At the royal family banquet at the end of the 20th year of the Grand Duke, Judy Lanan followed a group of brothers and brought a group of nephews to visit her father and grandfather.

After the ceremony, Emperor Zhu Jingyuan asked the others to take their seats, left the six sons who were going out for training next year, and gave a few more instructions.

After Zhu Jingyuan finished speaking, Zhu Dilanan boldly replied:

"Father, there are some things I want to ask my son."

The other elder brothers were obviously stunned, and immediately complained in their hearts that this little brother was troublesome.

Now in this situation, it is the most worry-free to quickly let Daddy finish his training, everyone goes to eat separately, and then go back to their respective homes.

Zhu Jingyuan suddenly asked Zhu Dilanum to speak with some curiosity.

Judy Lanthanum said with some confusion:

"Father, the child thinks that the business model of a large number of scattered private businessmen to open various trading houses and factories, and produce and sell various commodities separately is relatively inefficient, I don't know if it's right......

Zhu Jingyuan asked with some surprise:

"How did you come up with such an idea?"

Judy Lanthanum replied truthfully:

"My child often goes to the market these days to buy things and tries to shop around to figure out how to buy them.

"The common people and the merchants should do the same thing when they buy things.

"This process is obviously unnecessary, we don't necessarily get the lowest price, and it takes a lot of time.

"Any form of business negotiation is about the method of distributing benefits.

"The various negotiations that are prevalent have wasted a lot of actual production time and slowed down the productivity of the whole world.

"The only effect of this is that the private proprietors make more money than the average worker.

"Not all of the four official factories operate in all industries, nor do they involve the cheapest range, which seems to be deliberately leaving room for them.

"If all goods are jointly operated by the four major government factories, all of them will be priced in a unified manner.

"Then when all the people buy things, they don't need to toss the price, just choose the good things and pay for them to take away."

Zhu Jingyuan was silent for half a second after hearing this:

"Now that you've thought of unified management, do you have any further ideas? For example, what about canceling the transaction directly?

"All of them are working in the four official factories, and no one of them receives any wages or salaries.

"Everything they need for life is also supplied by the four official factories of the imperial court according to demand.

"Do you think this is the most efficient form of social operation?"

After listening to this, Zhu Di Lan had a sudden feeling, and there was a reaction that she could still do this:

"This ...... This seems to be better than simply running a government business and then selling it through the market, which should theoretically be the most efficient......"

Zhu Jingyuan laughed directly after hearing this:

"As you said, it's theoretically the most efficient.

"In fact, the efficiency of social production is directly affected by the labor efficiency of production personnel.

"If everyone only needs to work, they can have a complete life security, and they don't have to worry about all their life needs.

"So, will everyone be more productive than they are now?"

Judy Lanthanum was stunned for half a second and then added:

"Then through reference items such as the size of the contribution and the number of years of service, so that those who have more contributions will have more priority to obtain supply and obtain a higher supply.

"It's going to encourage the workers to work harder."

Zhu Jingyuan continued:

"So how about evaluating this kind of contribution, whether there should be a measurement method, and how about directly using something called money?

"As for the arrangement of supply priority, how about directly using the form of official rank and knighthood grade?"

Judy Lanthanum was stunned again:

"So...... Isn't this a return to the previous form.

"Only the imperial court and the four official factories were retained, and all the people were included in the system.

"Avoid the time for negotiation between private manufacturers."

Zhu Jingyuan said with a smile:

"Then you continue to think backwards from this angle?

"How can we continue to improve the work efficiency of the people on this basis?

"How to make the people take the initiative to work harder.

"How to make people who like to speculate, who like to compete, who like to be aggressive, who like to explore.

"Contribute all your energy and abilities ......"

Judy Lanthanum frowned and lowered her head to think about it for a while, and said tentatively with some uncertainty:

"Give them ...... Get a higher ...... Or even the possibility of unlimited profits?

"That is, let them run their own business, and how much they can earn nominally is their own ability?

"But...... The process of ripping between them is indeed a waste of time......

"When their capital has accumulated and they are no longer involved in the actual operation, it becomes even more meaningless......

Zhu Jingyuan exhaled lightly:

"For a factory worker, for an official court official, we can't let him work all day.

"We even deliberately arrange more vacations to make them feel comfortable and enjoyable.

"However, the owners of a small and medium-sized commercial bank, most of them are their own shopkeepers, and they usually devote themselves to the operation.

"If it's really profitable, they can work more than 10 hours a day, all year round, and they can go up without sleep for days on end.

"The thrill of taking control of their own small world, and the attraction of immeasurable unknown profits, allow them to continue to work efficiently.

