Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 221 The Charm of Monopoly

Daming was a feudal dynasty dominated by a small-scale peasant economy. Although some so-called capital sprouts sprouted in the southern part of Daming, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, it was still a very fragile existence.

Faced with the unfavorable situation of powerful privileged classes, complex and diverse political structure, frequent natural disasters, intensified internal class conflicts, serious land annexation, and the awakening of rebel forces, as the emperor of Ming Dynasty, the fundamental reason to break the situation is to first Have a certain amount of capital.

The core of Emperor Chongzhen's creation of a state-owned economy was not only to increase domestic funds to generate income, but also to build a professional and efficient industrial line.

Only by continuously improving productivity and making continuous progress in a certain field can a monopoly be formed, and then more money can be earned, forcing the productivity to continue to increase.

"Wang Banban, there is one more thing to be supervised in the name of the Supervisor of Ceremonies." Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen with a serious expression, and said: "The twelve supervisors, four divisions and eight bureaus of the inner court, especially those like the military battle bureau, are all If there are artisan households managed under the rule, they must be registered again."

"Especially for special groups like hired craftsmen, they need to be carefully screened out. I need to know an exact number within half a month, so that the inner factory can open more workshops on the Huangzhuang side.

In addition, it was passed on to Huangzhuang in the various prefectures of Northern Zhili, in the name of the factory, and the eunuchs in charge of the village were called to start gathering artisan households to take in orphans and beggars from the people. "

"Here!"

Since there was no decent monopoly power under the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen had to rely on the power of the inner court to build his own monopoly organization.

Right now, the money and food in the internal funds are relatively abundant, and it is time to start building a talent system for cultivating craftsmen, accounting and other fields.

According to the vision of Emperor Chongzhen, if one really wants to build a state-owned economy headed by domestic factories, talents in various fields are inseparable. Now that the foundation is established, it is always right to lay the foundation from now on.

"My lord...the servants don't understand one thing." Wang Chengen hesitated again and again, and finally said: "The servants are aware of the matter of gathering artisans.

However, if we take in orphans and beggars from the people, if we do this, the number of people we will take in will not be less than tens of thousands, or even more. This will put a lot of pressure on the inner court. "

With tens of thousands of mouths, the food eaten every day is not a small sum.

Faced with Wang Chengen's inquiry, Emperor Chongzhen was not unhappy at all, and he was still willing to spend more time and energy to give advice to this loyal servant.

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said: "The reason for taking in orphans and beggars is that I want to train them from an early age so that they can have special skills.

In fields such as accounting, smelting, forging, cotton textiles, etc., it is impossible to be proficient in these professional fields without corresponding training.

The reason why I want to do these things is that I am the father of Ming Dynasty, and I can't just watch them freeze to death or starve to death.

One I intend to let the inner factory, through the Huangzhuang under its jurisdiction, build a lot of workshops, so as to monopolize some industries.

Speaking of which, it is not short for you to be by my side.

You should be aware of the state's tax situation in your heart. There are many places that need money, but very little tax is collected, and there are many factors that cause this situation.

Even if we want to rectify these unhealthy status quo and get rid of those stubborn diseases, it will be a long-term task.

But the frequent disasters in various places, the allocation of military salaries in various places, the rebellion in Shanshan and Shaanxi, and the counter-rebellion in Liaodong... Which one, which one does not need money? "

Hearing what his emperor said, Wang Chengen understood a little bit.

The emperor wants to effectively manage the Huangzhuang in the northern Zhili prefectures through the inner factory, and build workshops of a corresponding scale to earn more money for the inner money.

Instead of taking the only money and food in the country and applying for it in various names, it seems to solve the problem, but in fact most of them are exploited by corrupt officials at all levels, and very few of them are actually implemented. It is better to do more. Some meaningful things, and leave the mess of the Wai Dynasty to the civil servants of the Wai Dynasty.

If Emperor Chongzhen could build a state-owned economy headed by domestic factories within a few years, monopolize some fields, and open maritime trade at that time, many problems would be solved.

Daming, which was in the Little Ice Age, continued to follow the old path of small-scale peasant economy, and could not get rid of practical problems at all. No matter how much Emperor Chongzhen did, it would just be a continuation of his breath.

The only feasible way is to take the industrialization route, but not all the professional fields involved in it are understood by Emperor Chongzhen, so he can only move forward by groping.

Improve productivity, actively develop foreign trade, and gradually force Ming to advance under absolute benefits, so that it is possible to explore industrialization.

"Okay, you first give me the errand that I entrusted to you, and then we can talk about it after it is done." Emperor Chongzhen stood up and said to Wang Chengen: "After all these are done, I will give you a copy of the "Inner Factory Development Industry Guidebook" ", I will explain it to you one by one at that time, so that the internal factory can have a better development."

"Here!"

There is no rush to build a state-owned economy. After all, you can’t become a fat man. As the largest landlord in Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen had enough patience to gradually build assembly-line workshops on his private land. Everything is moving forward in the process of groping. .

Anyway, Daming is doing badly like this, if he can't succeed, he will go to the mountains to fight guerrillas.

After talking so much with Wang Chengen and solving some problems in the inner factory, Emperor Chongzhen left the Qianqing Palace and drove to the Kunning Palace, ready to meet his stingy father-in-law.

It is said that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very tense, and the relationship between Weng and son-in-law is also difficult.

Empress Zhou was pregnant, and recently missed her father. As her husband, Emperor Chongzhen, he couldn't refuse, but when he thought of all the things his stingy father-in-law had done, Emperor Chongzhen was quite helpless.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen frowned, Han Zanzhou cautiously stepped forward and said, "My lord...do you want your servant to send someone to Kunning Palace to report first? Do you want to..."

"Need not."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Let's ask the empress to talk more with my father-in-law, and just go directly to Kunning Palace."

"Here!"

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen was thinking in his heart that his stingy father-in-law had a bit of a Shanxi old stingy demeanor. If he could beat it well and use his status as the head of the state to start the ticket office business, would it be feasible?

After all, if the bank account industry can come to Daming ahead of schedule, the huge profits in it will be unimaginable. After all, the most lucrative industry is actually the financial industry.

However, if this matter is to be planned successfully, if you don't obey Zhou Guozhang's governance, obey your own words, and commit the old mistakes before, then it will definitely not work.
