Chapter 378: The Prototype of Interest Groups

The next day, Shi Bufan took Dugu Daxue and Qin Jiarui to take the initiative to participate in this industry coordination meeting attended by people of various identities, especially Shi Bufan, who hoped to gradually develop into a huge interest group through these coordination meetings. www.biquge.info Only by pulling more people into his own interest group will his extraordinary strength be greater, and he will be able to truly let more people follow him to transform the world.

Of course, some people may think that Shi Bufan is for what "cooking corpse oil"? In fact, no, what Shi Bufan wants to do is not to ask for any "boiled corpse oil", but he doesn't want to be controlled by others to control his life and death, so he is very unhappy, very unhappy. It was for this reason that he took the initiative to transform the world, and he had no interest in boiling corpse oil to care about his business. His purpose is to keep himself safe, not ideal. He will not be willing to hand over his life and death to him just because the other party is Li Shimin and is a Zhenguan Emperor. Shi Bufan's idea is who wants to threaten him, then he will threaten the other party first.

And this, first of all, we must establish a huge interest group, including political, economic, and military joint interest groups, so that we can protect our own interests, and then we can truly use it as the basis for transforming the world and the basis for being qualified to compete with Li Shimin.

In the future, Shi Bufan will not only not curb the productive forces, but will find ways to continue to develop the productive forces, so that Li Shimin will not feel that his country is in danger, then he will not compromise with Shi Bufan. If you don't raise this monster, you won't be safe. The development of productive forces is the survival soil of the interest groups that are about to be formed behind him or even himself, so he will not be stupid to curb the productive forces, and he will work hard to develop, and strive to make the Tang Dynasty stormy, and create some crises if there is no crisis, so as to make him safer.

"Shi Langzhong (Shi Cao Chang) is good!" Hello everyone.

Those who are not officials are called "Langzhong", but those who are officials can be closer and called Cao Chang. However, Shi Bufan knows that these people have more or less benefited from the influence of their various policies, and to a large extent belong to the "vested interests" of the various policies they propose. Of course, they will not oppose themselves, and they are even one of the interest groups that are naturally themselves.

Although they may have few officials, most of them are not officials. However, Shi Bufan saw political science far more clearly than the ancients, that is, once a political faction does not have the support of the interest groups on which it depends, even if it is huge, it will not be able to sustain itself and will inevitably disintegrate. On the contrary, as long as the interest groups do not suffer real losses, even if they are politically suppressed, they cannot be completely suppressed.

In essence, officials are just a group of people who control the state apparatus for their own interests, and control the state apparatus to suppress the ruling tools of other ruled classes. The state apparatus is also a tool of rule, so he attaches more importance to the formation and support of interest groups behind him, but comparatively despises the construction of officialdom. As long as the interests are still discussed, we can continue to draw those officials in and become a group that prospers and loses. It can even provide an economic base far away to support the officials of various factions to ascend to the top and control the state apparatus.

"Everyone, this is my wife, Shanggong Dugu Daxue." Shi Bufan took the initiative to introduce.

Dugu Daxue smiled at everyone and expressed kindness. Dugu Daxue also understood that the people Shi Bufan said were the people who supported him behind him, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was his "boss". Although Shi Bufan supports them now, he will also need them to support Shi Bufan behind him in the future. Without the support of interest groups, a politician or politician cannot hold a position. Even if you barely sit on it, it won't be long before you'll be kicked out.

"Okay, let's come here today to discuss our plans for this year. How was your harvest last year? Shi Bufan asked.

The representatives of the rural cooperatives hurriedly said: "Our harvest has increased a lot, and after paying the rent of the imperial court, we still have a lot left, and the grain harvested in Gyeonggi is already 20% more than in the past." Even since we put together the farmland and then used horses to plough it, it was only 30% of the people who were farming. Even Shi Langzhong put forward patents and other methods, we are now a variety of agricultural tools transformation is very fast, almost every day there are some transformation results, progress is rapid! ”

Shi Bufan knew that the potential wisdom of the people was very powerful, but before hesitating, everyone was not organized, it was completely the kind of small-scale peasant economy, which was not organized, and in the case of safeguarding their own interests, they did not want to take out the agricultural technology summarized by their ancestors. However, since the establishment of cooperatives and patents, the profits obtained by farmers have increased greatly, and even under the stimulation of many patent bills, many people have obtained the opportunity to get rich overnight, and they can't sit still. Although many people have incurred foreign debts in the form of royalties in a short period of time, in the long run, grain production has risen sharply, and even a series of processes from seed selection, cultivation to final harvest have made a lot of rapid progress.

You don't need a time-traveler to invent this invention or that, as long as you give the people a platform, then they will do better than you yourself. Even what they have summed up by themselves is the most suitable for them, and there will be no situation of adaptation.

However, the increase in grain production is a crisis in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin continues to have a headache! But he didn't dare to die and ordered the abolition of all kinds of technologies, and if he dared to order the abolition of technologies to increase agricultural output, then this emperor would not have to be confused. Shi Bufan is playing the general trend of history, and he can't resist at all if he uses the general trend of history to suppress Li Shimin.

"Well, it's good that the grain production is getting higher and higher! What about the rest? Shi Bufan asked.

