The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 168
Zhu Gaochi understood Zhu Di's inquiry very well.

This is the confusion about the birth of an agricultural society on the eve of entering industry, which was very common in the 80s, and many scholars, including many, also raised various concerns.

In particular, Western scholars, or overseas returnees, are skeptical of the Chinese model based on Western economic theories.

This model has been proven successful for 30 years.

But whether the future generations can maintain it and continue to innovate, just like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat, that is the responsibility of the current generation.

Zhu Gaochi himself was not worried at all.

Because of this model, he could eat at least for a lifetime in the environment of the early Ming Dynasty.

The conversation with Zhu Di this time can also be regarded as the last confrontation between the father and son, and it came to an end in a tacit understanding.

No one mentioned what happened last time, but the attitudes of both parties have already satisfied each other.

Zhu Di was satisfied with the knowledge and means of the eldest son, while Zhu Gaochi was satisfied with Zhu Di's support for him, and did not really suppress him because of his efforts.

Without Zhu Di's support, he can't do anything.

After solving the problem of deep integration of factory recruitment and military households, Zhu Gaochi became concerned about the new work uniform.

"The new work uniform should have been put on the agenda three months ago. First, there are many things that need to be arranged in advance. Second, everything is so busy that it has been delayed for a long time."

"China Heavy Industry implements the policy of streamlining its troops and simplifying its administration. It is normal for one person to hold several positions. Even if they are given more power, they must take the initiative to do things."

Zhu Gaochi lost his temper at Zhou Shifeng, Ma Wangxuan and others.

Several people did not dare to breathe, and bowed their heads to be criticized.

"Healing the head for a headache and treating the foot for a sore foot is not a good thing. It's a quack doctor. Everyone of you must understand this truth."

"Summer is almost over, and the factory uniforms are still thick clothes from last year. If the workers don't wear them, you will turn a blind eye."

Ma Wangxuan honestly admitted his mistake, and said proactively, "We were negligent about the work uniform, and we must correct it next time."

"We don't accept this statement." Zhu Gaochi sneered.

As a monopoly giant, deeply integrated with the guard, employing 2 workers, it will be a big company in future generations.

In Daming, it is even a giant.

Farmers near towns in the south of the Yangtze River did not engage in farming, but instead took advantage of the benefits of silk and silk, which gradually became a fashion. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, thousands of workers were employed in private machine rooms in Suzhou's silk weaving industry alone.

But in terms of influence, it cannot be compared with China Heavy Industry, not to mention that in the early Ming Dynasty, all walks of life are still in the recovery stage.

If it only stays at the original level, it will waste the power that China Heavy Industry can exert. In order to fully tap the potential of China Heavy Industry, the senior management of China Heavy Industry needs a group of high-quality talents.

"The factory clearly stipulates that workers' work uniforms must be guaranteed, and workers must wear work uniforms during work."

"Since we entered the factory, no one has worn overalls, why?" Zhu Gaochi knocked on the table.

Everyone dared not answer, complaining in their hearts.

"Ma Wangxuan's explanation is what many of you have in mind. I'm sure there are some of you who will complain and feel that you have been wronged."

Work uniforms are of great significance. When workers get used to work uniforms, and the excellent work uniforms provided by China Heavy Industry can be liked by workers.

Walking on the streets in overalls, the workers are proud.

In return, the workers have a sense of belonging to China Heavy Industry, which can improve the honor of the workers.

Finally, the factory became the home.

Of course, things are not so simple to achieve, but work clothes are also a part of it.

Workers fight for their homes, workers will take up arms to defend the factory.

This force can crush everything, making the great powers who have colonized the world for hundreds of years and accumulated rich heritage tremble in front of emerging countries.

It's a pity that I voluntarily gave up this power, embarked on the hegemonic route, and self-destructed the Great Wall.

And Zhu Gaochi believes that in the social environment in the early Ming Dynasty, with the humanities of China Heavy Industry, there is no doubt that this can be achieved.

Ma Wangxuan was named twice, so he could only bite the bullet and explain.

"The production cost of work uniforms is high. If you change to new clothes, two sets per person, the required work clothes will reach 9000 pieces. In addition to the next stage of large-scale recruitment, the estimated expenditure will be between [-] and [-] taels. In order not to affect the profit of the factory , so if the little prince doesn’t mention it, I will ignore it.”

"Explaining and explaining are just because I am afraid that my performance will be affected, and it is because I don't care about the workers." Zhu Gaochi pointed out the key point.

"If you care about the workers, you don't dare to delay the matter of work clothes."

Zhu Gaochi became more and more angry as he spoke.

In his opinion, this matter is not light at all.

It has the same nature as the government not doing things, that is, there has not been any abuse of the number, but it is not far away if it continues like this.

For example, the grandfather of Emperor Wanli used inferior cotton to make military uniforms for border troops.

If you don't pay attention to workers, it's no different from Emperor Wanli's grandfather who didn't care about soldiers, it's all for your own benefit.

The shopkeepers subconsciously avoided making new work clothes for their own achievements. The grandfather of Emperor Wanli, for his own benefit, made inferior military uniforms.

If this trend is not stopped, within a few years, the current corporate culture of China Heavy Industry will also be reduced to this point.

