Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 160 160: The tallest building in Hanzhong, the scene of the business building!

Just as Zhu Li thought, is there any good tea in the palace?

Although after becoming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer drink the coarse tea that ordinary people drank, but those top-quality teas had no taste to Zhu Yuanzhang, and those that were of a better or worse quality were nothing to him. obvious difference!

But this Kudingcha is different!

One sip is directly different from any other tea, and it doesn't have the rough feeling of coarse tea. The experience is quite good!

"My son, there are quite a few here. If you like to drink, just drink it on weekdays!"

"If you want to respond to Heaven, my son also has some tea tree seeds and many ready-made tea trees. You can also take them back and plant them!"

Zhu Yue said with a smile.

"Well, let's drink for now!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, the faint sound of noisy shouts from the market came in from outside the wall.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the lively commotion outside, and his eyes fell on Zhu Yue!

"Lao Jiu, it's been six years since you came to Hanzhong and became a feudal lord, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly.

"Well, it has indeed been six years!"

Zhu Li nodded, wondering why the old man suddenly mentioned this?

"There is a big difference between Hanzhong Mansion six years ago and Hanzhong Mansion six years later. We don't know it better than you!"

"But we also know everything you have done for Hanzhong, and we also see it!"

"If it weren't for You, Hanzhong Mansion wouldn't have developed to this level!"

"You really didn't disappoint us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with relief.

Hanzhong six years ago and Hanzhong six years later are indeed the same in the sky and the earth. The old man is right. All these changes are indeed due to Zhu Yue!

"You suddenly started praising your son, and he didn't even know what to say!"

Zhu Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was really not used to the current old man. Everything was a little weird!

"Even though we scolded you a lot in the past, I still feel like we owe you a debt!"

"We have scolded those who deserved to be scolded, and we must also praise those who deserved to be praised!"

"Although we didn't say a lot of things, and you didn't tell us either, we know it in our hearts!"

"When I first arrived in Xi'an, I heard that the stable employment rate of ordinary people in Hanzhong has reached about 30%. Can you tell us more specifically?"

Zhu Yuanzhang changed the subject and asked.

The employment rate mentioned here does not include farmers who originally needed to farm, nor does it include original craftsmen!

In this case, the employment rate of 30% is actually very high!

"The common people in Hanzhong, in addition to those who originally had fields to cultivate at home, were originally craftsmen. There are three main types of employment!"

"The first one, and the most numerous one, is the vast majority of laborers, which can also be summarized as freelance jobs!"

"For example, in the night market that has developed in Hanzhong Prefecture, there are many mobile vendors, and they buy all kinds of strange things, including food, drink, entertainment, and daily necessities!"

“Most of these things are made by themselves at home or on site!”

"Although they are also engaged in business activities, in essence, they are using their own efforts in exchange for an equal amount of wealth!"

Zhu Li explained with a smile.

"Well, there's nothing wrong with that. Using one's own efforts in exchange for an equal amount of wealth, compared with those treacherous wealthy businessmen who are unkind and unkind, they are just doing it to make a living!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with deep understanding.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang usually dislikes businessmen the most, the ones he targets are all profiteers who are ruthless for getting rich, just like the small vendors setting up stalls on the street, so naturally they are not among them!

"The second type is the employees hired, such as the people employed in restaurants, theaters, commercial buildings, etc., all belong to the second type of hired workers!"

"Employers have a certain number of workers to hire. For example, if a restaurant needs to hire four waiters, that means four jobs, and the number of people is limited!"

"Currently, the number of jobs that Hanzhong Prefecture can provide seems to be quite large, but compared with the skyrocketing population of Hanzhong, it is still too few!"

Zhu Li sighed helplessly.

Nowadays, it can be said that most of the jobs are supported by the industries under his command!

Others only account for a small proportion!

For example, several major industrial factories in Zhu Yue employ tens of thousands of workers!

“We believe there will definitely be more and more positions like this in the future!”

