Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Chapter 504 Crossing the river by touching Yanhua’s tail

One month later.

Simon Gu.

Choros department.

Next to an open cast iron mine.

The sound of hammering nails could be heard constantly coming from a large factory building.

Black smoke billowed from the factory building.

Next to the wooden fence outside the factory, Mongolian infantry and cavalry were arrayed for patrol and protection.

Ta-ta-ta...

When the sound of horse hooves and waves of dust appear in the distance.

Woo woo woo...

The patrolling Mongolian cavalry blew the horn immediately.

After a while, a group of cavalry escorted several men wearing similar new Yanhua clothing but wearing traditional Mongolian hair accessories.

The patrolling Mongolian cavalry released their alert after seeing the people in the team.

The three leaders of Ximengu, headed by Mahamu, Taiping, and Batu Polo, under the domineering escort of hundreds of elite cavalry, rode their horses into the "camp" surrounding the city.

Mahamu turned over and dismounted.

He threw the riding whip to his entourage and asked loudly: "Where are you having fun?"

"Father!"

Inside the factory, a young and middle-aged man wearing Mongolian robes walked out.

Mahamu frowned at the casual attire, and snatched the riding crop that he had just thrown to his entourage.

Snapped!

The whip continued to beat Tu Huan hard, "Who asked you to continue wearing the robe? Now, what I, the head of the Choros family, said has no effect!"

Bang bang bang...

While Mahamu was cursing, the whip in his hand did not stop at all, and struck Tuohuan at a faster and heavier speed.

He refused to hide or dodge, gritting his teeth and accepting it, he raised his head stubbornly and shouted: "Father, Mongolian clothing is the tradition of our Mongolians. If we throw away all the Mongolian traditions, are we still Mongolians? Then we might as well be , surrender directly to Yanhua and become a Yanhua person!"

"Okay, okay..."

Mahamu gasped...

"Mahamu!"

"If you beat me again, I will kill you!"

Taiping and Batu Polo saw that Mahamu was angry with him for righteousness and annihilating his relatives, so they hurriedly rushed forward, hugged Mahamu and persuaded him.

"Let me go, let me go! If we Mongolians continue to stalemate, we will be abandoned by this era sooner or later!"

Mahamu struggled fiercely and shouted angrily.

After breaking away from the two Taipings, they turned around and looked at them angrily. Like him, they were wearing Yanhua-style, separate new clothes.

It’s just that there is no canvas in the grassland.

Taiping's clothes looked baggy.

He said angrily and anxiously: "I know, in fact, you are also opposed to me changing Mongolian traditions in your heart..."

It's just that these two people are the superior ones.

"But you have never lived in Yanhua, and you have not witnessed the rapid changes in Yanhua with your own eyes. Some outdated traditions must be changed."

"Let's just say that if we still stick to our traditional Mongolian robes, the workers in the factory will be restricted by the clothes and will not be able to maximize production efficiency..."

Mahamu roared in anger and anxiety for a long time before his inner fire gradually subsided.

His tone softened slightly, he turned his head and glared fiercely, with several bloody marks on his face, "As the upper echelons of Mongolia, if we want the people below to adapt to the new changes, we ourselves must first set an example. Zhu Di said something Very good, most folk customs and fashions are promoted by the elite, and the people below have always been imitating the elite!"

"If I see you wearing a robe again, even if you are my son, I will kill you for the future of Mongolia!"

After leaving a harsh word at the end.

Mahamu walked into the factory with a dark face.

Under the urging of Taiping and Baotupolo, Tuohuan hurriedly followed.

When Mahamu stepped into the factory, a wave of heat hit his face.

A preheating furnace that only emits heat waves is placed next to the foot-operated machine tools.

This is the hottest, driest and unbearable time of the year on the grasslands.

In a semi-enclosed factory building.

But there are more than a dozen stoves emitting high temperatures.

Taiping and Baltu Polo frowned instantly.

However, Mahamu felt very comfortable. For a moment, he seemed to be back at the Yanhua Factory.

A smile appeared on the dark face.

He quickly walked to a pedal machine and watched the craftsman, who had finally taught him how to do it step by step, leading his apprentice to drill a fire blunderbuss tube.

Until the craftsman completes the drilling.

Mahamu then said, "Come on, show me!"

At the same time as the voice sounded, Mahamu was more proficient with machine tools than a craftsman, and he quickly and skillfully removed the blunderbuss tube from the vertical foot-operated machine tool.

