The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 133 The Power of the Little Prince

The weather is cold.

Zhu Gaochi was wearing a brocade-trimmed wool cloak, and beside him were Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Zhang Fu, Chen Gui, Yuan Rong, Xu Ning, several guards, dozens of workers, and several carts.

Starting from the right guard of Yanshan, every military household working in the railway engineering team will pay a visit and send twenty catties of rice.

"Kowtow quickly."

The old military household took the whole family and kowtowed at the door, thanking Dai Dai.

Young and young, both touched and proud.

Ten catties of rice is not much, but the nobleman personally delivered it to the door, giving enough face, the young man was so excited that he was speechless.

"The old people are all family members, so why be polite."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Gaochi patted the young man on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Work hard, and you will be the leader in the future."

The young man was already trembling with excitement.

All the generals were smiling behind Zhu Gaochi, watching the little prince talking to the military households.

Wang Zhen, a hundred households in the guard, said loudly to the surrounding military households: "Eat the meal of the prince's family, wear the clothes of the prince's house, and receive the salary of the prince's house."

"Knowing that the military households in the guard are poor, the little prince specially ran an errand for our military households. With such great kindness, whoever does not serve the palace wholeheartedly in the future will be a beast without conscience."

Zhu Gaochi was very satisfied with Wang Zhen's words.

It's no wonder that this person can become the seventh among the future Jingnan heroes with the status of a hundred households. They are all top-notch.

Although this sentence is not entirely correct, for example, the Weisuo is self-sufficient.

But when you serve in the military, you get money.

The military households of the Three Guards of Yanshan naturally serve the palace, so Wang Zhen's words are not unreasonable.

Otherwise, why did Zhu Di say rebellion, and the three guards of Yanshan followed suit.

"Is the engineering team working hard?" Zhu Gaochi asked the young man with concern.

Young people are incoherent.

"No...not hard work."

The work of the railway engineering team must be hard work, and there is no hard work.

But there are also differences.

Because no one in the railway engineering team used a whip.

Like the later generations of the United States, Chinese laborers were used to build railways, so that there were many bones, and there were flesh and blood of Chinese laborers under every inch of the railroad tracks.

It is because the United States has to rush the construction period, and the capitalists naturally force the Chinese workers to work hard for the greatest benefit.

However, the construction of railways in China in later generations did not produce this kind of status quo.

Just like the speed of the production line.

As long as it is a reasonable speed, workers can accept it.

But the black-hearted capitalists adjusted the speed of the production chain very fast, and did not allow workers to drink water and go to the toilet, so they naturally became vampires.

There are a large number of construction workers over 60 and [-] years old in the construction sites of later generations. It is only a reasonable arrangement, and the work is indeed acceptable.

For example, if one person carries a railroad track, it is fatal. If two persons carry it, it is heavy work. If four persons carry it, it is easy work.

"What about training?"

"The practice is also very good. Many people are envious. Knowing that the engineering team has a light workload, good food, and free work clothes, they all want to work in the engineering team." The young man said honestly.

Zhu Gaochi heaved a sigh of relief.

This is the advantage of monopoly, without competition.

If there is competition, we must fight the price.

Competing for prices is about comparing costs. Naturally, whoever has lower wages and works more will have lower costs.

Leading to the birth of various squeezes.

During the period of the British Industrial Revolution, the competition between factories really did not treat workers as human beings.

Working fifteen or sixteen hours a day, or even seventeen or eighteen hours, the wages are only enough for the workers to buy bread and go back to feed their families, and the wages are open all year round.

The working environment is extremely harsh. Many workers die of diseases at the age of 25, and they are considered lucky to live to the age of 30. There are statistics on this.

It is precisely because of the long-term misery of the workers that there is a movement of the proletariat all over the world to unite against the capitalists.

The humanistic environment of later generations was obtained through the struggle of the workers themselves, and it was never a charity from the capitalists.

Because capitalists are inseparable from workers, without workers, where there are capitalists.

Visited a circle and left the right guard.

"You are all confidantes of the palace. You should know that the railway engineering team is not only used to build railways, but also an attempt."

Everyone followed Zhu Gaochi closely.

Qiu Fu deliberately walked in front of Zhu Gaochi, using his huge body to shield Zhu Gaochi from the wind.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but smile.

Historically, Qiu Fu was the second brother's core general and the main source of strength to support him as the crown prince.

Now it can be regarded as being drawn over by myself.

"We don't know much about drills, but you are professionals. Do you think that a daily drill will be effective with the level of drills of the railway engineering team?"

"Yes, I have."

Qiu Fu spoke first, without looking back.

"The guards need to cultivate the land, and they don't usually practice it. Only after the busy farming, they will practice it. Even if they enter the camp to serve in the military, they will only practice once every five days, once every ten days."

"The food in the battalion is not comparable to that of the engineering team, and the soldiers cannot withstand daily drills."

Chu Fu's words were correct.

The barracks cost money, but the engineering team earned money.

Even if the military camp can win the battle, it will not bring economic benefits. What is there on the grassland?
Cattle and sheep leave the grassland and need to provide a large amount of forage. This kind of energy conversion is not cost-effective for the agricultural society.

