At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 356: The erring official and the people who want to change their destiny
Xu Fan used his half bucket of water to start teaching the workshop owners of this world how to be qualified capitalists, teach them the laws of economics, and began to remind them of the crisis of overcapacity. If they want to survive the crisis of overcapacity, if they want to survive this crisis, It is necessary to produce more high-quality and cheaper goods at a lower cost, eliminate lagging competitors, and expand its own market.

But the workshop owners who come to attend the class can easily understand production standards and standardization of parts. After all, there are examples of Chang'an Carriage and Horse Factory's actions. Anyone who has seen a person who assembled a heavy-duty carriage in half a day will be able to understand these two things. Article has a very clear understanding.

But overcapacity is beyond the scope and beyond their three views. Based on their life experience, as long as the goods are produced, they can be sold even if they have some flaws. Don’t say that they have no experience with the fact that the goods cannot be sold. However, even their fathers and ancestors had never experienced such a thing, and the Han Dynasty had never experienced such a thing in its three thousand years of history.

It is difficult for people to imagine things that have not happened before, even if it is the emperor who asks this question.

Although they won't refute it, they don't agree with it.

Xu Fan could also see their inner thoughts, but he did not want to force changes. As long as this kind of thing has been experienced once, it will naturally change. This is the lesson that must be learned for real economic development. This lesson cannot be taught, The concepts in people's minds will not change.

Dahan's financial industry is not yet developed, let alone financial leverage. Both the court and the private sector adopted a very traditional approach to production and generating surpluses, which the court invested in infrastructure construction. The workshop owners invested this surplus into reproduction.

This development model is naturally very slow compared to the market outlook, but one advantage is that the accumulation foundation is solid and the bubbles generated are not big. After the equalization of land, the entire society is relatively fair, the people have enough accumulation, and there is still a vast overseas market. Let the big man expand.

Dahan's version is different from later generations. It was originally a simple mode. Now there is Xu Fan's plug-in, so there is no need to worry too much. Even if there is a production capacity crisis, the growth is controllable.

On the contrary, various levers and guarantees in later generations have come together in a chain of events. The bursting of bubbles in any industry will affect the entire society.

"Although we have money, we have no rights. Senior officials like you are not in charge of the government."

Zhao Shu, Wu Jun, and Zhuo Hong are all veterans of Chen County. Although they have never met each other, they got to know each other throughout the college and quickly got together and became friends who talked about everything.

Wu Jun looked at the bottle of sugar cane wine and said, "It's better for you, the factory directors, to buy a bottle of wine worth ten thousand dollars at any time. I can't afford it normally."

The three of them came to the canteen of the Government Affairs College talking and laughing.

After ordering the food, Zhuo Hong also bought a piece of sugar cane wine.

"Zhuo Hong, wait for me!" The two people quickly came to Zhuo Hong.

Now these Han officials understand that the emperor has not given up on them after entering the Government Academy, but if they are demoted to the land of princes, that is the real exile, and they are completely abandoned by the emperor.

At this time, Zhuo Hong didn't know whether to be sad or happy. The Prime Minister made a tour and found out that he, a prosperous shipyard director, had no more jobs and was transferred back to Chang'an City for training. This should have been a bad thing, but he After completing the training, he can be decentralized and serve as a county magistrate. He is the first person in the Han Dynasty to change his job from a factory director to a county magistrate.

At the same time, the workshop owners of Han Dynasty began to invite the master craftsmen of Chang'an Carriage Factory to help guide their factories on how to carry out standardized production.

This was what Xu Fan wanted to see most. He sent the first batch of 10 master craftsmen to Sanchuan County, Chen County, Nanyang County, Taiyuan County, Handan County, Julu County, Linzi County, and Guangyang County. Shu County and Jiujiang County will help them complete the promotion of standardization.

Shu sighed: "The emperor is very strict in this regard. Many old brothers have been exiled because of corruption. After much thought, it is best for me, a big man, to be a prince. I can not only have power over the government, but also be rich and powerful." "

In the past, when they came to the School of Government Affairs, they thought their future was over, but they did not expect that the emperor had not given up on them. As long as they studied well, they would re-enter the officialdom, and some would even go further.

"My name is Zhao Shu now."

