Zhu Jianyu replied, dug the soil dug out of the river, and transported it to Qinghai Ranch for storage.

At the same time, it is proposed to revitalize Qinghai.

It is estimated that it will take 30 years to build Qinghai into the south of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, he sent his eldest grandson, Zhu Houlang, to inspect the south.

Zhu Houlang is seventeen years old this year, born and raised in Moscow, and the cultural education he received is not the same as that of the Ming Dynasty.

This difference is closely related to the local culture and natural environment.

Even though the Shang Kingdom destroyed the Kingdom of Moscow, the 80 million Muscovites, after the occupation, were sharply reduced to 53 million, and they were also forcibly sinicized, but the more or less local culture affected the Shang culture.

Including Moscow architecture, it has also become a trend, and it has become popular in the country for a while.

Zhu Houlang has just returned to China, and he is not used to etiquette.

He had curly yellow hair, dyed and permed, similar to the color of a European man, and he was sprayed half to death as soon as he appeared in front of the courtiers.

In the end, I dyed my hair back and straightened it.

The old emperor laughed at why he didn't shave his hair short, and Zhu Houlang said that his grandfather didn't let him, which made Zhu Qiyu laugh.

The fourth child wanted to inspect the south in person, but the affairs of the DPRK and China were too busy, and his son Zhu Youqi had to help him, so he let his grandson go.

If you want to sit on the throne, you can't do it without knowing the place.

Zhu Houlang departed in November and took the train to Wuhan, Hubei Province.

This year, he will inspect Huguang, next year he will inspect the southwest, and the year after next he will inspect Jiangnan.

Wuhan was upgraded to a provincial government in the 47th year of Jingtai.

This city, which was also advocated by the old emperor, was also the first city without walls in the Ming Dynasty, and the city could accommodate a population of 30 million people.

Cities like Beijing and Tianjin, where the size of the population is restricted, Wuhan, the confluence of three rivers, is a city built on the river.

Wuhan has the world's largest bridge, the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge.

It is also the first bridge across the Yangtze River in Daming.

Jingtai started construction in 21 years, took 19 years to complete, and was opened to traffic in Jingtai 41 years, with a total cost of 37 million.

It can be regarded as a big project that shakes the past and the present, but compared with the eight major projects of Emperor Jingtai, it can only be said to be a small project.

Although the city is new, the name was also given by the old emperor.

However, the history here is extremely long, the three towns of Wuchang, Hankou and Jiangxia are Wuhan, and the Huangzu of the late Eastern Han Dynasty is Jiangxia Taishou, and Sun Jian died in the battle of Jiangxia.

Li Bai once wrote here that "the jade flute is played in the Yellow Crane Tower, and the plum blossoms fall in the Jiangcheng in May", so Wuhan is also called the Jiangcheng since ancient times.

Yue Fei was stationed in Wuchang for eight years.

Hankou in the three towns of Wuhan is the alluvial plain of the Han River diverted from the north of Guishan to join the Yangtze River, and the land was reclaimed in the Jingtai period, and the Hankou was filled in, so that it has the current territory.

Jingtai's 65-year-old Wuhan has a total population of 27 million.

The average house price is about 3,000 yuan, and a well-located building can be sold for 7,000 yuan a foot, and a more remote location is about 2,000 yuan, but it may take six or seven hours to ride a bicycle from the city center.

When Zhu Houlang entered Wuhan, his first impression was that there were many people and it was lively.

As the thoroughfare of nine provinces, Wuhan brings together merchants from Tiannan and Haibei.

Before Jingtai, Wuhan was a necessary place for business between the north and the south, but in the fifteenth year of Jingtai, the imperial court officially proposed to build Wuhan into the economic center of the world.

The imperial court has spent more than a billion yuan to develop Wuhan, such as the famous Wuhan Military Factory, Wuhan Heavy Industry Manufacturing Plant, Wuhan Petroleum Processing Plant, Wuhan Iron and Steel Group, etc., if there is a war now, Wuhan can provide more than half of the Ming Dynasty's ordnance supply.

Wuhan has a total of nine railway stations, which is the city with the most railway stations in the world, because the thoroughfare of the nine provinces, business travelers from all sides, take the train, this era is not like the later generations, a super-large railway station, can complete the carrying.

Wuhan's nine railway stations carry an average of 17 million passengers a day.

It is equivalent to saying that every day is in the Spring Festival.

A complex railway station can't be solved, and it can be split into nine and can run smoothly.

