The city of Beiping is very small.

Most of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty was completely overthrown, and the newly established Yanwang Palace was not large, and it was not the later Bauhinia City.

The original building did not move it, and outside the original Beiping City, there was a new city, and no walls were built here.

It is closely linked to the new urban areas of Daxing County and Tong County, and the new city is home to at least 100,000 people.

Tens of thousands of new houses were built, mostly two-story buildings, facing the street and with courtyards behind them.

The surplus population in the countryside has been absorbed into the industrial area dominated by Daxing County, and the efficient and dense railways have given workers a new demand for housing purchases.

It's where they start families, have children, and work.

Over the past five years, more and more people have needed to buy their own houses, and they have the strength to do so.

The stability of the job and the high salary give them the confidence to buy a house, even if it is not enough for the time being, and some people will go to their families and friends for help.

The engineering department specializes in the construction of new cities.

Roads, forests, grasslands, trees, houses, schools, supply and marketing cooperatives, water towers, public toilets, platforms, medical centers, pharmacies, shops, etc......

Dai Deyi and Zhang Jifu walked around the new city.

"The houses here are not worried about selling, and even because of the lack of housing, some people can't buy them if they want to." Zhang Jifu is very familiar with Beiping.

The Joint Office of the Military-Industrial Complex took over everything in the military, including warehousing.

Zhang Jifu no longer had to introduce the situation of the warehouse to Zhu Gaochi as he did two years ago, but he was not idle.

He is now also the manager of the Joint Office of the Military Industry, responsible for supervision.

The streets of the new city are paved with large stone bricks, which are flat and straight, no worse than the avenues of Yingtianfu, and large trees are planted on both sides of the road.

Dai Deyi was no longer shocked.

These days, he has seen too many unusual things.

The city has no walls, which makes him insecure, "Why not build walls?" ”

"The economic role of the walls is not very large, it is a military necessity, and the construction of the walls is very expensive and requires a lot of resources, including future maintenance."

"The little prince thinks that it is better to invest this huge resource in the construction of the army, which not only improves the combat effectiveness of the army, but also saves social resources, and with the saved social resources, more social development can be improved."

Dai Deyi disagreed, "When you are strong, you naturally don't need the city wall, but you can spend no 100 days, and people don't have a thousand days." ”

"And without the protection of the city wall, the Tatars on the steppe invaded the interior, and what did the common people rely on to hide?"

"Castles that play a military role are built on the frontier, and Beiping is no longer considered northern Xinjiang, so there is no need for city walls."

Zhang Jifu explained.

Dai Deyi still couldn't agree, but he didn't say more.

Unlike what people expected, he did not go directly to the guard to investigate the case, but chose to stay in Beiping City.

What kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, people don't know.

At regular intervals, there are public toilets in prominent places on the main street.

Unlike in the mainland, there are many women on the streets of Peiping, and the public toilets are also divided into men's and women's toilets, which are cleaned by workers who specialize in collecting manure.

"Although the industry of collecting manure is avoided, this industry is very profitable, as long as you can endure the stench, you can get a good reward, in the Song Dynasty, relying on this industry to feed a lot of wealth."

"In the past, Beiping was originally used for forced labor according to regulations, and the common people who served the forced labor were allocated a part of it to collect manure in the city, and then distribute it to the farmers."

"Later, after the little prince discussed with the feudal lord, this conscription was cancelled and subcontracted to merchants who were willing to take over."

Zhang Jifu is an old official in Beiping, and he knows the changes up and down in Beiping, and he can say a thing or two about everything.

Ordinary people, even workers, cannot have more comprehensive access to information than Zhang Jifu, which is due to his official position.

Officials are destined to receive more information than ordinary people.

"It seems that your clan is very supportive of the little prince." Dai Deyi asked keenly.

"I can't talk about support, this is Beiping, and the words of the palace are more influential, and the sage has issued orders to empower the palace many times."

Zhang Jifu answered the question.

On such a sensitive topic, he will not leave the handle.

"This is the urban economy built by China Heavy Industries, and I heard that it is the inevitable way to the future." Zhang Jiep quickly changed the subject.

"Each new city has brought huge benefits to China Heavy Industries, but the engineering department has not increased the housing price due to the demand of the market according to the instructions of the headquarters."

"There are more people buying houses than existing houses, how do you solve it?" Dai Deyi asked curiously.

He knows that the common people are afraid of losses, and they are even more afraid of inequality.

The logic of some things cannot be explained by the truth of the market.

For example, if the issue of the allocation of this house is not handled well, it will cause a lot of dissatisfaction.

"According to the needs of the factory, the lottery and the qualifications of the workers will be used to obtain the housing purchase index."

"Those who are married, with children are given priority."

"Then some of the indicators will flow to the market and be provided to people outside China Heavy Industries."

"According to the plan of China Heavy Industry, each new urban area in Beiping should absorb at least 500,000 talents to complete the initial goal."

"Half a million people."

Dai Deyi couldn't help but repeat the number.

Zhang Jifu said with a smile: "When there are 500,000 people here, it also shows that the first stage of industrialization of China Heavy Industry has been perfectly achieved." ”

"Anyway, now the planning of China Heavy Industry is becoming more and more incomprehensible to people who don't understand it."