After several years of rectification by the Han Dynasty, the reputation of the Government Affairs College was finally not as bad as before.

The effect of Xu Fan's business class was also very limited. As long as the workshop owners who took the class began to talk about parts standardization and production standardization, although they may not understand it, this concept was finally promoted.

Shu held up the sugar cane wine and said: "This wine was made by General Yingbu. A bottle sold for tens of thousands of dollars and the demand was still in short supply. This wine alone made General Yingbu earn hundreds of millions of dollars. It is said that the emperor even instructed him to build kilns and produce Porcelain, the porcelain produced in Britain is extremely exquisite, and the most exquisite bone china is white, delicate, transparent, and light. The richest people in the world want a set of such porcelain. "

Zhuo Hong not only has a high salary at Wuxian Shipyard, but also gets a 1% dividend every year. There are several Han officials who have higher income than him.

To a certain extent, he set a precedent. In the future, the factory directors of Han Dynasty will all thank him for opening up the connection between factory directors and Han officials.

Wu Jun beside Zhao Shu sighed: "You are so lucky that you can still come to the Government Affairs College."

Zhuo Hong smiled and said: "Tree!"

Chang'an City, Government Affairs College.

Wu Jun rolled his eyes and said: "Listening to your tone, you also want to compete with General Yingbu? He is the emperor's favorite general and is deeply favored by the emperor. How can I compare with a small soldier like me?"

Who in the Han Dynasty didn't know that the emperor favored Duke Ying and Duke Ji the most.

The British Crown established vassal states in the south. In order to allow the British Crown to quickly establish a foothold in the south, the country first allowed the British Crown to build sugar mills. After the profits of the sugar industry plummeted, the British government was instructed to create sugar cane wine.

Sugarcane wine is fragrant and delicious, and has been loved by people all over the world since it was born. Even if the price is extremely high, the supply exceeds demand. Now sugarcane wine has become the favorite wine of the nobles and wealthy businessmen of the Han Dynasty. The British public can make more than 100% profit from sugarcane wine every year. Ten thousand gold.

This year, bone china has become a luxury item again. It is expected that the income will not be much worse than that of sugarcane wine.

The Han Dynasty had hundreds of princes, but the richest was none other than the Duke of England.

Ji Guogong was not as rich as the British Duke, and he was even extremely short of money. However, in order to support Ji Guo's expansion of territory, the emperor asked the development bank to support his founding of the country. After a few years, Ji Guogong owed the development bank 10 gold, so the emperor still It is unprecedented for the development bank to continue to lend money to Duke Ji. Such favor is unprecedented.

Zhuo Hong envied: "If only the emperor had such trust in us, I wouldn't come to Chang'an to study."

Wu Jun rolled his eyes and said, "It's not like you Han officials in Kuaiji County are asking for trouble."

"The imperial court originally found the Spice Island and left you with 5% of the tax, so you should be enjoying yourself secretly. However, the arrogant idiot actually wanted to build a cement road. I didn't know that the emperor also wanted to build a cement road. But after calculating the price, it was five times more expensive than the track, so I had to give up.”

"Okay! What the emperor can't do, but you guys want to do it. You Kuaiji County is jumping like this. If you don't deal with it, who will deal with it?"

There were no crushers in this era, and the manufacturing cost of cement was extremely high. A bag of 200 kilograms of cement cost yuan. To really lay a cement road with high standards, one mile would cost millions of yuan. So Xu Fan calculated, The money is better spent building more tracks.

Zhuo Hong explained: "It's not because it's rainy in Kuaiji County, and the tracks are prone to rot. We think cement roads are more suitable for our Kuaiji County than tracks."

Zhao Shu said with envy: "Indeed, your Kuaiji County is both whales, fish, and spices. You have taken advantage of all the good things in the world. But inland counties like us, who want to do something, are stumped by money." Heroic man."

Zhuo Hong immediately said: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have said this."

Then Zhuo Hong asked curiously: "What mistakes did the two brothers make?"

The Han officials who studied in the Government Affairs College basically made mistakes, but their mistakes were due to lack of ability rather than selfish motives. They were only Han officials who could be saved and studied here. Zhao Shu said aggrievedly: "When I was a county lieutenant, in order to find some means to catch criminals and maintain local security, I convicted some restless rangers. As a result, I was convicted of violating the law and came here to learn Han law." . But these methods used by a certain person are all traditional. Why should I be the only one who is doing this?”

