The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 172 The Gap Between Both Sides

On the left side of the bedroom of King Yan's residence is the study hall. Between the former bedroom and the study hall, there is a flower hall in the courtyard of the flower hall.

A thatched pavilion has been built on the left, where two cranes in black robes are brushing their feathers. On the right, there is a big green porcelain vat full of Qingchen, and there is a pair of little turtles with jade bodies and red eyes. Sip some algae there.

After Zhu Di fed the food, he turned around and clapped his hands before Zhu Gaochi stepped forward to explain how the railway helped the government deliver official documents.

"The size of China Heavy Industry, it is wrong not to pay taxes to the government."

Zhu Gaochi's words made Zhu Di look at him with admiration, and he looked sideways, not believing that the boss was so magnanimous.

Seeing Zhu Di's expression, Zhu Gaochi smiled embarrassedly.

I wanted to sing a high-profile song, but unfortunately I couldn't hide it from Zhu Di.

He stopped pretending, and said bluntly: "We don't want to pay taxes to the government, but we are willing to take it from the people and use it for the people."

Pay taxes to the government, indirectly send money to the court, and strengthen the court's strength. In the future, the court will use China Heavy Industry's tax revenue to beat itself, and Zhu Gaochi will do this only when he is crazy.

"Using the railway to help the government replace part of the function of the post station is a disguised form of tax payment, but this method is equivalent to spending the tax on the North Parallel Province, which not only gains a good reputation, but also reduces the burden on the people."

Zhu Di knew his eldest son very well, so he asked directly: "Do you think it's wrong for common people to serve in corvee?"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head.

"It cannot be said that it is wrong. In the agricultural social environment, this method promotes the construction of the country at the smallest cost."

"However, my son has a better way, so it is natural to gradually change the social model."

Zhu Gaochi said cautiously.

"Tell me about it." Zhu Di was noncommittal.

Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment, sorting out his thoughts. He didn't plan to say this today, but who made Zhu Di suddenly send someone to call him.

Zhu Di has recently become interested in his own theory, and when he thinks of something, he will immediately ask himself to verify it.

It can be said that he has made rapid progress, but Zhu Gaochi is not worried that he will starve to death after teaching his apprentices.

Zhu Di can understand the experience of later generations of countries in a short time.

On the eve of the first industrial revolution in Britain, the process of market development and market creation, which took 200 years to complete, was greatly compressed in China, which took only ten years.

It is precisely because of the strong support for the rural economy.

Many countries want to learn from the experience of the West and concentrate production in cities, but most of them have failed. China's strong support for the rural economy is precisely because of its emphasis on the countryside.

In a country with a predominantly agricultural population, if the rural problem is not solved first, then all other problems will be castles in the air.

Since the founding of the country, later generations have attached great importance to the strength of the countryside, and reunified the country by relying on the strength of the countryside.

Similarly, in the process of industrialization, by vigorously supporting the rural economy, industrialization is finally favorably supported.

This is why it took only ten years for later generations to complete the market, two words, rural areas.

"Although people's corvee service reduces the expenditure of the court and the local government, it is actually not good for the economic cycle."

"In the process, good economics have not been produced."

"For example, the local government organizes civilians to repair roads. Roads are beneficial to transportation. People bring their own food and work for free. It seems that the government has paid nothing. Except for a road, it is actually a loss economically."

"Regulations on the people should be relaxed, support the people to vigorously produce, and guide them to come out of the countryside."

Zhu Gaochi said one thing after another. Compared with the previous truth, what he said today is more profound, and Zhu Di can't understand it.

"Be more specific." Zhu Di asked carefully.

"There is a new market in the Zhonghua Heavy Industry District. For example, there is a vendor who sells red dates. He is from a farmer."

"Many people have red dates at home, but they are not willing to transport them to the city for sale. Is it because they have money and don't want to earn it?"

Zhu Gaochi asked a question, and seeing Zhu Di's stare, he had no choice but to quickly explain.

It seems that Zhu Di is not a good student, but he has to teach.

"It is difficult for people to leave the environment they are used to, and they are afraid of unfamiliar environments. The common people who have never left their homeland all their lives are even more reluctant to try easily."

"And the red dates at home, in the eyes of the common people, no one would be willing to sell them, and if they go to the city to sell some, the money they make will not satisfy the common people, so they don't want to waste this effort."

It's the same reason that later generations went to the city to sell lotus flowers.

There are many lotus flowers in the countryside, but only a very small number of people are willing to take lotus flowers to the city for sale.

In addition to the reason of its own personality, it is more that the profit is too small to attract the interest of farmers.

"But if someone does it for a living, the situation is completely different."

"This person buys red dates from the common people and transports them to the city to sell them. At a lower price, he can also make a profit."

"In the end, this person made money and had his own livelihood. People in the city had red dates at a low price, which attracted more people to buy them, and the red dates in the homes of ordinary people were bought, and the money they got was also used to subsidize their families."

