Chapter 246: State Monopoly Capitalism (I)


Chapter 246 State Monopoly Capitalism Part 1 "General manager, in the opinion of my subordinates, this method is feasible."

Chen Ji, who joined the army, did not notice Zhu Bayi's performance.

He took over Zhu Chongba's words and analyzed in a low voice, "Since the Tang Dynasty, there have been a large number of porcelain workshops in Yangzhou.

Although the porcelain produced is not as good as that of Ji and Gan The two places are not as exquisite as the Ru kiln or the Jun kiln, but they have the advantages of both the north and the south, and they have the convenience of the canal, so they can be directly shipped and sold to various places and even outside the region.

The porcelain industry requires a lot of labor, which is just right.

Let the people work for relief.”

"Shipbuilding, rubber making, and textile spinning can also consume a lot of manpower."

Ye Dexin, who joined the army, was unwilling to stay behind and quickly added on the side.

"Expand the water port in Haimen County to accommodate large ships with more than five thousand materials.

In the early years, big cannibals often came from the sea.

They changed river boats in Haimen to sell goods in Jiangdu.

Later, the river port was silted up by silt, and it was still Go somewhere else."

Yang Weizhen, another soldier who joined the army, thought for a while and added loudly.

"There are also things like lacquer treatment and salt boiling, which can all be changed to government offices.

The government will take the lead and let the people contribute their own efforts in exchange for living expenses."

"Yangzhou's lacquer screens and carpentry have always been famous all over the world.

If we can gather some skilled craftsmen" Encouraged by Chen Ji and others, other civilian staff also spoke out.

Thanks to Meng Yuan's policy of devaluing learning, most of the literati recruited by the Huai'an army did not reject trade.

Some even came from the Shanglu family themselves.

So soon, Zhu Bayi was given more than 20 ways to consume massive labor.

In the end, even the old Jinshi Lu Zeng joined in and said in a low voice: "My Lord, according to the opinion of the old minister, this strategy is feasible.

It is better to gather the craftsmen to work for the Lord than to have them slaughtered at will by the local unscrupulous gentry.

In addition, , our Huai'an Army sells the goods directly, and saves the purchase and transfer of goods by traders, which invisibly saves the people from another round of exploitation."

"Well" Zhu Bayi rubbed his temples, his ears buzzing.

Planned economy, unified purchasing and marketing, what are these?

No wonder a certain great ideal can take root and flourish in China in another time and space.

It turns out that we have this kind of gene in our bones.

In terms of understanding of the planned economy and government-run enterprises, all the people here together cannot match him even by a toe.

After all, his other soul comes from China in the 21st century and has almost witnessed the transformation of the entire planned economy into a market economy.

The process of transformation, and witnessed firsthand the prosperity and disorder, pain and sin during the transformation period Zhu Bayi knew that to a certain extent, what Chen Ji and others said was absolutely correct.

Government-run workshops, with unified purchasing and marketing, indeed have unparalleled competitiveness in times of scarcity of supplies and limited transportation capacity.

Any private workshop can only bow its head in front of the behemoth government-run company.

Otherwise, in the early days of the Republic in another time and space, there would not have been so many private owners crying for public-private partnership.

Although there are huge political factors involved, in terms of competitiveness, when sales channels are monopolized by the government, private workshops and enterprises are indeed unable to compete with large state-owned enterprises.

In addition, large state-owned enterprises also have an advantage that no one can match, that is, they can greatly replace some of the responsibilities of the government and society.

Life, old age, illness, death, and even the resolution of neighborhood disputes can be completely left to state-owned enterprises.

Therefore, for a long time after the founding of the Republic, governments at all levels did not consider complicated matters such as unemployment benefits and pension subsidies.

Anyway, all urban residents belong to the government or state enterprises.

You are a citizen of the country in life, and you are a ghost of the enterprise in death.

You dedicate your youth to your life, and you dedicate your life to your descendants.

Everything is controlled by the country and the enterprise, and no one needs to consider it.

This approach resulted in rapid development of more than ten percent per year for several consecutive years in the early days of the Republic.

As a result, China in another time and space has been poor and weak, and all industrial products must be imported.

A basically complete industrial system has been developed rapidly.

Although it is still very backward compared with the world's strongest countries, it has achieved a qualitative leap from scratch.

However, as products become more abundant, transportation becomes more convenient, and goods can be transported across the country in a very short time, the shortcomings of large state-owned enterprises have gradually become apparent.

Products have not changed for decades, people are superfluous, and managers have completely become officials, becoming more and more greedy and shameless.

Abusing power for personal gain has gradually become fashionable, and corruption has gradually become glorious.

All these factors led to the rapid collapse of most state-owned enterprises before the new power of capital, especially bureaucratic capital, and no one had the power to recover.

Next, there will be massive unemployment, euphemistically called unprotected layoffs.

Those who live under the emperor's feet can still get some subsidies, but those who live in other areas, especially grassroots counties, are completely left to fend for themselves.

More than 30 million is still the most conservative statistic.

Behind every number, there is a face of despair.

Behind every face stands a confused family.

In sharp contrast, there are corporate managers with big bellies, luxury cars and beautiful women, who are always surrounded by people.

People who have not experienced that era cannot understand the pain of being a child of an ordinary family in that era.

I can’t understand the confusion and confusion.

In Zhu Bayi's previous life, he could not explain clearly the darkness and despair he had witnessed to his juniors who were only seven or eight years younger than him.

