Wen Ren was promoted to the Military Academy. This was his own official position, which was very different from the previous one where he was relied on by others.
So this means that his industry can expand again.
After all, it is impossible for others to settle too many things for you, only you can settle too many things for yourself.
Ordinary dignitaries and relatives mainly focus on pleasure in their daily lives, and they will not spend time on such a miserable, tiring and troublesome business as business.
They don’t even do reading, let alone this kind of thing?
They will only do one thing, and that is to sit back and enjoy the results.
Anything difficult, their first reaction is to refuse and resist.
Even Zheng Zhilong, after dominating the eastern ocean, lost his enterprising spirit and became a guard dog.
There are still few heroes like Cao Cao and Liu Bei who earn and fight for a lifetime.
Wen Rensheng began to intervene in maritime trade this time.
The way to intervene is to prepare a hundred loads of raw silk. One load can make a profit of one hundred taels. We receive 90 taels from the silk farmers and sell it to the maritime merchants for 180 taels. The merchants then sell it to the island country for 340 taels.
Of course it is superior.
This is an extra ten thousand taels of profit.
Wenren directly used the feudal and decadent method of winning over the loyal and brave soldiers in the battle before he was promoted to general, giving money, land, and wives... to win them over to his own express shipping company to serve as sailors and bodyguards.
This is actually the servant.
The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were enthusiastic about this.
Most people who want to be servants have no way of doing it.
You have to change your surname, recognize your godfather, and fulfill your feudal obligations of loyalty and filial piety.
This is the main road for promotion in the military. The other roads are too narrow and are not the mainstream. They are all exceptions.
For example, being appreciated for your bravery in battle, and making great achievements in full view of the public: entering the city first, beheading generals and capturing flags, and escaping with the main guard...
These are credits that are not easily taken away.
Imagine the difficulty.
Wen Rensheng collected 81 names in one breath.
All changed their surname to Li.
Is this a taboo thing?
Of course it's taboo, but it's the end of the Ming Dynasty and officials have long been accustomed to it.
The business expanded rapidly.
Cooking is very simple, just merge the original business.
From gold and silver shops to grain shops, to cloth, silk, blacksmith shops, and carpenter shops, all were merged...
In the city where Li Bingbeidao was located, the Li Family Street appeared. Two streets, three streets, very fast.
Don't make new cakes, just eat old cakes.
The advantage is safety.
The people promoted by Wenren are all loyal and capable people. With the same method and the same process, the work efficiency is 50% better than before, and in some cases it is even several times higher.
Because the original shopkeepers and waiters had too many things, just like the Xue family and the Jia family in Dream of Red Mansions. Later, they themselves fell down, and the servants and shopkeepers got up.
As long as these guys are killed, the original profits can be greatly increased.
The disadvantage is that officials and dignitaries who are originally filial and respectful are looking for trouble.
This is simple. Wen Rensheng directly took over all the original filial piety and gave it to them.
How many powerful people are willing to offend Bing Beidao personally?
They are just places after all.
Behind Wen Rende is a senior official in the ministry, and Wang Shilang has already entered Beijing.
Of course, going to Beijing these days is courting death, and it is far worse than being a local official in Jiangnan.
After all, there are still 20 years of happiness left.
Going to Beijing to serve as an official means that there will be an invasion of Donglu every two years.
Every year there is no peace of mind.
Enjoy it with trepidation.
As for the senior officials in the ministry, they only have a deterrent effect and a good reputation, and their lives are far inferior to those of their colleagues in the southeast.
But at this time, it can at least help Wen Rensheng to intimidate the local dignitaries, vassal kings and eunuchs.
The vassal kings had very little actual power.
Emperor Chongzhen seems to be worried about the privacy of his relatives, but once the vassal princes show their desire for power, even if it is to save King Qin, they will immediately turn against him.
So Wen Rensheng is not afraid of these vassal kings. If they dare to cause trouble, one who intends to threaten local ministers and conspire to rebel can be directly put to death.
It’s just that everyone doesn’t want to play so hard.
Anyway, Wen Rensheng walked with two hands, relying on power with one hand and military strength with the other. In this way, the resistance of the old system could be minimized.
On the other hand, he is just a military leader, just like Zuo Liangyu and Li Chengliang.
After doing all this, Wen Rensheng began to check the progress of his opponent.
It took him two years to prepare his troops and make an annual profit of 300,000 taels. He was definitely a wealthy man.
It can support 5,000 servants and 400 large and small ships.
After these things are taken away, there will only be 50,000 taels of mobile silver left.
But don’t worry, as an official, he still has routine filial piety and routine... he can earn 7,000 to 15,000 taels of silver a year.
