Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Fire gun factory. ♡

Zhu Biao led a group of people walking in the spacious brick-tiled and wooden-roofed factory building.

The factory building is ten meters wide and the factory is almost one hundred meters wide. In the middle is a passage for people and materials. On both sides of the passage, there are two rows of vertical pedal machines.

There are two thousand machine tools, and there are four thousand at the same time. The craftsmen under the supervision of the craftsmen are working on the blunderbuss tubes.

Small stoves are preheating, even in the twelfth lunar month when the Spring Festival is approaching.

In the entire factory building, the large windows all around let in the wind, and the heat wave was still billowing.

Each of the craftsmen, wearing linings with sleeves removed, bare, strong, dark, and broad arms, worked hard to process the blunderbuss tube.

Zhu Biao pointed to the craftsman who wrapped the cloth on the top of his head and made a big hair bun. "If you wrap your hair in this way, there won't be any accidents later, right?"

In the past two years, due to the carelessness of the craftsmen, hair was ignited by the preheating furnace next to it, or two people worked together on a machine tool, and the person who was responsible for pedaling the blazing gun was involved in the machine tool, causing the hair of the person in charge of processing the blazing gun. There are many accidents.

Although no one was killed.

But in the first year, Laosi sent back the craftsman responsible for technical guidance after he left.

Such accidents happen almost every day, so much so that the craftsmen are a little scared.

Moreover, frequent personal injuries also greatly affect the progress of firecracker manufacturing.

There are millions of elites in the imperial court, and my father must strive to complete the comprehensive reorganization within three to four years.

Even if the artillery can be configured slower.

The annual demand for firecrackers is as high as 200,000 to 300,000.

Since the establishment of the Fire Gun Factory.

Production has been unable to meet demand.

So far, out of the 200,000 elites in the Beijing camp, only 150,000 have been reorganized!

On the other hand, Lao Si helped Lao Er, Lao San and the others train the feudal king's guard.

So far, it is said that the training of Lao Wu's feudal king Wei has been completed.

A total of 100,000 new troops were organized and trained!

After the second and third children were trained, Lan Yu and Mu Ying went to inspect them on behalf of the court and came back and said that the fourth child might be trying to save face for the court.

Therefore, the speed of training the domain guards was deliberately controlled.

He also took back several firecrackers made by Yan Fan.

Whether it is the exquisiteness of workmanship or the quality, it is much better than that of Jinling Fire Gun Factory.

Lan Yu once pointed out that since the production capacity of Jinling Fire Gun Factory cannot meet the needs of training the new army.

Can I buy it from Laosi Yanfan?

The price is low and the quality is high.

He was also moved at that time.

Like the military generals led by Lan Yu, he wanted to complete the reorganization of millions of elites as soon as possible.

Anyway, Daming is not short of money now.

These past few years are probably the best years since the founding of the imperial court.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, the level of rural village construction reached 40%, and the people gradually became richer.

In addition, maritime trade will be fully liberalized.

Although maritime merchants in Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang did not have large ships that could sail long distances, they were driven by profit and drove small boats to and from Korea and Japan.

Especially Japan.

It is said that the entire Japanese country is now going crazy.

The five Japanese people supported by Lao Si established rural village communities and employed workers in the Japanese country, and they encountered sharp counterattacks from the elite of the Japanese country.

regarded as heresy.

After entering the five areas controlled by the Japanese, ordinary Japanese people who engaged in rural village communities were also regarded as heretics and were all killed.

The other party seems to adhere to the philosophy that if the problem cannot be solved, then the person who created the problem will be solved.

He vowed to completely produce the concepts of rural village communes and employee-shareholding system through physical elimination.

The five Japanese headed by Ohno Goro also competed with each other.

Fight them out and kill all the elites!

It is said that it has been carried to such extremes that it has completely lost the golden mean.

The situation in the Japanese country undoubtedly verified that his decision to promote rural village communes and deny the employment-based stock system was correct.

The war in Japan caused Japan to need a variety of supplies.

As a result, a large amount of Japanese silver and gold poured into the imperial court.

At the same time, there were also gold and silver coins flowing in from the fourth Yan clan, which filled the imperial treasury.

