Chapter 160 Guangdong Development Plan
Liu Kunyi was born as a scholar, and his officialdom experience can be said to be a standard template of the Hunan military system, all of them were born in Confucianism, saw the national turmoil caused by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and then participated in the township bravery, starting from a small camp, and one route to the position of the top ten feudal officials in the world. This book is from:
During the three years of the Governor of Liangguang, he successively promulgated a series of measures to promote agricultural production, such as the "Guangdong Jinong Fold" and the "Liangguang Agricultural Tax Fold", but ...... Although Liu Kunyi's measures are very effective, to be honest, he has no good plan for the current situation of high concentration of fields.
At this time, Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangguang, was carefully studying the plan sent by Qin Kai, on his right side, an old man and a young official, were also straight, and in the honorable guest position on his left hand, Qin Kai tasted the high-grade tea with a smile on his face, and Sun Fu stood at the door and did not come in.
At this time, Liu Kunyi was silently looking at his fold, Qin Kai's eyes glanced at the two officials opposite, the white and chubby Guangzhou prefect Lu Xichun was not present, it seems that these two seem to have more say than the boring fat man, when they entered the door just now, the two had already reported their homes.
The one in his fifties is Liu Yunle, the envoy of Guangdong, Sun Fu mentioned this person, he is Liu Kunyi's confidant, and the one in his thirties is Hu Yibing, the envoy of Guangzhou Salt Transport, Qin Kai looked at a large number of people, these two people are naturally in a large number of Qin Kai at this time, the two sides looked at each other, smiled, and nodded in greeting.
Qin Kai came here today, naturally to get the matter done in Guangdong, Liu Kunyi had better be able to pull a boat, after all, this big guy is in the Hunan army and the court, and he is also a big influential figure, but for this big guy who has little contact with him, he is naturally not sure, what does this big guy think, Sun Fu and Chen Bingkun are all asking around, and they are not allowed to believe......
Qin Kai secretly thought, at least, at least in his own big plan, he wants this big guy not to stir up!
When he thought of this, Liu Kunyi, who got started, had already read through the excerpts brought by Qin Kai, in which Qin Kai proposed a plan to promote agricultural production with industry, of course, he was very wise to plagiarize the so-called special zone system in later generations, and proposed to establish a new special zone in Guangzhou.
Of course, this special zone will not be engaged in agricultural production or anything like that, in Qin Kai's plan, he will raise capital here to build a huge light industrial park, and the industry includes almost all the things heard of in this era, silk reeling, weaving, cotton yarn, flour, oil extraction, etc.
Liu Kunyi was naturally very surprised by this, but Lao Liu's face was still peaceful, neither surprised nor dissatisfied, he held up the fold, and said with a smile: "Lord Qin, I have heard Lord Ding say, you are a little golden, Fujian has increased the tax revenue of Fuzhou alone three or four times in the past two years!" ”
Qin Kai arched his hand sideways, looking sincere, "Lord Liu, that Governor Ding is in love!" This Guangzhou Industrial Zone is by no means able to generate income overnight, but it will bear fruit within two years, and if the industry is prosperous, it can feed back agriculture! In my plan, the raw materials for flour, oil extraction, and weaving all come from agriculture, and the things grown in the fields are marketable, and the people will have more motivation to cultivate!
Hearing Qin Kai's argument of using light industry to promote agriculture, Liu Kunyi obviously heard some taste, and the two people sitting opposite were obviously Lao Liu's staff, and when Lao Liu was thinking about the problem, it was natural for them to play a role.
"Lord Qin, as far as I know, this foreigner's factory is a huge investment, and there is not enough strength to survive in it, I don't know if Xia Guan's understanding is wrong?" It was Liu Yunle who spoke according to the inspector, so much so that he couldn't see that this old man looked old, but he actually had such vision and insight.
Qin Kai couldn't help but look at him twice, and showed two small white teeth at him and smiled slightly. \ chastity hand play shouda8.\ "What Lord Liu said is indeed true, but this involves one of the most important factors - machine qì, the basic of industry is machine qì, without this thing, no matter how much manpower you have, you can't build an industrial ......"
