Chapter 54 Have You Heard of Shen Wansan?
"Li Jinglong is just a pig!"
Xu Miaojin criticized without hesitation, "His existence is an insult to King Qiyang!"
"You're just looking at him?" Liu Chun said in surprise.
"No... it was my fourth brother who said that."
Xu Miaojin's fourth brother was Xu Da's fourth son, Xu Zengshou. This man frequently helped Zhu Di during the Jingnan Campaign, and finally made Zhu Yunwen chop off his head. After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he immediately posthumously named Duke Ding, and was inherited and lived with the country. The Xu family had one family and two dukes, which had a great relationship with Xu Zengshou.
It seems that this guy has a really good vision.
"Not to mention ten days, even in a month, those workshops can't produce ten thousand kilograms of iron!"
Liu Chun was full of confidence. He could produce enough pig iron, which was based on two types: one was an oversized blast furnace and the other was sufficient raw materials. Those workshops, regardless of the cost, rushed to work quickly, and they also had to get enough raw materials.
Moreover, due to the lack of air preheating and blowing technology, the iron smelting cycle is much longer than that of Aries. No matter what, you can't succeed!
Unless other workshops can invite Mr. Lu to open a super ban of twenty-nine kills, you will have to wait to die!
"What happens if they can't get it? Should they sell them some iron ore at a high price?" Xu Miaojin tried to suggest that she is now the general accountant of Aries, and she is taking the boss's salary, so of course she has to give some ideas to make money.
Liu Chun smiled silently, "It's okay to sell some, but I don't think Lao Fang and Li Jinglong are that stupid."
Xu Miaojin was dissatisfied, "They can't even make the time to produce steel. Are they stupid?"
"Hahaha!"
Liu Chun laughed, "Maybe they just want to not get those workshops out! By the way... Have you heard of Shen Wansan?"
Xu Miaojin shook her head, "I heard of a man named Wan Er. I heard that His Majesty had seized more than 170 wealthy families in Yingtian, but Wan Er escaped in advance and hid a life. Two years ago, I saw him go to the temple to burn incense and fulfill his wish!"
Xu Miaojin had never heard of Shen Wansan, and it was not surprising at all.
Shen Wansan is a native of the Yuan Dynasty. He was born in the Yuan Dynasty and died in the Yuan Dynasty. Perhaps he had never even heard of Zhu Yuanzhang's name.
Because according to the Wujiang County Chronicles, when Zhang Shicheng occupied Suzhou, Shen Wansan was already dead, and his two sons, Shen Mao and Shen Wang, secretly transported grain and rice from Jiangnan to Yuandadu.
Judging from this, the role of the Shen family is not very glorious.
The author of "Wujiang County Chronicles", Mo Dan and the Shen family are in-laws, so his words are very credible.
However, Shen Wansan was dead, but his family wealth was still there and his descendants were there. It is said that when Zhu Yuanzhang attacked Suzhou, they strongly supported Zhang Shicheng with many powerful people.
As a result, Zhang Shicheng was defeated, and Zhu Yuanzhang severely punished the wealthy families in Wuzhong. Many of them were moved to other places and their family wealth was confiscated.
However, there seems to be another statement, saying that Shen Wansan's son-in-law was falsely accused of seducing a married woman and implicated in Lan Yu's case, and eventually lost her life, and the Shen family was completely declining.
Looking at the whole story, Shen Wansan does exist. He should have started his career in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty and accumulated huge wealth by relying on overseas trade. He also died in the Yuan Dynasty and had nothing to do with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Shen Wansan's descendants bet on several mistakes in the turbulent times, which cost a lot of wealth and a lot of people. In the end, they completely lost money, which was similar to the experience of most wealthy families...
As for the "History of Ming Dynasty", Chen Wansan spent money to build one-third of the city of Nanjing, which attracted Zhu Yuanzhang's jealousy and exiled to Yunnan, losing his life, and was completely out of nothing.
Nothing else, the city wall has stood for hundreds of years and is still there. Just by walking around, you will know that the bricks and stones of the city wall are all specially made. Such a large project requires millions of civilians to be requisitioned and free labor can be completed.