Picked it up, walked quickly to the ventilated window, looked at the bright light outside, and checked the barrel. The excited smile on his face gradually became stagnant.

After a while, he put down the gun barrel.

Shaked his head.

"Defective product!"

After commenting, he turned to look at Tuo Huan, "What is the current yield rate?"

Tuo Huan lowered his head in shame and replied in a low voice: "Probably only 50%."

Why!

Mahamu sighed silently, but did not blame Tuohuan. He patted Tuohuan on the shoulder and warned: "Don't be afraid of wasting raw materials. If you can use wasted raw materials to quickly cultivate a group of experts who are proficient in drilling, it is completely worth it. In addition, It is too few for a craftsman to lead one apprentice, and a craftsman must lead at least ten apprentices.”

"As soon as the apprentices have mastered the drilling technology, we will immediately build a vertical pedal machine and assign them to practice."

As he spoke, Mahamu looked at Taiping and Tuboluo, "Not only do we have few craftsmen, but our skills are also poor, but it doesn't matter. I heard that when King Zhu Di of Yan first started to engage in industry, the yield rate was not high... "

It would be great if he had the convenience of Daming and could get help and guidance from Yanhua technical staff.

It is necessary to teach apprentices and fully formulate various rules for production practice.

Also need those factory technicians from Yanhua.

Those people hold the richest and most complete experience in the entire industrial production practice process.

these experiences.

Even though he worked as a worker in Yanhua, studied secretly for several years, and even provided creative ideas for the invention of the Yanhua steam engine.

Nor does he have the most complete set of experiences.

He still remembered.

The owner of the factory where he once worked, that is, the boss.

When the Ming Dynasty stole and misappropriated the first generation of Yanhua on a large scale, it was already lagging behind in technology.

When this boss sent technical personnel to Fujian for guidance, Niubi Honghong said, "The prince thinks that he can produce if he gets the technology. This idea fully proves that our prince does not understand industry at all. Industry , Technology is very important, but if you want to transform technology into high-quality and affordable products without mastering the complete experience in production, it is just a dream!”

"Look, our prince will definitely regret it one day!"

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case.

When the Yanhua Chamber of Commerce decided to unite to support Fujian businessmen.

The factory owners who stole and misappropriated Yanhua's technology in the Ming Dynasty were quickly suppressed and beaten by the Fujian factory owners.

There was little resistance.

Due to the relationship between Ming Dynasty and Zhu Di, no matter what the prince did.

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang lives, as long as Zhu Xiongying is the grandson of the Ming Dynasty and the future prince.

Zhu Silang would find various ways to support the industrialization of Ming Dynasty.

For example, sending technical personnel to provide guidance.

But they didn't.

You can only cultivate it yourself in this way regardless of the cost.

When Mahamu walked out of the factory, he warned: "Remember, workers must be literate. In terms of industrialization, we will follow and follow Yanhua to the letter and cross the river by touching Yanhua."

otherwise.

When Zhu Biao ascends the throne, once he collides with Zhu Di and is frustrated at sea, the Ming Dynasty's military front will most likely turn completely to land.

And, as far as he knew.

Emperor Zhu's idea was to let Yanhua protect Ming's maritime interests while maintaining maritime trade.

The main opponent of the Ming Dynasty was the northern grasslands.

Completely eradicate the threat of nomadic culture to the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Zhu's strategic vision is traceable.

Zhu Silang was sent to sea. When Zhu Silang established a strong armed force at sea, he immediately lifted the sea ban.

At the same time, full support was given to the Mongolian-Han demonstration area left by Zhu Silang when he left the Ming Dynasty.

Once the friction between Zhu Biao and Zhu Di is blocked, it is very likely that the military front will completely turn to the north.

Even if Zhu Biao will not fully implement Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy.

Grandson Zhu Xiongying would do the same.

Industrialization is supported by Yanhua.

Once the Ming Dynasty's military front completely turned north.

The grasslands and the Mongols, how can they compete with the Ming Dynasty?

Now, the only chance left is to get ahead of the Ming Dynasty and complete the industrialization of the Mongols!

Over the years, in Yanhua, he finally understood.

Even if the population is small and the territory is small.

But as long as industrialization is completed.

Not to mention the huge promotion effect of industrialization on the benefits of weapons.

Under industrialization, the mobilization and organizational capabilities are by no means comparable to those of the loose small-scale peasant economy and the nomadic economy.

