In the tenth year of the Apocalypse, the telegram has been fully laid in the north, and it has also been laid in Jiangnan and coastal provinces. Cross-sea cables have also been laid everywhere, all the way to Nanyang, Indochina Peninsula and Australia.&1t;/p>

The laying of these telegram lines costs a lot of money. But overall, the cost is not high, and the investment is much lower than that of building highways and railways.&1t;/p>

Among them, except for some overseas colonies in the new provinces, telegrams have been laid in various prefectures and counties.&1t;/p>

The telegraph network has been formed, and the court has also begun to discuss the opening of telegraphs for civil use.&1t;/p>

The court officials have a more conservative concept, believing that telegraphs are the magical artifacts of the country and cannot be easily opened to civilian use. However, some officials also believe that opening to civil use is of great significance.&1t;/p>

"If telegraphs are open to civilian use, the degree of transmission of private information can be greatly improved, and the court can also recover investment costs by operating telegraph business. If it is only for official use, it will waste a lot of resources." Jiang Dejing is one of the officials who support telegraph civil use. He suggested: "If you are worried that private capital involves commercial competition, it is better to postpone the telegraph business for a few hours."&1t;/p>

"What do you guys think?" Zhu You proofread the ministers and asked.&1t;/p>

After hearing what Jiang Dejing said, it seems that the same thing happened. If it is not open to civilian use, it is mainly because the official telegraph is now used to have great commercial interests. The state-owned capital consortium now relies on the telegraph's information transmission level to operate in various provinces and earns high profits by seizing the price difference of goods.&1t;/p>

"What Lord Jiang said is not without reason. If a businessman who responds to the call of the court to go to other countries to operate a business abroad is thousands of miles away from his local area. If there is no telegram communication, there will be no news for years. If the telegram business can be opened, he and his family can communicate from time to time."&1t;/p>

"I'm going to discuss it."&1t;/p>

Opening civilians has great benefits, which can increase the fiscal revenue of the court and accelerate economic development. After the ministers figured out this principle, they naturally had no reason to object, and they followed suit.&1t;/p>

"Okay. Since all my dear friends think this method is feasible, they will open the telegrams for civil use and the charges should not be too high." Zhu Youxiao immediately decided.&1t;/p>

In July of the tenth year of the Tianqi revelation, the Daming Post Bureau was renamed the Post and Telecommunications Bureau. It officially opened for telecommunications and civil use.&1t;/p>

Although the telegram appeared before, there was no report in the newspaper. This thing is a bit like the "black technology" of the imperial court, and it has been hidden for several years.&1t;/p>

Although many people in the people know about telegrams, they cannot understand them in depth. They are also confused and only know that this thing can quickly convey information, but they are completely unaware of its working principle, etc.&1t;/p>

Now that the telegraph business is open, the telegraph has also appeared on newspapers. Only then did the general public generally know that there are telegraphs.&1t;/p>

The emergence of the telegram immediately shocked the entire Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

People at that time said: "Skillful and craftsmanship!"

Many private people have recorded the emergence of telegrams in their own unofficial history. China is a country that is good at recording history. Whenever there is anything, whether it is official or private, many people have written to record it.&1t;/p>

On the contrary, the Europeans are good at destroying history. After the Europeans fell into the dark medieval period, they basically only had religious history. What happened to be born in the European 6th period before? These Europeans themselves were confused and had to guess many things. Most of the history of ancient Greece and ancient Rome were also conjectures, and there were no complete historical materials and documents.&1t;/p>

The history after ancient Greece and Roman civilizations, as well as before the Dark Middle Ages, was even more vague, and historical materials were basically burned by religion.&1t;/p>

This is also the reason why Europeans have not made much progress over the past few thousand years. They have no history to learn from and are still in the stage of blind exploration.&1t;/p>

At this time, it was very popular among the people of the Ming Dynasty to record various events.&1t;/p>

The emergence of telegram is indeed a big event.&1t;/p>

The reform of the station has also entered a fast stage. In any areas that have been covered by the telegram network, the station has undergone reform.&1t;/p>

The reformed post station was only responsible for passenger transport and food and accommodation, and was no longer responsible for the transmission of information. The abolition post station was assigned to the post office and became postmen. Responsible for delivering letters and telegrams at the local level.&1t;/p>

The implementation of the postal and telecommunications system in the new provinces was relatively smooth. The official numbered the residents of each street and stamped them at the same time.&1t;/p>

The delivery of private letters has become very convenient. As long as you know the address of the recipient, buy a stamp and paste it on it, and then put it into the mailbox.&1t;/p>