"Is there a third kind?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"Of course there is. The third type is the craftsman, who relies on his own craftsmanship to make a living!"

"There are many storefronts in Hanzhong, and they are basically rented to these craftsmen for them to open shops!"

"After all, most ordinary people can't afford a shop!"

Zhu Li nodded and explained.

Although most of the industrial structure in Hanzhong are industries under his command, Zhu Li, Zhu Li is also taking a path of diversified development.

He does not exclude private businessmen from joining in, within certain rules, so that Hanzhong's economy can be filled with more fresh blood, and they can form a complementary and promoting effect. Only then can Hanzhong's overall economy be in a healthy state. Keep improving!

"Well, you've done a pretty good job!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction. He also knows that if a country wants to become prosperous and strong, it is crucial for the people to have a stable source of income, so the employment rate is definitely the top priority!

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang emphasized the hereditary system. He felt that whatever the fathers did, you could continue to do it in the next generation. This would create a relatively stable situation for the entire country!

But stability is stability, and rapid development is unrealistic!

Zhu Yuanzhang, who has seen so many simulators and seen so many scenes from later generations, naturally knows how serious the drawbacks of the rules he made before are!

It can also be said that from the very beginning, under the rules of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty was destined to only develop a small-scale peasant economy!

If a country wants to become truly prosperous and powerful, it is far from enough to just rely on farming. The upper limit is there, and when it reaches a certain level, it will stop moving forward, or even start to decline!

Because when the small-scale peasant economy reaches its later stage, a series of problems will arise!

For example, the problem of land annexation has occurred in all dynasties. This is also the root cause of the prosperity and decline of dynasties!

Because the prosperity of the dynasties in the past dynasties was actually accompanied by a series of social problems. The most obvious one is that the gap between the rich and the poor is too large. No matter how strong the country is, most of the resources are in the hands of a few people. Ordinary people have a hard time living. It will become more and more sad!

There are many aspects that Zhu Yuanzhang has not realized yet, or in other words, from his perspective, he has not been able to truly see this matter thoroughly!

After all, he is an emperor. How can he think about the shortcomings of the imperial power system?

Take land annexation as an example. Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to prevent this situation from happening!

But what Zhu Yuanzhang could not realize was that as the emperor, he was actually the largest landowner in the land annexation!

To be precise, the entire royal family should be the largest landowner!

The problem that broke out in the middle and late Ming Dynasty in history is actually this problem!

Zhu Yuanzhang has already seen the original historical process of Zhu Di's lineage, and he is also aware of some problems, but if he is asked to summarize or come up with solutions, it will really be a bit difficult for him for a while!

Zhu Yue heard Zhu Yuanzhang praise that he had done a good job, but he didn't have much psychological fluctuations!

This is where we are, it’s just the beginning, and it’s not enough!

The current Hanzhong Mansion has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the Hanzhong Mansion six years ago, but there are also many problems!

Taking the employment rate as an example, in his opinion, 30% is really not high!

Because most people actually stay idle after planting their fields!

After all, farming depends on the season, and you don’t have to work in the fields every day. Those young and middle-aged people who are idle in large numbers will be a waste of labor if they don’t have a stable job!

What Zhu Yue has to do now is to make use of all these idle employed people!

Every 10% increase in the employment rate can bring huge changes to the economy of Hanzhong Prefecture!

The two complement each other!

After having stable jobs, those idle young adults can go out to make a living and earn equivalent returns for their efforts. When it is time to plow the fields or harvest, they can then go back to farm and help with farming, which can maximize Solve the problem of idle population!

Just like in the 90s, it was basically like this.

Migrant workers who go out to work basically only return home during spring plowing or autumn harvest. After finishing their work, they continue to go out to work!

Therefore Zhu Querk also stipulates that during spring plowing and autumn harvest seasons, workers will be allowed to take ten days off each!

These workers naturally refer to the workers employed in the industries under the command of the King of Han!