"Indeed, after they have grown to a certain extent, they may leave their direct management positions and hire a dedicated manager.

"Especially after the industry is passed on to the second generation, when many heirs are incapable, hiring a professional shopkeeper will become the norm.

"By such a time, the proprietor's family was no longer a laborer, but a mere rentier.

"The treasurers and workers they hired worked for their families or for the imperial court.

"The difference is only that the maximum profit is enjoyed by the family.

"Therefore, the scale of the four major government factories is huge, and it is pressed on the heads of all private manufacturers.

"They don't have the opportunity to grow to the level of the four major official factories.

"So your grandfather presided over the completion of the gift inheritance tax reform.

"We have adopted a system that supports the dismemberment of inheritance, and we continue to dismember private manufacturers that have a tendency to grow.

"Everything that exists in this world now has the logic and principle of its existence......

"Any large-scale change will not only affect the interests of a large group of people, but will also lead to changes in the economic structure of the world.

"Therefore, before the in-depth reform, we must make a comprehensive prediction.

"The process of reform is the process of forming a new social framework to replace the original one.

"Instead of seeing something on an old framework as inappropriate, just delete it, without considering the meaning and purpose of its existence."

Judy Lanthanum was a little confused, but seemed to think of something:

"Just like before the industrial age, the imperial court wanted all the people in the world to be yeoman farmers?"

Zhu Jingyuan said:

"Yes and no, before the Renwu Dynasty, those ancestors really hoped that they could remain unchanged for eternity.

"After the Renwu Dynasty, what we pursued was dynamic balance, the pursuit of controllable change, and at the same time let the whole world develop upward.

"Constantly accumulate the quantity of change to build the quality that leads to qualitative change."

Judy Lanthanum subconsciously asked:

"Father, what is the amount we have accumulated now, and what is the quality of the construction?"

Zhu Jingyuan did not answer this time:

"It's up to you to think for yourself, what I'm pursuing may not be what you want to pursue."

Speaking of this, Zhu Jingyuan looked at the other sons:

"The process of practical training in governance is also a process of enabling you to find the way of government that you want to pursue.

"A generation is going to do a generation's thing.

"What I'm doing isn't necessarily what your generation is going to do.

"But it can be the foundation of your generation.

"So, what I'm doing now is also the first important assessment for you."

The other princes didn't dare to say anything, and they all listened honestly to their teachings.

Judy Lanan also bowed again:

"Remember, child."

After Judy Lan finished talking to her father, the royal family feast finally began.

The next morning, the twenty-first year of the Grand Duke began.

This year, the New Year's Day of the solar calendar is the second day of the lunar calendar, and the Lantern Festival is the fifteenth day of the next month.

Therefore, the eleventh day of the first month of the twenty-first year of the Grand Duke will begin, and the seven-day holiday of the Lantern Festival can be celebrated after a month.

Zhu Di Lan, along with the other five brothers who were in training, set off before the tenth day of the first lunar month.

Zhu Jingyuan said in general terms about the Nantong Automobile Factory, which is not actually next to Nantong Fucheng, but on Chongming Prefecture in the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Chongming is a key development area in Nantong, with a very developed population and industry, and has been changed from a county to a state.

With her secretary and four guards, Zhu Di Lan first went to Chongming Prefecture on the tenth day of the first month to report and register, and then went to the automobile factory the next day to take up her post.

In order to understand Daddy's goal, Judy Lanan began to run around after the report.

When Zhu Jingyuan went to Xintianfu for practical training, he cooperated with Zhu Zhongliang to build a new industrial system in Xintianfu.

Of course, Xintianfu also built the automobile industry, which is also under the control of Xintianfu Huangzhuang.

Later, with the great development of industry, it was mainly Zhu Jingyuan who deliberately guided the four major industrial groups to compete with each other.

Therefore, the factory of the Huangzhuang system is no longer limited to Xintianfu.

A number of factories of different sizes have been built in China and other regions.

The Royal Consortium and the Daming Consortium have invested in factories all over the world from the very beginning.

Nantong Automobile City is the largest automobile industry base in the world, and the four major industrial groups have factories here.

Judy Lanthanum went directly to the factory of the official factory to investigate.

Chat with the workers, craftsmen and management of the official factory to learn about the management system of the factory and their living conditions.

Zhu Di soon realized that the factories of the four official factories were no longer just factories, but de facto grassroots management institutions.

And the depth and breadth of management made Judy Lanthanum feel confused.

In the early days, it seemed to be a dormitory, but it soon became a separate apartment.

Later, it became a regular building, and now it has become a separate courtyard.

The government factory has a large residential area for employees in the suburbs.

