Chapter two hundred and seventy seventh big business
With Zhu Yijun's arrangement and arrangement, many things quickly got on the right track. The Ming Dynasty also began to enter a new journey and followed Zhu Yijun's ideas and embarked on a new path.
In the next month, the construction of the hatchery will be completed and production will begin.
There is a new business in the streets and alleys of Shuntian Mansion, that is, egg collectors. These people either ride a donkey or carry a load to collect eggs from village to village.
Whether it is eggs, ducks, or goose eggs, everyone will refuse.
These people became the first batch of dealers in the countryside of Shuntian Prefecture. They collected eggs and sold them to the hatchery of the court. The people in the countryside also benefited from this, after all, their prices were very high.
This led to the rise in prices of various eggs in Shuntianfu area.
As the price of eggs increased, chickens, ducks and geese increased. Zhu Yijun also received a lot of memorials for this. However, Zhu Yijun didn't care much, and the price increase of poultry would definitely not be temporary.
Once roast chicken and roast duck is launched, it will definitely increase.
The cement straight road leading to Beitongzhou in Beijing also began to enter the planning stage, and a new business appeared in the Ming Dynasty, recruiting workers. These people carried a gong every day and went to the villages to recruit workers.
Controlling food and accommodation, and two chunks of money per month have basically become the slogan of these people.
What people want to be rich, plant less and build more roads, and what they want to live a good life for their children. It is really good to make money by building roads. Anyway, the publicity over and over again can be participated as long as the Ming Dynasty is a good family.
After registering, you can advance your salary for one month to make your settlement fee.
Although many people are afraid of being unable to hide, the money from the court is so easy to make? But some people are willing to try, most of them are people who cannot survive or tenants who live miserable lives.
After these people were taken away by the recruits, they were sent directly to the construction team of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Through one, the recruitment of workers can receive a salary of 100 million yuan, which is so easy to make. After learning that the person who went there really received two stale money in advance, Shuntian Mansion was suddenly infuriated.
Countless people flocked to us, and now everyone thinks that the court is stupid and has a lot of money.
Zhu Yijun just smiled faintly about this statement, and naturally someone below would speak for him. Sure enough, a new statement came out shortly after a short time. This is because the emperor was polite to the people and in order to make money, he did not hesitate to give out the treasury to subsidize everyone.
As a result, Zhu Yijun's reputation increased a lot again, and the people of Shuntian Prefecture suddenly became more and more willing to return.
These days, it is the emperor's patent to win people's hearts, and Zhu Yijun certainly attaches great importance to this.
The first batch of workers recruited quickly entered the construction of the western suburbs. They needed people to build roads and houses, and even bricks were burning for transportation, and it turned out to be a large construction site.
Zhu Yijun invested all the more than 2 million taels of land sold in the western suburbs.
Shuntian Prefecture Internal Affairs Office.
Liao Bin paced in the room with some annoyance. At his lower head, all the six deputy managers lowered their heads, and their faces were not very good-looking. No one dared to speak, and even dared not breathe.
"That's how you do things? Where are the slave traders you are looking for? None of them can be found?" Liao Bin said loudly.
The six deputy managers below all looked helpless. It was not that easy to find slave traders these days. There were indeed many human traffickers in the Ming Dynasty, but they were all sold by servants or women.
You want to buy Yangzhou thin horses and it is easy to find, but if you want to buy slaves from outside the territory, it is difficult.
"Sir, it's not that I can't wait!" A middle-aged fat man below spoke, and said bitterly: "It's really hard for him to buy slaves from outside the domain, but the official has an idea."
When Liao Bin heard this, his eyes lit up: "Mr. Lin, what good advice is there, but it's okay to say it!"
"Sir, we are not good at this, but we can ask Dongchang for help!" The deputy manager, known as Lord Lin, said: "Your Majesty asked Dongchang to keep an eye on us. If we ask to go to Dongchang, Eunuch Zhang will help."
After pondering for a while, Liao Bin had no choice but to nod, "Okay, I'll go find Eunuch Zhang."
If you want to find Zhang Jing, you naturally can't go to the palace to find him. Everyone in the Ming Dynasty knows that Zhang Jing's spokesperson outside the palace is his younger brother Zhang Xun. With the power of his brother, Zhang Xun has become a very famous figure on the ground in the capital in recent years.
Zhang Xun is not good at doing business. He is doing ordinary business or is entrusted by someone to ask.