Similarly, Wuhan has six large port passenger stations, more than 20 small port passenger stations, Jingtai 63 years, the central decree, requiring the Wuhan prefect to unify the small stations into the main station, can approve two more passenger stations as appropriate.

Jingtai 60 years, the center to build the central region into a science and technology city, the main development of science and technology, with several years of steady development, Wuhan has initially achieved the electrical revolution, Jingtai 63 years, the first thermal power plant was successfully built, Jingtai 64 years of the official residence electrified, Jingtai 65 years, the official residence has been connected to the telephone line.

The major official residences in Wuhan have been able to talk directly to the center.

Nowadays, it is already a very fashionable saying that rich people want to be electrified, and they use electric lights to make phone calls and telegraphs.

Zhu Houlang learned that an ordinary factory in Wuhan, an ordinary worker, can earn 2,100 yuan a month, and after deducting necessary expenses such as social security and medical insurance, he can get about 1,750 yuan.

Wuhan is on the vast granary of the lake, the price of rice is 3.2 yuan per kilogram, the price of noodles is 2.4 yuan per kilogram, the price of pork is 16 yuan per kilogram, and the price of beef and mutton is 30 yuan per kilogram.

"Why are beef and mutton prices so high?" Zhu Houlang asked.

"Back to His Royal Highness, it's not that the price of meat in Wuhan is high, but the entire central part of the country, the price of meat is high, last year Mobei suffered a disaster, the price of beef and mutton rose as a whole, and it was sold to Wuhan, the price was expensive, and now it is 30 yuan, or the court will take the money to make up for it, otherwise the price will be higher."

Zhu Houlang asked: "Don't you raise cattle and sheep locally?" ”

The prefect of Wuhan knew that this chitose master was not a fool and knew a lot about farming.

"Raise it, it's not a plague, it's a lot dead."

Zhu Houlang remembered that the music in the imperial court did not see the music of the epidemic, and besides, Mobei suffered a snow disaster, and many animals froze to death, and the people in the north were full of meat last year, and the rise in meat prices this year is also understandable.

He glanced at the Wuhan prefect, this was to deceive him and just returned to China.

"Chitose, Wuhan is rich, every family eats meat, and the mouth is tricky, like to eat beef and mutton, in previous years, it was Mobei to supply meat and livestock, this year the supply is cut off, relying on the local self-raised fundamental supply is insufficient, and the price increase is normal."

Zhu Houlang didn't hold on: "The price of beef and mutton is so high, don't merchants go to other provinces to buy goods?" I heard that Anhui sheep farmers lost money this year, why not buy from Anhui? ”

"Didn't you just know this, the lower officials have already organized people to buy it."

Obviously, the industrial chain is in the hands of the elite, and butchers cannot go to other places to buy goods, resulting in soaring local beef and mutton prices.

That night, Zhu Houlang's attendants said good things to the Wuhan prefect.

But Zhu Houlang secretly made a note.

In the whole of Hubei, the registered population is 210 million, and the permanent population is 160 million, which can be regarded as a net outflow of people.

The economy seems to be developed, but in fact, compared with the truly developed coastal cities, it is a few points worse after all.

When Jingtai was 60 years old, an economist put forward the concept of a super city, with a permanent population of more than 20 million, and the economy belongs to a super first-tier city.

In Wuhan, there are two megacities, one is Wuhan and the other is Xiangyang.

With a population of more than 20 million, Xiangyang is purely a matter of luck.

Jingtai 60 years to build a science and technology center, the imperial court invested 3 billion yuan in Xiangyang, to build Xiangyang into a central pearl science and technology city, mainly developing batteries and refrigerators.

The investment of the imperial court attracted a large number of workers to Xiangyang and settled in Xiangyang, which also made Xiangyang a super city.

And waiting for the capital to heat up, Xiangyang will continue to decline.

There are three refrigerator cities to be built in the palace, Xiangyang, Hubei, Qingdao, Shandong, and Yangzhou, Jiangsu.

The first handmade refrigerator in the Ming Dynasty has been used in the palace in the sixty-second year of Jingtai, but if you want to mass produce and fly into the homes of ordinary people, you can't do it for the time being.

With Xiangyang as the center, we will build a refrigerator supporting industrial chain city, such as Nanyang in Henan, Xunyang in Hubei, Suizhou, Yicheng and Jingmen in De'an, etc., and set up supporting industrial chains.

These cities have also jumped from a population of one million to small cities with a population of more than five million.

