Listening to Emperor Yongle's words, Lu Yuan said with a funny face:
"How can it be possible? Luxi has only been developed for four months, how can it be more prosperous than the Imperial City?
This is an industrial area, with factory dormitories everywhere. The lights are on at night.
That's why it looks more prosperous than the Imperial City. "
dormitory?
Factory area?
industrial area?
Emperor Yongle could roughly understand these things.
Isn't this the situation over at Xiaoqingshan in the Imperial City?
Emperor Yongle said curiously:
"How many people are there in Luxi now?"
Lu Yuan thought for a while and said:
“Anyway, there are about 300,000 workers in our household registration.
There are countless other people from the surrounding areas, small businessmen and hawkers, and some who come to Luxi City to do small business.
There are also family members and so on. It feels like Lu Xi has almost a million people. "
superior……
Millions of people?
The four people in the car looked confused.
this?
How is it possible that there are so many people? ?
You must know that the entire imperial city only has about 130,000 households, and based on the calculation of five people per household, this is only 650,000 people.
Counting the surrounding villages, various merchants, and other floating population who come to the imperial city every day.
The entire imperial city only has a million people.
no……
This... this Lu Xi is only four months old...
Why did you get so many people out of thin air?
How to accommodate so many people?
How did you live there?
Now Emperor Yongle had questions all over his head.
Lu Yuan was also willing to help his grandfather clear up his doubts and said immediately:
“The income from working in this factory is higher than farming, and it is also lighter and more promising.
The people around here came to work in Luxi's factory.
At first it was the people from Western Lu, and then people from Eastern Lu, Southern Lu, and Northern Lu came with their families.
We have too many vacant positions here. As long as you come, you can fill them.
Over time, I plan to build another super factory like this in the coastal area of eastern Shandong. "
Listening to Lu Yuan's words, Emperor Yongle did not say how powerful Lu Yuan was this time, but captured the key information.
Dang even frowned slightly and said:
"But since these people have gone out to work, what will happen to their land? Isn't it going to be abandoned?"
Lu Yuan knew that his grandfather would definitely be worried about this matter.
Speaking of which, why did Emperor Hongwu impose a sea ban?
First, it’s the problem of pirates.
Piracy was rampant at that time, and many people along the coast became pirates.
Later, when the piracy problem was brought under control, why did we continue to seal the sea?
That's because you can earn too much by going overseas.
Many people saw that they could earn so much money from the sea, which was much better than working hard to farm the land.
Therefore, many people stopped farming and went directly to sea.
This resulted in no one cultivating the originally cultivated land, and the land was abandoned and turned from cultivated land into wasteland.
This is fatal to a farming and civilized country.
If you only have money but no food, is that okay?
Therefore, Emperor Hongwu originally prohibited people from going to sea.
However, this is only a private ban, but the royal fleet has been trading with surrounding areas.
Lu Yuan was worried about his grandfather and immediately said:
"Don't worry, Grandpa, we will plant the land they don't cultivate in the future, and the grain that should be handed over to the court every year will not be less than a pound.
This is why, at that time, I asked my grandfather to give me the right to recruit guardsmen at will. "
After hearing this, Emperor Yongle felt relieved and said:
"Then this can be implemented immediately. Didn't grandpa give you the right to recruit guardsmen at will?"
I heard my grandfather's words.
Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head:
"Grandpa, this can't be done now. Some people are being cunning.
If you want the land immediately, they will have a fight.
It has to cost a lot of money, so we have to wait until this land is almost deserted.
Isn't it cheap to pay for it now?
And it’s winter and there’s nothing we can plant in the ground. We’ll have to wait until next spring.
Especially since there are not many people coming now, there are areas on the left and areas on the right.
Tractors are inconvenient to operate. It is better to wait until a large area is abandoned and then buy them all at once.
This is called mechanized production.
Anyway, Grandpa, don't worry, the food output here in Qilu will definitely not be small no matter what. "
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Emperor Yongle blinked, then looked at Lu Yuan in astonishment and said:
"You want to buy their land?
hiss.
No, they should get up on the pole and beg you for it.
Why do you still want to buy it? "
The Lieqian Dynasty had taxes every year.
This land is given to you, regardless of whether you have planted food this year or not.
When tax day comes, you have to pay taxes.
If you don’t have food, you have to pay according to the market price.
Since the people of western Shandong no longer intend to farm, this land is a complete burden for these people.
They still have to pay a sum of money every year.
Logically speaking, these lands and people would rather give them all to others.
This way, you don’t have to pay taxes every year, and you can work in the factory with peace of mind.
How……
Do you still have to spend money to buy it for your own grandson? ?
Listening to his grandfather's words, Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head:
"Grandpa, this is called the credibility of the court.
These lands were given to them by the imperial court. Since they were given to them, they belong to them.
