“Oh my god, is this what Peiping is today?”
"We are really like frogs at the bottom of a well, never seeing the light of day."
"The flowers are blooming like brocade, and the prosperous age is like a raging fire!"
After watching the movie, the officials all stayed where they were, sighing and unable to calm down for a long time.
Compared with Peiping, other places seem to be two different worlds.
Everyone there can earn a lot of gains and live a good life through their own labor.
Although I don’t know what a factory is, the workers there actually earn five taels of silver a month.
There are also various benefits during holidays, which is on par with many court officials.
The land has also been evenly distributed. Farming is no longer the only means of livelihood for the people. In addition, those who work as workers, those who do small business, and those who breed and breed, all perform their duties and receive rewards.
It is simply unimaginable that a small vendor selling stinky tofu can earn three hundred taels of silver a year.
Even unparalleled delicacies were impossible in the past. Only when all the people had money in their pockets could so many people buy such non-necessities.
No wonder the current treasury tax revenue has risen to tens of millions of taels of silver. If the people are so rich, how can the country not be rich?
And all of this is the credit of the National Preceptor, who has done such great things.
It has simply changed the country's, country's, and society's pattern for thousands of years.
"National Master, I, Li Jinglong, are right to follow you!"
After watching the movie, Li Jinglong once again admired what Li Xiao had done.
Before, he was shocked at why Peiping was so prosperous and why goods were so cheap, but with his status, he couldn't see the people below.
Now this movie allows him to understand all kinds of living things. It turns out that behind the prosperity, there are living people.
They are either farmers, small traders, or factory workers. Everyone's work is intertwined, ultimately creating the prosperous Peiping.
"We are all ministers. We all serve the court and the Ming Dynasty. I am just doing my best."
Li Xiao smiled, cupped his hands toward the sky and replied.
The implication is that what he did was never for personal reasons, but for the sake of the people's livelihood and the Ming Dynasty.
"The Imperial Master, the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty is truly selfless and the pillar of the country."
"With cold brows and cold eyes, he bows his head and is willing to be a bully! This is the hand of the national master."
"It's a shame that I had complaints against the Imperial Master before. Now that I think about it, I feel extremely ashamed and unbearable. I'm not as good as that!"
Seeing this scene, other officials also admired him.
I began to understand the Imperial Master in my heart, and also vaguely looked forward to it. If Nanjing could become the next Peiping, that would be a good thing.
In the movie scenes, in addition to the fact that the people have enough food and clothing, they are educated, they are paid for their work, their illnesses are treated, they are taken care of when they are old, and they have a place to live.
The officials were all discussing the future structure of the world below.
Obviously, once the National Master's reform is successful, the whole world will be completely new, and everyone will also have to think about the future and how to do things in the future.
As for the officials supported by the local powerful, they were also discussing in low voices what the families behind them should do in the future.
"If the arm can't twist the thigh, I think we should persuade the family to compromise as soon as possible and reap the benefits."
A household doctor whispered that his family was a small landowner in a town in Hangzhou Prefecture. Although it was far away from Nanjing, it was still within the scope of the reform.
"That's right. It's no wonder that the Supreme Emperor and the Holy One are so supportive of the National Master. Everyone has seen it in the movie just now. The Supreme Emperor is people-oriented. Of course he is willing to support it in such a prosperous age. We must also understand the Holy Will."
"As expected, this movie will be watched by all the people in South Zhili. I found that many district yamen are now building villager activity centers, where people can watch mobile movies."
"If the people see this movie, they will not be content with their current life. They must be yearning for this kind of life. And I heard that the power plant is now recruiting a large number of workers, and each village and housing estate has also begun to set up some village enterprises to recruit workers everywhere. Those tenants We all must have gone to work in factories, who would want to be a tenant farming?"
"Yes, this is simply a chain of steps. The Imperial Master has already thought of the steps. The most critical step is to install the dormitory area. He has already done it. All future government orders can be issued to the dormitory area. district and reach every citizen.”
"So, the matter has been taken care of by the National Master?"
"Isn't that right? We'd better make plans in advance."
The officials were a small circle, gathering together to communicate and discuss with each other without even noticing that Li Xiao had walked over.
