Chapter 18 Two big things I want to do
Early in the morning, the large square of Chongwenmen Street, which is full of flowers, is very lively.
Hundreds of tables and chairs are arranged in four squares along the sidewalks around the main square.
More than 1,000 female officials, holding pen and paper in their hands, sat behind wooden tables.
Banners with slogans hung above the wooden tables.
The 10,000 soldiers of the Brave Guard, fully armed, spread all over the square, standing solemnly.
The simple tweeter newly developed by the craftsman's workshop was carried by cavalry squads, shouting back and forth in the streets and alleys.
"Daming Royal Government Council, the first admissions exam is registered today on Chongwenmen Street and Grand Square! If you are interested in becoming an official, please come to the main square of Chongwenmen Street! ”
"Daming Royal Army Academy, the first admissions exam is registered in the main square of Chongwenmen Street today, and those who intend to serve the country and serve the country should go to the square to register."
"The Ming Royal Army has begun to recruit troops from all over the city! The minimum monthly military salary is three taels of silver, including three meals a day, and those who are admitted will be given five taels of silver on the spot! If you are interested in joining the army, please go to Chongwenmen Street Square to register! ”
"Daming Royal Construction Company began recruiting construction workers today, male or female. Three meals a day, the salary starts at 500 Wen per month, more work and more rewards, those who are interested in working, please go to the square of Chongwenmen Street to register! ”……
The huge job fair, with the shouts of the cavalry officers and soldiers, began at eight o'clock in the morning in the square of Chongwenmen Street.
The bustling crowd of all kinds gradually filled the large square.
Everyone is also in a hurry!
Because yesterday afternoon, the renovation of the old city of the capital was basically completed, except for some skilled craftsmen, who were called to the imperial city to continue their work, the others were dismissed.
And without work, there will be no free distribution of three meals a day, so what will happen to the ordinary people in the capital who are used to three meals a day?
The most anxious were undoubtedly the hundreds of thousands of homeless people who had just eaten more than ten days of food, and when they heard the shouts of cavalry all over the city, they simply rushed to the main square of Chongwenmen Street.
The most lively thing is undoubtedly the recruitment office, but the recruits only recruit men under the age of 25 and over 16, who are innocent and in good health.
Those who do not meet the recruitment conditions go to the recruitment office of the Royal Building Brigade to sign up and sign a contract, which can be regarded as a temporary guarantee of food and clothing in the future, and they no longer have to worry about starving to death.
And the most deserted is the Admissions Office of the Government Council.
Its first rule, literacy, eliminated countless people.
Moreover, it has other requirements, three generations of innocence, which makes more people retreat.
Even with such harsh conditions, there are many down-and-out talents, lifters, and children who go to sign up.
There's no way, who doesn't want to be an official?
This is an enrollment initiated by the emperor, which is much less demanding than the imperial examination that can be called a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops.
The bustling and huge recruitment, recruitment, and labor recruitment meetings lasted for three days, basically wiping out all the idle people in the capital.
Even the aborigines of the capital have mostly joined in.
It can be said that now there are four million people in the capital, at least eighty percent of whom are working for the emperor.
The Royal Building Brigade was the largest, with nearly one and a half million people.
They were both men and women, and there were more men.
As soon as they were recruited, they were organized by the government, supported and led by 20,000 soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion, and under the command of thousands of craftsmen, they began to go out of the various gates of the capital, starting from the city gate, and began to build roads along the old official roads in all directions.
The new type of official road that Zhu Youxiao wants to build is not so simple, what he wants to build is a super avenue that is thirty zhang wide!
This is also the hundred-year plan he wants, and he doesn't have to plan and rebuild it back and forth like later generations.
And today's Ming Dynasty, what is the most?
It must be the homeless people!
As long as you have a salary and three meals a day, how many homeless people can't recruit them?
Therefore, he recruited the people of the entire capital, which was not enough, and yesterday he also ordered Xiao Xuanzi to send a hundred teams of 100 people to spread the news along the four directions of the capital and spread the news of the capital's big recruitment.
No matter how many displaced people come in, he plans to accept them all.
He not only wants to overhaul the super official road, but also builds countless 10,000 acres of farms along both sides of the official road!
Every thirty miles or so, a large military fort was built to garrison the troops for defense and to ensure the security and stability of the large farms.
Zhu Youxiao, as a dead house, decided on these two things, repaired the official road, and built farms along both sides of the official road!
The farms he wants to build are also different, with an area ranging from 10,000 mu to 100,000 mu.
In each large farm, not only one or two large wells capable of housing large water wheels must be drilled, but also ecological breeding and planting must be carried out.
In addition to grain planting, fish ponds, orchards, vegetable gardens, chickens, ducks and geese, and even cattle and sheep must be raised.
In his previous life, he really wanted to have his own ecological farm and let him fiddle with it.
However, in his previous life, he was only a town hukou and did not have even an inch of his own land, so it became the biggest regret in his heart.
And now, he is undoubtedly the biggest landlord in the world, and he must make up for the regrets of his previous life.
Zhu Youxiao has already decided in his heart that wherever his super official road is built, it will be Lao Tzu's land, and his new super farm will be built!
Those former landowners should salute first and then soldiers.
The land that the official road passes through, you can't sell it!
You sell, and Lao Tzu will definitely buy your land at a price higher than the market price.
Not for sale? Well, the charge of a gangster will fall on your head in a few days!
If you don't sell it, I'll save money!
The farm was used to house the displaced people and the families of the construction army, and it was also the place he planned to use to reward the soldiers in the future.
When the time comes, there will be enough farms, there will be enough food, and there will be enough meat of all kinds.
Hum! Lao Tzu recruited all the displaced people in the world to work for him, and looked at the upcoming peasant uprising, and there would be a few big cats and kittens left!
Quan Daming is now full of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he can't take care of all the places for the time being.
Then a peasant uprising could not be avoided at all.
What Zhu Youxiao can do now is to recruit displaced people to work, minimize the size of the rebel army, and strive to preserve as much of the vitality of the Ming Empire as possible.
As for the wild boar skins outside the gate, to be honest, Zhu Youxiao didn't take them seriously at all.
What can a nation in which all the people are just a million people, and young and middle-aged men are only a few hundred thousand, fight with themselves?
As long as he controls the vast area north of the Yellow River within a year or two, has tens of millions of people in his hands, and trains a million troops, he will be able to exterminate the wild boar skin in minutes.
The new army he planned to form was not the army in the history of the Ming Dynasty that was not well fed and clothed, and went into battle with all kinds of inferior weapons.
That's going to be a new army armed to the teeth and rich to the teeth!
The only ones who can cause huge trouble to themselves are the big and small families of the Ming Dynasty who are about to counterattack, and the local tyrants and inferior gentry.
There are also many princes of the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty, and uprising armies from all over the country.
These people are the great enemies of themselves in the future.
