Foreigners who have built such a palace for more than a month should be amazed, but Zhu Jinglun is not surprised. China’s experience in large-scale construction is at the forefront of the world. First, it benefits from the frequent flooding of the Yellow River, which often requires tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people to fight disasters. This has enabled the officials of China dynasties to organize huge construction capacity. Second, China routinely abandoned the old and welcomed the new. Except for the Qing Dynasty, almost all the capitals will be built after the new ones were built. Sometimes, not only the palaces but even the cities will be built directly.
It is said that Xi ‘an was built in more than ten months when Luoyang was built in the Han and Tang Dynasties, but it took only four years to build a palace in the west. One of the most important reasons is that China people can set up a construction team of 10,000 people. This is not a question of the number of people, but mainly a question of management ability.
Although Zhu Jinglun Palace is large in scale, it is smaller than residential buildings and palaces of past dynasties. It is not troublesome to build a Sanjin Palace with 30,000 or 50,000 people working at the same time, and it can be completed in a month.
Zhu Jinglun didn’t expect Chen Zhiting to rebuild the palace without telling himself, and he wasn’t angry about it. After all, it was not a day or two before Chen Zhiting asked for the palace to be repaired. Before Zhu Jinglun cultivated land in the palace, he insisted that he only had enough money, so don’t wave in these things. He repeatedly refuted Chen Zhiting’s proposal.
But I didn’t expect this guy to be so persistent that he took advantage of his absence to fix it directly.
Zhu Jinglun, who has such a strong obsession with Chen Zhiting, should bear a great responsibility. If he just farmed in the palace, that would be all. But he still needs to meet diplomats in the palace from time to time, which makes Chen Zhiting embarrassed. In his view, it is not unacceptable for the emperor to farm land as a hobby. Many civil servants don’t like to farm in their hometown after retirement. yongzheng emperor also found someone to draw a set of hunting maps, which are now in most collections.
But this meeting with diplomats, especially foreigners, made it difficult for Chen Zhiting, especially when he heard foreigners talk privately that there were few decent houses in the palace of the Great Poor Emperor, not to mention that the emperor still needed to farm.
The word "poor" has deeply hurt Chen Zhiting. In fact, he is also a problem of mentality. If it is a prosperous time, he may be dismissive of this statement, secretly laughing at a foreigner who has no knowledge. But the problem is that he is really poor now and he is the prime minister in charge of national politics, which makes Chen Zhiting feel that his work is not done well.
Chen Zhiting does not have this kind of psychological obstacle. He has a very peaceful mind. He wears coarse clothes many times and goes to see foreign ministers after releasing ducks.
Chen Zhiting heard many times that Zhu Jinglun was still carrying mud, and after meeting with the foreign minister, he made up his mind to say that he would also build the palace instead of the Forbidden City. Of course, he was also holding back his strength in his heart. After a few years, when everyone became solid, he must build a palace that would not lose to the Forbidden City.
When Zhu Jinglun saw this new palace, he could ask by default. When he knew that Chen Zhiting was not forced to levy labor, but paid for hiring craftsmen, Zhu Jinglun was not going to pursue it, but he still wanted to reprimand him. This belongs to acting without considering his own attitude. If all ministers are like this, once they develop it, they will be like the Japanese 6 th Army. Once they get used to it, they will drag the country into the abyss.
A reprimand and a half-year salary may also teach Chen Zhiting a lesson, but it makes a hundred officials understand that a rule offender will be punished.
Zhu Jinglun’s mind was not in the palace. He quickly took Wu Chongyao to the newly-built imperial house. Now many antiques moved back from the Qing Palace have been decorated by Chen Zhiting, but they are all rare calligraphy and painting cultural relics that are not easy to protect. People are worried about whether they are good at chasing things such as so-called official kiln porcelain, enamel, gold and silver utensils, jade agate, etc. Zhu Jinglun has long told them to sell them slowly in batches to solve the financial problems of the government. Those Chen Zhiting did not get them.
I didn’t mind paying attention to these and soon told WuChongYao what I thought. WuChongYao had no objection.
Zhu Jinglun, now that he will integrate unification into modern times, can also play a bright banner, that is, to advocate unification morality.
Ask him to hold high the banner of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, not to mention Wu Chongyao. It is estimated that the most pedantic old people in the township can’t oppose it. This is a good way to balance the conservative forces.
Zhu Jinglun advised Wu Chongyao to carry it out immediately.