Liao Bin wanted Zhang Jing to help, but he felt that it would be better to ask Zhang Xun for help. After leaving the Internal Affairs Office, Liao Bin took people directly to Zhang Xun's home. Although he did not have an official position, Zhang Xun's home lived in Xicheng.
The house is not small, and the house was given by the emperor. The plaque at the door is very large, with two big characters written on it: Zhang Mansion!
After receiving the notification from his servants, Zhang Xun personally welcomed Liao Bin. Now in the top circles of the Ming Dynasty, no one knows the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Anyone who has something to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs represents money.
Zhang Xun knew that Liao Bin was highly trusted by the emperor recently and had several big businesses.
If he could get a piece of the pie from it, he would definitely make a fortune. Zhang Xun naturally attaches great importance to this, and it would be nothing if he greeted him.
"Mr. Liao!" After seeing Liao Bin, Zhang Xun smiled and bowed: "Mr. Liao is here today. The Zhang family is so bright!"
Liao Bin smiled bitterly and bowed and said, "I'm making my elder brother laugh. Today, Liao came here uninvited. I hope Brother Zhang will not blame me."
"How could it be? Lord Liao is a distinguished guest that I can't even invite even if I want to invite." Zhang Xun said with a smile: "Mr. Liao, please invite it inside!" As he said that, he made a gesture of invitation and led the way in front.
The two entered the hall together. After serving tea, Liao Bin smiled and said, "I came today. I will go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. Please help Brother Zhang if you have something to do."
Zhang Xun smiled and said, "It's okay to say that Lord Liao, I, Zhang, will never refuse any place where I, Zhang."
Liao Bin did not hide it, and directly told him about buying a slave. In fact, this kind of thing cannot be hidden from Zhang Xun. It is better to tell the truth if someone makes his brother Zhang Jing.
After hearing Liao Bin's words, Zhang Xun nodded and said with a smile: "So that's the case."
However, Zhang Xun's expression became serious. After a while, Zhang Xun said, "I need to ask someone for this matter. After all, I don't know if anyone does this."
"In this way, give me two days and I will give Lord Liao an answer."
Of course, Liao Bin knew that Zhang Xun was all excuses, and Zhang Xun was mostly going to discuss with Zhang Jing. But this was also his goal. If Zhang Jing was not pulled in, why should he go to Zhang Xun?
He bowed to Zhang Xun with a smile, and Liao Bin said with a smile: "Then I'll be lucky for elder brother. I'm waiting for good news for brother Zhang."
After seeing off Liao Bin, Zhang Xun knocked on the table, his expression on his face hesitated, and after a while, he slowly said: "Come here! Go to the palace to send a message, and he said I want to go into the palace to see my elder brother."
Zhang Xun knew that his elder brother was very favored in front of the emperor.
In recent years, my family business has not been due to the power of my elder brother. Since this matter involves the emperor's fate, I must be cautious. Zhang Xun can't understand this.
Although I have done a lot of things over the years, Zhang Xun has been reminded by his elder brother countless times and must not be proud and careless.
The news was quickly heard from the palace, and Zhang Xun entered the palace the next morning. He soon saw Zhang Jing. When the eunuch rubbed Zhang Jing's legs, Zhang Xun hurriedly said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother!"
Zhang Jing glanced at Zhang Xun, nodded and said, "Tell me! What's the matter? You still have to enter the palace."
Zhang Xun naturally did not dare to hide anything about Zhang Jing, and directly told everything about Liao Bin finding himself. After that, Zhang Xun asked, "Can we do this?"
Zhang Jing's expression did not change much and said directly: "Do you have a way?"
"Brother, there are some ways. I know some people in the northwest and Liaodong, and there are some people there." Zhang Xun nodded and said, "You can buy people in the northwest and Ningxia."
"You can also buy people from the Li family in Liaodong. As for the south, we can directly find Franji people."
Zhang Jing glanced at Zhang Xun and said with a calm face: "The people of Ming Dynasty are not good!"
Zhang Xun smiled and said, "This is naturally. I don't know the importance of it. I won't even have a Ming people. I just think this business is worth doing and it's a huge profit."
"It's just that I have to look at what the emperor means, so I came to ask my elder brother."
Zhang Jing pondered for a while. In this era, trafficking in humans will certainly make money, otherwise there would be so many human traffickers. The emperor’s meaning is very obvious. In the future, the Ming Dynasty would buy a lot of slaves, which would inevitably be a big business.
Originally, Zhang Jing didn't want to intervene, but now Liao Bin comes to him, which is a chance.
