The railroad is a good thing, whether it is transporting people or goods, or transporting troops, it is faster than riding a horse - the railway itself can transport war horses, even tanks!

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen's way of crossing is a bit inexplicable, and he still hasn't figured out why he crossed and how he crossed it, so he didn't have time to get an arsenal and a smart brain or something like that.

Aside from the not quite version of the tutorials at the Traverser Training Base, there's nothing left.

So, there were no tanks, neither did the blue-fire Gatling, and they didn't even have a damn knowledge of history.

However, no matter how innocent Emperor Chongzhen is, he also knows the role of the railway-doesn't the Celestial Empire in later generations always say three horizontal and three vertical arteries?

Isn't there always two time periods a year when you can see the soldiers coming and going on the train?

Occasionally, you can see good things like tanks with gun barrels, and even some big killers once in a while......

If the railway is not a good thing, why will later generations speed up and speed up again, they have always mentioned that the appearance of high-speed rail of 300 kilometers per hour is still thinking about speeding up?

Although the current Daming does not have those tanks and big killing weapons, Daming has cavalry and war horses, and these things and grain and grass can be transported by rail, which is very important!

The cavalry is the heavy tank of this era!

As for transporting people, Daming is different from later generations.

Although the future generations will also engage in household registration and temporary residence permits, as long as you hold the ID card of the flower planter, except for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, any province and city in the land of China will not go casually?

Da Ming can't do it, even if he has Da Ming's household registration - there must be a road guide.

This thing is more brutal than things like temporary residence permits and passports - without it, no matter how awesome you are, you can't get out of your state capital.

Of course, except for scholars, because they need to study and pretend to be forced to go out, so they naturally can't be bound by the road guide.

In addition to not needing a guide, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty can even wear a sword to go out - try it for a flat-headed person?

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen has no intention of abolishing the road guidance system now, so it is naturally impossible to have the kind of grand scene as the Spring Festival in later generations.

According to the current Ming national conditions, the only people who can take the train are those businessmen who can get road guides without bad money, and the rest are the people in the two systems of the government and the military, as well as those who are famous scholars.

And as time moves forward little by little, Emperor Chongzhen's re-energized social studies will definitely get better and better, and then there will be more and more readers, and there will naturally be more and more people who can get the fame of showing talent.

Even in the future, lifting people will become worthless.

Starting a pilot passenger transport business from these people, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it?

Hong Chengchou obviously understood this, and immediately bowed down and said, "Wechen will discuss this matter with your colleagues, and then report it to Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and continued: "In addition, how do you think Hong Aiqing will recruit some people from the Ming Dynasty to build the railway?" ”

it! The emperor is crazy!

Hong Chengchou's first reaction was that Emperor Chongzhen began to go crazy again.

Now that there are so many barbarians building railways, your old man is still not satisfied, and he plans to recruit people to build railways?

How many barbarians have died on this railway, Your Majesty, do you really have a little count in your heart? Is it that Weichen exhausted these 400,000 Tatar barbarians to death in a month, so that your old man can understand?

Or do you want to learn from His Majesty Yang Er? Aren't you afraid that when the railway is built to Yangzhou, you will hang there?

It is foreseeable that if Emperor Chongzhen really intends to consume the people's power like building a canal to His Majesty Yang Er, even if he has a good reputation among the people, he will not be able to withstand such consumption!

When the time comes, we will wait for the chaos in the world, and the smoke and dust of the thirty-six anti-king and seventy-two roads will rise!

Especially twelve years before Chongzhen, which year did he not fight? What year did not have a natural disaster? What is the situation in your own country, and you still have a little bit in mind?

After thinking about it, Hong Chengchou bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, now that my disaster has just decreased, and the people are also recuperating, I am afraid that it is not suitable to recruit the people at this time, right?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen said curiously: "Why is it not suitable?" I did not intend to recruit the people in vain, but to let the people build the railroad when they were not working.

