Chapter 504: Crossing the River by Following Yan Hua's Tail

One month later.

Simon Gu.

Choros department.

Next to an open cast iron mine.

The sound of hammering nails could be heard constantly coming from a large factory building.

Black smoke billowed from the factory building.

Next to the wooden fence outside the factory, Mongolian infantry and cavalry were arrayed for patrol and protection.

Ta-ta-ta...

When the sound of horse hooves and waves of dust appear in the distance.

Woo woo woo...

The patrolling Mongolian cavalry blew the horn immediately.

After a while, a group of cavalry escorted several men wearing similar new Yanhua clothing but wearing traditional Mongolian hair accessories.

The patrolling Mongolian cavalry released their alert after seeing the people in the team.

The three leaders of Ximengu, headed by Mahamu, Taiping, and Batu Polo, under the domineering escort of hundreds of elite cavalry, rode their horses into the "camp" surrounding the city.

Mahamu turned over and dismounted.

He threw the riding whip to his entourage and asked loudly: "Where are you having fun?"

"Father!"

Inside the factory, a young and middle-aged man wearing Mongolian robes walked out.

Mahamu frowned at the slutty outfit and snatched the riding crop that he had just thrown to his entourage.

Snapped!

The whip continued to beat Tu Huan hard, "Who asked you to continue wearing the robe? Now, what I, the head of the Cholos family, said has no effect!"

Bang bang bang...

While Mahamu was cursing, the whip in his hand did not stop at all, and struck Tuohuan at a faster and heavier speed.

He refused to hide or dodge, gritting his teeth and accepting it, he raised his head stubbornly and shouted: "Father, Mongolian clothing is the tradition of us Mongolians. If we throw away all the Mongolian traditions, are we still Mongolians? Then we might as well be , surrender directly to Yanhua and become a Yanhua person!”

"Okay, okay..."

Mahamu gasped...

"Mahamu!"

"If you beat me again, I will kill you!"

…

Taiping and Batu Polo saw that Mahamu was angry with him for righteousness and annihilating his relatives, so they rushed forward, hugged Mahamu and persuaded him.

"Let me go, let me go! If we Mongolians continue to stalemate, we will be abandoned by this era sooner or later!"

…

Mahamu struggled fiercely and shouted angrily.

After breaking away from the two Taipings, they turned around and looked at them angrily. Like him, they were wearing Yanhua-style, separate new clothes.

It’s just that the grassland has no canvas.

Taiping's clothes looked baggy.

He said angrily and anxiously: "I know, in fact, you are also opposed to me changing Mongolian traditions in your heart..."

It's just that these two people are the superior ones after all.

"But you have never lived in Yanhua, and you have not witnessed the rapid changes in Yanhua with your own eyes. Some outdated traditions must be changed."

"Let's just say that if we still stick to our traditional Mongolian robes, the workers in the factory will be restricted by the clothes and will not be able to maximize production efficiency..."

…

Mahamu roared in anger and anxiety for a long time before his inner fire gradually subsided.

His tone softened slightly, he turned his head and glared fiercely, with several bloody marks on his face, "As the upper echelons of Mongolia, if we want the people below to adapt to the new changes, we ourselves must first set an example. Zhu Di has a saying It’s very good. Most folk customs and fashions are promoted by the elite, and the people below have always imitated the elite!”

…

"If I see you wearing a robe again, even if you are my son, I will kill you for the future of Mongolia!"

After leaving a harsh word at the end.

Mahamu walked into the factory with a dark face.

Under the urging of Taiping and Baotupolo, Tuohuan hurriedly followed.

When Mahamu stepped into the factory, a wave of heat hit his face.

A preheating furnace that only emits heat waves is placed next to the foot-operated machine tools.

This is the hottest, driest and unbearable time of the year on the grasslands.

In a semi-enclosed factory building.

But there are more than a dozen stoves emitting high temperatures.

Taiping and Baltu Polo frowned instantly.

However, Mahamu felt very comfortable. For a moment, he seemed to be back at the Yanhua Factory.

A smile appeared on the dark face.

He quickly walked to a pedal machine and watched the craftsman, who had finally taught him how to do it step by step, leading his apprentice to drill a fire blunderbuss tube.

Until the craftsman completes the drilling.

Mahamu then said, "Come on, show me!"

At the same time as the voice sounded, Mahamu was more proficient with machine tools than a craftsman, and he quickly and skillfully removed the blunderbuss tube from the vertical foot-operated machine tool.

