readx;?“ It's so small! ”

Zhu Guoxiong, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, walked into a terraced house that had just been built and had not yet been sold, and his brows were slightly frowned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ\..

It was a 300-square-foot house, almost 28 square feet (the metric system had not yet appeared). There was no living room, dining room, or bedroom, just one room - the kitchen and bathroom were shared, and there was no gas or running water, both of which were new and had just appeared in China. However, drainage pipes have been built, and drainage systems have been built in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island for a long time, and these terraced houses only need to connect the drainage pipes to the main pipes.

Zhu Guojie heard his younger brother's comment and grinned, "Second brother, you can't compare your Prince's East Palace with here." This 300-square-foot house is bigger than my dormitory at Eton College. A family of five or six can finally squeeze in. Most importantly, the 300 square feet is a property. Those who have constant birth have perseverance...... Only when all Hong Kong residents have an industry will they truly regard Hong Kong as their home and truly build Hong Kong with their hearts. ”

Zhu Guoxiong nodded, he just said it in passing. He, the crown prince, also has a dormitory in Jeseki University, which is not more than 300 square feet in size. He said with some emotion: "Big brother has a point. On the same day, after the father and emperor raised troops to recover Guangfu, he distributed land to the soldiers under his command, and after they had the land, they really worked with my Ming Dynasty, and they must work with the Manchu Qing to the end. Later, when my father opened up the Northeast, he also distributed the land to collective farms, so that each farmer had a share of the industry. In this way, they will fight with their lives to protect their families and defend the country! ”

Talking. Zhu Guoxiong walked out of the room that made him feel a little depressed. Outside is an open balcony with stairs down and up. These terraced houses are occupied by two or three floors, and the first floor is a common kitchen, sanitary area, many cement sinks and chimneys leading to the roof. In addition, there are a number of wells in the open space outside the terraced houses, which presumably supply water to the residents.

Standing on the balcony, Zhu Guoxiong looked at the house opposite, which was very close. Significantly somewhat crowded. However, the price of 300 silver dollars is indeed cheap enough, and it can be repaid in 20 years, without even interest...... It is 15 yuan a year, which is only a little more than one yuan a month, which is indeed something that ordinary working families can afford - although this crown prince has been mixed in elite circles since he was a child, he is not the kind of "Ming Jun" who grew up in the deep palace and does not even know the approximate price of eggs.

Huangcheng Public School has a course of social practice, and Prince Zhu's classmates also have many children from small nobles, so he has known some things outside the palace since he was a child. And Jishi University is outside the imperial city, and Zhu Guoxiong simply lives on campus like ordinary students. On weekdays, I go to the cafeteria with a lunch box to eat. You also have to buy your own meal tickets. Sometimes I go out to the restaurant with my classmates...... I don't know how much trouble it caused to the imperial guards.

However, this kind of life also makes the prince know the market outside the palace very well. I know how much egg pancakes in Nanjing sell for, and I also know how much ordinary working people can earn a few small dollars a month. I also know that the housing prices in the big cities of the Ming Dynasty are not cheap - of course, they cannot be compared with the Celestial Empire in later generations.

"You can buy a house with more than a dollar a month...... Big brother, you're losing money in this deal, right? Zhu Guoxiong walked down the stairs with his hands behind his back, and Zhu Guojie followed behind his younger brother - he still looked a bit like a monarch!