Guangfu Bank was managed in accordance with the western banking system after being presided over by banker McClane, but at the beginning of last year, McClane earned enough money to go back to China for retirement day, so he directly handed it over to one of his own people to manage the shopkeeper, who is a distant nephew of Wu Chongyao. He has studied carefully with McClane for five years and has completely mastered the modern banking operation mode.
Wu Chongyao took Zhu Jinglun’s articles of association and his nephew Ma presided over the launch of a series of new management measures.
The guiding principle of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness is to add one or two silver support allowance to the staff whose parents are still alive every month. For Guangfu Bank, these days, they are invited from major shops and foreign companies. For accountants, this money is nothing, but it is a filial piety concept. If they uphold this kind of culture, they will have a better impression of the bank
An apprentice who has announced the lowest salary can borrow an interest loan in the bank if there is a wedding, funeral or wedding event at home, which reflects the idea that the top management of the bank is benevolent to the bottom employees.
In the embodiment, Zhu Jinglun had long planned to negotiate with the lower-level staff to set up a public account with a little salary every month, but when anyone is in trouble and needs help to tide over the difficulties, this account will help them.
Obviously, Zhu Jinglun’s methods are still in the exploratory stage, and they are still somewhat rigid and deliberately rigid, but he feels that they should be able to receive less results and take the lead.
He feels that Guangfu Bank is the modern commercial organization with the best benefits at present, and her every move should be quickly imitated by other commercial organizations like the later star enterprises.
But Zhu Jinglun didn’t expect that the system of Guangfu Bank was ridiculed. More newspapers disagreed with it. Because people thought that the accounting offices in Guangfu Bank were all big shopkeepers, Zhu Jinglun didn’t need a rescue office. Instead, it was considered that the bank was giving benefits to employees in disguise.
Zhu Jinglun was quite depressed, perhaps out of jealousy, perhaps because he really didn’t choose the right object, and the first experiment ended in failure.
Section four hundred and twenty-seven Destroy the machine movement
Zhu Jinglun soon knew where he was wrong. He couldn’t just blame the people for their jealousy. The main thing was that he introduced these systems himself, and there was really nothing at all.
At the beginning of the establishment of Guangfu Bank, Zhu Jinglun directly gave Guangfu Bank the exclusive banknote bank in Guangdong. Guangfu Bank banknotes were legal tender in Guangdong. Later, after the establishment, Guangfu Bank banknotes directly became legal tender.
The main industries with central bank color are printing paper money and helping the government underwrite bonds. If banks can still lose money, it will be unreasonable. The fact is that Zhu Jinglun’s rich family and later acquired HSBC made full preparations to promote Guangfu Bank’s paper money through HSBC channels, not only in large circulation, but also at ports such as the sea. Other banks’ paper money is the most important currency in circulation. After Maclean left last year’s financial crisis, foreign banks in China were completely terminated by acquisition, and Guangfu Bank’s paper money replaced these banks. Now Guangfu Bank’s paper money has penetrated into the Qing court.
Up to now, the main Guangfu Bank has made a total of 10 million yuan despite the main concept of steady operation and promotion. In the form of paper money, it is equivalent to an increase of 10 million yuan. It is a big profit every year to lend money to other banks, and it is natural for banks to have a good profit.
If the profits are high, talents can be hired with high salaries, and even apprentices can attract the brightest students in the school.
In this kind of high-paying bank, workers are really not ordinary employees, even the poorest apprentices have two taels of silver a month during their three-year apprenticeship, which is higher than that of ordinary hard-working workers.
So Zhu Jinglun still promotes his ideas in banks, just as later state-owned banks will inevitably win the favor of outsiders by increasing benefits for their employees.
To put it bluntly, there is no need for personal testing, and the new system is too formalistic. After that, it will be popularized.
After seeing the feedback from the outside world, Zhu Jinglun quickly reflected that he thought it was too simple, but he was not discouraged. The promotion of the new system could not be so smooth, and the Japanese did not establish their management system in an instant. It was all slowly explored step by step. This is the first step.
However, Zhu Jinglun saw that it was not feasible to work in a bank, and he must really find an enterprise that could play a real role in benefiting employees and enterprises.
Zhu Jinglun soon thought of the Chen Qiyuan Silk Reeling Factory of the Ministry of Industry and the Changlong Silk Reeling Factory.
Following the Changlong Silk Reeling Factory, although it is a well-established industry of the Ministry of Industry, it is still a purely private enterprise that pays taxes according to regulations, and its main products are exported, so it is not in the country’s favor and there will be no situation where someone can curry favor with it.
