The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 633 Excited Zhu Gaochi
There were two emperors in Ming Dynasty.

One is in the capital, and the other is in Samarkand, thousands of miles away. There are even rumors in the capital that the king is missing. Rumors about the royal family have always been very popular among the people in the market.

The 21-story building, the tallest building in the Ming Dynasty, built by the headquarters of the Food Stamp Bank in Beijing and built jointly with more than a dozen large commercial banks, located in Shangyuan New Town, officially opened for business. On the day of its opening, many commercial banks moved in.

The cards alone are enough.

From the roof of the building, you can even see the shadow of the Imperial City on the skyline. People are not allowed to use telescopes in the building, especially in the direction of the Imperial City, which is illegal.

There are many shops on both sides of the lobby on the first floor of the building. In the bookstore, not only novels, but also miscellaneous books, scriptures, history books, and the most popular circle-breaking theory books are also prominently displayed in the bookstore.

"The Way to Break the Circle" comes from a doctor from the Imperial College in Beijing.

Since its publication last year, it has been loved by His Highness the Crown Prince and even recognized by His Highness the Crown Prince. The book will not lack sales and has become a must-read publication for the upper class.

You can read books in the bookstore.

Several students from the Imperial College were reading indoors, and the staff thoughtfully served them hot tea.

"Looking at society as a whole, if we support one hundred court officials, we need 1 people. With more food, we can feed more people and give birth to more people. For [-] people, we need three Hundreds of officials.”

The opening chapter of "The Way to Break the Circle" is very bold and catches people's attention immediately. It also seems to be in line with the principles of natural things, and the readers become more and more interested in it.

"Year-on-year, from an economic perspective, if social technology is summarized as one, social productivity is directly proportional to one. Then when social technology develops to two, production efficiency improves, and social productivity also evolves to two."

"The food people eat is limited."

“Man’s expenditure is unlimited and increases with his wealth.”

"Under the premise of satisfying food supply, the essence of economic development is nothing more than an increase in the per capita use of goods. For example, more than 20 years ago, a military household may only have two or three pieces of furniture, and most of the households have only four walls. So today's military households in Peking, Even large agricultural machines are now available, as small as brushes, hard pens, paper, etc. This is the essence of economic growth."

“The most important pursuit is to provide people with more commodities in their homes.”

"Then in the process of one to two, there are also one point one, one point two, one point three and one point nine."

"The number of graduates of the Imperial College every year is 2000, and the total number of graduates in 50 years is 10. So with the efficiency of the Imperial College, it can maintain one of 10 people."

"If we want to break through this one, we must increase the number of graduates every year. This is the growth rate."

"The same is true for the economy. The current total productivity of Ming Dynasty is also a bottleneck in the long term. Only growth that exceeds the previous year's growth every year will be a manifestation of the overall growth of social productivity."

Wenhua Hall.

greenhouse.

Zhu Gaochi read the book.

Because of the best-seller of "The Way to Break the Circle", it provided people with new horizons and new genres. Literati took notice of the trend and published many such books within a year.

Some are of little substance and some are worth reading.

In fact, it is the same reason why later generations of countries pursue economic growth but fear economic stagnation.

It is obviously a developed country, even if the economy is not growing, isn't the annual economic aggregate still very high? Just like people don't understand why the rich are worried because their companies have not increased sales.

So look at history.

Relying on the great maritime trade, Portugal and Spain successively became the richest countries in Europe, and the accumulation of wealth was completed in just a few decades.

But the Ming Dynasty, which received most of the silver from the great maritime trade, not only did not become rich, but instead went bankrupt.

This is the difference between volume and trade model.

Portugal and Spain are small countries.

They could obtain "unlimited" commodities from the Ming Dynasty through huge amounts of silver, but the silver controlled by the Ming Dynasty could not be spent. At that time, there were no commodities in the world that could support the flow of silver in the Ming Dynasty.

Because of the upper limit of agricultural social productivity, the internal economic cycle of Ming Dynasty was already saturated, which meant that this money no longer had the value of money.

It only cultivated giant sea merchants at sea, but it did not make the Ming Dynasty rich.

If you think about it from more aspects, you can even find its shadow in the [-]th theory proposed by American scholars.

Why fear the rise of the East.

Because many of their scholars firmly believe in the [-]/[-] theory, believing that the rise of the East and the prosperity of more than one billion people will lead to the bankruptcy of global resources.

But what.

Later generations indeed took another path. The consensus of mainstream Western scholars gradually changed from contempt and disdain to starting to pay attention to it. There are even many Western scholars who criticize it, because facts are facts.

The Holy Cow Kingdom, which fully accepted the British political legacy, is five times poorer than later generations, and still lives in a relatively more relaxed external environment.

According to Westerners' theories, the Holy Cow Kingdom will never develop, because they believe so deeply.

It wasn't until the new century that they faltered.

Yang Shiqi stayed quietly in the Nuan Pavilion, reading a book as well.

He likes this atmosphere very much.

