On every construction site, there are basically several storytellers. These people have one characteristic, that is, they can exaggerate the sage of the current emperor Zhu Youxiao through various stories.

The people like to listen to stories the most. They just say that the emperor is very pale and powerless, but using stories to promote the best effect.

Such publicity has achieved very good results.

After all, the emperor paid for urban infrastructure, and the facts proved that the emperor was directed at their poor people. On the contrary, the Donglin Party was greedy for Zhang and abused the law and arrested a large number of people by the emperor, and seized millions of taels of property. Who would be willing to pay millions of cars of silver to slander others?

Zhu Youxiao naturally became very popular with the people at the bottom, and he was praised continuously. Because the emperor's behavior is in line with the interests of the people at the bottom, he is a good emperor in the eyes of the people at the bottom.

But the emperor shook the interests of the landlords and merchants and the powerful. In the eyes of these people, Zhu Youxiao was a foolish monarch.

But the number of these people is small after all. When ordinary people are praising Zhu Youxiao, their voices are drowned in the wave. At this time, at most they can still bbw in some handwritten newspapers.

Not long after, the Donglin Party's navy was spreading rumors, and was beaten to death by a group of angry people. The man who was beaten to death was publicly spreading rumors in a tavern and scolded the emperor for being foolish. He did not speak out in a few minutes. In the end, he aroused public outrage and was beaten to death by several people.

When the constable arrived at the scene, he arrested several people involved in the beating. But not long after, everyone was released.

After all, the law does not blame the masses. At this time, China is a law enforcement model that emphasizes reason and law. The so-called reason is the reason before and law is behind. As long as the reason makes sense, the law must make concessions.

If the law can override Daola, wouldn’t the court be unreasonable?

What is the truth?

The core idea of ​​Taoism is to override the law of "the strong prey on the weak" and not obey this basic rule. Therefore, bullying the weak is contrary to the truth. The core of Taoism's academic is to "reverse", which sees through the laws and violates the laws, so that humans can dominate themselves instead of being completely dominated.

Westerners do not have Taoist academics, so their code of conduct is to follow the law of the strong prey on the weak, and even more so in Japan. In various animations in later generations, this idea of ​​the strong prey on the weak is to promote.

This is why China and Western countries and Japan say irrational reasoning, because there is no reason for others. Do you make sense to them? Isn’t this a brain-sucking thing?

Since ancient times, China has always been responsible for the law and the law behind. Laws must be held, but they will be punished at the discretion of their discretion. Some are even exempt from punishment.

Someone spread rumors about the emperor and was beaten to death by an angry people. The news was too exciting. At the same time, the constable caught the person and immediately released him like a hot potato.

This person is really unavailable! After all, the guy who was beaten to death spread rumors that the emperor was the first, and the people supported the emperor before they beat him up. No matter how you say it, you will be justified! The guy who was beaten to death was beaten to death in vain.

In fact, the one who took the lead in beating people was a propagandist in the development of Jinyiwei.

During this public opinion propaganda process, the merchants who operated joint ventures with Royal Capital also made a lot of effort. The teahouses, taverns and other places opened by these merchants participated in the publicity activities.

As the publicity deepened, some stories that promoted the emperor's saints were soon adapted into zajus, which was very popular among the people.

In the capital, the emperor and the people who spread rumors about the Donglin Party quickly disappeared in public because they no longer dared to come out to spread rumors.

There are spies from Jinyiwei and Dongchang everywhere. Whoever dares to spread rumors openly will lead a group of people to beat them. Just apply some medicine for the fall and injury if you are lucky. It is normal to be beaten to death if you are unlucky.

When those navy soldiers saw this attitude, they would not dare to come out to do anything! If they want to make this money, they have to fight for their lives!

On the contrary, the spies from the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang Factory all promoted the black materials of the Donglin Party, while praising the emperor with practical things that the emperor did for the people.

The Donglin Party was stunned when she saw it. The situation was in the wrong direction! It shouldn't be like this!

But the situation has already developed to this level, and the reputation of the Donglin Party is rapidly becoming stinky. On the contrary, the emperor's reputation is soaring.

The difficult people's livelihood makes the people yearn for a wise lord and saint, leading them out of the predicament. Zhu Youxiao successfully created such a grand image in the minds of the people through practical actions and various propaganda methods.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao is continuing to develop monopoly capital.

First of all, the slaughterhouse in the capital was fully controlled, and several breeding companies were established with private capital. Cao Jinyu also actively established a breeding company with Zhu Youxiao.

There are many wheat bran, rice bran, pig farming, etc. in the grain store.

All pork supply in the capital must be purchased from the official designated slaughterhouse. The price of pork was directly stabilized at the level of fifteen cents per pound due to the intervention of royal capital. In the Ming Dynasty, the lives of ordinary people were better than those of the Qing Dynasty, and pork was also more expensive, while the price of fat was about ten cents.

