Chapter 1169: Very busy Da Ming
This year, Daming was very busy.
The army was busy fighting against Qin, collecting Qingzhou, conquering the tiger prison, defeating the last army that the King of Qin had gathered together with all the old bottoms in one fell swoop, and finally besieging Yongdu and overcoming the entire Qin State, which was already a visible thing.
After taking the entire Qin State, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was more than doubled at once, and the territory of the Qin State was much larger than the original Ming Dynasty. Moreover, these places are also completely usable for Qin Feng. Who says you can't grow crops to feed people in those places? Then we have to see what to plant? Who's in charge!
The merchants of the Ming Dynasty are busy. His Majesty the Emperor said that there is no stability without agriculture, no business is not rich, agriculture is the foundation, and business is the minions. This will greatly elevate the status of businessmen, now in the Ming Kingdom, the status of businessmen is gradually improving, they go south and north, business in the world, created a huge wealth, the income of the Ming Dynasty, now half of the income comes from the income of commercial taxes.
In the foreseeable future, the income of merchants will increase greatly, and the commercial taxes that the state can receive will also increase significantly, so that Qin Feng can reduce the burden imposed on the peasants more drastically. Although the taxes borne by the peasants of the Ming Dynasty are no longer high, in Qin Feng's view, there is still room for further reductions.
Merchants have not only created great wealth, they are now one of the most advantageous minions of the Ming Dynasty to dominate the world, often before the army arrives, the traces of merchants have been the first to appear. They sold their goods, they made money, they drew maps, they provided the Ming with the most detailed geographical maps of the places they visited, they spread the wealth and happiness of the Ming Dynasty, and they used their wealth to lure merchants from other countries one after another to join this network of profits, and then use them for the Ming Dynasty.
And among them, the most typical representative is the Ming Changlong Bank, this private bank, has now become the supreme weapon of the Ming Dynasty to control the Chu State, the role of money, sometimes more sharp than the army, moisturizing things silently, unconsciously eroding the strength of the enemy country, bit by bit seems to be inconspicuous, but it is hollowing out the enemy country at an incomparable speed. A bank secrecy decree has infiltrated the Qi State, which was originally very strict against the Ming Dynasty, into a thousand holes.
Emperor Qi is increasing the severe blow to the domestic gate valve family, and these gate valve families who are the best at cunning rabbit three holes, while desperately entangled their strength to compete with the emperor, on the other hand, a large amount of wealth began to transfer to the Ming Dynasty, and with the help of these actions, the Ming Dynasty skillfully infiltrated the power into the Qi State quietly.
These infiltration, relying on the power of these gate valve families, even the ghosts of the Qi country are beyond the reach of the whip.
Now it is rumored that His Majesty will open the sea ban, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are even more excited. But all the big businessmen who have a bit of identity, who don't know that sea trade is a profitable business, there was no capital before, there was no way, but now, but there is the country's armed forces in front of the way, as long as you can join in, why not worry about making money?
Although the decree has not yet been issued, the big businessmen who have learned the news in advance have begun to sharpen their heads and drill around camps, hoping to extend their footsteps overseas.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty were busy. The rise of the Ming Dynasty was only a few years, with an incomparably sharp military force swept through the former Yue, accepted the territory of the former Yue, the former Ministry of Shangshu Wang Hou's reform of the official governance, like a broom, swept all the officials who did not meet the interests of the Ming State into the garbage heap, and never let them become an obstacle to the Ming Dynasty's stride. However, after the sweep, it was found that the number of officials was too small, and in some places it was even so small that it hindered the normal operation of the localities. This requires one official to do the work of several people, busy with his feet, but happy with it.
The crash course of the Beijing Normal University Hall was held one after another, and batches of accelerated officials were quickly dispatched to the localities. Qin Feng didn't want every official to be an all-rounder, as long as they had a specialty in a certain aspect and could win the position he held. And the kind of commanding officials who can control the overall situation, Qin Feng hopes that they can be selected from these officials in the future, the big waves wash the sand, it is gold, in a place like Daming, they will never be drowned in the sand.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty are desperately trying their best to contribute to the development of the Ming Dynasty, but their growth rate is obviously unable to keep up with the speed of the Ming Dynasty's expansion.
The official department Shangshu Fang Dazhi was in a mess. Too many official hats in your hands are sometimes not a good thing.
