At this stage, in the field of production, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, most of them were small workshops, and they had not even found the initial stage of large-scale production.

The accumulation of capital and the expansion of scale all require time to settle.

Perhaps one generation, perhaps two generations, or perhaps longer, after all, development also pays attention to historical periodicity, and objective facts cannot be ignored or changed.

If you want to change the situation in Ming Dynasty, you must adjust the production model, and evolve from a single land production in the past to a diversified production mode to solve the needs of most groups without land.

"The emperor, the father-in-law and the others are here."

Wang Chengen lowered his head and walked into the East Warehouse Pavilion, bowed and said.

"Prince."

Emperor Chongzhen was concise and concise.

Under the rule of Shanxi, Beizhili and Shandong, the overall concept of recruiting workers was clarified, so that the disaster relief administrations in the three places gathered the groups of refugees under their rule, and achieved the reunion of refugees under their respective rule in the name of rectifying water conservancy and renovating the roads.

, which means that Emperor Chongzhen is going to take action to revitalize real industry and commerce.

"My memory... Zhou Kui, pay homage to Your Majesty."

"I, please pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Caomin, please pay homage to Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen sat firmly on the dragon throne and looked at the more than ten people standing in front of him. Except for Zhou Kui, who was calm, the rest of the people were all very nervous.

These people are the managers of the Sichuan and Hai General Association, and the imperial merchants selected after screening.

It is unimaginable for them to come to the palace to meet the emperor.

Of course, these people are just representatives, and there are many people who are not qualified to enter the Forbidden City.

"No gift."

Emperor Chongzhen looked calm and looked at Zhou Kui and the others and said, "In the past year, Huitongbao No. and Sichuan and Hai Zonghe have developed rapidly.

They are all in the northern Zhili and the two places in front of Liao, and have achieved coverage of prefectures, prefectures, counties and garrisons, which is beyond my expectations.

I summoned you into the palace today to talk about building a factory. Just so happened that several imperial merchant representatives approved by the internal factory also entered the palace.

The court recently planned to gather the refugees under its rule in Shanxi, northern Zhili and Shandong, and in the name of rectifying water conservancy and renovating the roads, so that these refugees can adapt to the new environment of distribution according to work in advance."

Zhang Jinzhong, Lu Yongbao, Yue Qingzhang, Sheng Yingwu, the managers of the Sichuan and Sea Association, Liu Jiang'an, Xia Liangyu, Qin Zhihong, and Kou Xiliang, all approved imperial merchants, without exception, all of them were secretly pondering them in their hearts, and some brilliance flashed through their eyes.

.

Emperor Chongzhen rectified the imperial farms in Zhili, in addition to raising orphans and widows, diverting the victims, and contracting most of the land under his jurisdiction to these groups to plant, under the rule of these imperial farms, a batch of large-scale production was also planned to be built one after another under the rule of these imperial farms.

factory.

Spinning mills, weaving factories, garment factories, iron factories, salt factories, coal factories, glass factories, shipbuilding factories...

There are many industrial fields involved. Relying on the advantage of resource concentration, under the coordinated development of the internal factories, many systems conceived by Emperor Chongzhen, including distribution according to work, training and promotion mechanisms, have been implemented one by one, realizing non-steam

The flow operation of the times is the most primitive factory model.

The production model of the above-mentioned factories implements assembly line operations and is promoted by pure manual production. This alone is enough to surpass the many industries produced by small workshops under the Meiji Dynasty.

The batch of factories built in imperial villages in various places have been continuously increased after more than a year of running-in production, and the production is encouraged by more work and more gains, which can be considered as the cultivation of large-scale industrial workers.

Emperor Chongzhen also knew in his heart that it would be absolutely impossible to achieve the first industrial revolution in the Ming Dynasty without decades of accumulation and precipitation.

Whether his generation can see the steam engine is hard to say, but as long as the foundation is firm enough, I believe that the Great Ming Dynasty will definitely see it in the future.

The foundation that needs to be firmly established is the development of primitive industrialization, that is, industrialization before industrialization!

The West developed primitive industrialization for about 300 years, and during this period, bloody accumulations such as sheep cannibalism, great voyage expansion, slave trade, colonial rule, war plunder, etc.

The Ming Dynasty wanted to reverse the dilemma and avoid the overturn of the country. Emperor Chongzhen thought about it before and after thinking about it, only by following the development of primitive industrialization and continuously improving productivity could it be possible to bring the deviant road back to the right track, and gradually complete self-innovation and go along with sea and land.

New road.

"With the various products mass-produced by the factories built by the Huangzhuang, I have found that large-scale production can help the court, the local government and solve many practical problems."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon throne and spoke, "So I plan to focus on the Sichuan and Sea Association and supplement the Huitong number.

Through special technology sales and special loan support, the Sichuan-Hai Federation and you royal merchants have opened a number of official factories in Shanxi, Zhili and Shandong.

With this name, you can avoid being troubled locally.

With this name, it can only develop locally.

Wang, let them take a look at the charter I have drawn up. Stay behind the Huitong number and the people from the Sichuan and Hai General Association, and everyone else will step back first."

"Sister obeys the order."

Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed.

The imperial merchants such as Liu Jiang'an, Xia Liangyu, Qin Zhihong, and Kou Xiliang showed some tension on the surface, but they thought about it secretly.

Who doesn’t know that many of the goods sold to the outside world are directly transferred and dumped from factories built by imperial curriculums in various places.

Such as cotton cloth, coal stove, glassware, glass mirror, soap, etc., each has corresponding specifications for different groups with different needs.

Especially for cement, steel, iron and other industrial commodities involving infrastructure and military industries, they are definitely hot-selling and there is no need to worry about selling them at all.

After all, the construction of Chidao in Zhili and the military industry under the rule of Xishan have been digested internally.

Cultivating and supporting upstream and downstream industries is what Emperor Chongzhen has been doing.

With the scientific research core of the Wubei Academy, the steam engine cannot be developed, but as long as there is enough silver to be given, Emperor Chongzhen doesn’t think it is difficult.

Once these hatched seeds are sown everywhere, they will inevitably thrive. By that time, earth-shaking changes will occur in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, another group of factory owners will also be created.

"The development of the remittance number is indeed good, but this is far from enough."

Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon throne and reached out to Zhou Kui and said, "I think it's time to release the talents I have trained before.

In the following three years, I wanted to remit bill numbers in Shanxi, Shandong, Henan and other places, and successively opened bill numbers at all levels and formed an effective supervision system.

In addition, Huitong bill number must be formulated in Shanxi, Northern Zhili and Shandong, and a batch of special loan amounts with a large share must be used specifically for industrial and commercial loans. These specific details shall be handled by Huitong bill number.

Procurement will be carried out and submitted to Yu as soon as possible.”