The purchase price has also stabilized, which also ensures that farmers have money to make money.

The most important thing is to expand the scale of production. Wealth is generated through labor. The problem in the north is that the scale of production is insufficient and the purchasing power of the people is insufficient.

Now that the scale of production is expanded and the purchasing power of the people is improved, will the people's life be easier!

For example, if you spend a sum of money, let the people carry out production and construction, then the people can buy goods and consume them after they get the money.

If the goods consumed by ordinary people are monopolized, the money can be gradually taken back by the consortium and then continued to be spent, providing a large number of jobs again.

Under such a cycle, employment will increase. The continuous construction will also increase the production of goods and meet the needs of the people.

During the entire process, the consortium actually paid nothing. The goods purchased by the people are all the wealth produced by the people's own labor. The consortium is equivalent to organizing the labor force for production and then extracting part of the wealth.

If this cycle is to continue, it is necessary to increase monopoly so as not to lose funds to those high-income groups.

This money is placed in the hands of ordinary people. As long as there is no large leakage, it is equivalent to the money of the consortium. Because ordinary people want to consume, the money will eventually flow back to the consortium.

However, some of the funds will definitely be earned by merchants, and at this time the role of taxation will be played. The funds will be returned through taxation.

For a country controlled by a consortium, the money of the state is the money of the consortium, and the money of the consortium can also be the money of the state, but it is just a matter of changing the left hand to the right hand.

Royal Capital, which Zhu Youxiao developed at this time, is developing into the consortium model.

It is necessary to increase monopoly.

Royal Capital is now able to supply grain to the people, so then the supply of pork, vegetables, and cloth and other commodities will basically form a preliminary and complete monopoly system.

So Royal Capital quickly launched several construction projects, namely the construction of breeding bases in various towns in Northern Zhili, and the construction of vegetable planting bases.

Long-distance vegetable trafficking in the Ming Dynasty was still very common, but the types of vegetables in the north were relatively single in winter, and it was basically Chinese cabbage in winter.

It is also possible to monopolize the market sales channels with only monopoly on the market. However, the output cannot be controlled. When will farmers suddenly plant more? The market cannot digest it, and then it will be unsalable.

Hiring workers to grow vegetables and monopolize urban vegetable sales channels, the advantage is that the yield is stable, the price is stable, and there will be no vicious competition. This monopoly of vegetables does not require much money to make. Workers can be treated better in the process of vegetable production, and it is okay to reduce the price of vegetables. Anyway, the money is in the hands of ordinary people. This kind of industry that concerns the lives of ordinary people does not need to pursue such high profits in the process of operating. The price increase can only be carried out when the income of ordinary people is generally increased. For example, in later generations, mineral water in China was one dollar per bottle, while mineral water in the United States was one dollar. It is equivalent to the common people in China and the United States used all their money to buy mineral water, and the purchasing power was similar.

Urban infrastructure is still continuing to develop. Under Zhu Youxiao's personal planning, the affordable housing project began to be built in the suburbs outside the city.

Not all the population of the capital is inside the capital, and there are many houses outside the city, even sticking to the city walls. This phenomenon is very common because the development of the city has made the land inside the city walls too small.

The affordable housing project is naturally built outside the city.

The first phase of the affordable housing project in Beijing is planned to be resettled 10,000 households. After the resettlement, the shanty towns (slums) in the city will be renovated.

After the construction project continued, the spiritual outlook of the entire capital changed. In the streets and alleys, the poor people who were numb and were sitting alone disappeared and became figures sweating on the construction site. The poor people with income were immediately nourished.

The people in the entire capital became very busy.

People were busy working on construction sites, businessmen and friends were busy doing business, showing the prosperity of all industries. Because most of the people had jobs, and because of the economic effects driven by these construction projects, private businessmen also began to increase investment and increase employees, and soon there was a shortage of labor in the capital.

When a businessman hires workers, he has to increase his wages. He is at least 30 cents a day. His work must be easier than on the construction site, and he has to serve bread and other food at noon.

Although the wages were paid a little more, the business was easy to do, and many businessmen also smiled. Those small and medium-sized merchants did not feel disgusted with the Tax Bureau at this time because the Tax Bureau rarely troubled them. Especially small street vendors and shops run by small funds, the Tax Bureau would not collect taxes from them at all.

This time, the purchasing power of the people has increased, so their business has naturally been done a lot.

The new atmosphere of the capital has made the people strongly support Emperor Zhu Youxiao. What kind of foolish monarchs and wise monarchs seem very simple to the people, that is, whether they have changed their lives.

There is no need to let them live a better life. As long as they see a little hope in life, they will be the wise emperor in their eyes. (To be continued...)
