Chapter 103: Shuntian Mansion in the Future
Yang Shiqi can't see the future clearly, but he knows that the future is brand new and positive.
He was willing to work actively on the future proposed by He Xi.
Yang Shiqi said nothing more, but moved on to the next topic and said, "Then there is the resettlement issue in Beijing."
"The city of Beijing has only built an outline, and there are not enough houses for the people to spend the winter. Today, the weather is good, and the people are building shacks on the construction site, but in winter, people will freeze to death. The resettlement of so many people is an urgent solution The problem."
"In addition, there is not only a housing problem, but also a food problem. My lord, I understand the desire to keep food prices down so that people can live and work in peace and contentment. But now that there are floods in the north, the harvest in several provinces is almost non-existent, and food prices in the south have gone up. The news I just heard is that when the price of grain in Nanjing was at its highest, it was two stones and one tael, and now it has not dropped to three stones. The price of grain in Beijing is already lower than that in Nanjing. No one is willing to transfer grain to Beijing."
"Sir, the price of food must rise."
He Xi said: "I know."
For a while, He Xi also fell into deep thought. Houses and houses in Beijing were an important means for He Xi to balance the value of goods. Because of this, it was impossible for He Xi to directly distribute land to the people and let them build their own buildings on the land. houses.
This is actually the most efficient way.
Just like Zhang Ming, Zhang Ming took his time to build his shack bit by bit. For most people, building houses is also a necessary skill for them. The houses at home are also built by themselves. It is nothing more than Just earthen walls and roofs.
Give the people a piece of land and a little time. Everything is lacking in the city of Beijing. The most indispensable thing is building materials. They will be produced soon.
If we just distribute the land to the people, it will be difficult to deal with it in the future. Even if there is no industrialization in the future, it will still be difficult to live in Beijing without referring to the house prices after industrialization in later generations, but only to the historical house prices in Beijing.
Therefore, He Xi would not do this.
He Xi said: "Let's do this. We will build the residential houses in the Beijing city plan first. However, they will only be rented out, not bought. The government collects rent. As for the people building houses outside the city, there is no prohibition. Only outside the city All the land is owned by the government, so it’s okay to live there temporarily. If you want to live there permanently, you have to sell it to the government.” 33
"This also requires a fixed rule, and I leave this matter to you. As for the price of food, let it rise slowly, but it can only be the same as the price of food in Nanjing."
Yang Shiqi said: "Yes. Your Excellency, we are very busy in all aspects now. Your Excellency is right. The land regulations in Beijing are different from other places. They need a brand new regulations. But, Your Excellency, this is the first time." Now, the employment system in Beijing, the staff system, the future internal structure of the Shuntian Prefecture, and even the refugee resettlement regulations, etc. are almost all brand new. I have already drafted several regulations. It doesn’t matter if I am demoted. However, adults are a bit overwhelmed by such high-frequency changes."
"Why don't you wait a moment before I see you?"
He Xi also knew that many things had changed during this period of time.
He Xi wanted a brand-new Beijing city and a brand-new system, so he tried to change things as much as possible in many places.
Almost all the old systems of the Ming Dynasty had to be modified.
Some of the regulations revised by He Xi cannot even be said to be laws, but they are closer to the people than laws. It does not mean that they are foolproof after they are changed. It can even be said that after the change, everything begins.
After making the changes, implement them.
Naturally, you will encounter problems during implementation, and you will need to revise them. All in all, things are very busy.
On the one hand, we need to build the city of Beijing, and on the other hand, we need to introduce so many rules and regulations.
As He Xi's right-hand man, Yang Shiqi had to remind He Xi that the people would be uneasy if things continued like this, because most of the people were not literate and their learning ability was very poor. They are accustomed to the rules of doing things for generations. Get used to the acquaintance relationship that lasts for generations.
Regarding the sudden change of regulations, I was uneasy at first.
This uneasiness has nothing to do with whether the new regulations are good or bad. It's just that I don't understand it and I don't think I can understand it.
It’s that they know that they actually don’t have the ability to learn new things.
If they don't understand this kind of charter, even if it can bring benefits, it has nothing to do with them.
In addition, the workload of officials has increased significantly, not to mention the implementation of the new law, which itself represents a huge workload. Simply speaking, the concept of He Xi's reform will also bring a huge workload.
