In order to deal with the problem of frequent disasters, Zhu Youxiao issued a document on the formulation of a disaster relief mechanism within the Han Emperor Party, and transmitted it to various new deal areas for Han Emperor Party officials to hold a meeting to study.

The document clearly states that when a local disaster hits, the government should respond as soon as possible and mobilize all available forces to rescue the affected people. We must do our utmost to minimize the losses of the people. At the same time, he put forward the idea that in the face of all problems, the basic right to life of all people should be guaranteed. In terms of the current productivity of the Ming Dynasty, the basic right of survival of the people is to be able to eat enough and continue to live.

The basic right to subsistence is a concept that changes with the development of productive forces, and if it is under the condition of relatively low productivity, then the basic right to subsistence is to have a full stomach. If under the conditions of continuous development of productive forces, then the basic right to subsistence also includes housing, education, medical care, pension and so on.

For example, in the early stage of China's socialist development, some of the employees of state-owned enterprises did not do anything but receive their salaries, but when the state-owned enterprises did not dismiss them, they could not reduce their wages, no matter how much the employee did, his basic right to survival was guaranteed.

Socialism and the market economy are both ideal states. Westerners engage in a market economy, and theoretically they should be full of competition, and enterprises that do not seek to improve will be eliminated. But in fact, Westerners are prone to monopoly oligopolies, and a lot of competition simply does not exist.

It is very difficult to realize idealized things in the face of reality, so China in later generations has embarked on a new path of socialism, that is, it has begun to respect reality and no longer engage in idealism. Through the combination of socialism and the market economy, a new model that is different from the Westerners and the Soviet Union will be developed.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty under the rule of Zhu Youxiao was actually embarking on such a path. The combination of the two will not lead to excessive idealization and thus embark on a relatively balanced development line.

As for the imperial system, it does not conflict with this new socialist principle. At the same time, the new path of socialism was more in line with the interests of the emperor. Because of idealistic socialism. There will be a lot of problems. And if we follow an idealistic market economy, it will be like in the West, where the capitalists do not care about the lives of the common people for the sake of profit, and if the country goes to war and the economy goes wrong, the emperor will come out and take the blame.

Choosing the new socialist road model of later generations, that is, regardless of the life and death of the people, there is also a certain market economy to regulate the people's livelihood. The emperor's power is not too supreme, but he has the ability to control the situation. And the status of businessmen is neither too low. Nor will businessmen be allowed to manipulate the country.

As long as the merchants have no way to operate the country, it will not be like the first world war in later generations, after which the imperial system of several countries will be directly finished. There will also be no situation where businessmen only care about their own interests to the detriment of national interests, and toss a world hegemon into a second- or third-rate country.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao wanted to implement the core concept of socialism in the New Deal area, and at the same time to develop a market economy dominated by state-owned capital.

Once the disaster relief mechanism is formed, if there is any natural disaster in the future, you can follow this process and not be confused.

Under the vigorous relief of the imperial court. The summer sowing of the weather for six years was not too affected by the earthquake, and the damage to rural areas was not so serious.

The earthquake killed people, and there was nothing that could be done. As long as people don't starve to death, there will be no chaos, so summer sowing still has to be fully guaranteed.

Because the eastern Liaodong region began to be able to produce commercial grain, after the summer harvest, Zhu Youxiao accelerated the construction of roads and water conservancy infrastructure in Shandong.

Shandong has entered the New Deal reform since the beginning of the year, and the reform has been largely completed in half a year, from governors to state and county officials. Most of them were replaced by Han Emperor Party officials. The imperial court's ability to control Shandong was greatly improved. At the same time, police stations, armed police forces, courts, and tax bureaus have also been set up one after another.

Many people have realized that Shandong may be included in the New Deal area, but the imperial court has not officially announced it, so it seems calm, but there are some waves in secret.

Shandong is a coastal province, and commercial grain and fishery products are easy to transport and arrive. As a result, more farmers can be freed from the land to invest in infrastructure and industrial production. Therefore, the imperial court accelerated the construction of roads and water conservancy in Shandong, and it would not lead to famine because a large number of peasants began to work on the construction site.

As long as road facilities and water conservancy facilities are built, there will be no famine in Shandong in the future, and even if it is affected by a disaster, it will be able to transfer a large amount of commercial grain and a large amount of fishery from other provinces, and with the support of commercial grain and fishery resources, Shandong will become a good area for industrial development.

In later generations, Shandong's industrial strength was very strong, and the industry was mainly heavy industry.

Shandong has advantages in the development of machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, chemical industry, etc., and at the same time, Shandong is still relatively rich in agricultural resources, with 160 million acres of cultivated land.

