Chapter 553: The Prince Goes South
If the cabinet and the hundred officials do not quarrel for two months, it is estimated that there will be no conclusion. And this conclusion, nine times out of ten, is not over, let it go. These officials are like this, and many problems are unsolvable for them. Zhu Youzhen is here
I have my own answer to the question, but I'm just waiting for someone to say the answer.
So, what is Zhu Youzhen's answer? Quite simply, someone has already done this, and it works well. It's immigration!
Why can't those officials think of such a simple solution? Unexpected? Or don't think about it? Or do you think of not doing it? Using the method of grain relief procurement to keep the luck for a while, can it be saved in the future? Is my minister really that visionless? In fact, it is not difficult to figure out the matter, Zhu Youzhen also analyzed it with the word interest, and many things were easily solved.
So now there is a question in front of us, why did Yang Tinglin mention this? For what purpose? The conclusion was quickly reached, and the matter was compromised in exchange for the support of some people, and in the future, when it came to solving this problem, there would not be so much resistance? This is already very close to the truth, isn't politics the product of compromise? This compromise can solve the problem for a while, and the state can get some benefits for the time being, and the individual can also get the benefits. On the political record, Yang Tinglin has no ambition, do you believe it when you say it?
Liu Qing, who is nearly sixty years old, is still in good spirits, and the journey of 2,000 miles does not seem to have had much impact on him, but after resting for three or five days, he returned to normal. When sitting opposite Chen Xie, Liu Qing's attitude did not change much, unlike others, there was too much awe in his demeanor. Chen Xie is very pleased with this.
"The Machine-Building Bureau, the Ordnance Bureau, the Mint. All of them have been relocated, and production can be resumed in half a year at most. Huating is not as good as Dengzhou now, but if you look at the drawings of the new district planning, you will know that it will far surpass Dengzhou in the future. Liu Qing reported unhurriedly, and Chen Xie listened and said with a smile: "Equipment or anything is a trivial matter, the key is people." Isn't there a lot of resistance? ”
Liu Qing nodded: "It's hard to leave the homeland, the craftsmen are a little better, they all know how to be grateful to Dade, and few people say strange things." However, in the stall of Dafa Money Bank and United Firm, there are a few people who feel that their wings are stiff and oppose it fiercely. ”
When Chen Xie heard this, he couldn't help but smile disdainfully and said, "It's understandable, it's hard to leave your homeland." Don't force it, they're just some business talent. It's not the most important thing. The most important thing is the technical talent, and the mind is on this. ”
Liu Qing smiled: "The owner is benevolent, I'm not so kind-hearted." If you don't want to, you can, just open it. No matter who you are, you have been in the owner's industry for so many years, and the salary you get is not a loss to them at all, and they can't get a high salary if they go to it. This thing. The little one was arbitrary, and he didn't say a word to the owner beforehand. ”
Chen Xie waved his hand: "No need to explain." It's up to you to decide this matter, I don't know about things, what judgment can I have? If I can't even trust you to do such a thing, then who else can I trust? ”
Liu Qingdao: "The movement of this relocation is not small, these bureaus. The craftsmen are all dragged with their families, and they can only be relocated little by little. Batch by batch. Don't ask about this matter, I'll take care of it. Speaking of this, Chen Xie smiled bitterly. Liu Qing is going to come out and carry this infamy. The Machinery Manufacturing Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau are both large enterprises, with a total of no less than 50,000 craftsmen. The overall relocation, how many people here don't do it, how can it be done if it is not a little hard.
"You don't have that big shoulders to bear this infamy, so I'd better do it. Go back and let Wang Qinian lead the troops to execute, the steel plant, just sell it, anyway, the core craftsmen are in their hands, and no one knows all the formulas. There's no need to rush, just take your time. To put it mildly, even if these factories are given to people and craftsmen are given to them for free, they will not be able to make real Dengzhou weapons, let alone steam engines. ”
Huating New District, there is a special industrial zone, Chen Xie gave up the foundation of Dengzhou, mainly to reassure the emperor. Shandong is too close to Beijing, Zhu Youzhen can rest assured, can Zhu Cihong rest assured? Therefore, Chen Xie has been constantly re-arranging over the years, with a bureau in Liaodong, a bureau in Jiangnan, and another bureau in Dayuan and Nanyang. I really can't do it, I will go to Batavia in the future and live my own life.
Once the devil of capital is released, the entire Ming class, under the temptation of huge interests, is very likely to be like the European aristocracy, a considerable number of people have completed the transformation from landlords to capitalists.
