The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 192
Runxue heralds a prosperous year.

On the city wall, the white snow is like plucking cotton, dancing pear blossoms, leaving a layer of translucent and crystal clear after being drawn at night.

The rules of the palace are strict, and the Sixth Bureau is busy, preparing for the New Year's etiquette, and the most aloof among them is Zhu Gaochi.

As a prince, Zhu Di must participate, but with his laissez-faire, Zhu Gaochi has great autonomy and can do things according to his own wishes.

on the street.

The servants organized by the government cleared the snow on the ground.

Walking on the clean street, Zhu Gaochi felt very comfortable, followed by Li Biao and Zhang Quan, who were puzzled by Zhu Gaochi's joy.

"Don't underestimate hygiene, it represents civilization." Zhu Gaochi explained.

There are many pedestrians in the city.

Before the New Year's Eve, many people went to the city to buy New Year's goods, and the shops were smiling from ear to ear, exuding enthusiasm from the inside out.

Chinese New Year is coming, and people are more friendly and tolerant than ever.

"Health?" Li Biao was puzzled.

"Do you see if the street is clean?" Among the pedestrians, Zhu Gaochi pointed to the ground.

In fact, compared with the standards of civilized cities in the future, Zhu Gaochi does not feel that there is anything outstanding, but this is Daming.

"It's neat."

"But this neatness is also the result of thousands of years of hard work by the ancestors."

Zhu Gaochi explained: "After development, in the Tang Dynasty, the "Tang Laws and Discussions" was enacted, and punishments were formulated for the behavior of dumping garbage anywhere and the behavior that is unfavorable to supervision. If it is serious, it will be punished with [-] boards."

"There are people in the city who specialize in cleaning up excrement for survival, and the so-called 360-line, the best in every line of work, don't think that those who do this line of work are all bitter haha, some people have become very rich because of it."

Li Biao and Zhang Quan felt incredible.

As far as the servants in the city are responsible for cleaning up the excrement, they really can't figure out how these people can get rich.

Zhu Gaochi smiled.

Why does he like to explain history to the people around him, because it can improve national awareness.

What is national consciousness?It existed in ancient times.

For example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the old slaves slaughtered the Liao people, they called the people of Ming Dynasty Han people and said they killed Han people.

Liu Xingzuo, who has awakened national consciousness, the master of Jin, Fu, Hai, and Gai, the most trusted Han general of the old slave, and Huang Taiji's favorite brother, took the initiative to contact the Ming court to submit to the Ming Dynasty, which made the Emperor Ming unbelievable.

In the absence of external support, when the internal Houjin reused him and trusted him the most, he still held high the banner of anyway, which shocked the entire Houjin.

In the end, this person was exiled to Jinjiang Town, and later returned to China.In the battle to defend the capital, he led 800 people to support him.

After hearing the news, the Jin army hated him too much, and went all out to kill him. After several battles, Huang Taiji personally ordered that he must be killed.

After learning that this person was buried, he still couldn't let go of his hatred, so he ordered the body to be pulled out and dismembered.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi wants to instill history in the people around him, and he needs it even more when he is in a high position.

The ancestors had national consciousness, but the level was not enough. How to improve people's national consciousness.

history.

A person who does not understand history, his feelings for the nation are definitely not as deep as those who understand history and love history.

And a nation without national consciousness has absolutely no future, and the whole nation will definitely experience suffering, and then be eliminated from the jungle of the world.

So what is history?
Zhu Gaochi said to Li Biao and Zhang Quan: "It is recorded in "Taiping Guangji", "Pei Mingli, a native of Hedong, is good at managing business. He collects discarded things from the world and accumulates them. With this, his family fortune is huge. ""

"In the Song Dynasty, the "Street Department" was established, which was specially set up to manage the urban environmental sanitation. It was responsible for recruiting "cleaners". Cleaning up household garbage, etc.”

"So the living environment you are accustomed to is the civilization left by the ancestors. You must know that Fanwai is not like this."

"The world is very big, and many countries live in an environment where the streets are full of feces. 50 years ago, because the environment in western cities was too dirty, western countries were all caught in a disease called the black death. It pervades the entire West, and in this epidemic, the death toll is only one-third of the population of the entire West."

Li Biao and Zhang Quan couldn't believe it even more, Zhang Quan said in shock: "It sounds uncomfortable, living in the environment of feces and urine, who can bear it.

"I followed the prince to Beiping from Yingtianfu. I passed through a county where the environment was extremely bad. The prince even scolded me severely and refused to enter the city."

"At that time, I thought that this county was already the worst in the whole world. After hearing what the little prince said today, it turned out to be quite good."

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said nothing.

That’s for sure, otherwise, during the Wanli period, those arrogant missionaries who came to the West in the age of great voyages, why would they praise Daming as an ideal country.

However, many civilizations are small boats in the long river of history, just like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat. In the Qing Dynasty, foreigners at that time evaluated it as an ignorant country.

Therefore, everyone must contribute their strength to civilization, because it is not only for others, but also for themselves.

After all, a nation has been doomed since birth, and it cannot be changed. Even if you go to another country, no matter how good or bad your life is, the label is still the same.

"It's unbelievable that a person who collects dung can also become a huge fortune." Li Biao still couldn't accept it.

