First Minister Section 578
That's right, the new method can increase by seven times, don't forget that there are no working hours!Even if Zhu Di is merciful, so are the people above.
On the whole, the efficiency of Beiping is far behind that of the Central Plains, and that is the charm of Xiaoli's development of industry and commerce... indeed, it can produce several times, dozens of times of goods!
It’s true that Hu Yan was just bragging about it, but at the beginning I said honestly: “Peking’s current achievements are mainly due to the imperial court’s pacification of Beiyuan, which can almost be obtained by spending money to acquire enough land and introducing too little cheap labor. , You have to work less than four hours a day. So your conclusion is that the wealth production efficiency of Beiping is far ahead of the sky. As for the distribution is fair, there is nothing in the sky! I hope your Majesty will learn from you!"
Chapter 8: Old Zhu Calls for Help
Hu Yan's analysis roughly explained the situation in Beiping. The production efficiency was extremely high, but at the same time, the resulting differences were also huge.Even without considering those Koreans, they are far beyond the Central Plains.
"Hu Xiucai, even the peasants, work tirelessly all day long. Why is Beiping more effective than other places?" Queen Ma asked in a soft voice.
Hu Yan immediately said: "Returning to the empress, it is true that the farmers are busy all day long and rarely rest. But the things they do are too complicated. In addition to sowing and harvesting, they also need to repair the house, tidy the yard, grow vegetables, cut firewood and weave baskets , go to the market to sell products. Many of them are doing things for themselves, not to make more money. But it is different in the factory. From morning to night, one person only does one thing. The so-called practice makes perfect, time After a long time, it will naturally work faster and better."
Zhu Biao also asked: "According to you, doing only one thing can indeed be faster and better, but people can't just do one thing while alive, so how can they survive?"
"Wages!" Hu Yan replied: "This is the most important experience in Peiping... In the past, we regarded a family as a group, with men farming and women weaving, working together to survive. Now we regard everyone as It is regarded as an individual who works for a living. This person works to earn money, and then uses the money to buy other things he needs. That is to say, in Beiping, money is more important than anything else. It is money that measures everything, and it is money that helps people. Buying and selling, survival continues!"
Old Zhu silently said, "He said whether he has money or not, so he must be able to do it?"
Hu Yan nodded, "Although the students are willing to be divided, it is true!"
At that time, Zhang Chengtian suddenly said, "Your Majesty, in the past, whether it was women farming and men weaving, or hunting and gathering, parents raised their children and distributed what they got to their children. That was a transaction." , and it needs monetary support. Naturally, it can be included in the statistics, and it can be taxed. Like Beiping, everything is turned into a transaction, and there is no trace of every money transaction. Every commodity and labor can be in Finding it in the market will indeed bring about unexpected changes.”
Zhang Chengtian didn't say that it must be good to do so, because outside the bones of Chinese people, there is no pastoral romance, even in his previous life, no one pursued poetry and distant places.
Grow and eat by yourself, entertain yourself, the whole family gathers together, picks chrysanthemums on the east fence, and sees Nanshan leisurely.Can you say that such a fairy day is good?
It's just that for a country, specialization and monetization, and the sudden increase in finances and power it brings are unacceptable effects.
Hu Yan pondered for a while before Zhang Chengtian finished speaking, and added, "Returning to your majesty, what the grand master said is also the crux of Beiping. How much money did the Lord Yan borrow? It is really because I am short of money. , and such a small loan, with or without such a small amount of cash, can maintain the abnormal operation of Peiping!"
Zhu Di was so moved by what he said, good brother-in-law!It's your bosom friend, you all know that you borrowed such a small amount of money, and you still thought about it, and you are in debt for the country!
What a low man he is!
I just admire the one who doesn't read much, that brother-in-law of yours, I recognize it!
Lao Zhu, Ma Huangqian, and Zhu Biao, the eight of them also understood a little bit, and then asked a few details.
Hu Yan answered one by one... Hu Yan's exploration and research have actually revealed some laws in the early stage of industrialization.
For example, setting up a factory for small-scale production of goods can greatly improve efficiency.
For workers, a return to a rational and scientific division of labor can also double the speed of production.
