On every construction site, there will basically be a few storytellers, and these people have one characteristic, that is, they use guò various stories to render the sage of the current emperor Zhu Youxiao.

The common people like to listen to stories the most, and directly say that the emperor Shengming is very pale and powerless, and using stories to promote the effect is the best.

Such propaganda has had very good results.

After all, the emperor paid for the construction of urban infrastructure, and it turned out that the emperor was oriented towards their poor people. On the contrary, those Donglin Party was greedy and perverted the law, was arrested by the emperor a large number of people, and confiscated millions of taels of family property, who was willing to pay millions of silver to slander others?

The people at the bottom naturally became very popular with Zhu Youxiao, and it can be said that he was constantly praised. Because the emperor's behavior is in line with the interests of the people at the bottom, he is a good emperor in the eyes of the people at the bottom.

But the emperor shook the interests of landlords and merchants, as well as the elites, and in the eyes of these people, Zhu Youxiao was the only one who fainted.

But the number of these people is small after all, and when ordinary people are singing praises to Zhu Youxiao, their voices are drowned in the waves. At this time, they can at most copy some hand-copied newspapers, and they can also BB two sentences.

Soon after, the Donglin Party's sailors were beaten to death by a group of angry people while spreading rumors. The man who was beaten to death, because he openly spread rumors in the tavern and scolded the emperor for being mediocre, did not complain about the Donglin Party, but within a few minutes, he aroused public indignation, and was beaten to death by several people, and was beaten to death in the chaos.

When the arrester arrived at the scene, several civilians who participated in the beating were arrested. But it didn't take long for everyone to be released.

After all, the law does not hold the public accountable, and China at this time is a law enforcement model that pays attention to the law and the law. As long as it makes sense, the law has to give in.

If the law can override reason, isn't it unreasonable for the imperial court?

What is the truth?

The core idea of Taoism is to override the law of 'the law of the jungle' and not to obey this basic law, so it is contrary to the principle to bully the weak. The core of Taoist scholarship is the word 'reverse', which sees through the law and violates the law, so that human beings can be self-dominated, rather than completely dominated.

Westerners do not have Taoist scholarship, so their code of conduct is to follow the law of the jungle, especially in Japan, and it is this idea that is promoted in various anime in later generations.

This is the reason why China is unreasonable with Western countries and Japan, because people don't have reason for this kind of thing, and you reason with them? Isn't this a brain pump?

Since ancient times, China has always put reason first and law last. The law is necessary, but it will impose penalties as appropriate, and some even exempt them.

Someone spread rumors about the emperor and was beaten to death by the angry people, this news is too exciting. At the same time, catch the person back quickly, and immediately release the person like a hot potato.

This man really can't be caught! After all, the guy who was beaten to death spread rumors about the emperor first, and the people supported the emperor before they beat him. No matter what you say, it's all reasonable! The guy who was killed was killed in vain.

In fact, it was a propagandist of Jinyiwei's development who took the lead in beating people.

In the process of this public opinion propaganda, those businessmen who jointly operated with the royal capital also made a lot of efforts, and the teahouses, taverns and other places opened by these businessmen also participated in the propaganda activities.

With the deepening of publicity, some stories promoting the emperor's Shengming were soon adapted into miscellaneous dramas, which were very popular with the people.

In the capital, the rumors of the emperor and the people who scolded the Donglin Party soon disappeared in public places, because they no longer dared to come out to spread rumors.

There are spies from Jinyiwei and Dongchang everywhere, and whoever dares to openly spread rumors is to lead a group of people over to beat them. If you're lucky, just rub some bruise medicine, and it's normal to be killed if you're unlucky.

When those sailors saw this posture, where did they dare to come out to move! If you want to make this money, you have to fight with your life!

On the contrary, it was the spies of Jinyiwei and Dongchang who hyped up the black materials of the Donglin Party, while praising the emperor with the practical things that the emperor did for the people.

The Donglin Party was dumbfounded when they saw it, this situation is not in the right direction! It shouldn't be like this!

But the situation has developed to this point, and the reputation of the Donglin Party is rapidly stinking. On the contrary, the emperor's prestige soared in a straight line.

The difficult livelihood of the people makes the people eager to appear a Ming Lord and Holy Monarch to lead them out of the predicament. And Zhu Youxiao's practical actions, as well as various propaganda methods, have successfully created such a magnificent image in the minds of the people.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao continued to develop monopoly capital.

First of all, the slaughterhouses in the capital were all controlled, and at the same time, several breeding companies were established in partnership with private enterprises. Cao Jinyu was also very active in setting up a breeding company with Zhu Youxiao.

There are a lot of wheat bran and rice bran in the grain store, and it is the most suitable for raising pigs.

All pork supplies in the capital must be purchased from an officially designated slaughterhouse. Because of the intervention of royal capital, the price of pork has directly stabilized at the level of 15 wen a catty. In the Ming Dynasty, because the life of the common people was better than that of the Qing Dynasty and modern times, pork was also lean and more expensive, and the price of a pound of fat meat was about ten yuan.

