Clerk's room.

The cubicle is the waiting room, Li Qi sits in the waiting room stiffly, there is a cup of hot tea on the table, he didn't drink it, and quietly looked outside.

There is a transparent glass, which is said to be the product of the R&D Division, and Li Qi can see the profit of this thing at a glance.

However, this product is not on the list, indicating that the main factory will prepare its own factory.

In the past six months, the R&D Department has heard that the results are gratifying.

There are things called chemical fertilizers that do not know the efficacy, and there are also new products such as coal black, asphalt, and cement, many of which are already in the practical stage and will soon be put into production.

Coal Black is a colleague of the outer cabinet, who traded with merchants in the south in Tianjin, and placed a total order of more than 1,000 catties.

This item is expensive, and most of the merchants in Beiping Mansion buy it in two, or the merchants in the south have a lot of money.

The south really has money, but unfortunately the development plan of the main factory, even Shandong has been stopped, and I don't know when it will be restarted.

But none of this was his business, and he left the closet.

There are many opportunities in the outer cabinet to make a lot of money, and he earned eighty taels of silver a year in the outer cabinet last year.

Eighty taels a year, if the main factory launched the Shandong market plan, he is confident that it can be doubled, but he has a higher pursuit.

Through the glass, he looked at the clerical room.

The documents in the clerical room are all from the health office, and I heard that the three people who have been recruited recently are the housekeepers of the health office, that is, the children of thousands of families.

The clerical room has been doubled in size, with eight long tables, and there is a whole data room next door, where the paper of the articles of association provided by each factory is placed in an orderly manner.

After sorting out the pile of papers, the young paperwork opened a yellow cover with a crease in the middle, put the sorted paper in, and then closed the yellow cover.

Pick up the brush in the yellow cover and record it, August 17, the 26th year of Hongwu, the output and sales of the main factory in July.

It contains the information provided by various factories and workshops, and it is not thin to collect it, and the document is taken to the data room next door and archived in the warehouse.

Li Qi withdrew his gaze, although he didn't know what the clerk was up to, but everyone seemed capable.

The clerical room is the closest place to the little prince, more than 20 guards in Beiping, how many children want to come in.

In the conference room next door.

Ma Lin and Xu Ning had a fierce dispute, Ma Lin ignored it, it was Xu Ning who recommended him, and he also knew that Xu Ning would not care.

The two are smart people, and they know that arguing in front of the little prince will not only not make the little prince angry, but will increase the impression of the little prince on the two.

"The railway project has won a huge victory under the dispatch of Xu's shopkeeper, and many sections have been successfully opened to traffic." Marin slapped Xu Ning's ass.

Xu Ning scoffed, knowing what Ma Lin would say next, and directly interrupted: "Although this year's construction plan has reached seven or eight out of ten, next year's construction plan will be doubled, and the railway engineering team needs more manpower." ”

Eight months have passed since the start of the railway project at the beginning of the year, and the progress is neither fast nor slow, but it has been completed on schedule.

Next year has been proposed, on the basis of this year's main line, to extend the state capitals.

Beiping alone has seven counties and four prefectures.

Daxing County, Wanping County, Liangxiang County, Changping County, Shunyi County, Miyun County, Huairou County, Tongzhou and its subordinate Miao County, Jizhou and its subordinate Pinggu County, Zhuozhou and its subordinate Fangshan County

The northern parallel province has eight prefectures, 37 prefectures, and 136 counties.

"According to the new plan, next year it will cover 37 prefectures in the northern parallel province, as well as some populous counties in the state capital, and the manpower of the railway engineering team cannot be reduced."

In front of Xu Ning, Ma Lin fell into the disadvantage, so he looked at everyone with a bitter face and played the bitter card.

"The preparatory plan for the construction of the outer cabinet factories cannot be completed with the current construction capacity of the engineering team, and more workers need to be recruited."

Xu Ning has old qualifications, but the current income of the railway is flat, and it can only support itself, and it does not make a profit for the main plant.

The engineering corps is different.

Relying on projects in the private sector, such as new coal furnaces, orders for the construction and renovation of workshops by the Honeycomb Coal Chamber of Commerce, as well as orders from the royal government, various government offices, and large households, plus scattered small projects.

The engineering team's profit last year was more than 50,000 taels of silver, so Ma Lin had the confidence to compete with Xu Ning.

The two expressed their opinions, and then the rest of the shopkeepers also made requests.

Predictable.

With the advancement of the 100-factory plan, the demand for labor will rise sharply, and these productivity will create huge wealth.

In short, it is an economic theory of an increase in per capita income.

In traditional agrarian societies, food is the main commodity, while industrial societies expand the interchange of the rest of the commodities and commodities to create greater value.

People can't live without food, but money doesn't just buy food.

One tael of silver and two stones of grain, a family of five, consumes five taels of silver a year to satisfy the stomach, and the rest of the silver is used for more needs.

Clothing, furniture, farm tools, civilian supplies, etc.

For example, if you get a tael of silver for a pot and get a tael of silver, you can buy a set of clothes, and for a tael of silver for your clothes, you can buy another pot and a pot of silver, and then you can buy another set of clothes.

