The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 455 The military-industrial complex is too aggressive (thanks to the book friend 359289 for the reward)

Shami Chagan and Tuotuo, like good friends, seemed very harmonious in front of Zhu Gaochi.

The two even held hands and came out of the Prince's Mansion together.

The gate of Shizi Mansion.

The two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then remembered the existence of the other party, and they were still holding hands.

"Humph."

"Humph."

The two of them shook off their hands at the same time and snorted coldly.

The guards of the palace were puzzled.

These two people were fine just now, just like Master Rabbit, why did they start arguing again?

soon.

"We must convince the young prince."

Shami Chagan still took the initiative to say: "You don't know the strength of the new army." Thinking of the original scene, Shami Chagan is still hard to forget.

"Is what the prisoners of the Ming army said true? Many people don't believe it." Tuotuo asked seriously.

More than a hundred cavalry wiped out more than two thousand cavalry without injury.

If this result is true, it is really incomprehensible.

Shami Chagan was overjoyed.

This is a good opportunity. I was about to tell Tuotuo that it was a lie, but hesitated.

Now is not a good time to fight.

Shami Chagan didn't like Da Ming's use of force in Yiliba, and he also didn't want to get rid of them and cause trouble, attracting the Ming army in Hami.

forget it.

Cheap for this guy.

Shami Chagan nodded truthfully, "I saw it with my own eyes."

"With a thousand cavalry like that, they can sweep through the entire Yili force. You can weigh it yourself."

"hiss……"

Tuotuo took a deep breath.

He himself didn't quite believe it. He suspected that the captives were in the hands of the Ming army, and they were forced to exaggerate by them.

But he knew Shami Chagan.

If Shami Chagan said it was false, he might be lying, but if he said it was true, it would be more likely to be the truth.

"If we must find out the murderer, the murderer is Guili Chihan."

"No."

Shami Chagan shook his head.

Tuotuo looked at Shami Chagan in surprise, are there still plots against each other at this time?

Shami Chagan said: "The murderer should be Timur, because only he is the farthest, so that the Ming army can give up revenge."

That's right, Tuotuo nodded, and the two reached a tacit understanding.

Under the oppression of the powerful Ming army, the two major forces that were originally hostile to each other chose to temporarily put aside their conflicts.

……

360 words.

From the Ming Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, the theory of 36 lines was popular.

But whether it is 360 lines or 36 lines, it can describe the development of commerce, and there are businessmen in various industries.

From the deep point of view, it can prove the prosperity of ancient commerce.

The refinement of social division of labor represents the vigorous productivity, which was not found in all ancient surrounding areas.

Academic circles, business circles.

The academic circle also has the medical circle, the mathematical circle, the chemical circle, etc., and the business circle is the same.

The coal bosses are the richest, and their businesses are the biggest.

But every industry has its own path.

Peking Restaurant.

This earliest restaurant has turned into an eight-story building, full of splendor and splendor, and it is no longer a place for ordinary people to consume.

The first floor is the lobby.

There is a dance team performing in the hall, accompanied by musicians.

Nitre was put into the pool.

"This is the famous Immortal Pool." People gathered around the pool filled with saltpeter and marveled, feeling the refreshing breath.

If scholars of later generations study it, they will know that this is the oxygen released by putting saltpeter into water.

So people here feel free to breathe.

But today's people don't know it, so the restaurant has made a lot of gimmicks by relying on this "secret".

The origin of chemistry was developed step by step in this way.

In the process of utilizing various ores, various phenomena are discovered, and then attract people's attention through magic.

The same is true of the invention of gunpowder including China.

The alchemist invented gunpowder.

The main street of Peking Restaurant.

"Jingle Bell."

A two-wheeled carriage arrived, and the doorman at the door had already greeted him, but he didn't recognize the identity of the person, so he could only greet him warmly.

A middle-aged man got out of the carriage and was welcomed in by the rest of the door attendants.

The carriage does not belong to his family.

There are specialized car dealerships in Beiping, some of which are zero-run in the market, put up a sign to represent an empty car, put down the sign to represent a occupied car, and some are paid monthly by a wealthy family.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"Tianzihao's wealth is blooming."

The door attendant was stunned for a moment, secretly remembering the appearance of the person who came.

The guests who can reserve a private room in Tianzihao are either rich or expensive, and they are the distinguished guests of the big restaurant. Those guys who pay as much as two yuan a month must have this vision.

The next time this person comes again, the doorman will be able to call out his name.

The middle-aged man did not stay in the "Fairy Pond". His expression was not very happy, but more serious. The doorman did not say much.

The newly installed steam engine went up and down the ladder, and the doorman led the middle-aged man into the elevator car, then closed the outer fence door, then closed the inner fence door, and then pulled the rope in the carriage.

The staff in the operation room heard the bell and knew it was the eighth floor, so they started the operation.

The middle-aged people are a little cramped.

As the ladder went up and down, the middle-aged man couldn't help reaching out to hold on to the wall of the compartment.

The doorman couldn't help but judge in his heart.

Observing people is their professional habit.

This middle-aged man was able to make an appointment in the private room of Tianzihao, which shows that he is a person of status, and it seems that this is the first time he has taken an elevator.

Is it a new businessman?
After the steam engine was invented, it immediately became popular among businessmen.