A fifth-grade civil officer and military officer, located in the southeast, does not have much money.
Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.
This is not an exaggeration.
His official position and dispatch are much more powerful than the prefect.
Now, he wants to take a look at the opponent's power level.
…………
Liaodong.
Shengjing of the Great Jin Kingdom.
Player A has become a Khan.
Yes, Wen Rensheng turned into a big sweat at first glance.
I still used the same tricks, relying on my ability to be a good social person, to win over the big Baylor and the third Baylor, intimidate the second Baylor, and then kill the mother of the three brothers Azig, Dorgon, and Duduo to prevent them. Form a synergy.
In the end, everyone from the Eight Banners agreed that he was the most capable of leading Dajin to win the living space under the attack of the three parties of the Northern Lu, the Eastern Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, in the Palace of the Great Khan in Shengjing.
“Use the Manchus to control the Han, the masters to control the slaves, the Eight Banners as a clan of armed forces, and the weak and incompetent Nikans as a farming clan, to support the eight banners’ armed forces who are out of production. In this way, I have 208,000 The flag can produce 70,000 soldiers, and everyone can practice it every day."
Player Huang Taiji said while sitting in the Khan seat where the four of them were.
Many little Beile, Beizi, Gushan Ezhen nodded their heads one after another.
The Khan's words deeply touched their hearts.
The old Khan was crazy.
Kill all the people without grain in the end.
Anyone who does not have five pecks of rice at home will be killed.
I feel that supporting them is too difficult.
As a result, many people's Baoyi were also killed, and they had to take care of the field affairs themselves, and they couldn't scream for the hard work. Because the entire Daikin is still a slave-military system.
Military law is strict.
The whole of Dajin is slavery headed by the Great Khan, and the slave owners are the Great Khan and his direct descendants.
As for why it can still be maintained under such strict military law, of course it is because of the threat of the giant Ming Dynasty.
At this time, no one among the Jurchens thought that they could destroy the Ming Dynasty.
At most, they thought they could achieve the great cause of the former Jin Dynasty, which was to occupy the land north of the Yellow River. At most, they thought they could divide the Yangtze River and rule it with the Ming Dynasty.
Under such external pressure, they will endure harsh military laws in order to survive.
At least 70% of people believe that this harsh military law maintained their victory, maintained their reputation as invincible, and helped them survive.
In this case, executing those who violate military law will not trigger a large-scale backlash.
The dignitaries of the Eight Banners will not discuss the wrongness of military law in private.
The Great Khan was able to rely on justice and military law to deal with those who had the same interests.
If the external environment is relaxed, some people will hate the harsh military law.
Just like the Eight Banners fell rapidly after the Qing Dynasty entered the Pass. Because I found that I had no opponents, I could enjoy myself in peace.
If you want to use harsh military laws at this time, no one will listen to you. They will secretly oppose you and resist you. What can you do even if you are the Great Khan?
The later Emperor Jiaqing was assassinated twice in his own palace, once by the cook, and once by Tianli attacking the palace. The ministers just watched and did nothing.
Doesn’t Jiaqing want to use harsh military laws?
It's useless. The most he can do is behead the relevant people and those who have committed the greatest crime. He can't even do it if he involves the nine clans.
"Great Khan, your will is very good, but we are still short of food. Now we can plant an acre of land, but we can't get the seeds back. What's the use of so many coatings to us?" Sanbeile said directly.
“Oh, what Sanbeile said is very good. I once ordered Shanxi merchants to search for fine seeds in the Ming Dynasty for me, and I got two kinds of gods, one is sweet potato and the other is corn. They can adapt to drought. Each acre can produce one to two stones of grain. The key is that it will produce even if there is a drought."
"I now order the Eight Banners to allocate ten villages to plant two crops, and I will allocate grain from the public. These Zhuangzi.”
"In addition, this is the "Agricultural Book" written by a great Confucian scholar named Xu Guangqi in the Ming Dynasty. Now we are recruiting more scholars among the Han people to specialize in interpretation and promote agricultural production."
"In this way Come, the Han people can grow more food. The more Han people we have, the more food we have. The more food we have, the more armor we have, the more firearms we have, the stronger our Eight Banners will be.”
"The Ming Dynasty can only dispatch 150,000 troops at a time, but military discipline is corrupt. As long as we dispatch 70,000 troops, they are no match for us. When we can dispatch 200,000 troops, it will be the end of the Ming Dynasty!"
" Long live the Great Khan!”
“Destroy the Ming, destroy the Ming!”
A group of little Beile, Beizi, and Gushan Ezhen were all inspired by the prospects described by the Great Khan.
