Chapter 440: Let's Make a Name in History
Liao Yong saw a different society.
The prosperity of Tianjin Caohe Wharf, the sleepless city of Beiping, the brand-new high-rise buildings, wider streets, parks, squares.
Tall water towers and huge bell towers were built everywhere.
A constant stream of horse-drawn carriages.
People riding mules, donkeys and horses.
A dense network of railways, and steam trains that you can see from time to time.
Restaurants and restaurants are lined up on the streets.
Shops of all kinds.
Neat lampposts, street shops hung with endless signs, flags, lanterns, and even ropes hanging from the streets, with rows of small flags and decorations of various colors underneath.
There are street signs on the streets.
There are public toilets on every street.
The streets were crowded with people dressed in all kinds of clothes, and there were quite a few women.
In the surrounding suburbs of Beijing, new urban areas have been built one after another, without expanding the city walls, and there are high-rise buildings everywhere.
The most is the construction site.
Construction site after construction site, house after house is under construction.
The new buildings are paved with more new technologies, brick roads for heating with honeycomb coal in winter, pressurized wells, pipes for centralized water supply.
Bright glass windows, clean and nice paint.
In the agricultural machinery shop, Liao Yong saw all kinds of agricultural machinery, some of which were ancient records he had seen in books, and some of which he had never seen.
The Peking Library, a huge eight-story building, contains 100,000 books, and there is a huge pool under the square of the building.
At the top of the building, a water tower was hung, and strange pipes, said to be for fire prevention.
Fire Protection Hall.
Dozens of water wheels, water wheel vehicles are hung with water pumps, and after pumping water, people use pressure to spray water to high places.
Guard Department.
The yamen, which was separated from the political secretary, was responsible for maintaining local law and order, arresting small and other public security work.
"This is what the teacher said, the small yamen to be implemented in Beiping."
Liao Yong woke up.
One by one, the yamen were separated from the chief secretary, and although they were still under the management of the chief secretary, the powers of the chief secretary were still reduced.
The pressure in Liao Yong's heart increased.
The thriving Beiping is not full of complaints in response to the public opinion of Tianfu, and the people are not happy.
"Sell newspapers."
"Sell newspapers."
The children who sold the newspaper changed batch after batch.
There is an endless stream of people flowing into Beiping, and these newcomers, who have not yet enjoyed the dividends of Beiping's industrialization development, are still on the poverty line.
Many of them are still looking for opportunities in Peking, or have just joined the workforce and have not yet had the savings to improve their living environment.
"Get a newspaper."
Liao Yong said.
I found a restaurant, ordered two dishes in the hall, and ate while reading the newspaper.
"Newspapers are a powerful tool to change public opinion, it seems that I have to write a letter to my mentor to remind my mentor that the branch opened by the Beiping newspaper in the capital is going to find an opportunity to ban it."
Liao Yong did not inherit the title of the family due to family reasons, and is currently only a free rider, which he is dissatisfied with.
So he chose to take refuge in the imperial grandson's line and worship Fang Xiaoru as his teacher.
This road is the Cotai Strip.
Black and white take all.
Historically, this person rose like a rocket, and the official was the governor, and this person's vision and talent were visible.
The power of newspapers, Liao Yong soon discovered.
In the south.
The newspapers in Peiping did not pass through, so public opinion in the south was in the hands of the squire.
The newspapers say who is good.
Then a lot of people will be affected.
Equally.
Where there are no newspapers, the squires say that whoever is bad, the common people will be affected and think who is bad.
In the newspaper, Liao Yong also saw the names of several people.
"These people actually came to Beiping."
The wealth of the salt merchants, the Ming Dynasty is well known, and the names of the largest salt merchants are also known by many people.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was not people's stereotypical impression that they were completely resistant to business.
The opening of the law was an encouragement to the salt merchants in the early Ming Dynasty.
It has brought benefits to the imperial court, the border army, and the salt merchants, and has obtained the active participation of the salt merchants.