"It's so lively. What are you talking about?"
Li Xiao said aloud.
When the sound came, everyone was shocked.
Zhao Jingkun, Minister of the Ministry of War, hid it: "We didn't talk about anything, we just talked about movies."
Li Xiao smiled and patted his shoulder: "Zhao Shangshu, how is the movie?"
Zhao Jingkun nodded and said: "Okay, very good. It's even more magical than a train. It can actually produce a portrait of a real person. It's exactly the same as a real person. It's a miracle. I even doubt that you are a god, otherwise how could you create such a portrait?" When such a magical thing comes out, Master, please tell me, are you a god?"
"What gods, feudal superstition."
Li Xiao said angrily: "Zhao Shangshu, please don't change the subject. I'm asking you, what do you think of the current Peking in the movie?"
Zhao Jingkun took a deep breath and said sternly: "I'll tell you the truth, Imperial Master. It's shocking. I have never been to Peking, but the movie shows all the living beings in Peiping, the past dynasties, and the world over thousands of years." , seemed to have changed drastically in an instant, and the official felt that his brain was not enough."
After the words fell, others nodded in approval.
My brain really can't keep up.
Not to mention that they all hold high positions and are powerful, but Peiping under Li Xiao's transformation is almost close to the level of the Republic of China. It suddenly entered a semi-industrial society from a feudal society. This is a sense of conceptual gap.
The people in Peiping have changed gradually and subtly, so the feelings are not so profound.
But these officials suddenly encountered this semi-industrial society, which was somewhat beyond their scope of understanding.
Same reason.
Even Li Xiao himself, if he suddenly watches a movie, which is not a movie to be precise, but a scene similar to naked-eye 3D, which presents a future cyberpunk society that is beyond Li Xiao's cognitive scope, Li Xiao will definitely watch it. A sense of surprise occurs.
In fact, if Li Xiao continues to develop like this, when he returns to the future next time, the entire future may have changed, and he may really enter an unimaginable future technological society.
Because at this moment, technology has already been planted on earth in advance, and the seeds were planted in the Ming Dynasty. With what Li Xiao came up with, it is equivalent to developing hundreds of years ahead of schedule.
A few hundred years from now, maybe people will be able to fly into the sky on a motorcycle, or maybe humans will be able to drive a spaceship and leave the earth or the galaxy.
Of course, these are things for later. Li Xiao is still in the process of industrializing the Ming Dynasty. These technologies are all within Li Xiao's cognitive scope.
Li Xiao smiled and looked at Zhao Jingkun and said: "Zhao Shangshu, China has been changing for thousands of years, and you are still silent in the past. This will not work."
After speaking, he looked at the other officials and said, "And you, accept the changes of the times and embrace the new era."
Everyone was dumbfounded and couldn't quite understand what Li Xiao said.
Zhao Jingkun didn't understand either, but he was a pragmatic person and whispered: "National Master, tell us the truth. The next step is to target these big households in South Zhili, right? How do you plan to deal with it?"
Li Xiao smiled and said: "Those who conform to the times live, and those who resist will naturally not have a good end. The Xu family was an example before. They even produced flintlock guns. Are you really a national master who will not investigate this matter? If you obey , I don’t care about what happened before, if you don’t obey, hehe, let alone our master, who can withstand the anger of the Supreme Emperor?”
The implication is that if we follow the national policy, even if these families really hide flintlock guns, there is room for relaxation, but if they resist, the result will be confiscation of their homes and extermination.
Zhao Jingkun's expression changed, but the old fox quickly regained his composure, rubbed his hands, and said flatteringly: "Master, you must be obedient. Now let alone Nanzhili, looking at the whole world, who dares to disobey? and you?
In fact, although these large households had a lot of land and controlled the right to speak below, they had also contributed to the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention anything else, in the late 30s of the Yuan Dynasty, when the Supreme Emperor was still a prince, the Nanzhili family provided a large amount of food, grass, silver, and people.
The Emperor's victory in the world was due to these big households, don't you think?
"Xiaguan" means to obey first and to obey later. What's the difference?"
Zhao Jingkun said so much, but finally the last sentence was the key point.
In the adult world, there are no emotions, only interests. This sentence is not true at all.