"At present, we have a lot of construction teams in Chang'an that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and now those who have the ability in their hands are unwilling to serve the government. Their skilled workers even want to serve the government one by one, and they directly want to leave and set up their own construction team, because it is more profitable to form their own. ”

However, an official of the Ministry of Industry was also scolding: "Now that you are proficient, you don't even think about how to do things for the imperial court, and you actually want to make money for yourself?" ”

"Master Chen, what you said is wrong! If there are enough people left, why should we stay? ”

Of course, the director of the Ministry of Engineering is not good to say that at present, Datang has to build various engineering facilities everywhere, although there are enough people now, but no one dislikes the crowd! Especially for the early completion of the Ministry of Industry officials is a real achievement, can complete the civil engineering ahead of schedule is a real achievement for the officials, the basis for promotion!

Now the officials of the Ministry of Industry have to pay a greater price to keep the skilled workers in order to get early promotions. It's only been a few years, but the Ministry of Labor ordered those workers to work, and those who were conscripted had to listen anyway. But now, there are too many places where people can "work". Originally, this kind of civil engineering was only needed by the government, but the private sector became rich. The people are rich, and the houses are built, and all kinds of living facilities have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

In this period, which is quite a period of large-scale construction in later generations, all workers who know how to build civil engineering will not be unable to find suitable jobs, but will rush to ask for them everywhere. Whether it is a civil society or a subordinate of the Ministry of Industry, a lot of civil construction workers are needed. The Ministry of Industry now does not dare to offend those skilled workers too much, especially those talented skilled workers, and the Ministry of Industry does not dare to offend too much even as an official. Because they know that if they annoy them, these workers will go directly to work for private people, and they may earn more.

Once these workers are gone, isn't it even more embarrassing for the Ministry of Works? At that time, the construction could not be completed on time, and they would all be held accountable! Therefore, in line with the principle of reducing risks, the Ministry of Labor still came up with some additional "subsidies" to these craftsmen, which can be regarded as the basis for attracting them to stay.

"Hehe, this is human resources. When manpower has become a resource, it must be normal for the one with the highest price. Even if it is the government, it is difficult to force orders. Shi Bufan thought.

At present, this human resource has caused a very huge scarcity, and even the government understands that it may not be able to forcibly occupy it. As for the levy and issuance of conscription, now that the Ministry of Industry mentions the word "conscription," it does not dare to put a fart, because whoever dares to talk about conscription now is tantamount to ruining his own future. The destruction of agricultural production by forced labor is obvious to all, and it has finally been abolished in fact, so who of them dares to propose restoration, and does it want a political future?

Therefore, in order to compete with private businessmen for human resources, they have to spend more money to win over these skilled workers. As for the levy and payment of conscription through public power, don't even think about it now, otherwise whoever mentions conscription, the entire government and opposition will question the ability of the Ministry of Industry to do things.

"All the horses of our Chang'an Shepherd have been rented out, and even our war horses have begun to breed in large numbers. Recently, we have added more than 100 horses to the shepherd. In the past, there was no such idea that it was better to buy than to rent, and we did not rent out this colt. Not only are the horses consumed, but they are useless. Since renting it out, many people have been in need. Even people who were not qualified to buy horses came to rent horses to use. Now almost all of our horses have been rented out, and instead of being supported by the imperial court, the horses can be self-sufficient. Now we can rest assured that the war horses will breed, and it is only a year that more than a hundred war horses have begun to grow, and I am afraid that they will soon be ready to go to the battlefield. Chang'an pastoral supervisor Zhu Chunlin said.

Of course, Zhu Chunlin, the pastoral supervisor of Chang'an, was happy, this time he had bred more than 100 war horses, and it would not be long before he could be further promoted. Such a big political achievement cannot be suppressed, so promotion has become inevitable, just waiting for the arrangement of the officials.

Similar to those pastoral supervisors, as well as many "state-owned enterprises" in the imperial court, since in that futures market, their various metal raw materials have been booked in advance. Those products with good quality such as high price and stable quality are very popular. Under this marketization, the futures market determines the price of their products, and those metallurgical supervisors have to gradually abandon the management methods of the past, and adopt methods to reduce management costs and even improve quality to attract customers.

Because Shi Bufan said that the futures market price is stable and the smelting of metals is naturally successful. The price of good quality things will gradually rise and be highlighted in a group of people. In this way, there is competition, and they don't dare to slack off casually. With the results, it is natural to see at a glance, and if there are no results, you can do it yourself. With a sense of distress, then you can really work hard. In the past, they did not have a sense of distress, so it was naturally difficult for them to have the motivation to make progress. Now that they have a sense of distress, even if they are so-called "state-owned enterprises", they have read and have to change with them. Because the data of futures will not deceive people, but will tell everyone whose quality.

"Is everybody making money?" Shi Bufan asked.

Everyone immediately laughed, and even many people were fat-headed and big-eared, and they had gained a few pounds recently, obviously making a lot of money. Now everyone is making money, don't look at the dozens of people sitting here today, but the people behind it are far more than just these people. Behind them even represent peasants, civil construction workers, and businessmen from all walks of life, their employees. Some officers, as well as some army soldiers, descendants of government soldiers, and so on. A huge interest group spanning the political, military, economic, commercial, and even ideological circles has begun to take shape.

Don't think that the army is so invincible, if the army can solve everything, then there are not so many helpless emperors in this world. After all, the world is made up of people, and even the army is an organization composed of people with its own interests. Military power does not mean anything, and many people may deify the role of military power, but in the eyes of real top politicians, military power is something that is not used. There are many conditions for military power to become military power, such as financial power. There is no financial power, it is a completely toothless tiger, it looks scary, but it is useless. As long as the financial power is not lost, and the army is not allowed to have independent financial power, then the military power is very big. (To be continued.) )