Just over a year.

The imperial court has gone from almost breaking even or having a slight surplus every year to having a savings of five million taels of silver this year!

Therefore, the imperial court is fully capable of supporting the outsourcing of guns and artillery and the training of new armies.

But this proposal was just put forward by Lan Yu and others in the court.

It was categorically rejected by Xiongying, who had already begun to participate in politics.

At that time, Xiongying said this in front of his father, himself, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: Although the cost of the imperial court was high and the exquisiteness and quality of the firecrackers were a bit poor, it did not affect the normal service life. If you buy firecrackers from your fourth uncle, With artillery, we will not be able to achieve the purpose of training craftsmen.

Father was extremely happy with Xiongying's suggestion.

Afterwards, he asked his father and learned that the fourth child had predicted that the development of Ming Dynasty's industry would be slow.

But the fourth child suggested to his father.

As long as the factory's revenue and expenditure are balanced and corruption is controlled, workers can be trained in this way.

He asked his father, for what reason did the fourth child conclude that the industrial development of the imperial court would be slow?

My father only said one thing: Outdated customs! Bureaucratic atmosphere, superiority and inferiority atmosphere...

He came to inspect the industrial zone this time just to find out what restricted the development of the imperial industry.

But it seems that Lu Zhao and others are also doing a good job. They are not blindly conservative and are actively looking for ways to adapt.

Just like this hair.

They used to be scattered behind their backs, but now they can be flexible, right?

…

Lu Zhao didn't know how many things Zhu Biao was thinking about in just a short moment. He took credit and said, "Prince, since the last time Yun Wen came to observe and proposed this method, there have been no injuries."

Zhu Biao heard this and looked at Zhu Yunwen who was following him in surprise.

Everyone looked at Zhu Yunwen together.

Lan Yu frowned slightly.

Zhu Yunwen bowed politely and said: "Father, I just made some random comments, but I didn't expect that it really made a difference..."

In fact, this was not what he came up with.

Not long ago, he came here to observe.

He found an old craftsman wrapping his head in a towel. He asked and found out the purpose.

Then I assigned my uncle to try to promote it and see if it works.

The purpose at that time was simple.

Just want to make Jinling Industrial Zone stronger.

We must catch up, surpass, and crush Yan Fan.

Unexpectedly, his uncle gave him the credit for other people's work.

However, he does have credit for it.

Not long ago, the eldest brother was praised by the emperor's grandfather for his insistence on self-made and training workers.

He also wanted his father to appreciate him.

…

"Yunwen, you did a good job on this matter." Zhu Biao praised with a smile and turned around to continue the visit.

Xiongying took Yang Rong with him and asked the craftsmen from time to time, gradually falling behind.

At some point.

Yang Rong saw Zhu Yunwen following Zhu Biao, talking and laughing from time to time. He frowned slightly and pulled Xiongying who was talking to the craftsman.

Xiongying ended his conversation with the craftsman, stood up, and asked as he walked: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Taishun really believes that His Highness Yunwen came up with the idea of ​​issuing contracts? He didn't even go deep into the front line to work personally. How could he think of it? Moreover, tinkering methods like issuing contracts can really have a great impact on our Ming Dynasty's industry. environment, produce breakthrough promotion effect?”

Zhu Yunwen was particularly good at pleasing the prince.

The prince is a moderate, gentle and elegant person.

He noticed that for more than a year, Zhu Yunwen seemed to be deliberately imitating the prince.

He couldn't tell whether this was Zhu Yunwen's own idea or whether someone was teaching Zhu Yunwen behind his back.

…

Xiongying looked at Yang Rong's worried but calm expression and couldn't help but smile. He patted Yang Rong on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I know what you are worried about."

Xiongying did not continue to talk about Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Biao, but just told Yang Rong openly that he knew everything.

Then he said: "Actually, I don't like this kind of patchwork method. Originally, I thought that the huge inconvenience would eventually prompt people to let go of their parents' old ideas about their body and skin, and take the initiative to cut their hair. , but I didn’t expect…”

Your skin and hair is from your parents!

There are many, many more traditional and old ideas like this that constrain the development of Ming Dynasty.