Now if we want to get the land back, we have to pay.
If you want something from someone else, then pay for it. This is a matter of course!
This is to let them know that our court is not the Northern Yuan Dynasty, nor any dynasty that squeezes the people at will.
In this way, they will be more grateful to the court, work harder for the court, and support the court even more.
And there wasn’t much money in the land in the end.
An acre of land can be acquired without even one tael of silver.
If I buy a million acres, I won’t even need one million taels of silver.
But how many hearts can this money buy for the court?
Grandpa, this is a sure-fire way to make money! "
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Emperor Yongle looked at Lu Yuan in astonishment and took a breath of cold air.
hiss……
My grandson...
Seventeen……
Have you actually thought of this step?
this……
I really underestimated my grandson.
The three brothers behind him also stared at Lu Yuan with big eyes and small eyes.
This kid...
When did this kid become so calculating?
This used to be neither impressive nor leaky at all...
Finally, Emperor Yongle looked at Lu Yuan and said leisurely:
"well done."
Soon, everyone arrived at Lu Xi's bridge.
At this time, everyone was ready to greet them, including various red carpets and all officials from Lu Xi.
Including Li Er, Lu Wenqing, Song Xianjue and so on.
When these people knelt down and shouted Long Live, Emperor Yongle looked around and looked at the brightly lit tube tower in the factory area.
Somewhat emotional.
How did his grandson turn Lu Xi upside down in just four months?
Lu Yuan said from the side:
"Grandpa, everything is ready at Prince Lu's Mansion. Let's go and have a meal first.
Grandpa, please have a good rest first. Tomorrow, your grandson will take you around Luxi. "
Emperor Yongle couldn't hide his excitement, looked around and said:
"I'm not in a hurry to eat. I took the car without moving all day. I'm not hungry, so I just strolled to Prince Lu's Mansion."
Lu Yuan immediately nodded with a smile and said:
"Okay, Grandpa, you have the final say. Anyway, it only takes an hour to walk from here to Prince Lu's Mansion."
"I just happened to take a look at the situation here at Lu Xi's side. It's all authentic. There's absolutely no reason why I'm acting for you just because you're coming."
After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Emperor Yongle grinned and said:
"You little brat, there's something in your words!"
Lu Yuan chuckled and said:
"How dare you? My grandson just says whatever he wants in front of grandpa."
Afterwards, Lu Yuan and others did not wait for the armored convoy behind.
Anyway, those ministers looked dazed, and now they had no energy and no mood to go shopping.
The bile I vomited almost came out this day.
Lu Yuan had already made arrangements for these ministers.
When they arrive, just go directly to the place where you live to rest.
Surrounded by everyone, everyone headed towards Prince Lu's Mansion.
On the way, Emperor Yongle naturally looked around curiously and said:
"How many people can live in these buildings?"
Lu Yuan thought for a while and said:
"These are factory buildings. Including family members, more than a thousand people can live in such a building."
Can such a building accommodate more than a thousand people?
Emperor Yongle looked at Lu Yuan with some astonishment and said:
“Can so many people live there??”
Lu Yuan nodded slightly and said:
“There are about fifty households on this floor, six floors in total.
A household is about forty square meters. If you are not married, there are six people living in one household.
If you bring your family here, you will live in a separate household with your children and wife. "
After hearing this, Emperor Yongle said with question marks on his face:
"This...isn't it a little too crowded? This...is more than 40 square meters, how can we cook?
Why go to the hut, this..."
This thing is no better than a yard.
Emperor Yongle really couldn't figure out how to eat, drink, poop and sleep in these dozens of square meters.
Lu Yuan wanted to say it, but after thinking about it, he grinned and said:
"Grandpa, you'll know when you go in and take a look."
Immediately, Lu Yuan led his grandfather into a factory.
Go straight to the dormitory building.
Later, Emperor Yongle understood what was going on.
There is a collective pool and a public toilet in the middle of each floor.
"Hey, who doesn't flush the toilet when they go to the toilet?"
Lu Yuan just opened a door, ready to show his grandfather, but he came out as soon as he entered.
When the factory director on the side saw this scene, he was almost frightened and jumped in.
He hurriedly rushed in and pulled the rope of the water tank above.
Only then did the shit and urine get washed away.
Emperor Yongle was not angry. He took a look from a distance to watch the complete process of going to the latrine.
Looking back, Emperor Yongle looked at the pool curiously.
I was surprised when I saw the faucet that produced water when I turned it on and no water when I turned it off.
"How long can it take to build such a good house in four months?"
Emperor Yongle said with disbelief on his face.
Lu Yuan smiled and waved his hand and said:
"This isn't a good thing, it's just like a house bird cage.
And four months is already considered slow. We recruit people first and build houses later.
