Chapter 2561: Who is busy taking chestnuts from the fire, how can we forget the old hatred
When these commercial tax figures were taken to the court, all the ministers in the court were silent.
The most ridiculous thing is that it was precisely because Qiao Xingjian of them planned this attack on Tongzhou that the total amount of taxes and silver collected by the tax customs was far more than the previous total of the body tax and silk tax! This time, Shen Mo slapped them in the face with the facts.
Even if there are still people who want to attack Shen Mo's economic reform, they will not be able to catch any handle.
After that, emerging businessmen represented by the original small tea merchant Maolin began to gradually grow up and become the backbone of various business roads.
The consortium under Shen Mo also gradually began to give way to Maolin and other merchants and withdraw from the market bit by bit because their commander could not tolerate any commercial monopoly.
Of course, at this time, the four major consortiums had already obtained unimaginable massive profits in the action of defeating the monopoly merchants! Among them, the one who made the most ruthless was Shen Mo's father-in-law, Zhang Jiutai, the king of Jiangnan Silk.
Because the big impact of silk before this was actually equivalent to the fact that he had already earned two taels for every piece of silk purchased by Tongzhou! After that, Shen Mo finally asked Zhang Jiutai to ship a batch of mechanical silk produced in Tongzhou to major towns in the Song Dynasty, satisfying the people's eagerness to wait for the price of silk to drop.
As soon as these silks were launched, Lin'an and the people of the world were naturally full of joy! After that, when all the inventory in Tongzhou gradually ran out of the normal price among the people, Zhang Jiutai slowly withdrew from the monopoly field, and at this time the silk industry in the Song Dynasty also began to flourish! In addition to breaking the monopoly, the price decline caused many ordinary people to wear silk and satin.
For the huge and hungry market overseas, Shen Mo's silk reeling machine and weaving equipment also fed them.
At the same time, the wealth and raw materials of various countries are rushing towards the Song Dynasty.
Of course, the tea and ceramics also play a crucial role.
You should know that Shen Mo has always had a painful memory in his heart, which is China's tea export industry.
Before the late Qing Dynasty, China was the world's largest tea exporter.
More than 95% of the tea trade quota are from China.
At that time, the nobles and rich people all over the world were proud of being able to drink Chinese tea.
But an Opium War completely changed all this.
When opium was sold into the territory of China by the invaders, the gold and silver of China were immediately outflowing in large quantities every year.
...Note! At this time, almost all the opium was grown in India by the invaders.
After that, the Qing Dynasty could not ban opium, but it was difficult to suppress the outflow of silver.
So they slapped their heads and came up with an extremely clumsy idea, which was to grow opium and smoke it themselves! What they thought was, wouldn’t silver not flow out in this way?
But the result of the Qing government doing this was that after the Opium War ended, opium was planted everywhere in China.
India, which had been growing opium and sold to China, turned into the world's largest tea exporter by growing tea! After that, it was until the 21st century when Shen Mo traveled over.
China has completely lost the title of the largest exporter of tea. China's annual tea exports is less than one percent of the total world trade.
Tea produced in India, just a well-known black tea brand, accounts for 70% of the total tea transactions in the world! This incident has always been a great humiliation in Shen Mo's heart, so when Chinese tea began to be sold to all parts of the world with great momentum, Shen Mo secretly swears in his heart that he will never let the tragedy of the previous life repeat itself on the land of China! ... Seeing time like a prodigal son breaking into the spring boudoir, coming and going in a hurry.
As Shen Mo watched the Song Dynasty under his influence, changing rapidly, time passed rapidly in his fingers.
During this period, with the help of the old Indian chief, breeding of new crops from the Americas was very successful.
The large number of seeds brought back by Ling Xiaozi were quickly planted in areas with suitable latitude and soil, and then carefully cared for.
With the bumper harvest of new crops, farmers' planting experience is also growing rapidly.
In the second year, the crops that were officially promoted and then blossomed and bear fruit on the land belonging to Tongzhou, Lintao Sichuan, Huainan East Road and Shandong, achieving incredible harvests.
There are important food crops such as corn and potatoes, as well as oil crops such as peanuts and sunflowers.
There are also vegetables such as pumpkin, tomato, and pepper.
In addition, the rich output brought by countless American crops made farmers ecstatic! So much so that Shen Mo racked his brains to write down corn, potatoes, and various crops, such as corn, potatoes, and recipes, as much as possible, and promote them.
Of course, when doing these tasks, Shen Mo was also extremely excited.
Food, a huge shackle that once restricted the population of China, also blocked the gap in Tongzhou's industrial development.
Finally, it was filled with Shen Mo's efforts and turned into a broad and smooth road! When the breeding ended, these crops really began to enter thousands of households as food and vegetables, and everyone's lives were completely changed! On the night when Ling Xiaozi came back, Shen Mo was so greedy that he gritted his teeth. He made a basin of boiled meat slices with his own hands, and put a sufficient amount of pepper in it.
At that time, Lu Yunpai and his family members could not help but taste a small bite when they saw the husband eating so much... and then their faces changed drastically! After that, when Shen Mo was still eating voraciously, he looked at a silver needle under his nose and inserted it into the porcelain basin of boiled meat slices... It turned out that this was Miss Mo Xiaoluo, who was experienced in the martial arts world. After tasting the red thing, he was so spicy that he drank four glasses of water in succession, and then went to the yard to breathe for a long time.
Then when she came back, she insisted that this thing must be poisonous! So Xiao Luo used the trick of testing the poison in the silver needle... Of course, it made her husband laugh and cry.
At that time, Shen Mo had never expected that the spicy seasoning of chili pepper would become popular in China at a devilish speed.
