The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 469 Prototype of Tractor
"Boom..."

In the endless fields of the plain, due to the implementation of the large-scale well system, the number of fields per mu has decreased.

A steam engine stopped on the ridge of the field, making a roaring sound.

As the transmission parts rotate, the two long ropes are pulled for dozens of steps, trying to pull the huge plow machine.

With the efficiency of the steam engine, the plowshare machine was indeed pulled.

Several technicians inspected and watched the workers operating the steam engines, as well as dozens of young women and children.

Eight families in the area came to see the strange thing.

"The operation is not flexible, the efficiency has not been greatly improved, and the cost is too high." The owner of Wanlian Commercial Bank is full of regret.

"Finally there is a breakthrough. I think there is still a certain market."

“There is buying value in the large well area.”

"Have you applied for a patent?"

"I have already applied for it, but I heard that other firms are also applying for this type of patent. I don't know the specifics."

At this time, two military households came over and asked curiously: "How much do you plan to sell this machine for?"

Seeing Junhu's interest, the others smiled.

"It's just an experimental product at the moment and has not been put into production yet, so the market price has not yet been determined. Do you think this machine will be helpful to you?"

Junhu looked back at the plowshare, which was several times larger than a traditional plow, and then nodded.

"It's a bit rare, and it's too troublesome to operate."

"How much do you think is appropriate?" the owner asked simultaneously.

"Ten yuan, it depends on whether the machine is easy to break." Junhu thought hard.

The businessman smiled and did not answer.

He couldn't afford it for ten yuan, and of course he wouldn't believe what the military household said. The buyer definitely wanted it to be as cheap as possible.

"By the way, your machine must be included in the support catalog of the Agricultural Development Food Stamp Bank, otherwise no one will buy it."

Junhu’s kind reminder.

The businessman bowed his hands in thanks.

Projects or machines listed on the support list of the Agricultural Development Food Stamp Bank will receive a large amount of subsidies.

In addition, military households can obtain interest-free loans to buy agricultural machinery, which has become the main way for military households to purchase machinery.

There are interest-free loans, and more and more people are aware of the benefits. It would be a bastard not to take advantage of them.

The businessman will definitely not make any omissions, but he is tactful and accepts the military household's favor, which makes both parties happy, right?

"Boom..."

The steam engine on the ridge is still roaring, technicians are discussing the direction of improvement, and businessmen and farmers are chatting to learn about the current market situation in the military household Katai area.

Only the steam engine keeps running.

This small steam engine has an efficiency of four horsepower and is an extension of the third generation core technology of the steam engine factory.

With the opening of all patents for steam engine factories and the loosening of the market, many businessmen invested in this industry.

……

Xiaojiu from the Technology Department came to the Prince's Mansion.

Zhu Gaochi took time out of his busy schedule to meet with Xiaojiu and listen to the latest report from the Technology Department.

"Not only China Heavy Industries has been impacted by businessmen, but also our technology department. Businessmen offered high prices and even shares, which attracted a lot of technical personnel to leave."

Faced with this situation, Xiaojiu didn't know how to solve it, and the rest of the people couldn't give them any ideas, so they could only come to the young prince for help.

According to the master's guidance, the young prince has made his decision. Even if there is a recurrence in the future, Xiao Jiu will not have anything to do with him.

Xiaojiu didn't think that far, but she still had to listen to her master's words.

"What's going on?" Zhu Gaochi asked.

Zhu Gaochi has always given the broadest understanding to technical personnel, because technology and production are different.

The former is unknown, the latter is known.

"There are many technical personnel who no longer apply for funds and material research from the Technology Department, but accept investment from external commercial banks."

"Now a manager in the Technology Department has proposed that these technicians who accept external firms to help others research technology should be fired."

Zhu Gaochi asked: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Xiao Jiu hesitated. According to the master's wishes, he should listen to the young prince, but Xiao Jiu couldn't help but say.

"They did not use funds and materials from China Heavy Industries. The technology they researched belonged to others. There is nothing wrong with it."

"Only they are still registered as the technical department and receive the salary of the technical department, so the reason for dismissal is not inappropriate."

"So you think you should be dismissed?" Zhu Gaochi laughed.

Xiao Jiu shook his head.

"The young prince attaches great importance to technical talents, and even many people from other provinces have provided subsidies, and I also feel that there is no need to embarrass others in small ways."

Xiaojiu still went against the master's instructions and said proactively: "The Technology Department should not only serve China Heavy Industries."

"well said."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

Why are some technicians willing to cooperate with commercial firms instead of technical departments?

Can it be said that technicians have no dedication?
Call them ungrateful?
Zhu Gaochi never had the idea of ​​kidnapping or restricting technical staff, nor did he think there was anything wrong with technical staff wanting to get rich.

This is the true principle of natural development.

The proletarians want to become property owners, and the property owners want higher demands.

“The original intention of the establishment of the Technology Department is to create research conditions for technical personnel with ideas and provide them with the help they need.”

