The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 538 Guozi: We guide the future of Ming Dynasty
The 33th year of Hongwu.

The headquarters of the Food Stamp Bank has been moved to the capital and operates as an independent system, but it is jointly supervised by the Ministry of Revenue and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"The operation of food stamps has remained stable. In the three provinces of Beipingxing, Daning, Kaixing, and Jinzhou, food stamps mainly replaced copper coins."

"In Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces, food stamps have become the currency used for bulk trade. Even in other places, food stamps are still used in parallel with gold, silver and copper currencies."

"According to the guidance of various theoretical groups of the Research Department, from Peking to the whole country, the issuance of food stamps must rely on gold and silver stocks, and excessive issuance must be restricted. Therefore, in the past few years, the development momentum of food stamp banks has not been as rapid as before."

The annual year-end report is already a headache for the food stamp bank.

Coal industry, iron ore industry, copper ore industry and other mining industries, even lime industry, saltpeter industry and so on.

The resource industry is undergoing great development. Based on this, the chemical industry, iron smelting industry, coking industry, etc. have all achieved considerable development.

Only the development of the food stamp system slowed down, and the Ming Dynasty was short of silver and could not keep up with the development of productivity.

But no one dares to expand food stamps easily. Baochao has learned from the past and no one dares to mess around.

However, the development of industry now requires food stamps to keep up with the situation. The big shopkeepers who have no food stamps to learn from have held countless meetings.

Finally, an enlarged meeting was held, convening capable managers from all over the country, as well as various theoretical groups, as well as sages and scholars in society.

A meeting has been held for three days at the headquarters building of the Food Stamp Bank.

Everyone is exhausted.

But at least the plan for next year is finalized.

"Jingle Bell."

At a bus stop in Beijing, a middle-aged man was wearing a well-fitting Chinese suit, which is similar to an I-shaped suit, but the Chinese suit is more beautiful and retains the freedom of movement of the I-shaped suit.

Stand-up lapels, double placket, five buttons on the front, four patch pockets, three buttons on the cuffs, and no rips on the back panel.

These shapes are very particular, and contain meanings based on Zhou Rites and other contents in the Book of Changes.

The four pockets on the front represent the four dimensions of the country, etiquette, righteousness, integrity, and shame. The cover of the bag is an inverted pen holder, which means governing the country with culture.

The five buttons on the placket are just like the separation of powers in the Ming Dynasty, namely the cabinet, the three departments, the three legal departments, the imperial examination and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The three buttons on the cuffs represent workers, peasants and soldiers.

An unbroken back represents the peace and prosperity of the country.

The collar is designed as a closed lapel, showing the concept of rigorous governance.

Therefore, as soon as the Chinese-made clothing was launched, it was welcomed by the elite. Bank managers such as Zhou Tong basically wore Chinese-made clothing.

Wearing a brown hat, leather shoes, and a black leather briefcase slung around his waist, he is clean and meticulous, just like Zhou Tong's character.

When he was an employee at a food stamp bank, he had a strict personality that valued rules and dared to expose the corruption of his superiors.

Even though he has become a high-level manager, he still follows the steps and queues as usual. He does not choose to outsource the horse carriage to the car dealer for a long time like his colleagues, but always chooses to take the bus.

Sitting upright on the bus, out of tune with the people around me.

Under the planning of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun, the capital city restored the city planning of the Tang and Song Dynasties, with square and square grids.

36 square management system.

Historically, the autonomous system in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was born in advance in the Yongle Dynasty.

The capital is divided into six squares, twelve halls and 36 squares. The 36 squares refer to street communities.

Each community has its own community leader and community committee, elected by the residents themselves, who are responsible for managing the affairs of the community, such as public security, fire protection, disaster relief, etc.

At the same time, the owner of the workshop must also report the situation in the workshop to the superior government and accept supervision.

After His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun tried it out, this system of autonomy was quickly widely implemented in the capital and played a very good role in social management.

The mill system was implemented in cities, while in rural areas, in order to expand the farming area of ​​the agricultural population, the original Lijia system was reformed and eventually developed into a large well system, similar to the well field system of the Zhou Dynasty.

The bus rails are mainly built on straight roads, which pass through each lane.

"Jingle Bell."

Zhou Tong arrived at his destination, got off the bus, came to a restaurant, and booked a private room. At this time, several children were begging.

With the development of the capital, it has attracted more and more people from the surrounding areas.

Countless poor people came to the capital to seek life. Zhou Tong seemed to see the city of Beiping back then, with an influx of people.

He smiled and took out the cents from his briefcase. Each child gave one cent, and all of a sudden nine cents were gone.

The capital is very prosperous.

Children are not prohibited from begging, but patrols on the streets have been strengthened, and public security has not declined.

Until I saw the waiters in the restaurant, there were actually several women speaking unskilled Ming dialect.

His face darkened.

After thinking for a moment, he did not choose to leave. After all, he and his son had made an appointment to meet here again, and it would not be too late to report him after they met.