If these shackles are not broken, the industrial development of Ming Dynasty will never be able to speed up and be active.

"Actually, the problem lies there. The management headed by Lu Zhao, except for the emperor's grandfather and father, will come to the front line during inspections. On weekdays, they sit in the official room and drink tea almost every day. The people below have made great contributions. They are rushing to How can the craftsmen be motivated in this situation?"

This is typical bureaucracy.

Although my father hasn't noticed it yet.

But the emperor's grandfather already knew.

But what can be done?

Thousands of years of bureaucracy, if we do not comprehensively implement rural village communes and employee shareholding systems, and comprehensively improve the economic, social, and political status of people from all walks of life.

Bureaucracy can never be curbed.

Fourth Uncle said that all forces in the world must be balanced and evenly matched.

Only when the power of the people increases can the bureaucracy be effectively curbed.

Otherwise, the Jinling Industrial Zone can only be run successfully unless a truly good functional official is replaced.

It can be said in the words of my fourth uncle.

The vast majority of people in the world are mediocre, and similarly, the vast majority of officials are mediocre.

There are too few truly good functional officers!

You can't put the Left Prime Minister and Mr. Bowen in the Jinling Industrial Zone to engage in industry, right?

…

Seeing Zhu Biao walking out of the gun factory, Xiongying gathered his thoughts and said, "Let's go."

An hour later.

Zhu Biao walked out of Jinling Industrial Zone.

Looking at Lu Zhao who was diligently escorting them out, he warned: "I can see that you are also attentive, but don't always sit in the official room. We have all gone to Jilongyu Industrial Zone to see it. Haven't you noticed that Jilongyu Industrial Zone Are the people in charge of the Long Island Industrial Zone on the front line every day?"

"Hui Zu and Lao Si were setting up a rural village community at that time, and they went into the countryside every day to conduct research..."

The smile on Lu Zhao's face froze and he hurriedly lowered his head.

Is it possible that his brother, who is the crown prince's concubine, still has to live in such a harsh environment, with high temperature, noise, and flying dust every day?

Is it useful?

Stop talking about him.

The prince asked the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty who was willing to do this!

You guys are here to be officials, not to be lowly craftsmen.

Now it seems that from now on I will have to go to the factory every day and put on a show.

"I will remember the prince's teachings. From now on, I will definitely be on the front line every day!"

…

Yang Rong looked at Lu Zhao, shook his head, leaned into Xiongying's ear, and whispered: "Look, these officials in the industrial zone used to sit in the government offices and drink tea. Next, they will go to the front line to engage in formalism. They must be in a bad mood, and their bad emotions will definitely be vented on the craftsmen, which will have a greater impact on production and the enthusiasm of the craftsmen! His Royal Highness seems to have seen the problem, but the method to solve the problem is completely wrong..."

Lan Yu secretly listened to Yang Rong's analysis.

Full of admiration.

Yang Rong’s prediction is surprising.

After hearing the prince's advice to Lu Zhao, he also felt that it should promote the Jinling Industrial Zone.

But Yang Rong believes that instead of promoting it, it will have a counterproductive effect!

Yang Rong’s analysis is irrefutable!

As expected of Zhu Laosi’s student!

And Zhu Laosi placed such an outstanding student next to Xiongying to help Xiongying.

The Lan Chang family cannot repay this kindness.

Lan Yu stretched out her hand and pressed it on the top of Yang Rong's hair. When Yang Rong and Xiong Ying looked at it, they laughed in a low voice and asked: "After spending New Year's Eve in the palace this year, are you going to the Tuqiao Village Camp to join your group of brothers?" New Year?”

Zhu Xiongying nodded with a smile, and Lan Yu asked, "Can my uncle go with you?"

…

One person and two children followed Zhu Biao's inspection team and walked forward.

We arrived not far from the industrial zone, outside a courtyard at the Qinhuai River dock.

Outside the yard, there was a long queue, including young people alone and those with their families.

On the pillar on the left side of the courtyard gate, there is a sign hanging, which reads: Yan Fan Resettlement Office.

Zhu Biao looked at the lively queue.

Many officials behind him looked embarrassed.

