Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 89 In just half a year, Yongding County has changed a lot!
In the spring of this year, more and more refugees came to Yongding County.

The number of people is increasing.

Construction in all aspects also needs to keep up.

The previous population was still around 6000, but now it has swelled to [-].

With a large number of people, the complexity of management is simply multiplied by geometric multiples.

However, fortunately, in the past half a year, some people have been cultivated. Zhang Haogu mentioned the official to Zhu Youxiao before, but in fact, it has gradually been established in Yongding County.

These officials can read and write, and letting them take charge of the management of these new refugees is also to exercise their abilities.

Make clear regulations.

It is not allowed to beat and scold the refugees, and unified management is required.

It is not a big problem to appease the [-] refugees.

In addition, Zhang Haogu established a college here - Datong College.

It is taken as the word "Datong" in Liyun Datong.

All the alternate officials are students of Datong Academy, followed by refugees who have settled here, as long as they are of age, they can be absorbed.

Here, there are not many Confucian classics.

However, medicine, arithmetic, physics, architecture, these things are very popular. Sometimes, Zhu Youxiao has to be a teacher in person.

In addition, it is to conduct the necessary political education courses.

This group of people will be Zhang Haogu's henchmen.

And Zhang Haogu never wanted them to be just his henchmen.

Have your own program and have the ability to execute.

The dean is Zhu Youxiao, and the deputy dean is Zhang Haogu.

Its core idea is to realize the Datong world.

There is support for the old, education for the young, support for the poor, support for the difficult, and support for the widowed, lonely, disabled and sick.

These words are defined as school motto.

In addition, Zhang Haogu has not been idle during this time, he is silently writing "The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook".

Make it yourself first, and then see if you can make oil-plate printing. If you can do it, prepare a large number of prints, so that batches of students can quickly master the knowledge in it.

Today's Yongding County's income mainly comes from two major sources.

One is that Cui Chengxiu, who was repairing the three halls, is now the contractor.

Cui Chengxiu originally flattered Eunuch Wei and finally became the minister of the Ministry of War to join the cabinet, but he was sent to Yongding County in the end.

After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Cui Chengxiu's attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn, from the previous cheating and slipping to now honestly starting to farm and work.

Now he has even become a contractor and contracted the reconstruction project of the three main halls.

Cui Chengxiu's offer was not high, about 30 taels.

This amount was quickly accepted by Zhu Youxiao.

After all, in history, it cost more than 600 million taels of silver. It is completely unknown how much oil and water there is on the surface, and how much greed is there.

30 taels is the labor cost. The wood is ready-made, mainly because a lot of wood has been accumulated since Wanli.

And Cui Chengxiu is also in fear every day.

Because Zhu Youxiao occasionally participates in to see the progress of the scene.

Don't expect to deceive yourself, the emperor, with money.

Zhang Haogu formulated a wicked system, allowing these craftsmen to leapfrog feedback.

If you suspect that Cui Chengxiu has embezzled money, you should state the reason, get the evidence, and report directly.

Once verified, there will be a big reward.

In addition, it is necessary to make statistics of all daily expenses and show it to all workers. If there is any problem, it will be reported to you directly.

But now, facing this situation, Cui Chengxiu dare not embezzle even if he has 1 guts.

The second is that the stares are too strict.

It was easy to fool in the past, but now, it is not so easy to fool.

Because these craftsmen are literate.

In addition, if the 30 taels are not used up and there is some balance left, it will be given to these craftsmen as a bonus.

The premise is that the acceptance is qualified.

There is no cutting corners, it must be built well, if it fails the acceptance, the other party is the emperor, you can figure it out.

It is necessary to prevent collective corruption and collective cut corners.

These means are to cut off the hands of corruption.

In addition, this dog emperor's energy is not generally strong, and he has to check his bills every day.

The second income of Yongding County is the three-legged golden toad.

In addition to Jingshi, the sales volume has also expanded to the whole country.

A baby who can live in a house.

Mainly, he can really spit out gold coins.

Although this thing is a trap, it can be used to show off to some extent.

Plus the legend of Zhu Yuanzhang and Shen Wansan.

It is unlikely that a three-legged golden toad will sell for 1 taels, but 1000 taels is also possible.

Not long ago, this three-legged golden toad was sold in Jiangnan, and it was sold for a sky-high price of 1 taels in one go.

After all, the gentry in Jiangnan are still rich.

The current situation in Daming is also extremely polarized between the rich and the poor. The poor gnaw on the bark, but the rich can buy a dead thing without even batting an eyebrow.

The profit brought by the three-legged golden toad is higher than that of wood.

It is also an important source of finance for Yongding County.

As for the cotton and cloth produced on a small scale, although they have made a lot of money, there are not many raw materials. This thing needs to be produced on a large scale to exert its power.

……

……

"what is this?"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes suddenly fell on the carriages.

"Your Majesty, these are sweet potatoes transported from the south!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "In Fujian, there is a Chen family. They discovered a brand new crop from Nanyang, which is this kind of sweet potato. The yield is extremely high, at least ten times the current grain yield per mu. Chen is here When the Ministry of Household Affairs saw the memorial, it ordered people to buy sweet potatoes, and let the Chen family father and son come to the north to specialize in planting sweet potatoes. If they can be popularized, as far as my Ming Dynasty is concerned, it can feed tens of millions of people!"

"There really is such a thing?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Zhang Haogu nodded: "I have read the memorandum of the Ministry of Household Affairs. In addition, I also ordered people to investigate on the spot. The difference is not bad, but I don't know how to plant it in the north. Therefore, I specially called the Chen family to let them plant it in the capital. , if it is possible, I will have no worries about food!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "If this is the case, they have made great contributions to the country, and I will give them a title. Later, you will call the children of the Chen family and show me!"

"My emperor is holy!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile.

The descendants of the Chen family were rewarded in the Qing Dynasty, but it was a pity that they met Qianlong, a stingy guy, who was only given a family background.

All dynasties have paid great attention to technical personnel who can increase grain production.

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Master, don't praise me. I often hear that the sage is no better than the Son of Heaven. However, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears, how would I know the suffering of the people, and how would I know what the people desire?"

Zhang Haogu opened his mouth again and said: "The fact that your majesty has such a heart shows that my majesty is benevolent!"

"It's me, I want to thank the master, if it weren't for the master, how would I know the suffering of the people!" Zhu Youxiao said sincerely.
