Section 1048 Return to Xinfeng

Bidding farewell to the Son of Heaven, Zhang Yue met Liu Jin before he left the palace.

"Greetings Your Highness!" Zhang Yue hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness has entered the palace to meet Your Majesty?" ”

Liu Jin shook his head and said with a smile: "Lone came here to block Aiqing's ......"

"The minister is afraid, I don't know what happened to His Highness?" Zhang Yue hurriedly bowed his head.

"Lone is looking for Qing to go back to Xinfeng ...... together" Liu Jin said with a smile: "Since His Majesty left Beijing, everything in Xinfeng has been painted by Qing before, and now the jurisdiction of Xinfeng has expanded several times, and the officials are looking forward to waiting for Qing to return to plan!" ”

Zhang Yue listened, slightly stunned.

Xinfeng ......

It is true that he has not been back for a long time, and since returning to Beijing, he has been going around continuously, that is, when he returned to Nanling Province, some time was close to the old department that rushed to Nanling from Xinfeng.

However, in fact, it was only a greeting and did not involve specific matters.

If you think about it, it's really time to go back!

So Zhang Yue and Liu Jin took the Taisun Palace car together, and under the escort of hundreds of Taisun guards, they set off towards Xinfeng.

In the afternoon, I rushed to Xinfeng County.

From the window of the palace car, looking at the Xinfeng County, Zhang Yue was a little unrecognizable!

The city has almost tripled in size!

A new city wall is under construction, and countless people and craftsmen, shoulder to shoulder, will bring bricks, stones, bamboo and wood into the construction site.

And after this construction site, in the wilderness before the old city wall, there are now houses standing neatly side by side.

Most of them are simple houses made of bamboo and wood, which are somewhat similar to the workers' apartments of the later Miti.

It is up to the carpenter to make the accessories of the house according to the needs, and then transport them to the place where they need to be built, assemble them, and then decorate them.

These houses are inexpensive, easy to repair, and very flexible.

Palace cars with guards, passing by the road before these buildings.

Zhang Yue heard countless noises of all kinds coming from these simple houses.

The sound of knives and saws, thrashing, spinning wheels.

There was smoke billowing from the chimneys of these houses, and in some of the buildings, it was enveloped in steam.

A drainage ditch runs along the streets and houses, along the terrain, to the Wei River in the distance.

The water in the ditch was black, mixed with countless household wastes, handicraft waste, waste water, and residues from smelting and annealing.

A strange smell filled the air.

Zhang Yue sniffed and couldn't help frowning slightly.

And Liu Jin had already covered his nose and hid aside.

"This is the ...... that began to be built in a month after Qing left Beijing," Liu Jin said to Zhang Yue while covering his nose: "At that time, only some craftsmen and small businessmen who did odd jobs for the workshop garden or contracted parts in the workshop garden lived......

"Later, because the land in the workshop park could no longer accommodate the new and expanded workshops, Chen Xiancheng asked for permission to move the new workshops in the workshop park to this place......

"Which Cheng thought, it has become the current situation...... Liu Jin sighed: "Now, under the original old city, it has been ...... for merchants' workshops."

"Last month, I heard Sang Lingzhi say that next year, the income from the workshop here may have to catch up with Xinfeng City!"

Zhang Yue listened and nodded silently. With mixed feelings in his heart, when he built Xinfeng Workshop Park, he would never have thought that it would be able to develop into the current situation in just over a year.

He couldn't help but remember that last time, when Sang Jun went to Nanling, he mentioned that now there are more than 20,000 employees in Xinfeng Workshop!

20,000 people, in later generations, were no more than workers in a medium-sized, labor-intensive manufacturing factory.

But in this day and age, with 20,000 employees, it is already the top handicraft manufacturing area on the planet.

What's more, they have formed a virtuous circle.

Just looking at the caravans coming and going on both sides of the road, full of various goods, Zhang Yue understood that everything was on the right track.

The seeds that were planted have germinated and grown their first leaves.

Although it is very fragile now, it may die when a breeze blows and cold rain showers.

Although its strength is very small nowadays, it is so small that it is not even qualified to be a fulcrum to pry power.

But, it sprouted after all.

If you give it time and a chance, it could grow into a towering tree!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue knew that it was time to take out the second weapon.

The palace car went all the way forward, and soon entered Xinfeng County and arrived at the gate of the county office.

Chen Wannian, Sang Jun, Hu Jian and others, who had already received the news, took the county officials to greet them en masse.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Grand Sun, greetings to General Ying Yang!" Everyone blamed.

