Chapter 109 There is so much money in the Ministry of Industry
The second minister of the Military Aircraft Department, intends to be promoted to the former governor of Shandong, and now the newly promoted minister of war, the governor of the river, Wang Zaijin.
Wang Zaijin? Minister of War, Governor of the River?
The three of them were thoughtful as soon as they heard it.
Hong Chengchou thought quickly in his mind: "It seems that after the reform of the military forces around the capital, the next step will not necessarily be to move the Nine Borders, but to focus on Shandong and the Grand Canal... Prioritize the preservation of logistics channels... not to capture the most elite soldiers and horses
?It’s slightly different from what I thought..."
He originally thought that the prince was a bloody man and would be eager to send the reorganized Beijing army to fight in Liaodong.
Yang Sichang is also thinking.
"Wang Zaijin is a neutral person among civil servants who does not engage in partisanship. It seems that the Crown Prince's attitude towards curbing partisanship is very firm. If he is capable and does not engage in partisanship, he will definitely re-employ him..."
He was not as concerned about the military as Hong Chengchou, but he thought more about the direction of the court's politics.
Zhang Weixian was thinking, it seems that Wu Xun’s position in the Military Aircraft Department requires someone who has the ability to get in.
I was originally wondering if the Prince Supervisor of the country wanted to promote a large number of military heroes and meritorious service, but now it seems that this honor must be unique to our British prince~
I’m so happy. I’ve been helping the prince before, and it turned out to be the right thing to do!
The Military Aircraft Department has already negotiated the task of changing the Beijing Camp to the Ming Dynasty Beijing Army, and several people have an idea of the follow-up plan.
In addition, in the entire capital, servants and similar guardians should be abolished. These people can do many things if they come out of the rich families.
Except for those who are guilty, the Military Aircraft Department can also host a selection and then make appropriate arrangements based on the results.
The soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Shuntian Mansion must be thoroughly screened before making a decision.
Next morning, you can take possession of these two powerful units in the capital, so as to avoid being ruled by civil servants outside the palace.
Zhu Youxiao has regained his spirit. From now on, these military powers will be in his own hands. If he wants to leave the palace, he can leave the palace, and if he wants to start an industry, he can choose a site for construction.
It’s really frustrating to be stuck in the palace.
From modern times to the Ming Dynasty, the food and language are all the same as the original Zhu Youxiao's body, so it's easy to say that they were held back in the palace.
You can't inspect the troops and horses in person, let alone engage in industry and come up with some modern scientific and technological "Moist" inventions.
Back to the East Palace again, this time Liu Ruoyu is here.
"Your Royal Highness, the people in the palace have changed. Whether they are Wang An's people or the former Li Xuanshi group, they are all at your mercy."
"Well, I think most of them have no serious faults. They just took too much money over the years. The money they took came from me and my father, so we have to figure it out."
"This slave understands and asks them to hand over all of them."
"By the way, if they spend it, they have to use their family property to offset it. If they give it to others, it's okay if they ask for a bribe and leave. Let them spread the news and get the money back."<
/p>
Liu Ruoyu thought about it, would this spread the news?
"The purpose is to spread the news and let them know that if they take the money, they should work hard, and if they don't work, they will pay it back."
Zhu Youxiao could already imagine how those civil servants, after hearing the news, were happy about his liquidation of eunuchs, but secretly laughed at Qian's eyes.
It’s ridiculous. After plundering the money from those involved in the rebellion, I still have to use the money. I don’t want to do anything else but develop a bunch of “black technology” industries.
The first thing about black technology is not to compete with the people for profit, but to open the eyes of these officials and landlords and tell them what industrial upgrading is.
These guys actually love money more than me, but in a terrible way.
Relying on monopolizing land, relying on family secret recipes, and relying on monopoly technology channels, these old-fashioned methods can only kill your own people and make your own money.