Because as China Heavy Industry's status is getting higher and higher, the management that was originally low in status and the same as the white body can easily be corrupted by power.

"We made a mistake, we will definitely learn from it, and dare not do it again next time." It was the first time Zhou Shifeng saw the young prince so angry, and he was too frightened to avoid it.

Everyone did not expect that the young prince would be furious. If they knew, they would not dare to delay, and they all regretted it.

Anyone can make excuses for this matter, it's not their job.

And Zhu Gaochi believes that with the expansion speed of China Heavy Industry and the initial stage, too detailed division of rights is not only not a good thing, but will hinder development.

Then it is necessary for the management to be brave and not shirk their responsibilities. As long as there is one person who cares about work clothes, what happened today will not happen.

"In the future, it's not just that this incident is not allowed to happen, but this kind of ethos is not allowed to be born. Anyone who is lazy will slip to the bottom and go back to work as a worker, go to the workshop to undergo transformation, and let those who are brave enough to do things come up. "

Everyone promised.

The little prince was angry because of the work clothes, who would dare to neglect it, the matter of the work clothes immediately became the top priority.

Soon, more than a dozen small shopkeepers ran back and forth in the workshop that made work clothes for the factory, sweating profusely.

It must be beautiful, simple and elegant, but also low in cost. The main reason is that the time is short, which makes these workshop owners very tired.

The template for summer overalls was finalized.

The scarf, white jacket, black trousers, black cloth shoes, and half socks are neat and refreshing after wearing.

The towel is a hat worn by men in the Ming Dynasty, and it is a Tang towel and Han towel style.

The short jacket is short-sleeved, and the single trousers are single-layer trousers. In the book "Awakening Marriage", the single trousers worn by people in the Ming Dynasty are the same as the trousers of later generations.

Ordinary people mostly wear straw sandals woven by themselves, as well as cloth shoes made by themselves, and black cloth shoes custom-made by the factory, both in materials and workmanship, are finer than those made at home.

Each worker has two sets, and female workers have an extra pair of half socks, that is, socks, which have existed since ancient times. Most of the styles are bottomless high tubes, and the top reaches the knee.

This kind of high socks was only affordable for aristocratic women in the West, but ordinary rich farmers in the Ming Dynasty had them, which is a manifestation of the difference in productivity.

Of course, there are also shortcomings. The ancient Confucian culture is gradually distorted, and the society's suppression of women has gradually reached its peak, and footbinding has become a trend.

Half socks were used among women with bound feet.

The factory-customized half socks, with low sleeves and bottoms, reach to the ankles, allowing female workers to retain their beauty without being overly conservative.

In the workshop environment of the factory and the construction environment of the engineering team, work uniforms are not only aesthetically pleasing to wear, but mainly to make people comfortable and convenient to work, and they quickly gained popularity.

Beiping is different from Yingtianfu.

Yingtianfu's economy is developed, and there are a few clothing stores on the street, while the streets of Beiping are mainly made-to-order, or citizens buy cloth and sew it at home.

If they are rural people, many of them use their own hemp flour to spin coarse cloth to make coarse clothes and coarse cloth, that is, they are self-sufficient.

However, the latter mode of production will be eliminated by the common people as the price of clothes decreases and the division of labor in society becomes more detailed.

Faced with the long-term orders from China Heavy Industry, several original shops in Beiping expanded their production.

At least two or three households were hired, and as many as seven or eight households, or even a dozen households, and the small workshop model began to emerge.

Those who make hats, those who make clothes, those who make shoes.

Someone in charge of the outer cabinet submitted a report to build a garment factory, but Zhu Gaochi rejected the proposal.

After Zhu Di learned about it, he called Zhu Gaochi.

During this period of time, Zhu Di often thought about the industrial theory taught by his eldest son, and gained some understanding. He just accepted centralized production, but he heard that his eldest son vetoed the matter again, and he became suspicious.

"Isn't centralized production in the textile industry a good thing? It can boost productivity. Why do you refuse?" Zhu Di wondered.

"The father is not ashamed to ask his subordinates, which makes the son extremely admired."

"Speak well." Zhu Di glared.

Zhu Gaochi put away his smile and stopped teasing Zhu Di.

The Chinese model is not nonsense. It breaks the economic theory of the 21st century. It seems to be a barbaric growth, but it is actually logical.

Rural enterprises are complementary to the road to industrialization.

It is generally considered by the outside world to be nothing more than a country-specific distortion product, which is artificially promoted and is a phenomenon that violates economic theory.

From a historical perspective, the rural enterprises of the Chinese model are in the same line as the wave of primitive industrialization in the UK, and have the same meaning, mechanism and law.

"These small workshops of part-time workers and part-farmers make up for the places that cannot be taken care of on the eve of industrialization, and provide support for the transformation of full-time workers and large-scale factory production."

"Factories produce people who get rich first, and those who get rich first create the market, and these small workshops absorb the surplus population in the countryside, which indirectly promotes the market."

"Simply put, equal work does not pay."

"Although they are all workers, the workers of China Heavy Industry are in the sky, and the workers of small workshops are in the quagmire."

Zhu Di frowned, what the boss said made him uncomfortable.
