The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 139
At the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, the population of the United States just exceeded 80 million, and the number of railway workers was [-] million, accounting for [-]% of the population, and [-] miles of railways were built.

The registered population of Beiping Prefecture is more than 260 million, and Zhu Gaochi plans to allocate 12 railway workers, accounting for [-]% of the population.

We will definitely not learn from the American method and the history of blood and tears in building railways, because the United States is dominated by capital and must pursue the highest interests.

And Zhu Gaochi's situation of allocating resources brings benefits of 20.00% of the urban population.

Adding factories and all walks of life, this social distribution can make Beiping's urban population exceed 40.00%.

In theory, but in practice there will definitely be changes, and it may even only reach 30.00%.

But even if it is only 30.00%, the volume it brings is a huge force.

Moreover, the distance from Dongming County to Nanjing is more than [-] miles. Whether it is offensive or defensive, Beiping can take the initiative.

Yan Wangfu.

Qianhu Qiufu came here on horseback, and after searching around, there was no free horse post, so he had to share a horse post with others.

After handing over the waist badge to the concierge of the Wangfu, someone patted his shoulder from behind. His face was not happy, and when he turned around, he found that it was Chen Gui.

Chen Gui's qualifications were no less than his, and he said with a smile, "It just so happens."

"What a coincidence, let's go in."

Chen Gui walked in front, and Qiu Fu followed behind.

The little yellow gate led the two of them to Shizi's Mansion, passing through the Langfang loft, and entering the living room, they found Zhu Neng and others were there.

Qiu Fu and Chen Gui had the highest qualifications and official positions, and everyone stood up to greet them.

Chen Gui's ancestral home is from Jiangsu, and his voice has a Jiangsu accent, which sounds a bit refined, but Qiu Fu is careless.

"The eldest son is here."

"Clatter." Thousands of households got up one after another.

Zhu Gaochi walked in with a smile on his face.

"Little lord."

"Little lord."

……

People bowed their hands and saluted, Zhu Gaochi nodded in the aisle, went straight to sit on the main seat, and the rest followed suit.

Zhu Gaochi glanced.

The middle guard is Qianhu Qiu Fu, the right guard is Qianhu Chen Gui, the left guard is Commander Sheren Zhang Fu, deputy Qianhu Zhu Neng, Tan Yuan, Baihu Wang Cong, etc.

As well as Xu Ning of the railway engineering team, and several stewards.

The two parties have cooperated for half a year, and they have a tacit understanding with each other. There are some things that Zhu Gaochi doesn't need to worry about.

"Because the railway construction this time is on a large scale, unlike last year's concentration in Beiping, it will be scattered over thousands of miles, so you all have to be prepared."

After Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, he gestured to Xu Ning.

Xu Ning and the stewards hung up a map in the living room of Shizi Mansion, which marked several construction points.

"You don't need to talk about the rules, just gather around and have a look." Zhu Gaochi ordered.

When the military officers heard the words, they rushed over curiously.

There are quite a few military officers in the three guards, and Zhu Gaochi's names are all famous talents. The military officers present are all among the heroes of Jing Nan.

Not only have good luck, but also have outstanding military exploits, proving their talents.

In the future, Zhu Di may find out that the generals under him are all from the railway engineering team. I don't know how he will feel.

on the map.

Divided into six construction points.

From Miyun to Zhuozhou, Xincheng to Qingdu, Dingxian to Lincheng, Shunde Mansion, Guangping Mansion and Daming Mansion combined into one, from Tangshan to Dongming County.

The last one is from Suning to Cangzhou in Hejian Prefecture. It is built from east to west and connects the north-south trunk line.

The main line is [-] miles long, and the branch lines are [-] miles long.

"We appointed Zhu Neng as the chief military officer of the railway engineering team. Do you have any opinions?" Zhu Gaochi laughed.

Qiu Fu and Chen Gui looked at each other subconsciously, and quickly looked away.

Although it's been less than a year since he came into contact with the young prince, his prestige is growing day by day, and no one dares to despise him.

"Only the little prince's order."

The crowd shook hands.

"In the early stage, 1 railway workers will join, [-] will join after one month, and [-] will join in the mid-term. A total of [-] people will be used."

"The outer cabinet plan, based on the size of the land, is estimated to recruit 4000 private households to join the railway engineering team. Including the original railway private household workers, the entire railway engineering team will have about [-] people."

"The monthly expenses for food, wages, work clothes, etc. are about 2 taels of silver."

"It costs 24 taels of silver a year, and the use of so much labor is not only to build a good railway, but also to train a group of elite military households."

"There will be a big contest in three months. It's the mules or the horses that come out for a walk. If anyone loses someone, don't blame others."

Zhu Gaochi put away his smile, showing a rare seriousness on his face.

Everyone's hearts sank, and no one could laugh anymore.

They know each other well, and they all know how many more brushes they have. That Zhu Neng can be valued by the little prince, and everyone has inquired about his origin.

He is a capable person, not to mention Qiu Fu and Chen Gui, they are veterans on the battlefield. In short, no one has the confidence to overwhelm their colleagues present.

Seeing that no one responded, Zhu Gaochi frowned and shouted, "Are you confident?"

"Have!"

