Kunshan County, like Suzhou City, now has thousands of households buzzing with noise.
With the strong support of Mr. Zhao, and the strong support of Jiangnan Bank and Jiangnan Textile, more than 200 new textile factories have been opened in the county in recent years In addition to weaving silk, there are also weaving, weaving, and silk beating. Many upstream and downstream industries, such as warp-drawing, warp-drawing joints, and cross-stitching, have also sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Kunshan is adjacent to Suzhou City to the west, Jiading Prefecture to the east, Taicang Changshu to the north, and Songjiang Prefecture to the south. It is located in the heart of the Susong area. The Wusong River and Lou River run through the entire territory, and the river network is criss-crossed and connected to various states and counties, making transportation extremely convenient. When Mr. Zhao built the Zhaogong Embankment, which solved the flooding problem that had plagued Kunshan for hundreds of years, and brought schistosomiasis under control, Kunshan County, which had been rid of the chronic disease, could finally realize its great potential.
In order to encourage the development of industry and commerce in the county, Mr. Zhao strictly prohibited petty officials from harassing merchants, and erected a monument to ensure that in addition to the court's industrial and commercial taxes, the county would never charge a penny more! Locals are also strictly prohibited from bullying outsiders, and subordinate officials are not allowed to harass refugees in order to attract outsiders to come and work.
Jiangnan Bank also actively provides low-interest loans to weavers. In addition to providing turnover for purchasing raw silk, it also encourages weavers to purchase more looms and expand production scale.
Jiangnan Textile not only signed underwriting contracts with weavers, but also provided them with business guidance - mainly based on the scientific management methods taught by Mr. Zhao in the executive class, including production standardization, piece-rate wage system, functional foreman system, etc. management reform.
This kind of reform has a particularly prominent effect on the silk weaving industry, an industry with highly technical and specialized production. It can summarize and combine the experience and knowledge accumulated by weavers over many years with traditional techniques, conduct analysis and comparison, and find out the commonalities and regularities.
??Simply put, it means replacing experience with science, standardizing tools, operations, labor movements, and labor environments. Because only by implementing standardization can weavers adopt more effective working methods, thereby improving labor productivity, and their work performance can be measured fairly and reasonably.
At first, the uneducated weavers wholeheartedly rejected such cumbersome rules and regulations. It¡¯s just that Jiangnan Textile regards scientific management as a rigid condition for ensuring production and sales. Jiangnan Bank also stated that weaving households that do not complete the scientific management reform within one year will stop issuing loans. They had to bite the bullet and learn how to collect, record and compile traditional production experiences into tables under the guidance of counselors, and then summarize them into rules and codes, and then implement them in the entire factory.
As a result, a few months later, those factories that had undergone thorough management reforms had a completely new look. Not only has the output of each worker been greatly increased, but the quality of production has also been greatly improved. Not only did weavers get higher incomes, but their enthusiasm for production and improving technology was also greatly increased.
Of course, those who benefit the most are the weavers who own the means of production Oh yes, now let¡¯s call the factory owners. They find that the income from each loom is directly doubled. Although the weavers were given one day off every eight days and their wages were doubled, they also made twice as much profit!
The power of role models is infinite, not to mention those who make money. After seeing the power of scientific management, this year all the spinning mills, weaving mills, silk weaving mills, printing and dyeing mills, and jacquard mills in the county followed suit. Although there is no professional guidance and most of the work is done according to the needs of others, it is more or less effective. At least the labor-management relationship is no longer so tense, and the workers are in the mood to talk and laugh.
It turns out that when the boss saw the workers joking and going to the toilet, he thought it was a waste of time and would yell at them or even punch them. Factory owners don't care about this now. They just need to complete the standard workload every day
??~~
In the south of Kunshan County, west of Jiufangqiao, there is a small silk factory with twenty looms.
Each loom is one foot long and seven feet high, and its structure is also very complex. Under the control of skilled weavers, countless warp threads shuttle rhythmically between machines to weave silk of different colors.
On weekdays, you can hear the clicking sound of looms in the workshop from a distance outside.
But today, the workshop was quiet, and twenty looms stopped in unison. The weavers put down their work and gathered together gloomily, discussing the matter that made them panic.
"Boss, are my parents really leaving?" The weavers looked forward to the factory owner who brought the bad news.
"It's eighty percent true. It's spread on the street. Doesn't my brother-in-law work at Kunkaisi? I heard their manager said that they had already held a meeting to discuss how to send off their old parents." The factory owner sighed with red eyes. He said in a tone: "Oh, I didn't sleep all night after hearing about this. Normally it's a good thing for my parents to get promoted, but I just can't bear to let him go"
"Isn't this nonsense?"?The old parents are our reborn parents, how can we let them go! "The weavers immediately felt as if they were mourning for their heirs, and were extremely depressed.
Although Mr. Zhao ordered people to hide his appointment, there is no airtight wall in the world. The news that the old parents are about to leave is still spreading like wildfire.
