readx;?“ Your Majesty, this is the latest townhouse area, called Xuanwu New District, plans to build 10,000 five-story townhouses, each of which can live in 60 households, and the area of each townhouse (the usable area in the suite) has reached 50 square meters, including the land price, the total cost of each townhouse can be controlled within 300 yuan, which is completely affordable for ordinary families of three. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In addition, the construction of roads, light rail railways, commercial areas, schools, hospitals and sewers in Xuanwu District will also start construction at the same time, and the total investment of the entire Xuanwu District development project will be as high as 310 million yuan, which is planned to be completed within six years......"

Emperor Xuanwu, who had already reached an agreement with Zhu Jishi on the future arrangements for the Americas, had returned to the Forbidden City at this time, and was standing at the map table with his hands behind his back, but what was unfolding on the map table was not a military map or a map of the world situation, but a huge map of the construction of Yingtianfu City. Yuan Shikai, the newly elected prefect of Yingtian, was holding a whip and introducing Zhu Guoxiong's latest urban construction plan.

"10,000 houses, 60 households living in one house, that's 600,000 households! There are so many people? ”

"Yes, there are now as many as 250,000 households registered in Tianfu to apply for terraced houses, and another 100,000 households will be added every year, and when the Xuanwu District is completed, it is estimated that it will not be enough to allocate."

Zhu Guoxiong sighed softly, he knew that what Yuan Shikai said was the truth, and he didn't know what was going on in the past few years, and the population of the Ming Dynasty began to concentrate in the big cities. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people pour into the five prefectures of Yingtian, Shanghai, Tianjin, Guangzhou, and Wuhan. Coupled with the multiplication of the people in these five prefectures, the rapid growth rate of the household registration in the five prefectures has reached a jaw-dropping level.

And with it. In addition to the issue of employment. There are three major problems: housing, education, and health care. However, the Ming court never had the idea of bringing these three major problems to the market. Using the method of industrialization to turn it from a burden on the government into a pillar industry with rolling financial resources -- in fact, it is not that the Chinese in the 19th century were stupid, but that the internal and external conditions of the Ming Empire did not allow the Zhu Guoxiong authorities to do so.

At present, the Ming Dynasty has the Socialist Party and the Popular Opinion Party to lead the Ming Dynasty to the road of socialism by legal and illegal means. Outside, there are five great Chinese countries in Donghua, Beihua, Nanhua, Xihua, and New Japan that are opening their doors to recruit Ming immigrants! Now the Chinese states other than the Ming Empire have as many as 350 million people, equivalent to 50% of the Ming Empire. Moreover, in addition to the Ming Dynasty, the population growth rate of the Chinese countries has been far ahead of the Ming Dynasty in the past 20 years! The population of the Ming Dynasty only increased by about 100 million in the more than 20 years after the World War, while the population of other Chinese countries increased by a full 200 million!

If this trend continues, in another twenty or thirty years, the total population of the Chinese countries is likely to exceed that of the Ming Dynasty! At that time, the position of the Ming Dynasty to lead the Great Chinese Empire will be seriously challenged!

"How many accounts does Ying Tian have now?"

"The household is 6.21 million, and the population is 22.55 million (the jurisdiction of Yingtianfu is much larger than the city of Nanjing in later generations)." Yuan Shikai replied without thinking. As the elected prefect of Yingtian, the latest population data of the area under his jurisdiction must be kept in mind at all times. Otherwise, they made a mistake in answering a reporter's question or in a parliamentary debate. This is not a little bit of a foreign appearance.

"More than 20 million...... Beihua is only in the early 10 million! Zhu Guoxiong shook his head, "Why did the population come to Yingtian?" I have 20 million square kilometers of land in the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Your Majesty, in recent years, the peasants have been bankrupt and unemployed, and they have no support in the township, so they can only go to the big cities to beg for a living, and now not only the five major cities, but also the provincial capitals of Han are also overcrowded." Yuan Shikai replied expressionlessly. This is a headache, and the three parties in the parliament, the youth, Donglin, and the Socialist Party often blame each other for the growing decline in the countryside. However, accusations have come and gone, and the ruling party has changed several times, but there is still no way at all.

Because of the withering of the countryside of the Ming and Han dynasties. In fact, it is the result of the market adjustment of the division of labor among various countries after the economic integration of the entire Great China Empire. There are many people and little land in the Ming and Han dynasties, and many lands have been cultivated for more than a thousand years. When the land is exhausted, the cost of agriculture is naturally higher than that of North America, Australia and the South Seas.

Similarly, the high concentration of population and industry has made the industrial products produced in the big industrial and commercial cities of the Ming Dynasty extremely competitive, especially the light industrial products have firmly occupied the markets of the Greater China countries.

"Your Majesty, population gathering is not a problem, just build more townhouses and resettle them properly." Zuo Prime Minister Li Hongzhang said in a low voice on the side, "The real trouble is the illegal activities of the Popular People Party and the Socialist Party!" The recent political strikes for universal suffrage in Yingtianfu, Shanghai, and Guangzhou have involved members of the Socialist Party and the National People's Opinion Party. Moreover, Aegis Guard also cracked a revolutionary combat group of the National People's Congress a few days ago, plotting to assassinate high-ranking officials of the imperial court and His Majesty the Emperor, which is really a great rebellion! ”

Daming now also has a popular people's party, of course, it is a semicolon of the Slavic popular people's party, which takes the road of violent revolution and terrorism, hoping to promote the social revolution of Daming by assassinating high-ranking officials and even emperors. However, the assassination came and assassinated the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty, and did not assassinate a few, but folded the revolutionaries of the Chinese People's Opinion Party one by one. Moreover, the law here in Daming is strict, there is nothing to be polite, most of the leaders of the popular people who have been caught have given their lives, and the little minions have also been exiled to Siberia.

