Chapter 1264 Model Geng Scroll, choose

  Feng Ziying didn't expect that the fire would burn on her head in an instant, and she didn't even have room for herself to intervene.

The conversations of several big brothers almost put him in a position where he could only bow his head and obey orders. Although he was full of expectations for returning to the capital, he soon realized that the "revolution has not yet succeeded" in Yongping Mansion. If he left, I'm afraid that the big event would be delayed, and now he can't leave.

  Qi Yongtai fell silent.

  He is very clear that the concerns he raised can actually be resolved. Although Feng Ziying is young and has inexperienced qualifications, his actual achievements are recognized by even those scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.

From Ningxia's counter-insurgency to the strategy of opening the sea, both civil and military skills, this is not just lip service. Ningxia's counter-insurgency Feng Ziying personally took the risk and went deep into the grassland to negotiate with Bu Shitu. In Ganzhou City, he took the lead on the city wall and personally The one who killed the rebels, as for the strategy of opening the sea, look at the changes brought about by his group going to Jiangnan, Jiangnan has benefited a lot from it, this performance can be called amazing.

Then when I went to Yongping, it was because the limelight was too strong and the Northland benefited too little, so I let it go to avoid the limelight. The performance in Yongping Mansion was to firmly grasp the Shanshan businessmen, Yuguan opened port, Liaodong Supplies, fighting in Qian'an, negotiating redemption with the Nekhka people, if he benefited a lot from Jiangnan when he was in the Imperial Academy, then after arriving in Yongping, he really let the gentry in the north feel resentful The child is relieved.

   He even flattered the emperor and Wu Xun. The emperor was satisfied with the adjustment of the Beijing camp, and the redemption from the Nekalka made Wu Xun owe the boss a favor.

Of course, there are negative things. For example, the local gentry in Yongping Mansion naturally hated and feared the cruel method of cleaning up hermits, but they were helpless. Li Zhufu can be regarded as Qi Yongtai's sphere of influence. Later, with the entry of merchants from Shanxi Province, the local gentry realized that if they did not cooperate, they might not even have a bite of bone soup left for them. On Zhu Zhiren's head, while using other personal connections to convince others, he expressed his willingness to cooperate, and this is considered to have entered a stage of benign cooperation.

Feng Ziying originally planned to talk to these local gentry about cooperation with Shanxi businessmen as soon as the spring break is over, to further expand the construction of coal-iron complexes in Luanzhou, Qian'an, and Lulong, and to further expand the construction of coal-iron complexes in Luanzhou, Qian'an, and Lulong. Discuss carefully about increasing investment in cement building materials and expanding the scale, and at the same time make Yuguan Port a transit hub port for the entire Jingdong and even the Gyeonggi region facing Liaodong, North Korea, Japan and Shandong.

Of course, the longer-term plan is to become a material transfer hub for the entire north and south, but for now, the material trade with Liaodong, North Korea, Japan, and even Shandong is far less close than that with Jiangnan. This is an unchangeable reality, so At present, it is still necessary to strengthen Yuguan’s transit advantages over Liaodong, North Korea, and Japan. The next step is to open up this possibly busiest shipping trade route in the future through Dengzhou and Jiangnan.

  Under such circumstances, Feng Ziying is not willing to let the industrial structure that she has worked so hard to build fall short, and at the same time, she does not want to be picked by outsiders.

But before Feng Ziying could open his mouth, Qi Yongtai had already made a decision: "Since that's the case, let me bring it up. The performance of Ziying is obvious to all. Fu Yin is from the south of the Yangtze River, and the Fu Cheng is from the North. Zhong is from Huguang, which is also in line with the current situation, and no one can say anything."

Qi Yongtai's other concern at the beginning was whether this recommendation would cause dissatisfaction from other people in the company, and he felt that he was nepotism, but Zhang Huaichang and Wang Yongguang all supported it, and even Sun Juxiang and Han Yu nodded. Needless to say, Qiao Yingjia and Cui Jingrong , internal support, then there is no big problem.

   "Master Qi, my lords, this matter is inappropriate."

  Feng Ziying took a deep breath, stood forward and clasped her fists.

   "Huh?!" Qi Yongtai frowned thickly, and several other people also frowned in bewilderment.

Han Yu and Feng Ziying were not familiar with each other very well, and thought that Feng Ziying felt that she had to be humble when she suddenly ascended to a high position, and shook her head with a smile: "Ziying, the status of the Chancellor of Shuntian Fu is of great significance, and it is normal for you to be under some pressure, but everyone Everyone is optimistic about you, you can ask everyone for advice if you have any questions, as long as you practice for a year or two, you will be able to adapt, there is nothing to be embarrassed about."

"Yu Chengong, the students are not worried about being the prime minister of Shuntian Mansion, but about the situation in Yongping Mansion." Feng Ziying pondered for a while, but still felt that it was necessary to make a detailed report of all the situation in Yongping Mansion to the masters present. A comprehensive and systematic report, and at the same time, an introduction of their next plan, lest they misjudge the importance of Yongping Mansion and delay the big event.

