After saying this, Hu Zongxian immediately realized that he was stunned. I quickly cleared my brain and asked: "Taixi really made such a big profit"
"Master Butang can come to Hangzhou Taixifang after the war and find out. Just get down." As you can see, the wages paid to long-term and short-term workers in Taixi are basically more than three times that of the gentry in Hangzhou, and more than the big craftsmen in the Weaving Bureau. They are not doing charity to benefit the Ming Dynasty." Gao Havana knows how to directly talk about Taixi's global trade. How about this, it can easily lead to rebellion, and you might as well see the big thing as a small thing.
"This, this, if you calculate it this way, wouldn't it be easy for the Taixi people to hire the smartest people in the Ming Dynasty? Even the scholars would be tempted, even those who have no official status and don't have much wealth. "High prefect, this kind of excessively high salary will be detrimental to the court in the long run." Hu Zongxian suddenly felt that something was wrong.
“Budang, what you should really worry about is that Taixi people can still make money even if they pay three times the salary. This means that the people of our Ming Dynasty can create value that far exceeds three times the salary in Taixi’s hands. And In the Ming Dynasty, with the current wages, the gentry court is still trying its best to squeeze them. Is it because we, the gentry of the Ming Dynasty, are too stingy, or because we, the gentry court of the Ming Dynasty, simply cannot bring out the value of the people of the Ming Dynasty?"
Watching Hu Zongxian fall into silence. , Gao Hanwen quickly added.
"It is impossible to isolate the country from the influence of the Westerners by closing the country. The coasts of Guangzhou and Fujian have already sailed to Southeast Asia in droves. And the only hope is Lord Butang's circumnavigation. We, the Ming Dynasty's richest people In the world, as long as you learn their value creation methods, you don’t have to surpass them, and you will naturally be able to create value far beyond imagination. With the advantage of scale, no one can compete and win."
Gao Hanwen also wants to do this. The poor dagger met. Previously promoted Shen Yishi's trip to Taixi. But this behavior can only persuade the emperor, and it may lead to Jiajing or even the emperor in the future to pursue the monopoly of foreign trade more urgently.
The real final word has to be a civil official. The travel notes and experiences of civil servants are the consensus of the world. When Hu Zongxian said that overseas is worth visiting. Whether it is the strict party, Qingliu, or inland people, they will naturally follow him as a guide. At that time, openness was the general trend.
Of course, the emergence of a more impartial civil servant like Hu Zongxian was naturally an important weight to balance the selfishness of Emperor Jiajing. Otherwise, things will backfire and it will be a bit dumbfounding.
"Okay, okay, okay. After four or five days, I can go to Hangzhou to see you. The war is basically over. Eunuch Zhong must have told you." Hu Zongxian was not too entangled. , thought about it for a while and agreed.
After talking about personal matters, Gao Hanwen naturally talked about leasing newly restored farmland for the refugees.
Hu Zongxian was really dumbfounded. The young man in front of him really wanted to repay someone as soon as he gave him a little benefit. Not even polite to ask for help every two days.
Fortunately, Hu Zongxian naturally knows the dangers of refugee pressure.
But the problem is not whether Hu Zongxian thinks about it or not. It is that the gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have already sent over many of the original land deeds. And because Zhejiang is converting rice into mulberry this time to make money, many people are planning to plant mulberry trees and switch to weaving.
Planting mulberry trees and weaving cannot accommodate many people compared to farming.
Although the gathering of refugees is a problem, the land deeds are not fake. There is no truly ownerless land in Jiangnan. If this is not returned, trouble will also occur.
Hu Zongxian did not immediately respond, but because the land deeds were still being calculated, he asked Gao Hanwen to stay in the military camp for a few more days to discuss the matter together. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
