Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 462 Why do good things always appear in Yan Fan? !

When the fleet was still four or five miles away from the dock.

The naval escort warship behind Zhu Di's cruise ship accelerated to overtake the cruise ship.

A warship carrying the Marine Corps was the first to dock at the dock.

Snapped!

The disembarking pedal slapped against the cement-hardened pier.

Groups of soldiers dressed in white navy uniforms and large-brimmed hats with blue ribbons floating behind the hats were the first to disembark from the warships, carrying flintlock muskets on their backs.

blah blah blah...

Trotting, quickly taking over both sides of the pier.

"stand at attention!"

"Gap, turn back!"

Under the orders of team officers at all levels, the Marines in neat formations stood at attention on both sides of the dock passage.

Then, one person apart, turn back.

In this way, threats from any direction can be monitored by naval officers immediately.

A pair of sharp eyes stared at everyone around the dock carefully.

Those who can greet and watch the excitement near the pier are the elite upper class in Jinling City.

The gentry and merchants were powerful.

The momentum displayed by the Marines instantly silenced a group of men, women, and children who were talking in low voices.

Everyone was watching. They were already standing in formation, guarding the surroundings, as well as the tall and tall Marines wearing white clothes who were still disembarking from the ship.

The women looked at these soldiers who were almost the same height, tall and straight, and full of masculine and righteous spirit.

I couldn't help but whisper, "Is this still Qiu Ba?"

"This is too handsome and sassy!"

"Does King Yan specifically select his soldiers based on their appearance?"

……

In fact, apart from their stature, the soldiers were not handsome at all.

He used to be just an ordinary farmer's boy.

Mainly this military uniform.

As well as the education and training that the soldiers received after entering the army, they have already transformed all the simple farm boys who dare not even speak much into the melting pot of the army!

Compared to the female relatives.

The men were quiet, looking at other qualities of the Marines.

Hu Weiyong pushed Lu Ben and stood in front of the crowd. He looked past the princes and princesses in front and looked at the Yanfan Marines who were standing like pine trees.

The two people's expressions gradually became serious.

'Is it a fake? '

Lu Ben squeezed the amputated leg tightly.

Gee...

Among the princes.

Looking at the soldiers standing silently, Zhu Fang couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said with emotion: "The fourth child is walking in front of us again."

On the imperial court's side, it has only been a year or two since the new army was organized and trained.

Some people who are hostile to Lao Si.

Because the training of one million new troops has been completed.

Suddenly, he became even more arrogant.

All kinds of comments that were hostile to the fourth Yan Fan were noisy.

Even these vassal kings couldn't help but secretly nod with satisfaction every time they saw two towns under their command, and a new army mixed into the association.

But when everyone is satisfied.

The fourth Yan Fan unexpectedly kept silent and made progress again.

The kind carried by the Marines, not to mention the fire blunderbuss without the match rope.

The sharpness of weapons was originally the advantage of the fourth Yan Fan.

In terms of technological progress, Ming Dynasty really can't compare with Lao Si.

But the energy and spirit of the soldiers have completely distanced themselves in just a few years.

I don’t know if the army under Lao Si’s command is also like this.

Come to think of it, it's probably about the same.

Who dares to call such an army Qiu Ba!

Look at the female relatives who came to watch the fun.

This army was born to convince the people, not to make them afraid.

Zhu Fan said with emotion: "Perhaps this comes from the different governance concepts between the old Fourth Yan Fan and our Central Plains. Our Ming Dynasty basically still adheres to the rule of authority of the past dynasties. Although I have never been to the Old Fourth Yan Fan , it can be seen from the fact that they comprehensively improved the political and economic status of the people through rural village communities and the employment-share system governance concept, and completely abolished everyone in the world and bowed down to authority. It can be seen that the governance of the old fourth Yan Fan The concept is by no means the traditional authority of our Central Plains, but more towards convincing the people..."

In other words, many people in the Central Plains hate the fourth child.

The difference between the two concepts of governing the country is huge.

My father did not dare to promote the employment share system easily.

In addition to worrying about not having enough time, leaving a mess for the elder brother.

I'm afraid, my father doesn't have the confidence to do this, right?

After all, my father is an old-fashioned figure.

In fact, his original character should be a complete conservative.

Just imagine, if Lao Si had not come up with these ideas about rural village communities, it would have been a courtier other than the Zhu family.