Picking it up, he quickly walked to the ventilated window, pointed it at the bright light outside, and checked the barrel. The excited smile on his face gradually became stagnant.

After a while, he put down the gun barrel.

Shaked his head.

"Defective product!"

After commenting, he turned to look at Tuo Huan, "What is the current yield rate?"

Tuo Huan lowered his head in shame and replied in a low voice: "Probably only 50%."

Why!

Mahamu sighed silently, but did not blame Tuohuan. He patted Tuohuan on the shoulder and warned: "Don't be afraid of wasting raw materials. If you can use wasted raw materials to quickly cultivate a group of experts who are proficient in drilling, it is completely worth it. In addition, It’s too few for a craftsman to have one apprentice. A craftsman should have at least ten apprentices.”

"As soon as the apprentices have mastered the drilling technology, we will immediately build a vertical pedal machine and assign them to practice."

As he spoke, Mahamu looked at Taiping and Tuboluo, "Not only do we have few craftsmen, but our skills are also poor, but it doesn't matter. I heard that when King Zhu Di of Yan first started to engage in industry, the yield rate was not high... "

It would be great if he had the convenience of Daming and could get help and guidance from Yanhua technical staff.

It is necessary to teach apprentices and fully formulate various rules for production practice.

Also need those factory technicians from Yanhua.

Those people hold the richest and most complete experience in the entire industrial production practice process.

these experiences.

Even though he worked as a worker in Yanhua, studied secretly for several years, and even provided creative ideas for the invention of the Yanhua steam engine.

Nor does he have the most complete set of experiences.

He still remembered.

The owner of the factory where he once worked, that is, the boss.

When the Ming Dynasty stole and misappropriated the first generation of Yanhua on a large scale, it was already lagging behind in technology.

When this boss sent technical personnel to Fujian for guidance, Niubi Honghong said, "The prince thinks that he can produce if he gets the technology. This idea fully proves that our prince does not understand industry at all. Industry , Technology is very important, but if you want to transform technology into high-quality and affordable products without mastering the complete experience in production, it is just a dream!”

"Look, our prince will definitely regret it one day!"

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case.

When the Yanhua Chamber of Commerce decided to unite to support Fujian businessmen.

The factory owners who stole and misappropriated Yanhua's technology in the Ming Dynasty were quickly suppressed and beaten by the Fujian factory owners.

There was little resistance.

Due to the relationship between Ming Dynasty and Zhu Di, no matter what the prince did.

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang lives, as long as Zhu Xiongying is the grandson of the Ming Dynasty and the future prince.

Zhu Silang would find various ways to support the industrialization of Ming Dynasty.

For example, sending technical personnel to provide guidance.

But they didn't.

You can only cultivate it yourself in this way regardless of the cost.

…

When Mahamu walked out of the factory, he warned: "Remember, workers must be literate. In terms of industrialization, we will follow and follow Yanhua to the letter and cross the river by touching Yanhua."

otherwise.

When Zhu Biao ascends the throne, once he collides with Zhu Di and is frustrated at sea, the Ming Dynasty's military front will most likely turn completely to land.

And, as far as he knew.

Emperor Zhu's idea was to let Yanhua protect Ming's maritime interests while maintaining maritime trade.

The main opponent of the Ming Dynasty was the northern grasslands.

Completely eradicate the threat of nomadic culture to the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Zhu's strategic vision is traceable.

Zhu Silang was sent to sea. After Zhu Silang established a strong armed force at sea, he immediately lifted the sea ban.

At the same time, full support was given to the Mongolian-Han demonstration area left by Zhu Silang when he left the Ming Dynasty.

Once the friction between Zhu Biao and Zhu Di is blocked, it is very likely that the military front will completely turn to the north.

Even if Zhu Biao will not fully implement Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy.

Grandson Zhu Xiongying would do the same.

Industrialization is supported by Yanhua.

Once the Ming Dynasty's military front completely turned north.

What can the grasslands and the Mongols do to compete with the Ming Dynasty?

Now, the only chance left is to get ahead of the Ming Dynasty and complete the industrialization of the Mongols!

Over the years, in Yanhua, he finally understood.

Even if the population is small and the territory is small.

But as long as industrialization is completed.

Not to mention the huge promotion effect of industrialization on the benefits of weapons.

Under industrialization, the mobilization and organizational capabilities are by no means comparable to those of the loose small-scale peasant economy and the nomadic economy.

