Chapter 230 Dare to be wild in front of the Royal Weaving Bureau

Without the Royal Weaver Bureau and the Royal Industrial Company, Zhu Youxiao would reduce its revenue by nearly 10 million silver dollars every year, which means that the northern disaster relief and training recruitment of the Imperial Guards, the research and work of the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the development and mass production of the Ordnance Division will be completely terminated.

Not only that, major projects carried out in various places have to be stopped, which has brought about more unemployment to the people.

It is precisely because of the technical and political advantages of the Royal Weaver Bureau and the Royal Industrial Company that the national finances were alleviated and Zhu Youxiao was able to directly control more wealth, which allowed the Ming Dynasty train to start to increase and alleviate the class contradictions caused by land annexation.

The most significant effect is that refugees from all over the country, especially those from the north, have dropped a lot. Zhu Youxiao asked the Ministry of Revenue to do statistics, which is at least 30% less than in the Five Years of the Tianqi period. The most direct evidence is that the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty has not yet exploded, and the frequency of sporadic uprisings has also decreased, and there are more riots in the south than in the north.

But now if you stop possessing the commodity economy, the result will be that there will be more refugees, and the advanced productivity brought by your time traveler and the established scientific research system will only bring more wealth to the selfish gentry class and make them more capable of controlling the country.

Unless Zhu Youxiao is crazy, he will be foolishly led by these officials in the South Beijing to ban the Royal Weaving Bureau and the Royal Industrial Company.

Not only can it be cancelled, Zhu Youxiao felt that he also wanted to let state-owned capital enterprises such as the Royal Weaver Bureau and Royal Industries take this opportunity to further expand, not only these two companies, but also Royal Bank and Royal Village.

"Wu Jin, immediately send someone to summon the Royal Bank's Duwei Gong Yonggu and the Royal Bank's head Hu Shouchun to Nanjing." After the order was issued, Zhu Youxiao went there in person and built the Royal Weaving Bureau in Nanjing.

...

On this side, when the Governor of Yingtian Wang Wenkui met with Dong Qichang and Chen Mingxia, he sighed in disgrace: "Today, his Majesty mentioned the abolition of the Royal Weaving Bureau. His Majesty does not seem to be willing to do so, even if many ministers unanimously suggest it."

"But if Your Majesty does not agree to ban the Royal Weaving Bureau, or let the Royal Weaving Bureau be under the management of our civil servants, it will make it difficult for more people to survive. More importantly, our literati will have unspeakable power in many years, and Your Majesty regards us as just knives and fish. The recent slaughter of the Confucius Sect in the Northern Sect, which means that once Your Majesty controls the wealth of Jiangnan, we will also let Your Majesty slaughter."

Dong Qichang said, and then smiled again: "I thought I would contact a few of my friends and advise Your Majesty to ban the Royal Weaving Bureau, so that Your Majesty can compromise, but unexpectedly, Your Majesty is so stubborn. Now it seems that you can't force yourself. After all, Your Majesty is not so easy to meet with. It's better to let the people try it. You have to see if Your Majesty dares to kill more than a thousand people like landed scholars."

Chen Mingxia also nodded and said, "Mr. Dong said that when the eunuch Wei Zhongxian was so arrogant, wouldn't his minions still be beaten back by my righteous people in Suzhou? I will go back to visit Mr. Tianru. He is a giant in Fushe. If he comes forward, he will definitely be able to gather the benevolent and ambitious people from Jiangnan. How to move the people at that time, we will choose a place to discuss."

"It's so good. Let's contact a group of scholarly friends. However, now the East Factory is covered with minions in the south of the Yangtze River, so it's better to be careful. At that time, I will still take the literary meeting as an opportunity. It happened that my birthday was coming soon, so for this purpose, we invited scholars from all over the world to come to the meeting at Lishui Pavilion."

When Dong Qichang said this, Wang Wenkui and Chen Mingxia also deeply agreed, and even flattered the imperial teacher.

Dong Qichang was very satisfied and continued, "However, it is better for Your Majesty to take the initiative to ban the Royal Weaving Bureau. There is no need to tear your face with Your Majesty unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, this is difficult to guarantee. Your Majesty would rather offend the scholars of the world than take our lives. With Your Majesty's tyrannical nature today, it is not impossible. Therefore, Wang Zhongcheng has to secretly let the gangsters and bandits wandering around to do a few more major cases. In short, the more uneasy the whole country is, the better. He will kill a few people from time to time to set fire to make His Majesty realize the consequences of not banning the Royal Weaving Bureau."

"Of course, I have informed the people below, about the Sharon Gang and other gangs, so that they can turn a blind eye," said Yingtian Governor Wang Wenkui.

As Wang Wenkui said, after this, the wealthy and romantic place in Jiangnan suddenly fell into an unprecedented security crisis, and criminal cases in various places sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Because Zhu Youxiao and others killed dozens of people from Shalong Gang, the Shalong Gang directly hated the northerners in South Beijing and blatantly robbed merchants from the north.

Moreover, when Zhu Youxiao came to the Royal Weaving Bureau in casual clothes, he saw a man lying on the ground, bleeding all over the ground, and the murderer simply wiped his knife and left swaying.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao was furious and ordered: "Catch the murderer. Who gave him so courage to commit crimes under the sun? In addition, Li Mingrui, go to Jiangning County Government and ask him to come to see me. I want to ask him how he manages Jiangning County!"

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao walked towards the Royal Weaving Bureau. Before he could get close, more than a dozen people gathered around: "Are you here to sell cloth?"

"That's right," Zhu Youxiao replied with a smile.

As a result, as soon as he said this, a big man shouted: "Call me!"

Suddenly, more than a dozen Han Dynasty Zhu Youxiao came here.

However, before the big men rushed in, the person in front fell to the ground, and a big hole suddenly appeared in his chest, and blood flowed out.

Wu Jin and several Dongchang Fanzi, who were close to the bodyguard, also drew out his sword and walked towards the rest of the big men.

Seeing this, the gangsters knew that they had encountered a tough character and hurriedly wanted to run back, but Wu Jin still threw a knife and slashed directly on one person's calves. The man in pain had to fall to the ground and scream.

"Tell me quickly, who made you scatter in front of this royal weaving situation!"

When Wu Jin put the knife around the man's neck and asked, the gangster had to reply obediently: "Yes, it was the butler Wang of the Dong family who asked us to do it, saying that the Royal Weaving Bureau affected his business and asked us to drive away the customers who came here to buy cloth."

"Hmph, these bosses of weaving workshops can really do anything for their own interests. However, the dignified weaving bureau is still run by the official, so how could they be bullied to this point? What kind of food do these officials in Nanjing do? The Jiangning County Magistrate doesn't need to summon him and dismiss him directly. If I don't give me a reason to convince me, I will kill him directly!"