It is not easy to preserve even if it is slaughtered.

The joint author spent countless manpower, material and financial resources, just to grab a batch of cattle and sheep, so that the sergeants can have a few meals of meat?
Only when the agricultural society progresses to the industrial society, not only the land resources, but also the development of various resources in nature, will have the benefits.

However, nomadic civilization launched an attack on agricultural civilization, but it has great benefits.

All the resources of agricultural civilization are needed by nomadic civilization.

Grain, cloth, ironware, salt, soybeans, tea, porcelain, pen and ink, paper that can be preserved directly...

Breaking through a nomadic civilization, the agricultural civilization will get nothing, but will have to pay a lot of resources.

By breaking through an agricultural civilization, the nomadic civilization can achieve considerable development, including the reproduction of the population.

The army of all agricultural civilizations is a gold swallowing beast, the kind that can only enter and cannot enter.

Because Daming occupied all the land that could be cultivated.

With the productivity of agricultural civilization, it is natural that military camps cannot be given too much supplies, so military households were born.

Farm and feed yourself.

Daming then recruited soldiers from military households.

Qiu Fu did not have Zhu Gaochi's insight, and only drew conclusions from daily things, thinking that the drill of the engineering team was better than the model of the guard.

"The engineering team exercises every day. Although the time is short, if you stick to it for a long time, you can form instincts in the military households, and there is enough oil and water. Everyone is an elite."

"What do you think?"

After hearing what Qiu Fu said, Zhu Gaochi asked the others.

"The only shortcoming is that you only practice marching, running and some passwords, but you don't practice formation."

"I don't think so." Zhu Neng denied.

"Military households will be soldiers in the future. They only need to follow the captain. The captain can understand the flag. It is the most suitable for military households to strengthen their basic military literacy."

Several people argued, each with their own reasons.

In an era when the quality of individual soldiers was not high, the requirements for soldiers were not high.

Zhu Gaochi agreed with Zhu Neng's statement.

Not all armies will practice various tactics on a daily basis, sorting out military affairs and going forward, etc., are also the norm for many armies.

With the development of informatization, the army has become more detailed.

"After the new year, the engineering team will face bigger projects and manpower expansion. The few of you must be responsible."

"We can't wait until the start of work, and let the engineering team face the problem of insufficient manpower."

The engineering team has 500 military households and [-] people working on the railway.

According to Zhu Gaochi's plan, from Yanshan Sanwei, 5000 people will continue to be recruited to meet the needs of the first stage.

In the second stage, he will start recruiting military households from the guards in the north, such as the two guards in Miyun.

Turn the guards, which were already close to the palace, into a situation where only the palace is in their eyes, consolidate the basic situation, and then erode the guards in the southern part of Beiping.

Not only that.

Military fields are different from civilian fields. Ordinary military households are fixed in the guards, and even if they have money, they cannot take over military fields.

It has a completely different appearance from the folks, so it will naturally be used for consumption.

There just need to be products that stimulate them to spend.

Such as chemical fertilizers, red-headed rope, flower cloth, better farm tools, briquettes, kerosene lamps, matches, bicycles...

Qiu Fu is the Qianhu of Zhongwei.

Zhang Fu is the eldest son of Zhang Yu, the commander of the left guard.

Chen Gui is the Qianhu of the right guard.

Three people are responsible for recruiting workers from the three guards.

Qiu Fu replied indifferently, he didn't think there was any difficulty, the Yanshan Guard belonged to the prince's family.

Chen Gui also followed suit.

Zhang Fu replied the loudest, unlike his father's caution, he had already approved of the young prince, hoping to improve the relationship between his father and the palace.

"Although the work is suspended, we can't treat the military households working on the railway badly. During the month of the suspension of work, each person will still be given two yuan of subsidy silver in the name of the palace."

Zhu Gaochi explained to Zhu Neng.

"Go back to the factory and contact the accounting office to complete the formalities. I will leave this matter to you and cooperate with Zhu Neng."

Everyone quickly agreed and looked at Zhu Neng enviously.

"Brother-in-law."

Zhu Gaochi shouted suddenly.

Under the sight of the people, Yuan Rong felt embarrassed, it was just that Zhu Gaoxu and the others shouted at random when they were out on a trip.

It was originally a joke behind closed doors, I don't know how the eldest son knew.

"We have some stalls in the south, and the people we send are not qualified enough. Please help me, brother-in-law, and run a few more times for us. I don't know if you have time."

"The little prince opened his mouth, and I will definitely do it next time to satisfy the little prince."

Yuan Rong didn't even ask.

Although he is a descendant of a minister, he is just a concubine. What kind of status can he have? If he is lucky enough to be valued by the young prince, he will definitely not miss this opportunity.

Didn't look at the generals of the Yanshan guards, did they all follow the lead of the young prince?

Yuan Rong's identity is the most suitable.

The lintel of the house is high, and the tiger's skin can be pulled to pull the banner.

The south is different from the north.

Under his banner, Zhang Quan escorted Yang for the chamber of commerce, but after all he was nothing more than a servant. According to the information he received, he was not good enough in front of the yamen of various prefectures.

Was thrown in the face.
