The people who play the ice car here are all children, some of them are brought by older people, and there are no men and women who can work, they all have something to do.

Men are also mainly engaged in manual work, such as helping to carry work, or transporting things for the construction site to the Ma'anshan mine.

Either the silage ponds of Tianfu, as well as coal transportation and honeycomb coal.

Women work in match factories, textile factories, greenhouses, pickle factories and other factories.

If I really have free time, I won't run to the ice rink so far, but find a place to read and read.

Because according to the grapevine, in the future, Xiaqiu Village will only recruit literate people, and those who can't do it will not, including those who make a lot of money.

When it comes to money, the people work hard, especially those who work in various factories, and when they go home from work to rest, they take out the literacy books they borrowed from the library to read and write.

The people who can be in the ice rink are the older people, who bring their grandchildren here to play, mainly responsible for the safety of the road, for fear of being stolen by others.

In fact, there are no human traffickers, it's not that someone is kind, but if the child is stolen and can't be transported, more than 100 miles will need a road guide, and the road will lead to a household registration.

If you steal a child and want to leave, your household registration can go to get a road guide, where can the child get a road guide? Looking for a child's family to have a register?

The children continued to play, while the elderly who brought them stayed around.

"How many people are in this old brother's family?" Zhu Yuanzhang came to the nearest person and carefully looked at the other party and asked.

The old man also looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and smiled: "There are many people in the family, my wife is also there, the four sons are married, and the grandchildren add up to nine, this is the youngest, I will take it to play." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a small child, who could not use an ice drill on his own, but could only be carried around with other people, and looked to be two or three years old.

Zhu Yuanzhang was happy: "The children and grandchildren are good, how is the life at home?" ”

He knew that it was not easy for a family of nineteen people to live so many children.

"It's done! Each family has earned their own flowers, we don't care about the money, everyone is the best, you can take it home three times a month, and the others are about two.

Isn't it that the daughters-in-law and children in the family have gone to work! Those who earn more than 20 yuan a day are better than at the beginning, and in the past few years, where to find such work, they were all weaving at home.

Our family still has 100 acres of land, all of which have been rented out, and the two of us old ones will leave a vegetable plot to grow vegetables to eat by ourselves, and also dry vegetables.

By the way, chickens, ducks and geese are raised, pigs are not raised, pigs are not easy to feed, and the family is busy.

The eldest grandson is studying at the official school, and the younger siblings have all gone to the library except for this little one. ”

The old man was still so happy to tell me about the general situation at home.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood, this family is powerful, and if they have land, they will collect rent, save some food, and at the same time, they don't have to do hard labor.

The key to saving money in the vegetable field is to have a student from the government school, and now the student is ready to go out at any time to change to someone else to manage the department store.

What the students are learning now is not only scriptures or anything, but also secondary, the main thing is how to lead the people to live a good life, and the practical knowledge is strong.

With such a grandson, the family will not be bad.

"Good!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and went to look at the others again, mainly looking at the complexion, and found that they were all good.

There are no cracks on the face or back of the hands, and the lips are not chapped.

If it wasn't for the children who came from the library, their faces were also red, and there were no small pimples at the corners of their mouths, which was angular cheilitis.

"Leave them for dinner at noon and send some more things." Zhu Yuanzhang commanded, all the people, no less than a few mouthfuls of food.

Turning his head, he said to the ministers again: "The people of Yingtianfu are living well, and the ministers in other places still have to work hard." ”

He knew the situation, some of these children came by themselves, from the nearby villages, and they didn't go to the library to live, it was too far away.

However, their family would go to the library to borrow books and come back to show them, and when they saw that there was an ice rink, they beckoned other friends to come and play.

Ask one and say that the father and mother in the family are busy, and ask another one is still the same.

Busy means that there is money to be made, it is winter, there is nothing to do under normal circumstances, winter is to stay at home, women do some housework, men get firewood, tidy up the yard.

Time is wasted, and there is no income.

When they were all busy, looking at the clothes and complexions on the children's bodies, they understood that their lives were better, at least they had cotton clothes to wear, and there was no shortage of meat to eat.

In other places, it is estimated that only the people of Ningguo Mansion can compare with it, and Taiping Mansion is not good.

The ministers naturally said yes, in fact, they just need to do their job well, and they can't help much.

They are accustomed to the long-standing mode of thinking, everyone is like that, all dynasties and dynasties, and suddenly they say that they have changed their methods, and they need a whole set of theoretical systems to support them.

They are generally dredging, repairing embankments, encouraging farming, and exempting land and labor when they are affected by disasters, and nothing else.

Some places have been affected by disasters, and if you want to open a warehouse to release grain, you just want to think about it, what to put if you don't have food?

Historically, Shandong has suffered from disasters in a row, and now the grass roots and bark should be eaten, so why don't you let go of food?

"Yichang, where did you say the money came from?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect the ministers to change anything, he put his hope on the masters of Xiaqiu Village.

"Your Majesty, naturally, we dig from the ground, select better seeds to plant, manage them in more reasonable ways, and take more perfect measures to assist.

When the yield per mu increases, there will be surplus materials, and the exchange of things for takeaway belongs to the surplus product, and the surplus product itself has its value.

As long as the logistics are good, then the surplus value will be used for exchange, thus increasing the total resources of the whole society.

The derivative product of grain is naturally meat, then the social division of labor begins, and the common people will engage in more specialized things, such as craftsmen.

To put it bluntly, it is a problem of the utilization rate of existing resources, and the resources are there, and better technology is used to transform more of what we need.

The use of water resources is a waterwheel, and people don't have to carry water anymore, and the time saved is used for other ......."

The governor briefly mentioned how things came about, production technology.

The transformation of production technology into productive forces is the basis for the improvement of the people's living standards.

Then there is the administrative side, to ensure that the stupid people can keep up with the ranks, to do a good job in social welfare, and to subsidize the money of the smart rich to the poor.

"Yes, it is to take the money of the rich to the poor, if you don't give it, the poor will rebel, if we have a meal to eat, can we still make a rebellion in the Yuan Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think it was wrong to rob some people of their money to another part of the people, it has been the same since ancient times.

Including civil and military officials, they also agree with this, and this is how taxes are collected! If the people grow something in their own homes and sell it, they will not be taxed, but the merchant will pay thirty taxes for selling things.
