The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 428 The Bullying King of Gaoyang County

The patent applied by Hop Kee did not have the core technology, so the brick kiln factory under the engineering department bypassed Hop Kee's patent and applied for its own patent.

There is no difference between the two patents in theory, both are new production machines that revolve around the steam engine.

However, the lawsuit between the two has aroused the enthusiasm of private capital to apply for patents, and no one wants their production technology to be controlled by others.

Faced with this situation, Zhu Gaochi knew that Xiao Jiu couldn't handle it.

"The Technology Department will not be in charge of patent business in the future, and a special patent management department will be established in Beiping, which will be included in the Changshi Mansion."

Xiao Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Our internal patents are easy to talk about. There is a set of rewards and upgrade systems, and the technicians are very satisfied."

"But external patents, if they are true, I don't know how to deal with them."

"Especially for some patents, if they are approved, I am afraid that they will not allow others to use them. If they are not approved, it will be unreasonable."

Xiao Jiu's worry is also the worry of many people.

When Zhou Shifeng came back from Henan, Xiao Jiulai happened to talk about this matter, and couldn't help saying: "The patent law should be changed, and no company should monopolize technology."

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

What Zhou Shifeng said is correct.

"Everything has two sides. The patent law helps to increase the research and development enthusiasm of technicians, but if it is not managed, it will hinder the development of the industry."

"China Heavy Industry's technology is disclosed to the public, and private capital patents are also disclosed to the public, but it is even more important to protect their interests from loss."

"Cough cough."

Zhou Shifeng suddenly coughed twice.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, are you okay?" Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhou Shifeng in surprise.

"I was ill in Henan for a few days and took some medicines. Although I got better, my body was not refreshed."

Zhou Shifeng looked at Zhu Gaochi apologetically.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Zhou Shifeng, who had lost three points, and felt admiration for this hard-working shopkeeper.

What is the plan of ten thousand factories and ten thousand mines?

It is to directly copy the development experience of Peiping to other provinces, and use administrative means to create a huge market out of thin air.

Daming North-South Railway, network railway in eleven provinces and one region.

The construction of new urban areas in the provinces.

……

That's how it's made.

Markets can indeed be created.

For example, the shanty clearing plan.

The combination of capital and local regulation means that housing prices have suddenly increased by a large amount, even in county towns.

Infrastructure construction in various places and so on.

Everything has two sides. Zhu Gaochi took advantage of the side, and it took only six years for Beiping to undergo earth-shaking changes.

This is no miracle.

It took the later generations 20 years to change the whole of China.

20 years ago, I went to the south to work, and I crowded the train with large and small bags. 20 years later, I took the high-speed rail and flew to work.

In 2000, Zhu Gaochi still remembered the years when he was in school. There were many children in each class who could not afford tuition and miscellaneous fees.

The low self-esteem on the podium, the embarrassment of being driven home to ask for tuition and miscellaneous fees.

It only took 20 years to reach the point where the country had to deal with the education and training industry. How much has this changed?
One underground, one heavenly gap.

In six years, Beiping has reached today's scale, which is nothing compared to the speed of development in the past 20 years.

However, the earth-shaking events in Beiping in the past six years did not happen out of thin air. Countless Chinese heavy workers are struggling.

And Zhou Shifeng, who is the big shopkeeper, has never rested.

They are the real doers.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, although work is important, your body is more important. China Heavy Industry's people-oriented philosophy, as a big shopkeeper, you have to be a representative, right?"

Zhu Gaochi comforted him.

Some things are usually difficult to say, and it is easy to be misunderstood. Now is a good opportunity. Zhu Gaochi really hopes that Zhou Shifeng can rest for a while.

The environment of Ming Dynasty was far more relaxed than that of later generations.

There is no need to survive between the two poles.

It has never recognized all unequal treaties in the West, and rejected certain demands from the Arctic. With China's historical background, it is destined to embark on the road of independence and self-improvement.

So China has to desperately catch up.

But Daming doesn't need it.

In the early Ming Dynasty, there was a loose fault-tolerant environment, so Zhu Gaochi's welfare system was not a big problem in the process of social resource allocation, but instead became a driving force for domestic demand.

"What the little prince said is true." Zhou Shifeng smiled, obviously not listening to Zhu Gaochi's words.

It's not that he doesn't want to rest, but that in this position, everything is inseparable from his approval and attention.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhou Shifeng talked about his topic.

"Factories, railways, mines, Shanxi have less resistance, but Henan and Shandong have very strong resistance."

"It's mainly Shandong. Although the county king is in Shandong, there are always problems that arise one after another. If this situation is not reversed, I'm afraid it will delay the goal for next year."

