

What a boldness!
This is the grandeur! !
"Don't say it's you, even if it's the Guangdong Customs treasury bank deposited in the Guangdong governor's office of the Qing court, if they dare to come and take it, it's still theirs! The deposit certificate is always valid!"

"Of course, Ming Yuan can only be taken out!"

Zhu Daohua really thought so.

HSBC was originally used as a tool for local rich men in Guangdong.

But now he has made a name for himself in Guangdong.

What is the most important thing about a bank?
It is reputation!
Now many rich local tyrants in Guangdong have deposited their money in HSBC.

Make HSBC the most well-known deposit-absorbing institution in Guangdong.

this value.

It's much bigger than a few million taels of silver.

The news spread that the certificate of deposit would be valid forever before Thirteen Bank Merchant Ku Yinming Wang took any money.

HSBC Bank, and even the reputation of Ming Palace.

Will get an unprecedented promotion! !

This value is immeasurable.

Wu Dunyuan really wants to throw himself into the ground now.

This man's courage is so great that he deserves to be a figure who wants to compete for the world.

"Loyalty, I wonder if your thirteenth line has any intention of going out to sea for trade?"

Wu Dunyuan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, before this, the Qing government implemented a one-stop trade policy. The inland area was not allowed to enter the sea, and it was forbidden for the people to build large ships with more than two masts. In the absence of large ships, we have no way to go to sea. of."

"That is to say, if there is no ban on the sea, the shipbuilding industry and the shipping industry will develop in a blowout style."

Zhu Daohua touched his chin and said.

Wu Dunyuan always felt that His Majesty King Ming spoke a little strangely.

Fortunately, he can understand.

So he said: "If the sea is allowed, shipbuilding and shipping will definitely make money in the next few years."

"Does loyalty want to invest in this industry?" Zhu Daohua asked.

To develop industry.

Boss Zhu's investment alone is a bit too thin.

The best way is to dig out all the silver buried in the ground by the people and circulate it in the market to activate the market.

"Investment. Shipbuilding?"

Wu Dunyuan was a little restless, not sure about Zhu Daohua's pulse.

"That's right, the shipbuilding industry, and the shipping industry!"

Zhu Daohua said.

"Recently, a coal mine with huge reserves was discovered in Guangning, Annan, and a very easy-to-mine iron-rich mine was discovered in Ha Tinh, with huge reserves."

Zhu Daohua stood up, spread out a map, and pointed out the exact locations of the coal mines and iron mines to Wu Dunyuan.

The coal mines in Guangning are nothing. Although the reserves are huge, there are also large and small coal mine resources available for mining in Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Hunan.

The key is the iron mine in Ha Tinh.

This is a very rare iron-rich ore with very little sulfur content in China.

The process of desulfurization is eliminated, and the smelting process of Ha Tinh iron ore does not need to be too complicated, which is convenient for large-scale smelting.

"My king's idea is to rely on the Red River and sea transportation to concentrate the coal and iron resources of the two places on Lantau Island and build a large-scale iron smelting factory on Lantau Island."

According to Zhu Daohua's idea, Lantau Island and later Shenzhen, Hong Kong and other places will form a huge industrial zone. There will be a natural deep-water port here, and cheap raw materials will be imported from Annan and Borneo by sea, and the abundant local manpower in Guangdong will be used. resource.

Coupled with the guidance of the Ming Palace, as well as the market advantages brought about by monopolizing the East-West trade with Southeast Asia, Japan, and Korea.

This place will most likely become the place where modern industry was born.

Lantau Island will be a heavy industrial base for key development.

Iron smelting, steelmaking, machinery manufacturing, and even the production of guns and artillery will all be concentrated on this offshore island, forming an industrial cluster centered on Shenzhen in the future.

"Loyalty, is there any profit in this shipping industry?"

Zhu Daohua painted a very attractive prospect for Wu Dunyuan.

Wu Dunyuan estimated in his heart.

The distance from the mouth of the Red River to Lantau Island is not too long, and it is basically close to the coastline, so there is no threat of pirates.

The cost will not be too high.

If the shipping volume is large.

Of course it is profitable.

