King Fu's movements were a bit big, and it was difficult for Zhu Youxiao not to notice it. You must know that in King Fu's Mansion, there are at least a dozen factory guard secret agents.

These suspicious people entered the Fuwang Mansion, which naturally aroused suspicion. Although it was not detected that these people were plotting with King Fu, it was certainly not a good thing.

At this time, it was a critical period for Shanxi and Henan to be included in the reform, and after Zhu Youxiao received the news, he immediately secretly mobilized troops and horses to the junction of Zhili and Shanxi and Henan.

"Hmph, I want to see if this Fu King dares to rebel." Zhu Youxiao sat firmly in Diaoyutai, and under the precautions in advance, even if King Fu made a big move, he would not be able to succeed in the rebellion. In that case, let's wait and see what it gets for the better and see which one King Fu wants to play.

So Zhu Youxiao ordered the factory guards to keep an eye on the Fuwang Mansion, and then let people prepare as usual to inspect the newly built water-powered spinning factory outside the city.

The mill recently used a new machine, a machine that can drive 300 spindles with water power, and the cotton yarn spun is soft, fine and strong. It was a new machine invented by mechanics from the machine building factory in conjunction with a research team from the Royal Institute of Science and Technology.

Nowadays, the Taicang spinning machine used by those factory owners in Nanzhili can be used by one person for eight people. But compared to the new water-powered spinning machine manufactured by the machine factory, it is a drop in the bucket.

This thing is definitely high-tech these days!

After all, the commodities needed by ordinary people in this era are nothing more than simple clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the most demanded are food and cotton.

Many of the rural people are self-sufficient in food and cotton cloth. Of course, after the shock of the commodity economy, the smallholder economy began to collapse. A large number of people have entered the towns, and the food and clothing needed by the urban people need to be purchased. You also have to buy a house to live in, and you basically don't have to go far away.

Therefore, cotton cloth and grain are the most consumed things in this era.

The water-powered spinning machine invented this time is the third generation of products of the machinery factory, and the yarn spun by the first two generations of products is either too thick. Either that, or it's not that efficient.

After continuous exploration and improvement, the third generation of hydraulic spinning machine was finally invented, which drove 300 spindles in one fell swoop, not to mention the quality is very good.

Zhu Youxiao inspected and visited the spinning mill outside the city, and was accompanied by the technicians who invented the spinning machinery. Zhu Youxiao came to the spinning factory and found that there were still child laborers in the spinning mill. These child labourers are also able to operate these textile machines.

"300 spindles is not a lot, can you increase it more?" Zhu Youxiao asked a few technicians, and basically had no opinion on the child laborers in front of him. After all, the productivity of this era is like this, everyone works hard to make life better. It is also because of productivity constraints that it is not possible for every child to have access to education. Moreover, so many literate people are educated, and society does not need so many literate people. And if a person reads too much, he will naturally not do those low-level jobs.

But the productivity of this era is like this, no one wants to do hard work, so who will?

"Your Majesty. The spinning machine invented this time can continue to increase the number of spindles, which should be able to break 1,000. The technician replied.

"Hurry up and improve." Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction. The water-powered spinning machine in front of me is similar to the mule machine in the Industrial Revolution, and the efficiency and quality are very good. However, compared to those complex textile machines in the Song Dynasty, it is still inferior.

It's just that the textile machine technology of the Song Dynasty has been lost, of course, everything is the same, and the textile machine is just like that, not too complicated. In the Song Dynasty, textile machines developed to the extent that there were thousands of parts, and that was also in the absence of new power and material technology. It's just an extreme route.

Daming now has a steam engine, and these hydraulic textile machines can be replaced with steam engines in the future.

It is precisely because textile machines are not too difficult things. Therefore, folk textile machines are relatively good. However, after all, private factory owners cannot concentrate so many talents and financial resources into research, and there is no guarantee for research results, so after a certain level, technological progress is relatively slow.

But today it is different, with the government concentrating manpower and material resources on research, and the patent law to monopolize the protection of technology. The technology is developed much faster.

After years of research, a major breakthrough has finally been made in spinning technology.

