Chapter 721: Monument of the Prosperous Age

@@@

"Where are the natural disasters this year?" As soon as Yang Yi asked this question, he immediately felt that he was evil again.

Han Fox didn't think he was evil, rolled his eyes and sighed: "Seriously, the slaves really expect a natural disaster, so that we can hire all the victims to work in one go, but master, even if there is a natural disaster, it will not work, now the people have land and land, their lives are richer than before, the family has surplus food, and the ability to deal with natural disasters has been enhanced. ”

"It seems that I need to marry a few more concubines, have more children, and make some contributions to increasing the population of the Great Song Dynasty!" Yang Yi let out a long sigh, looking like he took the world as his own responsibility.

Han Bi'er squirmed a few times in his arms, and said with a smile: "Whoever the master has a crush on, the slave will help the master to carry the person back." ”

Syllable! Yang Yi slapped her pink buttocks, causing Han Fairy to let out a string of painful and happy moans, she didn't just talk about it, since the beginning of the piano exercise, she has always liked to find women for Yang Yi, as if she has never been worried that Yang Yi women can't take care of them, at this point, even Yang Yi can't figure out what she thinks.

In the past few years, the Great Song Dynasty has developed rapidly in all aspects, which will inevitably accelerate the population growth, but the number of records in the imperial court is only more than 60 million, and after the Western Xia, Jiaozhi, Liao, and Western Regions were conquered, the total population was only 90 million, an increase of about 30 million;

However, the land area has increased by two or three times, so not only has this not alleviated the problem of lack of labor, but on the contrary, it has increased the number of land parcels. The need to relocate a large number of people to the real border has made the labor gap even larger.

In the past, the laborers in the city of Tokyo worked hard all day. It can only earn dozens of yuan, as much as about 100 yuan. But now, you can't hire manpower for 100 yuan, and the price of a laborer a day has now increased to 180 yuan, nearly twice as much.

In the past, all the streets in the city were full of manpower waiting to be hired in the morning, but now the manpower is still recruited at the various street intersections, but now there are more employers than manpower, and one is hired when one comes, and it is no longer seen that a large number of manpower used to look around at the street entrance. Waiting for the sight of hiring dryly.

From the perspective of the whole country, these changes seem very subtle, but they reflect the great changes in all aspects of the Great Song Dynasty.

Yang Yi thought for a while and said: "Cotton, spinning, weaving, these are mainly the need for women, in recent years, the areas where Annam, Xixia, and Liao are located have inevitably led to the phenomenon of more women and fewer men because of the war. ”

Han Bi'er shook her head and said, "The women in this place have to leave their hometowns to work, but I'm afraid that there won't be many people who want to come." Unless the local government can cooperate, in addition, the women in these places are not as ingenious as the women of my Han family in terms of textiles. This will also increase our costs. ”

"I'll figure out a way for the local government, and after you recruit people, you can organize textile experts to train them, and it will take a long time. When they become proficient, their speed naturally increases. ”

Han Bi'er then asked, "What about the large mulberry orchards and cotton fields?" Most of these require young and strong laborers to cultivate, and most of the textile factories are women. The imperial court may not scruple about it, but if our plantation gathers a large number of young people. I'm afraid that there will be people in the DPRK who are not at ease, besides, now young and strong labor is more difficult to find than women, Nanyang side, can get back some mulberry field planting in Lingnan, but I am afraid that it is not enough, the north side does not dare to do this, master, as soon as this matter is spread, things are really complicated. ”

"Each kind of value garden, the labor required is more than a thousand, less than a few hundred, with the support of the Queen Mother, and the participation of many officials in the DPRK and China, there is no problem in gathering this little people, don't forget that we still have a card to play............"

"Ye is talking about the eldest princess of the Qin Kingdom, right?"

"Well, if this card is played well, it will have unexpected effects, and you can figure it out yourself.........."

Yang Yi thought for a while and then said: "Now that Dali is full of smoke and war, there will definitely be a large number of people who have lost their homes because of this, you send people to Dali to recruit these displaced people, now whether it is the Gao family or the Duan family, they have asked me, they dare not interfere in this matter, but you can rest assured to recruit." It is not a problem to solve the labor problem of the cotton fields, remember that the displaced people of Dali should be arranged to come to the cotton fields in the north as much as possible, so that they can stay away from Dali, which is conducive to management. ”

Now the Gao family and the Duan family in Dali are in a life-and-death war, making Dali a country full of holes, victims everywhere, plus the stalemate between the two sides, they all hope to get the support of the Great Song Dynasty, and now go to Dali to get some labor back to solve the labor gap of the trading company is not a problem.

But sooner or later Dali will have to take it back, it will be impossible to do so in the future, now the lack of labor is the problem of the entire Great Song Dynasty, Yang Yi wants to develop the industry and commerce of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and it is not just the problem of the West Indian Ocean Trading Company to solve the problem is satisfied.

