Ming Dynasty: Domination of the World from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 296 The Ming Dynasty will prosper!

The result was not unexpected to Xia Zhibai.

Some people choose to stay, while others choose to leave.

The number of people is mixed.

Deng Muzi said: "We can go north, but we have to take the whole family with us."

Xia Zhibai smiled and said, "That's natural."

"Not only that, the government also knows that you are under great pressure to make a living in such a short time, and will find a way to solve it for you. The women in your family will be placed in the textile factory to do some textile work."

"This textile factory uses the same new technology as the salt factory."

“Weaving is faster and more efficient.”

"The situation of the cloth coming out is better."

Hear the words.

Deng Muzi and others were shocked.

In China, men have been farming and women have been weaving since ancient times. Now, are we going to take away even the ability to weave?

Xia Zhibai obviously saw their concerns and explained, "You don't have to be so nervous. The textile factory I opened is different from your daily ones. It mainly deals with cotton cloth, not silk, and it mainly solves the shortage of clothing for ordinary people."

"Food, clothing, housing and transportation are what people care about most."

"It is also what the court cares about the most."

“Therefore, solving the worries of the people has always been part of the court’s plan.”

“The textile mill was one of them.”

"This will not really squeeze the weaving of ordinary women, but it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no impact at all. However, the cotton we collect comes from farmers, and we just concentrate all the weaving processes in the middle in the factory."

"When your women go to the north, the government will make corresponding arrangements."

“Some of the women will go into textile factories.”

"Also, you can rest assured that the government is sending you to fill the population gap in the north, not to send you to the battlefield. When you land in the north, you will mostly land on the southern side, not near the garrison."

"I confirmed this with the government a long time ago."

"at the same time."

"When you land in the north, you will receive certain subsidies. In the first two years, you will be exempted from certain corvée and taxes, and the land tax will be reduced. All of this is to allow you to truly settle down. If any of you can enter the salt factory, coal factory, or even the iron smelting factory, you will be treated the same as ordinary workers."

"At present, the factory owned by me, Xia Zhibai, still emphasizes more work, more pay."

"As long as you have strong abilities, you will be able to get high returns."

"Besides."

"If you don't want to farm, or don't want to work in the salt factory, coal factory, etc., you can do other jobs according to your preferences. The local government will not stop you, and no one will stop you, but I have said it in advance."

“Worker and peasant status is temporary.”

"Once you decide what you want to do, your residence will be determined from then on."

“It can’t be changed at will anymore.”

“So you need to think carefully in advance.”

"So that you won't regret it later."

Xia Zhibai also decided to make things clear first.

He didn't want to go to the north because these people had other ideas.

The people in the north are tough, and if he keeps going back on his word, the local government may not give him face.

Besides, those vassal kings don't have to give him face.

He doesn't have such a big face.

Deng Muzi and the others looked solemn and didn't feel anything.

They don't have so many thoughts.

They were forced to move north, and it was not easy for them to settle down, so how could they dare to have any extra thoughts? However, after hearing Xia Zhibai's words, they felt relieved. At least the government was not lying to them and was really thinking about them.

even.

Deng Muzi was already thinking, if he could get into the salt factory and his wife could get into the textile factory, would his family's life be much better?

He had heard it before.

The workers at Kyoto Salt Industry are paid monthly.

And the salary is not low.

Think of this.

His resistance to going north was much lessened, and he even had a little more expectation in his heart. Instead of continuing to worry about being tossed around and threatened by local officials in the south, it would be better to go to a new place and start over. Not only Deng Muzi, but others were also quite tempted.

If the women in the family could share the pressure after they moved north, their pressure would undoubtedly be much less.

Li Dali looked apprehensive at this time and said, "Sir, are you telling the truth? Are you not lying to us? Why don't I believe it? Isn't this too good to be true?!"

Xia Zhibai laughed and said, "What does this mean?"

"It's not like everyone in the world can have one, only the household registration system. However, with the popularization of machines, the collapse of the existing household registration system is inevitable. In the future, the household registration system in the world will become much simpler and purer."

"in addition."

“Maybe one day, your children will also be able to receive an education.”

"You can even become an official."

"That day may not come, and it may not be too far away."

"When the world changes, there will always be people who will experience it first. You are just the first group."

“But it won’t be the last batch.”

"As for how to resettle them, I can only give you a general idea. The north is a vast area and cannot be generalized. You will need to make your own decisions at that time. But you can rest assured that once you go to the north, everything you did in the south will be written off."

“No one will mention it, and no one will care.”

“Everything starts all over again.”

Deng Muzi nodded, his heart already excited.

This meeting was far beyond his imagination.

He originally thought that the government was just going through the motions, and they even came with the belief that they would die. If the government really wanted to force them to surrender, he would never agree. As a result, the government did not do so. Instead, they politely explained to them and arranged follow-up for them.

All aspects have been taken into consideration.

If he had known this earlier, why would he have resisted for so long?

Deng Muzi said, "Sir, you are a good official. We trust you. Isn't it just going north? Let's go. Anyway, I have been in Yuhang for a long time. Going north is nothing. Just listen to your advice and start over in the north. I have hands and feet, and you have arranged it so well. I don't believe I can't make a living."

"Correct."

"We may be ostracized by the government in the south, so we might as well go north. Although it is a bit dangerous, at least we don't have to worry anymore and can live a good life. It doesn't matter if I don't work as a cook. I can change my life and live a different way."

"That's right, what's so good about being a cook? I have to get up early and go to bed late every day, and I can't even afford to eat and sleep. I don't want to do this job anymore."

"."

Listening to the excited words around him, Fang Erniu showed a struggle in his eyes.

He was also moved.

The conditions provided by the government to the cooks who moved north were too generous.

This is even better than the conditions His Majesty gave when ordering the relocation of the population to the north.

But after a surge of blood, he gradually calmed down. He was not deeply involved in the riot among the kitchen residents, and the government would basically not blame him. Besides, he was not young anymore and was exhausted from the journey. He really could not bear it. Considering the reality, he decided to stay in Yuhang.

With the help of farming tools provided by the government, he reclaimed a few acres of land and lived a stable life.

That's enough.

Although the north is good, it is not what he wants.

Fang Erniu looked at the smiling Li Dali and Deng Muzi and smiled with relief. This time, things finally went smoothly. They no longer had to worry about their livelihoods and they had a good place to go. Most of them left willingly. Even if there were those who did not want to leave, the government gave them a choice.

He lived so long.

This is the first time I have seen government officials so friendly.

So considerate of the people.

Think of this.

Fang Erniu couldn't help but look forward to it. If all the officials of the Ming Dynasty could be like the imperial envoy, then how could the Ming Dynasty not prosper?
How can the people not prosper?
The atmosphere was pleasant and harmonious.

Li Dali and Deng Muzi's worries were completely resolved, and Xia Zhibai also got a satisfactory answer.

Both parties were satisfied with the outcome.

This was actually expected.

The kitchen owners themselves did not have many choices. As long as they could survive and not be targeted by the government, they would be very grateful. Moreover, the government had made such a great effort this time, how could they not be grateful.

Got to the back.

Some people even shouted excitedly "Long live the Ming Dynasty".

The shouts echoed for a long time.
