Chapter 481 Industrialization

Fortunately, Zhu Cixuan has recently been in contact with many chambers of commerce in Jiangnan for foreign trade licenses.

Moreover, with the popularization and application of new technologies and new looms, the desire to scale the textile industry is becoming stronger and stronger.

In fact, before Zhu Cixuan, many Jiangnan workshops had gradually moved towards factory operations, which is what the history books say, "The weaver does the machine, and the weaver does the work."

Many bankrupt farmers, weavers who have no money to buy looms, and those who want to save trouble will choose such workshops to weave cloth.

These large weaver workshops have already hired hundreds or thousands of people at the same time.

However, without advanced theoretical guidance, everything is moving forward through exploration, so both efficiency and management are still very chaotic.

Moreover, these workshops gather machines together, and the weavers are still doing their own work, but they are just working from working at home to working together now.

Therefore, the production efficiency is not much higher. Not only is the production efficiency not high, but as the scale expands, the efficiency will be reduced due to the bloated mechanism.

In addition to being more efficient, the textile machinery improved by the Royal Laboratory of the Ming Dynasty has higher requirements for people's concentration.

For example, in the past, one person could only spin one thread, so she could get the material at any time. Now she would spin ten threads at once, and when one of them was short of material, she would get it, and most of the time would be spent on these trivial matters.

Simply put, large-scale production must promote large division of labor. The reason why factory production is more efficient is actually time management.

Calculate the time and labor of each step accurately, and then arrange the right person to do it, so that people can maximize their efficiency.

These are not difficult things for Zhu Cilang. There is a special classification in statistics, "Industrial Statistics".

Industrial statistics include: industrial labor statistics, which mainly include statistics on the quantity, composition, labor time usage, labor productivity, labor remuneration and labor insurance benefits.

Industrial equipment statistics mainly include statistics on industrial production equipment, industrial power equipment and industrial product production capacity.

In order to write a paper, Zhu Cixuan had been to several factories to "work and study".

Although Zhu Ciyang has not learned about the so-called factory management and factory management, he has never eaten pork. Haven’t he seen pigs running yet?

Even if there are loopholes in the initial design, just slowly improve it.

Zhu Cixuan felt that if he wanted to stabilize the sales of silk cotton, it would become urgent to establish a demonstration factory.

Industrial production efficiency increases and demand for raw materials increases, which will naturally lead to a rise in raw material prices.

The high efficiency of industrial production reduces costs, so that the price of cloth will not increase.

Of course, the ones who suffer from this may be those retail investors who only have one or a few looms, but industrial production will naturally create new jobs.

Since textiles at home are not cost-effective, you can also find work in the factory.

Although some people have suffered losses in their interests, this is a historical necessity.

It is better to change yourself now than to use artillery fire to open the country's doors and force everyone to make changes.

If industrialization began in the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty's goods would be sold to the whole world in the future.

Although everyone suffers some losses in the short term, in the long run, after taking advantage of development dividends and earning money from the whole world, everyone's income will definitely increase.

So if industrialization is an inevitable future, it is better to open this door from the Ming Dynasty.

After thinking it through, Zhu Cixuan wrote this plan on paper.

Then continue to think of the third suggestion to kill people.

The investigation of fraud in the imperial examination is just a reason. Sai Bowen's meaning should be to control the imperial examination in Jiangnan and give those who are the princes the opportunity to stand out.

This is indeed a good idea. Zhu Cilang has never seen these scholars who speak of benevolence, righteousness and morality. "The water is too cold" and "itting scalp" are not individual phenomena.

Qian Qianyi has left his reputation in history. How can other surrendered people who shave their hair and change their clothes be ignored? It’s just that Qian Qianyi is famous and has a high official position.

Just like Zhu Cixuan's new army is now under the influence of Jiangnan, these people are not afraid to let go of each one, and they only dare to run to the capital to talk to Chongzhen.

So Zhu Cixuan believed that as long as he dared to set questions, the literati below would dare to take the exam. As long as Zhu Cixuan issued them a certificate and had legal effect, they would dare to help Zhu Cixuan wave the flag and shout.

Of course, Zhu Cilang is not just asking for this. The eight-legged essay has his good side and his bad side.

Zhu Cilang still wanted these officials to learn more practical knowledge, rather than a group of sour scholars who only know it.

Not to mention anything else, you must know how to do basic calculations. Otherwise, if you become an official, you will be fooled by the people below and you will not know how much tax you will be collected and how much grain you will be paid in a year.

Second, you should be proficient in the law of punishment. Local officials often have the responsibility to investigate cases. You don’t even know the Daming Law. What a big deal to do?

Moreover, there are many jobs in the Ming Dynasty officials besides filing cases.

On TV, we often see ancient magistrates who were promoted to court to make a case. Moreover, the magistrates seem to have nothing to do except to make a case. Is this really the case? Of course not.

The magistrate is the highest commander of a county and is in charge of the government affairs of a county. How could he make a case every day and have nothing to do?

There were 1,171 counties in the Ming Dynasty, each county had one magistrate, one magistrate, one magistrate, one magistrate, one magistrate, one magistrate, one magistrate, one magistrate, one magistrate, one magistrate. The magistrate's responsibilities are:

Responsible for all taxes and labor service in the county, calculated the actual collection every year, and built the yellow book every ten years to verify the household registration, collect taxes and labor service, and labor service is different from the land and property of the people. Taxes include taxes for money, grain, cloth and various goods. Vessels are strong, labor service, and temporary unfixed labor service are all adjusted and distributed evenly based on the quality of the climate, the rich and loss of real estate, and the poverty and wealth of manpower.

If the year is over and the income is not available, the magistrate must report to the government office or province for exemption. Anyone who supports orphans and elderly people, sacrifices to gods, elects talents, promulgate the orders, commends goodness, subsidizes the poor, inspects baojia, strictly arrests, and obeys lawsuits and sentences to prisons must be dealt with personally. If there is property in the county, you can register for tribute.

The county magistrate and chief clerk were in charge of grain, horses, police and other affairs, and the Dianshi was responsible for receiving and receiving official documents.

So it is impossible to be a good county magistrate if you know how to do eight-legged essays. Therefore, after the late Ming Dynasty, the masters were very popular, which was entirely because these people were stupid in their studies.

In addition to mathematics and criminal law, statistics should be learned. Without statistics, these people can't even read statistics tables as officials, and they can't even do personal statistics, taxes, and corvee arrangements.
