The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 209 Boss, What Do You Want To Do?

The Xu family and the Guo family are here.

Chartered a boat at the pier in Tianjin, and invited the two young ladies to go back to the capital. It is not easy for Princess Xu to stay.

Traveling thousands of miles through the canal, exhausted by boats and vehicles, worried about insufficient guards, the Xu family sent the chief steward and guards of the palace, as well as mothers and maids.

On the street at the gate of the Wangfu, a row of carriages was parked, and more than twenty riders were waiting behind them.

The wives in charge surrounded the princess, and some of them were originally from the Xu family, and they accompanied the princess to the Yan Palace as a dowry.

The four sisters Zhu Yuying and Zhu Yuegui reluctantly bid farewell to Xu Miaojin and Guo Cailian.

Guo Cailian wore a jade hairpin on her head, and the maid behind her was holding a silk-woven gold-rimmed cloak, but the lady said she wouldn't wear it.

Xu Miaojin is not the brave girl who dared to reject Zhu Di many years later. The little girl was reluctant to part with her sister, her eyes were red, and tears fell one by one.

Xu also had tears in her eyes. She had stayed for half a year, and there was really no reason to stay any longer, so she comforted Xu Miaojin.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Xu stroked Xu Miaojin's little hand, and comforted: "Elder sister will write to your father next year and ask him to send you here."

Guo Cailian stood obediently aside, occasionally peeking inside the door, unable to bear the disappointment, but still looking forward to it.

"Grandma, it's getting late, I'm afraid I'll delay today's schedule." The old nanny from the Xu residence stepped forward and said with a smile.

The old nanny is an old man in the Xu family. She has been in the Xu family since the time of Jinling. She has a big face and the Xu family is at ease, so she entrusted her with the job of picking up the young lady.

Mrs. Xu forced a smile, even when she was a child, she was taken by her mother.

"Go."

"woooo~"

The young ladies shed tears more and more, Zhu Zhiming, the youngest, shrugged his shoulders and sobbed from time to time, looking very sad.

Xu Miaojin and Guo Cailian bid farewell to Mrs. Xu and the young ladies, and with the help of the maids, they boarded the carriage and slowly entered the carriage.

Afterwards, the mothers and maidservants got into the carriage behind one after another, and the steward saw that it was almost done, so he said loudly: "Let's go."

"Crackling."

The horseshoes stepped on the stone bricks, making a crisp sound, and then the wheels rolled over the stone surface.

Zhu Yuying's four sisters held their scarves high and waved to the parting sisters. Xu Miaojin and Guo Cailian were sitting in a car.

Two small heads were exposed from the window of the car, and tears were still visible on the pink face, and they were put away until they could no longer be seen.

"Go back."

Xu sighed.

Afterwards, a dense group of people turned around and entered the palace, and the street soon became quiet again.

……

Zhu Gaochi doesn't like to wait for things, he will do what he can do right away, and he will do what he needs to wait for when the opportunity comes.

The status of later generations is low, as long as they do things, no matter how big or small, they basically belong to the side that waits.

So Zhu Gaochi was very tired of waiting.

So early today, he met with Zhu Di and expressed his new ideas.

"Military household economic cooperatives should change from a dominant position to an auxiliary party, and encourage the guards to set up economic breeding farms by themselves. In the form of collective partnerships, military household economic cooperatives are responsible for the general direction and technical guidance."

"At the same time, military households are encouraged to set up small factories to become downstream enterprises in China Heavy Industry's industrial chain and promote industrial activity."

Zhu Gaochi handed the charter to Zhu Di with both hands, and Zhu Di took it over and looked at it, feeling a little incomprehensible.

"China Heavy Industries is doing well at the moment, why did this idea suddenly come into being, it seems a bit superfluous."

Zhu Di didn't understand Zhu Gaochi's thoughts.

Zhu Di couldn't understand how many things were done, especially the birth of new things, he had no idea at all, and he never thought about it.

"It's no small matter."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

"The production model of our Ming Dynasty is based on the self-sufficiency of farmers, planting mulberry and hemp fields, weaving cloth and sewing clothes by themselves."

"The same is true for military households. The guards themselves bear the military expenses, and the imperial court makes up for the shortage, such as cloth."

"Many industries in the Song Dynasty were replaced by service in our Ming Dynasty, such as dung collectors and watchmen in cities."

"There are advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the cost to the court is the least, and the disadvantage is that it is negative for the economy."

Zhu Di listened carefully.

The boss's reasoning, because he said it transparently, can often convince people, and his achievements every time make people unable to object.

What surprised Zhu Di the most was that every time the boss prepares new things, he submits a very comprehensive charter.

Comprehensive to the point of being impeccable, everything has been considered, the problems that Zhu Di thought of, the boss has already proposed solutions, and there are more problems that Zhu Di did not think of, the boss has written clearly.

"The great Ming Dynasty thrives, a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity, the external environment is harsh, and a society dominated by agriculture, this strategy is considered a good one."

"At that time, the level of commodity economy was low, and the country's business tax was insignificant, and it did not need strong economic support. It relied on a typical natural economy, agricultural economy. Under this background, trade with the outside world was dispensable, and the domestic economy was entirely possible. support the functioning of the country.”

