An industrial revolution has been gaining momentum in Beizhili, since the invention of the high-pressure steam engine, the first spinning machine to use the high-pressure steam engine as a power was finally manufactured at the end of the seventh year of the Apocalypse.

When the steam engine roars, a thousand spindles rotate together, and the efficiency is simply unbelievable. Spinning machines powered by steam engines have greatly reduced the number of workers needed to keep the machinery running, and in fact the costs have fallen, despite the need to burn coal.

Most importantly, the steam engine can be operated 24 hours a day, all year round, without seasonal changes or location.

The state-owned textile factory in the Tianjin Industrial Zone took the lead in upgrading the equipment. So in this big winter, the spindle is spinning, and the efficiency is amazingly fast.

Because a lot of cotton is hoarded in warehouses in the winter, the state-owned textile mills, which have been replaced with new equipment, are about to start production in an 18-hour day. There was only a four-hour shutdown from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. to maintain the equipment. At the same time, this time period makes workers stay up late, which is more harmful to workers' bodies. 11 o'clock at night to 1 o'clock in the morning is the most critical time to sleep, this time period does not sleep, the next day up the brain is a whirlwind, because the human body only sleep during this time period can open the innate system, heart fire and kidney water intersect. Sleep at other times is in the acquired system.

Although the state-owned capital consortium pursues efficiency, the health of workers should also be considered, and it is precisely that time period that can be used to maintain equipment and avoid accidents. The factory management has already received the above documents, and the accident must be held responsible, and these factory management would rather make less money. We must also do a good job of safety. The maintenance process of the steam engine is very strict.

But this benefit. It's terrifying.

After the new equipment, the efficiency is unimaginable, and now the spinning machine driven by the steam engine is used to produce cotton yarn, and the production efficiency of one worker is higher than the production efficiency of a hundred workers before.

There are two shifts of workers a day, one shift produces ten hours, and one shift produces eight hours. Sixteen hours later, the profit is absolutely a bargain.

For this, the textile mill also doubled the wages of the workers. Suddenly, the workers of the entire factory were full of energy.

The cost of these cotton yarns produced is so low, and the price competitiveness in the market is absolutely spike-level, and there is no cotton yarn on the market that can compete with it.

At the same time, the first high-efficiency loom was finally introduced, which directly increased the weaving efficiency by 40 times, and the efficiency was also increased by nearly 10 times compared to the loom used by the Jiangnan factory owner.

With the introduction of new looms and spinning machines, the cost of cotton cloth has dropped by almost half, coupled with the advent of chemical dyes. The cost of dyed cloth has dropped by more than half.

You can make money with your eyes closed, and who doesn't want to wear clothes in this world. Who doesn't use cotton?

With such strong competitiveness, not only Daming's textile market can be monopolized, but even the world's textile market.

What a huge profit?

The state-owned capital consortium suddenly in such a profiteering driven, began to frantically expand textile production capacity, if the past application of hydraulic textile machinery and Jiangnan factory owners competition can not completely defeat the opponent, now those Jiangnan textile factory owners in front of the state-owned capital consortium has been vulnerable.

The only problem now is the speed at which steam engines can be manufactured and the speed at which factories can be built.

"Immediately let the machinery factory make every effort to manufacture the steam engine, and the construction of the plant below is also stepped up, so we must hurry up and try our best to increase production capacity." Yang Guorui immediately instructed the following: "In addition, we will buy as much cotton as there is in the market, and it doesn't matter if the price is higher." ”

"Yes, sir."

The development of industry is important as soon as possible. Light industry, in particular, requires a relatively fast speed to make money.

……

In the blink of an eye, it is already the end of the year, and at the end of this year, all departments have begun to summarize their work, and the imperial court has begun to be busy making the financial budget for the coming year.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the economy was prosperous, agriculture was stable, and the scale of maritime trade continued to expand, and the situation was favorable.

The departments reported the financial revenue of the seven years of the Apocalypse.

The sum of commercial tax, personal income tax, and customs import and export tax reached 150 million yuan, salt tax was 26 million yuan, agricultural tax was 43 million yuan, state-owned enterprises paid dividends of 33 million yuan, state-owned assets were transferred 60 million yuan, seigniorage tax was 50 million yuan, and the total fiscal revenue was 360 million yuan, compared with last year's fiscal expenditure of 350 million yuan, there was a surplus of 10 million yuan.

When the budget was last year, 50 million yuan was thrown up, and I didn't expect that there would be a surplus, which shocked the courtiers again.

"This new deal is indeed overbearing, and the rate of fiscal growth is simply incomprehensible."

"Yes! In just a few years, the fiscal revenue has increased nearly tenfold, and after the implementation of the new policy, no one has starved to death. ”

With the facts in front of them, the Han Emperor Party officials were even more determined in their attitude towards reform at this time. Compared with Zhu Youxiao's accession to the throne, the financial revenue has increased tenfold, and such a terrifying growth is due to the increase in productivity on the one hand, and the increase in resources and the expansion of production scale on the other hand.

And the most important thing is that merchants and nobles are no longer exempt from taxes, and those privileged classes all pay taxes at this time, and it is difficult for fiscal revenues not to go up.

Jiang Dejing, the head of the household department and the head of the coordination department, was in the Qianqing Palace at this time, reporting his calculation results to Zhu Youxiao.

According to the latest statistics, the number of Han people in the New Deal area has reached 98.65 million, nearly 100 million. At the same time, there are more than 2,000 people such as Nanyang natives. Based on the current commercial grain output in various places, it can feed nearly 75 million people out of agriculture, and the current industrial and other data show that there are nearly 15 million young and strong jobs that need to be driven by investment, and about 1.2 billion yuan of construction funds need to be invested, and if next year's financial budget continues to throw 50 million yuan, as well as 100 million yuan of seigniorage, the financial budget can reach 500 million yuan, of which 300 million yuan can be used for various construction activities, and there is a gap of 900 million yuan that needs to be supplemented by commercial investment. After some calculations, Jiang Dejing came up with a huge investment scale.

Then Jiang Dejing continued: "If you follow this plan, it will be an investment of 900 million yuan. This year, the profit of the state-owned capital consortium is 330 million yuan, and the commercial investment in private capital is estimated to exceed 100 million yuan, and there is a gap of nearly 500 million yuan. ”

"Is this kind of investment really enough for food?" Zhu Youxiao asked with some worry: "What if agriculture is affected next year?" ”

"Grain should be sufficient, after all, this is the result of this year's grain output, and next year's commercial grain production scale will grow rapidly, and the scale of fishing will also increase, even if agriculture is affected next year, more grain will be produced." Jiang Dejing said: "And some of the labor force is semi-agricultural and semi-labor, in fact, this plan is relatively conservative. (To be continued.) )
