The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 366 The Deepening of Beiping Military Power

"Strictly follow the "Law of the Ming Dynasty"."

The final investigation report of the joint bill bank corruption case was sent to Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi scanned his eyes and finally chose to follow the legal system.

"Laws of the Ming Dynasty" is a summary of ancient Chinese laws based on the reality of social development in the early Ming Dynasty.

The entry is simpler than Tang law, and the spirit is stricter than Song law.

Zhu Gaochi has seen the Great Ming Law, which is already the most perfect law in this era, more civilized than the West.

It's just that the further you go, the more loopholes are exploited. There is nothing wrong with the Law of the Ming Dynasty, and it is people who implement it in the end.

There are reasons for the emperor, and there are also reasons for officials, which gradually made the law of the Ming Dynasty become a fiction.

"Since this is the case, seven people will be sentenced to death, and 32 people will be exiled and imprisoned."

"Family members should not be implicated, but the illegal gains must be confiscated. Those who do not report will be fined or detained for less than three years, depending on the degree of involvement in the case."

Following Zhu Gaochi's order, soon after, the dust settled for the first internal case of China Heavy Industry, which has attracted much attention from all walks of life.

The punishment results were basically acceptable and did not cause panic.

But the internal trial in Peking was not over.

The staff of the investigation department left Zhu Gaochi's office.

Zhu Gaochi's office has already handled the factory area, and now it is an independent three-story building with a reinforced concrete structure.

The document room has been subdivided into several departments, including reference room, communication room, document room, consultation room, etc.

According to Zhu Gaochi's request, a large office environment is implemented.

For example, the third room of the document room.

In the large rectangular office room, there are more than a dozen beams supporting the ceiling, and there are twenty desks in the middle for the staff to work.

On the surrounding walls, one side of the window faces the outside, and the other side of the window faces the corridor, and there are long cabinets.

The cabinet is full of file baskets, and temporary files are loaded according to classification.

The cabinet is full of reserved files.

Clean up every six months, and the cleaned up files are finally sent to the storage warehouse for preservation, and most of them will never see the light of day again.

The walls are simply painted white, the floor is paved with slate, and the windows are made of glass, which is simple and spacious.

waiting room.

There is a long oval table where several officers sit. There is tea provided by the staff on the table, and there is a toilet beside it.

The toilet adopts a sewer design, and when the bridle is opened, water will flow out to clean the squatting pit, and then flow into the septic tank outside the first floor through the sewer pipe.

The septic tank project in the Zhonghua Heavy Industry Zone was contracted to an outside firm.

There are already six large-scale septic tank cleaning companies in Beiping Prefecture, which contract all related businesses and have also formulated many standards.

Don't underestimate these firms.

They collect a sum of money from Party A, and then charge another sum of money from their own party B, and the overall profit will be terrific.

In the Zhonghua heavy factory area alone, the annual payment to them is as high as 5 to [-] yuan in food stamps.

Adding hundreds of prefectures and counties in Beiping, not counting the many small commercial firms in the local area, the annual revenue of these six commercial firms is as high as 30 yuan, and the six commercial firms provide jobs for more than [-] people.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time, the little prince is here to invite you."

The staff knocked on the door and entered, and said to everyone with a smile.

Several officers stood up, sorted out their appearance, then left with the staff and went to Zhu Gaochi's office.

Zhu Gaochi's office is large and simple, with a pair of large characters hanging on the wall behind the huge desk.

The big characters are framed, and transparent glass is installed on the frame, and the word "moderate" is written on it.

Zhu Gaochi signed a document and looked at the generals in front of him.

"Please sit down."

Several generals sat down on upholstered chairs.

After a while, a staff member carried a tea tray and placed several cups of hot tea on the table in front of them.

"I want to hear your opinions on the rectification of the Yamen of the Twelve Guards in Beiping City, and what are the voices of the people below."

Zhu Gaochi asked with a smile.

Reforming the military system is not a simple matter. It involves all aspects, and many people's interests will inevitably be lost.

And now it's the end of Hongwu's 29th year, and the new year is coming soon.

In such a situation, Zhu Gaochi must be cautious and have to consider the military spirit of the generals of the guard, but the construction of a new army is imminent.

"There are many people who oppose it, but there are also many people who support it. The prestige displayed by the new army still convinces many people."

Wang Cong, the commander of the Yongqing right guard, spoke first.

Hearing the statement of the general who was originally a guard in Yanshan, Zhu Gaochi showed a gratified smile, extremely satisfied with the attitude of the other party.

Over the past few years, the promotion of the palace's cronies and generals to important positions has achieved results.

In addition to the development achievements of industrialization and the victory of the new army, these large numbers of "insiders" came to the fore and controlled most of the military power in Beiping. This is Zhu Gaochi's confidence in reforming the military system.

"As long as the reorganization of the yamen of the Twelve Guards in Beiping is completed smoothly, the resistance to the reform of the other twenty or so guards will be much less."

"I know what some people think, but what I still want to say is that the restructuring is not to suppress the generals below, let alone to demolish bridges."