In the thirty-first year of Jingtai, the imperial court spent 20 million yuan to change Baling to Yueyang next to Dongting Lake in Yuezhou Prefecture, expand Yueyang City, and renovate Yueyang Tower.

In the sixty-first year of Jingtai, the palace spent 1.6 billion yuan to invest in the construction of a washing machine factory in Yueyang.

The reason why he chose to be in Yueyang is mainly because the person who invented the washing machine is a native of Yueyang, who wants to invest in building a factory in his hometown, so he builds a factory in Yueyang.

Yueyang is the capital of Yuezhou, with a population of 12 million, but the permanent population is only 9 million, with the imperial court investing in the construction of factories, the net inflow of population in recent years is 4 million, and it is expected to become a super city within ten years.

During the Ming Dynasty, Dongting Lake was the largest period in history, with 800 miles of Dongting and a mighty state.

The main reason is that the Jingjiang embankment often discharges, constantly rushing into the area of Dongting Lake.

This is not a good thing, people die every year.

In the ninth year of Jingtai, the first major project of the Ming Dynasty was to repair the embankment of Dongting Lake, and the old emperor gave a death order to the Ministry of Industry at that time, and the embankment must ensure that it does not leak for 50 years, regardless of the cost.

The Jingjiang embankment cost a total of 970,000 taels of silver, and to this day, there has been no outlet.

Of course, about 200,000 taels of maintenance costs have to be invested every year, and in the 50th year of Jingtai, the old embankment was demolished and the embankment was rebuilt with concrete, so it was not flooded in these years.

Today's Dongting Lake, Haohao Tang Tang 1100 miles! The smoke is vast, and the blue sky is vast!

This is the result of returning farmland to the lake for 50 years, and since the 15th year of Jingtai, it has begun to demolish cultivated land, expand the surface of the lake, and continue to expand.

There is no shortage of arable land in the Ming Dynasty, and it would rather immigrate more to protect the rivers, lakes and seas.

Yun Mengze, which once disappeared, also washed out the Yun Mengze mentioned in ancient books because of the continuous expansion of the surface of Dongting Lake.

Even, rushed out of the Honghu Lake.

Historically, Honghu Lake was rerouted during the Jiajing period, so it rushed out of Honghu, and there was no Honghu Lake before that, no, to be precise, there was Honghu Lake during the Yunmengze period.

In the fifty-third year of Jingtai, Honghu Lake appeared, and the area expanded year by year.

Don't think that the bigger the lake, the better, the bigger the more dangerous, once it floods, it may wash away the entire Yuezhou Mansion!

After 40 years from Jingtai, the imperial court has to invest 5 million yuan a year to control Dongting Lake, and this cost increases every year, as of last year Jingtai 64 years, the cost of Dongting Lake treatment is as high as 9.27 million yuan.

It was not until the maturity of modern dam technology that Dongting Lake finally stopped flooding and became a tourist attraction, a key flood discharge area, a hub lake for flood mitigation, and an important base for fish and crab farming.

Dongting Lake in Zhu Houlang's eyes, standing on the highest point, can't see the shore at a glance.

Even he, boating on Dongting Lake, felt that his chest was full of heroism, and the poems of the ancients appeared in his ears.

Dongting Lake tourism is the focus of Hubei tourism, receiving 120 million tourists every year.

In the fifty-sixth year of Jingtai, the old emperor changed the Yuezhou Mansion to Dongting Mansion on a whim, but it was changed back in the fifty-eighth year of Jingtai.

Because Hunan next door is not dry, I want to change Changde Mansion to Dongting Mansion, Dongting Lake is the division of Hunan and Hubei, this lake is Dongting Lake.

As a boundary lake, why should Hubei use it, we also want to use it in Hunan.

Therefore, Changde Mansion was changed to Dongting Mansion, and Hubei stopped doing it, and in the end, it was simply not changed, and it was abolished.

changed back and forth, and made Dongting Lake on fire.

Yueyang's washing machine factory will also be built, and Changde in Changde Prefecture, Chongyang in Wuchang Prefecture, and Jingmen in Jingzhou Mansion in Hunan Province have all been invested.

The washing machine factory is also built in three cities, one is Turpan in the Western Regions, one is Yueyang, Hubei, and the other is Seoul, North Korea.

Zhu Houlang stayed in Yueyang for three days and sent people to make a secret visit for three days.

It was found that the tourism routine of Dongting Lake is very deep, and there are many cases of forced buying and selling, low price and high sale, and even violent beating of tourists.

