Chapter 816 Group of Companies

Wang Dependents were originally a small village not far east of the Yongxing River, only because of the Battle of Yongxing, Wang Dependents became a place for the families of King Qin's army, especially the magnates at all levels at that time with concubines, because of the convenient geographical location of the royal dependents, they were all placed here.

After the establishment of Yongxing City, the Black Turban Army retreated to Xianxi County, and the logistical significance of the royal family was lost, but the development of Yongxing City made the royal family a logistics distribution center.

At the same time, Yongxing City must have an outpost to sell goods to the outside world, and Wang Dependent has ready-made geographical conditions, so it hit it off, and Wang Dependent has become a "small commodity market". The supply of goods in Yongxing City is piled up in the king's family, and merchants from other places negotiate business here to handle the handover.

After 20 years, although the population of today's royal family is not large, it is a treasure land where rich people and nobles gather, known as "Xiaoyiling", and over time all walks of life are booming, and this gambling is one of the major money-making industries.

After Bailiyan came to power, the cancer of rampant gambling was basically curbed, and the number of gambling houses in Chenling did not increase in ten years. At the same time, for special places such as gambling houses and brothels, a permit filing system is implemented.

In 642, the generals of the Great Seal and the Great Reward all got a lot of settling-in expenses, and saw the wealth and prosperity of Chenling, and the generals gradually had a sense of comfort and pleasure in their hearts, so some people bought real estate in Chenling, and some people chose to settle down in the king's family to "enjoy life", and Huang Che opened a gambling stall in the king's family.

One is that his nature does not change, and the other is that Bai Liyan instructed him to open a gambling house in Wang Juan, because it was the time when the tax law was being repaired, Bai Liyan intended to include gambling houses and brothels in the profiteering industry to implement a comprehensive tax, so he acquiesced to Huang Che in Wang Juan's collection of funds to absorb the generals, and partnered to make the casino bigger.

Although the city is small, its capital density should not be underestimated, especially the magnates of Dongyuan, Suidang, Beihai and Jiangdong counties, who all participated in King Qin, after the rise of Yongxing City, they ate the dividends of Yongxing trade, and their family background was not only rich.

Opening up the gambling industry will not only turn it into a gold cave and break the will of the powerful to resist, but also turn the royal family into a new city integrating entertainment and consumption, and increase additional revenue for the national treasury by imposing heavy taxes on gambling.

Therefore, in the past few years, Bailiyan has successively opened a racecourse, cockfighting, bullfighting, and pilot lottery inside and outside the city, and also let Yongxing City manufacture professional gambling equipment for the use of the king's family.

As a result, the group of generals headed by Huang Che amassed countless fortunes in just a few years, not only eliminating the harm of most of the generals, but also returning most of the funds that had been recruited to surrender and rebel to the country to promote economic circulation and increase the treasury's finances and taxes.

Now that there is a vicious incident of shortages and shortages, Huang Che's losses will not be less, and if he doesn't do it well, he may lose money.

appeased Huang Che, Bailiyan first sent him back to the king's family, and let people inform the county government of the king's family, before the official introduction of the solution, Huang Che's gambling house was temporarily taxed according to two catties, not counted.

Just after arriving at Yongxing, the small workshops outside the city roared constantly. The rapid development of the commodity economy gradually gave way to the function of the city from military defense to industrial development.

Previously, the castle was mostly used to protect economic and political objectives, and the main core workshops and political bureaucracy were located in the city, even in other vassal states, and this pattern is still maintained today. However, after 20 years of reforms, the function of the city has undergone a fundamental change.

Due to the rapid increase in productivity, the city walls constrained the land in the city, and the most important feature of the commercial, industrial, and service industries was the diffusion of administration and infrastructure as the core.

At the same time, the development of commerce has increased the tide of urban land, and many workshops in urban areas are tempted by the lure of huge land transfer fees, so they naturally have the incentive to move out of urban areas, so as to obtain land transfer fees to re-purchase homes and expand production capacity in the periphery where land prices are cheaper.

As a result, commerce was concentrated in the city, and the largest production industries moved to the surrounding areas, until the price of land in the surrounding areas of the city also rose, and finally there were many manufacturing workshops outside the city walls.

Yongxing City is under the control of Bailiyan, all the land is state-owned, except for the necessities of people's livelihood and living facilities, there are very few commercial facilities in the city, and most of them are industry, education, and bureaucracy, so the industry in the city is extremely concentrated.

The workshops outside the city are partly the construction of wind and hydro demand in the early years, and some are the inconsequential, large-scale, large-scale industries in the city that migrate outward to make way for more core technology and important industries in the city, which is also the main reason why the differentiation industry of Nianbailiyan moved to Ruitian and Lincheng.

In addition to Yongxing City, after 20 years of development, the commercial metropolis of Chenling has occupied a large area of private workshops in the early years, and now most of them choose to sell land for money and move outside the city, thus forming a large workshop area and commercial barter area outside the city, and successively forming commercial areas and residential areas.

Considering the current environmental background and national defense needs, the expansion of the city wall costs life and money, and the development of the city wall can never catch up with the development of productivity and land use.

If they are allowed to develop freely outside the city, it will be convenient for the self-employed and private economies, but if a war starts, it will not only affect the war, but at the same time, the losses of the operators will not be ordinarily large, which will lead to damage to the national economy.

