381: New capital opened

Now is far from the high-paced era of the later generations, and there are no local enterprises in Nanyang, so the people are no different from usual. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Half a month later, the ashes of 27 martyrs in Nanyang City were carried into Nanyang by three military trucks, all of which came from the capital and were the latest test models.

On both sides of the truck, there were soldiers, and in the middle were the urns of 27 martyrs, which were uniformly made in the capital and covered with red national flags.

Hundreds of officials and tens of thousands of people in Nanyang City came to greet them, and after a series of persuasions, the families of these 27 martyrs finally agreed to bury them in the city's martyrs' cemetery.

Because the preparations have been made in advance, the cemetery and everything have been planned in advance, and the tombstone has been carved, so that the ashes can be buried as soon as they return.

However, the current domestic atmosphere has not completely changed, so these 27 martyrs were not buried on the same day, but first set up a mourning hall in their respective homes, invited someone to blow suona, and the next day, the ashes of these 27 martyrs were buried.

For those who travel far away, the burial ceremony can only be carried out on the third day.

The funeral was held very beautifully, the Nanyang garrison sent a company of troops to participate in the ceremony, and even the brigade commander of a certain brigade of the garrison was personally present, and added a handful of soil for each of them, and each one was buried, and the salute soldiers fired three shots to carry out a complete set of military ceremonies.

A black-and-white photo, the slightly immature face appeared on it, a small Cao was dug out of the tombstone, the photo can be put in, the military spent a lot of money to formulate a batch of glass, put the photo in the glass, and then inlaid into the tombstone, so that their portrait will never fade.

The inscription on the tombstone is not complicated, what is the tomb in the middle, the left side is the name of the parents, the number of the unit where he was alive, and the right side is the life resume, on which there is only the year of birth, the position, and the place of death. At the top of the tombstone is the emperor's handwriting copied by the craftsmen, immortal.

In the plan, the newly built ancestral hall will contain more relics of these martyrs, it is unlikely that everyone will have a rifle or something, most of those equipment are new, and it is not safe to put them in the ancestral hall, but there should be something, that is not less at all.

Among them was a rifle with the firing pin removed, a bayonet, a helmet, a military uniform, military boots, a tactical vest, an armed belt, a model of a grenade, and so on, but all their personal equipment was sent back this time.

Of course, what they can't know is that Wang Sirui has sent someone abroad to contact, and they want to buy the latest wax technology, each of these fallen soldiers will have his own wax figure, and each wax figure will make two, one will be placed in the cemetery, and the other will be placed in the newly planned Royal Army Memorial Hall in Zhongjing.

But these are all later words, more than 1,000 people died, this number is not unacceptable, throughout the ages, but whenever a foreign enemy invades, which dynasty has achieved victory with such casualties?

No!

But Wang Sirui is far from satisfied, he always wants to do his best, so that the soldiers can reduce more casualties as much as possible, so that more people can survive.

The dead have died forever, and those who are alive are the top priority of the current task, compared to those soldiers who died in battle, the soldiers who retired due to injuries are the most headache for the empire.

As long as one is not handled well, a series of problems will erupt in the follow-up, and even to a certain extent, those soldiers who retire due to injuries will suffer more than those who die in battle.

The subsidies they can receive are far less than those of the fallen soldiers, and after they come back, the state will no longer care about their food and shelter in a short period of time, and most of those who can retire due to injuries are either disabled or have other problems, and they are no longer normal people, so how can they compete with those normal people for the already scarce jobs?

In the end, Wang Sirui came up with a set of invalids system, that is, each city set up a invalids institute, which was under the jurisdiction of local governments, and those soldiers who retired due to injuries were all arranged into the invalids, and their task was to help propagate the army, to help the armed forces office recruit, and most importantly, to be responsible for the welfare of the survivors of martyrs in the future, the invalides will be responsible.

And those soldiers who have returned from retirement will also be turned into employees of the Invalides, although they are not civil servants, but they are also contract workers, and the salary they get can also support their families.

Of course, what Wang Sirui didn't expect was that as the prestige of the imperial army gradually took root in the hearts of the people, those soldiers who retired due to injuries became fragrant and sweet, and many people were vying to marry the girl to them, which was very similar to a certain period in later generations.