As Mahamu walked towards the mining area, he said energetically: "Even if we have only a few million people on the grassland, as long as we complete industrialization before the Ming Dynasty, and if Yanhua does not help the Ming Dynasty, we can still do it with hundreds of people." With a population of 10,000, we can recreate the glory of our ancestors and conquer the Central Plains!”

"And what we lack the most on our grasslands are mineral deposits that are easy to mine!"

…

Mahamu said, suddenly laughing loudly.

In the past, the Mongols could not even make an iron pot.

The iron pots became the seven inches of the fate of the grassland, tightly held by the Central Plains dynasty.

Until he went to Yanfan for several years.

I secretly learned Yanhua's prospecting techniques and came back with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

Only then did I discover that in the past thousands of years, the tribes that had risen and fallen on the grasslands had all been sitting on the treasure mountain without knowing it.

On the grassland, there are open-pit coal mines, iron mines, and copper mines that Yanhua cherishes...

Easy to mine.

Good taste!

Easy to smelt!

As long as this treasure mountain can be developed, he is confident that he can compete with the Ming Dynasty without Zhu Silang!

In the future, he will also build factories on the grassland that are powered by steam engines. He has not been able to see them, but has only heard about them!

"That's right." Mahamu turned his head and looked at Taiping and Batu Boluo, "I asked you to search for the noble children under our rule who are familiar with the books of the Central Plains. How is the search going?"

Taiping nodded, "Hundreds of people have been found."

"Okay!" Mahamu happily praised and ordered: "From today on, let them wear the hair ornaments of scholars from the Central Plains and wear the Confucian shirts of scholars from the Central Plains. In the early stage, they will pretend to be stowaways and arrange for a small number of outstanding people to sneak into Yanhua. Go to Yanhua Imperial College to study, and at the same time, collect as much as possible about the Yanhua steam engine production line technology. Even if they can't learn it, they must at least understand what the steam engine production line is..."

Tupolo frowned slightly, "Where are the rest of the people?"

"wait!"

Mahamu only said "wait" and stopped.

There is no explanation for the suspicion and confusion of Taiping people.

He also accidentally heard from his boss that in the near future during the Ming Dynasty, a student movement might erupt, and young scholars would not be able to bear the rotten trend of academic movement.

At that time, these scholars may be persecuted by the conservatives of the Ming Dynasty.

The Yanhua Chamber of Commerce is already assigning tasks.

Once a large number of scholars were persecuted, they fled to Yanhua.

As long as these scholars are willing.

Yanhua's factory should provide learning opportunities for these young scholars who are willing to learn industrial technology.

It is said that the Yanhua Chamber of Commerce did this.

First of all, it was because King Zhu Di of Yan supported his grandson Zhu Xiongying.

Cultivating these fugitive scholars is to cultivate the seeds for the future innovation of Ming Dynasty for Taisun Zhu Xiongying.

Secondly, these people came from the Central Plains after all.

Especially the first generation of Yanhua industrial and commercial owners headed by Shen Zhi.

Like King Zhu Di of Yan, they all have deep feelings for the Ming Dynasty and the Central Plains.

I hope that through personal efforts, I can help Daming embark on the right path.

When.

He asked the prepared group of outstanding Mongolian young men to take advantage of the chaos and pretend to be scholars who fled from Ming Dynasty to Yanhua, and arranged these scholars into Yanhua's factories.

Truly master the steam engine industrial technology.

Before that, what needs to be done is to train a group of industrial workers who are adequate and adaptable to industrialization!

…

Mahamu walked all the way to the edge of the open-pit iron ore pit.

Mules pulled carts of iron ore out of the mine along the steps formed by mining.

A small mine.

Compared to Yanhua, the only open-pit mine in Luzon Province, it is much smaller!

'Not urgent! ’

‘The king of Yan, Zhu Di, also walked step by step like this. As long as I cross the river by touching the tails of Zhu Di and Yanhua, I can’t walk faster than Yanhua, right? As long as I industrialize faster than the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Di does not interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains, I will be invincible. ’

A locust hit Mahamu's forehead and fell to the ground.

Mahamu regained his composure, retracted his gaze from staring at the mine in trance, looked at the locusts jumping away on his toes, and couldn't help but frown slightly, "How is the locust plague? Is it still spreading to the north?"

"Yes." Taiping nodded solemnly, "And the satisfaction is very fast. Even the traitorous tribes north of Yinshan Mountain who have half-allocated to the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone seem to be unable to support themselves. There are already tribes migrating north one after another. , and the tribes to their north are migrating on a large scale.”

