1706: happy event
After seeing Su Can off, Qin Feng hummed a little tune and went to the backyard. Su Can is indeed a genius. For people of this era, these methods are simply unprepared or guessed. If Qin Feng hadn't tried it repeatedly, he would almost think that Su Can's body also had a soul like him hidden in his body, and a professional with a deep understanding of finance. At least, after reading his theory of money for so many years, he could still be confused and confused.
The people of Qi thought that by isolating the Ming Dynasty's banking industry, they could avoid the tragic sanctions like Chu? Hehe, it was really a dream. So Su Can's new trick has come with him, and he still let the people of Qi fall into the trap without realizing it. When they find something wrong, they are already like the Chu State before, and they can't extricate themselves. They can only fall into a vicious cycle in this mud pit, watching themselves step by step into the abyss step by step.
More importantly, this time the Ming Dynasty's economic war against Chu was not just Su Can's group, but another group had entered the final practical operation stage.
Xu Lai and his group of disciples have already gone to Qinghe County. Where, the latest steam engine and matching silk reeling machine are being installed and tested. Once the trial production is successfully completed, the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty will be truly kicked off.
The reason why the first steam engine-powered textile factory was set up in Qinghe was that Qinghe is now the largest cotton planting area in the Ming Dynasty, and the nearby prefectures and counties also planted a large amount of cotton. Secondly, it is not too far from Xintong, which has rich coal resources. Thirdly, Qin Feng also wanted to see how much impact the emergence of steam engines will bring to the current society. Qinghe County is not many people now. Although it is planted in large quantities, most of them are sold to other places, not locally processed. There are very few people who rely on textiles for a living. His appearance will not have too much impact on the local area.
Only when all this is fixed will it be truly promoted nationwide, especially in Chu. It is the base camp of the textile industry and silk industry. It can be imagined that the emergence of a workshop powered by a steam engine will inevitably bring about earth-shaking changes. With the experience of Qinghe County in dealing with it, the officials in Chu will not be blinded by the time.
Qin Feng had no doubt that the great abundance of materials brought by the Steam Age would bring a huge impact on the world. This impact was not only against Qi, but also against Ming. If the internal difficulties brought by his appearance could not be solved well, it would inevitably bring great difficulties to the Ming Dynasty.
Fortunately, they still have a huge dumping market now, which will greatly reduce the pressure on the Ming Dynasty in China.
Overall, I was in a very happy mood. The institutional reform under Jin Jingnan's administration is in an orderly manner. The Censorate was formerly Jin Jingnan's private place, and the newly appointed Censor Zeng Lin did not fight for it at all. Therefore, the Censorate became the Supervision Department and did not cause any chaos because of the great weakening of power.
Fang Dazhi of the Ministry of Personnel was a bit passive and lazy, which is understandable. First, he thought that the position of chief minister, which he had originally thought was a foregone conclusion, actually fell into Jin Jingnan. He was naturally dissatisfied with the great reform of institutions and handed over the appointment and removal of officials below the county to the local government, which was equivalent to depriving him of his power. Fang Dazhi was not just a person, but behind him, there was also the Shayang system of the past. Although the Shayang system seems to be increasingly lighter in the entire Ming Dynasty, the strength of secretly hiding cannot be underestimated. Especially in the shopping mall, the Shayang system has important strength in the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is also particularly united. For example, the Shayang Bank, which was jointly invested by the big merchants in Shayang last year, ran the old bank Changlong in Shayang so that it was almost impossible to survive. The old Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Su Kairong also came to him to file a lawsuit.
However, Qin Feng naturally would not care about such things, and Shayang Bank did not take any shameful measures. In normal business competition, if you can't beat others, you can only find a way for yourself.
It seems that he has to find someone to have a good talk with him. This candidate really needs to be considered carefully. Thinking of this, his steps paused for a moment, and a face flashed through his mind.
It's him. His in-law Liu Xingwen. The Liu family was once the leader of the Shayang system. Although Liu Xingwen is just an assistant minister of the Ministry of War and a little in charge, he is his in-laws and Xiaowu's father-in-law. In both aspects, he is a trustworthy person. Fang Dazhi must have listened to what he said. More importantly, the news he said from Liu Xingwen is highly credible.
It seemed that I wanted to drink and chat with Liu Xingwen first, and accidentally revealed some of my behavior to him. Qin Feng laughed.
The way to control people is sometimes really ridiculous. It is obviously a very simple thing, but you have to go around a big circle. Even though you know that this is ridiculous, you still have to do it. If you talk directly with Fang Dazhi, you are afraid that this will be comforted, and the other party involved will probably be unhappy again.
