Chapter 28
After saying goodbye to Bao Ke, Wu Junyong, Li Qi and others, Du Zhongxiao entered the special train and sat down on his seat. The train started, and the trees outside the window quickly retreated, and the autumn field was golden. Du Zhongxiao looked out the window and felt mixed.
When I came to this era, I think about it carefully. The most important thing is to bring two things to this era. One is the firearm army, and the other is industry. The firearm army is invincible. I have been in Hequ Road for more than three years and have expanded the land for nearly ten thousand miles. I am an unprecedented famous general. Industry blossomed in the Central Plains, and the monster Baitingjian, which surpassed the times, appeared.
It was like a firearm army. It appeared for nearly ten years. After running a military academy, it was still not understood by the soldiers of this era. The same is true for industry. Without Du Zhongxiao's plan for the Iron Supervision, Baiting Iron Supervision would not be as large as it is now, let alone Ye County. However, without the scope of the Iron Supervision, the private industry has too much grassroots atmosphere, which makes people happy and a little scared.
It now seems that Baitingjian, especially Ye County under its rule, needs another plan to build a road for future development. With the provision of railway transportation capacity, the Central Plains has gradually formed a unified market, and the Railway Supervision is facing another rapid development barrier. Clearing obstacles for it will greatly promote the development of industry and accelerate social evolution.
After so many years of coming to this era, Du Zhongxiao deeply felt that the knowledge he had learned before was not enough. History is just recording the past era, and various theories explain the past era, and they cannot explain the unknown world. In this era, the knowledge in history can only serve as a reference, and theory can only provide some tools, but cannot explain what he is going to do.
The industrialization process in Europe in history actually could not provide much experience for this era. At that time, Europe was more mercantilism, moving forward along the long-standing aristocratic politics. With the emergence of various thoughts and struggles with each other, the situation of the previous life finally appeared. In this era, industry first appeared in the Central Plains, and it must be a different appearance, and the world will change its appearance.
How to cooperate with the development of industry? After all, there are only four words, which is to seek truth from facts. Don’t preset the premise, don’t think you have mastered any truth, but just carefully study the industry itself and the people under your rule, and find a suitable path. This work is very heavy and has exceeded Du Zhongxiao’s ability alone. It must be a group, and many people devote themselves to it.
Turning back, looking at the neat carriage, Du Zhongxiao brows deeply. After completing this task, just like before, it is no longer possible to rely on himself. This time, when returning to the capital, you must face it actively, and make more efforts in officialdom and knowledge.
After all, this world is the world of man. As long as you take the people of the world as the core and do your best, you can find a way to do things. Instead of fixing a route first and letting the people of the world adapt, you should have good results.
In the afternoon, Du Zhongxiao returned to the capital. Since he was not a foreign official, the Censors, Guo Shenxi and others welcomed Du Zhongxiao into the capital and returned to the Censorate. The Censors sat down and listened to Du Zhongxiao's introduction to this trip to Ye County.
After hearing all the things, Guo Shenxi said: "According to what Zhongcheng said, there are really many cases in Ye County. I wonder if local officials can try it?"
Du Zhongxiao said: "As long as you are careful, it is just to spend more time, and they will find a way. For the specific case of Ye County, the Censorate does not need to devote too much energy, but to think about other things."
The Censor Wu Zhongfu said: "I don't know what the Chief Secretary said is. The matter in Ye County seems to be that the number of people and households increases, and the number of people and families is finally a serious crime."
Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "It's not that simple. Two things, one is why so many cases occurred in Ye County, but not many people know about the county government. Another, with the development of the Iron Supervision, the number of factories relying on Iron Supervision will inevitably increase, how to manage them."
Zhao Yan said: "The officials thought that from the perspective of Baiting Supervisor over the years, the factory could not be managed the same as the previous business. The current factory makes too much money and produces too many things, which is not comparable to the previous business. And if you gather in one place, the factory should think of a solution."
Du Zhongxiao said: "Yes, what Zhao Dianyuan said makes sense. The current factory has not been before and has a huge effect on the local area. We must come up with a management method, otherwise there will be endless troubles in the future. Ye County is unstable, with a large number of people and a large number of factories. The cases handled now, the powerful people arrested are mostly targeted in various markets and have not involved factories. If we investigate the factory matters, we are afraid that there will be more cases."
Guo Shenxi frowned when he heard this: "What does Zhongcheng mean?"
Du Zhongxiao said: "Most factories now produce goods related to iron. Moreover, machines are ruthless. Are there fewer things? It's just that people who do things and factory staff members have mostly settled their affairs privately. Some staff members are too strong, and even if the people who do things are not satisfied, they can only endure it."
Guo Shenxi said: "According to what Zhongcheng said, are there many cases in the factory?"
Du Zhongxiao said: "Is there less? By comparison with the Iron Supervisor, you can see how many disabilities are in a year? However, Iron Supervisor is an official, and there will always be compensation for any incidents, and there are fewer disputes. The factories outside are different. How can each member of the staff be so kind? These things must be found in the future, and they cannot continue like this. In addition, most private factories now have to evade taxes and find ways to collect them."
As soon as taxes, money and grain were added, everyone immediately became energetic. The Censor Lu Jingchu said: "According to what the Chief of the Communist Party of China said, does Ye County miss too much tax?"
Du Zhongxiao said: "I can't say whether there are many or not. Most private factories do not pay taxes. As long as they are transported to various cargo yards, stations and other places when selling goods, they will be taxed. How much money will it be if they only collect these?"
Guo Shenxi said: "This dynasty collects commercial taxes, and it has always been based on overdue taxes, and unless the store does not collect taxes."
Du Zhongxiao said: "Where the factory looks like a shop or a farmer? If they produce goods, if they don't walk through the railway and do not purchase the goods yard, they will not be able to collect taxes? The Lishui River in Ye County is just a small river. Now there are so many ships on the river, I don't know how many of them are."
Guo Shenxi said nothing for a moment. After a while, he said, "Zhongcheng said this, will there be a big change in Ye County?"
Du Zhongxiao nodded: "Yes, it's going to be a big change. I will submit a memorial to report to the emperor about what he has seen and heard these days. You will think about how to change it. Let's focus on our thoughts and think of a way out."
Everyone knows what Du Zhongxiao said. I think Du Zhongxiao’s memorial this time is not simple, and it is likely to cause a controversy between court officials. The officials of the Censorate were ready to take the lead in the argument.
Compared with other yamen, the Yashitai is relatively loose except for daily affairs. The censors have a high degree of independence. There is no need to know the censor Zhongcheng how to report the report. Daily affairs are programmed, and Zhongcheng has not ordered many things. This kind of collective discussion of one thing rarely happened before. Du Zhongxiao really wanted to perform a major operation on the iron supervisor this time.
