Chapter 196： Hong Chengchou anyway

"A new chapter in the world, on the changes made by technology to the world."

This is Hong Chengchou's article published in the newspaper, and Wu Changqing has also seen it.

The article summarized the reasons for the Qing army's failure in Nanjing, and it touted the impact of weapons on the war. At the same time, in the article, he also emphasized that the failure of the Qing army was because the Qing army was not an army of justice, so it was unable to gain popular support.

This was actually sending a signal to Wu Changqing that he wanted to submit. If he didn't want to submit, he didn't need to say bad things about the Qing court.

He insists not to surrender now, and his family in Beijing can still get preferential treatment.

And if his remarks now spread to Beijing, his family will be persecuted immediately.

In addition to condemning the Qing court, Hong Chengchou also advocated science and technology in his articles, advocating the university, calling it a major change that will affect the world.

I have to say that Hong Chengchou's vision is still quite vicious.

After seeing those new inventions, many people were amazed at most, and then there was no more.

However, Hong Chengchou saw the great impact of these inventions on the world from those inventions.

For example, cement is convenient to travel in the eyes of the people.

In Hong Chengchou's eyes, this cement will undoubtedly strengthen the court's rule over the place very strongly. Wherever this concrete road is built, its rule will be extended.

With such a road that is not easily destroyed, the military's actions will be greatly improved, and the logistical support will be easier and more relaxed.

As a result, it will be very difficult for other places to rebel, because the central court can respond quickly and not give local opportunities.

Unlike in the past, when a certain place rebelled, it took only half a month for the message to be delivered, and another half a month for the dispatch of troops. When the army arrived at the rebellion, the rebels would often have already moved from hundreds to thousands People have grown to tens of thousands.

This kind of thing, he personally experienced when the Northwest quelled the chaos.

When the army set out, the rebels were only a few thousand, and when they arrived, the rebels were already as many as tens of thousands, and then they could only flee.

With cement roads, this situation will be greatly reduced.

There is also the hybrid rice mentioned in the newspaper. In Hong Chengchou's view, if the report is true, the impact on society will also be huge.

For thousands of years, one of the biggest headaches for the court was that the people could not get enough to eat. Once the people are not full, they will easily be instigated by some people to rebel, which will affect the foundation of the imperial court.

If it weren't for the people's rebellion and the Ming Dynasty was busy fighting the rebellion, it would not allow the Manchu to develop and grow, and Ming would not perish.

Throughout history, the end of every dynasty, in the final analysis, can be attributed to the issue of food.

In short, Hong Chengchou has vaguely felt that the world is changing greatly.

This kind of keen awareness, ordinary people do not have.

Seeing Hong Chengchou's transformation, Wu Changqing also intends to officially use this guy.

Not only value his abilities, but more importantly, it can undermine the morale of the Qing court.

If news of Hong Chengchou reaches the Qing court anyway, many people will vomit blood in anger. Because in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, many people knew Hong Chengchou's ability.

To say that his role is worth more than ten thousand troops, I am afraid that no one will refute or deny it.

Wu Changqing summoned Hong Chengchou again. This time Hong Chengchou didn't dare to put on airs like last time, because he had already figured out some of Wu Changqing's temperament and knew that Wu Changqing didn't like tweaking, eating soft or hard.

Pretending to be noble in front of Wu Changqing, the result is that he really can only become ‘noble’. On the contrary, he was cheeky and begged for official loyalty, Wu Changqing always refused to come.

For example, Ruan Dacheng, Qian Qianyi, and others, who were often criticized as gangsters in the past, Wu Changqing used them correctly.

"The criminal minister has seen General Wu."

Hong Chengchou bowed down, and for someone with status and status like him, offering his knees was equivalent to offering loyalty.

"There is no need to mention the past. Tell me about your views on business, what kind of business can create wealth and promote social development."

Wu Changqing was straightforward. He met his subordinates basically in this way, no nonsense.

Hong Chengchou knew that Wu Changqing was testing himself, and his answer will determine his next position. Therefore, Hong Chengchou thought very carefully for a while, but Wu Changqing did not urge him.

After a while, Hong Chengchou said: "The essence of commerce is to exchange what is necessary and does not create wealth, but it can improve the lives of the people. For example, fishermen on the seaside are tired of eating fish, and some places in the mainland want to eat fish. It is an extravagant hope.

When the two places traded goods, the fishermen ate the fruit, and the people in the mainland ate the fish..."

Hong Chengchou made a set of statements based on his own insights and experience. On the whole, he was barely wrong.

However, Wu Changqing directly commented: "Wrong, business can also create wealth, that is mass production. A craftsman to make a porcelain, he needs to master shaping, kiln, painting and other skills, and the cost of producing a porcelain. For a long time.

However, after large-scale production, a craftsman only needs to master one of the techniques, and the training and learning time is greatly shortened. It may take a hundred days for one craftsman to make one hundred porcelains, but it only takes half a day for one hundred craftsmen to make one hundred porcelains. The time saved is also a kind of wealth. "

Industrialization, large-scale production, and assembly line production are the right way to reduce costs. There are not many people who can see this clearly in this era, and Wu Changqing is too lazy to wait for Hong Chengchou to realize it and tell him directly.

"What the general said is very true, I have been taught."

Hong Chengchou pondered Wu Changqing's words and felt that there was some truth.

"I am going to set up a business department recently. You will be a servant first to assist me in dealing with the affairs of the business department. This is a brand new department and requires you to think more.

Wu Changqing directly assigned him a position, the Minister of Commerce, the third grade, two ranks lower than Ruan Dacheng, Gu Yanwu and others. However, for a general, the starting point is already very high.

If you give him the position of Shangshu directly, Gu Yanwu and others will probably feel unbalanced. Together, we risked our deaths to follow the rebellion and fight for the world, the final benefit is not as good as a person who surrendered?

Therefore, even if Hong Chengchou's ability is better than Gu Yanwu, he can only start from the assistant.

Moreover, there is a high probability that his status throughout his life will not be able to catch up with veterans like Gu Yanwu. Gu Yanwu must have been knighted by the time he writes Shangshu.

No matter where it is, the prioritization of capital allocation exists.

This is very unfair to those capable juniors, but to those who have made merits, it is indeed very reasonable.
