Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 686 Gradually Developing International Metropolis (Subscribe!)
Zhu Kezang's southern tour continues!

On the way to the south, passing through the countryside of Nanzhili, Anhui, Jiangxi and Guangdong, a very good phenomenon has developed, that is, the number of children has skyrocketed!

In every village commune and every building that Emperor Zhu passed by, he could see groups of children playing and playing.

Wherever Daming went, whether it was a child or an old man, they all looked like they could eat and wear warm clothes.

Daming's current population actually exceeds 9000 million people, and it has already ushered in the first population boom. According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, there are 400 million people!
This birth rate is already very scary. Of course, coupled with the higher and higher living standards of the people of Ming Dynasty, the life expectancy and average height of the population are increasing rapidly!
Of course, objectively speaking, the overall level of education in Ming Dynasty was already at the forefront of the world in the seventeenth century.

The construction of universities may not be as good as in Western Europe. Daming currently has four universities, namely Gewuzhizhi College, Yingtian University of Technology, Daming Medical College, and Guangzhou Railway Transportation College.

The development of university education is slower, but the treatment of universities is very good.

For example, Gewu Zhizhi College and Yingtian University of Technology, the treatment of graduate students is the same as that of Guozijian.

As for the School of Medicine and the School of Railways, they correspond to hospitals and railway departments in various parts of Daming. The treatment is not as good, but they are very popular among ordinary people.

Entering is the iron rice bowl!
For the children of poor people, it is an opportunity to change their own destiny, and it also makes the employment development of young people in Daming more diversified!

Otherwise, young people are thinking about sprinting for imperial examinations and civil service examinations, which is not conducive to the development of Ming Dynasty.

After all, all walks of life in Ming Dynasty need talents!
The new Ming Dynasty in the seventeenth century was an era of talents.

Even if you are a new Ming farmer, you must be a farmer who can drive a steam harvester.

Of course, most of the small villages in New Daming are still farming in the same way as before.

Although there are no large-scale production machines, their farmland is still well prepared. There are no chemical fertilizers or pesticides, and they use natural bird droppings for fertilization. They are all "pollution-free and purely natural" agricultural products.

Naturally, the growth cannot be compared with those abnormally strong agricultural products of later generations.

But fortunately, the land is very abundant, so outside every village building, you can see a large area of ​​lush agricultural products!

The animal husbandry industry is also developing well. The new pig breed Meili No. 2 bred by Daming through the crossbreeding of local pigs and systematic pig breeds has been widely promoted in Daming!

Beautiful No. 1 is the Duroc breed exchanged by the system.

Zhu Kezang saw many piglets and other animals in the villages and surrounding buildings on the way south.
It seems that ordinary people living in small southern villages can eat pork and drink milk from time to time!
Although this kind of life is not rich, it is comfortable enough.

For the Chinese people who have suffered many disasters in history, now is almost the best time of prosperity.

The so-called granary is real and knows etiquette, and food and clothing are sufficient to know honor and disgrace.Now that they can finally eat their fill and fill their warehouses with grain, the farmers of course also attach importance to education.

Anyone who is familiar with the education system of the Ming Dynasty knows that the most advanced primary and secondary education in the Ming Dynasty.

In this regard, all the primary and secondary schools in Daming are like mushrooms after a spring rain, and they are constantly being built!

It effectively guaranteed the reading needs of the people of Ming Dynasty.

It is foreseeable in the future that the literacy rate of Ming Dynasty will skyrocket.

Zhu Kezang stopped and looked around all the way, and before he knew it, it was October, and he also went to Guangzhou Mansion.

As the most eye-catching city in the Ming Empire, whose national fortune is constantly rising, Guangzhou, in Zhu Kezang's view, already has the meaning of an international metropolis!
The streets that had been empty and empty due to the wars between the Ming and Qing Dynasties have now become bustling scenes.

The common people of Ming Dynasty, as well as merchants of all kinds from Western and Southern Oceans, crowded the streets shoulder to shoulder.

Zhu Kezang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw people without black skin.

Daming can't be like the later generations of Gaul Rooster and Millikin, where there are black-skinned people everywhere, and it can even evolve into a situation where they are the masters.

The high status of French blacks is barely understandable.

De Gaulle recruited hundreds of thousands of black legions from the French African colonies, and the French army that counterattacked after Normandy was their foundation.

Under the bloody struggle and sacrifice of these blacks, the French Allied Forces defeated Germany together and successfully recaptured France from Germany!

It can be said that without blacks, there would be no recovery of France.

In addition, after the end of World War II, France, one of the main participating countries, suffered great damage and its population dropped sharply.

Due to the shortage of labor force, a series of high welfare policies have been formulated in order to attract labor force.

After the war, France, one of the main victorious countries, began to introduce a large number of black laborers in order to enjoy the dividends brought by the victorious countries. These laborers joined French nationality and began to intermarry and reproduce, resulting in more black people.

This is also the main reason why there are so many blacks in France.

Zhu Kezang believes that the following situation will occur before he crosses the world line:

French child: Mom, why is the French hero Napoleon white?

Then one day the French textbooks said that Francistan is located in southern Europe, the residents are mainly blacks, with a few whites, and the main religion is Tianfangjiao.

Zhu Kezang did not want to see this situation. He strictly prohibited the occurrence of black-skinned people in the mainland and overseas territories of New Daming!
On several spacious streets leading to the docks outside the city, the carriages coming and going were all loaded with goods, and these were goods from or about to be shipped overseas.
Zhu Kezang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: Guangzhou's geographical location is so good, the export volume of goods is more than that of the imperial capital Yingtian!
It is not unreasonable for Guangzhou to develop.

Occasionally, a team of horses would pass by on the street, and the Daming knights on the team were all capable postal riders.

The only people in Ming Dynasty who can use telegrams are the military department and Jinyiwei!

What about other yamen offices and ordinary people?
Where there is no telegraph machine, how to transmit information?
Of course it was a letter.

In order to command Daming, an ever-growing country, and to facilitate the transmission of letters between the government and the people in various parts of Daming, New Daming developed and improved the past post system in an all-round way.

But in the new dynasty and new atmosphere, it is no longer called an inn!
The rebellion of Li Zicheng, a laid-off postman, made Emperor Zhu feel that the name of the post postman was unlucky. After all, the new Ming Dynasty was also a Ming Dynasty, and the incident of Li Zicheng was still vivid in his mind, so he changed his name to "post department" Number!

Several healthy horses from the postal department galloped along the Guangzhou Ring Road, and soon came to a cemetery near the Yuexiu Palace in the center of Guangzhou.
