Chapter 611 River Administration Construction (1)

Standardized flow production is the biggest difference between the agricultural economy and the industrial economy. Under the intervention of Emperor Chongzhen, some areas in the Ming Dynasty are moving towards the road of primitive industrialization.

Perhaps this primitive industrialization was uneven and unreasonable, but the emergence of this form promoted corresponding changes in the Ming Dynasty.

Just like the production of a 'self-generated fire gun', the cost in the Ming Dynasty could be controlled at 1 tael of silver, but in Jianlu, the cost might be 2 taels or even 3 taels.

This is the result of the industrial gap.

Although in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, the existing standardized assembly line production in Ming Dynasty was still very backward. Most of it was still mainly manual work, and a very small part was supplemented by equipment. However, even so, it was far beyond that of Jianlu

The small workshop production model being established.

Once the gap between the two sides is formed, as long as the dominant side does not take the initiative to make strategic mistakes, as time goes by and settles, the gap will become wider and wider, and by that time, the war will evolve into a one-sided situation.

"Recently, the proportion of gunpowder dumped by Tianjin's military industry to Liaodi has increased by over 50% compared to the past."

Emperor Chongzhen flipped through the memorials, frowned and said to Wang Chengen: "Send someone to the military aircraft office to ask about the summary of the war situation in Liaoning and see if there is any progress in southern Liaoning."

"My slave obeys the order!"

Wang Chengen immediately bowed his head.

Although the corresponding authority for the arms dumping in Liao and the arms race against Jianlu were transferred to Tianjin to enhance Tianjin's development activity, Tianjin had to submit secret reports regularly so that Emperor Chongzhen could understand the corresponding changes and then adjust them.

Domain strategy.

If arms dumping and arms racing can be carried out well, it will be far more practical than having to kill many soldiers on the battlefield to win the corresponding battle situation.

"In addition, I will send someone to Xishan. I will prepare the Military Preparation Institute and plan to build a military industry in the Fangshan area." Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said.

"However, when it comes to security, confidentiality and other aspects, we must strictly refer to Xishan's model and there is no possibility of leakage.

Especially the new gun industry line, which is the top secret of the Ming Dynasty and involves the big battle planned in the future. If you dare to leak it at all, no matter who is involved, the Yi tribe!"

"My slave obeys the order."

Wang Chengen paid his respects again.

As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, if he can effectively get rid of the shackles of "controlling the proportion of financial power", he can mobilize all the resources to devote himself to the development of a certain field. This is something that no one has under the rule of Ming Dynasty.

Privilege, this is also the great righteousness of the emperor.

Relying on the solid foundation accumulated in the past, Emperor Chongzhen did not have to worry about money. This also gave Emperor Chongzhen an advantage in some areas involving national defense and security.

Looking at Wang Chengen's leaving figure, Emperor Chongzhen showed a slight smile on his face. Compared with the passive situation at the beginning, the active advantage he now occupies is too obvious.

Especially the recent changes in the court and the turmoil in the court did not affect the operation of Ming Dynasty at all, which also made him more determined to follow the path of primitive industrialization.

"Your Majesty, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Governor He Daonan Juyi would like to see you." The eunuch Cao Huachun, the eunuch in charge of rituals, Bingbi, hurried into the palace and bowed respectfully.

"Xuan."

Emperor Chongzhen’s words were concise and concise.

River governance is a problem that Ming Dynasty must face head-on. Whether it is a place of stability or development, if the governance of river politics in Ming Dynasty goes from good to bad, it will delay the development of Ming Dynasty.

Nan Juyi walked into the palace, followed by more than a dozen eunuchs from the inner court, holding a large pile of maps and documents, which made Emperor Chongzhen stand up immediately.

"It's all spread out on the floor."

Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said: "Nan Qing, how are the several river patrol yamen established now summarizing the areas under their respective jurisdictions, the exploration of river beds, river channels, etc.?"

"Your Majesty, we have basically summarized everything clearly."

Nan Juyi bowed his hands and said: "Under the rule of the northern provinces of the Ming Dynasty, we have set up several river governor's offices. With the cooperation of local disaster relief agencies, great progress has been made.

Many things that were pushed back in the past have been implemented accordingly, including many changes in the location of the river bed, all of which have been clarified accordingly..."

Emperor Chongzhen’s face smiled more.

The complexity and variability of river governance are beyond ordinary people's imagination, and the levels involved, especially on the local government side, are even greater.

The management of major water bodies such as the Yellow River, canals, and Huaihe River involves not one province, but multiple provinces, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of governance.

Listening to Nan Juyi's explanation of the situation, he watched a dozen eunuchs from the inner court kneeling on the ground piecing together maps one after another. Emperor Chongzhen looked at the distribution of the waters above.

"The management of river politics is a holistic and coordinated management process."

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said with a serious expression: "Just like in the past, if you have a headache, you can treat your head and your feet, no matter how much money you throw in, 10 million taels or 20 million taels, when it is time to flood, there will still be flooding.

When the embankment breaks, the embankment will still break.

After all, out of the sight of the court, most of the money spent on river management went into private pockets, becoming stolen money for some corrupt officials who were content to enjoy themselves.

The situation would be different if the corresponding powers of river management were centralized and assigned to specific government agencies based on the distribution of water areas, and local governments along the way were allowed to assist."

Nan Juyi nodded and responded: "It is indeed such a situation. In the past, the imperial court set up a separate main river to manage river affairs across the country. In many cases, it could not be managed at all.

The main water area we are responsible for is the Yellow River water area. After all, once the Yellow River floods, it will affect many places.

As for the canals, Huaihe River and other water bodies, most of them are concentrated in the hands of governors and governors in various places. The decentralization of river management authority and everyone's ideas are different, which will lead to many differences.

But now it's different.

The management of the Yellow River waters is the responsibility of the Yellow River Governor's Yamen.

The governance of the Huaihe River waters is the responsibility of the Huaihe River Governor’s Yamen.

The canal governor's office is responsible for managing the canal waters.

If there are any matters that need coordination and discussion among these river control governors' yamen, they can refer to the river control outline and conduct corresponding meetings and discussions."

Talents in river administration were the most in short supply and the most important thing in all dynasties, because unclear river administration would shake the foundation of rule, which also made Emperor Chongzhen pay special attention to this matter.

Since the end of the second year of Chongzhen, the river administration training mechanism has been actively preparing to screen and train talents. This has also gradually enriched the river governance and governor's yamen in various places.
