The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 166
"The fourth brother suffers a lot, and you brothers can't ignore it." The old man squatting on the dirt bump said lightly.

When he was too old to squat, the old man got up, and the fourth child stepped forward to help him, but the old man stared at him, and refused to let the fourth child help him, and instead sat on the lump of dirt.

"It must be taken care of, the sons will do what you say, Dad." The second child said quickly.

The third child also nodded, echoing the second brother.

The smile of the second daughter-in-law in the inner room gradually became colder, and she listened carefully to the conversation outside, so did the third daughter-in-law.

"You go to the factory, the third child goes to serve in the army, and the fourth child mainly relies on the farm labor force at home."

"When the farming is busy, I will ask for leave and come back to help."

"When it comes to busy farming months, the guard will release people back, so I'm fine." The third child followed suit.

Whether or not the guards release people depends on the situation, and they will not release all of them.

As for the factory.

No one knows if they can ask for leave.

So what the two of them were talking about was empty talk, and they couldn't hide it from the old man. He said, "The fourth child hasn't married a wife yet. The family's income for the past two years has to be told to the fourth child about his wife."

As soon as the words fell, the second daughter-in-law was unwilling.

Farming can't save money, and the money for marrying a daughter-in-law depends on the wages of your own man, isn't it a disadvantage for yourself.

But I was afraid to say that the fourth child didn't want to be Yu Ding. If he didn't want to be Yu Ding, the third child wouldn't be able to be his man.

That's it.

The second daughter-in-law said in the room: "Helping uncle start a family, father-in-law should not say anything, just use one or two years' wages for uncle's marriage."

The second child ignored the mother-in-law's words and said seriously: "No matter how much expenses the fourth brother needs to marry a daughter-in-law, I, as the elder brother, will bear it all."

After a while.

The sun had already set, and there was only a little red glow left. Every family called their children, and the land fell into silence.

No matter good or bad, big or small, peace was restored under the darkness of night.

The relationship between Zhonghua Heavy Industry, the palace, and the guards has improved to a higher level, and the original close relationship has become stronger.

In particular, the Military Affairs Office organized by the Changshi Mansion was responsible for the employment of China Heavy Industry. Although it deprived China Heavy Industry of its right to recruit workers, it also gave China Heavy Industry a golden body.

In terms of form, it is no longer an ordinary factory. It really combines military households to form a military industrial group.

Correspondingly, China Heavy Industries sent Ma Wangxuan, the clerical office.

"China Heavy Industries is divided into three classes according to the labor needs of each factory, as well as the working environment and work intensity."

"General workers are divided into three levels. The annual income of the first level is ten taels of silver, the annual income of the second level is 15 taels of silver, and the annual income of the third level is 18 taels of silver."

In the conference room of China Heavy Industries, the officials of the Military Affairs Department sat at the conference table on the left, and Ma Wangxuan and others sat on the right.

This seat allocation also shows the obedience status of China Heavy Industry.

"The method submitted by Zhonghua Heavy Industry is good." Jin Zhong praised, "Please introduce the plan of the Military Affairs Department to them."

The official who was named said: "The veterans are mainly ordinary soldiers, but the merits of the soldiers are different, and the number of years of service is also different."

"So for different soldiers, the Military Affairs Office suggested that they give different treatment. The method proposed by China Heavy Industry just solved this problem."

"Ma Wenshu deserves to be from a military family, and his family understands his own family." The official gave a thumbs up.

Ma Wangxuan's posture was very low.

In fact, the eight clerks in the clerk's office, except for the first two, the clerks recruited later are all members of the guard.

If it really compares to status, it is no lower than the officials in front of you.

But the little prince has already set the tone for some things. China Heavy Industry is in a submissive position, not a dominant position.

Therefore, no matter how the future changes, China Heavy Industry will always bow its head.

The first time the two sides negotiated, it was indeed their own family, no matter from the perspective of the royal family or the military household, so they did not embarrass each other.

Either make concessions, or insist, and soon reached an agreement on everything.

"The Military Affairs Department formulated regulations to stipulate the grades of veterans. If there are no exceptions, they will be divided into three grades, corresponding to the third-class workers of China Heavy Industry."

"Those who have military exploits are the first class, those who enter the factory are third-class workers with an annual income of 18 taels of silver, those who have served for ten years and are discharged from the army are the second class, and those who enter the factory are second-class workers with an annual income of 15 taels of silver. Wait, entering the factory is ten taels of silver for a first-class worker."

There was applause in the conference hall.

Soon, the in-depth cooperation plan between the Weisuo and the Wangfu, as well as China Heavy Industry, spread throughout the high-level people in Beiping, and everyone who should know knew about it.

"Wangfu has a huge influence on the guards. Now that this matter has happened, the Wangfu will say the same thing to the guards."

Someone immediately saw the power in it.

"It's the royal family's business to control the guards of Beiping. It's better for me to wait for outsiders to do more than to do less."

"How much money does China Heavy Industry make? Every year, the wages alone cost several 10 taels of silver. Should they pay taxes to the government?"

There was an inappropriate voice.

Officials and generals discussed this matter in private.

