Chapter 557: Li Shimin inspects the barracks
"One! Two! Three! Four! ”
"One, two, three, four!" With a uniform roar, followed by a dull and neat running sound of "bang" and "bang".
Uniform movements and sounds can always attract people's attention, even if the people of Yongpingfang have been accustomed to this group of soldiers who are said to have been trained by His Royal Highness King Qin for nearly a month, but when they ran over, the people still couldn't help but stop and watch.
Because even running can maintain such a neat and uniform movement, which has never been done in the government soldiers before.
These people all have short hair, and it was His Royal Highness the King of Qin who "cut the invention of the will" and said that the Tang Dynasty could not shock the world for a day, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin would not have long hair for a day. All the people are very moved, this is the prince! This is their Royal Highness King Qin!
And these government soldiers also followed His Royal Highness the King of Qin to do the same thing, they are all good! It's all gentlemen!
"Come, sing a song, five kilometers, start!"
"Five kilometers! I love you! Running every day! Good health! Running every day! You're handsome. If you don't run for a day, I want to kill you! Brothers, work hard, go back after running, add pork! Five kilometers, cure all diseases, don't run for a day, it's not exciting! ”
When the roar of the old man without skill came, the people around couldn't help but snicker, they can already sing this song, not to mention them, the children in the city follow five kilometers every day, I love you to sing.
At first, they didn't know what five kilometers was, but later they learned that five kilometers is ten miles of land, which is the distance that these soldiers have to run every day for training!
Run at least once a day! It may seem straightforward, but it's funny! It is said that this is also made up by His Royal Highness King Qin!
The clothes worn by these soldiers are also quite strange, at first everyone looked uncomfortable, but later the people also got used to it, and even some people who worked for His Royal Highness King Qin in the market made this style for their men when they made new clothes.
Wooden buttons have long existed, but no one has made such a straight up and straight down style of clothes, and wooden buttons are not used very much in Datang, they are mostly buttons sewn with strips of rags such as buttons and coiled buttons. It's just that looking at it now, it's quite good-looking, and many people naturally follow suit.
Entering April, the entire Chang'an City has also become busy, and like the people around Chang'an City, many people who have completed the cultivation of the fields, this time in previous years entered a farming period, but now they are starting to get busy again, because the Datang City that never sleeps has officially started!
Datang Sleepless City started half a month ago, and the main body of the construction project is similar to the main construction team of the previous part of Chang'an City, and after last year's road renovation, the craftsmen in charge of the construction of the project selected a group of excellent workers.
The monthly salary of these people has been improved, and the ordinary people are still working according to last year's monthly salary, but the monthly salary of this specially selected worker has been increased by 20%, mainly in order to let these people form a fixed job and train a group of professional road construction workers.
The ordinary workers were hired as temporary workers, mainly to assist in some work, and these long-term workers could be in command.
And with the start of the construction of the Datang Sleepless City, including the follow-up construction of Qinwangzhuang, the courtiers and Li Shimin of the entire Tang Dynasty found a very unacceptable thing.
There are not enough homeless people! Moreover, it is impossible for the monthly money of the workers in Chang'an City to return to the original amount of money now, because in that case, there will be no employability at all.
They never imagined that the problem of displaced people, which they thought could not be solved, was now not only solved, but the focus was ...... It's not enough, but it's okay?
The lack of displaced people has led to another consequence, that is, the number of non-numbered households in Chang'an has decreased dramatically.
This is no longer due to Li Ke's use of the so-called restrictions in the test area, but due to the employment environment in Chang'an.
What is the origin of the previous non-editorial? Aside from criminals and other non-self-imposed reasons, the vast majority of non-compilation households are children who cannot be supported by the people themselves, homeless people who encounter difficulties at home and cannot survive, children whose parents have died and sell themselves to bury their fathers, and almost all non-compilation households are nothing more than from these three types.
But at present, because of these huge projects in Chang'an, the number of workers in Chang'an has increased dramatically, and the monthly income is not too high, but even if you are a homeless person, as long as you work hard, you can support yourself.
As a result, the number of people who sell themselves, their bodies, or their children has decreased sharply, and there are naturally far fewer non-editors.
Many of them are sold to large families, aren't they all for the sake of making their children's lives better? But now as long as you work yourself, you can live better, who wants to become a non-editor?
Of course, if these gate valve families use the contract employment system to hire servants according to His Royal Highness King Qin's proposal, they can still be hired, but they are households, not non-households.
Although it is indeed quite common for the ancients to favor sons over daughters, even if they are daughters, they are all from their own family, who doesn't feel distressed? can be fed, most people are reluctant to sell.
As for some vicious parents, this kind of is a special case, and there are many similar vicious parents in developed countries for more than a thousand years, which cannot be considered as a public.
In the same way, Li Ke's increased monthly income and the large number of workers used led to an increase in commercial activities near Chang'an City by several times. When people have money, they always want to live a better life, and the sales of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, ironware, pottery, cloth and countless other daily necessities are also rising.
Even if these things don't need to be investigated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, all the officials and Li Shimin can see it, because the people on the street have more smiling faces and better clothes, and there are more businessmen coming and going to Chang'an City! Compared with last year, the housing prices in Chang'an City have increased by more than 30% in several important markets!
There is another more important signal that the Cao Canal excavated from the Wei River to the vicinity of Chang'an City has actually begun to block boats! The long fleet even blocked the Wei River!
When the business was activated, the simple supply and demand relationship quickly began to expand, and the consequence was that Li Shimin saw completely and more intuitively what the benefits of Li Ke's doing this were.
Those plans put on paper will deceive people, and those policies may be fake, but the chain reaction throughout Chang'an City and the prosperity of the people that can be seen with the naked eye are true! Can't fool anyone!
These changes made His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty completely unable to sit still, originally he didn't want to care about Li Ke's training, but now he especially wants to go to the barracks to see what Li Ke can practice.