What's more, facing Zhu Chongba, Chen Ji and other ancients who had never experienced that era Knowing clearly where the end of the road is, Zhu Bayi is absolutely unwilling to lead everyone in that direction.

Repeatedly rubbing his temples, he tried to persuade everyone to give up this crazy and dangerous idea.

However, at the same time, there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him that he might as well give it a try.

The danger would only be a matter of decades later.

At least in front of him, all he could see were benefits.

It can solve the urgent needs of the Huai'an Army.

Note 1 While he was hesitating, the voice of Xu Hongsan, the commander of the regiment, suddenly came from outside the door, "Report to the Chief Manager, there are three people who claim to be the envoys of Tianwan Kingdom and have come to see you."

"Tianwan" Zhu Bayi was stunned and quickly woke up from his chaotic thoughts.

Tianwan is Xu Shouhui's national title, and the two characters are one more than "Dayuan".

The implication is to "crush" Dayuan to death.

Since the Huai'an army formed its own line, Liantai Pingzhang of Tianwan Kingdom, also known as Prime Minister Peng Yingyu, has continued to write letters to express his goodwill to this new force.

However, Zhu Bayi never responded, and he was still unable to figure out what kind of relationship he wanted to maintain with this important anti-Yuan force.

"Captain, it would be better to meet these people."

Lu Luzeng reacted very quickly.

He immediately thought of the importance of the arrival of the southern red scarf envoy to the Huai'an army at this moment.

"General manager, in fact, showing weakness to the enemy does not damage the reputation of the general manager.

Back then, even with the ability of Tang Gaozong Li Yuan, there was a time when he called Li Mi his brother."

Chen Ji, Ye Dexin and others also spoke one after another.

As leaders of this era, they all clearly realized that the Huai'an Army had already offended Liu Futong, so they should not offend Xu Shouhui and Peng Yingyu at the same time.

On the contrary, maintaining an aloof relationship with both is the most consistent with the current interests of the Huai'an Army.

After all, purely in terms of combat effectiveness.

The Huai'an Red Turban is no longer inferior to any of the previous teams.

Neither Liu Futong nor Xu Shouhui wanted to force the Huai'an army to the other side.

"Hong San, come in and talk and explain the situation in detail."

In most cases, Zhu Bayi is able to follow the good advice.

He nodded and gave instructions to the door.

"Yes."

Xu Hongsan walked in quickly, first bowed his hand to everyone, and then introduced to Zhu Bayi carefully, "Three people came, claiming to be His Majesty Emperor Tianwan's former general Zhao Pusheng, left army commander Shi Chen Youliang and Shui The deputy commander of the army, Ding Pulang, still holds Peng Yingyu's autographed letter.

The signature and seal are exactly the same as those of the previous letters.

His subordinates have sent special personnel to check it.

It doesn't seem to be a forgery."

"Chen Youliang, he's here too!"

Zhu Chongba said unexpectedly before anyone else could speak.

"That person is nicknamed the Two-Headed Snake.

The Chief Manager must be careful."

"Two-headed snake, this nickname is quite new."

Zhu Bayi glanced at Zhu Chongba in surprise and responded with a smile.

In Zhu Dapeng's memory, the word Chen Youliang is no stranger.

But it is a bit incredible that Zhu Yuanzhang also knew Chen Youliang's name.

After all, he is the only time traveler in the world.

It was impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang to know that Chen Youliang would replace Xu Shouhui in the future and would fight him to death for several years.

He almost teamed up with Zhang Shicheng to kill him.

"That guy's real name is Xie.

His father married into the Chen family, so he was named Chen."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhu Chongba smiled and explained in a low voice, "The Chen family has always treated him as a member of the same family. , sent him to private school, and even found an official position for him in the Yamen.

A few years ago, when the Red Scarf Army failed to succeed, he and his brothers were involved in both black and white, and had a lot of hands on their hands. life" It turned out to be a character like Timely Rain Song Jiang.

Zhu Bayi nodded lightly.

Collusion between officials and bandits is something that no government can tolerate in another time and space.

So his impression of Chen Youliang immediately turned bad.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked Xu Hongsan in a low voice, "What is their purpose today?

Have you asked?"

"I didn't dare to ask carefully."

Xu Hongsan shook his head and responded frankly, "But judging from their intentions, it seems that they want to sell us a batch of grain.

That Ding Pulang is a real person.

Ever since he met the humble official, he has been sighing The people in Yangzhou are pitiful.

Then they showed off that they robbed several official warehouses in Wuchang and had too much food to eat."

"That's great, let's buy the grain."

Mao Gui, the governor of Mengcheng, was overjoyed when he heard this.

He walked up to Zhu Ba11 and encouraged him loudly.

However, he soon realized his recklessness.

There is no free lunch in the world, and the Huai'an army is short of food.

This is a well-known fact.

Especially after carrying the burden of 600,000 refugees in Yangzhou City, it was even more stretched.

Even the traders in Jiangnan did not hesitate to triple the price of food at this juncture.

What's more, it would be strange if the Peng Yingyu family, which has a large number of troops and nominal authority over Zhu Bayi, didn't take advantage of the situation and rob them.

Note 1: The craftsman household system in the early Ming Dynasty had, to a certain extent, the nature of a state-owned enterprise.

The government sets goals, provides raw materials, craftsmen are responsible for production, and then the government takes back the finished products.

But later on, it became more and more distorted, and the craftsmen completely became slaves without any freedom, which is another story
