Chapter 74: Sword Casting and Plough Casting (2)

Wei Ze originally wanted to settle Chen Ying-jeou's stay first, but his idea did not come true in the end. |[2][3][][x]}When the meeting of the political commissar of the Ministry of Political Affairs was held, Bi Qingshan, the governor of Guangdong Province, came to Wei Ze and raised the issue of the price of farm tools.

White iron is hard and brittle, and its use in other fields is relatively narrow, but it is very suitable for making agricultural tools. The popularization of white-mouthed iron farm tools is a part of the supporting system of rural supply and marketing cooperatives, and recent rural work has also involved the issue of conscription. Cantonese people don't like to be soldiers, and Guangxi, which is close at hand, has always been a place to send strong soldiers. The so-called Guangxi wolf soldiers, this is very famous. A large number of leaders of the Liberation Army, including Wei Ze, are all heroes from Guangxi. If the issue of crossing is not involved, Wei Ze's "predecessor" is a well-known martial artist in Guangxi, and it is a well-deserved evaluation like a wolf and a tiger.

"The key is the political work of the troops! Politics and work! "Wei Ze has a big head when he mentions this, and the problem of expanding the recruitment of the Restoration Society is now more prominent. In Wei Ze's view, one of his goals for conscription in Guangdong is to basically eradicate the big tobacco dealers and confiscate a large amount of land, so that the land reform can obviously be pushed to a new level. Since the people who were allocated land were included in the system, they undoubtedly had a common interest base with the Governor's Office.

The basis of the political party is the common economic system, and the state is the instrument of class rule, so the class interests represented by the Liberation Society begin to come to the fore. The soldiers of Guangxi are brave and good at fighting, and that's right. But at this time, what the Liberation Army had to do was not to get a group of wolf-like soldiers, and this stage had already passed. At present, what the Liberation Army wants to ensure is precisely "political reliability and military excellence." Military excellence is still behind political reliability.

If the recruits from Guangxi joined the Guangfu Army in large numbers just to make ends meet, Wei Ze really did not have the confidence to carry out a comprehensive ideological transformation of these people when they were serving.

"Governor, do you mean being loyal to the Liberation Society, loyal to you?" Bi Qingshan was a little puzzled by Wei Ze's thoughts.

"Let me put it this way, no matter how much money the Manchu Qing gives you, you will not betray the Restoration Society." Wei Ze said to Bi Qingshan.

Bi Qingshan smiled: "What's the use of the money I want from the Manchu Dynasty?" ”

Weeser was equally frank, "Yes, money is of little use to you. You completely disagree with the system of the Manchus, and you do not agree with the practices of the Manchus. So when you have a problem, you will quarrel with me, you will argue with me. But you won't consider betraying the banner of the Governor's Office. You are far more loyal than those who have come to me for their lives. Because you think that the cause of recovering the Governor's Mansion is also your business. You obey me because you believe that I am more representative of the cause. ”

After listening to this, Bi Qingshan couldn't help but nod again and again, and Wei Ze's words showed Bi Qingshan's true feelings.

Weeser continued: "After the decree was implemented, no matter what these people thought, they all got on our boat. As long as they feel that following us has a result, they will continue to follow us. At this time, they came out to serve as soldiers, firstly, because there are indeed benefits to being soldiers in the system. Second, after becoming soldiers, they can have an identity in the system. Many of them have never seen me at all, and after meeting me, the two sides may not think the same thing. But what I have in common with these people is that I agree with the system of land granting orders. People follow me and have hopes. That's why they are very good at politics. ”

"Dudu, you never seem to care if others are loyal to you personally. It's interesting. Bi Qingshan said with a smile.

Wei Ze knew Bi Qingshan's loyalty, and he personally enjoyed the feeling of leading these heroes with the royal road, so Wei Ze smiled: "What is the use of a person to be subservient to me, it's just a matter of forming a party for personal gain." As long as I represent everyone's interests, then why should everyone betray the cause I lead? Just like the matter of farm tools this time, the reason why I worked so hard is because after the people use farm tools, they can farm better and save more effort. They will collect more grain, we will collect more public grain, and the people themselves will be able to share more grain and suffer less hunger. What do I have to fear about this kind of thing that is good for everyone? Even if some people say that it is a profit. But this kind of profiteering, I openly say that. Everyone understands the reason, and of course they will support it. If I hide these things, I will only fatten a few people. I let the few benefit, but in fact it is precisely the interests of the majority that are harmed. Could it be that everyone in the world is a fool, and if I play like this, others won't understand? ”

Bi Qingshan laughed after hearing this, "Dudu, if you say that, it's true. But if you say that, there will be serious hatred for you. How many people's financial means have been cut off by doing so? ”

Wei Ze nodded, "Someone hates me, I naturally know, that's why I have to strengthen education." What is 政zhì education? Political education is to let the same group of people understand these things themselves, and to know that they cannot seek their own small interests to the detriment of the interests of the majority of people. I can't eat the rice in the pot, and I can't eat the pot for eating. It also depends on the system. Democratic centralism must be well built and maintained. ”

The issue of the land grant order is not a unilateral alms, and Guangdong's dike-pond agriculture is very good, and the mixed cultivation of mulberry fields and sugarcane fields are all joint economies that have taken advantage of Guangdong's natural environment. At the same time, food and cash crops are satisfied. After Weizer made cast iron, the technology of squeezing sugarcane and making sugar driven by the new steam engine was basically completed. Because of the triple juicing, driven by the machine, the iron rod of juicing is much stronger than the traditional process. Weeser is ready to promote it.

