The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 360 Found the key to deal with Peiping
The city of Peking is very small.

Most of the Yuan Dynasty was completely overthrown, and the newly built Yanwang Palace was not big, and it was not the Bauhinia City later.

The original buildings did not move it. Outside the original city of Beiping, there was a new city, where no walls were built.

It is closely connected with the new urban areas of Daxing County and Tong County, and the new city has a population of at least 10 people.

Tens of thousands of new houses were built, most of which were two-story buildings facing the street with yards behind them.

The surplus population in the countryside was absorbed to work in the industrial zone mainly in Daxing County, and the efficient and dense railways gave workers new demand for housing.

They start families, have children, and work here.

After five years, more and more people need to buy their own houses, and they also have the strength.

Stable jobs and high salaries give them the confidence to buy a house. Even if it is not enough for the time being, some people will ask family members and friends for help.

The Ministry of Engineering specializes in building new cities.

Roads, forests, grasslands, trees, houses, schools, supply and marketing cooperatives, water towers, public toilets, platforms, medical centers, pharmacies, shops...

Dai Deyi and Tongjuan Zhang Jifu walked around the new city.

"The houses here are easy to sell, and even some people can't buy them because of the lack of houses." Zhang Jifu is very familiar with Beiping.

The Military-Industrial Joint Office took over everything in the military, including storage.

Zhang Jifu no longer had to introduce the situation of the warehouse to Zhu Gaochi like he did in the past two years, but he was not idle either.

He is now concurrently serving as the steward of the Military-Industrial Joint Office, responsible for supervision and inspection affairs.

The streets in the new city are paved with large stone bricks, flat and straight, no worse than the avenues in Yingtianfu, with big trees planted on both sides of the road.

Dai Deyi was no longer shocked.

These days, he has seen too many unusual things.

There is no city wall in the city, which makes him feel insecure, "Why not build a city wall?"

"The economic role of the city wall is not great, it is due to military needs, and the cost of building the city wall is very high, which requires a lot of resources, including future maintenance."

"The little prince thinks that it is better to invest this huge resource in the construction of the army, which not only improves the combat effectiveness of the army, but also saves social resources. With the saved social resources, more social development can be improved."

Dai Deyi disagrees, "When you are strong, you don't need city walls, but flowers don't last a hundred days, and people don't have a thousand days."

"Besides, without the protection of the city wall, the Tatars on the grasslands invaded the interior. How can the common people escape?"

"Building castles that play a military role in the frontier, Beiping is no longer considered northern border, so there is no need for a city wall."

Zhang Jifu explained.

Dai Deyi still couldn't agree, but he didn't continue to say more.

Contrary to what people expected, he did not go directly to the guard to investigate the case, but chose to stay in Beiping City.

People don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd.

At intervals, there are public toilets in conspicuous places on the main street.

Unlike the mainland, there are quite a few women on the streets of Beiping, and the public toilets are also divided into men's and women's toilets, which are cleaned by workers who specialize in excrement collection.

"Although people can't avoid the business of collecting manure, it is very profitable. As long as you can bear the stench, you can get a good salary. In the Song Dynasty, many rich people were supported by this business."

"Peking used to use corvee according to the regulations, so that some of the people who served in corvee were assigned to come to the city to collect manure, and then distribute it to farmers."

"Later, after discussing with the Fantai, the little prince canceled this corvee service and subcontracted it to a businessman who is willing to take over."

Zhang Jifu is an old official in Beiping. He knows the changes in Beiping up and down, and he can say a thing or two about everything.

Ordinary people, even workers, cannot get in touch with information more comprehensively than Zhang Jifu, which is caused by his official position.

Officials are destined to receive more information than ordinary people.

"It seems that your clan is very supportive of the young prince." Dai Deyi asked sharply.

"Not to mention support, this is Beiping, and the words of the palace have more influence. The saint has repeatedly decreed to weight the palace."

Zhang Jifu didn't answer the question.

He will not let go of such a sensitive topic.

"This is the urban economy created by China Heavy Industry, and it is said to be an inevitable path in the future." Zhang Jipu quickly changed the subject.

"Each new city has brought huge benefits to China Heavy Industry, but the engineering department did not raise the housing price because of the market demand according to the instructions of the headquarters."

"There are more people buying houses than existing houses, how to solve it?" Dai Deyi asked curiously.

He knows that the common people are afraid of losing money, and even more afraid of inequality.

The logic of some things cannot be explained by the logic of the market.

For example, the issue of housing distribution, if not handled properly, will cause a lot of dissatisfaction.

"According to the needs of the factory, the lottery method and the qualifications of the workers will be used to obtain the housing purchase index."

"Those who are married, those with children are given priority."

"Then some indicators will flow to the market and be provided to people other than China Heavy Industries."

"According to China Heavy Industry's plan, each new urban area in Beiping must absorb at least 50 people to complete the initial goal."

"Three million people."

Dai Deyi couldn't help repeating the number.

Zhang Jifu said with a smile: "When there are 50 people here, it also shows that China Heavy Industry's first-stage industrialization task has been perfectly completed."

"Anyway, the current plan of China Heavy Industry, people who don't understand the principles of it, are becoming more and more incomprehensible."

"I heard that there are a lot of details in it, which foretells a lot of changes and achievements. I don't understand what's going on."

