In Qi Jiguang's place, Chen Mu got a few detailed drawings of Shuntian and Jizhen, and the drawing method carved out of a mold made him recognize this at a glance from the hands of the students of the Xuanfu Martial Arts Hall.

On the return journey from Zunhua, Chen Mu did not choose to ride a horse, and was escorted by Qi Jiguang's banner army to Kaiping Zhongwei in Yongping Mansion along the way, where he took a boat along the Shahe River to Haikou, and returned to Dagukou in less than an hour after sailing along the coast.

This river is extremely convenient, and it is a waterway for Chen Mu to believe that it will be extremely prosperous in the future.

Back in Dagu, Chen Mu is no longer impetuous, carefully sorted out his income from this trip, he is going to start investing in businessmen to set up factories, Zhang Juzheng's unified tax law is not friendly to farmers in the northwest, but in general, the advantages of using silver to pay taxes are more obvious.

Farmers get more freedom and bring more vitality to towns; If the industrialists and businessmen do not have land, they can not pay for silver, and they also encourage industry and commerce, which provides great help to him what he wants to do, but there is one thing that Chen Mu is not very satisfied with.

Before leaving Dagu, he sent another letter to Zhang Juzheng's mansion, on the one hand expressing his idea of wanting to do a big job on the eastern coast of Tianjin, and on the other hand, he again discussed with Zhang Juzheng to pay heavy taxes to the merchants, and at the same time asked him to reconsider his idea of getting the vassal king of the country abroad.

Needless to say, the sect consumed 8 million stones of grain last year, and the rice of the clan was also 8 million stones, in Chen Mu's opinion, where can you not help the imperial court 'clean up' some vassal kings, and throw them out to be the owner of the island.

As for the commercial tax, it is the place where Zhang Juzheng and Chen Mu have the biggest differences, Chen Mu advocates collecting 30% of the heavy tax on some businessmen, and the rest related to the people's livelihood will be taxed according to the discretion of the classification of taxes ranging from 10 taxes to 30 taxes, which is a cliché for him, and the last time he entered Beijing, he talked to the household department about the heavy tax on tobacco.

This time, Zhang Juzheng put it on hold again.

Zhang Juzheng didn't mention anything about the clan in his reply.

As for the latter, Zhang Juzheng put forward an idea in his letter: In view of the fact that the Siyang Military Government has become a foregone conclusion, one port will be selected in each coastal province to open a fu, so as to standardize the management of maritime merchants' entry and exit from the sea, and implement a heavy tax of seven taxes and one tax, which is basically a continuation of Zhang Juzheng's previous standard of collecting taxes on maritime merchants, while domestic industry and commerce will still be taxed at a rate of 30 taxes and 1.

Because he believed that heavy taxation of merchants would lead to higher prices to the detriment of the people, he cited classics including but not limited to Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty, Sang Hongyang of the Han Dynasty, and Mencius to refute Chen Mu's heavy commercial tax.

I still have money, in the past, Taicang silver was negative every year, and Long Qingchu only saved more than 800,000 yuan, and the customs tariff and the Nanyang Military Mansion Jingyun increased the imperial court's income by nearly three million silver a year, and the financial resources were not so stretched, and the decision-making level of the imperial court was comfortable.

If you want to put it on hold, Chen Mu should admit the loss of reading less and keep silent.

But I recently met Xu Zhenming, and I was very encouraged by his courage - the court didn't listen because my preparation was not sufficient, so I will go on a field trip to collect information and convince you with perfect entries and practical plans!

Of course, it's not all depressing bad news,

"To set up an Ordnance Bureau, you need someone who knows how to practice, Guan Zunban is in charge of the Nanyang Ordnance Bureau, and Guan Zun'er is transferred to supervise the Beiyang Ordnance Bureau. and Shao Xing and Shao Yong, who had been escorting ship merchants, were also transferred. Then I sent someone to Banzhou, and asked Ying Long to find me some skilled craftsmen who were digging salt wells over there, and then let him find oil wells over there...... No glass! ”

"Send another letter to Haojing, and offer a reward, no matter which country it is, the method of making glass, no, the Portuguese are more shrewd than the other, and I am afraid that it is not good to ask for a method; From now on, Haojing Customs will not accept any products similar to glass, and will reward those who open a glass factory in Haojing, and hire workers on behalf of them, purchase materials and sell finished products tax-free for five years...... When the factory is opened, people will come in to learn their technology, and he will not be able to do it after tax exemption. ”

"There is also a reward in the country, and those who make glass in the country will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver in the proper way."

