The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son

Chapter 22: : Serve people with virtue

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan aggressively.

He wanted an explanation.

to be frank.

This is too arrogant.

How can there be such pitfalls.

Fang Jifan smiled.

Take a look at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao was like eating a fly.

This pot seems to be really on his back.

At this time, Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, dare to ask. Nowadays, the promotion of potatoes and sweet potatoes is very strong. According to the knowledge of the children, the provinces have begun large-scale cultivation. Last year and this year, the food shortages in the provinces hardly appeared, even This has caused the land price to fall. Why? Because there is no shortage of grain, no shortage of grain, the price of grain will naturally be cheaper. The so-called grain cheapness hurts the farmers, how to hurt? A lot of land, people have no intention of growing grain, the landlord I think that renting land to farmers will not make any profit. Even if food is available, the price is low, so they naturally have no incentive to rent out the land as much as possible. Then ... at present, people seem to be able to eat Satiated, but ... a large number of refugees were born! "

Fang Jifan said something wrong.

At this point, the Emperor Hongzhi frowned, and the Jiangxi Chief Executive Secretary ’s report did indeed have this situation. The Fujian Chief Executive Officer and the Henan Chief Executive Officer also happened to some extent. "

It is strange to say that there are refugees in the abyss, but there are still refugees in the good years.

Gu cheap hurt farmers, Gu Gui hungry farmers.

That is to say, if the grain is too cheap, it will hit agriculture, and people's enthusiasm for farming will be seriously reduced, and even many people will abandon the land. But once the grains are too expensive, they are often caused by disasters. When disasters occur, the prices of grains skyrocket and people have to go hungry.

This balance is too difficult to master.

Fang Jifan continued: "Just as the Jiangxi Chief Secretary, there are tens of thousands of new refugees in the country alone. This is only statistics from the government. I do n’t know if there are any reports. Your majesty, keep going. If all of Beijing ’s 13 provinces are like this, how can they get it? The reason is that there is only so much land and so many people. Once the land harvest soars, more food than the people ’s needs, then this food is bound to It will accumulate. Now, Daming does n’t need so much land to feed the current population and continue to cultivate. It is meaningless. The problem now is that there are too many farmers. ”

Emperor Hongzhi nodded his head, many signs have begun to appear.

With too many farmers, the problem will only get worse.

Fang Jifan immediately said: "But the problem is that once these migrants no longer cultivate the land, what do they depend on for their livelihood? Is it possible for them to wander around so that they can't see hope for life and save their dissatisfaction with the court? The resentment turned them from mobsters into mobsters and wicked people. If you let it go on like this, sooner or later, there will be a big disaster. "

There is nothing wrong with the emperor Hongzhi's heavy heart.

Fang Jifan said with a grin: "So the children's officials said that our Prince His Royal Highness Sheng Ming, Prince His Royal Highness patted his head to solve this problem. For example ... to build a new city."

"This is money!" Emperor Hongzhi glared at Fang Jifan, no matter how your Fang Jifan turned the black and white upside down, it was impossible to get around.

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "No, this is the resettlement. Your Majesty, you think, how much manpower we need to recruit to build a new city, and to build a palace for your majesty. Children have calculated that just one new city in the capital city needs more than one hundred There are various workshops, concrete training, ceramic tile making, kiln burning, glass making ... These workshops now require more than 50,000 manpower vacancies, and 50,000 people have jobs What it means means that no 10,000 households can be resettled, and 50,000 households have a population of 200,000. "

Fang Jifan continued: "On the construction site, countless masons, stone masons, carpenters and countless different coolies are needed. How many people are there? Even if the children are too few, this is just the number Ten thousand people, the total manpower required is at least more than one hundred thousand. In the future ... it may even increase. One hundred thousand people are one hundred thousand families and hundreds of thousands of people. They can rely on these to make a living. Those who ca n’t cultivate the land come out of the land, and since then, they have the wages to collect. Not to mention, these people still need to eat, live, and live, and they do n’t know how much demand they can generate. ”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly, so ... Is it okay?

