Chapter 246: State Monopoly Capitalism (I)

"Chief, in the opinion of his subordinates, this method is feasible." Chen Ji, who joined the army, did not notice Zhu Bayi's expression, took Zhu Chongba's words, and analyzed in a low voice, "Since the Tang Dynasty, there have been a large number of porcelain workshops in Yangzhou, and the porcelain produced is not as fine as Ji and Jiangxi, and the beauty is not as good as Ru kiln and Jun kiln, but it has both the length of the north and south, and occupies the convenience of the canal, which can be directly loaded and sold in various places and even outside the territory. ”

"Shipbuilding, glue making, and spinning can also consume a lot of manpower." After joining the army, Ye Dexin was unwilling to live in the army, and quickly added on the side.

"Expand the water port in Haimen County, which can accommodate more than 5,000 large ships, in the early years, there were often big cannibals floating in the sea, and changed the river boat in Haimen to sell goods in Jiangdu, and later the river port was silted up by sediment, and changed to other places." Yang Weizhen, another member of the army, thought about it and added loudly.

"There are also lacquer treatment and salt boiling, all of which can be changed to government offices, and the government will take the lead, so that the people can contribute their own efforts in exchange for subsistence funds."

"Yangzhou's lacquer screen and carpentry have always been famous all over the world, if you can concentrate some skilled craftsmen"

Encouraged by Chen Ji and others, other civilian aides also spoke one after another.

Thanks to Meng Yuan's policy of light learning, most of the literati recruited by the Huai'an army did not reject commerce and trade, and some even came from the Shanglu family, so soon, he gave Zhu Eighty-one more than 20 ways to consume a large amount of labor, and in the end, even the old Jin Shi Lu Luzeng joined in, and said in a low voice: "Lord, according to the old minister's opinion, this strategy is feasible, it is better to concentrate the craftsmen to contribute to the lord than for them to be arbitrarily slaughtered by the local unscrupulous gentry, in addition, my Huai'an army will directly sell the goods, It also eliminates the purchase and transfer of traders, which invisibly makes the people suffer another round of exploitation. ”

"Hmm" Zhu Eighty-one rubbed his temples, his ears buzzing.

It is no wonder that a certain great ideal can take root and flourish in China in another time and space, and it turns out that we have this kind of gene in our bones.

After all, his other soul came from China in the 21 st century, and he has witnessed almost the entire process of transforming the planned economy into a market economy, and has witnessed with his own eyes the prosperity and disorder, suffering, and evil during the transition.

Zhu Eighty-one knew that from a certain Cheng dù, Chen Ji and others were not wrong at all, the government-run workshop, unified purchase and sales, in the period of lack of materials and limited transportation capacity, did have incomparable competitiveness, any private workshop, in front of the government-run behemoth, only had a subordinate share, otherwise, in the early days of the republic in another time and space, there would not be so many private owners, crying and shouting for public-private partnerships, although there are great political factors, but from the aspect of competitiveness, When the sales channels were monopolized by the government, private workshops and enterprises did not have the strength to fight with the large enterprises.

In addition, large enterprises have a advantage that no one can compare, that is, they can greatly replace part of the responsibilities of the government and society, birth, old age, sickness and death, and even solve neighborhood disputes, can be completely thrown to state-owned enterprises, so for a long time after the establishment of the republic, governments at all levels have not considered unemployment benefits and pension subsidies These complicated things have not been considered at all, anyway, all urban residents belong to the government or state enterprises, life is the country's people, death is the ghost of the enterprise, dedicated youth to life, dedicated to life to children and grandchildren, Everything is managed by the state and enterprises, and no one needs to think about it.

In this way, in the early days of the Republic, for several consecutive years, more than 10 percent per year was high, so that China in another time and space, from poverty and weakness, every industrial product had to be imported, and quickly exhibited a basically complete industrial system, although it was still very backward compared with the strongest country in the world, but after all, it started from scratch and reached a qualitative leap.

However, when the products are more and more abundant, the transportation is more and more convenient, and the goods can be transferred to the whole country in a very short time, the disadvantages of large enterprises have slowly emerged, the products have not changed for decades, people are superficial, and the managers have completely become officials, more and more greedy, more and more shameless, and the use of power for personal gain has gradually become fashionable, and corruption has gradually become glorious.

Next, there is a large number of unemployment, in the name of beauty, laid-off without security, living at the feet of the Son of Heaven can still get some subsidies, living in other areas, especially the grassroots counties, are completely left to fend for themselves, more than 30 million, or the most conservative statistics, behind each number, there is a desperate face, behind each face, there is a confused family.

In stark contrast, it is the business managers who have big bellies, luxury cars and beauties, and they hug each other.

People who have not experienced that era, can't understand the pain of being an ordinary child in that era, and can't understand the confusion and confusion, Zhu Eighty-one's previous life, facing the younger brothers and sisters who are only seven or eight years younger than him, can't tell the darkness and despair that he has witnessed, let alone facing Zhu Chongba, Chen Ji and others who have never experienced that era.

