Since a new war has not yet been fought, it is now a non-war time.

This is how the Ming defined it, the country is either in wartime or non-wartime.

Under the influence of Li Xiao, now Daming has to make a plan no matter what he does. And there are not only short-term plans, but also long-term plans.

For example, the industrial center of Daming is still dominated by the Bohai Rim Economic Belt. On the Yangtze River estuary economic belt headed by Huating, the development of new industries.

Obviously different from the northern industry, most of the products produced in Huating are chemical products and new materials.

While Li Hao was talking, he and Li Xiao were strolling on the fields on the outskirts of Beijing. There had just been a heavy snowfall, and the land was blank.

The field became a white blanket, with the occasional stick or two sticks sticking out of the ground. The gray-headed sparrow crouched on the tree, chirping non-stop.

Winter is extremely difficult for them.

Suddenly, Li Xiao saw something shiny in front of him, shimmering in the sun, and it looked so dazzling under the snow.

"What's that?" Li Xiao put his hand on the pergola and looked at it for a while, but the distance was too far to see clearly.

It's too cold, otherwise I'll take a look at it with a telescope.

"Oh, that!

It's a plastic film house made by farmers on the outskirts of Beijing!

The plastic film produced by Huating has become a plastic greenhouse by propping up bamboo strips.

In the past, there were some people who made greenhouses, and those were made of glass, and the price was very expensive.

The direct consequence is that the greenhouse vegetables in winter are also very expensive, and the main vegetables in the winter are still Chinese cabbage, radish, and potatoes.

In the past two years, carrots and onions have been added.

Plastic film is a good thing, it is cheap and you don't need to build a shelf, you just need to use bamboo strips to prop it up.

Now a large number of plastic greenhouses have begun to appear in the suburbs of Beijing, and soon greenhouse vegetables will appear on the tables of the people of Gyeonggi.

As green vegetables come on the market in large quantities, the price will gradually come down.

In the future, the people of the capital will be able to weigh two catties of celery and dumplings with celery stuffing in the winter.

As he spoke, he was a little greedy. Big brother, let's eat dumplings at noon, celery filling. ”

Li Hao suddenly snorted, like Brother Pig.

"I remember that you used to love leeks and egg filling, but you really can't make do with the three fresh fillings.

Why do you love celery stuffing again? Li Xiao blinked his eyes, very puzzled.

"I don't know what's wrong, as long as I eat something stuffed with leeks, the stomach will regurgitate acid water. That taste, not to mention how uncomfortable it is. ”

"Oh, have you seen Doctor Li?" Li Xiao turned his head with concern.

"After reading it, Dr. Li said that it was the root cause of the disease caused by sleeping in the open when he was exploring the railway.

It's not easy to cure, and now I drink medicine every day, and I'm annoyed! Li Hao sighed helplessly.

A long breath of white gas erupted, and Li Xiao turned his head.

"You've worked hard all these years!"

"Hard, seriously. Watching the people's lives get better day by day, I feel comfortable in my heart.

Over the years, you've been busy fighting wars outside, and you've seen less of what is going on at home.

Seriously, Daming has changed a lot over the years. Especially in Gyeonggi, Liaodong, and Tianjinwei.

Not only did the people have food and drink, but the children in the city could also go to school.

In places like Hebei and Liaodong, many villages also have primary schools.

Many junior high school graduates have given up the privileged city life. They go alone to the countryside and teach children.

I was both a Chinese teacher and a math teacher.

Many of the small schools in those villages have only one teacher.

Last month I walked a few villages and saw those respectable people. They are generally thin, but they are very energetic.

The house is not very good, but it is one of the best in the village. Every day, they eat pie rice at the villager's house.

It's the family's turn to eat every day!

I heard from the village chief that whoever had their turn would cook something delicious. But these gentlemen from the city are still very thin, and they don't know what to do.

The village chief may lie to me with nice words, but the villagers' respect for Mr. is oozing from the bones.

I could see that they really respected the young gentlemen who didn't talk to each other.

I ate what they said was a delicious meal, but it was actually pimple soup. The dish is also the head of pickles, and the gentleman will add an egg when he comes.

