Chapter 1257: The Responsibility of Children and Grandchildren
Li Hongzhang said there eloquently, Zhu Jishi just listened quietly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info,,. The difficulties of the Han countryside are not a day or two. Those closer to the industrial and commercial centers were better, where the peasants were more open-minded and many emigrated or moved into the cities. Even those who remain in the countryside have switched to cash crops, vegetables or animal husbandry. Therefore, there are really a lot of people who have made a fortune, and it is not difficult at all. The real suffering is the economically underdeveloped and inconvenient transportation of the inland provinces - the current situation is somewhat similar to the history of the first ten years of reform and opening up. The southeast coast is developing rapidly, but the interior is a little sluggish.
However, the delay in the interior is not a reason to claim protection. Because protection alone cannot protect a strong industry. Now that most of the period of agricultural protection in the DPRK has passed, everything is still the same. It is estimated that in a few years, the parliamentary government will have to write again to ask for further protection. In contrast, Japan's agriculture, which has little protection, has adjusted relatively quickly. Cash crops include sugar beets and fruits, and the marine fishing industry is also developing rapidly. Ezo Island also attracted the capital of merchants, and nearly 5 million acres of arable land were reclaimed.
However, the adjustment of the agricultural structure in the interior will indeed cause great pain -- the cabinet and the industrial promotion association have discussed the plan of 12 million 100-acre farms for a long time without coming up with a final implementation plan, isn't it because everyone is not sure that Daming's towns, industry and commerce will absorb 300 million people in the next few decades? Honestly, that's a scary number. There are 300 million urban dwellers, and now the whole of Europe does not know if there is a 100 million urban population! But if it does not develop in this direction, where is the way out for the economy of the Ming and Han dynasties? The land is only 1.2 billion mu, and it is not enough to carry 100 million rural people. If it carries 400 million rural people. There are only 3 acres of land per capita. What does it take to do it well? Think of these. Emperor Zhu was very lucky about the time he had crossed. If you miss this era of imperialist expansion. In the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, there is really no way to do it.
Looking at Li Hongzhang's compassionate expression, Zhu Jishi also sighed softly, and took the fold from Hong Kong from the table that the crown prince Zhu Guoxiong sent from Hong Kong a few days ago. It was the secret fold that suggested that Hong Kong should emulate the Hong Kong terrace house system and build houses in big cities to help the proletarians buy homes – and the crown prince also suggested that Hong Kong's strict laws and clean government system should be implemented in the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Zhu didn't dare to show it to others, this matter was too offensive......
Weng Tongyi took the fold and handed it to Li Hongzhang with both hands, and Li Hongzhang unfolded it. The originally slightly frowning brow suddenly stretched a lot. "Your Majesty, the crown prince has a benevolent heart, which is the blessing of the country."
Kind? Zhu Jishixin said, that fat boy also went to the secret fold to severely punish corrupt officials - you Li Hongzhang has not made less money in the Kazakh Khanate all these years, right? If you want to do what the fat boy wants, I'm going to have to pull you out and click!
"The prince has some benevolence." Zhu Jishi nodded solemnly and said with a smile, "Li Qing, do you also think the prince's opinion is feasible?" ”
"Yes! That's the way to go. Li Hongzhang said without thinking. At present, there is no powerful real estate developer group that controls the politics of the Ming Empire, so it is impossible for Prime Minister Li Dacheng to endorse real estate developers. And even if there is a real estate developer, he will not target the proletariat who can only have enough food and clothing. The houses bought and sold in the real estate market in the Ming Dynasty will be able to become luxury homes in later generations – and later generations of Li Jiapo can develop HDB flats, a housing supply model that is clearly not in line with the principles of the market economy. It probably has something to do with the fact that Singapore's real estate market didn't take off at all in the 1960s.