The purchase price has also stabilized, which also ensures that farmers have money to make.

The most important thing is to expand the scale of production, and wealth is generated through labor. The problem in the north now is that the scale of production is insufficient, and the purchasing power of the common people is also insufficient.

Now expand the scale of production and increase the purchasing power of the people, and the life of the people will be better!

For example, if a sum of money is smashed and the people are allowed to engage in production and construction, then the people can buy goods for consumption when they get the money.

If there is a monopoly on the goods consumed by the common people, then the money can be gradually recovered by the consortium, and then continue to be smashed, providing a large number of jobs again.

In this cycle, jobs go up. And the continuation of construction will also enable the production of commodities to increase and meet the needs of the people.

In the whole process, the consortium didn't actually give anything. The commodities purchased by the common people are the wealth produced by the common people's own labor. A consortium is equivalent to organizing labor force for production, and then extracting a part of the wealth.

For this cycle to continue, monopolies must be increased so that funds do not fall into the hands of high-income groups.

This money is in the hands of the people, as long as it does not leak in large quantities, it is equivalent to the money of the consortium. Because the people want to spend, the money will eventually flow back to the hands of the consortium.

However, there will definitely be a part of the funds that will be earned by the merchants, and this is when the role of taxation comes into play. Taxes allow the flow of funds back.

For a country controlled by a consortium, the money of the state is the money of the consortium, and the money of the consortium can also be the money of the state, but the left hand is changed for the right hand.

The royal capital developed by Zhu Youxiao at this time is developing towards the model of a consortium.

It is necessary to increase monopolies.

At this time, the royal capital was already able to supply grain to the common people, so the next monopoly on the supply of pork, vegetables, and cloth and other commodities would basically form a preliminary and perfect monopoly system.

As a result, Royal Capital quickly embarked on several construction projects, namely the construction of breeding bases in various towns in Beizhili, as well as the construction of vegetable planting bases.

Long-distance trafficking of vegetables in the Ming Dynasty was still very common, but the types of vegetables in the north in winter were relatively simple, and they were basically Chinese cabbage in winter.

It is also possible to monopolize the monopoly of vegetables and only monopolize the market sales channels. However, it is impossible to control the output, and when the farmers suddenly plant a little more, the market cannot digest it, and it will be unsalable.

Employing workers to grow vegetables and monopolizing the sales channels of vegetables in cities and towns has the advantage of stable output and stable price. There will be no vicious competition. This kind of vegetable monopoly does not necessarily make much money, and in the process of vegetable production, workers can be given better treatment, and the price of vegetables can be reduced, anyway, the money is in the hands of ordinary people. This kind of industry, which is related to the lives of ordinary people, does not need to pursue such high profits in the process of operation. The price increase can only be carried out when the income of the common people generally increases. For example, in later generations, Chinese mineral water was a dollar per bottle, and American mineral water was a dollar. It is equivalent to that the people of China and the United States use all their money to buy mineral water, and their purchasing power is about the same.

The urban infrastructure is still in progress, and under the personal planning of Zhu Youxiao, the affordable housing project began to be built in the suburbs outside the city.

Not all of the population of the capital is inside the capital, and there are many houses outside the city, and even the city walls are sticking to them. This phenomenon is very common, because the development of cities has made the land within the city walls too small.

Naturally, the affordable housing project is built outside the city.

The first phase of the affordable housing project in Beijing plans to resettle 10,000 households. After the resettlement, the shantytowns (slums) in the city will be upgraded.

After a construction project, the spiritual outlook of the entire capital has changed. In the streets and alleys, the poor people whose eyes were numb and had nothing to do were gone, and they became figures sweating on the construction site. The poor people who have income are immediately nourished.

The people of the entire capital have become very busy.

The people were busy working on the construction site, and the merchants and men were busy doing business, showing the prosperity of all industries. Because most of the people had jobs, and because of the economic effects brought about by these construction projects, private businessmen also began to increase investment and employees, and soon there was a labor shortage in the capital.

When a merchant hires workers, he has to raise his wages to at least 30 wen a day, and the work must be easier than on the construction site, and he has to serve bread and other food at noon.

Although the wages were higher, the business was doing well, and many businessmen were smiling. Those small and medium-sized businessmen do not feel disgusted with the tax bureau at this time, because the tax bureau rarely troubles them. In particular, street vendors, as well as those shops that run small businesses, the tax office will not collect taxes from them at all.

This time, the purchasing power of ordinary people has increased, and their business has naturally done a lot.

The new atmosphere of the capital has made the people have a strong support for Emperor Zhu Youxiao, what is faint and bright, in the eyes of the people, it is very simple, that is, has it changed their lives.

They don't even need to be given a better life, as long as they see a little hope in life, they are the emperor of the Holy Ming in their eyes. (To be continued.) )