Ordinary people can't afford it, and can't use it.

But for Beiping Restaurant, this is definitely something to improve the status of its own restaurant, so naturally it will not be missed.

Those big businessmen who often go in and out of the food stamp bank will take the steam engine up and down the stairs at the food stamp bank.

You can also take it to Beiping Restaurant.

So the doorman kept speculating.

"Jingle Bell."

A bell rang outside the elevator, indicating that we had reached the eighth floor. The doorman quickly opened the inner gate and then the outer gate.

"Guest, please."

"Thank you."

"Guest, we have arrived at the Blossom of Fortune."

The doorman pointed to the sign.

The eighth floor is very quiet.

It is even empty, and no one can see it.

Carpets are laid on the floor, famous paintings are hung on the walls, exquisite porcelain is placed on various desks, and there are various playthings.

Everywhere is full of beauty.

The good service made the middle-aged businessman very happy, so he rewarded the doorman with a penny.

It wasn't a generous shot, but the doorman didn't lose his enthusiasm.

Relying on a salary of two yuan a month, and more rewards than salary, the doorman feels that he can work here for a lifetime.

The doorman took the initiative to knock on the door knocker for the middle-aged man.

The metal door knocker made a crisp sound under the knock of the metal fastener.

The waiter inside opened the door.

The waiters are neatly dressed in black overcoats. Only staff who have undergone strict training and have worked in the restaurant for more than three years can serve in Tianzihao.

"But Mr. Zhang's family?"

"Yes."

"That's great, Manager Zhou, Dong Wu's family, and Dong Gong's family have been waiting for a long time."

The waiter nodded to the door attendant, and the door attendant bid farewell to Mr. Zhang and left.

The middle-aged man followed the waiter into the private room.

In the corridor of the private room, there are rockery streams on both sides. On the mountainside of the rockery, there are carved monkey groups. The monkeys in the monkey group are only the size of rice grains.

Although only the size of a grain of rice, each monkey is alive and well.

Pass the wooden Langfang, and then the main hall with the door closed.

The door opens.

The businessmen who were talking came up one after another.

"Boss Zhang, I have finally invited you."

"Let me introduce to you, this is the manager of the Military-Industrial Joint Office."

Zhang Qi didn't expect that even the people from the Military-Industrial Joint Office would come, so she didn't dare to keep a straight face, but smiled.

There were seven or eight people in the private room. After exchanging greetings, they sat down on the wide round table.The pulp-coated table top exudes streamer, and the thickness can be seen with the naked eye.

Two waitresses served tea to the middle-aged man and set a set of cutlery.

Ivory chopsticks, gold bowl with mandarin duck and lotus petals pattern, gold pan with double lion pattern, gilt dancing horse title cup and silver pot, gold cup with gold basket and pattern of mother-of-pearl balls, gilt silver wine cup with vine pattern of flowers and birds, small gold saucer with chiseled flowers, and gold jue.

For drinking soup, for picking food out of soup, for eating vegetables, for eating fish, for drinking, for holding fish bones...

In a country where more than a dozen kinds of utensils can be made by eating crabs, the etiquette is very important, which may be scary.

Zhang Qi couldn't laugh.

There is no good feast.

He didn't want to come, but he really couldn't shirk it. Now he didn't expect that even the Military-Industrial Joint Office would come forward.

Manager Zhou went straight to the point.

He looked directly at Zhang Qi and said, "You cotton merchants don't want to fight in Yili, it's just for profit."

"If the war in Yili is approved, the Military Industry Joint Office will purchase 40 sets of cotton clothes, 20 sets of quilts, and hundreds of thousands of sets of miscellaneous materials from you."

Gunpowder merchants, flint merchants, copper mine merchants...

They looked at Zhang Qi with a smile.

This is the showdown.

The merchants in the downstream supply chain of various military enterprises have a showdown against the cotton merchants.

Of course, Zhang Qi is not the only cotton merchant.

But Zhang Qi was the first to engage in cotton trading in Yilibali, opened up the local network, and was the most famous cotton merchant.

As long as he nods in agreement, this massive order is not something that a cotton merchant like him can handle.

Does Zhang Qi have a choice?

After all, the cotton merchant is a newly-emerged force, and any firm present here is stronger than him.

Zhang Qi secretly gritted his teeth. In the future, his cotton must be sold all over the country and the world, and he will become the most powerful businessman.

I will never be forced to do anything again.

Although the benefits are touching, Zhang Qi is more worried that the war in Yilibali will cause irreparable damage to the cotton planting industry in Yilibali.

He didn't have the ability to recruit workers from the interior to plant cotton in Yiliba, and he couldn't even recruit people from places like Liaodong, let alone places like Yiliba.

Zhang Qi raised his wine glass.

Everyone smiled.

During the intermingling of wine and wine, there was a war against Yilibali, and a consensus was reached between the military-industrial joint office and the businessmen.

Businessmen volunteered to donate.

In just half a month, 10 yuan was raised for military expenses.

Driven by the arms merchants, the coal mine merchants cannot lag behind. They are full of food and will not give up the opportunity to curry favor with any force.

Subsequently, the coal mine merchants donated more than [-] yuan, which won the favor of the Military-Industrial Joint Office.