Following Changlong Silk Reeling Factory, workers are also real industrial workers. The monthly salary of a female worker is only one and a half, and the salary of a male worker is only two or two, which is the highest salary in the same industry.
In addition, when Chen Qiyuan set up the factory, his original intention was to enrich the people and lead the villagers to get rich together. He kept saying the slogan "Let one person do ten people live and get two people’s wages", which was his original intention and his declaration to other squires to set up factories.
However, when Zhu Jinglun consulted Chen Qiyuan, he learned the bad news that the Changlong Silk Reeling Factory had been destroyed.
Just as Chen Qiyuan accompanied Zhu Jinglun to the French World Expo, people who were hostile to machine reeling got together and first smashed his cousin Chen Zhiqu and Chen Zhishu in Xuetang Village, a neighboring village in Chen Qiyuan, and then went to Jiancun, where Chen Qiyuan was located on the other side of the river, and smashed his Jichanglong reeling factory.
After Chen Qiyuan became a Shang Dynasty, his family became a local noble family, and the local government also took care of the people. As a result, his family relaxed their vigilance. After the reeling factory in the neighboring village was smashed, they thought of looking for a villager to protect the factory. However, it was too late for Chen Family Ding to stop it, but instead they clashed with the thugs. In the end, it actually caused a fire. The reeling factory, together with the equipment, was worth more than 100,000 yuan of silver raw silk and silkworm cocoons, and a man who didn’t come to work was burned to death.
Zhu Jinglun really didn’t expect this kind of situation, but it’s not the fact that he has been worried about similar things.
Newspapers have never reported the news that machine factories have robbed workers of their jobs in manual workshops, and most of the comments are based on their sympathy for workers and public grievances.
In Chen Qiyuan, three fires were burned less, and a year later, squires were encouraged to set up thousands of silk reeling factories. Although most of them were not produced by steam machines, most of them adopted various machines to hire female workers to silk reeling, which was much more efficient than in the past family workshops.
Therefore, there are indeed a large number of people whose food and clothing are affected.
However, unlike history, Chen Qiyuan is an important official of the imperial court, not the original history. That little gentleman is a teacher. It is reasonable to say that his silk reeling factory will be the same as Shunde Wenjia silk reeling factory. No one dares to destroy the silk reeling industry. Unexpectedly, it was still smashed.
Zhu Jinglun had been busy promoting his management concept, but he didn’t pay attention to it. Moreover, it happened a few months ago, and the newspaper had long since lost news. It should be said that it was no longer news, and Chen Zhiting didn’t report it as a major event. Zhu Jinglun really didn’t know it.
I didn’t know there was such a thing until I discussed it with Chen Qiyuan.
Asking about the situation in Chen Qiyuan, Chen Qiyuan said that the main reason why some spinning workers with poor livelihood vented their grievances was that too many silk reeling factories were built in one year, and these factories bought cocoons at one time after work, which led to those spinning workers not being able to buy cocoons at the moment, or the cocoon price was too high to buy spinning, which was also a loss of livelihood, and they got together to retaliate against the silk reeling factory.
Chen Qiyuan lamented that people’s livelihood was difficult, and it seemed that he was in a state of hesitation. He was shaken by his idea that holding machines could increase workers’ income. In Paris, Chen Qiyuan had to know the news. At that time, Zhu Jinglun hesitated when he discussed the introduction of machine looms.
It’s not that I can’t bear the losses in his family. At most, I lost his profits over the years. Now he is still earning enough to support his family and doesn’t care about those possessions. So Chen Qiyuan said that he doesn’t want to pursue it.
According to Chen Qiyuan’s description of Zhu Jinglun, this is similar to the movement of manual workers destroying machines in the early days of the British industrial revolution. The root of social events is that the new machine production mode destroyed the old production mode, which led to the bankruptcy of many handicraft workshop.
However, Zhu Jinglun always felt that something was wrong because he heard that the Chen brothers’ silk reeling factory was destroyed and other squires set up factories, but this kind of thing never happened. But Chen Qiyuan is the Ministry of Industry, and there is no reason to dare to smash the Shangjia factory of the Ministry of Industry and dare not smash other squires’ factories.
Doubt summoned punishments is asked about it now, but there is another feeling behind it.
Foreigners who have built such a palace for more than a month should be amazed, but Zhu Jinglun is not surprised. China’s experience in large-scale construction is at the forefront of the world. First, it benefits from the frequent flooding of the Yellow River, which often requires tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands…