I'm afraid the bones are all rotten now, right?

How could an old-school figure who accepted and always believed in traditional authority give his father the confidence to lead the Ming Dynasty to complete such a major change?

And the eldest brother...

He just doesn't understand.

Xu Shi has been exposed to imperial power since he was a child, which has a great influence on his eldest brother.

Or, the eldest brother lacks a little courage?

Anyway, he knew that his father had regarded his eldest brother as the transition between the old and new Ming Dynasty.

I have high hopes for Xiongying.

It is hoped that the transformation of the Ming Dynasty will be completely completed by the hero who has obtained the true biography of Lao Si.

……

When Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan were discussing in a low voice.

Zhu Di's cruise ship began to slowly approach the dock.

After Zhu Xi saw it, he smiled and said: "Come on, let's go meet the fourth child. By the way, let's take a look at my brat..."

As soon as Zhu Xi took a step, he was grabbed by Zhu Fan.

Zhu Fan gestured to the left.

Zhu Xi followed Zhu Fan's instructions and looked...

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai took the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette and took some of them, covering them with red silk cloth. They didn't know what they were, and they took the lead in approaching the cruise ship.

"These two things must have been well suppressed!"

Disgust flashed in Zhu Ming's eyes. Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai seemed to be reformists, but they had quite some complaints about Lao Si.

Moreover, these two people are still very close to Lu Ben.

Because Lu Ben was now the invigilator of the imperial examination.

He even regarded Lu Ben as his mentor.

When Lü Ben was serving as the inspector of the inspection department in his fiefdom of Beiping, he and Lü Ben were a bit dirty.

Whether it was from himself or from Huang Qi's past attitude towards Lao Si, he hated these two people.

However, these two people ultimately represented the court's Ministry of Etiquette.

And they came to greet the fourth child today just as brothers.

No, no, except for the Ministry of Rites, none of the officials in the court came today?

Zhu Fan sneered and said: "Don't worry, the fourth child is the one who suffers the disadvantage? Look at the fate of those who go against the fourth child now."

"That's right." Zhu Xi was immediately happy.

Turning to look at Zhu Xiongying, "Second uncle is not even as good as your kid."

Zhu Xiongying smiled.

Zhu Xi pointed at Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, who were boarding the cruise ship along the disembarkation pedal, "These two guys are reformists in disguise. Don't be fooled by them. We in Ming Dynasty have people who pretend to be reformers." a lot of."

Zhu Xiongying's eyes were fixed on the boat, in the direction of Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun. Hearing this, he nodded with a smile, "Second uncle, I know."

'You brat, you are really becoming more and more like a fourth child. '

Zhu Xiang secretly laughed and cursed, shook his head, and was not worried anymore.

In fact, this is not his point of view.

It is the view of the advisory group sent back by Lao Si.

He personally participated in the training of King Qin's guard, and at the request of the advisory group, he ate, lived and trained with the soldiers.

In the process, he and the head of the advisory group.

A first-class staff officer from the No. 1 Town of the Laosi Army had an in-depth conversation.

This staff officer had read books and passed the junior college entrance examination.

At that time, he talked about the reformists within the Ming Dynasty.

After chatting, Fang Xiaoru and others actively developed the reform faction and tried to quickly change the Ming Dynasty.

The first-class staff officer made some pessimistic remarks about the matter at that time, believing that the reformists within the Ming Dynasty were mixed in quality and had various motives. What’s more, many were conservatives who disguised themselves as reformists and blended in with the reformists. In the faction, the attempt is at the critical moment.

Give the reformists a fatal blow.

This first-class staff officer believed passionately and firmly.

If Ming Dynasty wants to innovate, it should be like Lao Si.

Never mind the conservatives and reformists, they first use force to promote two ideas.

Improve the political and economic status of the people, persist in consolidating the political and economic status of the people, and then train the people and educate young people ten or twenty years later.

The so-called conservatives must be yesterday's news.

If during this period, someone dares to come forward, undermine the two concepts, and pose a serious threat to the two concepts.

We should follow the example of Lao Si who killed the great scholar Wu Hai in Fujian.

Get rid of the people who caused the problem!

Kill a bunch of them.

Make a batch.

Then persist, exchange time for space, and complete the replacement of the old person with the new person.

