Chapter 300: Daming's Industrial Base

The reason why Zhu Youxiao asked Zhang Yunxiu to be the magistrate of Qufu was mainly because Zhu Youxiao could not let Qufu be all eunuchs.

He hoped that Zhang Yunxiu could supervise and balance these eunuchs.

Moreover, Zhang Yunxiu is now a new nobleman and has a certain knowledge base. Zhu Youxiao also needs to let nobles start to participate in the government affairs of the court. Fortunately, the civil service group will be checked and balanced in the future.

So, after he asked Zhang Tongchang to come to Qufu, he thought of Zhang Yunxiu and asked Zhang Yunxiu to be the magistrate of Qufu, which was directly controlled by him, the emperor.

Foreign ministers only felt that Qufu was directly adopted by the emperor as the imperial village, but thought that Emperor Zhu Youxiao wanted to collect more land taxes into his private pockets.

But in fact, after Qufu became Zhu Youxiao's imperial village, Zhu Youxiao was always paying money to Qufu.

Because the rent Zhu Youxiao collected in Qufu was not enough for him to carry out a pilot program of popular education in Qufu.

This is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao directly changed the confiscated other fields into state-owned farms instead of being collected into imperial farms after confiscated Yanshenggong Mansion.

The income of the emperor is now limited, so he cannot provide civilian education in too many imperial villages. He can only classify the confiscated other fields into state-owned areas and divide the fields into the people first. When the income of the imperial court increases in the future, and the number of talents educated by the imperial villages and the strength of the emperor is stronger, then popularize education in these state-owned farms.

"Long live the emperor!"

"Long live the emperor!"

"Long live the emperor!"

...

When Zhu Youxiao came to Qufu, all the Qufu people who had gathered outside Qufu City knelt down one after another like a tide and shouted loudly.

The people of Qufu now admire Zhu Youxiao in particular.

Because from the beginning of Zhang Tongchang's division of the fields in Qufu, he began to teach these people, and they rescued them according to the will of the emperor.

In addition, in order to practice how to make the people identify with the king's army, instead of letting the people treat the government army as bandits as before, they did a lot of things to help the people, so that the people here began to know that the emperor not only needed them to respect the existence as gods and were noble, but also the true Bodhisattva who could save them and bring them happiness.

What's more, these Qufu people are the first generation of royal tenants who were exploited and exploited by the Kong family before, and they still have a personal painful memory of a big landlord like the Kong family.

Therefore, these people worship the emperor even more, believing that the emperor was here to rescue them, and did not have sympathy for big landlords like the Kong family. They felt that big landlords like the Kong family had excellent family genes and education. Even if they were defeated now, their descendants would still be better than ordinary people in the future.

Worshiping Bodhisattvas does not necessarily lead to good luck.

But worshiping the emperor can truly feel that there is more food at home.

Therefore, the emperor Zhu Youxiao, now the people of Qufu are really worthy of worship than the Bodhisattva.

The people of Qufu all want to see the emperor's true face.

Even the children wanted to see the emperor's true face, because they saw portraits of the emperor with "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, heaven, earth, king, family and teacher" written in the school every day. Therefore, they wanted to know if there was a difference between the emperor's true face and the emperor's true face.

However, Zhu Youxiao has been sitting in the imperial chariot.

Because of the cover of the curtains, no one could see his true face clearly, only his back and sideways.

Of course, the portrait of the emperor in the school is still very different from that of Zhu Youxiao himself. In order to deliberately make Zhu Youxiao, who is not as powerful as the weak, he had to make him painted by Zhu Youxiao a little more mature and darker.

The real Zhu Youxiao himself is still a jade-faced boy.

Su Qianqian, who was hiding in the house with a group of female relatives, saw Zhu Youxiao's clear-cut side face at this time, and also found that the emperor was much younger and heroic than the painting.

Su Qianqian saw it, as if Zhu Youxiao's side face was engraved into her mind.

Zhu Youxiao also glanced at the Qufu people who looked respectful to him like a Bodhisattva, and only smiled slightly.

