Chapter 759 Changes in people's livelihood through technology
The people playing on the ice cart here are all children, some are brought here by older people, and there are no men or women who can work. Something to do.
Men also do hard work, such as helping carry work, or transporting things to the construction site, to the Ma'anshan mine.
Either Yingtianfu’s silage pond, coal transportation, and briquette making.
Women work in match factories, textile factories, greenhouses, pickle factories and other factories.
If you really have free time, you won't go to the ice rink so far away, but will find a place to read and read.
Because according to rumors, in the future, the business in Xiaqiu Village will only recruit people who can read, and those who can’t will not be accepted, including jobs that make a lot of money.
When it comes to money, ordinary people work very hard, especially those who work in various factories. When they go home from get off work and rest, they take out the literacy books borrowed from the library to read.
The only people who can be in the ice rink are older people. They bring their grandchildren here to play. They are mainly responsible for safety issues on the road and are afraid of their children being stolen.
In fact, there are no human traffickers. It’s not that some people are kind, but that the stolen children cannot be transported away. If the child is more than a hundred miles away, a road is needed, and the road is opened to have a household registration.
The child wants to leave if he steals his household registration. Where can the child get a road guide? Find the child’s family and ask for the registration book.
The children continue to play and take them with them. The elderly people from the family who came stayed nearby.
"How many people does this old man have in his family?" Zhu Yuanzhang came to the nearest person and looked at the person carefully and asked.
The older man also looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and smiled: "There are many people in the family, including my wife. All four sons are married, and there are nine grandchildren in total. This one is the youngest. I brought him here to play."
As he spoke, he pointed to a child who couldn't use the ice drill himself and had to be dragged along with other people to skate. He looked two-dimensional. Three years old.
Zhu Yuanzhang was happy, "It's great to have children and grandchildren, how is life at home?"
He knew that there were nineteen people in his family, and it was not easy for the children to live so long.
"Everyone makes money and spends it. We don't care about money. The boss is the best. He can take home three guan a month, and the others are about two guan.
< p>Isn’t it true that all the wives in the family have gone to work? They can earn more than 20 yuan a day, which is better than before. In the past few years, wherever they could find such work, they were weaving at home.Our family still has a hundred acres of land, which has been rented out. The two elders of us have only one vegetable plot to grow vegetables for our own consumption and to dry vegetables.
We also raise chickens, ducks and geese, but not pigs. It’s hard to raise pigs, and everyone in the family is busy.
The eldest grandson is studying in the official school, and the younger brother and sister all go to the library. ”
The old man is still so happy. , tell me about the general situation at home.
Zhu Yuanzhang understood that this family was powerful and if they had land they could rent out, thenIt is to collect rent, save some food money, and at the same time, there is no need to perform labor service.
The key to saving money on vegetables in the vegetable field is to have students from the government school. Now the students are ready to go out and replace others with managing the department store at any time.
What the students are learning now is not just scriptures and the like. Secondly, the most important thing is practical knowledge on how to lead people to live a good life.
With such a grandson, this family will do well.
"Okay" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, then looked at the other people, mainly looking at their faces, and found that they were all good.
There are no cracks on the face or the back of the hands, and the lips are not chapped.
Like the children from the library, all the faces are flushed, and there are no small pimples at the corners of the mouth. It is angular stomatitis.
"Leave them to eat at noon and give them some food." Zhu Yuanzhang ordered. They were all common people and had no less than a few mouthfuls to eat.
Turns his head, he said to the ministers, "The people of Yingtian Mansion are better off, but the ministers in other places still have to work hard."
He knew the situation, among these children Some came on their own, from nearby villages, and they didn’t want to live in the library because it was too far away.
However, their parents would go to the library to borrow books for them to read. When they saw that there was an ice rink here, they invited other friends to come and play.
If you ask one person, you will say that your parents are busy at home. If you ask another person, it will still be the same.
Being busy means making money. It is winter now, and there is usually nothing to do. In winter, we just stay at home. The women do some housework, while the men get firewood and clean up the yard.
Time is wasted in vain, and an income is lost.
When they are all busy, looking at the clothes and complexions of the children, you will know that their lives are better. At least they have cotton-padded clothes to wear, and there is no shortage of meat to eat.
In other places, it is estimated that only the people of Ningguo Mansion can compare with this, not even Taiping Mansion.
The ministers naturally responded repeatedly. In fact, they only need to do their job well, and they can't help much.
They have been accustomed to the long-standing thinking mode. Everyone has been like this for all dynasties. If they suddenly want to change the method, it requires a complete set of theoretical systems to support it.
They usually dredge silt, build embankments, encourage farming, and reduce or reduce land taxes and labor in case of disasters, but nothing else.
Some places have been hit by disasters. If they want to open warehouses to store grain, they just think about it. What to put if there is no grain?
According to history, Shandong has been hit by disasters continuously. Now it should be The grass roots and tree bark have been eaten away, why not put away the grain?
"Yichang, where did you say the money came from?" Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that the officials would change anything, he put his hope in the lower hills. On the village elders.
"Your Majesty, it is natural to dig it from the ground, select better seeds to plant, use more reasonable methods to manage it, and take more complete measures to assist.
Mu Only when the output increases can there be surplus information. If you buy something out in exchange for something, it is a surplus product. The surplus product itself isBeing has its own value.
As long as the logistics is good, the surplus value will be used in exchange, thereby increasing the total amount of social resources.
The derivative product of grain is naturally meat, so social division of labor begins, and people will engage in more professional things, such as craftsmen.
To put it bluntly, it is a problem of utilization of existing resources. The resources are there, and better technology can be used to transform more of what we need.
The utilization of water resources is waterwheels. People no longer have to carry water, and the time saved is used for other things.”
The director briefly mentioned how things come from and the production technology. That’s all.
Transforming production technology into productivity is the basis for improving people’s living standards.
The next step is to ensure that stupid people can keep up with the team. Improve social welfare and use money from smart rich people to subsidize the poor.
“Yes, it means giving money from rich people to the poor. If we don’t give it, the poor will rebel. If we just stop. If we have food to eat, we can still rebel against the Yuan Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not think there was anything wrong in taking money from some people and giving it to others. This has been the case since ancient times.
Including civil and military officials , They also agree with this. This is how taxes are collected. People grow things at home and sell them, and there is no tax. Merchants sell things and pay thirty-one taxes. Please remember to collect them. Join qq group 952868558
