Chapter 46 Cement factories have sprung up
The next day, Yang Shan invited the ten major families of Jingshi to convey the emperor's meaning. The requirement of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info to take a percentage of the percentage per ton made these businessmen a little disgusted, and they were calculating their accounts in their hearts, very reluctantly, and they were bargaining with Yang Shan in every possible way. However, Yang Shan's attitude is very resolute, if he does not agree, he will not be authorized, and if he cannot get the authorization, even if he starts to produce cement, he will be banned by the cement department. In desperation, the major families were forced to sign authorized contracts one after another.
Of course, these are only the families that first got the contract, and many small businessmen also want to get in and get a piece of the pie. However, the cement division has spoken, there is no 100,000 taels of silver, you just wait slowly, the people in the cement division are very busy, and there are not enough people. This time, these businessmen were in a hurry, but they could only stare dryly.
Yang Shan reports on the operation of the cement division on time every day, and Chongzhen knows these well. On this day, Yang Shan went to the Qianqing Palace to report again.
Chongzhen watched Yang Shan's writing while listening to Yang Shan's report.
"Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare to enter the cement division from the main gate every day, those businessmen let the little guy guard at the door of the cement division every day, and as soon as the minister arrives, he will be surrounded there." Although Yang Shan was complaining, he was actually very happy in his heart. Since the establishment of the cement department, he has become a fragrant bait, and even the matchmaker has countless more, many big families have taken the initiative to ask the matchmaker to come to the door to say the matchmaker, once a small miscellaneous bureau envoy, now has become a celebrity in front of the emperor, and some ministers of the court and the central government are feeling hot.
"This is easy to do, you let these businessmen who are not rich in money set up a cement factory together, so that the cost of production will be low, otherwise, even if these businessmen succeed in setting up a cement factory, they will not make money in the future. You explain the key points to them, and these people naturally know how to do it. Chongzhen smiled, very satisfied with such a result.
After Yang Shan left the palace, he went directly to the cement division, and quickly solved the congestion in front of the cement division, because these people were in a hurry to go back to report the news.
A few days later, groups of businessmen came to the cement division and successfully signed the contract. The faces of these merchants showed a look of excitement, and the contract in their hands, like a priceless treasure, was held tightly in their hands, and the expression was like the door of wealth was opening to them.
After that, the ordinary people of Jingshi found a strange thing, many cement factories are starting construction at the same time, these busy cement factory construction sites, the craftsmen of the cement division shuttle among them, everywhere, are subject to special courtesy, which makes these ordinary craftsmen feel that life is better all of a sudden.
The rise of the cement factory, Chongzhen had long anticipated. But Chongzhen really can't be happy, time is getting more and more urgent, with the arrival of the end of the year, Chongzhen deeply feels the sense of powerlessness in the face of the upcoming crisis between Houjin and Shaanxi, and Chongzhen, who is powerless and depressed, can't sleep peacefully.
Although the reform of Chongzhen's layout has quietly changed the political pattern of the Ming Dynasty, the maladministration accumulated for a long time cannot be changed in a hurry. What Chongzhen needs most now is talent and money, and many local officials are corrupt in today's court, and simple supervision and correction cannot form a good officialdom atmosphere. Chongzhen must appoint a new group of officials to clean up the bad habits in the officialdom in order to smoothly implement his reforms.
The imperial examination is the fastest and most efficient way to select talents, but the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty is too pedantic, which seriously stifles the selection of talents, and Baguwen selects many mediocre talents.
"Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Xuanli Department!" Chongzhen said to Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen took the order and left. Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen's back and was very emotional. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs were too powerful, in order to curb the Donglin Party from being too dominant. Now that Chongzhen is in power, he wants to use the system to govern the Ming Dynasty, so the position of the eunuch will become very embarrassing, and the power of the eunuch must be comprehensively compressed. Chongzhen knew very well in his heart that although eunuchs were close people, they could not be entrusted with important tasks, otherwise there would be a group of special people who were above the law.
If Chongzhen wants to gradually realize the legal system of the Ming Dynasty, rather than the rule of man, he must let the privileged class gradually disappear. Chongzhen knew very well in his heart how difficult the road ahead was to achieve this step. Although he is now the Son of Heaven, in the past few days in power, judging from the information sent back from all parts of Dongchang, Chongzhen's orders have not been effectively implemented, and have even been unanimously resisted by local officials.
Every investigation and evidence collection by the Internal Investigation Institute has become extremely difficult. A unique network of relationships has been formed among corrupt officials, and this network is like an impenetrable wall, and no matter what means the internal investigation institute takes, it will not be able to achieve further results. To be honest, such a result was unexpected by Chongzhen. Chongzhen imagined everything too beautiful at the beginning, but he didn't know that the internal investigation institute investigated the corruption of officials, and some officials would lose their lives for this at every turn.
The reform is at an impasse, and if it is enforced, it will meet with endless resistance. Chongzhen didn't want to see such a result, and simple killing could no longer effectively solve the current predicament. Chongzhen is unwilling to use the privileges of Jinyiwei, suppressing dissidents will only make this cancer grow bigger and bigger, and Chongzhen must find a way to cure it radically.