The first change brought about by the model of producing commodities is the slow and dramatic increase in commodity wealth.
Taking the Central Plains as an example, the common people are farmers who grow and eat by themselves, spin their own cloth, raise some poultry by themselves... everything is settled by themselves, except for buying some salt and paying some land taxes, they will contribute all other taxes.Did he say that was okay?Yes, at least stable and practical.It is also the pursuit of the common people for thousands of years.Xia Zhifeng started a family, and Zhang Chengtian formulated the land equalization order to satisfy the desire of the people.
But the next step is to develop and increase national power. The salt tax and land tax are really pitiful, far enough to support a country going forward.
Before turning to the industrial and commercial model, taxes will be generated everywhere for basic necessities of life, food, housing and transportation, and commodities will multiply, and the imperial court will be able to take away fewer things.
Those benefits are obvious and self-evident.
But Gong Ruoxiong is also a fool, with such a small amount of benefits, is there no harm?
The disadvantages are also here.
Farmers work very hard, but the hard work of farmers is only when the farming is busy, and we work for ourselves, and this kind of spirit is exactly the same.
When it comes to workers, they need to work hard all year round, without even having a rest.And the wages you can get may not be too little less than farming, and it will be more if it is good.
And there is no boss, the foreman is staring at it, and it is completely at the mercy of the sub-division.Poor living, poor food and livestock...that's still all abnormal situation, if it's easy to put your mind to it, it's needless to say.
In fact, Gong Ruoxiong has been very substandard from the beginning to the end. Developing industry and commerce will inevitably be risk-free. Is there such a cheap thing in the sky? You have to pay a price and you can still reap benefits.
But until today, Gong Ruoxiong finally wanted to confuse that matter... No matter what, he must develop business, he must go all out, and go that way!
It's for something else, any emperor without aspirations, the lord of a country without ambitions, will increase his strength!
Just like at the beginning, Zhang Chengtian advocated granting land to men, because it can double the combat power, Xia Zhifeng also did it.Now that the product can be increased tenfold, Xia Zhifeng also decided to spare no effort and push back.
As for the problems that may arise, we just need to rectify them with little effort, enact laws and regulations, and strictly investigate the laws. In a word, nothing is weaker than nothing!
Xia Zhifeng Xiao Wu felt the joy of piercing through the clouds and seeing the secrets of heaven.
The more I look at Hu Yan, the more I look at him, the worse he looks, that young man, smart and down-to-earth, well educated, and a good person... How did we ever think of making me a son-in-law?
What an oversight!
"He's fine." Lao Zhu took the initiative: "Stay here, let's have a meal together."
Facing Lao Zhu's invitation, Hu Yan dared not give up.
Xia Zhifeng immediately asked people to prepare the banquet. The banquet was very interesting. It was a small royal banquet, one case at a time, but a round table for family dinners.
What's even more boring is that Lao Zhu only prepared two small tables.
Under the old Zhu's table, there are our couple, Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Gong Ruoxiong, Zhang Shuning, Zhu Yuanzhang, Gong Ruoxiong, and Hu Yan.
As for the other princes and princesses, they were all arranged under another table.
From that arrangement alone, too few mysteries can be seen.
He thought he was a golden branch and a jade leaf, but yes, there are only so few who can stand up to the stage.
If no one thinks it makes sense, how can the two sons of the Zhang family, including Zhang Chengtian's male apprentice Gong Ruoxiong, sit under the main table, are we more noble than princesses and princes?
Those who don't have that kind of thinking can only say that it is still too simple.
A person's status depends not only on one's background, but also on one's own struggle... Although Zhang Shuning is old, the educational methods I have developed are already famous all over the world, and the teaching supplementary materials I have written have sold hundreds of dollars. million copies.
Zhang Ximeng organized the survey of the seven seas and is writing the theory of the circle of the earth and the movement of celestial bodies.
With your current achievements, these old people in Qin Tianjian must be respectful.
Zhu Yuanzhang was close, but at any rate he also got a commander of the guard department.
It can be clearly seen that there are few people on Grand Master Zhang's side, but the quality is extremely low.
Even Hu Yan can be regarded as Zhang Chengtian's disciple.
