Chapter 314: The Great Change of Officialdom

PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

While the Ming Dynasty was expanding in India, there was also a war in the expansion of colonies on the west coast of the Americas.

A skirmish broke out between the two sides, in which the Ming army, living on the west coast of America, managed to defeat and expel the Indian coalition of more than a dozen tribes, large and small.

The Jinshan Bay area has been completely occupied by the Ming Dynasty since then.

However, the speed of immigration here was relatively slow, and in the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, only more than 3,000 people were sent from the mainland, and there were only more than 5,000 Ming people in Jinshan Bay, plus more than 2,000 soldiers.

At present, the main force of overseas immigrants in the Ming Dynasty is obviously not on the west coast of the Americas, but in the South Seas and Australia. There are still many islands in the South Seas that have not been developed, and Australia has also only developed coastal areas, and only a small part of inland pastures have been developed.

The rate of migration has reached a bottleneck, mainly due to the lack of maritime transport forces. It's not entirely that there are not enough sailboats, but that there are problems with the tonnage of the ships, transportation efficiency, etc. As a result, many commodities are not very cost-effective after paying transportation costs.

Under such circumstances, Daming can only choose to slow down the pace of immigration. At the same time, the development of steamships, the first 2,000-ton steamship in the 12th year of the Apocalypse was also successfully launched, and the development speed can be described as rapid, but the actual capacity of the 2,000-ton steamship is not much different from that of a 2,500-ton sailboat, and it is not enough to transport a large number of bulk raw materials such as coal mines and iron ore from overseas back to the mainland on a large scale.

Zhu Youxiao asked the shipyard to build larger steamships.

Military operations in the overseas colonies continued. In addition to the wars of the Ming armies in India and North America. The Ming armies in Nanyang and Australia were also busy dealing with the natives.

Various small-scale military operations were very frequent. The only large-scale war was the invasion of India, and the military expenditure was not too large, and it remained at a relatively low level of burden.

The largest military expenditure is also on the manufacture of new equipment, and the first orders for 100,000 new rifles are already being produced.

The order for machine guns reached 600 units.

Railways are also being built, and everything is being prepared for the pro-Mongol conquest.

After some hard spying, the intelligence officers of Jinyiwei finally determined that the remnants of Jiannu were indeed entrenched in the lower reaches of the Volga River, and annexed the Tumut Mongolia, and their strength was restored.

Zhu Youxiao, who got the exact information. Finally made up his mind to destroy Lin Dan Khan, this guy is too unreasonable, obviously he hasn't fully learned the lesson of the last time, and he still wants to be the enemy of Da Ming, which can be described as a wolf's ambition. Only by eliminating the Mongol regime can this scourge be completely solved, so that China will no longer fall into the hands of foreign races.

On the economic front, the victory in the war against India set up the next growth point. The Indian market has opened up, and it's a very large market. India in this era. The population reached 150 million, and everyone had to wear clothes. Textiles are needed, how huge is this market?

In this case, this means that textile exports can continue to grow. At the same time, there will also be a huge increase in the trial production of steel and other commodities.

Of course, the situation in India is more complicated, there are many princely states, and it is not possible for goods to be sold all over India through just one tariff for the time being. Many commodities may be repeatedly charged multiple tolls when passing through some princely states, which also makes the commodity market that Ming can grasp in India much smaller, but its market is still very huge.

In response to the changes in the Indian market, Yang Guorui formed a huge fleet in the autumn of the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, loaded with various commodities and shipped to India, and the fleet was loaded with a large number of textiles.

At the same time, Yang Guorui proposed to Zhu Youxiao, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since Bangladesh Province has been established, it is possible to set up a textile factory in Bangladesh Province, and then purchase cotton in India, and then spin India's cotton into textiles in Bangladesh Province and then sell it back, so that the efficiency is much higher, otherwise it will take a large capacity to transport India's cotton back to the mainland, and then transport the textiles to India." ”

"This matter needs to be carefully considered." Zhu Youxiao was a little hesitant, after all, the textile industry is an industry and does not want to transfer outward. Although Bangladesh has been included in the territory, belongs to a province of the Ming Dynasty, but there are more Indians there, labor costs must be very low, the development of the textile industry in the local area is obviously huge, but it may also cause certain market problems, easy to affect the development of the local textile industry. When the time comes, everyone will go to Bangladesh to open textile factories, and they will all find Indian workers, and the local textile industry will develop a fart.