The people are much older. There are two to three thousand people in a factory, working day and night to serve such a building. How can it be unpleasant? "
This house looks very good and powerful to people like Emperor Yongle.
But in Lu Yuan's view.
What is this?
What is there in this building? Water, electricity and water only occupy one part of the building.
Electricity, there is no electricity here.
Not to mention angry.
Especially in this building, there is no basement, so it can’t be built quickly.
On Earth, with a construction team of several hundred people, a six-story tube building like this could be put up in three or four months.
But what about Lu Yuan?
More than 2,000 people worked as small laborers, and it only took three months to come up with it.
This is basically just putting bricks on it and calling it a day.
In the past three or four months, it was mainly to find a mason to delay things.
Lu Yuan brought almost all the masons in Qilu and transferred thousands of people from the imperial city to build houses in western Lu.
But it's still not enough.
The best thing in the end was that it was broken down into parts. A mature construction team was responsible for three factory areas and taught thousands of people how to build.
Fortunately, people in ancient times are different from modern people.
People in ancient times were more or less familiar with this technology.
Easy to teach and good at learning.
During this period, Lu Yuan also personally brought twenty or thirty master craftsmen to tell them how to build such high-rise houses.
Then after these twenty or thirty masters have learned it, they will teach the people below.
There were a lot of fooling around in the front, and sometimes I would find that the building was tilted while it was being covered, or there would be a loud bang and the wall would fall down.
Fortunately, there is nothing else here in Lu Yuan, except that there are too many people.
If the wall falls down, it can rise again the next day.
In western Shandong, it is backed by the Huanghuai Grand Canal, and all kinds of building materials can be unloaded on the ground as soon as they arrive at the port.
Saved a lot of time.
Emperor Yongle was curious again:
"Then what do you people here do to eat?"
Lu Yuan led Emperor Yongle towards the corridor of the dormitory and said:
“We have a canteen here.
If you don’t want to cook, you can go to the canteen to buy food.
You can also make it yourself at home.
Use spirit stone slag to make it here in the aisle. "
As Lu Yuan spoke, he came to the door of a house.
Every house has a small table and a small cupboard outside.
On the table is a kerosene can similar to one from the 1950s and 1960s on Earth, as well as a cutting board.
However, there is no kerosene in the Liegan Dynasty now.
The spirit stone residue was used.
The firepower is not very high, but it can be used to make small stir-fries or something.
The king of Zhao and the king of Han were nearby, opening the small cupboards of each household.
I saw the pots and pans neatly arranged inside.
Emperor Yongle nodded, and then said:
"See what's inside."
The factory manager on the side nodded repeatedly and opened the door to go in.
But I found that the door was locked.
As soon as the factory director raised his foot, he kicked the door and kicked him in.
However, Lu Yuan pulled him aside and glared:
"What are you doing? I'm not at home and the door is locked. What do you want to do?!"
After hearing this, Emperor Yongle glanced at the people surrounding the aisle again.
But he suddenly remembered what his grandson said before he came.
He immediately came back to his senses and glared at the factory director:
“Since the door of this house is locked, no one is home.
Can people's homes be broken into easily? !
He didn't make a mistake, he didn't break the law. Do you want to ransack your home?
How did you become an official? ! "
This frightened the factory director so much that he knelt on the ground and was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.
After Emperor Yongle finished speaking, the people in the distance all shouted long live.
Emperor Yongle winked at Lu Yuan, meaning, is it okay for grandpa to do this?
Lu Yuan chuckled and secretly gave a thumbs up.
The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, smiled, and walked towards the house with the open door next to them.
This room is a family.
Not a dormitory.
As soon as you enter, there is a large bed and a basin shelf in the corner.
In another corner, there are large wooden boxes and cabinets stacked with clothes inside.
There is a dining table and a small desk inside.
Of course, there is also a small stove that is necessary in winter.
There was a kettle sitting on it, and the water was boiling.
Emperor Yongle actually stepped forward, helped take down the kettle, and then picked up the stove lid to cover it.
Lu Yuan watched his grandfather's Aimin performance from the side and couldn't help but blink.
Speaking of which, sometimes the atmosphere can really change people.
My grandfather is not a person who is good at showing off.
But before coming, I told him about buying land and buying people's hearts, and about not letting him kick in the door just now.
My own grandfather also started acting.
"It's still a bit cold with the stove burning."
Emperor Yongle suddenly sighed.
This is really incomparable to my own floor-heated Taoist room.
Lu Yuan smiled and said:
"This is the shady side, so it's naturally very cold in winter, but it's cooler here in summer."
Emperor Yongle nodded, but before he could say anything, Lu Yuan said again:
“However, these are temporary.
Now, a formal family building is being built here in Luxi. In the future, workers, fifth-level workers and above, who have made significant contributions will be promoted.
