The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 421 Let's leave a name in history
Liao Yong saw a different society.

The bustling Caohe Wharf in Tianjin, the city that never sleeps in Beiping, new high-rise buildings, wider streets, parks, and squares.

Tall water towers and huge bell towers are built everywhere.

An endless stream of horse-drawn carriages.

People who ride mules, donkeys and horses.

The dense railway network, steaming trains seen from time to time.

There are restaurants and food shops one after another on the street.

Various shops.

Neat lampposts, street shops with endless signboards, flags, lanterns, and even ropes hanging on the street, with rows of small flags and decorations below.

There are signs on the street.

There are public toilets on every street.

There was an endless stream of people on the street, wearing all kinds of clothes, and there were many women.

In the surrounding suburbs of Beijing, new urban areas have been built one after another. The city walls have not been expanded, and there are tall buildings everywhere.

The most is the construction site.

The construction site is connected to the construction site, and houses are being built one after another.

New buildings are laid with more new technologies, such as brick roads heated by briquettes in winter, pressurized wells, and pipelines for centralized water supply.

Bright glass windows, clean and beautiful paint.

In the agricultural machinery shop, Liao Yong saw all kinds of agricultural machinery, some were ancient records he had seen in books, and some he had never seen before.

The Beiping Library is a huge eight-story building with a collection of [-] books. There is a huge pool under the square of the building.

At the top of the building, there is a water tower and strange pipes, which are said to be used for fire prevention.

fire hall.

There are dozens of waterwheels, and water pumps are hung on the waterwheel vehicles. After the water can be pumped, people use the pressure to spray water to high places.

Hall of Guards.

The yamen separated from the chief secretary is responsible for maintaining local law and order, arresting Xiao Xiao and other public security work.

"Is this what my mentor said, the small yamen that Beiping will implement?"

Liao Yong wakes up.

One by one, the yamen were separated from the chief secretary. Although they were still under the management of the chief secretary, the power of the chief secretary was still reduced.

The pressure in Liao Yong's heart increased.

The thriving Beiping did not respond to the complaints in Tianfu's public opinion that the people were in dire straits.

"I'm selling newspapers."

"I'm selling newspapers."

The children selling newspapers changed from batch to batch.

There is an endless stream of people flowing into Peiping. These newcomers who have not yet enjoyed the dividends of Beiping's industrialization and development are still on the poverty line.

Many of them are still looking for opportunities in Beiping, or have just started working, and have no savings to improve their living conditions.

"A newspaper."

Liao Yong said.

I found a restaurant, ordered two dishes in the lobby, and ate while reading the newspaper.

"Newspapers are a sharp weapon to change the atmosphere of public opinion. It seems that I have to write a letter to my mentor to remind my mentor that the Beijing newspaper's semicolon in the capital must be banned at some point."

Because of family reasons, Liao Yong did not inherit the title of his family, and he is currently only a cavalier, which he is dissatisfied with.

So he chose to join the emperor's grandson's family and worship Fang Xiaoru as his teacher.

This road is the Cotai Strip.

Black and white take all.

In history, this person rose like a rocket and became the governor. This person's vision and talent can be seen.

Liao Yong quickly discovered the power of newspapers.

in the South.

The newspapers in Peiping did not spread, so the public opinion in the south was in the hands of the gentry.

The newspaper said who is better.

Then many people will be affected.

same.

In places where there are no newspapers, if the gentry say whoever is bad, the common people will be influenced and think whoever is bad.

In the newspaper, Liao Yong also saw the names of several people.

"These people actually came to Peiping."

Everyone in Ming Dynasty knew how rich the salt merchants were, and the names of the largest salt merchants were also known to many people.

In the early Ming Dynasty, people were not completely resistant to business in the old-fashioned impression.

Opening Chinese law was the encouragement to salt merchants in the early Ming Dynasty.

