"one two three four!"
"One, two, three, four!" followed by a uniform roar, followed by the dull and uniform sound of "bang" and "bang" running.
Uniform movements and sounds can always attract people's attention. Even though the people of Yongpingfang have been accustomed to this group of soldiers who are said to be trained by His Highness King Qin for nearly a month, when they came running over, the people Still couldn't help but stop and watch.
Because even running can maintain such uniform movements, which has never been seen before in Fu Bing.
These people all have short hair. His Highness the King of Qin's "hair-cutting ambition" said that if the Tang Dynasty cannot be powerful all over the world, His Highness the King of Qin will not have long hair. All the people were very moved, this is the prince! This is their King Qin!
And these soldiers also did the same thing as His Highness King Qin, they are all good! They are all men!
"Come on, sing a song, five kilometers, let's start!"
"Five kilometers! I love you! Run every day! You are in good health! Run every day! You are so handsome. If you don't run for a day, I will miss you to death! Brothers, work harder. After running, come back and run Pork! Five kilometers, it can cure all diseases. If you don’t run for a day, you won’t feel good!”
When the old man's unskilled roar came, the people around him couldn't help but chuckle. They could already sing this song. Let alone them, the children in Fangshi followed it for five kilometers every day. Yeah, I love you singing.
At first they didn't know what five kilometers was, but later they learned that five kilometers was ten miles, which was the distance these soldiers had to run every day in training!
Run at least once a day! Although this seems to be a bit straightforward, it is quite interesting! It is said that this was also compiled by His Highness King Qin!
The clothes worn by these soldiers were also quite weird. At first, everyone was not used to it, but later the people got used to it. Even some people who worked for His Highness the King of Qin in the market were making new clothes. They all made this style for their men.
Wooden buttons have been around for a long time, but no one made clothes in such a straight up and down style, and not many wooden buttons were used in the Tang Dynasty. They were all made of strips of rags such as belt buttons and knotted buttons. Mostly buttons. But now that I look at it, it looks pretty good, so many people naturally followed suit.
Entering April, the entire city of Chang'an has become busy. For example, the people around Chang'an City, many of whom have completed plowing and planting, entered a slack period at this time in previous years, but now they are busy again. , because the construction of Datang Evernight City has officially started!
The construction of Evernight City in the Tang Dynasty started half a month ago. The main body of the construction project is similar to the main construction team that was used to build Chang'an City. After the road renovation last year, the craftsmen responsible for the construction of the project selected a group of outstanding workers. .
The monthly wages of this group of people have been increased. Ordinary people still work according to the monthly wages of last year, but the monthly wages of these specially selected workers have been increased by 20%, mainly to allow these people to form regular jobs. , to train a group of professional road construction workers.
Ordinary workers are hired as temporary workers, mainly to assist in some work, and these long-term workers can take command.
As the construction of the Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty began, including the subsequent construction of Qinwangzhuang, the courtiers and Li Shimin of the entire Tang Dynasty discovered something very unacceptable.
There are not enough refugees! Moreover, it is impossible for the monthly wages of workers in Chang'an City to return to their original amount, because in that case, no one will be hired at all.
They never expected that the refugee problem that they thought was unsolvable was not only solved, but the point was... it was not enough. Is that okay?
The insufficient number of refugees has led to another result, which is that the number of unregistered households in Chang'an has dropped sharply.
This is no longer due to the restrictions on Li Ke's use of the so-called test area, but to the working environment in Chang'an.
What was the origin of the previous non-registered households? Aside from criminals and other non-individual reasons, the vast majority of non-registered households are the children of ordinary people who cannot support themselves, refugees whose families have encountered difficulties and cannot survive, children whose parents have died or sold their bodies to bury their fathers, etc. Almost all of them are The number of non-registered households comes from these three types.
However, due to these huge projects in Chang'an, the number of workers in Chang'an has increased sharply. Not to mention how high the monthly salary is, but even homeless people who have nothing can support themselves as long as they work hard.
This has resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of people selling themselves, their bodies, or their children, and the number of non-registered households is naturally much smaller.
Many of them are sold to wealthy families, aren't they all to make their children live a better life? But now that you can live a better life as long as you work by yourself, who wants to become an unregistered household?
Of course, if these aristocratic families adopt the contract employment system to hire servants as proposed by His Highness King Qin, they can still hire servants, but they are registered households, not unofficial households.
Although it is indeed common for ancient people to favor sons over daughters, even if they are daughters, they belong to their own family. Who doesn't feel sad? Most people are unwilling to sell if they can make a living.
As for some vicious parents, this is a special case. There have been many similar vicious parents in developed countries for more than a thousand years. This cannot be considered as a general rule.
And similarly, Li Ke's increased monthly income and the large number of workers used led to the increase in commercial activities near Chang'an City by more than several times? When people have money, they always want to live a better life, and the sales of countless daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, ironware, pottery, cloth, etc. are also constantly rising.
Even if the Ministry of Civil Affairs does not need to investigate these things, all officials and Li Shimin can see it, because the people on the street have more smiling faces, are better dressed, and there are more businessmen traveling to and from Chang'an City! Compared with last year, house prices in Chang'an City have increased by more than 30% in several important cities!
There is another, more important signal: the canal dug from the Wei River to near Chang'an City has actually begun to block ships! The long fleet even blocked the Wei River!
When business was activated, the simple relationship between supply and demand quickly began to expand, and the result was that Li Shimin thoroughly and more intuitively saw the benefits of Li Ke's doing so.
Those plans put on paper may be deceptive, 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 real! You 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 military training, but now he really wanted to visit the barracks to see what Li Ke could train.