On the huanghuali wood table, there are hot tea made from Fujian tea leaves, milk tea drinks that are currently popular in the capital, and various snacks. The sweet-scented osmanthus cake tastes sweet and glutinous.

From the corner of his eye, Zhu Gaochi saw Yang Shiqi put down the book in his hand, and started to laugh.

Hearing the laughter of His Royal Highness, Yang Shiqi stood up respectfully.

Ming Dynasty is so lucky.The harmonious relationship between the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren is unprecedented throughout history.

to today.

The prince sits in the capital and the emperor sits in Samarkand. There is no more efficient way than this.

Yang Shiqi firmly believes that in less than ten years, the seven provinces of Samarkand will be integrated with the mainland and can no longer be separated, at least for 50 years. This is brought about by the emperor's convenience.

Two smart people, the effect of in-depth cooperation is greater than two.

"Mr. Yang, are you willing to go to Luzon?"

Zhu Gaochi asked.

He knew that Yang Shiqi would definitely agree. Although Yang Shiqi always wanted to return to the court, Zhu Gaochi needed Yang Shiqi to go overseas.

Think about it.

Yang Shiqi is the most suitable candidate.

Boni is attached to the country, and to the east is the Sulu Kingdom. The Sulu Kingdom has three kings, and the East King is attached to it. The Ming Dynasty agreed.

Luzon, Sulu, and Boni are three maritime neighbors. Their geographical location is very critical. They are also countries with large land areas and have strong potential. Ming Dynasty needs to develop these places.

As long as these lands are developed, they can be returned quickly. Unlike the current environment in Central Asia, due to historical and technological limitations, the return on governance in Central Asia is too low.

Yang Shiqi did not refuse.

Since His Highness the Crown Prince personally requested it, as a minister, how could he refuse.

It's just that Yang Shiqi was a little curious as to why His Highness the Crown Prince changed his mind and showed an inquiring look.

Zhu Gaochi answered Yang Shiqi and asked the eunuch to hand Yang Shiqi a memorial.

The person who submitted the memorial was Xie Gui.

Yang Shiqi thought for a long time before he had some impression. He saw this person in the capital several years ago.

The meaning of the memorial is very clear. There are mines in Goryeo, and the merchants in Goryeo hope to transport coal to the country. There is no shortage of coal in the country, but there is a shortage of coal. Xie Gui thinks it will be helpful to the Ming Dynasty.

Yang Shiqi keenly discovered something was wrong.

He did not know anything about the situation in Korea. If Ming merchants opened mines in Korea, with the local labor costs and the technology they brought, they would probably not be able to compete with domestic coal merchants in terms of price.

This is bad for the country.

Yang Shiqi did not object vocally. He believed that His Highness the Prince was wise and must have his own ideas.

Unlike some people's concerns, Zhu Gaochi is not worried about the situation in Goryeo.

On the contrary, he was still observing the changes in Goryeo.

The modern technological explosion.

The West has blazed many paths, and there are many things worth learning. Many new things are not new to Zhu Gaochi, and there are many choices to deal with.

Everything has two sides, and Zhu Gaochi saw new opportunities.

Why do overseas businessmen have demands for coal mines?

As a low-priced bulk commodity, coal was not popular in early maritime trade. No businessman would regard coal as a material for maritime trade.

Great breakthrough for Britain's shipping industry and productivity.

The maturity and popularity of the Watt steam engine, although the British tried their best to keep the technology, were still copied by many countries. Weapons such as blunderbuss could not be copied by tribes, but Japan and Korea did not have major problems.

As countries entered industrial societies, as demand and shipping capacity changed, British ships began to supply coal mines.

For example, in the 50s, Britain's [-] domestic ships exported to European countries, transporting three million tons of coal by sea.

The UK has achieved considerable economic development through the export of energy, and the UK's large supply of cheap coal has met the energy needs of various countries for development.

Technically, the current Ming Dynasty has not reached the level of the United Kingdom in the 50s in many aspects. However, the Ming Dynasty is large and has a larger shipbuilding industry. Today, the Ming Dynasty has three major shipbuilding industry bases, and tens of thousands of ships are launched every year.

Zhu Gaochi saw the significance.

The traditional sea trade method, which mainly focused on luxury goods, has developed the sea transport capacity to transform into bulk people's livelihood materials, and has already made profits, otherwise the merchants of Goryeo would not be so eager.

So combined with "The Way to Break the Circle", Zhu Gaochi has discovered the opportunity for Ming Dynasty.

The need that has been waiting for many years has finally emerged.

So we have this year’s overseas promotion plan.

Zhu Gaochi needs an official who understands the ways of industry, can adapt to complex situations, and knows how to advance and retreat. In front of him, Yang Shiqi, who took the initiative to study in Peking very early, worked in the imperial cabinet for many years, and spent several years in Laos, who else can compare with him? He is more suitable.

After all, it's overseas.

Land that the court cannot directly manage requires leaders who can make their own decisions.

　I will continue to add another chapter in the early morning, and will resume stable updates at [-]pm tomorrow.