It was very difficult for bureaucrats in the feudal era to abide by the law.

This is considered a good thing for Zhao Shu. At least he used the means to arrest the prisoner. However, many people use their rights to deliberately create unjust, false and wrong cases to retaliate against their enemies.

At the same time, the investigation methods of this era are too backward. If ordinary people have little experience in committing crimes, Han officials like Zhao Shu can still find evidence of crimes. What they are most afraid of are the rangers who have committed crimes. They are really experienced. You The investigative methods of the era really couldn't find any evidence of them.

But the case must be solved, otherwise the impact on society will be too bad. At this time, according to the tradition of the local government, some notorious rangers will be arrested in the local area to take the blame. In many cases, the wrong ranger is even arrested. Real criminal.

But most of these prisoners were still unjustly accused, so in the feudal era there were often things like amnesty for the whole country, because everyone from the emperor to the civil and military officials knew that the vast majority of prisoners in prison were unjustly accused, and pardoning them could bring peace of mind. The world’s resentment.

Therefore, for many things, the experience of later generations cannot be used to apply the rules of the feudal era, otherwise it will appear that the Amnesty World is not accumulating merit, but committing sin.

If you think that everyone in the feudal era was Bao Qingtian, then Bao Qingtian would not have been praised for thousands of years. Ninety percent of feudal bureaucrats don't care whether you are innocent or not. He just wants to settle this case as soon as possible and not to be involved in his promotion and wealth.

That's why the Amnesty for the World lasted throughout the two thousand years of the feudal dynasty. To paraphrase a later saying, those who wronged you know your innocence better than you do.

But Xu Fan couldn't bear it. Most of the prisoners in his Han prison were innocent people, so he called people with criminal investigation experience from all over the world to Chang'an City to give lectures to Han officials like Zhao Shu and teach them their criminal investigation experience. At the same time, Xu Fan asked these people to transfer his criminal investigation experience to them. Experiences are written into a book. In the Song Dynasty, there was a book called "The Record of Cleansing Wrongs" that talked about various detection cases.

Although the Han Dynasty did not have Song Ci, he could find dozens of senior officials to sum up their experience.

And county lieutenants like Zhao Shu came to Chang'an City to learn new criminal investigation experience.

Then Wu Jun said, "It's much simpler for me. I think the potential of sea trade is much greater than agriculture. The price of food in Julu County has dropped to 30 yuan last year. How can we build canals and waterwheels? Food." If this continues, the people of Julu County will be unable to do anything but have enough to eat. So a certain person used the money allocated by the court to build aqueducts to build cement piers and buy some fishing boats, intending to also develop a fishery specialty. "

Wu Jun smiled bitterly and said: "Then the court found out and the court dismissed someone for embezzling public funds."

Zhuo Hong gave Wu Jun a thumbs up and said, "I admire you!"

If this crime is not punished, Xiang's head will not be saved. Now that Wu Jun is still in Chang'an City, Zhuo Hong has to admire him.

Sure enough, there is no one in the Government Affairs College who has not committed a crime.

December 26, the seventh year of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an City, Zhaoli.

"Master Zhao is going to class?" the villagers in Zhaoli asked respectfully.

Fusu nodded and said: "Your boy Zhao Wu can already recite the Analects of Confucius, read through the Four Books and Five Classics, and "Basic Arithmetic" is also good. Among our Zhao Li children, he is considered talented, but if he wants to improve his knowledge, he will have to go to Chang'an. Go to high school to study, and then you can go to major colleges in Han Dynasty. After graduating from the college, the scholars have a high probability of becoming Han officials. Even if they don't succeed, they still have skills. If they can, they won't be rich in the future, but at least they will be able to live a good life. It’s better than here in Zhaoli.”

Mr. Zhao Wu asked hesitantly: "Going to Chang'an to study?"

Five years ago, he wouldn't have dared to think of this.