As Mahamu walked towards the mining area, he said energetically: "Even if we have only a few million people on the grassland, as long as we complete industrialization before the Ming Dynasty, and if Yanhua does not help the Ming Dynasty, we can still do it with hundreds of people." With a population of 10,000, we can recreate the glory of our ancestors and conquer the Central Plains!"

"And what we lack the most on our grasslands are mineral deposits that are easy to mine!"

Mahamu said, suddenly laughing loudly.

In the past, the Mongols could not even make an iron pot.

The iron pots have become the seven inches of the fate of the grassland, tightly held by the Central Plains dynasty.

Until he went to Yanfan for several years.

I secretly learned Yanhua's prospecting techniques and came back with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

Only then did I discover that in the past thousands of years, the tribes that had risen and fallen on the grasslands had always been sitting on the treasure mountain without knowing it.

On the grassland, there are open-pit coal mines, iron mines, and copper mines that Yanhua cherishes...

Easy to mine.

Good taste!

Easy to smelt!

As long as this treasure mountain can be developed, he is confident that he can compete with the Ming Dynasty without Zhu Silang!

In the future, he will also build factories on the grassland that are powered by steam engines. He has not been able to see them, but has only heard about them!

"That's right." Mahamu turned his head and looked at Taiping and Batu Boluo, "I asked you to search for the noble children under our rule who are familiar with the books of the Central Plains. How is the search going?"

Taiping nodded, "Hundreds of people have been found."

"Okay!" Mahamu happily praised and ordered: "From today on, let them wear the hair ornaments of scholars from the Central Plains and wear the Confucian shirts of scholars from the Central Plains. In the early stage, they will pretend to be stowaways and arrange for a small number of outstanding people to sneak into Yanhua. Go to Yanhua Imperial College to study, and at the same time, collect as much as possible about the Yanhua steam engine production line technology. Even if they can't learn it, they must at least understand what the steam engine production line is..."

Tupolo frowned slightly, "Where are the rest of the people?"

"wait!"

Mahamu only said "wait" and stopped.

There is no explanation for the suspicion and confusion of Taiping people.

He also accidentally heard from his boss that in the near future during the Ming Dynasty, a student movement might erupt, and young scholars would not be able to bear the rotten trend of academic movement.

At that time, these scholars may be persecuted by the conservatives of the Ming Dynasty.

new

The Yanhua Chamber of Commerce is already assigning tasks.

Once a large number of scholars were persecuted, they fled to Yanhua.

As long as these scholars are willing.

Yanhua's factory should provide learning opportunities for these young scholars who are willing to learn industrial technology.

It is said that the Yanhua Chamber of Commerce did this.

First of all, it was because King Zhu Di of Yan supported his grandson Zhu Xiongying.

Cultivating these fugitive scholars is to cultivate the seeds for the future innovation of the Ming Dynasty for the great grandson Zhu Xiongying.

Secondly, these people came from the Central Plains after all.

Especially the first generation of Yanhua industrial and commercial owners headed by Shen Zhi.

Like King Zhu Di of Yan, they all have deep feelings for the Ming Dynasty and the Central Plains.

I hope that through personal efforts, I can help Daming embark on the right path.

When.

He asked the prepared group of outstanding Mongolian young men to take advantage of the chaos and pretend to be scholars who fled from Ming Dynasty to Yanhua, and arranged these scholars into Yanhua's factories.

Truly master the steam engine industrial technology.

Before that, what needs to be done is to train a group of industrial workers who are adequate and adaptable to industrialization!

Mahamu walked all the way to the edge of the open-pit iron ore pit.

Mules pulled carts of iron ore out of the mine along the steps formed by mining.

A small mine.

Compared to Yanhua, the only open-pit mine in Luzon Province, it is much smaller!

'Not urgent! ’

‘The king of Yan, Zhu Di, also walked step by step like this. As long as I cross the river by touching the tails of Zhu Di and Yanhua, I can’t walk faster than Yanhua, right? As long as I industrialize faster than the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Di does not interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains, I will be invincible. ’

A locust hit Mahamu on the forehead and fell to the ground.

Mahamu regained his composure, retracted his gaze from staring at the mine in trance, looked at the locusts jumping away on his toes, and couldn't help but frown slightly, "How is the locust plague? Is it still spreading to the north?"

"Yes." Taiping nodded solemnly, "And the satisfaction is very fast. Even the traitorous tribes north of Yinshan Mountain who have half-allocated to the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone seem to be unable to support themselves. There are already tribes migrating north one after another. , the tribes to their north are migrating on a large scale.”