At that time, you will be able to live in a three-bedroom apartment with a separate toilet, with both sunny and shady sides. "
Emperor Yongle heard Lu Yuan's words and even said a few good words, and was very satisfied.
Later, Lu Yuan led Emperor Yongle around again.
I looked at the canteen, the park, and the night market.
However, nothing to see.
The main thing is that Lu Yuan really didn't do any tricks in private.
I really didn’t encourage a bunch of people to act in a play just because my grandfather was coming.
When these normal people saw the emperor coming from a distance, they would not dare to raise their heads unless they knelt down.
Or just run far away first and then stand on tiptoe to watch.
So, nothing to play with.
After a brief glance and wandering around for a while, everyone returned to Prince Lu's Mansion.
At this time, Prince Lu's palace was already overcrowded.
This time everyone will stay in Luxi for a while.
At least you have to stay for ten or eight days.
Therefore, Lu Yuan also brought his two wives and his mother here.
For such an important event and such a lively event, it would be nice to bring the family along.
Naturally, the Crown Princess and Lu Qing.
Princess Zhao and Lu Yuan's two younger sisters also came.
There are also some servants and so on.
Now everyone is allocating rooms.
During this time, everyone lived in Prince Lu's Mansion.
Prince Lu's Mansion is now a bit like a courtyard in the imperial city, very large.
Emperor Yongle naturally lived in the middle room.
The large row of houses on the left is where the families of the prince and King Zhao live.
My family lives on the left side.
My father and my mother are together, and I and my three daughters-in-law are together.
Emperor Yongle watched his daughters-in-law leading the servants and instructing the servants to divide the houses.
For a moment, he sighed with emotion:
“It’s really been a long time since I stayed in the palace.
For a moment, I remembered what it was like more than ten years ago.
I really miss it. "
Lu Yuan was not so emotional. He looked at Li Er and said:
"Hurry up, let's start dinner."
After driving for a day today, Lu Yuan was very tired and sleepy, especially since he got up at around three o'clock in the morning.
We set off at around five o'clock.
As for my mother and daughters-in-law, the situation is not good either.
It was too shaking inside the armored vehicle.
It's really not comfortable in there.
For nearly six hours, these women were really uncomfortable.
There is no energy, just like eggplant beaten by frost.
On the contrary, his father, the Crown Prince and King Zhao are still in high spirits.
The three of them were surrounding Prince Lu's Mansion, looking up and down curiously.
Fortunately, Emperor Yongle could see that his grandson was very tired today, so he waved his hands and looked at the three sons in the distance and said:
"Okay, come and eat quickly, Yuan'er is already tired.
After dinner, you can go wherever you like. "
During the meal, several bottles of orange soda were served.
Ice cold.
One bite is refreshing.
This is a new product recently launched by the soda water factory.
In this very hot hall, a bottle of ice-cold orange soda suddenly came.
It's really heartbreaking.
After one sip, everyone agreed, and it felt like most of the day's hard work was gone.
Even my grandfather was as greedy as a child, drinking two bottles in one go.
After Lu Yuan finished his meal quickly, he stood up and looked at Emperor Yongle, who was holding another bottle of soda, and said:
"Grandpa, I'm full and want to go back and rest first."
Emperor Yongle was startled and nodded quickly:
"Okay, okay, go, go, go."
Lu Yuan stood up, and Gu Qingwan and the other three also stood up immediately to say goodbye to everyone and follow Lu Yuan back to the room.
This time the four of them lived in a house, of course, with three beds.
Now Lu Yuan is in no other mood.
After the three women washed Lu Yuan's feet and faces.
Lu Yuan hugged Gu Qingwan and began to fall asleep amid Gu Qingwan's sweet cry.
This made Gu Qingwan feel shy, and she looked back at the two people standing behind her.
Su Liyan, on the other hand, pursed her lips and smiled, helped close the curtain, and then took Ling Ju to rest.
Lu Yuan was really sleepy.
Last night I was tossing with Su Liyan until about one o'clock at night, then I got up after an hour of sleep and that's it until now.
As soon as I lay down, I fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I slept.
Lu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
In front of her was the sweet and lovely Gu Qingwan, sleeping soundly.
Looking at the cute and sweet Gu Qingwan in front of him, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile and pinch Gu Qingwan's cheeks.
Then, Lu Yuan blinked.
A system list appeared in front of Lu Yuan.
[The resentment of the ghost bride]
Help the ghost bride and get "Beast Breeding".
Task deadline: before dawn.
Good guy...
You don’t even bother to list option one now, do you? ! !
Lu Yuan looked at the words "system task" and blinked.
Then, Lu Yuan opened the curtain and looked out the window at the dark night with the north wind blowing.
Thinking of these three words ghost bride, I couldn't help but shudder.
Damn it.
Doing this all night long will cost your life? !
Birthday, one update today
