How did the Iron Boss in later generations operate?

Although he scolded Tie Boss every day and had seen a lot of information online, Emperor Chongzhen still did not understand Tie Boss' specific operating model.

But one thing is certain. At the beginning, Boss Tie was basically the same as other state-owned enterprises. The system from children's schools to their own courts, police, etc. was complete, and it was a completely small society.

To be honest, even if Boss Tie left the other departments and played alone, there would be no problem.

Of course, no matter how awesome the boss is, there is a more powerful mother-in-law in charge of it. Later, he became honest, so the railway system's flight attendant system was almost ruined. If it weren't for the mother-in-law to take up the seats at the high-speed rail? The flight attendant would directly teach those scumbags to be human!

Emperor Chongzhen was not sure how awesome the Tie Boss in later generations was at first, but how it became abolished later. The problem now is how to deal with the Ming version of Tie Boss.

Especially the issue of silver.

It is definitely not possible to exist in the hands of the Ministry of Railways. After all, wealth is touching and true saints have it. However, for most people, honesty may be because the rewards of corruption are not superior enough that people cannot withstand temptation.

But now Guo Yunhou is crazy about hinting that the Ministry of Railways has put all the money in the treasury, and it is estimated that Hong Chengchou's agreement is not very likely.

He gave Hong Chengchou a lot of tasks. The railways were built one by one and the maintenance costs were enough to make people want to die. Now he finally had the opportunity to make money, so he no longer had to go to the Ministry of Revenue to ask his grandfather to get money from his grandmother. How could Hong Chengchou be willing to let the Ministry of Revenue intervene?

So the question is how to decide if you become the emperor? Should you prefer the Ministry of Revenue or allow the Ministry of Railways to create a future iron boss?

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen simply turned his attention to Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai.

For Emperor Chongzhen, even if the Ming version of the Ministry of Railways became the awesome iron boss in later generations, it was actually nothing great. If he continued his own decree, the Ministry of Railways would turn from a big tiger into a good little cat.

Since you don’t have to worry about what you become, you might as well throw this matter to Wen Tiren and the others for a headache. Your opinions may not be the most suitable for the current Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, Wen Tiren and the others, although their vision is not as broad as they are, their opinions must be the most in line with the current situation.

Wen Tiren and Shi Fenglai looked at each other and both felt each other's sorrow.

I was watching the show well, and the sudden slaughter came over. It was so fucking scary!

In addition to the title of consultant, Shi Fenglai is like having no official position, so he naturally has less scruples: "I think the bills collected by the Ministry of Railways should be divided into two parts, part of which is paid to the Ministry of Revenue, and the other part is to be kept in the Ministry of Railways for the construction of newly opened lines and the maintenance of the original lines."

Guo Yunhou snorted and said, "If Consultant Yishi said this, then the Ministry of Railways does not need the treasury to allocate silver to build the railway?"

Shi Fenglai said with a smile: "If there is no such banknote, the national treasury will not only allocate the money for building railways, but even the maintenance costs will have to be allocated from the national treasury.

I believe Guo Butang also has his own experience of how the train we are taking is. Such a steel giant beast will definitely not be too small, right?"

Guo Yunhou's face was even more ugly: "In the budget reported by the Ministry of Railways before, the maintenance cost for Chongzhen 14 was as high as 8 million taels.

This is just a cost for maintenance. Hong Chengchou also asked the treasury to allocate 30 million taels of silver for the construction of the new line.

The budget reported by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Transport is not much smaller than that of the Ministry of Railways.

The Ministry of Industry requested a total of 35 million taels of silver, while the Ministry of Transport requested a total of 37 million taels of silver.

To be honest, the treasury has been much more abundant in recent years, but if you really spend money like this, you can't hold on even a few times more taxes."

Shi Fenglai was a little confused.

Through the transaction of Fushou Paste, we can see that Emperor Chongzhen's treasury must have money, but no matter what, the treasury became so rich.