It has brought benefits to the imperial court, frontier army, and salt merchants. With the active participation of salt merchants, it is possible to formulate this law. Does anyone know how rich the salt merchants are?

Liao Yong saw the names of these people.

"It seems that the salt merchants support the Beiping model."

In Beiping's highly mobile society, it is impossible to control the population. Liao Yong wore ordinary clothes, like a scholar from the south.

Beiping also has a large number of scholars from the south, which did not arouse the curiosity of others.

The few guard officials I had contacted before were either dazzled by hatred and could be used but not worth reusing.

Either he accepted the status quo and didn't have the courage to resist. For a while, Liao Yong was a little confused.

So he left Peiping quickly, took a train on the railway, and went to Shanxi and Shaanxi.

On the day Liao Yong left.

Research Division.

A staff member of the Social Theory Research Office visited Liu Tong.

This is one of the first batch of writers who contributed articles to newspapers and became a professional contributor, and a great writer who has won a cultural award.

"Master Liu, the article you published at the beginning of the year speculated about the future society, which set off a new genre in literature."

"Don't dare to take it." Liu Tong said politely.

"To disturb Master Liu today, because our department is newly established, specializing in the study of social development theory."

"I've heard of it, but I don't know exactly what to do."

Liu Tong is very enthusiastic.

The newly established department employs many famous people in society, including famous theorists, inventors, and medical scientists.

Liu Tong is a model figure in the new era, and he has been paying attention to this. Today, he was approached by someone, and he couldn't help being excited.

"Is such that."

"The purpose of our department is to hire talented people in the society to calculate the development of society from various aspects, draw inferences based on the data of various aspects, and submit them to the higher authorities for reference."

"You are a master of literature and the founder of the theoretical deduction of the future society, so I sincerely invite you to join our department."

Liu Tong suddenly realized, and said embarrassingly: "In fact, many of my articles were wrong, and many of them have been denied by reality."

The land revolution in Beiping and the large-scale development projects in the four provinces directly changed the social model. Another big change made most of Liu Tong's inferences based on the social development in the past few years a joke.

"It's normal to make mistakes, and it's unrealistic for everyone to be able to predict the future."

The staff didn't take it seriously, and took the initiative to explain: "According to the rating, various subsidies will be given every month, and there is no need to sit on duty."

"What our department prepares for Master Liu is a talent subsidy of [-] cents per month. Usually, if you don't do anything, it will be paid as it is."

For such a good thing, triangular money is nothing to Liu Tong now, but Liu Tong has not yet treated money like dung.

So Liu Tong agreed to hire the staff.

After joining, Liu Tong realized how huge this department is.

There are several teams.

The team assigned by Liu Tong is led by a mathematician to assign estimated numerical models to the social population.

His duty is to distribute his ideas, make inferences about the future society, and supplement the model framework of this group.

The team's office is in the headquarters area of ​​China Heavy Industry.

Due to personnel reasons, each project team is not in the same place. The project team where Liu Tong is located has a huge data room.

Liu Tong saw more confidential information, including future industrial development plans, future military reform plans, future railway construction plans, etc., and even a grand plan for the suzerainty system.

Before reading these materials, Liu Tong signed a confidentiality agreement with strict measures and penalties.

Liu Tong was upright, and never thought of betraying Beiping, so naturally there was no pressure, and he happily signed the confidentiality regulations.

After seeing these materials, Liu Tong realized how shallow his previous inferences were, and felt a little embarrassed.

Next door to them is the project team for the distribution of workers and peasants.

Liu Tong stayed in the project team for half a month. After reading all the materials, he didn't need to report any more. He spent another half month at home and made a huge inference map of the future society.

Some of the questions he raised and those raised by others, after comprehensive consideration, some of them have attracted attention.

The Research Department submitted it to Zhu Gaochi.

"That's why I push the power of merchants."

"Manpower is limited, and people are not as good as heaven. In order to ensure social stability, a group of businessmen must exist and give them strong support."

Zhu Gaochi explained.

