Chapter 612 Socio-Economic Foundations and Cultural Tendencies of the New Era

By the second half of the thirtieth year of the Grand Duke, Judy Lanthanum began to get a little entangled.

According to the past practice, in the process of the prince's training, he had to manage two provincial-level administrative regions respectively.

Moreover, the environment and living customs of the two administrative regions are completely different.

If Zhu Dilan's Prussian participation in politics can be regarded as provincial-level training, plus the political envoy of the Western Regions, it can be regarded as two provincial-level training.

At the end of that year, I should have received the edict of Shangshu's appointment.

But after all, participating in politics is not a political envoy, Zhu Jingyuan's participation in politics at the beginning was not counted, and he became a political envoy twice later.

If Prussia's participation in politics is not considered provincial training, Zhu Di Lanan may have to run another province.

As a result, before the end of the year, at the beginning of December of the thirtieth year of the Grand Duke, Zhu Di Lan received news from the imperial court and the Zongren Mansion.

Let yourself go straight back to Beijing.

Judy Lanan is a little sad, is she really going to be the secretary of the ministry?

Judy Lan took her family with her, said goodbye to her former colleagues, and took a high-speed train to Yingtianfu.

Judy Lan left Kyoshi before she became an adult.

I went straight out of Beijing without leaving the palace.

So originally there was no yard of his own in Jingshi.

But since he wants to come back, the Zongren Mansion has to arrange a special courtyard.

After settling down, Judy Lanan immediately went to the palace to see her father.

Zhu Jingyuan has rarely visited the three major halls in recent years, and he has not built another palace annex around the Jingshi.

usually lives in the original Forbidden City, and the office is directly placed in the Qianqing Palace.

Judy Lanan was brought into the office by the servants of the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Jingyuan got up from his chair and came to Zhu Dilan's side to look up and down.

The child is now a full adult, and his height has reached the level of one meter seven or eight, and his body is not fat or thin.

The twenty-four-year-old man generally looks quite calm and mature.

Zhu Jingyuan gently patted his son's shoulder, and said with emotion in his expression and tone:

"That bear kid back then has finally grown up now......"

Judy Lan didn't know how to answer, and what she thought in her heart was that I would rather not grow up than have you arrange so much extra work for me:

Erchen thought...... I think it's good to continue to be a child, and I don't have to worry about the world.

"But since he was born in the royal family, his sons dare not shirk their responsibilities."

Zhu Jingyuan was speechless after listening to the first half of the sentence, and was quite satisfied after listening to the second half of the sentence:

"Even if you are self-aware, you can come with me to take a look at these ......"

Zhu Jingyuan beckoned Judy Lan to come to his desk.

This huge table has three large monitors on it.

All are 6400×3200 resolution, 72 points display.

Seventy-two square decimeters, the aspect ratio is two to one, the width is equivalent to a 45-inch monitor, and the length is equivalent to a 55-inch monitor.

Three huge screens now display a whole bunch of various ...... Stuff......

Some are the latest movies and games, some are players playing competitive games in public, and some are drawing characters chatting with the audience.

Some people explore the inland wilderness, some live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, and some run family farms.

Zhu Jingyuan waited for Zhu Dilanum to see what was on the screen and asked him:

"What do you think of these things?"

Judy Lanan knew that this was examining herself, but Judy Lanan didn't think deeply.

Anyway, I don't want to get high scores, and I don't have the consciousness of competing for posts.

Just explain your thoughts visually:

"Erchen thinks it's very good, it is beneficial to the people's soothing spirits and conducive to the stability of the world.

"The current Ming Dynasty has no external enemies, and the internal world society as a whole is also highly stable.

In this state, the contradictions between internal classes and groups are the biggest destabilizing factor.

"Ordinary and even excessive simple entertainment products are very important tools for calming and diluting contradictions.

"And relying on manufacturers, even the official factories with huge physiques, are unable to provide nearly unlimited entertainment products.

"The creativity of the people themselves, and the cultural and entertainment products created through the Internet platform, fill this part of the demand very well.

And this act of creation itself is also satisfying the needs of the creator himself.

"I, the Ming Dynasty, have achieved universal industrialization throughout the world.

"Compared with 10 years ago, the social productivity has been greatly improved, and compared with 30 years ago, there has been a tremendous improvement.

"The income of ordinary people has increased more than ten times compared to a few decades ago.

"The basic needs of ordinary people in their daily lives have basically been fully met.

"According to Erchen's understanding, in the richest and most balanced places in the world, the influence of money has even faded to a certain extent.

"Even businessmen began to compare paintings, calligraphy, and literary works, and began to compare the number of Internet followers.

"It's the same as the ancient scholars competing for poetry and music......