Every time, there is a budget of tens of millions of taels of silver?

I still remember that when Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, the surplus in the treasury was only more than three million taels. The more than six million taels of gold and silver were collected from Huang Liji's house, which made the court laugh so hard that it was too late.

Just over three million taels were still plundered from Wei Zhongxian...

There are really so many commercial taxes?

However, Guo Yunhou's words were obviously not finished: "In addition to the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Rites requires the allocation of 18 million taels for the construction and repair of schools in various places.

The most excessive thing is the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army!

The military budget reported by the Governor's Office of the Five Army was a budget of 10 million taels. Cui Chengxiu, the slut from the Ministry of War, just took the budget of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, and asked the treasury to allocate the treasury. He also asked the treasury to allocate another 20 million taels of silver to the Ministry of War!"

Zhu Chunchen, who was not far from Guo Yunhou, obviously heard Guo Yunhou’s complaints and said with a smile: “Guo Butang should know too. My Ming Dynasty is now using troops everywhere. These soldiers must use firearms and ammunition to fight, right?

Even if it is a bit harder and let the soldiers go to war with swords, the food and salary should always be allocated in full? If there is no food and salary, let the soldiers go to war with hunger, can they still win?

Let’s take a step back, even if the Mughals and Annan have been pacified, the military expenditures required for these two places are less, but the soldiers of the garrisons in various parts of the Ming Dynasty should always give them food and salary, right?”

Guo Yunhou snorted coldly, but did not refute.

In other dynasties, money would have been spent on flowing water, but in the Chongzhen dynasty, it was not the case.

The wardsmen killed people outside and spent a lot of military expenses to them, but these wardsmen also snatched back many good things in vain. If they don’t count things like cattle and sheep, they can still make a surplus if they are all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry.

So Guo Yunhou is not afraid of spending military expenses. When he mentioned the 100 million taels of budget of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, he just complained, but forgot that Zhu Chunchen was not far away...

Shi Fenglai discovered that in the past few years since he left the Ming Dynasty, the entire Ming Dynasty had become unfamiliar, except for the emperor's temperament, it was still as unreliable as ever.

Seeing Shi Fenglai dead, Wen Tiren had to speak, "What is Guo Butang saying? The money in the treasury should be spent.

The Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Transportation have spent more money, but after all, they are all temporary. After all, after all, this large amount of money will be saved?

According to my husband, what Consultant Shi said just now also makes sense.

It would be impossible to dismantle all the money into the treasury, but the Ministry of Railways needs to repair the railway and build new lines, and constantly spend labor costs. Then will it still be allocated by the treasury?"

Seeing the big guys talking about tens of millions of taels of silver back and forth, Cui Yongan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Railways, wished he could hide himself. This big scene should be let Lord Shangshu come in person. His little body is so empty!

Emperor Chongzhen rubbed his brows and said, "Forget it, let's wait for this matter to be discussed for the time being. Go back to discuss with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Railways to see how to make a charter, and report it to me later."

After Wen Tiren and others responded, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Since the Ministry of Railways has planned these many lines, it is time for Macau to make some plans, right?"

Wen Tiren said: "From the geometric map, Xinming Island is closest to Annan, followed by Macau.

According to the Ministry of Transport and data reported by Xinming Island over the years, the cost of marine transportation is much lower than that of land transportation. In other words, the shipping of goods from Xinming Island to Macau by sea is much higher than that of those directly to Annan.

Especially the coal from Xinming Island can be transported to Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou through Macau, which is much more cost-effective than to go to Quanzhou or Denglai before transferring.

But in this way, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry are busy again. Even the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Transport need to re-plan the route connecting Macau to Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan and Guizhou."

Regarding such a cheap and beneficial thing, Guo Yunhou immediately stated on behalf of the Ministry of Revenue: "There is no problem here in the Ministry of Revenue. Whether it is to relocate the people or build a port, the treasury can bear it."

