I am the king of the dead

That's why Zhu Qiyu spent a lot of trouble.

The Ming Dynasty is no longer the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when Vientiane was renewed, the North and the South were separated, and supplies were scarce. Nobility, officials, and craftsmen should not be allowed to only talk about dedication and not about harvest. Zhu Qiyu must ensure that those who follow him have a certain amount of material enjoyment.

The material base determines the superstructure, and those who "devote" to the emperor cannot be allowed to live a life of wishing for plums and quenching thirst as they would have with bread and milk.

The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were so busy that they had to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, but they didn't have any security, nor did they have any social status to speak of.

Then the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty will continue to contribute?

This is obviously very unmaterialistic.

Zhu Qiyu stepped on the ground and said: "There are pipes buried under the feet, and hot water is injected to keep warm in winter, and ice water is injected to keep cool in summer. It is warm in winter and cool in summer."

"Husband, do you plan to live here permanently?" Ran Siniang asked worriedly.

Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, this living room is so comfortable, will your Majesty return to Tai'an Palace?

What about the concubines of Tai'an Palace?

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "This is just to make do with it, the Huae Building in Tai'an Palace will also be rebuilt, don't worry."

The reconstruction of Tai'an Palace has been going on and has never stopped.

"That's good." Ran Siniang immediately smiled.

"I'll show you the washroom, the washroom of my stupid lord!" Zhu Qiyu dragged Ran Siniang to the washroom, the entrance was the changing room.

It was not the first time for Ran Siniang to take a bath with His Majesty, but she was still a little shy, especially when she saw some unusual clothes. She picked up a short, silk, lace, half-cutout, deep-V underwear, and the ear It's all red!

The style of these clothes is really too scandalous!

Zhu Qiyu naturally saw the obscene clothes that were offensive, increased attack speed, and increased critical strikes, and showed a playful smile and said: "Designed by Chen Wanniang, woven by the Weaving Bureau, there are other things that I don't like."

Ran Siniang chose the most conservative clothes, and went to bed still a little shy.

Ran Siniang had to admire that His Majesty is really good at playing.

Of course Ran Siniang also regretted it.

She should have never, never should have teased His Majesty with Liuwei Dihuang Wan. In the early morning of the next day, Ran Siniang lazily lay on the bed, and she lazily got out of bed after a whole day.

It was obvious that he had exhausted too much physical strength last night, which resulted in some mental distress.

"Your Majesty confessed that Ran Guiren will accompany His Majesty on his southern tour." A palace concubine waited on Ran Siniang and said in a low voice.

Ran Siniang suddenly felt a warm current rising from her lower abdomen, and she might not be able to sleep for a restful sleep along the way.

Your Majesty really does not need Liuwei Dihuang Pills to be alive and well.

This is not surprising. The Roman envoy Nicolaus once described the Ming Emperor as a Puritan. The Ming Emperor has nothing to do with the seven deadly sins of arrogance, jealousy, rage, laziness, greed, gluttony, and lust.

As the emperor of the billions of people in the Ming Dynasty, he did not drink too much, did not overeat, did not seek pleasure, devoted himself to the public, and inspected military horses at two hours a day for eight years, etc. These ensured that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was healthy enough.

Zhu Qiyu had already got up and left when the sky was just slightly bright. When he walked out of the villa, Zhu Qiyu looked back at his villa and sneered.

His villa looks luxurious, but compared with Su Suizong's, Su Xunzong's and Su Xianzong's mansions, it is not worth mentioning at all.

For example, Su Xianzong's large mansion covers an area of ​​110 million square meters, which is 38 square meters more than the Daming Palace!

In Su Xianzong's mansion, there are countless furniture, porcelain, murals, tapestries, chandeliers and collections. The first draft of the design is designed by the British royal jazz, painter and decorator, and even the murals on the top of the arcade are from Drawn by famous artists.

Zhu Qiyu's villa is comfortable enough, but compared with the private mansions of Su Suizong, Su Xunzong, and Su Xianzong, it is nothing like mud.

The Daming Palace is a public property, which is different from their private villas.