Shandong's grain crops are mainly wheat, corn, and sweet potatoes, with a planting area of more than 100 million mu, and cash crops are mainly cotton and peanuts, with a planting area of about 3,000 mu.

After the promotion of corn and sweet potatoes in recent years, the planting area in Shandong has greatly increased. The planting area of cotton has also expanded because of the large increase in commercial cotton. At the same time, there is also a lot of wasteland in Shandong.

The construction of roads and water conservancy will play a very important role in promoting Shandong's agriculture. In this way, agricultural skins can be easily transported, and agricultural production materials can also be well transported to rural areas. The construction of a large number of water conservancy facilities can improve the resilience and yield of agriculture.

The construction of roads and water conservancy can also increase the income of farmers, so that they can afford to buy agricultural machinery and seeds of good crop varieties, and because of the improvement of roads and water conservancy conditions, farmers can invest less energy in agriculture to varying degrees, so that they have more time to work on construction sites to earn money.

Since the beginning of the reform of Shandong officialdom, the conscription in Shandong has disappeared overnight, and the government has not mentioned the matter of conscription at all. After the start of any project, the peasants can get paid for their work on the construction site, as well as food supply. And the salary is quite a lot, 35 wen a day.

And the number of construction sites began to become more and more numerous, roads and water conservancy were being built everywhere, and workers began to be recruited in the provinces.

People who do not have enough resources to survive in the countryside are going to work on the construction site, where they can quickly feed themselves and save some money.

After the issuance of banknotes, there will be enough money for the construction of the imperial court or something. As long as the supply of food can be increased, the number of construction sites can be increased, and the amount of money issued depends on the amount of production.

As the scale of construction increases, it is necessary to issue more money, and at the same time, the number of people engaged in agriculture will be reduced, resulting in a decrease in the scale of agricultural production. However, if there is enough food, the scale can continue to increase, and if it continues to increase after reaching a critical point, then there will be a shortage of food and other commodities, and then prices will rise.

A small price rise can stimulate production and play a benign role, while a crazy price rise will greatly weaken the purchasing power of the people, and then cause problems in people's livelihood.

Therefore, the amount of additional currency issuance depends on the scale and speed of the supply of goods. When money increases, where it flows depends on what it wants to achieve. At this time, the imperial court issued additional currency in order to develop the economy, improve people's livelihood and resist disasters.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the number of people who went to work in the northeast increased a lot, and with the start of a large number of construction projects in Shandong, many migrant workers also went to Shandong.

In Henan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi, there are also projects under construction, that is, the main highway projects that run through the northern provinces. After the road is repaired, the construction of branch roads will begin, and the construction of main roads in the direction of Gansu will also be carried out, so that the traffic conditions in the north will be greatly improved.

Under the environment of continuous natural disasters, the start of these construction projects has undoubtedly provided a way out for the victims not to starve to death. As long as you go to the construction site to work, you will definitely not starve to death.

As long as you don't starve to death, there will be no chaos in the place.

As for grain supply, the Northeast region will become a real commercial grain supply base in the next few years, and at the same time, the Nanyang region will also begin to import a large amount of grain and other agricultural products to the Ming Dynasty. When the time comes, more workers and peasants can be mobilized to devote themselves to construction.

As long as the roads and water conservancy facilities in the northern provinces are built, and the grain produced is distributed in the hands of the government, no one will starve to death no matter how frequent natural disasters occur.

Accomplishing this goal, the Ming Dynasty will not go to ruin.

This goal is still relatively easy for Zhu Youxiao to achieve, because he is already on the track of achieving this goal. After stabilizing the North, we will be able to comprehensively solve the problems of the South and change the current problem of the huge disparity between the rich and the poor in the South.

After Zhu Youxiao returned to the capital, he began to carry out drastic military reforms in the northern provinces.

The two provincial guards of Beizhili and Shandong were abolished, and at the same time, two towns were again abolished in Jiubian, and the remaining four town border armies will also be completely abolished within two years.

The means of dismantling the border army is still to resettle, to relocate these military families to the northeast, where there is still a large amount of arable land that has not been developed.

However, the further north you go, the worse the infrastructure, which is one of the major constraints on migration.

The infrastructure is poor, and having agricultural resources doesn't do much, which means that agricultural products may not be able to be shipped. With the increasing scale of ocean-going merchant ships, Zhu Youxiao began to move the idea of immigrating to Australia.

Although the Ming Dynasty does not have any infrastructure in Australia, it can first migrate to the Australian coast, and the lowest transportation cost is the ship, as long as there are enough merchant ships, it is relatively easy to develop the coastal areas of Australia. The people of the north are also more suitable for immigrating to the southeast of Australia, where it is suitable for growing wheat, and Australia is also suitable for grazing. (To be continued.) )