   "Oh?" Several people are a little confused, what is there to worry about in Yongping Mansion?

Feng Ziying calmed down and sorted out her thoughts, and then began to explain her planning and practice in this year, as well as the next plan. From the initial idea and the positioning of the entire Zhuzhou County of Yongping Prefecture, As well as the next step plan and even the scale and effect that can be achieved after the plan is realized, all of them have been elaborated in detail.

  This is not only supported by various data, but also the composition of funding sources, market prospects, and even the guarantee of transportation. It is well-founded and detailed, and it is even more dazzling and refreshing.

   Qiao Yingjia, Sun Juxiang, and Han Yu are all Shanxi scholars, so they are naturally aware of the predicament of Shanxi businessmen in recent years.

  As the influence of Jiangnan merchants continues to expand, especially after the opening of the sea, the signs of Jiangnan merchants and Jiangnan gentry converging are more obvious, and their power has also increased significantly.

The decline of Shanxi merchants in the traditional salt industry and trade in the south of the Yangtze River is becoming increasingly apparent, and their industries such as silk, cotton cloth, tea making, and porcelain have shrunk in all aspects. Now Shanxian merchants can stick to trade with Mongolia and Jurchen through the Nine Borders.

After the Jiangnan maritime trade smuggling became regular, the shipbuilding, fishing, and maritime trade industries have shown a trend of vigorous development, and even have a tendency to advance northward. Therefore, this is what all the merchant forces in the North, including Shanxi merchants, are most worried about. Yes, the products in the south of the Yangtze River are too rich, and many of them are the daily needs of the Northland, but many of the products in the Northland do not have strategic competitiveness.

However, with the sudden emergence of the iron smelting industry in Yongping Prefecture, breakthroughs in new iron and steelmaking technologies, including steel, iron, coke, cement, and military industries can be quickly integrated into one, Yongping Prefecture has become more and more prosperous in this area. more and more competitive.

   "Ziying, what do you mean, the output of wrought iron and steel in Yongping Prefecture has caught up with Foshan?" Zhang Huaichang couldn't help asking.

This is too unbelievable. Foshan is the largest iron smelting center in Dazhou. Dazhou’s iron production in Yonglong for six years totaled about 20 million catties. According to the standard of 15 classes, Dazhou’s current iron production is close to 300 million. About one-fifth of it, or 56 million jins, in Guangdong Province, and half of it in Foshan, about 25 million jins.

"No, no, Mr. Huaichang, you misunderstood. Yongping Mansion estimates that after a large-scale expansion this year, the output of iron may reach more than 10 million catties, but our steel output can reach about 5 million catties. From steel alone In other words, we can surpass and approach the whole of Guangdong instead of Foshan, but the iron output is still insufficient, but by next year, I am confident that the iron output will double, which is why our Yongping Prefecture has absorbed so many smooth sailings. The refugees in Tianfu, after building roads from Lulong and Qian'an to Yuguan Port via Funing, some of them can continue to transfer to mines and iron smelting workshops. At present, only iron smelting and iron making craftsmen in Foshan About 50,000 people, we are still far behind, but our level of craftsmanship is much higher than theirs, and it is expected to reach 20,000 to 30,000 people next year, but this still includes iron and military workshops,..."

  Tie Ke is the Jieshen Treasury of the Ministry of Communications, and Cui Jingrong is about to become Minister of the Ministry of Industry, so naturally he is more concerned.

If the total steel output of Yongping Prefecture can reach 15 million catties this year, then the iron class can reach 1 million catties. According to the current price of iron, it is between 0.015 and 0.025 per catty, and the price of steel is about 0.04 to 0.05. Calculating in a short time, just the 15 million jin of Tie Ke collected from the Jieshen Treasury can increase the court's revenue by 700,000 taels.

If according to Feng Ziying's forecast, the steel output of Yongping Mansion can double next year, it means that the income of Jieshenku Iron and Steel Division can also double, reaching about 1.5 million taels, which is about to catch up with Yonglong for six years. Cui Jingrong has a good memory. In Yonglong’s six years, the iron lessons in Guangdong province were only about 1.7 million taels, and in Dazhou, the annual iron lessons were only about 9 million taels.

This is only a single prefecture of Yongping Prefecture. In previous years, the three prefectures from the north to the east added up to only 200,000 taels a year. This is because the Zunhua Iron Works directly under the Ministry of Industry accounted for the majority. Except for Hejian Prefecture, which is in the worst situation, the annual iron class is only more than ten thousand taels, while in other prefectures that do not produce much iron, the situation of two to three thousand taels a year is a common phenomenon.

  This is so tempting, even Cui Jingrong, who strongly supported Feng Ziying to go to Shuntian Mansion at first, couldn't help but hesitate now.

To combine these merchants from Shanxi and Shanxi to build roads, open ports, and open up foreign markets is a level of complexity that ordinary officials cannot afford. The conduct of the officials is also questionable. For the northern gentry, this model is simply too influential. It would be too unacceptable to delay this side just to let Feng Ziying take over as Shuntian Fu Cheng.