Fang Jifan sighed: "But to feed so many people, where is it so easy, where is the court so much silver, there is not in the treasury, and there is no money in the inner bank, even if the Fang family really smashed the pot and sold the iron, this silver was produced ? "

Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

Fang Jifan said: "Since they can't get out, some people can come out. For example ... Under this world, how many families are holding countless wealth of officials, honors, and old wealth, they have money in their hands ... even the wealth of the family, Yuan and not the state treasury, but ten, one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, their wealth, the sons dare to pat their chests to guarantee that this wealth can be ten times or even twenty times the current treasury income , Thirty times. "

"Your Majesty, they are willing to take out their silver and build a new city, and they get their new homes. During the construction process, hundreds of thousands of people have been able to feed themselves. These hundreds of thousands of people with silver may have produced Consumption, and I do n’t know how many merchants and manpower can support this. This is a profitable transaction, which not only solves the problem of the current refugees ... Princes and children, but also earn some money from them. The palace is more than that. The value of the new palace is also rising with the rise of house prices. Your majesty, this acre is 12,000 silver. The land of Daming Palace is more valuable than ordinary houses. You ca n’t buy a mu of silver for two thousand silver. In terms of market value, waiting for the completion of the construction of the new palace, this Daming Palace is worth at least 50 million two-grain silver or more. "

Emperor Hongzhi took a breath.

It sounds like a perfect result. It seems that everyone has benefited from it.

No, it doesn't sound right. What's the problem?

Emperor Hongzhi remembered that the impeachment was sparse, and Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "But you know not know, many people are now complaining that the housing price of this new city is actually more than the old city."

"But the price of the old city has fallen." Fang Jifan said innocently: "If they can't afford the new city, they can live in the old city. Besides, dare to ask your majesty, ordinary people, will buy the new city's mansion ?"

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly surprised.

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "They won't buy it. They still have many people who are refugees or are hungry. Even if they can eat enough, the children's clothes at home may not be able to afford it."

Fang Jifan took a deep look at Emperor Hongzhi, and finally said: "Your Majesty, the refugees have no work and no way out. They resent and dissatisfaction, they will gather together. Throughout the dynasties, once such people lost their hope of survival, There will be rebellion, from Chen Sheng Wu Guang, to Huangjin Rebellion, to Huang Chao, which one is not the case? "

"But ..." Fang Jifan said meaningfully: "But historically, His Majesty has heard of people who wish to buy a mansion in the New City with hundreds or thousands of silver, how dissatisfied and complained, Even if they gritted their teeth and hated them, would they ... rebel? "

Emperor Hongzhi's face changed.

All of a sudden, the thinking became clear.

Daigo Initiation.

The people at the bottom have no way of life. Once they are desperate, they have to.

But the young officials who complained, as well as the small businessmen, small owners, and families who could not afford to look at the new city, but those who were still honest, but could not settle in the new city, they were the biggest victims of the new city, because only They just wanted to buy the house's injustice, but they were hurt by the price. They will definitely complain and complain ...

But such a person, who has a family and a business, except for having no house, can be regarded as having a good life. They have wives and children ~ www.readwn.com ~ Will they react?

Historically ... there has never been such a person.

Which one is more important, at a glance.

Fang Jifan sincerely said: "Of course, in the future, they will definitely be resettled, but ... when resettlement is the priority, no one buys a house, the new city cannot be built, it does not require so much labor, and it cannot be built like this. Duo Gong Fang, this is His Royal Highness's plan. His Royal Highness, in order to resettle the refugees, can be said to be exhausted, and the children admire them very much. "

is it?

Suddenly, the grievances on Zhu Houzhao's face disappeared, actually ... Lao Fang said very reasonable.

He coughed: "Father and Emperor, that's right, that's what children think."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and couldn't help saying: "However, how to deal with these impeachments? You also know that they are now making a lot of noise. If they continue to impeach, can I ignore them?"

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that within three to five days, they will be pressed hard."

The emperor Hongzhi saw Fang Jifan sullenly.

He couldn't help frowning: "Oh? Don't you mess up."

Fang Jifan shook his head: "Your Majesty, the people who have read books have done illegal things. In the capital, everyone praises the children, saying that children serve the people with virtue and have the style of ancient ministers. Your Majesty does not believe it, but ask Ouyang Zhi. "

Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

"Children just believe that there will be enlightened people with lofty ideals in the court, to refute these ridiculous performances, don't worry, Your Majesty!"

"Is it?" Emperor Hongzhi was worried and felt suspicious!