But in the end, those eggs often fall into the mouths of gluttonous children. ”

When Li Hao spoke, his eyes looked into the distance, as if he wanted to see through the mountains and rivers, and once again set his eyes on that remote mountain village.

It didn't look like he was talking to Li Xiao, it was more like he was muttering.

"Life in the countryside is still so hard?"

"It's okay to be close to Gyeonggi, just like this village in front of you. But if you go farther and go to those places in Mentougou, you will see a different scene.

After planting high-yielding crops such as corn and potatoes, they will not go hungry.

But it's just that I won't starve, I still have no money in my pocket, and I'm still very poor.

Children stare at the chicken's butt every day, as long as they want to pull the egg out of the chicken's butt.

For many families, eggs are the main source of income in addition to selling food.

It takes money to change salt at home, buy new clothes, and even build a new house.

They have no money, so they can only make money by raising chickens. ”

Li Xiao didn't answer, he knew that Li Hao was blaming him for spending all his money on the war.

There is no way to answer, doesn't Li Hao understand the meaning of defeating the Europeans? He knew, but he still felt even more sorry for the people of the Ming Dynasty who were struggling in poverty.

"Soon! They can't make money like raising chickens.

Large-scale chicken farms began to be established in the suburbs of Beijing, and there were eight of them as soon as they were established. There are these eight large-scale chicken farms, and the number of eggs and chickens provided can account for 30% of the demand in Beijing!

You know, the capital already has a population of 4 million. This thirty percent of the number is already very terrifying. ”

"Yes! Thirty percent of the numbers are very scary, and because they are farmed on a large scale. Costs will be controlled to a certain extent so that the price of eggs and chicken will be pulled down.

In other words, the eggs of those farmers will be cheaper. In exchange for less money, they will receive even less.

Fourth, do you want Tiger Girl not to open those chicken farms? Li Xiao finally knew that for Mao Li Hao, he had to pull him to walk in the snow.

It must be a matter of Hu Niu opening a chicken farm, he has no way to stop it, so he can only come to Li Xiao to hit the wooden clock.

"After she opened a chicken farm to make money, the rich in the capital will follow suit.

They are not short of money, and they are rich. Soon it will be able to form large-scale farming!

In this way, the egg and chicken business in the capital will sooner or later fall into the palms of these people.

The chicken is done, what's next? Pigs, cows, sheep?

The people will sell the big fat pigs that have been raised for a year during the New Year's holiday, hoping to sell them at a good price and let their families have a fat year.

But if pigs are farmed on a large scale, what do you do with those children who are looking forward to new clothes for the New Year?

What about the thousands of rural families? ”

Li Hao began to roar filial piety, obviously he could no longer speak calmly.

"What to do? What to do?

No way! Li Xiao exhaled a breath of white air.

"In the Ming law, there is no one that does not allow people to open pig farms and chicken farms.

Tiger Girl wants a self-reliant livelihood, and opening a chicken farm is 10,000 times better than those who open a brothel and a casino.

I just feel that she deserves support, not from her uncles.

In fact, it is only a matter of time before the smallholder economy will be hit by economies of scale.

Even if the tiger girl doesn't come out to do it, others will come out to do it.

Merchants are the people with the most sensitive sense of smell in the world, not to mention that in Xi'an and the Western Regions, there are already large areas of national nutritious chicken farms, pig farms, and cattle farms.

The precedent for success is there, can you not let them go and make money?

They have raised these livestock and poultry well, and the price of meat and eggs will also fall in the future.

Isn't it good that the people's tables can also have more meat?

As for making the villagers rich, this is a matter of the government to guide and the villagers to pay their wisdom and sweat.

It's like you say, the villagers grow potatoes.

What I do know is that after frying the potatoes a bit, sprinkle them with some spices. That's a great little snack!

The little ones in the city now have some pocket money in their pockets, and the little ones are always greedy......

Another example is that a farmer who grows fruit trees will rot if he can't sell the fruit.

But if these fruits are canned, it is not a big problem to keep them for a year and a half.

There are more ways, as long as the ingenuity of the people is used, there will always be a way.