He was really shocked when he looked at the enthusiasm of this first-class staff officer and listened to the other party's fanatical remarks.

Thinking about it later, I think it makes sense.

To be honest, after completing the reorganization of the new army, Ming Dynasty was fully qualified to do so.

Even if there are individual rebellions.

The imperial court has millions of elites who can be wiped out overnight!

If it were the fourth child who inherited the Ming Dynasty throne.

He could be 100% sure that if there were hundreds of people killed, mountains of corpses piled up, and rivers of blood flowing, the fourth child would definitely carry out the plan forcefully.

It's a pity that the fourth child cannot be the master of Ming Dynasty.

……

Zhu Xi sighed secretly and shifted his gaze to the direction of the cruise ship.

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng got on the boat and came to Zhu Di. They bowed solemnly and said: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng pay their respects to the prince."

Zhu Di looked at the two of them and waved his hand, "No need, what are the arrangements?"

Huang Zicheng took a deep breath and said: "The prince's hair accessories and clothes are not in line with the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. Our etiquette department prepared hair covers and clothes for the prince and his party. These hair covers were collected from prisoners who were sentenced to death in prison. Come..."

Yu Tongyuan stood beside Zhu Di, his expression changed instantly.

"presumptuous!"

As soon as he spoke, Zhu Di raised his hand to stop him, looked at Huang Qi and Huang Qi with a smile, and said playfully: "I don't know who gave you the courage. Are you going to learn from Lu Ben? Tell Lu Ben later, or the people behind you, if you want to If you live a good life, you must not provoke me."

After speaking, Zhu Di waved his hand and ordered: "Take all the people from the Ministry of Rites down to the power cabin and wait with the cattle. When the people disperse, throw them directly into the Qinhuai River."

After saying this, Zhu Di passed Huang Qi and walked straight to the dock.

When he came back this time, he had no intention of swallowing his anger.

Yu Tongyuan glared at Huang Qi and hurriedly chased after them.

"King Yan, this is the Ming Dynasty, you must abide by it..." Qi Tai spoke angrily. Before he finished speaking, a group of navy officers who were operating the ship came up with a smile, put their arms around the shoulders of Huang Zicheng and others, and led Huang Zicheng and others towards Go to the power cabin.

Huang Zicheng and others wanted to struggle, but a group of powerless civil servants were no match for a group of soldiers.

These soldiers only used one arm to immobilize Huang Zicheng and others.

The other hand covered the mouths of Huang Zicheng and others.

As a result, everyone on the dock could only see the navy officer, Huang Zicheng and others entering the cabin with their arms around each other and smiling.

The people didn't see any flaws.

Lu Ben watched Zhu Di get off the boat. Zhu Xi and others had already swarmed up and rushed to greet him. However, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others they had arranged for entered the cabin arm-in-arm with the Yanfan navy.

Suddenly he was angry and gritted his teeth and whispered: "What are they doing!"

"Haha, fourth brother, I miss my second brother so much." The thoughts of everyone near the dock were interrupted by Zhu Xi's exaggerated laughter. After Zhu Xi met Zhu Di, he hugged him suddenly and asked loudly with a smile: "Have you given me to my second brother?" Brother, have you brought anything?"

Zhu Di pushed Zhu Laoer away and scolded with a smile: "Are you welcoming me, missing me, or are you eager to ask me if I have brought you anything good?"

"It's all there, haha..."

Haha ...

All the members of the Zhu family royal family who gathered around laughed instantly.

"The second sister-in-law, the third brother, the third sister-in-law, and the fifth child seem to have grown taller again..."

After Zhu Di greeted everyone.

Finally, he looked at Zhu Xiongying, who was standing not far away with a group of third-generation royals, his eyes slightly red.

Zhu Xiongying quickly came to Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun.

"Fourth uncle, fourth aunt..."

When he opened his mouth, there was a choking sound.

Everyone looked on and sighed.

Zhu Di raised his hand and patted Zhu Xiongying on the shoulder with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for several years. He has grown into a young man. In the blink of an eye, he will start a family and start a business. He is no longer the little guy who often flooded the golden mountains with his fourth uncle when he went to Liaodong. .”

Zhu Xiongying smiled and scratched his head, "Xiongying is really happy that his fourth uncle can come back and witness Xiongying get married and start a business."

Really.

He was afraid that his fourth uncle would not come back.