Later generations of Germany spent six years building the railway in Shandong, and the real construction period was less than two years. The rest of the time was delayed due to local opposition.

Is Germany strong?It must be stronger than the local squire.

"Second brother, he looks like a rough guy. He needs to use a rough guy to frighten Shandong, so that people know it's not easy to mess with. But things in Shandong really can't be done blindly, especially for that family. The consequences are too great."

"But I have confidence in my second brother. He is a man of roughness and finesse. He knows where to measure. Let's see what the second brother does in Shandong."

During the battle of Jingnan, Zhu Gaoxu always tried his best to turn the tide and won Zhu Di's trust. How can he be a simple-minded man.

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi had an idea, Zhou Shifeng stopped pursuing this matter.

Zhou Shifeng looked serious, and said: "There is also the south. The public opinion in the south is not very good for our China Heavy Industry. Although a separate newspaper has been established in Yingtianfu, the sales of the newspaper are not large, and the public opinion is not in our hands."

Zhu Gaochi's face is also not happy.

Shandong is a province with a large population. Even if there are new troops stationed in Shandong, it will not be able to change the public opinion in the countryside, let alone the south.

"At this stage, we can only work hard to do things in the south, and the main force is still used for the development of the north."

"At present, in the development projects of the four provinces alone, we have already experienced a shortage of talents. Only by developing the four provinces and cultivating enough industrial talents will finally form a crushing situation and reverse those unfavorable situations."

Zhu Gaochi knew that the gentry in the south was scolding him, but Zhu Gaochi controlled his anger.

Seeing that the little prince did not change his plan, Zhou Shifeng heaved a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that the little prince would make a decision to change the current steps because of anger. In Zhou Shifeng's view, the current four provinces have overloaded the China Heavy Industry system.

Whether it is resources or manpower, after all, Beiping has only developed for six years.

Zhejiang province.

Social retribution Tianfu sub-report.

"The Beiping Comprehensive Stadium in Beiping is scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival. The 20 tickets are sold out, and it is already hard for people to get a ticket."

"For the activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the dance theaters, music theaters, and grand theaters of various prefectures in Peiping have arranged many excellent programs."

"Not only the soldiers and civilians from Beiping, but also people from all provinces have come to participate. It will be the most grand event in Ming Dynasty."

"The construction of spiritual civilization will increase people's spiritual energy and make the society full of vitality. I wish the Peking Mid-Autumn Festival a perfect ending."

Looking at the newspaper, the readers of the restaurant had different expressions.

"A venue with 20 people is incredible."

Some people were surprised by the scale mentioned in the newspaper.

The squire next to him snorted coldly: "You actually have to spend money to buy tickets. In the matter of collecting people's fat and people's anointing, the Yan Wang family has used the extreme methods."

"But 20 people can buy tickets. Is it true that Peiping is as rich as the newspapers say?"

Some people are in a trance.

"The king of Gaoyang County in Shandong bullied people and took away their property. Do you know that?"

"Is there still this?"

"What right does the king of Gaoyang County have to manage Shandong's affairs? Could it be that the saint really doesn't care about anything, and turns a blind eye to the evils of King Yan's family."

"Oh, the place is uneasy. If this continues, the people of Ming Dynasty may be in great trouble." The squire lamented.

Below the restaurant is the river.

There are boats on the river.

The boats here are different from those elsewhere, commonly known as flower boats.

The same nature, different occasions, the price must be different, that is, the difference in grade.

On the wharf of the migrant workers, there are boat girls entertaining the migrant workers.

In the bustling areas, there are beautiful decorations, beautiful women, and occasionally some famous prostitutes who can drink and write lyrics.

They call it elegant, and it has nothing to do with vulgarity.

It's common people's business.

The same thing they do is elegant, and they must be distinguished.

The truth of the world, there is no difference.

Isn't the future generations also all kinds of yacht banquets, just changing the soup but not the medicine.

Later generations have no right to mock the ancient times.

It's just a difference in productivity.

The West has already seen through.

It's just that the difference in productivity makes life different, and there will be no crisis of starvation at the bottom.

"Did you see it? The newspaper said that Ying Tianfu opened a printing and dyeing factory."

"What did you say?"

"The steam engine used is a large iron dyeing vat, with fan blades inside that can be turned, and the steam released can also heat water. The efficiency is more than ten times higher than before."

The traditional dyeing method is to use a large vat to heat it with firewood, pour the dye into the vat, and stand on the mouth of the vat with a stick to stir.

