Chapter 327

"Hey, your master is still very good. He hit the point in one sentence. It's right to promote the New Deal, and it's right to build more factories, but you can't just build them if you want. You have to have a plan.

If you see something that makes money, you will swarm on it and work hard to produce it. The result will definitely be the same as what Zi Xian said, and you will catch all the money. When the time comes there will be no fish in the water, and whoever has more fishing nets will pay heavily.

Some people may say that investment and construction of factories are all made with the money of the powerful gentry. Anyway, they will not take out the money to distribute to the people, let alone the court. It is better to use it to build factories, which can still benefit the people and the court. Get some benefits.

On the surface, this seems to be the case, and the people and the court will indeed benefit in the short term. But in the long run, it is not only useless but also harmful. The first is waste. No matter what factory you open, you will consume resources, that is, trees, coal, iron ore, copper ore, water, etc.

In addition to being a gift from God, they also have the property that they cannot be regenerated in a short period of time. Once a tree is cut down, it will take at least ten or even decades before it will grow into a tree again; after a coal, iron, and copper mine is dug, it may take several lifetimes before it can grow again.

If all the non-renewable resources are used up in our generation, what will the next generation and the generations after that use? So for the sake of our future generations, we must not squander it carelessly.

Take the construction of factories as an example. It is not impossible for the imperial court to plan the number and types of factories in advance. It is the job of the courtiers to waste their brains, but what they get in return is steady flow and steady development, which is not a loss no matter what.

But I can't force the courtiers to do this work. It's useless to press the head of a cow that doesn't drink water. But there is a way to prevent their factories from being built or they must be built according to my plan. The key is your machinery factory and foundry.

Looking at the Ming Dynasty, there is only one company that can produce lathes, drilling machines, and forging hammer equipment. As officials of the Ministry of Industry, you also have the responsibility to participate in formulating the factory plan.

However, in order to prevent another fight between North Korea and China, this work can only be carried out secretly first, such as using output and training progress to slow down the preparation speed of some factories and shorten the production cycle of other factories.

Let me tell you the truth, I should have been responsible for these tasks, but the burden on my shoulders is a bit heavy, and it is easy to focus on one thing at the expense of the other, so I have to share some of it with you two, and I am not allowed to refuse.

Be mentally prepared. In the next few years, you two, the master and the apprentice, may be the target of public criticism. You will be slandered and impeached by your colleagues all the time, and your lives may even be in danger.

The good news is that you are not the only ones who are also unlucky. Li Zhizao, Zhao Shizhen and others will soon follow suit. Li Zhi, Yuan Keli, Yuan Yingtai and others were already in dire straits. "

In fact, Hong Tao already knew the situation in the machinery factory. As long as he said hello to Ye Xianggao and asked Wang An to visit some officials in private to give hints, Xu Guangqi and Wang Zheng would be relieved of [-]% to [-]% of the pressure.

But they never did it, and just watched them struggling without saying a word or expressing their opinions. It was not until they couldn't bear it that they asked for resignation, and then they were summoned to the harem for face-to-face training. Isn't it a little too late?

How to put it, according to Hong Tao's theory, it's not too late at all. He advocates the education of setbacks and believes that no matter who you are, you must suffer torture if you want to succeed. The more painful it is, the more you temper your will and character, and the deeper you will remember it.

What to do if you can't bear it anymore and get crushed? Two words, choice. This test is not only a test for your subordinates, but also an exercise for yourself. Those who can pass are the ones who are useful. Those who cannot pass indicate that the personality defects are too serious, and no matter how good the talent is, it cannot be reused. In the future, the stalls will become bigger and bigger, and they must have the ability to stand alone. They will no longer have the energy and ability to do everything themselves. Compared with the current test, the pressure in the future will be greater and the situation will be more thrilling. Those who cannot pass this level will have no choice but to give up.

"...I would like to follow the example of Governor Li and Governor Yuan, and do everything for His Majesty to do the New Deal!" At this point, Wang Zheng should have heard something of the meaning even if he was still confused. He happened to still hold the wine bowl in his hand, so he drank it all with his head raised, and then made a bow to show his attitude.

Li Zhi and Yuan Keli are already synonymous with the New Deal in the court. Although they have mixed reviews, they are famous for a while. If nothing serious happens, they will definitely have to be written heavily in the history books in the future. When I think of being able to sit on an equal footing with these two feudal officials, the young people must be more hopeful than fearful.

"Does your Majesty have any clever tips for your ministers to review?" Xu Guangqi also understood, but was not so excited.

He had already understood his own fate. Even if the emperor didn't tell him, he could only move forward like Li Zhi, with no way out. So it’s not important to take a stance at this moment, it’s what you do next that matters. According to past experience, the emperor must have already had a countermeasure in his mind, and it would be useless if he didn't use it.

"Two points! First, expand the machinery factory immediately. First, you can shut their mouths. Second, we must prepare the ground for the establishment of a separate ordnance factory in terms of personnel and space. Not only must it be built, but it must be built in a big way. Production capacity must be increased at least five times to qualify!

Second, open a mechanical school to recruit students from outside, starting from the most basic algebraic geometry. Anyone who is literate and has a clean financial background can enroll in the school if they pass the exam, and all boarding, lodging, and tuition fees are free of charge.

The training for personnel in various factories is also taught in the mechanical school. Each person will be charged a certain fee as appropriate. You can calculate the amount yourself, whichever can make up for the shortfalls of other students.

You must calculate this cost and leave a margin. Apart from the first payment for the establishment of the school, I will not pay another tael of money for the school. Supporting the school with education is the tip I give you.

Don't frown, as long as you use your brain more, the money for running the school will come very easily. For example, if the equipment in some factories breaks down, can we only contact Haihe Machinery Factory for repairs? That also has to be charged! Every set of equipment sold is equivalent to planting a money tree. This is called after-sales service, and it is not free!

For another example, students who graduate from mechanical schools can be directly recommended to factories in various places as technicians. However, any factory that wants these people has to pay a tuition fee in advance. This is not called buying and selling people, it is called training on behalf of others. The meaning of training on behalf of others is both reasonable and reasonable. "

Now that Xu Guangqi has figured out the context and can no longer sell it off, he must have some clever tips, and they must come in pairs. Not only do we need to solve immediate needs, but we also need to pave the way for the future while digging a big hole.

Aren't you always thinking about harming me? If it works, I'll let you spend money to train more gravediggers. In less than ten years, the skilled workers who have graduated from Haihe Mechanical School will dig up your ancestral graves cleanly!