Zhu Biao asked: "This year, in the relocation office in Jinling, excluding the landless people mobilized by the court, how many people are willing to take the initiative?"

Fang Xiaoru looked at his colleagues on the left and right, and all of them looked embarrassed and remained silent. He took a step forward slightly and bowed: "Prince, I came here a few days ago to learn about it. According to the office staff, the spontaneous relocation lasted about one month." Almost 80% of the thousand people are local people in Jinling..."

Although Jinling is an imperial city.

The people in the imperial capital will be proud.

But there are also some people who don't care about these false things. They prefer the Yan Fan who fully implements the rural village community and the employee-share system.

It is believed that Yan Fan has more prospects than Ming Dynasty.

I also believe in King Yan.

Therefore, he sold off the few family properties in the city and took the merchant ships between Yanfan and Jinling to sea with the elderly and children.

"Prince, I have also learned that there are only three active relocation offices in various places, one is Fujian, one is Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the other is our Jinling. In other places, except for the mobilization of the imperial court, the situation is generally very deserted."

Fang Xiaoru glanced at Qi Tai and wanted to refute, but moved her lips and swallowed again.

What he was going to say didn't sound good.

There is no need to say it directly.

Find the prince in private and talk alone.

He believed that Ming Dynasty must seize the time to change.

Because he has conducted surveys and statistics, many of the people who have left overseas have read books!

Although I didn't pass the exam.

But not illiterate!

He is very worried that in the future, all those who have achieved fame will want to go to sea!

Ming Dynasty will not seize the time to change.

Maybe this will happen in a dozen years.

Even faster!

"Um!"

Zhu Biao nodded, looked at the lively scene in the resettlement office, and turned to leave.

At the beginning, when I signed the agreement with Lao Si.

Many people sarcastically said: It would be great if a thousand people are willing to go to sea every year.

Facts have proved that after more than a year, the person who said this was slapped in the face.

I'm afraid, it won't take a few years.

The annual quota of 50,000 is not enough.

"Martha!"

"Martha!"

…

"Hey, I'm here!"

A strong man lined up at the door retracted his gaze from Zhu Biao, yelled, and hurried in.

There is a table in the courtyard of the office.

new

Two clerks sat behind the desk.

The scholar sitting on the left urged impatiently: "What did you do before? Where are you from? Why did you move to sea? How many people are there in the family? Will your parents leave? Do you have a consent form from your parents? Tell me all these questions."

Ma Dashan took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to the scholar who asked the question, "I am from Shanxi, an orphan. I used to be a clerk of the Sun family, a wealthy businessman in Shanxi. There is no one in my family anymore. This is a letter of introduction written by my boss. .”

The scholar took it and glanced at it a few times, then raised his head and looked at Martha.

snort!

Suddenly he snorted coldly, "I don't think you are from Shanxi, you look like a Mongolian!"

"Yes, yes, I followed King Yan to the demonstration area, and then I was spotted by the boss of the Sun family, a wealthy businessman in Shanxi, and became a clerk..."

The scholar looked at Martha again.

Handing the document to the young man next to him, "There is no problem with the court."

The young man didn't mind the scholar's coldness and arrogance at all. After receiving the letter of introduction, he stood up and clasped his fists at Ma, "Brother Ma, Yan Fan welcomes you to join. Our office provides short-term accommodation and free meals. However, the accommodation It’s a Datong shop, and the food is ordinary food. Does Brother Ma live in our office, or can he find a place to live by himself..."

"I'll live here. I also want to know everything about King Yan's rule as soon as possible. I heard that there is someone in the office who can introduce it..." Ma Da smiled honestly.

Ha ha……

The young man smiled and nodded, "Yes."

In the words, after registering for Ma Da, he made an invitation gesture: "Brother Ma, go left and enter the courtyard on the left. Someone will be responsible for arranging a place for you."

Ma Dahanhan smiled and left.

Go farther.

He turned to look at the scholar and the young man.

He whispered softly, "This young man representing Yan Fan is very kind. I want to see what Yan Fan is like under the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty!"

Martha is his pseudonym.

His name is Choros Mahamu!

