The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 220

Under the arch bridge in the back garden of the Wangfu.

A few ladies sprinkled in fish food.

Under the bridge, the running water brought in from the outside makes the stream clean and clear. At the bottom of the river, the colorful fine sand can be seen clearly.

The small fish are in groups, their tails are wagging, and they are cruising back and forth in the water world.

"whee."

Ten-year-old Zhu Zhiming, the youngest lady in the palace, leaned out of the bamboo fence excitedly, wanting to swim like a fish.

far away.

In the gazebo, Zhu Di frowned, Mrs. Xu stood up, and was about to stop her, when Zhu Yuying, the eldest sister beside Zhu Zhiming, pulled Zhu Zhiming back.

It seemed that Zhu Zhiming lowered his head aggrievedly as if he was teaching her a lesson.

"The eldest sister is here."

Zhu Gaochi, who was with the gazebo, comforted his parents.

The two brothers Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui disappeared without a trace, but no one was worried, they were followed.

The sun is shining brightly today, and Zhu Di will soon leave the palace to lead the army in Liaodong, taking advantage of his spare time.

Zhu Gaochi suggested that the family gather together in the garden to play, so there is today's scene.

Zhu Di is now more and more satisfied with Zhu Gaochi.

Except for the boss who seems a bit dull in terms of Taoism, the rest, whether it is business or taking care of the sisters and brothers in the family, makes Zhu Di happy.

"Weifu has already spoken to your grandpa and pointed out the daughter of the Guo family. If there are no accidents, the matter is probably settled."

Zhu Gaochi showed no extra expression.

There are not many historical records of Guo's daughter, but through a few strokes, it can be seen that this woman is indeed beautiful.

As for who is more beautiful, Xu Miaojin or the daughter of the Guo family, it can only be said that each has its own merits, it is difficult to judge, and both have fascinated a generation of emperors.

In Zhu Gaochi's view.

Xu Miaojin wins in talent, while Guo's daughter wins in character.

In the words of later generations, Xu Miaojin is a progressive woman, and Guo's daughter is a traditional woman. In Zhu Gaochi's mind, these two words are not derogatory terms and are not linked to other derogatory terms.

"Father has won this opportunity to control the military power in Liaodong, and with the support of the Guo family, I hope that father will not waste this opportunity."

Zhu Gaochi said sincerely.

He has no plan to develop industry in Liaodong, not in recent years, because Liaodong's current confidence is too weak.

If he enters the capital smoothly in the future, then it will be a game of chess for the whole country.

"Why are you talking to your father?" Mrs. Xu raised her hand and lightly slapped Zhu Gaochi on the arm, and Zhu Di also laughed angrily at the eldest son's words.

"It seems that you are outside, and you are used to ordering people around, but now you have arranged for me." Zhu Di stared deliberately.

Zhu Gaochi was not intimidated by his "General Conquering Peking", he knew Zhu Di too well.

Zhu Di threw away the melon seeds in his hand, clapped his hands and stood up, pointed to Zhu Gaochi, "Come with me."

The two father and son left the gazebo.

Xu didn't worry about them. She could see the changes between the two fathers and sons in the past few years. Ever since the boss was working outside, Zhu Di never beat the boss again.

last year.

The second child went to the guard to learn experience, and Zhu Di never beat the second child again.

"Years ago, Yushi impeached the Wangfu. One of the incidents was that the Wangfu was colluding with Japanese pirates. Let's talk about it."

"The son did not hide this matter from his father." Zhu Gaochi followed behind Zhu Di and explained.

"We know."

Zhu Di nodded.

"If you want to develop Jinzhou in the shortest time, you need rich manpower, but the population in Liaodong is insufficient, so you can't provide the required manpower. Therefore, with the help of the Japanese pirates, you can buy slaves from Japan." Zhu Gaochi said succinctly.

Zhu Di asked curiously: "Didn't you recruit a lot of people from Shandong and the South? I heard that there are thousands of people. Isn't that enough?"

"What can a few thousand people do?" Zhu Gaochi disagreed.

"Moreover, the people of Ming Dynasty were recruited. We must control the intensity of labor and not lose our health. Only by using slaves recklessly can we develop Jinzhou with maximum efficiency."

If the barren Jinzhou is developed according to the model of China Heavy Industry, not only is the efficiency low, but the most important input cost is too high and the time is long.

The final income, from all aspects, means that it will take decades to recover the cost, which is very unfavorable to the operation of the economy.

It is the most beneficial "business" to use slaves to offset these negatives, lay the foundation of Golden State as soon as possible, and then replace them with workers to receive the results.

This is true at the national level.

"Workers in forest farms will develop into a consumer group in the future, while slave labor will be consumables at the beginning of industrial development."

"You are really ruthless."

Zhu Di said again, but there was no dissatisfaction on his face.

as a superior.

