Chapter 327: Supreme Weapon
"When the people eat the oil today, meat and vegetables are mixed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info is used by civilians, and it is mainly vegetarian oil. Its legumes include soybeans, green beans, black beans, brown beans, pinto beans, and then cottonseed, peanuts, sesame, brassica, fat hemp, flax and so on. Wang Huizu counted with his fingers, and Chen Ming and the others listened with their ears pricked up.
"The officers and soldiers in the army, training hard, and repeatedly encountering wars, the Han King Lu Gong raised the soldiers well, and the food was good, and the middle people in the south of the Yangtze River were not as good as them. I don't know if Your Highness and all of you here know that our army uses a lot of oil, and there are always logistics chiefs in various barracks fighting for a barrel of vegetable oil. ā
Chen Ming and the others nodded in agreement, they had never seen and heard of this situation, and they didn't think there was anything wrong. Soldiers are meant to be used to fight, and meat is to be eaten every other day, even if it is just fish, it is often fried and then stewed in a pot. And in the people, cooking oil is really not something that ordinary people have money to eat. Every household is only poured with two or three catties of vegetable oil during the Chinese New Year, but it is mostly used for lighting.
The urgency of oil is not only for the expeditionary force, but also for the soldiers and horses left behind in the base areas.
"Now that tens of thousands of troops have converged into Hubei, is the edible oil in Hubei more than the land south of the Yangtze River?"
Chen Ming already somewhat understood what Wang Huizu meant. "You mean ......"
"This year's rice summer harvest is imminent, Hubei is widely planted with double-cropping rice, His Royal Highness might as well personally instruct one or two henchmen to contact one or two people, let the soldiers sign the paperwork with the tenants of the farm, pay for the money and food, and change the military grange to plant rice for soybeans. When the soybean harvest is harvested in autumn, soybean oil is squeezed and sold in the army, and the harvest will exceed that of rice. ā
"With a little publicity, this matter can be spread in all directions and known to all sergeants." This is a real benefit, much more convincing than empty nonsense.
"There are many things in the world that are in a hurry. His Royal Highness is certainly prestigious in the army, but the people's hearts are unpredictable and unpredictable. "The field has just been in hand, everyone will have their own small plans, even if Chen Ming stands up at this time, he will complain." Even if His Royal Highness personally came forward to promote the military cooperative, it would still be inevitable that there would be complaints. And the Qing court sticky pole has not been removed, if the other generation releases rumors in a timely manner to confuse the public, it is false to trust the cooperative in the name of our army, and the harvest of the land is real, and it is not beautiful. ā
In the words of Wang Huizu, what people can't get is better, holding pearls in front of people, there will be people who only treat pearls as fish eyes, only let them work hard to pick pearls, will cherish pearls more, and understand its rarity and preciousness.
"Some of the practical benefits are in front, and then His Royal Highness will come forward to organize a military cooperative to benefit everyone, and those who enter will be like a carp crossing the river."
As soon as Wang Huizu's words fell, he nodded along with Chen Ming. It is reasonable, reasonable, and indeed this is the reason.
"What Mr. Wang said makes sense, there are many ignorant people in this world. It's like the donkey, leading and not walking backwards. ā
"Military merit is a matter of great importance, and if there is negligence, there will be great trouble......
Chen Ming wanted to take advantage of the system of military merit fields to change grain cultivation to economic product planting, and he wanted to slowly gather the military group, guide them, and finally change this cooperative into a joint-stock company and set up several large agricultural companies. Then, on the basis of these, the development of the textile industry will drive the economy and increase the competitiveness of the Han army. But in the eyes of Wang Huizu and others, this is not his 'good intention' for a while, but another 'trick' that Chen Ming wants to use to grasp the army's heart -- if this thing is done, this is equivalent to holding the soldiers' money bags, and they will inevitably firmly grasp the army's heart.
Although Chen Ming was 'separated from the military and the government', he came forward to sell grain, cooking oil and cloth, and who dared to turn away the businessmen in the merchant group who would soon be pushed out by the government? Whose house is not buying? This thing is done well, and it can even be 'done' by Chen Ming's other arm. It plays an extremely important role in people's livelihood and economy.