In the back hall of the Yamen of the Dagukou Fortress, Chen Mu and his staff gathered together, and there were several maps on the table, covering Gyeonggi, Bohai Bay, Yellow Bay, Liaodong, North Korea and other places, among which the map of Liaodong and North Korea was not accurate, only on an overall large map, there was a rough pattern, and the big map was a coastal route map.

At this time, Chen Mu drew several triangle areas with charcoal, and the starting point of each triangle area was Dagukou, Tianjin.

Many things need to use glass, and the substitute for glass in his hand is only crystal and glass, crystal can only be cut and not fired twice, and the manufacturing process of glass is cumbersome and expensive, which is not something that can be popularized...... In his plan, glass factories are not the key to the formation of initial upstream and downstream industries in Tianjin, but they will be used in many places.

In particular, Chen Mu wanted to set up a chemical experiment bureau in Beiyang.

"Beiyang will be a whole, this place has the benefits of water transportation and shipping, and most of the resources are easier to obtain than the side, so I want to set up the Beiyang Seventh Bureau here." Chen Mu said and raised his eyes to look at the surrounding juniper, Xu Wei, Xu Zhenming, and Zhao Shizhen, took the blank paper and wrote: "Ordnance Bureau, Breeding Bureau, Shipbuilding Bureau, Military Medical Bureau, Gunpowder Bureau, Experimental Bureau and Steaming Engine Bureau. ”

"All industries are first for the purpose of seven bureaus, and make profits, and the factories around them are all four official and six civil shares, at home and abroad, the taxes payable can not be omitted, first of all, the timber processing plant, under the jurisdiction of the logging forest farm, for the time being, for construction, and so on do not need to specialize in wood processing, as well as brick factories and cement plants."

Chen Mu had just marked the wood processing next to Beiyang on the map here, and then he heard Juniper say: "Dashuai, the forest farm is closed, where does the wood come from?" ”

"There are a lot of cash crops nearby, cotton and cloth are not lacking, we have to have a quilt factory, supply the army to produce cotton clothes for the north to wear, but also to sell to North Korea, we take timber in North Korea, this route is very convenient, less than 2,000 miles round trip."

"Iron slag for cement factories, the Ordnance Bureau has a subordinate iron-making plant, which can be supplied, and casting and forging have also been solved; Then there is lacquer and glue, oil squeezing, brick and pottery, paper printing, weaving and leather goods, the upper and lower industries form a supply and demand chain, the downstream first ensures the supply and then expands the production capacity, and then sells the Quartet to obtain profits; The upstream industry has high technology and high profits, and there is a market for profits. ”

"The rest is breeding, the main purpose is to supply the flag army with baggage, next to the Changlu salt field, all of which can not only make Tianjin have a larger scale, but also allow the Beiyang Dongyang to have enough strength to drive the north, reduce the pressure on the Nanyang military government, and the place where the Nanyang needs to be developed is no less than the east and west."

"In addition, when the factories are built, the many disciplines used in industry will be established, and the best technology and development of skilled craftsmen from all walks of life will be collected and further developed in our hands, and their connection with the governance of the country will be compiled and communicated to the world."

"Annam and Burma are the granaries of the Ming Dynasty, Luzon Sulu is the mines of the Ming Dynasty, and Korea and Japan will be the forest farms, mines and markets of the Ming Dynasty. Later generations will say that the initial industrialization foundation of the Ming Dynasty was laid by the era in which we were based in the world, and this picture is only the starting point. ”

"The imperial court is responsible for the present of the Ming Dynasty, and Beiyang is responsible for the future of the Ming Dynasty."

"When the foundation of this starting point is laid, we will cross the ocean and descend on the land of Xiyi, learn from them, lead them, and suppress them...... Five hundred years! ”