The rise of China in later generations fully proves that a country should not lose some basic industries prematurely, not to mention that the textile industry is still a pillar industry in these years.

After learning of Zhu's concerns, Yang advised: "The textile industry in Bangladesh can only be responsible for producing textiles for India and surrounding overseas markets. The demand for local textiles is still produced locally, and overseas markets that are relatively close to the local market are still produced by local textile mills. In this way, it will not affect too much, and it will be quite profitable. ”

The profits are indeed very rich, if the use of advanced textile equipment, coupled with low-cost labor to develop the textile industry such a labor-intensive industry, the profits are indeed powerful.

"Then set up a state-owned textile factory in Bangladesh!" Zhu Youxiao finally agreed, and then added: "Steel smelting should be placed locally. ”

"Obey." After Yang Guorui retired, he immediately adjusted the industrial distribution.

At this time, the development trend of the textile industry in Daming is nothing more than to retain the textile industry in the north at the same time, the new production capacity began to transfer to the south, providing jobs for the people in the south at the same time, and making some preparations for reform.

The factories that can be transferred to the south are all state-owned enterprises. Private enterprises in the south have not yet been able to buy steam engines. The economic model of this era belonged to the factory owners. There are huge profits in developing industry because the technological progress is great and the cost is relatively low. The competition is not strong. Overseas markets cannot be vast.

The largest factory owner. It is still a state-owned enterprise. Although there are many private factories, they cannot be compared with state-owned enterprises in terms of scale.

Zhu Youxiao allowed light industry to develop in provinces outside the Ming Dynasty, but did not allow industries such as metallurgy to develop outside the borders of the country.

Mastering the basic industry and mastering the industrial system is the key to ensuring that the Ming Dynasty is more powerful than other countries. The more technology develops, the more complex it becomes. Those countries that cannot keep up with the times will be reduced to soy sauce countries.

If a strong country wants to maintain itself and become a world hegemon, the key is to see if it can survive. The key to whether or not we can survive depends on whether the people are diligent.

If life is too good, laziness will naturally occur.

The reason why the Europeans in later generations weakened was because they were too lazy, and under the competition of China, they have gradually become a place where third-rate countries gather.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to survive, it must do a good job in macroeconomic regulation and control. On the premise of ensuring the basic right to subsistence, we must not make the people of the whole society feel that they can have food without doing things. If you can eat, drink, and be merry all day long, and put your happiness entirely above the misery of other nations and peoples, it won't be long before it will be corrupted.

Therefore, in terms of industrial development, Zhu Youxiao should develop the high-level ones, and the low-level ones should not be lost. The interests of foreign plundering are all used in national construction, and a large number of private capital is excluded from the threshold of foreign plunder.

And through the mode of macroeconomic regulation and control, let the internal people in a state of competition, and distribute wealth and status to those who are willing to endure hardships and make progress, and those who are not willing to be motivated, anyway, the state only guarantees their basic right to survival.

Chinese themselves are good at competition, not as lazy as overseas aliens, and not good at competition. Chinese people can mix all over the world because they are good at competition, willing to work hard, and able to endure hardships.

And a country that is stagnant is because there are problems in internal competition, those who have the ability cannot go up, and the hard-working people struggle with the problem of food and clothing, and they cannot get due returns, and the country has problems.

On the other hand, if people in a country can live a good life without having to work much, and the laziness of the whole society grows, such a country will also have problems.

At present, Zhu Youxiao's macroeconomic regulation and control is to do a good job in the distribution of wealth, so that those people who have paid their sweat can reap the fruits of their labor.

The treatment of workers should be improved, but they must pay a corresponding amount of labor and workload.

At this time, the treatment of workers in the New Deal area has been macro-regulated, and the monthly wage has been adjusted to about 5 yuan, while the monthly wage of workers at wharves and construction sites with a relatively large workload has reached more than 8 yuan.

The improvement of workers' treatment suddenly accelerated the pace of urbanization in the northern provinces of the New Deal. A large number of peasants were willing to be converted into workers and give up their land.

The speed of the enclosure movement began to accelerate, and the state-owned agricultural company, supported by bank loans, began to enclose a large amount of land and build agricultural production facilities.