Zhu Chunchen also interrupted: "There is no problem with the Governor's Office of the Five Army. It will make corresponding changes to the garrison stations in the above places to ensure that there is no accident."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "For these places, let's do this first. In addition, the railway construction in Myanmar and Dhaka must be completed earlier."

When Cui Yongan heard this, he couldn't help but complain: "Your Majesty, although people have been sent to explore the railway construction of Myanmar and Mughals, if you want to complete it, it will probably be the 20th year of Chongzhen at the earliest."

Emperor Chongzhen whispered in his heart and asked, "Twenty years of Chongzhen? Isn't it still more than six years?"

Cui Yong'an said: "It's not that the Ministry of Railways does not want to speed up, but the terrain exploration will take about 17 years to complete. From the start of construction to the end, it is a relatively optimistic estimate that it can be completed twenty years before Chongzhen."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was helpless.

Exploring terrain is very different from marching and fighting.

When marching and fighting, just know which road is near and which road has water sources, will there be any danger, and how to go.

However, if you want to build a railway, there are more things to pay attention to. Why is the construction of railways in Sichuan slower than other places?

It’s because there have been earthquakes several times between the Tianqi period and the Chongzhen period!

It is easy to build a railway. Who knows when another earthquake will occur after it is repaired? If an earthquake occurs, can it be able to withstand it?

If these messy things are not solved, the railway will only be repaired for a while. Who can feel at ease?

Just like Myanmar and Mughals, although Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to build temporary lines, this kind of line that was scrapped after several times was easy to repair, and can long-term and stable lines still do this?

It would be strange if Emperor Chongzhen sent someone to the Meridian Gate to peel off his skin!

So the current situation is that the railways in Myanmar and Mughals could barely pass one or two trains by the mid-14th year of Chongzhen, but if they want to run for a long time, they must re-exploration of the terrain and re-laying the tracks. If they really need to finish, it will be fast for Chongzhen to finish it.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen had no expression, Cui Yongan tentatively said: "In addition, there is also the problem of manpower. Although there have been many workers in the Ming Dynasty over the years, well, laborers, but this manpower is still not enough.

Although some of the people in the Ming Dynasty are willing to work, they run back to farm when it comes to busy farming, so there is still not enough manpower."

Emperor Chongzhen continued to turn his attention to Wen Tiren, Shi Fenglai and others and asked me what use is useless. Can the people of the Ming Dynasty blame me if they like farming?

Wen Tiren said: "The people are more willing to farm rather than go out to work. It is because they are uneasy in their hearts."

Uneasy in my heart?

Emperor Chongzhen was very curious because I gave me less money? Or did you not let you eat and wear warmth? What's the worry?

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Wen Tiren said, "I have put myself in the perspective of the people and found that the safest thing is to have some land in my hands and some food in my home, otherwise I will always feel a little uneasy.

What should your wife and children do when you are away? What should you do if you encounter any natural disasters or illnesses?

The biggest benefit of staying at home is not only to be able to accompany your wife and children while farming, but also to be familiar with the neighbors around you. As long as they are not particularly popular, they can ask for help from their neighbors if they encounter any problems.

If you are away, except for your wife and children not around you, once you encounter any problems, you will have no other way except asking the government and fellow villagers for help. The premise of these two paths is that the government should serve the people with integrity and fellow villagers, and there will be fellow villagers around you."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Wen Aiqing's words are reasonable, but are there any other questions?"

Wen Tiren said: "In fact, there is another problem, which is the current grain price problem.

If you want the people to leave home to work, you have to let them see that simply relying on farming cannot be done. This needs to be achieved by suppressing grain prices.

Only when the food prices get lower and lower will more people be unable to help but find other ways out, and even those who originally had a lot of land in their hands may be unable to resist selling the land."

Guo Yunhou said in pain: "Mr. Wen Ge, the current food price is lower than that in the Zhengde period. What's wrong if it is lower?"

ps: I have a headache these two days, so I have fewer updates.