When Fang Xiaoru went to Yanjing, he hesitated for a while and wanted to write a letter to his fourth uncle and fourth aunt in person, hoping that his fourth uncle and fourth aunt could come back and watch him marry Senior Sister Cailu with his own eyes.

But he couldn't force his fourth uncle like this.

Everyone knows what the Ming Dynasty has done to the fourth uncle's Yan Fan over the years, openly and secretly.

It is reasonable for the fourth uncle not to come back.

Unexpectedly, the fourth uncle came back.

Zhu Di knew what Xiongying wanted to express, so he smiled and nodded silently.

This is the tacit understanding between their uncle and nephew.

"Big brother!"

Qihua suddenly jumped out from behind Zhu Di, jumping up and down, and asked happily: "Brother, are you happy when I come back to witness the marriage of eldest brother and senior sister?"

Xiongying looked at this cousin, who was closer than his biological sister, and nodded with a smile, "Of course I'm happy. The eldest brother is asking the younger sister first. When the time comes, please don't tease the eldest brother and senior sister."

A group of adults were immediately amused.

Yong Ming came over with Jin Douzi. Unlike Qihua, he calmly joked: "Brother, actually I also like Senior Sister Cailu, but unfortunately, I was born too late."

"We senior sisters, you don't like it. You like the delicious food made by senior sisters. Don't think I don't know. When senior sisters and others get married, you often go there to get delicious food."

Haha ...

A group of adults were amused again.

Zhu Xi pulled Zhu Di aside and said, "Let the kids talk about the kids, and we adults talk about the adults."

Xu Miaoyun stood with a group of sisters-in-law.

Guanyin Nu, Princess Xie of Jin, and others looked around Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Jingjing, and whispered about Yan Fan's clothes.

"Miaoyun, your new clothes are so pretty."

"I feel like this outfit would be suitable for riding a horse."

"Second sister-in-law, this fabric is canvas. Indeed, this kind of split clothing is very suitable for horse riding. When you go to Yanjing, second sister-in-law, I will take you to the racecourse to ride horses."

“Are these shoes made of leather?”

"Well, mainly sheepskin and pigskin."

……

Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan and others took a look at the circle of women.

Zhu Fan raised his head, touched Zhu Di's face, looked up and down, looked Zhu Di up and down, and couldn't help but nodded, "At the beginning, you took the lead. After the news came back that Yan Fan started cutting his hair, it was still exaggerated by the government and the public for a while. It’s not just about adapting to industrialization, but it’s also good for individuals.”

Easy to take care of.

spirit.

If nothing else, let’s just talk about getting dressed.

Daming's outfit, to be honest, is too cumbersome.

Putting on clothes is difficult without someone to help.

It's not like the new clothes of Lao Si and others.

There are not so many straps, just put it on and just button it up.

……

"Cousin, is that a bicycle?" Suddenly, Zhu Yuxiu exclaimed, interrupting the conversation of Zhu Di brothers.

Zhu Fang and others looked to the children's side, and then looked in the direction of Zhu Yuxiu's finger.

A cargo ship docked.

Strange cars were unloaded from the freighter.

Zhu Di looked at the carriage that was brought back and was unloaded first. He introduced with a smile: "This is a new carriage..."

"Let's go, let's take a look." Zhu Feng urged.

A group of people immediately moved to the loading dock not far away.

A group of people gathered around the first carriage.

Zhu Xi poked at the golden hollow decoration of the carriage, turned around and asked with a smile: "Isn't it a gold decoration?"

Zhu Di smiled and glared, "It's made of copper. It's for the old man and the queen, so it's decorated with copper."

He knew the old man too well.

If he dared to decorate the carriage with gold, the old man would definitely teach him a lesson.

"What about ours? Fourth brother, do we have it?" Zhu Ru, the fifth child, couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes, I brought back more than a hundred of those at the back, and every family has one. However, except for my father and eldest brother's, ours are more ordinary and not decorated with brass..."

"Come here, bring our horses. I want to take a new-style carriage into the city!" Zhu Ping turned around and shouted an order to his followers.

Subsequently.

Carriages, pulled by horses, left the dock and docked in the distance. "This is a bicycle." While Zhu Shuang and others were still watching the carriage, Qihua pulled Zhu Yuxiu and ran towards another approaching cargo ship that was unloading.

