Chapter 753: One is worth ten
It has to be said that the entire royal palace’s control over Dingnan and Jiaozhi is no longer the extensive management as before. Now, as time goes by, it has begun to gradually be refined. For example, although there is no yellow book system here, there is also household registration, which is convenient for management. {3w.
This also provides convenience to Hao Fenglou.
The household registrations of the two provinces are as many as 8 million, and the population is probably more than 20 million, of which half of the Han people are.
There are more than 9,000 registered workshops in the two provinces, with different sizes and sizes. Some workshops recruit thousands of craftsmen, while others are only a dozen people in scale, covering all-round, including steel, pottery, porcelain, wooden tools, chariots, horses, textiles, etc.
Because of the foundation of workshops, many industries have blossomed. For example, books, and newspapers are published every year. As knowledge is gradually popularized, text has become a tool for many people to enjoy. In addition, there are more than 70 theaters. The emergence of handicrafts and primary industries has completely defeated the self-sufficient small peasant economy in the past. The so-called small peasant economy is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation. They are all cooked by themselves, cultivated by themselves, milled by themselves, and textiles by themselves. They may be trapped in the countryside for a lifetime, and rarely travel far.
However, the emergence of workers and craftsmen has simply caused a finer division of labor in the industry. Because of the work on time, ready-made garments have emerged, which has led to the prosperity of wine and food shops, and thus made the carriages have begun to sell well. The emergence of this change has accelerated the prosperity, and many industries have emerged, forming industrial links.
Because of this, the two provinces of Jiaozhi and Dingnan are no longer the same as before. In addition, the current railway network has begun to take shape. At least the railway from Lang Son to Jiaozhou, from Jiaozhou to Dacheng has been completed, and other branches are also continuing to be developed, which makes the exchanges between personnel and goods more convenient.
In fact, Hao Fenglou understood that everything is implemented throughout the world. It is nothing more than two words: efficiency.
Because of the subdivision of social functions, efficiency has been greatly improved. Take textiles as an example. Small farmers and small households, textile machines are often passed down from ancestors. They repair and repair them in the east and use them in the west, and are barely used. Moreover, the technical level is extremely backward. As for textile women, they are not familiar female workers after all. They need to take care of children, cook, and take shoes and women's red. This textile. After all, it is just an amateur. They use the oldest textile machine. A woman who is not familiar with them may only weave two pieces of cloth throughout the year. Not only is the quality low, no color, but also has low efficiency.
The emergence of the workshop was also a female worker. They used the most advanced textile machines. They worked in the workshop every day, so they were extremely skilled and skilled. Because they had a salary, they could focus on their work, and other more professional people could be responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Therefore, a female worker often produced as many as a hundred pieces of cloth throughout the year.
The same person has hundreds of times more efficient, which means that there must be a hundred women in the small peasant economy to be worth a female worker in the workshop. In this way, the quality of the cloth, the color, etc. have not been calculated yet.
This is true for textiles, and in other industries, the blacksmith shop in the countryside, the same blacksmith, may only be a few kilograms of steel made in a day, because his production tools are just a bellows and a forging table. However, a craftsman in the steel workshop can produce hundreds of kilograms of steel after one day, because they use blast furnaces and the most advanced bellows, which divides the work and works together. Everyone focuses on doing their own things, so in every program, the craftsman who works can ensure that the efficiency of the work is top-notch.
It is precisely because the same people adopt different production methods, but the things they produce are so different, which means that everyone in Lang Son has ten times the ability and efficiency of small farmers, ten times a hundred times the efficiency of ten times a hundred times, and the things they produce are ten times a hundred times. Then the annual output value of these 20 million people is no less than that of the Ming Dynasty's population. And the fact is that many cloth and silk production in the Ming Dynasty have been surpassed by the small Lang Son. The annual steel volume of Ming Dynasty is far from that of Dingnan and Jiaozhi. In this way, if the population is deducted and the factors of territory are also due to this point alone, Ming may not be a rival of Lang Son.

Due to the subdivision of various industries, this has also led to a change in the functions of the government.
There was a tradition in a county in the Ming Dynasty that the so-called regime did not go to the county. The court appointed only one county magistrate, one county magistrate, and one chief clerk to manage it. These officials only needed to recruit a few servants to manage tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.
The reason for this is that in this place where production forms are single, there are actually not many affairs. A county is nothing more than a dozen major surnames. Everyone is looking for food on the ground. Even if there is something, the patriarchal law can deal with it. There are only a few scholars, only hundreds of people, so there is basically no need to worry about it.
But it is different here. It is the same county, so it must cover the needs. First of all, because most of the people here are foreign populations, and patriarchal law is no longer a link to society. Therefore, public security issues are inevitable to establish a special police bureau. Because disputes are no longer just a dispute between the villagers, there must be a special judicial agency, and no longer a county magistrate to make public opinion. So special judges also appear. Therefore, industry and commerce are developed, and the government must manage workshops, so a special industrial and commercial bureau also appears. Because taxes become more and more complex, the taxes collected by different industries are very different, and they are no longer a single agricultural tax, so the tax bureau also appears.
