Chapter 1071 Curb the population

Sushun has conducted a detailed investigation and understanding of the situation of Yuanqi Bank. As a very important system for Yuanqi Bank, he is naturally familiar with it. The head-on stocks originated from the Jinshang Piao and were further improved in the hands of Yuanqi Bank. With Yuanqi's reputation, the head-on stock system has now been adopted by many companies in Europe and the United States.

He said a little depressedly: "The pin-body stock system is indeed effective, but it is fundamentally different from the retirement and pension systems. The system that Yuanqi is implementing now has nothing to do with pin-body stocks."

Jie Xiuyuan has been following Yi Zhizuo since the beginning of Yuan Qi. It is not an exaggeration to say that Yi Zhizuo's right-hand man is. In recent years, even though he served as the Minister of the Duzhi, he still frequently traveled between the capital and Shanghai, and often went to and from Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

"I heard the shopkeeper mention the retirement system and the pension system..." Jie Xiuyuan said slowly: "A series of systems implemented by factories and mining enterprises under Yuanqi's name, such as the "Disease Insurance System", "Work Injury Insurance System", "Retirement System", and "Pension System" are commonly known as the social welfare security system.

The purpose is to strengthen the human rights security and living security of workers, so as to accelerate and promote my country's industrial development, attract a large number of farmers to leave the land and enter factories, and attract a large number of new graduates to enter factories."

After opening the conversation, he simply said more thoroughly, "In the past, Britain developed industry to drive a large number of farmers into factories through the "land enclosure movement", while America obtained a large amount of cheap labor for factories by liberating black slaves, and Russia was no exception, by abolishing the serfdom.

Our country has neither black slaves nor serfs. Moreover, due to continuous expansion and natural disasters and man-made disasters, the contradictions caused by the already sharp high concentration of land have been alleviated. To vigorously develop industry, where does a large number of workers come from? The only way to start by increasing workers' wages and protecting workers' human rights and life.

Because these social welfare guarantee systems are implemented and implemented, the status and treatment of workers are significantly better than those of farmers and ordinary vendors and officials. Therefore, farmers, students and retired officers and soldiers are flocking to workers in the factory, and the factory is not worried about not having enough workers."

It turned out that it was to ensure that there were enough workers to promote industrial development. Su Shun pondered for a while before saying, "The workers obtained through this method cannot be considered cheap labor at all?"

"It is not only cheap labor that can develop industries." Xie Xiuyuan smiled and said, "The shopkeeper didn't seem to have thought of obtaining cheap workers from the beginning."

Sushun said in confusion: "Why is this? Isn't cheap labor more conducive to the rapid development of industry? As far as I know, most of the workers recruited at the beginning of the industry in Shanghai were disaster victims."

Seeing that he kept asking, Jie Xiuyuan took out a cigarette box and lit a cigarette, and then said slowly: "The shopkeeper said that my country's industry started late and its military strength was weak. It was impossible to seize overseas colonies and explore overseas markets like England did. Therefore, it must be based on the domestic market, because our country itself has the largest population in the world.

A large population does not mean a large market. Poor people have no purchasing power, so people must become rich and have strong purchasing power. In this way, our country can become the world's largest market. Even if it is based on the domestic market, our country's industry can develop rapidly."

Speaking of this, he smiled and said, "My country has actually taken a path different from Western countries from the beginning."

After hearing this, Sushun couldn't help but smile: "The prince was afraid he wouldn't have thought that in just 40 years, the Qing Dynasty could already compete with England and Geely, and had enough strength to compete for overseas colonies to explore overseas markets."

Xie Xiuyuan turned his head and looked at him, saying, "The shopkeeper said that as Western countries develop industries one after another, the competition for overseas colonies will inevitably become more and more fierce. Our country must avoid the outbreak of wars for colonies with Western countries in advance."

Su Shun said in surprise: "Is this planning to stop expanding?"

"It should be." Jie Xiuyuan nodded slightly, "For the Qing Dynasty, this time was an extremely rare opportunity to expand in South Africa, but the shopkeeper gave up, obviously he did not intend to continue to expand."

It’s better if you don’t continue to expand, you can live for at least a few years. Sushun leaned back and leaned comfortably on the wooden chair to enjoy the warmth of spring. Yi? After leaving office this year, he will take over the next Prime Minister. This matter is a foregone conclusion. Yishishi promised himself, and there will be no further changes.

However, what can he do after he takes over? He is not Yi? If he cannot show outstanding performance that makes Yi satisfied, he may only be able to serve as one Prime Minister. He also believes that after him, the Prime Minister will no longer have any relationship with the royal family, and will not even have any relationship with the Manchus. Whether it is for himself or the royal family and the Manchus, he should strive for more term.

The spring sunshine is very warm, and it makes people drowsy when shining on his body, but Sushun's eyes are getting brighter and brighter. He already thought of the first fire he had taken office, "Go to the royal palace."

Yi Zhizu was not in the palace, but accompanied Huang Dianyuan to Baoshan. Along the way, more and more familiar people around him disappeared into the long river of history, and he left many regrets.

He knew very well that Huang Dianyuan's body was getting worse and worse. This time he came to Shanghai was most likely to meet him for the last time. He wanted to take time to walk with him more, so as not to leave any regrets.

For Shanghai, Baoshan is actually an industrial zone. This is a long-planned by Yi Zhizu. After 40 years of continuous development, Baoshan has become the largest and most concentrated industrial zone in the Qing Dynasty, and is now faintly connected to Shanghai.

In the back of the sedan, looking at the large number of factories, forest chimneys, endless carriages, chariots, manpower trolleys and bustling crowds, Huang Dianyuan said with emotion: "When Guocheng first served as the Shanghai Road Platform, this place was still deserted. Who would have thought that it would become like this now?"

Hearing this, Yan Shikuan, who was sitting in the front row, turned around and smiled, "President Huang doesn't know. As soon as the shopkeeper arrived in Shanghai, he transferred funds to buy all the fields from Shanghai to Baoshan and even the deserted beaches. At that time, we all thought he was crazy. Later, we made a lot of money by selling the land."
