After the Beijing Procuratorate Plan was over, the Ming Dynasty's officialdom was completely renewed. It was not that there was no corrupt official in the Ming Dynasty since then, so it was of course unlikely. The biggest change in the rectification of the Ming Dynasty officials this time was that they all knew that they should work hard and love the people and develop the economy.

This is not what all officials suddenly got their minds, but the emperor forced them. This time, all localities made reports, not to say whether it was accurate or not. At least the general economic conditions of various places were known. The emperor issued an imperial edict. After three years, the external investigation directly investigated the people's income. If there was no increase in the amount, they would be directly dismissed from their posts and investigated; if they could not double, they would have to resign automatically; of course, if they could be more than twice, the reward would be terrifying. If they doubled, they would be upgraded one more level!

If you want to say who is the most urgent among these local officials, it is the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. You should know that Shuntian Prefecture is the location of the capital, and there can be a little fake in other places. It will almost be over. Anyway, as long as it grows a little, it will be enough. He is under the emperor's nose, and officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate are living here. If you want to adulterate, there is really no way to go.

What should I do? It turns out that he has not paid attention to the economic issues that he has not paid attention to at all. He knows how farmers can increase their income. The Beijing News said that the chief assistant Lord Xu Guangqi has compiled a set of "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs". As long as the above is based on the above, the farmers' income can be increased by at least twice. There is no need to say, hurry up and let the county magistrates below buy one set, which is calculated in the office funds.

How do the people in the capital increase their income? This problem is a headache. Fortunately, the Beijing News saved him again. In the past two days, the Beijing News reported a sensational news that the ally Portugal had ordered nearly 10 million taels of arms from the Ming Dynasty at one time, and there will be more orders in the future. In order to rush to build arms, Wang Gong Factory specially divided a group of "model workers" to ask them to build their own factories and organize people to produce gun parts. It was said that the profit was so high.

What about these people? The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture quickly found them and began to take the initiative to help them solve the problem:

No factory? It's simple. All the yards and officials come to me, and they report to me to take them to choose from if there are vacant houses there;

Not enough staff? It’s easy to deal with. If you can’t write a notice for recruitment, just tell me the oral statement if you can’t. I have someone to write it for you. The postings are everywhere in the capital. Are you still afraid that you can’t recruit people?

......

Not long after, Wanggong Factory's outsourced processing plants were completed and put into production. The ten completed processing plants all produced gun barrels for Wanggong Factory. The scale was not very large. They brought the barrel blast from Wanggong Factory and sent them to Wanggong Factory after they were done. The Ministry of Industry only provided machine tools, each company could be equipped with several drilling machines, several lathes, several rifling beds and a small boiler.

As for the specific number of machine tools, they are considered by themselves, and the personnel are recruited by themselves. If they feel that they have strong abilities and high management level, they will install more machine tools. If they feel that they have limited abilities, they will install fewer machine tools. As long as they can produce qualified barrels, they will also control the output. Anyway, they will earn more money. These are all model workers. If they don’t believe that, they won’t work hard.

After a few days of trial production, Song Yingxing counted that even the factory with the least output can produce at least one hundred qualified rifle barrels in a day. The one with the highest output can produce almost two hundred qualified rifle barrels in a day. In this way, the production of the muskets in Wang Gong Factory can be increased to at least 40,000 per month. If you work overtime, it is not impossible to produce 50,000 per month!

It is not fake that the high profit is scary. The processing fee for a rifle barrel is 2 taels, and the processing fee for a pistol barrel is 1 taels. In other words, each family can earn at least 200 taels a day, and the maximum one is even 500 taels a day. On average, each company can earn about 10,000 taels a month! The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, no matter how much they spend or how much wages they have to pay, this gross income is pure economic growth. No matter who they send it to, it will be averaged to everyone in the end.

However, this income does not seem to be much for millions of people in Beijing, and it is still far from doubled. Fortunately, the outsourced processing factory has just finished the work of the outsourced processing factory. The Beijing News has released new news. The Ministry of Industry has developed a batch of civilian machinery, including shuttle looms, steam printing machines, steam powder making machines, steam spinning machines..., and various mechanical production can also be described in detail. Moreover, these things are purchased by Nixinglong Business Unit at more than twice the cost price. Those who have money can order machines from the Ministry of Industry immediately. Those who have money can also borrow money from Nixinglong Business Unit to order machines. As long as someone guarantees it, the Ministry of Industry has limited production capacity. If you want to buy it, you can hurry up!

