Jia Liu didn't know that his confidants Shuan Zhu and Lao A were strengthening bilateral cooperation with each other, and were still talking with Tianjin officials about their ideals and ambitions, as well as the bright future of the Qing Dynasty.
It was said in vain for a while, but in the end it took a step forward from the first industrial revolution to the second industrial revolution.
It is a leap from mechanization to electrification.
The Tianjin officials were frothing at the mouth, and all of them subconsciously lifted their feet off the ground, because their smart IQs could not keep up with the pace of the Six Emperors.
Xu Shi realized that he was too impatient and always wanted to catch up with the Premier League in a short period of time, ignoring the basic laws of the development of things. Jia Liu quickly stopped this paragraph and then put forward some requirements for the current actual work in order to consolidate the achievements he had finally usurped.
China has another chance to revive.
First of all, as a pilot project for industrial and commercial reform and development, Tianjin must be at the forefront of the country. There is no doubt about this.
As he just said, if the officials in Tianjin do not change their minds, he, the emperor, will change their lives.
How to develop and implement it, please refer to the Diary of the Six Emperors which has been printed and distributed in large quantities on the market.
As well as the industrial and commercial development plan blueprint formulated by the cabinet not long ago.
Even if it is reduced by half, it is enough to make these officials who are the first to eat crabs in the house become a political force that cannot be underestimated in the political arena in the next few decades.
It's no big deal to have a few pavilion elders.
Secondly, Jia Liu proposed that businessmen and people should be allowed to set up freely whether it is industry or commerce.
That is to say, all people should participate, and the government should not set thresholds for all walks of life. As long as there is private demand and there is a market for trade, it can be done.
Of course, aphrodisiac is prohibited.
Nowadays, aphrodisiac has a market all over the Qing Dynasty, and many people, including the princes and nobles of the capital, secretly smoke it.
However, the previous way of eating this thing was to swallow it whole, such as taking the golden elixir. It is said that Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty used this thing to take the golden elixir.
Another option is to mix it with medicine and make a decoction.
These two methods are not easily addictive and are not harmful.
During the Yongzheng period, the method of smoking by burning the barrel of a gun was introduced to China.
During the Yongzheng period, there was already an opium den in the capital, and smoking this stuff became a trend among the upper echelons of the Eight Banners, so within a few years Yongzheng issued an order to ban it.
It is stipulated that those who engage in peddling will be sent to the border to serve in the army. Those who open opium dens privately to lure the children of good families will be hanged and imprisoned in accordance with the law of misleading people.
According to relevant data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs, during the Yongzheng period, only 300 boxes of afurong were imported for medical use each year.
But over the past few decades, this number must have increased countless times.
Because as long as there is demand, someone will secretly traffic it for huge profits.
There are no official statistics on the specific situation in the Qing Dynasty, and Jia Liu only has some impressions from his past life. It seems that during the Qianlong period, the British East India Company began to sell Indian afurong to China on a large scale in exchange for tea leaves with Chinese merchants.
Since there is no official statistical data, Jia Liu cannot get the exact number of opium imported from the UK to China, but he thinks that opium may have become rampant in the Guangdong and Guangxi areas due to the Thirteenth Bank of China and special markets in Western countries.
Therefore, after the north is unified, it is inevitable to go to Guangdong to eliminate opium.
At this time, the British still do not have the ability to send troops to China.
If he really comes, Jia Liu will definitely welcome him with both hands.
He is well-known as a layman in civil war and an expert in foreign wars.
If the director hadn't dared to film, he would have dared to make all the drug addicts around the world named Jia, make the English cousin a British orphan, and make the French Taoist priest a sick cat under the Eiffel Tower...
Of course, this national participation does not mean that everyone becomes the boss, but allows the people of the Qing Dynasty to find their own position in the development of industrialization and realize their own class leap, or realize the class leap of the next generation.
For example, Jia Liu's parents were farmers in the countryside in his previous life. The two elders worked hard to support Jia Liu and made him a county resident. Jia Liu then used his own efforts to let his children develop in the city; the children then worked hard to let the next generation go there.
No matter how good the place is for development...
It is not impossible to go directly from rural areas to Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Shanghai without going through several stages of development, but after all, it is only one in a thousand and it is not a common phenomenon.
National participation in the comprehensive opening up of the Qing Dynasty was to allow everyone to reap rewards through their own efforts.
Returns vary from high to low.
Of course, rich people use money to become bosses, while those without money can only sell their own labor force, or their own wisdom and technology.
No matter when, it is impossible to have a boss and no part-time workers.
In short, Jia Liu did not set any restrictions. Except for a few prohibited items he designated, such as afurong, etc., he allowed the barbaric production of the rest by the people.
Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes.
The pollution consequences caused by large-scale industries can basically be ignored.
The sheep cannibalism incident occurred in England, and Kyoto and London turned into foggy cities. This was caused by the limited population and land size of Laobiao.
The Qing Dynasty has dozens of times the population and land of England, so you can play whatever you want.
To put it bluntly, even if Jia Liu does not develop the whole country and only develops a certain coastal province, it will be able to compete head-on with Britain and France after industrialization.
This is China’s biggest advantage – so many people!
If the Qing government had not adopted the national policy of preventing the Han from deceiving the people, leading to hundreds of years of wasted time, China would never have fallen behind the world.
If you can't be a super player, you can definitely be one of the strongest players.
"Don't say that if the government does something, we won't let the people do it. If someone does something, you officials should celebrate it, help them find sales, and help them solve their worries..."
For the first time, Jia Liu put forward the concept that the government should serve the people. He believed that the salaries of officials came from the people, and the operating funds of the government also came from the people, rather than the economic value that the officials and the government themselves could generate.
