Chapter 85 Emperor Chongzhen went to the grave to cry for the wrong person

Chapter 084

Cheng Shijie didn't know whether he should give ideology to an army. As a cadre with grassroots roots, he knew that he should give ideology to the workers.

From 2008 to 2013, these were the five years when China's economy took off at a high level. However, it was also the darkest five years for the Hansteel Group. Those who did not understand English, did not have a high degree of education, and had no chance of promotion. Countless people with second or third grade

Workers with ten or even thirty years of advantage have been eliminated from the frontline workforce.

Employees are not allowed to have any non-work-related communication with each other. They only do their own things. They are not allowed to ask about or interfere with matters that have nothing to do with their positions. Under this kind of returnee management, Hansteel Group not only

There has been no effective development, and there has even been a serious decline in production capacity, production efficiency, and production quality.

In a small business, although the train can be driven by a locomotive, it is indeed possible for a small business to develop rapidly with a powerful locomotive.

However, the problem is that Hansteel Group is not a small company. It is a company with thirty wholly-owned or wholly-owned subsidiaries, covering eleven fields including energy, chemical industry, mining, smelting, precision instruments, automation control, and special steel.

Industry, a large group company with nearly 400,000 registered employees.

Relying on the energy and ability of the leadership alone is far from being able to move this huge train forward. Such a huge train requires not only the continuous power provided by the locomotive, but also the efforts of all employees.

The same goes for companies and the military.

This is the most obvious difference between the ancient army and the professional armies of later generations. The professional armies of later generations will not easily reward hundreds of thousands of yuan or millions. The current reward standard for Cheng Shijie to Ning Haijun's fallen soldiers is twenty taels of silver.

, plus one hundred acres of land.

The value of these lands is as high as about one thousand taels of silver. Even if the current price of food in Dengzhou City is as high as eight taels of silver per stone, one tael of silver can only buy 235 jins (500) grams of rice. If it is calculated as 2.99 yuan per jin in later generations.

Calculating the price of rice, the purchasing power of silver in the Ming Dynasty today is equivalent to 702 yuan in later generations.

There are also other calculation methods. Applying this basic calculation method, the prices in the late Ming Dynasty are actually not low. For example (Lao Cheng moved a set of data)

Wheat: 1 stone = 0.81 taels * 704.3 = 570.48 yuan/188.8 = 3.02 yuan/jin;

Glutinous rice: 1 stone = 1.12 taels * 704.3 = 788.82 yuan/188.8 = 4.18 yuan/jin;

Black beans: 1 stone = 0.44 taels * 704.3 = 309.89 yuan/188.8 = 1.64 yuan/jin;

Soybeans: 1 stone = 0.535 taels * 704.3 = 376.80/1888.8 = 1.99 yuan/jin;

Mung beans: 1 stone = 0.71 taels * 704.3 = 500.53/188.8 = 2.65 yuan/jin;

Sesame: 1 stone = 1.3 taels * 704.3 = 915.59/188.8 = 4.85 yuan/jin;

Some prices in the Ming Dynasty were even much cheaper than those in later generations. At least soybeans, mung beans, and sesame seeds were cheaper than those in later generations.

Let’s look at the price of war horses.

Launch: 30*704.3=21129.00 yuan;

Kansai horse riding: 21.4*704.3=15072.02 yuan;

China and Malaysia: 20*704.3=14086.00 yuan;

Kansai Central Malaysia: 14.3*704.3=10071.49 yuan;

Dismount: 16*704.3=11268.80 yuan;

Kansai dismount: 11*704.3=7747.3 yuan;

It's basically the same. If every tael of silver is equivalent to 704.3 yuan, the gold pension for Ning Haijun's fallen soldiers is equivalent to 718,386 yuan, which is not too outrageous.

Through the mutiny of Ning Haijun, in fact, this is the ideological evolution of Ning Haijun. At least they all formed a unified understanding. If Cheng Shijie is here, they will have a good life. If Cheng Shijie is gone, they will not have a good life.

.

This independent thought may not necessarily be correct, but it is a breakthrough from zero to nothing.

All mutinies in the past had only three possibilities: either there was a lack of military pay, there was no food to eat, or they couldn't survive.

However, Ning Haijun's mutiny was the most incredible one. It was not for money or food, but for their commander-in-chief. This was actually the germ of Ning Haijun's thoughts.

This is a seed, this is how they started to think independently. An army with ideas can easily crush an army without ideas. Even if their equipment is not as good as the opponent's, even if their military strength is not as good as the opponent's, even if

They lack food and clothing.

During Mao Wenlong's era, the Dongjiang Army never had a mutiny. Even if they had no food, grass, or equipment, many people would freeze to death every day and many would starve to death.

At that time, Mao Wenlong had given the Dongjiang Army the idea that they wanted revenge and took back their homeland. This was their idea and their belief.

