Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 459

After getting a solution from his father, Chen Jiading immediately made corresponding arrangements.

Now that they know the future plans of the court, what the Chen family has to do now is to keep up with the court and not fall behind.

As if overnight, the Chen family's business in Guangzhou City opened dozens of workshops at one go, offering extremely high wages to recruit workers and apprentices.

For a while, all the other shops in Guangzhou City looked sideways.

While astonished, a question also arose.

Is the Chen family crazy?

The wages of the imperial court were [-] renminbi, while the local wages in Guangzhou were [-] renminbi on weekdays. He was not worried about being robbed of workers by the imperial court, but now Chen Jiading raised his wages again, raising the daily wage to [-] renminbi!
Not only that, Chen Jiading also imitated the court's construction period system and launched five-year, ten-year, and 20-year work contracts.

For five-year laborers, the daily wage is 65 cash, but for ten years, it becomes 20 cash, and for [-]-year workers, it is as high as [-] cash!
This has almost doubled the employment of the imperial court.

Everyone in the world came here, and the common people worked for the sake of food and clothing, and naturally they would work with whoever paid the highest wages. Soon, the dozens of new workshops opened by the Chen family were all full of workers.

The reputation of the Chen family firm was also prominent for a while, and the stock price of the Canton Stock Exchange also rose a lot.

There are not many people in this area of ​​Guangdong, only a few million. Naturally, it is impossible for so many people recruited by the Chen family to be stubble apprentices. Most of them are skilled workers who have jumped from other companies. It is bound to be accompanied by the decline of other firms.

"If the Chen family really robs all our workers, then we'll do nothing and shut down."

Several families were furious in private, and they all gritted their teeth at Chen Jiading's approach.

But it is impossible to just sit still and wait for death. The Chen family raises their wages, and each of their families also increases their wages. They are bound to compete with the Chen family.

For a while, the wages of local workers in Guangzhou rose slowly.

In addition to raising wages, each family began to find ways in other ways.

For example, working hours and work breaks have been shortened and extended respectively.

Worker benefits began to increase.

The capitalist class also has introversion.

Therefore, the welfare of workers has never been discovered by the conscience of the capitalists, but entirely because the marginal benefits squeezed out by others have increased.

Whoever praises the capitalists for their integrity is definitely not bad, it's just stupid.

"Snatch workers from our Chen family, do they have the strength?"

Chen Jiading dismissed it. He had already received guidance from his father, and vaguely saw the development direction of the country in 20 or even 30 years. Become a commercial giant in Guangdong and even the whole country.

Grab workers, grab skilled workers!

The Chen family launched a 20-year lease again after the 30-year lease.

But this time, there was no wage increase, just a jaw-dropping clause.

After working for 30 years, retired workers can receive [-] Wen from their Chen family every month as retirement pension!

You support workers for one year or ten years, but our Chen family supports workers for a lifetime!

It's just that I am rich and powerful, and I refuse to accept that you come to bite me.

The social security system and retirement pension system were quietly born in the crazy involution of a group of Guangdong capitalists.

The development of capitalism, starting from Chen Yunfu's resumption of business 15 years ago, has been growing at an almost crazy and even barbaric speed in this land of China.

Because Daming is a powerful country, this is the growth soil necessary for capital development.

More importantly, it is the credit of the national system mentioned above.

Great Kyushu, enfeoffment system!
Capital may be born in a feudal monarchy with a completely closed inner ring, but there is absolutely no political environment for capital growth, because there is a ceiling for the development of capital under the inner ring, and its size is bound to be too big. If it is too large, it will affect the legal basis of the imperial system and will be destroyed The imperial court directly uprooted them.

And the enfeoffment of the Great Kyushu made the development of the whole country orderly but not closed.

The stronger the capital, the faster the country expands outward.

And the faster the expansion, it means that the country has a large area of ​​land resources, mineral resources, production resources and primitive productivity (slaves or aboriginal people in the colonies) that need to be developed.

This is what Chen Yunfu mentioned before, institutional initiative and ideological enthusiasm. As early as a few years ago, Chen Yunfu had already determined the core program of the central bank in the central government, which is to use national policies to deploy the economy.

It not only encourages the development and prosperity of industry and commerce, but also ensures the orderly growth of capital.

The speed of its growth is brutal, but the direction of its growth is also controllable.

No matter how rich the capitalists in Guangdong are, they will always follow the national policy instead of doing whatever they want, just like Chen Jiading now.

He knew that what the imperial court was doing now was to encourage more ordinary people to devote themselves to industrial production instead of primitive farming production, so the Chen family had to closely adhere to the central policy banner to recruit workers and expand production.

The Chen family is not the only ones who are smart. No matter how smart the Chen family is, they are far away from Nanjing after all, and their official connections have not been able to enter the central government. In terms of interpretation of many central policies, they can compare with Nanjing and Zhili states. Those red-capped businessmen in the government who have relatives and sons who are officials?
That is, after Guangdong, the Zhili prefectures also quickly submitted to the Military and Political Yuan the memorandum on the establishment of the Federation of Industry and Commerce.

The Military and Political Council held a special meeting for this, and finally approved it with the support of Chen Yunfu.

At the same time, the Nanjing Stock Exchange also came into being.

The Beijing Stock Exchange was established.

Seven or eight businessmen from Zhejiang quietly came to Nanjing to visit Yan Zhenzhi in such an environment of drastic changes in the times.

"Guangdong, Zhili, and Fujian are all developing rapidly at the moment. Our Zhejiang is a traditionally large agricultural province, and it has been an important food and taxation area for the imperial court for thousands of years.

There are the most big landlords and small landlords in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I used to think that Zhejiang has a lot of cattle and cattle, but now it is doing well. If this continues, our Zhejiang will look poor. "

Many of the businessmen in the group were old friends with Yan Zhenzhi, the former grain chief of Zhejiang, and some were even related, so they spoke openly and honestly, without hiding anything.

Yan Zhenzhi nodded frequently at the top: "Hu Sizong sent a letter to the central government, and he did say that the situation in Guangdong has changed this year. A large number of farmers have left the land and entered factories and workshops under the lure of high wages, high blessings, and high treatment.

More and more villages moved out of the countryside and ravines, and the urbanization process began to accelerate. At the peak, Guangdong opened 37 weaving factories a month, thousands of looms, shuttle machines and even large hydraulic spinning cars. It was non-stop.

The speed of industrialization is getting faster and faster, stimulated by the real money of the group of wealthy businessmen in Guangdong. The central government is now discussing whether to take off the hat of Guangdong as an economic pilot province. "

A group of businessmen looked at each other, and one of them opened his mouth carefully.

"You mean that the imperial court intends to fully liberalize the whole country and allow provinces to establish federations of industry and commerce?"

"The pilot project in Guangdong has lasted for three years, and the speed of development in these three years has even exceeded the previous ten years, which shows that the policy is no problem."

Yan Zhen hummed: "As long as there is no problem with the policy, then there will be a basis for national implementation, but the king is also hesitating, so don't worry, just go home and wait at ease. If there is any progress, I will let Wang Dun know." Let me know, our Zhejiang has been a rich and prosperous place since ancient times, and we will not be too far behind Guangdong."

A few people laughed wryly: "It's not too far behind. You don't know if you are in the center. Now Hangzhou has opened Cantonese businessmen's semicolons. If this continues, Cantonese businessmen will really grab food from our plates."

"Don't worry, the imperial court will not let the Cantonese merchants dominate."

Yan Zhen speaks with conviction.

"Absolutely not!"