Fusu said: "Someone asked, if you board in a high school in Chang'an, it will cost about 5000 per year. The cost of studying is not much. The key is that food and accommodation in Chang'an are not cheap. Fortunately, our Zhaoli is not far from Chang'an City, so we can go back during holidays." Home, you can save a lot of money.”

Although it is not compulsory education for the Han Dynasty, Xu Fan tried his best to make it easier for ordinary people to study. However, no matter how much money was saved, the money for pens, ink, paper and inkstones was still indispensable. If students studied abroad, they would have to pay for food. Therefore, relatively speaking, the primary school in this village does not cost much, but the cost of attending high school is not small.

Mr. Zhao Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Since this kid has a lot of potential, I definitely can't delay him. This money will be paid out."

In the past, he wouldn't even think about it because he couldn't get it out at all, but this year he gritted his teeth and could really get the money out.

This year can be said to be the year of great explosion in Zhaoli. Income from agriculture, breeding, and textile industries has skyrocketed. The income of each household in Zhaoli has exceeded 10,000 yuan. It can be said that this is unprecedented.

The first was the explosion of agriculture. The land in Zhaoli was already fertile, and then ditches were built and farmyard manure was used. Under Fusu's guidance, various efficient agricultural production techniques and soybean rotation techniques were used to increase fertilizer.

After three consecutive years of bumper harvests in Zhaoli, the yield per mu exceeded 3 kilograms. The people in Zhaoli almost went from starving to death in a few years, to being able to eat all they want, to being able to eat three meals a day, and to being wealthy this year. Families can eat meat every few days.

Now the grain stored in various private warehouses in Zhaoli exceeds 3 dan, which is enough for everyone to eat for three years and still have a surplus.

Comparing the efforts of the next two generations, we can only say that it is a simple copy, which has no difficulty in solving the problem of enough food.

After the people in Zhaoli experienced a year of running out of food no matter how much they ate, and even being unable to stock their own granaries, the people in Zhaoli finally gave up the idea that they would starve to death.

This year, the planting area of ​​cash crops has been expanded. Now the people in Zhao Li basically grow half of the grain and half of various cash crops. The cash crops of mulberry, hemp and vegetables have brought huge profits to Zhao Li, allowing them to grow this year. Income exceeded 10,000 yuan.

The people of Zhaoli paid off the construction costs of building canals this year, and also raised funds to purchase an oil press. The soybeans in the fertile land can be used to refine oil. Since the emergence of cooking in Chang'an City, the demand for various oils has been in short supply. in the state.

The breeding industry in Zhaoli is also developing very fast. Fusu teamed up with the people of Zhaoli to open a breeding farm. Zhaoli mastered the technology of hatching poultry, and the number of various poultry increased sharply. Zhaoli even chartered a hilltop for use. To specialize in raising these poultry. These poultry can provide a monthly income of 5 to 6 yuan, and each household in Zhaoli can receive about 500 yuan a month.

Now the people in Zhaoli are willing to feed their children chickens and ducks to avoid being abducted because they cannot eat meat. The lesson Hu Hai taught Zhao Li was too profound.

The textile industry has become Zhao Li's pillar industry, with profits this year exceeding one million yuan.

At this time, Changjiang Tao showed his courage and did not distribute all the money as dividends. Instead, he used half of the income to order 5 new spinning wheels and 25 looms to continue to expand production capacity.

Now these machines have officially entered the Zhaoli Textile Factory, and equipment assembly and debugging have begun. Zhaoli's textile factory has expanded by one-third.

The explosion of the three major industries has made the people in Zhaoli generally rich. Now the people in Zhaoli have generally built cement buildings, which looks like a rural area in later generations. This is why Zhao Wu wants to continue to provide education for his children.

Since his family was wealthy, he naturally could not let his boy continue to be a farmer. Studying was the best opportunity he could think of to change his boy's destiny.

Zhao Wu thought for a while and said: "Master Zhao, a certain farmer is unclear about the affairs of Chang'an City. I will leave it to you while Zhao Wu is studying."

Fusu said: "As Zhao Wu's wife, I will naturally help him find a good school."

After the exchange between the two, Fusu went to find other families. He had been a master in Zhaoli for almost 4 years. The first batch of students had reached the age of graduation and were going to study in higher institutions. He taught and educated people, naturally. I want to see my disciples succeed in their studies.
