If you have seen the mansions of later generations, will you put the so-called buildings that are only a dozen stories high in Beiping in your eyes? Zhu Gaochi had a smile on his face.

But it's really not shocking.

What shocked was the "soil buns" who had never seen the world.

Zhu Di was shocked.

Not only Zhu Di was shocked, but Zhu Yuanzhang was also shocked.

The wharf of Shanghai County, after the beginning of spring, quickly entered the peak season, and thousands of ships poured in at once, and at least more than 50 large ships were docked at the wharf.

It was like a cloud, covering the sea.

The two fathers and sons were dressed in civilian clothes, no different from ordinary fathers and sons, and they were quietly followed by a group of people.

But this is not a private visit to Weifu.

In order not to alarm the people, the local government knows about it.

The crown prince recovered and opened up thousands of miles of land in one fell swoop, and his fame reached its peak at once, and no one was qualified to question it anymore.

The original crown prince lineage, the former emperor's grandson lineage, the exile of exile, the recall of recall, with the passage of time, the general trend has been decided.

And last year's big case, anyone has to admit that the prince's position has been solidified, and no one can shake it.

Something that has never been done in history.

The emperor threw up his sleeves and took off his hands as the shopkeeper, but the prince did not supervise the country but led the army to conquer in person, and the youngest imperial grandson supervised the country.

Such a grand occasion, overnight, became the prosperous state of the literati's pen.

"There are so many ships."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw a lot of big machines that he didn't recognize.

"The geographical environment of Shanghai County is the most advantageous port in Daming, although it was built later than Jinzhou and Tianjin terminals, but it has surpassed them."

The steward of the dock said solemnly.

On the other side was the emperor in the script, the steward was excited, and his hanging hands couldn't help but tremble.

So excited.

This cow, he can blow for a lifetime.

Not only was the manager excited, but the officials beside him also wanted to behave, and then said: "All kinds of commodities and materials are bundled and packaged, and there are rules for large and small packages, and they are not packed randomly. ”

A group of people walked on the dock in regular clothes, and they didn't know it, but they thought they were the managers of the docks.

The tallest buildings on the pier, in addition to the lighthouse, the clock tower, and the water tower, are all kinds of cranes.

"Click."

The sound from a distance made Zhu Yuanzhang can't help but look over.

"The small one is a small boom that uses traditional manpower, and the big one is a large crane that uses a steam engine as a power to carry the goods from the ship to the wagons at the docks."

There are many wagons on the tracks, loaded with all kinds of goods.

There are also cargo ships loaded with tied iron, a wagon that requires four horses, and is transported from the Tianjin wharf.

The pasture model of the grasslands, coupled with the horse administration in the hinterland, and the horses eliminated by the northern railway system.

The most important thing is the large area model, with more horse feed and bean feed available. Let the country have abundant livestock power, become a demand force to supplement industrial development.

Wuchang Mansion will be built into an iron-smelting center and the largest steel production base in Daming, but it will take time to catch up with the Miyun sub-district.

Fujian's iron-smelting industry has been acquired and taken over by China Heavy Industries, and its output is also rising, providing a large amount of iron for railway construction in the southern region.

Therefore, at present, the iron supply of Yingtianfu and Zhejiang provinces mainly comes from the northern parallel provinces.

"The internal railway laid at the wharf can be transported directly to the various warehouses."

"Then the warehouses can be directly transported to the Shanghai Railway Station, and then transported to the railway wagons by cranes, and transported to all parts of the country by rail. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

What is called industry, Zhu Yuanzhang has already understood.

It's just that the south has a large population, and the rich are getting richer, and the poor also have pants that they can't wear, so I can't help but ask.

"Your wharf, let's see that the machine is the mainstay, why don't you use people's husbands, there are many rich people in the south, and there are also many poor people, with only a small amount of wages, you can recruit a large number of people's husbands, your costs have also been reduced, and the people have also been able to get a livelihood."

The steward hurriedly said.

"It is the requirements and planning of the headquarters of China Heavy Industry, and I heard that it is the instruction of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson."

Hearing that it was his grandson, although Zhu Yuanzhang had questions, he didn't continue to ask, he didn't want to be embarrassed in public.

Zhu Di couldn't help but want to laugh.

When he was in Beiping, he couldn't understand many of the actions his son made, and he often thought that his son was young and missed one or two.

I wanted to give advice, but I was told a big truth.

Man.

It's very comfortable to talk to others about big things, but when you are told big things to you by others, it's not very pleasant.

What's more, the other party is still his own son.

As for his own Lao Tzu, this one likes to tell others the most.

Later, he met his grandson, and every time he was told by his grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang got used to running the construction site in person.

The taste of being told by his grandson is even more uncomfortable, and the old man who does not admit defeat chooses to practice it himself.

Why come to Shanghai County.

Because of the tax in Shanghai County, which reached an alarming figure last year, the father and son wanted to come and see it.

Why can this small county have such a large financial resource?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the huge Shanghai County wharf, feeling the power of it, and his heart was full of complexity and discouragement.

"Ugh."

"Why is my father sighing?"

Zhu Di stepped forward and asked in a low voice of concern.

"We have always been conceited of our own eyes, but I didn't expect that now it seems that many of them are wrong." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

In many ways, Zhu Yuanzhang does have limitations.

But hundreds of years of development cannot be adjusted according to the development process, and it is not Zhu Yuanzhang's responsibility alone.

Many of the policies of the Ming Dynasty are indeed wrong.

For example, the Cabinet.

The cabinet is an advanced political product, although it is not the cabinet of the modern West, but it does belong to the progressive system.

