The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 562 Zhu Di feels that he has no human rights
"The richest industry in the world is salt merchants, and salt merchants are the richest people in the world."

Wenhua Hall.

"The richest people in the world now are coal merchants, and coal merchants are the richest people in the world." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile: "I found a very interesting phenomenon. The richest people are always the most low-key. In the past, This was true for the salt merchants, and it is also true for the current coal merchants.”

Gao Zhen, the current chief storekeeper of China Heavy Industries, Wang Ben, chief storekeeper of the Coke Refining Head Office, Gao Changfang, chief storekeeper of the southern region of China Heavy Industries, and others did not feel relaxed when they heard the laughter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His Royal Highness the Emperor's Grandson's thoughts are becoming increasingly difficult to guess.

Gao Zhen was full of doubts.

China Heavy Industries was founded by His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun. Logically, it should receive the full support of His Highness the Emperor Taisun. However, the actual situation is that China Heavy Industries is constantly being split up and adjusted.

Gao Zhen is often confused. Compared with Peiping back then, the current situation is too complicated and the size of China Heavy Industries is too large.

"With the coke industry and iron smelting industry that we control, the coal industry can never be separated from the control of China Heavy Industries." Gao Changfang said confidently that they are the largest customers in the coal industry.

Zhu Gaochi shook his head.

He could issue an order to directly take back the salt shop, but this was not appropriate.

The truth is to be told.

"There are many coal mines in Sainan Province, but the mining environment is worse than that in Shanxi. As for Saibei, the climate is too harsh, working hours are short, and production costs are high, so Shanxi has been watched by them."

"If the imperial court is willing to use Shanxi's mining rights to replace their salt mining rights, brothers Feng Shengzhi, Du Song, Han Ce and Han Song will all be willing to let go."

Gao Zhen explained.

Zhu Gaochi thought for a moment and finally relaxed.

Release the coal mining rights in two areas of Shanxi and make exchanges with those salt merchants.

In the future, the production and sale of salt will be undertaken by China Heavy Industry.

Originally, Zhu Gaochi planned to leave Shanxi's coal mines to future generations, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't overdo it. As for Australia's mineral resources, the costs brought by today's navigation technology are too high.

At least until the day when the steam engine and ship manufacturing industry covers all shipyards and the rivers and seas are filled with steam engines and ships, the ocean transportation trade of cheap minerals can be profitable.

"How is Zhang Dehui's health?"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly asked.

Everyone thought that His Royal Highness the Grandson was concerned about the health of his old friend. Gao Zhen said with a smile: "Dong Zhang's family is enjoying their old age in their hometown. They don't care about foreign affairs. They live a comfortable life with a glow in their faces."

"I heard he got sick the year before last."

"I was sick for a while, but I got through it."

Zhu Gaochi pondered.

Zhang Dehui was the first businessman to cooperate with him, and he was actually the first-generation boss of China Heavy Industries. The coal industry was his old profession.

The richest person in the world may not be him, but among the richest people, there must be the Zhang family.

Capital and powerful people are different.

The powerful are demoted.

Downgrading one level means downgrading one level.

Capital is different.

A few percent less capital will only reduce the capital, but the regeneration speed of wealth will not be affected. The power of capital is still that powerful.

That’s why later generations have a maximum inheritance tax standard of 50.00%.

This standard is not formulated haphazardly, but after full consideration of the restrictions on capital and the redistribution of social resources.

Many people in later generations don't understand.

Why should businessmen hand over so much money they earn themselves?

Because the money he earns comes from society, he must be managed by society to ensure the continuation of society. It is also the obligation of everyone. No matter what he thinks in his heart, he must obey the reality.

Ordinary people occupy few means of social production, and society needs to protect the interests of ordinary people. If they occupy more means of social production, social resources must be redistributed.

Ancient courts and officials often curbed land annexation, which was also a means of controlling interest classes to expand the means of production.The same goes for the reduction of honor.

China's long agricultural social civilization has made great progress in all aspects, but it is limited by productivity and cannot solve the root cause.

Just like during a war, even if you don't want to go to the battlefield, when society needs it, you can't help yourself.

War at home and abroad in ancient and modern times are proof of this.

same.

Later generations of big capitalists in the United States used various means to transfer assets to avoid high inheritance taxes, which shows that the American system is corrupting, which is the same phenomenon as the failure of land annexation control in ancient Chinese agricultural societies.

In an agricultural society, it is the landlords who control the means of production, while in an industrial society, it is the capitalists who control the means of production. There is no difference in principle, only the difference in productivity.

Uncontrolled capital, like uncontrolled landlords, brings harm. Because capital is more efficient due to concentration than landlords, the speed of harm will also be greater and more difficult to resist.

Although he had a clear understanding, Zhu Gaochi did not dare to bring it up easily, and did not reveal the slightest bit of news to the outside world.

He is already an enemy in the eyes of big business owners, and his reforms have offended too many forces.

In the past two years, the country has begun to replace itself with the cabinet to attract the firepower of the opposition. The effect is effective, but not great. The label of industrialization has been tied too deeply to itself.

When it comes to industry, the first thing people think of is His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun.

Moreover, given the current development order of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaochi did not want to cause chaos, so he was waiting for a good opportunity.

I hope this old friend Zhang Dehui lives two more years.

Zhu Gaochi thought to himself.

Day two.

Zhu Gaochi personally greeted Zhu Di.

Zhu Di took the train and arrived at Yingtianfu Railway Station.

The streets of the capital were crowded with people, holding flags high and cheering, as the great Crown Prince returned in triumph.

His Highness the Crown Prince's great achievements have conquered the hearts of a large number of people.

The power and glory of the Ming Dynasty surpassed all means of persuasion.

"His Royal Highness is mighty."

People shouted.

"Long live Daming."

Students held flags and chanted.

The broad straight road was crowded with people, and nearly [-] Beijing soldiers ensured order and safety.

Zhu Di, who was in the carriage compartment, heard the "waves" rising higher and higher outside, and his mouth was full of smiles. He was either on the way to fight or on the battlefield. Who knows the hard work involved.

The soldiers are working hard, and my son feels sorry for the soldiers and takes turns to rest.

On the other hand, I am a non-stop person who has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles over the years.

When someone else is a prince, you should also be a prince.

While he stayed in the capital, he traveled all over the country.

Zhu Di was sometimes surprised as to what he was doing and why it was so difficult.

"We should also go to the Workers' and Civilian's United Department to register our name, and be protected by the Workers' and Civilian's United Office. We have no human rights at all." Zhu Di used the words he said in various vassal states and applied them to himself.

"hey-hey."

Zhu Gaoxu giggled.

The Workers' and Civilian United Ministry listens to the eldest brother. My father wants to put his name on it. Can the eldest brother agree?
