Chapter 237: A newcomer who can be a human being
Under the arched bridge in the back garden of the palace.
A few ladies sprinkled on fish food.
Under the bridge, the living water brought in from the outside makes the stream clean and clear, and at the bottom of the river, the colorful fine sand grains can be seen clearly.
The little fish flock in groups, their tails wagging around, and they make their way back and forth in the water world.
"Hee-hee."
Ten-year-old Zhu Zhiming, the youngest lady in the palace, leaned out of the bamboo fence excitedly, wanting to swim like a fish.
Distance.
In the pavilion, Zhu Di frowned, Xu stood up, and was about to speak to stop it, when Zhu Zhiming's eldest sister Zhu Yuying pulled Zhu Zhiming back.
Seemingly, as if he was teaching her a lesson, Zhu Zhiming lowered his head aggrievedly.
"There's an eldest sister here."
Zhu Gaochi, who was accompanying him in the pavilion, comforted his parents.
The two brothers, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, disappeared without a trace, but no one was worried, some of them followed.
Today's sun is shining, and Zhu Di is about to leave the palace in the near future and go to Liaodong to lead the army, taking advantage of his leisure.
Zhu Gaochi proposed that the family gather in the garden to play, so there is today's scene.
Zhu Di is now more and more satisfied with Zhu Gaochi.
Except for the eldest in Taoism, who seems to be a little wooden, the rest of the affairs, whether it is official business or taking care of the brothers and sisters in the family, Zhu Di is happy.
"My father has already opened his mouth to your imperial grandfather and pointed out the daughter of the Guo family, if there is no accident, the matter is probably decided."
Zhu Gaochi had no superfluous expression.
There are not many records of the Guo family's daughter in history, but through a few strokes, it can be seen that this woman is indeed beautiful.
As for who is more beautiful, Xu Miaojin and Guo Jiannu, it can only be said that each has its own merits, it is difficult to assess, and they have fascinated a generation of emperors.
In Zhu Gaochi's view.
Xu Miaojin is in talent, and the daughter of the Guo family is in character.
In the words of later generations, Xu Miaojin is a progressive woman, and Guo Jianu is a traditional woman, in Zhu Gaochi's heart, these two words are not derogatory terms, and they are not linked to other derogatory terms.
"My father got this opportunity and was able to control the military power in Liaodong, plus the support of the Guo family, I hope my father will not waste this opportunity."
Zhu Gaochi said sincerely.
He has no plans to develop industry in Liaodong, not in recent years, because Liaodong's current confidence is too weak.
If he successfully enters the capital in the future, it will be a game of chess in the whole country at that time.
"How do you talk to your father?" Xu raised his hand and lightly slapped Zhu Gaochi's arm, and Zhu Di was also laughed at by the eldest son's words.
"It seems that you are used to calling people outside, and now you are arranging Lao Tzu." Zhu Di deliberately stared at him.
Zhu Gaochi was not frightened by his "General of the Expedition to the Great Part", and knew Zhu Di too well.
Zhu Di threw away the melon seeds in his hand, clapped his hands and stood up, and pointed at Zhu Gaochi, "Follow me." ”
The father and son left the gazebo.
Xu didn't worry about them, she saw the changes between the two fathers and sons in the past few years, since the boss started doing things outside, Zhu Di never beat the boss again.
Last year.
The second child went to Wei to learn experience, and Zhu Di never beat the second child again.
"A few years ago, the imperial history impeached the royal palace, and there was one of them, about the royal palace colluding with the Japanese invaders, you can talk about it."
"The son did not hide this from his father." Zhu Gaochi followed behind Zhu Di and explained.
"We know."
Zhu Di nodded.
"If you want to develop Jinzhou in the shortest time, you need rich manpower, but the population of Liaodong is insufficient and cannot provide the manpower you need, so with the help of the power of the Japanese invaders, you can buy slaves from Japan for use." Zhu Gaochi said succinctly.
Zhu Di asked curiously: "Didn't you recruit a lot of people from Shandong and the south, I heard that there are thousands of people, this is not enough?" ”
"What can a few thousand people do." Zhu Gaochi disagreed.
"And it is my Ming people who have been recruited, we must control the intensity of labor, we can't lose our bodies, and only by using slaves recklessly can we develop Jinzhou with the greatest efficiency."
If the barren Golden State is developed according to the model of China Heavy Industries, not only is the efficiency low, but the most important input cost is too high and the time is long.
The final gains, taken together in all aspects, are equivalent to taking decades to recoup the cost, which is very detrimental to the operation of the economy.
The most advantageous "deal" is to use slaves to offset these negatives, lay the foundations of the Golden State as soon as possible, and then exchange them for workers to receive the fruits.
This is true at the national level.
"The workers of the forest farms will develop into a group of consumers in the future, and the slave workers will be the consumables at the beginning of the development of industry."
"You're ruthless."
Zhu Di said again, but there was no dissatisfaction on his face.
As a superior.
Sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice the interests of some people, which not only hurts feelings, but also easily causes civil strife, so in Zhu Di's view, it is better for the boss to come up with the idea of sacrificing the interests of outsiders than sacrificing the interests of his own people.
I have to admire the idea of the eldest son, always by surprise.
"It seems that the fact that the Japanese in Guangdong is gradually subsiding is probably because of Jinzhou." Zhu Di was thoughtful.
"Could it be that the Japanese are cooperating with the Golden State?"
"I can't say everything, but many people have joined the slave trade." Zhu Gaochi replied.
"The slave trade?" Zhu Di read the new words.
Zhu Gaochi patiently explained.
The slave trade was viable.
What is the best thing about Daming?
The product of civilization - a commodity.
The Chinese civilization has achieved self-sufficiency, that is to say, the goods of the world, basically China has its own products that can be replaced.
As a result, there is not much external demand.
Maritime trade is costly, dangerous, and the goods that have been shipped with great difficulty cannot be sold at a high price in China, or even cannot be sold.
Unless it's a specialty like spices and ivory.
And the commodities of Chinese civilization, whether it is the surrounding forces and countries, or the Arab and Western countries, are all needed.
Silk, porcelain, etc., can be sold in all regions of the world at a high price, ten times more profitable, so that people cannot give up.
Most of these goods need to be exchanged for silver.
However, the national policy of the Ming Dynasty was to control foreign trade in disguise, avoid this exchange mode, and control it to a certain extent.
They are not machines, they are also people.
If you are human, you will be afraid of death.
Just like the frontier peoples always want to plunder the interior, there have been successes in history, but more often than not, every time they fail, they will also die.
It's all about living.
So Zhu Gaochi offered a new model, the slave trade.
In an agrarian society, there is little demand for slaves, but the development of industry requires a lot of input, so there is a demand for slaves.
The Woko provided slaves to the Golden State for silver, or simply exchanged for goods and even weapons.
Is it easy to rob the Ming Dynasty, which is not familiar with the place of life, or is it easy to rob the two hundred vassal states in a familiar country?
Historically, this period was a period of disappearance of the Japanese Invaders, and this is proof of this.
The most stable period in Japan was a few hundred years later, when the Tokugawa family ruled and weakened the power of the two hundred daimyos.
At that time, Japan was considered to be a stable national system.
In today's Japan, there are as many daimyo as dogs, and the power of the Japanese is more powerful than many daimyos, but Japan is too poor.
In the hands of the poor, other people's grain jars are empty and unprofitable.
Now it's different.
The poor in Japan became valuable and could not only sell them for money, but also exchange them for daimyo goods.
So Zhu Gaochi didn't worry that the wouldn't cooperate with him.
"This is Gu raising." Zhu Di showed his concern, "If you raise a Gu King, there will be endless disasters." ”
"The Japanese are a dog, very obedient to the strong, and bared their teeth for the weak, if our Ming has been strong, I am not afraid that these people will be disobedient, if our Ming is weakened, not to mention the Japanese Kou, even the surrounding will be eyeing the tiger, so the son is not unfounded."
Zhu Gaochi said confidently.
"If only you had an idea." Zhu Di reminded him, and when he saw that his son had planned, he didn't exhort him too much.
Peking Grand Theatre.
The seats were full, tickets were hard to find, and the new drama on the stage made the audience excited and applauded.
"How's it going, did you play you well?"
Huo Zhen said deliberately.
"Go, go, go."
Wang Zhen's face was red like a boiled shrimp, but fortunately, the light line was unknown, so people couldn't see it, otherwise he would have been eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.
I heard that the new play came from the idea of the little prince.
But this fucking photographed herself so well, so that Wang Zhen felt an inexplicable emotion, proud and ashamed.
I always feel like a shackle on my body, and I must pay attention to my words and deeds in the future.
Such.
Actually, it's not bad.
Wang Zhen suddenly thought that he hoped that people would look at him like this.
Following the flow of people and leaving the Peking Grand Theater, I heard people around me praising General Wang, saying that General Wang was the same character as Grandpa Yue.
Wang Zhen lowered his head and said nothing, and the Huo Zhen beside him had a hint of envy in his eyes.
Suddenly.
Wang Zhen felt that there was nothing to ask for in this life, only his current name, which filled his heart and couldn't hold anything else.
Forest farms, shipping administration, as long as it can help economic development and improve the lives of the people, Wang Zhen doesn't feel a pity.
The spiritual wealth has indeed changed Wang Zhen.
Wang Zhen chose to stay in the forest farm.
The momentum of the shipmaster, he can see, will definitely surpass the forest farm, originally tended to be in charge of the ship master, but the forest farm is the foundation, and he has now changed his mind.
Thereupon.
China Heavy Industry transferred a new person in charge, Han Qi, the former railway director of Hejian Station, and he and Wang Zhen discussed the matter of shipping administration in front of Zhu Gaochi.
"If you want to develop a shipyard, there are several major problems."
