Su Songchang's three palaces.

As the war entered the suffrage, Zhao Ming's energy quickly shifted to production recovery and strengthened his strength.

In the mid-17th century, it was a time when time was too late. Many countries and nations in the world would race. If you miss it, you might miss the next hundred years, or even completely destruction.

In this game, every nation is entangled, and no one can escape. If you can't move forward, or even run a little slower, you will pay a heavy price, let alone drive backwards.

In Zhao Ming's view, things that do not aim to win in the race are a waste of time.

Zhu Yihai from Hangzhou may be very concerned about the dispute between the Longwu court and Sun Kewang, but Zhao Ming was too lazy to pay attention to it.

He had known that these people were not very reliable, so he didn't have much expectation from them.

To revive the world and defeat the Qing Dynasty, he always believed that the key was to be strong enough.

As Mandahai retreated, Zhao Ming left behind a 30,000 army to defend Wuxing, surveillance shocked the Qing army, and sent people to go to Ryukyu to pull Baihui back, build a defense line, and prepare to resist the next attack of the Qing army, so he turned his attention to the reorganization of the new army, counting and seizing, and resuming production.

Su Songchang's three prefectures were the richest place in the Ming Dynasty.

Earlier, the taxes provided by Suzhou alone accounted for one tenth of the country.

The taxes of a government are higher than those of a province, which shows the wealth of Suzhou.

Although the Qing army occupied Jiangnan and had a great blow to Su Songchang's economy, it is still one of the best fertile land in the world.

Suzhou, where the Right Governor's Office is located.

After occupying Su Songchang, Donghai Town had to change its former maritime guerrilla strategy, and Zhao Ming then moved his Right Army Grand Governor's Office to Suzhou Prefecture.

The Grand Marshal's Shogunate, as well as the yamen and officials of the Zhejiang Commander's Office, also went ashore and moved to Suzhou City.

Zhao Ming now controls a vast area, and the Zhejiang Commander Command cannot manage such a big stall. However, at present, both Liaodong, Shandong coastal areas, and Taiwan are all under management.

After Zhao Ming set up the Grand Governor's Office in Suzhou, he immediately issued an order, and the first order was "Re-Clothing and Gown".

All prefectures and counties posted notices asking the gentry and the people to restore their clothes and clothes.

As soon as this order came out, the gentry and people in the east of the lake all abandoned their clothes and hats, cheered in Taoist clothes and square scarves, and the scholars wearing net scarves hugged each other and cried.

However, perhaps because there was no saying in the announcement of "Re-Clothing and Gloves" that there were no braids or heads left. In Su Songchang, there were many gentry and people in the area of ​​Su Songchang. Because they were afraid that the Qing Dynasty would make a comeback, they were unwilling to cut their braids, and they were worried that the Qing soldiers would lose their heads when they came over.

Zhao Ming was furious and ordered the prefectures to count the number of people, and then dispatched yamen runners to lock people who were unwilling to cut their hair, and to force the braids to cut them in public.

Zhao Ming's second order was "Resuming Production and Revitalizing Industry and Commerce".

As soon as this announcement was released, it was a great shock to the Hudong region. The government supported industry and commerce, which surprised the gentry and the people and caused a lot of criticism.

Zhao Ming supported the workshops that had already gone bankrupt or were facing bankruptcy by investing in Huaxing Company and giving them shares and orders, and gave them a batch of orders, hoping to save these precious buds.

When society develops to a certain stage and completes a certain accumulation, it will transform into another stage.

This process goes smoothly, that is, society completes reforms and presents a new social relationship and form. If it fails, it must be accumulated again and started over again.

Capital has emerged several times in Chinese history. Every time, without having time to transform, society collapsed due to internal and external troubles.

If the sprouts are destroyed again this time, and if they sprout again, the daylily will probably be cold.

Zhao Ming's order made the gentry in Hudong both surprised and happy.

The merchants were delighted to receive the attention of the court and have funds injected. They were surprised that the government paid attention to industry and commerce, which may not be a good thing for them, and they would have lost many opportunities to make money in silence.

Suzhou, Weaving Bureau Warehouse.

Zhao Ming led a group of people to inspect the materials stored in the warehouse.

After a walk around, most of the warehouses were empty and nothing.

"Duke! The Weaving Bureau had a lot of supplies before, but in recent years, the Qing Dynasty consumed a large number of people. In addition, Shanxi merchants bribed Qing officials and took away a large number of goods from the treasury at a low price, causing the current situation." An old eunuch who accompanied explained to Zhao Ming.

The old eunuch Ming was named Gao Qihuan. He was from the Weaving Bureau. Zhao Ming asked Zhu Yihai to ask about the matter of Jiangsu and Zhejiang silk weaving.

Zhao Ming looked at the warehouses covering an area of ​​about a hundred acres and built around Suzhou City. He saw that mice could not be kept in various warehouses, and frowned slightly.

Zhao Ming asked, "How many pieces of silk can be produced in the previous year by the loom controlled by the Jiangsu and Zhejiang governments and how much profit can it make?"

The old eunuch Gao Qihuan said: "Reporting to the Duke of the People's Republic of China, he waited for 500,000 horses to produce every year. As for the profit~"

Zhao Ming stopped, looked at him, and then said, "How much profit is, I want to listen to the truth."

The Weaving Bureau is a very rich yamen, eunuchs, emperors, and officials, and it would be great if they didn't lose money in the end. However, Zhao Ming knew that it was difficult for a family to make money without making money at this point.

The old eunuch Gao Qihuan said, "I dare not hide it from the Duke of China. I buy silk and sell a Western businessman. One of them can buy fifteen taels. After deducting the cost, the net profit should be between eight taels and ten taels. If it is five hundred thousand taels, the annual profit should be more than four million taels. However, the Duke of China also knows that there will definitely not be so much in the end."

A profit of 4 million taels per year is enough to support another 200,000 troops.

Zhao Ming asked: "To restore the silk production of the Weaving Bureau to 500,000 pieces, how much silver is needed to invest."

The old eunuch seemed to have thought about it for a long time, "Reporting to the Duke, you must invest at least 2 million taels first, and you still need additional investment later!"

Zhao Ming frowned and asked Chen Mingyu beside him, "Mr. Chen, how much money and grain have we seized this time?"

After hearing the eunuch's words, Chen Mingyu was obviously very moved. He thought about it in his mind and replied immediately: "Master, the main force is to block the country's treasures, and with some sporadic seizures, there should be 1.8 million taels of silver."

He invested two million and earned four million a year. As an official in the management branch, Chen Ming was moved. He was afraid that Zhao Ming would feel sorry for two million taels, so he hurriedly said: "Master, I can find a way to do it. Su Song's silk weaving industry must be restored."

At this time, Ding Weiyue walked forward and bowed: "Master, Qian Qianyi and others are asking for a meeting."

Zhao Ming immediately smiled and said, "Haha, the one who gave the money is here."
