Chapter VIII Planning
Although Chen Ju said it nicely, Zhu Yijun knew that if he wanted to mass-produce qualified iron, he still had to wait. It seemed that the artillery troops he wanted were out of the blue. Although Zhu Yijun was not a hard-core BB party in his previous life and was not a follower of the turret gods, Zhu Yijun was still very fanatical about cannons.
Although I will not pursue large caliber long-range shooting range, I will still pursue saturated shell strikes.
The cannon Zhu Yijun wanted was a mortar, although the current front-mounted smoothbore cannon, which is a mortar cannon with a small caliber, which is convenient for carrying, later developed into a mortar. The most representative of this is Qi Jiguang's tiger squat cannon, which already has the characteristics of a mortar.
When you have the iron, you can further create iron tiger squat cannons. If you create metal fixed shells, it will be a veritable mortar. Although this process will be very long, if you really do it, it will be invincible.
By that time, I could really form artillery soldiers, and even experience the scene of thousands of cannons being fired at the same time. Of course, I also need to have enough money, so I can only imagine it now. However, Zhu Yijun felt that he would work in this direction, so he would definitely do it.
He waved his hand to Chen Ju, and Zhu Yijun said, "Okay, I understand, keep working hard!"
Chen Ju bowed and retreated aside, and he felt a little embarrassed. He spent so much money for so long, but there has been no results yet. However, Chen Ju also knew that this thing was in a hurry!
When Chen Ju just arrived at the military battle, he really didn't take this seriously. He can't make iron even if he has money?
But now he knows that some things are not worth playing with when they have money. He has used all the rewards he has said, but he still has not waited to solve the problem. The rest can only be done slowly by time.
Zhu Yijun turned his gaze to Xu De and asked, "How is your side?"
"Return to the emperor, the first batch of spies trained have been sent out. They will each go to the capital city to form a new spy network." Xu De hurriedly said: "In addition to the people from the original Liyuan, the inner factory will be laid soon."
"At that time, all the two capitals and thirteen provinces will have their own internal factories, and the servants have already made them penetrate the government offices in various places."
"According to what the emperor said, starting from the clerks in the yamen, he has the information in the yamen little by little."
Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction. That's right, this is the intelligence organization he wants. Perhaps its development is still abnormal, but there is no way. He needs them to do this and they need to provide them with information in this regard.
"Complete the internal factory structure as soon as possible, and let others focus their main energy on Fujian." Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said.
Although Xu De didn't know why the emperor asked the emperor to put people in Fujian, Xu De knew that this was not what he should ask, so he bowed and said, "Yes, emperor, I will arrange it when I go back and it will be completed soon."
Zhu Yijun nodded. Fujian is a good place. In the next two years, it will attract the main attention of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Juzheng, who proposed to clear the account and implement the one-whip method, would eventually choose a place for the pilot, and this place was chosen in Fujian. Zhu Yijun naturally had to pay attention to it. More importantly, there were things that Zhu Yijun was interested in in Fujian.
For example, maritime merchants in Fujian, pirates in Fujian, and wealthy families in Fujian.
Zhu Yijun is really interested in these things. Anyway, Zhang Juzheng went to Fujian to clear the accounts and fields and implemented the one-whip method. He happened to check these people carefully later. Jiangnan must clean up, so he is taking this opportunity to touch the bottom.
"Chen Ju, how are you doing when you ask the craftsman?" Seeing Xu De's pleasure in agreeing, Zhu Yijun nodded and turned his gaze to Chen Ju.
This matter was what Zhu Yijun thought of a few days ago. It was not enough to have a skilled craftsman without skilled craftsmen. The craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty were not easy to live, so Zhu Yijun was planning to get some skilled craftsmen in the military battle.
Implementing the ideas in your mind requires people to operate. There is nothing more suitable in the Ming Dynasty than them.
"Back to the emperor, all the craftsmen are on the side of the Ministry of Works. It is probably not easy to get people in the military battle!" Chen Ju thought for a while and said in a dilemma.
Zhu Yijun was stunned and then suddenly realized that the military situation was indeed not intimidating. Although the craftsmen had a low status, these craftsmen were also treasures for officials. Most of these people usually do private work for them, and it would be difficult to steal people out of them!
However, if you want professional things to do, you can find professionals. If the military battle situation and Chen Ju are not good, then let those who are good at doing it.
Anyway, Zhang Jing was about to make a deal with Zhang Juzheng, and by the way, he did this, which was not a big deal. After a glance at Chen Ju, Zhu Yijun said, "Okay, I understand. I will let people from the East Factory do this."
After roughly finding out what happened to Chen Ju and Xu De, Zhu Yijun was preparing to pay attention to the next step of Zhang Juzhengxin's proposal to clear the accounting fields and a whip method.
Sure enough, this incident was rumored in the capital in the next few days. Everyone knew that the cabinet chief Zhang Juzheng wanted to reform, and it was not a minor change, but a major change. The land was cleared and the hidden land had to be paid.
According to the legal principles, Zhang Juzheng's approach is completely in line with the legal principles and is very legitimate.
But things in this world cannot be done just right. Everyone has enjoyed this kind of treatment for so many years, but now it is gone. Isn’t this snatching meat from everyone’s mouth?
There were a lot of people in later generations who evaded taxes, not to mention that in the Ming Dynasty, there was an instant feeling of excitement.
There are dozens or hundreds of acres of land in these gentry, and the most are thousands or even tens of thousands of acres. There are also many people who are exempt from taxes. Only a few tax-free ones are just a drop in the bucket! If they can pay taxes, they will feel good.
What's more, those with less land are unwilling to take it!
Everyone has been here like this before, and they don’t pay taxes. It’s not that they are doing a good job. Why did you have to pay taxes when Zhang Juzheng come up? In an instant, more people have become more and more popular.
Zhu Yijun knew the situation in the capital clearly through the East Factory and the Inner Factory. When Zhu Yijun saw so many people standing up, he was also helpless. This is the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. This is just a clearance of the land and the hidden land. What if the tax exemption privilege is cancelled?
