Chapter 1047 - Songjiang Mansion Wants to Focus on Development (2)

（1047）

[Today's second update is delivered! ] 】

Zhang Zhun slowly encouraged and said, "Lao Liu, don't be afraid! A lot of people isn't a bad thing! There is a lot of power in numbers! Without people, where is the production of cotton silk silk and satin? The key is, to be precise, that we have to make the relevant regulations ourselves to prevent problems before they happen. As long as we do it ourselves, we don't need to worry. ”

"In fact, even if we have a clear rule ourselves, what is the use of not exceeding the number of employees? As long as there is profit, as long as there is a need, they are not secretly recruiting hired workers? In the past, how many employees was required in the imperial court? No more than eight people! In fact, there are more than 800 people in Matsue Prefecture! ”

"Instead of operating secretly, secretly causing more incidents, causing corruption, and causing officials to sink, it is better to put them on the table to discuss and solve. In this world, there is no problem that cannot be solved, the key is whether we want to solve it or not. ”

Liu Guangxin hurriedly said: "Please also ask Lord Governor for advice." ”

Zhang Zhun nodded, and said slowly: "You find a few knife and pen officials, I will stay with you for a few days, and I will tell you in detail." Also, all the officials at and above the county level in Songjiang Prefecture will be gathered, and I will have something to say to them. ”

Liu Guangxin was overjoyed, hurriedly agreed to go, and turned around to find someone.

Zhang Zhun's way of doing things is really too considerate. He not only asked questions, but also attached answers to them, so that his subordinates would not be very embarrassed. In the case of Songjiang Mansion, only Zhang Zhun has such power and courage to completely overturn the previous regulations and reshuffle the cards. He estimated that Zhang Zhun was going to personally endorse the development of Songjiang Mansion.

Soon after, a full ten scribes arrived. Soon after their arrival, the prefect of Matsue Prefecture and other prefectural officials, as well as the principal officials of each prefecture, all arrived. They all looked at Zhang Zhun expectantly. Zhang Zhun's practice in Suzhou Mansion has aroused the favor of many people. It would be even better if he gave Songjiang Mansion a little benefit.

"I know that all of you here have some concerns about the number of employees being too large, and think that it will lead to unforeseen events. I can understand your concerns. Indeed, a stable social environment and a good public security environment are what we need. Especially after the end of the war, everyone needs a safe and stable environment. ”

"However, I must tell you that the development of the textile industry must be fully supported. A considerable part of the financial resources of the new empire must come from Matsue Prefecture. It can be said that without Matsue Prefecture, there would be no new empire. I know what everyone's difficulties are, so I'm here and endorse it personally. I would like to allow the maximum number of workers to be hired at handicraft farms throughout the country, including Songjiang Prefecture, to more than 10,000! ”

Oh, my God!

The maximum number of employees is 10,000!

Lord Governor really dares to do and say it!

Hearing Zhang Zhun's words, the officials of Songjiang Mansion present couldn't help but change their faces slightly. It turned out that there were only 800 people in the large handicraft farm, and they already felt that it was quite dangerous. Unexpectedly, when Zhang Zhun first arrived, he raised the upper limit of hired workers to 10,000 in one breath. Well, more than 10,000 people to be exact. In other words, as long as you can afford it, 100,000 or even 1 million will do!

"Our consistent policy of governance is to keep the people firmly bound to their own land, to cultivate in peace, and not to do anything else. This is the safest. For example, the large number of displaced people that have arisen in the past may have caused great concern to everyone. It is precisely because of the emergence of a large number of displaced people that the civil unrest in Shaanxi will become more and more intense. You may be worried that Matsue will follow in its footsteps. ”

"I can understand all of this. However, social development and economic development determine that our people cannot be bound to the land forever. With the same area of land, there will be less and less labor to cultivate. In other words, there will definitely be a surplus of labor. They definitely want to be mobile, they definitely have to make another income. ”