All the military officers responded in unison.

24 taels of silver can be said to have emptied Zhu Gaochi, and he couldn't get out so much silver for a while.

If the profits of the factories and plans this year fail to meet expectations, Zhu Gaochi will still fall into economic difficulties.

If it gets to this point, he will be forced to let go of the shares in the factory and absorb the principal from the private sector.

Every factory of China Heavy Industry is making money, and each of them is making money without losing money, and the prospects are huge, so Zhu Gaochi is not afraid of running out of money.

But letting go of the share capital is a loss-making business for him.

Who would be so stupid to let go of a monopoly business and go to partner with others.

But who told him that he only has a few years to do? This year, if he has trained [-] military households, he can double that number next year.

next door.

Yuan Rong's eyes were full of disbelief when he heard the movement.

Although he knew that the eldest son had power in the palace, this power was already too much. Which vassal king's eldest son could mobilize the guards so easily like the eldest son.

The eldest son's rights in Beiping exceeded Yuan Rong's expectations, and once again opened his eyes, he felt that he was a frog at the bottom of a well.

"Da da da."

Hearing the familiar footsteps, Yuan Rong stood up ahead of time and went up to greet him, and it was indeed the eldest son who appeared at the door.

Zhu Gaochi was startled when he saw Yuan Rong at the door, but soon understood again, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Brother-in-law, I kept you waiting."

The aura is a personal feeling, it does not exist, only the power of the other party is felt, and the power overwhelms others, which brings pressure.

Yuan Rong couldn't help but slightly bent down, not daring to call himself the eldest son and brother-in-law.

Zhu Gaochi didn't care.

Yuan Rong's performance is normal.

Over the past year, Zhu Gaochi has become accustomed to the gap brought about by power, from being cautious to being careless.

"Drink tea."

Zhu Gaochi and Yuan Rong sat down, and Yuan Rong picked up the teacup, feeling as if the eldest son was waiting for someone.

"There should be no local resistance, but in order to ensure the smooth progress of the project, I still need the help of my brother-in-law to escort."

Yuan Rong put down his teacup and said seriously, "Eldest son can call me Yuan Rong, don't call me brother-in-law, lest outsiders will misunderstand."

Even if the eldest son called himself brother, Yuan Rong didn't dare to accept it. He would rather the eldest son call him by his first name, and he would feel at ease.

"As long as the eldest son has a life, he will go all out."

Zhu Gaochi understood.

The title brother-in-law is a joke, it doesn't matter if you talk about it in private, it is indeed inappropriate to call it in public, after all, you haven't married your elder sister yet.

"Wait until the chief secretary of Beiping, according to the inspection department, some officials will come. Although the rank is not high, but now in Beiping, all the senior officials above the third rank have been transferred. They are powerful officials, but they are more effective."

"You get in touch with them and get to know each other. If you have any troubles in the future, you can negotiate and resolve them."

While talking, the eunuch's voice came from outside, saying that several officials came to see the eldest son.

"Invite them in."

Zhu Gaochi got up, and went to the door with Yuan Rong to greet him.

Su Guan is all about things, Shen Zhanzhi cares about them, Jiang Cheng Wangli asks, Jiang Yande is in charge of the prison...

The top leaders of the administrative department, professional department, inspection department, judicial department, prison department and other departments have come.

If a month ago, Zhu Gaochi would not have this face.

It's not that everyone doesn't see the palace, or that they dare to offend the palace, but that they have to worry about their superiors, at least they won't obey the palace's orders in everything.

An hour later.

Everyone was silent at the gate of the palace.

"That's true." An official sighed halfway, thinking of Su Guan beside him, who was a hard-core member of the palace, so he kept silent.

As usual, Su Guan was neither good at talking nor taciturn, bid farewell to all his colleagues, and left in his own sedan chair.

It took two generations of hard work and planning by the members of the third department, and with the support of the crown prince's family, to get back the rights from the palace, and returned to the palace in only one month.

It is not known who the third generation of officials will be.

Will it take another two generations to repeat this cycle?

But these officials can't afford to wait, their generation is already destined to take refuge in the palace, and after a few years, or more than ten years, they don't know where they will be transferred.

At that time, even if the third division has regained its rights, it has nothing to do with them. As for the latecomers, they can figure out their own solutions.

soon.

The Chief Secretary of Beiping asked all prefectures and counties to cooperate with the railway engineering team, and the following were accompanied by various ministries and departments.

Nakato Heavy Industries dispatched a large number of stewards from the outer cabinets and went to various places to negotiate land occupation.

This time is different from last year's petty fights in Peking.

There was a lot of noise.

It is necessary to avoid the use of force, but also to control compensation, so that the people in the occupied land can obtain reasonable compensation.

This rationality is naturally the rule of the palace.

For the people in each occupied land, the factory can recruit a worker, and the wages are one tael of silver per month.

The factory recruits foreign workers, and the wages of ordinary workers are one tael a month.

Doesn't seem like an advantage.

However, the factory's recruitment label has been raised a long time ago. Unless they are military households, ordinary people without craftsmanship, illiterate and unable to settle accounts cannot enter the factory.

But there will always be people who are unwilling to accept it, because there are many people facing it.