"The general public has begun to develop a higher level of demand, that is, the need to achieve achievement and social recognition.

"This kind of simple folk art creation makes it difficult for people to gain social recognition, and it is lowered by many levels.

"Although there were a few sensationalists, the guidance and management of the imperial court were in place.

"The guidance of my father has allowed the court to avoid a lot of negative influences."

In the past few decades, the development of science and technology and industry has been in a serious state of bias for a long time.

It is also uneven in terms of geography and categories.

Because Zhu Jingyuan, the leader, is not omniscient and omnipotent, it is impossible to guide the industry in all aspects.

At first, it was mainly to pull key industries such as steel, military, chemical, and semiconductor forward rapidly.

These industries were the first to explode at a pace far faster than normal times.

Then they will drive other related industries, and bring the industries that have been indirectly affected to accelerate their own development.

In the last two decades, of course, the cutting-edge industry has continued to develop.

However, the density of technology is getting higher and higher, and the cutting-edge research is getting deeper and deeper, and it is becoming more and more difficult to popularize directly.

With the exception of a few industries such as microprocessors, they are becoming more and more distant from the lives of ordinary people.

This has allowed other conventional industries to catch up.

It was not until the thirties of the Grand Duke that the general industrialization of the whole world was truly realized.

Even in the North Yinzhou and West Mozhou, there are a large number of conventional factories and trading houses, which are able to produce industrial products with local characteristics.

The supply of industrial products in Daming is unusually abundant, the product types are relatively rich, and the prices are quite low.

Now there is a unified market all over the world, and there is no foreign currency shock caused by exports.

Daming also does not attach importance to or even suppress the financial industry.

There is no comprehensive and free securities trading market, and the development of various lending industries is neither encouraged nor supported.

Daming's factories and trading houses were unable to obtain loans and orders in excess of the registered share capital.

How much assets do factories and trading houses have to do business.

Prohibiting and combating any form of financial leverage.

If everyone wants to make money, they can only engage in physical factories and commercial banks, not speculate on financial products.

The insurance industry is not open to the private sector.

In the eyes of Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, this series of policies and regulations must have seriously restricted economic development.

Without the drive of free private investment, how can various industries be built and developed?

From a financial point of view, Daming has a lot of problems.

Obviously, it is a completely abnormal market with continuous deflation, continued sluggish private investment, and many restrictions on industry operations.

However, the materials produced in this world are extremely abundant, and they can still circulate normally throughout the world.

The four major industrial groups will even lose money transporting goods to where they are needed.

Because they are not a conventional pure commercial group, but a social basic material security institution controlled by the imperial court.

Daming did not follow the path of an American-style free market driven by finance and investment.

Rather, it is a form similar to the Soviet-style planned economy as the absolute subject, with the local private market as a supplement.

Especially after the comprehensive unification of the world, the statistical caliber of the four major industrial groups is also changing, and more and more attention is paid to the quantity and quality of final products.

The profitability of the industry and the market value of the goods are no longer the primary goals.

As a result, there was no significant inflation in the Ming Dynasty, and there was never a large-scale currency devaluation.

The official factory of Daming is a regular worker, and the monthly salary starts at 100 silver banknotes, which seems to be equivalent to 10,000 yuan according to the previous purchasing power.

However, the living standard of the Ming workers who got a hundred silver bills must have far exceeded that of the wage earners who had 10,000 wages in their previous lives.

First of all, the workers of the Ming Dynasty basically do not have mortgages, and there are no high-priced imported products on the market.

The industrial production capacity of the Ming Dynasty is basically the same as that of Zhu Jingyuan in his previous life, and the whole world combined.

But all the sources of raw materials and markets are "domestic".

Whether it is traditional automobiles and home appliances, or emerging computers and mobile phones, they are rapidly becoming "cheap industrial goods".

Similar to Zhu Jingyuan's previous life, a car with a grade of less than 100,000 yuan is usually sold for 300 silver bills, which is equivalent to 30,000 yuan in his previous life.

The top computers of the official factory are now released at a price of less than 100 silver bills.

When the product is cleared, it is usually discounted directly.

The mainstream product is only about 30 silver bills, and it can run almost all programs on the market.

Smartphones are usually within ten silver bills, no different from Zhu Jingyuan's mobile phones of 2,000 yuan in his previous life, and the highest-end products do not exceed forty silver bills.

In the great industrialization of the whole world, the Ming Dynasty built a large number of factories to absorb a large number of ordinary people as workers.

More importantly, ordinary workers can maintain a decent and comfortable life.

Most of the children of ordinary people, as long as they find that their talent is not particularly good in the free elementary school years, do not consider college from the beginning.

The largest number of children of ordinary workers go directly to learn craftsmen after graduating from elementary school.

