The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 543 Craftsmen are more important than scientists
Zhao Sheng sat in a side room of Wenhua Hall and waited.

When Xiao Huangmen was serving tea, they couldn't help but look at the most powerful butcher. They had all read the newspaper.

Xiao Huangmen, who doesn't know the words, will also hear it from others.

How did he look like an ordinary person and become the strongest butcher? Xiao Huangmen was secretly surprised.

Zhao Sheng could only pretend that he didn't see anything and just drank tea as usual.

There are many rules in Wenhua Palace, but they are full of humaneness. For example, the three urgent rules are not disrespectful behavior.

After a few sips of hot tea, Zhao Sheng felt at peace.

He raised his head and looked at the indoor layout again, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. When he saw the young prince back then, who could have imagined that today would happen.

soon.

Someone came to invite him, and Zhao Sheng quickly followed him. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw Zhu Gaochi.

"Please sit down."

Zhu Gaochi had a smile on his face and was very kind.

The scholar in front of him had suffered a lot recently, and he could only cheer him up mentally, hoping that he would not give up on himself.

Zhao Sheng came up with a new set of data.

As a clerk in the Research Department, and even as an imperial eunuch in the capital, he was responsible for more than just the numerical model calculation team for estimating social population distribution.

"According to the data compiled by the staff below, all new inventions in the past five years, including academic and traditional literati, accounted for 30.00%, and craftsmen accounted for the largest proportion, which increased to 60.00%."

Zhu Gaochi was not surprised when he heard Zhao Sheng's return.

The Industrial Revolution was originally dominated by craftsmen.

The most important inventors have surprisingly similar backgrounds and identities. Almost all of them were apprentices or craftsmen working in factories.

Newcomen was an apprentice ironsmith, John Kaye was a loom maker, Abraham Darby was an ale seller, and Arkwright was a barber and wig maker.

Trevithick was a miner's artisan, Hargreaves and Crompton were spinners, and Henry Cote was a blacksmith.

Watt was the son of a shipbuilder and apprentice.

Of all these inventors, only Watt had even the slightest connection with scientists in the field, thanks to Scotland's informal academic network;
Among the most important inventors, only Edmund Cartwright, the inventor of the automatic loom, had a college degree.

Just as Westerners evaluate the art of circumcision.

The achievements of the circle cutting technique are amazing, but what is the use of calculating so many decimal points? It does not help the development of social technology because it is too advanced.

same.

Science is not the support of the industrial revolution, but the application of technology, and China's application of technology is even more excellent.

really.

Zhu Gaochi continued reading. The inventions of traditional literati were mainly academic, such as mathematics and so on.

Practical application technology is basically invented by craftsmen.

"It can be concluded with certainty." Zhao Sheng no longer felt depressed in the morning, regained his composure, and said calmly: "Industrialized factories encounter various problems in the process of expanding production capacity, so they push the craftsmen to Their drive to solve problems has led to the emergence of new technologies."

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

Zhu Gaochi approved of this theoretical report very much. Compared with the previous theoretical report on population data, although the data and inferences were correct, the method proposed was out of date.

“Therefore, our group concluded that the importance of the Technology Department, at this stage, far exceeds that of the Science and Technology Department.”

"So the next preferential treatment policy should focus on technical departments and craftsmen."

Zhu Gaochi smiled again.

No one is perfect.

Zhao Sheng is excellent at integrating data and making inferences, but he is quite deficient in response.

His overall view and political sensitivity are insufficient.

One of them is to always leave a hole for traditional literati.

"The Technology Department is the cornerstone of the present, and the Technology Department is the source of future development. Both are equally important."

"I believe that everything has a bottleneck. When the application of technology reaches the bottleneck, the only way to break through is technology."

"Technology cannot be built overnight. It requires long-term accumulation and development to provide support for the application of technology."

Zhu Gaochi said instructively.

Zhao Sheng pondered.

If everyone has his or her own mentor, then Zhao Sheng has no doubt that his mentor is His Highness the Emperor Taisun.

"After my subordinates return, they will ask the team members again to deduce a new response plan."

"very good."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

"There is also Xiao Jiu from the Technology Department. He is unwilling to come to the capital. He asked me to tell His Royal Highness the Emperor that more and more craftsmen are being poached by private firms."

Zhao Sheng said.

Zhu Gaochi didn't care.

The future direction of China Heavy Industries is to monopolize basic energy and the country's lifeline industries, while the remaining industries will be competed by China Heavy Industries and private companies.

Zhu Gaochi will never be partial to anyone.

Whoever has strong ability will occupy more market share, and whoever has poor ability will close down. However, the employment system must be controlled under the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Workers' and Civilian Union.

Workers, craftsmen, scholars, etc.

They are not only registered in the Technology Department and the Department of Science and Technology, and receive talent allowances, but also receive protection of their rights and interests from the Ministry of Workers' and Civilian Union.

The purpose is that regardless of whether they are in CHI, or the CHI system, or even the upstream and downstream industrial chains of CHI, or large private commercial banks, their treatment and benefits are the same everywhere.

Provides guarantee for their free circulation.

"When craftsmen leave the state capital where they are located, they need to report to the local government office and register in the new place."