When the squires heard the news, they quickly tried their best to find out, and it turned out that it was indeed true. As soon as the official documents arrived next month, the old parents would set off south.
The squires knew about it, and the whole county knew about it immediately.
At this time, the people of Kunshan couldn't sit still at all. They dropped their work in fear and poured into the streets from various spinning factories, weaving factories, silk weaving factories, printing and dyeing factories, and jacquard factories, and gathered on Yaqian Street. .
Looking at the crowd outside the gate, they were ready to rush into the Yamen at any time. The little boy Yu Xu was so frightened that he almost peed his pants and hurriedly beat the gong to summon the yamen servants to come out and suppress him.
"You are blind!" The concierge, Uncle Yu, was still calm. He snatched the mallet from his cousin's hand, glared at him and said, "This is not here to cause trouble. Didn't you hear the people shouting that they want to see their parents?"
"What does that have to do with blindness?" Yu Xu muttered in a low voice.
"You are just blind. Didn't you see that they were excited and excited, but they didn't throw away the garbage?" Yu Men said as if he had been there before: "That's right. In the past two years, the garbage has not fallen to the ground, and those things are no longer seen on the street. Thinking back to those days, Inspector Su Song and Lin Pingzhi were almost buried alive by the rotten eggs of the Kunshan elders."
¡°And there¡¯s this section¡± Yu Xu couldn¡¯t help but marvel. He came to Kunshan too late, and what he saw was that the houses were in good condition and the roads were clean.
"Uncle Yu, are our parents really going to abandon us?" At this time, a neighbor saw Yu Xu and shouted loudly The uncle's "ye" was pronounced twice, not away.
"Ah, is there any?" Yu Men didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he laughed and said, "I'm just an insignificant doorman, so I don't know anything about the great master."
"Then please ask the old parents to come out and tell us clearly!" A young man shouted: "If the court really wants him to leave, we will go to Suzhou and Nanjing to petition, and we must keep the old parents!"
"Yes, we can't live without our old parents. Life has only been better for a few days. If the dog officer comes up, he will become a beggar in Kunshan again!" The people beat their chests and stamped their feet, and their screams went straight into the sky and reached the yamen.
"That is, we only recognize old parents. If anyone dares to take his seat, we will break his legs and drive him out of Kunshan!"
Zhao Shouzheng and He Wenwei were listening behind the screen wall.
"It's not that bad to be a lower-ranking official, right?" Lao He was deeply shocked and almost burst into tears.
"They're talking about dog officials, why are you so anxious to get ahead?" Mr. Zhao scolded with a smile.
"But I will take over the position of the eldest master." He Wenwei said aggrievedly.
"Hypocritical, people may not know it's you." Zhao Shouzheng rolled his eyes at him, straightened his clothes, and was about to walk out of the screen wall.
¡°Where are you going, sir?¡± The three of them quickly grabbed him.
"Don't you hear the people calling for me? I'll go out and tell them clearly." Zhao Shouzheng said matter-of-factly.
"Absolutely not." Xiong Xiasheng hurriedly advised in a low voice: "The people are too excited. At this time, they will not listen to what the great master says, unless the great master expresses his intention to stay."
"How is that possible?!" He Wenwei said anxiously: "Well, I mean, your Excellency was demoted when he came to Kunshan, how can you keep him trapped here?"
"Yeah." Bai Shouli blinked, then nodded after hesitating. In fact, he wanted to say that it would be good for the adults to stay. Everyone can also play mahjong together. Anyway, to him, there is no difference between the chief bookkeeper and the county magistrate.
But the difference with He Wenwei was huge. In order not to offend the future great master, Lao Bai still had to give a symbolic echo. But don't be too enthusiastic, lest you leave a bad impression on the current eldest man.
"Well, what should we do?" Unsurprisingly, Mr. Zhao has no charter.
"It's better to let the lower officials stabilize them first and persuade them to go back. Then call in the security chiefs and armor chiefs to do the work of getting through those people first, and then let those people help pacify the citizens." Xiong Xiasheng is very smart and capable, otherwise Zhao Hao would not choose him to accompany his father to take office.
"To be honest, don't be upset, adults. The reason why the citizens are so excited is actually because they are worried that the good days that have been unrealistic in the past few years will come to naught. As long as they take the right medicine and eliminate their fears, they will naturally not stop them. Your future."
¡°That¡¯s good, I¡¯ll help you persuade me!¡± He Wenwei cheered up and wanted to fight for his dignity. "I promised them that Kunshan will never deviate from the great master's plan. Is there any problem now?"
"Go, but you have a bad mouth, so you'd better say less." Mr. Zhao nodded and told He Wenwei worriedly.
"Uh, alas" Lao He nodded helplessly. In fact, he also knew his fault, but he just couldn't change it. What could he do?
The two of them turned around the screen wall and came to the gate of the county government office. Xiong Xiasheng, the county police chief, is quite intimidating. As soon as he showed up, the crowd's voice immediately dropped by three points.