Although the Xianguo is now a strong country, and it is unlikely that it will be attacked under the capital, in the future development of the commodity economy, other major cities in counties will also face the same problems, and the possibility of local warfare still exists.

In view of the development of the situation, Bailiyan issued a special decree at the end of 644 to re-regulate the scope of land outside the city, especially not to build any permanent facilities that can be concealed within two miles of the city, blocking the field of sight, and properly regulating the land outside the city to channel it.

After entering the city, Baili Yan rushed to the main hall of the Ligong faction and negotiated with the head of Duan Songzhi on expanding the scale.

After all the Ligong faction moved into Yongxing, the technical route was seriously differentiated, and the left gate headed by the master Cheng Jiyuan was the earliest branch to receive Bailiyan's advanced education, four or five years earlier than the right.

After the rightists moved to Yongxing City, the left gate had completed the accumulation of primitive basic talents, and the head Duan Songzhi came even later, thus forming a situation where the theoretical discipline of the left gate was stronger than the head and the right gate. After the development in recent years, the gap has become wider and wider.

The left door basically forms a complete set of scientific research system of drawing, machinery manufacturing, mechanical design, and scientific research, while the basic talents of the right door are far less than that of the left door, and the design ability is insufficient, and it has basically degenerated into a school of specialized processing, metallurgical smelting, woodworking technology, and exploration and prospecting.

As a result, the left door is dominated by technical research, the right door is mainly processed and explored, and the head of the department formulates policies.

Thanks to the development of education in recent years, Yongxing City's manpower and technology reserves are increasingly sufficient, which generally constitutes the general pattern of Yongxing and Yongxing Technology Group.

When I saw Duan Songzhi, Cheng Jiyuan, the master of the left gate, and Bao Ning, the master of the right gate, were not there, but Duan Songzhi was discussing with the new generation of masters about the selection of newcomers to study higher disciplines after the beginning of spring this year.

Baili Yan came unexpectedly, and it was making Duan Songzhi see Ganlin:

"Hehaha, Yongxing Hou came just in time, the old man is discussing the assessment with you, Yongxing Hou may wish to consult for the old man."

Bai Liyan raised her hand and saluted and hurriedly said:

"Don't dare to do it, your faction's affairs should be determined by your faction, and it's really inappropriate for this Hou Banmen to get an axe."

"Eh, the Marquis of Yongxing is humble. The ability of Yongxing Hou is ancient and strange, and our faction can have today's achievements, and Yongxing Hou has made great contributions. Now that there are many talents in Xianguo, and there are very few new generations in my country, the old man is very anxious. Yongxing Hou might as well give the old man an idea to solve the worries of our faction. ”

"This matter is a family affair of your faction, and Ben Hou is not good to get involved too much, since the head of the family invites him, it is not appropriate for Ben Hou to refuse to entrust the truth. Regarding the selection of talents of your faction, I believe that relying only on the selection of children within your faction may be far from being able to meet the needs of development in the future. Therefore, I suggest that your faction should recruit new people from the children of Yongxing City and train them. ”

Like an early state-owned enterprise, not only did it have a heavy burden on its families, but in most cases, the inheritance of its enterprise technology and posts was completed internally, with sons inheriting their fathers and grandsons inheriting their ancestral business. Outsiders want to enter, and they can, but the conditions are very harsh.

For the bronze farming age that lacked technology, this model was not only a high wall to protect technological secrets, but also an important means to make a living through technology.

However, when there is external technological competition and the state acts to promote overall technological innovation, the operation mode of such old state-owned enterprises will inevitably lead to narrow sources of talent, bloated institutions, heavy financial burdens, and technological conservatism and eventual bankruptcy.

After 20 years of development, especially in the last 12 years, relying on the vigorous development of education and the help of the Ligong School, the scale of the four types of high-end talents in metallurgy, machinery, design and manufacturing is several times that of the Ligong School, and the basic craftsman group is more than 10 times that of the Group.

However, the Ligong faction is at best an old state-owned enterprise with transnational cooperation, which has neither advanced management nor a reasonable source of talent, and in the face of technological competition from the national group, it is only a matter of time before it closes down and goes bankrupt if it does not carry out a change in its system and business model.

Bai Liyan had already seen the deep-rooted institutional problems of the Ligong faction, but for several years she had kept silent and never said anything about it.

The reason for this is that the qualifications of the Ligong faction are there, and they will make irresponsible remarks as soon as they move into Yongxing City, which will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Ligong faction.

The second is that Bailiyan doesn't want Yongxing City to become bigger before it becomes bigger, so that the Ligong faction will become bigger and become the culprit of the flood of technology in the future.

Finally, the Gangongists were not entirely technologically sophisticated, but also engaged in political activities, and their private activities with Liang Guo never stopped.

Instead of providing for grandpa, it is better to let the market trend make him suffer.

Of course, it is possible to block it through market behavior and technical ideas, and bring it out of business, but the Ligong faction also has its fine traditions.

Its rigorous industry ethics and inheritance spirit are not material products that can be bought with money. Without long-term accumulation and self-cultivation, it is difficult to form a top-down industry effect.

The Ganggong faction has stood for hundreds of years in troubled times, and this professional ethics and spirit of inheritance are far more valuable than the benefits they generate. This is also the deep-seated reason why Bailiyan values the Ligong school and continues to help its development.