"This economic benefit is not that one plus one equals two, but that one plus one is greater than two. With the large increase of this economic model, the economic benefits brought about are several times the incremental model."

"The more people involved in this economic cycle, the greater the benefits."

The products in the countryside are not only crops, but also a large number of wild products and other products. When the population explodes in later generations, the rural land can still provide a large number of other products.

For example, eels, crabs, fish and shrimps, wild animals, lotus pods, water chestnuts, saponins, etc. are various and varied.

"These rural economies are small in size, small in scale, small in profit, have no major economic costs, are easy to turn around, and are flexible."

"What's more important is to cover a large number of people and participate in a large number of people. With the smallest cost, more people can be leveraged into the city."

The cost of each worker in China Heavy Industry is not small, as well as the market problems, scheduling problems, distribution problems and so on.

The rural economy that can be developed is different, and there is no burden on the royal and official government.

It only needs to support the rural economy, and it can spontaneously bring unexpected results, which is the only way for future generations to industrialize.

In order to support the township economy, the city streets are lined with shops and supply and marketing cooperatives, and the office buildings facing the streets of all government agencies have become shops.

The total grain output in the 21st century is 80 times that of the [-]s.

But people's income has more than doubled, which is the economic benefits brought about by the promotion of productivity and the increase of industrial commodities.

"Serving in the military is too much a burden on the common people. For example, the common people serve in post stations, which affects labor production too much and suppresses economic vitality."

Zhu Gaochi knew that the northern economy of Ming Dynasty was not as good as Jianghuai.

The people in the Jianghuai area would rather pay more money than serve corvee, because the losses brought by corvée are greater than paying more taxes, which promoted the birth of a whipping method.

But the people in the north couldn't accept it, because the north of the Ming Dynasty was generally poorer than Jianghuai, so they couldn't afford a whip.

So is JAC producing gold and silver?Of course not.

On the contrary, the north is sparsely populated. According to economic theory, it should be the area that needs a whip most.

The reason is the economy, the economic development of Jianghuai is good, but the economic development of the north is not good.

If economic output is equivalent to grain output, then Huguang was developed in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and Huguang Shutianxiazu was born. Huguang should be richer than Jianghuai.

The population of Beiping Province is only 260 million. If food is equivalent to the economy, it should be richer.

And Beiping was not the economic center of the Ming Dynasty until the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di seemed to understand, but also seemed to understand nothing.

Zhu Gaochi did not continue to instill economic theory.

Many scholars in later generations can speak clearly and logically, because there is a real thing in front of them, and anyone can clearly understand it.

But Zhu Di didn't see it. It was all based on imagination in his mind, and the difficulty increased exponentially. It's normal not to think about it.

Zhu Di didn't dig into the horns, put aside the things he couldn't figure out for the time being, and said suddenly, "The chief secretary should take action to suppress the palace, so don't meddle in this matter."

Zhu Gaochi was stunned.

"My son gave a big gift to the chief envoy, and we had a good exchange with him in the previous meeting. Could it be that he was perfunctory?"

The corners of Zhu Di's mouth curled up.

It's better to play politics. After all, the boss who plays politics is young and has a lot to learn.

Finally, I have the refreshing feeling of being an old man.

Zhu Di said indifferently: "When people come to Beiping, it is the right way to deal with the Wangfu. If they make good friends with the Wangfu, there will be many people who can't sleep."

Zhu Gaochi suddenly realized and understood the truth.

Zhu Di was extremely satisfied when he saw that the boss was able to get through at a single point, but he revealed one more thing.

"The Japanese pirates quietly landed in Jinzhou and burned several villages. When Sun Yan rushed there, the Japanese pirates had already left."

This is the first time that Zhu Gaochi heard the news, and Zhu Gaochi was depressed.

"Now you understand why no one is willing to undertake the anti-Japanese war." Zhu Di said dissatisfied.

Jinzhou Zhongzuo belongs to Shandong.

The boss took control of the Jinzhou Zhongzuo Institute in the name of fighting against the Japanese. Shandong did not object at all, but was very happy. It is not good for someone to take the initiative to share the responsibility.

"Our thinking has not changed. Fighting against the Japanese is a national matter, and we cannot avoid it just because we are afraid of responsibility. I am a clan member, and there is no reason to avoid it."

Zhu Gaochi insisted.

"And my son has confidence in Jin Zhong and Sun Yan, we believe in them, give them some time, they will definitely wipe out the Japanese pirates."

Seeing Zhu Gaochi's attitude, Zhu Di didn't speak any more.

A person who can persevere in the face of difficulties is ten times stronger than a person who is easy to compromise. Zhu Di will not pursue this matter anymore.

Soon.

As a matter of fact, Shandong went to the Shu and shirked the blame. The Japanese pirates landed, burned, killed and looted.

Zhu Yuanzhang read this memorandum, and then read the secrets of Beiping.

"Humph."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, and threw away the Shandong memorial. What he wanted was not for the people below to shirk their responsibilities, but to have the courage to take responsibility and eliminate the Japanese pirates.
