Red Alert 1895

After Wang Guorui's central court announced the new policy in the future, it immediately began to prepare for its implementation. At present, except for Gansu, Xinjiang, Yunnan and Tibet, other provinces have also been recovered. However, Gansu and Yunnan can be resolved quickly, and it will not take long for good news to come. As for Tibet, Wang Guorui attaches great importance to it. Although Tibet has a small population, it is definitely a very difficult nut to crack. His geographical location alone is enough to make the army careful. Isn't the new China of later generations also cautious about Tibet? In addition to the so-called ethnic issues, the more important thing is that his geographical location is too deceitful. This geographical location is too high, and altitude sickness is enough to reduce 100% of the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers to 70%. Although Wang Guorui's army has all kinds of artillery, the artillery equipment also needs to be controlled by people. Once those Tibetan herdsmen fight guerrillas with you, then this will really make you feel troublesome. At that time, you will be exhausted, and those soldiers will not be able to stand the altitude sickness for a long time. In the end, it may be earlier than Waterloo! Therefore, Wang Guorui had to pay attention to Tibet, so he ordered to carry out a strategic siege of Tibet after reaching Yunnan and Sichuan, and not to attack for the time being.

In other places, Wang Guorui announced a new economic development policy, and then designated three municipalities directly under the central government, and then several first-tier cities, and then made this their development focus. Municipalities directly under the central government and first-tier cities can obtain a batch of loan quotas, and then get the amount to let local people, or those who are interested in starting a business in the local area, they are also ready to go there for loans.

"The emperor is benevolent, he took out 150 million yuan as a loan from his own pocket, and then used it as a loan to people in major first-tier cities and municipalities directly under the Central Government. Anyone who is interested in developing industry and serving the country through industry can apply for low-interest loans , and anyone with culture and skills can apply for Xiao'e's interest-free loan as capital for starting a business. So I hope everyone can actively start a business, and then serve the emperor through business!"

The people from the Royal Bank began to brag, saying that starting a business is to serve the country through industry. In the late Qing Dynasty, each had its own method of reporting. Some serve the country by joining the army, some serve the country by scientific research and literature, and some choose to enter the official career to serve the country. Some people even shouted the slogan of serving the country through industry. Anyway, this wide variety of slogans also makes everyone feel dazzled. Originally, doing business was considered lowly by the ancients, but now it is dubbed as serving the country through industry, which sounds much better.

Anyway, how appropriate is it to brag, and Wang Guorui just wants them to brag. Let those people rest assured to develop and make loans.

"The emperor really allocated 150 million yuan as a loan?" Someone asked in surprise.

Just taking out a loan of 150 million yuan, this is an incomparably huge wealth. It was amazing enough, so they had to be surprised by this. You must know that Wang Guorui's private wealth comes from many sources, including industries under various names, and even various shipyards, and he also holds the central bank's currency issuance rights. It can be said that theoretically, he also took advantage of various opportunities to use his private property to purchase a large number of plantations in the Nanyang region. After the Spaniards were driven away, a large number of plantations were included in Wang Guorui's name. And those unowned land will belong to the government. In addition, the world's largest car manufacturer, Iron Horse Automobile, is owned by Wang Guorui. At present, nobles from all over the world also use Iron Horse Automobile. Each one is expensive.

As for the Mercedes-Benz in the original history, there is no market at all. If there is no accident for Mercedes-Benz, this time and space is doomed to fail to rise. In addition to various shipyards, so many industries are Wang Guorui's private property. That's why he was able to own a wealth of two billion, which is not the first in this world, but also among the top three. As for the consortiums in the United States, they only have a role in the joke, and they can't learn it. Wang Guorui holds a gun in one hand, and then others have to accept it if they don't accept it. Can wealth be unhappy like this? Just like those Middle Eastern nobles in later generations, which one did not occupy oil fields. Privatize state property to gain wealth? Those oil tyrants directly use their power to embezzle state-owned oil fields in a reasonable and legal manner, and then one by one becomes the richest man in the world.

Although those consortiums in the United States claim to be powerful, they cannot do this and cannot privatize national property in a reasonable and legal manner. So they saw the speed at which Wang Guorui accumulated wealth. It was as if even Kazakhs had flowed out, and they had to accept it, but they couldn't do it!