The adults looked curiously.

"Brother, these two cars are for eldest brother and senior sister..." Qihua began to allocate them to her cousins. She clearly remembered who each car was given to.

Seeing Qihua riding a bicycle to demonstrate to Zhu Xiongying and others, Zhu Fang suddenly became childlike and waved: "Little Qihua, come to my second uncle."

Qihua quickly approached on his bicycle and braked to a stop.

Zhu Ping looked around and looked at his eldest son sitting on the small seat at the back. He urged: "Shang Bing, go down and let dad sit down."

Zhu Shangbing rolled his eyes, jumped out of the car, and ran to Guanyin Nu.

Guanyinnu touched Zhu Shangbing's little head and looked at Zhu Ping, who was sitting behind Qihua, with a smile.

After Zhu Xi sat down, he patted the back of Qihua's head and urged, "Quick, let's experience it with my second uncle."

Qihua pedaled a few times, but couldn't move anymore. She turned her head and said helplessly, "Second uncle, you are too heavy. I can't carry you."

Zhu Di smiled angrily and said: "Zhu Lao Er, so many people are watching, can you save some face for our Lao Zhu family?"

Hearing this, the group of people all laughed.

"This niece's pain is in vain." Zhu Ping smiled and patted the top of Qi Hua's hair angrily and amusedly.

Turning to look at Zhu Di, "After entering the palace, fourth brother, you will personally take the second brother to experience it!"

Zhu Di stared with a smile.

Soon, clocks and steam engines were unloaded from the cargo ship.

It's getting late too.

Zhu Xi and others all knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was still waiting for Zhu Di and his family in the palace.

So other than checking out the appearance of the follow-up items, I didn’t ask in any particular detail.

Anyway, there is plenty of time to ask slowly.

"Dad, let's ride back to the city first, okay?" Qihua rode the car she brought back specially and looked at Zhu Di eagerly.

Zhu Di looked at his nephews, nieces and younger brothers and sisters.

Everyone looked at him eagerly.

He smiled and nodded, "Don't be crazy. As long as it's safe, Dad agrees."

"Daddy is the best!" Qihua raised her hands happily and cheered, turning to look at Zhu Yuxiu, "Yuxiu, sit up quickly!"

Zhu Yuxiu glanced at Zhu Di timidly and sat in the back seat of Qihua.

Do not know why.

Goodbye Fourth Uncle.

She felt that the aura of her fourth uncle was very much like that of her imperial grandfather. Anyway, she was very scared.

"Let's go!"

A group of children led another group of children who did not know how to ride a bicycle. They cheered as Qihua, and under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, they left with innocent laughter that only children can have.

Zhu Di watched Xiongying watch Qihua and others leave with envy in his eyes, and rubbed Xiongying's head, "Let's go and get in a car with our fourth uncle. When we get back, let Qihua and Yongming teach you."

The Ming Dynasty and Yan Fan were different.

The conservative atmosphere here is too strong.

Xiongying is not suitable. On such occasions, he would ride away like Qihua and Yongming did.

Even if he learns it, he may have to live in the East Palace and the Imperial Palace for a long time.

"You women will take one, and I, Lao San, Lao Si, and Xiong Ying will take one." Zhu Ping quickly followed Zhu Di into the carriage.

He had already seen it.

This kind of carriage has two rows of seats facing each other and can accommodate four people.

More than a hundred carriages started.

There was a long row of trucks at the back, loaded with the things Zhu Di had brought back. They followed the carriage and started slowly, heading towards the city.

The people watched and talked about it.

"Sure enough, I knew that when King Yan comes back, he will definitely bring back a lot of shocking things!"

"The kind of car Princess Qihua rides is a bicycle, right? It's amazing. It can really move without being pulled by an animal. I don't know if it's expensive. If not, I want to buy one too."

"Look at the carriages that the prince and the others are riding in. They all have glass installed on the carriages. I don't know if this kind of carriage will be sold in the Central Plains. If it is sold, boss, our car dealership should buy a few to try. I think this The stallion carriage is so beautiful and will definitely replace the carriage we use now."

"I want to see that kind of clock that keeps time accurately..."

"Don't worry, I judge that the Tuqiao Village Comprehensive Store will have a display soon. We will definitely be able to see it by then."

