Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 523 Government-run factories (2)

Zhou Kui smiled wryly in his heart, and when he told the emperor what he said, he just felt a little dizzy. In three years, he would have to open Huitong ticket offices in Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and other places. This is by no means an easy task.

"I will obey your orders!"

Ye Jingjiang, Zuo Guozhong, Miao Huhong and others have bowed to each other.

The development of the Huitong ticket number to today is no longer what Zhou Kui said alone.

A group of people like Ye Jingjiang were secretly investigated by Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Neichang, and after being finalized by Emperor Chongzhen, they joined the Huitong bank with money.

With ability and money, Emperor Chongzhen didn't mind that there were a group of private capital groups inside the Huitong bank.

After all, the development of industry and commerce is inseparable from the financial support of the ticket office.

Furthermore, the Yanhui Tongtong account also takes into account the burden of cultivating talents.

In a few more years, Emperor Chongzhen will start from the court level, prepare to establish the Daming State-owned Bank, and completely take over this part of the power under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The clarification and integration of Daming's finances is a long and arduous process, and it cannot be completed in one or two years. During this period, many aspects must be taken into account.

Otherwise, if you choose to rectify rashly, but find that you can't support it in the end, it will only lead to the complete collapse of Daming's finances.

This is undoubtedly a disaster.

This is not the result that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to see.

As for the public-private Huitong ticket number, it will be the private property of the royal family in the future.

All the state treasury belongs to the state treasury, and all internal funds belong to the internal funds. The two must be distinguished.

"Preparing to build government-run factories in various places, this road has no precedent before the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhang Jinzhong and the others, and said with a serious expression: "Now there are only a few prefectures and counties in Tianjin and Zhili. Under the successive explorations of Chen Yansheng, the prefect of Tianjin, and Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Zhili, a number of government-run factories have been established. not bad.

However, those government-run factories are 100% controlled by the government.

The government-run factories you are planning to build are somewhat different in nature from theirs, and should be counted as joint venture factories.

Chuanhai always evolved and developed as an imperial store, which represents Zhen and the inner court, so the burden on your shoulders is very heavy.

It is impossible for the factories organized by Huangzhuang to be transferred to the Chuanhai Federation, so you have to start from scratch.

Including how to clarify the share, what the future development plan is, and how to expand the industrial chain, all must be clarified one by one, so as not to build a batch of bad factories for me. "

At the beginning, Emperor Chongzhen planned to build an internal money economy and wanted to continuously increase productivity, but gradually discovered a problem. The model was too single and could not effectively increase productivity as a whole.

Only by involving more groups can Daming's productivity develop steadily and more industrial chains be cultivated.

Compared with the bloody expansion route taken by the Europa countries like England, Ming Dynasty actually has many advantages.

Firstly, the territory under the control is vast, secondly, there is a sound ruling system, and thirdly, land annexation is very serious, resulting in a large number of bankrupt groups under the rule.

It was precisely the last one, which made Emperor Chongzhen want to take this path.

Daming was in the Little Ice Age, which would cause many people to lose their land. If we were to follow the old path, it would inevitably lead to all kinds of troubles and contradictions.

But if we talk about the process of primitive industrialization, as long as we gradually adjust the policies and framework, we can turn these into advantages and reversely promote the self-innovation of Ming Dynasty.

This is not an avenue that can be realized easily, but it is the only avenue that can be passed and continued in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, I have a question."

Zhang Jinzhong stepped forward and bowed: "I understand the concept of a joint venture to build a factory, but I want to know something, how to make it clear that it involves the sale of special technologies?
Is it limited to the imperial merchants who cooperate with the Chuanhai Federation, or can all merchants understand this and can participate?

In addition, how to deal with the industrial workers needed for the initial development of the batch of government-run factories to be established? "

"Your Majesty, I also have questions."

Lu Yongbao followed closely and said, "Should the government-run factories that are planned to be established in the local area be directly under the jurisdiction of the Chuanhai Federation, or should the local government also have jurisdiction?

If the development of government-run factories creates a conflict with the local government, how should it be resolved? "

"That's right, if you can tell the question, it means that you have really thought about it."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "First of all, the government-run factories under the jurisdiction of the Chuanhai Federation are directly controlled by the government office, and the local government has no right to govern.