The Ministry of Industry will not talk about him for the time being. The reputation of Rixinglong Business is absolutely true. He said that the acquisition is definitely true. People are originally doing business. It is normal to buy cheap products and sell them. This matter can definitely make money.

Now the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture issued another order. Each village is guaranteed at least one guarantee, and each house is guaranteed at least two. Within one month, you must help to start the factory. If there is no place, you can find a place for them. If there is no one, you can recruit people. In short, the factory must be set up. Whoever can't do it can get out. If you can't do it, you can't do it well, what's the use for you!

Now the entire capital has set off another frenzy of building factories. There are more than 20 neighbors in the entire capital, and there are less than 100 of them. Not only do they want to build factories themselves, there are nearly 150 indicators under Guangshun Tianfu. The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture also fought hard to keep the black sha. Whoever dares to be lazy and can't keep the black sha, he will pick up someone's black sha first. Anyway, it's just a word, and build the factory for me!

Building a factory, not only the factory is under construction in Beijing, but all over the Ming Dynasty are under construction. The Ministry of Industry has also built a huge machinery factory in Dongda, specializing in the production of civil machinery. Wang Zheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry, took charge of more than 100 students from the Firearms Academy, and recruited thousands of workers to build it. At least tens of thousands of civil machinery can be built in a month. Each one is 100 taels, which is also 100,000 taels per month. It just so happened that Dongdaying also belongs to Shuntian Prefecture. Such a huge economic growth point made the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture laugh so hard that he could not close his mouth!

Thousands of machines look quite scary, but in fact there are not many. On the contrary, it is far from enough. There are hundreds of Guangzhou Prefectures in the Ming Dynasty and the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, and there are more than one thousand county towns. In other words, even if the front desk is built in a month, each county town can only get ten or ten. For a county town, there are too few ten or ten. For a county town, a small weaving factory alone requires at least twenty or thirty shuttle looms. Otherwise, it is not cost-effective to burn a small boiler. You must know that boilers are also cost-effective. A boiler can carry at least forty or fifty civilian machinery. If you have too few, the profit will be low.

Not only did locals buy machines to build factories, but agricultural production was also booming. You should know that the Ming Dynasty is still a pure agricultural country. Industry can be said to have just started. The cultivated land alone is over one billion mu, and the agricultural population accounts for almost 90% of the total population of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the magistrates in various places are not fools, they know the importance of pursuing agriculture. As long as agriculture is brought up, not to mention promotion, at least the official position will be preserved.

In terms of economic development, no matter which industry, it is actually related. Take agricultural development as an example. The magistrates and prefects in various places cannot be all-round talents. Most of them do not understand agriculture. What should I do? Learn from the magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture and buy the "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs". In this way, the sales of the "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" will increase. The "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" is not cheap, and a set of sixty volumes is a set. Not to mention that Xu Guangqi makes money by making copyright fees, but those printing workshops alone will make a lot of money. In this way, the printing industry will develop accordingly. After the printing industry develops, more printing machines will be bought, and the machinery factory of the Ministry of Industry will benefit again.

This is just the demand aspect. In terms of sales, it is even more amazing. As agricultural output increases, grain and various raw materials become rich. Not only can Rixinglong make a lot of money, but various processing industries are also rising. When the processing industries come, their consumption capacity is also rising, and they can consume more goods, which can promote the development of other industries. This is a growing cycle, just like a snowball. As long as the snowball rolls, it will grow bigger and bigger.

All of this has slowly developed under the guidance of Zhu Cijiu. The fastest-effected textile industry is the textile industry. The efficiency of steam spinning machines and shuttle looms is quite terrifying. The production of cloth in the Ming Dynasty can be said to be growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The production of cloth will soon exceed the overall consumption of the people of the Ming Dynasty. If all this happens in modern times, it will be a disaster. The price of cloth will depreciate rapidly. Depreciate and depreciate again, and the manufacturers of cloth will gradually go bankrupt.

But it was different in the Ming Dynasty. This era was a colonial era. Many countries were under colonial rule and were severely suppressed by the colonists. Not to mention developing industries, even what they planted in their own fields had to be decided by the colonists. This created a gap period for industrial industries in colonial countries. This gap period must be maintained until the development of local industries in colonial countries reached a bottleneck and had to spread out.

How long was this period? To be precise, it will continue until the outbreak of World War I, that is, it will take nearly three hundred years. This period was the period when the great powers used the wealth and raw materials plundered by the colonies to develop local industries in a crazy way. The economic gap between developed and developing countries in later generations was also accumulated during this period.
