Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 115 The First Industrial Revolution of the Ming Empire

Times are really different.

This is the most real feeling from the princes and nobles to the common people after 12 years in Hongwu.

If Daming is compared to a carriage, this year is the year when the carriage really started to speed up.

After the Beijing-North Railway, the first railway of the Ming Dynasty, was completed, several railway construction plans were put on the agenda at the same time under the leadership of the imperial court. From north to south, from west to east, these railways will run through the entire Ming Dynasty in the future. This huge empire is really closely linked.

And building roads is also throwing money at the same time, and countless treasures will be transferred from the imperial treasury to the people, factories, and everyone who surrounds these railway services.

And this will drive a large wave of consumer demand, further stimulating the establishment of various private factories and workshops.

According to the statistics of Jinyiwei in the first half of the year, in the first half of Hongwu's 12th year alone, more than 1 workshops were established in the entire Ming Dynasty.

People from all walks of life began to give full play to their ingenuity and wisdom to improve various machines and make them more suitable for their factories.

Countless novel inventions that can improve productivity emerge every day, and are sent to government offices in various places for reporting, and then used in the development and production of various workshops.

Some technologies, even Zhu Biao, hadn't had time to be introduced from the late Qing Dynasty. Stimulated by the massive treasure banknotes, the common people figured it out by themselves.

After being stimulated by various policies of the imperial court and under the subtle influence of more than ten years, this great empire, which was originally unchanged, finally began to mobilize its vitality.

In the words of Napoleon, the lion of the east opened his eyes at this moment.

Zhu Biao felt that this should be regarded as the first industrial revolution of the Ming Empire.

Because he really felt the breath of industrialization began to sweep every corner of the Ming Empire, including the court and the palace.

The types and quantities of various goods on the street are obviously increasing, and the prices of most goods are falling.

Clothes, shoes, and hats are the most basic, and even modern industrial products such as matches and mirrors have begun to appear in some stores.

In Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao sat opposite each other.

When Zhu Biao talked about the changes in Ming Dynasty in the past two years.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help reminding again: "The most important reason why Ming was able to complete reforms in more than ten years and gradually transform from an agricultural country to an industrial country was because this was the beginning of the founding of the country, and the old interest classes had just been killed. And the new interest class has not yet fully formed, so this step can be completed so easily, if we wait until the founding of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, and then carry out the industrial revolution, I am afraid that there will be a lot of people who will not be killed, and it will not be possible."

"But it will also create a new class of interests."

"It's just that the former interest class was landlords and gentry, but now they have become workshop owners. They are no different from landlords. One is to enslave farmers through the land, and the other is to enslave workers through factories."

"While developing industry, you must do a good job of supervision in this area. As long as you find a factory that is harsh on workers, you will immediately inspect it, and you will never tolerate it!"

"Also, to formulate reasonable treatment for workers in conjunction with the six ministries, workers must not be made slaves of factory owners."

"Let the workers know that the Ming Empire is their solid backing, not those factory owners."

"The most important point is that the power of these factory owners must not be allowed to infiltrate the ranks of officials. Officials are not allowed to engage in business or open private factories. This must be clearly reflected in the Daming Law."

"But if there is a violation, the head will be killed directly."

"It is absolutely impossible to let a group of businessmen stand on the head of the imperial court to defecate and point out the country like the Xiyi people in the late Qing Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a murderous face.

Zhu Biao nodded when he heard the words.

In fact, the industrialization of the Ming Empire was quite different from the industrialization of the West in the late Qing Dynasty.

If we say that the first industrial revolution in the West was dominated by the bourgeoisie, it was the first time for capitalists to show their right to speak on the national stage.

This industrial revolution in Ming Dynasty was dominated by state capital from the beginning to the end, and then led to the national industrialization of the entire country's comprehensive development and reform.

Compared with the large multinational capitalists who stole the country in the West in the late Qing Dynasty, these private workshop owners in the Ming Dynasty can only be regarded as the younger brothers of the younger brothers, and they are completely unworthy of the stage.

It was actually the state-owned economy that dominated the economy of the Ming Dynasty and most of the means of production.

Especially industries that are related to the lifeline of the country, including steel, salt, and grain.

And this structure Zhu Biao does not intend to change.

Because today's Ming Dynasty does not lack funds and technology, there is no need to add private elements to these state-owned workshops.

All he has to do is to set up a good supervision system to prevent the leaders of these state-owned economies from being corrupted.

Of course, the situation Zhu Yuanzhang said also needs to be vigilant. If those workshop owners do not exercise restraint, they will eventually become capitalists.

It was also when the industrial revolution started vigorously in the Ming Dynasty.

Late Qing Dynasty.

Guangzhou City.

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at his task.

[Killing one is a crime, killing ten thousand is a hero; killing nine million is a hero among heroes. 】

【Mission: Stop crime by killing】

【斩杀清兵：82143/100000；斩杀洋人：28245/100000；斩杀超凡者；100/100】

[Task countdown: ten years]

[Task reward: one and three talents to kill the formation; two, Wusheng Tower]

[Note: If this task fails, you will lose the title of Son of the Plane. 】

It has been almost six years since the opening of this world. One hundred superhumans had already been killed in the confrontation with the British fleet. The Qing soldiers have also killed a lot in recent years. There are still four years to complete.

But this foreigner still has to find a way.

It's not that those guys are too hard to kill, but too stubborn.

Zhu Yuanzhang has learned a lot about fighting with foreigners. These people will flee at the slightest headwind, and they will surrender in all likelihood if they have no escape route.

Now there are still more than 2 foreign devil miners captured from various places in the mine!

"It's really not possible, so we can only kill those guys first." Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself with a flash of killing intent in his eyes.

"His Majesty!"

"Jinyiwei reported that the Japanese launched a military attack on Taiwan?"

"It seems that there are British and French envoys behind it." Suddenly, when Zhu Yuanzhang was figuring out where to kill, Mao Xiang hurried in and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, and then a sneer appeared on his face.

This is really sleepy and someone will give you a pillow!

"It's just right, I can borrow the head from the Japanese!"

"Anyway, whether it is an Oriental or a Westerner, they are all foreigners."
