The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 216
The background of the stage is made of a piece of white cloth, which is not complete. It is made of several pieces of white cloth, so it cannot be seen from a distance.

The red paper covers used for kerosene lamps, logically speaking, should be white covers, so that the color of the entire stage becomes white.

But someone suggested to use red lights. After trying, a touch of dark red in the white really made the stage more attractive.

on the stage.

An actor dressed as a Ming army passed the story to the ears of each of the 600 people present through singing.

Then sadly and courageously left the empty house without a grain of grain.

You get what you pay for.

Regardless of the cost, China Heavy Industries hired well-known theater troupe owners and Lehu, and the actors were one in a million. Although the new play was not popular with people, once it was released, it still attracted people's attention.

offstage.

People stared intently and were attracted by the actors, Zhu Gaochi heaved a sigh of relief.

However, the scene of the wooden house in the snow, this scene made some people whisper to each other and couldn't help discussing.

"When the common people are not at home, the sergeant eats first and pays later. It's not beautiful to be so dull."

Zhu Di commented softly.

Zhu Gaochi turned sideways and said with a small smile: "The opera is for people to watch, and it is mainly to convey values ​​to people."

"Through the noble scenes, the people's impression of the soldiers can be greatly changed, and on the contrary, they can urge the soldiers to spontaneously and strictly discipline themselves."

Zhu Di smiled at the corner of his mouth, seemingly noncommittal.

He sits in the front and center.

"If you study like a nerd, don't be a nerd when you fight. If you really learn to behave like this, if you starve to death halfway because of lack of food, and get involved in the war, all values ​​will be empty."

Speaking of this, Zhu Di thought of something and suddenly laughed.

Turning around funny, he looked at Zhu Gaochi, "You make up Wang Zhen like this, when he comes back from Jinzhou, we want to see what he looks like, feel ashamed or not."

Zhu Gaochi also laughed, but didn't take it seriously.

Wang Zhen was selected as a model to promote, not a random person. First of all, this person was indeed a hundred households at that time, and he fought with Zhu Di.

The most important thing is that this person will rank seventh as a hero in the battle of Jingnan in the future, and he started as a hundred households, which shows his extraordinary ability.

In fact, Zhu Neng was also considered.

Let's not mention Zhu Neng's position in the ranking of heroes, but one of the top nobles in Ming Dynasty, Duke Cheng's mansion, the first generation ancestor is Zhu Neng.

However, in the last battle, Zhu Neng was unlucky, "died before leaving the army", and returned to Peiping first due to injuries, but returned without success.

After careful selection, Zhu Gaochi chose Wang Zhen, who has a low official position and great potential in the future, and is now in charge of the forest farm in Lushun.

"Wang Zhen is diligent in doing things, and everything is done properly. It will be of great use in the future. It's not bragging." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

Zhu Di was stunned.

When he was looking at the boss just now, he glanced to the back from the corner of his eye and saw the excited expressions of many people, which made him a little touched.

Zhu Gaochi glanced back and knew why Zhu Di was in a daze.

"Ordinary people rarely encounter a major event in their lives. This scene is not about the details, but about the spirit. Soldiers are encouraged to learn."

The father and son of King Yan talked freely from time to time.

On the side, Yan Dun, the chief minister on the left, and Shen Kui, the chief minister on the right, sat side by side, a little unaccustomed to this way of sitting.

The show at the snow field was over, the curtain fell, and the staff behind the scenes who had been waiting for a long time rushed up.

Those who remove props, move props, install props, use both hands and feet, and strive for the shortest time.

"Crash."

The audience in the theater applauded the wonderful performance just now and encouraged the theater staff in the background.

People are working harder and harder, not daring to make the slightest mistake.

Zhu Di was also applauding.

"The new play is not bad, and we will do more in the future." After explaining to Zhu Gaochi beside him, Zhu Gaochi nodded repeatedly.

"Damn it, it's better to choose Lao Tzu than Wang Zhen." Qiu Fu, who came from Miyun Stone Box Camp, cursed enviously.

Several colleagues around laughed and cursed.

Behind.

Seated were the rest of the military attaches and officials, and finally the workers.

Different from the previous columns, they looked uplifted and liked the snow scene just now very much. It would be great if all soldiers of Ming Dynasty were like this.

The workers applauded Wang Zhen desperately, and their eager eyes touched the low-level military officers present, and a sense of pride rose in their hearts.

"The scene organized by the little prince is really incredible." Yan Dun sighed, very surprised that Zhu Gaochi's mind was like an antelope's horns.

"Brother Shen, what do you think?"

"good very good."

