I am the king of the dead

"A few years ago, when I returned to Beijing, I went to the Nursing Home and asked once. If there is enough firewood in winter, at least half of them can be grown."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "This is the good government of Ming Dynasty."

What Yu Qian said was right, the fault was not the outbreak of the epidemic, otherwise the survival rate of these children in the nursing home was much higher than that of the children on the grassland.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "Great labor remuneration can obtain more food, increase the physical strength of the people, improve the state of life, have expectations for the future, have enough food and clothing, and let children have hope for reading and writing."

"If the labor remuneration is sufficient, the people can significantly improve their support for their children, so that most children can grow up and provide more adults for the society."

"More adults will inevitably relax and expand the upper limit of Ming's national power. In other words, more people will have more wealth."

"Daming will be more prosperous."

Zhu Qiyu made a gesture, horizontal and vertical.

Hu Wei coughed and said: "Your Majesty means that the country is strong when the people are strong, the country is rich if the people are rich, and the country is safe if the people are safe. The people here are the people of the world."

His Majesty couldn't say what was stuck in his throat.

But what does Hu Ming do?

That must have been a matter of observation, and immediately turned over the allusion of Tai'an Palace, Guotai Min'an, and explained His Majesty's gestures, so that the officials could understand.

What is a professional?

Without this kind of ability and level, is he worthy of being the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty?

National Security.

Zhu Qiyu sighed and said: "But not long ago, nearly a million people in Fujian, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Nanzhili started from the fields, and the entire southeast was riddled with holes. , still in Anding Fujian, no class teacher, over 70 years old, fighting for the country."

"Fujian Chief Secretary Song Zhang and a group of people have already completed the investigation. Next year Tiqi will escort a group of criminals to Fujian and behead them for public display."

Daming has no financial affairs, and no one understands them, let alone studies them. Everyone is so muddled, how can they do politics well!

Jin Lian's scalp was a little numb. He always thought that the local rebellion was the fault of the local officials, but now it seems that this is the responsibility of the Ministry of Households, but not the full responsibility of the Ministry of Households.

He frowned, thinking about all the words His Majesty said.

The only measure of wealth and value is labor.

The labor is contributed by the adults. Only when there are more adults, the wealth will increase. If the wealth increases, the adults will have more. The more labor, the more wealth.

This is a positive cycle.

Da Ming is obviously in a positive cycle, and the number of adults is growing at a high speed. This is a basic fact, but the tax of the imperial court is still 3000 million shimiliang per year. After the discount, it is about 2000 million silver.

And there seems to be a bigger problem, that is, with the increase in population and wealth, the cost of raising children should be reduced.

But the scale of millions, no less than Huang Chao's great rebellion that started in Qianmo, has just ended in Fujian.

There is a problem in the middle link, that is, the extremely unreasonable labor remuneration.

It led to the displacement of the people, the abandonment of their roots, the barrenness of the cultivated land, the corruption of the horse government, and the great chaos in the southeast.

But Hu Min thought more.

It has been 24 years since Wen and Wu prospered, and it has been 24 years since Wu also prospered.

Xing Wen Xing what?Your Majesty is engaged in farm law, and the bachelors of the Imperial Academy are the most suitable to preach the decree, but will your Majesty dare to use it?Even if you use the group of commanders who have studied in the Confucian School of the Weisuo for a few days, you don't need the bachelors of the Imperial Academy.

Xingwenxing has a lot of problems, Xingwenxing has a group of Hanlin Academy bachelors who only know how to talk and talk, and avoid reality. They don't have much serious knowledge, and the set of virtual etiquette of being a teacher is getting more and more perfect.

Tou Wu did a great job. He gave the five army governors' mansion, Ma Zheng, and Beijing camp to him, and he was so out of breath that even Wala besieged the capital.

If we continue to develop culture and martial arts, how many years will the Ming Dynasty have for its national destiny?

Next time Wala comes, will you just broadcast it?

After His Majesty's lectures on the six ministries of the Ming Dynasty, the Chief Constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and all the ministers and ministers, they all became clear. The truth seems simple, but it is extremely difficult to figure it out.

There is a tall man behind His Majesty, he must be as tall as 99 feet!

Jin Lian opened his meeting minutes and asked earnestly, "Your Majesty, what standard is used to determine the compensation for labor? I am stupid."

It is not easy for Jin Lian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who has been an official in the local area and the imperial court for more than [-] years, fought in the southeast, and fought against Chen Mao to kill the enemy, to sincerely say the words "stupid minister" ?

Zhu Qiyu sat up straight and said: "I think that the common people must at least get twice the labor remuneration that guarantees a family's living expenses, so that they can afford to take care of their children."

"In fact, the wife in the family can earn from labor and can maintain her own needs."

"This is a bottom line, the most basic standard of remuneration, as long as it is lower than this bottom line, the death of a young child is inevitable."

