7.9 Xingfeng(1/2)

From July 28 to August 3, 1029, the steam calendar, each of them was traveling around the country with the imperial capital as the center.

As Sugut, the instructor of the Celestial Tower Mechanical Academy, sent invitations to Binghe to the apprentices all over the country, the mechanic families across Saint Sok were all dressed in exquisite clothes, carrying boxes, and selecting gifts, and rushing towards the imperial capital.

On the imperial capital, Binghe wanted to hold a banquet according to the traditional aristocratic rules. When he asked the royal etiquette for the traditional banquet format, he finally learned the trick.

Since the Heman Empire, all the rituals of nobles have been fixed. The banquets of nobles also have etiquette systems. There are regulations on how many main tables and how many times there are when holding banquets.

The higher the aristocrats can have a banquet, the more times they can have. Historically, if the small aristocrats surpassed the system, the large aristocrats would use this as an excuse to punish the small aristocrats.

After the imperial royal etiquette respectfully explained this rule to Binghe, he also introduced the banquet regulated by the duke in detail to Binghe.

At first glance, Binghe said: it felt funny, it seemed like he was trying to find an excuse to punish him. He decided not to follow this pattern.

However, these etiquette masters immediately urgently corrected Binghu's idea and found a large number of examples of over-the-coordination in history to warn Binghu's over-the-coordination.

However, after seeing these examples, Binghe thought for a while, smiled hoarsely, and finally understood the reason why the mainland upper class maintained the banquet specifications and systems.

The power of human society lies in organization. When the banquet is determined to be a formal social occasion, being able to hold a banquet is equivalent to mastering the power of other members of the formal society.

When a small noble can only invite a limited number of nobles, then the power of the small nobles to organize others is limited. In order to limit the power of the small nobles and to prevent their subordinates from undermining themselves, the large nobles must of course limit the small nobles in the system.

If the number of invited people exceeds the number and you want to not exceed the system, the band at the banquet will not be allowed to play some music, and the dishes will not be allowed to use some tableware. The style of the dishes must also be limited, turning the banquet into an informal level. Example: The hunting party of the Yuyuan Family.

However, from the cultural atmosphere of this world, informal party representatives are not grand and have no sense of ritual, and cannot replace the role of formal banquets. Aristocrats with similar identities can shirk such informal invitations on ordinary reasons such as busyness. This is similar to the 21st century. If you buy spicy chips and coke, you can invite classmates with good personal relationships to come and invite subordinates to support you, but if you want to ask the leader to have a meal, then the leader will probably roll your eyes and scold, "I'm busy!"

The etiquette cited so many cases of over-the-coordination in history, which also shows that this system is not absolutely reliable. For example, when West was on the verge of demise, West's nobles did not care about over-the-coordination and began to connect.

In recent years, the Gangluan family has been regaining their authority. After a few years, after stabilizing the domestic situation, 99% of them have settled the score with these families. After Binghe returned to Saint Sok, the Fengyuan family and the Blood Rose family still invested heavily in the Yan family's industries in the Sea Crab Port. It was definitely not that they really had technical vision, but that they were afraid.

[And now, Binghe is also preparing to exceed the system. With the face of entanglement and helplessness of the royal etiquette master, Binghe directly set the position of the main table at the banquet seven times. It is not unreasonable.]

The royal etiquette master reported this to the royal family, and both the emperor and Chanhong laughed it off. He did not scold Bingke on this issue. This made the royal etiquette masters have to bite the bullet and prepare for Bingke.

The reason is very simple. If you use the excuse of "over-order" to punish your ministers, it is usually the great lord who feels the threat from your ministers.

Binghe's actions at this time made the royal family feel no threat.

First: The knights serving around Binghe are all royal, Binghe means not to expand the influence of the Gun Flame family in the imperial military and political affairs.

Second: Binghe invited none of the people invited by Binghe from the Imperial Military Family. Even the invitations sent to the mechanics families of those with war responsibilities such as Pulley, Round Gear, and Qingjun also named the names of the mechanics who asked the mechanics to attend.

This banquet was not a military aristocratic meeting at all, so the emperor only smiled at Binghe's "no matters" and said to the royal etiquette: "Since this child wants to have fun, let him go. It's not good to control him in such a small matter."

On August 14, 1029, Binghe held a banquet for industrial cooperation in the manor under the name of the royal family of an empire in the upper city of the Empire. This opened a new history of the Hagia Sok Empire.

Gun Yan Binghe took Chen Jia to receive more than 100 members of the mechanic family from all over the Empire and toasted the mechanics in front of the tables.

Binghe's performance at the banquet on the 14th naturally spread to the traditional aristocratic circle. In the eyes of traditional aristocrats in the imperial capital, the reason why all the mechanics in the empire were held to hold a gathering of mechanics in the empire was that Binghe liked the excitement and was mixed with the lower professionals regardless of their identity. This was just a whim of young people, and it was no big deal.

However, in fact, Binghe was very pragmatic at the banquet and asked these mechanics to stay in the imperial capital for a month. In the next month, Binghe would take these mechanics to inspect the industrial layout of the imperial capital and sent them a trip chart. On the itinerary, Binghe would have a full trip for this month.