It is human nature for Zhao Jingkun to consider the family behind him.
He is in a high position and can hear the rumors best. Even if he really reforms all the families, he still has to seek more benefits.
"Well?" Li Xiao smiled slightly: "Zhao Shangshu, who are you asking this for?"
Zhao Jingkun chuckled: "The Imperial Master should know that he is asking for my eldest brother."
Li Xiaopi smiled and said: "It seems that you still attach great importance to family ties. Since we are officials in the same dynasty, I understand that people should not tell secrets and obey first. Naturally, there will be a lot of benefits. If you get these The good thing is, maybe the Zhao family can develop even bigger. Zhao Shangshu, you have to advise your eldest brother not to go against the court or get into trouble with my master, who is a very reasonable person."
After hearing these words, Zhao Jingkun's expression changed drastically, and his heart was filled with turbulent waves.
With these benefits, will the Zhao family become stronger?
Is what the Imperial Preceptor said true or false? Isn't the ultimate goal of the Imperial Preceptor to find ways to eliminate these local hidden dangers so as not to affect the imperial power?
And he would never have thought that Li Xiao had never had this idea.
Because the rules of this world are the 82 rules. There will always be a small group of people standing at the top of the pyramid, and a small group of people control most of the resources.
This is difficult to change, and no country will be able to do it even in the future, because of human nature.
What Li Xiao wants to change is the current land structure, not to destroy these big families.
These big families just exist in a different way. Whether it is human resources or financial resources, they are still useful.
What they want to lose is land resources.
What Li Xiao wanted to do was to transform them all from landlords to businessmen.
Feudal dynasties were divided and reunified mostly because of land.
No matter when, food is always the most important. If you have control of food, you have control of everything.
Only when the imperial court controls all the land can it have absolute say and right to rule, so that it can use the machine of the state to control the country well.
Instead of a small number of people controlling a large amount of land, the court could only rely on a small amount of land to squeeze more people, which ultimately led to people's livelihood and rebellions.
This is Li Xiao's plan to let the country control all the land. As for what will happen to these businessmen no matter how rich they are in the future.
The imperial court is very easy to control, so there is nothing to worry about. Not to mention the current feudal dynasty society, even in the future China, it will be easy to control businessmen.
"National Master, what do you mean by this is that there are more benefits to obeying first?"
Zhao Jingkun whispered: "You see we are all so familiar. Can you reveal what it is and can it make the family stronger?"
Li Xiao smiled slightly and whispered: "You are the Minister of the Ministry of War. Let me tell you, don't tell anyone else, for example, the agency rights of the Beiping Weaving Factory or even the design of high-efficiency textile machines. Drawings, approval documents for opening a textile factory.”
hiss!!!
Zhao Jingkun took a breath of cold air.
No wonder it is said to be something that can make the family stronger.
Those high-tech, core gadgets in Peiping.
Those things brought prosperity, the treasury was full, and rich people sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
After all, just farming, even if there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, can't be exchanged for much silver. In addition to owning fields, big families also have their own industries.
If the land must be handed over, it must be handed over early and late. It is better to hand it over early and in exchange for these benefits, it can really strengthen the family and be far ahead of its peers.
"National Master, are you serious about this?"
"When did my master tell lies??"
"Thank you, Imperial Master."
This was the first time that Zhao Jingkun said thank you to Li Xiao.
As the movie ended, he rode a fast horse towards his family.
Apparently he planned to tell his eldest brother and father the news. Other officials also heard it and left one after another, heading straight for their families.
"It seems that this will be over soon."
Li Xiao was extremely emotional and said to himself.
It has been almost a year since I came to Nanjing, and it is finally bearing fruit.
Immediately, very soon, it will explode.
Then, it swept the country.
In the following time, Li Xiao arranged for Zhu Yunwen and several mobile film teams to start going into towns and villages and start broadcasting this film that records the happy life of the people of Peiping.
A new pattern, a new era, is about to sweep across the earth.
Li Xiao doesn't know what the future direction of the Ming Dynasty will be, but he can do his best to change everything in the present and in front of him.
Let the Ming Dynasty be immortal and spread forever, let tragedies never happen again, and make China more prosperous and prosperous! (End of chapter)