During the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition, Zhu Silang turned the tide, destroyed the royal court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and swept millions of grassland tribes southward. Before leaving, he established a Mongolian-Han demonstration area for the Ming Dynasty to the north of the Great Wall and south of the Yinshan Mountains.

The Guangmiao grassland north of Yinshan Mountain lost a core leadership.

It was a complete mess!

He led the members of the Choros family to form an alliance with Taiping and Batu Polo of Mongolia, and fought several fierce battles with Arutai, Guilichi and others from Eastern Mongolia, completely gaining the upper hand.

But it is impossible to annex Eastern Mongolia.

After sorting out the members of the Choros family, he passed the position of leader to his son Tuohuan and headed south.

Went to the demonstration area first.

There are not many Han residents in the demonstration area.

Only tens of thousands of landless Han people migrated from Shanxi and Shaanxi.

But the changes in the demonstration area have been very obvious.

He went this winter.

I have seen with my own eyes that snow has fallen in the demonstration area, and the snow has buried the pastures, making it difficult for cattle and sheep to graze.

The herdsmen slaughtered the fat and strong sheep that had been raised over the spring, summer and autumn, cut them into pieces, and marinated them in large vats with mutton oil that can be found everywhere on the grassland, added salt, and salt.

Then it was purchased by the original caravan.

Replace it with tea, salt, iron pots and other goods from the Central Plains that are in short supply in the northern grasslands.

The ten households are part-farmers and part-herders in a rural village community.

In winter, we eat corn corn without meat, or boil corn kernels directly.

In the autumn, I drank the corn wine I brewed from corn straw. The brewed straw was not wasted. I actually dug a big hole, compacted it, and buried it.

In winter, ewes giving birth eat this fermented corn straw.

He observed that although the ewes still lost weight in winter, they were not like in the past where they starved to death on a large scale and froze to death.

Lamb survival rate is extremely high!

In the coming year, the lambs that have not given birth will grow up, and in winter, they will be pickled and trafficked back to the Central Plains.

He was really shocked.

Former compatriots.

Nowadays, as common people in the Ming Dynasty, they stay in yurts throughout the winter and use an iron stove trafficked back from Yan Fan.

In the warm yurt, the men drank and played prairie music on the morinouqin and erhu, while the women sang and danced.

If there is any disharmony.

That is, when men and women step out of the warm yurt to feed cattle and sheep, there will always be some disputes.

Women on the grassland will say: Look at the Han immigrant family next door, the men are the backbone of the family!

At this time, the drunk Mongolian men always shouted: You are a Mongolian woman, you must preserve Mongolian traditions!

Finally, I staggered out of the warm yurt, peeed in the ice and snow, shuddered, cursed, and went to feed the cattle and sheep.

He saw that millions of Mongolians were giving up their Mongolian traditions.

Take the initiative to embrace the Central Plains! Embrace the customs of the Central Plains!

Seeing such scenes makes people feel chills all over.

And all of this was created by the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty himself!

Therefore, he wanted to go out and have a look under the rule of the Fourth Prince of Ming Dynasty!

Go and learn from Zeng Jin’s enemies!

It is said that maritime merchants will come to Jinling next month. They will drift on the sea for a month. They will first go to Dongfan for a short rest. After another month, they will reach Luzon, where the fourth prince of the Ming Dynasty is concentrating all his efforts to develop!

…

Dongfan.

industrial area.

In front of a huge blast furnace four feet high and more than two meters in diameter.

Zhu Di looked up.

Jiang Jinzhong introduced from the side, "Your Majesty, this year, we have trafficked a thousand ships of various agricultural tools to the imperial court. As the imperial court's rural villages begin to fully roll out, the demand for agricultural tools will be very high in the future, at least. This kind of demand will not end in two or three years..."

"In addition, Yongchang Hou Lanyu and Zhongxin Hou Zhangyu ordered 100,000 sets of cast iron stoves from us in the name of the demonstration area. Only 10,000 sets were delivered this year..."

…

Zhu Di listened carefully.

Boss Zhang was canonized as the Marquis of Zhongxin by his father.

A bit low.

However, for the Ming Dynasty, this title is more suitable.

After all, elder brothers Ru Lanyu and Muying are just marquises.

He estimated that after the demonstration area is completed.

