Chapter 354: The Great Explosion of Productivity
An industrial revolution is already ready in Northern Zhili. Since the high-pressure steam engine became famous, the first spinning machine using high-pressure steam engine as power was finally manufactured at the end of the seventh year of the Apocalypse.&1t;/p>
When the steam engine roars, a thousand spindles rotate together, the efficiency is simply amazing. Although the spinning machine using the steam engine as the power requires coal burning, the workers who maintain the operation of the machinery have greatly reduced, and in fact the cost has decreased.&1t;/p>
The most important thing is that the steam engine can start construction 24 hours a year, without being restricted by seasonal changes or location restrictions.&1t;/p>
The state-owned textile factory in Tianjin Industrial Zone took the lead in updating the equipment. So in this winter, the spindles rotated and the efficiency was amazingly fast.&1t;/p>
Because a lot of cotton is stored in the warehouse in winter, these state-owned textile factories that have replaced new equipment are about to start production for 18 hours a day. Only four hours from 1 o'clock to 2 a.m. to shut down maintenance equipment. At the same time, this period of time allows workers to stay up late, which will cause greater damage to workers' bodies. 11 o'clock to 1 a.m. is the most critical sleep time. If you don't sleep during this period, your mind will be spinning the next day, because the human body can only turn on the innate system when sleeping during this period, and heart fire and kidney water can intersect. Other periods of sleep are in the acquired system.&1t;/p>
Although state-owned capital consortiums pursue benefits, workers' health must also be considered. It is just that time period can be used to maintain equipment and avoid accidents. The factory management has received the above documents, and accidents will be held accountable. These factory management would rather make less money than keep safety in mind and keep the steam engine maintenance process very strictly.&1t;/p>
But this benefit is really terrifying.&1t;/p>
After changing to new equipment, the efficiency is simply unimaginable. Now, a spinning machine driven by a steam engine is used to produce cotton yarn. The production efficiency of a worker is higher than that of a hundred workers before.&1t;/p>
Two shifts a day. One shift produces ten hours and one shift produces eight hours. After sixteen hours, the profit is definitely magnificent.&1t;/p>
For this reason, the textile factory doubled the wages of the workers, and the workers in the entire factory were immediately full of energy.&1t;/p>
The cost of these cotton yarns produced is so low. When it comes to the market, the price competitiveness is definitely a flash sale. No cotton yarn on the market can compete with it.&1t;/p>
At the same time, the first high-efficiency loom has finally been released, which has directly increased the weaving efficiency by 40 times. Compared with the loom used by the factory owners of Jiangnan, the efficiency has also increased by nearly 10 times.&1t;/p>
After using new looms and spinning machines, the cost of cotton cloth has dropped by nearly half. With the emergence of chemical dyes, the cost of dyeing cloth has dropped by more than half.&1t;/p>
You can make money by closing your eyes, and who doesn’t want to wear clothes or cotton?&1t;/p>
With such strong competitiveness, not only the Ming Dynasty's textile market can monopolize, but even monopolize the textile market around the world.&1t;/p>
What a huge profit?&1t;/p>
Driven by such huge profits, the state-owned capital consortium began to expand its textile production capacity frantically. If the use of hydraulic textile machinery to compete with Jiangnan factory owners in the past could not completely defeat their opponents, now those Jiangnan textile factory owners are vulnerable in front of the state-owned capital consortium.&1t;/p>
The only problem now is the degree of manufacturing of steam engines and the degree of factory construction.&1t;/p>
"Immediately let the machinery manufacturer make all the steam engines, and we will also hurry up the construction of the factory buildings below. We must seize the time and try our best to increase the production capacity." Yang Guorui immediately ordered the following: "In addition, we can buy as much cotton as there is on the market. It doesn't matter if the price is higher."&1t;/p>
"Yes, sir."&1t;/p>
The key to developing industry is to do it, especially light industry. It requires faster time to make money.&1t;/p>
…&1t;/p>
It is the end of the year in a blink of an eye. After this year, all departments have begun to summarize their work, and the court has also begun to be busy with the fiscal budget for the coming year.&1t;/p>
The economy is prosperous in the seventh year of the Apocalypse. Agriculture is stable, the scale of marine trade continues to expand, and the situation is positive.&1t;/p>
All departments reported fiscal revenues from the seventh year of the Apocalypse.&1t;/p>
Commercial tax and personal income tax, customs import and export tax combined to 150 million, salt tax of 260,000, agricultural tax of 430,000, and state-owned enterprises pay dividends of 330,000. State-owned assets are sold at 60,000,000, seigniorage tax is 50,000, and total fiscal revenue is 360,000. Compared with the 350 million fiscal expenditure last year, the surplus is 10,000 yuan.&1t;/p>
Last year, I threw 50,000 yuan upwards. I didn’t expect there was still a surplus, which shocked the court officials again.&1t;/p>
"This new policy is really overbearing, and this fiscal growth is simply incomprehensible."&1t;/p>
"Yes! In just a few years, fiscal revenue has increased by nearly ten times, and after the implementation of the new policy, no one has starved to death." [$].org&1t;/p>
The facts are right before us, and the Han Emperor Party officials' attitude towards reform is even more firm. Compared with when Zhu Youxiao first ascended the throne, fiscal revenue has increased tenfold. Such terrifying growth is, on the one hand, productivity has increased, resources have increased, and production scale has expanded.&1t;/p>
The most important thing is that merchants, gentry cannot be exempted from taxes. Those privileged classes pay all taxes at this time, and it is difficult for them to not increase their fiscal revenue.&1t;/p>
Jiang Dejing, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and Minister of the Coordination Department, was in the Qianqing Palace at this time, reporting his calculation results to Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>
"According to the latest statistics, the number of Han people in the new policy area has reached 98.65 million, nearly 100 million. At the same time, there are more than 20,000 people in the South Ocean and other populations. Based on the current production of commercial grain in various places, it can feed nearly 75,000 people away from agriculture. According to the current industrial data, there are still nearly 15,000 young and strong jobs that need investment and construction funds to be driven by investment and require about 1.2 billion yuan. If the fiscal budget continues to be sold up to 500,000 yuan and 100 million yuan of seigniorage tax, the fiscal budget can reach 500 million yuan, of which 300 million yuan can be used for various construction activities, and there is still a gap of 900 million yuan to supplement commercial investment." After Jiang Dejing's calculation, he came up with a huge investment scale.&1t;/p>
Then Jiang Dejing continued: "If we follow this plan, we will have an investment of 900 million yuan. This year the profit of the state-owned capital consortium is 330 million yuan, and the commercial investment in private capital is estimated to exceed 100 million yuan, and there is still a gap of nearly 500 million yuan. We can use bank loans to lend money to the state-owned capital consortium and local governments to build."&1t;/p>
"With such an investment, is it really enough?" Zhu Youxiao asked with some concern: "What if the agriculture is affected next year?"&1t;/p>
"Grain should be enough. After all, this is the result calculated based on this year's grain output. The scale of commercial grain production next year will grow rapidly, and the scale of fishery fishing will also increase. Even if agriculture is affected next year, more grain will be produced." Jiang Dejing said: "And some laborers are half-agricultural and semi-laboratory types. In fact, this plan is still relatively conservative."&1t;/p>
