Chapter 397: Cultivating 'Internal Strength'

With the stability of the provinces of the New Deal in the north, Zhu Youxiao's small life has also become much more nourishing. The imperial court's finances were fully improved in the tenth year of the Apocalypse, and the state-owned capital profits also reached a very large level.

The summer resort where he took refuge in Chengde in the sixth year of the Apocalypse has also undergone some construction and has become a real summer resort.

Zhu Youxiao also built a golf course and a racetrack in the imperial city, and he usually played ball, rode horses, and went to the theater to listen to music, and his life was very nourishing.

"Your Majesty, the Honolulu Provincial Envoy sent a report that the Honolulu Tusi had unified the archipelago, and the entire archipelago had been brought under the management of the imperial court. And the first 3,000 immigrants have arrived in Honolulu to begin cultivating sugar cane plantations on the archipelago. ”

After the early dynasty, Zhu Youxiao began to review the recitals. With the continuous expansion of the territory, there are more concerts in various places, and there are more reports to be heard every day.

"It's going well, don't bring the messy species into the Honolulu Islands." Zhu Youxiao commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Chaoqing wrote down the oracle.

Qian Xingguo on the side continued to report: "Australian power generation, the new Australian Governor Wang Jincheng has arrived, and is currently coordinating the development and construction of Australia. ”

"This Wang Jincheng is a good official, I hope he won't let me down." Zhu Youxiao nodded, Wang Jincheng is an official promoted from the grassroots level, he has been very good in all previous assessments, has strong work ability, and is good at overall development. Moreover, Wang Jincheng has a clean and honest style, and there is no stain in the previous anti-corruption investigations and assessments, so he was quickly promoted from the grassroots level by Zhu Youxiao.

As a young official who is only in his thirties, it is when he is in the prime of life, and this Wang Jincheng is very conscious of economic development. So he was sent by Zhu Youxiao to Australia as the governor-general.

After Wang Jincheng arrived in Australia, he thoroughly implemented the development model formulated by Zhu Youxiao. The environment of overseas colonies is not the same, and the institutional models are actually somewhat different.

However, for the most part, the administrative and property protection system was enforced, and there were no great restrictions on the development of the overseas colonial economy.

Australia is also implementing a new policy system, but the model here is to occupy a stronger dominant position with inherent capital, and the economic model is also based on the development of resources. The production of raw materials is the mainstay.

Wang Jincheng organized workers to build ports and roads, and began to extend the development area to the Australian interior, with animal husbandry as the mainstay, and planting based on the production of grain and vegetables to meet the needs of Australian immigrants, and then the production of commercial grain and commercial cotton.

Mining and animal husbandry are the pillar industries of vigorous development.

The mining industry is dominated by state-owned capital, while the livestock industry is developed in a model where state-owned capital and family ranches coexist. The same is true for the plantation industry, which is dominated by state-owned capital and supplemented by family farms.

Equivalent to in Australia. There are no privately-owned pastures and farms, and private businessmen who want to invest in agriculture cannot enter on a large scale, and at most they can only buy a family farm or a family ranch. At the same time, in terms of mineral development, it is not allowed for a private capital merchant to exploit more than two small minerals at the same time.

At the same time, state-owned capital monopolizes Australia's financial industry, as well as major commercial trade.

Under such a model, there will be a lot of private capital businessmen, but most of them will be small capital businessmen, as well as a small number of medium-sized capital businessmen. There is absolutely no soil and space for the survival of big capital businessmen.

There is no emergence of large capital businessmen, and small and medium-sized capital businessmen are relatively scattered. With state-owned capital dominant, it is impossible for Australia to become independent, even if Australia develops an industrial system.

In fact, there are still restrictions on the industrial development of these overseas colonies, that is, it is impossible to form a complete industrial system.

Overseas colonies could build roads, railroads, and even a large number of factories. However, it was not possible to allow these overseas colonies to develop core industries such as machinery manufacturing.

It is equivalent to the impossibility of a complete industrial system, once without the support of the homeland. The industries of these colonies will not be able to play with it.

Like the steam engine manufacturing industry, it is all placed in the Guannai.

Steam engines also appeared in Taiwan and Nanyang during the Apocalypse Decade, and these steam engines were mainly used for grain processing and sugar extraction.

The increase in production efficiency has created considerable profits.