Shen Kui, the right chief envoy, didn't seem to understand the meaning of Yan Dun's words.

Yan Dun glanced at Shen Kui, "What a cunning old man", thinking to himself, knowing that he cannot be counted on.

It is difficult to be a human being, and it is even more difficult to be an official.

The people in the imperial court hoped that the magistrates would do more things, and it would be best to take all the power in the hands of the vassals.

But who can understand the suffering of local officials.

Everything is difficult in the local area, and everything you want to do will have resistance. The northern border is not like the mainland, and the vassal king is someone who can't get around.

A few days ago, when the censor talked about the three kings, in Yan Dun's opinion, it was a big mistake.

They did not take care of the heart of the saints.

Well this time, the failure of the impeachment made the vassal kings feel free to let go of their hands and feet, what can they do with these local officials.

Those officials in Shaanxi were not afraid of "sacrifice".

What now?
King Qin showed signs of coming out of the mountains again, but those officials had no future and disappeared in the officialdom.

Only a few years have passed in the middle, and the price is too great.

Yan Dun didn't want to bear the price, but Shen Kui, the partner sent by the court, was better at avoiding things than him, and ran extremely fast whenever something went wrong.

The curtain reopened.

second round.

Lost in the snow, the people rescued, and the army and the people worked together to deliver the letter.

……

outside the theater.

At the big meeting place of China Heavy Industry, Zhou Shifeng left the theater ahead of time and came to inspect it in person. After watching the theater play, the prince, the chief minister, and the civil and military ministers first visited the headquarters, and then came to the venue to speak.

There is no room for carelessness.

The long tables in the conference hall are neatly arranged, and the chairs behind the tables are also as neat as soldiers.

On the table in front of each chair, there is a set of porcelain tea cups.

The staff used a long line to make gestures at both ends, pulling it straight, and even placed the teacups in a line. Through all aspects of details, the importance of the meeting and the strength of China Heavy Industry were enhanced.

The workers below don't understand and complain about overkill.

Zhou Shifeng accused: "Have you forgotten about spiritual pursuits? Isn't that the same for all the things that the headquarters does."

"The more grand it is, the more exciting it will be."

A steward who was present comforted the people below with a smile, and finally comforted the staff who had repeated it many times.

……

"This is a steam engine factory. After several years of development, it has not only produced steam engines for pumping water."

The director of the steam engine factory tried his best to keep calm, and introduced in the smoothest voice in front of the leaders.

"The steam engine produced in this workshop is to provide power for the forging presses of the iron factory, and it is also the most powerful steam engine at present."

……

"This is the first plant of the coke refinery."

"Is there more than one factory like this?" Shen Kui, the right minister, asked curiously.

"There are also the second and third coke refinery plants. The coke in the whole of Beiping is provided by the coke refinery."

Looking at the big chimney and coke oven, and feeling the huge power inside, many people who came to China Heavy Industry for the first time were stunned in shock.

"That is?"

Someone pointed to the tall water towers in the distance, one after another, and asked in surprise.

"These are water towers that provide water for the entire China Heavy Industry."

On the water tower, the water pump fixed at a high place pumps the river water into the huge water tank through the pipeline. The height of tens of meters allows the water in the water tank to press down to the lower place by its own gravity.

It is piped into the surrounding workshops and ready for use.

For example, the coke oven in the coke refinery improves the efficiency through water pipes and controls the temperature and humidity of the coke oven.

The difference between a workshop and a factory.

Like roadside restaurants and hotels.

Only the chefs of the hotel will go to other places for further study every year, visit the exchange meetings of their peers, etc. These need time and money.

And roadside restaurants can't afford that kind of behavior.

For example, the original Dongbeitai Village in Daxing County was originally the location of traditional craftsmen, and there were many iron smelting workshops.

Household workshops employ at most two or three apprentices, using traditional techniques day after day and year after year.

There is little need for machines, and manpower can be used as much as possible. This mode of production leads to extremely low technological development.

Shocked, people came to the conference venue and once again felt the "wealth and wealth" of China Heavy Industry.

Zhu Gaochi personally went to invite Yan Dun and Shen Kui to speak, but they refused one after another. He only agreed to the next trip, but he did not agree to speak in public.

Zhu Gaochi understood their thoughts and did not force them.

Since they did not speak, in order to help Zhu Di warm up, Zhu Gaochi took the lead, and after hundreds of civil and military officials from Beiping were seated, he came to the stage to speak first.

"The ultimate goal of China Heavy Industries is to replace manpower with machines, such as steam engines for pumping water. The efficiency of a machine is greater than that of hundreds of people. Under certain circumstances, it can do things that manpower cannot."

