"Zhongcheng, it is difficult for us to accept such regulations from your country. This is simply outrageous! Why do we have to use your currency? In addition, your tariffs are really outrageous. Neither in Nagasaki nor Manila are you. Didn't the Celestial Empire always advocate light taxes and low taxes and good neighbors and friendly neighbors? Why did we suddenly collect such heavy tariffs in Songjiang?!"

The captain of the Red-Haifan Merchant Ship, Eric, expressed his dissatisfaction to Su Song Governor Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong replied directly: "You can't buy my official cotton cloth and silk without coming to Songjiang."

When Eric heard Sun Chengzong say this, he directly slapped the table: "You guys are too bullying!"

Seeing this, Sun Chengzong just gave him a blank look and put the tea on his face: "Send the guests!"

So Eric had to leave the Governor Su Song's yamen.

Eric's deputy Widener hurriedly followed Eric and whispered: "Mr. Eric, what should I do now? The silk and cotton are the best and the cheapest here. We have no other better choice!"

Eric said angrily: "I really want to teach these hateful Orientals with cannons! Just like we teach Indians in America!"

"But this is a huge and difficult empire, and we can only play the role of a businessman here."

Widener replied.

"So, I feel even more angry. Only the cotton yarn and weaving bureaus here can provide such cheap and high-quality cloth, and we have no choice!"

Eric replied, and said, "Forget it, Widener, let's follow their rules."

Next, because Alic and other foreign merchants could not give up purchasing textiles produced by the Cotton Yarn Bureau and the Weaving Bureau, they still followed the rules set by Zhu Youxiao and first went to the Baoquan Bureau branch to exchange for the Ming silver coins, and also went to the Xichang Tiju Branch honestly to pay heavy tariffs.

The official textile industry established by Zhu Youzhao with new spinning technology and weaving technology successfully implemented the new policy of monetary reform and tariffs in Songjiang Prefecture, which also enabled the Ming Dynasty to further open up the sea.

Therefore, the court added an income from using silver coins to exchange foreign currencies and a tariff income.

Coupled with the profits earned by the official textile industry itself, the current silver storage volume of the treasury of the Ming Dynasty's treasury has increased dramatically.

Zhu Youxiao had to ask the Maritime Bureau and the Grain Industry Bureau to increase efforts to import grain, cotton, raw silk, wood, iron ore, agate, and gems from outside to offset the phenomenon of silver-free money brought by a large amount of silver.

In this way, the prices in the Ming Dynasty remained at a low level.

This is simply too happy for the people in Songjiang Prefecture.

Because the people in this area have just increased a large wave of income due to the expansion of the Cotton Yarn Bureau and the Weaving Bureau and the increase in workers' income, but the prices are still not high, so the people in this area are becoming more and more prosperous.

In fact, it is not just Songjiang Prefecture, but the people in other parts of the south of the Yangtze River around Songjiang Prefecture are also becoming more and more prosperous because they come to Songjiang Prefecture to work.

Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, has absorbed a large number of poor people in Jiangnan because of the two most profitable cotton yarn bureaus and weaving bureaus, which has played a siphon role, which has increased the income of ordinary people in Jiangnan and narrowed the gap between the rich and the poor. It is no longer like before. However, the gentry in Jiangnan is particularly rich, and the people at the bottom still cannot feed.

Therefore, even though Zhu Youxiao asked Zhang Tongchang to harshly suppress many troublemakers in this area, these people in Jiangnan did not feel dissatisfied with the court because of this.

In addition to producing cotton and silk, the real ones were naturally Jiangnan gentry.

After all, the benefits of silk and cotton to go to sea were originally monopolized by them.

Now, part of this profit has flowed into the treasury, part of it has flowed into the emperor's inner treasury, part of it has flowed into the powerful and noble gentry who supported the emperor, and part of it has flowed into the common people, but they have not had a single share of it, who have gained the benefits alone.

Therefore, they had to face the end of bankruptcy of their weaving and spinning mills.

I also have to face the situation where the people of my own tribe and the villagers in the village enter the official cotton yarn bureau and weaving bureau for work, thus losing control of these people.

So much so that their tribe members and villagers began to listen less and less to their opinions.

Their "independence kingdom" is beginning to cleave.

The gentry in Jiangnan was reluctant to accept such a reality, but they had to accept it unless they rebel.

Of course, some of them must have had an anti-minded intention, but most of them still chose to tolerate. Just as in history, the Qing Dynasty strictly enforced maritime bans in order to prevent Southeast gentry from providing logistics supplies to the Zheng family in Taiwan, and even moved coastal sects 30 miles inward, even though these people's interests were seriously damaged, most of them still chose to tolerate.

For them, it really requires them to consider carefully. After all, they are not desperate. They still have land and other industries.

Most of these gentry in Jiangnan still just hope that the Zhu Youxiao era will pass quickly, or that the emperor Zhu Youxiao will change his mind as soon as possible, so that the court will return to the era when the sea was forbidden in Jiangnan, abolish the weaving bureau and cotton yarn bureau, and let Haili return to the era when the Jiangnan gentry was only belonged to.

But this is no longer possible.

Because the powerful and powerful gentry who supported the emperor to build the official camp made a fortune this time. Now they only think that His Majesty the Emperor is a good emperor who is truly worthy of their loyalty. They even began to sincerely hope that the official textile industry could continue to be established like this, and even if the emperor was changed, it would not change.

They have already tasted the sweetness and no longer want to spit out the meat they eat in their mouths.

However, what they didn't know was that their emperor was already thinking about cutting their flesh.

"The exquisite official porcelain and glazed porcelain must be developed and sold as soon as possible. In addition, the glass, soap, cigarettes and other processes developed by Shanggongjian must be put into production as soon as possible, make more luxurious things, sell them to these dignitaries, and earn back the dividends they have distributed!"

Zhu Youxiao really hopes that the ministers who made money with him can spend more, even if it is a luxury, rather than buying land and lending money, which is something he does not want to see. After all, the latter will only aggravate land conflicts and class conflicts.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had to rack his brains to let Shanggong Supervisor and the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering develop various new products to encourage these people to consume, and at this time he gave such instructions to Liu Ruoyu.

"In addition, you will send my will to gather Wen Zhenheng and plan to create gardens and form an official construction bureau specializing in luxury gardens. Design and build some luxury gardens so that they can sell them to these loyal ministers so that they can have a better place to live. Therefore, it must be luxurious and expensive enough to use the wood stockpiled by the Maritime Bureau from outside. The price will naturally be high and high enough."

Zhu Youxiao's real purpose is naturally not to give the powerful and noble gentry a good home, but to earn the money from these people by doing real estate.

"I obey the order!"
