The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 171 Preparing to Build the Cuju Team

Regarding the promotion of Cuju, Zhu Gaochi was very concerned and planned it himself. Su Guan came to see him and informed the new chief envoy of his arrival in Peiping.

"The lord sent Ge Changshi to greet him with the officials of the Chief Secretary of Peking, as well as the inspector and the capital of Peking."

"What's the character of the new chief envoy?" Zhu Gaochi asked.

Su Guan said: "I can't see it yet, there is no movement at present, and I have visited twice, and it is quite satisfactory."

Su Guan was always curious about the big gift that the little prince said, and couldn't help but ask again.

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, "There is no rush, wait for the new chief minister to light up three fires, see clearly his style of doing things and his attitude towards the palace, and then we will visit the palace in person."

The first contact with the chief envoy cannot be sloppy.

The Prince's House can't do anything to the chief minister, and the chief minister can't do anything to the Palace, so it is the best situation for the two sides to reach a tacit understanding.

Otherwise, if there is a discord between the two sides, even if the chief envoy can't compete with the palace, it will be difficult to accomplish many things in the palace.

"Is there any dissatisfaction with the ban on heavy industry gambling?" Zhu Gaochi asked worriedly about what happened some time ago.

Su Guan said affirmatively, "No."

"The requirements of the ban on gambling are not clear, and there is no fanfare. No one is not open." Su Guan explained.

Anyone who opens a gambling shop and attracts workers from China Heavy Industries will immediately ransack their homes.

How is this implemented?Who knows who is the worker of China Heavy Industry.

Zhu Gaochi did want to strictly enforce the prohibition of gambling, but the name is not right, the main reason is that the boundaries are not easy to control.

The lower level is easy to control, the upper level is hard to control, the upper level cannot be controlled, and it will still extend to the lower level.

Let's talk about it in a few years.

Su Guan saw the regulations written by Zhu Gaochi, and said amusedly: "The little prince is very interested in Cuju."

"This thing is good." Zhu Gaochi didn't object.

"Workers have a lot of spare time, unlike farmers who fall asleep when the sun goes down, they must have something to pass the time."

"Like the gambling turmoil some time ago, the root cause is that the workers have no place to spend their free time. If this matter is not resolved, the gambling trend will recur sooner or later."

"Cuju is a teamwork model, and the workers are military households, belonging to Yu Ding. They practice every day. This thing is beneficial to military households."

"It can also enhance the sense of honor."

"Sense of honor?" Su Guan was baffled. He couldn't eat or drink. Where did he get the sense of honor?

Zhu Gaochi smiled without explaining, not only a sense of honor, but also a sense of belonging.

Around the Cuju site, China Heavy Industries, a wealthy company, also set up kerosene lamp posts to illuminate the site.

"Pass it here."

"Pass him, pass him."

The Cuju field was full of people, attracting many people to watch, and the atmosphere gradually became hotter.

People are already familiar with the rules of Cuju, and are impressed by the new way of playing Cuju. It is originally suitable for collective entertainment, and it has become the place with the largest flow of Chinese heavy workers.

Not only the factory, but also the family members of Dongbeitai Village.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Zhu Gaochi wrote about the promotion plan for the development of Cuju sports, and asked each factory to form a Cuju team. When the documents were issued to each factory, many people immediately signed up.

The director of the railway factory came to the main factory in person and said it was not fair.

Zhu Gaochi was deeply impressed by the director.

"Where's the injustice?" Zhu Gaochi laughed.

Li Qi restrained the tension in his heart and pretended to be calm. The reason why he made the trip himself was because he learned that the young prince attached great importance to Cuju.

First time acquaintance, second time acquaintance, often show up in front of the little prince, are you afraid that he won't get the little prince's attention?

"The coke refinery, the Miyun iron miners, the engineering team has more workers, and the railway engineering team has more people. Which factory can beat them."

It turns out that Zhu Gaochi felt that Li Qi was right.

"Which factories with fewer workers will be merged to form a Cuju team?" Zhu Gaochi asked back.

Li Qi said with a smile: "This is not good, it is not easy to increase the sense of honor."

Zhu Gaochi looked at him with admiration.

This person has indeed worked hard and understands the purpose of establishing a Cuju team.

"Subordinates suggest that if the railway engineering team has several districts, then build Cuju teams separately. This will not only increase the number of Cuju teams, but also maintain the balance of the strength of each factory's Cuju teams. Wouldn't it be more interesting? .”

Zhu Gaochi agreed, "Well, you are in charge of organizing the Cuju team guild and specially arranging for each team's competition."

"We can also issue prizes, how much is rewarded for No.1, how much is rewarded for No.2, etc. You can make a detailed charter later."

Li Qi was overjoyed, with this name, he was closer to the little prince.

It turned out that Wang Ren, who was in charge of the outer cabinet, had ascended to the top of the factory management circle through the briquette chamber of commerce.

Sports are also the source of power to drive the economy. It is a profitable business to promote the sports industry in Beiping with China Heavy Industry as the mainstay.

Zhu Gaochi really hoped that the energetic factory director in front of him could really develop the Cuju team, which would be a test for him.

It didn't take long for Li Qi to set the rules.