In this era, the most popular thing is to set up factories, because commodities have not yet flooded to a certain extent. Manufacturing is a cutting-edge industry with high profits.

The steam engine is currently a factory artifact, and using the steam engine means making money. The control of the steam engine is also very strict, as long as the steam engine is shipped out of the country, it must go through strict approval and final verification.

There was no way for private capital to transport steam engines out of the mainland, and only state-owned enterprises could transport steam engines to various overseas colonies, and once they entered a certain administrative area, they had to be registered, and they could not be shipped out of these areas in the name of scrapping.

The technological blockade of alien races can be described as extremely strict.

The industrial revolution in the New Deal region can be said to have progressed vigorously, and factories began to be opened in large numbers in the industrial zones of the provinces.

The steam engine is something that can't be hidden.

Steam engines appeared in the newspapers, and more and more small and medium-sized businessmen bought steam engines and set up their own factories.

For a time, the light and heavy industries in the provinces of the New Deal developed rapidly, and heavy industry was an industry monopolized by state-owned capital. In light industry, except for a few bulk commodities, the rest are those small and medium-sized capital businessmen who carve up the market.

The factory owners in Jiangnan applied for voluntary tax payment in the tenth year of the Apocalypse, and indeed bypassed local trade barriers and sold their goods to the northern market.

It's just that it didn't take long to be happy, as the small and medium-sized capital businessmen in the north bought steam engines one after another and replaced their production equipment with cannons, the goods of those Jiangnan factory owners gradually lost their competitiveness in the northern market, and their market share began to shrink.

Now it can be the envy of those Jiangnan factory owners, they can't buy a steam engine if they want to, this thing can't be bought with money. They can't buy it, and that's because the Jiangnan region is not part of the New Deal provinces.

Many Jiangnan factory owners and workshop owners began to look forward to the advent of the New Deal reform, and they have been successfully differentiated by the policies formulated by Zhu Youxiao.

However, Jiangnan and other places are still dominated by those big capital businessmen, so the voice of opposition to reform is still strong.

Someone to support. There was opposition. However, the imperial court was slow to expand the scale of reform, and throughout the ten years of the Apocalypse, those small and medium-sized capital businessmen in Jiangnan failed to look forward to the advent of the New Deal reform.

Now it is clear that it will not be possible for the imperial court to expand the scope of reform in a few years. After all, the territory and market that state-owned capital has to digest are too large.

The market of the entire northern provinces has not been fully digested, and at the same time, it is constantly expanding and developing externally. In the face of a lot of fatty meat, I can't eat it, and if I eat it again, it's easy to choke myself to death.

Moreover, after the completion of the large-scale administrative reform in the north, the administrative system also needs time to stabilize and not make mistakes in the busy.

When the administrative system is completely stabilized, the officials below are thoroughly familiar with the new deal process, and the Han Huangdang has a good talent reserve, it will be easier to increase the scope of reform at that time.

The most important thing is the laying of the railway network, as long as the railway network is built in the provinces of the New Deal, it can form an absolute crushing of those big capital businessmen in the south in terms of capital.

When the time comes, those big capital businessmen in the south. In the face of state-owned capital, there will be no way to fight back.

At this time, it is the stage of cultivating internal strength, and if you have cultivated your internal strength well, you don't have to be afraid of anything. Zhu Youxiao also began to continuously optimize the internal personnel structure.

Lin Wence was promoted to the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, which is equivalent to being promoted to the position of 'Minister of Foreign Affairs', mainly responsible for the implementation of foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also handed over some diplomatic powers to Honglu Temple, and in the event of some urgent diplomatic incidents, Honglu Temple could make a decision. It is sufficient to deal with it in accordance with the general principles of foreign policy that have been formulated at present. If it's a big deal, such as changing the diplomatic strategy of a country. It needs to go through the cabinet, and then the cabinet will come up with a plan and send it to the emperor for approval.

This year, Guo Yunhou, the secretary of the household department, resigned in old age, and Zhu Youxiao also agreed, let Guo Yunhou retire, and then promoted Jiang Dejing to the position of the secretary of the household department, which is equivalent to the minister of finance. Responsible for the overall planning of Daming's finances. After all these years of training, Jiang Dejing can also be qualified for this position.

Above the court, with the promotion of several 'young' officials, the Young Zhuang faction began to rise. Zhu Youxiao likes to promote those young officials, once these officials are promoted. You can work for the imperial court for a long time. And he is the leader of the Young Zhuang faction.