Breakthroughs in spinning technology have made it possible for women and child laborers to operate it, and the efficiency has increased by a hundredfold with the number of workers who operate the machines. If you take into account the factor of child labor. The efficiency improvement is even greater.

Of course, these equipment are now used in textile factories built by state-owned capital, although there is a phenomenon of employing child labor, but the squeezing is not so ruthless, unlike the capitalists during the British Industrial Revolution, who let child labor work 16 hours a day. Textile mills generally do not work more than 12 hours.

At this time, the state-owned capital consortium established by Zhu Youxiao, and the state-owned enterprises under it still have a certain difference in employee management and future generations. First of all, the employees of state-owned enterprises are not iron rice bowls, and the management model is similar to that of private enterprises. Unlike workers in the big pot period, wages cannot be deducted or fired.

Therefore, after the transformation of the royal consortium into a state-owned consortium, these enterprises are still operating well, and there is no slacking off.

As for the problem of corruption in state-owned enterprises, it is relatively easy to rectify it, and as long as we really grasp corruption with a ruthless heart, who will dare to be honest and honest in corruption?

Even if you secretly embezzle some in private, it is not a big deal, corruption cannot shake the foundation of state-owned enterprises, there is a price for more corruption, the more greedy you are, the easier it is to be exposed, and there is no other choice but to run away.

If the state-owned capital is privatized, then it will be called real terror, and then it will be called outright corruption, and not a single dividend will have to be handed over to the state.

And once the golden power loses state control, the country will be in chaos. Those capitalists with abundant capital will continue to attack politics and constantly extend their hands into the political field, and gradually the whole country will fall into the interference of financial power, and finally be controlled by capitalists.

However, it is different for state-owned capital to occupy a dominant position in the market, and the golden power is managed. And those private capitalists, if they want to interfere in politics, it is very difficult because they do not have the financial resources. Having bribed the top of the state, won't the officials below be blushing? When the time comes, they will flock up. How can those private capitalists have so much money to buy off officials?

Once the private capitalists gain the upper hand, they will not be disgusted with the money, and when the money is in their hands, they will not want to spend it, and the wealth will not be circulated. This is when the business oligarchy appears, and they do not want their wealth to flow to the people at the bottom. Social problems arose right away.

However, state-owned enterprises are different, and the profits created by state-owned enterprises are retained, on the one hand, they are distributed to employees, and on the other hand, they are used for R&D and investment. At the same time, a part of the profits is handed over to the state, and the state can use this wealth to build various projects or something.

The advantage of the dominant position of state-owned capital is that social wealth is constantly circulating and circulating. And the squeezing of workers will also be done in moderation, and will not be excessively frantically squeezed. Just like the state-owned textile factories in Beizhili are using child labor today, but not so harshly, and the wages are not so low.

Therefore, the dominance of state-owned enterprises is a key factor in ensuring social stability. In this way, the golden power of the whole country is constrained.

In the future, if the Ming Dynasty wants to carry out the separation of powers, it will not be the separation of three powers, but the separation of four powers, and the gold power must be separated and constrained by the other three powers. Otherwise, once the golden power interferes with the separation of powers, the separation of the three powers is just an unrealistic thing, which looks beautiful on the surface, but in fact it is still operated by people in the dark under the interference of the golden power.

State-owned capital not only restricts the power of gold, but also assumes the important function of distributing social wealth. Therefore, the remuneration of workers will not be overly squeezed. Because the last thing we want to see in the distribution of social wealth from the perspective of the state is that the gap between the rich and the poor is too wide. That would cause serious social problems. Therefore, the reasonable rights and interests of workers are guaranteed to a certain extent.

As for the problem of loss of state-owned assets, it is also relatively easy to solve.

Losses must be the reason for losses, whether it is product quality problems, or technology is not as good as others, or management problems, as long as you check carefully.

If there is a problem in management, the management personnel will be replaced. The product quality and technology are not as good as others, then improve the output quality and technology.

As for competition, there is competition in today's state-owned capital. There are usually several SOEs competing with each other in a field, not only SOEs managed by direct personnel dispatched by the state, but also joint venture SOEs dominated by state-owned capital.