"Each factory should organize a Cuju team, and encourage Cuju enthusiasts to sign up to participate, so that they can spare their vacation and off-duty time, and the factory will give a total of half a day to a day to provide Cuju team members with Cuju training and improve their kicking ability."

"Steam engine factory, railway track factory, etc., if the number of workers is less than 500, a Cuju team will be established, with 15 people in each team, and three backups."

"Because the number of workers in the railway engineering team is 1, it is recommended to set up three Cuju teams, and the rest of the workers are also encouraged to form themselves."

……

"A match every three months, a semi-final every six months and a final every year."

“No.1奖励50两银，No.2奖励40两，No.3奖励30两，No.4奖励20两，第五到十名各奖励十两。”

"All factories prepare as soon as possible, and the first competition will be held in three months."

……

Zhu Gaochi arrived in front of the chief secretary's office in a carriage, and Su Guan and a group of officials came out to greet him in person.

After entering the public house, Yan Dun, the new chief minister, was wearing an official uniform, and stood at the door calmly, showing a gentle smile.

"Fantai." Zhu Gaochi took the initiative to cup his hands and stepped forward.

Yan Dun smiled brighter and brighter.

The man in the flower sedan chair carried people, and the palace gave him face, so he would not be ignorant, and if he swept other people's face, his own face would be lost sooner or later.

Yan Dun stepped forward and took Zhu Gaochi's arm, and said enthusiastically: "The eldest son is famous all over the world, and everyone in Beiping praises it. Today's meeting is the only way to live up to his reputation."

The good atmosphere made the rest of the officials breathe a sigh of relief.

After exchanging greetings outside the door, Yan Dun stretched out his hand and said, "Please, sir."

Zhu Gaochi's attitude was very firm, "The Fantai please first."

When we met for the first time today, his attitude was very sincere. Seeing that the eldest son was sincere, Yan Dun walked in with a smile, followed by Zhu Gaochi.

The officials served the tea in person, and Zhu Gaochi nodded in thanks.

"Since Fantai took office, we have not come to visit Fantai. Today, we want to give Fantai a gift. I hope Fantai will not be disgusted."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Yan Dun smiled and acted sloppily, without a word of agreement.

"China Heavy Industry is the property of the Wangfu. It has not paid taxes so far. Although it is a military household, the chief secretary and the Wangfu are one family and should not be divided between you and me."

Yan Dun got serious. Although he took office not long ago, the reputation of China Heavy Industry was almost dead.

However, he did not believe that the palace would pay taxes to the government.

It's not that he suspects that the palace is reluctant to give up money, but that it seems too humble, as if the palace is weaker than the chief secretary.

Zhu Gaochi did not intend to pay the money.

"Official documents can be transmitted between the various government offices in Beiping Prefecture, and all official affairs can be passed through the railway, free of charge."

"It can not only reduce the suffering of the common people, but also save the energy of the government, and finally improve the efficiency."

"Railway." Yan Dun thought about it.

He didn't know about the railways in the various prefectures of Beiping in Yingtian Mansion, but when he entered the boundary of Beiping Mansion, he soon learned about it.

I don't have any impression of this thing, and I just took office, I'm busy with things and I don't have a clue, so I don't have time to find out.

It's just that I heard that it is a road that can drive fast, but I only heard it but didn't see it. After all, I didn't have too many fluctuations in my heart.

He would not feel that the gift from the eldest son is not heavy, it can be said that it has lightened the load on the post station, which is indeed beneficial to the government.

"But if this continues, won't it add to the burden of the eldest son?" Yan Dun asked with concern.

"We also have selfish intentions."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

"Hahaha." Hearing this, Yan Dun felt relieved.

Zhu Gaochi explained: "The railway is not very useful, but it can increase the carrying capacity of the carriage. With the same carrying capacity, the carriage on the railway runs faster."

"However, people are not familiar with this thing, and it is difficult to adapt to new things. If the government uses railways, it will speed up the spread of railways, shorten the time for people to accept this thing, and ultimately bring considerable benefits to railways."

"For official document delivery from the government, you only need to provide inspection and cooperation, and you can take a horse-drawn carriage at the railway station to reach the destination."

"Of course, if there is no railway, officials still need to go to the post station." Zhu Gaochi explained carefully.

The use of the station requires reconnaissance.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Kanhe was not indiscriminately used, but in the middle of Ming Dynasty, Kanhe began to be abused, and officials used it as a favor for others.

Scholars, businessmen, landlords, family members of officials, etc., can use post stations when traveling, which is illegal in the system.

This move made the station overwhelmed, and also made the local people who went to serve in the station miserable. It consumed a lot of financial and material resources, and also exhausted the people's strength, which became a great disaster.

Zhu Gaochi calculated that with the current usage of government survey and cooperation, there is actually not much loss to his interests.

Because the horse-drawn carriages on the railway line often have a lot of empty seats, which is a waste, and it is better to be a favor.

Chief envoys need to be assessed. According to various matters, they are divided into major and minor tests, and the results of the assessment determine the future of officials.

In the future, whether to be promoted or transferred, or even demoted, will be reviewed by the Ministry of Officials according to the assessment and evaluation, so as to determine the subsequent transfer of officials.

So this kind of favor is really not small, it lightens the people's power and the burden of the station, at least it helps Yan Dun's three-year major exam.
