The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 95 Military households and civilian households

"What do you think of what the boss said?"

Zhu Di couldn't digest it.

What the boss said was straightforward and easy to understand, and the truth in his words sounded so true.

but.

Zhu Di had a hard time accepting it.

The point of view that too much food is not good, even though I know that what the boss said is not literal, is still irritating.

"Amitabha."

Yao Guangxiao replied with a Buddhist name.

This is the advantage of being a monk, Amitabha is indecisive when things happen.

Ge Cheng didn't have such an excuse, so he could only hesitate, "Young Master is wise, his thoughts are like the horns of antelopes, which cannot be traced, and cannot be judged by common sense."

The two cronies were like this, Zhu Di was dumbfounded.

"Well, you don't understand either."

"It seems that the son is too smart, which is not a good thing."

This sentence is inexplicable.

How many people hope that their son can become a talent.

Ge Cheng looked at Yao Guangxiao with a wry smile, and Yao Guangxiao also lowered his eyelids.

"In just a few months, the eldest son not only provided 2 taels of silver to the palace, but also supported [-] military households and factory workers."

"I think there are a lot of specialties in the railways built today, not just for coal transportation."

"Eldest Young Master's ability is beyond doubt." Ge Cheng counted them one by one.

Zhu Di glanced at Ge Cheng vaguely.

Railways are certainly not easy.

Did Ge Cheng see through the importance of it?
Regarding the role of the railway, neither Zhu Di nor anyone said anything.

According to the boss.

Railways can bring huge profits.

It will be a business path.

All commodities will be transported by railway in the future, because of the convenience and carrying capacity of railways, the transportation cost of commodities will be pushed to the extreme.

No coercive means.

Any businessman will use the railway.

Because whoever doesn't use it will sell more expensive than others.

this age.

Transportation cost is the largest cost in the price of goods, not only the expenses on the surface, but also the hidden management in various places.

And the railways are all under control.

From the freight rate of the railway to the commodity, the price trend of the commodity can be controlled, and the commercial tax can be collected in a disguised form.

In addition to promoting prosperity, there is also a military role.

After knowing this information, compared with steam engines and coke refineries, Zhu Di actually values ​​railways the most.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent such a lot of trouble, and he would have to bear a lot of pressure to transfer 2000 military households.

But who would have thought that the boss had hidden his hand.

The role of the steam engine is even greater than Zhu Di thought.

Agriculture cannot do without irrigation.

Wherever the canal can be repaired, it can be turned into a fertile field, and the steam engine pump can make the original canal be built farther away from the water source of the river.

The effectiveness suddenly surpassed the railway.

At least Zhu Di thinks so.

But the boss said it was not important.

"In today's game, the eldest son will rise up. To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must be tied. The prince can wait and see how the eldest son solves the game."

Yao Guangxiao finally spoke.

With the time to think, it is clearer than what Ge Cheng said.

"It can only be so."

The method was proposed by Zhu Gaochi, and he explained it in detail, but it was still difficult for everyone to understand, as Yao Guangxiao said.

Several days passed.

The emperor's knife still fell down.

Unexpectedly, it fell on Song Guogong Feng Sheng.

Who is Feng Sheng?

They were the oldest group of people, one of the six founding kings, and the only veterans left in the dynasty.

Both Fu Youde and Lan Yu are juniors in front of Feng Sheng.

"First of all, we need to find out why."

"Secondly, whether to stop here or there will be a next step."

"Finally, inquire about Tianfu's affairs."

Yao Guangxiao took the initiative to ask for orders to visit Yingtianfu again, Zhu Di thought about it, although he knew that this trip would be dangerous to Yao Guangxiao, but he really couldn't bear it.

the last sentence.

It shows that Zhu Di still cares about certain things.

"The other thing is, has the matter about the boss reached Yingtian Mansion?"

Zhu Di is still worried about his son.

The eldest son can speak the truth in a set way in front of him, and he doesn't care about him, but he can't do it with his grandfather.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di suddenly realized.

The emperor likes to preach to others the most. Could it be that the boss has inherited his grandfather's character?

Unfortunately.

In his grandfather's life, he had never experienced anything.

Forged a hard temper.

Good at learning, but the point of view is extremely firm.

Hope people do things according to his ideas, because of his success, he is farther than everyone thinks he sees.

at this point.

The eldest son is similar to his father.

Both believe that they are right and the other is wrong.

The eldest son has a tough temper.

His grandpa has a tougher temper.

"The business that the eldest son is doing is a trivial matter in the eyes of some people, and he has no disputes with others. No one should spread it on purpose, and I'm afraid no one will take it seriously."

"That's good."

Zhu Di said sincerely.

Before the major national affairs, the boss's affairs are not important, but the father is very human, no matter how small the matter is, he will not neglect it.

The energy is really strong.

The eldest brother died young.

It can't be said that he was tired by his father.

Who can be like the father?
Zhu Di asked himself, he couldn't compare.

It's not that I don't have the heart and don't want to endure hardships, but that I have more heart than strength.

"I hope the boss will not cause trouble."

……

A guard is a guard, and a barracks is a barracks.

Guards are local military establishments, while barracks are used to defend against attacks.

The latter recruited from the former, not only soldiers, but also generals.According to the size of the military position, it is recruited from thousands of households of the corresponding level.

Except for military forts and other important places in key places, there are permanent barracks, and the guards take turns to perform military service.