As for the privately-owned agricultural companies, many of them have fallen into a debt crisis at this time, because they have expanded too fast, resulting in a lot of debts to the bank, and if they can't repay the money, they will go bankrupt, and the assets will be taken away by the bank and then auctioned. But in this situation where the loans are choked, how many private enterprises will pay a higher price to buy the assets of these agricultural companies?

In the end, these assets were bought by the state-owned agricultural companies, thus completing the land annexation between the agricultural companies.

When harvesting private capital, state-owned enterprises began to play the function of guaranteeing employment, unlike the harvesting activities of American conglomerates before World War II, which caused tens of millions of Americans to lose their jobs and tens of millions of people to the bone.

At the same time, the deepening of reform has also cut off the umbilical cord of the interests of many interest groups. In the middle and upper classes of society, life has become less comfortable, and the life of sitting at home and getting money without doing anything has gradually disappeared.

On the other hand, the restrictions on the specifications of businessmen without honors in marriage and life have also stabilized the social atmosphere. The flashy social atmosphere has been curbed to a certain extent.

In the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, the judicial departments of various provinces also formed a complete judicial network, and the public security system also spread throughout the townships and towns of the provinces of the New Deal.

The imperial court's control over the local area has risen rapidly, reaching the strongest stage since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The rectification of officialdom has been a continuous action in recent years, constantly replenishing new blood, eliminating inactive officials, and punishing corrupt officials more and more strictly.

The Han Emperor Party developed rapidly, and because it absorbed a large amount of new blood, it has become the absolute political dominant force in the New Deal region.

From the feudal officials to the grassroots civil servants, the Han Emperor Party is everywhere.

The traditional political parties are rapidly disintegrating, and the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang Party have now disappeared from the court, and they have either been incorporated into the Han Emperor Party or have been squeezed out.

The new rules of the game set by the Han Emperor Party must be followed if you want to join the game. This storm is spreading to the locality.

The Han Emperor Party began to wantonly exclude and suppress dissidents, and in the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, there were major changes in the officials of the provinces of the New Deal, and those officials who did not belong to the camp of the Han Emperor Party were dismissed and resigned. In the past, few of those officials had a clean foundation.

Some say that the foundation is clean, but in fact they are all from the merchant class, and after the reform, business cannot be officials, and this group of officials has been kicked out of the officialdom first. The remaining officials who have no business background, except for a few officials who are really clean, really have a clean foundation.

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the anti-corruption storm in the 12th year of the Apocalypse was extremely violent, and a large number of officials were found to be corrupt, and the old things in the past were picked up. In fact, these officials are all non-Han Emperor Party officials, either they are too capable of scum, or they have different ideas.

Different political philosophies and different interest classes represented are the fundamental reasons for party disputes. Since no one can convince anyone, the only way to defeat the other faction is to completely defeat it.

Politics has always been a struggle for power and profit.

The Han Emperor Party, headed by Zhu Youxiao, fully showed its fangs in the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, conquered cities and conquered the officialdom of the provinces of the New Deal, and wantonly excluded dissidents.

Those officials who joined the Han Emperor Party were also found to be corrupt, but relatively few. Those who will be investigated for corruption are those who are still engaged in corruption after joining the Han Emperor Party, and after being found out, even those old things will also be picked up and settled.

If he doesn't continue to mess around after joining the Han Emperor Party, Zhu Youxiao will basically turn a blind eye, and he won't see the unclean foundation before.

It's like a bandit in Zhao'an, who used to kill people and set fires without being held accountable. But after Zhao'an, he dared to kill people everywhere and set fires, which was a big crime.

Before Zhu Youxiao could personally conquer Mongolia, he needed to complete the centralization of the New Deal region. Therefore, the Han Emperor Party accelerated the pace of cleaning up the officialdom.

There can be different voices within the party, but this different voice goes within the rules and regulations of the party. The Han Emperor Party was quite similar to the general principles for those officials, similar to the rules and regulations of a company, and Zhu Youxiao was the chairman of the company.

Employees who do not comply with the company's rules and regulations will naturally be dismissed.

In order to centralize power, the officialdom of the New Deal in the twelfth year of the Apocalypse is undergoing a major blood change.