And these were not mentioned in the recital given to the center by the Hubei Political Secretary.

In the past few years, the tourism boom has indeed published the problem of tourists stealing tourists in the newspapers, and the tourism bureau has sent people to make secret visits, but nothing has been found.

Zhu Houlang also checked it easily, and after knowing it, he remained silent and took the train to Changsha.

He was on a special train.

But there was a problem with the train in Xiangyin, according to the railway staff, someone stole the nails on the tracks, so the temporary train stopped at the station and waited for maintenance ahead.

Zhu Houlang frowned and asked, "Are iron nails often lost?" ”

"No, it was a fortuitous accident."

Zhu Houlang sent someone to get off the train and go to other trains to ask passengers, but as a result, other trains did not open the door, and his people could not ask at all.

That's the problem.

If it doesn't happen often, and there is no ghost in my heart, just ask.

As the crown prince's own grandson and the future emperor, he doesn't need to risk his life, just know it in his heart.

After stopping for two hours, the train set off again.

"Let's stop at Xiangyin."

Xiangyin is a city on the south bank of Dongting Lake and the northern gateway of Changsha.

In fact, Hunan is a poor province, not much better than Guizhou, with a total population of 170 million, but the permanent population is only 90 million, and they basically go out to work.

The city of Xiangyin is very strange, there are high-rise buildings everywhere, and the people are not too tired to panic when they climb the building?

How can there be an elevator these days?

However, there is an elevator made of wood and pulled by ropes, and no one dares to take it.

Looking at the report, Xiangyin has a population of 3.4 million, but in the urban area of Xiangyin, there are hardly many people, which may be the reason for the working day.

When it was time to get off work in the evening, I didn't see the prosperity I imagined.

According to the report, there is a net outflow of 600,000 people in Xiangyin, and 2.8 million people still live in the urban area, with a house price of 1,300 yuan and a high investment value.

The agent who sells the house will continue to recommend scenic houses to tourists, and swear to guarantee that the price of tourists will rise.

The scenic houses are selling well, but there are very few people moving in.

Housing prices remain high, and there are few people in sight.

This is the current situation of Xiangyin City.

But Zhu Houlang inspected the city and found that there were many small restaurants, and several small restaurants were closed directly, and they did not do business during the day.

He wanted to eat a local snack, and his men ran for half an hour to get one.

It's also hard to eat.

"It's a ghost town, isn't it?"

Zhu Houlang compared the city of 3 million people in the Shang Kingdom, which is almost full of people, and Xiangyin's urban planning is only to the second ring road, which is a densely populated city.

The most important thing is that the imperial court invested 90 million yuan in Xiangyin to establish a washing machine shell factory, and Xiangyin should be fully developed.

But what Zhu Houlang saw was that there were no smiling faces, and he couldn't see a few shops, and at night, there were few lights on.

It is said that the hottest business in Xiangyin is real estate agency.

Adjacent to Dongting Lake, many stupid tourists are willing to invest and buy houses in Xiangyin, causing people in the urban area to follow to speculate on houses.

"Hongu asks you, what about people?" Zhu Houlang recruited Xiangyin Zhixian.

"Your Highness, this, this person should not have returned." The magistrate came up with a clumsy excuse.

"Didn't come back? Where did you go and didn't come back? You go and find them back, and the palace wants to see it. "Don't take Zhu Houlang for a fool.

He grew up abroad, but he is not a fool.

"This, this ......" Zhixian knelt on the ground, beads of sweat dripping on the ground.

"Go and find it!"

Zhu Houlang didn't want to care about these idle things, but he deceived him too ruthlessly!

In a city with a population of three million, there are very few people to see, where have the people gone? Why is a wealthy county in central China barren like this?

The point is why the imperial court didn't know!

The palace still invests here throughout the year, and what about the factories invested? What about the workers?

Why hasn't the economy improved?

This is deception!

"Do you think that this palace doesn't even have a king's name, so it can't dispose of you?"

Zhu Houlang had a gloomy face: "Call the prefect of Changsha Mansion to roll over!" Hunan political envoy roll over! Hunan patrol press make roll over! The town guard eunuch rolls over! ”

"In one day, Hongu wants an explanation!"

"The main palace wants to see three million people!"

"If you don't see this, it's over!"

Zhu Houlang held his stomach on the way here, and was prevaricated everywhere in Hubei, and when he arrived in Hunan, he was even worse than Hubei, and he was deceived and concealed.