"If you ask me, this is a good thing!" Tuohuan sneered: "North of Yinshan Mountain, those tribes who had half-allocated to the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Area are now driven away by locusts and have to leave the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Area..."

"madness!"

Mahamu scolded, turned around and said angrily: "These tribes have already accepted the concept of the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone. Once a large-scale migration to the north occurs, that concept will inevitably spread throughout the north!"

He studied Zhu Di's industrialization.

Although he also appreciates Zhu Di's two concepts.

But not suitable for grasslands.

At least, he couldn't implement it.

Once he does it, Taiping and Batu Polo, who are united around him, will turn against him.

Not to mention, he did not have the power to forcibly defeat all opponents in East and West Mongolia by force.

Even if there is.

He doesn't have time either.

If the internal friction of the war lasts for a long time, the possibility of leading the Ming Dynasty in industrialization will be missed.

Zhu Di once taught classes for factory owners and businessmen in Yanhua.

Describes the theory of rural village societies, the employee-shareholding economic system, the elite economy that exploits workers through full competition, and the monopoly management economy.

Compare the advantages and disadvantages of the three economies.

For businessmen, predict the final results of the three economic developments.

Among them, the control group of the monopoly management economy is the Chen Dynasty.

The fully competitive elite economic control group is the Ming Dynasty.

He still remembered his boss's admiration for King Zhu Di of Yan.

Daming, the control group, has not yet erupted into excessive hidden dangers.

But the Chen Dynasty has already exploded.

Before he left Yanjing, many people from the Chen Dynasty tried every means to sneak into Yanjing.

He judged that the Chen Dynasty must perish!

Even if he did not die at the hands of Zhu Di.

They will also be overthrown by angry people.

Those Yanhua businessmen who accepted the three economic theories of Yan King Zhu Di not only did not envy the other two economic theories.

On the contrary, they are even more supportive of Yanhua’s current economy.

In the words of his former employer: "Now I earn a solid and safe income, and I have no shortage of wealth and glory. All members of the family enjoy the respect from the Yanhua court and the appreciation and recognition from the common people. The other two economic theories are just You make a lot of money, but you lose more in other areas! Only a fool would give up greater social status and honor just for a bunch of money!"

Zhu Silang is undoubtedly a very, very smart leader.

He doesn't cover up.

Instead, they formed a theory about two economic phenomena that occurred outside Yanhua, broke them apart, crushed them into pieces, analyzed the pros and cons, and taught them to Yanhua businessmen.

In this way, Yanhua merchants not only lost curiosity about these two economic phenomena.

On the contrary, it supports Yanhua’s current economic system even more.

But he could not imitate Zhu Di.

These Mongolian nobles in Taiping, unlike the Yanhua merchants, have already gone through early practice, and their thinking and vision have been very broadened.

He also couldn't explain Zhu Silang's three economic theories well.

Talking well, for people like Taiping, is also playing the piano to others.

The monopolistic elite economy proved to be a failure in the Chen Dynasty.

Nor would he choose.

Now, the only thing left is Zhu Silang’s summary of the economic phenomena of the Ming Dynasty and the elite economy that squeezes workers and fully competes.

He decided to go this way!

At least, there is no problem in Daming now, right?

Mahamu gathered his thoughts, pondered for a moment, and ordered: "A few days ago, didn't you report that the Yanhua rescue team arrived at the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Area? Send people to sneak into the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Area to see the effectiveness of Zhou Chao's biological management team How about, if it’s good, we’ll invite Zhou Chao’s team to the grassland to help us manage it! Even if we temporarily pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, that’s fine!”

He lurks in Yanhua and is just a worker.

Because of his hard work and steadfastness, he was appreciated by his employer.

But the most powerful person I can come into contact with is this boss.

He had heard about Zhou Chao's biological research team, but he didn't know the details.

The people in Taiping were stunned for a moment, then laughed.

Ha ha……

While laughing, he said to Tupolo: "Mahamu, do you think too highly of King Yan's students? This is a plague of locusts! This is heaven's punishment. Not to mention our grassland, even the Han people in the Central Plains have suffered for thousands of years. I’ve never heard that human power can stop divine punishment!”

"What if?"

Mahamu suddenly asked back, causing all those who were laughing to silence.

