The first thousand two hundred and seventy-six chapters of the new journey of five stars out of the East and China (seventeen)
The Emperor of the Chinese Empire, Zhang Ping'an, wrote a letter to his son in a pleading tone, asking him not to make things difficult for him in the intelligence department and the detective office of the American Empire. Anyone who is familiar with the personality of the emperor Zhang Ping'an knows that this is a sign before the emperor's anger. Although Zhang Shangwu became the Emperor of America, and was thousands of miles away from the Chinese Empire, if the Emperor of the Chinese Empire did not like Zhang Shangwu, Zhang Shangwu would definitely be dismissed. Because in the army led by Zhang Shangwu, almost no warrior dared to fight against Zhang Ping'an, who was victorious in all battles, just relying on the emperor's imperial edict.
Shangwu's army is likely to counterattack Zhang Shangwu with one blow. In order to better control the American continent where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, Zhang Ping'an took out the inner treasury silver to set up a port station on Kuye Island to the coastal islands of the Americas. First, it is to facilitate supply to the Americas, and second, it is to shorten the time for America to transmit messages to the Chinese Empire as much as possible. Even if Zhang Shangwu wants to split, the Chinese Empire can react in the shortest time. Emperor Zhang Ping'an gave the American Empire musket to the American Empire. The biggest disadvantage of this weapon that is advanced than muskets is its dependence on bullets.
Whether it is a general or an ordinary soldier, once he uses a musket, he will basically like this weapon from the bottom of his heart. The trouble of loading muskets is far less useful than muskets in war. After a period of time, the soldiers of the American Empire will lose their skills in using muskets. In the future, if Zhang Shangwu wants to challenge the Chinese Empire, the soldiers of the American Empire without bullets will not be able to compete with the Chinese Empire army. A small bullet will make the generals of the American Empire worry, and Zhang Shangwu, a smart man, naturally also knows the interests. The American Emperor Zhang Shangwu violated the taboo of his father Zhang Ping'an, and he wants to return to the Chinese Empire again.
The goal of inheriting the throne is gradually drifting away. Fortunately, Zhang Ping'an has more sons, and Zhang Shangwu is far away from the throne and is giving others the opportunity. As the situation in Liaodong gradually stabilizes, the short-selling king Zhang Shangde, the king of Lelang Kingdom, once again entered Zhang Ping'an's sight. Zhang Ping'an wanted Zhang Shangde to be the emperor of the Nanyang Kingdom. The prefectures of the Beihai Province have been stable. The imperial people who are good at farming and advanced farming technology have gradually turned the Beihai Province into a granary. Supported by the emperor's failure to collect agricultural taxes, the Beihai Province can sell 700,000 stones of grain to Liaodong every year, which basically ensures that the people of Liaodong are not suffering from drought.
The Ryukyu Kingdom under its jurisdiction, which was operated and managed by Taiwan, can produce a large amount of white frosted sugar twice a year. The rice transported by the Chameng Kingdom and Siam Kingdom in the south allowed Emperor Zhang Ping'an to reserve military rations for the Western Expedition Army. After several years of repair, the imperial capital Chang'an City began to take shape. Since there were still some final projects to be improved, Emperor Zhang Ping'an issued an order to move the capital in the sixth or seventh year of China. The yamen where the Yellow River was surveyed in Shandong to redirect the Yellow River was written to the emperor, begging the emperor to dig out the Yellow River. Emperor Zhang Ping'an was not in a hurry to do this project.
He expressed his opinion, but issued an order to take out two million taels of silver from the inner warehouse to strengthen the former Yellow River path of Henan. Zhang Huzhou, who served as the city guard in Ping'an City for many years, was added to the title of Deputy Prime Minister by Emperor Zhang Ping'an. He was appointed as the governor of Henan, Zhili, and Shandong and also served as the governor of the River Door. He praised Zhu Guozhang as the fourth-ranking doctor of the Ministry of Works and cooperated with the Governor Zhang Huzhou to repair the Yellow River project. However, when Emperor Zhang Ping'an summoned Zhang Huzhou, he warned him in person that Zhu Guozhang, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, was a talented man in the river Door, and all matters of river construction were handled by Zhu Guozhang.