"Basically, I can save my capital." Zhu Guojie replied with a smile. You can buy a house in Hong Kong with more than one silver dollar a month...... I don't know how I would feel if I let future generations of Hong Kong people know! Zhu Guojie pondered for a while, and said: "Second brother, you and I are both kings, and we are not selling houses. Whether this townhouse is a profit or a loss or a general ledger is still to be calculated. For Brother Yu, as long as Hong Kong can attract people, and people who come to Hong Kong can stay with peace of mind and work hard, they will make money. Twenty-five years ago, Hong Kong was a small fishing village. Not counting Macao, Hong Kong has a population of about 300,000, hundreds of large and small factories, and thousands of Chinese and foreign commercial banks, with a wealth of more than 3 million yuan a year. If Hong Kong can have 3 million people, thousands of factories, and tens of thousands of commercial banks in the future, it is possible to earn 30 million yuan a year. ”

Zhu Guojie and Grand Duke Zhu's words made the patriotic businessmen on Hong Kong Island in later generations faint when they heard it. A real estate island, I don't know how many trillions of output value, was lost by him, a self-righteous duke. It's really unbelievable to turn a real estate island into Zhujiapo!

At this time, the brothers had already arrived downstairs, and Zhu Guoxiong looked at his brother with appreciation, as if he had discovered something very beneficial to him from him. Now Zhu Jishi is promoting "100 acres of farm plus urbanization". In the future, 300 million peasants will enter the city in Han alone, and it is a big deal for so many people to live in the city! You can't live in a factory dormitory forever, right? Moreover, Chinese people like industry, and with constant production can they be at ease, and it is easy to rule when they have peace of mind. If 300 million people couldn't even live in terraced houses like Hong Kong, would the country be peaceful? The Chartist movement in Britain and the revolution of 1848 in Europe will probably be staged on the land of the Ming Dynasty sooner or later, right? No, the Ming Dynasty will also learn from Hong Kong in the future, build more terraced houses and sell them to the working class at low prices. Well, you have to settle it all down......

……

Zhu Guoxiong thought about the time to settle down. Alexander II of Russia was talking the same thing to his son, Crown Prince Nicholas.

"Nicholas, you must remember in the future that Eastern Rome, the foundation of the Russian Empire, was none other than the peasantry! The Russian peasants were the cornerstone of the empire, and the empire must keep them firmly under control. They cannot be truly free. Nor can they be left without land to plant! Otherwise, our empire will fall apart...... Therefore, the practice of dismantling collective farms and engaging in family farms, as in the Ming Empire, will not work in Russia. Moreover, I think that sooner or later the Ming Empire will also suffer, this is almost certain! ”

The Tsar and his son were discussing the Russian peasant question in Caesar's Palace in Constantinople - Tsar Alexander II was of course very concerned about the peasants, like a kind ...... Father! Well, the Russians have always called the tsar father, and the empress mother. And Alexander II could have been a good father who really cared about the lives of "children". Unlike his opponent Zhu Jishi, who never took the common people to heart, he knew how to create the bourgeoisie, win over the bourgeoisie and take the capitalist road. It's an out-and-out capitalist roader!

"Father, do you think there is a possibility of a revolution in the Ming Empire in the future?" Crown Prince Nikolai asked with interest.

The tsar threw a secret message from the Russian embassy on his desk and said with a smile: "This possibility is very great! Zhu Jishi did not pay much attention to the Chinese peasants...... Not only did he gradually dissolve the existing collective farms and turn them into family farms. It is also planned to implement the same system in the Ming Dynasty (referring to the 18 provinces of the Han Dynasty). Prepare to support about 10 million family farms, gradually concentrate the arable land of the Han land in the hands of these farms, and drive up to 300 million peasants into the cities and turn them into proletarians! Isn't this digging your own grave? Maybe nothing will happen to Zhu Jishi when he is alive, but after his death, the Ming Empire will definitely fall apart. Because this empire is a country without a solid foundation. ”

"Can kulaks become the basis?" Crown Prince Nikolai was a little unsure. "There could be about 200 million rich peasants, and a few million more bourgeoisie. I suppose they could be the basis of the empire, right? ”

"No, the bourgeoisie cannot be the foundation." The tsar sneered, "Nikolai, you must be wary of these people. As for the kulaks...... Well, they might be the foundation. But they could not stop the waves set off by more landless proletarians. Many countries in Europe have suffered similar hardships, and the Ming Empire will not escape this catastrophe!