"Your Highness, what time is it, and it's not enough time to send someone to inform you that you can come and go." Zhixian Road.

"Call!"

Zhu Houlang said: "In the sixty-third year of Jingtai, all the provincial governments were connected to the telephone, and the official residences could communicate by phone!" ”

"When Lone doesn't know anything?"

The magistrate said: "We are in a poor and remote country, and the telephone line is still being built, and it has not been connected yet!" ”

"No, in the recital at the beginning of this year, Xiangyin has already been on the phone, and Lone has seen this recital!"

Zhu found an even bigger problem.

There is a huge difference between the place that the center sees and the real situation of the place.

No, it's two places entirely!

The place in the eyes of the center is a place of prosperity, peace, development, and people's hearts.

In fact, the place is empty and empty, you lie to me, I lie to you, and the people live in dire straits!

For just a moment, Zhu Houlang was extremely afraid.

He is only patrolling for the sky and has no right to dispose of it.

Moreover, in this poor and remote place, if he is killed and the thieves drill into Dongting Lake, who can find the real culprit?

Even if he could temporarily transfer the guards, would the guards really obey him?

Broken!

Zhu Houlang began to regret that he shouldn't have had a seizure at this time.

"Your Highness, please!"

Zhixian really didn't dare to kill Zhu Houlang, if he was replaced by Zhu Jianxi's other grandsons, it would be okay to kill him, this is the eldest son of the grandson, the eldest son of Zhu Youzhen, and the great-grandson of the old emperor! This is the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

If you say that there are no special people around to protect you, it is absolutely impossible.

Besides, as long as something happens to Zhu Houlang here, everyone will have to die.

Don't think that the old emperor is kind, that is no one touches his bottom line, and even, once Zhu Houlang is dead, the Manchu Dynasty will go crazy, without the old emperor, the minister will wash Hunan in blood first.

What's more, Zhu Houlang is not a private visit to the secret inspection, but a patrol on behalf of the sky, it is an inspection, and every time he goes to a place, the local guard receives an order in advance, takes precautions in advance, and guards at any time.

And beside him, there are factory guards and forbidden troops, as well as shadow coordination.

It's just that Zhu Houlang temporarily changed his formation and came to Xiangyin, otherwise he would have been guarded by local guards.

"Most of the people in Xiangyin go out to work, and they will come back after working for a few months."

"As we all know, Hunan is poor, although Changsha is good, but it is not as good as Guangdong and Nanzhili, and the people are willing to go out to work and make money to get back flowers."

"So Weichen didn't dare to deceive the center, let alone His Royal Highness Chitose."

The attitude of the county magistrate made Zhu Houlang breathe a sigh of relief.

"Tomorrow in front of the political envoy of Hunan and the prefect of Changsha, you can defend again." Zhu Houlang simply rested and ended today's trip.

In fact, the Hunan political envoy was waiting for him in Changsha, and when he knew that he had changed his itinerary, he immediately took the train to Xiangyin.

Early the next morning, all the high-ranking officials of Hunan arrived in Xiangyin and knelt outside the hotel where Zhu Houlang was staying all morning.

Zhu Houlang only saw them.

"This palace wants to know the truth." Zhu Houlang transferred Hubei Zhuwei to defend Xiangyin, and he had confidence.

"Your Highness."

"It's not the old minister who deceives the center."

"It's a small city like this, and you can't keep people."

"If the housing price can no longer be maintained, it will be even more impossible to retain people, such a small city, relying on a little tourism and the washing machine shell factory invested in the palace to survive."

"You said that a shell factory can support how many workers? There are three million people in Xiangyin who want to eat. ”

"Indeed, the old minister did not report it."

"That's because they came back for the New Year, and when the spring plows and summer harvest comes, they will come back."

"Who are you fooling? How many people are still farming? Zhu Houlang didn't believe a word: "This palace will ask you, what's going on with the phone line?" ”

"It's going to be opened soon, isn't it the end of the year yet, Jingtai will be able to open sixty-six years ago." The political envoy said again.

"It's really one set after another!"

Zhu Houlang sneered: "If Emperor Gu's great-grandfather is here, do you dare to speak like this?" ”

"Even if Your Majesty is here, the old minister will speak with facts."

"What a fact!"

Zhu Houlang knew that the Hunan political envoy was not afraid of him, he caught the thief and the dirty, but he didn't catch the stolen goods, why did he say that people deceived the upper and lower levels?

