Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1191 The symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning

In the past few years, the population of the capital has been increasing, which is inevitable.A large number of people came here, and it was bullshit to say that they were sent back to their original places.Because I must have nothing to do and can't survive, I ran to the capital.

Now the land is privately owned, and they don't have their own land. Forcing people to go back is tantamount to calling people to rebel.

Coupled with the canal problem, there are indeed a lot of refugees.

Even people like the Qing Dynasty know that "the people who make a living among the refugees are mostly those who have no farmland or shelter in their homeland. Even if they return to their hometown, they are still unemployed. It's better to let them find food and make a living by themselves."

Dashun is naturally stronger than the Manchu Qing, and this reason is still understandable—the main reason is that the thunder storm in Europe has not yet appeared, nor has it been transmitted.As long as it is passed on, Dashun will definitely learn from the advanced experience of Europe and carry out urban transformation, so as not to create barricades-so now, the population is increasing day by day.

There is a saying that goes well, even a dog has to be born in the capital.Although there has been no barricade incident in Dashun yet, it is certainly impossible for the refugees to rebel in the capital, and when it is time to provide relief, the strength must not be as strong as elsewhere.

There are more and more people, and Jing Zhaoyin is quite supportive of the Wuding River reconstruction project.

These refugees are either digging rivers, building railways, or entering coal mines.

As for the construction of railways and coal mines, it has nothing to do with him. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce is responsible for the accidents there. On the contrary, it can help him solve the pressure on public security brought by refugees. He naturally supports it.

Conversely, if there is no special Ministry of Industry and Commerce that emerged from the Songsu reform, responsible for a series of industrial and commercial developments run by government-supervised businesses, Jing Zhaoyin will definitely stand tall and oppose the construction of railways and the opening of coal mines.

This is Jing Zhaoyin's choice.

On the emperor's side, the problem is actually even bigger.

The people's livelihood in the capital is a matter.

In addition to people's livelihood issues, there are a lot of other things.

The minting bureau needs to use coal.

Coal is needed to build artillery factories.

Firearms, firearms, buckshot, all of these have to use coal.

Dashun's silver is basically concentrated in the Songsu area.The scope covered by currency reform is those places that have been pulled into the Songsu system.

The Songsu system itself is a strange system.

For example, tea from Fujian cannot be exported in Fujian, and must be transported to Shanghai for customs export; for example, the salt tax after the reform of the Jiangnan and Jiangbei salt administration, after the abolition of Yangzhou, Shanghai is the financial center and logistics center of the salt industry .

The internal economy is constantly developing, and most of the previous silver has flowed to the development of Southeast Asia and Northeast China.In places outside the Songsu system, money is also needed.

Moreover, all regions are actually developing. Although the speed is not fast, the diffusion of technology has brought about certain productivity improvements.There is also an increase in population.

More and more money needs to be minted every year.Money must be minted in the capital, and it is easy to supervise, and more and more coal is used every year.

It doesn't work if you don't mint money.

The military development of Dashun in the past few years also made the emperor think that ordnance manufacturing must still be located around the capital.

It's okay to talk about guns.

He is not at ease about putting cannons and the like elsewhere.

All these are forcing Dashun to quickly solve the fuel problem in the capital.Before that, many people took the risk and went to the imperial mausoleum to cut down trees.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Yu proposed the Wuding River Treatment Project.

He had a good time handing over power in Songsu back then, and returning to the Privy Council was a pension, and the emperor made a strange gift—in the eyes of the emperor, this was compensation. In this case, if you don't want to kill him, it's best to find something for him to do, so that it seems that the emperor is still using him. According to the thinking of emperors and ministers, this can be regarded as a gift.

With a flick of a pen, it's easy to transfer money, and it's done.

In the past few years, the gold mines in Mohe, Heihe and other places have gradually made profits, and the money paid according to the fixed amount every year is also increasing day by day.

By the way, it also solved the problem of emptiness in the northern frontier, and also solved the problem of cross-border immigration on the border of North Korea.

The re-widening of the Wuding River channel, as well as the follow-up plan to replace firewood with coal for water and soil protection, can be regarded as a small solution to the flooding of the Wuding River.

In general, the emperor has been doing just fine in recent years.A minister suggested that Nanyuan should be demolished directly to communicate with the river and used as a lake to adjust and store water.

According to the evaluation standard of a feudal emperor, this is not bad.

Generally speaking, after the Songsu Grand Review, Liu Yu basically did such things during his stay in the capital.

A short railway was built, coal was used in the capital, 5 to [-] people immigrated to the border area of ​​Heilongjiang, and the channel of the Wuding River was widened.

After all, this is the capital city, so you can't use your hands and feet.If this wasn't the capital, he would have demolished Nanyuan long ago.

As for the current dissatisfaction of the Haimin in Nanyuan, it also shows that the capital is different.

In Huainan, Liu Yu directly suppressed the army and the Yanhu Uprising, either throwing it to the northeast or sending it to Nanyang.

In the capital, Liu Yu could only come up with an idea, suggesting to plant a bunch of apple trees that are still relatively rare, and say to plant apples in Nanyuan.

If you grow apples and sell them in the capital, the imperial court will give you some subsidies and some money as compensation for not being able to sell firewood.

The money for the saplings is all paid by the imperial court, and agronomy students are specially selected to teach them.Then plant some new species from the Americas, such as eggplant, pepper, persimmon, zucchini and glutinous pumpkin.

This matter is also resolved.

Therefore, when Niu Er first returned to the capital, he saw soldiers in the capital and thought something had happened.

After waiting to find out what happened to Liu Yu, the focus was no longer on this matter, but on that railway.

This is a big deal for him.

As for the contradictions and interests in the reform process, he has seen a lot in Nanyang.And it was Nanyang, and the methods were much crueler.He is used to the problems of vested interests encountered in the reform, and when he heard such things, he didn't think it was a big deal at all.

After all, he had thought about the idea of ​​arresting all the big businessmen who exported cotton cloth with the British after the occupation of Bangladesh.

But railroads are very different.

This railway, in the eyes of different people, has different meanings.

In the eyes of some officials, this is a siege to alleviate the coal shortage in the capital, which is similar to repairing canals, moving people, and building tank boats.

But in the eyes of Niu Er and his group, this is a kind of heart booster.

There is this thing in the future they heard, conceived, and subtly instilled by Liu Yu.

What kind of future, what kind of society, what kind of political structure, whether there will be an emperor, etc., they have not started to think about it, or some people have just started to think about it.

However, in the future they conceived, there must be black-smoky cars traveling on the railway tracks, linking the world together.

They had only heard of this thing before, seen the railroad track of Mara, seen the model of the Academy of Sciences, and imagined what it would look like.

But can it become a reality?

Although they are full of confidence in their hearts, they have no bottom after all.

And now, this thing really came out.Not enough efficiency, not enough power, this problem, that problem, doesn't matter to them.

The important thing is that they firmly believe that the future they imagined is accessible.

It can be touched.

saw.

It is no longer the illusory rule of the three generations.

Naturally, this is a major event. For them, it is much more troublesome than the firewood trade of the people in Nanyuan. After all, they do not rely on selling sea firewood for their livelihood.
