The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Yan Chengjin personally came to Yongqing, and it turned out to be a place where birds just leave after pooping.

However, after the trip, I had an idea in my mind.

This is a place where God favors food, but Han Song doesn't know how to use it.

In the capital, more than 10,000 households need tens of thousands of household items to move into new homes, and the capital can supply only a limited amount of household items.

Yongqing is full of mountains and forests, and the territory it governs is vast. Wood is nothing but wood. If you chop it down and sell it for charcoal, it is better to make it into household items.

There is an advantage here compared with Wanping.

It was far away from the capital, and the smell of pulp emitted by papermaking could not reach the capital.

"Master Wang, go and tell the county magistrate of Yongqing that a good businessman wants to make a big deal."

"Master, this... no one here has trouble doing business, right?"

Wang Busui muttered that he didn't see many merchants along the way, and the people wanted to move away.

If there is no one, there will be no business.

Moreover, the people were not rich, so they could not afford to spend money.

After saying this, he found Yan Chengjin looking at him intently, and quickly closed his mouth, "I'll do it now, young master. What do you want to do?"

Half an hour later, the Yamen of Yongqing County.

"Master Han, there is a merchant outside who wants to make a big deal with you."

The Yamen servant trotted in and quickly informed Han Song.

When Han Song heard this, he looked at the county magistrate, somewhat shocked.

Master Yan is here?

He immediately picked up the official hat on the desk, and then strode out of the government office, only to see a fat-bellied businessman standing in front of the government office with a smile.

"I want to see Yongqing's yellow album."

Han Song frowned and looked around to see if there was any broken sedan. Yan Chengjin didn't come.

Disappointed, he looked at the merchant in front of him.

"What do you want to do with the pornography?"

"Looking at the territory and people in Yongqing, the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce wants to build a large workshop here. The price is negotiable."

Wang Busui was twirling his goatee.

Only after looking at the population of Yongqing people did we know how big a workshop we should build, although the young master said the bigger the better.

But he always felt that doing business was risky.

Han Song glanced at the man in front of him, cupped his hands towards the merchant, his face moved slightly, "Please come to Wang Dong's house."

As expected, Master Yan was watching.

At this time, in Yongqing County, Yan Chengjin determined the location of the workshop at a glance and asked He Neng to drive the carriage back to the capital.

Halfway through the journey, he found Zhu Houzhao waiting for him, carrying a deer and golden pheasant.

"Lao Gao, I just saw people carrying pots and pans. Is there going to be dinner somewhere?"

"No, it's migration."

“Why do people move?”

"The emperor was in a coma and it was difficult to survive, so the people went to neighboring counties to find other livelihoods." Yan Chengjin said straightforwardly.

Zhu Houzhao, however, looked like a man who was fine and said cheerfully: "When I get back to the palace, I will talk about my father."

"..." Yan Chengjin.

Returning to his hometown from Yongqing, Zhu Houzhao also followed him back to his hometown, playing with the pheasants and deer he had hunted.

"Lao Gao, tomorrow the masters will ask me what I did in Yongqing County?"

His bad reputation was spread by all the masters and officials.

Now, it's hard to get a little fame.

Don't want to be tainted.

Yan Chengjin thought for a while, "I just said that I went to see Yongqing. Yongqing is a treasure."

Not long after, Wang Busui also came back, "Master, Han Song said that he wanted to report to the court, and he did not dare to build such a large workshop indiscriminately."

Yan Chengjin didn't say much.

The people moved to Gu'an.

Han Song will also submit a memorial, and the Emperor will ask about it tomorrow and just ask for help.

Early in the morning, the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi lifted the quilt and asked before he had washed up, "Yan Qing's family went to Yongqing yesterday?"

I tossed and turned last night, always thinking about the people of Yongqing and the prosperous age that Yan Chengjin talked about.

There was a bit of expectation in my heart, but also a bit of powerlessness.

Therefore, I turn over and don’t fall asleep until very late.

"I didn't say anything. The new emperor went hunting in Yongqing and returned to Beijing soon. He didn't even reach Yongqing Yamen."

Xiao Jing said everything that the factory guard reported.

The factory guards followed far away, and the ones guarding Yan Chengjin were the officers from the arrest department.

It didn't sound very real.

"Didn't say anything?"

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi murmured.

There is no soup pool in Yongqing, but there is a medium-sized river that cannot be used by large boats.

I thought about it for a long time last night, but couldn't find a plan.

After going to court, the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "I heard that you and Yan Qing's family went to the mountains of Yongqing and shot two pheasants and a spotted deer?"

"There is another rabbit." Seeing that one was missed, Zhu Houzhao was a little unconvinced.

Yan Chengjin: "..."

Baiguan: "..."

The face of the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi gradually turned gloomy, "Yongqing moved thousands of people to Gu'an, do you still have the heart to hunt?"

"My father taught his sons and ministers that if they grow up in a deep palace and do not think about the imperial career, they will not know that wealth is difficult to come by. Most of the people in Yongqing are hunters, and my sons and ministers went hunting out of a small visit to Yongqing."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it carefully, and then recounted the principles taught to him by the Supreme Emperor.

"So you've come up with a plan?"

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Yan Chengjin.

The princes turned around and looked to the side, seeing Han Song's notes this morning.

It is rumored that the Liangxiang Chamber of Commerce will build a huge workshop in Yongqing and purchase tens of thousands of hectares of forest.

Yan Chengjin knew that the Emperor would ask sooner or later, so after thinking about it carefully, he said, "I want to set up a workshop in Yongqing."

"Yan Qing's family means Mufang?" Emperor Hongzhi asked without revealing any trace.

This is the first level, but Yan Chengjin has other plans.

The first level of prosperity can be achieved, the second level of prosperity is not difficult, and the three-star prosperity may take some time.

But as a time traveler, he wants to create a five-star prosperity.

The granary is abundant, the spirit is rich, and everyone can pursue their dreams.

The paperboard workshop can be regarded as the transitional standard of the five-star prosperity. In the previous life, during the transition period, the paperboard factory played an important role.

If Yongqing is established, all parts of the world will follow suit, and it can absorb many refugees and poor families.

Nowadays, large wooden boxes are used to transport goods, which are heavy and difficult to carry.

Waste of transportation capacity.

Not to mention the consumed wood.

These wooden boxes alone are enough to temporarily occupy 30% of the weight of commercial goods, or even more.

Wood is a renewable resource and can be planted again. Zhu Yuanzhang issued an imperial decree to plant trees.

Moreover, Yongqing is located around the capital, and these mountains and forests will sooner or later be pushed down for development, which may take as short as fifty years or as long as a hundred years.

Li Dongyang and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

To be honest, there was nothing wrong with it.

It was just that the number of people Yan Chengjin wanted was too many, more than 10,000 people. The court was most worried that the people would gather and riot, so they had to take precautions.

"One thousand is enough. Lord Yan wants to build a workshop for 10,000 people?"

When the officials heard this, they were obviously frightened.

In addition to the shipyards controlled by the court, which had several thousand people, there was also the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, which had several thousand people. I had never heard of such a large workshop.

Moreover, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and the Iron and Steel Bureau were supervised and controlled by officials.

How could the workshops in these workshops be guaranteed to be stable without the control of the court?

Yan Chengjin thought about it and said, "Maybe more are needed."

The retired emperor Hongzhi hesitated for a moment, a little hesitant.

This boy dared to build a workshop for 10,000 people, so he must have thought of the corresponding possibilities. Perhaps, there might be a way to control it.

"Let me discuss it again."
