Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 298 The Prosperous Capital

In the following period of time, the civil and military ministers of the imperial court began to get busy.

When it comes to being busy, the staff of the Propaganda Department dare to say that they are second, and absolutely no one dares to say that they are first.

It can be said that the Propaganda Department was mobilized as a whole, and these propagandists could be seen in every township of Daming.

In the 18th year of Chongzhen, January NO.20.

Taiyuan Prefecture, under the jurisdiction of a small town, Changfeng Town.

Today, Changfeng Town is extremely lively, with countless people coming from all over the world.

Because today is the day when a new issue of "Da Ming Times" is released.

The newspaper readers of the imperial court will explain the new issue of news content to all the people who come in Changfeng Town.

In the central square of Changfeng Town, the people who came to listen to the news sat on the ground.

The newspaper reader focused on explaining to everyone the two recent policies of the imperial court.

One is the land reform, that is, the imperial court pays money to buy back land from the common people at high prices.

The other is to build the capital. The imperial court welcomes every common people of the Ming Dynasty to go to the capital and participate in the modernization of the capital.

Here you are, a native of Beijing!
This is the slogan of the Propaganda Department.

As soon as the voice fell, the common people on the ground fell into a crazy discussion.

"Is it true that one mu of barren land costs five taels of silver, and one mu of fertile land costs ten taels of silver?"

"And go to the capital to participate in the construction. The imperial court promised to give each builder a monthly payment of two taels of silver, and return the capital account. Is there such a good thing?"

Not only Changfeng Town, but also countless villages and towns in Daming had the same scene at this time.

The common people are discussing fiercely, what impact these two court policies will have on their lives!
……

Chongzhen 18th year, January 25th!
Kaifeng Prefecture, Hanchuan County.

Today, in the central square of Hanchuan County, there will be a troupe presenting a good show to everyone.

People around the county rushed to Hanchuan County in groups, just to enjoy the wonderful drama.

Along the way, there were constant discussions.

"Tell me, what do you think of the two studies announced by the newspaper readers?"

"The policy is very attractive. At least I am tempted. I wish I could sell the land for money, go to the capital to participate in the construction, and settle down in the capital from then on."

"I think so too, but spring plowing is about to begin, and I can't bear to abandon my family business and leave my hometown for the capital."

The dramas performed by the theater troupe for everyone today are all newly edited by the Propaganda Department.

There are "Welcome to the Capital", "You Are a People from the Capital", "Those Days in the Capital", and "Building a Beautiful and Prosperous Capital".

This drama is mainly intended to convey a concept to the common people.

Only by going to the capital to participate in the construction can you live a happy life.

As soon as the drama was performed, many ordinary people on the ground were tempted. They wanted to go to the capital to live a fairy-like life!
Some people have even decided to sell those acres of Susukida to the imperial court when they go back, and then move their families to live in the capital.

……

In the 18th year of Chongzhen, January NO.30.

Xi'an Mansion, Lijiazhuang.

Lijiazhuang is a relatively large village, with more than 1000 people, men, women and children.

Today, every villager in Lijiazhuang is looking forward to the arrival of the court propaganda team.

The last time the troupe came to Lijiazhuang to sing a big play, I said before leaving that there will be a movie going to the countryside in a few days, and there will be wonderful movies for everyone.

The villagers in Lijiazhuang didn't know what a movie was, but they heard from the troupe that the movie was a hundred times more exciting than the theater.

So, they've been looking forward to it for days.

just now.

The court's propagandists came to their Lijiazhuang, and they could finally see what a movie is and whether it is more exciting than a drama.

At the village head of Lijiazhuang, there is a very large grain drying field, which will be used to show movies today.

The movie shown is very suitable for the occasion and is closely related to the current imperial policy.

"My Happy Life in Beijing"

The movie tells the inspirational story of a beggar who went to the capital to participate in the construction under the enlistment of the imperial court. After several years of hard work, he finally married a wife and had children, and settled down in the capital.

After the movie was shown, all the villagers in Lijiazhuang were deeply shocked.

Movies are such a magical thing that everyone is horrified enough.

Unexpectedly, the story told by the movie also deeply attracted them.

These days, the center of the topic in Lijiazhuang is how they should respond to the two policies of the imperial court.

To be honest, some people want to go to the capital to fight.

But in the face of the silence of most people, they compromised.

But now.

After watching the movie, they have already made up their minds.

Pack your luggage and rush to the capital immediately.

Even a dirty beggar can live so well in the capital, why can't they?
……

Chongzhen 18th year, February [-]th.

On this day, there was a severe drought, the rivers dried up, and countless fields were cracked.

Countless victims of disasters across the country began to flee the famine, and countless people flowed towards the capital.

Although they were fleeing famine, none of the victims showed an expression of despair.

On the contrary, on the way to escape famine, there were laughter everywhere.

Because they are going to build the capital.

If they still had concerns before, they would feel sorry for their ancestors after leaving their hometown.

But now, everyone no longer has this worry. There is a severe drought in the world and there is no grain harvest. After selling the fields to the court, they can leave everything behind and go to the capital.

Moreover, on the way for everyone to go to the capital, the imperial court arranged receptions at intervals and prepared rations for everyone, so as not to collapse on the road due to exhaustion.

This scene made everyone feel the warm sincerity of the imperial court.

……

After the disaster victims arrived in the capital, officials who had prepared them for a long time took them to various places in the capital. Some worked as construction workers, some entered factories as textile workers, and there were many other places to go.

In the next few years, the entire capital city was completely turned into a large construction site, with construction going on everywhere!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.

Chongzhen 28 years.

This year is destined to be recorded in history.

Because through the joint efforts of tens of millions of migrant workers, the construction of the capital was finally completed.

At this point, a modern capital city will stand at the pinnacle of the Ming world and be immortal forever.

Chen Fan looked at the completely new capital in front of him, which was much more prosperous than the capital ten years ago.

The central city area, education area, commercial area, residential area, and industrial area are exactly the same as Chen Fan's original plan.

Clean and tidy asphalt roads, subway lines extending in all directions, endless stream of cars, magnificent high-rise buildings...

All of this makes Chen Fan almost confused whether this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty or the bustling city of the modern world.

at last.

After ten years of hard work, Chen Fan completed the task arranged by the system and built Daming Capital into the most prosperous city in the world.

Today, Chen Fan did it.
