In the city of Nanjing, every household is lit up.

The custom of pasting Spring Festival couplets with red paper has been established, large households have also put on new lanterns, and the paving stalls on both sides of the street are full of New Year's goods.

Since Qin Liangyu was going to come to Nanjing to have a look, Xu Nianzu asked her to see enough. I put the salute in the reception house, and I didn't eat any food, so I took it to the street to wander around, and when I was hungry, I went directly to the restaurant.

Ma Wannian is in his twenties, and the farthest he has ever been is Chungju City.

After he came to Nanjing, he couldn't close his eyes or close his mouth. Everywhere is shocking, everywhere is novel, as if you have entered another world.

Walking near the Confucius Temple, Qin Liangyu was suddenly surprised: "Hey, isn't this the Duke of Wei's Mansion?" How did you tear down all the walls? ”

Xu Nianzu explained: "Most of the officials in Nanjing do not have houses to live in, and they are temporarily resettled in some noble gardens. The Duke of Wei's mansion is quite large, and half of it is set aside for the construction of official buildings, and those who are officials can move in for free after they are built. If you move to another place or to a company, you have to take back the house. ”

"What about the other half?" Qin Liangyu asked.

Xu Nianzu said: "In the same world, there is no distinction between good and low. Although domestic slaves were freed, many of them did not have a house to live in, and they were not bullied in their employers' homes, and they did not dare to resist when they were insulted and scolded. If the other half of the house is repaired and rented to the poor for 30 consecutive years, the house is automatically considered as the tenant's property. ”

Qin Liangyu has nothing to say, because the predecessor of the Wei Mansion was Zhu Yuanzhang's Wu Palace!

If Zhu Yuanzhang knew that his Wu Wang's Mansion had been converted into a low-rent house for the poor to live in, he would probably feel relieved under Jiuquan.

"Can you go in and have a look?" Qin Liangyu asked.

"Mrs. Qin, please." Xu Nianzu smiled.

Xu Nianzu introduced as he walked: "After the wall was demolished, the circle of the wall was transformed into a street shop and sold to businessmen. ”

Qin Liangyu nodded and walked through the construction site, walked inside and said with a smile: "There are still many trees and gardens preserved. ”

Xu Nianzu said: "The governor has an order, unless it is an obstacle to the construction of a house, the garden can be preserved, and it can't be all a house." ”

"Hey, these good houses are also being demolished?" Qin Liangyu was puzzled.

Xu Nianzu explained: "Most of the original houses were bungalows, and there were not many people. If it is demolished and converted into a four-story brick house, it can live in a lot and save land as much as possible. It is a street pavement, and a three-storey small building is also built, which can be used as a pavement and can be used for living. ”

For houses with four floors or less, as long as the soil is not loose, there is no need to dig too deep foundations.

More than four floors are not enough, the foundation must be laid firmly, and the wall construction must be more exquisite.

The sewer pipe is not installed for the time being, and toilets and night pots are used for and peeing. Every morning, people come to collect the dung, which can be sold for money when transported to the countryside.

There is no special kitchen, so I can only repair the earthen stove in the small courtyard in front of the building.

The number of earthen stoves is definitely not enough, and you have to queue up when cooking, which is very similar to the silo building in the early days of New China.

Let the developer improve these daily facilities slowly, and if there is demand, they will be automatically developed and improved.

You heard it right, it's the developers!

In the Ming Dynasty, there were businessmen who specialized in construction, and even the moat embankment in Beijing began to be contracted to private merchants in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

There was once a major case, and the repair project of Beijing's moat embankment was subcontracted out layer by layer. In the end, the profit was already extremely low, and the merchant could only cut corners, causing a large area of the river embankment to collapse, so the emperor cut off a string of heads.

Zhao Han suddenly wanted to build dormitories for officials and the poor, mainly because of Nanjing's high unemployment rate.

Those who can't find work have either gangsters or begging on the streets to make a living. You can't just throw it all away for mining, right? You can't just immigrate to the north.