"So how can this be solved?"
"I am very impressed by Zuo Dashuai's point of view, this industry and ship administration are actually the same, it is better to buy a machine than to do a machine, we can do a lot of skilled craftsmen in the Qing Dynasty, this Taixi people can do, we will definitely be able to do it, so I mean - the machine qì do it yourself! But ......",
As soon as Liu Kun heard the mention of Zuo Dashuai, he also felt a little cordial, after all, the soul of this Hunan army was this fiery and maverick Zuo Dashuai, and at this time he also interjected and asked: "Lord Qin, what are the difficulties?" ”
"When it comes to difficulties, it's nothing more than two words - talent!" Qin Kai said as he looked at the three people present, "So, I plan to open a new school in Guangdong Zhufu, which also needs the full support of adults!" ”
Liu Kunyi is naturally very interested in the big industry proposed by Qin Kai, but what he cares about now is naturally not Qin Kai's self-made machine and cultivating new talents, the interests of the Hunan army system are the top priority, and the Hunan army can still have the right to speak in the court in this era, and Huaijun Li Zhongtang is undoubtedly an important factor.
Therefore, since the death of Zeng Marquis (Zeng Guofan), who advocated the abolition of the Hunan army, Zuo Dashuai and Liu Kunyi of the Hunan military department are secretly planning to reunite their military strength.
The queen mother in the palace is biased towards the Hunan army, which has been abolished at present, in many things, but as the boss of the Hunan army, he and Zuo Dashuai both understand that there are no soldiers in their hands, even if they are in a high position, in fact, they cannot compete with the Huai army, and they cannot guarantee the stability of their own system.
And there are no soldiers...... However, it is precisely an important reason why the Hunan military system is more popular in the imperial court, which cannot but be said to be a rather embarrassing situation.
As soon as Liu Kun thought of this, he nodded in praise, and suddenly pointed to Sun Fu outside and asked, "Lord Qin, that's Sun Fu, the secretary under Zuo Dashuai's account, I haven't seen him for many years!" ”
Qin Kai was talking to him about running a school, listening to how he was talking about Sun Fu again, his heart moved, he hurriedly got up and called Sun Fu in, he didn't need to introduce it, Sun Fu naturally recognized this class, this Liu Kunyi and Liu Yunle are both old men of the Xiangjun, he has seen them, and they can be regarded as acquaintances.
After a few words of greeting, Sun Fu naturally understood what the bigwigs meant, and immediately opened his mouth to mention Qin Kai's enrollment of the children of the Hunan Army in the Mawei Shipbuilding School, of course, now among the children of the Xiangjun Army, the older ones who are free have mixed well in the shipmaster's house, and the income of the Mawei shipmaster workers is famously high! These words obviously made the senses of several people in this class change greatly towards Qin Kai.
Sun Fu said this, and then transferred the right to speak to Qin Kai, he knew that it was time to show the last hole card, which was naturally Qin Kai's patent.
Qin Kai took out a contract model and handed it to Liu Kunyi, "Lord Liu, in addition to the lack of talents who understand new learning, I also need a large number of helpers who can do things, don't make trouble, and can manage things, this is a sample contract for recruiting people, the children of the Hunan army are willing to do things, after training, I will arrange a way out here, I dare not say that I am rich and expensive, but those who are capable and willing to do things can definitely live a good life!" ”
And Qin Kai's approach is completely based on the model of military enterprises in later generations, these people are all from the Hunan army, and the current bureaucratic system of the entire Guangdong can be said to be inextricably linked, these people and their relationship network, itself is an excellent human resource, which is undoubtedly a good help for the new governor Qin Kai who has just set foot in Guangdong.
This is just some of the benefits that Qin Kai gave to the entire Hunan army system, but it is obviously not these Hunan army veterans who are being wooed, but the children of these families, who have been taught since childhood, and after a few years, these children still remember that they are the Hunan army and the Guangdong army, whose food they eat, and they are not allowed to do any family's things, so he is very determined about this.