The Han Emperor Party is still constantly absorbing party members, and at the same time, taking advantage of the time when there is no need to expand the scope of reform in recent years, Zhu Youxiao has continued to do party building work, and the rules and regulations of the Han Emperor Party have gradually improved, from the principle to the work process, and the system is constantly improving.

Party style and party discipline are also important 'internal strength' items, which is the core competitiveness! The core can't be rotten, and if it does, it can't be helped.

The system of separation of powers has also been formalized, and the so-called four powers are: executive power, legislative power, judicial power, and financial power.

The separation of four powers implemented by Zhu Youxiao is very different from the system of the separation of powers in later generations, first of all, the cabinet has executive power and legislative power, and the executive power and legislative power are not separated, similar to the system of some European countries in later generations.

In addition, the judicial power and the financial power are independent of the cabinet, the judicial power was separated by Zhu Youxiao, and the court system below exists independently, not managed by the cabinet, but directly managed by Zhu Youxiao, and the management method is relatively simple, and the emperor determines the appointment of senior officials of the three divisions.

The Criminal Department no longer enacts laws, but is in charge of courts at all levels, in charge of punishment, and in charge of detention. Dali Temple was the highest court of the Ming Dynasty, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was responsible for overseeing anti-corruption.

Cases that have risen to a certain level will be tried by three divisions. At the same time, military courts were set up to try servicemen who committed crimes.

The golden power is controlled by the state-owned capital consortium and has an independent operating system, which is the most independent system among the various powers. It is only subject to cabinet legislation, for example, the introduction of a policy that in addition to paying taxes, state-owned enterprises should pay 20% or 30% of dividends as state finance, which is determined by cabinet legislation.

The way in which the state-owned capital consortium controls the financial power is to occupy a dominant position in the market, and through the way of encirclement, suppression, and absorption of large private capital businessmen, they will restrain the capital that can form a scale, and prevent these capitals from frantically infiltrating politics and subverting the regime.

The leader of a state-owned enterprise is actually similar to an official such as a county order, and there is also a 'small kingdom' that can speak by himself, so the status of the CEO of a state-owned enterprise is no worse than any county order or governor, and some are even more nourishing.

These CEOs of state-owned enterprises are also the key targets of supervision and anti-corruption, and corruption is terrible. Even if there is no corruption, it is a big problem to transfer benefits by colluding with private capital businessmen. However, it is also relatively easy to fight corruption, and under the strict anti-corruption system, it is their ability to get money.

Moreover, at present, the retention of these CEOs of state-owned enterprises depends on whether they can convince the public and whether they can run state-owned enterprises well. Get out of the way if you don't do well, and get out of the way if you can't convince the public.

If you don't run a state-owned enterprise well, it is incompetent. After all, state-owned enterprises are monopolistic, and they can't make money under the premise of market monopoly, isn't it incompetent? Even if it is very incorruptible, it is a corpse vegetarian meal.

If you can't convince the public, you must be using power for personal gain, and the best way to convince the public is to serve the public with a clean breeze on your sleeves and one heart for the public. Ordinary employees of state-owned enterprises are like a mirror, which can reflect the demons and monsters well.

As long as we ensure that there is no problem with the CEO of the state-owned enterprise who takes the lead, and then give greater power, the management below will not dare to mess around.

The most prone to corruption are these state-owned enterprises, which have a lot of doorways, especially after a long time, just like herding sheep, a group of goats familiar with the environment like to run around as soon as they come out of the sheepfold, and goats who are not familiar with the environment are always very cautious.

At present, the imperial court is cultivating 'internal strength', and the anti-corruption is relatively strict. Moreover, the state-owned enterprises of various countries have not been established for a long time, and some have just been established, so the corruption phenomenon is not so serious.

Even if there is corruption, it is unlikely to shake the foundations of state-owned enterprises. Those officials of state-owned enterprises cannot openly take out the stolen money for spending, and if they are too corrupt, they will only be exposed, and they will either run away or be arrested. Now that the Ming Dynasty has a hegemonic position in East Asia, those officials have nowhere to run if they want to escape.

Under the separation of powers, Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, is not so tired, and many government affairs can be handled in accordance with the principles of various departments. Only when it comes to institutional changes, as well as changes in high-level personnel, state policy and military affairs, the emperor needs to personally intervene. (To be continued.) )