"Qing and other ...... are exempt" Liu Jin waved his hand, and then led everyone into the county office.

The county government is still the same, but some parts have been repaired and renovated, and everything else is exactly the same as in memory.

This made Zhang Yue a little satisfied in his heart.

The satisfaction lies in the fact that Xinfeng's small group did not float up because of the results.

The guest of honor sat down, with Liu Jin at the top and Zhang Yue at the side, and the other bureaucrats sitting on the left and right.

After everyone sat down, Liu Jin said: "The matter of Xinfeng, Gu and the emperor's grandfather have talked about it, and they are still led by General Yingyang, Yinghou, and Zhang Yi in the service, and the three counties of Wannian, Lintong, and Hongmen are the same!" ”

There are no surprises, not even variables.

After Xinfeng produced seven stones per mu, all affairs related to Xinfeng were inseparable from Zhang Zizhong, the initiator.

There is no one else who has that qualification and qualifications to receive Xinfeng.

No one would dare to take over.

There is no way, Zhang Yue's grades are too buggy, and anyone else except him will be ridiculed and questioned by the world.

And as long as there is a year, the yield per mu dives, and it is possible to carry all the pots and be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!

Therefore, even if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were very greedy for Xinfeng, they knew that even if they sent a pig to Xinfeng, they could quickly climb their status.

But no one dared to move.

Because to move is to die!

However, to the ears of Sang Jun and others, this is like a heavenly sound, so they got up one after another, bowed to Zhang Yue, and bowed to the etiquette of the lower officials to meet the upper officials: "The lower officials and others respectfully listen to the general's admonition!" ”

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "All the princes are exempt from courtesy, and in the future, we need all the princes to unite sincerely, assist His Royal Highness the Taisun, and create a great cause together!" ”

"Yui!" Farewell, everyone.

Liu Jin looked at this situation, and also laughed, and said: "Qing will look at the matter of Xinfeng for the time being, and in the future, he will travel with Qing for ten thousand years, Lintong, Hongmen, and then talk about the three counties!" ”

At present, the Xinfeng system has digested Lintong, and this year's wheat sowing, Lintong is acting together with Xinfeng.

And many of Xinfeng's policies have also been copied from the past.

However, Wannian County and Hongmen County have not yet been completely mastered.

But it doesn't matter, with the current attractiveness of Xinfeng and the financial and human resources, Hugh said that if he swallowed three counties, it is possible to have thirty counties.

…………

So, on the same day, Zhang Yue was in the yamen of Xinfeng County, reviewing the affairs inside and outside Xinfeng in the past few days after he left.

Because at the very beginning, a relatively complete financial audit system and record system were established.

Therefore, the corresponding information and documents are readily available.

This was an afternoon, Zhang Yue scanned most of the documents and reports, and with the help of a strong memory, he built a table in the depths of his mind and entered the relevant data against each other.

Then pick up a pen and draw the table on the desk.

After the drawing, Zhang Yue looked at the table in front of him, smashed his mouth, and sighed: "The power of capital is really beyond imagination!" ”

The table shows that after Zhang Yue's departure, Xinfeng's workshop output continued to increase, reaching its peak after the wheat harvest in June!

Curved ploughs, cocoons and even sickles and hoes are all selling well.

The sales area is no longer limited to Guanzhong, but radiates to the counties of the world.

Heluo, Yanzhao, and Qi Chu all have businessmen who come to Xinfeng to buy goods.

Commodities were in short supply, so the merchants continued to expand the scale of production, plus the technology transferred by the Shaofu workshop and the various technologies invented and innovated by each family.

With the passage of time, the technology is skilled, the management is reasonable, and the production cost of various commodities continues to decline.

In particular, the cost of expensive large-scale farm tools such as curved plows and columbs has dropped by half compared with last year!

In other words, even if people in other places have mastered the manufacturing technology of Quyuan plough and columbus in the future, they cannot be the opponent of Xinfeng Workshop in terms of cost!

Perhaps, Xinfeng's workshop can achieve the miracle of killing competitors with other people's cost prices in the future!

And this is the advantage of large-scale, labor-intensive weaving.

Squeeze costs, improve production efficiency, reduce the unit price of goods, ship in large quantities, and sell in large quantities.

Small workshops and small craftsmen who work alone are no match for them at all.

And that's just for now, if technology advances more in the future, machines appear, and the world's handicraft industry will be wiped out!