Most of the guards will enter the camp for military service only when they are fighting.

The hereditary ones are only the officials of the guards, not the positions of the military camp. The difference between the two is not small.

For example, the three guards of Yanshan.

When there is no war, the most stable military service in the guard is the hundreds of royal guards, and then the garrison of Beiping City.

These year-round service needs cost less than 2 to [-] people, and military households who do not need to serve in the military work in the guards to farm and practice.

The organization of two thousand military households is equivalent to the establishment of a new battalion in disguise.

In addition to food, there is also a salary of one or two to five dollars a month, which is very attractive to ordinary military households.

Not only did the family lose a pair of chopsticks, but it also gained another benefit.

As for farming.

A larger number of people does not mean more harvest, but the per capita harvest has declined. Therefore, one less person in the family is farming, which has no impact on military households.

Recruiting workers from military households has many advantages.

"This is Zhu Neng, Deputy Qianhu of the Yanshan Middle Guard."

"This is Xu Ning, the manager of the engineering team."

The two are younger than the other.

Zhu Neng was shocked.

He thought that the shopkeeper of the engineering team was at least middle-aged, but he didn't expect the eldest son to be so trusting, and the person in front of him looked several years younger than himself.

Xu Ning is white.

Immediately go forward and salute.

Zhu Neng took the initiative to hold Xu Ning, and said repeatedly, "It doesn't have to be like this."

Zhu Neng has just inherited the position and is young, which is one of the reasons why Zhu Gaochi used him to take charge of the engineering team.

Otherwise, it would be Qiu Fu, who has been in charge of thousands of households for many years.

The guards are in charge of more than 1000 military households farming and training, can they see the stewards of the engineering team in their eyes?

If something really happened, the stewards of the engineering team didn't dare to discuss it with Qiu Fu.

The engineering team couldn't handle it.

"Three days later, two thousand military households will arrive. You must discuss as soon as possible how to allocate manpower and how to cooperate in normal times."

This is Zhu Gaochi's first attempt, so he attaches great importance to it.

Whether it is Xu Ning or Zhu Neng, they are all talents he has carefully selected.

Xu Ning has the lowest status, so he is naturally humble.

"I heard the eldest son mention you very early, and praised you as a talent. You and I are destined to work together for the eldest son today. We don't judge you by your status. Only doing your best to do the errands assigned by the eldest son is considered perfect." .”

"Zhu Qianhu has said this, so I have always offended you. If you offend me in the future, please forgive me."

Xu Ning said bravely.

Everything is imaginary, and the only real thing is to run the engineering team well.

I am a mere white body, and I am valued by the eldest son because I can do things and do things well.

If you take into account so much that the engineering team is delayed, the loss outweighs the gain.

Instead, as long as the engineering team is managed in an orderly manner, instead of caring about anyone, even thousands of households are not afraid.

Two thousand military households, although the employment problem has been solved, who is not worried?

In the future, there will be hundreds of households with thousands of households.

I'm afraid I can't do anything with my hands tied.

"If you can think like this, it's not in vain." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

Industry has developed and is the lifeblood of the country.

If one day, I become the emperor, I will naturally set up an industrial development department and a finance department.

The biggest problem of Ming Dynasty, according to later generations' research on Daming, is the financial problem.

He needs people who do things.

He can't use officials at present, and not many people meet his needs.

Then bring a group of people out by yourself.

The only thing is to lift.

There are three guards in Yanshan, command envoys, qianshi, thousands of households, thousands of households, and hundreds of households. There are many people, but not many can serve in the personal guard battalion of Yanwangfu.

It is precisely because of Zhu Di's meritocracy that a large number of capable people in the guards were promoted to serve in the personal guards.

For example, Zhu Neng in history, and other famous generals.

It was only at the beginning of Jingnan that the conditions for success were created.

Otherwise, Zhu Di would not be able to resist the siege of the palace.

"The engineering team is busy, and some things haven't been decided yet. We might as well finalize everything today, otherwise it will take a few more days."

"Good, we like your style of making quick decisions."

"Is the charter of the military households on the construction site managed by the team leader, or by the military households themselves?" Xu Ning asked.

"What do you think?" Zhu Gaochi asked back.

Zhu Neng looked at Xu Ning.

This person looked calm in front of the Eldest Young Master. Although the Eldest Young Master was kind and friendly, this man was indeed quite courageous.

"The drills should be handled by the thousands of households; the engineering matters should be arranged by the stewards, but they are inconvenient to manage. The military households can nominate the team leaders themselves, and the engineering team can provide technicians to guide them."

The work of the engineering team is ordinary physical work without any technical content.

Work that requires technology has professional people to do it.

Xu Ning thought about it for several days, and felt that this was the proper way.

"That's a good idea."

Zhu Neng looked at it with admiration and immediately agreed.

Military households are always military households, how can civilian households be allowed to stand on their heads.

Even if it is to make money, no one will resist, but it is inevitable that they will feel inferior in their hearts.

On weekdays, in the guard station, hundreds of households are under the supervision of thousands of households. People are convinced that the rules are such that ordinary households can manage them, which will eventually affect morale.

This person's method not only took care of the face of both parties, but also took care of the work of the engineering team, and also allowed a group of military households to lead the team.

No wonder the eldest son valued him so much at such a young age.

As the eldest son said, he is quite talented.

Only then did Zhu Neng let go of the grudge in his heart, and no longer underestimated the other party because he was white.