Knowing where the end of a road is, Zhu Eighty-one is absolutely unwilling to take everyone in that direction, rubbing his temples repeatedly, he tried to persuade everyone to give up this crazy and dangerous idea, however, at the same time, there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him, you might as well try, the danger is a matter of decades later, at least for now, all you can see is the benefits, and it can solve the urgent needs of the Huai'an Army, (Note 1)

Just as he was hesitating, the voice of Xu Hongsan, the head of the pro-corps, suddenly came from outside the door, "Chief Qiqi, there are three people who claim to be envoys of the Tianwan Kingdom, and they have come to ask to see you." ”

"It's over." Zhu Eighty-one was stunned, and quickly woke up from the chaotic thoughts, Tianwan is Xu Shouhui's country name, and the two words are one more than "Da Yuan", which means to "crush" Da Yuan, since the Huai'an Army became a series of its own, Tianwan Guo's Liantai Pingzhang, that is, Prime Minister Peng Yingyu, kept writing letters to show goodwill to this new force, but Zhu Eighty-one never responded, and he was never able to figure out what kind of relationship he wanted to maintain with this important anti-Yuan force.

"Governor, these people, it's better to see each other." Lu Zeng's reaction was extremely fast, and at the first time, he thought of the importance of the arrival of the red turban envoy from the south to the Huai'an army at this moment.

"Chief, in fact, showing weakness to the enemy does not damage the prestige of the governor, even with the ability of Tang Gaozong Li Yuan, there are times when he calls Li Mi a brother." Chen Ji, Ye Dexin and others also spoke.

As the leaders of this era, they are all clearly aware that now that the Huai'an Army has offended Liu Futong, they should not offend Xu Shouhui and Peng Yingyu at the same time, on the contrary, they should maintain a relationship with both of them, so as to best echo the interests of the current Huai'an Army, after all, purely in terms of combat effectiveness, the Huai'an Red Turban is no longer inferior to any of the previous parties, whether it is Liu Futong or Xu Shouhui, they do not want to force the Huai'an Army to the other side.

"Hong San, you come in and talk, explain the situation in more detail." In most cases, Zhu Eighty-one was able to be as good as a stream, nodded, and commanded outside the door.

"Yes." Xu Hongsan walked in quickly, first arched his hand to everyone, and then carefully introduced to Zhu Bayi, "There are three people here, Zhao Pusheng, the former general who claims to be Emperor Tianwan, Shi Chen Youliang, the commander of the left army, and Ding Pulang, the deputy commander of the navy, still holding Peng Yingyu's handwritten letter in his hand, the signature and imprint are exactly the same as the previous letters, and the subordinates have sent someone to check it, which does not seem to be a forgery." ”

"Chen Youliang, he actually came." Without waiting for others to speak, Zhu Chongba coldly said, "That person, nicknamed the two-headed snake in the rivers and lakes, the chief manager must be careful." ”

"Two-headed snake, this nickname is new." Zhu Bayi glanced at Zhu Chongba in surprise, and responded with a smile, in Zhu Dapeng's memory, Chen Youliang is not unfamiliar with the three words, but Zhu Yuanzhang actually knows Chen Youliang's name, it is a little unbelievable, after all, there is only one traveler in the world, Zhu Yuanzhang cannot know that this Chen Youliang will replace Xu Shouhui in the future, and will fight him to the death for several years, and almost joined forces with Zhang Shicheng to take his life.

"That guy's original surname is Xie, and his father joined the Chen family, so his surname is Chen." Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zhu Chongba smiled and explained in a low voice, "The Chen family has always raised him as a child of their own clan, sent him to a private school, and also got him an official position in the yamen. ”

It turned out to be a figure like Song Jiang in time, Zhu Bayi nodded lightly, the collusion of officials and bandits is something that no government can tolerate in another time and space, so his impression of Chen Youliang immediately became evil, hesitated, and asked Xu Hongsan in a low voice, "What is their purpose today, have you asked?" ”

"I didn't dare to ask carefully." Xu Hongsan shook his head and responded frankly, "But looking at what they mean, it seems that they want to sell us a batch of grain, that Ding Pulang is a solid-eyed person, since he saw the humble position, he has been lamenting the pity of the people of Yangzhou, and then he showed off that they were on the Wuchang side, robbed several official warehouses, and there was so much grain that they couldn't eat it all." ”

"That's great, let's buy the grain." When Mao Gui, the governor of Mengcheng, heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, walked to Zhu Bayi's side, and loudly encouraged.

However, soon, he realized his recklessness, there is no free lunch in the world, and the Huai'an army is short of food, which is a well-known fact, especially after carrying the burden of 600,000 refugees in Yangzhou City, it is even more stretched, even the traders in Jiangnan dare not hesitate to raise the price of grain three times at this juncture, not to mention Peng Yingyu, who has heavy troops and nominally has jurisdiction over Zhu Eighty-one, it is strange that people do not take advantage of the fire to rob it.