Yes, as long as more grain is produced, each family will be able to feed themselves more, create more wealth, and the stronger their military strength will be.
Anyway, there is plenty of land in Liaodong, and at least tens of millions of acres of land can be reclaimed. It could not be reclaimed before, mainly because of low grain output and cold temperatures. If you grow grain, you will lose money.
So there is no profit motive to feed Bao Yi, but just to rob them and make them slaves.
The stronger the troops, the more coats can be snatched.
As Huang Taiji clapped his hands, the two eunuchs took out two plates.
Okay, Donglu has learned to grow high-yielding crops.
However, for high-yield crops, we still need to improve varieties and find ways to grow them.
The initial yield was not high. Otherwise, if it really cost three or four thousand catties per acre compared to later generations, wouldn’t the local officials go crazy?
If the officials don’t plant it, and the local big business owners are not stupid, they will definitely rush in and force the tenant farmers to plant these crops.
When Wen Rensheng saw this, he immediately understood that the difficulty was increasing dramatically.
Huang Taiji in history had no such method, but he improved the strategic situation of the Jin Kingdom.
Suppressed the DPRK and forced the vassals to pay tribute; and occupied the eastern Mongolia, which allowed them to avoid the heavily guarded and costly Shanhaiguan Pass and enter through the Mongolian border wall.
From then on, things in Mingbian were completely over.
The fortress that took more than ten years and 4 to 7 million taels to build is meaningless.
The Manchu Qing changed the name of the country and entered once every two years. After digestion, they invaded again. Relying on the flesh and blood of the Ming Dynasty, they survived the famine, fed the Eight Banners, and became stronger and stronger.
This is the biggest problem with fortress tactics: you cannot defeat your opponent in the field. Your opponent has the initiative and can kill you as long as he takes a detour.
Huang Taiji then said to everyone: "Very good, I am very happy today. Everyone is wise and knows that we are under great pressure at the moment. There is the Eastern Dynasty in the east, the Mongols in the west, and the Ming Dynasty in the south."
"We must bite the bullet and wait until next year to plunder the Ming Dynasty and capture more officials, especially the scholars, not the candidates and Jinshi."
"Everyone understands. Right? ”
"Yes, Khan." Everyone was convinced.
Da Beile took a look and suddenly said: "The Great Khan is far more wise than the Ming Emperor of the Southern Dynasty, but the Ming Emperor can sit alone facing south, how can we be offended?"
With that said, he got down directly from the chair where the four of them were sitting.
Then he knelt down directly and kowtowed to Huang Taiji.
"Second brother, how can this be done? Please get up quickly." Huang Taiji showed joy and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "We brothers are of the same mind, how can we compare with the internal strife in the Southern Dynasty?"
< br>
At this time, Second Beile and Third Beile also quickly got down from their chairs and knelt down reluctantly.
But Big Baylor and their second brother have knelt down. If they are still on top, they will only arouse the dissatisfaction of the powerful people.
What's more, Huang Taiji has won over the Eight Banners dignitaries, large and small, with his excellent seeds and future prospects, coupled with his usual win over, and has become powerful.
They had to come down too.
Seeing this, Wen Rensheng had to sigh.
This player really combines Huang Taiji's previous personality and abilities, and then adds his own abilities.
In this way, the other party's power growth in one year will far exceed one's own.
After all, the other party has a military group of 200,000 people.
I only have 10,000 people now, and the centripetal force is far not as strong as the other party.
But its own advantage is that it relies on the red-haired people to have overseas trade.
The huge profits from sea trade are worthy of a battle.
Wen Rensheng then decided to set up a secret organization.
"Now that I have set up a sticky pole, if there is any noise, you can get rid of it for me." Wen Rensheng found fifteen adopted sons and said to them.
“Yes, foster father!” Fifteen people said in unison.
No one dares to object.
If you oppose it, you will die and lose everything you have.
Their greatest ambition at this time is just to get ahead, get promoted to a higher position.
"Very good, I will set up three locations: Xun Sheng, Sticky Rod, and Fried Fried. They will be given to three of you respectively. Each of you will have four people. Then each location will be assigned 100 servants. All expenses will be kept in the account. "
Wen Rensheng said.
"Yes, foster father." Everyone said in unison.
Wen Rensheng then gave them a copy of "Yongjian" written by the ancients to study.
This has long been known by ancient people.
How to bribe the craftsman, spy on the opponent's movements, bribe the buyer, bribe the woman who can travel around the streets, and know what is going on in the front yard from the backyard...
All these, hearing people Shengdu told them to practice first.
The more you practice, the more you can use it.
The target of the training was naturally this city at the beginning. If something really happened, he would have enough influence to intimidate the county magistrate and let him release those people.
