Daming: Distribution of Lingnan, you develop the Pearl River Delta?

Chapter 100 As soon as he arrived in the rich area, Zhu Biao was shocked
Next, Zhu Biao also went to the homes of some residents to check.

Then I discovered that almost all the residents here had large wooden beds, and the workmanship was quite exquisite.

The bedding is also new.

In addition, there are several families eating, and the dishes on the table are also very rich, including a lot of seafood.

Zhu Biao asked: "Is every meal of yours full of fish and meat?"

“What do you eat if you don’t eat meat?”

The owner of the family grinned and replied honestly: "Since last year, His Majesty the King of Qin has organized people in the undeveloped areas of Lingnan, which are close to the sea, to go fishing in the sea, and there are many fishing boats. Not relying on Those mountainous people in Hainan grow rice. There is so much food that everyone can’t eat it all, and it’s hard to keep it in stock. Therefore, His Highness the King of Qin also asked those counties to open many breeding farms. The chicken and mutton we eat now , are all sold in the market, and the price is very cheap!”

Good guy!
Every household eats meat!

In the entire Ming Dynasty, except for Lingnan, there is probably no semicolon.

Not even Jinling, which is full of powerful people!

In Jinling, meat is very expensive.

Only Xungui and the imperial palace can be so luxurious.

Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh: "My second brother is indeed a person who benefits all people!"

After leaving this family, Zhu Biao might still be a little unconvinced.

Then he found another family.

The family had finished their meal and accompanied Zhu Biao after opening the door. However, Zhu Biao went to the kitchen and looked left and right, but found nothing. He couldn't help but ask: "Have you not cooked lunch yet?"

"Go back to the prince, our family ate early and have already finished eating." the host responded.

"Oh, there are no leftovers..." Zhu Biao said with a smile: "It seems that your family is very good and will not waste food."

But the host said: "No, the extra rice is in the rice cooker. If you are hungry at night, you can heat it up and eat it, and then put the remaining dishes in the refrigerator!"

"What is a refrigerator?" Zhu Biao wondered.

Refrigerator technology has also been conquered... Of course, Zhu Xi spent his points to buy it, but the current refrigerators are just simple devices and do not have strong ice-making capabilities. Moreover, every household has They are all still small refrigerators with only one cabinet.

As for the big ones, they are still being designed and developed.

The host came to the refrigerator and opened it.

Good guy, it’s all full of big fish and meat, and there’s even a refrigerator full of ingredients…

Zhu Biao was speechless now.

Later, he visited several more houses and found that they were all the same. They all ate big fish and meat.

So after leaving Jinhua Community, Zhu Biao said to Zhu Fang, "Second brother, are all the people living in this community rich?"

"Look what you said, brother, who among the rich live in the community?"

Zhu Fang smiled and said, "Next, do you want to see the rich people?"

"That's okay, but aren't there any poor people?" Zhu Biao asked.

"Yes, I have!"

Zhu Fang said: "There are many tenants in Xicheng who cannot afford housing. If you want to see what they eat, I suggest you don't go see it, because in Panyu Prefecture, rice costs seven cents per catty, and meat costs seven cents per catty. There are those who earn more than ten cents, and there are those who earn twenty or thirty cents per pound, but those people’s wages are only twenty or thirty taels a month less, don’t you think they can’t afford it?”

"Panyu Mansion is so rich, but the rice and grain are not expensive at all. Why?" Zhu Biao asked. "Of course, those farmers and fishermen can only sell to Panyu Prefecture. The market lacks competitiveness because ordinary people in other places still cannot have a big meal of fish and meat." Zhu Xi explained.

Zhu Biao said: "If this is the case, wouldn't those fishermen and people who raise poultry suffer a great loss?"

"will not."

Zhu Fang said to Zhu Biao: "The market will automatically adjust prices without too much intervention from us. For example, now that people in Panyu Prefecture are rich, and the fish and meat can only be sold here, then the market price It will be determined by the overall market in Panyu Prefecture. However, when Huizhou Prefecture develops in the future and the people there become richer, the situation will be different."

"Why is it different?" Zhu Biao asked sincerely.

"Because there is competition!"

Zhu Xi explained: "People in Huizhou Prefecture are rich, so they will definitely want to eat meat and fish every day, so they will look for fishermen and farmers to buy them, but in this way, those fish meat will be sold to Huizhou Prefecture The people of Panyu compete with the people of Panyu Prefecture, so everyone will raise the price, hoping that the other party will give up."

"Then what if you develop the entire Lingnan and everyone becomes rich?"

Zhu Biao suddenly thought of this question, and he asked: "When the time comes, if some people see that it is better to go to work to make money than to grow food, will there be no one to grow food? Second brother, this is a big problem!"

"What's the problem?"

Zhu Fang smiled and said: "First of all, not to mention that there will be people growing grain, and at that time, I, the King of Qin, can also intervene, for example, reduce the tax on farmland grain, and even not only not tax the grain growers, but also give them They subsidize farming. The more food they grow, the more subsidies they will get, so people will continue to grow it!"

"They grow food, and you give them money?"

Zhu Biao couldn't help but complain: "Second brother, you are really rich!"

"Haha."

Zhu Xi smiled.

What is a local tyrant?
This is the local tyrant.

What is willfulness?
This is capricious!
But Zhu Xi still said: "Brother, don't worry, even if there is no food cultivation in Lingnan in the future, isn't there still a lot of land in Ming Dynasty? And brother, don't forget, there are still many fields in Nanyang! When the time comes, there will always be people Those who grow food. As long as you have money, you are not afraid of not being able to buy it."

This is true.

Moreover, the Nanyang area, such as Nanyue and Siam, are good places with three or even four crops a year. It is a natural place for rice. Moreover, Zhu Xi also has plans. After conquering the entire Nanyang in the future, he will be there. Focus on developing agriculture.

Therefore, Zhu Biao's worries were nothing to Zhu Ping.

"Brother Emperor, I will take you to see how the local rich people live! You can't just look at the common people, right?" Zhu Ping chuckled.

Then, the convoy came to a villa area.

There are all single-family villas here.

Moreover, the location is very good. You can see Prince Qin's Mansion across the river, which is in the city center.

"Brother Imperial, let me explain it to you first!"

Zhu Fang smiled and said: "The land price here is 300 taels of silver...one square meter!"

"What do you mean?" Zhu Biao was confused.

"One square meter costs 300 taels of silver, and a villa is generally 380 square meters. So for the house here, one costs 11 taels of silver!"

Zhu Ping's response made Zhu Biao's eyes widen.

He looked around and saw that there were definitely more than a hundred households here!

Are there so many people in Panyu Prefecture who can afford a house worth 11 taels of silver?