His mood is very complicated now. He feels that he is just charging less rent than the Kong family, giving them a chance to study wisely, and it is not worth being watched with such a bright look. Even his original intention is not for these people, but for his own self-rescue in this world.

...

One month later, Zhu Youxiao, who slowly walked along the way, came to the Tianjin New City, which he ordered in the first year of Tianqi.

However, Zhu Youxiao had issued an order to Tianjin Governor Hua Yuncheng in advance, so that he would not have to mobilize troops to go out to greet him, and would only come to see him in the suburbs in casual clothes. Zhu Youxiao himself also entered Tianjin City in a condom.

Zhu Youxiao said it was a condom, but he didn't really take a few followers to walk into Tianjin City or pretend to be a caravan. After all, there were too many people following him.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao entered Tianjin City while sitting in a car that looked like an ordinary carriage, which actually had various protective measures inside.

The Yulin Guard and Jinyi Guard Flag School, disguised as caravans, still surrounded Zhu Youjia's carriage three layers inside and three layers outside, and there were open and secret whistles distributed around.

Now Tianjin City has become the manufacturing center of the Ming Dynasty.

All kinds of manufacturing workshops serving royal specialized and official manufacturing institutions such as the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry and Shipbuilding Bureau are gathered here.

A large number of looms and spinning machines used by the developed official textile industry in Jiangnan, as well as some parts required by the General Administration of Ordnance Manufacturing, as well as some components required by the Shipbuilding Bureau, must be produced here.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao deposed the craftsman system and exempted the craftsmen from the craftsmen, making the craftsmen more free, and all the craftsmen came here.

In addition, after a large number of landless refugees re-entered households here, they entered the technical school run by the government in this area to learn technology.

Therefore, there are many craftsmen here, and many new craftsmen have been born. This can also be said to be the manufacturing base of the Ming Dynasty and the base for the birth of new craftsmen.

Therefore, after Zhu Youxiao came to Tianjin City in a carriage, he saw that there were many people in the city, and the shops were densely packed with clouds. The sound of iron and sawing wood continued from outside the city to the city.

"Recruitment: Two skilled carpenters, one or five cents a month's salary; five apprentices, seven cents a month's salary."

At this time, Zhu Youxiao also saw a recruitment notice posted on the notice board on the city wall.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao found that there were many recruitment notices like this in the notice board, which filled the entire notice board with dense crowds.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing, and he couldn't help feeling the passion of manufacturing in this area even more intensely, and felt quite accomplished.

"This area was originally a large amount of saline-alkali land, and refugees gathered here could only make a living by pulling fibers. It was difficult to create good agriculture. But now that I use this place as a manufacturing base, it has really made the place prosperous!"

Zhu Youxiao thought to himself.

Zhu Youxiao had already made the idea that Tianjin area would become a manufacturing base in the Ming Dynasty and even an industrial base in the future, and Jiangnan would become a trade and commercial base.

Among them, the reason why Tianjin was chosen by Zhu Youxiao as the future industrial base of the Ming Dynasty was because it was convenient for transportation, and it was not only connected to the canal transport, but also to sea transport in the future. Moreover, there were many refugees in this area due to the canal transport, and the more important thing was that they were in the north.

Zhu Youxiao did not want the economic gap between the north and the south to be too large. Jiangnan had naturally become the world's commercial center and trade center. He naturally had to place the industrial base in the north so that a large population would be left in the north, especially in the Jingji area.

Looking at spinning machines and looms filled with more than ten boats, as well as many large warships parked in the dock, as well as wooden lathes, new waterwheels, wheel hubs, glazed, and brackets that were being pulled to the capital by many carriages, Zhu Youxiao could imagine that if the Ming Dynasty entered a new era of steel and steam in the future, these wooden machinery that went north and south would become metal machinery, and then flowed to the south of the Yangtze River, to the capital, and became popular overseas, becoming a new color after the Ming Dynasty's industrial progress.
