Chapter 373: Guanfang
The matter of the official workshop was proposed by Bai Tu, that is, the workshop run by the official family.
At this time, Lu Su and others also understood that it was almost equivalent to the official land in farming, but the difference was that the official workshop was not obliged by the people to work or rely on forced labor to maintain its operation, but hired craftsmen like ordinary workshops, but the revenue was included in the government treasury.
Under the names of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there are already a number of workshops, which will also be included in the list of official workshops in the future, but the expansion of the official workshops has undoubtedly added some blockages to the local scholars and wealthy families.
Of course, now that this workshop is rising, it is the rhythm that the General's Mansion has brought up little by little, and it has always been pressing the rhythm, but no one dares to scold the official workshop with a blatant excuse of "competing with the people".
However, what should be "fighting" is still "fighting", otherwise the encouragement workshop of Baitu before will not become empty words?
There are countless official offices in every place and county, where is there room for them?
"That's right, within five years, we will strive to abolish the agricultural tax, and the Ministry of Industry and the Privy Council will not be less spending, and then this official workshop will also be a major item of the imperial court." Bai Tu saw Lu Kang mention it, but he didn't avoid the topic.
"The king, if it is just to cancel the agricultural tax, support scientific research, and maintain the army, in fact, as long as the workshop rises, it is enough, this account has also been counted by Zijing before, if the king is worried, he can also raise some workshop tax ladders...... Of course, it seems that it is better to hand over the important weapons of the country such as salt works and smelting to the official workshop. ”
Lu Kang now represents not only himself and the Lu family, but also the interests of all the scholars and wealthy families.
This is not a bull with Bai Tu, but also to help Bai Tu find a balance, and if he can convince him, he can find a way to balance the dissatisfaction within the Jiangdong Hao clan, and then let the national policy of the Chu State be pushed to Jing Yang.
It is impossible for Bai Tu not to play with the wealthy family, even if there is an official school, it is not a few years, more than ten years, it can improve the quality of the whole people, and in 30 years, it can make the literacy rate to 50%, so that 80% of the young and strong can learn their own work, which is considered a great success.
Therefore, it will definitely not work if the cake is not given to the scholars and wealthy families at all......
The meaning of Lu Kang's words is obviously also on behalf of the scholar clan and Bai Tu that they don't mean to plug in the mobile phone, but ...... You can't let the court take advantage of everything!
"I've also thought about this matter, in short, the official workshop comes out of five categories, one is that the effect is not obvious, but the market is popular and beneficial to the people, and the official workshop must be the best; Second, it is more harmful and dangerous to employees, and it is necessary to strictly implement safety standards; the third is related to military affairs, and at least the workshop of the core technology must be an official workshop;
Fourth, it involves government-owned resources, which must be dominated by the official workshop and cooperate with the private sector at most; Five...... It's profiteering. Bai Tu was also prepared, and took out his notes from the side.
Except for the last one, which is clearly to "just eat" and "just eat alone", the others are not cheap.
Needless to say, when it comes to military affairs and official resources, now is the time when the Chu State is just established and is full of vitality, no matter how ambitious the families in various places are, they dare not fight these ideas.
As for the first point, the results are meager......
In fact, if you change to a big Han family, especially those who have a deep foundation in the local area, you really don't mind doing it yourself - what is losing money? Occupy the hearts of the people, and the court can't help me! What's more, it's just slow to earn.
But Bai Tu doesn't want to give them the opportunity, so let's come to the official workshop!
This article is actually indisputable, after all, Bai Tu has put on a posture that the court wants to lose money, and he is rushing to lose money at this time...... What's the difference between not reporting and rewarding the three armies yourself?
"The great king is indeed a model of benevolence and love, but ...... This second point, in fact, as long as the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs jointly enforce the regulations......" Lu Kang also wanted to explain.
After all, the second point of Bai Tu is a little unbelievable to others.
What does it mean to be harmful and dangerous to employees? Nowadays, there are really many workshops that need frequent contact with harmful substances and dust, and normally there are strict production safety regulations, but ......
Bai Tu thinks it's better to take the most harmful part of it and collect all of them!
The wealthy families of the Han Dynasty and the workshop owners of the "cruel exploitation stream" and "bloody plunder" in the early stage of industrialization are fundamentally different from each other in terms of the definition of existence and the foundation of the world.
Can the wealthy family rely on exploiting the people below, and then divide the accounts with the court to gain the support of the court?
Stop dreaming......
That's only the part of being attacked by the court and the people on both sides!
Only by winning over a part of the people, entrenched in the local area, after ...... Throwing the notoriety of "exploitation" to the imperial court, hiding behind to absorb nutrients, and immortalizing from generation to generation is what the family should do.
"Said Shinong, said industry and commerce, the four people, the good ...... of the country" Bai Tu recited a three-character scripture of his own (copied), and then paused, before continuing: "I have always believed in all of you here, and I am also happy to believe in the goodness of the country of Chu, and I believe in the beginning of human beings and the goodness of nature...... But I don't want to validate human nature. ”
The meaning of the white picture is already obvious.
Like the starting point of industrialization in another world, the Western workshop owners wantonly use hired labor as consumables in exchange for maximum profits, although the accumulation can be completed quickly, but obviously the Chu State will not do this.
Bai Tu understands this, but he does not dare to guarantee that in the wave of industrialization, this "shortcut" will not change the attitude of some families, and then cause any chain reaction.
In order to avoid the flood beast being released, Bai Tu felt that it was necessary to take precautions, and only the imperial court could stabilize it in the early stage, and he didn't look at the shortcut.
Hearing this, Lu Kang thought about it carefully, and finally nodded, after all, the biggest problem is still the fifth point......
"What does the so-called 'profiteering' mean by the king?" Lu Kang asked.
"There is nothing, there is no technical content, and you can still make money...... Hahaha, Lu Lao doesn't have to think about it, it's just that he has suffered so many losses before, so he must hold on to some money, right? In the end, the income of the official workshop can be about the same as the private industrial tax. The white lion said widely.
In fact, the bottom line in Bai Tu's heart is one-half......
"Your Majesty, the official workshop also has normal employment expenses, but the net profit goes into the treasury, if it is really similar to the industrial tax, the scale is several times larger than that of the private workshop, right? This is also not conducive to the management of the Ministry of Civil Affairs...... "Lu Kang actually knows that this is not the bottom line of the white map.
However, Bai Tu is only talking about the general direction, since the Ministry of Civil Affairs is mentioned, then it is Lu Su who can negotiate on his behalf.
There are two more chips in the white map, one is technology - technology is provided by the white map, if you only look at the short term, the white map can rely on technology to monopolize any industry.
Theoretically, Bai Tu is just taking advantage of the monopoly and not taking anything from them directly, and the reason why he talks to them is just that he doesn't want to leave trouble, after all, the technology will always be digested one day.
Another bargaining chip is that the official square system is a three-yuan system, in addition to the official square directly under the Chu court, there are also county-level official squares and county-level official squares.
What kind of chips is this?
Except for Lu Bu, everyone here can understand that this is to give the local nobles and wealthy families room for rentier, and at the same time they are also divided - for example, the Lu family and the Sun family are in Wu County, and it is foreseeable that there will be many county-level official offices in Wu County, which will not be as strict as the official offices directly under the imperial court, that is, ...... There are quite a few locations!
Before the popularization of education, the advantage of the scholar clan was not only in "financial resources", but also in terms of "talent", and they could also maintain an absolute advantage for a long time, so everyone had to be "just" together.
However, only those who stand "Chu" have a place to come in and "just eat......
