The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 308 The Merchants' First War

"You old Tian's family, after eating and drinking, you can save 50 taels of silver a year, and it will only be 500 taels in ten years."

The businessman said loudly.

"I earned this amount last year." The businessman raised his hand and doubled it.

Zhang Bola's investment business behavior has pointed out the direction for countless small businessmen who lack funds.

"Didn't your family used to sell noodles in Beiping City? Your stall can earn 1000 taels a year. It's a lie."

"This business has been discontinued for a long time. I am now mining. Do you understand mining?"

The businessman said angrily.

Lao Tian's family has been against him and interrupted him several times, which made the businessman very dissatisfied.

"If you do this, you won't be afraid that the government will take you."

The old Tian family said threateningly.

"Ha, this is the biggest one in all of Beiping." The businessman gave a thumbs up, "This big man supports us, who dares to mess around?"

Although the businessman didn't say who it was, everyone knew that the businessman was talking about the palace.

The environment is different.

When the landlord class is powerful, it is natural that they have the right to speak, and they will naturally make a powerful counterattack in the face of the challenger-industry.

This is in line with the logic of the development of things.

But the premise is that the landlord class is strong.

When the power is not proportional, the weakness of the landlord class will be displayed.

Beiping Mansion is different from Shandong, and it is even more incomparable with the power of landlords in the south.

In the early Ming Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang's immigration policy remained unchanged for 30 years, the big local households had been hit hard for a long time.

The big households in these places were split up and moved to different regions.

Although new acres were distributed and manpower was brought to areas that lacked population, the original network of relationships disappeared and the right to speak was lost.

Even the influence of the government is not as good as that of the prince, let alone the small landlords in the countryside.

The power of industrial power and land power has long been out of proportion.

Those voices of dissatisfaction can't make waves.

It is also the confidence for businessmen to dare to pat the table.

It is also one of the reasons for the germination of capital ideas in the Jianghuai area in the late Ming Dynasty.

The well-developed business environment in the Jianghuai region allowed merchants to overwhelm the power of landlords, and merchants were even able to defeat the imperial power.

Emperor Wanli's tax collection activities in the Jianghuai area were mainly based on textile workers, supplemented by citizens' joint resistance and ended in failure.

"I'm telling you bluntly, if I don't keep up, the gap between me and you will get bigger and bigger in the future."

"When the time comes, hehe."

"What do you dare to do?" the young man of Lao Tian's family roared.

"I don't dare to do anything, but you understand the truth. Now that you are begging me to join, I don't want it either."

"Everyone calm down first. They are all from the village. If you don't look up and see you down, why should you be so?"

The rest of the people persuaded one after another.

The businessman and Lao Tian's family ignored each other, but they didn't continue talking.

At last.

The businessman proved that he did earn more than 700 taels of silver last year. Although it is food stamps, people know that food stamps are equal to real money.

More than 700 taels of silver.

Several families showed envious eyes.

Lao Tian's family left angrily, and the rest of the family pulled the businessman to ask questions, and the businessman explained it in detail.

In the end, the businessman invited the heads of several of their families to visit Beiping.

Also looked at his little mine.

at last.

The businessman got what he wanted, and brought back more than 3000 taels of real gold and silver from his hometown, and then went to Kaiping to buy land, recruit workers, and then take the contract to the food stamp bank for a loan.

The first pot of gold is difficult for most ordinary people.

Businessmen have the first pot of gold, and through joint ventures, the first pot of gold is enough to get on the threshold and enter the gate of the new world.

North of Kaiping.

New world.

The mineral resources here are rich, there are a lot of open-pit mines, the mineral products are high-quality, the mining cost is low, and the production output is high.

The railway engineering team has already made a plan and started to work on the land. It plans to spend half a year to lay the railway, with an average of five miles per day.

Mining mines also takes time.

Surveying, buying land, going through formalities, recruiting workers, buying equipment, hiring qualified managers...

The wages are rising day by day.

There were even incidents of robbery of workers.

An armed battle broke out between the two trading houses. Hundreds of people rode horses and raised weapons on the grassland to fight.

It alarmed China Heavy Industries, as well as the government and the palace.

The Research Department immediately launched an investigation.

"Shabu Dingtaiji has signed a contract, promising to hand over the herdsmen of his tribe to one of the two troublesome business houses."

"But another company secretly contacted Shabuding and charged a higher price, which made Shabuding change his mind."

"Because there was a conflict between the two commercial banks, after many negotiations, they failed to reach an agreement, so that an armed conflict broke out."

"Where are the people from?"

"Both commercial firms have good friends with Taiji, and they have paid for their help in fighting the war."

Zhu Gaochi rubbed his temples.

"Too bold."

"What the little prince said is that you need to take good care of it."

……

"It's really unbelievable. It's an eye-opener. It's unbelievable that such a thing can happen."

Zhu Neng, who was in charge of the rotation of military workers in Daning, was stunned in shock.

