The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 561 Competition for the Leader

"Of course the arms dealers hope that the Ming Dynasty will continue to fight. If the wars in the world are not over, they will not be able to make enough money."

Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Gaochi laughed on the spot when he heard the suggestion from the Military-Industrial Joint Office and the Military-Commercial Joint Office.

Arms dealers learned that Ming Dynasty had ended its war in the Central Asian Peninsula due to economic problems. They rushed to donate money and were even willing to lower prices to supply the army, shouting the slogan that Ming Dynasty's interests would not be harmed in the slightest.

It can be said to be touching.

But Zhu Gaochi knows what the arms dealers do better than they do.

"With the economic development of the Ming Dynasty, the military must keep up with the development, but it will never be tilted only for arms merchants. Instead, it will be based on the overall development of the Ming Dynasty. Any group or force must follow this and submit to the overall situation of the country."

Yang Shiqi, Huang Huai, the Minister of Hubu, the Ministry of Industry, the Military-Industrial Joint Office, the Military-Commercial Joint Office and others were all there.

The interest class can never be eliminated.

China Heavy Industries itself is also an interest class, and it is a larger interest class than private forces.

Regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, there will always be interest groups in any system. Zhu Gaochi knows that it cannot be changed and will not change it. This is the inevitable development of things.

In later generations, when some people were in the common people stage, their position was that of the common people. When they became prosperous, they immediately forgot about their original class and started to speak for their own interests.

The children of common people who took the imperial examination and became officials also changed their stance.

The dragon slayer eventually becomes a dragon.

When a girl was studying, she shouted to fight for the motherland. When she became famous, she immediately immigrated abroad and became a foreigner.

Many people laugh and don't understand.

it's actually really easy.

Because her identity has changed and she is no longer just an ordinary citizen.

Only the independent field remains unchanged.

People should not worry about other classes, they should be concerned about their own interests.

Just like a couple in later generations who bought a lottery ticket and quarreled to the point of divorce because they fantasized about how to divide the money after winning 500 million.

So when you are still a common person, you must stand upright.

In external conflicts, the people can only hope for the good of the country, which is best for themselves. In internal conflicts, the people should stick to their own interests and fight against other forces.Because ordinary people, unlike other classes, have more resources to resist risks and even continue to live in a new land.

The ancients understood the truth long ago.

In the late Ming Dynasty, with the birth of the petty bourgeoisie, many market thoughts emerged.

Every time a dog is slaughtered for justice, it is mostly a sentence of a scholar, and there are many such sentences.

The most patriotic people are always the common people.

This is not about anyone being more sentimental than anyone else, it is also about one's own interests.

Worrying about the affairs of other classes is something you should worry about when you are separated from the common people. Otherwise, you would be as stupid as that couple.

The development of industry in Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty's national power is increasing, and the people's pockets are increasing. It also makes the strength of various interest groups increase much faster than the people, because their resources and capital are more concentrated, which is inevitable.

Just like the Heji Trading Company, it only had a small amount of capital at the beginning. In less than ten years, it has become a wealthy country on the Central Asian Peninsula.

There are not many companies as large as He Kee Trading Co. in China.

The coal bosses kept a low profile, as if they couldn't hear their voices, but Zhu Gaochi never ignored them.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Xu Ning.

Xu Ning took a step forward, "The Railway Engineering Headquarters has established the Jiaozhi Railway Construction Group, but there are still a lot of disputes about the employment system."

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

"The Ming Dynasty is a whole. The military industry cannot kidnap the economy of the Ming Dynasty. In the war in Jiaozhi, the military industry merchants have already got what they want. They must be satisfied and not have unsatisfied desires." Knocked on the Military-Industrial Joint Office and the Military-Business Joint Office .

Zhu Gaochi continued: "The development direction of Indochina is back on track. Large-scale infrastructure construction promotes large-scale development and improves social productivity. However, there are already 50 railway projects in the country. If it continues to expand, it will be detrimental to the economic system of the social resource allocation model. .”

Zhu Gaochi felt a little regretful.

He also wants to reach the number of railway workers that accounts for 160% of the population, which is up to [-] million railway workers.

The 160 million railway workers and the families behind them have brought millions of consumers to the industry, and it is just one industry. The huge economic demand system of the Ming Dynasty was created through the social resource allocation system.

However, current social productivity is limited by the efficiency level brought by technology, making it impossible for him to achieve this goal.

In short, we cannot take too big a step. Even if the Ming Dynasty has already taken a big step in this era, it is nothing compared to future generations. What it will bring is the bankruptcy of the planned economy, the worthlessness of food stamps, and the rise in commodity prices. Take off.