It's just that there is a problem with the selection of the cabinet.

It is supposed to be selected from officials who have experience in local government, not from the imperial court.

Selecting from the imperial court can indeed better handle the relations between the whole country, but without the experience of local administration, it is a big shortcoming.

Like Zhang Juzheng, people who can take the initiative to leave the imperial court, give up the shortcut to rapid promotion, and travel to places to learn governance experience are scarce, and not everyone can be like Zhang Juzheng's luck, after leaving the imperial court, there is still a chance to return to the imperial court.

So Daming is fortunate to have Zhang Juzheng, and Daming only has one Zhang Juzheng.

Zhu Di didn't know how to be relieved.

Either in line or in reverse?

In the end, the two fathers and sons left the Shanghai County Wharf by special car, got off the station from Chunhua New Town, and browsed the new city.

The headquarters building of the Grain Stamp Bank, the Ministry of Industrial Planning, the Ministry of Economic Regulation and Control, the Ministry of Capital Construction, the Ministry of Technological Development, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Military Household Economic Cooperative......

In one building, there are more than a dozen large signboards hanging outside the walls.

Building buildings and sharing buildings has become a trend, not only for many departments, but also for many private commercial banks.

"Why was the sign of the military household economic cooperative taken off?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask.

Yang Pu, a new cabinet member who had just been transferred to the capital from Beiping, hurriedly explained: "The military household economic cooperative is a transitional product, and now that the conditions are ripe, its functions will be absorbed by the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces and the yamen of the guards at all levels. ”

Zhu Di has a sense of the passage of time.

The military household economic cooperative, which was the earliest organization founded by his son, did not expect that it would be banned in its ninth year.

The functions of the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces have been expanded, and more people are biased towards the management of military households, and they no longer interfere in the army.

The original functions of health centers at all levels have also changed, from managers to organizers and service providers, although this step has not yet been reached, but it is moving in this direction.

The staff members of the military household economic cooperatives have been transferred to the yamen of the health centers at all levels, which is to replenish the fresh blood and bring a new management model.

Lean soldiers and streamlined administration.

Zhu Di remembered his son's remarks.

The so-called streamlining of the administration has not reduced the number of financial personnel, but it is indeed eliminating some yamen and institutions with duplicate functions.

But what's the matter.

The number of officials and servants who eat the food of the treasury has greatly increased, the management of the state at the lower levels has increased, and the expenditure has increased several times.

But so.

The financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty has also risen amazingly, the expansion of commercial taxes, the stability of grain stamps, the use of various grain stamp banks, and the collection of grain stamps, have achieved amazing results.

There is more food control in the hands of Daming, money and food, Daming is not short now, how to spend it is a headache.

Leaving from Chunhua New Town, it was already close to evening.

The special car directly entered the capital through the railway, and finally changed to a four-wheeled carriage, entered the Wenhua Palace, Chunhua New City to the Wenhua Palace, and the time for the two fathers and sons on the road took only half an hour.

"In order to ensure the development of industrialization."

Hearing his father's inquiry, Zhu Gaochi responded.

It is very difficult for a populous country to enter an industrial country from an agricultural country, and France, which has the most advanced Western civilization in history, is the most backward on the road to industrialization.

Eighties of the XIX century.

The iron output of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the United States was 6.6 million tons, 860,000 tons, 1.56 million tons, and 1.66 million tons, respectively.

In the fourteenth century, France's population was one-third of that of the West, and its culture and economy were the first in the West.

In the nineteenth century, it became the bottom of the list.

Why?

The large population also brings a lot of cheap labor, which cannot provide more profits for machines to replace manpower.

Technological change, the premise is the demand of the market.

Manpower is cheaper than machines, and the market certainly chooses manpower.

There was a period of time in the Jianghuai region, with the development of the economy, the price of labor is getting higher and higher, and there is an opportunity to promote machines to replace manpower.

Advanced technologies in the late Ming Dynasty, such as Sugang, proved that there was a great demand for steel production in the Jianghuai region.

Steelmaking requires a large amount of coal and pig iron, indicating that there is a huge industrial chain behind it, which shows that there are already signs of the industrial revolution.

However, with the bankruptcy of agriculture in the north, the impact of foreign population created a large number of cheap labor, hindering the development of the industrial revolution.

Zhu Gaochi explained.

What does that mean.

He wanted to ensure the income and living standards of the workers, as well as promote industrialization, not to let cheap labor hit these industries, and to promote machines.

Intervening by administrative means is his response to ensure the great development of the Chinese model.

"Isn't it a little unfair?" Zhu Di was not satisfied.

"The first rich lead the latter to become rich."

Zhu Gaochi is also helpless, the development of affairs always needs a process, and the process is destined to have a sequence.

That's the reality.

The development of Western countries, the long period of industrial development, is not a Chinese model, but a model that is a hundred times more cruel.

"Only by realizing the end of the first stage of industrialization as soon as possible, through the hand of the social resource distribution model, so that everyone can eat dividends."

Zhu Di quickly found Zhu Yuanzhang and explained to his father.

"I'm afraid that some people have forgotten this promise." Zhu Yuanzhang muttered.

"Father."

Zhu Di said softly: "I believe that we will definitely do it." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that he would not live that day.

He is from the people, although he has his own desires, but he does still remember the people, in his eyes, it is difficult for officials to have good things, and it is the officials who hurt the people the most.

So he has been keeping an eye on officials all his life.

Zhu Di nodded vigorously.

He is still alive, his son is still alive, and the relay of three generations will definitely fulfill this promise.
