Chapter 17: Plundering Talents
In the past 10 days, the feelings of the people in Beijing have been earth-shaking.
Seven days ago, the cleaning of the capital was completed.
Then, an army of more than 3 million people began the renovation of the old city.
There is great power in numbers, and this sentence is absolutely true.
More than 3 million people gathered together to work collectively will work more efficiently than ordinary people can imagine.
It's not enough to describe it!
Roads large and small have been renovated and successfully at a rapid pace, and ditches and sewers have been widened and reinforced.
There are also countless dilapidated houses in the outer city that have been demolished and replanned for reconstruction.
Large public toilets made of blue bricks and blue tiles are built on the corners of streets.
Countless flowers and trees of all kinds have been neatly transplanted from outside the city to the sides of the roads in the capital.
And these construction projects, which seem to have a huge amount of work, have been basically completed in less than ten days because of the unlimited amount of materials and a large number of workers!
The first miracle in history!
The first defeated emperor in history!
The first wonderful emperor in history!
The first brutal faint king in history......
These titles were placed on the head of Emperor Zhu Youxiao by scholars.
There are countless names, but there is only one core, this emperor is too good at spending money!
It is conservatively estimated that when the renovation of the old city is completely completed, aside from the labor, the cost of materials alone will exceed 10 million taels of silver!
……
"Huh! The first defeated emperor in history? ”
Zhu Youxiao sat on the edge of the stone table in the pavilion in the back garden and chuckled.
"Will Lao Tzu tell you, is this just the beginning?"
He liked the name very much.
Isn't it fragrant?
Lao Tzu will tell you, even the imperial city is now starting to be renovated?
Zhu Youxiao, now all he is thinking about is how to spend his money and spend his heavenly money as soon as possible.
Anyway, all the large and medium-sized shops in the entire capital, almost all the workshops, and most of the various materials are his.
The money spent has been in the hands of the people, and most of it will eventually return to him.
It is equivalent to just paying some materials that can be recycled, and doing things big and small.
In order to spend money lavishly, since the renovation of the old city, he began to formulate rules and regulations, the core of which is the wage scale of laborers.
Of course, the salary scales of officials, large and small, and officers and men at all levels have also been formulated.
Since yesterday, a gradual implementation has begun.
After three days, the big pot of rice will be abolished, and the system of more work and more rewards will be implemented.
All of this is mainly due to Queen Zhang Yan.
She has now fully stepped into the role of the Grand Steward.
The Imperial City Women's 3,000 Escort Team has been formed and has begun to train in shifts.
She also resettled more than a million homeless women.
Large and medium-sized stores have also reopened, and workshops have resumed production.
After a short period of training, all of the 3,000 female officers began their own work.
Today, the imperial city, including the entire capital, has become well organized.
All this has provided an effective and strong support for the implementation of Zhu Youxiao's new salary grade system.
After all, if you pay your salary, you have to have a place to spend.
……
"Your Majesty, because the capital has always been allowed to enter and not leave, coupled with the continuous influx of displaced people into the capital, the total population of the capital has exceeded four million today!"
In the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Yan Yingyuan, the new prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, reported to Zhu Youxiao with a serious expression on his young face.
As for why he's here, it's simple.
After the CIA formed by Xiao Xuanzi completed the formation work, Zhu Youxiao ordered him to start training.
Among the CIA, there are more than 10,000 original eunuchs, these people originally had the work foundation of the East Factory, and they only need to re-memorize the new plan of the CIA before they can be sent out for use.
Seven days ago, Zhu Youxiao's first order to Xiao Xuanzi was to give him a list and a bunch of holy decrees, and asked him to send someone to take the people on the list to the capital politely along with their whole family.
Of course, it is impossible to pick up people with so many eunuch informants.
Most of them carried a large number of silver tickets and were sent to various places to bring all kinds of craftsmen in the Ming Empire, as many as possible, to the capital together with their whole families to settle down.
What is a craftsman, Zhu Youxiao knows best.
That is the primary productive force of the country! You have to be in your own hands as much as possible!
If you have more craftsmen, you will have fewer enemies.
Taking advantage of the fact that the news of the great changes in the capital is still in the blockade, his first step is to send people to all parts of the country to plunder talents.
Zhu Youxiao thought that it was so simple.
At least most of the armor in the capital now, because of various reasons in the past, are shoddy, and must be rebuilt.
Otherwise, there will be no basis for the large-scale military expansion that he is about to launch.
"Your Majesty, the regulations of the first Ming Royal Council admissions examination have been drawn up and are waiting to be implemented."
Although Yan Yingyuan is young, he has a calm and calm temperament, and he is very kind of Zhu Youxiao's temper, and as soon as he came to the capital to meet, he was entrusted with an important task and served as the first prime minister.
"Well, that's good."
Colonel Zhu You nodded and looked at the other two people on the side, "Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, how are the preparations for the Daming Royal Army Military Academy that you two are in charge of?" ”
These two generals in history who were the most proficient at fighting in the late Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao will certainly not forget.
Therefore, after inquiring about the file, he got the news of their current address, and as soon as possible, he asked Xiao Xuanzi to send someone to take the holy decree and take the two of them to the capital with hundreds of families.
Anyway, there are so many mansions and courtyards in my hands that are empty, and picking a few at random is enough to settle these rare talents and the whole family.
"Back to the emperor, according to your instructions in the first draft, we have combined the essence of each dynasty, and we have roughly done it, and we can improve it while training in the future."
Lu Xiangsheng replied respectfully.
He was very grateful to the emperor for giving him a huge stage to play as best as he could.
Yes, this big stage is scary: 600,000 recruits! Recruits were all selected and recruited from among the homeless people and the innocent common people.
Moreover, the appointment and dismissal of the newly formed recruits and their generals are all responsible for themselves and Sun Chuanting!
The emperor only promised to provide unlimited money, food, and armor.
And all the generals of this new army must be selected from the Daming Royal Army Officer Academy established this time.
Talent-only use.
This was the only instruction of the emperor.
"Well done."
Zhu Youxiao looked at the three pillars of the country with great satisfaction, and said: "Then, starting tomorrow, it will be promulgated to the whole city, and the Government Council and the Army Academy will start to implement enrollment at the same time. ”
"In addition, the selection of new recruits should also start at the same time."
"At the same time, the salaries of the new army were also promulgated throughout the city."
Zhu Youxiao was full of confidence, "Our new army will never be short of money and food in the future, and we will use a large amount of money and food to train a new army that can fight a war within three months!" ”
"Well done, I will give you three Aiqing a big surprise!"
