The princess gave birth to a son, and everyone in the imperial city was happy, including the maids and eunuchs.
Everyone was beaming and felt that the midsummer day was cool.
Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang gave a great reward and paid directly, with the least getting three guans, and those in the prince's house giving at least 10 guan.
There is money in the palace, so everyone will be happy together, and the food will be improved to a higher level.
Queen Ma and Concubine Sun also went to the Crown Prince's Mansion to see the Crown Princess and her child. This was Queen Ma's first grandchild, and he was also an eldest grandson.
It’s amazing! Zhu Yuanzhang wants to grant amnesty to the world again. Those who made mistakes before can be forgiven, except for the most vicious ones.
The box lunch restaurant in Xiaqiu Village told others that it sold for a penny for three consecutive days.
Jubi will offer 10% off for 77% off, and for the same three days, 20% off on beer, so drink up!
The Crown Princess began her confinement period, and she changed rooms continuously. They should not be hot or cold, let alone wet.
The only bad thing about giving birth in the summer is that the heat is unbearable. The most suitable day in Nanjing is October.
Xiaqiu Village sent confinement meals to the princess according to the situation in her own village.
The village used thick colored glaze to make a large fish tank to raise marine fish and provide nutrition to the princess. They began to watch the market every day and if there were old cows to be killed, they would buy them immediately.
They were given two eggs and a bowl of milk every day. Chicken liver, foie gras, and lamb liver pate were sliced, and vegetables, fruits, and dried fruits were rationed.
Then find someone to chat with the princess and help take care of the baby.
Then the child was named, Zhu Xiongying.
Zhu Wentian was not surprised when he received the news. He estimated that Zhu Yuanzhang had always wanted his eldest grandson to be called this name. He had already decided on it and it was not just a new idea.
Zhu Xiongying is Zhu Xiongying! No one in the palace is dead at the moment, including Concubine Sun's daughter.
Everyone drinks boiled water and washes their hands frequently. The meals they eat are nutritionally balanced and there are sufficient prescriptions and medicinal materials.
Zhu Wentian didn't believe that Zhu Xiongying died at the age of eight, and he was trying to extract allicin! Injections are not available for the time being, but can be taken orally.
The garlic grown in the village has been harvested and will be planted again this fall.
This year's ginger has already been planted. Last year we harvested a lot of ginger, so we need to increase the planting area.
Zhu Yuanzhang gave such a large piece of land and it had to be utilized.
…
When many people are happy, labor prices in the Yingtianfu labor market have dropped.
In the past, the maximum was 70 fen a day, but now the maximum is 50 fen.
Zhu Yuanzhang followed the three methods given by Xiaqiu Village and used them together.
Many people participated. They provided sacks and would also go to the river to fill a few bags of sand and place them there.
If you just use your free time, you can earn three to five cents at a time, which is extra income for ordinary people.
In Qinhuaihe, every position is contracted, and family members are allowed to participate in doing some auxiliary work.
Baogan is not only responsible for dredging in summer, but also in winter when there is little precipitation. This way, the work is stable and the harvest is guaranteed during droughts and floods.
The labor shortage was solved at once, businessmen's costs were reduced, and prices did not suddenly rise.
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned. Was the problem solved like this? It felt very relaxed, it was just that I didn't think about it that way.
When the distance between Yangzhou Prefecture and Zhenjiang Prefecture was more than 100 miles, but the distance was not much, the sparsely populated families in Yangzhou Prefecture and Zhenjiang Prefecture took out their manpower and came with the government, the labor market price dropped again.
Basically, the level was maintained at the previous level, between 20 and 40 cash per day. Those with skills could still get more than 50 cash.
At noon that day, Zhu Biao finished his morning class and went directly to Xiaqiu Village. He did not need to pick up the food in Xiaqiu Village at the moment. The village arranged for people to deliver it.
Mainly women with children went over to chat with the princess and talk about outside things. Someone netted a huge fish in the river, and a certain sheep in the village gave birth to three babies at once...
The Crown Princess couldn't get out, so she was willing to listen to such things. The key point was that they were all true.
For example, that fish appeared in front of her at noon today and turned into a dish.
That portion was fried fish fillet, which contained cucumber, fungus, bamboo fungus, and carrot. It tasted good and was rich in nutrients.
By the way, he showed the fish bones to the princess. It was indeed very big, four feet long.
"Princess, when they have something good, they first go to the box lunch shop and ask us if we want it. If we want it, they will sell it to us."
The woman in the village showed the princess the fish bones and asked her how she bought them.
The woman next to her ate with the Crown Princess. The meals were shared, so that more people would have an appetite.
Zhu Biao, who went to Xiaqiu Village for dinner, also ate this fish. He didn't see the fish bones for the time being, so he had to go back home.
He came over to eat kebabs and drink beer. It was hot and he couldn't eat, so he wanted to ask what he was doing.
Everyone was sitting in the village waterside pavilion, and Zhu Ping was also there.
He had heard long ago that his brother had a good meal here at noon, so he ran here after finishing his work in the store.
Zhu Biao took a sip of wine with ice cubes: "Zhu Lichang, some people say that the price of workers is low, and people's lives will be difficult. Is this true?"
The chief understood that a minister was looking for trouble, and he pondered: "Income is also related to prices. When there is a labor shortage, high wages are a problem for a single income group.
As the political, economic, and cultural center of the Ming Dynasty, Yingtianfu will inevitably become a place with high income and high prices.
Of course, that should be a slow process, and the market economy should not be disrupted in the short term during emergencies.
When prices rise in a place, they should be raised after multiple economic groups have risen together, so that they can be stabilized.
If the labor shortage is not solved immediately, the lives of the people in Nanjing will be disrupted.
There will be people in Jubiqi who are thinking about making big money outside. In order to retain people, we can only raise wages.
When costs rise, in order to ensure profits, the simplest way is to increase prices. In fact, it is okay not to increase prices.
Just because we don't raise prices doesn't mean that others won't raise prices after being hit. When all prices rise, the high wages of migrant workers will be equalized, and they will demand higher wages. "
The mayor used the most straightforward words to explain the problem of inflation, which would lead to a vicious circle.
Zhu Biao thought about it and said, "I know this. Zhu Lichang just said that it's okay not to increase the price?"
"Yes, the way to avoid price increases is to reduce costs through technical means. We must come up with better technology so that one person can do the work that was originally done by five people.
So if we increase the salary of this person, it will not cause us to lose money. The better the technology, the higher the profit.
Ordinary people can't use it. They don't specialize in thinking about better technology and can only withstand market shocks. "
The head of the village mentioned the issue of technology research and development. Someone had proposed good technology before, and Zhu Feng rewarded him with a lot of money at a time.
The employees of Jubiqihe Beer Store are always thinking about how to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Just come up with one and see how much efficiency can be improved and costs reduced. If there are many, one award can be worth several years of income.
Zhu Biao had heard of the store's incentive model, which was very effective like heavy rewards on the battlefield.
He nodded: "Is the current salary appropriate?"
"It's appropriate. You have to wait until at least the New Year before it can go up again." The manager confirmed.
