Chapter 429 Huizhou
Seeing Zhu Jun wailing, many people wanted to laugh.
Deserve it!
Yang Xian felt a lot better. When the mad king came to power, he would find a way to drive him to a remote place in the countryside!
After making up his mind, he withdrew his gaze.
Next, he will try every means to punish Hu Guoyong.
If you want to get ahead, there is no way!
"If you scream again, we will fine you five years of annual payment!" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Jun, not believing that he would be sad at all. The Prince Wu Mansion was so profitable, why would he care about three years of annual payment?
Zhu Jun quickly closed his mouth and stood aside aggrievedly.
Fang Keqin looked apologetic and whispered to Zhu Jun: "Your Highness, I have caused you trouble!"
"What nonsense can you say, and I can let you be bullied?" Zhu Jun whispered back, patting Fang Keqin on the shoulder.
Lao Fang is still very good. At this time, he has fully accepted his ideas. With a pioneer like him, if he enters the center of the imperial court in the future, he will definitely influence many people.
Xiao Fang is still immature. Although he admires him very much, his influence is not as good as that of Lao Fang.
I won’t mention Xie Jin. If his father, Lao Xie, came over, he would have to teach Lao Xie a few lessons.
That's right, wouldn't it be great to find a way to get Xie Jin's father out of the mountain, and then he and Lao Fang would be a perfect match?
Fang Keqin looked at Zhu Jun with emotion and made up his mind to spread His Highness's thoughts even if he died.
Soon, the group arrived at the industrial zone. Fang Keqin adjusted his thoughts and mood and introduced: "After a year of hard work, Fengyang Industrial Zone now has more than 2,000 workshops, providing employment for nearly 100,000 people.
From last year to now, the output value has exceeded 5 million taels of silver, and this year the output value is expected to exceed 10 million taels!"
Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more shocked the more he heard, so much production value?
How much tax can be collected?
With a tax of 21, wouldn't Fengyang Industrial Zone be able to collect 500,000 taels?
The national treasury revenue will only account for three million taels of silver, which is... one-sixth.
Is it so profitable to build an industrial zone?
"In the next ten years, Fengyang's output value will stabilize at more than 30 million taels. After the tax holiday, it will provide Fengyang with tax revenue of millions of taels every year." Fang Keqin said with a smile: "This is just an industrial zone.
There are also commercial buildings. Fengyang has opened a special industrial and commercial office, as well as special joint-stock companies. Weichen has just introduced joint-stock companies, so I won’t go into details here.
Fengyang Yamen has made an estimate that the overall output value of Fengyang Mansion will exceed 20 million taels this year.
Once the Huaihe River Bridge is open and the wharf is in operation, there is hope that 30 million silver dollars can be made.
This year, Fengyang Prefecture is following several general directions, striving to maintain an output value of 20 million and break through 30 million.
The population has exceeded 700,000, and the employment rate has reached 80%.
More efforts will be invested in the public transportation system, medical system, education system, and infrastructure.
In addition, urban security systems are also needed.
The prefect yamen will build nursing homes and orphanages for the elderly and orphans. These elderly people and children will be raised and trained by the prefect yamen.
In addition, Fengyang will re-count farmland. At present, more than 70,000 craftsmen have been naturalized in Fengyang, and the Wu Palace has begun to redistribute land.
In the future, the Agricultural Affairs Department and Investment Promotion Department of Fengyang Prefecture Yamen will be under unified management.
After this year, Fengyang will completely get rid of the imperial court’s assistance and become self-sufficient!”
Everyone was stunned.
While several big bosses from Zhongshu Province were still arranging for thousands of taels or tens of thousands of taels of silver, Fengyang's output value was calculated in tens of millions of taels.
In the past, you were assisted by the court every day, but this year you are directly self-sufficient?
Are they shameless?
Zhu Yuanzhang kept nodding, "Okay, very good, let's go to the countryside tomorrow to have a look!"
He still had some unfinished ideas, but the sun had already set and it was definitely too late to go to the countryside.
After returning to the palace, he originally wanted to call Zhu Jun over, but he hadn't completely calmed down yet, so he called Liu Ji over, "Sincerity, what do you think?"
Liu Ji sighed, "It's even better than the last time I came here!"
"What's so good about it?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Liu Ji smiled bitterly in his heart and said: "Everyone is well aware of the changes in Fengyang, and everyone is not unaware of the excellence of the new system.
But the old system will definitely jump out to resist, for no other reason than to benefit you."
"Do you think this can be done?"
"That depends on your Majesty's determination!" Liu Jidao: "If we implement it all over the world now, not only will there be no good results, but it will be a mess!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "Then tell me, where would it be more appropriate for Hu Guoyong to go?"
This is also a way to save face by selling it to the Zhejiang East Lineage. It also allows Liu Ji to choose. At the same time, it also tells him that you can choose the place yourself.
If Hu Guoyong achieves something by then, you will have to shut up when you should.
Liu Ji understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant. He thought for a while and said: "Actually, Guanzhong is the poorest, but Hu Guoyong can't make it. Our great cause occupies the east, which is considered a wealthy land!"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, "There is always a place for poverty!"
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree with him, Liu Ji smiled bitterly. In fact, there was really nothing particularly poor about Daye.
Most of the south of the Yangtze River is in the hands of Daye. Although the area to the north is narrow, it is also a fertile land.
"Huizhou Prefecture!" Liu Ji thought for a while before saying.
"Huizhou?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and thought for a while. Huizhou is a very important place. To the west is Zhaoqing Mansion. Zhaoqing Mansion is a very important pass and is heavily guarded there.
Moreover, it happened to be the meeting point with Chen Han.
However, because it is close to the sea, there are often bandits there.
Most of them were pirates transformed by the people of Chen and Han.
So much so that the people of Huizhou moved inland as much as possible.
The place is not poor, but chaotic.
It was still a place of exile.
So Liu Ji chose this place really well.
"Okay, let's go to Huizhou!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Liu Ji nodded and didn't say much. Instead, he found another topic and started chatting.
Huizhou was a place of exile, a place where pirates gathered, and a place where the people were in chaos. Although the king of Zhou had a heavy army, he could not leave easily.
It's not that difficult to open up a situation there.
Moreover, it is far away from the capital, so it is even more difficult to seek help from the capital.
It would not be surprising at all if Hu Guoyong died there.
Thinking of this, Liu Ji felt much better.
The next day, Zhu Yuanzhang went to the countryside early. This time he went into battle lightly and did not bring too many people with him.
Then I went to visit the countryside.
The traces of the flood are still there, but they have been gradually repaired by time.
Those dilapidated houses are still standing strong.
There are currently no people in the disaster-stricken villages. There are only patrolling soldiers and farmers cultivating the land.