During the conversation with Binghe, the mechanic was surprised to find that Binghe had "a little heard" in his family's industries - information provided by the instructors of Sugut and many other celestial tower academy.

The small factories controlled by these small mechanics families were usually passed down for three to seven generations, and they were scattered in the territories of various lords of the empire.

Some provide steam machinery for inland boats in the south.

Some were responsible for repairing firearms under the territory of the northern military aristocratic territories.

Some are also responsible for the operation of trains and maintenance of high-end horse-drawn carriages in a city.

Due to the fact that the formal social occasions were monopolized by the nobles, there was no cooperation between each other. For a long time, the small industries of the empire have been so single and isolated. It can be said that today is the first time that we met together on this occasion and felt familiar.

After Binghe took the juice and walked around the banquet for a whole circle, he roughly determined the authenticity of the information in the machinery institute, and he felt relieved.

Binghe said to Chen Jia who was beside him: "I should have thought of this earlier. If I had thought of it earlier, I wouldn't have had to be so tired half a month ago."

Chen Jia looked at Binghe in confusion.

Binghe further explained: "Chenjia, no one is a genius, there are outstanding talents in all fields. In the future, when encountering difficulties, don't be single and do it."

Binghe is talking about himself, half a month ago, the process of internal combustion engines was studied hard by Binghe. He was obsessed with trying to work on the entire production line with his own strength, but he ended up hitting a very tragic wall.

But after hitting the wall, Binghe suddenly thought: "If he could research the production line that ordinary people could master, there was no reason why others could not research it. On the other hand, the same principle is the same. If he had been studying for several months, others might have mastered this technology long after several generations."

This idea prompted Binghe to find his mentor, and the situation was really determined here in Sugot. The parts indicators that Binghe asked for were made by the Empire, and it could supply in large quantities.

As for why Sugot is so clear, the Imperial Machinery Academy recruits students, and Sugot wants to purchase parts to make some of his own gadgets, so these civilian students have helped Sugot get it. Several mechanical controller tutors in the Imperial Machinery Academy have taught for decades, and the channels are very informative.

However, the mentors of the Celestial Tower only have channels and no political resources. This has led to the inability of the empire's complex technological trees to be integrated and developed.

In fact, when Binghe was studying at the Celestial Tower Academy, he noticed this problem of the Imperial Mechanics class.

This class is not short of money. After a trial, Bingshuo can raise a huge sum of 320,000 lira with just a casual statement. What the class of Imperial Mechanics lacks is political commitment.

[And there is no extra political commitment to them. The position of the imperial ruling class is limited. Including the royal family, no one can give political commitments to others without restrictions.]

If a median family gives hundreds of small families a political promise, they will be sneered and kept a distance by the median family of the same level, and then squeeze the fat political group at the same time.

In "Tongjian", Zhang Tao pointed out that Yang Guozhong's huge power was not Mount Tai but an iceberg, which is the reason. Later, when the powerful military vassal states of the Tang Dynasty made efforts, Yang Guozhong's huge power disappeared.

When hundreds of small families that are unable to provide political responsibility are all dependent on a guy who can provide political responsibility to strengthen public opinion, then a huge force seems to be the core force that can provide political responsibility collapses, and will collapse directly without cohesion.

Only military industry and military are linked to political responsibilities within Saint Sok.

Because it was the steam era, the military industry responsibilities, families like gun flames and pulsers could handle the responsibilities with the power of their own family. The technology of the steam era was not used to fulfill the technology of other small families at all. Therefore, they never made political promises to these small mechanic families, and these small mechanic families could only find ways to defect to other nobles themselves.

The pulser and gun flames only give political promises to those knights whose families have fallen, and the aimers. The military industry families marry their daughters and recommend them, and they also look for these military elites, because these knights and aimers have the ability to assume political responsibilities after entering the army.

However, this set of political rules has been playing in the UK for hundreds of years!

While drinking and drinking at the banquet, Binghe further learned about the workshop technical strength of each small family.

I was inspired by my feelings: "In the past, I thought that productivity restricts production relations as the most important thing. Now! The empire forced me to admit that my textbooks in my previous life were right!"

On August 14, 1029, the powerful mechanics united to create the prototype of the bourgeois alliance in the Western Continent. The creation of this prototype is by no means simply to gather the mechanics from all over the country to feast and listen to their praises.

If that were the case, just like Wang Mang in history, he would create something that was just showing reality but not practical.

Binghe traveled and investigated the entire Western continent. Now Binghe has mastered the planning plan for the Second Industrial Revolution and has arranged hundreds of small factories from the empire into the industrial chain of the Second Industrial Revolution in his notebook.

As one of the world's top mechanical controllers, Binghe has reached the limit of the world's mechanical controllers. Although Binghe himself dared not say that he is the most genius mechanical controller, Binghe has determined that even if he is two or three times more talented than him, it will not change the future fact: in the future, the political responsibility for military production in the electrical era will no longer be the military industry family, but the military industry alliance.