"Whether they believe it or not, the restructuring is due to the current needs of Peking society." Zhu Gaochi said sincerely.

"Beiping was a border area at the beginning, and military households accounted for a large proportion of the immigrant population. However, industrialization is now entering its sixth year, and there is a real manpower gap."

"The reason for the development of the new army is to improve the combat effectiveness of the army and reduce combat personnel and logistics personnel."

"In the end, the productivity of the guards will be liberated, and more manpower support will be provided for the development of Beiping's industrialization."

After listening to the little prince's explanation, the Tongzhou Guard commanded Tongzhi, and the Mongolian Huozhen said in a rough tone: "Young prince doesn't need to say so much, we will do what the palace wants to do."

"I want to see who dares not to listen to the Wangfu. He will listen to the Wangfu if it is beneficial, and resist the Wangfu if it is not beneficial. What the hell?"

Zhu Gaochi liked the straight-forward character of this Mongolian officer. At least his statement was true, which would save him a lot of trouble.

Meng Shan and Zhang Wu successively stated: "Young Lord, despite the restructuring, we trust the palace and are loyal to the palace. Personal gains and losses must be compromised for the overall situation of Beiping. Without this awareness, we cannot occupy the Maokeng."

"Okay." Zhu Gaochi clapped his hands and smiled, "With your statement, I have confidence in the next restructuring."

"But I still want to say that the reform is not aimed at anyone, but the purpose of the reform is for the overall industrialization of Beiping."

"This is an unswerving step. Accept what you can accept, and let yourself accept what you can't accept."

Zhu Gaochi became serious.

"Here!"

Several officers stood up and responded.

After talking with batches of middle-level generals, they unified their thinking, and finally the Changshifu, Beiping Capital Division, and Military Industry Joint Office jointly issued an official document.

Among them are the regulations on exempting soldiers from corvee service, the regulations on ending the Yu Ding system, and the most important thing is to exempt most of the rights of officers from hundreds of households. This alone has received the support of most ordinary military households, not to mention the rest of the ordinance.

In short.

The new reform of the military system will benefit most from ordinary military households, while the most disadvantaged are mid- and lower-level guard officers.

The retained Zhengding system will eventually become a reserve source of troops, which will provide support for the new army, that is, active-duty troops and reserve troops.

Active-duty troops implement a ten-year system.

The 25-year-old Zheng Ding was recruited and served for ten years. According to the soldiers' own needs and the needs of the army, after the ten-year system expires, they can sign the next ten-year system contract.

Soldiers who have retired after ten years of service will be arranged by the Military-Industrial Joint Office.

Soldiers who have retired after 20 years of service will be arranged by the Beiping Metropolitan Division.

Disabled soldiers, if they can stay in the camp, enjoy preferential treatment in the army, and if they choose to retire, the Shifu will give them preferential treatment.

In the first stage, the target is [-] soldiers in ten battalions and [-] soldiers in reserve.

In the second stage, the goal is to target 12 soldiers in [-] battalions and [-] soldiers in the reserve.

The first phase will be reached by the middle of next year.

The second stage was achieved in the early 31st year of Hongwu.

The plan of 12 professional soldiers and [-] reservists, many people smelled it, and it also made many people lose sleep.

The Military Industry Joint Office began to integrate the military industry, placing countless orders, and the food stamp bank paid for the food stamps.

Long Knife Factory No. [-], Long Sword Factory No. [-], Standard Saber Factory, Shield Factory, Gunpowder Factory, Paper Bullet Packaging Factory, Bird Gun Factory, Van Factory, Light Cannon Foundry, Cannon Foundry, Military Food Factory, Ordnance factory……

More than [-] large and small factories are in full production.

At the end of the 29th year of Hongwu and about to enter the 30th year of Hongwu, the military industry took the lead in making efforts.

20 guns, 60 knives of various colors, [-] shields, [-] vans, [-] cannons of various colors, [-] hand grenades, [-] horses...

The power of the grenade has been proven on the battlefield, and it is the biggest "killer" in the hands of soldiers.

It was also the military factory that issued the recruitment notice first.

It just so happened that the guards began to liberate the population. Before ordinary commercial firms could react, the factories of China Heavy Industry gave priority to military factories.

This part of the manpower was first collected in the military factories, and then the various factories of China Heavy Industries.

The new year in Peking is very lively.

The faces of the common people are full of smiles, and the year-end summary of each business firm shows that every family has increased several times, and some have even increased ten times.

But the owners of these firms couldn't laugh.

Under the huge profits, what restricts them is the shortage of labor. This is like a joke. The huge Ming Dynasty, with its countless population, can't recruit workers.

All the commercial banks are gearing up, gathering funds, financing from their respective hometowns, and preparing to work hard after the new year.

But they suddenly discovered that the problem that they didn't care about before became their biggest obstacle.

How to do?
The expansion plan for next year is ready, and we are just waiting to continue to double.

Is there any more profitable business in the world than here?

Salt merchants have flooded into Beiping, and private salt dealers have given up their old business, not to mention other industries.

It's like the beauty has already taken off her clothes, and when she is about to pounce on it, her feet cramp, and the waiting time is annoying.