"This is created by the social model. Although our Ming Dynasty said that the Song system was restored, it is still somewhat different from the production model of the Song Dynasty."

Zhu Gaochi explained.

The three of them walked into a grocery store. On the side of the store near the window, there was a new-style coal stove with a kettle on it.

The heat from the new coal stove made the store a little warmer. After entering, the three of them only felt warm.

"Guest officer, what do you want to buy?" The man came up and asked with a warm smile.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the merchandise.

Compared with the past, there are more types of commodities in Beiping City, which is a good thing and proves that productivity is improving.

After picking out a few playthings, Zhang Quan paid for them, and Li Biao helped hold them.

It's Chinese New Year, buy some things to go back home, give them to sisters and sisters, make them happy, and Zhu Di feels comfortable after seeing it.

As a father, Zhu Di will definitely hope that his heir will value the relationship between brothers and sisters.

soon.

Officials and military generals from various guards came to the palace in an endless stream to meet and congratulate the prince, and the family members of various families also came to visit the princess.

There was a lot of traffic in front of the entire Wangfu, and the gift-giving frames stretched for several miles, and the main street in front of the Wangfu was blocked.

There are nearly forty guards in Beiping Province, Kaiping guards, Daning guards, and even Jinzhou guards.

There are five thousand households in a Weizhong, plus officials from deputy thousand households, up to hundreds of officials.

As for the hundred households, except for some high-qualified ones, there is basically no qualification to visit the door.

But this year there are more avenues.

A few clever hundred households tried to submit invitations to Shizifu, which attracted the attention of officials with less than a thousand households.

Wang Zhen is a smart man, he visited the young prince as a forest farm, got an interview, and entered the Shizi Mansion.

Outsiders don't know, they only think that he entered the palace as a hundred households, no matter what tricks, it is a good move to enter the palace.

If he can enter the palace, it proves that he is one of the palace's own people.

Therefore, the hundreds of households who got the news this year were either well prepared, or rushed to the streets to buy gifts and go the way of the Prince's Mansion.

The streets of Wangfu were already not enough, and the number of gift givers suddenly increased ten times compared to previous years, which caused Changshifu a headache.

"The salary of a hundred households is not as good as that of a thousand households, so it can't cause new problems." Zhu Di said worriedly after learning about it.

Officials from more than a thousand households sent gifts to the palace, and the palace accepted the gifts, and both parties were very happy.

If the palace doesn't accept it, not only will it not make the thousands of households happy and feel that they have saved a lot of money, but it will make them alienate from the palace, worrying that they are not their own.

If this kind of human relationship is extended to a hundred households, Zhu Di is afraid that the hundred households will raid the military households for the sake of gifts.

Jin Zhong said with a smile: "Based on my subordinate's understanding of the young prince, the young prince should be prepared. Even if there is negligence, the talented people around the young prince will remind the young prince."

"Look at it more." Zhu Di said worriedly, this matter should not be underestimated.

Building a new layer of political relations with the lower classes made Zhu Di feel happy, but at the same time, he became a little nervous because he paid too much attention to it.

The Shizi Mansion is on the east side of the three halls, close to the Tiren Gate on the East Street, so hundreds of households do not go through the front door, go directly to the East Street, enter through the Tiren Gate, and then go to the Shizi Mansion.

"On this matter, please ask brother-in-law to come forward." Zhu Gaochi said to Yuan Rong in front of him.

Yuan Rong is already considered a member of the palace.

He has been running around for the palace all year, mainly for himself, the Yuan family is so happy, of course they will not object.

"This matter is not publicized. It can neither be posted to cause impeachment, nor can it be rejected outright, so as not to hurt the hearts of hundreds of households."

"The hundred households of Yanshanwei can be stricter, let the hundred households of Yanshanwei take the lead and form unspoken rules."

Yuan Rong quickly came up with an idea.

"Just do as you say." Zhu Gaochi delegated power and was strict with the hundreds of households in Yanshanwei, precisely because of his closeness.

The most trusted people of the palace must be the Yanshanwei people, and the most promoted people are also the Yanshanwei people, so naturally they have more requirements.

The Shizi Mansion kept silent about the gift giving.

But all the hundreds of households in Yanshanwei suddenly changed to light gifts, no more than three renminbi, what can three renminbi buy?
Many people feel that they can't make a move, but all the hundreds of households in Yanshanwei are like this, and the rest of them dare not make decisions without authorization.

In short, a tacit understanding has gradually been formed, and the gift to the Shizi Mansion is limited to three coins.

Many people make up their minds on the three coins.

Since you don’t want to be expensive, start with your heart and try your best to send some gifts that can express your heart.

One hundred households had a whimsical idea, organized the cooperation between their guards and the military household economic cooperatives into a booklet, and sent it to the Shizifu along with the gifts.

When Zhu Gaochi received this brochure, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and he took the initiative to summon the hundred-household official.

There are 50 people in one hundred households alone in a guard, not counting hundreds of households, then adding up, there are thousands of people.

Although people give gifts to the Prince's Mansion, it is actually difficult to see the little prince alone, which is much more intense than the competition among thousands of households.

With this honor, this person's future is more assured.