Every time we engage in immigration, we set a proportion, how many rural immigrants are, how many urban immigrants are, and urban immigrants can follow up to learn how to farm.

If the proportion of urban migrants is too high, they will be absolutely blind when clearing wasteland for farming.

So the merchants were asked to set up construction companies and contract them to develop shops and houses, which could recruit many unemployed homeless people to work as handymen, and also alleviate the housing shortage of officials and the poor.

Builders made money, and building materials merchants made money too, even stimulating cement production.

The government seems to be losing money, but it can earn some money back by selling shop land, and some can be earned back by collecting taxes and rents.

As long as developers don't let the white wolf empty gloves and don't play real estate as a capital game, real estate is also an industry that benefits the country and the people.

After learning from Nanjing's experience, this model will be extended to other large cities.

Qin Liangyu came to the row of built buildings, and did not feel that those buildings were too abrupt and obstructive.

The walls are all brickwork, and the walls are plastered with white plaster. Balconies, railings, and windows are all traditional structures, and the roof is also tiled, which is very typical of the Ming Dynasty folk house style, but it is only built with four floors.

Reinforced concrete was cast on each floor, and although the existing cement was not of high quality, it was still possible to build a four-story building.

It's just that the steel bar is a bit expensive, and it's all untempered sugang.

"What's that roof?" Qin Liangyu pointed to the thunderbolt.

Xu Nianzu said with a smile: "The lightning rod, the governor said that the thunder can be led into the ground to avoid the house from thunder and fire, and all the city towers in Nanjing City have been installed." ”

The more Qin Liangyu listened, the more confused he became, and he could only ask other questions: "Are houses being built elsewhere?" ”

"The Baoguo Mansion has also been demolished and rebuilt, and for the time being, there are only these two places," Xu Nianzu replied, "The governor said that these big mansions in the inner city occupy too much land, and it is a waste to use them." It is better to build a building and let the residents have their own houses as much as possible. Although there are many people who can't live there, there are a few that can live in a few. ”

"If it is rented to the poor, how will the house be distributed?" Qin Liangyu asked again.

Xu Nianzu said with a smile: "The county government has a household registration. The household register near the low-rent housing was selected to select those who did not have a house in a large family, especially those who lived in the employer's house and did not rent a house. Lots are drawn according to the number of houses, and when the lottery is drawn, it must be presided over by a clean government official, and all the chief officials of the county government must be present to avoid someone from cheating and exploiting loopholes. Houses rented to the poor may not be subleased, sold, or vacant, and repossessed once discovered. After 30 years of continuous renting, the house is owned by the tenant, and when the time comes, he can dispose of it at will. ”

"It's very well thought out." Qin Liangyu nodded in approval.

Leave the construction site and walk for a while.

Qin Liangyu saw a yamen with a plaque engraved with a few big characters: Jinling Grand Court.

"What kind of yamen is this?" Qin Liangyu asked.

Xu Nianzu explained: "Just like the Ming Dynasty's prosecutorial envoy, the chief officials of the prefecture and county will not care about the trial of cases in the future." If there is any case, it will be handed over to the court for trial. In the court, there are two presiding officers. One is a chief judge and the other is a criminal officer, who are of the same rank and do not belong to each other. The criminal officer will take charge of the criminal and prison affairs, and the chief justice will be in charge of hearing the case. ”

"The criminal trial cases are all under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court, so what do you want the prefect and the county to do?" Qin Liangyu was puzzled.

Xu Nianzu said: "The duty of managing civil affairs is to make the people's lives better. ”

Walking around until the evening, Qin Liangyu saw too many novelties.

After dinner, Qin Liangyu called his grandson to the room and asked, "What do you think of Nanjing?" ”

Ma Wannian said excitedly: "It is excellent, a hundred times better than Chungju City." It is rich and prosperous, and the population of the city is much larger than that of the entire stone stone. The street is very clean, there is a kind of official called patrol, and the stone can also be set up. ”

"Yes, Nanjing is really rich." Qin Liangyu said with emotion.