It's just that the steam engine was used as the stirring power, so a larger dyeing vat can be used, and the iron material is cheap, so there are dyeing vats similar to those of later generations.

The dyeing machines of later generations are also called dyeing vats. People who don’t know this name will subconsciously think it is the water vat in their impression when they hear this name for the first time.

In fact, many technologies of the first industrial revolution are essentially the same as those of ancient times.

It can be seen from the name.

The traditional dyeing process was replaced with a larger iron cylinder, which eliminated manpower and used a steam engine as power.

In the past, firewood was used, but now steam is used, but the steam engine needs coal, that is, it has been changed from firewood to coal.

Fuelwood energy has entered into coal energy, and the demand for coal in the textile industry of new technology has also risen linearly.

The same is true for the styling process.

In the past, it was done by manpower, and the fabric was finished coloring and vat. After drying in the sun, it was pulled and fixed by manpower, and it took several days to set the shape.

Later, it was changed to a machine, and through a 30-meter-long machine, the cloth was pulled like an assembly line, cut flat and steamed to quickly shape it.

Even later, there is no need to dry it in the sun, just use a bucket to dry the water, then dry it in a dryer, and finally put it on a setting machine.

In the traditional process, each step is changed to a machine.

In essence, the steam engine is applied to all walks of life, but the craftsmen need to partially improve the steam engine and apply it to factories in various industries.

So people say that the greatest invention is the steam engine, not the new dye vat, setting machine, etc., because these inventions are not difficult.

But the improvement in efficiency is indeed a hundred-fold increase.

The use of machines in each process is inherently stronger than manpower. In addition, machines can increase the production volume, and the addition of each process makes a big change.

The output of the new factory is dozens of times higher than that of traditional workshops.

"These businessmen forget their righteousness when they see profit, and work as a minion for tigers." The squire scolded.

"The wages of avarice is death."

"Peking's industrial development, since Lian Zining took the lead in Yingtianfu, although the steam engine factory failed, it is unexpected that other industries have become popular."

"Peking purchases millions of pieces of cloth every year in Yingtianfu. How can those merchants not be hooked?"

"It's good now that our Jianghuai area has become a place to produce fabrics for Beiping."

Some scholars objected, saying: "Compared with the previous collection model, I think this is good, and the common people are also happy."

Jianghuai area.

The trading area that accounted for two-thirds of the total economic output of the Ming Dynasty.

Beiping Heavy Industry did not involve light industry, and the Jianghuai area quickly found a new breakthrough after failing to try steam engines.

Light industry flourished in the Jianghuai area, forming a complementary situation with Beiping.

Coupled with the liberalization of investment in Beiping and the restrictions on some industries, a large amount of funds in the Jianghuai region went north.

In the end, it still attracted many people, and did not make everyone object.

"According to some salt merchants I have contacted, their assets have increased more than tenfold in recent years. With such great profits, it is not surprising that they choose Peiping."

"But the whole world has begun to value profit, and morality is not the first, how can it be like this."

Chen Bin cursed.

He is a big family in the local area, and someone in his family is an official in the imperial court.

Can't see other people living better than him.

in the past.

People in the village envy his family.

When the villagers were poor, his family had hundreds of acres of land, farming and studying, and no one in a radius of a hundred miles envied his family.

When it comes to his Chen family, which family dare not bow their heads.

But I don't know when, more and more tenants went to Peiping, and their life became better and better.

The salary is 12 yuan a year.

After Chen Bin learned that one yuan can be exchanged for one tael of silver in Beiping, Chen Bin broke his guard.

When people mentioned his Chen family, they lost the awe they used to have in their eyes, and their topic was not about how great the Chen family was, but about working in Peiping.

They all want to go to Peiping to work, and they no longer target the Chen family.

No one envied the Chen family, so naturally there was no awe.

This is human nature.

The same is true for ordinary people.

When you envy others, when you see others, you will feel ashamed and submissive; when you don't envy others, you will look down on others.

This is due to the lack of participation in social activities, resulting in an inferiority complex born from numbness.

When you often participate in social activities, you will have self-confidence and a strong heart, so you will not be confused by these simple things.

Scholars in ancient times were more confident than ordinary people. In addition to salary, scholars often participated in social activities.

The construction of spiritual civilization is not just about slogans and some formal things.

Just like a sports powerhouse.

It is definitely the full participation of the people in the society that can be called a sports power and truly improve the physical fitness of the whole people.

And want to do it.

Many aspects of support are needed, such as a relaxed social environment, people have a stable living environment, and so on.

Many things are complementary, such as civilization.

The prosperity of civilization is definitely not outstanding in one aspect, it must be all-round development in order to build a strong civilization.