However, the activities of the Narodnik Party continued, but at a low ebb, and its actions became more bizarre. However, there was not only one socialist party in the Ming Dynasty, but also the Socialist Party in addition to the Popular Opinion Party. The Narodnik Party has followed the path of illegality and terror, relying on beatings, killings, and killings to make revolutions. The Socialist Party, on the other hand, followed the line of legal struggle, with strikes, protests, and elections, and broke the news every once in a while to expose the dark status quo of collusion between officials and businessmen in the Ming political arena. Moreover, after Kang Youwei was elected chairman of the Socialist Party, the party's revelations became even more unscrupulous, which is simply political poison!

The former ruling Al-Shabaab dissolved parliament and held a new general election because it was exposed by the Socialist Party for allegedly illegally accepting political donations. As a result, he was defeated in the election, and the party's chairman, Liang Jingquan, was also investigated on suspicion of illegally accepting donations from a consortium and abusing political funds.

However, the cabinet of the Donglin Party, which replaced the Jishi Youth Party, was not grateful for the Socialist Party's revelations - after all, political donations are the biggest "welfare" of politicians in the Ming Empire today, although the "Political Donation Law" passed by the Ming Parliament has many restrictions on the management and use of political funds by politicians, but there are also many loopholes, and all political bigwigs are more or less unclean.

Therefore, after coming to power, the Donglin Party and the opposition Youth Party have now formed an alliance to encircle and suppress the Socialist Party, and they both want to clear this spoiler who holds high the banner of dynastic socialism from the political arena -- and this is also the unanimous demand of the major Ming business groups behind the two parties. More than 50 years after Zhu Ming's revival, the traditional scholarly class no longer existed, and the Daming Donglin Party gradually evolved into a bourgeois party similar to the Jishi Youth Party, representing the interests of the bourgeoisie and intellectuals. And the attitude of the two parties towards the toiling masses is basically the same, that is, exploitation and oppression. Under the joint suppression of these two political parties, the election of the Ming Empire still has a limit on the amount of tax paid, and the vast majority of the working people are excluded from the voters.

Since the end of the First World War, the Chinese Socialist Party has been committed to the struggle for universal suffrage, and has also dressed itself as the spokesman for the working masses. A series of unreasonable demands such as the 8-hour working day, weekly paid rest days, collective contracts, pensions, unemployment benefits, free medical care, minimum wage guarantees, expansion of the area of terraced houses and improvement of the quality of terraced houses were proposed. Strikes and protests are often used as a means to force the authorities to make concessions. Not long ago, the Socialist Party announced that it would hold a mass protest petition at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries!

These behaviors have stepped on the red line of the Ming political arena, and the Donglin Party, the Youth Party and some chaebols naturally want to sound the alarm for the Socialist Party.

"Li Qing, those who are rebellious have their own judicial decisions...... However, the strikes and protests organized by the Socialist Party are difficult to suppress with justice. Zhu Guoxiong glanced coldly at Zhang Zhidong, the left minister of the cabinet.

How could he not understand what Zhang Zhidong's purpose was in putting the terrorist activities of the People's Voratum and the strike protests of the Socialist Party together -- although many of the activities of the Socialist Party were also illegal, there was a severity of the violation, and an illegal assembly in front of the Imperial City Square was not the same thing as dropping a bomb at the car of a high-ranking Ming official! The latter can be sentenced to death if caught, while the former is extremely difficult to judicially sanction.

On the one hand, petitioning and protesting was originally the political right of Ming citizens, and there was also a petition bell outside the Forbidden City, which was ringed for Ming citizens. In the past, even if there were radical words and deeds in the process of protesting and petitioning, they would not be severely punished. As for the two charges of organizing a protest without permission and obstructing traffic, it is a bit troublesome for individuals, but it is not a matter for political parties -- according to the relevant laws of the Ming Dynasty, all demonstrations and protests organized by political parties are responsible for political party legal persons -- at most, fines, public apologies, and resignations of party leaders.

On the other hand, parliamentary constitutionalism is largely practiced. Demonstrations and protests were not a form of political struggle for the Socialist Party, as both the Youth Party and the Donglin Party played this game. Therefore, it is impossible for the Ming parliament to pass a bill to severely punish the organizers of the demonstrations and protests - this kind of bill will be used against itself without knowing when, how can the Ming parliamentarians be so stupid?

And the only way to completely suppress the Socialist Party is to invite the two great gods of Emperor Ming and Emperor Taishang. Then mobilize the power of the consortium, intelligence agencies and military of the royal system to smear the Socialist Party as a terrorist organization like the Narodnaya Volnamento, and then it can be encircled and suppressed with great fanfare. However, judging by the reaction of Emperor Xuanwu of the Ming Dynasty, it is obvious that he does not approve of suppressing the Socialist Party by extraordinary means...... After all, the existence of the Socialist Party is also a constraint on the growing chaebol power in the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued.) )