The patrol police also have part of the urban management and sanitation work, and when there is garbage there, where it is dirty and messy, they must ask nearby residents or vendors to clean it up quickly.

Residents and vendors naturally do not want to sweep the floor every day, so they take the initiative to supervise those who litter. If you are caught, you can blow the whistle, and the nearby patrol police will come and pay a fine of at least five cents.

In addition, the corners of the ditches in the city are cleaned regularly by residents and vendors, each of whom is responsible for their own area.

In this way, the government does not have to hire too many sanitation workers.

A sanitation worker can be responsible for several streets, and the administrative expenses are not too high.

Qin Liangyu said: "Zhao Dudu sits in the world, the Shi Yan Xuanwei Division is definitely gone, and you can't inherit the position of Xuanwei Envoy." How about I get you an errand? ”

Ma Wannian arched his hand and said: "It's all up to my grandmother's orders." ”

Qin Liangyu said: "You come to Zhao Dudu's side to join the army, put away the young master's temper, and everything must be obeyed." When I was on the ship, I had already inquired that Zhao Dudu was training cavalry. You have practiced riding and archery since you were a child, or you can be a cavalry general in the Datong Army. ”

"That's good," Ma Wannian said excitedly, "I heard that the Datong army has reached Shandong, and it will definitely fight with the Tatars in the future." Sun Er is a cavalry general in the Datong Army, and when the time comes, he will command tens of thousands of horsemen, and he will definitely be able to avenge the revenge of the white pole soldiers in Liaodong! The father was shot blind in the eye, and the grandson will also have to flee the debt. After capturing Huang Taiji alive, he won't kill him, but first poke his blind eyes! ”

Qin Liangyu sighed and said: "Don't be so arrogant, Zhao Dudu's army can sweep through several provinces, and there are many talented people." You should guard against arrogance and rashness, and first learn the rules of the Datong Army. Only those who have the ability and abide by the rules can get ahead. ”

"Remember, grandson!"

Ma Wannian put away his smile and his expression became more serious. Suddenly, he was puzzled: "I forgot to ask during the day today, there is not a single soldier on the city wall and the gate of the huge Nanjing City." The cities that he crossed along the way were also, but there were no soldiers guarding the city. Nanjing is okay to say, but the Jiangling giant city, on the other side is Zhang Xianzhong, isn't he afraid of the eight thieves crossing the river to seize the city? ”

Qin Liangyu said with a smile: "There are soldiers at the gates of each city, otherwise who will close the city gates at night." I've asked about this. Take Gangneung as an example, there are twenty sergeants at each city gate, most of whom are in the towers. These sergeants are all veterans who are over 35 years old and have been discharged from the army. The officers and police officers in the city were either veterans or hired peasants. ”

"That's not enough." Ma Wannian said.

"Zhang Xianzhong didn't dare to cross the river," Qin Liangyu shook his head, "The eight thieves have been fighting and grabbing territory, and they haven't even built a serious sailor." Even if he can sneak attack and occupy Gangneung, what use is it? As soon as the sailors of the Datong Army came, the team crossing the river became a lone army. Although the Yangtze River cannot be fortified everywhere, if the eight thieves cross the river in a big way, they will definitely be detected, and they will not be able to go back when they come. There are countless peasant soldiers in villages and towns, and when the counties are assembled, they can fight against the army of the eight thieves who have crossed the river. And the Datong soldiers can take the opportunity to kill the other side and occupy Zhang Xianzhong's big city along the river! ”

Ma Wannian was puzzled: "Can the Datong peasant soldiers block the thieves?" ”

Qin Liangyu said slowly: "The Datong peasant soldiers are the same as the white pole soldiers, they are all half-peasants and half-soldiers, and the training time is longer than that of the white pole soldiers. I heard that there are millions of peasant soldiers in Datong. ”

"A million peasant soldiers?" Ma Wannian was dumbfounded.

Qin Liangyu nodded and said, "The more fine work the eight thieves sent, the more he dare not cross the river to attack the city." ”