"Recognize the original intention of the Technology Department." Zhu Gaochi explained to Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu understood what the young prince meant and left the Prince's Mansion happily. He knew what he should do.That means doing nothing.

The technicians of the Technology Department cooperate with China Heavy Industry to research the technology, get bonuses and internal levels.

The technical staff of the Technology Department cooperate with external commercial banks to develop technologies. Whether the technical staff obtains generous funds from the commercial banks or equity capital, there will be no problem.

The challenges faced by China Heavy Industries are definitely all-round.

Under the loosening of Zhu Gaochi, the behemoth that has led the development of industrialization in Beiping for seven years will either catch up with the pace of industrialization or be eliminated.

It will never become an obstacle to the development of productive forces. As for the allocation of social resources and the construction of spiritual civilization, it does not have to be done by China Heavy Industries.

If the market share cannot be maintained with the current size and natural political advantages, it means that it has become an obstacle.

After meeting Xiao Jiu, Zhu Gaochi went to meet Chen Heng, Jin Zhong, Guo Ming and others.

Everyone is waiting in the hall.

"There are so many of us, we are not as good as a technician." Chen Heng said with a smile.

"The young prince values ​​technical staff the most. This has always been the case."

Jin Zhong followed with a smile.

"Young prince, here we come." A guard shouted outside the door.

"Wow."

Everyone hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"sit."

Zhu Gaochi stepped on the wool patterned carpet and sat on the large square chair, with the back mattress of the large square chair pushed down.

On the side table, someone picked up the tea cup from the tea tray, poured tea leaves into it, and then poured hot water into it.

The tunnel using honeycomb briquettes makes the hall very warm and drives away the chill of spring.

The hall has a huge chandelier.

The columns of the hall are carved with exquisite patterns, painted with bright red paint, and equipped with big red curtains. Under the sunlight from the large floor-to-ceiling windows, it looks majestic and magnificent.

After everyone exchanged greetings.

The staff retreated and closed the tall door.

Two clerks in race jackets sat in the corner taking notes.

"The young prince will take a train on his journey south, and will be escorted by the Royal Guards, Shixia Camp, Jinzhou Camp, and the Second Battalion of the Daxing New Army. He will take a ferry on the Yangtze River and finally arrive in the capital."

Jin Zhong said.

"All arrangements for the journey have been started. This is the itinerary."

Zhu Gaochi took it, glanced at it, and put it on the vertical table next to him.

Looking at the eyes of the people present, Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "It seems that there are many people in the north and south who are looking forward to my going south."

Following Zhu Gaochi's words, the atmosphere became heavy.

There are many things that only the young prince can say, and others cannot say them, otherwise it will alienate the royal family. This is politics.

"The imperial troops in Peiping must be transferred away, otherwise I will not go south." Zhu Gaochi said in public.

This would have a bad impact on Zhu Gaochi when it spread out.

Whether it is Beiping or the capital, does Zhu Gaochi no longer want the morale of hundreds of thousands of imperial troops?

"The Forbidden Army is an important force of the Ming Dynasty. We will unswervingly promote the strengthening of the Forbidden Army and safeguard the interests of military households."

Zhu Gaochi changed the topic and said with a smile: "Part of the new army in Peiping was transferred to the capital, part of it went south with me, and the remaining part went to Shandong."

"In this case, don't leave any troops in Peiping. Everyone will be comfortable."

Of course, Peiping does not leave troops behind.

However, as a large number of main forces left, what was left could only maintain local stability and could not cope with war.

Although only a small number of the reorganized dozen or so battalions of the Forbidden Army have been issued new equipment, the rest are still waiting for production in the military factory area.

However, the nearly [-] imperial troops did not come to Peiping empty-handed, and Zhu Gaochi felt uneasy.

Chen Heng and others were not trying to persuade him.

Everyone knows that the young prince is cautious.

Chen Heng was a representative of one side, who believed that the young prince was overly cautious to the point of being unreasonable.

King Yan is the eldest eldest son of the saint, coupled with King Yan's prestige and talent, as well as the victory of the Peking model.

It is already a sure thing that the saint has the heart to store things easily.

In addition to all kinds of things happening, how could the sage go back on his word? It makes no sense.

But Chen Heng knew that he said too much, so in order not to offend the young prince, he did not stick to his opinion.

Everyone is waiting for Zhu Gaochi's plan.

Zhu Gaochi pondered.

Historically, Zhu Yuanzhang died of illness in June of this year.

In fact, I was able to enter Beijing last year.

But he put it off again and again.

why.

Because Zhu Di is in the capital, and he is in Peiping, the father and his son are in the south and the north. The longer it takes, the more benefits will be gained.

If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang's body, Zhu Gaochi would even continue to procrastinate.

After being dragged down, Zhu Di's position was as stable as Mount Tai in the capital.

In order to stabilize the situation in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's health must be considered. In the months before his death, Zhu Di's prestige, that is, Zhu Di's status as the crown prince, should be strengthened.
