I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 852
Once Nanjing lost their current status as the accompanying capital.

Those thousands of officials in Nanjing, once scattered in the nebula, the whole building will collapse.

At that time, there will be at least 10,000+, or even hundreds of thousands of people, who will lose their source of livelihood at once.

This kind of thing, don't say that those officials can't bear it, these people can't bear it either.

If this part is only a few thousand or tens of thousands, then it can be barely resolved by spreading it evenly.

However, there is no way to easily solve the 10,000+ or ​​even hundreds of thousands of unemployed people.

Some people may wonder, how could such a large-scale career boom be caused by only a few thousand officials missing.

This is actually very easy to explain.

Although there is no quota for the officials of Ming Dynasty, how many domestic servants each official's family can support.

But in fact, after so many years of exploration, in fact, everyone basically has a scale that everyone defaults to.

For a high-ranking official like Yang Shiqi, who can be called the head of civil servants, if he doesn't have one or two hundred servants in his family, it will be embarrassing.

Plus his own family, relatives who came to join him, and shopkeepers in his shop and so on.

All in all, the number of people in his family who can be directly related to Yang Shiqi is about three to five hundred.

The scale of Yang Shiqi's family is actually not that big.

There are plenty of people richer than him.

Just like Zhu Gaoxu, king of the Han Dynasty, his whole family is at least three to five hundred people only in the capital. If you count his people in Zhuangzi in various places, it may add up to thousands, or even 500 people.

This is not counting the officials and their families in his fief.

But in any case, the size of Yang Shiqi's family can be regarded as the middle and upper reaches.

Take his home as a reference.

It is normal for the second and third rank officials to have one or two hundred people in their families.

It is reasonable to have three to fifty people in the family for the fourth and fifth rank officials.

Rank six or seven, the officials of this class are a bit different.

No matter how you say it, the officials above the fourth rank can be regarded as high-ranking officials who can be listened to by the heavens, so their various styles are not watched by the court and the emperor.

There are quite a few people below who are looking forward to their downfall to make room for themselves, so in order to secure their positions and not leave anyone with a reason to attack them, even if they want to enjoy a better life, they will try their best to compress and control their own scale to a certain extent.

But the sixth and seventh grade officials are not the same.

These officials can be regarded as the lowest level among the middle-level cadres of the Ming Dynasty, and they are basically local officials.

As the local emperor of one side, there is no pressure from anyone under his command to grab his own job. Those who plan to live like this for the rest of their lives and do not plan to be promoted again can make as much ostentation as they can.

Some county magistrates' mansions, private houses, and servants are even more ostentatious than many Beijing officials.

Such people are actually not uncommon in Daming.

That's a little bit too far.

Back to the topic of Nanjing.

Of the thousands of officials in Nanjing, at least half of them are above the seventh rank. Even if these people are not as grand as the Beijing officials, it is still possible to reach half of them.

Even if these people are based on 1000 people, if all their servants and family members are counted together as an average of 50 people, then there are about 5 people living around them.

If you include the civil officials of the eighth and ninth ranks in Nanjing, their family servants, and the whole family together, it is estimated that [-] yuan will not be able to beat it.

If it is only officials who lose their jobs, they are all educated and have experience as officials after all. It is not too difficult to find a job to support their families.

But without official positions, salaries and gray sources of income, it is absolutely impossible for them to maintain the life of a big family.

So at least 8 to [-] people will lose their source of income.

These people are only the number of family members attached to officials, not counting those practitioners who have served the government all the year round.

The restaurants and restaurants they often go to, and even the romantic places, at least half of the people will go bankrupt without a regular source of customers.

Those bearers and horsemen who provide human services are the first to bear the brunt.

Without officials as big consumers, the entire tourism industry in Nanjing will also be greatly impacted.

Previously, the group of officials and eunuchs who went boating and playing on Xuanwu Lake would be reduced by more than half at once.

Without them, those who do small businesses around Xuanwu Lake, and those who open restaurants and teahouses will inevitably close down a large number of them.

As a result of this, the unemployment wave caused by the layoff of officials alone is enough to amount to hundreds of thousands.

If you count the cancellation of the accompanying capital status and the devastating impact on business, the impact of hundreds of thousands may be light.

It is possible that the entire city of Nanjing will suddenly fall from one of the largest comprehensive cities in the country to a second-rate city.

If one or two of these unemployed people like to jump around and don't think it's a big deal, it's easy to provoke these people to sabotage.

If someone with a heart is manipulating their thoughts behind their backs, the chaos that may arouse will be even more unstoppable.

Li Tian was also worried that this kind of thing would really happen, so he asked Yang Shiqi and others to refrain from leaking this secret before fully formulating a plan to appease these unemployed people.

But at the same time, Li Tian also knew that the reason why Liu Bian would not reveal this secret to more people.

Because Liu Bian is a person who is good at using tactics, but if a country falls into huge chaos, everyone will struggle desperately to survive.

At that time, who would care about tricks or not.

And he didn't want too many people to sacrifice because of one of his actions, at least this beginning shouldn't be started by himself.

He hated the Zhu family's royal family, hated them for killing his father and grandfather, leaving no room for them.

But he doesn't hate the people of Daming.

If it is necessary to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent people in order to justify the name of his ancestors, don't say that he cannot pass this hurdle himself.

I'm afraid that when he comes to the underworld, his father and grandfather will hunt him down to the ends of the earth.

What the Liu family is good at is the ability to govern the country and the world, not the conspiracy and tricks of bloody slaughter.

Even if it is revenge, it also needs to win in a fair and honest way.

If this tricky method of sacrificing the names of countless people is used, I am afraid that he himself will not agree.

Li Tian also understands that Liu Bian thinks that there will be no problems in Nanjing for the time being.