"In people's old conception, the use of machines will lead to competition with the people for profit. For example, when China Heavy Industries established iron factories, coke refineries and other factories, some people suggested that it would cause craftsmen and workers to lose their jobs."

"This notion is wrong because they don't understand economics."

"The addition of machines will only allow the use of natural resources to be developed at an increasing rate, benefiting more and more people."

"It turns out that one person, relying on manpower to excavate "one share" of natural resources, after using a machine, will become 'one hundred', 'thousand'."

"When the entire Ming Dynasty replaced manpower with machines, it proved that industrialization had won a preliminary victory."

time is limited.

With Daming's speed of information dissemination efficiency, Zhu Gaochi is not afraid of others to learn, because he can't catch up with Zhu Di's rebellion.

This is also Zhu Gaochi's contribution to the nation.

just in case.

If Zhu Di is not as successful as in history, Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son, will definitely not survive.

But his ideas have spread.

The first industrial revolution was the replacement of manpower by machines.

In the second industrial revolution, machines produced machines.

The more advanced the machine, the higher the efficiency, and the more natural resources are developed, which corresponds to the improvement of social production resources.

The increase of social resources will increase the per capita use of resources.

How to guarantee the per capita income and benefit everyone in it depends on the state's means of allocating social resources.

Therefore, there are only horses of the times, but no times of horses.

The system built around China Heavy Industries is Zhu Gaochi's control tool to ensure that everyone can join in this industrial revolution.

Rather than the first industrial revolution in the UK, workers were sucked blood and could not live to be 30 years old, which finally spurred workers to unite.

The people below listened carefully to Zhu Gaochi's economic methods.

Even the two chief envoys, Yan Dun and Shen Kui, did not despise them, but stared intently at the stage without blinking their eyes.

The changes in Beiping in the past few years can be clearly seen by everyone.

And the person who made this change is Zhu Gaochi on the stage. No matter how arrogant he is, he has to admit Zhu Gaochi's ability.

Because the facts are right in front of you.

Just like the end of tomorrow.

When the firearms of the West were sharp, the Wanli Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, during the period of three victorious battles, did not rest on its laurels, but learned and improved immediately.

Bird guns were formed during that period and joined the army.

Therefore, in the face of Zhu Gaochi's economic approach, even if some people treat it cautiously, no one treats it like a tiger.

Qingfeng is illiterate.

The massacre caused by this kind of behavior is the ultimate imprisonment of civilization, and it is not an ordinary means of consolidating power.

"Have you memorized everything?"

Deputy envoy Zhang Lian couldn't help but ask his colleagues, he really wanted to have a pen and paper now, and he was afraid that when he went back, he would forget what he remembered just now.

Mo Lin shook his head, the theory the little prince said was too novel, there was no anchor in his mind, and he couldn't remember it all at once.

"Just write down half of it."

"When I come back to ask my brother for advice, be sure to check everything." Zhang Lian said anxiously.

Mo Lin agreed.

He knew what Zhang Lian was thinking, and wanted to pass it on to Tianfu, but Mo Lin didn't care about Zhang Lian's inclination, what he valued was people's livelihood.

The people's livelihood in Beiping actually surpassed that of Jianghuai, and the momentum of rapid improvement made Mo Lin feel unbelievable.

He wants to explore the mysteries and write books to spread it.

Zhu Gaochi stepped down and went to invite Zhu Di in person.

Zhu Di stood up.

As Zhu Di got up, some of the military officers in the conference hall got up one after another, so all the military officers stood up.

Gradually mobilized the surrounding area, and officials, big and small, also stood up.

Everyone else stood up, what do you mean if you don't stand up.

At this time, no one wants to spread the word that they are hostile to Yan Wangfu, no one is so stupid.

Zhu Di came to power step by step.

"Crash."

People were already familiar with the act of applauding, and soon became enthusiastic.

Zhu Di imitated his own son and pressed his hand.

The applause gradually stopped.

"Looking at the astronomical phenomena of the past dynasties, if the current year is like this, the frontiers are often restless. The astronomical phenomena this year are the same as those in the past when there were border troubles, so we must be cautious."

"The fulfillment of the celestial phenomena may not be this year, but it may also be in the next two or three years. Because of the orders, you and other troops should deploy defenses from east to west, each guarding its own ground."

Zhu Di received a letter from his father and knew that he would lead the army next year.

Not just him.

The second brother is indeed going out of the mountain.

The second elder brother who has regained the military power, the king of Qin who has the most right to inherit, wonders how scared Ying Tianfu and the gang will be.

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.