At that time, the Chuanhai Federation will set up branches in various places, under the jurisdiction of various industry branches, and form a clear level-by-level supervision and control. This is the key.

The existence of those imperial merchants is to help you develop, and at the same time play a role in reducing pressure in the early stage. If the development is good in the future, you can select a group of new merchants to come in. "

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, Chuanhai General Assembly is, in a sense, the general government office of the state-owned industries of the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, after gradually developing, they will be gradually dismantled and independent, becoming independent groups one by one, and will be under the jurisdiction of a special organization at that time.

People like Zhang Jinzhong, Lu Yongbao, Yue Qingzhang, and Sheng Yingwu, if they are really capable, can withstand the temptation of money, and have not been corrupted, they will all become members of the Ming Dynasty official group.

The development of primitive industrialization cannot be separated from the leading control of the imperial court.

This is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and if it is separated from this foundation, then the Ming Dynasty will become the world of private capital.

After all, in this development process, a group of large and small factory owners will gradually emerge. Once they become powerful, they will use more ruthless methods to exploit.

Really waited until that time, it is really hard to say who the Emperor of Ming is.

It's just that the rice needs to be eaten one bite at a time.

If these core framework ideas are to be gradually built, the primitive industrialization must first be cultivated under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and then gradually adjusted.

As long as there is a problem, the problem can be solved.

It is impossible to say that there is no problem, and to solve the problem out of thin air.

People like Zhang Jinzhong, Lu Yongbao, Yue Qingzhang, and Sheng Yingwu all showed different expressions. Through the words spoken by the emperor, they vaguely guessed something.

But the level of understanding is not high, so I don't understand in my heart what these represent.

"For the overall development of Huitong Ticket Number, I can set a corresponding time and to what extent it must be developed."

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "But on the government-run factories, I can't give such a deadline. After all, it takes time to invest and build a factory, which is fundamentally different from the Huitong ticket number.

However, you should open as many government-run factories as possible, absorb more out-of-production groups from all over the country, and help local governments eliminate hidden dangers.

So the industrial workers developed in the early stage, to be precise, should be the technical backbone of various industries.

The batch of factories organized by Huangzhuang will provide you with benefits, and their benefits, including monthly wages, will be transferred to those newly established factories.

As for the sale of special technology, compared with the internal factory, it has gone through layers of screening and inspection, and you only need [-]% of the price for the external sale to conduct transactions. "

Zhang Jinzhong, Lu Yongbao, Yue Qingzhang, and Sheng Yingwu looked at each other, and their expressions became excited. If this is the case, then their development of government-run factories can be said to have provided layers of convenience.

The various factories organized by Huangzhuang are responsible for providing special technology sales.

Huitong bill number, responsible for providing special joint-discussion loans.

The Chuanhai Association itself has relatively abundant money.

Compared with Liu Jiang'an, Xia Liangyu, Qin Zhihong, Kou Xiliang and other imperial merchants, to Zhang Jinzhong and Lu Yongbao from Chuanhai Association, what they care about is their own future.

After all, most of the silver shares of the Chuanhai Association are controlled by the internal funds, and they only account for a very small part.

When Wang Chengen represented the Son of Heaven at the beginning, he emphasized one point when meeting them, if he made achievements in Chuanhai General Assembly, then he would be an official in the future.

To be an official or a businessman, this kind of leap between classes is something that Zhang Jinzhong and the others dared not think of before.

It's just that Zhang Jinzhong and the others didn't think about why the factories that Huangzhuang planned to build could not be directly transferred to the Chuanhai General Assembly, which would save a lot of things.

Just because it involves industrial upgrading.

Emperor Chongzhen had to absolutely control a number of factories and continuously promote technological innovation, so that the original industrialization of Ming Dynasty could continue to move forward steadily.

"I have provided you with the convenience that should be provided."

Emperor Chongzhen looked indifferently, looked at Zhang Jinzhong and the others, and said, "I hope that Chuanhai General Assembly will build government-run factories in various places this time, so that I can achieve my expected goals.

Whether this matter can be handled well will affect the subsequent development of Daming. If you can't shoulder the burden, then I don't mind changing another group of people. "

"Sir, you understand!"

Zhang Jinzhong and the others immediately agreed.