Liao Yong saw the names of these people.
"It seems that the salt merchants support the Beiping model."
The society of Beiping, with its high degree of mobility, is unable to control the population, and Liao Yong wears ordinary clothes, as if he is a scholar from the south.
There are also a large number of scholars from the south in Beiping, which does not arouse the curiosity of others.
Several of the guards officials I had contacted before were either carried away by hatred and could be used but not worth reusing.
Either he accepts the status quo and does not have the courage to resist, Liao Yong was a little confused for a while.
So he soon left Beiping, took the train on the railway, and went to Shanxi and Shaanxi.
On the day Liao Yong left.
Research Division.
In the Social Theory Research Office, a staff member visited Liu Tong.
He was one of the first writers to submit articles to newspapers, became professional contributors, and won cultural awards.
"Master Liu, the article you published at the beginning of the year that was biased towards the future society has set off a new genre in literature."
"Don't dare to be." Liu Tong said politely.
"I'm here to bother Master Liu today, because our department is newly established and specializes in social development theory."
"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about what to do."
Liu Tong was very enthusiastic.
The newly established department employs many well-known people in society, including well-known mathematicians, well-known inventors, medical scientists, etc.
Liu Tong is a model figure in the new era, and he has been paying attention to this, and he couldn't help but be excited when he was approached today.
"That's right."
"The purpose of the establishment of our department is to hire virtuous people in the society to calculate the development of the society through various aspects, draw inferences based on the data of various aspects, and submit them to the above for reference."
"You are a master of literature and the founder of the theoretical inference of the future society, so I sincerely invite you to join our department."
Liu Tong suddenly realized, and said embarrassedly: "My article, in fact, many are wrong, and many have been denied by reality. ”
The agrarian revolution in Beiping and the development of major projects in the four provinces directly changed the social model, and once again the great change, most of Liu Tong's inferences based on the social development of the previous years became a joke.
"It's normal to make mistakes, but it's not realistic if everyone can deduce the future."
The staff was unimpressed and took the initiative to explain: "According to the rating, different subsidies will be given every month, and there is no need to sit on duty." ”
"What our department prepares for Master Liu is a talent subsidy of three dollars per month, and he usually doesn't do anything, and he will do it right."
Such a good thing, triangular money is nothing to Liu Tong now, but Liu Tong has not reached the point of treating money as dung.
So Liu Tong agreed to the staff's hiring.
After joining, Liu Tong knew the enormity of this department.
There are several teams.
The team assigned by Liu Tong is a team led by a mathematician to allocate the estimated numerical model to the social population.
His job is to disseminate his brains, make inferences about the future society, and complement the model-architecture of this group.
The team's office is located in the headquarters area of China Heavy Industries.
Because of personnel reasons, each project team is not in the same place, and Liu Tong's project team has a huge data room.
Liu Tong saw more classified information, including future industrial development plans, future military reform plans, future railway construction plans, and even large plans for the clan system.
Before reading these materials, Liu Tong signed a confidentiality ordinance with strict measures and punishments.
Liu Tong was upright, and he never thought of betraying Beiping, so naturally there was no pressure, and he happily signed the confidentiality regulations.
After seeing these materials, Liu Tong realized how shallow his previous inferences were, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart.
Next door to them, is the Workers' and Peasants' Population Distribution Project Team.
Liu Tong stayed in the project team for half a month, read all the information, didn't need to report anymore, and spent another half a month at home to make a huge inference map of the future society.
Some of the questions he raised, as well as those raised by others, have attracted attention after comprehensive consideration.
The research department was presented to Zhu Gaochi.
"That's why I'm driving the power of merchants."
"Manpower is limited, people are not as good as heaven, in order to ensure social stability, the group of businessmen must exist and give strong support."
Zhu Gaochi explained.
After listening to Zhu Gaochi's explanation, everyone suddenly realized.
China Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. can obviously swallow all the industry, but at Zhu Gaochi's insistence, part of the industry will be returned to the society.