"My lord, if it's all shipped by ship, the cost is not high, and it's still a bit tricky."

Zhu Daohua nodded.

"Loyalty, you go to contact the merchants of the Thirteenth Bank, and I can invest with you in a Nanyang Shipping Corporation, which will specialize in the transportation of Annan Media Railway in the early stage."

Zhu Daohua then showed Wu Dunyuan a ship model.

"This is a three-masted transport ship developed by Batam Shipyard based on the Guangzhou Shipyard. It requires further reduction of sailors and manpower, and its carrying capacity is also much larger. It can be used as a mainstream transport ship for shipping companies in the future."

"By the way, the Batam shipyard will also be relocated to Lantau Island, Kowloon, Xin'an and other places in the future."

Batam Island is located in the Strait of Malacca. When Guangdong is conquered, the center of Ming Palace will definitely be transferred to Guangzhou.

At that time, it is not suitable to have too many factories on Batam Island.

And it only needs to be a free city for trade re-export.

Just when Zhu Daohua and the representatives of the big merchants in Guangdong were imagining the bright future of the Greater Guangdong business circle.

A piece of news spread in the city of Guangzhou.

And quickly made the rich and wealthy in the entire Guangzhou city collectively restless.

"Hey, have you heard? HSBC is not a big British bank at all, it's a rebellious bank."

"Bah, bah, what's Ni Ming, called Daming!"

"Yes, yes, it's Daming! Daming's bank."

"Look, this is the method. I think this Qingtar should die."

"Hu Wu has a hundred years of luck, and this tartar has been around for more than 100 years, which is enough."

"Why don't you explain why Wang Dajun hasn't entered the city? What if Qiu Ba in the city is in a hurry to attack the bank of HSBC Bank?"

"Do it? What do you do? My second uncle's nephew's cousin works as an errand in Guangzhou City, and the money of those Qiu Batou is also deposited in HSBC!"

"Oh oh oh, don't worry, don't worry."

With the evacuation of Guo Shixun, the governor of Guangdong, and the evacuation of the old, weak, women and children in Guangzhou, everyone in Guangzhou knew about it.

It was only a matter of time before the city's head was replaced with the Sun and Moon flag.

Public opinion in the city did not affect Zhao Wen, the prefect of Guangzhou.

Zhao Wen's mansion at the foot of Yuexiu Mountain.

It was built by a master from Suzhou.

Pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings.

At this time, Lao Zhao was quite entangled.

It's not about money - the prefect of Guangzhou is of course very rich.

Guangzhou, which is a port of trade, is a magistrate here, although there are governors of Guangdong, governors of Guangdong and Guangxi, and a general of Guangzhou who cannot be offended.

It can be said that compared with the magistrates in other places, he is a lot more aggrieved.

But it's worth it.

Don't say anything else.

Lao Zhao has been the prefect of Guangzhou for two years.

The money he earns is several times more than the sum of his official positions in other places.

The HSBC certificate of deposit in his pocket is worth more than 6 taels of silver.

The original plan was that when the prefect of Guangzhou resigned, he could return to his hometown in Jiangxi and buy hundreds of acres of land.

Farming and reading heirlooms.

This is 200 years of wealth.

The old Zhao family has grown from a small landlord with only a few tens of acres of land to a large landlord with hundreds of acres of land, all thanks to Zhao Wenzhong, the wealth that he got as an official.

just now
In a peaceful and prosperous age, Fan Hai actually came here against the Ming Dynasty, and he was about to occupy Guangdong.

This peaceful and prosperous age will evolve into a chaotic world of disputes in the Northern Qing Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty.

It is still unclear whether my hometown in Jiangxi will be the territory of the Qing Dynasty in the future.

as parent officer.

When the city is broken, it is inevitable to hang it on the beam, come and live with the city, and die to repay the country's grace.

It's just that the more than 6 taels of silver is reluctant to part with it anyway.

and hanging
Just thinking about it hurts.

Just when Lao Zhao was struggling.

The housekeeper of the Zhao residence stumbled and ran in. ,

"Master, it's not good!"

"HSBC is an unscrupulous industry!"