"As the saying goes, Dayu controls the water, and it should be sparse and not blocked. Blindly forcibly enclosing the people on the land and constantly suppressing them will only make the restrained forces stronger and stronger, and eventually collapse and set themselves on fire. The greater the intensity of the suppression, the greater the intensity of the counterattack. The scientific approach should be to slowly release this power through appropriate channels. ”

"How do you unleash this power? It is to let them go to the city to work. In the future, economic development will require a large number of products. These products cannot be produced directly in the field. We need a lot of workshops, we need a lot of hired workers. Only by combining the two can a large number of goods be produced. Therefore, it is not feasible to limit the number of employees employed. ”

"Of course, as an outsider, there are a lot of household registrations, and they may not be in Songjiang Prefecture at all. Their family may not be in Songjiang Province either. They may have no fixed residence in Songjiang Prefecture and are wandering around. This is sure to raise a lot of questions. They may form gangs, fights, or even commit adultery, theft, robbery, homicide, kidnapping, fraud and other criminal acts are possible. However, we should not stifle the development of Matsue Prefecture just because these possibilities exist. ”

Zhang Zhun knew that some of the officials at all levels below were relatively dull in their brains, and there was no way to turn the corner for a while. Moreover, it is often the case that the better the person, the harder it is to change the concept. Therefore, he is also quite patient and gives them detailed explanations. There is no way, in the future, the affairs of Songjiang Mansion will have to rely on them to deal with it.

"In order to ensure the safety of the place and prevent unforeseen incidents, I will send a battalion of the Tiger Ben Army to be temporarily stationed in Jinshanwei. With the army there, it's no big deal. However, I think this is completely unfounded! ”

"Now, I would like to share with you some of my own experiences. As long as you have mastered the relevant essentials, you don't need to be afraid of hiring workers***. Before my lecture begins, if you have a question, you can raise your hand and ask a question. ”

Zhang Zhun slowly ended his opening remarks.

No one raised their hand.

Everyone is waiting for Zhang Zhun's next step.

In fact, there is no need for the officials present to ask, even if they have questions. Because, Zhang Zhun's tone is already very clear. For the development of Songjiang Mansion, he personally endorsed it. He also specially dispatched troops to Jinshanwei to escort the development of Songjiang Prefecture. With such an attitude, if they raise objections, they are really too ignorant of the world.

"Is there no problem?"

"Alright! Let's get started! ”

After glancing at everyone, Zhang Zhun said slowly.

He started with the hired workers in the handicraft and continued to the later "Labor Law", which simply and directly described the various rules of the later industrial society. If Songjiang Prefecture continues to develop at the current rate, it will inevitably become the most advanced industrial area of the Tiger Ben Empire in the future. Perhaps, it may also be the region where the Industrial Revolution first broke out.

Four hundred years of learning, of course, is not blind. No matter what kind of knowledge, Zhang Zhun can get it at his fingertips. From time to time, Zhang Zhun can also give a few vivid examples to deepen everyone's understanding. Even officials at all levels in Songjiang Prefecture, who had never seen the industrial revolution, couldn't help but show their yearning eyes under Zhang Zhun's vivid depictions.

Liu Guangxin listened carefully beside him, and he only admired it. I really don't know where I learned this knowledge. He considers himself to be a well-read person, and he has read no less books. However, compared to Lord Dudu, he is indeed too ashamed. At least, he never knew that there was such knowledge in this world.

If Liu Guangxin's reaction was just admiration, then the reaction of other officials was quite puzzled and a little frightened. While they were puzzled by Zhang Zhun's knowledge, they also expressed their horror at Zhang Zhun's origin. Could it be that Zhang Zhun is really the reincarnation of a god? Otherwise, how could he know so much knowledge that no one else knew at all?

It must be known that the officials present, except for a few old men from the Tiger Army, the others are all full of poetry and books. In terms of knowledge, they will definitely not be less. In a rich place like Songjiang Mansion, those who can come here to serve as key officials are at least from Shujishi. However, they don't know where Zhang Zhun's knowledge came from.

