Chapter 500: Encouraging Exit Order

The move to relocate important factories and the relocation of primary, low-end and high-pollution factories was summarized by Zhu Youxiao as two strategies for developing the mainland and developing outside the border areas.

Now, Zhu Youxiao first summoned the ministers to discuss the strategy on developing outside the pass.

"In my opinion, since most primary factories are private, if we want to move primary and low-end high-pollution factories outside, the court must allocate national funds to stimulate private merchants to take the initiative to go to the bitter and cold areas outside the pass. It is not enough to rely on them to go spontaneously, because not all merchants have foresight. If they want to develop outside the pass as soon as possible before the Rakshasa Kingdom goes south, the court must be led by the court."

At the court discussion, Sun Chengzong put forward his own opinions.

Zhu Youxiao adopted this and ordered the Ministry of Revenue to discuss the matter, planning an order to encourage the Han people to build factories outside the customs to do business.

Finally, after the Ministry of Revenue’s discussion, Zhu Youxiao issued a “Encouraging Departure Out”.

Unlike the Qing Dynasty's "ban on customs" in history, even if the Northeast was vast and sparsely populated, it was not willing to even refuse to share its "dowry" with the Han people.

For national interests, the Ming Dynasty court directly asked the Ming Bank to provide the first batch of interest-free special loans for development outside the pass with 20 million yuan.

According to the requirements of the order, all people of the country, regardless of their own government, can apply for loans, go to customs, business and open factories.

And this loan is interest-free.

Not only was there no rest, Zhu Youxiao also attached a bankruptcy protection order to this decree.

It means that if you really lose money, even if you confiscate your property, you can't afford to get a loan. The unpaid part will be exempted and no criminal punishment will be imposed, and the court will arrange work.

In addition, tax exemptions were also made in the first three years.

This means that the court asked you to make money outside the pass and pick up money.

If you don’t get rich, you don’t have to worry about not being able to pay back the loan.

The closer you are to the top of power, the easier it is to obtain these important information and know the purpose of the imperial court doing so.

Zhu Xieyuan's second son, Zhu Zhaoyi, who was granted the title of the commander of the Jinyiwei (virtual position) for his father's merits, became the first person to take the lead. He applied for a loan and began to move his Zhu family's property in Jiangnan to the north.

At the same time, Zhu Zhaoyi also instigated the people of the Qi family, a prominent clan in Jiangnan, and said to his brother-in-law Qi Xiangjia: "Brother-in-law, in terms of technology and capital, we cannot compare with the official business. Even Hui merchants and Shanxi merchants are better than us, but the victory is that my father is still on duty in the court and the news is more informed than them. This is the time when our Zhejiang merchants rise! As the saying goes, we will get the moon first when we get close to the water, we will gain a foothold outside the pass, become bigger and stronger, and will directly monopolize the entire fur and timber business outside the pass, and it is unknown if we are rich at that time."

"But I still want to take the imperial examination and serve as an official and serve the court."

Qi Xiangjia replied.

"Forget it, don't blame Brother Wei for speaking straightforwardly. You are not that material. The court has now expanded the proportion of students to 200 places per person. You have not won yet, so you should give up!"

Zhu Zhaoyi said.

"I!"

Qi Xiangjia was a little worried and thought to herself, "You are not much better than that. If you weren't relying on your father's pride, you were just a student. How could you wear a flying fish suit?"

But Qi Xiangjia has to admit that Zhu Zhaoyi's flying fish suit is really beautiful and is envious.

Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, due to the high pressure for competition in the imperial examinations and the special nature between the Jinyiwei and the imperial power, civil officials have become less repulsive of the Jinyiwei position, and even many descendants of senior civil officials have begun to have the opportunity to obtain the Jinyiwei position.

Until now, many Jinyiwei are born into children of the gentry.

For example, Tian Ergeng, the current left governor of the Jinyiwei, his father was once the Minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Qi Xiangjia also knew that if he could gain a future for the Jinyiwei through military merits, he could also glorify his ancestors.

At this time, Zhu Zhaoyi seemed to know what he was thinking and continued, "You might as well go out with me to do business. Besides, let me tell you the truth. According to my father's disclosure, the Rakshasa Kingdom in the west is invading my Ming territory in the east, and now it has arrived in our Beishan Provincial Administration. Sooner or later, it will plunder various border towns in the future. At that time, we have the opportunity to make military achievements. It would be great if you can enter the officialdom from military achievements. Now you are more concerned about military achievements. You have also specially revised the military achievements system."

Qi Xiangjia couldn't help but feel proud: "Be serious?"

"What are you doing for you for your brother? Although the emperor's kindness is so great that he has repeatedly increased the number of candidates for the provincial examination, the number of scholars in the rich places in Jiangnan can increase faster than the number of candidates increased by the imperial court. It is not an exaggeration for those who study in Jiangnan to say that it is like a crucian carp across the river. In addition, the whole country is a prosperous dynasty and everyone is rich. The court has lifted restrictions on various types of low-level academic examinations, and treats people equally. Therefore, there are many people who study and profession, and it is so difficult to pass the imperial examination. It is better to go outside the border to become an official with military merits. Even if there are no meritorious people, there are great opportunities for meritorious people to be recommended. Because those places lack officials, I am a teacher only once a child. I was recommended as a magistrate because I went to the Jinjie to Chahar. Now I have heard that I will be transferred to Beijing to serve as a doctor of the Ministry of War and be appointed as a junior minister of the fourth-rank Taipu Temple."

Zhu Zhaoyi said.

Qi Xiangjia was even more moved after hearing this: "In this way, going north is a shortcut."

"It's not just a shortcut, it's the way to get rich by 100%! In the future, the court will build railways in that area. The planning map has been released, but you don't know yet. We are heading north now and can contract corresponding projects in the future and will definitely become a local wealthy family."

Zhu Zhaoyi said.

"Okay, I'll go north with my family."

Qi Xiangjia said.

"I have purchased land in Vladivostok. It is very cheap. The land price is less than one tenth of the south of the Yangtze River. Then we will settle there first, so we can sail to Lushun, which is convenient to get it."

Zhu Zhaoyi said.

Coincidentally.

Many gentry children who were well-informed and visionary like Zhu Zhaoyi went north.

Some even court officials voluntarily resigned and went to the country with their money.

The area of ​​Vladivostok Port, which is the most convenient transportation, and is currently the cheapest land price, much cheaper than Liaodong, has become the largest gathering place for these people.

A few months later, Zhu Zhaoyi, who was standing on a newly built building near Vladivostok Port, looked at the ships parked outside the port and said, "It has really changed. In the past, the imperial court forced some gentry to go north, but now they take the initiative to go north, and there are many smart people."

...

"The new household registration registered in Vladivostok alone has exceeded 10,000, and it has become a major county outside the Great Wall. The order to encourage the exit of the customs is very effective. In the future, this place cannot be said to be something that my Han territory cannot say."

After Zhu Xieyuan smiled at Zhu Youxiao and said some of the latest situations outside the pass, Zhu Youxiao said, "It seems that you have to lay the telegram line here. This may become the richest city in the northernmost part of the Ming Dynasty in the future."

"Then I will order the Ministry of Works to prepare for this matter?"

Liu Hongxun asked.

Zhu Youxiao nodded.

"I call your Majesty. The bitter and cold land outside the pass is not conducive to farming. To develop outside the pass, encouraging factories to do business is the only and the most appropriate method. The surge in the number of Han people's household registration in Vladivostok is proof of this. However, I believe that these places are vast and far away from China and Earth. If you want to access conveniently, you must strengthen sea transportation because the sea route is fast and the cargo volume is large."