When the time comes, the government will pay wages according to the market price, the people will make money, and the speed of railway construction will be improved. ”

Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no problem if it is only to get the people to voluntarily participate in the construction of the railroad and then pay the wages during the slack time.

I'm afraid that Emperor Chongzhen thinks that the railway is too slow, and he will have to recruit a large number of people to serve in the conscription when he pats his head, and it will be strange if he doesn't make a big mess in the world when the time comes!

Emperor Chongzhen then asked: "Didn't there be a few sections of the railway that used this method before?" Isn't it being used now? According to common sense, if there are people building together, the speed should be much faster, right? ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Your Majesty, this method is also being used now, but the progress is not satisfactory." ”

Emperor Chongzhen was very curious - the people of the Ming Dynasty were the people of the Celestial Empire in later generations, and it was absolutely no problem to bear hardships and stand hard work, how could the speed of the infrastructure madman doing the construction site be unsatisfactory?

Hong Chengchou said with a wry smile: "In the name of making the people serve as servants, the local government sent the people to the construction site to mix up the wages of the workers, and those Japanese slave supervisors did not dare to take care of it.

If the barbarians had been replaced, the whips in the hands of these wouldn't have been drawn up a long time ago, but in the face of these Ming people who served as servants, the wouldn't even dare to ask, and the progress would naturally slow down. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was a little puzzled: "Could it be that these people are messing around, and they are allowed to mix like this on the construction site?" ”

Hong Chengchou said: "This can only be the case now." After all, it is a conscription, and the wages given are very small, which is better than nothing, and there are local officials to protect the people, so let's mess around, and the main ones who do the work are those barbarians. ”

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "This is wrong. No wonder these barbarians die so quickly, it's always not enough, it turns out that the root is here. ”

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I originally meant that the people of the Ming Dynasty would rely on those non-dangerous construction sites to make money, and let the barbarians fill the dangerous areas with their lives, but I didn't want to make it like this. ”

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he immediately sweated profusely - not only the Ministry of Railways, but also other yamen such as the Ministry of Industry, were all holding barbarians as consumables!

If this is really investigated, the Ministry of Railways will make a bad start, and then by the way, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Communications, and the Shaofu will all go astray!

Without waiting for Hong Chengchou to plead guilty, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I have long planned to abolish the forced labor, and it seems that it will be implemented as soon as possible. ”

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply ordered: "Chuan Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou come to see me." ”

It was only after Wang Chengen received the order to instruct the little eunuch to pass on Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou that Emperor Chongzhen continued: "After the abolition of conscription, the railway road can be re-recruited by the local government to work, and the wages are calculated according to the progress and the amount of work, which is nothing more than a matter of sending a few more officials." ”

Hong Chengchou bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise. ”

In the past, those people who went out of the conscription were living on the construction site, one was for wages, and the other was to finish the days of conscription, so it was naturally impossible to work hard, and the progress was naturally not fast.

But if the way Emperor Chongzhen said was used to recruit the people to work, it would surely speed up the progress of railway construction by a lot!

If the abolition of conscription is not abolished, it is not something that he can manage as the secretary of the Ministry of Railways, so naturally Wen Shoufu and Guo Shangshu will accompany His Majesty to have a headache.

When Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou, who came in a hurry, learned that Emperor Chongzhen was going to abolish forced labor, their first reaction was that the emperor was doing something, or that the emperor had made a decision again!

Is it a good thing to abolish forced labor? Definitely!

"Han Feizi Beinei": If there is less servitude, the people will be safe, and if the people are safe, there will be no power, and if there is no power, the power will be destroyed, and if the power is destroyed, the virtue will be on top.

Everyone knows that the people can be safe with a light endowment!

The Ming Dynasty is divided into three kinds of servitude, one is the Lijia service, which is the affairs of one mile, the second is the average service, that is, the regular service of the government, and the third is miscellaneous, which is all the errands sent temporarily.

And it's all gratuitous! The government won't pay a penny!

