Chapter Seventy-Six: The Emergence of Capitalism
The funds of 1.4 billion US dollars have arrived, and the financial department of Tianchen Company seems to have come back to life.
With a huge amount of money as the backing, the equipment that could not be approved because of financial problems was now passed directly by Jiang Yin with a wave of his hand, so Cai Changyi purchased more than 40 large-scale machinery and equipment from Hyundai to build the city.
The renovation of Qingzhou City is almost complete, and to be honest, the city is now even bigger and more beautiful than Xincangzhou.
The city wall erected by cement and steel bars, the height of the newly built city wall, almost twice as high as the old city wall, the outside of the wall is painted with red paint, the city wall also invited a special craftsman to carve some patterns of the Great Song Dynasty, on the gate of the city gate, there is a huge dark blue background city plaque, and the three regular script gilt characters 'Qingzhou City' on it appear to be extraordinary.
The buildings on both sides of the streets in the city have also been built, and the buildings of this era are generally not high, so there is no need to worry about earthquakes, so the foundations of the houses on both sides of those streets are relatively shallow, saving time and effort, and a two-story small building will take shape in just a few days under the construction of dozens of workers.
Jiang Yin recruited a total of 30,000 such laborers in Qingzhou City, and within a month, almost all the buildings in the streets had been completed.
After the house was built, and even a lot of extra manpower was vacated, Jiang Yin asked them to follow the modern people to the city to build roads.
The efficiency of the road construction team is also very fast, with an average of 9,000 kilometers in five days, and then the road roller is used to cover it, and the brand new road can be used.
In this era, there is no overloaded trucks and the like in later generations, so the road maintenance work here is very convenient, as long as Jiang Yin's transport truck is not overweight, these roads are difficult to break, how to say that they can be used for thirty or forty years.
With those extra manpower, the road repair team also built quickly, completed the main road in the city within half a month, and then divided into two teams, one team is responsible for building a secondary road in the city, and the other team is to build the road from Qingzhou Railway Station to the city.
So far, the work on both sides has been completed, and now it is ready to open to traffic after the road is maintained and dried.
The construction speed of later generations is accustomed to Jiang Yin's eyes, but the impact of these on the Song people is unimaginable.
It's been almost a month, and many of them still can't believe what they see with their eyes, especially those elderly Song people, the city they have lived in for decades has not changed much, but the new Song Kingdom has changed everything in just one month.
When the city wall was demolished, the people in the city were all mourning, they felt that the lord of the New Song Dynasty must be a madman, and he didn't want to put a good city wall, but he had to use that kind of earth-shaking thunder to demolish it.
After all, when the Song army faced the Tartars, it basically implemented the policy of relying on the tall city walls and strictly guarding them.
But now that the city wall is gone, isn't this asking for the lives of the common people?
Many people who don't know the inside story began to go to the Yamen every day to appeal, especially those who have some connections in the official face of Qingzhou, and the scolding is called an ugly one, and finally the Yamen simply does not accept these people, and these people don't care, they have moved to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty to hide, and when they leave, they turn a blind eye to those large-scale modern construction equipment.
Originally, Cai Changyi still wanted to stop it, but what is Jiang Yin's status now, the new Song Dynasty regime is thriving, there is no need to pay attention to these wall grasses, since they can't adapt to the environment, Jiang Yin doesn't mind depriving them of their rights.
The blue-skinned household registration book originally issued to them was taken away by the New Song Kingdom, and at the same time, Jiang Yin asked the officials of the household department to tell them that they no longer belonged to the citizens of the New Song Kingdom, and all the welfare benefits of the New Song Kingdom had nothing to do with them after that.
Those short-sighted people are rare here, they one-sidedly think that the New Song Dynasty is a nonsense regime, no wonder the Great Song Dynasty has been sending troops to suppress bandits, this gang of bandits set up a mountain, occupy a few cities and think they are great, those people don't care about the blue book at all, and leave Qingzhou after handing over the household registration book.
How do they know that many years later, the thing they regret most in their lives is that they gave up this blue book at the beginning, when their parents could not enjoy social security, they had no one to ask for a job, and their children were not accepted for school......
.....
In short, the turmoil in Qingzhou passed quickly, and with the construction of the new city wall, the voice of public opinion in the city quickly became smaller, after all, in this world, what has never been said can be convincing, Jiang Yin doesn't need to say anything, just use this modern construction speed, you can shut everyone up.
On the eve of the completion of Qingzhou City, Qingzhou Economic Development Zone has also become one of the top financial distribution centers in the eastern region, and any businessman who wants to buy anything, whether it is retail or wholesale, can find the store he needs in Qingzhou Economic Development Zone.
Some big businessmen in Cangzhou have long smelled the business opportunities in Qingzhou, doing business here, the first three years of the no-tax policy, for businessmen is simply paradise, not to mention the reputation of the new Song Dynasty regime that is called a fair and fair, business, no matter what kind of business, as long as the written evidence, when there is a dispute, go to the court, according to the "New Song Dynasty Law" written in black and white, how to solve the problem, this in the Great Song Dynasty, the big businessman won the lawsuit that is certain.
Merchants from all over the country, including Silla, Wa, and Jiangnan in the south, took the land or waterway, and more often took the train to the Qingzhou Economic Development Zone, thinking of taking a bite of the cake.
As soon as some big businessmen wanted to monopolize industries in the economic development zones, the Ministry of the Constitution immediately promulgated the "Anti-Monopoly Law," which immediately restricted the expansion of capitalism.
However, restrictions are restrictions, and comparative capitalism is an objective fact that social materials and production conditions have developed to a higher level, and Jiang Yin and his New Song Dynasty regime can only control this monster of capital, but cannot eliminate it.
In some handicraft workshops in Qingzhou City, the Song people, who had the capital and raw materials, had found that they only used their own slaves to engage in production, and there was already a big shortage of manpower, and they had to hire those hired workers with free status to produce for the needs of the market.
Soon, they got a taste of the sweetness of hired production and continued to want to hire people to expand the scale of production.
They didn't know what that meant, but Jiang Yin knew that the sprout of capitalism had quietly risen in the New Song Dynasty......