All prefectures and counties have also determined the postal code. If you don’t know how much stamps you want to post and don’t know the postal code, you can go to the Post and Telecommunications Bureau to inquire.&1t;/p>

If there is an urgent matter, you can go to the Post and Telecommunications Bureau to telegraph.&1t;/p>

The Postal Bureau adopted a policy of postponing the delivery of half an hour for the private telegraph business. Half an hour is equivalent to one hour.&1t;/p>

This means that the information transmission of private capital is equivalent to receiving the same information in one hour than the state-owned capital consortium.&1t;/p>

Moreover, the intelligence network of state-owned consortiums has been laid out in various provinces across the country. The intelligence is very comprehensive and can still gain rich commercial benefits.&1t;/p>

The monopoly of capital over the market is not only a monopoly in terms of channels, but also a monopoly in information. For ordinary people, they do not need to know so much, and most valuable information is monopolized.&1t;/p>

Such monopoly is a very serious phenomenon in later generations, and information also means wealth.&1t;/p>

In order to occupy a dominant position in the market, inherent capital consortiums must monopolize some information, or obtain information faster than others.&1t;/p>

The most direct thing is the operation of the stock market. In essence, the stock market is a casino recognized by the state. The state-owned capital consortium is a big dealer in the stock market. It has various good cards and can make sure to make a profit and not lose money.&1t;/p>

Of course, at this time, the greater role of the securities trading market in Beijing was financing. After all, there was not so much foreign capital pouring into the stock market in Beijing. The state-owned capital consortium did not slaughter private funds, but maintained the stability of the stock market.&1t;/p>

Major state-owned enterprises also sell stocks in the securities trading market, which does not affect the market monopoly position of state-owned enterprises.&1t;/p>

Anyway, the court decides how much dividends these state-owned enterprises pay to shareholders. If the tax rate increases, the dividends will be less. If the raw material prices increase, the dividends will be less. If the profits paid to the state increase, the dividends will be less.

Currently, the dividends for investing in state-owned enterprises usually remain at a level of 6 to 1o, which is much higher than the deposit of money in banks. Some state-owned enterprises sometimes have dividends of up to 15, but the maximum will not exceed 15.&1t;/p>

The stock market has become an important channel for the court to absorb idle funds from the people, thus allowing funds to operate and capital utilization to increase. The economic development will be faster.&1t;/p>

In recent years, many rich people have begun to lose their lives. They can’t get rid of rent when they sit at home. Now the more land of the landlord class, the more tax they pay. Only agricultural companies can be established for commercial operation. Only high tax rates can be avoided. However, if you operate it yourself, the labor costs will increase, and agricultural production technology must be improved, agricultural machinery and water conservancy facilities must be built. If you encounter natural disasters or something, the court does not care about these agricultural companies, and the bank will go bankrupt and the bank will merge these lands, which will pose a certain risk.&1t;/p>

At the same time, because of the banknotes, many people have realized that the money is becoming less valuable in the new policy province, and the purchasing power is beginning to decrease. Those groups who have a lot of money at home and rely on their parents all day long. If this continues, it will not take many years to lose money.&1t;/p>

There is only one way to get out of the predicament, that is, invest, and increase your assets. Many people have begun to industrialize capital and invest money in industrial operations to seek a stable income channel and a way to preserve wealth.&1t;/p>

If you don’t know how to invest in the industry, investing in stocks is undoubtedly a good way.&1t;/p>

Those small and medium-sized capital businessmen who know how to invest and start businesses also rose up after the reform of the new policy. Moreover, their social status was officially recognized by the court.&1t;/p>

Nowadays, merchants are no longer considered low-ranking groups in the New Deal. Although such changes have aroused opposition from some stubborn groups, even if the court does not formally recognize the social status of these merchants, these merchants themselves already have a high social status.&1t;/p>

The court attaches importance to business, encourages business, and pays close attention to economic development, which has become a trend in the new policy areas.&1t;/p>

There are naturally many benefits, people's livelihood has been improved, and food and clothing have been realized. However, problems have also emerged. That is, the gap between the rich and the poor in society has further expanded.&1t;/p>

This is an inevitable phenomenon in the industrial age. A small number controls most of the country's wealth. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty's system now has state-owned capital dominant, and the country has money to protect the people's basic right to survival.&1t;/p>

In general, compared with the chaotic local situation in the past and the environment where people starve to death by any natural disaster, it has improved a lot.&1t;/p>

The basic wages of workers in the new policy area in the tenth year of the Tianqi period have increased to more than 2 yuan per month, both male and female workers. However, due to the different exhibition status, the wages of young and strong laborers in different provinces are different. In Beizhili, a young and strong worker working on a construction site and dock, the wages of young and strong laborers in one month have increased to about 6 yuan, while in Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi provinces, the wages of young and strong laborers are only about 4 yuan.&1t;/p>

