The 226th chapter changes in the capital (2)
Changing the Ming Dynasty seemed easy, but it was difficult to do. First of all, enough talents in various fields would block Emperor Chongzhen.
Not to mention anything else, just say that all types of craftsmen involved in the industry have insufficient technical talents. This is still the original industry of manual assembly lines.
As for the Ming Dynasty of Chongzhen, nothing can be achieved overnight. Emperor Chongzhen needed a stable environment and a lot of time to settle down. Only when these two prerequisites are met can we gradually improve productivity based on the existing situation.
Cultivate all types of talents.
"Brother-in-law, I don't look like a person from the capital." Emperor Chongzhen took a sip of bitter tea, frowned slightly, looked at the unhumid tea stall old man, and said, "Do you have many tea stalls in Fucaifang?
?I think there are many people resting here."
"This master, the young man is from Shangzhou, Xi'an Prefecture."
The old man smiled and said, "There is no way to survive in my hometown. I know that our Ming Emperor said that if there is disaster in Shanxi and Shaanxi, don't be afraid. Zhili has food to survive, so he fled with the flow.
It is also our Ming emperor who is kind, not as greedy as local officials. At that time, the old man and his family were really afraid, and they were afraid that they would be blocked from entering Zhili."
Listening to what the old man said, Emperor Chongzhen looked a little ugly. Corrupt officials were indeed a major cancer of the Ming Dynasty. If the officials could not be rectified as soon as possible and the officialdom in all parts of the world were thoroughly investigated, the people in that place would not live well.
"As for this tea stall, there are indeed many, more than 300 places."
The old man continued, "It was our Shuntian Prefecture Prime Minister who gave us old guys a way out and helped us reduce the burden on our family."
Drink a copper coin casually.
Although you don’t make much money, there are a lot of people coming in and out every day, and you can make a lot of money, but there are too many rules, what’s the name? Yes, hygiene! You must do it well, otherwise you will get rid of this stall.”
"Then is nothing else except this tea stall?"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said, "Along the way, I found that Fucaifang has changed a lot compared to before."
"Why didn't there?"
The old man smiled and said, "It's like a cake stall, a noodle stall, a meat stall, etc. The people who work in Fucaifang are all from various businesses."
Make money by expending effort.
What is amazing is that these businesses have daily wages and will never default. The men of those businesses dare not default.
The officials from Shuntian Prefecture come here every day to inspect. If anyone dares to owe wages, they will directly fine them the money."
Emperor Chongzhen knew what the old man said.
Most of the young and strong working in Fucaifang are fleeing from Shanxi and Shaanxi. They are afraid of it. If they don’t give them more peace of mind, they will not be able to settle them well.
Re-renovation of the capital was something that Emperor Chongzhen had been planning and doing. After all, the capital is now very large, and in that bad living environment, if it is not modified, many problems will inevitably arise.
"You are here to see this master, right?"
The old man seemed to be talking, "For more than a month, many people came to Fucaifang. I heard that it was Shuntian Prefecture that they wanted to rebuild all the outer towns of our capital.
Previously, Sun Qingtian would come to Fucaifang every two days to inspect the construction, but the old man had never seen him again in these days.
Speaking of which, Sun Qingtian is really courageous. There are quite a few people living in various yards in the outer city. It will cost a lot of money to rebuild it."
"I just come here and take a look."
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and said, "Okay, old man, I have finished drinking this tea, so I won't bother you, let's go first."
Seeing this, Wang Chengen, who was standing by, took out a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to the old man.
"Hey, I can't get these silver."
Seeing this, the old man waved his hand and said, "Just thirty copper coins are enough. There are too many of them, so the old man can't find them."
Wang Chengen didn't explain much, and stuffed it directly into the old man's hand, and then ran towards the direction where Emperor Chongzhen was walking, which made the old man a little stunned.
"Do you know about Sun Chuanting's construction of various yards in the outer city?" Emperor Chongzhen said as he walked: "Why don't I know at all?"
“There is a memorial received.”
Wang Chengen hurriedly explained: "I submitted it to the emperor, but the emperor was busy managing the government at that time, so this memorial..."
"Um."
Emperor Chongzhen remembered some and said, "If you want to build various yards in the outer city, please keep an eye on it. If you encounter any problems, report them in time.
If there is no problem, let Sun Qing do it yourself.
But in this case, the demand for cement will probably increase a lot."
“It will indeed increase a lot.”
Wang Chengen said: "Previously, some of the cement-produced technologies were sold over the Sichuan and Hai Zongshe Association, and they were all people who had withstood the inspection of the Jinyiwei.
These people planned to build a batch of cement kilns in the Gyeonggi area.
In addition, a group of new areas have been selected on the Huangzhuang side, and the construction is being accelerated..."
If you want to improve productivity, you must develop into large-scale industries. During this period, the Ming Dynasty needed such industries, even if there was exploitation, it would have to go.
Emperor Chongzhen knew in his heart that once private capital intervened, exploitation would inevitably occur. However, if all this was improved, only after it formed a scale, it could promote corresponding legislation.
The Ming Dynasty needs to change, so it must go through some things.
"From now on, the inner factory will arrange a group of people to secretly investigate the actual situation of those groups who purchase industrial technology in various places."
Emperor Chongzhen thought about it and reached out to Wang Chengen, "Whether there is harsh treatment, oppression, and exploitation, we must investigate it clearly.
You can find some people from the people, hire them, and do these things secretly. I need to understand the situation in this regard."
"Here!"
Wang Chengen immediately bowed.
Although the private visit on this covert server was not long, the places I saw were mainly Fucaifang, but for Emperor Chongzhen, he saw a different change.
At least under the premise that the court fought for power and profit and continued to make plans, corresponding changes began to occur in the local area.
Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to see what changes would happen to Zhili when Lu Xiangsheng formed a system around Northern Zhili.
Even the high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes, corn, and potatoes cultivated by Xu Guangqi will be improved and changed accordingly after they start to be promoted by the public next year.
