The first year of the Apocalypse, late September.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao ordered the establishment of the 'Sanitation Bureau', and the workers of the Sanitation Bureau were responsible for cleaning the streets of the city, as well as cleaning and removing excrement in public toilets.

Compared with the low labor cost of sanitation workers in later generations, Zhu Youxiao gave sanitation workers a standard salary of 2.5 yuan a month for regular workers.

At this time, the ordinary workers in the capital are basically divided into two grades, one is a worker with a formal establishment under the royal capital, with a monthly salary of 2.5 yuan, as well as a year-end bonus, as well as housing, medical and other benefits.

The other is a zero-hour worker, with a monthly salary of only 1.8 yuan.

The wages of temporary workers still seem to be lower, but now the employment relationship is like this, there are people everywhere, and there are still people who do it when the wages are lower.

If the amount of labor is tight, the wage will go up quickly.

Therefore, as long as there are more jobs, the wages of these temporary workers will naturally go up. However, at a time when the wages of temporary workers were still relatively low, and the benefits of regular ordinary workers under Royal Capital were more attractive, the regular jobs under Royal Capital were envied by many people.

As long as the companies under Royal Capital recruit long-term regular workers, Hula is a bunch of people, who can make people picky. For example, the Royal Mining Company recruits miners, and the underground working environment is not very good, but because the miners of the mining company have a basic salary of 3 silver dollars per month, as well as housing and other welfare guarantees, a large number of people are competing to become miners.

Many of these young men went on to work as apprentices and workers in the Royal Arsenal, which is still recruiting the most regular workers. Recently, it is recruiting regular workers, that is, the honeycomb coal processing plant, as well as the Royal Infrastructure Company, and the Environmental Sanitation Bureau.

The formal staffing of the Royal Infrastructure Company and the Environmental Sanitation Bureau is also too much for monks.

Since Xinjun ascended the throne, there have been more and more opportunities for the people at the bottom, among which joining the army is also a very good choice, and Xinjun has greatly improved the treatment of soldiers in Beijing.

It is a pity that the Beijing battalion does not recruit troops at all.

After all, Jingying is a professional soldier, not a compulsory soldier. The cost of professional soldiers is high. Zhu Youxiao obviously did not intend to recruit from outside, but took the border army as the object of reorganization.

After the border army is put in order, the army to be formed in the future will be mainly compulsory soldiers, and they will be able to retire from the army in three to five years. There is no military pay in peacetime, and the kind of military pay is only given when you go to the battlefield.

In accordance with the emperor's instructions, the Imperial Infrastructure Company began to build public toilets and public bathhouses in the capital, and dredged and renovated the drainage system in the capital.

This turned the streets and alleys of the capital into construction sites, and a large number of workers began to get busy. Construction is carried out under the command of a technician.

The Ming Dynasty had the construction technology of the Ming Dynasty, and this did not need Zhu Youxiao, a traverser, to worry about much.

Other cities in Beizhili have also begun to carry out the construction of these projects one after another, and a large amount of copper coins have been spilled, because the mint has minted a lot of copper coins, so the wages on the construction site are settled with copper coins, anyway, they are all settled a day, and it is more convenient for ordinary people to do things at some construction sites.

The flood of copper coins into the market did not cause the coins to depreciate because the value of the currency was recognized by the Royal Bank. You can get the bank to exchange huàn silver dollars.

The mint of 100 million copper coins costs 625,000 catties of copper, and the mint under the Royal Bank has a great demand for copper. At the moment, the Royal Mining Company is exploring and mining copper ore everywhere, and it is not even too much in terms of cost. Even if the cost of extraction is higher, it can also increase jobs.

The implementation of the urban infrastructure project immediately achieved immediate economic results, and soon made the businessmen in the capital feel that business is doing well.

Consumption went up first, because the workers got the money to make all kinds of consumption, and soon many industries were driven.

Although royal capital is monopolistic everywhere, it will not interfere in ordinary business. At this time, those small and medium-sized businessmen were much better because of the improvement in the economy. Especially those in the low-end catering industry. The feeling is most obvious. And in terms of food sales, the market is also better.

At this time, the price of meat in the capital suddenly soared.

The pork, which was originally sold for 18 wen a catty, suddenly soared to 25 wen a catty. This made those ordinary people who had just received their wages complain again.

I can't afford this pork!

A day's salary is almost enough to eat a pound of pork, which is a bit outrageously high.

Zhu Youxiao has been grasping economic issues recently, and he is very concerned about this commodity price. Tian Ergeng quickly reported the abnormal pork price to Zhu Youxiao.

"It's unlikely that the price of meat will suddenly skyrocket! Even if the demand increases, the stock decreases. It can't go up so fast. You immediately send someone to investigate. Zhu You ordered Tian Ergeng.

"Obey." Tian Ergeng left the palace and immediately sent people to investigate the problem of soaring meat prices.