"Many of the population in southern Cochin support the Cochin rebels. They have not obtained the Ming Dynasty's place of origin and do not belong to the Ming Dynasty. Since they do not belong to the Ming Dynasty, they should not be protected by the interests of the United Ministry of Workers and People."

Yang Shiqi guessed what Zhu Gaochi was thinking and stepped forward to propose his plan and ideas.

"After the recovery of Jiaozhi, according to the latest statistics, there are more than 270 million people with Ming ancestry. The non-Ming ancestry population is estimated to be between 80 and Champa City has a population of about 50, of which less than [-] are Chinese. "

Not all of the more than 270 million Ming people in Jiaozhi are Chinese.

There are also some tribes at the junction of Yunnan and Guangxi, some tribes related to the local chieftains, as well as the local non-Chinese population that supports the Ming army, as well as the surrendered army, the former Annan soldiers who fought for the Ming Dynasty, etc.

Since you recognize the Ming Dynasty and have made contributions to the Ming Dynasty, you must repay them.

The Ming Dynasty’s birthplace is the best reward.

Because the current Ming Dynasty is the most civilized super country in the world.

"Chancheng selects craftsmen, scholars, educated people, local Chinese, and even people who have contributed to the stability of the region for the Ming Dynasty within 40, and the remaining [-] are not given to the Ming Dynasty."

When Yang Shiqi said this, many people already understood what he meant.

"So the Railway Engineering Department can absorb local non-Ming workers and provide them with a certain level of living security." Yang Shiqi said calmly.

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

Capital without control over its head will eat people. It has a greater appetite and stronger digestion capacity than the traditional landlord class.

Since they are not protected by the Workers' and Civilian Union, you can imagine how bad the working environment will be.

In later generations, the railways will probably eat people.

In the railway construction work on the Central Asian Peninsula, the harsh environment and high-intensity obstacles, coupled with the lack of interest protection, destined something to happen.

"The climate conditions in Jiaozhi are good, and the land can be harvested three or even four times a year. However, it is not easy to promote agricultural machinery, and today's agricultural machinery technology cannot solve the problem. Therefore, the Jiaozhi area needs tenant farmers. The large number of non-Ming people are just right. Supplement to the local economy.”

After listening, Zhu Gaochi sighed inwardly.

If scholars become bad, no matter what era they are, they will definitely be the worst.

Yang Shiqi has worked out a lot.

Such bad people should not be left in the country. "The Xuanweisi and vassal states in Nanhai are huge and difficult to manage. Zhu Neng stayed in Jiaozhi to be in charge of the army, and Huang Fu was in charge of Jiaozhi's production. I also want to station a battalion of the new army in Laos and send people to the local area to form Nanhai Xuanli Zonghan is responsible for general and specific affairs."

Zhu Gaochi looked at Yang Shiqi.

Yang Shiqi was startled.

For a moment, he didn't know whether it would be beneficial or not. Leaving the imperial court and going abroad was a big deal and related to his own future. Yang Shiqi calculated the pros and cons and made a decision in an instant.

"The minister leads the order."

In a small space.

The deliberations of less than ten people, in half an hour, decided the future of millions of people.

This is power.

The newspaper industry was always in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Tabloids emerged among the people, but they were not recognized by the government. They were private activities and could only be circulated on a small scale and could not be sold in the market.The four major newspapers are the technical newspaper, the social newspaper, the daily life newspaper, and the miscellaneous newspaper, and a new current affairs newspaper has been launched.

Because Beiping Province and Yingtianfu have a population of 600 million, and the economic level exceeds that of other provinces, there are also Beiping Local News and Yingtianfu Beijing News.

"The number of railway workers in the Ming Dynasty has reached 60."

"According to the plan of the Railway Engineering Headquarters, in the next stage, the railway construction project will be expanded in the interior provinces, and a large-scale railway project plan will be built to connect prefectures to prefectures, prefectures to prefectures, and ensure connections between prefectures and prefectures. In the next five years, [-] kilometers of railways will be built. railway."

“This planned economic plan supported by the imperial court will comprehensively promote the development of various industries, directly stimulate the coal industry, iron ore industry, lime industry and other mineral industries, drive the coke refining industry, iron smelting industry, and indirectly Stimulate various iron factories, lumber factories, animal husbandry, breeding industry, etc."

Various restaurants in the capital, such as the China Heavy Industry Jingcheng Restaurant, Baiwei Restaurant Jingcheng Headquarters, etc., as well as the time-honored restaurants in the capital, are rising one after another, one after another is prosperous and tall, and steam engines no longer use stairs to go up and down. It's something new.