"Your Highness Xie compliments."

This kind of old official oil is not something that a young man like Zhu Houlang can deal with at all.

"Is there a phone call in Changsha?" Zhu Houlang asked.

"Connected."

"The palace will go to Changsha immediately, call the palace, and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to call the shots!" Zhu Houlang seems to be incapable like this.

The political envoy smiled and said yes.

When the phone is connected, the phone line can be connected.

Even if Zhu Jianyu comes in person, there is nothing to say, the imperial court has a system, and the promotion depends on Jingcha, which is in the hands of the officials, even if it is the emperor, the system cannot be easily changed.

Catching thieves and getting dirty, it can only be said that Zhu Houlang is too impulsive.

When I arrived in Changsha, I dialed the central phone.

Zhu Houlang heard the voice of the emperor's grandfather and told the emperor's grandfather what he saw in Xiangyin, but Zhu Jianyu only responded a few times and did not have any special reaction, which made him very disappointed.

"Huang Jue, Jingtai thirty-three years jinshi."

"In the fifty-ninth year of Jingtai, he was promoted to political envoy for his meritorious service in repairing the Guizhou Highway."

"Lone is not wrong, is he?"

Zhu Jianyu said across the phone.

At this moment, Huang Jue knelt on the ground: "Your Highness has a good memory." ”

The kneeling of the Ming Dynasty has also been changed, only to the emperor, the queen, the crown prince, and the queen mother, and no one else kneels, and for the queen mother and queen, they only kneel on formal occasions, and worship in other places, and also kneel at the time of the great court meeting for the emperor and the prince, which is usually discretionary.

However, even in normal times, the emperor and the crown prince have always knelt down, and this has hardly changed.

Even for the royal family such as princes and county kings, kneeling was really abolished.

The subordinates only salute the superiors, and the kneeling salute is completely abolished, and the same is true in the army, where the military salutes directly, and the upper and lower salutes.

This was proposed by Jingtai in the 45th year, implemented in the 46th year of Jingtai, and has been exercised for 20 years.

Therefore, Huang Jue is the political envoy of Hunan, even if he is on the phone, he has to kneel to answer it.

"There is still a month and a few days before the Chinese New Year, and the whole of Hunan, if you want to talk on the phone, can you do it?"

Huang Jue's eyelids twitched: "Your Highness, this is indeed a bit difficult. ”

"Lone doesn't want to hear about difficulties, Lone only asks if you can do it?" Zhu Jianyu's tone was calm.

"Yes!"

"It's going to be the New Year soon, you should go home for the New Year, right? In the whole of Hunan, the population will be counted during the Chinese New Year, and you only need to be responsible for cooperating with the statistics. ”

Zhu Jianyu said lightly: "In addition to the population, all the circumstances such as salary, annual income, work, age, marriage, real estate, and land must be counted. ”

"I want to see the true face of Hunan."

"Huang Jue, do you want Gu to see it?"

Huang Jue trembled, if he checked like this, wouldn't it be all exposed?

Daming really counted the population once, or when Jingtai was thirty-five years old, and then it was increased or decreased in the base, the birth population is the population in the hospital, and the death population is the number of funeral factories.

This is simply not accurate.

Even in the sixty-fifth year of Jingtai, there are still people who give birth at home, and there are still stable women among the people.

Death is even more difficult to count, cremation can't be mentioned at all, whoever mentions who dies, or burial, is basically buried in their own homes.

The landless inhabitants of the city were buried in the cemetery.

The price of the cemetery is very low, and basically every family can afford it, but some people want to speculate on the cemetery, which is absolutely not allowed.

Therefore, there is no way to count the number of deaths.

The imperial court has a big statistic every ten years and a small statistic every five years, which basically increases or decreases the original number of people, and writes it blindly.

If the local government wants a good policy, they will increase the population, and if they think it is too dangerous, they will reduce the population, anyway, it depends on how greedy the officials want to be.

Stats are a piece of.

The more statistics are counted, the more confused they become, and in the end it is still a confused account.

But the household department sent someone to count it differently.

Not to mention how many statistics can be made, anyway, the fraud over the years will definitely be detected, and his official hat will definitely not be kept.

"Political envoy Huang Bu, can you do it?" Zhu Jianyu asked again.

"The old minister did his best."