"The capital of businessmen is concentrated, and the rate of making money is much higher than that of ordinary people, and this speed will get faster and faster."
"Under the theory of ensuring the growth of the middle-class social model, various rules and regulations and social responsibility requirements will also be formulated for businessmen."
"The high inheritance tax is just one of them, and there are various workers' treatment and living conditions that are on par with China Heavy Industries."
"In the end, it is necessary to form a model that there is no difference between workers inside and outside China Heavy Industry."
The cake is big.
It's those groups who divide the cake.
In the process of how to distribute, ensuring that the people are allocated the largest piece is bound to offend many people.
Only when all sectors of society have reached a tacit understanding can this rule be finally followed.
Western modern society.
It was the Western workers, under hundreds of years of oppression, who set off one resistance movement after another, that allowed all sectors of society to reach this tacit understanding.
What about Da Ming.
The happiness of the people never falls from the sky.
Just as there is no savior in the world, everything can only be done on its own.
Zhu Gaochi wants to be this savior, of course, he knows how much resistance he will encounter in the future.
"I'm afraid it will make many people unhappy." Jin Zhong reminded.
Jin Zhong is a talent.
If the little prince does this, even if there are many people inside, there will be dissatisfaction.
In the process of industrialization, many progressive landlords and scholars, as well as merchants, took the initiative to join the process.
Their strength is growing fast.
This class will never disappear, there will only be new changes.
There are no senior nobles and no deep-rooted landlord class in Beiping, so Zhu Gaochi faces little resistance.
But that doesn't mean there aren't anywhere else.
And the dragon slayer eventually becomes an evil dragon.
Now Zhu Gaochi has not announced a high inheritance tax, but sooner or later it will be announced, and on the day of the announcement, even if it is the loyal Zhang Dehui, who dares to guarantee that he will not breed dissatisfaction in his heart.
Because according to the inheritance tax formulation method in Zhu Gaochi's heart, the estate left by Zhang Dehui after his death will be subject to a full half of the tax.
Zhu Gaochi looked at Jin Zhong in front of him.
Heroes of the martyrdom.
Isn't it his help?
These middle- and lower-ranking officers, who joined the formation of the new army, were not affected when the rights and interests of the guards were deprived of their rights.
Jin Zhong's family has long been in decline, and he is also a person who can be used by Zhu Gaochi.
It's just that in the growth of this group of people, what Zhu Gaochi should be vigilant about is not to let them quickly degenerate into traditional forces.
"With Mr. Jin, Mr. Ge, and Zhu Neng, these generals, as long as we are united internally, external resistance cannot be shaken."
Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.
Hearing the little prince's heartfelt words, Jin Zhong was extremely moved, the one who is a confidant dies, the prince is the one who gives him a chance, and the little prince is the one who cultivates him.
"Don't worry, the little prince will definitely swear to the death."
Zhu Gaochi took Jin Zhong's hand trustingly.
In the years since I came to Daming, from a fifteen-year-old boy to a twenty-one-year-old young man, the old days seem to be still in front of me.
"Let's leave a name in history and become the ancestors admired by future generations."
"The wish of the little prince is also my wish!"
Jin Zhong laughed.
Zhu Gaochi smiled.
Bloodless change, he never fantasized about.
Not to mention such a big change.
Letting the people take the lion's share of the profits from the cake is an unprecedented change, and there will definitely be bloodshed.
From the day he decided to guide the industrialization of the Chinese model in Beiping and founded China Heavy Industry, Zhu Gaochi knew what he would face.
The path of industrialization development of the Ming Dynasty will definitely not become a more efficient tool for the interest class to suck the blood of the people like the West.
The life expectancy of British workers is ten years lower than the average life expectancy of British farmers.
What a concept it is.
It's inhumane.
Only by walking on the right path from the very beginning, the resistance will become smaller and smaller, otherwise the interest class cultivated by industrialization will be more powerful, and it will be impossible to turn around by personal guidance at that time.