Of course, this promotion will undoubtedly meet with strong resistance. First of all, Guangdong's local sugar industry, their technology is backward, and they do not have the scale effect brought by such a vast source of sugarcane as Weize, and the decline of these people is a sure thing.

"I want you to send someone to do a study of how industrial production has irreversibly destroyed the smallholder economy and destroyed the livelihoods of traditional craftsmen." Wei Ze said to Bi Qingshan.

When Bi Qingshan heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Governor, people will only say that we are bullying." ”

Wei Ze shook his head with a stern expression, "That's because other competition will lead these people to completely go bankrupt and lose their jobs, and they will be completely excluded from the new system." Let's not do this, everyone has something to eat, although the original owner has changed from the owner to someone else's employee, there will indeed be a gap in the heart, and there will indeed be discomfort. But the tree moves the dead and the living, as long as we give the way and give the opportunity. They'll understand. Besides, after the sugarcane sugar industry is developed in our hands, it will only need more manpower. We are working on the technology of making zuò alcohol from bagasse. At that time, the new industry will be able to accommodate more people. More people have jobs. ”

"Is industry really that powerful?" Bi Qingshan listened to what Wei Ze said seriously, and he was also a little excited when he asked. Recently, the most popular term in the Governor's Mansion is "industry". After the war between the Liberation Army and the British, the upper echelons began to pay special attention to industry, and there were really open industries, closed steel, and the terms of machinery such as steam engines. Such a group of influential guys care so much, and it is difficult for other departments not to be affected.

"Of course." Weeser affirmed. In the 21st century, a friend of Wei Ze once wanted Wei Ze to go to Guangxi with him to engage in the trade of anhydrous alcohol. Wei Ze still remembered that after reading the information, there was copper content in the anhydrous alcohol test, and he was puzzled. How did the wine make copper, isn't this metal pollution? After reading the information, Wei Ze realized that in order to achieve the process of "no water", copper sulfate is used for dehydration in industrial production. It is to add copper sulfate to alcohol, and use the change of copper sulfate crystals formed after copper sulfate absorbs water to remove water. Wei Ze suddenly realized.

This technology can not only be used in alcohol water removal, but also has a wide range of applications. So Weeser was impressed.

However, at this time, Wei Ze's thoughts only shifted slightly, and he turned back to the current train of thought. After the sugarcane bagasse is fermented to produce zuò alcohol, it is possible to start producing blended liquor in large quantities. Cheap products will always have the biggest market, and with the current consumption power of Guangdong, this blended wine will definitely have a market. Even if the market was not good, Weeser was able to try to make things like "blended rum" and sell them to the British, so that they could sell them in various bases in Southeast Asia. Or they were bottled in glass and sold further afield......

Wei Ze shook his head vigorously, and now he was distracted again. He's been in this situation too many times lately. When it comes to economic exhibitions, even if Wei Ze is not specialized in economics, he has enough knowledge and insight in the 21st century to give birth to too many ideas to make money.

As long as there is a base and an armed force, Weeser has the opportunity to turn these technologies into a lot of money. Wei Ze suddenly appeared, maybe he was changing this era, but this era was changing Wei Ze more quickly. In the 21st century, there are too many masters around, so Wei Ze can still be satisfied with pursuing an intermediate title, trying to mix a senior title, and then live on his own professional knowledge.

But in a world that can be regarded as a blank space compared to the 21st century, doing business with a sword is extremely tempting for Wei Ze. Because there really wasn't any reason why Weeser shouldn't.

Bi Qingshan, of course, did not know that so many thoughts had popped up in Wei Ze's mind in a very short period of time, and he thought that Wei Ze was worried about how to persuade the army to willingly give up the right of priority distribution of the products produced by the steel plant. So Bi Qingshan said: "Governor, I know what you mean, then when the meeting starts, I will talk to the comrades in the army first, and if it really doesn't make sense, you will come forward." ”

"Won't the comrades in the army accept to build farm tools first?" Wei Ze was a little unconvinced, after all, he had already talked to Hu Chenghe about this matter, and he wanted to come to Hu Chenghe to persuade the General Staff.

"We'll talk about it then." Bi Qingshan gave Wei Ze such an ambiguous answer.