For these officials of the Hunan army, Qin Kai very generously opened the price list of shares, the amount of shares is not limited, the annual interest rate is one percent, and the principal is repaid in 8 years, of course, if you want to withdraw temporarily, you can handle it anytime and anywhere. Qin Kai is naturally very confident in the price he offered, most of the silver in the silver bank in this era has a very low interest rate, and some big money banks even charge storage fees.
And the interest he gave looks very good, in fact, counting the depreciation of the silver price, ten or eight years later, the value of the silver with interest is actually almost the same as now, he is very clear about the changes in the monetary system of the silver standard, the era of the increasing depreciation of silver has long begun, but this sleeping empire is just slow to react to it!
Obviously, Qin Kai's recruitment of shares, clearly marked with money and interest, and the good thing of capital preservation made Liu Kunyi a little surprised, although he didn't know how Qin Kai operated, but he was still quite optimistic about the big plan, and he asked the last question, "Lord Qin, this problem of silver, manpower, and land, I think you are all handy, it's just ...... How do you solve this machine qì problem? ”,
Qin Kai smiled and asked people to call in several big shopkeepers of the "China Textile Association" who had been waiting outside the Governor's Mansion for a long time, and the answer to this question was naturally solved.
The two sides immediately reached a series of agreements, Liu Kunyi helped to promote the industrial zone and the Hunan army to invest in the industry, and Qin Kai was responsible for the layout of the industry, Liu Kunyi had only one purpose, the interest and dividends of the shares were paid steadily, Qin Kai sneered in his heart, and agreed to these conditions that seemed very difficult and seemed harsh.
After sending off the high-spirited new governor, Liu Kunyi walked around the living room a few times, thinking about this a few times, among them, there are only benefits for the Hunan army that has come to an end, and he can't think of anything appropriate at all, and the only thing he thinks of is whether the children of the Hunan army who have been recruited into the Qin armor system will follow this young governor......
However, for him, who has a very strong local complex in this era, it is obvious that this point was immediately denied, and these children of the Hunan army will only gradually grow in the system of Qin Kai...... He pondered for a moment and looked at the two capable subordinates, "Brother Liu, what do you two think about this!" ”
Liu Yunle had a stern expression on his face, "My lord, this Qin armor looks more powerful than I imagined, as far as I know, he is now estimated to have thousands of strong soldiers and Nanyang Naval Divisions under his command, I think he can be used as a helper!" ”
Hu Yibing, the envoy of the Guangzhou Salt Transport, said at this time, "My lord, to be honest, I have some doubts about this Lord Qin's ability to make money, he was born as a shipmaster, and now the industry of foreigners and compradors is very prosperous, if there is a money-making industry, can you not intervene?" ”
Liu Kun naturally had some thoughts after hearing this, but Qin Kai paid him a one-time regular money of 100,000 taels in the end, which made him once again affirm Qin Kai's strength, and finally chose to reserve his opinion for the time being, and fully support Qin Kai's industrial construction first. After all, in this big move, the Hunan army didn't actually pay anything......
Out of the yamen, Sun Fu was a little unimpressed by the high price code issued by Qin Kai, although today it can be said that the results are huge, and almost all the problems have been solved in one package......
Qin Kai naturally noticed Sun Fu's reaction, and he didn't explain much, after all, the changes in the time efficiency of the silver standard and currency, and Sun Fu said that he didn't understand it, and what he had to do now was a huge industrial system, in this era, although agriculture had high added value, but in front of the British and French powers with huge colonial free labor and perfect industrial system, domestic agricultural products were the object of predatory procurement by the import trade deficit.
Now Qin Kai is to take advantage of the local advantages, use the huge supply of local agricultural raw materials, and expand the industry in Guangdong, now it is no longer the era when he secretly engaged in industry in Mawei, he smiled, turned his head and said to Sun Fu: "Brother Sun, today's agreement with Lord Liu, I still need to trouble you to operate on your behalf, it is all your fellow countryman, you can take care of it!" ”
Sun Fu didn't say anything, hehe, follow behind.