As for Lao Zhu, apart from Zhu Biao and Zhu Di, there are very few who can do it.
Faced with such a situation, Lao Zhu was also quite embarrassed, so during the banquet, I kept asking Hu Yan, both about family and studies.
No matter what, that son-in-law must be taken!
Gong Ruoxiong also got angry, don't look at the quality of our children, but we can find a few less good sons-in-law, and then a dozen sons-in-law will line up to play against him, Grand Master Zhang, and we will also suffer!
Old Zhu was thinking about those things, but Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes rolled wildly. I heard sporadically that Zhu Di owed a lot of money, and that time was actually to relieve Zhu Di.
Zhu Yuanzhang still understands very well, even after listening to Hu Yan's explanation, I still fully understand, after all, the fat man is still big and has such a good brain.
But that also prevented Zhu Yuanzhang from giving Zhu Di eye drops.
"Your Majesty, the Palace of the King of Yan has created such a small foundation, and Beiping is so well governed. Compared to the successors, Beiping will also flourish. There is a bright future, right?"
As soon as I said that, Xia Zhifeng came up calmly, and I pondered: "Peking is indeed wrong... But just now Hu Yan also said that there is no debt in Peking, is that so?"
Zhu Di's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "That's true. It's because the boy thought that the problem was small. After all, the boy can handle it, and others will be even worse."
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "The king of Yan's words are too modest. He is even more powerful than the king of Yan. If you count it, you will be the person under that table. First of all, the emperor's empress is in charge of those things. Second, when the crown prince is in charge of the state, he can always use the treasury to fill holes, and then there is your father, and your father seems to be good at business, isn't that right?"
Xia Zhifeng smiled slightly, "His big thing, he made it clear that we should carry it! To be honest, we have made up our minds a long time ago. Is it a debt of 1000 million yuan! We already knew that!"
Xia Zhifeng smiled at Zhu Di, "Old Qi, don't be afraid, there is no father!"
Zhu Di was so upset when he heard that, tears were about to flow out.
"Father, I'm not telling you the truth. My son's 1000 million guan is actually only a debt of the Yan Palace, and there are still many other debts!"
"What?" Old Zhu was stunned, "Is there any debt yet? It is enough for him to borrow money from Prince Yan's Mansion, and there is no one to borrow money from above?"
Zhu Di said helplessly: "There are no textile factories, grain companies, lumber factories, shipping companies... there are no shares outside the Yanwangfu, and there are guarantees provided by the left-behind department. Company firms, including Beiping Bank, have borrowed a lot of money. That time when Haier left Beiping, it is best to go back and make a proper delivery without any twists and turns. If the sky collapses and the earth collapses, Haier must be blamed."
Xia Zhifeng's scalp tingled when he heard it. I originally thought that a Zhu Di would be able to deal with it no matter how much he owed, but if there are debts everywhere, then things will be troublesome.
"Old Qi, how much does he owe? There are countless things in his heart?"
The corner of Zhu Di's mouth twitched slightly, "Father, a conservative estimate is 8000 million!"
"Is this conservative?"
"Maybe not 7000 million guan, to 8000 million guan!"
"What did he say?" Gong Ruoxiong suddenly stood up, 8000 million!That difference is at least [-]% of Xiao Ming's annual income.
"Zhu Di, he, he is so timid!"
Zhu Di also has a way, "Father, you also want to, but if you borrow money, we will also borrow money. If you borrow money, it will become such a small stall..."
"Okay, let's talk!"
Xia Zhifeng waved her hand as expected, "Let's eat first!"
No such thing, who can eat the first half of the meal? Before the hasty start, Xia Zhifeng sent everyone else away, leaving only Zhang Chengtian.
At the first sentence, Lao Zhu said directly: "Sir, whatever you want, help us pass the test!"
Chapter 8 printing money is
Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that Beiping was a pit, so relying on Zhu Di's virtue, it would be considered disobedient and unfilial not to surprise him.Therefore, Lao Zhu has been guarding against this move.But having said that, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was not easy for his son to make such a big fortune.In the final analysis, it was he who took Zhu Di's property.