Stop being arrogant and teach them that if they want to make money in the world, they must use real technology and making money from outside is the new trend.
Do you know what an industrial product is? Do you know what a technological explosion is? Do you know what it means to concentrate on doing big things?
Open an eye to the landlords.
Zhu Youxiao is very sure that in the face of interests and humanity, officials, landlords, etc., will still cling to their innocence?
Who is in favor? Who is against?
Those who oppose it should look at the fate of the Donglin Party~
Let’s continue searching the house first and get the money and land first.
……
In the lobby of the Ministry of Industry.
Zhu Chunchen and Zhou Yingqiu were having a passionate affair.
"This! This! And this!"
"What are these... the Chaobai River Project, the renovation of the three main halls, the arms construction list of Wang Gong Factory, the procurement of cotton-padded clothes and armor for the Liao Army..."
The two men dug out a large pile of files, all of which were related to the Ministry of Industry's large-scale engineering and manufacturing procurement in the past five years.
"Isn't this the same as almost all engineering files in recent years? Do you still use this, this, and this to find them like this?"
Zhu Chunchen complained to Zhou Yingqiu, "In the autumn of September, tigers sweat profusely while turning over files.
Zhou Yingqiu said: "Isn't this to exclude the files involving me? There is also Yuan Yingtai, who was newly promoted to the Xuanfu as governor. The projects involving us are clean, and the others are corrupt!"
In fact, Yuan Yingtai is not greedy. He served as the county magistrate to repair the Zhangshui River and the Qinshui River, and also served as the director of the Ministry of Industry in charge of some water conservancy. He has always been known for his integrity.
Regarding Yuan Yingtai's flood control, he really couldn't do anything even if he wanted to.
Maybe in the future, when he becomes a more powerful official, he may not be as insistent on integrity as he was at the beginning, but now there is no need to check him when checking past project funds from the Ministry of Works.
And Zhou Yingqiu himself, who was in charge of the warehouse and Lao Wei, was like a "crouching dragon and phoenix chick". When he gained weight, he lost weight and the state treasury was lost.
After a comprehensive investigation, you will be the first to die.
But this does not prevent him from cooperating with Zhu Chunchen to investigate other people~
"For example, in the Chaobai River project, there is a lot of oil and water here. The food given to the river construction craftsmen is only porridge, and the river stones all look good on the surface, but in fact they break when smashed."
"The stone will break as soon as it is hit?"
"That's right, the water for the project is very deep. The stones on the river channel look very good, but they are like powder inside."
Zhou Yingqiu slapped his head: "By the way, Duke Cheng Guo, if you don't know anything else, you must know about the cotton-padded clothes and armor of the Liao army, right?"
"Well, I heard that they are all purchased and supervised by the Ministry of Industry."
"They are all the cheapest goods. The iron of the iron helmet is as thin as paper, and there is rust inside. Cotton-padded clothes... it is not new for soldiers and horses to rot cotton-padded clothes."
Zhou Yingqiu took out all these project procurements. There was too much oil and water in them. One Wang Zuo could make hundreds of thousands of taels in less than a year. The sum added up in the past few years was simply astronomical.
"No wonder!"
Zhu Chunchen was shocked. No wonder Yan Shifan, who was cunning and invincible at that time, left the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which was in charge of the world's officials, to accept his orders. Instead of going to the Ministry of War, which had military power, he had to go to the Ministry of Industry...
If this is done greedily, the efficiency will be much higher than if the officials take filial piety money, or the Ministry of War and generals take military pay on an empty basis.
However, this is not the biggest.
Most other project procurements are one-time, and it’s over after just one purchase.
The Ordnance Bureau and its affiliated armor factory, Wang Gong Factory, have experienced a decline in officialdom since Hongzhi, supervision has been relaxed, corruption and extortion have become common, and craftsmen have even taken on private jobs to make a living.
The Ministry of Industry in the middle and late Wanli period did not know how much money they made from it.