Ordinary people have not formed the understanding that they must go to university, and students have begun to divert on a large scale since they graduated from elementary school.

In addition, the imperial court paid special attention to education, and built public schools throughout the world.

Naturally, the pressure of going on to higher education and education will not be high.

There is no universal compulsory medical insurance for the Ming people, but the medical care of the Ming Dynasty is also a social basic security industry.

The cost is not much higher than that of Zhu Jingyuan after medical reimbursement in his previous life.

In the previous life, American-style market-oriented medical care first raised the basic cost of medical care, and then used medical insurance to reduce it, resulting in a high GDP.

This is also the financial industry to some extent.

The world of the Ming Dynasty is an industrialized world that basically does not rely on the financial industry to function.

It is a world that is basically free of capital bubbles.

There are even signs that the influence of money is beginning to fade in the generally affluent areas at the heart of the Ming Dynasty, as Judy Lanum said.

Because not everyone can afford to invest in ownership.

After the development of the invested industry, which has the ability to be the owner, it is easy to be invested by the four major industrial groups to become shareholders or even co-opted.

These entrepreneurs leave a large sum of money in their hands, and then there is nothing left to do.

The key is that the Ming Dynasty still does not encourage them to engage in finance, and their money can only be used for practical expenses.

The traditional culture of the Ming Dynasty does not encourage unlimited extravagance and waste, but encourages charity and giving back to the society, and encourages the pursuit of literary and artistic standards.

This group of them has become the world's first generation of rich, idle and capable people.

So I started to pursue other levels of achievement.

The traditional literary and artistic system of the Ming Dynasty, which has a natural competitive and entertaining nature, was quickly discovered.

At such a stage of social development, Zhu Jingyuan asked Zhu Dilanum to evaluate all kinds of new things that appeared on the Internet.

Zhu Di Lanan said a few casual generalizations, but did not continue to analyze in more specific details.

Zhu Jingyuan was quite satisfied with Zhu Dilan's angle, but he was not satisfied with the end of a few sentences.

Zhu Jingyuan raised his right hand and pointed to several animated characters on the screen:

"You said something specific, let's say this kind of electronic shadow puppetry......

"Originally, it was a program made in the form of shadow puppetry, which was performed on a computer screen through the Internet.

"Just as the simulated world has always had interaction and participation as its highest goal, it has quickly moved beyond the mere performance of shadow puppetry.

"I started to play a relatively fixed virtual role with a relatively fixed person, and directly interacted with the audience on the Internet.

"The storyline that opera should have is constantly changing in the process, and even beginning to decline.

"Especially after the relevant technology was made public and a large number of ordinary people participated in it, the performances of many individual actors became more and more casual.

"A lot of them don't have scripts at all, they just chat with the audience, or just watch something.

"In my opinion, this kind of person is no longer a traditional actor, but playing virtual role-playing.

"The most outrageous thing is that there are men who pretend to be women in men's networks, and there are women who pretend to be men in women's networks, and they are also very highly sought after.

"But I checked the household register, and most of the shadow puppet performers were ...... It's hard to put into words.

At the same time, it was found in the investigation that there were also women who used the men's accounts of relatives to say that they were men on the men's network and then pretended to be women.

Of course, there is also the opposite, a man uses a woman's number, says that he is a woman on the women's network, and then pretends to be a man.

"What do you think about this kind of thing? What kind of attitude do you think the imperial court should have? ”

Daming's network registration and use is real-name system, but this real-name system is the user's real-name name to the service provider and management organization.

However, when ordinary users communicate with each other, there is no way to directly see the real information of the other party.

It is equivalent to the vehicle management office and the traffic police, and when you see the license plate of a car, you can directly check the database and get the information of the car and the owner.

But ordinary people look at the license plate is just a few numbers, and they can't directly understand other information about the owner.

Most of the time, ordinary people can't even see the license plate.

Basically, no one directly uses the identity number as an online nickname, and most of them will take another font size.

Just like Zhu Dilan's commonly used Internet nickname is Jinling Sixty-Four Sons.

When others saw this name, they thought that he must be the sixty-fourth of the brothers of the same generation in the whole family.

Those who know his identity will know that he is sixty-four among his own brothers.

However, the Internet in Daming is still isolated from men and women.

So in the Internet of one gender, there is no normal legal gender of the other.

The matter of openly pretending to be the opposite sex and pretending to be himself is also the opposite sex.

Just like in the Qing Dynasty, prostitutes were not allowed in the capital at first, and as a result, there were Qinglou that used men to pick up customers.

It's just that there is no way to do business on the Internet, and there is no need to find the same sex in reality.

So Daming's Internet is just a show of the opposite sex.
