The Master of Time and Space, Earn three small goals with blood at the beginning

The Japanese pirates were wiped out, which was not a good thing for the maritime merchants who colluded with the Japanese pirates.

However, the tide of history is so powerful that they cannot stop it. The Japanese pirates cannot defeat the Ming Dynasty’s navy, and they cannot defeat the Ming Dynasty’s navy.

What’s more, the Japanese pirates’ home is in the Japanese country, and their home is in the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese pirates can be very unbridled, and they have to pretend to be law-abiding on the surface, so as not to implicate their family members in the Ming Dynasty.

The Japanese pirates are like their white gloves, doing a lot of dirty work for them. Now that the Japanese pirates are gone, they have lost their white gloves.

Their power was greatly reduced.

For the people in the southeast, pacifying the Japanese pirates was a great thing that everyone celebrated.

Japanese pirates have been causing trouble in the southeast for decades, causing disasters to many people in the southeast, including the loss of their families and their lives.

The common people have great hatred for Japanese pirates, which is also the basis of Qi Jiguang’s resistance to Japanese pirates in history.

Seeing that the imperial court acted vigorously and resolutely, the Japanese pirate problem was solved in one fell swoop. The people praised Qi Jiguang repeatedly, praising Qi Jiguang as a famous general of the generation, and praising the current emperor for his wisdom and martial prowess.

However, the people soon discovered that they had underestimated the court’s actions, because after Qi Jiguang defeated the Japanese pirates, he did not put the swords and guns in the warehouse and release the horses to Nanshan. Instead, he reorganized and attacked the Japanese country.

“The Japanese country has always been disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty and allowed Japanese pirates to harass our southeastern coast. This hatred and hatred are irreconcilable, so we must punish the Japanese country severely!” Jiang Hao said in the court.

Especially after he dealt with several censors who said that Japan was a country that the Ming Dynasty would never conquer, the matter of the expedition to Japan was smoothly passed in the court.

Again, in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor’s power was unlimited.

Especially Zhang Juzheng, the current chief minister of the cabinet, is of the same mind as the emperor, let alone opposes the emperor. Things that the emperor wants to implement can be easily implemented.

Three months later, Qi Jiguang’s armored navy defeated the Japanese.

All the great names in Japan were frightened and bowed their heads.

Because the ships of the Ming Dynasty were black, the Japanese called this incident the Black Ship Incident.

The Ming Dynasty also took advantage of the opportunity to obtain several silver mountains from the Japanese country, and escorted back 10 million taels of silver at that time.

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Hao threw all these ten million taels of silver into the treasury for Zhang Juzheng to use for reform.

Jiang Hao also learned Zhu Di’s lesson.

At that time, Zhu Di sent Zheng He to go to the Western Seas. Many people said that this was a great achievement and a fruitless act. However, they did not know that Zheng He made a lot of money from his voyages to the Western Seas.

It’s just that Zhu Di’s pitfall is that he asked the court to pay for shipbuilding and going to sea, and let the court bear the costs.

All the money Zheng He earned was put into internal funds for his own war.

Over time, the ministers were naturally dissatisfied.

After all, it is the court that pays, but the emperor himself gains. Once this model does not have a strong king, it cannot be played at all.

Therefore, after Zhu Di’s death, Zheng He’s voyages to the West were stopped.

In view of this, Jiang Hao directly threw a large amount of money into the treasury to silence the ministers.

The effect is immediate.

The ministers who were originally opposed to the navy now all support the navy. There is no other way. Ten million taels of silver are so delicious, and the emperor has promised that at least four million taels of silver will be sent to the navy every year. In the treasury.

During the Jiajing period, the Ming Dynasty’s annual fiscal revenue was only four million taels. The poor were really poor, and life was tight.

But now, the Japanese country directly obtained 10 million taels, and also occupied several silver mountains, and there will be a steady stream of silver in the future.

In the face of such interests, no minister would object.

It’s not that ministers want to take advantage of others, but every department wants its own funds to be sufficient. If the country’s finances are stretched, the department’s funds will be very limited and the department’s power will be reduced. This will have a negative impact on the personnel of this department. That’s not a good thing.

Now that Ming Dynasty has suddenly received such a windfall, the shortfalls of various departments can be filled, and the salaries of officials do not have to be in arrears and can be paid truthfully.

There are also many departments whose original plans were implemented because they had no money, but they can now be implemented. This is indeed something that makes people happy.

Subsequently, Jiang Hao sent people to set up customs and began to collect tariffs on import and export trade.

The tariff is not high either, only 10%.

If the Ming Dynasty did not have a navy, or if the navy was not strong, even if Jiang Hao set up a customs and wanted to collect customs duties, he would not be able to collect a dime.

Because those maritime merchants who were running ships overseas were not honest people, and the court could not control them, so it was impossible for them to give the court a penny.

Now the imperial court has an invincible

The navy used their small wooden boats to transport goods out of the country, and the goods were easily chased and intercepted by the imperial army. In this case, they could only pay the imperial court honestly.

The customs opened for one month and earned one million taels.

There are twelve months in a year, and a tariff of 10 million taels can be collected in a year.

This time, Ming Dynasty was finally not poor, and its finances became more abundant.

Zhang Juzheng’s reform work was carried out smoothly. All the land in the country was measured, and a whipping method was immediately prepared to be implemented.

The entire Ming Dynasty presents a scene of all things competing and full of vitality.

Many people thought that this was just a dynasty renaissance, lamenting that the current emperor was really a saint. He had been in power for so long, successfully cultivated immortality, and then started vigorous reforms. It seemed that he wanted to consider the cause of leaving his name in history.

They did not expect that this was actually an industrial revolution, and that the entire Ming Dynasty was entering industrialization.

First, the capital city began to build railways, which shocked the world.

“They went so extravagantly to use iron to build roads, so extravagant, so extravagant!”

“Why does the capital need to build railways? Can’t roads be built with gravel?”

“It is said that a train is going to be started.”

“What is a train?”

“You know about the ironclad ships of the Ming Dynasty, right? The ironclad ships can’t move without wind because they are burning coal. There is a steam engine inside that can drive the entire ship. The train is just a steam engine put on the car.”

“I see.”

Many people first thought that the imperial court was extravagant. After the railway in the capital was completed, people realized how terrifying the speed of industrialization was.

The freight capacity of the train was extremely powerful. Car after car of coal was transported into the capital. The capital, which was originally very nervous about coal, instantly solved the winter problem.

The benefits of this are too intuitive.

But this is just the beginning.

Later, Jiang Hao opened a huge textile factory in the capital.

Using a steam engine and a brand-new textile machine to weave cloth was more than a hundred times faster than manual labor.