After Mao Wenlong's death, the Dongjiang Army's ideas and beliefs collapsed, so they began to break the rules.

The seed of Ning Haijun's thoughts will gradually grow into a towering tree. At this time, there will be no way to suppress it.

Since you can't suppress it, you can only guide it slowly.

Guide and guide Ning Haijun's thoughts from narrow personality worship to the right path. Cheng Shijie kept thinking about it on his way to Dengzhou City.

How to guide Ning Haijun’s thoughts.

As a cold wind blew, Cheng Shijie's mind suddenly became clear. When he saw Chen Guodong riding a war horse and following the team slowly forward, he seemed a little depressed.

Chen Guodong is not like Song Xiance. Song Xiance can hide his thoughts, which is what people call the city. Zhou Yandong can also do this. Of course, in front of Cheng Shijie, whether it is Zhou Yandong or Song Xiance, their hearts are

It can be seen through by Cheng Shijie.

Because he suffered discrimination, Song Xiance's real idea was to trample under his feet those who looked down on him and those who discriminated against him in the past, robbed them of their lifetime wealth, and let their wives and daughters live in front of him

Humble begging for life.

Zhou Yandong's idea is the most common, that is, to honor the lintel of the family and to honor the ancestors.

Shen Mingyu was feeling frustrated, so he had to work hard, forge ahead, and prove to his biological father: "Old guy, you are wrong, your son is better than you!"

Changyu's thoughts are more pure, which is to get promoted and make a fortune...

As for Chen Guodong, he actually has thoughts, but his thoughts are on his face: "Shen Ming is a layman and has no leadership skills. Chang Yu is a young boy. If I go to bed, I will be stronger than them..."

"Guodong, come up!"

Cheng Shijie waved to Chen Guodong and said, "Let's talk!"

"It's... the handsome man!"

Chen Guodong also knew that things were different now, so he gave the Tang straight knife that Cheng Shijie gave him directly to the coachman of the carriage.

"sit!"

Cheng Shijie took the teapot on the table in front of him and poured Chen Guodong a cup of tea.

"Bad mood?"

"No?"

"Is it because I didn't promote you to an official position?"

"no!"

Chen Guodong looked at Cheng Shijie and said: "Commander, I..."

"You are a good soldier, a good soldier with ideological awareness!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Do you know that I asked you to lead the troops before, but now I won't let you lead the troops?"

"I don't know... I don't know!"

Cheng Shijie said: "This time, I was assassinated and almost... This time Ning Haijun launched a mutiny, and you also made great efforts. Although it was a big mistake and put Ning Haijun in a desperate situation,

Merits are merits, and faults are faults. Merits and faults cannot be offset. I have never engaged in the practice of balancing merits and faults. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have faults, you will be punished. But what?"

Chen Guodong lowered his head and said: "My life was given by the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief can take it back at any time!"

"What would I do with your life?"

Cheng Shijie picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Your decision is right. If you don't stand up and fight, I might be killed. I didn't let you go down to lead the troops because I am not practical here!"

Cheng Shijie patted his chest: "Now our Ninghai Navy has expanded its navy to more than 8,000 men. The cavalry has grown from scratch to more than 2,000 men. In addition, the men and horses of the former Denglai New Army and the Gun and Artillery Bureau have just been produced.

With the twenty-four thunderbolts that came out, our Ning Navy now has more than 20,000 troops. Among the more than 20,000 troops, there is a mix of fish and dragons. The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Some people are of the same mind as me, and some people are of the same mind.

We are not of the same mind as me. Some people seem to be in harmony with each other, while others are false and arrogant. Can I be down-to-earth? Not to mention down-to-earth, I can’t even sleep well!"

Chen Guodong's eyes widened: "Is it so serious?"

"What do you think? Let's talk about Navy Vice Admiral Shen Shikui first."

Cheng Shijie took out a letter from the roster: "Shen Shikui, Chen Jicheng, and Zhang Pan were the three heroes under Mao Wenlong and Marshal Mao. Later, Zhang Pan died in Lushun, Chen Jisheng was killed by rebels, and Shen Shikui is now the oldest veteran of the Dongjiang Army.

Right? Even Huang Long, the current commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang Army, is slightly underqualified in front of him, right?"

"this……"

Chen Guodong sighed and said: "Shuai Shen is a businessman and is not valued by everyone!"

"Then he is a senior person who doesn't even obey Huang Long. Why would he obey me?"

Cheng Shijie smiled softly and said: "Is it because I am more handsome than him? Or because I am taller than him? Actually, it is neither, because he has no choice but to stay dormant temporarily!"

When Cheng Shijie went back this time, he also found out that Shen Shikui's son Shen Zhixiang was actually the Duke of Shunshun of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the first generation of Duke Shunshun. The title of Duke Shunshun of the Qing Dynasty actually continued until the Guangxu period. This is a hardcore traitor.

.

This had to make Cheng Shijie wary.
