Chapter 643 The Power of Capital

After packing up the food, the little maid Xiaoxue ran to Xia Qingqing's side in a hurry. "Queen, queen, that... that... virtuous king..."

Li Xian didn't come back to eat at noon today, and Xia Qingqing didn't eat either, so she practiced and meditated. Seeing Xiaoxue running in a hurry, she was a little surprised, "What's wrong with King Xian? Is he in danger?"

"No... no... it's... it was King Xian who made a move on that Gu Yue Yuhua, but that Gu Yue Yuhua shyly did not resist."

At that time, the little girl just glanced at it and didn't dare to look at it again. She said it was a bit "deviating from reality".

Xia Qingqing's complexion changed instantly when she heard the words, Xiaoxue stood quietly beside her, waiting for the queen to get angry.

According to the little girl's idea, Li Xian doesn't even have a house-warming maid, obviously the queen "disciplines well". Then, there should be a reward for tipping off like this. In my heart, there was still a little joy.

He was secretly delighted, but Xia Qingqing asked slowly and deeply, "Did you tell anyone about this?"

"No, I saw it and came to report to the queen." Xiaoxue immediately expressed her loyalty.

Xia Qingqing's face suddenly flashed a flash of determination, and instantly blocked Xiaoxue's ability to speak. In Xiaoxue's cuteness, Xia Qingqing said very angrily: "Very good. Come, beat Xiaoxue to death!"

What! ! !

Xiaoxue's eyes stared out, and she tipped off the news herself, how could this be the result! Then there was deep fear, and he looked at Xia Qingqing with pleading eyes.

But at this moment, Xiaoxue saw Xia Qingqing's eyes, but they were cold eyes. That was a high and cold queen, not a sister next door.

Soon, Xiaoxia waited for the maid and came in. Looking at the situation in front of her, Xiaoxia boldly asked, "Queen, what did Xiaoxue do wrong? Can you give Xiaoxue a chance?"

Many little maids also stared in surprise, unable to believe it.

Xiaoxue, who has always been honest, and the queen who has always been like the sister next door, how could such a change suddenly occur?

At this moment, female guards with swords came in again. These female guards were not maidservants, but female warriors who had been on the battlefield. A few female guards came in with wooden sticks.

But these female guards were also a little dazed when they saw the scene in front of them, not knowing what was going on.

Xia Qingqing looked around slowly, and said coldly and arrogantly to those maids, "Did you always treat you well, making you forget your identities!

This is the royal palace, although it is very simple, although there are only a few people, but the royal palace is the royal palace, and the rules cannot be broken.

Be a maid, be a maid, who gave you the right to talk nonsense!

Has no one told you that nonsense is not allowed in court! "

Xiaoxue's tears flowed down her cheeks, and she wanted to tip off the news to get some benefits, but in the end it cost her life. At this moment, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, his forehead was covered with blood.

But Xia Qingqing was determined to pay attention to killing chickens and scaring monkeys. Order the female guard next to him to order again.

Here, Xiaoxia, as the eldest sister among the maids, gritted her teeth and wanted to leave the house, so don't ask the virtuous king for help. But Xia Qingqing let out a cold snort, and the surrounding female guards immediately closed the door.

"Hit!" The captain of the female guard gritted her teeth and ordered. This female guard was someone who was close to Xia Qingqing when she was in the Great Xia Kingdom, so she knew the affairs of the palace very well. At this moment, seeing that Xia Qingqing did not change her mind, she finally gave the order.

Poor Xiaoxue is just a little girl, she lost her breath after a few sticks.

Xia Qingqing said with a cold face: "It's buried, and sent back to her home. I will send you a generous funeral fee."

The female guard carefully asked: "Queen, if Xiaoxue's family asks, how should we answer?"

"Just say bad things about the virtuous king behind his back, in an attempt to disturb the harem."

This is a relatively serious wording, but it is also the most able to block the mouths of Youyou.

The maids around were trembling with fright, seeing Xiaoxue being beaten to death right in front of her, the shock was unimaginable.

Xia Qingqing glanced at the maids around her slowly, "Retire, and remember the lesson. The palace is the palace, if you can't control yourself, you can ask to leave. If you want to stay, you must abide by the rules."

After Xia Qingqing finished speaking, the maids around her frantically left the room like a beast. These little girls don't know that this is not the first time Xia Qingqing has been 'ruthless'. The last time when the Great Xia Kingdom had not fallen, the eldest prince sent Yuan Cai to Anyang to ask for military supplies, but Xia Qingqing sent them away directly.

Looking at the expressions of the maids, Xia Qingqing sighed. Living in the palace of Daxia Kingdom since childhood, Xia Qingqing understood many things and cherished everything in front of her.

As a virtuous king, wanting to find a woman is such a big deal. But... The corners of Xia Qingqing's mouth curled up, there were still some things to fight for.

…………

However, in Ningguo and Changqing counties, Zhang Quan completely imitated Li Xian's development route in just about half a month.