If Zhang Zhun was just an ordinary person, Liu Guangxin would definitely try his best to get out his secret. This knowledge really makes them very curious, and even very blushing. Some of this knowledge, if you master it alone, will undoubtedly reap great benefits. However, it is a pity that they do not have such guts. With Zhang Zhun's current identity, who dares to ask Zhang Zhun about these secrets?

Of course, Zhang Zhun will not reveal his secrets. He also believed that no one would dare to ask him about his secrets. He could see the people in front of him, and he was very curious, but they didn't dare to ask. Zhang Zhun was sure that now that he had been draped in countless mysterious circles of light in advance, no one would have the courage to offend his authority at all.

Zhang Zhun believed that with his guidance, the new empire would have taken at least 350 years of detours in the development of the cotton spinning industry. Under his guidance, Songjiang Province could become the world's largest textile industry center with a five-year plan. Well, even before that, he was already the biggest. At that time, the British textile industry had not yet started.

What Zhang Zhun wants to seize is this advantage. Get ahead of the British, or others, and set off a frenzy of the Industrial Revolution. As long as the social economy continues to develop, as long as the outside world's thirst for commodities is very vigorous, the industrial revolution will naturally break out.

It would be great if, in my lifetime, I could taste the fruits of the industrial revolution, or even the electrification revolution, in my lifetime. To be honest, sometimes, Zhang Zhun feels that he is really unaccustomed to the days when there is no electricity!

……

"Master, you're back."

Sun Weina greeted Zhang Zhun's return at Fotong Temple.

As a first-time wife, she didn't seem to be used to such a role, and when she saw Zhang Zhun coming back, her face turned red all of a sudden, as if she had just drunk a lot of spirits. When she greeted Zhang Zhun, she was obviously a little shy and embarrassed to meet people.

However, Shen Lingfei was in Suzhou and was busy with business, so she had to let Sun Weina follow. This is also to let her and Zhang Zhun be alone for a period of time and enjoy Zhang Zhun's caresses. It would be better if I could be a mother as I wished.

"Hmm."

Zhang Zhun looked at Sun Weina with a smile.

Sun Weina's current appearance really doesn't look like a female salt lord. After being cultivated by him a few times, she became more and more charming and shy. Whether it's in bed or under it, she's still a little squirming. It's really strange, her changes make Zhang Zhun a little unpredictable!

"It would be nice to be natural."

Zhang Zhun shook his head and said easily.

Sun Weina hesitated for a moment before slowly relaxing.

Zhang Zhun nodded and said with satisfaction: "That's right." ”

The two entered the hall, Zhang Zhun sat down, and said casually: "That Liu Guangxin, wasted so much of my saliva." It is estimated that I will have to stay in Songjiang Mansion for at least a month before I can completely complete the relevant courses. ”

Sun Weina smiled shyly and said unevenly: "Master, don't say bad things about others behind your back." Last time, you also said that Liu Guangxin is the most open-minded and the most capable of comprehension among all high-level officials. His experience in governance is also quite rich. Otherwise, you wouldn't have moved him to this position. ”

Zhang Zhun smiled subconsciously and said casually: "Yes! He's already the best. But I don't think that's enough! Alas, some of the most basic economic issues require me to explain several times before I can understand them. Alas, it was all the previous imperial examinations that killed people. In the future imperial examinations, it is estimated that some courses will have to be added. ”

Sun Weina said with a smile: "Take a bite of rice, you have to walk step by step, and you can't come in a hurry." You should wait for the Ministry of Government Affairs to study and decide on the matter of the imperial examination. It is estimated that apart from the imperial examination, there is no fairer way to select talents. You don't want to engage in filial piety and show talent, right? ”

Zhang Zhun shook his head and smiled dumbly.

Filial piety, father does not live? Show talent, don't know the book?