"How did you come up with it? These businessmen are fucking geniuses."

"Are those Taijis stupid? The businessmen have conflicts, they fight first, grandma is a bear, lose her position."

Some generals felt that it was worthless for them to fight those Taiji.

These Taiji are too embarrassing this time, and as their opponent for many years, isn't it also embarrassing.

Kaiping Development Infrastructure Group Corporation was even more angry.

When the momentum is like a rainbow, if something like this happens, they will have to take the blame in the end, how can they not be angry.

The entire Kaiping business firm depends on the face of the Kaiping Development Infrastructure Group Corporation to eat.

The head office of Kaiping Development Infrastructure Group was angry, and the two troublemakers came to explain obediently, saying that it was the other party's fault.

"Our firm has already signed a contract with Shabudin. They violated the rules and tempted Shabudin to violate the contract."

"What rule? Which rule prohibits it? You go to Shabudin, he violated the contract, you just go to him."

A contract is a mature business practice, and Shabudin understands a fart contract.

He thinks that his herdsmen can arrange to go to any mine he wants, and no one can control him.

As for the contract, what is it.

This is where civilized people suffer. They are either ignorant or backward, because they take it for granted that they are right.

What to do, I can only be angry.

The firm that was breached of the contract naturally wanted to find a firm that could reason, and the conflict between the two became stronger and stronger.

So much so that they have to give each other a good look, and such a big incident has happened.

Now the two commercial firms feel scared, and try their best to defend themselves in the building of Kaiping Development Infrastructure Group Corporation.

Many people are watching too.

How will Kaiping Development Infrastructure Group Corporation punish the two firms.

It didn't take long for people to wait, and the Kaiping Development Infrastructure Group Corporation issued a penalty notice.

The two firms were each fined 100 taels.

It's a fart punishment.

The merchants ignored it and didn't take it seriously.

New regulations were issued soon after.

It is forbidden to increase the labor price in the north of Kaiping through various improper means and destroy the development environment of Kaiping.

If it is found that one is important and the other is serious, the qualification to do business in Kaiping will be deprived.

This punishment is harsh.

However, most firms are in favor of it.

No one wants to be poached.

It is difficult to recruit herdsmen on the grasslands, and there is too little labor.

They prefer rules to no rules, unless they have their own advantages, and now in Kaiping, they hope to have orderly competition.

this rule.

It not only guarantees their labor cost, but also avoids competition in labor.

Merchants profited, so naturally they would not violate this new regulation, and it was soon implemented.

When there are fewer people who oppose it, the new regulations are easier to implement.

When there are many people who oppose it, the new regulations can easily go bankrupt.

Even the Kaiping Development Infrastructure Group Corporation has to consider its own prestige and will not mess with the rules.

Sand pudding is having a hard time.

Shabuding has to pay a fine of 100 taels as a punishment for breach of contract.

100 taels is a small amount for a commercial firm, but it is a large amount for Shabuding, so of course he is not willing to pay it.

Therefore, the Kaiping Development Infrastructure Group Corporation does not allow commercial firms to use the herdsmen of the Shabuding tribe, which puts Shabuding in trouble.

Apart from the profits he wants, those herdsmen who lose their wages don't care.

Their wages are directly settled by the mine to Shabudin.

Shabuding was relatively generous at the beginning, and he only deducted [-] to [-] percent. As Shabuding went to Beiping City more often, the deductions became more and more serious.

Now the herdsmen are not interested in working in the mines, because Shabuding has been deducted too much.

Shabuding even bought a house in Beiping.

"Our people work in the mines for only five taels of silver a month, and 100 taels of silver, which is equivalent to a month of work for nothing."

In the new house in Peking.

Shabudin complained to the merchant.

"If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences. The longer you delay, the more you will lose." The businessman comforted him.

"You are fighting against the Kaiping Development Infrastructure Group Corporation. They are big, and you will not get any benefits."

"Oh, it's too bullying."

Sha Pudding showed weakness.

Although he has not felt that he has done anything wrong so far, he still paid the fine.

June on the grassland north of Kaiping is like a big construction site.

Different from the model of the construction business group of the three provinces, the management here in Kaiping is stricter, because it is under the pressure of the Kaiping Development Infrastructure Group Corporation.

Countless projects flowed out from Kaiping Development Infrastructure Group Corporation, and were contracted by businessmen one by one.

Comply with the policies established by Kaiping Development Infrastructure Group Corporation.

Countless herdsmen left their horses and stood on the ground to work hard.

At least.

Under the background of this year's grassland drought, many people have a new way of life, and there is no longer the threat of death.

"Here we must hurry up the construction period."

The management personnel system supported by China Heavy Industry has become the guest of honor of various commercial firms, helping commercial firms to establish organizational backbones.

Behind the stewards and team leaders, some young graduates followed, as well as some young people on the grassland.

Most of the young people on the prairie come from the children of the headmen, and they can speak and write.

They hold pen and paper just like the school's recent graduates.