Let's put it this way, if you want to become a capitalist in Daming, the most advantageous thing is these people! Only by allowing these people to take the initiative will the capitalist process of the entire Ming Dynasty be accelerated. Only when a capitalist stratum is formed can there be a so-called bourgeois revolution. Now Chen Xie is doing everything for this goal. Is capitalism good? It's hard to say whether this is good or bad, the development of human society to the modern era in which Chen Xie lived, the two different ideologies overlapped little by little in many aspects. It is estimated that there are no three to five hundred years, and no one can distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of these two systems. But one thing is certain, the capitalist system is the only feasible system that Chen Xie can think of now, because this system can make the Ming full of aggression, and the law of the jungle that is robbing in the world is the most naked era, and can help the Ming not fall behind others.
Of course, Chen Xie's thoughts can only be hidden in his heart, and he will do it slowly, little by little, using the lever of interests to push this era forward. The current situation is that the sea has opened up, which has promoted the rapid development of industry and commerce along the entire southeast coast.
Once the development of industry and commerce enters the fast lane, and there is a force pulling the development in a certain direction, the qualitative change that Chen Xie expects is just around the corner.
When Chen Xie was a little distracted, a thunderclap exploded in his ears, and when he looked up at the window, the black raindrops covered the sky. Subconsciously, Chen Xie stood up and looked at the showers outside the window, washing the world and changing the world little by little.
The door was pushed open, and Zhou Xiuying, who came in with the maid, said with a smile: "Master, Mr. Liu, this rain is fast and fierce enough, if it weren't for my fast feet, this lunch would have to be drenched." ”
Chen Xie beckoned Liu Qing to sit down and dine together, chatting while eating, there was no rule of not saying anything. Liu Qing was also used to this, and talked about Dengzhou while eating. Over the years, Chen Xie has rarely gone back, and the biggest change in Dengzhou is still in the enterprise. The wisdom of the people is very terrible, once it is found that there are huge benefits, and there is no influence of external forces, it develops rapidly. Chen Xie has been intentionally or unintentionally spreading some relatively low-level technologies, cement factories and other enterprises, and even the human belt factories have been sold. The need for pig iron is directly outsourced to the private sector. What kind of coal stove or something, that is also called technical content? Chen Xie even outsourced some of the casting parts to the private sector. After the shipyards of Longkou and Qishan were converted to civilian use, Chen Xie was also ready to sell shares directly. After the emergence of the steam engine, it directly drove the pursuit of technological development by the entire Dengzhou people.
From not knowing how to do it, to taking the initiative to learn how to do it, and then to taking the initiative to study how to do it, this process is the thrust of interests. In fact, Chen Xie has not much to do now, that is, not to let the power of tradition become a constraint on these developments.
The township test was imminent, and Zhu Youzhen of the Beijing Division did not have the patience to wait for Chen Xie to enter Beijing, so he simply sent someone to call the prince Zhu Cihong and said to him: "Prince, you go to Jiangnan, take a trip to Jiangnan for me, see what is going on in that Huating New District, and then study well with Master Chen." In my experience, every time Chen Sihua does something, when you can't understand it, don't jump to conclusions. In a few years, you will see the effect of these things. You go this time, try to stay as much time as possible, learning is one aspect, and observing and mastering his methods and rules of doing things is another focus. After I ascended the throne, I found many problems, and for the Ming Dynasty, there was no way to solve them by relying on the existing people and systems. ”
"Father, so many ministers help you deal with the government, how can there be things that can't be handled?" Zhu Cihong asked, and Zhu Youzhen groaned and said: "I have always wanted to be an emperor like Taizu, and after I ascended the throne, I also thought that I could do it." But I soon discovered that many things, often my thoughts are good, and I hope that the result is good, and in the end things are still bad. I use these ministers, and I trust them, but they all mess things up without exception. There are so many ministers, and the only one who has not disappointed me is Chen Sihua. ”
Zhu Cihong is just a teenager, what can he understand? It's nothing more than what Zhu Youzhen says, and he listens to whatever he says. After saying that after writing it down, the matter was also put on the agenda. The prince's departure from Jingshi was a big deal, but Zhu Youzhen unexpectedly didn't let him rely on anything. Just let He Xian take out a thousand cavalry, send Zhu Cihong to Tianjin, and then send someone to deliver a letter to Chen Xie, and this is the end of the matter.
This time, Zhu Cihong walked unhappily, slowly left the Beijing Division, went south along the official road, and when he arrived in Tongzhou, he did not get on the boat, and continued to walk along the official road. After many wars, the withering side of the people's livelihood in Beizhili is invisible in the prince's mansion in Beijing. The desolation on both sides of the official road made Zhu Cihong feel for the first time that the people were not what he imagined.
Zhu Cihong came out this time, he didn't bring a single teacher in the Beijing Division, and he personally escorted him all the way south, and talked about a lot of things along the way, there was no big reason, it was just a very ordinary word, a very ordinary truth. The characteristic is that it can explain things clearly and make people understand. Zhu Cihong knew why on both sides of the official road in Beizhili, he often couldn't see a single person, and he also knew that there was still some recovery in the past two years, but three years ago, you couldn't see a living person until you arrived in the county seat.
