Chapter 249 The bloody road! The accumulation of wealth!(1/2)

Zhu Yunzhen dared to set up this situation, naturally because he had already made complete preparations.

No matter what King Qi does.

It is impossible to escape from his Wuzhishan.

Because at this time, the two strongest Monansai kings had already joined his command.

King Zhu Xi of Jin, King Zhu Di of Yan!

One is the Zongling of the Zongren Mansion, and the other is the head of the Taxation Department!

They are all working for him.

If King Zhu Xi of Qi wants to deal with him, the first person he has to cross is not other people, but these two vassal kings who are many times more powerful than him!

Then, you will confront him.

Finally, it’s Lao Zhu!

Therefore, Zhu Yunxuan had made a foolproof plan early on, so there was no need to worry at all.

What he is really worried about now is whether King Qi can distribute money to the small and medium-sized landowners as he expected.

Incidentally, it also transformed some ordinary farmers into the middle class.

Let some of the people of Ming Dynasty become rich first.

Although this method was criticized by many people in later generations, it really wants to achieve rapid economic development.

Apart from this method, there is really no other way.

The accumulation of wealth has always been bloody and cruel!

The distribution of resources can never be fair!

Zhu Yunxuan knew that redeeming land through this method might make some people very wealthy, and thus have excess capital to start embezzling more land!

This is almost equivalent to taking the pace of the Ming Dynasty's subjugation forward for hundreds of years!

After all, a large part of the reason for the collapse of ancient dynasties was due to unfair distribution of land, annexation and squeeze.

If left unchecked, the Ming Dynasty would not be far away from being destroyed.

But the reason why Zhu Yunzhen dared to do this, in the final analysis, came from his vision that far exceeded the world.

The embezzlement of land by aristocratic families cannot be solved in an agricultural society.

But in an industrial society, it seems so insignificant. Instead, it frees more labor from the fields, which in turn contributes to urbanization and industrialization!

Zhu Yunzhen took the opportunity to redeem the land and spread money to various big families.

The real plan is to turn these people into capitalists!

Although the word "capital" comes into the world, it reveals evil and blood, and no part of the body is clean.

And capitalists are demons that could not be overstated even if they were hung on street lamps.

But in everything, I am afraid of comparison...

Compared with the ancient landlord class and the powerful nobles, it is simply too high!

At least, in the eyes of capitalists, everyone has value.

He will not be like a big landowner or a big noble who treats the lives of his subordinates and servants as nothing.

Eat people without spitting out bones!

Capitalists will only squeeze out the last bit of value from you and then give up on you.

In comparison, it is much milder.

It is a sign of the progress of the times.

Moreover, workers’ rights and interests can be fought for step by step in the future, but servants and servant farmers don’t even have a chance to fight for it!

Secular habits cannot be changed!

Will people who have been accustomed to doing whatever they want for thousands of years change because of an order from Zhu Yunzhen?

Only the general environment has changed.

Times have changed.

Talents will change accordingly!

Therefore, Zhu Yunxuan took advantage of these opportunities to redeem the land and spread money to the wealthy aristocratic families. In the future, he planned to unify the land tax across the country.

Remove Lao Zhu’s original suppression of the Suzhou area.

Let these people become truly rich and have more idle resources that can be used for investment.

Open factories, hire labor, and invest in urbanization and industrialization.

This road is not easy.

It is even more inevitable that it will be stained with the blood of the people of Ming Dynasty.

But this is also a step that must be taken!

Zhu Yunzhen had no other choice...the only thing he could do was to direct the bloody cruelty of capital accumulation toward the outside as much as possible.

Learn from the Western powers in history.

Loot the resources of the entire world to complete the accumulation of primitive capital!

Instead of oppressing and exploiting the people within the Ming Dynasty and making them pay their blood and sweat to build the Ming Dynasty.

Overseas is the way out for Ming Dynasty after all!

Asan, located in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty and facing each other across the mountains, is rich in various spices.

Located in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese country is only blocked by a small piece of ocean. There are open-pit mines on the island that produce a lot of silver, gold, and countless more!

And mining is extremely convenient!

The desert located directly north of the Ming Dynasty has endless herds of cattle, sheep and horses.

Cattle and sheep can be slaughtered for meat, and horses can be used to carry goods.

And in that distant desert continent, there are countless black uncles...

However, Zhu Yunzhen had no interest in capturing Uncle Black as a laborer. If he wanted to capture Uncle Black, he would have to capture Uncle Bai from the north!

Let them have a taste of what it's like to be a free labor force!

Can it be regarded as repaying the blood debt they should have repaid?

It's a pity that the distance is too far, and the current Ming Dynasty is beyond its reach and can only focus on the nearest target in front of it.

Zhu Yunzhen has not forgotten the previous assassination of the two brothers Luqian Inukai and Luqian Zhuyang.

In addition, Japanese pirates invaded the territory of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yunzhen will always remember this grudge!

Zhu Yunxuan's first target was naturally the Japanese country.

As it happens, news came back from Zheng He not long ago.

Everything was going smoothly on his side, and considerable results had been achieved. He invited Zhu Yunzhen to go to Songjiang Mansion to have a look.

It's just that Zhu Yunzhen has been unable to take away time.

After being busy with the Spring Festival, I was busy with the return of the feudal lord to the capital, and then even more busy with the construction of national highways.

Never have time to spare.

But now, various things have finally been arranged.

Maybe I will have some time to spare and go to Songjiang Prefecture.

Let's see if Zheng He lives up to his expectations.

And how far is it from the navy that he envisioned to be able to conquer Japan?

Today, the Japanese country is still divided into pieces, with various lords dividing their territories to rule, and there are endless disputes.

These are troubled times.

With the latest weapons at hand, as well as strong and huge ships, it should not be a problem to deal with a mere Japanese country?

If it can be done, it will only be the silver brought back from Japan.

It’s enough for Daming’s daily consumption!

You can even use this money as a reserve to continue to issue more banknotes! Continue to issue national bonds!

Another larger-scale construction begins in the Ming Dynasty!

And it can also invest more money into the technology research and manufacturing bureau to develop more technologies that transcend the times!

Figured it out here.

Zhu Yunxu sent someone to find Xu Miaojin and planned to ask her to go with him to inspect the situation in Songjiang Mansion.
To be continued...
