Chapter 879 The rapid development of the Ming Dynasty is actually not many stubborn gentry in the Ming Dynasty, after all, no one wants to live with money, they don't integrate into the Ming society, and they can't enjoy the kind of high-quality life they used to have.After all, they don't have much money in their hands.To give a very simple example, in the Ming Dynasty of the Zhu family, they could live a luxurious life of stretching out their hands with clothes and opening their mouths with food, but now they can't.First of all, no one wants to sell themselves into slavery anymore, and the whole family of the Ming Dynasty legislates, any contract of sale is an illegal contract, and people are not allowed to buy and sell, and people are bought and sold to raid homes.Even if you don't go to a big family to be a maid or a servant, just find a job, you will have no worries about food and clothing, now some rich people want to find a maid or servant, and the salary given is very high, almost four or five taels of silver per month, because the job of the maid has to levy a high tax, even if the master pays four or five taels of silver per month, in fact, the money that the maid gets is only about one or two silver.Far from earning much from serving dishes in a restaurant, Quan Xu is also a dual measure to get rid of the servility in the hearts of the people.Of course, there are also people who are not bad for money who are willing to pay such a high fee and hire a large number of servants, but if there are more than ten servants in the whole family, the tax rate will be a higher level.If you want to pretend to be forced to pay the price in the Ming Empire.However, if you own a business, hiring workers is a different story.For example, a mine owner, depending on the actual situation, can hire dozens to hundreds of security personnel, and he treats these security personnel as his servants, which is also allowed by law.The gentry who are unwilling to stay in Daming have almost gone, and those who have not left now have either accepted the reality or are unwilling to still have illusions.In fact, Quanxu's expedition did not start directly from the port of Tianjin, but took the train all the way south, and built two railways from Beijing, one along Beijing, Tianjin, Cangzhou, and Jinan, and now it has been repaired to Xuzhou, and the south of Xuzhou has not yet been repaired.The other is to the south of Beijing, through Zhuozhou, Quanjia Villa, Gaoyang, Baoding, Damingfu, Henan, so far it has also been repaired to Henan.After seven iterations, the silent effect of the current steam train has been much better, and the environmental hygiene is also good, especially the speed, which is basically about to catch up with the slow trains of later generations.The speed can be stabilized at 60 kilometers per hour, this time out of the tour, Quan Xu took Sanniang and Helena, the train stopped at the family villa station, Helena finally saw the complete state of the railway station, there are six clean and tidy platforms, the height of the ticket hall and the waiting hall is at least ten meters, passengers enter the platform through the rooftop to take the train, leave the platform through the underground passage, the staff on the platform are basically women, which makes Helena very surprised.Even in Venice, there are not many women like her who show their heads, the so-called male protagonist and female protagonist only exist in the upper class, the real bottom people have no choice, even underage children have to enter the factory to work, and women are the same.However, Daming is better, at least no factory or enterprise dares to accept child labor, once the defendant is reported or caught, he will directly raid his home and help the victim hide or transfer assets for the same crime, and his home will also be raided.If you open the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you will find that a punishment is very frequent, that is, the seizure of the house, which is stipulated by Quanxu, and some people in Quanxu are also jokingly called the emperor of the copying house, and the ministers or gentry who were copied by Quanxu, not to mention millions?
Daming's emancipation of women is already very in place, and many occupations are mostly women, such as the textile industry, food processing industry, handicraft industry or service industry.Of course, there are very few women in government departments, and only a few women are in the civil affairs departments, police departments, and urban management departments, and the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Communications, and the Ministry of Taxation are all men.However, the proportion of women in the army is also increasing year by year, of course, these women are mainly military doctors and quartermaster management civilian personnel, not to mention the large population of Daming, human resources are very tight, service personnel, internal staff, nurses, teachers......
Quan Xu will definitely not ignore the role of half the sky, take 10,000 steps back and say that at least men and women are not tired of working together, the proportion of female students in major universities in Daming is close to 20%, more than 35% in middle schools, and more in primary schools, and in a few years, women will enter almost all industries."
It's just a small town?"
Helena feels that this family town has surpassed the city of Venice in terms of population, prosperity, or infrastructure.As the capital of the Republic of Venice, Venice has a permanent population of no more than 35,000 people, which is already a large city in Europe.Although it can't be compared with a metropolis like Beijing, which costs millions at every turn, it can't be compared with a small town, which makes Helena very hurt."
That's right!"
Quan Xu said with some pride: "Do you know the history of the establishment of this town?
”"When I can't read?"
Helena said: "This is called the Family Villa, when I was in the second year of Chongzhen, I passed through here, and there was no ...... of this town" "Yes, this is Chongzhen three years of construction began to be built one after another, and it has only been ten years!"
”The family villa is Quanxu's private property, no, it should be Zhu Weiyuan's private property now, where the eunuchs and palace ladies who have been successively removed from the palace have been placed, and now the total population has exceeded 60,000 people, and the original six isolated islands have formed a whole.Connected by bridges, it gives Helena a sense of intimacy, because it is a city on the water, like the city of Venice, with horse-drawn carriages and boats.The basic buildings here are mainly gray, white and red, reinforced concrete embankments, roads, and a large number of houses and buildings.With trains and highways, the family villa has become the largest meat supply base in Beijing.Of course, the highway of this era is completely incomparable with the highway of later generations, and even the provincial highway of later generations is also compared, but there is just a name, and the provincial highway of later generations can also carry fifty or sixty tons of heavy truck, at this time, the load of the carriage is far from being comparable with the car.The traffic is developed, the business is prosperous, the flow of people is surging, and it is busy.With the aquatic capacity of Baiyangdian, the supply of Beijing City must be seriously insufficient, however, there is no problem, there are now a large number of live chickens, live pigs, live sheep slaughtered here, in the name of the royal family, into the ordinary people's homes.Don't say it, the common people really eat this set, even if there are more royal special supplies, not only the price is 30% higher, but the same supply exceeds demand.The influence of capital is everywhere, the largest number of hotels in Daming is Yuelai Inn and Bafang Hotel, these two hotels are very tacit, Yuelai Inn plays the civilian route, and the Bafang Hotel takes the civilian route, and the result is that the Bafang Hotel, which was established later, is now all over the major cities of Daming, as long as there are branches of the Bafang Hotel in a slightly decent city.Helena said: "This is called the Family Villa, when I was in the second year of Chongzhen, I passed through here, and there was no ...... of this town" "Yes, this is Chongzhen three years of construction began to be built one after another, and it has only been ten years!"
