The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 546 The perfect way to achieve peace in the world

The Ministry of Industrial Planning was merged into the Ministry of Industry, and the original military household economic cooperatives completed their historical tasks and began to withdraw from view.

Wei Yi, the big boss of the Military Economic Cooperative, was transferred to the Industrial Planning Department and is now in charge of the Economic Control Department.

Visited various places and brought back new reports.

"When my subordinates returned to the capital, they saw restaurants, food shops, tea shops, etc. all over the streets and alleys. With the development of industry, the economic prosperity brought by it, and the distribution of social resources in our Ming Dynasty gave birth to a huge working class. also prospered.”

Wei Yi smiled.

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

It is different from the industrial revolution society in Western countries.

The working class of the Ming Dynasty was not exploited, so it had the ability to consume, and had a higher desire to purchase goods than the military households of the large well system that Zhu Gaochi wanted to create.

"It's a pity that the large-scale well system has deviated from my original intention."

Zhu Gaochi said regretfully.

Wei Yi knew what was happening in the capital recently, and he had also seen the phenomenon in Katai District in various places.

According to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s plan, the purchasing power of military households should have been higher than that of workers.

Because military households are all "landowners".

It can only be said that traditional thinking still prevails in people's minds, and this generation cannot change their behavior.

The conservative traditions of the land and the farmers who relied on the land preferred to use their excess materials to reproduce the population. There was no problem in reproducing the population, but it was so fertile that it exceeded the current expansion rate of the Ming Dynasty.

"This is a difference caused by the different living and working environments of farmers and workers. I'm afraid it cannot be reversed in a short time."

Wei Yi reminded.

Agricultural stability represents the stability of farmers’ lives.

Stability guarantees everything.

Therefore, based on this phenomenon, Zhu Gaochi improved the health center and established the Katai system.

The military skills passed down from generation to generation, combined with the large-scale well system, will be the most outstanding and stable source of soldiers for the Ming Dynasty.

The cruel reality is that the quality of soldiers who are too civilized is not as good as those from good families who maintain tradition.

Unless technology reaches new heights.

Zhu Gaochi felt that he would not be able to see it in his lifetime.

But even if technology reaches new heights, soldiers from good families with a certain level of education will still play a better role on the front line than those with too high levels of education.

Both the Song Dynasty and the West have proven this.

"It does require adjustments, but I believe everything will be solved." Zhu Gaochi said confidently.

As long as we continue to develop, we can solve one problem after another.

Only without development.

Eventually you will die.

The development of Chinese civilization will not stop unless it is interrupted, but Zhu Gaochi must maintain a virtuous cycle.

Any retrogressive behavior would be a disaster for the people of Ming Dynasty.

Beware of counterattacks by the landlord class, and also beware of emerging forces breaking through their control.

Wei Yi submitted his report.

"The Ming Dynasty had a population of nearly 8000 million. Not counting the Tusi and Annan populations."

"Under the people-oriented model, it brings a huge market, like a huge abyss. All the raw materials obtained from the surrounding agricultural countries, tribal areas, and backward productivity can be sold out in Ming Dynasty."

This is indeed the case in the current era, Zhu Gaochi thought.

At his request, these business practices were not prohibited.

Daming spent money on food stamps and gold and silver and brought back raw materials, which was beneficial to Daming.

Instead of obtaining silver, selling goods does not form a complementary economic cycle, and it does not bring benefits.

just.

The Ming Dynasty was short of copper and silver.

Food stamps promote overseas trade, but it is not always smooth sailing.

In the process of development, new problems will always arise. Zhu Gaochi has a higher understanding of this theory.

"Chinese Heavy Industry's system and industrial chain have retreated in people's livelihood industries, as well as the pace of development of private companies overseas."

"With signs of breaking through the threat posed by China Heavy Industries, all the resources of Ming Dynasty are also available overseas, including energy and other industries."

Wei Yi said seriously.

He is opposed to the policies of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun.

Allowing competition between the China Heavy Industries system and private commercial banks, coupled with various measures, resulted in the private companies' advantages being no worse than those of China Heavy Industries.

On the contrary, flexible private companies began to gradually encroach on the people's livelihood industry.

The most representative one is the textile industry system.

It is already a market controlled by private commercial banks, and the upstream and downstream industries of China Heavy Industry are no longer present.

“Although the output of the steam engine shipyards run by Guangdong businessmen is not as good as that of the three major shipyards, the supply of orders exceeds demand.”

"Spurred by profits, more and more private companies are beginning to set up their own shipyards."

"This is an emerging force. It is larger and more concentrated than traditional forces. My subordinates believe that it should be banned and let the China Heavy Industry System take over everything."

"How can you ban someone if you feel threatened?"

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

The Chinese model itself walks on two legs.

Including later generations, they also strongly advocated and supported the private economy.

The private economy has its own advantages, providing many times more jobs than China Heavy Industry.

