The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 461 Maritime merchants imitate steam engine ships
After the General Business Conference was held, countless businessmen gathered in Peiping, including new firms and many firms that were not qualified to participate in the conference.

They are either not large enough, or they have nothing to do with it, and they are not involved in the China Heavy Industry system.

360 lines.

Too many industries.

In the city of Beiping, it opened in an alley, obviously not a foreign trade shop, and its name was Liuhe Consulting Bank.

The staff in the shop are dressed in exquisite clothes, and everyone looks very professional, receiving businessmen who come to consult one after another.

Separated into separate meeting rooms.

The two businessmen from Guangdong kept asking and confirming repeatedly, and the manager on the opposite side answered tirelessly, with a smile on his face all the time.

"According to the purpose of the conference, China Heavy Industries will loosen many restrictions next year. If you want to set up a steam engine factory in Guangdong, there is absolutely no problem."

The steward said again with certainty.

"China Heavy Industry will never suppress it?"

The Guangdong businessman asked repeatedly.

The steward had a smile on his face, but he was already cursing in his heart.

Ying Tianfu opened a steam engine factory, but because of the dumping in Peking, it closed down. These smugglers want to eat meat but are afraid of taking risks.

"Your former chief secretary, Yan Fantai, supported the establishment of factories in Guangdong, and even encouraged the establishment of steam engine factories, but no one who didn't know about Yingtianfu dared not touch the core of China Heavy Industries."

China Heavy Industry first made its fortune by relying on steam engines. The impression of the outside world is that the steam engine factory is the core of China Heavy Industry.

"Although the steam engine is the core factory, it is no longer the core of China Heavy Industry. According to the purpose of the conference, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of private businesses to develop new technologies, all patents of steam engines are fully released to the society."

Cantonese businessmen have been entangled.

Stewardship doesn't matter.

Anyway, he charges on time, what does he care about? The other party cares about money, right?

The two businessmen looked at each other, and finally someone asked in a low voice: "What if we run a steam engine shipyard?"

The steward was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

No wonder.

These two people must be big merchants.

The manager couldn't answer, and the Guangdong businessmen didn't trust him. In the end, because of the Guangdong businessmen's deep pockets, the owner of Liuhe Consulting came forward.

The owner of Liuhe Consulting Company is surnamed Su.

His eldest brother is Su Guan.

It turned out that the officials of the Iron Smelting Institute won the trust of the young prince, and later the lower-level officials of the Chief Secretary, and now the Chief Secretary participates in politics.

The owner of Liuhe Consulting Company has a good background. Many people know it, but they don’t know who it is.

The two Guangdong businessmen who came from afar are unknown.

But according to the information they inquired, Liuhe Consulting Bank is definitely the top group of consulting firms in Beiping in terms of policy interpretation.

Fees are, of course, the most expensive.

Su Dong's family smiled and were very friendly, but the two Guangdong businessmen did not dare to neglect, knowing that the relationship behind this kind of person is absolutely strong.

"You guys want to set up a steamship shipyard. You really are rich and powerful maritime merchants."

"Don't dare."

The two businessmen were seen through. Although they were not afraid, they became more and more cautious. They were just pathfinders.

Su Dongjia, who is nearly 40 years old, wears a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist, wears a simple long gown, and wears a mink coat when he comes in from the outside.

The briquette tunnel is used in the house to keep the temperature in the store very warm, and the mink fur coat was picked up by the staff.

"Please."

Su Dongjia poured two cups of tea, and two Guangdong businessmen held up the teacups.

"I heard that you in Guangdong like to drink tea the most. How about the tea in Peking?"

"it is good."

“The aroma lingers between the teeth and the aftertaste is endless.”

"Hahaha." Su Dongjia laughed, "The tea is bought from Fujian."

The two businessmen exchanged a haha.

Only then did Su Dongjia restrain his smile and recognize the other party, he was indeed a low-key person.

It doesn't matter if you want to get rich.

What I am most afraid of is the kind of lawlessness, the kind of person who feels that he can do anything after a little achievement.

"You have no problem in wanting to start a steamship yard."

Two Guangdong businessmen waited for the words from Su Dong's family.

really.

"But if you want to develop in this industry for a long time, you must abide by the rules of the Beiping model. It is best to register with the Beiping Ministry of Industry and Civil Affairs."

Su Dongjia said with a mysterious smile: "Although registering with the Ministry of Workers and Civilians will bring many rules, there are also more benefits."

Two Cantonese businessmen asked softly, "I heard that King Yan is about to become the crown prince."

Su Dong's family ignored it and took a sip of tea.

Seeing this, the two Guangdong businessmen did not continue to ask questions in this regard, and began to ask why they needed to register with the Ministry of Workers' and Civilian Union.

At last.

The cost of this consultation cost two Guangdong businessmen a full one hundred yuan, and the last consultation that was not answered cost another two hundred yuan.

The consulting fee of 25 yuan can only be saved by a worker for [-] years without food or drink.

After the general business meeting ended.

Soon there was a general meeting.

Civil servants, military officials, workers, military households, soldiers, etc. from eleven provinces and one region participated in the conference.