In fact, this rule was not only practiced by Zhu Yue, but also existed during this time in the Ming Dynasty!

For example, military camps in various places are basically sent back to farm during spring plowing and autumn harvest. There are also targets for how much food the family fields can produce!

"I've had tea and my stomach doesn't feel bloated anymore!"

"We want to go out for a walk and see the night view and night market of Hanzhong!"

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Zhu Yue at this time.

"Zhao Jian, prepare the car!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yue immediately gave instructions to Zhao Jian who was not far away.

"No need, just walk down the street. Father and son, we can change our outfits and walk around casually!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, intending to get closer to the streets of Hanzhong and experience the differences between Hanzhong Prefecture, Xi'an Prefecture, and even the markets of Yingtian Prefecture.

After hearing this, Zhu Li let the old man alone. After the father and son changed into ordinary gentry clothes, they left the palace directly.

Of course, there were only the father and son on the surface, but secretly there were a group of Jinyi guards such as Jiang Yu, and some guards such as Zhao Jian who were secretly guarding them.

They also changed into ordinary guard attire and blended in with the crowd.

After all, no matter whether it is the personal guards of the King of Han or the Imperial Guards, swaggering through the city will still cause a lot of noise!

Just like ordinary people walking through the streets of Hanzhong, Zhu Yuanzhang could experience the differences between Hanzhong City, Xi'an and even Yingtian City!

Because Hanzhong City does not occupy enough space and has a huge flow of people, it gives people a more prosperous feeling!

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also discovered that there were obviously many more foreigners wearing foreign clothes in this market than in Xi'an!

"Lao Jiu, if Hanzhong City continues to develop, will there not be enough space?"

"When we arrived, we also noticed that there seemed to be many big houses outside the city. It is said that they are all the factories you opened, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Yue while walking among the crowd.

"Yes, it's because Hanzhong City was originally too small, so my son had to build some large factories directly outside the city. After all, every inch of land in the city can be said to be very valuable!"

"The land itself is not enough, and there is no need to build all the factories in the city!"

Zhu Li nodded and explained.

"Are you still planning to expand Hanzhong City?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

He remembered that he had seen the expansion of Hanzhong Mansion several times in the simulator. After all, the current Hanzhong City could accommodate a population of one million, which was already its limit!

And this limit is already approaching!

In his opinion, Lao Jiu should be preparing to expand Hanzhong soon!

"My son does have this plan!"

"On the basis of the existing city, expand another part to the northwest and conduct pilot construction as a new district in Hanzhong!"

"My son already has a general direction for the specific plan, but there are still some problems to be dealt with in the future!"

"But it won't be long. Hanzhong City will definitely have to be expanded within this year, otherwise it will really be overcrowded!"

Zhu Yue said with a wry smile.

After all, today's streets are already crowded. If you want to improve this situation, expanding the city is undoubtedly the best choice. Directly spreading the flow of people can fundamentally solve the problem of overcrowding in Hanzhong!

"Well, we think so too!"

"If Hanzhong should be expanded, expand it. We support you. If you need anything, you can tell us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with deep understanding.

Zhu Yue had a look of surprise when he heard this.

He obviously didn't expect that the old man would actually offer to help in this matter. When did the old man become so generous?

"By the way, I heard that your Hanzhong Business Building is pretty good. If you have time, please take us there to have a look!"

Zhu Yuanzhang changed the topic and ordered.

The old man made the request directly, and Zhu Yue naturally would not refuse, so he led the old man directly to the Hanzhong Business Building!

Today's Hanzhong Business Building can be said to have become a must-visit holy place for countless people after coming to Hanzhong Mansion!

Everyone also wants to climb to the top of this building and experience the feeling of having a panoramic view of the entire Hanzhong!

Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang followed Zhu Yue and appeared at the entrance of Hanzhong Business Building. Before he entered, Zhu Yuanzhang was directly shocked by the majestic professional style of this building!
