“Why do you protect the workers?”

The Queen asked.

It is obvious that Yang Qing's approach is not very well understood, after all, there are countless factories in her own hands...

It can really be said that there are countless.

Steel, textiles, cement...

At present, almost all kinds of factories in the control area of the Ming Dynasty are indispensable to their families, either they start their own or share with others, let alone a mine, north and south, sea freight in the north and south, whaling and colonial development, that is, the current cigarette factory has a large number of workers working in shifts, day and night to make a box of cigarettes...

The minimum of the family is 10 hours.

Although the supervisor does not patrol with a whip, for the poor work, it is usually a foot in the past.

This is already humane in this day and age.

That is, the high salary.

But their factories also have to control costs to avoid being squeezed out of business, and at least in terms of competition, they are still in line with liberal capitalism, but Yang Qing’s factories rely more on new technologies and new processes to control costs.In addition, it also includes a certain privilege, after all, buying the products of the national public is a sentimental investment, even if there is a slightly cheaper option, as long as it is not cheap to really exciting, or to buy the public goods of the country is the most cost-effective.In addition, the army, the emperor of these internal orders, is also Yang Qing's main, his family's factory is originally swallowed the original official factory.

But to say that the Yangqing family's factory will not strictly control the treatment of workers, it is still impossible.

Everyone has to control the cost.

If the factory in Guangzhou is completely a virtue in the United Kingdom, directly treat the worker as a cattle, and the camp factory can be close to the early nineteenth century, that is, the workers eat meat three or four times a month, and each time is very small.

The rice can be eaten.

However, the oil content of the food is still strictly controlled.

Fish are relatively cheap.

After all, there are fish everywhere in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which is stronger than the British workers in the early 19th century.

Yang Qing's factory, which is closer to the level of British workers in the late 19th century, has been able to make workers food and clothing worry-free, but it can't be said that life is very good, at least still very hard.After all, we work ten hours a day, and there is no holiday similar to Sunday, but you can take a vacation and of course there will be no paid vacation.

Yang Qing believes that this is already worthy of conscience.

Including his workers also believe that the protector of the country can be worthy of their conscience.

After all, it’s 12 hours.

The pay is lower than him.

And because they are recruited from the royal family, these workers do not need to worry about the elderly, in addition to the health care and education expenditure is relatively low, after all, the royal family has a medical center and compulsory education primary school.In general, Yang Qing does not have to worry about someone to strike, in this era of some degree, he is at least the worst, as for what eight hours of work, Sunday, paid vacation and so on to save it!

But ...

"This is not good, we don't have to worry about this, but what about the workers in the factories on the court's side also learn?"All the strike marches and even occupy the city, that is not all messy?You have to talk about a rule.”

The Queen said worriedly.

“Not only will I let them learn, but I will also give them a flag planted there!”

Yang Qing teased his son.

The Queen looked at him suspiciously.

“First of all, you have to understand what is the key to a countryman’s economy.

Is it to make money?

No, it is to maintain sustainable development.

How to maintain the sustainable development of the economy?

Overseas trade?

We are indeed constantly inhaling gold and silver from the outside, and overseas trade has brought our current prosperity.

But you have to understand that the outside market is limited.

There are about sixty thousand million people in the world, more than half of them destitute, and they can't afford anything, just like the black people in Africa, who can't afford a single piece of clothing, and India's population is only a little less than we are here, but they are also destitute.Only a small number of people outside can really consume our products, and our silk in Europe can not be worn except for the nobles, and our tea is only drunk by the rich.So exports can’t drive sustained economic prosperity, perhaps it can drive a country of 15 million people to prosper, but it is absolutely impossible to drive a country of 15 million people to continue to prosper.

We have more than a quarter of the world’s population, and our blood draws will make the countries outside poorer.This year, the amount of sugar in the country is decreasing, because they do not have enough money, so we can not expect these poor people to buy more and more of our goods.

We cannot rely on foreigners to develop the economy.

The growth of the economy can only go forward and not backward, and once backward, there will be big problems, and even the turmoil of the whole country, so in order to maintain the growth of industry, our most effective means is to expand consumption.After all, we are the richest, Damien is the richest country in the world, and we still have 155,000 people, which is the largest market in the world.