And now Xinfeng is not only about farming tools and weapon manufacturing.

New branches are also beginning to appear.

Especially with the rise of the wool textile industry, wool workshops also appeared in Xinfeng and quietly grew.

It's just that......

Looking at the table in front of me, the data is admittedly bright.

But there's more to it than just data.

For example, the oppression, exploitation, and enslavement of workers.

Because Xinfeng forbade slaves, the workshop owner could not exploit them by placing a large number of slaves and maids in the workshop, but there were policies and countermeasures.

If the slaves could not do so, they would 'free' the slaves and then sign contracts with them for years or even ten years.

This kind of contract is actually a common contract in later textbooks.

The workshop owners took some money casually, sold off the wages and salaries of the workers for several years, and then perfectly circumvented the supervision of the government.

Nowadays, this model can be seen everywhere in the workshop, and there is even a tendency to become mainstream!

No way!

Merchants are like that, they can sell the rope that hangs themselves with their own hands, as long as it is profitable!

In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, are there still fewer fools who sell their own rope to hang themselves?

But, how many people have learned their lesson?

Successive servants, brave jumpers in the pit, is still in an endless stream.

Now it's also average.

Zhang Yue knew that he had to solve this problem.

Otherwise......

Now, there are only 20,000 hired workers in Xinfeng Workshop Park, and there may be thousands of similar contract workers, which is harmless and can still hold the field!

However, when the number of workers in these workshops exceeds 100,000, 100,000, and the number of contract workers exceeds 10,000, 100,000, hundreds of thousands.

Can you still hold the field?

When the time comes, several men who are exploited and oppressed are miserable, and life is worse than death, get together and discuss.

"If you die now, you will die, and if you make a big plan, you will die, and if you die, what will you do if you die?"

There is another man, who quietly learns the fox in the corner of the workshop garden at night: "Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng!" ”

The two of them lifted the pole, and the beacon smoke would burn all over in an instant.

Moreover, compared to the peasant uprising, the scale of the concentrated revolt of the workshop hired workers may have exceeded imagination at the beginning!

For example, the Spartacist uprising in Europe, which had already passed, almost pulled down the senators of the Roman Senate.

And it was nothing more than a rebellion of a few thousand slave gladiators.

Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, strong workers, who can get weapons on the spot, and get the weapons manufacturing base, if they rebel.

The old Liu family is afraid that they will be driven out of Chang'an City in a second.

At that time, regardless of victory or defeat, this workshop and industry will be regarded as a great enemy by the ruling group, and no one will promote and develop it anymore.

Therefore, the issue of workers' treatment and bonded labor must be solved!

"Chen County Cheng ......" Zhang Yue beckoned to Chen Wannian on the side: "The county Cheng went to inform him, it means that the Japanese general will hold a banquet in the county office, drink with the county gentry, heroes and celebrities in the workshop garden, and discuss the future plan!" ”

Chen Wannian immediately bowed: "No! The next official will go and inform! ”

After Chen Wannian left, Zhang Yue said to Hu Jian again: "County Lieutenant Hu, I have something to entrust to the county lieutenant......

"General, please command!" Hu Jian immediately said.

"Xinfeng Workshop Park is expanding day by day, output, profits, are rich and beneficial to the people, however, the world's affairs, things are not hesitant to stand, although the Han law has "business law" but no "craftsman law" and "work law", I want to ask the county lieutenant for this two law pioneers, first compile Xinfeng's "craftsman rules" and "work rules", in the Xinfeng jurisdiction, so that the public industry and commerce, all have the law to follow, there is a law to follow!" Zhang Yue said with a smile.

This is actually a copy of the "XXX Management Regulations" of the local government in later generations, which is very suitable for use in small places as experimental pilots.

Hu Jian listened to it, but his spirits were uplifted, and he said happily: "The lower official is obeying the order!" ”

If this thing is done, Hu Jian knows that he will make a lot of money.

Moreover, you can also feed back your own school, so that the Legalist forces can have a deeper influence on the main altar and court of the Han family!

Even, directly kick away Huang Lao's gang of weak chickens and take the authority of the Han family's laws alone!

At that moment, Hu Jian hurriedly went out to do things.

Zhang Yue called Tian Shui over and ordered: "Go and ask the workshop to order Ding to come here for me!" ”

"No!" Tian Shui immediately took the order and left.

Zhang Yue put away the form on the desk, and then ordered someone to warm the wine, prepare the snacks, and wait for Ding to come to the door.
