Chapter 97
Luo Jing and Shisanlang were sorting out various local products in the yard. Among them were a large number of pastries, made by the family members of the Iron Supervisor, with various flavors wrapped in oil paper. There were both stuffed with jujube paste, chestnuts, walnuts, and traditional stuffed with malt sugar and ghee. These were gifts for the New Year, and were taken to Qingtai Town by Luo Jing, and Han Yueniang and her family went home together. Du Zhongxiao was in his position and could not go back together.
There were already similar pastries in this era, but most of them were made and eaten immediately and could not be preserved for a long time. The characteristic of the pastries made by Iron Supervisor is that they are heavy oil and sugar, which are baked in a special oven and can be preserved for a long time without being decayed. Pastry in agricultural society is a real luxury and is expensive. Even wealthy families like Du Zhongxiao are very proud of their gifts.
After eating too much in the past, Du Zhongxiao psychologically rejected this food. Although he proposed this idea, put forward opinions, and guided the invention of many flavors of pastries, Du Zhongxiao basically did not eat it himself. Others are not like this. Han Yueniang and her parents like it, and they are placed there all year round as snacks for their spare time.
In an era of overnutrition, foods with heavy oil and sugar are unhealthy, which is not the case in this era of general nutritional deficiency. Even if the workers in the iron prison have higher qualifications and are not special days, no one is willing to eat a piece of pastry. Just eat a piece as supplementing nutrition.
In addition to a large number of workers, the iron supervisor also has a large number of families, so they cannot be idle there. No matter how high the workers are, they rely on the money earned by one person to support the whole family, and their living standards cannot be improved. In addition to building pastry workshops, there are also sugar and spinning threads, all of which adopt the social system. In the early days, the capital was loaned to them by the iron supervisor, and the money earned by the workers was kept a part of the money earned every month. In addition to repaying the capital, it was also used to expand reproduction and purchase production tools. By the end of the year, dividends were distributed based on the profits earned. In essence, it was a collective economy.
There are many small clubs like barracks. Recently, the railway supervisor came forward to organize guilds. The members of the club took turns to work, check quality, hygiene, etc., and also do the unified procurement of raw materials and sales to the outside world.
Not everyone has the opportunity to join a company, but more often work such as sewing and repairing, washing and washing clothes. Most of them learn to work together and become popular. In recent days, several companies have even recruited work from the iron supervisor, such as taking iron nails made by the iron supervisor, picking out the unqualified ones after they go home and counting the money according to the pounds.
With such a large iron prison and so many workers, the family is not worried about not having work. As long as they have the awareness of labor and are willing to participate in labor, they have the opportunity to make money. The transformation of industry into society is revealed at this time. Some people start working, and some people learn to do it. The workers do not have the rules and regulations in their consciousness. They face the work and use money to buy everything.
The social atmosphere is like this, and people will be laughed at when doing nothing at home, and women will try every means to find work. A few days ago, several women even built a stall in the barracks. Because the taste is better than the canteen, the price is cheaper, and the business is very good. The people in the canteen complained, robbed their own business, and asked the Iron Supervision to ban it. Not only did Du Zhongxiao not ban it, but instead rewarded those people and asked them to build sheds and fix stalls. With so many people in the Iron Supervision, the market is bigger and the procurement is more convenient, and they can't do it. What qualifications are there to complain?
In the face of the market, we must ensure production efficiency and quality, and competition is inevitable. Recently, the railway supervision is planning to divide the entire railway supervision into several districts according to their respective concentrated areas, operating independently and accounting independently. From supervisors to workers, income is linked to business conditions.
This is a common system for official business operations at this time. It is a comparative method. In order to pursue more profits, it is used to do everything. The most common restaurant industry in various places, once the profit exceeds a certain value, it is collected as an official. The profit falls and contracts are carried out. All localities are like this. Local officials are familiar with this set, and later they are even introduced into the officialdom. Officials are promoted according to economic development and eliminated at the end.
Most of the systems in later generations appeared at this time, and the disadvantages were the same. For example, the elimination of the last place led to a large number of problems. In order to promote, officials killed chickens and took eggs and ignored people's livelihood. Later, they were abolished, which was exactly the same as the fart theory of chickens. However, in this era, people and households and taxes were assessed, and they did not have the ability to count social and economics.
In order to support the army, the Song Dynasty was under great financial pressure. Some of the political and economic measures taken made people think they were full of imagination, and many of them made future generations feel familiar. In such an era, not only many of the economic measures in Du Zhongxiao's memory can be used directly, but also economic theory can be used. Some people think it is a rebellious? It is impossible to do it. You say that the stars and the sea can be used.
Ten years have passed since this world, Du Zhongxiao has gradually adapted and is increasingly brave in doing things.
The ancient times I learned in my previous life were actually based on the Ming and Qing dynasties, especially the Qing dynasties, which was very different from the Song dynasties and before the Song dynasties. After the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Song dynasty, its political culture did not inherit the Song dynasty, but was mainly based on the grassland. The Ming Dynasty overthrew the Yuan dynasty and inherited the political culture of the Yuan dynasty in large quantities. Although it was intended to rebuild Han culture, it was more politically rough and more conservative, and it seemed like a different life compared to the Song dynasty. When the Qing dynasty took a step further, on the one hand, its thoughts became more conservative, and on the other hand, its politically reactionary.
The most typical one is personal relationships. From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, the general trend is that slavery is becoming increasingly weak and employment relationships are becoming more and more common. In the stories of the Song Dynasty, brotherhood and friend righteousness are often told, and the personal affiliation is also very weak. In the Qing Dynasty, the stories were full of loyal servants and dogs, and they are rarely seen in the stories of Song and Ming Dynasty. The relationship between master and servant, from righteous servants, and then from loyal servants, has a clear context. I didn’t think it was read before, but after real experience, I would feel that the master and servant in the three-character two-shot shots were completely different from the master and servant in the later Qing Dynasty stories.
Just like Tao Shiqi, Luo Jing and Chen Qin, according to the ancient times in my impression, they should be their servants and are loyal to themselves. In fact, it is not the case at all. They do not have that consciousness at all. To be precise, these three people are more similar to ancient disciples, and they work under Du Zhongxiao with their own abilities. Du Zhongxiao can't give them enough benefits and futures, so don't find a next home, and they won't feel embarrassed psychologically. Just like Chen Qin, who feels that staying in the volcanic army has more prospects, so he stays there.
In fact, it is normal. When the Ming Dynasty was established, it was nearly a hundred years since the demise of the Song Dynasty, and the traditions could not be picked even if they wanted to be picked. Just like when Du Zhongxiao's previous life, he said that he wanted to restore the tradition, and what he took out was the tradition of the Qing Dynasty. He said that he should pay attention to traditional etiquette, and what he took out was the bannermen. Even if Chinese traditional etiquette was written in books, no one paid attention to it. Asking for masters and apprentices was to kowtow, but there was no teaching and respect each other, and there was no teaching and teaching to answer questions. He said that the family was to obey the elders, and if he was small, he would be considered abnormal if he was large.
At this time, whether it is an empirical measure or a theory in the future, as long as you can tell it systematically and have reasonable evidence, someone will support you. If you can achieve economic prosperity, peace and stability in the country, and prosperity of force, you can do whatever you say, and someone will summarize theories for you and sign them as everyone.
As the Iron Supervision Bureau goes on track, under Du Zhongxiao, it is less and less like a political division, but more like an enterprise. What Du Zhongxiao has to do next is to straighten out the relationships inside, form systems, and even carry out some reforms.