Back to the governor's yamen, this side has long been tossed, Wu Jingui and a few bigwigs of the textile association are waiting here, Lao Wu's shriveled face is now very angry, he was completely unconscious and was forced to pull on Qin Kai's warship, but this way, although the wind and rain came and went, even the war-torn Vietnam did not run.
But now, Lord Qin has been a minister of feudal territory and a member of the imperial court from the original six-rank small official, and the powerful strength in his hands, that is, a core member like him, only knows a little bit about it, and he calculates that if it goes on like this, it won't take three or five years, and Lord Qin's strength can be comparable to that Lord Li who calls for wind and rain in the court...... After all, that Master Li is already in his sixties, and the world is ...... Thinking about this question, he couldn't help but feel his heart skipping fast!!
The Wu family is still in charge of his eldest brother Wu Jin, although the family has asked him to preside over the Wu family's property many times, but Wu Jingui's mind has long been not on their Wu family's millions of taels of property, he has seen too many facts that shocked him and unimaginable.
The He family in Fuzhou is now in the middle of the day in Guangdong and Fujian, and their He family, because they preside over the China Textile Association, in the coastal provinces, are all calling for wind and rain, this time Qin Kai made a special trip to find him, and talked secretly in the study for a whole day, this adult is ready to smash the assets in Guangdong, even he can't imagine.
And on the long list that Qin Kai listed, those industrial projects and the huge number of outputs, made his jaw almost dislocated in surprise, and after careful study, he was convinced that this Lord Qin was indeed determined to do this, and Qin Kai talked to him about the steps in detail, which made him also admire. ,
The next day, Wu Jingui became an official! The official is not big, and the actual person who is awarded from the six products of Guangzhou Prefecture is also known, and the age is 1350 taels, since the first day, he has not done anything in the yamen, and he has a house opposite the governor's yamen avenue, and hangs a sign - Guangzhou Merchants Bureau.
For these people, the person responsible for receiving them was Qin Kai's personal soldier squad leader Song Yunze, and Song Dagongzi did not recognize anything except Qin Kai and Sun Fu's strips, and the children of the Hunan army sent to them under the age of 16 were directly sent to the newly opened Guangzhou No. 1 Primary School and Guangzhou No. 1 Middle School to report.
Those over the age of 16 are directly taken over by his own soldiers, and they carry out the same paramilitary training as the Mawei Security Regiment three times a day.
These children, if they are sent later, they will not be wanted.
Soon a notice stamped with the seal of Liu Kunyi, the governor of Guangzhou, and Qin Kai, the governor of Guangdong, was sent to the ten prefectures of Guangzhou, and a document called "Guangdong Merchants Fold" was issued together, and the notice was clearly written, any innocent people of the Tian Dynasty only need to pay a deposit of 5,000 taels to the Guangzhou Merchants Bureau, and they can get a piece of land in the Guangzhou Industrial Zone, of course, the size of the land can be determined by the deposit paid......
In the later stage, the construction of the plant and the investment in the equipment were clearly marked by the Guangzhou China Merchants Bureau, and the sales of the products could be sold by the China Merchants Bureau after the unified acquisition, or they could be sold by themselves.
This notice went down, and there was no response for several days, which made Wu Jingui, who presided over this matter, somewhat worried, this is the first job in his career, how can he mess up, and immediately give full play to their Wu family's business network to sell, the first batch of early adopters, or members of the Textile Association, with the Textile Association's previous generous efforts, they are full of confidence, but they want to run to Guangzhou to open a factory, which has become an obstacle somewhat.
And the second issue of the investment promotion notice released at the same time is even more incomprehensible to the rich and shopkeepers everywhere, the new governor has just sold the land and started to sell the road again! This road is facing the sky, each going to one side, that is a truth that has existed since ancient times, and the new governor can really think of everything.