None of the people present spoke out against it, Chen Ming didn't know at all, just when he lowered his head and thought, the eyes of several people around him had already inadvertently right, and they were thinking more 'deeply' than Chen Ming thought.
As the backbone of the Fu Han army, Chen Ming will inevitably leave Lushan for a long time to fight outside the rest of the war, and some of his Chinese rulers have all been scattered to the localities, and the supporters of the central government seem to be Chen Cong and the Gao family. In fact, if Chen Ming didn't come up with this method of military cooperative, they would have to suggest that Chen Ming would communicate with other people.
"Although His Highness does not study history books and does not look at authority, he is amazed by his intrigues."
At noon, when Wang Huizu, Xiong Bingzhang, and Liu Wu sat together for a meal, they said with admiration. When he first heard about the 'military cooperative', Wang Huizu couldn't wait to shoot the case. This is really the supreme weapon to win the hearts and minds of the military.
The more Xiong Bingzhang thought about it after the meeting, the more he felt that it had a deep meaning, and even he regarded Chen Ming's move as one with the introduction of the industrial and commercial class by the Fu Han Army. If there is no business group, even if these things are available, they can only be slowly dissipated by the people, or sold to the logistics department, the benefits are there, but Chen Ming's color is much lighter. As it is now, businessmen who first contracted the processing of the military's rations can replace the military and logistics departments and become the biggest demanders of cooking oil. Even the soybean cake left over from the oil extraction can become a necessity for the military and the logistics department to compete for, the military has to use that thing to feed livestock, and the logistics department has to use that thing to raise livestock.
The slaughter of large livestock was now prohibited in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Fu Han army, and those horses, mules, donkeys, and cattle were all protected animals. Because of the artillery and transport units of the Fu Han army, large quantities of animal power continued. In the past year or so, cattle have been raised in the Nanyang area, and how many are sent to the military procurement offices of the Han army in various counties, ensuring that the cattle will arrive at the money, and there will be no shortage of you one by one. So, the soybean cake after soybean pressing is something that the military urgently needs. Soybeans, it's a good thing.
The juniors Huang Song, Gao Yanming and Chen Jiqing listened to a lot of words, but they only had the right to speak in major matters. After returning home in the evening, these words immediately reached the ears of Gao Pengqi, Chen Hui and the Huang family's uncle.
Gao Pengqi is now the secretary of the police department, and he is also one of the cabinet members, and he is the absolute high-level of the Han Army. In affairs, he is Chen Ming's absolute supporter. Chen Ming's 'separation of military and government' is not because these leaders and brains in the central government of the Han Army now have opinions on Chen Ming, but because they are afraid that Chen Ming will have too much power and have no scruples, so he directly recruits a group of people and sets up his own small group, just like the attendant room. At that time, Chen Ming will be fighting all year round, if the Chen family really has a Jackie Chan day, Chen Ming will pay more attention to the group of people in front of him? Or do you value these old ministers?
The reason why Chen Ming was 'separated from the military and the government' was not to shake Chen Ming's status as a prince, although the two sides were indeed somewhat contradictory in some things, and the concept did not make sense, but the main thing was to curb Chen Ming's development in government affairs. It is necessary to insist on the Lushan court as the 'center' unswervingly, even if Chen Ming succeeds to the throne in the future, he must continue to use these people, instead of directly setting up a separate central government and kicking them away directly.
In this matter, Gao Pengqi was angry with Chen Ming, Chen Cong also got angry with Chen Ming, and the Huang family, including his father Chen Hui himself. It's all to widen Chen Ming's heart, so that Chen Ming won't misunderstand and think blindly. It's as if the expedition didn't happen.
Chen Ming can also understand, just like Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion, in the impression of many people, after Li Shimin became emperor, the civil and military positions of the entire Li Tang Dynasty were controlled by the people of Tiance Mansion. Chen Ming could understand this, and even on this point, he thought far more clearly than Chen Hui and the others thought.