"Lone is a soldier, when marching and fighting, there is no effort in the word, only completion, or failure, Huang Bu political envoy, are you finished? Or a failure? ”

Huang Jue gritted his teeth: "The old minister can finish it!" ”

"Okay, Lone is waiting for your good news in the center, and I hope you will enter the center in the future and serve Lone by Lone's side."

Zhu Jianyu hung up the phone.

Huang Jue's whole face collapsed.

He can handle Zhu Houlang, but in front of Zhu Jianxi, he is a scumbag.

Don't look at Zhu Jianyu as a half-monarch, in fact, he is the emperor, the old emperor doesn't care about things at all, and now he doesn't even care about major things, Zhu Jianyu has full power.

Except for one emperor title, he is the true emperor.

This time Zhu Houlang was cool.

The old man has to come out.

Wait for this old thing to enter the center, and see how the palace cleans you up.

In the next few days, Zhu Houlang got a lot of official stammers, and he sent everything, but Zhu Houlang was not bad at this point.

His grandfather loved him very much, and his palace was full of good things.

He was young and vigorous, and he wanted to fight for a breath.

He hated Huang Jue, so he hated the entire Hunan officials, so he basically didn't contact him.

In Changsha, he really felt the feeling of a big city.

In the whole of Hunan, the only big city is Changsha.

Changsha has a population of 18.9 million and a permanent population of 14.7 million, which is not a super city.

Therefore, these businessmen have left Changsha, which has caused Changsha's economy to plummet, and its population has plummeted, from a peak of 22 million to 18.9 million.

At present, Changsha has only two pillar industries.

One is Hengyang mineral water, and the other sells water, which has reached the world's top 500.

The water plant was originally located in Hengyang, but it has been moved to Changsha in recent years.

The other is the publishing industry, there are a total of 1,200 publishing companies in Changsha, and one of the ten books read by the Ming people must be published in Changsha, a central city that has created an economic miracle by relying on the cultural industry.

In fact, Changsha tourism is not bad.

Hunan, as a major tourism province, has been overtaken by Guizhou in the past two years, but relying on Hunan cuisine, it has been forced back to a city.

It is also because Changsha's development is too good, siphoning talents from nearby prefectures and counties, such as urban talents in the western mountains, basically gathering in Changsha, which also leads to the inability of local development in prefectures and counties, and Changsha's population is siphoned by coastal cities, resulting in Hunan becoming a net outflow province.

Hunan has a population of 170 million, but a permanent population of only 90 million.

In fact, if you really study it carefully, it is impossible to have 90 million, and it is estimated that there are only 30 or 40 million people left in Hunan.

So, where have all these people gone?

From Shaoguan to Guangdong, into Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Hong Kong, Macao.

The northwest is called the West Exit, and Hunan is called the South Pass, all of which have entered Guangdong from Shaoguan to work, and may or may not come back.

And the housing prices in Hunan are still high, who is taking over?

The imperial court did not know at all.

This is the disadvantage of Zhu Jianqi after he took office, in order to see a better report, he ignored some local things, just wanted to see a beautiful report, a report card worthy of praise, in the end this thing is good or bad for the people, he doesn't care.

It is also in the past few years that the local and central areas have derailed, and the court has gradually lost the control of the emperor, and there are more and more other problems.

Zhu Houlang stayed in Changsha for four days, and then went to Yuanzhou, the capital of Chenzhou, and entered Guizhou from Yuanzhou.

I haven't been to the south of the empire.

You will feel that the south is as warm as spring, but those who have experienced the winter in the south will find that it is colder than the north.

The south of the Ming Dynasty is also warm.

If you don't get warm, you can really freeze to death.

But the heating bill is twice as high as in the north.

Because of the high cost of maintenance of heating equipment, because of the humidity in the south, heating equipment is prone to rust, corrosion, insect bite and other problems, the cost of maintenance equipment is too high, followed by the heating period is short, can not return to the cost, and there is a large pollution, the company has to pay pollution treatment money, which is another expense.

Daming Heating is a private heating company, and it has nothing to do with the imperial court.

There are three to five heating companies in each region, and users can choose them at will, and the prices of each are different, so you can compare prices and choose freely.

The imperial court was responsible for supervision.

And in that kind of remote area, if there is no enterprise willing to go, the imperial court does not care, because the imperial court will not set up state-owned enterprises, and when you are a player and referee, you will not be able to do well, and the money you earn will not go into the pocket of the imperial court, and it will go into the pockets of some people.

Therefore, when the collective heating of the building was built, the imperial court set it up, and the imperial court only supervised it, not served.