Some support it, some oppose it, some don't care, and continue to live their own lives.

"Military households are a major matter for the country, how to move gently, in case something happens, who can afford it, it should not be changed hastily, it should go through the court."

"What has changed? No system has changed." Someone retorted.

"All the guards support this matter, and it should be a good thing to be welcomed by the military households."

……

Zhu Di has been reclusive recently, and his voice in Beiping Province is not peaceful. On the surface, he doesn't care, but in fact he is also afraid.

It is true that this matter has not changed the system, but it is true, and it is not without reason.

The unknown is scary. When you know the future, no matter how difficult things are, they will become less scary.

Zhu Gaochi looked calm, as if he didn't care about the sounds from the outside world.

Zhu Yuanzhang really does not leave his older sons now.

Those famous ministers and generals, no matter whether they should be removed or not, in short, most of them have been removed, and the outside world is not peaceful.

In the past, the founding meritorious service led the army to fight, but in the next few years of war, it will be the vassal king who will lead the army.

This is true both north and south.

Among other things, in the next few years, in the 29th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang will have to rely on Zhu Di to lead his troops to the north to conquer the rebellious Mongolian tribes.

Not only in 29 years, the Western Domain was unstable, and the foreign domain in southern Yunnan was swaying on both sides. Although it currently belongs to the territory of Ming Dynasty, it still left Daming later.

In short, in the external situation, there are many places where troops are needed.

Now that the imperial court has no generals, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't trust him either, because he is old, and no matter what Zhu Di does, he is also his son.

As long as the surname is Zhu, unlike the king of Qin who acted too much and disappointed Zhu Yuanzhang, there will be no problem.

This is Zhu Gaochi's conclusion based on Yao Guangxiao, Jin Zhong, and the history he knows, and he firmly believes it.

"According to this plan, the age of soldiers serving in the army in the future will gradually be controlled at the age of 28."

For soldiers on the front line, 28 is the best age.

If you are too young, you won’t be able to take care of things. If you are older than 28, you will become a soldier.

The first few years are recruits, and the next few years are veterans. Maintaining experienced officers and providing a steady stream of fresh blood is the way to maintain the army for a long time.

Zhu Di understands military affairs and can clearly see the benefits of it.

Even if there is no such plan, the guard will cut down the old, weak, sick and disabled in the guard every year to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.

"But what if there is a shortage of soldiers in a big battle? With the limit of 28 years old, I'm afraid the guards will be short of troops." Zhu Di pointed out the problem.

In the early Ming Dynasty, they were accustomed to fighting with large corps, and when they moved, more than [-] and hundreds of thousands of troops attacked.

In addition to having abundant troops, it was also possible to supply an army of this size because of the economic environment in the early Ming Dynasty.

However, the hundreds of thousands of troops are not all elite soldiers, and not all the guards in Beiping are elite field soldiers.

The Miyun Guard and the Yanshan Three Guards are stronger in combat effectiveness, and then there are the Daning and other guards in the border areas.

"According to the regulations, the retired military household is still Yu Ding, who belongs to the military, and will practice for half an hour every day. If necessary, he can be recruited into the army."

"That is to say, the workers of China Heavy Industries can form an army at any time." Zhu Gaochi laughed.

Compared with the middle and late period of World War I and World War II, which brought ordinary workers to the battlefield, China Heavy Industry's model is more advanced.

China Heavy Industry is a monopoly industry, which can provide superior working environment and treatment, as well as stable and rich wages.

The work intensity of the workers is reduced, the time for drills is reasonably added, and the military organization is naturally preserved.

It is a reserve force beyond any means, and it is actually the same as the guard.

"The guards practice farming warfare, while China Heavy Industry implements industrial warfare. There is not much difference, and it may be stronger than the guards."

Zhu Gaochi said on his own.

The health center concentrates the population on land farming, and the heavy industry concentrates the population on the factory production. The difference between the two is completely incomparable.

Land output is limited, but factory production is unlimited.

Heavy Industry is a monopoly enterprise, so there is no need to worry about overproduction, and it can be adjusted in time, and Zhu Gaochi doesn't think this will happen.

Beiping's industrial development is just so far, and it is not easy to achieve excess production capacity.

"People often have a wrong perception. Now there is a voice that factories replace a large number of workshops, which will cause more people to lose their jobs."

"These people can join the coal mining industry, briquette industry, textile industry, etc. If they can't, they can also become military households." Zhu Gaochi laughed.

"China Heavy Industries orders tens of thousands of sets of work uniforms every year, and it will double next year. This alone can provide as much work as possible."

"But there are still people who are worried that many of the products produced by China Heavy Industry will not be sold."

Hearing this, Zhu Di's face turned black.

The boss was talking about him around the corner, and he had raised his concerns to Yao Guangxiao and Ge Cheng.

"But the economy is not calculated like this. They can only think of exchanging agriculture for industrial commodities, and converting the value of industrial commodities that the people can buy based on the value of grain in the fields, but they have never thought about exchanging industrial commodities for the value created by industrial commodities."

"The economic bulk brought by industry is the exchange of value between cheap industrial goods and cheap industrial goods."
