Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 7: Dingding Section 127 Great Development (1)
In view of the firm attitude of the new empire on this issue, the Situ family and the great nobles and gentry of the Tanghe Empire are also helpless, but this is not only related to their own interests, but also involves their own honor and face. Being kicked off the stage of history is undoubtedly announcing their complete end. Even if they want to step off the stage, they still need a step. In the end, under the mediation of Situ Yutang, the Imperial Courtesy Department finally accepted a compromise plan, that is, after the Imperial Courtesy Department re-examined the conditions and standards, some eligible former Tanghe Empire nobles and gentry could be granted canonization. The status of a lord other than the son of the prince is equivalent to a special status recognized by the local government through donations from the original Tanghe Empire. It is neither a real noble, but also shows a slight difference from ordinary people.
Until this time, the debate was finally settled. Although he did not have any political privileges, he had gained a decent step down after all. It can be regarded as a little psychological comfort for these people, and even to obtain this "honor" still needs to be selected and confirmed by the Ministry of Etiquette. They are willing to spend some time and money.
After eliminating this big problem, the remaining things are just some procedural problems, which seem much easier and simpler. It seems that the most auspicious and festive day in the Tang family is waiting for the third day of March. , Yangchun spirit, just symbolizes the rise of a new dynasty, as long as this day comes, everything seems to be solved, but in fact, all parts of the empire have already followed the steps established in Xijiang. , did not stop because of His Majesty's upcoming coronation.
Wang Zongxi, who took over Jiangnan, immediately began to rectify the economic order in Jiangnan, and re-introduced the policy of encouraging industry and commerce that had been fully implemented in Tiannan to Jiangnan. And the key supporting industries have been transferred to the financial and shipbuilding and shipping industries. As the governor of Jiangnan, Wang Zongxi believes that if Jiangnan wants to establish its economic leadership in the entire empire, it cannot be satisfied with restoring the original heyday of the Tanghe Empire, but must further establish the role of Jiangnan's economy in the entire empire. The dominant position has brought Jiangnan's economy to a higher level. The steps that Wang Zongxi chose to take Jiangnan to a higher level were the financial industry, shipbuilding industry, and ocean trade industry.
In Wang Zongxi's view, Jiangnan's industry and commerce had already reached its peak in the Tanghe Empire era. Now, in addition to recovering, it is more important to develop advantageous industries. The Jiangnan industry and commerce is rich and well-funded. It is the best condition for the development of the financial industry, and the financial industry is still in the ascendant era of the entire empire. With the continuous expansion of the empire's territory, a large number of areas with poor basic conditions but rich natural resources urgently need capital investment to promote development. At the beginning of the empire's establishment, the national policy of whether to develop first and then expand, or to expand and develop simultaneously has not yet been determined, but no matter which national policy, the problem of funding will be a long-term problem for the empire. How to resolve this problem means There are many, but vigorously supporting and developing the financial industry and allowing the financial industry to play a greater role in the development of empire building will be the most important move. And if Jiangnan can seize this opportunity, then Jiangnan's financial industry will usher in a period of rapid development. Jiangnan's financial industry will surely replace Zhongzhou as the leader of imperial finance.
Wang Zongxi, who has a keen sense of smell, has already noticed from His Royal Highness Qin's usual speech and behavior that His Highness Qin will never be content with the current status quo of the empire. Apart from continuing to expand the empire's sphere of influence from land, the sea will be the most important competition In particular, His Royal Highness King Qin made every effort to develop the navy, and even sent Ling Tianfang to Jiangnan in a hurry as soon as he entered Jiangnan. The Great Eastern Navy Fleet, as the supreme commander of the Western Xinjiang military, has worked tirelessly to inspect the Jiangnan Navy while the war on land has not yet ceased. Then he visited Milan to discuss the construction of the navy, and then made a detour to the South China Sea for inspection. In addition, the empire spared no effort to scramble for the Mawen Islands. Carry out the strategic concept of paying equal attention to sea and land. In particular, the emphasis on maritime rights and interests is unprecedented.
As for the core of Jiangnan's economy - the entire industry and commerce, it is the future direction of Jiangnan's economic development to push all kinds of exquisite and plentiful commodities in Jiangnan to the middle mainland, the western continent, and even the new continent in the future. One point, the development of the shipbuilding industry and the ocean trade industry is the first condition.