Mahamu continued: "Zhu Silang will not be unclear about the attitude of the Ming Dynasty, which is now overseen by the Ming Prince Zhu Biao. At this time, Yanhua dares to send his students back, and his students dare to be 'arrogant' Asking for full power, but without confidence, how dare this team of masters and students do this?"

Tupolo looked solemn and nodded, "Okay, I'll send someone right away!"

Zhang Bei.

In the past, Zhu Biao marched north.

Zhu Di's first town was the New Army, the place where the first actual battle took place.

Today, it has become the largest fur and meat products processing city in the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone.

In the Mongolian-Han demonstration area, high-quality furs and pickled meat products are processed and transported to the Central Plains one by one.

While reducing the price of meat in the Central Plains, it also enriches the dining tables of the people in the Central Plains.

People in the Central Plains can bite the bullet and buy some pickled meat products for their homes during other holidays besides the Spring Festival.

After Zhou Chao, Lan Yu and Fang Xiaoru arrived in Zhangbei.

While waiting for the chickens collected to be transferred, the starlings brought here can adapt to the grassland climate as soon as possible.

At the same time, Zhou Chao was also busy investigating the locust plague situation in the grassland.

Calculate how many chickens to release.

Also, look for the best places for starlings to ‘settle’.

Busy days.

After the preliminary preparation work is finally completed.

Fang Xiaoru, Lan Yu, and Zhang Yu invited Zhou Chao's team, and Jin Douzi who came with them, to visit Zhang Beicheng.

Everyone had just come out of a meat curing factory.

"Your Highness, Mr. Zhou..."

There was a shout from behind.

Zhou Chao turned around and saw the factory owner trotting out, followed by a dozen loaded trucks.

After the factory owner approached, he first took a plate covered with red cloth from the worker and handed it to Zhou Chao, "Mr. Zhou traveled thousands of miles to help our Mongolian-Han demonstration area eliminate locusts. I don't know how to thank you. It’s a little tea money that I prepared for Mr. Zhou.”

"And the following..."

Zhou Chao frowned slightly and lifted up the red cloth.

Under the red cloth, I saw cylinders wrapped in red paper.

Not surprisingly, what is inside must be Yanhua's gold or silver coins.

It is no secret that Ming merchants like to hoard Yanhua coins.

Only Yanhua coins are wrapped in this way.

One stick is worth one hundred gold or silver coins.

Jindouzi glanced over his head, curled his lips, and turned around to ask: "In your Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone, you have a system of employment-related shares, and you still do this? Are the officials in the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone doing this on weekdays?"

Ahem!

Zhou Chao hurriedly coughed to stop it, but it was still too late.

I helplessly hold my forehead, my junior brother is good at everything, but his mouth is too poisonous and disrespectful to others.

"Uncle Fang, my junior brother is young, don't mind."

Fang Xiaoru smiled bitterly, "Your Highness is telling the truth. If we innovators can't even hear the truth, how can we innovate?"

Jin Douzi couldn't help but nodded.

Zhou Chao saw that Jin Douzi was about to speak again and quickly said, "Uncle Fang, you have such magnanimity. I believe that the reform in the Central Plains will be successful!"

"You don't mean what you say!" Jin Douzi muttered in a low voice.

The factory owner explained with a flattering smile: "Mr. Zhou, this is all of our own free will. The situation is now very good. Compared with the adults in the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone who do practical things, those of us in the Central Plains are only greedy and do not serve others. That’s so hateful!”

"Your thinking itself is wrong!" Jin Douzi said loudly: "It is your kind of thinking that promotes the bureaucracy. Now I give you some special products from your factory to do things for you. This is petty greed. Over time, petty greed will It will definitely turn into greed!"

"Liang Guogong, Mr. Zhang, if your Mongolian-Han demonstration area cannot help the people eradicate obsolete trends, it will definitely become corrupt in the future..."

Zhou Chao smiled bitterly.

But it didn't stop him.

The Mongolian-Han Demonstration Area was established by the master.

He also doesn’t want the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone to be corrupted in the future.

Lan Yu, Fang Xiaoru, and Zhang Yu were not angry and listened carefully.

It’s more of emotion.

King Yan's eight-year-old son could even say these words.

But within the Ming Dynasty, there are very few people who realize this and are willing to imitate Yanhua!

After the end of the 29th, at least first return to 8,000 words per day.

Next, there will be a chain linkage between the four seas, the Ming Dynasty, the grassland, and Korea under the wave of Yanhua's industrialization.

After this plot is written, the book is over.