As for the reputation of human trafficking, Zhang Jing didn't care at all. He even had his descendants cut off his roots and still cared about this. The only question is whether the emperor is willing to let the Zhang family get involved in this business.
"You go back first, wait until I ask the emperor for instructions!" Zhang Jing thought for a long time and felt that he had to ask the emperor about this matter.
If you don’t ask the emperor for instructions, but do it yourself, it’s probably not possible. Someone reported this to the emperor, and he was afraid that he would have to lose his graffiti. After sending Zhang Xun away, Zhang Jing stood up and went to Wenhua Palace.
When Zhang Jing came, Zhu Yijun was reading the memorial, but he was still stunned when he saw Zhang Jing Zhu Yijun.
The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty also had a scheduling for the emperor, not always alone. They are not Zhang Jing’s squad now. Since he is here, there is something going on!
Putting down the memorial in his hand, Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Jing and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Go back to the emperor, my younger brother has just entered the palace!" Zhang Jing naturally did not dare to hide it. He said everything, then bowed and stood aside, waiting for Zhu Yijun's reply.
Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Jing. He didn't expect Zhang Jing's younger brother to be interested in this.
Zhu Yijun hadn't considered it yet, but now he could think about it carefully. The slave trade is definitely a hurdle that cannot be escaped in this era. The development of all countries is all caused by the blood of colonization.
To put it bluntly, it means to support one's own body with the blood of the people in the backward areas.
Whether it is the current infrastructure or the subsequent industrial revolution, slaves cannot overcome the obstacles. The lives of the people at the bottom of the British were also very miserable, and the British industrial revolution was also based on their blood.
Originally, Zhu Yijun's idea was to buy some slaves and contribute to the construction of the Ming Dynasty.
But with Zhang Jing's words, Zhu Yijun's thoughts were a little shaken. It was not that he didn't want to buy slaves anymore, but that Zhu Yijun felt that he could control the slave trade.
After looking at Zhang Jing, Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Let Zhang Xun do it!"
Zhang Xun is Zhang Jing's younger brother, so Zhu Yijun can still be a little more at ease with him. Even if it is done with the slave trade, Zhu Yijun can maintain effective control over Zhang Xun instead of being ensnared by the slave trade group.
You should know that the slave trade is definitely the most profitable in this era.
As for whether he could buy it, Zhu Yijun was not worried at all. Now, whether it was Portugal, Spain, or later the Netherlands, France and Britain, they were all looking for goods for trade with China.
Just buying things from the Ming Dynasty, they always feel that they have lost money.
If they could sell slaves to the Ming Dynasty, these people would probably have been rushing to death. Not to mention other places, just Southeast Asia, they would probably become their slave capture sites.
With Zhang Xun in charge, it is easier to control, Zhu Yijun has a clear mind.
When Zhang Jing heard Zhu Yijun agreeing to his request, he quickly knelt on the ground and said, "I thank you for your servant!"
He waved his hand and signaled Zhang Jing to rise. Zhu Yijun said with a calm face: "One thing, tell Zhang Xun that slaves are only allowed to be sold to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they are absolutely not allowed to be sold to the people."
Zhu Yijun also wanted to increase the treatment of the people and make them more income.
If slaves seize the people's job opportunities, it will be more than worth the loss, which is undesirable. If the slave trade is opened, it will also be gradually opened rather than large-scale opening.
As for slaves who are open to the people, they have to wait until they abolish the Ming Dynasty’s lowly family.
"Yes, the emperor, I will definitely not let down Your Majesty's expectations." Zhang Jing quickly agreed.
Night falls.
Zhang Xun walked around the room a little annoyed. For Zhang Xun, this time, the matter was a big deal. Although Zhang Xun didn't know how many slaves the Ming Dynasty would use, Zhang Xun instinctively felt that this was definitely a profitable deal.
Once the slaves are sold and the price is cheap, it is probably not only the court who wants to buy them.
According to Zhang Xun's understanding, not to mention other places, the slaves were lacking in the northwest grassland alone. There was a tradition of slaughtering slaves on the grasslands. In the past, they always plundered the people of the Ming Dynasty to go to the grasslands.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has defeated the Oirat, the Oirat has no place to acquire slaves.
If you sell your slaves to the grassland, not to mention changing some horses, cattle and sheep, it would be good to just exchange some wool. In addition, these people also need slaves in handicraft workshops everywhere.
Zhang Xun became more and more excited the more he thought about it. This would be a big deal!