However, the consumption level of provinces is also relatively high. In general, the purchasing power in food and other aspects is similar, that is, the purchasing power in industrial commodities is different.&1t;/p>

Now in Dazhou, workers' wage growth has fallen into a bottleneck state, and wage growth has begun to slow down.&1t;/p>

This is mainly because overseas markets have begun to expand, and industrial production capacity is still limited.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty commodities began to be exported to overseas large quantities, earning precious metals overseas. If the wages were too high, it would increase the production cost and make the export of goods lose competitiveness. Of course, because of the improvement of productivity, the competitiveness of goods was mainly given by production technology, and wages had increased a lot compared to the past.&1t;/p>

To put it bluntly, the business is good. There is no need to further increase internal purchasing power to digest the production capacity of the commodity, and the commodity will not have to worry about sales.&1t;/p>

The Ming Dynasty is currently in a state of plundering precious metals from the outside, so naturally this is the state of being in this state. People’s wages cannot be raised for the time being, while capitalists make a lot of oil through plundering precious metals from the outside.&1t;/p>

The most profitable thing is that the state-owned capital consortium has made huge profits through overseas trade and seized a large amount of precious metals.&1t;/p>

On the other hand, the situation is relatively stable now. The state-owned capital consortium has money and can continuously carry out various construction activities. The people earn wages by participating in these construction activities. The scale of their jobs is stable. Although the people's income is not high, the income is stable. The market also seems very prosperous. The people are busy and fulfilling.&1t;/p>

A large number of workers flocked to towns, which also caused the real estate market to explode.&1t;/p>

State-owned capital consortiums have become the main force in real estate development. Because purchasing real estate opened by state-owned enterprises can be paid in installments, state-owned capital has dominated the real estate market.&1t;/p>

Because of the market development, state-owned capital still requires a large amount of funds to digest the internal market. The real estate market is a project that must be digested, so that wealth will not flow into the hands of private businessmen in large quantities, causing the emergence of some large-scale capital businessmen.&1t;/p>

With strong funds, several state-owned real estate companies hoarded a large amount of land, purchased shops, etc. in major cities.&1t;/p>

Open residential buildings in the community and build high-end villas and ordinary residential buildings.&1t;/p>

The state-owned capital consortium has the best facilities in residential areas, including locations, designs and greening. At the same time, water companies have also appeared to supply water to these residential areas.&1t;/p>

There is no complicated technology for tap water, that is, laying water pipes, considering the water pressure issue, and then building a reservoir.&1t;/p>

The reservoir is a part of the water conservancy project, providing irrigation and quoting water.&1t;/p>

At the same time, these residential areas also have septic tanks, and residents can choose to install squat toilets or toilets, without having to pour the toilet every morning like traditional residential buildings.&1t;/p>

After feces enter the septic tank through the pipe, they will settle into sludge. The sludge will be regularly extracted and transported away with a steam engine.&1t;/p>

These houses include small apartments, as well as large apartments and villas built for families who have lived together for generations. After these residential buildings were opened, they were all popular in the market.&1t;/p>

Ordinary private businessmen do not have such ability to open, because they are difficult to deal with land acquisition.&1t;/p>

The land in the Ming Dynasty is private, and many people are unwilling to sell real estate.    36o search                                              �

However, state-owned real estate companies can handle the land acquisition. When land acquisition is acquired, the local authorities will come forward to solve the problem, and the land acquisition compensation is sufficient. When encountering some nail households, the official will directly dispatch the armed police to carry out forced demolition.&1t;/p>

At the same time, tap water companies and septic tanks are new products. The advancement of technology will cause new demand in the market and create new imbalances, and the economy will develop accordingly.&1t;/p>

There is demand in the market, and the business is naturally very good.&1t;/p>

By opening real estate, state-owned real estate companies have very considerable profits.&1t;/p>

Private real estate businessmen make profits by building ordinary private houses, but these private houses cannot be paid in installments and their competitiveness is not as good as state-owned real estate companies.&1t;/p>

Moreover, cities are constantly expanding, and suburbs will become urban areas. For the hoarding of suburb land, those private businessmen are not as large as state-owned real estate companies. Moreover, state-owned capital knows the development plans and potential of each city, and the data information is the most comprehensive. It can layout in cities with huge potential in advance and purchase large amounts of suburb land.&1t;/p>

Those private enterprises are more likely to follow state-owned real estate companies to undertake various businesses and make money, but they are not so profitable.&1t;/p>