At this time, Zhang Huzhou realized that he, the governor of the river, was the decoration, and the real person in charge of the river, was Zhu Guozhang. However, Zhang Huzhou was promoted to the deputy prime minister of the cabinet and still satisfied him. After all, the territory of the Chinese Empire was several times that of the Ming Dynasty in the previous dynasty. His one-man role as governor of the three provinces was enough to show the emperor's trust in him. On the way to take office in Kaifeng, Henan, he encountered a team of prison cars escorted from the south. This was Wu Sangui, the former general of the Shanhaiguan of Daming in Yunnan who failed to rebel in Yunnan. Originally, Zhang Huzhou didn't want to communicate with him.
Unfortunately, Emperor Zhang Ping'an issued a secret order to ask Zhang Huzhou to deal with Wu Sangui in Henan. The inspector team escorting Wu Sangui and his party had already received the military order of the General Staff to wait for Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Huzhou to deal with Wu Sangui in Kaifeng, Henan. Zhang Huzhou had no friendship with Wu Sangui, so he didn't even intend to give Wu Sangui a drink. The name of escaping in the chaos made Wu Sangui die under the knife. Wu Sangui's death on the way to escort did not cause any trouble in the court. After all, Wu Sangui was also dead when he returned to the capital.
The imperial court of the Chinese Empire issued an edict to the Taiwan camp, and Zhang Tong, the general manager of the camp, sent a note to the countries in Thailand. The Chinese Empire occupied the Nanyang Kingdom, and merchant ships from various countries had to go to the garrison to file for the replenishment of supplies. The Thai Empire had never heard of the Nanyang Kingdom. In their eyes, the goods of the Chinese Empire were the guarantee of wealth. In addition, the Chinese Empire's strength was strong, and they were the first defeated generals of the Chinese Empire. As long as the emperor of the Chinese Empire did not say that South America was the land of the Chinese Empire, it had nothing to do with everyone. In the eyes of the Thai fleet merchants, the Chinese Empire's goods were becoming more and more abundant. Silk made of
Down jackets are light and warm, and down quilts made of silk are even more popular. Silk is valuable, but the price of upgraded silk products doubled but in short supply. In the prefectures near Nanjing, the local tyrants in Ponucheng opened thousands of workshops to produce exported silk. In the past, there were drilling platforms powered by water conservancy to pull the thread for muskets. The smart people in Ponucheng quickly transformed this drilling platform into a silk drawing machine and textile machine. The water everywhere in the south of the Yangtze River was not frozen in winter. Such good conditions made thousands of workshops spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
The south was affected by the war, and nearly half of the people of Ponucheng were rich and wealthy. They had money and machines to cooperate with craftsmen with land in the south, so that both sides could quickly accumulate wealth. The workshops opened by the Ponucheng were getting larger and larger, which caused the big problem of insufficient manpower. Silk textiles were a craft job with high technical content, and they could not be easily used by individuals. Before Zhang Ping'an became emperor, he once said many times that if you want to cooperate with others to do business, you must look at the long-term. It takes only three years to be eager for quick success and profit. Zhang Ping'an, the emperor of the Chinese Empire, was a famous God of Wealth when he was in Ponucheng. He said
If it is passed, it is regarded as a classic by merchants. Most of the local tyrants in the Jiangnan area pay attention to integrity. Among the local tyrants in Jiangnan, we have to say that a "Ping'an" business name is a big business with a deep background. This business that dares to be named after the emperor's name, the two women Gu Yaxin and Xu Zhu. Many widows were left behind during the Ponu Army. They took the silver and pension silver for their husbands' deaths. Although it was not difficult to live with their families. Emperor Zhang Ping'an never forgot that the families died for the Chinese Empire. He asked Gu Yaxin and Xu Liang's wife Xu Zhu to take the lead and call on the family to invest in the establishment of the business name.
