Chapter 487: Difficult Reforms
The magnates in the entire capital are a relationship network, many magnates have in-law relations with each other, once they join forces to deal with Guo Zhiyuan, then Guo Zhiyuan will have a headache, this is no better than when Guo Zhiyuan was in Dongfan, the emperor was far away, so when Guo Zhiyuan was in Dongfan, in order to save Leng Xianning, even Zhu Gongfang, the son of King Zhou, dared to fight, but now that Guo Zhiyuan is in the capital, it is equivalent to being in the middle of this relationship network, and it will not work so brutally.
Zheng Guozhu saw that Guo Zhiyuan frowned and didn't speak, knowing that he was also in trouble, so he persuaded: "My lord, this capital is not as good as the place, and the relationship is complicated, let's just say that our Ministry of Industry Yamen, among the officials at all levels, the protΓ©gΓ© of the elder of the pavilion, the same year of Shangshu, the relatives of the prince, and the brother-in-law of the imperial envoy, abound, and the lower officials know that the adults are bent on innovation and disadvantage, but they still can't do it brutally, just and it is easy to break, and they can only be slowly ......."
Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand and said in a deep voice in an unquestionable tone: "The official who investigated this is definitely going to investigate to the end!" The Ordnance Bureau is the most important weapon of the country, how can these rats be allowed to stretch out their hands wantonly? Lord Zheng has also seen the current situation of the Ordnance Bureau, if he doesn't use thunder means, how can he deter these people who dare to reach out to the Ordnance Bureau? This official must not only investigate, but also reorganize the Ordnance Bureau, and expand the scale of the Ordnance Bureau tenfold, so that the Ordnance Bureau will become a real national heavy weapon! β¦β¦β
Zheng Guozhu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said dumbfounded: "Big... Adults are going to... Expansion of the Ordnance Bureau... Expand ten... Ten times?! This... This requires silver... Silver two can be... It's not a small amount, such as... Now the treasury is empty, and even the army... The military salary cannot be allocated on time, this silver... Where does the money come from? β¦β¦β
This is also another headache for Guo Zhiyuan, although Dongfan is rich, but he can't use Dongfan's money to fill the deficit of the Ordnance Bureau, which will only drag Dongfan down, he is not arrogant enough to think that he can fill this bottomless pit by himself, even if he really uses his own money to paste it upside down, it will only be thankless, which makes people suspect that he has other intentions.
Therefore, in order to reorganize the Ordnance Bureau, it is necessary to let the Ordnance Bureau have self-sufficient profitability, as the so-called teaching people to fish is better than teaching people to fish, only when the Ordnance Bureau has self-sufficient profitability, can it enter the track of benign development, so that in the future, even if Guo Zhiyuan leaves the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, the Ordnance Bureau can continue to develop.
At this point, Guo Zhiyuan actually had a general plan before he came, and he was ready to refer to some practices of the restructuring of modern military enterprises, so that the Ordnance Bureau could participate in the field of civilian manufacturing, because the greatest value of the Ordnance Bureau was in the brand of "Ordnance Bureau", just like the modern military enterprises, the people would have a sense of trust with excellent quality, so that it was easy to form a brand effect, and with a brand effect, it would be easy to make money.
Guo Zhiyuan is ready to take out the production technology of the four-wheeled carriage as an intangible asset into the Ordnance Bureau, the four-wheeled carriage can not only be used for the transportation of military materials, but also can be used in the civilian field, before Guo Zhiyuan authorized the manufacturing technology of the four-wheeled carriage to Sun Chuan's carriage and horse dealership, but the influence of the carriage and horse shop is limited after all, so the four-wheeled carriage is now only used in the southern region, and has not been promoted throughout the country.
This is like many modern military enterprises transforming into the production of automobiles, and they will soon be able to turn losses into profits, not to mention that Guo Zhiyuan does not have to worry about competition at all, as long as the four-wheeled carriage manufacturing technology is used as military technology, the Ordnance Bureau can easily achieve monopoly, if this is the Ordnance Bureau can not make money, it will be really hell!
But now the biggest problem is that Guo Zhiyuan's idea is too advanced, even in modern times, the restructuring of military enterprises to civilian manufacturing has encountered great resistance, not to mention the implementation of such a reform in the Ming Dynasty, Guo Zhiyuan can imagine that as long as he puts forward this idea, he will be sprayed to death by the ministers of the court.
No, Guo Zhiyuan just tentatively mentioned this idea to Zheng Guozhu, Zheng Guozhu was shocked, and hurriedly dissuaded: "My lord, don't do it!" Since ancient times, the country does not compete with the people for profit, and it is too shocking for adults to do this, and the court will never allow it! β¦β¦β
Guo Zhiyuan frowned and retorted: "How can this be a competition for profit with the people? Ordinary people can't afford to use carriages, and those who can afford carriages are powerful and wealthy businessmen, these people are rich and unkind, and they earn silver from them to subsidize the Ordnance Bureau, which is beneficial to the country and the people, why can't they? β¦β¦β
Zheng Guozhu didn't know how to refute Guo Zhiyuan, but he still shook his head again and again, and said with a wry smile: "The lower officials know that your lordship is for the sake of the country, but the ministers of the DPRK and China will not think so. β¦β¦β
Guo Zhiyuan patted his forehead with a headache, yes, in the end, he is not the leader of the Ministry of Industry, and he is bound to be constrained when he starts to do things, even in modern times, if you want to implement a beneficial reform initiative, if you don't get the support of the top leader, you will definitely not succeed in the end!
Thinking of this, Guo Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, one hand! Who is the number one in this era? O Emperor! As long as he can convince the Emperor of the Apocalypse to agree to his plan, then his idea of reorganizing the Ordnance Bureau can be implemented! And with the support of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he doesn't have to worry about the magnates in the capital looking for trouble!
Guo Zhiyuan jumped up excitedly and confessed to Zheng Guozhu: "Lord Zheng, you keep an eye here first, and the official will go out for a ......" After speaking, he left the stunned Zheng Guozhu without looking back!
Sitting in the carriage, Guo Zhiyuan hurried to the palace, all the way thinking about how to convince the Emperor of the Apocalypse, although the Emperor of the Apocalypse now trusts himself, but if he directly tells him about the reorganization of the Ordnance Bureau, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will most likely not agree, even if he agrees now, when the ministers collectively oppose it, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will not be able to continue to unswervingly support himself under the pressure of the collective opposition of the ministers, but will have a bad impression of himself, thinking that he is taking advantage of his trust in himself, This is counterproductive!
The only way is to find a way to bring the Emperor of the Apocalypse to the scene of the Armaments Bureau, so that he can understand the current bad situation of the Armaments Bureau, and understand the harm to the country if the Armaments Bureau is allowed to be corrupt like this, so that the Emperor of the Apocalypse can willingly support himself unswervingly under the pressure of the collective opposition of the ministers!