The main reason is that Zhu Qiyu is not willing to spend money, and the money is not enough. Naturally, it is not luxurious enough.

For a villa with a living room like his, he didn't even spend two thousand silver coins on all the other costs, not including the land.

Xing'an investigated all the problems of Miyun Pharmaceutical Factory non-stop that night, and took him into Beizhen Fusi overnight.

Things are not complicated.

Xing'an put the dossier on the table, and said very seriously: "The Sun family of Huirentang, a wealthy family in the west city, has practiced medicine for generations and controls most of the proprietary medicines in the capital. According to legend, the prescription is much better, which affects their business."

"After the verification, I will be exiled to Yongning Temple." Zhu Qiyu read the next file, and it still needs to be checked three times. After it is finally confirmed, these people will be sent to Yongning Temple in Nuer Gandusi to worship Buddha.

Yongning Temple, the capital of Nuergan, is located at the mouth of the sea in Heilongjiang. During the Little Ice Age, this place was extremely cold, and there was almost no summer. The spring and autumn only lasted five months. Often hungry.

Sun's behavior is no longer a vicious competition, but poaching Daming's corner, poaching their old Zhu's corner!

The Daming official factory is affiliated to the Ming court, which is the core interest of the theme of the public ownership economy of the Ming Dynasty and the theory of profit;

It is also the cornerstone for the implementation of income based on work and distribution according to work in the Ming Dynasty, the coexistence of multiple ownership economies and the coexistence of multiple distribution methods.

If he put his mind on the official factory, Zhu Qiyu would naturally use severe punishment.

Zhu Qiyu put down the memorial in his hand, stood up, and headed towards the stables. He was going to inspect the military horses in Tucheng outside Deshengmen, and then returned to the lecture hall to continue his work.

Zhu Qiyu's construction of his villa, including the subsequent renovation of the official residence, the official residence of the Ming Dynasty's official factories, the renovation of the official residences of the major colleges and universities in the Ming Dynasty, etc., are all part of Daming's work-for-relief.

Also started is the road hardening project.

Starting from Beijing Normal University, passing through Juyongguan, Xuanfu, Jining, Datongfu, Shuofang, Wuyuan, Jing'an, Jingtai County, Liangzhou, Gansu, and Jiayuguan, the Jingjiaguan Road has a total mileage of [-] miles.

From the capital through Daningwei to Liaodong, the Beijing-Shenyang official road with a mileage of nearly three thousand miles.

From the capital through North Zhili, Henan, Huguang, Guizhou, all the way to Yunnan Prefecture, Jingyun official road.

From the capital, it passes through the Beijing-Guangzhou official road in Beizhili, Henan, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Guangzhou.

There are six main post roads in the Ming Dynasty. They were built in the Hongwu period and have been continuously expanded for more than 14 years. The mileage of the main road of Daoyi Road exceeds [-] miles.

In addition to the construction of official residences and the construction of water conservancy, the most important aspect of Daming's work-for-relief is the road hardening of official roads and post roads.

Qualified cement is the basic condition for the hardening of Daming official roads and post roads.

In order to harden the roads, Daming is expected to build more than a hundred official factories all over the country, responsible for burning and forging cement.

The hardening of the entire official road and post road lasted for about five years, and it cost about hundreds of millions of silver coins.

Obviously, the Ming court alone could not afford such a huge amount of money.

Where will the funds come from?

6Chapter 16 Three inches of energy can be used in a thousand ways

Zhu Qiyu hopes that during his reign, Daming can realize the transformation from a small peasant economy to a commodity economy.

In the process of this transformation, a large amount of currency is needed as a transaction support, and the circulation of the currency must also be guaranteed, otherwise the current situation will occur, and Ming Dynasty will enter the winter sequence.

The circulation of currency is not a financial phenomenon that can be directly observed, but there is a strange phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty, and it was observed by the Ming court, that is, the price of salt quotations in the Ming Dynasty.

When the price of Yanyin continues to rise, it means that the amount of Yanyin is insufficient and compensation needs to be made by Yanyin; if Yanyin remains in a stable price range, it means that the supply of Yanyin is normal and there is no need for compensation for Yanyin; if the price of Yanyin continues to fall , it means that the currency is overissued, and it is necessary to control the delivery of currency.

