Chapter 658 is really not a son of man to judge from his heart, the palace prepared by Quan Xu for Chongzhen is very luxurious, especially the Qingquan Palace as the main palace, this kind of wooden building, if it is placed in the Central Plains, one will need to be repaired for a few years, or even several years.For Liaodong, it is too simple, the most mature machine tool in Liaodong is the woodworking machine tool, even if it is an apprentice who studies for a few months, he can also operate the machine tool and turn out accessories comparable to advanced technology.Just like the current Qingquan Palace, in fact, the Qingquan Palace is a palace built by imitating the Taihe Palace, even the size is the same, the face is 11 rooms wide, 5 rooms deep, 64 meters long, 37 meters wide, the construction area is 2377.00 square meters, the height is 26.92, and the height is 35.05 together with the base pass.The windows and doors on all sides are all carved, and the openwork carving process is very technical, even in Beijing, there are not many such craftsmen, and it will take at least a few years to build a palace of this scale.However, these doors and windows, including the carved beams and paintings, are all carved and polished by machines, which is not only efficient, but also more beautiful, and even the most picky person cannot find the flaws here.The only bad thing is that these woods are not dark wood, sandalwood or red sandalwood, just general oak, oak is dense, hard texture, moisture is not easy to drain, these years Quanxu and Helena trade, a large part of the raw materials are dry oak.Although most of the Galen ships in Europe are made of oak, Quanxu's warships are not actually made of oak, but use oak, a special wood in the eastern Liaodong region, which is now called oak, also called Mongolian oak, which looks like oak in density, but does not belong to the same family.Wood is similar, it is also hard, and it is the best material for making tools and crossbow machines, and this wood is very easy to shape under the processing of lathes.A master with a drawing, or with a few hundred laborers, can undertake the task of assembly, any palace, as well as the pedestals of the towers and pavilions, are made of reinforced concrete, and the floor is also paved with oak.The biggest difference with the Forbidden City is that the various paintings here, the painters seem a little rough, there is no way, these carved beams and paintings are all handicrafts of the industrial age, not a work of art.The right rear of Qingquan Palace belongs to Tangquan Palace, in fact, it is a name, but the palace where Emperor Chongzhen lives, which is more atmospheric, than the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City.Lying on the dragon bed, Emperor Chongzhen was exhausted and had no sleep.Different from the meeting when he just ascended the throne, Chongzhen has now left the cage of the Forbidden City, and has seen all the cities from Beijing to Tianjin, and also from Beijing to Kaifeng.Compared with Liaodong, these prefectures and counties, whether they are counties or cities, all have a strong twilight atmosphere.All over the Ming Dynasty are ragged people, beggars with skin and bones, or stinky garbage, along the way, the people of Liaodong all have oily faces and look full of energy, the key is that he did not see a beggar.When the emperor traveled, other local officials would also drive away beggars, but they could not erase the traces of beggars, but there were no beggars in Liaodong, and there were no large families to set up porridge sheds.What shocked Chongzhen the most was that starting from Lushun, passing through Fuzhou and Jinzhou, he encountered thirty or forty archways with place names, but he did not see a city wall.Chongzhen couldn't help but look at Wang Chengen and asked, "Wang Companion, you have been to Liaodong a few times, do all the cities have no walls?"
”"This, don't count it, more than half of the more than 100 counties in the eighteen prefectures of Liaodong actually have city walls, but most of the cities with city walls are located in Nuergandusi.""
If they don't build walls, aren't they afraid of building slaves?
Even if there are no slaves, there are bandits!
”Wang Chengen smiled bitterly: "Emperor, there are no bandits in Liaodong!"
”Liaodong is the northeast where there is room for bandits to survive, large and small ravines and cottages, no matter how many people are useless, but the key is that in Liaodong, not only is the risk of petty theft extremely high, but also bandits.Unlike the cowardice and cowardice of the people in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, the people here have armaments in every household, except for artillery and rocket artillery, such as bows, muskets, grenade shells, and mines, and Liaodong implements the Infinite Defense Law.As long as you are sure that the other party is a threat to you, you can defend yourself infinitely, of course, this is in your home, in a public place, that is not okay, military equipment such as knives and guns, unless it is time for military drills, it is not allowed to be taken out of the house.Liaodong's policy is not without influence, generally speaking, drinking and going to a wine shop, eating and going to a restaurant, no matter how good the relationship is, it is easy not to go to the other party's house to eat, in case the other party finds an opportunity to kill himself and die, it will be in vain, in the other party's house, it is not clear at all.Chongzhen felt like he had come full circle in Liaodong, just like any other place, and with Quan Xu in his company, he couldn't see the real thing.Thinking of this, Chongzhen hurriedly changed into a black robe, the most common in Liaodong, and Wang Chengen changed into a cyan servant suit, Wang Chengen quietly left Qingquan Palace with dozens of guards.In fact, Chongzhen had just left Qingquan Palace, and before he even had time to walk out of the back door of Qingquan Palace, Quan Xu already knew about Chongzhen's movements.Quan Xu directly instructed Xuan Yingwei: "Follow them and secretly protect their safety!"