Wang Zongxi puts the other two priorities of Jiangnan's development on the shipbuilding industry and the ocean trade industry. He also has his own considerations. The basic one is that ships are inseparable, and Jiangnan already has a good foundation in the shipbuilding industry. Although the shipbuilding industry was not as large as Milan in the era of the Tanghe Empire, it was not behind in terms of technology. As long as the government supports it, Jiangnan's shipbuilding industry can surpass Milan to become the number one in the Eastern Continent, and the development of the shipbuilding industry will definitely drive A series of industries, such as wood processing, lacquer making, cotton weaving, and iron smelting, will usher in an opportunity for development. With the strong foundation of the shipbuilding industry, the fishing industry, shipping industry, and ocean trade industry will all have opportunities for development. A solid platform is obtained.
Commercial trade has always been the strong point of Jiangnan merchants, but although Jiangnan merchants occupy the top spot in the trading industry in the empire, they are more engaged in trade within the empire and surrounding areas. However, the trade industry is dominated by merchants from Milan, the Nanyang Alliance, and the Peninsula area. Jiangnan merchants sell a large amount of goods to Milan, the city-states of the Nanyang Alliance, and the Peninsula area, while merchants in Milan, the Nanyang Alliance, and the Peninsula area are reselling these Commodities were shipped to the Central and Western Continents for huge profits, and even merchants from the Central and Western Continents joined this industry later, making the imperial merchants mainly in Jiangnan completely excluded from this extremely lucrative industry.
The development of the ocean trade industry will also bring immeasurable benefits to the entire Jiangnan economy. Once the ocean trade has achieved substantial development, it will definitely drive the development of all industrial and commercial industries, especially the tea industry and cotton textile industry. , silk industry, ceramics industry, jewelry industry, handicraft manufacturing industry, and salt industry are the strengths of Jiangnan's manufacturing industry. These commodities will be continuously exported to the Central and Western mainland to seize the market and win more and larger markets for Jiangnan.
For these reasons, Wang Zongxi hopes to change this unequal situation. With the eastern peninsula falling into the hands of the empire, the imperial navy on the Mawen Islands has also gained a foothold, and the imperial navy is also flourishing. , showing the authority of the empire in the Southern Ocean. The Empire and the Triple Alliance have also signed a cooperation agreement. From the Eastern Ocean to the Southern Ocean, everything is going smoothly. The right time, place and people have already taken advantage of it. If the Jiangnan merchants do not seize this opportunity Going out, with Zhong Wenjing's keenness, the South China Sea Dominion will monopolize this opportunity without hesitation, making Jiangnan forever lose the possibility of monopolizing the ocean trade industry. Wang Zongxi does not want to see such a situation.
It should be said that Wang Zongxi also received warm welcome and strong support from the Jiangnan business community when he came to Jiangnan. His performance in Tiannan is obvious to all. Situ Tai's torment provided a good opportunity for development. The south-central region of the empire thus became another key investment area for Jiangnan merchants, and Jiangnan business forces also stepped into the central-south region of the empire. The remote areas that people have never thought about have also become investment hotspots.
With good popularity and excellent performance, Wang Zongxi quickly opened up the situation in Jiangnan~IndoMTL.com~ With the support of the unprecedented unity of the Jiangnan business community, Wang Zongxi's series of financial, shipbuilding and The industrial and commercial policies mainly encouraging ocean trade were quickly implemented. The performance of Yuhang Chengshou Bai Yuanzhong was particularly eye-catching. Not only did he fully promote the reorganization and expansion of Yuhang Shipyard, but the Chengshou Mansion also cooperated with the Governor’s Office to introduce a series of encouragement for ocean trade. and the policy of ocean exploration, and vigorously attract the reorganization and integration of the financial industry in Yuhang, strengthen the strength of the financial industry, encourage the financial industry to boldly go out of Yuhang and Jiangnan, and go to Zhongnan County, East Tengger County and other underdeveloped areas to expand the market. The government is willing to provide Necessary guarantee.
The unprecedented ferocity of the development momentum in the south of the Yangtze River made the neighboring counties feel tremendous pressure, especially the East China Sea in the north and the Five Lakes in the west.
As the governor of Wuhu County, although Su Minshun has been an official in the Government Affairs Department, he has always hoped to get an opportunity to flex his muscles in the local area, and the appointment of the Governor of Wuhu made him finally get such a opportunity. As Wufeng's close friend, Su Minshun received a special summon from Wufeng before he left. Wufeng only raised two points for Su Minshun to ensure that the Five Lakes region will serve as the empire's granary. The status will not be weakened, and the balanced and harmonious development of industry, commerce and agriculture in the Five Lakes region will be promoted. Wufeng's meaningful words have also made Su Minshun deeply understand the importance of the Five Lakes to the entire empire.