Da Yi gave a detailed introduction to the planning and development goals of the eleven provinces and one region next year.

In addition to the traditional industries in Beiping, many industries of various types were born.

Throughout the year.

Amidst the singing and laughter of the common people, the high-level people are busier than usual.

The 30th year of Hongwu.

Peking Song and Dance Theater.

The military officers all entered the arena neatly. "Wei!"

When Zhu Gaochi entered the arena, more than [-] middle and senior military officers all stood up.

"Crash."

There was a loud sound.

"Whoosh."

The military attaches marched in one direction with outstretched arms.

"Clap clap clap."

The civil servants who participated applauded.

With a smile all over his face, Zhu Gaochi waved his hands with the civil and military officials on both sides, and sat in the front row under the eyes of everyone.

After Zhu Gaochi sat down, people followed suit and returned to their seats.

"Old General Song, come with me to the capital next spring."

Zhu Gaochi smiled at Song Sheng beside him.

"Follow the arrangement of the young prince."

Song Sheng nodded.

Zhu Gaochi withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.

The current Ming Dynasty does not lack qualified mid-level military officers, but there is an extreme shortage of marshals needed for large corps operations due to various reasons.

Directing thousands of people, tens of thousands of people, or even more than [-] people, is absolutely an earth-shaking change.

In terms of resource integration, it is not something that ordinary people can think of by relying on their imagination.

With the development of productivity, the internal division of labor in the army using firearms is becoming more and more clear, and the requirements for the height of social organization are also increasing.

In today's Ming Dynasty, the only one who has the experience of commanding large corps in combat and has never failed is Zhu Di.

Including Song Sheng in front of me, Geng Bingwen in the capital, and Guo Ying who was transferred to Yunnan. Their experience is mainly in the command of a unilateral army.

And whether it was Zhu Neng from the Peking faction, or Qiu Fu, Tang Yun and others, they could only be called warriors now.

They are capable enough to command thousands of people in battle, but they have no experience in commanding tens of thousands of people.

So Zhu Gaochi has not taken any risks so far.

In Beiping's foreign wars, the battalion was the main combat unit, and no large corps combat mode was launched.

Businesses fail, and many people become decadent.

If the country's large corps fails in battle, it will also cause huge losses to the national strength, and Zhu Gaochi is unwilling to act rashly.

The only one who really reassures him is Zhu Di.

Even Tang Yunqiufu and other Beiping generals, Zhu Gaochi was unwilling to delegate power to them to lead the large corps to fight.

These people have experienced failures in history, and many Jingnan heroes were defeated when they went to fight in the large corps.

They have proved insufficient in this respect when leading armies alone on expeditions.

in short.

They also need to learn and grow.

So at this stage, learning from Zhu Yuanzhang and training the successors of the three generations of civil and military officials, old, middle-aged and young, are very critical methods.

This is the old way of governing the country.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi was actually unwilling to mobilize troops on a large scale. His plan was to allow Zhu Di to lead the army on an expedition after the capital was stabilized.

Zhu Di is Zhu Gaochi's most reassuring generalissimo.

In the process of Zhu Di commanding the large corps to fight, talents were cultivated and promoted, and they gradually acquired the corresponding talents.

in other words.

With Zhu Di as the first generation, train the second-generation marshals, and then use the second-generation marshals to train the third-generation marshals, forming a good model of generational alternation.

But Zhu Di also needs help, and he also needs someone to help stabilize the internal environment, so the only remaining veteran like Song Sheng, who has been proven by history to be loyal to Daming, is the one Zhu Gaochi needs to win over.

Peking Opera House.

The actors danced one after another on the beautifully arranged stage.

The singers sang loudly.

"Crash."

"Crash."

The applause from the audience continued.

A smile appeared on Zhu Gaochi's face.

There is no doubt about the strength of the new army in Beiping, but the new army with good horses and saddles, accumulated by relying on the achievements of industrial development, also needs high-quality generals.

When Britain became the empire on which the sun never sets.

Not only is Britain's industrial capabilities, but also a large number of outstanding military officers who have won successive victories in foreign wars.

Talent is always key.

Otherwise, even if they are given advanced weapons and have no qualified personnel, they may become a "noodle" army.

"The Military-Industrial Joint Office is very proactive."

During the party, Zhu Gaochi held a wine glass.

Ma Wangxuan was stunned.

Zhu Gaochi quickly passed Ma Wangxuan and looked at Zhu Neng.

Zhu Neng's achievements have proved in history that he is the most talented group of generals in the Jingnan Campaign, and his training value is very high.

"Do well in the Western Regions."

Zhu Gaochi patted Zhu Neng.

Zhu Neng drank the wine in one gulp.

There is a need for a war in Yili, because under the impetus of various parties, it has reached the crater, and it is more dangerous if it does not erupt.

But Zhu Gaochi currently does not want to fight with large corps.

No matter in terms of talents, environment, or even economic development, they are still not in line for the time being.

It is a good thing that the military-industrial joint office has the initiative, but it should be based on the needs of Ming Dynasty.