Nowadays, most of the grain sales in Beizhili are monopolized by the Jimin Grain Bank, so it is impossible for grain prices to rise again. But this pork is obviously not within the scope of the monopoly, it is simply said that if you change your face, you will change your face, which is naturally not allowed by Zhu Youxiao. After all, ordinary people earn so much wages a day, and if people are allowed to go to the pit, the original intention of urban infrastructure construction will fail halfway.

Recently, Zhu Youxiao has not been in the early dynasty for a long time, and Queen Zhang Yan has persuaded him several times, but it has no effect. Recently, Zhu Youxiao was too lazy to chirp with the Donglin Party anymore, and had already decided to take action against the Donglin Party.

This morning, Wei Zhongxian entered the Heart Cultivation Hall and reported the progress of his work to Zhu Youxiao.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of the first batch of arrests planned, see if it's appropriate." Wei Zhongxian presented a list to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao took the list and looked at it, the first batch of people to bear the brunt was Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the ministry, the ministry is the head of the six departments, whoever controls the ministry of officials, who controls the promotion of officials, is an extremely critical department in the party struggle.

"Got Zhou Jiamo down first, are you too anxious?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

The slave maid thought that Zhou Jiamo was corrupting for personal gain, and Li Sancai's confession was already ironclad. Now that the Qichu Zhejiang Xuan Party has taken refuge, it must first take down the officials before it can replace the vacancy. Wei Zhongxian explained.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, carefully read the list, there are more than 30 Donglin Party officials on this list, among which the highest status in the Donglin Party is Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is also on the list.

"Just follow this list! In addition, what happened to those officials of the Qichu Zhejiang Xuan Party now? Zhu Youxiao thought about it carefully, and there was no big mistake, so he agreed.

"Your Majesty, those little minions are now obedient and obedient, and they share the same hatred and are full of momentum." Wei Zhongxian replied.

These Qichu Zhexuan Party officials took refuge in Zhu Youxiao at this time, so they are no longer the background of the Qichu Zhexuan Party. After all, the bigwigs of these parties have fallen and gone home, and their internal pyramid structure has collapsed.

They were taken off their black hats by the Donglin Party, and now they can not be angry with the enemy!

"That's fine, you keep an eye on it, and be careful of these people eating inside and out." Zhu Youxiao is not completely at ease with these little minions who have taken refuge in him.

After solving the Donglin Party, there will definitely be a few more of these guys who want to join together and disagree with the emperor, after all, it is better to dig the corners of the country to get rich!

"The slave knows." Wei Zhongxian hurriedly responded.

"Go ahead! Be neat when you catch people. Zhu Youxiao explained, and asked Wei Zhongxian to retire.

On the other side, after Tian Ergeng sent people to conduct an investigation, he soon discovered the reason for the skyrocketing pork prices in the capital, so he entered the palace again to make a report.

"Emperor Qiyu, Weichen sent people to investigate and found that the butchers in the various vegetable markets in the capital, the pork they sell, must go to the designated slaughterhouses to pull goods, and these slaughterhouses have been controlled by a group of ruffians and hooligans. If the butchers don't go to them to get their goods, they will be retaliated against by the ruffians. Tian Er Gengqi reported.

"These ruffians have a very bright brain!" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing, obviously he wasn't the only one who knew how to monopolize. The Ming Dynasty also has a lot of monopoly phenomena, at all levels.

"The leader of this group is a ruffian named Green Wolf, who seems to have a bit of a background." Tian Ergeng continued. Zhu Youxiao said: "You go and arrest people first." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tian Ergeng immediately received the order to retire, and began to set up arrest activities with Jinyiwei.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was thinking about a question, should these ruffians be co-opted! Or is it better to just shoot hard?

As a gray area force, the ruffians can often become a supplement to the official power, whether it is the United States, Japan, or even the Celestial Empire in later generations, these ruffians basically have a semi-official nature.

These ruffians can do a lot of things, they can kill people and set fires. For example, in history, the Rockefeller consortium was good at using these gangster forces to burn the factories of competitors everywhere because it was good at using these gangster forces to burn the factories of competitors everywhere, and then it was valued by the Rothschild consortium, believing that Rockefeller had a very good monopoly execution, so it was supported to balance the Morgan consortium that was supported before.

Co-opt some gangsters, and some things that are inconvenient for the official to come forward, you can let these gangsters come forward.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Youxiao obviously couldn't make up his mind. After all, the effect of the strike hard is also very good! Arrest those ruffians and shoot them, and law and order will be directly improved.

Both have advantages, but the first one is more in line with Zhu Youxiao's interests, while the second is more in line with the interests of the common people.

Another is that the monopoly of food supply obviously needs to be strengthened, and even the ruffians are monopolizing the supply of pork, which is easier for royal capital to do.

Royal Capital is personally involved in the breeding, slaughtering, and supply of pigs, which is obviously also an effective measure to stabilize the price of meat in the city.

Of course, it is not necessary that these links are monopolized, in fact, as long as the slaughtering link is monopolized. However, the aquaculture industry is also obviously promising. Royal capital can open a farm with private capital, which is naturally nothing when the scale is small, but it is very considerable when the scale is large. (To be continued.) )