”Ordered to do it completely, Quan Xu turned to look at Cao Huachun: "Look, Your Majesty doesn't believe me!"
”Cao Huachun sighed: "He doesn't believe in our family anymore!"
”Quan Xu smiled bitterly: "At this time, he won't let us go, let's go too, if you want to say that Your Majesty left the palace, I don't know, will you believe it?"
”"Unless you deliberately don't want to know!"
Quan Xu and Cao Huachun took a dozen attendants at the back door of Qingquan Palace and directly joined Chongzhen.If there are many people in the gentry ranks and businessmen who look forward to Quan Xu's death, but among the people and workers in Liaodong, one is counted as one, and they all hope that Quan Xu can live a long life, preferably long live the prince.Throughout the ages, as long as the common people have something to eat, they will not rebel, the industrial development of Liaodong is very good, but Quanxu has never neglected the development of agriculture.With the establishment of chemical fertilizer plants, phosphate fertilizer plants, potash fertilizer factories and large and small pesticide factories in Liaodong, the yield per mu of farmers is getting higher and higher, in Nanyang Mansion, the Grange under the jurisdiction of Tang Wangfu, the highest yield per mu is only less than 150 mu, in Liaodong, even if there is no chemical fertilizer and pesticides, the yield per mu is less than 300 catties, and they are embarrassed to go out to see people.Take wheat as an example, how can there be five or six hundred catties, it is not difficult to produce eight or nine hundred catties per mu with chemical fertilizer, and there can even be a thousand catties per mu, although the price of grain in Liaodong is not high, but the problem is that the yield is high, even if one stone of grain can only be sold for two or three dollars of silver, but three stones?
What about the four stones?
What about a dozen stones?
The income of the people of Liaodong is not low, if more than 100 acres of land are put into chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the net income of one mu of land can reach four yuan of silver, and 100 acres of land is 40 taels of silver.The distribution of land for the common people in Liaodong is based on the population, and the rule that ordinary people who are less than 40 years old can only take concubines unless they have no main wife, and the population of ordinary people's families is one wife and one concubine, or one wife and two concubines, and the average household land is more than 300 mu.Even if you don't have to work, you can earn 120 taels of silver just by relying on your grain income, of course, if you count the sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, eggs, and even cattle, horses, pigs and other domestic animals, the per capita annual income is about 60 taels of silver, and the average household income is not less than 200 taels of silver.This income in the Ming Dynasty, if there is no landlord of good land, it is impossible to do, even if it is a landlord of 10,000 acres of good land, it is impossible to make so much money, 10,000 acres of land, tenants can not find the race if they charge an extra bucket, and there is no mechanization, their income is lower.Chongzhen picked a common people, the male owner is called Lu Zhuzi, about thirty-five years old, he has four sons, three daughters, a wife and a concubine, the eldest son serves in the whole family army, and is currently stationed in Luzon.The second son was admitted to Liaodong University of Technology and is still studying.The eldest daughter, the second daughter and the third son, are studying at the school in Shigang Town, while the fourth son and the third daughter are under the age of three and are running around the yard with their bare buttocks."
Thank you Master Hou, if it weren't for you, there would be no current Lu Zhuzi!"
Lu Zhuzi's wife and concubine with a big belly were busy in the kitchen and preparing dinner.Chongzhen looked at Lu Zhuzi and asked, "How much land is there now?"
”"Count my eldest son?""
Count it!""
That's fifteen hundred acres!""
Fifteen hundred acres?"
Chongzhen suddenly lost interest in watching, what kind of people is this?
Even when the Ming Dynasty was founded, it did not give the people 1,500 acres of land, and the Yongle Dynasty had 62 acres of land per capita.More than 300 acres are also landlords.Lu Zhuzi looked at Chongzhen with some disbelief, he thought that Chongzhen was just Quan Xu's follower, and suddenly smiled: "My eldest son Lu Shanyue is a major regiment, participated in the Guangning merit, in the battle of Guangning, beheaded forty-seven levels, and the military merit field alone was 850 acres, and when he was still in Luzon, he made great contributions and rewarded 200 acres of land, my eldest son will come back for the Chinese New Year this year to get married, as long as he gets married, I will divide his family!"
”Hearing the forty-seventh level of beheading, Chongzhen's face changed slightly: "What a warrior!"
”If in the Ming Dynasty, a forty-seventh-level warrior can be beheaded in a battle, and Chongzhen will reward Lu Shanyue with a military attache of the third grade.Quan Xu asked: "1,500 acres of land, it is difficult for your family to finish planting, right?"
”"Alas!"
Speaking of this, Lu Zhuzi let out a long sigh: "I originally wanted my eldest son to retire from the army and come back, but he was going to be stationed in Luzon, and the second son should be an adult next year, but he wanted to stay in Jinzhou, and the eldest daughter was too, saying that she wanted to take the entrance examination to Liaodong Huatuo Medical College."
The third child is 12 years old this year and says he wants to be a navy......
What's the use of me buying such a big family business, and no child wants to take it over......
What a son of man!