Sometimes the interests of some people have to be sacrificed, which not only hurts feelings, but also easily causes civil strife. Therefore, in Zhu Di's view, it is better for the boss to think of sacrificing the interests of outsiders than sacrificing the interests of his own.

I have to admire the idea of ​​the eldest son, always by surprise.

"It seems that the Japanese pirates in Guangdong Shangzuo are fading away, probably because of Jinzhou." Zhu Di was thoughtful.

"Could it be that Japanese pirates are all cooperating with Jinzhou?"

"I can't say all of them, but many people have joined the slave trade." Zhu Gaochi replied.

"Slave trade?" Zhu Di said new words.

Zhu Gaochi explained patiently.

The slave trade was viable.

What is the most amazing thing about Daming?
Products of civilization—commodities.

The Chinese civilization has achieved self-sufficiency, that is to say, basically China has its own products that can replace the commodities in the world.

resulting in little external demand.

Maritime trade is costly and dangerous, and the goods that have been transported through untold hardships cannot be sold at high prices or even sold in China.

Unless it is a specialty such as spices and ivory.

And the commodities of Chinese civilization are needed by the surrounding powers and countries, as well as by the Arabs and the West.

Silk, porcelain, etc. can be sold at high prices in all regions of the world, and the ten-fold benefit makes people unable to give up.

In order to obtain these commodities, most of them need to be exchanged for silver.

However, the national policy of the Ming Dynasty controlled foreign trade in a disguised form, avoided this exchange mode, and controlled it to a certain extent.

Japanese pirates are not machines, but people.

People are afraid of death.

Just like the frontier peoples who always want to plunder the interior, there are successes in history, but more failures, and every time they fail, they will also die.

Everything is for living.

So Zhu Gaochi provided a new model, the slave trade.

In an agricultural society, there is no need for slaves, but the development of industry requires a lot of investment, so there is a demand for slaves.

Japanese pirates provided slaves to Jinzhou for silver, or directly exchanged it for goods, even weapons.

Is it easier for Japanese pirates to rob in the prosperous Ming Dynasty where they are unfamiliar, or is it easier to rob in a country they are familiar with, two hundred vassal states?
Historically, this period was the period when Japanese pirates disappeared, and this is the proof.

The most stable period in Japan will be the weakest era when the Tokugawa family ruled and the power of the two hundred daimyos was weakened hundreds of years later.

At that time, Japan was considered to have a stable national system.

In today's Japan, there are as many daimyos as there are dogs, and Japanese pirates are more powerful than many daimyos, but Japan is too poor.

In the hands of the poor, other people's food tanks are empty, and there is no profit.

It is different now.

The poor in Japan have become valuable, not only can they be sold for money, but can also be exchanged for daimyo products.

So Zhu Gaochi didn't worry that the Japanese pirates would not cooperate with him.

"This is raising Gu." Zhu Di expressed worry, "If a Gu King is raised, there will be endless disasters."

"The Japanese pirates are dogs. They are very obedient to the strong and bark their teeth to the weak. If our Ming Dynasty has been strong, we are not afraid that these people will not obey. It’s not unfounded.”

Zhu Gaochi said confidently.

"It's good if you have an idea in your heart." Zhu Di reminded him a bit, seeing that his son had plans, he didn't exhort him too much.

Peking Grand Theater.

The seats were full, and tickets were hard to come by. The new show on the stage made the audience excited and applauded.

"How about it, did you play well?"

Huo really said on purpose.

"Go! Go! Go."

Wang Zhen's face was as red as a boiled shrimp. Fortunately, the light line was not clear, so people couldn't see it, otherwise he would have been looking for a crack in the ground to get in.

I heard that the new play came from the little prince's idea.

But this fucking picture of himself was so good that Wang Xin felt an inexplicable feeling of pride and shame.

I always feel like I have been put on a layer of shackles, so I have to pay attention to my words and deeds in the future.

such.

It's actually not bad.

Wang Zhen suddenly thought that he hoped people would see him like this.

Following the flow of people and leaving the Peking Grand Theater, I heard people around me praising General Wang, saying that General Wang is the same character as Grandpa Yue.

Wang Zhen lowered his head and said nothing, Huo Zhen beside him had envy in his eyes.

Suddenly.

Wang Zhen felt that he had nothing to ask for in this life, only his current fame filled his heart, and he couldn't hold other things.

As long as forest farms and ship administration can help the economy develop and improve the lives of the people, it is a pity that Wang Zhen is no longer there.

Spiritual prosperity has indeed changed Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen chose to stay in the forest farm.

He could see that the momentum of the shipping administration would surpass the forestry farm. He was originally inclined to be in charge of the shipping administration, but the forestry farm was the foundation, so he changed his mind now.

then.

Zhonghua Heavy Industry transferred a new person in charge, Han Qi, the former railway station chief of Hejian Station, and he and Wang Zhen discussed shipping affairs in front of Zhu Gaochi.