"If you want to support your family, you should get a labor remuneration that is more than four times the family's living expenses for that income, so that you can read and write."

"A child who grows up like this is an adult, not a bandit."

The women of Ming Dynasty are not the ladies of everyone, and they basically have to work. Men farm and women weave, and women can weave to support themselves.

Then, the labor of a adult must be twice the living expenses of the family, so that they can afford to take care of the children. If they want to read and write, they need four times.

Zhu Qiyu continued: "If you want to encourage the prosperity of the population, the income of a population should be at least six times the cost of living, so as to have the energy to raise more offspring."

What are the living expenses?

Basic expenses such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, maintenance of the residence, and taking the children to see a doctor.

Zhu Qiyu has done calculations, and it is actually very low. Daming has a huge population and a lot of output, but Daming has no legal tender. Since Daming’s banknotes have been corrupted, Baoyuan Bureau has not fulfilled its function of issuing coins, and Daming has always been in a money shortage. In this state, money is expensive and goods are cheap, and the prices are not very high.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a good government and benefiting the people Pharmaceutical Bureau, which was affiliated to the Tai Hospital and was established in all prefectures and counties.

Zhu Qiyu sighed and said: "If you want to give a figure, each household spends no more than seven stones and five buckets of rice every year, and it is only five taels of silver according to the capital discount."

Jingshi rice is expensive, but expensive is also limited.

Yu Qian said in a daze: "In the Gyeonggi area and Kyushu outside the mountains, one stone per mu can be harvested, and wheat, beams and beans can be harvested twice a year. Isn't this exactly the dimension of ten mu for farming?"

What Yu Qian was talking about was the standard of going down to the farm. If a family has ten mu of land, two crops a year, and after the old mu tax is deducted, there will be about fifteen shi of crops harvested.

It is just enough for the adult labor remuneration that His Majesty said, and the labor remuneration must be more than twice the living expenses in order to properly raise the children.

Going to the farms to raise two children is just enough to support them.

But if it is less than ten mu, you have to be a servant, but the income is meager, and you can barely maintain it.

Gradually, the peasants became lazy people, people who did not work, and finally turned into bandits and bandits, causing disasters.

Yu Qian took a deep breath. He finally understood why His Majesty wanted to implement the farm law. In Gyeonggi, Kyushu outside the mountains, and Fujian, because of military disasters, anger and grievances, if labor wages were not increased, how could the common people afford to raise children?

Only by restoring the population can the national strength after the war be completely restored.

This coincides with what Liu Ji said back then that ten thousand husbands are all powerful.

It really is the legacy of Taizu!

Both Yu Qian and Wang Wen have worked in the governor's area for more than ten years. They are well aware of the sufferings of the people. They know that something is wrong, but they don't have a practical solution to solve this problem.

Twice can live, four times can read, six times can be prosperous, His Majesty gave a very detailed system to explain how much is enough for the people.

Chapter 216 It's only natural to pay off debts

"China, the country in the middle!"

"Da Ming has the most arable land, the most hardworking people, and the most reliable water conservancy under the universe. Daming is the richest country in the world, but it has always stagnated."

Zhu Qiyu paused for a moment, even Xining, Guo Jing and other two devils who were the forerunners of the captives, talked about everything, and they secretly communicated with someone in China.

The word China itself is the country in the middle.

What is the Middle Kingdom?

It is the cultural center, science and technology center, economic center and military center of the world.

This is the meaning of the central state, the central state.

Daming was incomparably strong, so strong that he was defeated in the first battle of the Beijing camp, and the army was defeated like a mountain, and he was still able to collapse one of Wala's front teeth.

"However, we have been in a stagnant state for a long time. This stagnant state will slowly decline due to wars and the people who started from the fields."

This is a fact that goes against common sense in economics and against objective laws.

Daming is in a superimposed state of rapid development and economic stagnation. When the court is watching, Daming is stagnating, but when the court is not watching, it is indeed developing at a high speed.

In this stagnant society, it is impossible to see the phenomenon.

But Daming is so miraculous, always in a kind of sustainable collapse, not collapse.

The sustainable stagnation state is a model that does not exist at all in the economics where if you do not advance, you will retreat, and if you retreat, you will perish. It is contrary to objective facts.

Daming, however, has always been in a sustainable state of stagnation.

Zhu Qiyu said: "It is impossible for you to find enough labor remuneration in Oala to raise your own children. The same is true for Jiaozhi, Majapahit, North Korea, and Wa."

"Because they are also stagnant, their population will slowly decrease, wars, barren land, one or two strongmen for a short time, rule for several years, the country advances, and then begins to decline again."

"If we can provide more than twice the remuneration needed for living, then we can prevent Daming from going backwards."

"If we provide a reward that is more than four times the cost of living, then we can make Daming develop at a high speed."