The farmers of Daming are also very busy. Spring planting, summer growth, autumn harvest, winter storage, all year round, they are all working hard, all of them feel that they have caught up with the best era, have the best emperor. The peasants' taxes were so low that in the eyes of the old men who had lived long enough, they were unprecedented, even under the rule of the most famous monarchs in history.
The less you need to hand in, the more you get. The more you get, the more you will naturally become richer. With money in your pocket, you will naturally eat better and dress more decently. In the countryside and fields, the scrawny children are gone, and they are all fat and red-faced. The men are spiritual, the women are plump, and in the Ming Dynasty, where there is no nightlife, their most activity is to work hard to have a few more dolls. Having many children and blessings is an experience passed down from the old generation. In the past, I was afraid that I would not be able to support myself, but now I don't have this worry at all.
In the city and in the countryside, you can hear the sound of reading everywhere, and the most common thing you see is the dolls carrying a cloth bag on the way to the school. At least you have to go to primary school, and then you can continue to study smartly, and if you don't have this talent, you will go to farming or become an apprentice, and you will not be blind.
can understand the government's notices, and can calculate the money, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is already a scholar. Moreover, it is not expensive to go to primary school, and only when you go to a higher level of school, you will be charged a certain fee.
Saints in the world! This is the most simple picture of the peasants.
In the past, all kinds of forced labor that they feared the most no longer existed, and in the former Ming Dynasty, sometimes forced labor, but it was really a terrible thing that could bankrupt a well-off family in the blink of an eye. But now, no matter what the government needs people to do, it has to honestly take out money and hire people to do it.
Now the peasants of the Ming Dynasty do not have the word "farming" at all. In previous years, during the slack season, the government would immediately hire a large number of people to build roads, build bridges, build water conservancy, etc., without wasting food at home and get cash every day. What's more, this road construction, bridge construction, and water conservancy construction are beneficial to them, and the government pays for the repair, and they are the ones who benefit.
If you want to get rich, build roads first. According to legend, this golden sentence from the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor has now become the motto of many local officials, and the first thing to do when they arrive at the place is to build roads.
The farmers of Daming feel that they are now falling into a honey pot, and the whole person is full of sweetness from the inside out.
The craftsmen of Daming are very busy. Agriculture is the foundation, business is the minions, and work is the heart. The improvement of the status of craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty far exceeds that of other industries, the most typical is a large number of craftsmen who have made achievements, and now they have become officials, although they wear official robes when it is too little, most of the time, they are still wearing their own straight cloth coats in the front line busy, but no matter what grand activities and banquets there are in that place, the local officials will never forget them, and that is also the time when they can wear formal official robes and appear on many occasions to usher in the send-off. In the past, they were qualified to talk and laugh with these people and eat at the same table, but now, no matter where they go, these people will bow to them with respect.
The craftsmen of Daming are using their hands to really change the country of Daming. With the strong support of Qin Feng, the emperor who attaches great importance to craftsmen, invention and creation and improvement of craftsmanship have become popular among the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. As long as you excel in a certain trade, then you can reach the sky in one step.
If you want to be good at your job, you must first sharpen your tools. Every improvement or improvement of the process, the emergence of every new invention, will push the Ming Dynasty to move forward, with less labor, material resources, harvest more output. Nowadays, the workshops all over the Ming Dynasty have spared no effort in the battle of craftsmen, their income is rising at an incredible speed, and a master craftsman who has made achievements can now get a salary that is no less than that of a master of the dynasty, which is still priceless. The workshops with these craftsmen will never allow these treasures to be poached.
In Daming, studying and becoming an official is no longer the only way for carp to jump the dragon gate.
The entire Ming Dynasty was very busy, even the new places and new people that had just been incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty. When, in the shortest possible time, they figured out the basic policies of the Ming Dynasty, they were carried away by great joy, and happiness came a little unreal, making them feel as if they were dreaming. And after the joy, it is the incomparable strength in the body, I can't wait to throw off my arms and open a big game, with my own hands, for myself, for the family to fight for a happy and beautiful life.
In winter, Daming is like a huge construction site, full of various projects under construction. Because there is now enough labor for the government to employ.
This busyness lasted until the Chinese New Year. But for the Ming people, the annual leave is only a short seven days, and then, they have to devote themselves to the new year.
Daming, who is very busy, during this seven-day holiday,