However, when I think about it seriously, I am indeed a little anxious.

That's right, Songjiang Mansion does have some foundations, and this is the most developed area of the capitalist economy in the Ming Kingdom. The handicraft farms scattered here already have the rudiments of a capitalist economy. It is understandable that he values this place and wants to develop it as soon as possible. The problem is that this foundation, relatively speaking, is still relatively weak.

The capitalist economy of Songjiang Prefecture is actually still a seedling that has just broken through the soil and needs careful care. Once it is subjected to a violent storm, or if someone destroys the flowers, this seedling may die. In real history, the Qing army entered the customs and destroyed this seedling. As a result, China has been weak for 400 years.

However, he can't help but be in a hurry! You need to know, what is Matsue Prefecture? It is the Shanghai of the future! Thinking of Shanghai in the future, Zhang Zhun was enthusiastic! If a Shanghai had been created in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, wouldn't people all over the world be envious to death?

Seeing Zhang Zhun in deep thought, Sun Weina stood behind him and gently slapped him on the back. She originally wanted to pinch Zhang Zhun's bones, but unfortunately, she didn't learn kung fu at home, so she had to beat her back instead. Suddenly, she felt that it was actually quite good for two people to get along quietly.

Zhang Zhun suddenly said, "Are you used to it?" ”

Sun Weina said shyly: "If you don't dislike me, I'll get used to it." ”

Zhang Zhun said with a smile: "Will I dislike you?" ”

Sun Weina was shy and silent.

Zhang Zhun held her soft palms, stroked them slowly, and said with a smile: "However, I want you to live a life of pure heart and few desires." After these two years, you can go back to your old business. When the time comes, we should take Nanyang. There's a lot of business waiting for you to do! Fei Fei's place, one person can't be busy. ”

Sun Weina's face became even redder, and she was a little expectant and nervous in her heart.

This so-called day of pure heart and few desires is all prescribed by the "imperial doctor" Ning Lingwei. The general content is that in the days when women are preparing for ***, they must eat lighter, healthier, and avoid big fish, big meat and all greasy food. The purpose of this is, of course, to maintain a good body and increase the odds of ***.

Not to mention after pregnancy, or even after childbirth. Ancient people did not have much knowledge of dietary therapy and tonic, and generally believed that eating lightly was a universal way to fight all physical problems. Sun Weina has just been reclaimed by Zhang Zhun, and she has not yet determined whether there is ***, so she naturally strictly abides by such regulations.

Because from *** to the full moon of the child, it is generally two years to enter the royal kindergarten. In the past two years, it is impossible for Sun Weina to go outside. Even if she has to handle official business, she will have to wait until the child grows up and can enter kindergarten.

Zhang Zhun heard that Sun Weina didn't react for a long time, subconsciously glanced back, and said with a smile: "What? Don't you want to? I thought you would! ”

Sun Weina's cheeks were red, she twisted and pinched, and said hesitantly: "I...... Willing...... But...... This...... It's not up to me to decide......"

Zhang Zhun smiled and said happily: "Understood! I'll try harder! ”

Sun Weina lowered her head, pinched the corners of her clothes, and said shyly: "There are ...... Don't get it in other people's mouths and ***...... It's all wasted ......."

Zhang Zhun smiled, and was about to speak, when someone knocked on the door and came in, bringing the latest front-line battle report.

The content of the battle report is very simple, Yin Fengyi's Tiger Army Vermilion Bird Legion successfully conquered Kunming Mansion in Yunnan, and Mu Tianbo committed suicide and martyrdom. The others, including Mu Tianbo's wife and children, all surrendered. The remnants of the imperial army also surrendered.

Zhang Zhun casually put the battle report on the table and slowly fell into deep thought. Yunnan arrived, indicating that there was no way out in Shuzhong. The imperial court, it's time to make a wise choice, right? Emperor Chongzhen, you should take the initiative, right?
