Chapter 404 Industrialization of Ming Dynasty

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his heart tightened. It is absolutely impossible for such a bright prospect to become empty talk.He hurriedly asked: "Master Zhong, what is the premise?"

Wen Tiren is also very concerned. If Zhong Jinwei described such a prosperous Ming Dynasty due to the feudal clan overseas, his achievements as the first assistant will surpass that of any first assistant in the Ming Dynasty, and his name will surely go down in history.

Therefore, like Emperor Chongzhen, he would never allow such a bright prospect to become empty talk.

"Your Majesty, the premise of these is that you must be able to produce enough supplies. Otherwise, there will not be enough supplies in the Ming Dynasty, so how can you talk about supporting the North American continent?" Zhong Jinwei pointed out this problem that the people of the Ming Dynasty tended to ignore, and at the same time expressed his support for him. The follow-up ideas laid the groundwork.

This idea came to him just now. On the way back to the capital, he only considered the issue of how to arrange the clan, and didn't think about it further.This kind of discussion is really necessary, it can discuss deeper things, and discuss issues that are easy to ignore when a person thinks about it.

When Wen Tiren heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. If the Ming Dynasty didn't have enough food, how could they help North America? Could it be that the people in the country would starve to death?

As soon as this idea appeared, Wen Tiren shook his head. He didn't know if such a thing happened or not in other dynasties.But in Daming, it is absolutely not allowed to appear.

This is not a question of whether one agrees or disagrees. If someone does that, the Qing government and the opposition will be overwhelming, and those who do this will go home packed.

"Master Zhong, what should we do?" Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen thought that this matter might not be easy to solve. There is a limit to what one person can make, and at most one more person can do it.But in this way, what that person was doing will stop.

Wang Chengen also shook his head over there and sighed secretly, everything Zhongxing Hou said just now has become a moon in the water, a flower in the mirror, and nothing exists.

He has always thought that everything in the world has a certain amount, and the total number is certain.If this object is more, then the other object must be less.

But they saw that Zhong Jinwei was not in a hurry, and even said with a smile on his face: "This matter still requires the joint efforts of the whole Ming Dynasty. Once this goal is achieved, our Ming Dynasty's national strength will be invincible. Even those Western countries Together, we will not be our opponents."

Wen Tiren was very dissatisfied after hearing this, and felt that what Zhong Jinwei said was a baby who was thinking about running before he could walk.

He coughed, which attracted Zhong Jinwei's attention, then frowned, and asked with his nose slightly open: "Marquis Zhongxing, our difficulty is how to achieve this goal. The materials we obtain can not only meet domestic needs, but also have spare capacity Go to support the North American vassal state."

Zhong Jinwei looked at Wen Tiren, and said in surprise: "I just said that as long as Da Ming works together and pools his wisdom and efforts, this goal can be achieved."

"Master Zhong, Wen Qing means how to work hard, how to do it specifically?" Emperor Chongzhen understood that the two of them had missed the point of the topic, so he reminded Zhong Jinwei.

"Ah," Zhong Jinwei smiled awkwardly, turned his head to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "I'm just about to say this next."

When Wen Tiren heard this, he felt anxious about co-authoring.So, he stopped talking and just listened to Zhong Jinwei's speech.

"Your Majesty, the specific method is to improve the efficiency of doing things. For example, if you can only build a boat with one bow today, you must find a way to let the existing people build a boat with three bows. There are two specific methods."

When Wang Chengen heard this, he couldn't help interjecting: "Marquis Zhongxing, if you want to do what you say, what will happen when the ship is finished?"

Zhong Jinwei was speechless, looked at Wang Cheng'en and said, "Grandpa Wang, this ship can never be finished, or the raw materials can never be used up. Daming is gone, and there are other worlds out there. The earth is so big, you want If I can finish all the raw materials, I don’t think I’m in Daming, I’m on Mars.”

Although Zhong Jinwei didn't understand what he said, it meant that Wang Chengen's idea was naive.Wang Chengen smiled embarrassingly, and dared not speak any more.

Zhong Jinwei turned his head, looked at Emperor Chongzhen, stretched out his right index finger, and continued with the words just now: "First, improve the way of workmanship, work together, and figure out how to do things better. This requires the court to increase rewards to encourage Such behavior."

Then Zhong Jinwei stretched out his middle finger and said: "Secondly, change the concept, which is the concept of automation that I mentioned to His Majesty before; what can be done automatically will never be done manually, and what can be mass-produced will never be done one by one."

Zhong Jinwei shook two fingers at this point, and continued: "If these two points can be achieved, social productivity will be greatly increased. In the course of historical development, this will also be realized in the future, called industrialization. By that time At that time, the total economic output of the society in a year will be the sum of the previous decades. In this way, it will not only meet domestic needs, but also support the expansion of the Ming Dynasty, obtain more territories and resources, and feed More people. The Ming Dynasty at that time will be an existence that people overseas will look up to."

When Zhong Jinwei said this, he became excited.If Ming was the first to achieve industrialization hundreds of years ahead of schedule, which other country could beat Ming?

Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren didn't quite understand the many new terms in Zhong Jinwei's words just now, but after listening to them together, they could still hear that Zhong Jinwei meant that they could quickly obtain a large amount of supplies.

Emperor Chongzhen was also excited by the prospect Zhong Jinwei described. He slapped the table excitedly, causing the dishes on the table to clank, but he said to Zhong Jinwei without hesitation: "Okay. Master Zhong, I will How about letting Daming use this industrialized method?"

Seeing Zhong Jinwei nodding vigorously, he turned his head to look at Chief Assistant Wen Tiren again.

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen looking at him, Wen Tiren expressed his attitude with a smile on his face: "I will do my best to help Your Majesty rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty and make it famous all over the world. However, this matter of industrialization needs to be carefully discussed and planned. Easy."

Zhong Jinwei started from how to solve the clan, until now the concept of industrialization, actually involved all aspects of Ming Dynasty.Without an overall plan, things can easily go wrong.

But Zhong Jinwei pointed out that at least it is better than the spontaneous industrial revolution in the past history, or even the passive industrial revolution in China.

When he mentioned industrialization just now, he thought of many things.For example, a large amount of manpower is required for industrialization. In history, the British used the enclosure movement to obtain manpower; the capital required for industrialization was obtained through the means of colonizing the world to obtain primitive capital; the driving force for the industrial revolution was the control of the bourgeoisie. Only with power can there be motivation.

But the current Ming Dynasty, whose national conditions are different from that of Britain, has the foundation of the industrial revolution.

For example, manpower. Daming had a population of at least 5000 million, and because of serious land annexation, many people had no arable land, or became refugees, or farmed for landlords, or entered small workshops. These were the manpower base.

Such as capital, Daming's wealth is the most in the world.As long as private capital is effectively mobilized, there will be original capital.

For example, the Ming Dynasty urgently needs to resettle the clan, and solve a series of problems that the Ming Dynasty urgently needs to solve from point to surface.In other words, the ruling class of Ming Dynasty also has an urgent need for this.

Therefore, Zhong Jinwei could think in his heart that as long as Da Ming carried out the plan step by step, regardless of feudalism or capitalism, the industrial revolution would be carried out on the land of Da Ming, so that Da Ming would continue to stand on top of the world.

Thinking of this, Zhong Jinwei smiled happily.It seems to see that the Ming Dynasty of later generations is like the United States, no, more proud than the United States!At that time, there will no longer be such a word as xenophobia, and Chinese people don’t need to learn English anymore, let English die!