In particular, the conscription can be compulsory, once it comes to the urgent construction of river embankments or something, is it convenient to hire people temporarily or directly to levy people to work compulsorily?

But this is not the case for Emperor Chongzhen.

Since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, the conscription has changed a lot, including paying wages, and even paying according to the wages in the market.

But the thinking of the people has not changed for a while, and even if they can get paid, they still think that these jobs are done by themselves, and they are lazy if they can be lazy.

This is well known to the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty.

But in response to that sentence, don't hide it, anyway, if the people take the benefits, their official reputation will be good, and if the official reputation is good, there will be extra points in the Beijing inspection assessment, and the chance of promotion will be great, so why bother to find yourself unhappy in this kind of trivial matter?

And the angle of standing is different, and the way of looking at the problem is also different.

For Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou, now that Emperor Chongzhen has decided to abolish the conscription, what should he do if it involves issues such as river embankments and tombs in the future?

Could it be that the mausoleum of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was not built by the Shaofu levy and forced labor, but was built by hired laborers?

It hurts to think about it!

Emperor Chongzhen scoffed at these reasons: "The people now are spoiled, and most of the people who are really forced to work are letting those laborers work, and the people are just fiddling with a few symbolic strokes, who is this fooling?"

Yes, my Ming Dynasty is not short of money now, whether it is the treasury or the internal treasury, there is a lot of silver in it, and it has to be taken care of often so that it will not rust, but it is not a waste like this!

After the abolition of forced labor, in the future, the people will be paid according to their work when they work again, and they will naturally get more if they do more, and they will take less if they do less, which is very fair! ”

Wen Tiren bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Your Majesty is reasonable, but it is too one-sided.

Whether it is the construction of railways or other light forced labor, it is natural for His Majesty to abolish it, but it is also necessary for His Majesty to abolish such forced labor as tombs and river embankments? ”

Emperor Chongzhen, who was just thinking about how to improve the enthusiasm of the people to work, also hesitated - the tomb and the river embankment are both dangerous, and if these conscripts are really abolished at that time, it is really hard to say whether the people are willing to do these two jobs!

Especially for other tasks that may involve dangerous work, it is likely that there will be no people to do it, and you will have to rely on those barbarians!

It's okay when I'm alive, and even my son's time should be fine, but what about when Daming really unifies this blue star?

What should we do when one day, when there are no more brutes? Who's going to do the work?

After hesitating for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said: "The conscription of the river embankment will be handed over to the local guard!"

As for my mausoleum, I will talk about it later, either the Shaofu will pay for the people, or the Shaofu will levy the guards.

In short, abolish all forced labor and recuperate with the people! ”

Is the Three Gorges Project in the future dangerous? No, there is still no forced people to work! Why can't Da Ming?

Don't talk about excavators and advanced technology means, Daming does not have a project as big as the Three Gorges!

As for others, such as the Yellow River embankment and disaster relief, it should have been the duty of the health center, so why should the people do it?

There is also his own mausoleum, which is a problem that Shaofu should study, not the free and unpaid labor that the people should do!

After Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou glanced at each other, they had to bow down and say, "Your Majesty is merciful!" ”

Don't persuade! What do you love!

An emperor like Chongzhen can't be persuaded, don't care about everything, he just pat his head and decide, and he can't persuade him!

Besides, the abolition of forced labor can be regarded as the first benevolent government in the ages, and it is even more benevolent than the previous Never Endowment!

What is going on with never adding endowment, standing in the position of Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou, he naturally sees it clearly, and he also knows the twists and turns.

But the abolition of forced labor was a different story, which meant that the people had no free labor left except for their own farming and taking care of their own household affairs!

According to Emperor Chongzhen's temperament, if he said that he wanted to hire people to pay for wages, then he must be paid, and if he said that he didn't do a good job, he would definitely give less money, and the enthusiasm of the people to work would indeed be improved.

Not to mention a few other aspects, just the acceleration of the progress of the railway construction project, I don't know how much benefit it can bring to Daming!
