"After the expansion of the New Army, the Xiyuan Military Camp is a bit small and unsuitable for use. Yuan Bin, after you go back, arrange for people to go to the Xishan area to find a place suitable for building a large camp. The four newly established brigades will be used there in the future.
The camp will be set up in Xishan. At the beginning, some temporary tents can be used, but some permanent facilities must be built. I will also build a Chinese military tent there. I will go there to see your training situation when I have time. In the future, Xishan
The Yuan Military Camp will gradually be transformed into the main hall of the General School Hall."
"Subordinates take orders!"
"Well! Regarding the reward for your trip to the capital this time! As for the silver reward, you can communicate with Wang Zhixin and distribute it to the soldiers according to the agreed number as soon as possible. As for the reward for the ministry, it will be implemented first with the actual duties of this expansion.
.I will decide on other military merit awards after the expansion of the new army is completed. You have to explain clearly to the soldiers that I have not forgotten their merits but are thinking about a charter suitable for the new army. No matter it is a small company
Platoon commanders, or brigade generals like you and Ruohai, this is just the beginning! Only when you really have a large scale can you become a real person. If you don’t have tens of thousands of troops under your command, being a general is just an empty promise.
If Ba Nao is not used properly, nothing will happen!"
"I will finally understand! I will never let down the Holy Spirit's painstaking cultivation."
After assigning the New Army expansion plan to Liu Yuanbin and others, Zhu Youjian summoned Wang Chengen and Liu Dachang to discuss another major matter.
"Daban, Director Liu! When you go back, take stock of the enamel factory's affairs. I'm going to set a price for the new enamel factory and sell it. You can discuss it and then let the news out to see if there is any suitable one.
Buyer!"
When Liu Dachang came to the palace, he thought that the emperor wanted to commend him for his recent work achievements. But in the end, he heard such a bolt from the blue. Selling an enamel factory? Why sell such a good industry? After selling it, you can own the factory.
What should I do if it grows longer?
Liu Dachang was not the only one who was shocked! Wang Chengen could not accept the news, so he sold the enamel factory, an industry that could lay golden eggs. The emperor was not wasting his family, this was simply ruining the pot!
"Your Majesty! You must not sell the enamel factory. All the palace's income now comes from it! If such a good business is sold, isn't it destroying the country's foundation?" Wang Chengen, who was anxious, quickly knelt before Zhu You.
In front of the prosecutor, I tried to persuade him to take back his life!
"Daban, I am talking about selling the enamel factory, not that the palace will no longer engage in the enamel business. Listen to me slowly tell you that the enamel factory in the capital is too small, and it was built with all kinds of makeshifts. I am going to build it.
Outside the city, find a good place to build a large-scale enamel factory, clay factory, ironworks, ordnance factory and other factories. Centralize them and make the scale larger. There is no water flow in the city.
, many things are entirely manual, and it is not a place for long-term development.”
Selling the enamel factory and building a large industrial park outside the capital is Zhu Youjian's plan to break the situation in the past few days. The counties around the capital were greatly harmed by the Qing army and the Qinwang soldiers.
Lightly, at this time, it is best to use the method of large-scale infrastructure construction, quickly spread money to the people, and bring up economic vitality first. As long as there is vitality, the situation will develop in a good direction.
But right now, the palace has little money to spare, so it can only find ways to raise funds. If it comes to borrowing money, it is estimated that no one will be willing to lend money. Most of the high-quality prefectures and counties that can be mortgaged have been mortgaged, and the remaining prefectures and counties have basically been mortgaged.
It's all a mess, and no one is willing to use real money to do such a risky thing. And to be honest, the loans taken out in the past six months have been a bit large, and the people have not yet formed confidence in the court to borrow money. In addition, prefecture and county taxes are used as collateral.
In the end, the money still had to be dispersed through the hands of foreign court officials, and in the end the expected results could not be achieved.
Therefore, the only option is to sell the factory for financing. The money from selling the factory is completely under your control and can be used for practical purposes. The constraints on building an industrial park will be much less.
"Your Majesty, of course I support the establishment of a big factory, but why do you have to sell the current enamel factory?"
Wang Chengen's question was quite idiotic. If the factory is not sold, where will the money come from for development? Faced with this idiotic question, Zhu Youjian didn't want to pay attention to it anymore. "Liu Dachang, when you go back, reorganize the enamel factory, except for those in the palace.
Except for the stewards, most of the other craftsmen have to stay in the old factory. You can only select some key craftsmen who can be used in the new factory. By the way, the iron factory and Laogong Porcelain Factory will not sell it! But you can take over the enamelling factory.
The people at the factory will supply them with iron tires at the original price and provide all related support to ensure that they can produce them after taking over and the output will not be affected. It is up to you to come forward and talk to the businessmen about this matter! You are responsible for handling this matter
At the same time, we have to start planning for the personnel establishment of a new large factory area, and it is tentatively decided that you will be in charge of the new factory area to be built in the palace."
Liu Dachang, who was worried that he was about to lose his job as director of the enamel factory, immediately became energetic when he heard that he would be assigned to be the director of the large factory. He quickly responded: "I will live up to the emperor's favor and I will work hard.
Put the palace’s industry in good order.”
"Your Majesty, if you want to sell the enamel factory, how much will it cost? To whom?" Seeing that the emperor's wasteful behavior seemed unstoppable, Wang Chengen began to worry about the price. If he sold it at a good price, he could at least make up for some of his losses.
"More than a million silver! After all, the enamel factory is a palace property, so we can't let it go completely. We have to make it clear to the buyers that even if we buy the factory, we still have to charge a 10% management fee, and the monthly payment must not be wrong! As for the
The other palaces will not take care of it anymore! If you want to find a buyer, you should find it yourself. It is best to find some people close to you to jointly buy it like Minsheng Bank. You also know that the enamel factory can make money. It should not be possible to take it back in less than a year.
The problem is, the remaining annual income will be a net profit. Although the palace will open a large factory in the future, items like enamel have always been in short supply, and it will be difficult for small workshops like the palace's iron factory to make embryos to imitate them. "
"Your Majesty, after the new workshop in the palace is built, the two factories will produce a lot of enamel. Can it really be in demand?"
"That's right! How much porcelain does Jingde in the south sell out in a year? How much can they earn in a year? Enamel is more useful to ordinary people than porcelain. This business must cost tens of millions of taels of silver a year.
In order to make a living, even if there are four or five more big factories, there is no need to worry about selling them! Don’t worry, find your own people to do it, you won’t suffer losses. In the future, the factory business in the palace will not always be mainly about enamel, and you can’t steal the current enamel products.
The business of the factory. Now that the world outside is so chaotic, it is not safe to buy land. It is better to buy such a big industry in Beijing. This is a stable business that makes money every day. To be honest, I don’t feel comfortable giving it to outsiders.
Of course, if you can't raise the capital, you'll have to take advantage of outsiders."
Zhu Youjian, who played a guest role as a salesman, worked very hard to promote the enamel factory. After he said this, Wang Chengen was moved. It was a pity that he could not afford so much money, otherwise he would have bought the factory himself.