"Yeah, why did I forget about the general store! It is said that the hand-operated sewing machine was the first to be sold in the general store!"

……

Lu Ben watched the new carriages passing by and heard the lively discussions among the people and businessmen. He clenched his fists tightly and cursed through gritted teeth: "What a strange and clever trick!"

Hu Weiyong watched the carriage pass by without saying anything and remained silent.

It's indeed a strange and obscene skill.

But from the comments of the surrounding people and businessmen, it is not difficult to see that these strange and obscene skills are liked by a wide range of people within the Ming Dynasty.

And Zhu Silang will soon use these strange and obscene skills to earn a lot of wealth from the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, Ming Dynasty can’t imitate it yet.

Bamboo suitcases, Ming businessmen could not imitate the small amount of sheepskin tanned products on the suitcases.

For hand-operated sewing machines, Ming Dynasty cannot produce the so-called rotating bearings in the middle of the hand-operated cast iron wheels.

The clock shown this time has never been seen before.

But whether it is a bicycle or a horse-drawn carriage, its machine complexity is exponentially higher than that of a hand-operated sewing machine!

Hu Weiyong watched the carriage convoy go away, looked away, looked at the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait talking excitedly about returning to the city, and whispered: "I'm worried that the evil spirit brought back by Zhu Silang will soon become a trend in the Ming Dynasty."

Although no one dares to cut their hair.

But he was sure.

This new type of split clothing will definitely be worn by people in private first.

Listen to what the women passing by are talking about!

"Princess Yan and their women's clothes are so beautiful."

"No!"

"After I go back, I have to make a new style of clothing like Princess Yan. I can't wear it outside, but I can wear it at home. Isn't that okay?"

"That person in your family is very conservative and hates King Yan very much..."

"What are you afraid of! If we dress up nicely, these stinky men will be happy too, right?"

……

Hu Weiyong's eyes became more worried as he listened to the women's discussion.

Evil wind and evil spirit!

This evil trend is bound to start from these women and affect the entire Ming Dynasty!

I'm afraid, I'm afraid that starting from clothing, more and more people will be affected by Yan Fan's evil style and thoughts!

Especially those young people!

……

Inside the carriage.

Zhu Di looked at the cement-hardened road through the glass window, and then looked at the place where there were several plumes of thick smoke.

There should be Jinling Industrial Zone.

Zhu Xi was sliding the glass window and studying the two carriages. He accidentally caught Zhu Di's gaze and said, "Don't look at it. The Jinling Industrial Zone is just hanging there half-dead. My father has decided to let your brother-in-law, that is, Huizu, temporarily take a break from the Beijing camp and go to Jinling Industrial Zone to rectify..."

Zhu Di withdrew his gaze.

Fang Xiaoru had briefly mentioned this matter when he left.

"Big brother has transferred the technology of cement firing to private individuals. Not to mention, the price has indeed dropped..." As he spoke, Zhu Fang glanced at Zhu Xiongying, "These people rely on the gentry to build farmland and water conservancy, and use local government officials to build farmland and water conservancy." In the name of semi-mandatory, rural communities are promoted to build farmland water conservancy. Nowadays, there are indeed more and more factories that bake cement and mine fired cement ore, but the situation of workers is difficult to describe..."

Zhu Di listened carefully.

This matter, these things, the sea merchant told him after he returned.

Two years ago, it became increasingly difficult to maintain the Jinling Industrial Zone.

The eldest brother finally relented to starting a private cement factory and no longer insisted.

It does have an effect.

By squeezing workers, firing them near the mines and other innovations.

Daming's cement industry ushered in a period of expansion.

Zhu Fan took Zhu Fang's words and said: "Thanks to the Fourth Brother, your Yanfan cement products have completely withdrawn from the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, if you start to compete based on the cost of making cement, the cement factories run by these private merchants here in the imperial court will not be able to compete." They will definitely treat their hired workers like livestock..."

"Because of your withdrawal, some groups here in Ming Dynasty have been encouraged. What are they advocating? The superiority of the employee-share system is not as good as that of private individuals..."

Zhu Xiongying, who had been listening patiently, couldn't help but curiously said, "Fourth Uncle, I have been thinking about a question. If the technical conditions of a factory with a worker-share system and a private factory in Daming are the same, because of the worker-share system, If at least 40% of the profits must be distributed to employees, will they be unable to compete with private factories? Their ability to reinvest profits is obviously stronger than that of employee-owned factories."