These companies compete with each other in a healthy way. Compete for the position of the boss in the field. But it's definitely not about killing a few other competitors.

After a certain company has achieved a phased lead, if it is technical, then the technology can be shared through the patent law. If it's a managerial strength, then learn from each other.

Under the competition with each other, which state-owned enterprises have problems will soon be exposed.

Once a state-owned enterprise incurs a loss and sells it on the grounds of loss, it is absolutely a traitorous act. Because this will make the value of state-owned assets seriously undervalued, and the people below will get the opportunity to operate in the dark. Therefore, the more you lose, the more you can't sell it.

The sale of state-owned assets is allowed unless it is an industrial strategic adjustment.

For example, with the continuous development of productive forces, some small industries have nothing to do, and the state can indeed dispose of all the assets of this industry and sell all of them to private capital to operate.

Nowadays, the state-owned capital is constantly developing, and a capital drama of the state advancing and the people retreating is being staged.

State-owned capital is expanding rapidly by relying on low-interest bank loans and policy monopoly advantages. Roads, factories, mines, forestry farms, boats, houses, and other industries are being built.

In order to further reduce the loan cost of state-owned enterprises, Zhu Youxiao lowered the deposit interest rate again in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the basic annual deposit interest rate was lowered to 2%, and the maximum interest rate on time deposits was also lowered to 4%.

Today, banks have gradually grasped the market initiative in the New Deal area, and no longer need to rely on high interest rates to attract deposits as they did when they were first established.

After all, now that the imperial court has issued the Apocalypse Treasure Banknote, paper money is not like gold and silver, and there is no need to worry about mold and damage at home.

What should I do if the banknotes are left at home and are bitten by rats or eaten by mold?

As for gold and silver, it has withdrawn from the commodity trading link in the New Deal area, and the market in the New Deal area uses paper money for trading, and gold and silver cannot be directly circulated in the market, and must first be exchanged for paper money at the bank.

Coupled with the continuous development of state-owned capital, the state-owned capital consortium pays wages to employees directly to the bank account, and no longer directly distributes cash, and the money of the state-owned capital consortium is also deposited in the bank.

When private businessmen engage in business activities with a state-owned capital consortium. It is also paid by bank.

Whether it is ordinary people or businessmen, they are more and more inseparable from banks, the ability of banks to absorb deposits has been greatly enhanced, and the reduction of deposit interest rates has not affected deposit absorption too much, not to mention that the imperial court can now print money.

State-owned enterprises that have obtained lower-cost loans have expanded outward. There are a lot of resources to be developed, and the expansion rate is naturally fast.

Especially in the Northeast, Taiwan, Nanyang these regions, the share of state-owned capital has reached more than 60% of the total economy, and in Australia, the share of state-owned capital is the highest, reaching 86%, the whole Australia has become a state-owned capital taboo, although private capital can enter, but the resources are controlled by the state-owned capital consortium. The red-top businessmen within the state-owned capital consortium are already doing miscellaneous things. Only those dirty jobs that are too small, too scattered, and too troublesome are thrown to ordinary private capital to do.

In the New Deal area, private capital is like a beast that has been shackled, the harm is greatly reduced, and it has a positive social existence significance and function, which greatly complements the places that the state-owned capital consortium cannot take care of.

The continuous progress of scientific research activities and technological progress will be the guarantee for the further rise of state-owned enterprises.

Zhu Youxiao inspected the spinning technology at this time. It's a big step forward. At present, these spinning and weaving machines are still powered by water, but only if the steam engine is further modified. You can replace the power of these devices with steam engines, and then the production efficiency will be higher.

A variety of technologies will continue to emerge.

Zhu Youxiao, who was in a very good mood, drove back to the palace after some inspection. However, Luan was just halfway through the road, and he was still more than a mile from the city, when suddenly a rain of arrows shot from both sides of the street.

"Enemy attack...... Yes~! ”

"Escort. Hurry up. ”

"Protect the Holy One."