With this huge contribution, Boss Zhang should be able to become a public servant.

"This year, I finally don't have to worry about money. So far, after taking into account the cost of relocating the people, the cost of developing Luzon, as well as the war cost and the new warships of the navy, we still have a savings of one million taels of silver. This is the best time since we came to Dongfan. , the only year where there is no famine at the end of the year and there is money in your pocket.”

Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh.

Turning around and patting Jiang Jinzhong on the shoulder, "Hold on for another three or four years. This year, Tan Yuan and Liu Sheng will have wiped out all the hostile forces in the two regions north of the Central Luzon region. Liu Sheng's second town will be in the war." Expansion, actual combat training, and an army have been formed. Next year, our two towns and four mixed associations will sweep through the forces in southern Luzon and eradicate their elites in one year. Next, it will be a period of stability and construction. Military expenditures will be reduced. Overall The expenses will be much less.”

"Come on, take me to the new iron factory!"

Jiang Jinzhong nodded with a smile and couldn't wait to walk in front.

Soon, we came to the upper reaches of the Jilong River, where the river channel is relatively steep, the water flow is turbulent, and the impact force is greater.

"Your Majesty, the new iron plant needs more water power, so it can only be relocated to this immigrant village. The people here have moved to other places. I have compensated each household and person with five taels of silver and helped build new houses. I absolutely owe nothing to the people.”

"Jin Zhong, I can rest assured that you will do things." Zhu Di nodded and quickened his pace.

Rumble…

As we get closer to the wall in front, the roar gradually becomes clearer.

Under the leadership of Jiang Jinzhong.

The moment Zhu Di entered the courtyard, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

I walked over quickly and felt a wave of heat.

Through the leakage of the molten iron, the fiery red molten iron flows out and flows into the thin and wide troughs.

As soon as it solidified, several craftsmen used large iron pliers to hold a huge piece of iron about one centimeter thick and brought it to a square furnace with a water-driven bellows in front.

After a short warm-up, the huge iron piece is clamped and placed into the front water-driven roller.

The rollers with increasingly narrow gaps are continuously squeezed, and after passing through all the rollers, a huge iron sheet is formed.

It's nice to think of using water power.

Zhu Di walked to a small blast furnace that was as tall as one person.

Jiang Jinzhong introduced: "Your Majesty, this is a small blast furnace for steelmaking. After passing the crucible experiment, we can only build such a large steelmaking furnace for the time being. No matter how big it is, it cannot be stirred. The craftsmen said that it is impossible to fully stir and blow into the blast furnace." The air cannot fully contact the molten pig iron, and the steel used directly for casting cannons and muskets cannot be produced..."

Zhu Di nodded.

Full exposure to oxygen is mainly to reduce the carbon content in pig iron.

too big.

Inhomogeneous stirring and insufficient oxygen contact.

It is simply impossible to do it under current technical conditions.

Unless a converter can be designed.

Now this small blast furnace is, to put it bluntly, just a larger crucible.

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time. The current technological improvements have greatly facilitated us." As Zhu Di spoke, he looked at the water-driven roller devices in front of the small blast furnace.

A square piece of iron, after being preheated and red-hot, is passed through a set of rollers and squeezed through holes one by one, and finally becomes a round iron rod.

In the last process, a hydraulic guillotine is set up.

When the long iron rod reaches the end and is blocked by the iron plate, the knife mechanism is triggered, and the knife falls, cutting the iron rod into the standard length of the rifle tube.

Regardless of the iron sheet making process just now.

It is still the process of making gun tubes and iron rods at this moment.

In fact, there is already a trace of the prototype of steel rolling.

"Your Majesty, we are encountering some trouble now..."

Zhu Di came back to his senses after hearing this, turned around, and asked with a smile: "What troublesome thing is it? We are developing so well, but there is still trouble?"

Jiang Jinzhong smiled bitterly, "In order to meet the needs of Daming this year, we are very busy here. We work in two shifts in the morning and afternoon. Other workshops are fine. But here at the blast furnace, we have encountered some troubles. The first is clothes. The craftsmen have always insisted on wearing them. Wearing long clothes, I became more and more constrained at work, and finally gradually accepted the split-style clothes in our military. However, hair was very troublesome. A young man in the iron smelting factory felt that it was too hot to have long hair, and the iron smelting factory was dusty. He was also very big, and his hair was too long to take care of, so the young man shaved his head. The young man’s old father got angry and broke the young man’s legs..."