Zhu Xiang and Zhu Fan couldn't help but glance at Zhu Xiongying in surprise.

This question is very profound and pointed!

None of them expected it.

"Impossible." Zhu Di smiled and shook his head, "Indeed, when the technical level is the same, private factories can achieve greater profitability by reducing labor costs, and with greater profits, the ability to reinvest is indeed greater."

"But you have overlooked one point, technological innovation. The technological innovation capability and innovation power of a factory with a joint-stock system of workers are far greater than that of a private factory that creates greater profits by reducing labor costs. When a factory with a joint-stock system of workers encounters difficulties, At this time, every individual among them will research and work hard for their own interests. Driven by interests, the innovation power that people can burst out is immeasurable."

Once upon a time, he had witnessed such an enterprise with his own eyes.

How to survive in adversity and reopen the situation using the method of employing workers and owning shares.

"And why our Yan Fan has been able to make breakthroughs and maintain advantages in technological innovation is actually largely due to the enthusiasm of the workers. Everyone knows that working hard and actively innovating can allow them to get more points. money."

"Private factories simply cannot give full play to people's subjective initiative, but factories that employ workers and share the ownership can stimulate people's motivation to the greatest extent."

In fact, whether it is the employee-employed shareholding system or the rural village community.

In essence, they are all similar to 'people's war'.

Whoever can mobilize people's enthusiasm, subjective initiative and creativity will ultimately win.

Yanfan's current industrial competition is not fierce yet.

Just wait and see.

When there are more and more businessmen engaged in the same category.

Want to ultimately defeat the competition.

We must find the greatest balance between balancing commodity prices and stimulating craftsmen and workers.

In the future, the owner will reduce its own equity and increase the equity of workers to stimulate the enthusiasm of hard-working workers and research-oriented craftsmen.

Defeat your opponents while giving full play to your inner momentum.

"In the final analysis, human beings are animals born for profit. The success and long-term sustainability of rural village communities and employee-shareholding systems are essentially about profit, not about big principles such as spirit and dedication."

He never thought about turning everyone into a saint.

This is impractical.

So he succeeded.

Of course, this is also due to his good external environment.

Almost all of Yan Fan's industries revolved around people's livelihood.

Basically follow the laws of industrial development, from light to heavy.

This is also the reason why he signed the contract with his eldest brother in the first place, and why he has been encouraging him to live in peace with Ming all these years.

The external environment is good.

Only then can more resources be invested in people's livelihood.

First, let the people become rich through rural communities.

Then develop it into industrial products consumed by the people.

In this way, the current good and orderly cycle of Yan Fan was formed, and the industry gradually developed towards heavy industry.

The birth of the steam engine actually marked the beginning of real heavy industry.

"Now, with the saturation of sales, the cement industry in Daming has entered a very competitive track. Now if there are new players entering the market, there are only two ways, either, high investment! Spend money and lose money. Knock out other competitors.”

"What else?" Zhu Xi couldn't help but curiously asked.

From the words of the fourth child, it is not difficult to guess that the fourth child has other methods.

Zhu Di smiled: "If you don't have strong financial strength and still want to stand out in this kind of competition, you can only change the model and establish a system of employment-related shares. People who have decision-making ability but suffer without financial support, as long as he is willing to The employee-share system is willing to give 60 to 70%, or even 70 to 80% of the shares to the workers. Even if the workers temporarily earn less, even less than those working in private cement factories, and they are tired, the workers are willing to work hard!"

……

Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Xiongying, uncle and nephew all listened very carefully.

They vaguely felt that what Lao Si said made sense.

People are indeed short-sighted.

But as long as the money is distributed, it can temporarily sustain life.

As long as they are willing to give a large number of shares to workers.

There must be many people who are struggling to fight for a tomorrow while barely meeting their current needs for survival!

"In fact, when business competition becomes infinitely fierce, only technological competition and model competition will remain in the future. For ordinary people, technological competition is unrealistic, and only model competition will remain. The model is the employee-share system!"

"If you don't believe it, find someone with a little ability, give them a fortune that can barely support the establishment of a factory, and let them set up a labor share system in the cement manufacturing industry. See, under the protection of equal rights , can we overtake and defeat private cement factories?”

