"Today's labor service requires that those whose fields are insufficient are replaced by other fields. They are sent home after thirty days of service, and there will be no farming for eleven months after they return home.
There is little land and many people, and they are not tenant households. The people have nothing to do, and their livelihood becomes more difficult.
Meals are grain, and there are chopsticks and bowls; clothing, farm products, and knitting; and transportation, there must be labor.
People who are idle are like animals who are idle. Animals do not exert their strength and waste fodder in vain. People do not exert their strength and national power is wasted in vain.
The more people lose their jobs, the greater the depletion of national power. The more businesses there are, the greater the increase in national power.
Therefore, people with agricultural origins can work as craftsmen, such as the craftsmen recruited from Xiqiu Village. Things have their limits, but people have choices.
Craftsmen may not know how to do craftsmanship, and farmers may not know how to farm. All these things should be guided by people. Therefore, those who have a registered residence should not determine their career. "
When Prince Zhu Biao saw the chicken-feather letter, no, the letter was sealed with lacquer, he immediately ran to his father to show it to him as soon as he saw the content.
The key issue is discussed in it. The people with less Tian Tian came to make up for the labor service from the people with more fields. The people with more fields provided food for the people.
It was only thirty days of hard work in a year, but after he returned home, he quickly finished planting the land and had nothing to do.
And even if people just want to eat, they don't just need to farm the land. They also need to have rice bowls, salt, etc. The same goes for wearing clothes.
Even if people don't work, they still have to eat, just like animals.
Farmers are not allowed to do other things. When they are idle, it will be detrimental to the country.
The children of craftsmen may not be proficient in craftsman's things, and the children of farmers may not be able to cultivate good land.
Therefore, using household registration to limit job types is unreasonable for many people.
"Hmm~~" Zhu Yuanzhang was deep in thought after reading it. Putting the issues of unemployment rate and employment rate into perspective, he really had a big problem.
If the animals don’t work, wouldn’t raising them be in vain? If people don't work, they are like animals. If they only eat, what a loss!
"Have you dealt with the troublemaker?" Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and suddenly asked about another matter.
"There is a nephew of a salt merchant who knows the official of Shangyuan County and has shares in four salt shops. The second brother's place is short of people to mine, so he just sent them. Father, look at the other one."
Zhu Biao briefly talked about it, but did not specifically mention how the pawnbrokers were handled, how people were arrested, or how many people were arrested.
It is enough to have cause and effect, everything else is trivial.
The crime was not a light one, so not killing them was already a good thing. It was an extrajudicial act of mercy.
Zhu Yuanzhang opened another piece of paper and wrote on it: "The Qinhuai River and Shijiu Lake are only fifteen miles apart. Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places use the Grand Canal to transport goods around too far."
Another example is when Ning Guofu enters Nanjing, it first goes west before entering the river, and then goes around to the east.
The canal was built in the Sui Dynasty, extended in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and used and consolidated in the Yuan Dynasty. Today, the products in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty benefit from the canal.
Therefore, the fifteen-mile canal should be opened. There are 200,000 soldiers in Nanjing, and Sichuan is now at peace, so why worry about enemy soldiers rushing upstream?
Xiaqiu Village is willing to offer a method, blasting rocks to remove rocks, and the progress is very fast. If we mobilize one hundred thousand troops, study the method of gunpowder, and rotate the digging, we can get soldiers who are familiar with gunpowder!
The construction of the canal will benefit more than ten thousand hectares of land south of the Yangtze River? Benefit more than a million people? If you move, you will eventually succeed; if you don't move, you will never succeed. '
There was also a map underneath the letter, marking the location of the Rouge River. Just like this, a line was drawn from the Qinhuai River to Shijiu Lake.
The location of Xiaqiu Village is also specially marked. Taking this route to Xiaqiu Village is much closer than taking the Wuhu route. It can run four times a day. Even if you work hard, five trips is not a problem.
Zhu Yuanzhang measured it on the map with his finger. Fifteen miles didn't feel long.
But he knew that the place was full of rocks, and the rocks could only burn with fire and splash with water.
"What is the method of blasting rocks to get rocks?" Zhu Yuanzhang considered the key technical issue, which was obviously different from burning. How to get gunpowder?
Can gunpowder do such a thing? how to use? No one has ever used it, otherwise who would burn the stones!
"I told them that I could find a place in the afternoon and they showed it to me. Oh! My second brother also wrote a letter, saying that he wanted to build a department store in a place where crops could be increased..."
Zhu Biao told his father what the village chief had agreed with Zhu Ping, how to get the extra food from the people and provide convenience for the people.
"What a great idea! You are indeed a master! Get the abundant food from the people's hands without hurting the people.
After other lazy villages know about it, they will definitely try to diversify and look forward to the department store opening.
They also wanted to provide money for renting animals, and like Ningguo Mansion, they would get one cent per month.
But why come up with so many ideas at once? Why didn't you say it before? "
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it carefully and found that either one was good. The key was that the department store needed to recruit people to work, which could solve part of the employment problem.
"I'm afraid he's angry, but someone actually dared to block the door and threaten the mayor and Hanhan. The guards at Erchen's Mansion said they were working hard to sharpen the skewer and bring it to Hanhan. It's an iron skewer.
Hanhan's flying chopsticks can pass through rats on the beam, and they can also pass through people. If the same thing happens again, Hanhan will probably... have to tell Hanhan to pierce his legs first and keep him alive. "
Zhu Biao said with a smile. The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became. The person who reported the news said that Hanhan was carrying a long stool and was ready to fight with others.
With his strength, the stool was as strong as a hemp stalk, and anyone who was swept away would have his bones broken.
"Yeah! Zhu Yichang has a good idea in his hand, but he won't give it to us when we're not in a hurry. Maybe the expert has warned him to come out if he feels there is danger and let us help."
Zhu Yuanzhang began to analyze that the master had countless methods, but he just asked the village chief to wait for the opportunity.
"Perhaps I want to finish the library and release it little by little." Zhu Biao thought that the master would slowly push forward some things.
"Send twenty more guards to them, and they are blocked by someone next to us. Regardless of whether we can fight back or not, something is wrong."
Zhu Yuanzhang decided to send more people, and a naive smiling face appeared in his mind. What a simple boy! Just a little silly.
"I accept my orders, that afternoon..." Zhu Biao asked about the promised test of exploding rocks into rocks.
"In the Prince's Mansion, we will take the officials to see what he is capable of. He can blow rocks into stone, and he can blow up city walls."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought it was a gadget like a flintlock gun! Arrangements will be made directly to the Prince's Mansion.
Zhu Biao took the order and left, arranging manpower. After thinking about it, he decided to go there to eat and come back together after eating.
By the time Zhu Biao arrived, Zhu Wentian and his friends had already prepared everything, including a mixture of mercury pyrotechnics, lead, nitroglycerin, diatomaceous earth, and sodium carbonate.
This includes three parts of nitroglycerin, one part of diatomaceous earth, and one percent of sodium carbonate.
The ones that are light enough to fit between the stone rollers, two taels, and the ones that are heavy, five kilograms, can be placed anywhere.
Zhu Wentian felt that since he took it out, it would be easily ignored if he didn't let people experience it deeply.
Then make a bigger one, and make four of the five-pound ones. He was very nervous when making this thing.
Of course, after the explosion of five kilograms, he felt no pain, and neither did the people in the Fuhua Building next to him. It was amazing.