Qin Feng never worried about the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works. As his old subordinate, Xiaomao and Qiaoshou never had any other concerns. What Xiaomao wanted to do was to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Without local security forces, he would be more abundant in military expenditure. The money spent on local security forces every year is not small. In the future, he would hand it over to the Ministry of Justice and let the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Revenue fight. Moreover, after seeing the things being experimented in the City of Power, Xiaomao is more convinced that the soldiers are not as powerful as the ones.
Qin Feng has always been apologized for the kitten. His marriage was really simple, and he invited a table at home. Few people knew about it. The trip to Anyang that he had originally agreed was postponed due to military reform. However, the kitten is very capable. Within two months of his marriage, his wife took it. Min Ruoxi was very displeased and thought that the woman was not worthy of the kitten at all.
The Ministry of Justice won a big prize in vain. Now Tang Zhong is extremely excited and jumped up and down to tinker with the matter of receiving local security forces. He and Geng Jingming sputtered each other several times in front of him.
In Qin Feng's mind, the field army is the national defense force, and the local public security forces are similar to the armed police force in his later generations.
Everything is advancing in an orderly manner according to their own ideas. Qi Guo felt that as long as he had time, he could rely on their profound heritage and vast territory, and countless people could suppress him. However, if this continues, he would be himself who would push him over. Time will always be on his side.
Steam engines, fire, artillery will completely change this era.
Thinking of this, the more proud I felt, the more I was, the more I looked much lighter.
A white shadow flashed in front of him, and Qin Feng was stunned. Isn’t that Yinggu? Why are you doing so in such a panic? While you were wondering, the white shadow that had just passed away suddenly turned back and stopped in front of Qin Feng.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to find you. Go back quickly, go back quickly!" Yinggu said hurriedly.
Qin Feng's face changed color, "What's wrong with Xi'er?"
"It's a happy event, it's a big event!" Yinggu grabbed Qin Feng's wrist, "Shuwan went to the palace first and diagnosed the princess's pulse. The princess is happy, and she is happy!"
"What?" Qin Feng exclaimed, and with Ying Gu, he disappeared from Eunuch Le. Eunuch Le was also very happy. As a person around Qin Feng, he naturally knew that Qin Feng had been working hard for this for more than a year. In order to get pregnant with another child, the queen has really drunk these bitter soups and medicines these days.
With a bang, the door opened, Qin Feng appeared there with a happy face, looking at Min Ruoxi, who was leaning on the bed with a smile and Shu Wan sitting in front of the bed.
Shu Wan turned around with disgust on her face, "Your Majesty, the Empress needs to rest now. You are so angry that you are shouting like this, don't scare the Empress."
"I can't be scared, I can't be scared!" Qin Feng walked in with a loud laugh. Who is Min Ruoxi? How could she be scared like this?
"Who said I can't be scared!" Shuwan said loudly with dissatisfaction: "How old is the Empress this year? She is thirty-five. Among the people, she is almost about to be a grandmother. Over the past year, I have tried my best to adjust the Empress's body, but I am pregnant at an advanced age. Even if the Empress has a good foundation, I have to be careful."
"Okay, okay, no problem. From today on, I won't let her get out of bed, let her lie on the bed all the time." Qin Feng laughed loudly, not to mention Shu Wan's rudeness. Anyone with ability basically has a temper. Shu Wan is like this, let alone Shu Chang. As he said that, he sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out his hand to hold Min Ruoxi's hands. The two of them looked at each other, their eyes full of joy and happiness.
Shu Wan snorted and stood up, packed up the medicine box on the table, and walked out and said, "Your Majesty, I have prescribed a prescription on the table, and the Empress takes it on time every day."
"Okay, follow the doctor's advice." Qin Fengtou didn't reply.
"I will go to the palace to treat the empress every five days from now on."
"no problem!"
Looking at Qin Feng who didn't look back, Shu Wan stomped her feet in anger and walked away. She was really the wife who got married, and the matchmaker left the wall. She lowered her head and rushed to the scene and almost bumped into the old man Le who came next. Fortunately, both of them were not ordinary people, and they gave way to each other, and almost avoided them.
Eunuch Le, who was about to step into the room, was dragged out by Yinggu.
"What are you doing when you go in?"
"The queen is happy, this is a big deal. I want to ask Your Majesty, should you please inform you about the political discussion?" Eunuch Le said righteously.
"Wait, don't worry, at this moment." Yinggu glanced at him and said.
