Chapter 236: The Loveliest Person
In Zhu Houwei's eyes, Tongzhou is the cradle of the budding industry of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the place where he has devoted the most efforts, so there is Yongwang here.
However, since Zhu Houwei ascended the throne, this place has become a palace, and the scale has also been expanded.
After Zhu Houwei and Xue Zhilei stayed in the Tongzhou Palace, not only did they bring 3,000 soldiers to the palace, but also the government that received the news sent the officials of various yamen to participate in the guard.
After a day of driving, Xue Zhilei, who was pregnant, was really tired, and fell asleep after freshening up, while Zhu Houwei walked on the streets of Tongzhou County under the moonlight with a few guards without many people knowing.
It's not that Zhu Houwei wants to play some trick of private interviews with the people, but he likes the smell of plants and trees in the night, and as a modern person, he knows the importance of health to the emperor.
The body is the capital of the revolution, and if you want the Ming Dynasty to develop completely according to the route he envisioned, then he must live long enough, otherwise people will die and the government will die, and sooner or later the Ming Dynasty will embark on the old road of fate and reincarnation under the leadership of Confucianism.
Generally speaking, there is a curfew in Ayutthaya and Dafu, but Tongzhou does not, which is a concession place because of the existence of Tongzhou Industrial Park.
Tongzhou can be said to be the first and only place in the Ming Dynasty to free the people from the land and achieve self-sufficiency through part-time work.
Because tens of thousands of people in Fangshan migrated to Tongzhou, although these people got due compensation, they still lost their land after all, in the feudal era, the loss of land was the source of turmoil, so how to settle these landless people is the first issue to be considered by the imperial court.
However, Zhu Houwei did not mean to add chaos to the court at all, because he knew very well that if there were no corresponding measures to move the people of Fangshan to Tongzhou, the Manchu Dynasty would definitely oppose it like a mad dog.
But the migration of the people of Fangshan did not cause the slightest chaos, and the reason for this was the construction!
The original Fangshan will be bulldozed, and hundreds of huge palaces will rise from the ruins of Fangshan County, and if you want to complete such a project in a few months, you must first rely on manpower!
Massive manpower!
At least tens of thousands of people in Fangshan are far from enough, so in the initial period, not only were the people of Fangshan recruited to work, but Zhu Houwei even sent eunuchs to recruit tens of thousands of people near the capital to participate in the construction of Fangshan!
If there is a salary, there is motivation, to ensure three meals and three full, to ensure that the salary is paid on time and in full, and the simple people at the bottom will only work hard!
When more than 100,000 workers built Fangshan, these people directly invested in the construction of Tongzhou Industrial Park, with the addition of this new force, the development of Tongzhou Industrial Park is almost changing with each passing day.
In today's Tongzhou, the original Tongzhou people will still farm, but only their own land, although those big landlords have a large amount of fertile land, but no people are willing to become tenants, in order not to let the land be wasted, they can only cut the rent and even pay wages, hire workers to farm.
Today, there are more than 30,000 households living around Tongzhou Industrial Park, and these 30,000 households are working in the industrial park in addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled and unmarried women!
Zhu Houwei's purpose is very pure, he wants to use the Tongzhou Industrial Park as a pilot, leverage the pilot of land income, and unconsciously transform the Ming Dynasty from an agricultural society to an industrial society.
This is Zhu Houwei's biggest scheme, but no one knows about this scheme.
Outside the gathering place of the people in the industrial park, there are workers who go home after completing the work, and the lights inside and outside the park are bright, making the quiet night a little more noisy.
A white lantern was hung in front of the door, and there was a spirit flag on the door, which made Zhu Houwei, who was walking, frown.
The first point that Zhu Houwei thought of was work-related death!
In today's world, human life is never as valuable as imagined, especially the lives of the people at the bottom are not worth mentioning, and it is not surprising that the casualties are not surprising when working in heavy industrial areas in industrial parks, such as munitions areas.
After all, the military manufacturing of this era is far less mature than that of later generations, and it can be said that it is still in the stage of exploration and exploration, and since it is exploration, there will inevitably be a large number of tests, and how can arms tests be riskless.
However, neither the government, nor the eunuchs in charge of the industrial park, nor the people themselves will take disability seriously, because the treatment of working in the military industrial zone is the most generous.
These arms craftsmen and ordinary workers are paid several times more per month than ordinary workers in manufacturing areas, and since they are paid such a good salary, it is natural for them to take the corresponding risks.
Moreover, whether it is disability or work-related death, the industrial park has relative compensation and bereavement standards, and it can be said that the norms have been achieved to the extreme.
But looking at the people in front of him who were being mourned, Zhu Houwei was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Go and pay your respects and see which workshop did the work."
Ren Xing nodded, and after a while, he came out and said: "Master, the condolences have passed, but this household is not a worker in the workshop, but a ......."
"What is it?"
"It's the death...... The soldiers who died in battle at the Dushikou of Xuanfu. ”
Zhu Houwei was stunned, and in the battle of Dushikou, the 5,000 musketeers dispatched were all soldiers of the original Shenji Battalion of the Shence Army, and the Shenji Battalion recruited a large number of recruits when it was reorganized and expanded.
Almost all of these recruits are young and strong people from Beizhili, so it is not surprising that this family is mourning for the fallen soldiers.
"Check it out." Zhu Houwei sighed.
"Master, this is a gloomy place, the master of all vehicles......"
Zhu Houwei paused, glanced at Ren Xing and said: "In the battle of Dushikou, more than a thousand soldiers were killed, do you know why they died!"
"In order to defend the territory of the Ming Dynasty from being invaded by thieves and robbers, and to protect the people on the frontier from being plundered by barbarians."
Zhu Houwei nodded and said solemnly: "In my eyes, these soldiers are much more useful than those officials in the court who can only talk about it, they shed blood and sacrificed for the Ming Dynasty, forgot their lives and forgot to die for the sake of the society, and returned to the territory for the soul of Zhu Ming, can't they still deserve my sacrifice?"
Ren Xing didn't dare to answer, and the corners of the eyes of the several soldiers who were closely protecting him were slightly moist.
"They died for the Ming Dynasty, they are the heroes of the Ming Dynasty and the heroes of me, the loveliest people in the world, and they are martyrs!" After Zhu Houwei said this, he walked towards the gate proudly......