"Actually, I secretly encouraged this young man to shave his head. I just wanted to use him to test whether the new trend we have set can be accepted."

"Jinzhong..." Zhu Di couldn't help but patted Jiang Jinzhong on the shoulder, "You are very familiar with every process in our industrial zone. This proves that you are not an official sitting in the government office every day. You are really on the front line. Do it in a down-to-earth manner, otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to understand it in such detail..."

Some details, if you have never done it before, it is impossible to understand them in detail like Jinzhong.

"In this matter, it proves that you are not bureaucratic, but in the new hair accessories, you committed the crime of bureaucracy. When you promote one thing, we don't take the lead and encourage others to test the direction of the trend. What are you not a bureaucracy?"

"I came back this time to completely resolve this matter. Whether we are filial to our parents or not depends on our hair. Yong Ming followed me back. He has already returned to the palace to inform the princess in advance. The princess is already making preparations. After I go back, The princess will cut my hair first, and then Yong Ming, and we, father and son, will take the lead!"

"With development, some of our traditional things must be broken, and they will definitely be broken. If we don't break them, we will not be able to adapt to development, and development will stagnate due to our own reasons."

"The Jinling Industrial Zone of the imperial court has the support of the entire Ming Dynasty and a vast market. Why can it only maintain a barely balanced balance of payments? Why does it not dare to expand iron smelting at all? Because expansion will increase the number of bureaucrats, which is not conducive to supervising corruption. In this outdated bureaucratic atmosphere, workers do dirty work and achieve merit, but the credit belongs to the bureaucracy. There is no enthusiasm, and production efficiency is low. The more you produce, the more you will lose, even if there is a broad market, it will be the same... "

Ming Dynasty now encountered almost the same problems as the Qing Dynasty’s Westernization Movement.

The majority of farmers lacked iron farm tools and had a broad market.

The larger the scale of the iron smelting plant, the weirder the situation, the greater the losses.

"We must first set an example and break some traditions that restrict production and development and can no longer keep up with the times!"

"Do you know why young people in our factory dare to propose shaving their heads? Although you encouraged it, this young worker had such an idea in the first place, so he was encouraged by the people you sent."

"Because our workshop is an employee-share system, we have a clear and detailed reward system. The more profitable the factory is, the more the workers will receive. Therefore, when things that restrict production efficiency arise, the workers will be motivated. Go break!”

"Our small steel furnace, the hydraulic roller for making iron sheets...the reason why innovation and development are so fast is because everyone in our factory is highly motivated!"

"Now, the strong tradition of inheriting the body, hair, and skin from our parents has suppressed enthusiasm. We only need the last bit of strength to break out of the cocoon. This strength can no longer be accomplished by relying on the people below. It is up to us people to exert our efforts. , the product after the cocoon bursts is a colorful and beautiful butterfly!"

“If we don’t exert our strength now, when will we wait?”

"If we don't work hard on this matter, we people will just be bureaucrats who have nothing to do!"

…

After Jiang Jinzhong heard this, he nodded solemnly, "Your Majesty, I understand!"

…

The palace.

Wu Yunqige held Jindouzi, and Narentuoya stood beside him, watching Xu Miaoyun preparing hot water and scissors.

Wu Yunqige said in surprise: "Sister-in-law, does my adopted brother really want to cut his hair?"

Does she know how much importance the Central Plains people attach to their hair?

As for beards, once you grow a beard, trimming your beard depends on the auspicious day.

Hair is even more important.

Narentuoya couldn't help laughing and said: "I don't know how ugly my fourth uncle will be after he cuts his hair."

"certainly not!"

Little Qihua, who was already eight years old, immediately became unhappy, "Sister Toya, you are talking nonsense. My father will definitely look more handsome after cutting his hair!"

That’s it.

He turned to look at Yong Ming, "Brother, dad hasn't come back yet, why don't you cut it first?"

puff!

Giggle...