"First of all, the keel of the hull needs big wood, and there is no shortage in Liaodong, but the wood needs to be processed, dried, wrapped in oil, etc., and the preliminary work will take several years, but the manufacturing time will be shorter."
"Today's fishing boats are mostly manufactured by simple means, and they are not used for a long time, and the boats built are also small, and they can still cope with it."
"And Lushun has dried a lot of wood, and it will take at least a year, so how to develop this year depends on your ideas."
"There are also fish source problems, wind and wave problems, typhoon problems, etc., which are all major matters worthy of attention and cannot be neglected."
Wang Zhen said it comprehensively.
After listening to this, Zhu Gaochi felt that Wang Zhen had indeed worked hard.
Han Qi's talent is strong in organizational ability.
Although he needs to learn, he can stand out from many webmasters, Zhu Gaochi trusts Han Qi and can achieve his goals.
Zhu Gaochi waited for Wang Zhen to finish speaking, and helped supplement the situation off the coast of Lushun.
Most of the water in the Yellow Sea is more than 60 meters deep, and the deepest point is just over 200 meters. The East China Sea is usually three or four hundred meters deep, and the deepest part is more than two thousand three hundred meters.
The Yellow Sea is surrounded by continental winds on three sides, surrounded by the word "several", and the average current velocity is 10 centimeters per second.
The bottom of the sea is gentle, and the water is not deep, resulting in multiple islands and reefs, allowing ships to have a rich foothold in the sea.
The average wave height of the Yellow Sea is mostly 0.1-0.7 meters, while the wave height of the wind and waves in the East China Sea is generally 0.8~1.9 meters, and the annual average wave height of the whole sea area is almost more than 1 meter.
Therefore, when Fujian people go to sea, it is really a life of nine deaths.
In the environment of many mountains and little land and insufficient food, the ancient adage that Ning goes to the mountains and does not go to sea is still spread, which shows the difficulty of Fujian going to sea.
The most difficult degree of going to sea in the Yellow Sea is only the minimum degree of going to sea in Fujian.
Fujian's advantage is also due to geographical reasons, although the waves are large, but it is easy to develop foreign trade and immigration.
For hundreds of years, most of the overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia have come from Fujian.
These overseas Chinese made important contributions to the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty.
The Yellow Sea has so many advantages, and the Bohai Sea and Liaodong Bay, which are more stable than the Yellow Sea, are more stable sea areas than the Yellow Sea, so the development of fishing and shipping industry in Lushun is Zhu Gaochi's deliberate plan.
The current era, the difficulties faced are the lightest of all the seas, both political and environmental.
Zhu Di left, and Zhu Gaochi re-supervised Beiping.
Wang Zhen also went back to Lushun and brought back Zhu Gaochi's letters, which were distributed to Sun Yan and Deng Xing's brothers.
Han Qi stayed in Beiping temporarily, and did not go to Lushun as soon as possible, but ran to the headquarters every day, grinding various departments to ask for resources.
"If you don't hurry up and do the right thing, you will pester us all day long, and you are not afraid that the little prince will be dissatisfied." Cai Wen, Minister of Finance, quipped.
"Sharpening knives is not wrong for woodcutters, and sharpening knives first can improve efficiency." Han Qi said with a smile.
Cai Wen shook his head helplessly, "The allocation of various departments was budgeted a year ago, so I don't dare to talk to you." ”
According to the model proposed by Xiao Wangye, the entire system of China Heavy Industry is a planned distribution system.
For example, China Heavy Industries formulates the production plan of each factory according to the report of each factory, the forecast for the coming year, and the development goals.
According to the production plan, the required raw materials, food stamps, workers, etc., each factory makes a report and reports it to the headquarters.
The departments of the headquarters also made budgets, and finally the money and food were summarized in the Finance Department, which allocated funds.
Equally.
Downstream iron mines, coal mines, miscellaneous mines, etc., will be based on the orders of China Heavy Industries, and the corresponding production will be formulated.
Including the Honeycomb Coal Chamber of Commerce, it also follows this system.
"You let the little prince approve all the strips, and the finance department can handle special things with you, otherwise you will break through my threshold, and I will not let go."
Seeing that Cai Wen didn't enter, Han Qi could only give up, and reluctantly turned back to beg Zhu Gaochi.
"For the whole of last year, the headquarters transferred 200 ploughing cattle, 500 mules and donkeys, and the rest of the pigs and sheep are not counted."
"You want to raise three floors outside of this year's plan, what do you say?" Zhu Gaochi asked in confusion.
"Although the shipyard and the forest farm are separated, the two are interdependent, and if you want to achieve the 100 ships plan, you must first develop the forest farm."
Building a hundred ships is one of Han Qi's tasks.
"You're going to be human."
Zhu Gaochi was noncommittal.
This matter should be Wang Zhenlai, and he did speak, but after being rejected by the Finance Department, he gave up.
However, Han Qi was able to pull down his face and beg his grandfather to tell his grandmother.
So Zhu Gaochi was not angry.