Industry exploited the rest of the land: iron ore, coal mines, copper mines, gold mines, silver mines, lime, marble, ......

With the development of technology, it has begun to consume all kinds of rare minerals, gas ores, and liquid ores......

Therefore, later scholars pointed out that Western countries imitated the British Industrial Revolution, failed technologically, and only succeeded in imitating the production model.

Because coal is the most efficient land resource in our day, what is needed is the technology about coal.

Start with coal and promote all walks of life.

"Can we relax the restrictions on recruitment and switch to recruiting households?" Zhou Shifeng proposed.

Zhu Gaochi shook his head.

At present, the factory is mainly recruiting military households, and not just to strengthen the government's control over military households.

"Civilian households have fewer restrictions than military households, and the wages they receive are easier to convert to buying land with their savings."

"Military households are different from civilian households, and their purchase of land has identity constraints, which will prompt them to take out their money for consumption."

An ordinary military household is inseparable from the guard, and his identity is not qualified to annex Tian Mu, unless he is a military general.

And the system at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty has not collapsed, and the military field is not something that military generals can occupy at will.

The military household system indirectly restricts military households from buying land.

A military worker's annual salary of eighteen taels of silver only needs five taels of silver to fill the stomachs of his family.

Then the extra thirteen taels of silver can be taken out and consumed.

10,000 military workers can create a consumer market of 130,000 taels of silver every year.

100,000 military workers are 1.3 million taels of silver.

1.3 million taels of silver will be put into the market and rolled in a circular manner, and the production value created will be several times 1.3 million taels of silver.

If it is an ordinary household, they will save thirteen taels of silver to buy land, and the gains and losses of economic development outweigh the losses.

Of course, the development of things is not so simple, and households will also consume.

The total number of employees of China Heavy Industry has exceeded 15,000, and if you include the employment of coal mines and honeycomb coal, the total number of employees may exceed 30,000 or 40,000.

The other tens of thousands of workers, whose wages are not as good as those of China Heavy Industries, will also generate consumption.

It's just that at present, Zhu Gaochi needs the market, so he naturally has to give priority to military households.

This is a matter of social resource allocation.

Later generations restricted the field trade, and even minimized the profit of the field trade, making it unprofitable, similar to this economic theory.

There is no upper limit to industry, and the more people who invest, the more goods are produced, unlike land crops that have restrictions.

Then the benefits brought by the workers will exceed the wages of agriculture, and the wages obtained by the workers are far from being comparable to farming.

Workers can use the silver they get from the trade in commodities to buy the grain that the farmers harvest from the land.

This pattern leads to the value of industry exceeding the value of agriculture, indicating an unequal exchange of the value of industrial and agricultural products, which can be called scissors difference.

"The issue of employment still starts with military households."

Zhu Gaochi emphasized: "In the past, poor households were recruited from the health center, which solved the problem of poverty in the health center, but now it can be changed to recruit retired military households. ”

"Will the age of retired military households affect the factory?" Zhou Shifeng quickly thought of the problem and raised concerns.

"Then let the health center lower the age of retirement, and all military households over the age of 40 in the army will be discharged, and it can even be lowered to 35 years old."

"Unless it is an elite, or a low-ranking military attaché, an ordinary soldier, with the age of thirty-five as a limit, quits the army, and the factory accepts, providing a stable and well-paid job."

This method has aroused people's conversations.

The in-depth combination of China Heavy Industry and military households makes the people here no stranger to military households.

"This move is good for the army."

Xu Ning spoke out in favor.

He was in charge of the railway engineering team, and he had dealings with the guards from top to bottom, and even had a friendship with the commander.

For example, Xu Ning said: "The army can recruit more young people, and the retired middle-aged people have a calm personality and the discipline retained by the army, which fully meets the employment requirements of the factory." ”

"It not only solves the problem of factory employment, but also improves the combat effectiveness of the army, and finally resettles retired military households."

The employment requirements of heavy industry are different.

Zhu Gaochi is very sure that people between the ages of 35 and 40 have a more serious personality, recognize the reality, know what they want, and have a superior and stable job.

For the sake of this long-term job, and to be able to pass it on to the next generation, they are willing to fight for it.

The front line that is suitable for the environment of the heavy industry workshop, rather than the Internet companies of later generations, needs young people under the age of 35.

There are 23 guards in the Beiping Metropolitan Division, and 17 guards in the Northern Parallel Division, not counting the independent defense posts, with a total of 40 guards.

The 224,000 households were to be responsible for both the tuntian fields and the army, and they were to be self-sufficient.

Each household provides one regular ding, which is 220,000 people, and another surplus ding, that is, more than 400,000 troops.

Therefore, Zhu Di launched a northern expedition in Beiping, bringing out more than 100,000 troops at every turn.

Because manpower is too abundant, in Zhu Gaochi's opinion, it is really a waste of manpower.

It is better to use the material resources needed by more than 200,000 people to create a cavalry team of 100,000, with elite soldiers and fine armor, which is more invincible than relying on the accumulation of numbers.

In the past, agriculture could not be supported for a long time, but with industry, it can be supported.