Yang Yi also stirred up his brain and thought about it, now it is too late to go to Africa to sell black slaves, this far water can't save the near fire, and if the problem of lack of labor is not solved, the development of the Great Song Dynasty will be greatly restricted.

Yang Yi suddenly thought of a word: Jinshan.

In the 19th century, the United States developed rapidly, and the labor gap was very large, so they made a mountain of gold and came to China to hype, saying that going to the United States to pan for gold can make a fortune, in fact, this is similar to selling piglets, and countless Chinese workers have been taken away before and after, so to speak, without the participation of Chinese workers, the development of the United States is absolutely impossible to be so fast.

Well, what others can do, we can do.

"Bi'er, that Goryeo merchant Li Zhengxi, and the big merchant Lu Yongzan of the Wusi Department, this time I have to cooperate with them, remember, our Great Song Dynasty has discovered a huge gold mine, and we want them to encourage the local people to pan for gold......... Hahaha. When Yang Yi said this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ye is saying............" Han Fox immediately understood what he meant.

"Yes, whether it's gold panning or other reasons, let them go back to China and hype it up, in short, how much manpower can be obtained, we will give them how much money according to the price. There is one more place. ”

"Japan?"

"Well, looking at the countries of the Quartet, Japan has the largest population, and the Japanese have great admiration for my Great Song Dynasty, it is not difficult to get some labor from Japan to come back, you don't need me to teach you the method, anyway, the more you get back for me, the better."

"Hehe, slave gets it."

"You vixen, I'm afraid you have thought of this a long time ago, don't pretend to be crazy and stupid in front of me in the future, you still have a lot of things to do, I don't have time to grind your teeth."

"The slave is wronged, where did the slave think of it, besides, if the master doesn't nod these things, even if the slave thinks of it, he won't dare to do it." Han Bi'er's naked jade body was wrapped around like a water snake again, and with great hospitality, a plump jade breast was immediately sent into Yang Yi's mouth, blocking his mouth so that he couldn't speak..........

As soon as the detailed plan and budget for the expansion of the capital were submitted, the budget of nearly 90 million yuan suddenly caused an uproar in the court.

But to everyone's surprise, Cai Jing, who should have been the first to jump out to find Yang Yi to fight, was the old god, as if the 90 million yuan was not for the household to pay for it.

Without waiting for the hundred officials to jump out and speak, Yang Yi rushed out of class and said: "Queen Mother, now that my Great Song Shengjun is in power, the people's livelihood is great, all industries are prosperous, and thriving. ”

Yang Yi's sycophant slapped over, Liu Qingjing's heart was happy, especially this high hat was worn by Yang Yi, and the meaning was even different.

In the past, Gao Taotao was also called the female middle school Yao Shun by the old party, but look at what Gao Taotao has done, compared with the current queen mother, it is one in the sky and the other on the ground.

This female Zhong Yao Shun's big hat should have been worn by Mrs. Liu!

It's just that no one in the New Party has mentioned it so all along, okay, when the Taifu of the Dynasty, Ning Guogong, and Yang Daxue ....... mentioned it, the tall hat of this female Yao Shun is none other than Liu Qingjing.

Yang Yi continued: "The Queen Mother, now I am the Great Song Dynasty Emperor Ming and the virtuous, the people's livelihood is rich, living and working in peace and contentment, the four Yi are subservient, all the countries are coming to the dynasty, and the prosperity of the era has been far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties. However, there are also regrets that because my Tokyo City was expanded on the old city, it lacks overall planning, and it seems narrow and congested everywhere, which is not consistent with the image of the country that sits on the four seas in the Great Song Dynasty and is terrifying.

Before the Tang Dynasty Chang'an, the magnificence was magnificent, and when the four Yi came to the court, they did not dismantle the subdues, so that the five bodies fell to the ground and worshipped. Now that the treasury of my Great Song Dynasty is abundant, I want to expand Tokyo, and I think that I should build it more decently, so as to show the supreme majesty of my Great Song Dynasty as the co-lord of the world and the king of the four empires, so that all nations will submit and all people will return to their hearts. ”

Yang Yi's words actually have some tricks, and he uses the expansion of the capital as a vehicle to demonstrate the martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty, which is to arouse the resonance of all New Party officials.

How did this prosperous era come about, this is not only the credit of the emperor, the empress dowager, or a certain person, but also the result of the unity and hard work of all the members of the New Party over the years, and this is the credit of all the members of the New Party.

Wealth does not return to the hometown, such as clothes and brocade at night. In other words, the New Party has worked hard to have today's prosperous era, but this prosperous era is relatively empty, so the expansion of a majestic capital will undoubtedly be able to materialize the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, so that everyone's credit can be embodied from this majestic capital.

Look, if it weren't for prosperity, how could a majestic city be built?

Such a majestic city of Tokyo is the result of our efforts over the years, and this majestic city of Tokyo is a monument that inscribes our merits and highlights the great cause we have created.
