Opening game, American Tycoon

In fact, the so-called "live as happily, joyfully and richly as we are!" This set of words is similar, that is, it is the same as what the later generations of Midi said "We brought them freedom and MZ". It's just a trick, but I have to say that this set of speaking skills sounds pretty good.

For imperial expansion, it is better to have a high-level reason than to have no reason at all.

occupied?

What a joke.

We are liberated.

Compared with Mi Di's entanglement of being a bitch and setting up a torii.The Ming Empire was undoubtedly flexible. The empire didn't struggle with anything at all. It just supported a puppet first, and then waited for three to five years before directly "joining the state".

This operation can be one, two, or three.

Don't ask, asking is the choice of the people.

In fact, on this point, Emperor Zhu has always fully learned from the "successful experience" of Emperor Mi from another world.Although Midi was often a whore, he failed to stand on the archway.

To put it bluntly, now Daming really treats himself like a bitch, and even erected the archway.

Of course, compared to the war and destruction brought about by Midi, Daming has actually brought changes in the lives of everyone.

This point is not that Emperor Zhu boasted, but someone endorsed it.

"...The industrial take-off of the Ming Empire was rooted in the imperial consortium, which was a model of industrialization similar to that led by the state. After the establishment of the empire, the dominance of the imperial consortium changed to a state-led one. In the Ming Empire, we witnessed how the empire promoted and developed this model—the imperial government first formulated an industrial economic development plan, and set up a state-owned enterprise at the same time. The company is used to promote the development of certain regions or industries; while guiding the investment flow of private capital, fully mobilizing official and private capital, thus promoting the development of the imperial industrial economy..."

Flipping through the last posthumous works of his friend Karl, Friedrich felt a little heavy. The death of his friend filled his heart with grief, but the last few years of his friend were undoubtedly fulfilling. The investigation of this country gave him many answers.

"...Through the research on the farms of the empire, I found that the mode of the imperial farm is not so much a farm as a joint-stock company, the farm of the Ming Empire - almost accompanied by its early development, on the surface, it seems to be It belongs to the company or the country, but in fact, the employees of the farm are the shareholders of the farm themselves. The shares of each household are exactly the same, and the management team—the head of the farm is elected through the general meeting of shareholders. And these shareholders themselves are the employees of the company , when they supervise the operation of the management... These farms are actually an employee-owned company. And their business is very prominent, that is, agriculture! It is not complicated at all, and they receive various supports during the operation process, such as providing land—— The land serves as the share capital, and the state serves as a member of the shareholders. Accountants are assigned to take charge of finances and audit farm operations. At the same time, special companies are set up to purchase agricultural products, and banks provide low-interest loans, etc. Therefore, the empire’s farm operations have always been very successful..."

Sitting at the desk, Friedrich looked through his friend's posthumous works. In the past few years of doing business, he had dealt with farms a lot, so he naturally knew that the operations of those farms were very successful.

"The importance of farms to the Ming Empire has often been ignored by people. The whole world only sees the rapid rise of the empire's industry. What made it take them only 20 years to catch up with Britain? Just for catching the second industrial revolution?"

"...Farms have attracted a large amount of labor for a long time. The vast land of the New World allows them to have enough land to settle immigrants. The sufficient population is one of the reasons why the Ming Empire was able to rise rapidly."

"The second is that the farm has raised enough funds for its industrialization. Through the study of the import and export situation of the Ming Empire in the past twelve years, it can be found that the funds supporting the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the direct investment from the private sector such as the imperial consortium, the imperial official The investment is obtained through the profit distribution of the farm. In 1880 alone, the official farm dividend of the empire was 3000 million 400 million yuan. In the same year, the official industrial investment of the empire was 8000 million yuan, and two thirds of the investment From farm dividends.

It was agriculture that really supported the industrialization of Ming Dynasty!
As early as the Nanhua period, its export products included a large number of agricultural products-beef, milk, leather, palm oil, wheat, flour, etc., and in 1870, the total export of the empire's agricultural products exceeded 75 million pounds, accounting for More than 3000% of its exports!At the same time, the import of the Ming Empire was almost [-] million pounds.If there were no such agricultural products, Daming would suffer a deficit of more than [-] million pounds every year, which is [-] million Ming yuan..."

What are these numbers?
It is Karl's research on the Ming Empire. In the past few years, Karl has been studying and observing this country seriously, and even Friedrich has shifted his focus of work to this country-in the past few years, he Have been doing business here.

"In 1881, the steel output of the Ming Empire exceeded 1000 million tons for the first time. As a sign, the industrial economy of the empire surpassed that of the United Kingdom. People noticed all this, but it was in that year that the Ming Empire left the traditional European countries such as Britain far behind. It was not until 1878 when the steel output of the Ming Empire exceeded 1881 million tons that the whole world was surprised. It was discovered that the empire has far surpassed them. When the whole world is paying attention to its astonishing industrial achievements, it seems that everyone has ignored one point intentionally or unintentionally-the Ming Empire attaches far more importance to workers' welfare than any other nation!"

worker benefits.

Seeing these words, Friedrich looked a little complicated. When Karl and the others were in Europe, they once again advocated for the welfare of workers, but what did they get in exchange for their appeal?

Eight hour work?

Although Karl and others proposed the "eight-hour work system" more than ten years ago, it was just a loud cry, and no factory owner would accept it.

But in the Ming Empire, all this is completely different.

"Before the invention of the electric light, the general working hours of the factories were more than 12 hours, and after the invention of the electric lights, the general working hours of the factories were extended to more than 14 hours. When it was destroyed, as the country that invented the electric light, the Ming Empire did not extend the working hours of the workers because of the invention of the electric light, but it kept reducing the working hours, from a maximum of 12 hours to 10 hours, and even included one hour of work. dining time……"

Later, in Carl's manuscript, he mentioned Daming's pension insurance and medical insurance system, and even mentioned Daming's public rental housing system.

"We often say that the rule of the empire is decadent and is destined to be eliminated by history, but here, what is presented to the world is a completely different rule of the empire - as the emperor Shengde said - the empire Our responsibility is to make all citizens live happily, happily and richly!"
