As the saying goes, it is difficult to provide help in times of need, but it is easy to add icing on the cake. After Zhao Zhenshan came over, Zheng He's business started to flourish.
At the same time, there were several classmates from military households in the previous training class.
These three people basically enjoyed free training from Gao Hanwen, so this time Zheng and He have Gao Hanwen's endorsement, and the three of them still trust them very much.
Military households are different from ordinary people because in the early Ming Dynasty, Taizu established a health school for military guards and had always encouraged military households to take the imperial examination. The conditions for that day were that the family must have enough places for a regular soldier.
Therefore, the overall cultural level of military households is quite high. Even the daughters and women of military households basically know their own names, and many of them can even write their own names.
In addition, because military families have to transport goods, the women in the family do not have the habit of foot binding.
Thus, these military women are the main force of the textile industry, just like the good sons of the military in the past.
Who could not believe it if the scholars were honest, so the three of them worked together to reserve more than 200 places for Zheng and He in one go.
While Zheng and He were piecing together things to make a comeback, the re-planned new district finally got under way.
The coal washing and fire brick technology spread from Qianhushuo greatly accelerated the construction progress.
This kind of brick-wood mixed building structure greatly saves the consumption of wood in building houses. Although the seismic performance of traditional structures is significantly lower than that of traditional structures, Hangzhou should be fine.
In line with the principle of rapid development and functional zoning, the middle is the commercial area, the four corners are industrial areas, and the rest are residential areas. The purpose is to balance commuting to work and business exchanges.
Although it is only the 16th century, in fact, the old city of Hangzhou has been extremely congested in the past few months. It is natural to widen the road surface, but functional zoning to reduce unnecessary commuting is even more necessary.
On the other side of transportation, rail transportation was also introduced as suggested by Gao Hanwen. Since there was a surplus of steel produced by Qianhu, a horse-drawn train was designed and built around the new area, connecting the Four Corners Industrial Area and the surrounding residential areas. There is also a horse-drawn train connecting the new area to the old city.
In the business district, in addition to the business district, various stadiums, gymnasiums, theaters, and stages are the core designs. If a city wants to make money, it is useless to rely solely on production. Because most of the money from production goes to the factory owners. The money earned by the factory must be fed back to society through various types of consumption.
In this way, a positive cycle of wealth can be formed, and during this cycle, the city's wealth can grow bigger and bigger. Only production, especially the production of primary products, will only widen the gap between the rich and the poor. Firstly, there will be insufficient potential for regional development. Secondly, those old Confucian scholars still have the ability to find fault, and it is difficult not to be impeached.
Of course, the above is an ideal situation. If the consumption upgrade fails, Gao Hanwen can only package everything as if everyone is working hard and living by themselves, and thenIt was tacitly agreed to set aside some private areas, where dogs and poor people were not allowed to enter, so that the upper class could be separated to avoid irritating the fragile nerves of these old Confucian scholars. This allows consumption to circulate within the upper class, slowly waiting for the day when industry and commerce will expand and undergo qualitative changes.
As for the land in the entire new area that far exceeds the old city, it is basically the Weaving Bureau, recruiting all the famous gentry and banks in Hangzhou as well as the four business groups in Taixi Fang, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands, to contribute money Bought it as a master plan.
Here, money and power are basically unequal. The Weaving Bureau paid out 100,000 taels of silver, of which 50,000 taels of silver were exchanged for various equipment, accounting for 30% of the equity. The four major Thai-Western business groups contributed 200,000 taels of silver, with 250,000 taels paid in five installments, accounting for 20% of the equity. Among them, the Weaving Bureau came forward to obtain naturalization quotas for a total of 250 people from the four major Thai-Spanish business groups. Of course, there must be an additional condition: Confucianism must pass the boy test.
In order to be a Ming Dynasty citizen in this life, I worked hard, so I considered it an investment immigrant.
After that came the local industrial and commercial households that followed the opening of the Weaving Bureau, including maritime merchants from Fujian and Hui merchants from Anhui. A total of 200,000 taels of silver were paid in five installments. 200,000 taels, equity ratio 20.
Another 10 shares were directly assigned to the Ming Central Court.
Then Zhejiang Province and Hangzhou City each offered 25 shares, but each actually contributed 10,000 taels. The main source of funds is the newly collected commercial taxes this year.
In the end, Gao Hanwen was given a veto power in his personal congress, which served as a hub of unity and trust for many shareholders.
Zhang Xunfu sees these things and is anxious in his heart.
Because Ming Dynasty basically does not interfere in private business, no matter how you design it, there will be no problem. The veto power that Gao Hanwen got was just a veto and had nothing to do with equity income.
But the problem is that this thing could have been submitted to the central government to formulate a reform plan and then run from top to bottom. I don't understand why Gao Hanwen is so stubborn that he will only report it after it is effective, and ask the superiors to ratify it.
