The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 187 Productivity and Production Relations
Zhu Gaochi will return to Shizi Mansion in the afternoon to sit in town. He doesn't have much time in China Heavy Industry, and he is here for the first time in half a month.

After all, there are some things that require him to come to the headquarters.

"The number of workers exceeds [-], and there are so many factories. Things are too complicated." Zhou Shifeng sighed.

From the original small shopkeeper of the steam engine factory to the big shopkeeper of China Heavy Industry, not only is it unique in Beiping, but it is also a new test for him.

Zhu Gaochi understood Zhou Shifeng's embarrassment. The group of later generations has a complete structure and a mature model.

A sound organizational division of labor provides support for upper-level management.

And Zhonghua Heavy Industry is a new thing in Daming.

In short, it all depends on the individual's ability, fighting alone, and has not formed a style model for self-improvement.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Shifeng could not come up with effective suggestions, so he kept silent and seemed very discouraged.

Zhu Gaochi didn't think it was Zhou Shifeng's inability.

If Zhou Shifeng really solves this problem, Zhu Gaochi will doubt Zhou Shifeng's origin instead.

in later generations.

The group structure is divided into conservative type, risk type, and analytical type. The corporate environment we face is conservative and stable, complex and changeable, and comprehensive.

The conservative type emphasizes stability, discipline, and order, the risky type emphasizes flexibility, rapid change, and the analytical type emphasizes vertical and horizontal balance, requiring a lot of communication and coordination.

The risky Zhu Gaochi will not use it and is not suitable for China Heavy Industry.

The analytical type has high requirements for people and needs a large number of excellent talents with excellent communication and coordination skills for later generations.

China Heavy Industry has a lot of talents, but due to the limitation of vision, it cannot meet this requirement.

So keep it conservative.

The advantage of the conservative architecture is that it has a long life cycle, which can form economies of scale, improve products and set standards.

However, China Heavy Industry has no external competitors and is a monopoly oligarch, which is indeed suitable for the conservative type.

The conservative strategic goal is to expand product market share, improve efficiency and reduce costs, which is also in line with China Heavy Industry's goal.

As for the risky goals, developing the market and upgrading technology are not the most urgent of China Heavy Industry.

The best one is naturally the analytical type, which constantly develops new products and markets while maintaining the existing market.

But China Heavy Industry can't provide a large number of professional talents it needs.

"Let's build the headquarters." Zhu Gaochi proposed a solution.

Zhou Shifeng showed a curious look.

"Establish headquarters, strictly manage finances, maintain relationships, be responsible for strategies, and formulate policies." Zhu Gaochi laughed.

The conservative organizational structure of the enterprise group has the least requirements on the headquarters, followed by the risk-oriented organizational structure, which has high requirements on the headquarters, and finally the analytical organizational structure, which has the highest requirements on the headquarters.

"The headquarters manages the functional departments, and the functional departments manage the business departments, building a three-level model." Zhu Gaochi carefully introduced to Zhou Shifeng.

Zhou Shifeng quickly opened his notebook and picked up a pen to record. Zhu Gaochi took the initiative to push the inkstone over for Zhou Shifeng's convenience.

Finally, it took half an hour to finish talking with Zhou Shifeng about this matter.

"The organizational structure is not a one-day job. You can negotiate more with the finance department and the factory director of the big factory, and play the role of the research department to provide you with help."

Zhou Shifeng nodded repeatedly.

Although there are still many unknowns, but there is already a direction, so I won't be confused and unable to start.

"Will military households still be the main recruits next spring?" Zhou Shifeng asked the last thing.

The recruitment of military households is no longer as simple as it was in the beginning.

From the poor households of the military households to the direct recruitment of the Beiping Health Center, if we continue to recruit workers next year, I am afraid that there will be some troubles.

"There are nearly 23 military households in the 13 guards of Beiping. Excluding Zhengding and Yuding, it should be able to provide 13 workers."

"However, considering that farmland also needs strong labor, tens of thousands of people can still provide it, so next year's recruitment will still be dominated by military households."

Zhu Gaochi said firmly.

According to the views of agricultural history experts of later generations, during the Warring States period, the farming capacity of a labor force was 11.9 mu.

It is similar to the saying in "Huainanzi" that you can only cultivate ten acres by stepping on Lei Lei.

According to the book "Bu Nong Shu" written by Mr. Yang Yuan, who lived in seclusion in his hometown after the death of the Ming Dynasty, taught Neo Confucianism and also engaged in agriculture, it is said that "one farmer can only manage ten acres. "

Combining many records and modern farming conditions, it can be concluded that a man in his prime can plant paddy fields at most ten mu to twelve mu of land a year.

The average yield per mu of paddy fields in the north is two stones a year. In a year with good weather, the annual output is twenty stones.

Zheng Ding and Yu Ding of military households, together with women and children, old and weak, can cultivate at least [-] mu of land a year.

Therefore, the best situation is a family of nine, with three generations of old, middle and young, with [-] acres of land, minus taxes, taxes, etc., as well as family rations and grain seeds, and can get more than ten taels of silver.

More than a dozen taels of silver are used to buy chaibu oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar tea, and other farm tools, pots and pans, etc., to enter the well-off level.