Dai Deyi nodded, thinking to himself, no wonder Lian Zining's speed of setting up a factory in Yingtianfu was far behind Beiping.

It seems that the talent of Prince Yan's son exceeds people's imagination, and what he shows is not as simple as it seems.

"Are you willing to go to Yingtian Mansion?"

Dai Deyi asked suddenly.

Zhang Jifu was at a loss when he heard Dai Deyi's question, and soon there was an inexplicable emotion in his heart. He was proud of being recognized, but also a little worried.

"You don't want to?" Seeing that Zhang Jifu hadn't answered for a long time, Dai Deyi seduced: "Lian Zining from the Ministry of Industry wants to imitate Beiping in Yingtianfu, but there is a lack of experienced officials."

"Although we have only dealt with each other for a few days, but you are familiar with Beiping, I believe that Lian Zining needs you, and you will have a better future if you go to the Ministry of Industry."

finally.

Zhang Jifu shook his head and said with a discouraged smile: "Although I know many things about Beiping, I don't quite understand the reason behind them. Even if I go to Yingtian Mansion, it's just a mere imitation of cats and tigers, and it will make people laugh at the end."

Dai Deyi didn't persuade him any more.

During this time in Beiping, he somewhat understood why King Yan left Beiping, but Beiping was still stable.

It turns out that there is another character in Peking.

Prince Yan.

The key to this person being the same as that of King Yan is that with Prince Yan around, Beiping will not fall into chaos because of King Yan's departure.

"Peking is about to go to war." Zhang Jifu finally said what was in his heart, "Brother Dai is a stalwart man, so he should understand that the current Beiping cannot be chaotic."

Dai Deyi nodded, he had no intention of starting with the army.

His predecessor had stumbled in the army.

The most worrying thing about anything is the first time. Since there is the first time, it doesn't matter the second time or the third time.

Those "mutiny" sergeants were protected by Yan Wangfu, which gave the army confidence.

If he continued to go to the guard, he might end up as the second Ye Xixian.

After leaving Xincheng, Dai Deyi went to visit Yan Dun.

This person who is obviously the Chief Secretary, the Chief Envoy, and the head of a provincial official, is so low-key that people subconsciously ignore him.

Yan Dun smiled wryly when he learned that Dai Deyi had come to him.

He did not reject Dai Deyi.

The two met in the office of the Chief Secretary Yamen.

One sits behind the desk and the other sits on the back chair in front.

"It seems that Yan Fantai is an official who does practical things and doesn't care about the overall situation." Dai Deyi cut to the point.

Yan Dun asked calmly: "What is the overall situation?"

Dai Deyi looked at Yan Dun quietly, and Yan Dun also looked at Dai Deyi quietly.

They were all from the Imperial College.

They are all in their thirties, middle-level officials built by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It was Zhu Yuanzhang's plan that after his death, he would leave behind a group of young and vigorous officials with profound experience in managing the country.

This is the layout of his old age, which began after the death of the prince in the 25th year of Hongwu.

This group of officials has not really come to the fore, they have a common characteristic, in the 29 years of Hongwu, most of them are between 30 and 35 years old.

The prosperity and glory of the future, the prosperity of Yongle and the prosperity of the people's livelihood, is not only created by Zhu Di, but also a prosperous age jointly built by many officials in the local area and countless hard-working ordinary people.

At that moment.

Even those born disabled are specially inspected by local officials.

If it is an eye disease, they will be assigned jobs that only require hard work, and if labor is still available, they will be assigned jobs that they can do.

Be sure to let them learn from an early age to master the skills of future survival.

If they are disabled people who have no labor force, their fathers will be ordered to stay at home, and if they have no close relatives, their relatives will be ordered.

If there are no relatives, they will be raised in the institutions built by Daming in various cities, where they will raise pigs and chickens and ducks, but they will remain behind closed doors.

These disabled people have no other choice but to spend the whole life arranged by the government according to the government's arrangement and learning skills for them since childhood.

Some of these officials were greedy for life and afraid of death like Zhang Lian, and some were drifting with the crowd like Zhang Jifu.

Of course, there are more local officials like Su Guan who have taken refuge in power.

But there are also officials like Yan Dun.

"What is the overall situation?" Yan Dun questioned Dai Deyi again.

Dai Deyi was speechless.

Before he saw Beiping, he could answer Yan Dun with a lot of truths, but now Dai Deyi can't say it.

"My overall situation is the people, and the people's well-being is my overall situation." Yan Dun said loudly.

"In the three years since I took office in Peiping, the headquarter station has only done one thing."

"Lead the people to reclaim the fields."

"I have reclaimed 100 million mu and reclaimed another 100 million mu. I have no other skills but this one thing."

Zhu Di's wish is to make the country rich and the people safe, and he will issue an imperial edict to tell the world after he becomes emperor, but there are also many scholars who have the same wish.

After 500 years.

There are also countless scholars who have fought for the nation one after another.

Dai Deyi smiled silently with the corners of his mouth curled up, didn't say anything more, and finally left the chief secretary's office.

He finally knew the real reason why Gao Mian and Ye Xixian failed.

They thought they were only fighting against the palace, and they took it for granted that they had the support of civil servants.

Actually ah.

They didn't even figure out who the enemies were.

Know thyself, ever-victorious.

This is the way to win.