The waitresses were very respectful, but they did not get a good look from Zhou Tong.

They thought that this customer was not easy to serve, so they did not think too far ahead. They worked hard to serve every customer well and saved the wages they earned.

The shop owner is satisfied, the customers are satisfied, and so are they. In a few years, maybe they can bring their families to Daming.

"Father."

Zhou Chengzhi came in.

Wearing a silk bachelor's uniform similar to the flying fish suit and a big round hat, it is exactly the bachelor's uniform worn by college students.

Zhou Tong's stern face finally showed a smile.

The two father and son actually booked a private room.

at this time.

Zhou Tongcai proved that he is not an ordinary person. His income has exceeded that of most working class people.

Although I booked a private room, the dishes only included four dishes and one soup. The price of the dishes was not enough, so I had to pay extra for the private room.

"There's still one year left until you graduate from college. What field are you considering to pursue after graduation?" Zhou Chengzhi picked up his wine glass and toasted his father.

As the two father and son drank, Zhou Tong asked with concern.

With his son's current status, he can easily work at the headquarters of the Food Stamp Bank even if he doesn't have any connections.

Even his son's identity is more useful than his own face.

Not to mention that although the Food Stamp Bank is an independent institution, new employees also need to take exams. After passing, they will be assigned by the staff department.

Zhou Tong didn't feel he was capable of dealing with it.

According to his discussions with his colleagues, this move raised the threshold for human relations and eliminated most private transactions.

Even their middle and high-level managers were not qualified to intervene, but Zhou Tong never cared.

My son is promising, he is the first batch of college students in a new university, and every unit will be rushing to get him.

Just like the mission of the Ministry of Education, which has been integrated with the Ministry of Rites, the teaching level of the school must exceed the standards of society.

Today’s new universities in Ming Dynasty.

Imperial College in Peking, Imperial College in Beijing.

Recruiting the most talented students of the era, rather than overdoing it, surpassing the educational level of the society, what will be cultivated is a unique son of the country.

"I plan to join the imperial court and continue to study social theory with my mentor."

Zhou Chengzhi's face was full of confidence.

It can be seen that he is learning from his father's calmness, but he is still a young man after all, and he is somewhat flamboyant and proud in nature.

However, Zhou Tong did not criticize.

My son has done a great job.

"The knowledge you learned in college has far surpassed mine. I believe you have your own ideas, and your tutor will also give you advice."

Zhou Tong said cautiously.

"Yes."

"My mentor is not only a professor at the university, but also the leader of the numerical model projection team for social population distribution estimation."

"According to my mentor, we will provide theories for Ming Dynasty's future policies and guide Ming Dynasty's future. It is the greatest cause and is worthy of lifelong learning and struggle."

Zhou Chengzhi became arrogant again and said extremely arrogant words.

"Ha ha."

Zhou Tong couldn't help but smile.

The boss of their food stamp bank often said the same thing. The food stamp system is related to the lifeblood of the country and is the core future of the Ming Dynasty.

However, he did not dampen his son's enthusiasm and took the initiative to pick up a chopstick of food for his son.

Zhou Chengzhi quickly picked up the porcelain bowl with both hands.

"Your sister graduated from middle school. I heard that she had some relationship with a male student in school..." Zhou Tong thought about the precise words.

"Isn't my sister in the girls' class?"

"There are many activities in the school, and the girls' class also often comes into contact with male classmates."

"As long as it's not offensive, doesn't do anything immoral, and is careful about etiquette, let my sister make her own decision."

Zhou Chengzhi thought for a while and comforted him.

"Ah."

Zhou Tong nodded.

The two father and son had a meal in the capital and then parted.

Zhou Tong refused to let his son see him off, so he went to the Workers' and Civilian Union Department and reported the restaurant where he had eaten.

The use of foreign workers violates Ming Dynasty’s employment laws.

Japan and Goryeo.

Only maids can exist and cannot engage in other industries. Merchants who violate the regulations will be severely fined, while foreign female workers will go to jail.

Zhou Tong showed no mercy and ignored the pity of the foreign female workers. After reporting the matter, he took the Beijing train back to the Wuchang branch in Huguang.

The year is over.

The workers are on vacation, and they have to work overtime to prepare for next year's new policy.

"boom!"

Beijing.

The royal family paid for the fireworks show, and colorful fireworks lit up the sky over Peiping. People took part in activities in the city during the Lantern Festival.

The Beijing Comprehensive Stadium was full.

The Beijing Grand Theater was full.

The Beijing Song and Dance Theater was full.

The streets of Beijing are busy with traffic.

Starting today, there will be no curfew in Beijing.

on the street.

The elderly, children, men, women, teenagers, and girls were shopping happily.

Colorful.

Full of laughter and laughter.

"Happy Lantern Festival in Beijing" was painted by a painter, and was eventually purchased by He Kee Trading Company. After being framed, it was hung in the headquarters and became another decoration of He Kee.