It's not deliberate, but the spontaneous behavior of the people, they think that the soldiers are working the front line and come back from injury, so they, the girls who stay in the rear and want to be stable, have the obligation to take care of them for a lifetime, so, under this wave of thought, the most worrying about getting married at that time is the soldier, and the lack of arms and legs is not a matter at all.

The matter of the martyrs' return to their hometowns, along with the media reports, also caused quite a stir in the country, and the newspapers, for the first time, through official omissions, the specific situation of the Korean War, of course, did not report on the issues involving secrets, but focused on the number of casualties of the troops, the number of enemy casualties, and the intensity of some battles, and so on.

Although this era is not the high-paced era of later generations, there are many things that are the same, when a big news comes out, people tend to forget the last news they paid the most attention to.

After three consecutive days of reporting, the communiqué in Shanghai suddenly broke out a piece of shocking news, which basically broke the news of the expansion of the empire's industry.

Martyrs are patriotic feelings, which can move them and respect them.

But industry is related to their quality of life, so for a while, the topic of this round of industrial expansion was talked about everywhere in China.

With the revelations of the communiqué, more and more wealthy people have begun to pay attention to this aspect, and have frequently contacted local governments.

Then, from time to time, it will be revealed how many new factories will be built in a certain place, how many jobs will be provided, and so on.

In the blink of an eye, the time came to May, and with the busy work of tens of thousands of workers, Wang Sirui quietly arrived in the new capital Zhongjing and lived in the new palace.

Although it is not as grand as the imperial palace in Beiping, and the scale is not large, Wang Sirui does not feel the slightest discomfort when he lives here. The cost of the entire imperial palace is less than one percent of the Forbidden City, and the overall cost of the entire new capital is only 20 million taels of silver.

Perhaps, it does seem like a lot, but it needs to be taken into account that the entire state institutions have been moved, and there are more than 50,000 employees alone, and if you include your families, the relocation of the new capital involves about 300,000 to 400,000 people.

The average cost of each person is about 70 taels, but this account cannot be calculated in this way, this money also needs to build the office space of the highest department in more than 10 countries, as well as the office space of some auxiliary departments, plus the residential space of hundreds of thousands of people, etc., so this money is not much, but a little less.

If Wang Sirui hadn't taken advantage of the emperor's privileges, the amount of money spent so far would have been at least three times more than this.

After coming to Zhongjing, Wang Sirui couldn't help but sigh, it's better to be an emperor.

Think about it, at the beginning of the founding of the Republic, how big of a problem did it encounter when implementing land reform? Even if the government wants to acquire a piece of land, it will take a lot of effort to negotiate.

Look at the present, the entire Zhongjing East is connected to Kaifeng, west of Gong County, north to the Yellow River, south to Xinzheng, of course, this is only the division of administrative regions, which means that this piece of land is under the jurisdiction of Zhongjing, the emperor has spoken, and your local government can only give it up.

What really made Wang Sirui feel the benefits of being an emperor was that the entire state institution covered an area of ten square kilometers, and the price of obtaining these ten square kilometers was a holy decree.

What if you are a landlord? What if your landlord bought this land? The biggest advantage of the imperial system is that you can play as much as the people below you like, but as long as the emperor gives an order, even if it is something you spend money on, you will give it to the emperor, because logically speaking, everything in this country belongs to the emperor, and if you want your life, you have to take it, and you can't resist.

But now Wang Sirui is pushing the rule of law society, so things are not so desperate, the holy decree is indeed given, maybe the promise to relocate the people to resettle the cost, the homestead of each family, the land has also been measured, the old tomb has also been moved to a new place, but the emperor gave a blank check, in addition to the land.

The land is to take back the land in the jurisdiction, give a small amount of compensation, and then replace it at 1:1.5 to the people or landlords who relocate, and then give a small amount of settling-in money, which can ensure that they will build a new home, but count on this fortune, or don't dream.

The empire would compensate each family with one hundred taels of silver, but they would have to wait until five years later before they could take the money, and the money would have to be divided into five years, and each year could only get twenty taels of silver.

How can ordinary people have the courage to resist? Moreover, it was an order given by the emperor himself, and a solution was given, that is, they joined forces to sue, and they could not win, which was completely different from the previous Li Xiucai sue the imperial government, and no one wanted to be this up-and-coming bird.

At the end of May, half a month after moving to Zhongjing, Emperor Wang Sirui announced the official opening of the new capital.