But this is the ideal level, maintaining agricultural mutual aid, and the most cost-effective agricultural model.

Zhu Yuanzhang's decree stipulated that farmers with five to ten mu of land must plant half an mu of mulberry, cotton, and hemp each, and those with more than ten mu of land should double the planting.

In the north, [-] mu per household is the majority of the situation, which is on the food and clothing line and below the well-off level.

Fifteen acres of labor, plus cattle, only need a husband and wife to work together, and can enter a well-off level.

If there are two brothers, each starting a family, plus the elderly, there will be three families in one family, and the food and clothing will be maintained on the line.

So what Zhu Gaochi has to do is to take out one of the households and invest in industry, exchanging industrial products for food.

The economic level has been improved, allowing three families in one family to enter a well-off level at the same time.

But traditional agriculture faces the yellow land and the sky, even if it is the same income, the workers are the envy of the farmers.

Moreover, the income of workers is already much higher than that of farmers, and they can be exchanged for more industrial commodities, thus widening the distance.

This requires cultivating the market.

It takes a hundred years to complete the market only to develop productivity, but it only takes one generation to learn from the social division of labor and optimize production relations while developing productivity.

Zhu Gaochi came to a conclusion and emphasized to Zhou Shifeng: "There are 13 military households in Beiping, which can provide 13 workers. The goal of China Heavy Industry is these 13 people."

"As for private households, they are absorbed by supplementary economic organizations, such as coal mining areas, briquette workshops, and garment workshops."

The distribution of production relations in this way is not because Zhu Gaochi doesn't care about the people, nor is it entirely the reason for the Jingnan Campaign.

Military households are suffering.

It is also important to fight, and even ordinary people despise the environment of military households, and are unwilling to marry their daughters to military households, for fear that their family will be implicated and transferred to military status.

Therefore, in the current allocation, Zhu Gaochi must give priority to military households.

"The three-level relationship of the organizational structure mentioned above, China Heavy Industry also adopts a three-level model for employment issues."

"China Heavy Industries recruits workers from military households, increases the wealth of military households and military households, and attracts civilian households to join military households, thereby improving the social status of military households, which is higher than the average."

Hearing this, Zhou Shifeng understood Zhu Gaochi's meaning and stopped asking questions.

Zhu Gaochi didn't say anything later.

When China Heavy Industry has absorbed 13 workers, it means that the industrial model of Beiping has been completed, and the next step is only the advancement of technology and the outward radiation.

When Zhou Shifeng left the office, the clerk in the study room went to the waiting room to call Zhang Fu and Ma Lin, and the two followed the clerk into the office.

While they were waiting, a few more people entered the waiting room.

After listening to the document, Zhu Gaochi gave up his plan to return to Shizi Mansion in the afternoon. The affairs of China Heavy Industry cannot be easily settled.

Be patient and listen to the two people's affairs in Daning, and there is a key person among them.

"Liu Zhen."

Zhu Gaochi murmured.

The name is somewhat familiar, but I can't remember it all at once.

Feeling a little numb after sitting for a long time, Zhu Gaochi stood up and swung his arms to activate his blood vessels.

Seeing this, Zhang Fu and Ma Lin quickly stood up.

"Sit down, this is our habit, it has nothing to do with you." Zhu Gaochi waved his hand.

The two hesitated for a moment, then sat back down again, their bodies stiff, their expressions tense and serious, as if they were facing some major event.

Zhu Gaochi walked around twice and remembered who Liu Zhen was.

This person's attitude is inclined to the court, but he dare not face Zhu Di directly. It's not that this person can't fight, but his political attitude is not firm, so Zhu Di was given a chance to defeat him.

Thinking of Liu Zhen, Zhu Gaochi thought of another thing.

"Have you seen the commander of Daning Du Wan, Bu Wan?" Zhu Gaochi returned to his seat and sat down, and asked the two people across the desk.

Zhang Fu shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it, but I heard from Ge Changshi that he met him once when he was in Daning, and he didn't refuse to cooperate."

"It's a bit strange." Zhu Gaochi wondered.

According to historical performance, this talent is the most steadfast court loyalist, and Chen Heng was later controlled by others.

Later, it was Zhu Di who tricked people into thinking that Bu Wan belonged to him, and the officials of Daning imprisoned him, allowing Chen Heng to control the guards smoothly, and finally cooperated with Zhu Di to control Daning.

Unable to figure it out, Zhu Gaochi pressed the matter first and asked, "What do you think should be done?"

Zhang Fu had already thought about how to deal with it, and suggested: "You can start with other guards first, and skip Liu Zhen for the time being."

"The military household economic cooperative is beneficial to the guards and increases the income of the military households. When it comes time to harvest, it is Liu Zhen who should be anxious."

"Other guards have benefited. Only his place maintains the status quo, and the people under the guard will be dissatisfied with him."

"In the face of this kind of pressure, he couldn't help but bow his head."

If the people below are not convinced, their rights will be emptied. Sometimes the pressure from below is more effective than the pressure from above.

"Yes, I will do as you said." Zhu Gaochi agreed, "Marin's strengths are not in this area. You are fully responsible for dealing with the guards. Marin is still in charge of the daily affairs of the military household economic cooperative."