Because he has long known the boldness of his courtiers, they dare to blatantly lie to you, and they are good for you, they dare to act against you openly, and even dare to form a gang to threaten you. Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Sect and Song Ancestor could not change this. Because people have interests and brains, the emperor can take away his official position and life with a word, but he can't take away the thoughts of his subordinates. How to get along with his subordinates, how to deal with his courtiers, is a university question, and Chen Ming is now studying little by little.
But he also has to say that many people in Lushan think too much about this matter. A lot of things are simply unexpected. And when it comes to scientific research, things are far from being so simple. As far as Chen Ming knows, in this scientific expedition, many of Lu Shan's leaders, relatives, friends, and even staff members have signed up one after another, and almost everyone has a great stake.
This person's self-interest, born by nature, is really endless.
There are so many people involved, and there are so many people who want to be too high-grade to stand there, and Chen Ming has to retreat. Besides, this imperial examination was originally advertised, which raised the grade and made it easier to attract visitors. Chen Ming also thought about it.
Chen Hui found out about this the next day. In the current study room of the Han Wangfu, that is, the original county government study, Chen Hui and Chen Ming's father and son are separated by a small coffee table, and Chen Hui is very interested in talking about this matter with Chen Ming.
He listened to Chen Ming's exposition of the concept of the military cooperative and the future development direction, as well as all aspects that can be communicated in the future, although he still hesitated about Chen Ming's practice of replacing Shilin, but Chen Hui agreed with Chen Ming's concept of 'soft knees', and he felt that as long as his family was strong, he did not have to worry about no one to be an official. And those masters, staff, poor scholars, scribes, and even government officials, after they became officials, they were also 'scholars'.
As an old oilman who has been in the house for one or two decades, Chen Hui has a clear understanding of the power of businessmen. As long as the ruling class supports the businessmen, the power of the businessmen is really strong. And as long as these businessmen take the fat thrown out by the Fu Han army, they will never be able to get rid of the reins of the Fu Han army.
The more rapidly these people developed and grew, the more firmly and deeply rooted the foundation of the Fu Han army became.
"Company?!" After Chen Hui heard the news, he specially consulted his entourage about the origin of this word, and sure enough, it was not made up by his son, "Confucius's "Datong" and "Lieci Biography": the public, the wealth of several people, the secretary, and the meaning of operation. Zhuangzi said: "Accumulating disadvantages and becoming high, merging small and big, merging and becoming public is the way to be called 'company'." ā
Chen Ming's face unabashedly showed his father's knowledgeable look, he really didn't know that 'company' was actually a word born and raised in China, and he thought it was from the West.
"Joint-stock company!!" Chen Hui, who stroked his chin and beard, also expressed his understanding, combining small into big, getting together, and doing business together. He understood.
"So this company, terrible, terrible ......"
I heard my son explain that in the future, in addition to entering the agricultural trade industry such as grain, oil, cotton, etc., the company can also get involved in cloth and raw silk business, and can also invest in other commercial houses and invest in other people's businesses. Backed by countless soldiers of the Han Army, this business must be unfavorable. How can such a company not be daunting?
"So these companies have to have restrictions." In front of his father, Chen Ming didn't hide it, "It's just the beginning now, and they can still become one." In the future, when our army's territory expands to the north and south, will the soldiers of the Fu Han Army in the whole country still be able to unite as one? "Chen Ming himself can't watch them become one." Even with the current ranks of our army, there is already considerable competition among the battalion leaders. In the future, when our army will be stronger and stronger, and the competition between them will only become more intense, and this will extend to the cooperatives, which cannot be unified in this province. ā
Chen Ming believes that in the future, military cooperatives will be transformed into joint-stock companies, which can become a banner for the interests of the soldiers of the Fuhan Army, but there is a conflict of interest between the armed forces and between regions, and these contradictions cannot be reconciled at all.
The ceiling of this interest collective is a province. And with the economic development of the whole society, it will continue to fall apart. (To be continued.) )