"In this way, we can test the superiority of the employee-employed shareholding system."

Xiongying pursed his lips.

Would love to give it a try like this.

But he knew that the fourth uncle wanted the second uncle and the third uncle to do this.

Regarding him, the fourth uncle hoped that he would not reveal his clear attitude on his political leanings too early.

Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan also knew that Zhu Di was persuading them.

They are indeed somewhat moved.

Although, many people under their command are also opposed to this concept.

But it’s actually not difficult to operate.

Quietly find a brave and capable kid from a poor family, give them money, and let them do it.

As the vassal kings, they only need to ensure that they provide them with a fair and just environment.

Let this poor boy figure out the rest.

They don't show up, they don't interfere.

As vassal kings of a vassal land, they treat everyone equally and treat their subjects fairly and justly, which is completely reasonable.

They complied with the wishes of their subordinates and did not engage in the employment share system.

These people can't just push their noses in the face, and those who are brave should ask them to strangle them, right?

If someone dares to slap his nose and face like this, ask a vassal king to do this.

Then we should raise the butcher's knife and clean out these people.

A bit risky, but not much!

Zhu Xiang and Zhu Fan looked at each other, then smiled and said: "Okay! Let's try it quietly to verify whether your system of employment-based shares, Fourth, is really as superior as you say."

Zhu Di smiled.

Zhu Xiongying also smiled.

He already understood Fourth Uncle's deeper intention.

This is to teach him quietly.

If the second uncle and the third uncle succeed.

In the future, after he inherits the Ming Dynasty, he can use the same method to secretly select a group of loyal and capable people, and use the employee-share system to squeeze those private factories from all walks of life.

When these factories, in business competition, become more and more difficult.

To save the factory.

I’m afraid many people will take the initiative to change, right?

In fact, my fourth uncle had already done this kind of thing in Fujian.

At the beginning, a group of diehards in Fujian insisted on not establishing a shareholding system for employees.

The companies that were the first to adopt the labor share system were forced to go bankrupt and seek changes.

Of course, in the process of Fujian, Fourth Uncle used a little official power.

For example, honorary plaques can be awarded to firms that employ workers' shares.

At that time, people in Fujian liked to go to such shops with honorary plaques to buy what they needed.

In fact, pure economic competition will most likely completely defeat those die-hards.

However, the process may be longer.

Fourth uncle didn't have time at the time, so he used some power means.

……

The carriage drove into Jinling City.

Zhu Di lifted the gauze curtain and looked at the people on the street.

Putting down the curtain, he shook his head, "I have been away for a few years, and when I look at these people, they have not changed much. In fact, they have become more and more violent."

To be honest, the local protection developed later in the Ming Dynasty, the elites of local county governments monopolized local business and trade.

Almost in a thorough manner, through various overt and covert administrative means, rural village communities were prohibited from doing business in the city.

It was something he didn't expect.

He originally thought that with the establishment of rural village communities.

Even if the city follows the route of elite economy, the flow of goods will flourish rapidly.

Can local protection emerge.

On the contrary, it has caused stagflation in the flow of a large number of goods produced in rural areas.

The monopoly formed by disorderly local protection in the Ming Dynasty.

Compared with the Malacca Chen Dynasty, the kind of orderly monopoly that directly divided the interests among the retainers and elders was more negative.

At least, during the Chen Dynasty of Malacca, the people in the city only suffered a little.

However, the flow of goods has not caused stagflation due to disorderly monopoly.

These things were completely unexpected by him when he first conceived them.

Therefore, it is necessary to come back and take a closer look.

……

"Auntie!"

……

Outside Hongwu Gate.

When the children appeared in the Imperial City Square on bicycles, when Qihua saw Crown Princess Chang from a distance, she waved and shouted excitedly.

One hand holds the bicycle handle.

Zhu Yuxiu looked at it and was so frightened that she hugged Qihua tightly.

Zhu Biao and Chang's group were all surprised and stunned when they saw Qihua's group of children riding bicycles.

'Is this a bike? '

Zhu Yunwen stared closely at the bicycle Qihua was riding, and couldn't help but secretly clenched his hand.

Fang Xiaoru was not exaggerating!

There really are carts that don’t need oxen and horses to pull them.

He also particularly liked watching Zhu Qihua and Zhu Yongmingqi.

But why do good things always appear in Yan Fan? !