The heating company also wants to open it, and there are no requirements.

When Jingtai was fifty-five years old, there was a case of deliberate closure of the heating company, which made Daming spend a cold winter, and the people scolded him.

The imperial court increased the security deposit, and the heating company must pay a deposit, and the qualifications are strictly controlled.

Therefore, the heating cost in each region is different, the heating level is also different, and users have the right to choose, and they can also heat themselves, which are not restricted.

Like Hunan, the heating period is three months, the average room temperature is 23 degrees, and 26 yuan per foot is charged, which is a relatively expensive area in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, the time when the room temperature is 23 degrees is only two weeks, the rest of the time hovers at 18 degrees, and occasionally it can reach 19 degrees if you have a conscience.

The pollution treatment fee paid by the heating company is also a bad debt.

For example, in Hunan, the weather is humid and the wind is small, and the pollution dissipates slowly, which is prone to haze and other polluted weather.

You need to spend money to deal with air pollution.

However, this money is still a mess.

This is Zhu Jianqi's management, whether it was confiscated or confiscated, the old emperor didn't know, but he felt that it was confiscated, because the haze weather in the south had appeared, and the governance cost was paid for by the imperial court, and no one mentioned this money at all.

Or rather, it was collected and greedy.

No one knows.

After Zhu saw Bingzheng, he hadn't found out this step yet.

Zhu Houlang was in the Yuanzhou Hotel, the room temperature could reach 27 or 8 degrees, the heat was unbearable, and it was too cold outside.

Most of his attendants had caught a cold.

He also complained, why is it so hot in the south, in fact, it is not bad to spend the winter in the south, it is hotter than in Moscow.

But when I made an unannounced visit on the street, I found that the people's homes could not reach 18 degrees, and the heating was not much better than no heating, and they had to wear cotton jackets in the house.

The news reached Zhu Houlang's ears, and he asked him to change the hotel to have a look.

When you check it, it's broken.

It's a heating company, and it knows that dignitaries and dignitaries live here, so they burn it to death.

That kind of small hotel with no power and no power, burn a fart, freeze to death, and pull you down.

"In that case, why don't you pay the heating bill?" Zhu Houlang found that the problem was not so simple.

He sent someone to find out.

In order to induce the people to pay the heating bill, the heating company burned very hot when it was just heated, and when everyone paid almost enough, it immediately became cold.

The hot ones are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, the powerful are hot, and the powerful are all frozen.

If you don't pay it, you can do it.

People don't stop gas for you, burn it as usual, and then find you to collect money.

Stop, it's okay, you can't find the window, the staff is sick all day, anyway, you have to pay the pipe.

If you don't pay it, people will sue you, because of this money, you have lost your personal credit, and the gains outweigh the losses.

So the people have to pinch their noses and them.

If it's not hot, pull it down, and burn paper for them.

Zhu Houlang figured out, why did his great-grandfather not want to end up at the beginning, the court really couldn't collect this money, and in the end it still fell into the hands of local hooligans and ruffians, and who is behind these people? Self-explanatory.

"Such a huge empire seems to be thriving, but in fact, there are two heavens of ice and fire, no wonder my great-grandfather always said that the fire cooks oil, I don't know if I don't see it, I am shocked when I see it, this is the place, the real place!"

Zhu Houlang didn't know what to do.

Let him take care of it, and he can't take care of it.

Everyone knows who is standing behind these companies.

Changing a batch of enterprises is also a change of soup and not of medicine.

Even if it is replaced by Zhu Jianyi's Shangguo team, can these people not be greedy when they go to the place?

"I don't have a solution."

After Zhu Houlang circled in Yuanzhou for three days, he boarded the train to Guizhou, he went to Guizhou for the New Year, and Liping Mansion should be ready.

Guizhou Railway is a small heavenly road.

From the 42nd year of Jingtai to the repair, it took 23 years to repair, and 65 years of Jingtai to complete the construction and realize the complete opening of the whole Guizhou.

Like the railway in Guiyang, it was opened to traffic in Jingtai in 50 years, but the Ming Dynasty wanted to achieve the railway village and town pass, so it took 23 years to build it, and the imperial court spent a total of 2.98 billion yuan to build Xiaotian Road.

Sitting on the train, Zhu Houlang saw the train climbing and running on the mountain road, and couldn't help but be proud in his chest: "Only the Ming Dynasty can build such a railway!" No matter how strong the Shang Kingdom is, compared with the Ming Dynasty, it is not half a star. ”