"When you feel threatened, you should think about how to govern it, rather than just ban it." Zhu Gaochi said.

Wei Yi really couldn't understand the emperor's grandson's thoughts.

China Heavy Industries and the China Heavy Industries System are our own.

Zhu Gaochi understood Wei Yi's thoughts.Wei Yi does not represent China Heavy Industries, but Zhu Gaochi represents the common people, not any force.

Wei Yi doesn't understand.

There are some things that Zhu Gaochi won't say. If he says it, it will hurt people's hearts. Therefore, it is up to the people below to realize it on their own.

China Heavy Industries is not pure and innocent. It is also a force, and as time goes by, it will become a force that controls the country.

Compared with private trading companies, it is a more difficult force to manage.

Just control mineral resources to provide productivity for the country and the people, let the country control the economic lifeline, and suppress the evil side of private business.

Isn’t that what later generations did?

Even if Zhu Gaochi doesn't understand, he can just follow him and learn.

On the contrary, it was China Heavy Industries and the China Heavy Industries industrial chain that controlled all aspects of the social economy. At that time, I am afraid that Zhu Gaochi would not be able to control them easily.

in contrast.

No matter how private commercial banks expand, their power and influence will not be as huge as the uncontrolled growth of China Heavy Industries.

Wei Yi left disappointed.

Looking at Wei Yi's figure, Zhu Gaochi understood that his recent behavior of supporting private commercial banks had aroused some voices of dissatisfaction within China Heavy Industries.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

No matter what happens, it is nothing more than a battle of interests.

"Is this the ambition of capital you are talking about?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came out.

Zhu Gaochi stood up.

Zhu Yuanzhang's figure appeared from inside, his old face full of contemplation.

"Yes, Grandpa Huang."

"Early on, we restricted our rights. The downgrading of nobles from generation to generation was a huge victory."

"With the development of industrialization, it will bring about the rise of capital power, so it will be necessary to charge an inheritance tax of up to 50.00% based on the businessman's own property."

“Otherwise, capital will surpass the country and dominate the country.”

Whether it is the United States or China in future generations.

Inheritance tax of up to 50.00% is charged.

These are not matters of ordinary people. Their inheritance tax may not even meet the minimum standards.

Inheritance tax is aimed at the redistribution of social resources of capital.

China Heavy Industry and capital cannot be integrated.When the two are separated, Zhu Gaochi can restrain either one.

This is why Zhu Gaochi also wants to control China Heavy Industries.

To solve the problem of domestic population growth, it is necessary to expand business overseas in advance. Otherwise, the country's long-term expenditure will not bring benefits and it will be unsustainable.

You can't always count on the food born from the soil in the early days of overseas immigration. Food can only be the ration to ensure population growth and will not bring benefits.

Because the Ming Dynasty’s food will not be exported to surrounding countries and regions to provide population growth for other countries and regions.

In today's day and age, this is stupid behavior.

The connectedness of things.

To solve the problem of the birth of the large-scale well system, it is necessary to expand the land and expand new land, which will not bring benefits in the early stage.

Looting wealth is plundering wealth, and producing land requires investment.

The production process requires a stable environment.

When it was impossible to immigrate to open up wasteland, the natives made sneak attacks again and again, causing a large number of casualties.

In the early days of the West, criminals were exiled to the New World. According to statistics from later generations, the survival period of most early new settlements did not exceed two years.

brutal reality.

The West was not a new continent obtained by lying flat, and the natives of the New World were not without resistance.

Then let the business groups go first, let them absorb the benefits they want, and create conditions for the later deployment of the army.

Then after the area was cleared, the Ming Dynasty provided financial resources, materials and food, and organized immigrants to develop overseas.

Then in this process, the strength of the business groups will inevitably increase, and the concentration of capital will inevitably monopolize social resources efficiently.

This is very detrimental to the people.

Just like the early days when the power of the powerful was uncontrolled, ordinary people increasingly became the domestic slaves of the powerful.

Similarly, ordinary people will also become the targets of capital exploitation.

According to the mature modern social performance of later generations, the solution is the redistribution of social resources, and the means is inheritance tax.

Just like the nobles being demoted from generation to generation.

The former is power and the latter is capital.

"Ugh."

Zhu Yuanzhang understood Zhu Gaochi's thoughts and couldn't help but sigh.

"The wise men of the past, whenever land annexation was serious and the country's economy went bankrupt, they always wanted to formulate a set of policies that would last forever and solve all problems based on the experience of the previous dynasties."

"But where in the world can we get the perfect law?"

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that it was his grandson who reminded him.

Zhu Yuanzhang once hoped to find a set of methods that would remain unchanged forever, allowing people to perform their duties and maintain social stability forever.

Now he understands that his idea was wrong.

"Why is it so difficult to let the common people find peace?"

"Because the essence of society is competition."

Zhu Gaochi didn't take it seriously. Just like the famous saying of the great man, it revealed the essence of things. Fighting is an eternal change in society.