"If you ask me, this is a good thing!" Tuohuan sneered: "North of Yinshan Mountain, those tribes who had half-allocated to the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Area are now driven away by locusts and have to leave the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Area..."

"madness!"

Mahamu scolded, turned around and said angrily: "These tribes have already accepted the concept of the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone. Once a large-scale migration to the north occurs, that concept will inevitably spread throughout the north!"

He studied Zhu Di's industrialization.

Although he also appreciates Zhu Di's two concepts.

But not suitable for grasslands.

At least, he couldn't implement it.

Once he does it, Taiping and Batu Polo, who are united around him, will turn against him.

Not to mention, he did not have the power to forcibly defeat all opponents in East and West Mongolia by force.

Even if there is.

He doesn't have time either.

If the internal friction of the war lasts for a long time, the possibility of leading the Ming Dynasty in industrialization will be missed.

Zhu Di once taught classes for factory owners and businessmen in Yanhua.

It describes the theory of rural village cooperatives, the employee-shareholding economic system, the elite economy that exploits workers through full competition, and the monopoly management economy.

Compare the advantages and disadvantages of the three economies.

For businessmen, predict the final results of the three economic developments.

Among them, the control group of the monopoly management economy is the Chen Dynasty.

The fully competitive elite economic control group is the Ming Dynasty.

He still remembered his boss's admiration for King Zhu Di of Yan.

Daming, the control group, has not yet erupted into excessive hidden dangers.

But the Chen Dynasty has already exploded.

Before he left Yanjing, many people from the Chen Dynasty tried every means to sneak into Yanjing.

He judged that the Chen Dynasty must perish!

Even if he did not die at the hands of Zhu Di.

They will also be overthrown by angry people.

Those Yanhua businessmen who accepted the three economic theories of Yan King Zhu Di not only did not envy the other two economic theories.

On the contrary, they are even more supportive of Yanhua’s current economy.

In the words of his former boss: "Now I earn a solid and safe income, and I have no shortage of wealth and glory. All the family members enjoy the respect from the Yanhua court and the appreciation and recognition from the common people. The other two economic theories are just You make a lot of money, but you lose more in other ways! Only a fool would give up greater social status and honor for a bunch of money!”

Zhu Silang is undoubtedly a very, very smart leader.

He doesn't cover up.

Instead, they formed a theory about two economic phenomena that appeared outside Yanhua, broke them apart, crushed them into pieces, analyzed the pros and cons, and taught them to Yanhua businessmen.

In this way, Yanhua merchants not only lost curiosity about these two economic phenomena.

On the contrary, it supports Yanhua’s current economic system even more.

But he could not imitate Zhu Di.

These Mongolian nobles in Taiping, unlike the Yanhua merchants, have already gone through early practice, and their thinking and vision have been very broadened.

He also couldn't explain Zhu Silang's three economic theories well.

It's like talking to a cow to Taiping and others.

The monopoly elite economy was proven to be a failure by the Chen Dynasty.

He would not choose it either.

Now, the only thing left is the elite economy of exploiting workers and fully competing proposed by Zhu Silang in summarizing the economic phenomena of the Ming Dynasty.

He decided to take this path!

At least, the Ming Dynasty is not in trouble now, right?

...

Mahamu collected his thoughts, pondered for a while, and ordered: "Didn't you report a few days ago that the Yanhua rescue team arrived at the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Area? Send people to infiltrate the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Area to see how effective Zhou Chao's biological governance team is. If it's good, we will ask Zhou Chao's team to go to the grassland to help us manage it! Even if we temporarily pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, it's fine!"

He was lurking in Yanhua, just a worker.

Because of his hard work and down-to-earthness, he was appreciated by his boss.

But the most powerful person he could contact was this boss.

He had heard of Zhou Chao's biological research team, but he didn't know the details.

Taiping and his companions were slightly stunned, and then laughed.

Haha...

While laughing, Batu Boluo said: "Mahamu, you think too highly of the students of the King of Yan, don't you? This is a locust plague! This is a punishment from heaven. Not to mention our grasslands, even the Han people in the Central Plains have never heard of human power to stop the punishment from heaven for thousands of years!"

"What if?"

Mahamu suddenly asked back, making all the laughing people quiet down.

