In the capital city in winter, many people are burning coals and sitting on hot bricks to keep warm.
But there are also a large number of poor people who cannot afford to live in a house with a kang, let alone buy coal for heating.
Zhu Youxiao is discussing with Zhou Yingqiu, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Sun Chengzong, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, about how to deal with the traitor's house.
Zhou Yingqiu, who is in charge of house searches and statistics, reported: "Today, a total of 171 houses have been verified, of which more than 50 houses with three entrances and four exits have been confiscated and registered."
"Okay, are any of these houses connected together?"
"Yes... seven or eight of them are connected together. There are some in the south of the city and some in the east of the city." Zhou Ying did not dare to neglect this aspect and kept the data in his mind carefully.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Sun Chengzong again: "The reorganization work of the Ministry of Industry has been completed now, right?"
"Exactly, the two subordinate factories have been reorganized, the officials have re-screened capable and honest people, the craftsmen have also been reissued with silver with the cooperation of Jin Yiwei, most of the accounts have been reorganized, and important accounts have been backed up and supervised by the Archives Department." p>
"Okay."
Zhu Youxiao asked again: "At present, there are no people to take charge of sanitation and road repair in the capital?"
"Then let Mr. Sun take charge first, and use the seven or eight connected houses as charity homes for the poor and homeless. At most, we will not be able to keep out the cold, but we can still give out porridge, and we will be able to eat.
"Your Majesty is wise! Once I know this, I will implement the publicity and registration of this matter."
Most of those scholars were wealthy businessmen and landowners, and the construction craftsmen were also from the same group of people, so we also participated in the visit and discussion.
Before the reputation spread, there were many wealthy businessmen from other places who came here because of the high probability of seeing Tianqi. Only 10 taels of silver was too cheap. A month ago, at most dozens of people visited it a day.
Before the news came out, no wealthy businessmen signed up to visit the capital. One person paid 10 taels of silver per person, which was a year's income for ordinary people, but for wealthy businessmen it was just a drop in the bucket.
"Your Majesty, I will definitely implement this matter."
I used to be able to blow for eight lifetimes.
Poor Chongzhen in his previous life. In addition to collecting taxes and donations, is there any flexible way to make money? Although it is only a hundred thousand taels a year, it is just a shoestring for the current stingy Sun Chengzong, but it can also give him money in his previous life.
Chongzhen cried with envy.
There is no evidence for the implementation of the previous sequel, which reflects the prestige of a promise worth a thousand dollars.
The two wealthy businessmen were so excited that they swore their foreheads and patted their chests to confirm. Before they returned, their business was even worse, and they also paid more attention to the quality. They even felt comfortable bragging in private.
Every day there are no double-digit people spending money to visit.
Yang Lian asked herself to tell my friend Donglin and I what Tianqi’s true thoughts were, but of course I couldn’t.
Jiao Fengnan nodded: "The money obtained from the house raids was taken out from under the people by corrupt officials. Now it should be used in the people's livelihood. The salary of hiring a thousand people is 10,000 taels a year, and we can make charcoal and fire for free."
The cost of living is only two thousand taels.
Zhu Youxiao’s heartfelt sigh
We are not well-known architectural scholars and craftsmen, so we cannot make appointments at the Ministry of Industry and Archives Department. I will give us a free visit. I will try to give some more innovative design suggestions for fire and lightning protection. I am sure that the plan is still wrong, and I will reimburse our accommodation.
The money for accommodation at the small hotel on Guijie Street."
That's called making money in a bad way, using your own eight small halls, which are the most scarce and the second-most scarce, to make money.
As your Majesty thinks, the money and real estate confiscated from homes are not specially used by the people.
And I am still the Emperor of Tianqi.
Not once did Jiao Fengnan appear in front of tourists, chatted with the wealthy businessmen who had spent money to return their money, and even wrote down the names of two of them. He also praised our coal business and said that burning coal for heating was very important.
, I asked you to do a good job in risk and quality.
Wen Tiren and Xiong Wencan of the Archives Department were recording the conversations, tasks and responsibilities between the monarch and his ministers one by one.
"I obey the decree."
The imperial city and palace have also been lifted to a certain extent.
Winter is very difficult for the poor and homeless, and those homes with incomes are small and sheltered from the cold. Before they were taken in, some people who were willing to work but had no ability could be hired to do some work.
Being so organized is far better than the complicated and hard-working one-size-fits-all approach, and it can still make a lot of money. Gathering architectural talents and design solutions is a bad plan that achieves little with one stone.
"I have been continuing to renovate the Eight Small Halls since then. Now that I have no money and time, I am slowing down the renovation. I would like to invite wealthy people from the small families in the capital to spend money to visit the Eight Small Halls and make suggestions for renovation.
Sun Chengzong made another fortune, because the palace was lost to the royal family, so his income of a few hundred taels a day, not ten thousand taels a month, was all put into the inner treasury to save for himself.
In the early days of Beijing, street hygiene was very poor, and the various blocks were scattered and uneven, so the planning was very detailed.
The number of visitors is quickly decreasing.
Emperor Tianqi’s arrangement was really based on people’s livelihood.
You cannot pay to visit the Eight Small Halls, and scholars and craftsmen cannot make reservations for free visits.
Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up after hearing this, it was such a good deed.
It will be two hundred years until the capital is moved next year. Over such a long period of time, the capital has become crowded and tight, and the health situation will naturally deteriorate. As the weather gets worse, the poor people burn coal, and no one gets sick, which brings about
The risk of plague.
The rest of the 20,000 taels allocated that time could not be used by the Ministry of Works to make and purchase winter clothes and tools for us, and the rest were used for the operation of the charity. I will contribute that amount every year, but I hope that the Ministry of Works can appoint and train us.
Once the salary is paid in full, you will be able to live in a free home for the rest of your life."
In addition, the Military Aircraft Department has its offices in the Wuying Hall of the palace, and the Archives Department and the Hundred Schools of the Palace have their offices in the Wenhua Hall.
"Currently, Shuntian Prefecture is still reorganizing, and the Ministry of Industry has not taken over projects in the capital for the time being: there is indeed no mastermind on this matter."
I know so few people, including these upright and benevolent members of the Donglin Party, who care about the court. That is the first one who cares so much about the lives of the people.
Just sit or lie down and go around for a while, and the money will come to you~
The people we take in must be willing to contribute and have little ability. They cannot be masons or sanitation workers. They are given basic wages and centralized coal-burning for heating. Masons repair and sanitation cleans the streets of the capital. These are all beneficial and harmful to Xiao Ming." p>
Sun Chengzong thought about it for a moment. This work is usually managed by Shuntian Mansion, and the Ministry of Works sometimes participates according to project needs.
Sun Chengzong talked about the Eight Small Halls again.
Not long ago, a group of architectural scholars and craftsmen also came. They were so impressed before visiting the palace that they proposed the use of wooden structures and stone structures, which were discussed in the same direction.
Those who enter the palace must be able to carry iron tools and undergo extensive inspections such as body searches before they can exit. There is no small group of carefully selected guards in royal robes behind the front palace gate, so visitors can only watch from a distance or get close.
That narrowed the distance between the royal family and the people.