"Now that Beiping is developing industry and replacing the traditional production model, it is inevitable to emancipate the mind and the population."

Zhu Gaochi was not worried that Zhu Di would object.

Daming's policy of banning the sea changed with the development of productivity.

From Zhu Yuanzhang's strictness to Yongle's opening of official trade, and then the Jiajing Dynasty returned to strictness from a military perspective because of the Japanese invasion.

Even when Western civilization arrived in the East in the [-]th century, the Ming Dynasty began to relax again, fully releasing the sea ban, from the official to the private.

A large number of Western books and technologies flowed into the East, and the two sides began civilized exchanges, officials took the initiative to teach, both sides translated books from each other, learned military technology, and so on.

But at that time, Daming had already fallen into a population trap. Although there were the germination of capitalism in the Jianghuai area and the birth of the idea of ​​small citizens, they could not offset the huge size of the whole country.

In other words, the disease is terminally ill, there is no cure, and a means of reducing the population is needed, such as the Black Death in the West, or a major civil unrest.

Comprehensive history, facing the improvement of productivity, Yongle chose to violate the ancestral system and opened the official sea ban.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi does not think that Zhu Di will oppose his economic development ideas.

"Emancipate the mind and the population?" Zhu Di couldn't answer for a while, and Zhu Gaochi's words made him think hard.

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "Change people's old impression that they only know how to dig in the soil, and let the people know that working in the city can make a living for a lifetime."

"Encouraging people to leave the land and join the wave of industrialization."

In the 80s and [-]s, it was so difficult for people to leave the land. Only the most impoverished people, those who could not survive, left their homes and entered the city to make a living.

Just like in the book The Ordinary World, a large number of bankrupt peasants enter the city, which is a passive process.

After all, there are only a small number of farmers who have no food to eat.

Most of them are poor people, and poor people are the most conservative class.It is absolutely difficult to change until the point where you are hovering near the death line.

"It is very difficult to change this concept, and it cannot be done without an opportunity."

"And the opportunity my son found was to promote the development of the guard collective enterprise, so that people can get used to it as quickly as possible."

The Weisuo was more advanced and closely organized than the common people, and coupled with the control of the palace over the Weisuo, Zhu Gaochi chose the Weisuo.

The mountains rely on the mountains to eat, and the palace depends on the guards. Naturally, the first thing that comes to mind is the guards.

"So your plan, still revolves around a hundred people, taking fifty people out of the land?"

Zhu Di asked softly.

"Father is wise." Zhu Gaochi laughed.

The new social model has never been a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, but in an orderly manner, arriving step by step.

Including later generations crossing the river by feeling the stones, they also studied the theories and routes of the Industrial Revolution, as well as the theories and routes of a large number of neighbors.

At what stage to achieve what productivity, what kind of guidance is needed, and so on.

I have to admire the countless unsung heroes of that era.

Under their special research, they explored a set of unique and extraordinary economic theories, and then produced results that shocked the world.

There must be some disadvantages in the process, and nothing is perfect in the world.

However, the tasks of one generation after another, the older generation has fulfilled their mission, whether the new generation can continue to achieve good results after taking over the baton, like the older generation has the spirit of resistance and dares to fight against injustice, the new generation has their own say. less than the older generation.

Zhu Di got the answer, and after returning to his desk with the charter, he spread the charter on the table and sat down.

Read carefully page by page to understand every word.

The eunuch outside took a look and held back his words. There were still many people in the living room waiting to see the prince, but seeing the prince's appearance, the eunuch had already made up his mind.

"In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the guards, the pilot guards are mainly guards that are farmed, and those with weak combat effectiveness are the main guards."

"When the pilot experiment is successful, it will be open to all guards, and an exit mechanism will be formulated. If one person deserts on the battlefield, the whole family will be punished."

Zhu Gaochi pointed to the second half of the regulations.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi warily.

Although he strived for military power, he followed the rights given to him by his father. King Yan controlled the Beiping guards.

According to the boss's policy, the palace's control over the guards will reach a whole new level, even to the point of expressing one's words.

That is to say, no one dared to back down wherever the palace pointed, where the army fought.

"Boss, what exactly do you want to do?" Zhu Di said with a serious face.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhu Di calmly.

Does Zhu Di want to be emperor?
Is there anyone in the world who doesn't want to be an emperor?

Does Zhu Di want to rebel?
There are really not many people in the world who want to rebel, and it is like this at the moment.

Zhu Di also did not want to rebel.

If he really wanted to rebel, he wouldn't be reduced to that kind of situation later. There were only two hundred guards left in the palace, and he had to act in a hurry when he had to cut them down with knives.

"The son just wants to assist the father and guard the family business." Zhu Gaochi said firmly.

If the guess is correct, Zhu Yuanzhang's physical condition will take a turn for the worse this year. It is already October, which means that it may have happened, and the news has not yet reached Beiping.

So next year, Zhu Yuanzhang will focus on enfeoffing vassal kings and sons, and giving a large number of marriages, because Zhu Yuanzhang, who is frail, feels insecure.