The scene was chaotic, and the rain of arrows directly shot and killed many guards, but the factory guards of the phenomenon surrounded Zhu Youxiao tightly.

Zhu Youxiao sat in Luan's car, and all the arrows were blocked.

"Kill!"

"Kill the Dog Emperor."

Dozens of people rushed out of the buildings on both sides, all of them wolf-like outlaws. These people rushed directly towards Zhu Youxiao's side, wanting to hack him to death with a knife. These outlaws are strong in martial arts, and the masters of the factory guards along the way were chaotic by the rain of arrows, and they couldn't resist it for a while.

Zhu Youxiao looked at these outlaws who dared to assassinate the emperor in a daze, and immediately drew a sword. At this time, the first assassin to break through the defense wanted to rush to Luan, but Zhu Youxiao also let it go and cut it out directly with a sword.

Poof!

The assassin didn't expect the 'Dog Emperor' to order a move, and was cut down by Zhu Youxiao with a sword without warning, and at this time, three more assassins rushed up, and Zhu Youxiao immediately panicked. He is learning martial arts in the army, and fighting alone is obviously not the opponent of these outlaws, not to mention that there are still three of them, it is simply asking him for his life!

"Your Majesty, don't panic."

Hearing a loud shout, a figure rushed over at an incredible speed, with no weapon in his hand, and knocked an assassin several meters away with one palm, and then blocked in front of Zhu Youxiao, a pair of fleshy palms were vigorous, and the other two assassins were slapped to death on the spot.

Zhu Youxiao's expression was relieved, it seems that the factory guard has recruited some masters. At a fixed glance, this is a fifty or sixty-year-old Dongchang guard.

The old man stood in front of him, and suddenly no one could get close, and all the assassins who rushed up were killed on the spot by him with a pair of fleshy palms.

At this time, the forbidden army behind directly surrounded it, and under the encirclement and suppression of the forbidden army, the assassination operation was declared a failure, and no one could escape.

Seeing that they were in a desperate situation, the assassins committed suicide by poisoning themselves.

"The subordinates are not well armoured, please punish Your Majesty." Xu Longhai, the commander of the forbidden army, hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and ordered with a dark face: "Drive back to the palace." ”

The outside world is so dangerous! This was the first time that Zhu Youxiao had been assassinated since he crossed over, and it was such a large-scale assassination, not a single-handed assassination.

Zhu Youxiao, who had never been assassinated before, obviously gradually relaxed his vigilance when he went out.

As soon as he returned to the Forbidden City, Zhu Youxiao immediately ordered a thorough investigation.

Suddenly, the whole capital was full of chickens and dogs, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were alarmed, and in less than a day, the entire Gyeonggi was under high martial law, and there were factory and guard spies, police, and armed police everywhere.

Search, crack down!

In the Department of Pacification, some of the captured Assassins were severely tortured. Although some of the assassins committed suicide, the number of assassins was relatively large, and several were still caught.

However, no matter how you ask, you can't ask the mastermind behind it. It was only found that most of these assassins were unemployed standard martial artists.

Since the emperor started his business, several security companies have been established. These security companies employ veteran soldiers and make extensive use of firearms, resulting in many military officers losing their jobs.

The person responsible for organizing these martial artists to plan the assassination had already committed suicide by poisoning, and the clues were directly broken.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao knew that the Dongchang guard who rushed in front of him to block the assassin was also an unemployed standard martial artist named Wang Jincheng, who was a master of internal boxing.

In recent years, a large number of standard martial artists have lost their jobs due to the development of security companies, some have become powerful domestic slaves, and some have taken refuge in factory guards and become court eagle dogs.

Fortunately, a martial artist with some ability would not come to assassinate the emperor, and people would not take such a risk, nor would they be willing to do such a thing. Those who will be organized to assassinate the emperor are all second- and third-rate martial artists.

This assassination made Zhu Youxiao break out in a cold sweat and made him realize again that there was still a group of people who wanted to kill him.

Before Zhu Youxiao came back to his senses, another moth appeared in the palace. Someone actually wanted to poison the food of the eldest prince, but was discovered by the eunuchs in the palace and arrested. (To be continued.) )