"I've heard that there are a lot of exquisitenesses in it, and it indicates a lot of changes and results, but I don't know what is going on."

Dai Deyi nodded, thinking in his heart, no wonder Lian Zining's speed of setting up a factory in Yingtianfu was far less than that of Beiping.

It seems that the talent of the prince of Yan Wang is beyond people's imagination, and what he shows is not such a simple truth as it seems.

"Are you willing to go to Ying Tianfu?"

Dai Deyi asked suddenly.

Zhang Jifu was at a loss when he heard Dai Deyi's question, and soon an inexplicable emotion arose in his heart, with pride in being recognized and some worries.

"You don't want to?" Dai Deyi saw that Zhang Jifu did not answer for a long time, and said temptingly: "Lian Zining of the Ministry of Industry wants to imitate Beiping in Yingtianfu, but there is a lack of experienced officials. ”。

"Although you and I have dealt with each other for only a few days, but you are familiar with Beiping, I believe that Lian Zining needs you, and you will have a better future if you go to the Ministry of Industry."

Ultimately.

Zhang Jifu shook his head and said with a discouraged smile: "Although I know a lot of things in Beiping, I don't understand the truth very well. ”

Dai Deyi did not persuade again.

During his time in Beiping, he somewhat understood why King Yan left Beiping, while Beiping was still stable.

It turns out that there is another character in Beiping.

Yan Shizi.

This person is the same key as King Yan, with Yan Shizi here, Beiping will not fall into chaos because of King Yan's departure.

"There is going to be a war in Beiping." Zhang Jifu finally said what was in his heart, "Brother Dai is a great person, and he should understand that the current Beiping cannot be chaotic." ”

Dai Deyi nodded, he didn't have the idea of starting with the army.

His predecessor had a big run into trouble in the army.

The biggest concern about anything is the first time, and since there is a first time, it doesn't matter if there is a second time or a third time.

Those "mutiny" sergeants were saved by the Yan Wangfu, which gave the army confidence.

If he continues to go to the guard, I am afraid that the end will be the second Ye Xixian.

Leaving the new city, Dai Deyi went to visit Yan Yu.

This person who is obviously the political envoy of the political secretary and the head of a provincial official is low-key and subconsciously ignored.

Yan Yu learned that Dai Deyi had come to the door and smiled bitterly.

He did not refuse Dai Deyi.

The two met at the public house of the Chief Minister's Yamen.

One sits behind the desk, and the other sits in the back chair in front of him.

"It seems that Yan Fantai is a practical official and does not take the overall situation into account." Dai Deyi gets straight to the point.

Yan asked calmly, "What is the overall situation?" ”

Dai Deyi looked at Yan Yu quietly, and Yan Yu also looked at Dai Deyi quietly.

They are all from the country.

are all in their thirties, middle-level officials created by Zhu Yuanzhang.

It was Zhu Yuanzhang who planned that after his death, he left a group of young and powerful officials with profound experience in managing the country for the Ming Dynasty.

This is the layout of his old age, which began in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu and after the death of the crown prince.

This group of officials has not really come to the forefront, and they have a common characteristic, in the 29th year of Hongwu, most of them were between 30 and 35 years old.

The prosperous Yongle era with a strong and brilliant future and rich people's livelihood is not only built by Zhu Di, but also built by many officials in the local area and countless hard-working people.

At that time.

Even people with disabilities who are born are specially examined by local officials.

In the case of eye diseases, we will arrange work that only requires effort, and if there is still workforce, we will arrange work that they can do.

It is important for them to learn from an early age and master the skills to survive in the future.

If they are really disabled people who do not have a working force, their father will be ordered to keep them at home, and if there are no close relatives, their relatives will be ordered.

If there are no relatives, they will be raised in the institutions built by the Ming Dynasty in various cities, and pigs and chickens and ducks will be raised in the institutions, but they will not be able to go out but will survive.

These disabled people have no choice but to spend their lives according to the government's arrangements and learning skills from an early age.

There are officials like Zhang Lian who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are also officials like Zhang Jifu who go with the flow.

Of course, there are more local officials like Su Guan who have taken refuge in the powerful.

But there are also officials like Yan Yu.

"What's the big picture?" Yan Yu questioned Dai Deyi again.

Dai Deyi was speechless.

Before he saw Beiping, he could say a lot of big truths to answer Yan Dut, but now Dai Deyi couldn't say it.

"My overall situation is the people, and the people's well-being is my overall situation." Yan said loudly.

"In the three years since I took office in Beiping, I have only done one thing."

"Lead the people to cultivate the fields."

"I have reclaimed a million acres, and then reclaimed another million acres, I have no other ability, I will only do this one thing."

Zhu Di's wish is to make the country rich and the people safe, and after he became the emperor, he issued an edict to the world, but there are also many scholars who also have such wishes.

Five hundred years later.

There are also countless scholars who have fought for the nation one after another.

The corners of Dai Deyi's mouth curled up and smiled silently, without saying anything more, and finally left the Yamen of the Political Secretary.

He finally knew the reason for Gao Mian's real failure of Ye Xixian.

They thought that they were only fighting against the royal government, and they took it for granted that they had the support of civil officials.

Actually.

They didn't even know what the enemy was.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles.

That's the way to victory.
