Chapter 474

After the new year, businessmen from all over the country began to leave Nanjing and return to all parts of the country.

Everyone was full of energy. After some small businessmen decided to go back, they began to expand their business scale and let their children prepare for the exam.

Qin Huan mainly chose to support some small merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang this time. As for large merchants, it was up to them to seize the opportunity.

In order to make those small merchants confident, Qin Huan gave them two options: one is to provide low interest loans by the Royal Bank and sign a cooperation contract with the commercial bank, and the other is to inject capital directly by the Royal commercial bank. However, the commercial bank needs to send a supervisor to supervise the accounts, and will not intervene in the specific expansion of business.

Most small businessmen choose to accept direct shares from the royal family. After all, this is not only insurance, but also a relationship with the royal family. However, a small number of people do not want to be deeply involved with the royal family and choose loans.

As for Qin Huan's description, there will be a shortage of all kinds of goods in the whole Qin Dynasty. All businessmen agree.

Not to mention those muddy legs, they have turned over now. The Government Affairs Council will invest 100 million taels of silver in the next two years to build various projects, which makes people's scalp numb.

There is no tradition of letting the people work for free in the state of Qin. They not only eat and live, but also pay wages. It can be predicted what will happen in the whole Jiangnan Huguang area in the future.

Therefore, except for the extremely conservative people, other businessmen decided to go back and expand their scale more or less. Naturally, the craziest ones were the ambitious small businessmen who accepted the royal capital injection.

When winter goes and spring comes, the whole Jiangnan is very lively.

One mu of good farmland has been changed into mulberry fields, and countless farmers have become mulberry farmers.

Workshops have sprung up, textile machines are ringing, and women who can spin and weave have become fragrant pastries for a time.

Clothing, food, housing and transportation, clothing rank first, and the most rapidly developing natural factor textile industry. The textile industry is precisely a densely populated industry, which is the best industry to promote the agricultural society into the industrial society.

In order to encourage the development of the textile industry, drive other industries, and make the people all over the world can afford cotton, silk and satin, Qin Huan also went out of his way and allowed all places to destroy their fields and plant mulberry.

After all, grain can be planted everywhere, but it's necessary to pick a place to raise silkworms and mulberry and develop the textile industry. It's even suitable in Jiangnan. Let's do it! Anyway, Jiangnan is close to the coast. Food shortage can be transported from anywhere. Rice in Southeast Asia and India is very fragrant.

Although Qin Huan had strongly encouraged the development of Commerce and the expansion of production scale, it would take some time after all. Therefore, when the people had silver in their pockets, there was still a shortage of all kinds of goods. Prices also rose in a hurry. The treasure money in the hands of the people began to depreciate, and inflation was exposed.

Apart from food and salt, Qin Huan could not control all kinds of other commodities, and did not want to control them, because the price rise this time was not a malicious bid up by businessmen, but a market phenomenon. Moreover, he also understood that the inflation of economic development could not be avoided.

Unless we bury the huge amounts of silver from the Government Council, Royal commercial banks and banks in the ground like the rich landlords, but this is impossible.

As a modern man, Qin Huan naturally understood that the country's financial deficit is the most beneficial to economic development. If all the silver is buried underground, it will become a backwater again.

Moreover, inflation is also a survival of the fittest. With the depreciation of treasure money and silver, the old wealth of landlords who do not want to make progress and the silver buried in the ground will continue to shrink. As long as it is controlled within a reasonable range, it will not have a great impact on the people.

With the royal family and the Government Council scattering a large number of treasure bills and Yuan treasures, earth shaking changes are taking place in the whole Jiangnan. There are people building official roads, docks and cement plants everywhere, and there are caravans and fleets coming and going everywhere.

The situation in the whole world is also changing. First of all, Niu Er is losing ground in Shandong. He has retreated to Xuzhou and began to harden his head to ask Qin Huan for help.

The Eight Banners army led by Dourgen has annexed the whole of Shandong. Hong Chengchou, who has been besieged in Jinan for a year, finally can't stick to it. Like the eight banners, he fell and became a traitor.

The other army of the Eight Banners was also victorious in Shanxi. It was forced from Xuanfu Datong to Taiyuan. As Taiyuan was broken, the king finally couldn't sit still. He had to send an army from Sichuan to southern Shanxi to resist the army of the eight banners.

This greatly reduced the pressure of the eight kings. From the original disadvantage, they were pressed and gradually began to take the initiative, occupying almost the whole South and East Sichuan, while the West and North Sichuan are still under the control of the army.

The only thing in Sichuan is that the sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty is still hanging on the head of Shizhu city. Qin Liangyu, the chief soldier of Shizhu, supports it to death. He is unwilling to submit to the eight kings or the Chuang king.

At this time, at the head of Shizhu City, Qin Liangyu was over sixty years old, dressed in military uniform, holding the hilt of the sword, quietly looking at the west, with a thick worry and helplessness on his face.

When the sound of hurried footsteps came, Qin Liangyu suddenly looked back and saw that the visitor was his niece. He immediately came forward and said anxiously, "how about Lihua? Can there be news from Chengdu?"

"Aunt, I just received the news that three days ago, the Chu army broke through Chengdu, and the king of Shu... The king of Shu was slaughtered by the eight kings."

The woman was also dressed in velvet, tall and beautiful, and said with a sad face.

"Rebel! I'm at odds with you... "

Qin Liangyu looked up at the sky and cried sadly. He pulled out his sword and roared. Then he stumbled and almost fell.

"Aunt..." Qin Lihua hurried forward to hold her, worried.

"Is heaven really going to kill me Daming?" Qin Liangyu held the wall stack and gasped for a while before he said sadly. The whole person seemed to be drained of energy.

"Aunt, now even his Highness the king of Shu... What should we do in the future?" Qin Lihua was also confused. The whole stone pillar added up to less than 10000 soldiers to fight.

If the eight kings and Chuang Wang hadn't paid attention to them, and the stone pillars were easy to defend and difficult to attack, I'm afraid they would have been broken long ago, so I can only watch the rebels break Chengdu without being able to rescue.

"I Qin liangyusheng is the Minister of Daming, and death is the ghost of Daming. Even if I fight to the last person, I will never surrender to the anti thief. Lihua, I heard that his highness King GUI escaped at the beginning. My aunt guessed that his highness should go to Yunnan. Duke Mu has guarded Yunnan for generations and is loyal to Daming. You will send someone to Yunnan to inquire about the news, We must find out whether his highness King GUI has ascended the throne in Yunnan. "

Qin Liangyu returned the sword to the scabbard, with a firm face, and then summoned up his spirit and ordered his niece.

"Aunt, Yunnan is located in the border, with few people and poor land. Even if his Highness the king of Guangxi really ascended the throne in Yunnan, I'm afraid he won't be able to return to heaven in the end. The Qin thief sent an envoy again. The conditions for this opening are much higher than last time. It's better... Better..."

Qin Lihua sighed and knew that her aunt was just comforting herself. After thinking about it, she couldn't resist persuading.

"Don't mention it again. The Qin thief is not a good thing. If he hadn't caused trouble all over the world and conquered Nanjing, why would my Daming be reduced to today?"

Qin Liangyu said angrily.

Obviously, I hate Qin Huan as a villain.

Qin Lihua also knew her aunt's temper. She opened her mouth and didn't continue to persuade her. Both her uncle and cousin died loyal to Daming. Now it's more painful for her aunt to betray Daming than to kill her.

But Daming is really dead. Now even his last hope, his Highness the king of Shu, has been killed by anti thieves. Can they really survive in Shizhu?