After listening to Zhu Gaochi's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.

China Heavy Industries could obviously swallow all the industries, but under Zhu Gaochi's insistence, it returned some industries to the society.

"Businessmen's capital is concentrated, and the speed of making money is much higher than that of ordinary people, and this speed will become faster and faster."

"Under the theory of ensuring the growth of the social model of the middle class, various rules and regulations and social responsibility requirements will also be formulated for businessmen."

"The high inheritance tax is just one of them. There are also various treatment and living conditions for workers that are on par with China Heavy Industry."

"In the end, we will form a model in which there is no distinction between workers inside and outside China Heavy Industry."

The cake is huge.

It is those groups that divide the cake.

In the process of how to distribute, ensuring that the people are allocated the largest piece will inevitably offend many people.

Only when all walks of life reach a tacit agreement can we finally follow this rule.

Western modern society.

Under hundreds of years of oppression, Western workers set off time after time of resistance movements, which allowed all walks of life to reach this tacit understanding.

What about Daming?

The happiness of the people never falls from the sky.

Just as there is no savior in the world, everything can only depend on oneself.

Zhu Gaochi wanted to be the savior, so of course he knew how much resistance he would encounter in the future.

"I'm afraid it will make many people dissatisfied." Jin Zhong reminded.

Jin Zhong is a talent.

If the little prince does this, there will be dissatisfaction among many people.

During the process of industrialization, many progressive landowners, scholars, and businessmen actively joined the process.

Their strength developed rapidly.

This class will never disappear, there will only be new changes.

There are no senior nobles in Beiping, and no deep-rooted big landlord class, so Zhu Gaochi faced little resistance.

But that doesn't mean there aren't any other places.

And the dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon.

Now Zhu Gaochi has not announced a high inheritance tax, but he will announce it sooner or later. On the day of the announcement, even the loyal Zhang Dehui, who can guarantee that he will not be dissatisfied.

Because according to Zhu Gaochi's inheritance tax formulation method, Zhang Dehui's inheritance after his death will be taxed in full half.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Jin Zhong in front of him.

Jing Nan hero.

Why not his help.

These mid- and lower-level officers joined the formation of the new army, and they were not affected when the rights and interests of the guard generals were deprived.

Jin Zhong's family has already declined, and Zhu Gaochi is also someone who can be of great use.

It's just that in the growth of this group of people, Zhu Gaochi must be vigilant not to let them quickly degenerate into traditional forces.

"With Mr. Jin, Mr. Ge, and generals like Zhu Neng, as long as we are united internally, external resistance cannot be shaken."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

Hearing the young prince's heart-to-heart words, Jin Zhong was extremely moved. A man dies for his confidant, the prince is the one who gives him a chance, and the young prince is the one who trains him.

"Young master, don't worry, your subordinates will follow you to the death."

Zhu Gaochi held Jin Zhong's hand trustingly.

In the years since I came to Daming, from a 15-year-old boy to a 21-year-old young man, the old days seem to be still in front of me.

"Let us leave our name in history and become ancestors admired by future generations."

"The little prince's wish is also my wish!"

Jin Zhong laughed.

Zhu Gaochi smiled.

Bloodless change, he has never imagined.

Not to mention such a big change.

Letting the common people take advantage of the profits from the cake is an unprecedented change, and bloodshed is bound to happen.

From the day he decided to guide the development of the Chinese model of industrialization in Beiping and founded China Heavy Industries, Zhu Gaochi knew what he would face.

The road of Ming's industrial development will definitely not become a more efficient tool for the interest classes to suck blood from the common people like the West.

The life expectancy of an English worker is ten years less than the average life expectancy of an English farmer.

What is this concept.

It's inhumane.

Only if we walk on the right path from the very beginning, the resistance will become smaller and smaller. Otherwise, the interest class cultivated by industrialization will become more powerful. At that time, it is impossible to turn around by relying on personal guidance.