What your government has to do is to guide in the middle. Repair the roads and do a good job of law and order.

As long as you do these things well, the villagers will find their own way, and many people will become rich.

People who become rich are good examples, and many such people can lead a village, or even an entire township, or the whole county to become rich.

Economics is a profound science, which requires specialized people to study it.

You are doing your duty, but you still read too little. This is also the reason why I asked Sun Yuanhua to be the first assistant and you are the second assistant.

So many things, so many things, so many truths. Sun Yuanhua understands, but you don't. Perhaps, this is called experience.

In my spare time, read a few books and ask for advice from professors in college. ”

Li Xiao knows a saying, that the stick cannot defeat the laws of economy.

Someone needs someone to study the laws of economy, and Li Xiao himself is a standard bottle of dissatisfaction, half a bottle of half-hanging, and two knives.

It's not easy to say that.

"If the law does not prohibit it, it is okay!

The government's responsibility is not to prevent the people from getting rich, but to guide them to get rich.

It is also necessary to create the necessary conditions for them to get rich.

Roads and railways, airships in the sky, rivers, lakes and seas are unobstructed.

These are the things that the government has to do!

It is not because what the big families do will affect the small farmers, so they favor the farmers.

There are many people in the Ming Dynasty, but there are still a few people who have the ability, courage, and enthusiasm to get rich.

We need to cherish these few because they are able to create wealth. Li Xiao patted Li Hao on the shoulder.

In fact, some of these truths he didn't understand.

If you want to fully understand, I'm afraid there is no such person in Daming today.

"Big brother, do you mean to say that we should encourage these profiteers? Wouldn't the ordinary villagers be in trouble? Li Hao looked at his eldest brother in disbelief.

He didn't expect that not only did he not get Li Xiao's support, but instead spit out more and greater benefits in Li Xiao's mouth.

Of course, these benefits are relative to those of the big families.

"Fourth!

There is another layer of meaning, in fact, I didn't say it!

In order for a country and a nation to develop and progress, survival of the fittest is inevitable.

Although this process is cruel and lacks warmth and human touch, it is very important for a country and a nation.

If there is no survival of the fittest, then our nation will slowly lose its vitality.

In the end, it sank to the bottom of the sea like a giant whale.

When a whale falls, all things are born.

I don't want countless bugs to pop up on Da Ming's body.

The Ming Empire, created in my hands, will stand on top of the world. The whole world will crawl at the feet of the Ming Empire.

Great! All nations are coming! ”

Li Xiao's heroism did not infect Li Hao at all.

The two of them got back into the car and drove back to the Marshal's Mansion.

As the top nobleman of the Ming Empire, it is a matter of words to eat dumplings in winter.

The two brothers were chatting in the office, and soon a table of wine was set up in the flower hall.

The banquet is not very extravagant, just four dishes and one soup.

The staple food is dumplings!

"Not to mention, the celery-filled dumplings taste good too.

Why don't you speak? You don't have this stuffy temperament, you can say it if you have something to say. We brothers, what else can't be said? ”

Li Xiao ate dumplings and looked at Li Hao, who had nothing to say since he came back.

When he was talking in the office just now, he was also humming.

"Big brother, I know that a nation needs survival of the fittest. But ......, but I just don't want to see the people suffer.

Our people in Gyeonggi, Hebei, Shandong, and Liaodong are quite good, but the people in those places such as the Yangtze River, Jiangxi, Lianghu, and Yunnan and Guizhou are bitter.

Cai Tinglai, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, said that many villages in Yunnan and Guizhou are still barbarian villages.

They are not upgraded and still speak in a language they do not understand. Not only was he barbaric, but he also had little respect for the court.

Many villages are still slash-and-burn farming, and these people are poor and dregs, and they have no last meal.

There are also some villages that are a little richer, but they are just not scum. If the rich people there are also ......, how can they live?

Those barbarians, if they can't survive, will rebel. ”

Li Hao said worriedly, not even interested in his beloved celery-stuffed dumplings.

"Hahaha! Cai Ting, this old horseman, you actually fell for his evil. Li Xiao put down the fast son and sneered.