Emperor Zhang Ping'an personally wrote a plaque of the business name and took out 10,000 taels of gold to invest. After Xu Liang died in the Wututchi Battle, his three sons grew up and entered the General Staff, and the two young ones were raised by Xu Zhu. In order to give Xu Zhu a stable life, Emperor Zhang Ping'an issued an order to ask Xu Yi'an from Nanjing to help buy a yard. Later, Emperor Zhang Ping'an issued an edict to give Xu Zhu a part of the former Xuanwei envoy of the Zi Nan Zhili Yamen. The emperor's reward was part of it. Xu Yi'an and his elder brother Xu Liang had a deep relationship. He and his brother Xu Zhen spent 3,000 imperial gold coins to repair their widowed sister-in-law and nephew.
The mansion. Soon, the emperor ordered Zhang Ping'an to establish a business name, allowing Xu Zhu and Gu Yaxin to take charge of daily affairs. With the sign of Emperor Zhang Ping'an, the widows who had not remarried in the Si area all took out their wealth and invested in the money. In the eyes of these widows, Emperor Zhang Ping'an valued feelings and was still considering them for the rest of their lives in the busy state affairs. In particular, Emperor Zhang Ping'an was a famous god of money and wealth, and he was not afraid of losing money by handing the money to this business. In the early years, Emperor Zhang Ping'an shamelessly invented sanitary napkins to earn money from women's private parts, and this product is still very profitable.
The survivors of the Xuanwei envoy of the Ponucheng City can live a very prosperous life with the object of sanitary napkins. The "Ping'an" business raised 6 million taels of silver at the beginning of its establishment and became the top-ranked large merchant in the empire. Although the "Ping'an" business is not small, it is not smooth to open and do business. This is mainly because there are many large merchants in the empire. As a latecomer who has not been able to produce short products, it is difficult to survive in the fierce business war of the empire. Emperor Zhang Ping'an pays attention to fairness in business operations. He will not violate business principles to suppress his opponents, let alone the opponent is his own. In just three
In months, Gu Yaxin and Xu Zhu, who had no commercial experience, made a mistake in decision-making. They purchased a large amount of low-grade silk, which caused a serious backlog. This was mainly because the Chinese army's weapons were replaced, and the integrated ammunition was withdrawn from the Chinese army's sequence. The largest user of low-grade silk is the Chinese army, but the reduction in integrated ammunition production will inevitably affect the procurement of low-grade silk. Gu Yaxin and Xu Zhu did not see the situation clearly. They felt that it was safe to buy low-grade silk to sell to the Chinese army. They not only purchased low-grade silk, but also purchased hundreds of workshops that produced low-grade silk.
This time, more than four million taels of silver were smashed into his hands, which made the two women feel unruly. Gu Yaxin ran from Ponucheng to the capital to ask for help from his younger brother Gu Xin. Xu Yian was anxious to find out that his widowed sister-in-law lost money when she learned that his widowed sister-in-law was in a business and was anxious to get angry. Although Xu Yian had great power in Jiangnan, he would not do anything to force the business. Fortunately, when Xu Yian heard that Gu Yaxin had arrived in the capital, he quickly comforted his sister-in-law and said that the emperor would definitely come up with a solution. Gu Xin, as the chief of staff of the empire, laughed and said that this little thing was necessary to meet the emperor. Gu Xin gave his sister an idea and purchased a large number of low-quality silk. The ancient saying was well said, "Those who are close to the ink are black and those who are close to the vermilion are red and those who are close to the vermilion are red."
, Gu Xin can't do business but can't resist his longest time with Emperor Zhang Ping'an. He can buy low and sell high. Gu Yaxin followed his younger brother's advice and once again asked the "Ping'an" business to purchase low-quality silk, preparing to control the total amount of goods to sell when the price is high. The reality is always very cruel. Gu Xin's Taoism is playing in front of merchants that have been rising and falling for decades. They took the opportunity to ship all the low-quality silk in their hands. Now even Gu Xin was stunned. The "Ping'an" business was nearly five million yuan in his hands. Gu Xin, who was watching the trouble, could only ask Emperor Zhang Ping'an for help. (To be continued)