Daming Yanyin, as a barometer of the health of the Ming currency, was an important basis for the Minister of the Ministry of Household Jin Lian to persuade the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to issue banknotes.

In the process of transforming the small peasant economy, Daming needed to continuously increase productivity to complete commodity production in the commodity economy.

For example, the catfish effect dominated by the government and factories of the Ming Dynasty, and the farm law pilots implemented by the Ming Dynasty in many southern provinces are all important strategies to implement the public economy of the Ming Dynasty as the main body, and are the main way to stimulate the productivity of the Ming Dynasty.

On the other hand, Zhu Qiyu made great efforts to promote education, divided disciplines into studies, set up ten calendar bureaus, and officially led inventions and creations. He already had flying shuttles, multi-spindle spinning wheels, hydraulic screw machines, hydraulic looms and other machines; Bypass, to implement the pre-standardization of mass production.

During the transformation of the small-scale peasant economy, the Ming Dynasty wanted to transform from small-scale apprenticeship workshops to free-employment labor relations for large-scale production.

Then it is necessary to liberate the people of Ming Dynasty from the shackles of the land, participate in employment, and participate in large-scale production.

These are Zhu Qiyu's responsibilities in the process of transformation of the small peasant economy in Ming Dynasty.

Relief with work is the main means for the Ming court to intervene in the economy. It is a good opportunity, but this opportunity is very expensive.

How expensive is it?

Hundreds of millions of silver coins.

After such an expensive cost, what will Daming get?

Zhu Qiyu fulfilled his promise, following the behest of his ancestors and ancestors, and built the official roads and post roads of the Ming Dynasty from the military and the lifeline of imperial power to the economic artery of the Ming Dynasty.This is a strong support for the stability of his own imperial power.

Because of the large-scale work-for-relief program in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court planned provincial audits, dispatched by the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Officials, etc., and obtained a complete set of methods and practical experience of using work-for-relief guided by the court. This kind of practical experience is extremely precious. , can bring enough reference experience for the winter sequence that will appear in the future.

Daming will increase a large number of workshops in a long-term and stable manner due to the large demand brought about by the acceleration of commodity circulation. Under the survival of the fittest, Daming's productivity will increase rapidly under natural selection.

Most importantly, Ming Dynasty will form a new economic internal cycle, an economic internal cycle that takes from the people and uses for the people.

The people of the Ming Dynasty created value through labor, and these values ​​were expressed in the form of silver coins, which flowed back to the imperial treasury of the Ming Dynasty through taxation, regular taxation, corvee, etc. Realize the redistribution of wealth.

This is the complete "Keynesianism", the charm of the state as the main body intervening in the economy.

This process is tortuous, difficult, expensive, and equally, in terms of income, Ming can complete the transformation from a small-scale peasant economy to a commodity economy.

Only this one, Zhu Qiyu is imperative.

As for where the money comes from, it is natural to have to suffer.

How much money do people have?Embarrassing [-] households with mud legs, it is better to eat big households.

Zhu Qiyu returned to the Lecture Hall after reviewing the military horses, and said to Xing'an: "Ninety percent of the influential families in the Ming Dynasty embezzled the money of the Ming Dynasty to make a fortune, and the other ten percent made their fortunes by poaching old Zhu's family. Yes, and all with typical predatory banditry."

"And after they plundered the wealth, they buried them in their own pigpens, or simply changed themselves into Japanese people like the Confucian mansion, and the Ming court became beyond reach."

"The Xiongnu, Turkic, Xianbei, Khitan, Mughal, Jurchen, these robbers who robbed the granaries of the people on the border of the Ming Dynasty as usual, are no different from these powerful families."

"What exactly did Shiyao Haoyou's family embezzle?"

"What they embezzled is the value and wealth created collectively by all the people of Ming Dynasty after the founding of Ming Dynasty, as well as the large-scale official factories and shipyards."

"That's why Daming Shi wants Haoyou's family to look ugly. They are exactly the same as the slave chieftains who robbed Daming."

