Mystery Makes Me Strong

The imperial court's finances are still sufficient for the development of industry.

But to import armaments, there is not enough money to spend.

As soon as the cannon is fired, ten thousand taels of gold.

The equipment exported to you by the other party has to include the labor price + material price, plus freight, and the monopoly profit, which is often several times or even dozens of times the profit. How many battles can you support just by buying?

What's more, during the war, the difficulty of transportation rose sharply. Three copies were shipped, and two copies had to be sunk.

In the feudal era, it was still possible to fight wars by buying weapons, but in the industrial age it was absolutely impossible.

Without self-manufacturing ability and own industrial system, no matter how much money you allocate, it will not be able to support modern warfare.

The capable people in the court quickly saw through this.

Even if the Qing Dynasty wanted to establish a Tongzhi ZTE, let alone the Dacheng court, which was in a prosperous age and had sufficient financial resources?

As a result, plans to build arsenals, build private factories, and introduce steam engines began to unfold.

Two years passed.

The factory built a lot, and problems also appeared.

The government-run factories are shoddy, and the more they build, the more they lose. The navy and army have found that the cost is higher than the purchase...

This is also playing with wool!

After the report went up, Lu Zhi came from a modern person anyway, and he could still hear his heartfelt voice.

The government-run factories and guns and ships are all paid for by the imperial court. They have no market pressure and can just make up the numbers. After dealing with inexperienced officials, they cut corners and cut corners to keep the money and return it to their own hands.

If it weren't for the Fountain of Youth's total silver recovery, the losses of those hundreds of factories alone would be enough to bankrupt the court.

"All government-run arsenals have been converted into private ones, and the Ministry of War mainly focuses on procurement bidding." She said directly.

"No, the Queen Mother. This is an important military weapon. How can it be in the hands of ordinary people? If someone uses it to rebel, isn't it fatal?" The important ministers unanimously advised.

Lu Zhi disdains.

The former McCann was also a private arsenal, so why didn't they worry that someone would use it to rebel?

That's right, the money spent by the rebellion can be used to run for the president dozens of times, so as long as the rebel leader is not a sand sculpture, he will choose to run for office instead of buying weapons with money and then going to war...

After she figured this out, she knew why the important ministers were worried about the rebellion of the people.

Because their position is to stand with themselves, not with the people. Although they usually provide disaster relief, they are still mainly deceiving.

So they fear the people.

Is she afraid?

Looking at the fur ball in his arms, it seems that there is no need to be afraid?

"It's okay, send more Xuanyi guards to the factory, on the one hand to monitor the production flow, and on the other hand to prevent leaks." Lu Zhi decided.

However, she soon discovered that this was still not enough...

"Queen Mother, many private factories are no longer operating. They say they can't resist the extortion and apportionment of those local officials..." Huang Xiong VI, Minister of the Household Department, reported in secret.

"Damn it, these bastards can't see silver in their red eyes. I issue my order that all arsenals will be exempted from apportionment. Anyone who blackmails them will be executed immediately!" Lu Zhi continued.

It still doesn't work.

There is less extortion, but the collusion of factory owners with purchasing personnel has become a big problem again.

How hard is it to put effort into innovating weapons, how easy is it to spend money to treat a meal and get a relationship with a woman?

Bad money drives out good money, everyone does it.

The warship was built, but it split in two as soon as it was launched into the water... More than 30 sailors who tested the water were drowned.

Wen Rensheng shook his head helplessly when he saw this scene on the shore.

This has the demeanor of the third brother in the previous life.

In a feudal society, the lower limit was very low.

The reason for all this is very simple. Thoughts are imprisoned, people have no fundamental protection of rights, and they only do things for the immediate. Everyone does not have a unified centripetal force and has always been in a state of division.

In feudal rule, the superiors are most afraid of the people below uniting, because in that case, their status obtained by deception will be unstable.

They hope that the lower levels will fall apart, so they engage in all kinds of checks and balances, all kinds of checks and balances, and use the small to control the big...

The basis of the industrial revolution is ideological enlightenment, and industry needs industrial thinking.

Proceeding from reality, develop in strict accordance with the thinking that can be replicated, expanded, innovated and competed.

If you want to have this kind of thinking, you must make everyone feel at ease, and be able to ensure that your wealth will not be plundered.

Lu Zhi couldn't figure it out.

It takes stronger and better people to see through all this.

The current Dacheng Dynasty is roughly equivalent to the civilized version + financially affluent version of the previous Daming.

It is much better than the Qing Dynasty, but many stubborn problems still cannot be solved.

Because of Lu Zhi's own reasons, it was impossible for him to undergo a thorough renewal, and without a thorough renewal, it would be impossible for the Dacheng Dynasty to rejuvenate.

In the previous life, the Qing Dynasty built many factories, but in the end they didn't even have the ability to repair them.

It is because officials develop factories for the purpose of doing business, not for the common people, not for prosperity.

If the goal is wrong, the more you do it, the more deviation you will have.

…………

Lu Zhi was stunned.

She felt powerless, she was overwhelmed, and the complexity of the industrial age was tens of thousands of times that of the agricultural age, far exceeding the processing capacity of the feudal monarch.

"Tuantuan, what should I do?" She rubbed the round dumpling vigorously and asked patiently.

Finally, it is no longer called a fur ball.

Maoqiu thought resentfully, and then hurriedly said: "I said earlier that you have conflicts. You want to be quiet, and you want to revolutionize the government and the public. How is this possible? When people are enlightened, they will think wildly, and all kinds of filth will appear. Without civilization, it is impossible to develop a good industry."

"Isn't it possible to develop industries without being enlightened? Before reincarnating here, Dongdao was also a feudal court, and there were many factories that strive for excellence." Lu Zhi dissatisfied.

"That's true, but their method is to give a few chaebols and aristocratic families the rights of the industrialization era, let them share the government and lead industrialization." Maoqiu understands it very well.

"Then let's do it like this." Lu Zhi felt that he could still control a few chaebols, but it was impossible for him to endure an overly civilized society.

"Well, you actually have the reincarnation fantasy I gave you. It is very simple to create a chaebol. It has already taken shape, but they still lack political rights and lack of protection for their own wealth, so it is difficult to seriously develop industrialization." Mao The ball can be seen at the root at a glance.

Without the power of the government, the transformation of the plutocrats will not be successful.

A big landlord is still a big landlord, a businessman is still a businessman, and cannot become a plutocrat.

"What should I do?"

"Split the existing factory system, cultivate different chaebols according to the system, and sell them at a low price. At the same time, change the imperial examination system, make the imperial examination a tool for selecting officials, and set up local councils to facilitate the entry of chaebols... Anyway, they earn more You can recycle as many as you want." Furball threw out a rough innovation plan with a lot of feudal remnants.

"Use it and see."

"If it's useful, can you let me go?"

Another knife.
