Under Li Wenchong's instigation, Emperor Mingguang was really ready to take action.
There was no way, the "financial report" that Gu Qingling handed over was really beautiful. Just one Jinling could equal half of Jiangnan County.
Jiangnan County, how big is it? It covers all the rich areas of Jiangnan. There are thirty-six counties in the world today, and Jiangnan is the richest.
Jinling is just a "province" under Jiangnan County.
The various levels of administration in the Ming Dynasty were divided roughly as follows from high to low: county-prefecture-dao-lu-fu-county-township-lvli.
Among them, "road" is equivalent to "province", and "dao" is an administrative zone, which is equivalent to "state", and is mostly in the nature of a supervisory area.
The ancestral home of the Yao family is in Jinling, which is under Jiangnan County. Jiangnan was originally rich, and Jinling was not particularly prominent in Jiangnan County. However, after Gu Qingling left, the prefecture where the Yao family was located rose above it, directly driving the surrounding areas, and in one fell swoop
It turned Jinling into the richest place in the south of the Yangtze River.
If it weren't for the limited area under the jurisdiction of Magistrate Sun, and the surrounding prefectures and cities either turned a blind eye or were still watching, the performance of the entire Jinling would have been even more outstanding.
As an emperor, who doesn’t want to make the area under his jurisdiction more prosperous?
A city can break through the sky, if there are a few more...
"Brother Emperor, what are you waiting for? If you waste such a good opportunity for three to five years, you might be able to change a local administrative region." Li Wenchong put the plan written by Gu Qingling in front of him, "Look, clearly
Lingdu has written it for you. She doesn't want you to roll it out across the country at once, but to find a few places to pilot it first..."
There are mountains and rivers on one side and people on the other, and each place has its own special spots. It is unrealistic for them all to be modeled on the Jinling Prefecture.
If it doesn’t work and you want the same good effect as Jinling, what should you do?
It's very simple. Experiment is the only way to test the truth - then we will pilot it. Just like a farm, we will find a place to "experiment", find out a set of development plans suitable for the local area, and then slowly promote it to the surrounding areas.
Through a point-to-point approach, an administrative region can be developed.
With the development of several more administrative regions, will the Ming Dynasty still be worried that the Ministry of Household Affairs will have no money in the future? What a worry.
When the time comes, won’t Emperor Mingguang be able to do whatever he wants?
Emperor Mingguang hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's try it out."
No one knew that on this day, the Ming Dynasty would usher in a new turning point.
Emperor Mingguang nodded, and Li Wenchong wrote to Gu Qingling telling her the good news.
Gu Qingling was very happy. She wished that the Ming Dynasty could develop better. Although this Ming Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty in her previous life, it was probably just a similar dimension.
However, the cultural heritage here is the same.
In the beginning, they also had Qin Shihuang, hundreds of schools of thought, and the Four Classics and Five Books...
She has the same black hair and yellow skin. In this case, maybe this world is just a "parallel space" in the world she lived in in her previous life. Due to an accident at a certain time point, they became two lines that will never intersect.
But no matter how it changes, the inheritance of Chinese culture remains the same.
As a son of China, Gu Qingling sincerely hopes that it will last forever and get better and better.
Turning around, Gu Qingling stared at the batch of royal craftsmen sent by Li Wenchong.
To be honest, these craftsmen still have some skills. After all, they can enter the royal family only after passing various tests.
It's just that such people are somewhat arrogant.
When they first arrived at Gu Qingling's workshop, they looked down upon the people in the workshop and acted like "I'm just a guest".
When Gu Qingling saw them like this, he was not in a hurry to use it. He allocated a yard for them and let them live alone. As long as they don't leave the workshop, they can do whatever they like.
While they were idle over there, the people under Gu Qingling were not idle. They were working day and night on the tasks assigned to them by Gu Qingling and improving various tools.
Gu Qingling didn't understand the principle, but she knew what she wanted. She set the standards and they were responsible for meeting them.
At the same time, she also encourages them to "innovate". As long as someone comes up with something new that satisfies her, they will be rewarded.
There is a row of "public notice boards" in front of the workshop. On the left is a list of honors, with the names of people who have received awards and drawings of the tools they made. On the other side is the "workshop discipline", which warns everyone that when they arrive at the workshop, they must
Follow the workshop rules.
Anyone who breaks the rules will be "punished".
In the past, some people did not understand the "rules" and leaked the workshop's "patent" privately, and were sent directly to the Yamen.
Plagiarism, peeping, bribery, slander, frame-up, etc. are not allowed.
If you want to stay here, in addition to "keeping it secret", all you have to do is rely on your own strength.
It doesn't matter if you can't create it yourself, you can choose to form a team and follow a certain boss.
No design invention is completed by one person. If you can't be the leader, then you can help the leader and still get the "patent fees".
So here, as long as you do things down-to-earth, you don’t have to worry whether you don’t know how to communicate or deal with people, there is plenty of work for you to do.
But if you "steal" someone else's patented invention, haha... I'm sorry, not only will the workshop not let you go, but you may have to go to the Yamen.
Whether you can come out in this life depends on your fate.
When the people from the Royal Construction Office arrived here, they were a little uncomfortable at first, because they didn't get the praise and promotion they imagined. After they arrived, they were assigned to a place to stay, and then there was no follow-up.
Seeing that this was not the way to go, Ding Chun found Xing Xing, the leader of the team.
"Master Xing, what do you mean... what does this Yao family mean?" Ding Chun asked, "What does it mean to invite us all the way here but leave us here all the time?"
Xing Xing: “I don’t know.”
"Then we just wait like this?"
"It's definitely not possible to wait until we meet. Didn't the manager say that as long as we don't leave the workshop and just wander around, we'll just wander around and see what happens."
"Then...okay."
…
The next day, Ding Chun followed Xing Xing and walked around the workshop.
After walking around, I discovered that this workshop is quite big, and there are people with handles everywhere. There is a post every three steps, and a sentry every four steps. Those who don't know it think this is some kind of secret base.
"Tell me, what is hidden here? Why are there so many people guarding it?" Ding Chun wondered.
Xing Xing said: "Maybe it's some kind of treasure."
"Baby? There are treasures in such a small place?" Ding Chun was a little disdainful, "Shouldn't the best things in the world be found in the Zaoban Institute? Is there any place in this world that can be compared to the Zaoban Institute?"
Fortunately, Xing didn't say anything and walked into the "Workshop Exhibition Hall".
This was recommended by the person who showed them the way. They said that all the finished products made in the workshop and sold on the market are displayed here. If they want to know what the workshop does, they can visit here.
After walking in, Xing Xing discovered that there were still a lot of things invented and created by Yao's workshop. The more popular pigeon chess and checkers were actually made in their workshop?!
Next to the finished product, there is an introduction about the creator and the "rewards" he received.
There are several types of rewards, one is patent fees and the other is "funds".