Therefore, if you want to make the government rich, you must make the people rich first. Only when the people become rich can the government collect more taxes to build various infrastructures, so that these facilities can drive economic development.
With political performance, the official's ability will rise.
A sustainable virtuous cycle.
"When the country is rich, I will definitely give you a salary increase. It will be commonplace for you to be granted the title of marquis or prime minister here."
Jia Liu was so happy that he didn't notice that Xu Ji, the governor of Tianjin who was over fifty years old, was dozing off.
As I get older, staying up late is too much for me.
The officials in their thirties who came to the meeting were all listening intently. Apart from the voice of the Sixth Emperor in the room, the only sound in the room was the sound of "hee hee swish swish" taking notes.
In addition to these young officials being curious about Western things, it is also because they are more eager to progress than the old guys.
Therefore, young people are the greatest driving force for social progress.
Regarding industry specifically, Jia Liu came up with a list and asked his second brother-in-law Gao Delu, who was in charge of the Tianjin Industrial Park, to provide key support.
There are probably steam engines, celestial rulers, telescopes, dragon-tailed carts, phoenix saws, water saws, steamboats, running fires, rotating drums, and gold scales, which translates to rulers, telescopes, and various types of machine-driven equipment.
Transportation, various military and civilian dual-use tools, etc.
The most important thing is the steam engine. Jia Liu knows a little about the principle, but he is not familiar with how to make it.
This list of urgently needed industrial manufacturing supplies was compiled in the hope that the whole country could be mobilized to produce the hardware and software needed for the industrialization of the Qing Dynasty in the form of people's war.
Of course, Jia Liu has asked the Science and Technology Department under the House Committee to collect information in this area. In addition, the House Committee must contact businessmen from various countries who come to China to do business, try to bribe them, instigate rebellion, and infiltrate some Western businessmen who are not firm enough or patriotic enough.
, and then obtained the Western equipment urgently needed by the Qing Dynasty through these merchants.
But having said that, the current awareness of industrialization in Western countries may not be one-tenth of Jia Liu's.
If the money is available, everyone should be willing to sell it.
This is also a systematic project.
Jia Liu's request to the Internal Affairs Committee was that in ten years the Qing Dynasty would have a group of British, French and other chaotic agents.
In Tianjin, it is necessary to establish a translation center and a science and technology museum to strengthen the training and introduction of talents. In addition, it is necessary to build new schools in Tianjin.
At the same time, after the Beiyang trade had formed a large scale and had an impact, it was also necessary to send envoys to Western countries, establish diplomatic relations with these countries, and send ambassadors to each other.
It can be said that how a country goes from being poor to becoming an industrial power, how to go from poor to rich, how to go from backward to powerful, how to go from little sheep to big bad wolf...
Jia Liudu gave a guiding program.
The conversation lasted for more than two hours before it ended. Tianjin officials could hear roosters crowing when they went out.
Looking at His Majesty the Emperor, who had no more circles under his eyes than Prince Xiong, the old man who secretly dozed off dozens of times felt very distressed. His nose was sore and he started to choke.
"Okay, okay, stop pretending, it's not like I didn't see you dozing off just now."
Jia Liu gave Lao A an angry kick and told him to go back to sleep.
This kick made Lao A feel very happy.
He knew that he was no longer stable, but in a good position.
I hurriedly advised the emperor to go to bed quickly.
"How can I have time to sleep? Now I wish I could use one day as two days. Hey, you don't know. I don't have much time. I can live for another eighty years at most. How can this be possible?"
Jia Liu patted his somewhat groggy head, hugged him casually, and found a lot of hair on his palm.
The old man was so shocked that he cried out: "Your Majesty, at such a young age you are about to become a Mediterranean like me!"
"Young Master, running a country is not like running a house where you have to do everything yourself. You can't continue to work for the country and the people like this, otherwise you will be in bad health sooner or later. What will you do to the 300 million people?"
Shuan Zhu was very distressed when he saw this, and advised the young master not to work like this anymore and to rest quickly.
He went to a fellow villager's house to buy two old hens, and then bought a thousand-year-old chicken and stewed them together to supplement the young master's health.
"Yes, eat well when you are busy and drink lightly when you are free. Your ministers are waiting for the affairs of the country. Your Majesty, you can rest assured that you don't have to work so hard on yourself. If you don't feel sorry for yourself, all the ministers will feel sorry for you..."
The old man plucked his eyelids hard, his eyes turned red immediately, he burst into tears and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, you have worked so hard to plan for the country and want to leave a highly developed modern society to our subjects of the Qing Dynasty. I understand your painstaking efforts.
, I also support it, but what have you got, Your Majesty? It’s not worth it, Your Majesty, you should enjoy yourself in time when it’s time to enjoy yourself. Your work will never be finished, Your Majesty!... I’m in Tianjin Red
There is a membership card for romance, how about the emperor and his ministers go and have a romance?..."
"I have long been out of vulgar taste,"
Lao A's proposal failed to arouse Jia Liu's interest at all, and he said melancholy: "What do I need? I don't need anything. As long as everyone in the world remembers my good deeds, I will be satisfied."
"Your Majesty, you must leave something for yourself, right? With such selfless devotion to the country and the people, it would be intolerable to leave nothing behind!"
The old man got too involved in the drama and got a little emotional.
Jia Liu smiled happily: "If there's anything left for me, the most I can do is leave a bank card number after my death."
This is real.
He really planned to leave his bank card number on the tombstone after his death, so that no matter where his subjects were, they could express their respect to the great Six Emperors anytime and anywhere.