How much money does Chen Wansan have? Can he build one-third of the city wall?
Even if he is rich, Zhu Yuanzhang can ask him to cultivate it?
The civilians and workshops of the court should be used casually?
Are all court ministers decorations?
The defensive walls of the capital are so important that they can be regarded as the country's important weapon, a century-old project! It is like saying that Shen Wan Sanjian built a three-year-old high-speed railway line. Whoever believes is a fool.
Of course, although Chen Wansan's story was fabricated, it was true that the powerful and wealthy families had a very bad life in the Hongwu Dynasty.
Old Zhu searched his house at any time and moved to another place at any time.
He also threw the thankless job of transporting military rations to the frontier to the merchants.
In Lao Zhu's eyes, the "people" he wants to take care of are just farmers who are honest and diligent in farming.
As for the rich merchants, they are cattle, horses and livestock. They can be used if they can be used, and if they cannot be used, they will be killed and eaten by meat.
It is obvious that Lao Zhu is completely different from the king who lost his country. Because for the king who lost his country, the "minister" is a powerful gentry. If you do not compete with the people for profit, it is to protect the interests of the gentry. As for ordinary people, you can squeeze fish and meat at will. The two are completely different, and the result is obvious.
Therefore, Fang Xiaoru and Li Jinglong may not know that the merchants cannot get ten thousand kilograms of pig iron, but they don’t care… “I have only heard of rebellious farmers, but I have never heard of merchants rebelling! Merchants are cunning and cunning, and are good at pretending to cry for poverty. The family’s wealth is piled up like a mountain, but they pretend to be poor. As long as we suppress them, let the merchants contribute money and efforts, and arrange the members of Naha, we can explain to the saints.”
Fang Xiaoru drank tea and said to Li Jinglong lightly that he was full of confidence in his words.
Li Jinglong was born as a young master. When he was in Beijing, there were too many gods and he had to restrain himself. But when he arrived in Peking, he was almost the same as an imperial envoy. He had great power, so what else could he be afraid of?
What's more, Fang Xiaoru said this, so why did he hesitate?
"Please rest assured Mr. Fang, my man has already been urged. Whoever dares not hand over it will be locked up immediately until they pay the money! These businessmen are just beating!"
Li Jinglong thought for a while and said, "Mr. Fang, there are six official workshops, what do you think should you do?"
Fang Xiaoru took a breath, "Is the official workshop? It is better to produce more iron materials and let them produce two, which is 30,000 kilograms!"
"Okay!
Li Jinglong turned around and went to make arrangements.
Fang Xiaoru squinted his eyes and slowly tasting tea.
In fact, it is not that difficult to govern the country and do things!
As a scholar, after writing the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, setting their consciences right, and doing nothing will be detrimental to anything.
The current world style is far inferior to the beginning of the country. Many scholars cling to the powerful and powerful, use power, annex the land, and do everything. They are simply a shame to the scholars!
When the matter is done this time, after returning to Beijing, he will advise the prince to use heavy blows to curb annexation. It is best to take all the land under the emperor's ownership like the three generations of governance, and then distribute it to every citizen equally, with no more or less, so that we can maintain long-term peace and stability!
Lao Fang was conceiving the ideal country in his heart, but he had no idea that he had already made a big fuss.
The first ones to move were not the merchants who operated iron smelting plants, but the government officials in Peking! There were also the officials below!
Crazy!
The surname Fang is crazy!
At this time, the official iron factory was actually sent to produce iron. Have you asked us?
The dukes who were solemn in their daily life suddenly turned into monkeys jumping up and down, going to find Duke Song, meeting Duke Ying, visiting the Marquis of Yongchang, and asking to meet King Yan Zhu Di!
They had headless flies and flies.
In any case, we must stop Fang Xiaoru's actions.
Unfortunately, these people all hid in the military camp as if they had made an appointment, and no one saw them!
Lan Yu grabbed the wine pot and drank a lot.
His face was full of laughter. Liu Chun was really a genius. He kept silent. He let Fang Xiaoru and the civil servants in Peking start a fight and let them bite the dog!
Chapter completed!
