I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

In this coinage, Dahua's government is expected to collect about 50 million yuan of wealth, most of which come from those big landowners and wealthy businessmen who used to hide countless silver.

The reason why the government wants to get this money is of course not because Wu Changqing wants to make money.

For Wu Changqing, the whole world belongs to him, so there is no need for any private property.

The reason for continuing to scrape wealth is naturally for better economic development.

It is Wu Changqing's purpose to concentrate the money scattered among individuals to do big things.

The money is scattered among individual hands and appears to be insignificant.

But if these funds are concentrated, the effect that 50 million yuan can play is huge.

More importantly, those wealthy businessmen were rich, and Wu Changqing cut their leeks with peace of mind and even a little pride.

Playing with the feeling of teasing the capitalists is very cool.

After the Mint predicted the benefits that could be obtained from the minting, the leaders of various departments began to appear in front of Wu Changqing frequently. The purpose was to get a share of the pie and ask for a budget.

After all, no one thinks that there is too much money, not to mention that when the economy is developing rapidly, there are too many places where money is needed.

Wu Changqing ignored these guys, he already had plans for the money.

In order to better develop the economy, Wu Changqing allocated a budget of 10 million to support the development of the steel industry.

He stipulated that he would support ten steel mills dedicated to the production of agricultural tools.

Tax subsidies are available for any new steel plant that promises to produce as many farm implements in a year.

This is all because unofficial steel mills are now reluctant to produce farm implements and their profits are too low.

Those poor people are so poor that they can only use primitive tools to dig the ground, and they can't afford to buy iron agricultural tools.

If they want to sell agricultural tools, the steel factory can only lower the price, and naturally there is no profit. It is far better to produce machine parts for those big businessmen or produce weapons for export overseas.

Businessmen are profit-seeking and short-sighted.

They don't realize that from a macro perspective, exchanging arms exports for a lot of silver doesn't make much sense, it can only speed up inflation.

And letting people have more farm tools can liberate more labor and reduce their labor costs.

Or, they realize it, but they hope that other businessmen will be good people to make unpaid contributions, and then make money quietly.

As for the contributions made by others now, the labor is liberated, and they can enjoy that labor dividend in the future.

It is hard to say whether businessmen are shortsighted, but selfishness is certain.

The word selfish is the label of a businessman.

No way, this kind of thankless thing can only be promoted by the government.

If you spend 10 million yuan, you can at least double the productivity of the people. Now there is still a lot of land that can be reclaimed in China.

In the long run, the benefits are numerous.

For the remaining 40 million, Wu Changqing formulated a plan to support small and medium-sized enterprises.

There are many industries that are currently monopolized, and other small businessmen are simply unable to compete with them.

This situation is not very good, but Wu Changqing is not good at splitting those giants simply and rudely.

How could he, who is wise and martial, do such a degrading thing.

Therefore, he uses money to support those small and medium-sized businessmen, increase their competitiveness, let them all enter the market, and seize market share with those giants.

This can not only disintegrate the monopoly advantages of those giants, but also make small and medium-sized businessmen grateful and kill two birds with one stone.

Even if those giants saw through Wu Changqing's mind, they had nothing to say.

This policy can also divide the businessmen, so that big businessmen and small and medium businessmen form two opposing camps.

Although, after those small and medium-sized businessmen grow up with support, they will also become selfish because of their status as businessmen.

However, compared to those giants, these small and medium-sized businessmen are easier to control and handle.

With tax subsidies, small and medium-sized businessmen do not have to worry about price wars between giants, and they are also competitive.

As soon as this policy came out, small and medium-sized businessmen naturally shouted long live.

For a time, a large number of small and medium-sized businessmen began to run to the government, wanting to apply for this kind of quota, and then began to invest in building factories.

Faced with this situation, those big businessmen are very helpless.

They finally found out that they were not Wu Changqing's own son.

In the past, Wu Changqing gave technology and policies to support them like his own sons, not because he liked them, but simply because the situation at the time required their capital.

And now, they have grown too large, so Wu Changqing is going to start attacking them.

Those who are timid and afraid of trouble have begun to take the initiative to divide the family property, and distribute the property originally belonging to the eldest son to several other sons.

In this way, the monopoly giant has become several medium-sized firms, which have lost their monopoly attributes.

After all, the brothers clearly settle the account, and it is impossible for the brothers who have separated from the family to still want to have a heart.

Not to mention, most of the brothers are half-brothers, and there is a natural estrangement.

If the family is separated, the competitiveness of the family industry will drop a little, but the advantage is that you don't have to worry about being missed by Wu Changqing, and you can sleep more soundly when you sleep.

This kind of person is not necessarily stupid. To some extent, it is called living understanding.

Anyway, even if split

Even though they had acquired the property, they were still prosperous and wealthy, and lived a life of superiority.

Of course, such people are only a minority.

Most of the giants' thinking is still stuck in the past, and they are reluctant to lose the advantage of monopoly.

In the face of Wu Changqing's suppression, they were not resigned, but were thinking about how to fight back.

Of course, the targets of their counterattack were those small and medium-sized businessmen who entered the market and competed with them, not Wu Changqing. If they could borrow their courage, they would not dare to confront Wu Changqing directly.

However, most of their counterattacks will fail.

After all, Wu Changqing is on the side of small and medium businessmen.

At that time, as long as some policies that are beneficial to small and medium-sized businessmen are introduced, those monopoly giants can vomit blood.

Of course, these small and medium-sized businessmen who are temporarily supported by Wu Changqing need not be too happy.

Wu Changqing will start to find ways to harvest their wealth and subsidize it to the bottom people.

While taking into account the development, it is one of Wu Changqing's ruling directions to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor as much as possible and achieve common prosperity.

In order to develop the economy and concentrate on big things, he needs to let some people get rich first.

But in order to achieve the goal of common prosperity, he will find ways to keep harvesting the wealth of the rich.

At this time, the imperial autocracy showed a little advantage.

In the capitalism of later generations, the country is in the hands of those capitalists, how can they redistribute the wealth they have obtained to the poor.

Milk would rather be poured into the river than drop in price. On the one hand, the poor cannot afford milk, and on the other hand, the capitalists can only pour milk into the river because the poor cannot afford milk.

This is capitalism.

Even if a certain ruler suddenly finds in his conscience that he wants to improve the lives of the poor, he cannot fight against the entire bourgeoisie, and if he insists on doing so, he will be replaced by the capitalists as spokespersons.

In the current imperial autocracy, Wu Changqing has supreme power, but he can barely do so.

Harvesting the wealth of the rich, there is nothing they can do.

Unless, the strength of their merchant class can reach the point where they can compete with the emperor.

This possibility is not impossible. If someone who is slightly weaker or less capable will sit in this seat, it may evolve to that level over time.

And Wu Changqing sits in this position, those businessmen don't have to dream.

Wu Changqing's ability is not necessarily strong, the key is that he has a lot of knowledge.

In the current world, there is not even the word capitalist, but Wu Changqing knows the essence of capitalism.

Know the terrible things about capitalists, and also know the weaknesses of capitalists.

Relying on his knowledge far beyond this world, he has the means to control these capitalists. He will not let the capitalists control the world, and then overthrow himself, and then complete the process from the feudal dynasty to the capitalist society.