"If you provide more than six times the living expenses, then Daming will be invincible in the world!"

Zhu Qiyu is still in the attitude of seeking truth from facts.

The entry point is the barren land, the deserted horse administration, and the chaos in the southeast.

After discovering the problem of Ming Dynasty's policy at this time, he then gave the reason, that is, insufficient labor remuneration, and then proposed a solution to increase the labor remuneration.

Hu Wei picked up a pen and wrote quickly: "On Wushen Day in December of the first year of Jingtai, I went to Juxian Pavilion in the lecture hall to discuss Matian politics with the ministers, and generally discussed the gains and losses of the two politics."

"The above statement: the advancement of the people leads to the advancement of the country, the advancement of the country makes the people strong, the strength of the people leads to the prosperity of the country, and the prosperity of the country leads to the safety of the people.

Hu Wei hesitated for a moment, then deleted the words "Wan Shi Bu Yi", and after some consideration, wrote "Wan Shi Bu Yi" on it.

Hu Wei considered it again and again, and continued to write: "There is a virtue of being good at life, and the soul is in mind. If the people ask for twice the cost, they will live in peace; if it is doubled, they will know etiquette and shame; if it is doubled, they will be ten thousand people. Invincible all over the world.”

"Gai Rui's quality is strong, his writing is beautiful, and he doesn't hold back his ability. He has a pioneering move. The system of the country is lenient and strict, and troublesome and simple. The chapter of the emperor's financial affairs."

"In time, the officials will fulfill their duties, the military administration will be peaceful, the laws and regulations will be established, the storehouses will be filled, the people will live in peace and contentment, and there will be no disasters in the years, and there will be signs of peace."

Zhu Qiyu watched Hu Min write for a long time, and asked, "What did you write?"

After finishing the last stroke, Hu Wei was filled with emotions. He was already seventy-five years old this year, and at the age when he was old and half of his body was buried in the soil, he felt a lot of emotion when he saw Daming's rising momentum again.

He said to the written paper: "Submit it to Your Majesty."

Of course Zhu Qiyu could understand it. He frowned and looked at it for a long time and said, "Why are you all following Wu Qinghou's example and flattering?"

"Delete all the latter, it is better to make an annotation in front."

"For example, to ensure that labor remuneration is twice, four times and six times what is needed in life, this paragraph can be used in colloquial terms, which is easy to understand, and does not require others to comment, so as to save misreading."

"And what is this eternal law of finance and economics? It has been more than a thousand years since the first emperor devoured the six kingdoms. Has there ever been an eternal law in the world? Delete it."

A law of salt has been used for more than 700 years and remains unchanged. It is not a law that will last forever, but is slack in governance and slack in governance.

After all, Zhu Qiyu's throne was usurped, he could not retreat, every step forward, there was a cliff behind him.

This Hu Yan also washes the floor on weekdays, so how can he flatter him?

Yu Qian sat in the second seat. He read the content written by Hu Wei for a long time, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. He said every sentence from the bottom of his heart, and it was very reasonable.

Yu Qian handed it to Jin Lian again, Jin Lian shook his head, and passed it on.

You have an order, and Hu Wei naturally had to obey. He handed the rewritten meeting agenda to Xing'an.

After Xing'an compared the two copies, he immediately understood it. Others may not know it, but Xing'an is extremely clear.

His Majesty said to Chen Yi, that is, Chen Yi, the censor of the right capital who went to Zhang Qiu and teamed up with Xu Youzhen to control the water, he still took to heart what he said in Yanxing Tower that day, and he was very jealous.

After drinking, Chen Yi said wildly: Continue to work after the sun goes down; praise, praise to go to the sky; praise him as if he is on the sky; His Majesty has always kept these words in mind.

Although His Majesty disdained those words before, he only sent Chen Yi as an official and informed the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

But His Majesty has always been serious about any compliments, and even wary.

His Majesty is not good at scheming, even some hooks are too straight, and he has been unable to catch any big fish, so he had to start a Beijing inspection and take out every fish to have a look.

But His Majesty is very good at plotting, and he walks the Yangguan Avenue, and it is precisely because of the Yangguan Avenue that His Majesty walks that he is afraid of such praised plots.

Xing'an couldn't help but sigh, isn't the boast that His Majesty doesn't accept, what His Majesty is doing?

It's a pity that Chen Yi and Xu Youzhen are afraid that they will continue to patrol the area. Anyway, there are many rivers in the world, and they need to be managed slowly.

Shi Pu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is a very capable person. He immediately proposed to increase the labor remuneration for the craftsmen of Shijing Factory.

Shi Pu has long noticed that the labor intensity of the Shijing Factory is extremely high, but he cannot get a matching remuneration. Now he has an estimate of the labor remuneration of the craftsmen of the Shijing Factory.