Mahamu continued: "Zhu Silang must know that the Ming Dynasty, which is now under the supervision of the crown prince Zhu Biao, has a bad attitude towards Yanhua. At this time, he dared to send his students back, and his students dared to "arrogantly" ask for full disposal rights. I am not sure, this team of master and students dare to do this?"

Batu Boluo nodded solemnly, "Okay, I'll send someone right away!"

...

Zhangbei.

Zhu Biao's northern expedition in the past.

Zhu Di's first town of the new army, the first actual battle site.

Now, it has become the largest fur and meat processing city in the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Area.

In the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Area, high-quality furs and pickled meat products are processed and transported to the Central Plains in trucks.

While reducing the price of meat in the Central Plains, it also enriches the dining tables of the people in the Central Plains.

The people in the Central Plains can bite their teeth and buy some pickled meat products for their families during other festivals besides the Spring Festival.

…

After Zhou Chao, Lan Yu, and Fang Xiaoru arrived in Zhangbei.

While waiting for the chickens to be transported, they let the starlings they brought adapt to the grassland climate as soon as possible.

At the same time, Zhou Chao was also busy investigating the locust plague in the grassland.

Calculate how many chickens to release.

At the same time, find the best place for the starlings to "settle down".

After several days of busy work.

After the preliminary preparations were finally completed.

Fang Xiaoru, Lan Yu, and Zhang Yu invited Zhou Chao's team, as well as the accompanying Jin Douzi, to visit Zhangbei City.

Everyone just came out of a meat pickling factory.

"Your Highness, Mr. Zhou..."

There was a shout behind them.

Zhou Chao turned around and saw the factory owner trotting out, followed by more than a dozen fully loaded carts.

When the factory owner approached, he first took a plate covered with red cloth from the worker and handed it to Zhou Chao, "Mr. Zhou has come from afar to help us kill locusts in the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Area. I don't know how to thank you. This is a little tea money prepared by me for Mr. Zhou."

"And these behind..."

Zhou Chao frowned slightly and lifted the red cloth.

Under the red cloth, there were cylinders wrapped in red paper.

As expected, they must be filled with gold or silver coins from Yanhua.

It is no secret that Ming merchants like to hoard Yanhua's coins.

Only Yanhua's coins are wrapped in this way.

One is a hundred gold or silver coins.

Jin Douzi poked his head out and glanced, curled his lips, and turned his head to ask: "Your Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone has a shareholding system for hired workers, and you also do this? Do the officials in the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone also take bribes like this on weekdays?"

Ahem!

Zhou Chao hurriedly coughed to stop him, but it was too late.

Helplessly holding his forehead, the junior brother is good in everything, but this mouth is too poisonous and too unkind to others.

"Uncle Fang, the junior brother is young, don't mind it."

Fang Xiaoru smiled bitterly, "Your Highness is telling the truth. If we reformers can't even listen to the truth, how can we reform."

Jin Douzi nodded.

Zhou Chao saw that Jin Douzi was about to speak again, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Fang, you have such a magnanimity, I believe that the reform of the Central Plains will definitely succeed!"

"You are not sincere!" Jin Douzi muttered in a low voice.

The factory owner explained with a flattering smile: "Mr. Zhou, this is all our own will. The current situation is already very good. Compared with the adults in the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone who do practical things, those in the Central Plains who are only greedy and don't do things for others are hateful!"

"Your way of thinking is wrong in itself!" Jin Douzi said loudly: "It is your way of thinking that has contributed to the bureaucratic atmosphere. Now I give you some of your factory's specialties to do things for you. This is a small greed. Over time, small greed will inevitably become big greed!"

"Duke Liang, Mr. Zhang, if your Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone cannot complete the elimination of the stale customs of the people, it will definitely be corrupt in the future..."

Zhou Chao smiled bitterly.

But he did not stop it.

The Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone was established by the master.

He did not want the Mongolian-Han Demonstration Zone to be corrupt in the future.

Lan Yu, Fang Xiaoru, Zhang Yu and others were not angry at all, and listened carefully.

More of a sigh.

Even the eight-year-old son of the King of Yan can say this.

But within the Ming Dynasty, there are very few people who can realize this and are willing to follow Yan Hua's example!

On the 29th, the exam is over. After the 29th, at least 8,000 words will be restored every day.

Next, it will be a chain reaction of the four seas, the Ming Dynasty, the grasslands, and Goryeo under the wave of Yan Hua's industrialization.

After this plot is written, the book will be over.

Finally, I would like to ask for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