He Xi hopes that the government will directly connect with small families instead of families or other organizations, thereby increasing the court's organizational and mobilization capabilities. But before, the royal power of the imperial court did not go to the countryside, and rural affairs were actually managed by a few grain chiefs and gentry jointly.
Nowadays, there are more connections with trading companies and companies. But the relationship between companies and individuals is actually more free. It is impossible for a company to completely represent a certain person in the yamen. In the original system, many people were not even qualified to speak in front of the government.
In short, the government under this concept will also increase its workload a lot.
He Xi said: "It doesn't matter, it will be fine after a few days when it stabilizes. But I also promise you that there will be nothing new before today's winter, and don't I want to solve the problem?"
From He Xi's point of view, he was indeed solving the problem. But in Yang Shiqi's view, He Xi created problems one after another in order to solve them.
Since ancient times, many things have actually had a set of solutions, and many things have been done by the ancients. There are very few things that have not been done by the ancients. Even if no specific solution has been passed down, a general solution has been passed down.
This is even more true when it comes to disaster relief.
While others were providing relief in the disaster area, He Xi decided to move the victims out.
Yang Shiqi understood He Xi's intention and even admired He Xi's thinking. Many new things, when you think of them, are just an inspiration. You start from this inspiration and then write it down. Many times there are big and small problems. Only after trying it several times can you roughly figure it out.
But He Xi is different.
But everything He Xi took out was not a prototype, or even a semi-finished product. It seems to be a plan summed up after the fact.
Most of the time, there are no major problems, just minor ones. A small problem similar to acclimatization.
It was solved easily.
Yang Shiqi had never seen such political talent in his life.
It was as if he had copied these plans from somewhere.
It’s just that no matter how genius the plan is, it will always encounter problems of one kind or another if it wants to be implemented.
Yang Shiqi happened to be the one responsible for the settlement, and he really couldn't bear it.
He Xi's words made him relax a lot.
However, many things are not subject to human will.
------
It’s midnight in Beijing city.
Speaking of Beijing City, today’s Beijing City is just a construction site. There are countless work sheds scattered among them, and the construction of the residential houses He Xi wants has just begun. Even if we speed up the construction, it will be fast if it can be completed before winter.
At this moment, there were several figures walking sneakily along the dirt road in the construction site. They all held iron rods in their hands. The end of the iron rod was smashed with a hammer. It looked like a very strange short spear.
Several people did not speak. Instead, they made gestures to each other and walked forward.
Several people walked into a work shed, and then there were screams and a burst of fighting in the work shed. Then several people took the bloody packages and left.
By the time He Xi found out about this, it was already the next day.
He Xi said angrily: "This is the first time."
This is a side effect of the migration of disaster victims. When a large number of people come, there will naturally be problems of one kind or another. Especially on security.
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered near the construction site in Beijing, and people came and went frequently without any restrictions. Even these trading companies themselves were somewhat violent in nature. There had been several conflicts in order to grab business or other conflicts of interest in private. The crowd started fighting.
That posture, so dense, was much more exciting than Young and Dangerous, and his attacks were much more ruthless.
Generally speaking, the government will just mediate such matters. Nothing else can be done.
That’s all.
To be honest, it is inevitable that such a group exists.
There was actually no underworld in ancient times. Compared to the wealthy families and powerful locals, they are the first-class underworld. The so-called underworld in front of them is just a child's lesson. Similarly, with the development of the civil economy, the prototype of the underworld such as Dahang emerged.
It's the same now.
With so many people coming to Beijing, the society of acquaintances suddenly turned into a society of strangers.
Most of these people do not make a living by farming, but by working. Without strong personal dependence, many people have money. In this way, it is possible to create this kind of crime by simply using violence to ask others for money.
After all, even the underworld in later generations would not dare to go to the countryside, otherwise they would be beaten to death.
He Xi actually knew that in Beijing today, there were too many places where light could not shine, but things had to be prioritized. He Xi had originally waited for Beijing to be built before rectifying this aspect. But now it doesn't work.
He Xi could tolerate many private crimes, but this group of people openly committed murder and arson. I have been contacted several times to commit crimes. It was always at night, and they led people into the work shed and snatched away the wages.
They attacked many people and showed no mercy. It was not that no one resisted. More than a hundred people died in their hands. It can be said that his hands are full of blood and he is extremely vicious.
Some people died, but not completely...