From August 15 to September 10, Binghe went to the new factory with these invited mechanics, and then discussed the cooperation plan with them one by one.

In Binghe's plan, each collaborator signs an industrial part industry contract every three years, and each company discusses technical cooperation issues together every year.

After learning about Binghe’s plan, these mechanics also stayed in the imperial capital happily and sent good news back to their families with carrier pigeons.

After the information was sent back to all parts of the country, the mechanics who Binghe did not invite were shameless after hearing the news to see if they could find an opportunity. However, they bet right, and Binghe would not refuse anyone.

September 5th.

Outside Binghe's office, the heads of small families were sitting outside the door, and each small business owner was waiting with the completed application form, waiting with anticipation. After being summoned at the door, they all sorted out their clothes and walked in.

Most of the mechanics who walked out were satisfied with the contract and thanked Binghe for leaving the room.

All negotiations went very smoothly.

Because Binghe is very sincere. Binghe can take the initiative to raise any issues related to production, which are embarrassed to raise by the small factory owners. Binghe can propose to help them solve them.

Example 1: Insufficient staff, Binghe told them that they could provide basic workers training classes in the imperial capital.

Example 2: If the funds are insufficient, Bingshu can directly take out loans. The petty bourgeoisie below these days is still very simple and has not had the courage to cheat loans and run away.

Example 3: The factory was blackmailed by other local lords. Binghe wrote a letter directly to remind the local lord, Binghe, a small factory, that Binghe, had already invested in the shares and would not accept any harassment except for paying legal taxes.

In the small room, the Empire sent the knights to Binghe, watching all this happen throughout the journey. These confused warriors still didn't know what the current situation meant for the future.

In the office where the contract was signed, Chen Jia was working with Binghe.

Binghe used the excuse of signing himself and not being too tired to wash his hands all the time, so he directly held Chen Jia's little hand, glued it on the red ink, and pressed it on the contract. While pressing the handprints, he introduced the mechanics: "This is my disciple."

Chen Jia consciously pressed his handprints under Binghe's arrangement while being amazed.

In Chen Jia's eyes, Binghe spent a lot of money to hold this banquet, and he spent 2.4 million lira in just a few days. Chen Jia wanted to remind Binghe that the family's fiscal revenue last year was only 12 million silver coins, but looking at Binghe's calm expression, Chen Jia thought that Binghe was also bold and bold at Westport Port, so Chen Jia decided to shut up modestly.

[On September 10, after the industrial production conference ended, Binghe gave these mechanics a farewell ceremony.]

At the farewell party, faced many mechanics with smiles.

Binghe said seriously: "In three years, I will give you enough profits, enough independent production rights to update the production chain, and political support. In three years, the entire production alliance will re-select suppliers. I remind you not to do any wrong ways, and you also believe that I will never let others use wrong ways to destroy fair competition. I only look at technology."

Speaking of this, Binghe glanced at a middle-aged mechanic on the corner. The middle-aged mechanic was Bai Lian's father. Binghe said in a focused tone: "I am optimistic about the technology of some people, but some things are unnecessary." Binghe looked at him because he really wanted to go that way in the past half month, and he had already claimed that he had made it through, which had caused some bad effects in the entire industrial conference. The other mechanic families were afraid to compete with him, which made Binghe have to explain to those mechanics one by one, so that they boldly supply parts and concentrate on technology, and they would not have any bias.

So if this capitalist finds that he has unique resources, he will never let it go.

Then Binghe looked at everyone: "Please believe in your efforts. During my tenure, the Gun Yan Family Industrial Alliance was absolutely fair."

After sending everyone away, Binghe sorted out the contract signed for a month overnight, and Binghe fell into deep thought.

Chen Jia was right about worrying. Binghe spent too much money and supported small factory owners across the country, spending a full six million imperial lira.

Although with Bingshui's current reputation, raising 30 million lira is not a problem. However, the fundraising will eventually have to be paid back.

If these emerging industrial chains cannot successfully return funds, the deficit will become larger and larger. As Binghe's reputation declines and you cannot borrow money, the capital chain of the entire industrial revolution will be broken. - If it develops normally, emerging industries will not be able to recover funds in the territory of St. Sok

The population of Saint Sauk is nearly 300 million, 90% of which are extremely poor, while the traditional aristocrats who have a large amount of funds are self-sufficient economy in the pastoral model. However, the consumption scale of this group of people is too small. Each traditional aristocrat, even if one person buys ten electric fans, ten TVs, and ten cars, the market is very small.

The system of Saint Sok itself is a serfdom country, a serfdom country, with extremely low consumption power for industrial products and cannot afford industrialization.

Only by completely replacing horse-drawn carriage transportation with automobile transportation can we make the funds absorbed by the forage industry into the coal chemical industry and turn into the oil price market. Only by revitalizing the machinery manufacturing industry and the coal chemical industry can we revitalize the machinery manufacturing industry. But how easy is to revitalize it?!

The word "war," is in Binghe's mind again. When he thought of this word, Binghe's face became heavy.