"Your Majesty, when the court and the central government were preparing the "Farm Promotion Law", it was estimated that 30,000 peasants would enter the Han cities in the future. How can so many people have no permanent place to live? The minister made a hasty calculation just now. If you count as a family of five, 30,000 people should have 60 million homes, and 60 million townhouses need to be built, and a townhouse will cost 300 yuan, which is a total of 18 billion yuan! If you add roads, schools, hospitals, markets, shops and other projects. Together, I am afraid that it will cost 30 billion yuan, which is really a big deal. If it is done well, it will form a huge promotion for my Ming industry. ”
When Li Hongzhang said this, he stopped his voice and looked at Emperor Zhu with burning eyes. The role of large-scale construction in stimulating the economy is all too clear to him, an official who served as the prime minister of the Kazakh Khanate. It's just that the investment of 30 billion silver dollars sounds really big.
Not to mention 30 billion! Zhu Jishi squinted his eyes and thought. 30,000 people go to the city, and if it is a big city with 1 million people, you need to build as many as 300! That's more than all the megacities of the world with a population of one million people combined! In the future of New China, if the urban population in the 21st century is calculated according to the household registration, it may not be 30,000! The demand generated by such a wave of urbanization is absolutely astronomical, I am afraid that 300 billion is there. And it's a long-term and sustained demand...... Because this process will last for at least several decades, I will not see the day when urban agglomerations are all over the Ming and Han dynasties in my life. Fat Boy has been able to accomplish this great cause in his lifetime, which is decades ahead of history.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jishi set his eyes on Weng Tongyi, the military advisor, which was soliciting opinions. This is a huge project that will last for decades at least tens of billions, and it cannot be decided casually with a pat on the head, and many parties can only be implemented after soliciting opinions.
"Your Majesty, 10,000 townhouses can win the hearts of 30,000 people." Weng Tongyi's tone was light, "The minister suggested that this matter be entrusted to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”
This is to let Zhu Guoxiong win the hearts of the world! Li Hongzhang's face on the side changed slightly, and the corner of his eyes swept Weng Tongyi. This gentleman is good at figuring out the sacred heart, which is well known in officialdom, and now he actually proposes to help the crown prince to take his heart, is there really no suspicion between the emperor and the crown prince? This is really rare since ancient times......
"Weng Qingguo is my minister." Emperor Zhu clapped his hands and laughed, his face full of joy.
It turned out that he had only calculated the economic account before, forgetting that there was also a political account. This is not the 21st century, when democracy and freedom have been completely bankrupt, but the 19th century, when the wind of democracy and freedom has just blown. Isn't the most feared thing for the reactionary monarchs of the world that their dynasty will not be able to survive? Zhu Jishi knows that his prestige is extremely high, what kind of generation is Tianjiao, the first emperor through the ages. As long as he continues to be angry, the Ming Dynasty will be as safe as Mount Tai. But there must be the kind of guy who thinks "he can take his place" and is waiting for the day when "the first emperor collapses". When the time comes, will Zhu Guoxiong be able to control the field? Also, if I live a long life, the time when I braided my hair will probably be after 1900. It was the beginning of a great era! How many heroes were born in that era, how could they be able to control the scene if they didn't have a certain prestige?
"The townhouse is a good governance that wins the hearts of the people, and those who win the hearts of the people since ancient times win the world, and such good governance can only be done by letting the crown prince come." Zhu Jishi stood up from behind his desk, pacing back and forth excitedly in the imperial study, waving his arms vigorously. "Moreover, the 300-foot (sq ft) terrace house is just the beginning, and there is much room for improvement in the future. Second, third, and fourth generation terraced houses will also be built. My children and grandchildren will take this responsibility! ”
Speaking of which, the word "Li Jiapo" suddenly appeared in Zhu Jishi's mind. Now he understands why Li Dapo wants to carry out this HDB flat policy that seriously affects GDP. Compared with the country, which has been passed down from generation to generation, the GDP of real estate is a fart! And the situation of his own Zhu Ming Dynasty is more sinister than that of Lord Li Po and his family, I don't know how many times. If the Li family can't get along, they can still run away to Britain and the United States, if their Ming Empire is red, the British Emperor and the French Emperor may not be able to withstand it! Maybe it's really a world revolution. When the time comes, won't their children and grandchildren have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth? For the sake of future generations, this responsibility must be borne no matter what! (To be continued.) )