"If you want to develop shipping administration, there are several major problems."

"First of all, the keel of the hull needs big wood, and there is no shortage in Liaodong, but the wood needs to be treated, sun-dried, oiled, etc. The preliminary work takes several years, but the manufacturing time is shorter."

"Today's fishing boats are mostly made with simple means, they don't last long, and the boats are small enough to handle it."

"And there is a lot of wood in Lushunkou, and it will take at least a year to wait, so how to develop this year depends on your ideas."

"There are also fish source issues, wind and wave issues, typhoon issues, etc. These are all major issues that deserve attention and cannot be ignored."

Wang Zhen is very comprehensive.

After Zhu Gaochi listened, he felt that Wang Zhen had really worked hard.

Han Qi's talent lies in his organizational skills.

Although he needs to learn, he can stand out from many webmasters. Zhu Gaochi trusts Han Qi and can achieve his goal.

Zhu Gaochi waited for Wang Zhen to finish speaking, and helped to supplement the situation in Lushun off the coast.

Most of the Yellow Sea is more than 60 meters deep, and the deepest is only more than 200 meters.The normal water depth of the East China Sea is 400 meters, and the deepest part is more than 300 meters.

There are continental windshields on three sides of the Yellow Sea, surrounded by the word "ji", and the average velocity of the sea current is ten centimeters per second.

The seabed is gentle and the water is not deep, resulting in many islands and reefs, allowing ships to have abundant footholds in the sea.

The average wave height of the Yellow Sea is mostly 0.1-0.7 meters, while the wave height of wind and waves in the East China Sea is generally 0.8-1.9 meters, and the annual average wave height of the whole sea area is almost more than 1 meter.

Therefore, Fujian people are really close to death when they go to sea.

In an environment with many mountains and little land and insufficient food, the ancient saying that it is better to go to the mountains than to go to sea is still circulating, which shows the difficulty of going to sea in Fujian.

The most difficult level of going to sea in the Yellow Sea is only the lowest level of going to sea in Fujian.

Fujian's advantage is also due to geographical reasons. Although the waves are big, it is easy to develop external trade and immigration.

For hundreds of years, most of the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia came from Fujian.

These overseas Chinese made important contributions to the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty.

The Yellow Sea has so many advantages, and the inner Bohai Sea and Liaodong Bay are more stable waters than the Yellow Sea. Therefore, it is Zhu Gaochi's well-thought-out plan to develop the fishing and shipping industries in Lushun.

In the current era, the difficulties we are facing are the lightest in all sea areas, whether it is political or environmental.

Zhu Di left, and Zhu Gaochi re-supervised Peiping.

Wang Zhen also went back to Lushun, brought back Zhu Gaochi's letter, and distributed it to Sun Yan and Deng Xing brothers.

Han Qi stayed in Beiping for the time being, and instead of going to Lushun immediately, he ran to the headquarters every day, trying to get resources from various departments.

"If you don't rush to get down to business, you won't be afraid that the little prince will be dissatisfied by pestering us all day." Finance Minister Cai Wen joked.

"Sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. Only by sharpening the knife first can we improve efficiency." Han Qi said with a smile.

Cai Wen shook his head helplessly, "All the allocations of various departments were budgeted years ago, so I dare not speak to you."

According to the model proposed by the little prince, the entire China Heavy Industry system is a planned distribution system.

For example, China Heavy Industries worked out the production plans of each factory based on the reports of each factory, the forecast for the coming year, and the development goals.

Each factory makes a report and reports it to the headquarters according to the production plan, the required raw materials, food stamps, workers, etc.

The various departments of the headquarters make budgets, and finally the money and food matters are brought into the finance department, which allocates funds.

same.

The downstream iron ore, coal mine, miscellaneous ore, etc. will formulate corresponding production according to the order of China Heavy Industry.

Including the Honeycomb Chamber of Commerce, also follow this system.

"You let the little prince approve all the notes, so that the finance department can handle special matters with you, otherwise, even if you cross my threshold, I won't let go."

Seeing that Cai Wen refused to enter, Han Qi had no choice but to give up, and turned back to beg Zhu Gaochi helplessly.

"Last year, the headquarters transferred [-] cattle, [-] mules and donkeys, and the rest of the pigs and sheep were not counted."

"You want to raise three levels beyond this year's plan, what can you say?" Zhu Gaochi asked in wonder.

"Although the shipping administration is separate from the forestry farm, the two are interdependent. To achieve the Hundred Ships Plan, the forestry farm must first be developed."

One of Han Qi's missions is to build a hundred big ships.

"You can be human."

Zhu Gaochi was noncommittal.

Wang Zhen should have spoken about this matter, and he did, but after being rejected by the Finance Department, he gave up.

On the other hand, Han Qi could put down his face and beg his grandpa to sue his grandma everywhere.

So Zhu Gaochi was not angry.