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhu Qiyu's words were recorded in Xing'an's heart.

Xing'an has always been a little puzzled, why His Majesty is always trying to force the Haoyou family, now after listening to it, he finally understands.

reasonable.

Shi Yaohao is a thief, a thief, they dug out the corners of Daming, the corners of the old Zhu's house, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, as the grand master of the old Zhu's family, and as the father of all the people of the Ming Dynasty, they are naturally qualified to ask them debt collection.

"So let Wang Bingfu increase the reserves of Baoyuan Bureau. I will consume at least nearly 7000 million silver coins in the next five years, so Baoyuan Bureau needs to absorb more than [-] million taels of silver within these five years." Zhu Qiyu He told Xing'an about his decision.

In the next five years, Daming needs to absorb and store nearly [-] million taels of silver. Considering the leniency of the enemy and the ratio of Daming's money, Baoyuan Bureau must absorb and store at least more than [-] million taels of silver to satisfy His Majesty's gluttonous appetite.

Xing'an knew exactly that what His Majesty did was fundamentally different from Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang recruiting more than two million people to build the Grand Canal. good.

And under the Winter Order, work-for-relief is imminent.

"Your Majesty, Liu Qi outside the Chaoyang Gate is now unemployed." Xing'an mentioned a name, Liu Qi.

It was the first time Liu Qi met His Majesty with his child in front of the rice shop, and Liu Qi mistakenly thought that His Majesty was a dignitary who bought a child.

This is not uncommon in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Although there are many beggars in the nursing home, most of them have five disadvantages and three deficiencies. Healthy children are lined up for adoption.

Later, when His Majesty went south, he ran into Liu Qi again in the city of Nanjing. Liu Qi was sent by the Ministry of Industry to escort a large number of Jingtai Tongbao to Nanya to stabilize prices and exchange old money.

When His Majesty returned triumphantly, Liu Qi also made a pilgrimage outside Chaoyang Gate, and only then did he know that the person was His Majesty. Later, His Majesty even drank a pot of tea with Liu Qi outside Chaoyang Gate. Liu Qi's first child died, but Liu Qi Qi bought a flat-bottomed tank boat and planned to marry a new wife.

In the past few years, Liu Qi's water boats have done well, but with the approach of winter, Liu Qi's water boats will lose a day if they stop at the pier. The craftsmen of the tank boat were paid for their labor, and Liu Qi sold the barge again.

Why did Xing'an make such a mention?

Because in his opinion, immediately lowering the minimum standard of labor remuneration and interfering with Daming's financial affairs is an imminent choice, and it must be done.

Even Liu Qi, a farmer with certain means of labor, has already sold his means of labor to make ends meet. If he doesn't do anything about it, if Daming's financial affairs last for a while, it may collapse completely.

At that time, civil turmoil broke out everywhere, and Daming immediately became precarious.

Three inches of qi can be used in all kinds of ways, one day is impermanent and nothing will stop.

Three inches refers to the heart, because the heart of an adult is about three inches in length, width and height.

A day of impermanence refers to death.

When people are alive, they care about everything, plan everything, and spend countless efforts in doing things. Once an accident happens one day, everything will stop.

People are like this, so is a country. Its prosperity is also vigorous, and its death is also sudden.

Zhu Qiyu nodded. Daming has been making preparations for work-for-relief since Jingtai knew in October the seventh year that the winter prelude of Daming was coming, and discussed it at the Salt and Iron Conference. The first phase of investment has already begun. Spread the edict to all directions, and the establishment of an official cement factory has already begun.

"When will the Chunwei list be released this time?" Zhu Qiyu has already approved the top three, the second top Jinshi, and the third top Jinshi, a total of 350 Jinshi lists, and the list should be released in the next few days.

Xing'an bowed his head and said, "The list will be released tomorrow."

On February 23rd in the spring of the eighth year of Jingtai, the morning bell rang, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty woke up in the morning sun. Countless people filed out of the workshop and flocked outside the Donghua Gate.

The night is fading.

Last night, the Ministry of Rites kept the lights on. The list has been finalized and the yellow list has been written. When the morning bell rings, the yellow list will be posted.