Zhu Di owed 1000 million guan, and if there was another 500 million guan secretly, he would take it, and it was no big deal.
But when Lao Zhu knew that it was possible to reach 6000 to [-] million guan, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
He's all bad.
How come there are so many?
Almost [-]% of the annual income!
And don't forget, the money has interest, which is several million per year.Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, the imperial court's annual revenue is mainly land tax. If the land is re-equalized, the land tax will drop a bit.
If it doesn't work out, he won't eat or drink for a year, and he won't be able to pay the debt...Zhu Yuanzhang's mind is buzzing, and he doesn't even have the heart to get angry with Zhu Di.
In the final analysis, the difficult things in this world have to be carried by him. As for the solution to the problem, it is naturally up to Mr. Zhang.
Just like the past so many years, Lao Zhu could only turn to Zhang Ximeng for help.
In contrast, Zhang Ximeng was calmer than ever before, "My lord, it's really not a big deal, it's all on my lord's mind."
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes, "You mean, let us renege on the debt? Okay, then we won't pay it back!"
Zhang Ximeng waved his hand hastily, "I don't mean that, my lord, don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand. You mean to confuse what is going on with so little debt in Beiping. It has nothing to do with King Yan. How should the court treat the disease... "
The pair of monarchs and ministers got together to think about their ideas, and the rest, including the prince Zhu Biaodu, looked at each other in blank dismay, looking depressed.
Zhu Biao frowned, "Why, how come there are so few!"
Zhu Di sighed helplessly, feeling very embarrassed.
"Brother, it was really intentional by the elder brother, but there is no way. He sees that buying machines requires money, and buying wool requires money. With so few workers, eating, drinking, and messing up also require money. Especially for these farm companies, we want to open up wasteland and reclaim land. Well, it costs money to buy food and agricultural tools. There is no borrowing from your Yanwang Mansion, and there is no borrowing from us. Your piece is easy to handle, but you are worried that the revocation of the Beiping Left-behind Department will cause a lot of troubles. All the debts have been recovered, and at this point, it is easy to handle."
Lu Yi rubbed his temples, "What can we do? Filling Xiao Ming back is enough for that hole. It's hard for Beiping to find a new way, but he will give up halfway... If Ran Seventh Brother, he will continue to stay in the Let's go to Peking!"
As soon as I finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Your Majesty, what do you mean, is it possible that Beiping is not King Yan?"
Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "You also have something to do."
Lu Yicheng blinked his eyes twice, it was really me who wanted to target Zhu Di, but in those years, no one said that Zhu Di, the Seventh Prince, is a powerful figure with very little power, and sooner or later he will replace the prince, and merge the big and small sects.
Zhu Yuanzhang finally found the root of everything.
The problem is indeed my fault, but Zhu Di has been too low-key in the past few years, so that there is no such kind of discussion in restaurants and restaurants. I am not at all vigilant, and it is only natural.
"Therefore, because of this, it is necessary to invite the Palace of King Yan to leave Beiping!"
Zhang Shuning gave his brother a hard look, and although Lu Yicheng was scared, he tried to stare back, "You, you are telling the truth!"
At this moment Zhu Di was frowning, I thought for a while and said: "Little brother, do you really have these messy thoughts? You just want Xiao Ming to be better, and you want our family, that country, to become Better, brother..."
Zhu Biao quickly stopped him, "You know it all! If you were vague about his character, you would have let him go to Peiping at the beginning. Let's discuss what to do."
At that time, Hu Yan suddenly said, "Your Majesty, in fact, Caomin has also thought about it. Perhaps the debt problem in Beiping is so terrible!"
The little guy instantly set his eyes on me.
"Tell me, does he have any ideas?"
Hu Yan said: "Your Majesty, this is the same sentence. Beiping's current efficiency is extremely low, and its ability to create wealth is far superior to other places. Beiping is poor, and what is lacking is time. The smallest trouble now is that if King Yan leaves Beiping, he will be killed. It will make people's hearts fluctuate, and no one will be slow to withdraw the loan. This will cause everyone to ask for money, and the flow of money will be broken, and Peiping will not be able to maintain. So the real question is whether it is possible to choose a suitable person to succeed King Yan , calm down?"