"This is to ensure that the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty do not leave the country, but most areas in the country are open to traffic."

"In terms of talents and funds, we will provide the same support policies to China Heavy Industry System and private commercial banks, regardless of internal or external conditions."

"Therefore, there cannot be any restrictions on where the craftsmen can go or stay."

China Heavy Industries can only provide stability.

In terms of wages, on the contrary, China Heavy Industries should reduce the income gap, narrow the level of people's wealth and poverty, and maximize the promotion of the middle class.

In terms of interests, private commercial banks are more flexible.

Not everyone pursues stability, and the guarantees provided by the Technology Department, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and even the Workers' and Civilian Union Department are equivalent to giving people the confidence to leave China Heavy Industries.

Zhao Sheng understood the thoughts of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun, so he left the Wenhua Palace and began to deduce a response plan based on new ideas. "You have worked hard during this time."

When Zhao Sheng proposed to leave, Zhu Gaochi comforted him.

"It's not hard for my subordinates."

Zhao Sheng finally showed a smile and smiled happily.

Zhu Gaochi didn't say any more.

Zhao Sheng's ability to ask for an audience with him was already his greatest asset, and many officials did not have his privileges.

After leaving Wenhua Hall, it was already noon, so Zhao Sheng went to the kitchen of Wenhua Hall and had a meal.

Wenhua Palace is not just a palace, there are buildings around it.

It is an office area with political functions. There are many functional departments, including the cabinet.

The canteen is huge.

The floor is clean and the desktop is tidy.

In the small yellow gate, officials, coachmen, horsemen, and guards all ate here. The hot water on the dinner plate, which had been boiled for half an hour, still had residual warmth on it.

Four dishes and one soup.

Zhao Sheng finished his meal neatly, handed the plate to the bucket under the atmosphere of many pointing fingers, and then left calmly.

"It's him."

"Yes, the biggest butcher in Ming Dynasty."

"Haha."

The voice coming from behind made Zhao Sheng quicken his pace.

He took the bus back to the Research Department and entered the research room he was responsible for.

indoor.

The morale of the team members was low. Many scholars who were not required to work for a long time had not come for a long time. Zhao Sheng calmed the morale and rearranged the tasks.

It’s time to get off work while busy.

Zhao Sheng got off work as usual and did not choose to eat in the kitchen. He was the first to leave the research department and took the bus all the way back to Fang District.

"Eh."

"Zhao, please don't leave."

Several neighbors looked at Zhao Sheng unkindly.

"Why are you so bad?"

"A stomach full of bad water."

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of what you said?"

Several people were gearing up.

Zhao Sheng was born in a military household and was not afraid of fights. He smiled and said: "I am a military official, receiving a fifth-level talent allowance from the Department of Science and Technology, an imperial edict from the Imperial Academy, and an investigation into Si Qian's affairs."

"Although I don't have a formal official status, please think about it. The consequences of beating me will be serious."

Several people were stunned.

The long list of titles really frightened them. A few of them hesitated and left cursing.

Zhao Sheng smiled and turned around quickly and boredly.

"tutor."

After passing through the alley and returning home, the young Japanese maid opened the door and knelt on the ground to welcome her master home.

After Zhao Sheng entered the room, he saw his students.

"You're back?"

"Ah."

"I compiled a manuscript, so I came back early." Zhou Chengzhi said excitedly: "I thought of a new way to deal with it."

Zhao Sheng's father is in Peking, and his wife and children are also in Peking. He is alone in the capital, with only one maid at home.

At the door, the maid picked up the duster and dusted Zhao Sheng's body, and then took off Zhao Sheng's coat.

Zhao Sheng sat in front of the desk and took the manuscript from Zhou Chengzhi who stood up.

soon.

The Japanese maid brought hot tea from the tea room, knelt down beside the table, placed the tea tray, then stood up, bowed and left.

Zhou Chengzhi’s eyes observe his nose, and his nose observes his heart.

Although the instructor is a military official, he is actually more like a scholar. He is very particular about life and pursues details and perfection.

However, Zhou Chengzhi would not comment on his mentor's personal ethics.

"The large well system ensures the stability of military households and increases their income. In terms of social resources and distribution patterns, military households are the middle class of society."

"It not only ensures the supply of soldiers for the army, but also ensures the quality of the supply of soldiers."

"At the same time, military households have become a major force in social consumption and an important part of the economic cycle system."

"But no one expected that the enthusiasm of the military households was not for consumption, but for the reproduction of future generations."

"Their production materials were not put into society for recycling, but the food was left behind to be consumed by the increased population."

"In the end, just like before the implementation of the large-scale well system, the health system went bankrupt in three generations, and similarly, the large-scale well system will also go bankrupt in three generations."

"How to let them use the remaining materials for consumption instead of excessive reproduction, the students came up with a way."

From Zhou Chengzhi’s perspective.

It is absolutely necessary to have children, but the current military households have too many children, which greatly exceeds the development rate of productivity.

Land production is limited, and the pace of industrial development is also regular.

Having children like this and hiring maids opened Zhou Chengzhi's eyes to how capable the military families were.

As long as there is surplus, they use it all to make a living.

Then who will spend it?

So many mouths consume food. The limited food is used up all at once, and industrial development is also finished.