Those domestic businessmen were shocked that Wang Guorui was so rich, he was so rich. But now that he spends 150 million yuan at every turn, that's really amazing.

"Yes, these are the emperor's private property. They intend to use them to help everyone start a business together. The emperor said that it is better to make a fortune alone than to make a fortune together, and the emperor also said that if you want to make a fortune together, of course it is the best. And all the people in the world are the emperor's people, so we can all make a fortune together, and then serve the country with industry!"

"Okay, I'll expand production right away. But the machines seem to be quite expensive!"

"You can rent it, as the emperor said, you can rent it, you don't have to buy it. You will still be using it at that time, but you can get more than ten times the machine for the same money! As long as you can start production as soon as possible, that's all. is allowed!"

"There is such a good thing, can the machine be rented?"

"Of course, this is what the emperor came up with. It will allow you to expand production as soon as possible, and then make a profit as soon as possible!"

"Great, so we can all make a lot of money."

On the other hand, many female textile workers in a foreigner's textile factory in Shanghai must have heard about this period in Chengdu.

"Sister, we can't work here for less than six hours a day, but the final harvest is less than half of that of the male workers in other factories, but the working time is half an hour longer than them. Is this fair?" someone whispered.

In some coastal areas, some western businessmen invested in the textile industry here, and they took a fancy to the low price of human resources in China. And this actually means that China's current industrial level is not high, and there are a large number of rural unemployed people, so they fancy this resource is cheap. However, those former Manchu officials who exploited their own country's businessmen showed mercy to those foreign businessmen and gave them great support, which made the domestic industries even worse. Many industries were unable to develop, and industrialization was delayed.

And the female textile workers in these factories are the most tragic. They originally went to the city, and women in China seldom go out to work. And if these female workers were not forced to, where would they come out to do things? And even if they come out to work, their income is very low, and they even work more than male workers in other factories, but their income is less than half of that of male workers. This is Hongguoguo's gender discrimination. In this era, both the East and the West have serious gender discrimination, but the West is relatively less serious than China.

The most important manifestation is the unequal pay between male and female workers for equal work. Female workers sometimes do much more than male workers, but their income is much less than that of male workers. This situation is simply commonplace in this era, and it is the same in the entire Eastern and Western societies. The oppression of those female workers is very severe. And the female workers can only choose to be patient, because no one is better than anyone else in this era, because no matter where these female workers go, the same is true, they have no choice.

"Sister, why don't you say we can start a factory by ourselves? Didn't you say that if we want to have our own textile factory, then we can treat us sisters well and not be exploited like this?"

But the older female worker asked: "Can we do it? Can we start our own factories? Women can also start their own factories?"

"Yes, why not? His Majesty the Emperor said that except polygamy is the only one that is currently allowed, other powers are also available. So even women can open factories as long as they want. Even if If you pass the exam, you can gain political rights, and even become an official! And we just set up a textile factory, so what does it matter?"

"But we don't have any money! It costs a lot of money to open such a big factory, and it costs a lot of money to build a factory building and buy machinery!"

"We can go to the Royal Bank for a loan! And there is a small interest-free loan~www.readwn.com~ Each of us has a loan of 50 yuan or 100 yuan, so we can accumulate it together, isn't it enough?"

"But the money is not enough, not even enough to buy machinery!"

"Sister, it doesn't matter, we can rent it! We can rent a machine with only a small amount of money. In this way, although we have little money, we can still rent it. As long as we can sell it at that time, then we can continue Quickly expand the number of people, and then bring all the sisters from this factory there!"

And Wang Guorui didn't expect that his own policies would create the first batch of women entrepreneurs in China. And those western textile factories almost fainted in the toilet, because they invested a lot of machinery, spent huge costs, and had to bear a lot of depreciation costs for the machinery, and then they were disabled by those female workers relying on the rented machinery . Wang Guorui's method of buying is worse than renting has really killed many Western light industry businessmen who came to China to invest. The cost of their purchase of machinery is many times that of local businessmen, and Chinese factories directly rely on this method of buying rather than renting, and the cost has been reduced a lot. Therefore, they couldn't compete at all, and coupled with the domestic government's support for local companies, foreigners like them were driven out of the Chinese market one after another.
