Chapter 562: Untie the Merchants

Due to the construction needs of the treasure island, a large number of population transfers, so that the merchants on the territory of the Huaxia army also flocked to it, like a fly smelling fishy, they rented ships to go to sea, with a boatload of goods to the treasure island, and sold the goods to the Huaxia army, although the price is a little low, but the victory is large, there is still a profit without cost.

Since the Huaxia Army eliminated the landlords, gentry, and merchants of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the merchant concession system was implemented, and the big businessmen were almost extinct, and the influential merchant families or merchant alliances were almost extinct.

Make your business into a century-old family business, and make it a small and micro enterprise that the people can rest assured and trusted, which is what the Huaxia Army called for after opening up businessmen, and with the acceleration of the pace of opening up, some medium-sized businessmen and businessmen with assets of millions of Chinese yuan have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

Control first, and then open up, this is the practice that Zhang Qiang learned from the Celestial Empire in later generations, and he can organize and step by step to eliminate some of the original unscrupulous merchants of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and those businessmen and businessmen collude and infiltrate each other, which is a moth that destroys and corrodes the national body, and Zhang Qiang will certainly not allow them to appear.

All these people, except for those who took the initiative to hand over their family property and then became small landlords, survived some shrewd big family businessmen with experience in changing dynasties, and all the big businessmen, officials and businessmen were sent to the prisoner camp for labor reform by the whole family.

This is not a blow to the Huaxia military business, on the contrary, because these businessmen colluded with the government, so a lot of their money actually did not fall into the hands of the government, but into the hands of those officials and people, did not enter the treasury, did not produce any help to the country, so eliminating them is the root of Huaxia's resurrection.

Under the double blow of the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, not to mention corruption and bribery, even if they do not work hard, they will be demoted, dismissed, or even put into prison, imprisoned for several months, and deprived of the opportunity to engage in the imperial examination for the rest of their lives and become officials again.

Without these people, perhaps the Huaxia Army's government affairs would have been a little procrastinating and inefficient, but it also allowed the merchants and ordinary people to reduce a lot of trouble and be exploited, and more money and profits could fall into their own hands for reproduction and to improve their lives.

Therefore, the income of the Huaxia army will not be affected much because of the severance of trade with the Taixi people, with the Southern Ming Kingdom, and with Japan, the land of Huaxia is too big, and self-sufficiency can meet the needs of self-survival, because of Zhang Qiang's crossing, improving science and technology, improving science and technology, single-handedly, and setting up countless reward systems, so that the craftsmen and technicians of the three hundred and sixty lines can rest assured that while producing, while learning, while improving their own technology, there are many inventions and creations, which has stimulated the scientific progress of the entire Huaxia Army.

The stir-fry will invent better dishes, and the process of building a carriage will be improved step by step, and different kinds of carts have appeared, with a load from the original two or three hundred catties to about five or six tons of trucks, and the carts will be wrapped with a layer of water canvas from the original wooden wheels to the later wrapped with a layer of water canvas, which is stuffed with cotton and linen, and the round iron spokes of the rags are loaded with heavy wheels, which not only reduces the pressure, but also makes the cart have a higher load-bearing capacity and faster speed.

All kinds of strange and ingenious things emerged one after another, and even some court officials in the Southern Ming Kingdom who had taken refuge in the past and had already lived an ordinary life were amazed at the high creativity of the people of the Huaxia Army, who could make all kinds of things that were conducive to improving their lives, travel, clothing, food, housing and transportation.

The government organized large trading markets, and ordinary small merchants gathered together to support the commerce of a place, creating more tax revenue for the state than there were previously only one or two large gentry family businesses.

With the accumulation of ten years, some small businessmen have assets of more than one million Chinese yuan, and after the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Huaxia Army reported to the cabinet, the cabinet passed various regulations to encourage business, and then supported some small businessmen loyal to the Huaxia Army to become medium-sized businessmen, and divided some government-managed trading markets into several small trading markets, handed over to these medium-sized businessmen to control, contract, and then linked up various counties, towns, and state capitals, and connected these businessmen to establish a state capital trading center.

The state government trading center is composed of the special yamen of the state government and the yamen of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and gathers several well-known medium-sized businessmen to set up a board of directors to jointly manage the state government trading center, and finally the Ministry of Industry and Commerce makes overall arrangements to manage the business activities on the territory of the Huaxia Army.

The construction and development of the treasure island, is led by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, by the state government to support materials, concessions to medium-sized businessmen, medium-sized businessmen subcontracted to various small businessmen, everyone to make a fortune together, this construction and development, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce each state to give more than a dozen county medium-sized businessmen quota, once the contribution of small businessmen who contribute more is enough, then it will be upgraded to medium-sized businessmen.

Select a small merchant who is willing to settle on the treasure island and carry out the commercial development of the treasure island from all the sites, and the assets must be more than 100,000 Huaxia yuan, and then after this time, the loss will be compensated, and after one year, he will be supported to become a medium-sized businessman at the level of one million Huaxia yuan.

As a result, many small businessmen went from the inland areas of the Huaxia Army to the coastal areas to dig for gold, and some small businessmen directly moved their families to rent a house on the beach of Baodao and open shops, and they will become Baodao businessmen with the migration population in the future, and become medium-sized businessmen on Baodao with the support of the government.

This is an attempt, after the attempt, the development and construction of the newly occupied areas will be handed over to these businessmen to complete, and the Huaxia Military Office will coordinate and compensate from it, reduce its own maintenance and construction costs for a place, and in the future, just send out the army and officials, militia, and garrison battalions, so that it can quickly stabilize a place, digest a place, and make it a place that supports the Huaxia Army, and the Huaxia Military Office will withdraw to deal with the bigger situation.

For example, the battle with the Qing army, the strategic layout, such as how to deal with the increasing number of officials of the Southern Ming Kingdom, as well as the officials of the Yongli Ming Kingdom, as well as the Ming officials who took refuge in the Qing Dynasty, and even the officials of the Qing Dynasty.

Although the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Supervision work hard, many things can not be solved by inspection, supervision, and meticulous work, and the Huaxia Army still needs more supervision, so the next step Zhang Qiang is ready to try to run the county consulting bureau, which is to gather some of the old and young from the past to study, and then let them play the role equivalent to county councilors, and their own people supervise their own people, there are always shortcomings, so that these people who are naturally disgusted or although they are dissatisfied in their hearts, but will not show it, go to a place to complain, it is better than the people who are close to them in private, It's much better for the people to complain.

The prefectural advisory bureau will be put into trial operation from the surrounding county offices in the core area.
