Li Mufan has been learning about the development of the Ming Kingdom through Wusi Lanma for half a year, and seeing is believing at this moment, which can't help but make him feel relieved.First of all, the food problem that has been plaguing the Ming Kingdom has been solved, and each of the four counties has a government-run grain production area, and Cuihua's fertile soil technology allows the grain to ripen once a month, and it has been able to supply the whole county.Of course, it is not given away for free, but sold to the people at a relatively cheap price.There is no such thing as a free lunch, and if you want to eat a full stomach, you still have to work.After the establishment of the four granaries, the unscrupulous grain merchants who maliciously raised the price of grain declared bankruptcy, and some people were unwilling to sabotage, but unfortunately they were all sent to prison for labor reform.The food problem has been basically solved, and the government's revenue problem has finally made a breakthrough.Not long ago, the first tax of Riyue County successfully arrived in Mingcheng, although it was only 400,000 gold coins, but it made Xun Yu and the others cry with joy.This is a leap forward, and it means that the miserable situation in which the treasury has been upside down has finally improved.It is believed that as the country continues to develop, the treasury's income and expenditure will gradually balance and even make a profit.In addition, what made Li Mufan excited was that the newborn ushered in a big outbreak.Stimulated by the government's welfare, the people who can fill their stomachs are finally willing to have children!
According to incomplete statistics, the number of babies born in this half year has reached 200,000, and the number is steadily increasing, this is the future of the empire!
Li Mufan has always attached great importance to education, and when he learned of this situation, he immediately paid out of his own pocket to build a large number of nurseries and kindergartens across the country, preparing for the future population explosion.In addition, all kinds of elementary and middle schools are already in full swing, and Mingcheng University now has 1,300 students.Li Mufan has ordered Ah Qiang to build new Riyue University, Liyang University, Yunlan University and Linjiang University, and as long as he can be admitted, all tuition fees will be free.I believe that in the near future, the Ming Kingdom will be full of talents and bright stars.He flew all the way through the clouds, and when he flew over Liyang County, he saw a large chimney emitting black smoke, and his face was full of smiles.Under the leadership of the Ministry of Households, most of the major government-run enterprises have been completed, and a large glass factory is located in Liyang County.Glass is a product that is deeply loved by the aristocracy, and since Li Mufan sold the first batch of glass products through the Crystal Chamber of Commerce, they were quickly sold out.He tasted the sweetness and simply set up a glass factory, which now has 2,000 employees and can generate nearly 80,000 spirit stones for the treasury every month, which can be described as the first money-making industry in the Ming Kingdom.In addition, industries such as steelmaking centers and pharmaceutical factories have also begun to operate.At present, all kinds of industries are owned by the government, but Li Mufan can foresee that as the skills of workers become proficient, there will definitely be people who go out to start businesses.At that time, the first industrial revolution of the Ming Kingdom version will be vigorously kicked off.In Li Mufan's mind, he wants to create an ideal country that integrates scientific and technological civilization and cultivation civilization, and naturally he will not stop there.He instructed Fan Qingyue to set up the Royal Bank, which combined the functions of currency issuance and deposit.Originally, no one bought the bank, but after Fan Qingyue released the big trick of interest, he immediately attracted the businessman.After successfully getting the first interest, the door of the bank was almost squeezed, and the merchants rushed to Mingcheng to deposit money, and even the people with a little money came.I don't know who started the trend, and having a royal bank savings card is a face-saving thing.()