The first large-scale textile factory was established with the large-scale spirit gathering array as the energy source.

Amidst the roar of machines, Ningguo took the first step towards capitalism. Zhang Quan's Xinghuo Liaoyuan Group finally lit its first torch.

On this day, Zhang Quan invited all the people of Ning Kingdom, whether they were emperors and ministers, or ordinary nobles, small businessmen, and even relevant personnel of Confucianism, to visit.

And Li Jihua, a representative of Ningguo Confucianism, the head of the 'Hede Academy', and a great scholar, also led many people from all over the academy to visit.

Thousands of people came, and almost all of Ningguo's high-level officials were here. Ning Xiaolan stood with her mother, and was whispering to her mother, especially about Zhang Quan, industry and capital.

During this period of time, Ning Xiaolan also gained an essential understanding of industry and capital. At this time, he was explaining to the queen: "This is a change in social productivity, and it is also a real and fundamental change, a change that will not stop once it starts."

After hearing this, the queen nodded thoughtfully, but quietly looked at the busy female worker in front of her.

All the on-site textile workers are female workers, and male workers are generally responsible for some relatively rough and heavy work. The entire factory environment is still very simple, but the enthusiasm is soaring to the sky.

Every worker's face is filled with the brilliance of hope.

Emperor Ningguo was also a caring person. Immediately after seeing this, he pointed to a female worker and asked. "What do you think of this job?"

The female worker immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty, this is Zhang Xiangguo's great favor. The little girl used to weave cloth at home, and she could only weave at most three pieces a month, and her actual silver income was only three taels. After removing the cost of silk and linen, the actual silver income was only one tael." Two or three points.

While working here, Zhang Xiangguo distributes 50% of the profits to all our workers. There are 500 copper coins per day allocated to women. You can get 15 taels of silver in January.

And here is also responsible for eating and drinking. My whole family works here, and I can earn more than 40 taels of silver a month. The net income of the past ten years! "

Hiss...Even though Emperor Ningguo was prepared, he still gasped after hearing this number. A simple factory can increase the income of ordinary people by a hundred times!

If ten factories... What if the whole country is a factory...

Well, Emperor Ningguo doesn't know how the economy and capital work yet, but that doesn't stop him from thinking this way. What wealth would it be if a new ruling class were to be formed throughout the country in the form of factories!

With wealth, we can build an army and rob it!

Emperor Ningguo thought so, and the surrounding nobles, officials, and small businessmen even stared at him. The factory is simply a cash cow, anyway, there seems to be no problem for the time being.

Of course, there are also some people who are more discerning, "Zhang Xiangguo, this factory can't always be smooth sailing, right?"

"Free competition, survival of the fittest. Whether it is a country or a market, the fittest always survive." Zhang Quan said, turning to Emperor Ningguo, "Your Majesty, there are three characteristics of industry, commerce and capitalism that must be understood.

The first is technology. For example, the technology of making looms, such as the technology of making wires. Everything in industry is built on technology.

In the future, Zhang Quan intends to establish a talent training institution to train the talents needed by the factory.

The second is capital. To put it bluntly, it is wealth. Wealth is the food and power of industry.

The third is free competition. Only through free competition and survival of the fittest can we ensure the formation of a healthy and positive system across the country.

But at the same time, the state must give some small enterprises and small factories some initial preferential treatment to ensure that they can grow healthily enough to create wealth for the country. Only when these enterprises become "adults" can they be released to compete in the market. "

Emperor Ningguo thought for a while, and finally had no choice but to nod: "Thinking about it makes sense.

I wonder what Xiangguo thinks about the textile industry? planning? Why choose Textile as the first factory to be established? "

"Your Majesty is wise, you can see the key at a glance." Zhang Quan flattered him first, and Emperor Ningguo was immediately happy—does the co-author have any capitalist talents?

After a short pause, Zhang Quancai continued: "Your Majesty, there are three reasons for choosing weaving.

First, basic necessities of life are the four foundations of society, and clothing is the first.

But in fact, traditional textile technology is far from meeting the needs of society. Many people are willing to change a piece of clothing only after ten years, new three years old three years of sewing and mending for three years. What kind of helplessness is this.

On the one hand, the people are not rich, and on the other hand, because there are few clothes, the price is expensive.

And factory textiles can reduce the price of cloth by at least 30%; when the technology is further mature, Chen is confident that the price of cloth can be reduced to half the price or even lower. This will allow people across the country to wear cheaper clothes.

Second, textile technology is the simplest and the easiest technology to connect industrial technology and folk technology. Many folk women workers can go to work immediately after simple training.

Third, because the prevention and control technology is simple and has better popularity. Therefore, the whole country can replicate this model in the shortest possible time. As long as His Majesty makes an imperial decree, Ningguo will be able to complete the initial transformation of capitalism within three months at most. "

Emperor Ningguo was immediately moved.

But at this time, the great scholar Li Jihua objected, "Your Majesty, absolutely not!"