Employees can apply for rent, and the monthly rent of a whole yard is only five silver bills, which can live in a large family.

The point is that after 10 years of working in the factory, you don't have to pay rent anymore.

After 20 years of service, the ownership of the yard is transferred directly to the individual.

In other words, once you enter the official factory, you don't have to think about preparing your own house.

The residential area is concentrated, so there is a unified shuttle bus to pick up and drop off.

There are also factory-run schools in the residential area, and primary and secondary schools are located within the factory limits.

Within the confines of one or several provinces, there will also be a factory-run university, or a university that cooperates with the factory.

There is an additional subsidy for students who are able to go to university to attend these schools.

Even if you can't get a scholarship to college, the subsidy provided by the factory can reduce the tuition fee to less than 50 silver bills.

The ordinary production line workers in the factory used to have a salary of 30 to 40 silver bills during the probation period, and after they were regularized, they directly mentioned 50 silver bills.

In other words, one month's salary can pay for a child's tuition for the whole year.

The wages of the fifty silver bills received by the new craftsmen are not low, and the key is that they do not have particularly large hard expenses.

At most, it's about buying a car.

If you want to buy an ordinary one, you need half a year's salary, and if you want to buy a better one, you need to save a year's salary.

At the same time, in factories and residential areas, there are also "shared bicycles", "shared electric vehicles", "shared cars", and "shared trucks".

When you need it, you can borrow it directly with your work card.

There are also their own hospitals in the factory and residential areas, and the cost of medicine is still low.

There are also a variety of entertainment facilities in the factory and residential complex, including a computer hall and a cinema.

The factory also has a logistics department, which is responsible for the repair and maintenance of the factory and employee housing, and will also introduce employees to objects and match employees' children.

The factory has its own wedding team, its own catering team, and its own supply chain of living materials.

A large amount of basic living expenses can be used for the services provided by the factory.

It's not that workers don't spend money at all, but they can be provided on top of the facilities and services available in the factory.

The supply through the distribution channels within the consortium is still the nature of centralized procurement and supply.

It reduces unnecessary repetitive low-price purchases, reduces unnecessary private transactions, and reduces the final cost of living for workers.

According to Zhu Dilan's understanding, a worker can pay half of his salary to meet the food and clothing expenses of his family.

The older generation of workers still wants to save the other half of their wages, but many of the younger generation of workers want to eat, drink and have fun.

The point is that the basic necessities of ordinary people's lives, the most common social life and recreational activities, can be provided in factories and residential areas.

Most of the various things that are indispensable in the life of ordinary people are handled by the group.

Ordinary workers no longer need to bother thinking about how to cope.

Judy Lanthanum was a little confused by this state.

So with these confusions, I went to visit the private automobile factory, as well as the private auto parts factory.

Then Judy Lanthanum experienced a completely different way of life.

The vast majority of the owners of private factories simply pay money, and the workers have nothing to do with their work at all.

Workers have to take their own house tickets and go to the place they want to go to buy a house, or buy land to build a house by themselves.

Workers have to find their own schools for their children and pay all the school fees themselves.

Workers have to prepare their own vehicles for commuting to and from work.

After asking a few proprietors, Zhu Dilanan learned that some private proprietors had tried to imitate the official factories and provide workers with various services in life levels.

But they soon discovered that the cost of providing their services was extremely high due to the huge difference in size.

There are many workers in government factories, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Officials can invest their own money to build estates, open catering companies, wedding companies, and build schools and hospitals on their own.

When the cost is diluted, it's actually cheap.

Private manufacturers only have one factory in one place, and they have to deal with related industries and purchase their services to provide related services.

The total cost of use is much higher than the investment of the government factory.

Coupled with the instability of workers in private factories, many people want to accumulate experience and jump to official factories.

It is also difficult to provide workers with housing that can be transferred to their ownership.

In the end, private manufacturers default to the business strategy of only paying wages and ignoring anything else.

On the contrary, it allows them to reduce their operating costs.

In some private factories, if the products they operate are competitive, the wages of the low-level workers may be higher than those of the government factories.

But even so, most of the workers in private factories still want to change jobs.

Zhu Di Lan asked a lot of workers, and also asked some grassroots managers of private manufacturers.

Many workers may not be able to speak clearly, but managers are usually able to speak.

Judy Lanthanum understands their mindset by communicating with them.

"The private factory is work, and the official factory is life."

The only purpose of working in a private factory is to make money, and then the district will build its own home, and everything for itself and its descendants will depend on itself.

As for the official factory, the official factory itself is home, as long as you enter the official factory and stabilize it, you don't need to worry about the affairs of your life or even future generations.

But what do the proprietors of private manufacturers think?