The opening of the first racecourse in the capital, the second world Cuju competition, the bamboo ball competition in the capital, and the restored folk groups of the Song Dynasty, such as the archery club competition, etc., made Yingtian Mansion lively and the social atmosphere became fanatical and passionate.

China Heavy Industry Capital Restaurant.

It has been semi-contracted to foreign countries. The fifteen-story building has a huge water tank on the roof. Among the spray groups on the square, a huge monolithic stone was transported from Guizhou at a huge cost and was made by master craftsmen with superb skills. , with their apprentices, carved into the appearance of the mythical heavenly palace.

The water sprays to high places and falls from the air. With careful calculation, it falls accurately to the required place, forming a unique mountain flow. In line with the Tiangong complex, each god is as big as a grain of millet and has a vivid appearance. , you can even see it with your fingers.

It has become the most famous building of the China Heavy Industry Capital Restaurant, which has raised the quality of this place to the extreme.

The name is still called China Heavy Industries, but it is no longer a place where workers can spend money, at least in the restaurants here in the capital.

Zhang Dehui's son, Zhang Xiancai, is in the lobby on the fifteenth floor that is not open to the public.

Beside the floor-to-ceiling glass window, Zhang Xiancai was holding a wine glass, looking at the capital in trance.

The street downstairs was busy with traffic.

Two or three-story residential buildings were connected together to form square districts, extending out one after another. Then there were other buildings with more than ten floors, blocking his view.

Even so, he could still see the skyline.

The further you look outside, the more traditional houses you see, forming two worlds.

Only in the direction of the imperial city.

The buildings in the old capital city are crowded and there is no land for new buildings. This also has some unspeakable meaning. The buildings are all built in the new urban area outside the old capital city.

Dozens of businessmen, everyone is very low-key.

Businessmen like Zhang Bo and Wang Ren are not here.

A shopkeeper in Chinese uniform, with every part of his clothes ironed to a smooth finish, gave off a sense of meticulousness. From his clear words, the merchants could hear the message from the court.

“The conditions for coal mine development in Shanxi are too restrictive.”

Feng Shengzhi, who had gained weight again, had a big belly and struggled to sit in the wide chair.

"His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor wants to leave a legacy for future generations."

Hearing the complaints from his old colleague and competitor, Zhang Xiancai turned around, left from the glass window, walked to the table and smiled.

The coal mines in Shanxi Province have good quality, large reserves, and mining conditions are the best in the Ming Dynasty. After long-term exploration by the Exploration Department, it has become a consensus among people.

"There are so many coal mines that it will take many generations to dig them all. We can't just focus on the future and ignore the present." Someone said dissatisfiedly, "His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun said it himself, based on the present and looking to the future."

Dozens of big bosses from coal mining firms gathered in the capital.

They are the richest businessmen in the world.

With the development of industrialization, they reaped the biggest dividends. In ten years, the capital of each business bank has become as rich as the country, and they are very low-key.

"The salt industry must be nationalized."

Zhang Xiancai looked at Feng Shengzhi and others with a smile.

These foreign businessmen relied on Yanben's abundant funds to move into Peking. Even his father found it difficult to resist them. They were their enemies in the eyes of Peiping circles and ate up the benefits that originally belonged to them.

Many people's faces turned dark.

The salt industry is going to be nationalized and belong to China Heavy Industries. Salt merchants like them have heard the news.

"We are being targeted, and you are laughing at us today. If we are targeted tomorrow, who will be the one to laugh at us?" Feng Shengzhi, the fat man, said in an understatement.

Compared with Zhang Dehui, the younger generation in front of me is still short-sighted.

Feng Shengzhi despised him in his heart.

Zhang Xiancai was stunned.

The people around became quiet and looked at Zhang Xiancai. This man relied on his father's prestige to become the leader of the Peking Business Gang.

"Do you dare to oppose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Zhang Xiancai asked in a low voice.

The rest of the group grew restless.

Feng Shengzhi shook his head.

"There is no one who can oppose His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince. All of us together are not enough."

"Then?"

"For the development of our entire industry, we salt merchants can give up our old business. As long as His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun agrees to relax the restrictions on coal mining in Shanxi, it can be regarded as compensation."

Feng Shengzhi said calmly.

really.

As Zhang Xiancai finished speaking, people's faces became filled with admiration. Even those who were not convinced by him at first had their impressions changed in their hearts.

What is the leader?
Why is everyone convinced?

Zhang Xiancai gritted his teeth.

If Feng Shengzhi really did it, even if he would get the credit, the huge benefits would not allow him to object, but he was full of annoyance in his heart. Zhang Xiancai was hesitant whether he should ask his father to come forward or not. He felt that he could do a good job. .