The first condition for expanding internal consumption is to let the people have money first.

Let them be able to buy things.

Let them buy more, even if it’s really unnecessary.

In the past, many women could not even afford clothes.

Our efforts over the years have made it affordable for all women to buy clothes, and the same women who bought clothes have driven the first wave of rapid growth of our economy.Now that they have clothes, we should find a way to get them to have the money to buy second-dressed clothes, and they have the money to buy second clothes to keep our economy growing.And then when they have second-dressed clothes, we have to find a way to make them afford a third body...

Do women hate more clothes?

If they had the money they would keep buying clothes, even if she bought them and wore them only once, or even if they didn’t, I remember a lot of your clothes I’ve never worn them since doing it right.There are more shoes in Zhaoren to the need for a room to bloom, so how many factories do your sisters support?

That is domestic demand.

What if they suddenly don’t have the money to buy it?

The factory stopped working at once.

Workers suddenly have no money to buy food, the surplus food of farmers suddenly no one bought, the cotton they grow suddenly no one wants, and then the farmers have no money, and then they can not afford all kinds of oil and salt vinegar products, and then more factories stop work, more workers are unemployed, and the cycle of evil continues to spread.The whole economy of the whole society suddenly collapsed, the unemployed workers were in trouble, the peasants were dissatisfied, the capitalists were bankrupt, and the whole country was in turmoil and even accidentally turned into a war shuffle.We must prevent this kind of thing, but the capitalists only want to make money, they will not think of it, they will only want to make money, if there is a benefit they will even sell to hang their rope, it is impossible to expect them to consider such a problem.

Especially when it comes to this big development.

So we're going to be the invisible hand pushing them."

Yang Qing said.

“I don’t understand!”

Her Majesty shook her head.

It is obvious that Yang Qing economics, for her mind is still a little ahead of her mind, after all, this is the accumulation of hundreds of years in the future, this era of people, completely do not understand the concept of pulling domestic demand.

"Well, then you just need to understand that I'm going to whip up the factory owners and raise the wages."

Yang Qing said.

In fact, his economics are also necessary.

Although speaking of the Ming Dynasty, it is undoubtedly looking forward to overseas trade, engaging in industry, and exporting goods all over the world to make a lot of money, but in fact the situation is the world of this era, and it cannot feed the industrial countries at the level of Ming by exporting.It is not a problem to feed Britain into the industrial age, but don't forget that when industry is full of ten million people in Britain, and this 10 million people already need to plunder the whole world to support it.It takes the British Navy’s warships to blow up markets and dump goods on the world, or they face an economic crisis and overproduction.

At that time, the world population was one billion.

The British population was only one percent of the world’s population, and an industrial Englishman exported goods to ninety-nine foreigners.

And what about the big light?

More than a half billion.

The world is only 600 million.

It is impossible for an industrialized man to export goods to three foreigners, and the current world can support the industrialization of millions of people.The current Da Ming actual industrial population has reached this number, and the reason why it has not yet been saturated is because the steam engine has just been applied.Once the steam engine is fully entered, the current industrial population already needs the Daming Navy to bomb a new market with ships.

Simply put, his development is ahead of its time.

Forward and backwardness are unsuitable times.

This vast majority of this is a time of extreme poverty that cannot consume Yang Qing's steam factory.

The solution can only be to stimulate domestic demand, engage in large-scale infrastructure construction, promote the expansion of the army to consume excess capacity, use the plunder and harvest to stimulate consumption, and more importantly, increase the income of workers to let them buy more things.It is impossible to expect the capitalists to raise wages for the workers because they have made more money, just as the gentry of Daming is tax-free and does not see them feeding the confidants.

The only way to do that is to force them.

But the protectors of the country can not force the factory owners to raise wages!

Let the workers do it themselves!

He only needs to do the behind-the-scenes push black hand, and not only this, the next Jiangnan Gongtian law will also cause a certain degree of agricultural population return, the final result is to force the factory owners to raise wages.It is also to force them to turn to the steam engine, and eventually to the steam engine to reduce the cost of increasing wages, as for the external competition can simply ignore, even Jenny machine did not evolve the British how to compete with the steam engine?
