Chapter 36 Behind the buff
With the transfer of the political center, Chang'an City became the first city among the Tang Dynasty to experience an "employment crisis". Although there was no "employment crisis" in the entire Tang Dynasty, just like the overall "money shortage" of the Tang Dynasty, there was "inflation" in some areas, and "inflation" appeared. To the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City was the local area where the "employment crisis" occurred.
The gender of the age group of "employment crisis" is very special, concentrated in the age group under the age of 25 and over the age of 12. Most of them are male teenagers. The families are mostly small-scale farmers or old farmers, farmhouse households, and handicraftsmen in the city.
The imperial capital went from Chang'an to Luoyang, and at the beginning, the old and nobles of Longmen were left. However, as time went by, in just one year, the "wealthy families" in the east of Chang'an City tried their best to buy properties in the north of Luoyang City. It was really not possible. If you bought a house in the south of the city, you would also have to rent another house in the north of the city. No matter how big or small it was, it would not matter whether it was on the street or not.
A founding county man, a family of only a few dozen people, and a hundred people. If it were a family of Duke and Marquis, and the family was once quite famous, it would be even more popular. Like the Changsun family, the entire family, from masters to slaves, even guests, aides, and idle people, may not be able to fill in the whole family.
Most of these populations are "not engaged in production". Everything about them revolves around the "family core", prospering and losing.
So the people who were supposed to be consuming and pretending to be in Chang'an City suddenly went to Luoyang. The old Chang'an market immediately collapsed by more than half, not 20% but went straight to 60%.
This is the case with Chang'an City, a population of hundreds of thousands. Most families who can spend money like flowing water.
But the life of Chang'an's suburbs has become better. In the past year, the nobles rode horses on horseback or went hunting, and the harvest in a year was over. If the nobles needed some slaves, these suburbs would mostly be targeted. They first collected the fields and then collected their children. They dare not say that they have been slaves for generations, and being extremely poor overnight is considered a good life.
Nowadays, most nobles are going to Luoyang. The two largest people stayed in Chang'an, one is unable to leave the forbidden garden, and the other is interested in farming. Therefore, the once "no man's land" around Chang'an immediately changed its appearance and suddenly became popular again. The "no man's land" now obviously went to Luoyang.
There are more fields, and even if you want to let young people in Chang'an City plant, they are still a few. The word "urban and rural" has represented "high and low" since ancient times. The familiar "urban and rural duality" that is well-known thousands and hundreds of years later has nothing to do with policies, but is more of the inertia since ancient times.
Even if you throw money into the sea of gold and silver, the word "urban and rural" is still the former "priced" and the latter "priced". Sometimes there are alternatives, and most of them are in the rich and noble towns of fish and rice, and few are hidden in the mountain villages.
So, although Chang'an City clearly needs labor to be reclaimed, it is impossible to get labor supplements. In addition to being a farmer at this moment, it is more embarrassing that "noble people" in the city will take over "lower careers".
Even though he had the example of the Eastern Palace, people at that time just watched the lively farming land of the crown prince. It was really his turn, and he wanted to change his identity as a "good family" in three generations to be a guard at the Eastern Palace. In the worst case, he could lead a horse to the horse.
Whether it is the desires of people or the value of society, in short, various factors gather together make Chang'an City unable to provide so many positions for Chang'an teenagers to temper them.
The biggest industry in Chang'an City is actually the "logistics industry". Whether it is "SF Express", "Kaishen Logistics" or "Xiqin Logistics", they are all gathered in Chang'an. In addition to being able to concentrate Silk Road goods on Chang'an and then ship to the capital Luoyang, most of the world's wealth exported to the Silk Road is concentrated here, and then the long "Silk Road" has been opened.
The largest camel fleet in the country is here to travel between Dunhuang for ten days. Even if the people do not use their brains, their eyes will still grow.
Guanzhong is full of blood. It is a slow talk about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It only talks about the alternation of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The rangers who killed people in the streets in Chang'an were also repeatedly banned.
There are countless people who are exiled from all over the world due to "private fights", and most of them are those who have made achievements on the frontier.
In view of this, the court also cared about the decency of the "old capital" and "old capital". After all, the Taihuang and the crown prince are still there. If Chang'an City is in turmoil, where is the face?
At the meeting, the "Cardinal" Aroben was awarded the title of Archbishop of "Loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, integrity and education", and the "Hongwen Pavilion" immediately took this opportunity to promote the benefits of "making achievements" and "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism", and also took Cheng Chubi as an example.
If you say that Chang'an's young and strong arrival in the Western Regions will be taught by General Cheng, and you will become a strong army in the future, and your achievements will be like taking things out of your pocket.
Then he said that the "barbarians in the river" are rampant and unreasonable, repeatedly invaded the territory and killed garrison soldiers, "all brothers in the world are brothers." People's hearts are full of flesh. How can one ignore and hear their own brothers by the "barbarians in the river"?
The Ministry of War called for "the robe was suffering and revenge in the river"; the Ministry of Rites stated that "the past was Geng Gong, and now a teenager"; the Ministry of Justice said, "If you don't go, you will commit a crime, and you will be sentenced to five years in prison"...
Of course, these are farts for the Chang'an boys, and nothing can beat the emperor's words, "I'm optimistic about you."
The emperor said, "The world in the Western Regions has great potential, and the passionate young man is to fight against the sky and the earth." When the young man in the "old capital" heard it, he felt like he was injected with chicken blood and felt that he had gone to the Western Regions to make achievements, and that he must be the emperor's destiny.
It just happened that there was an old monk from Fanbang who was traveling with him, who was also an old monk with pure magic power and profound knowledge of Taoism.
Originally, the young and strong men who used to open up wastelands and build dikes in all dynasties were thrown into the Western Regions River in the Zhenguan Dynasty. There was really some land, and the emperor was reluctant to bother with these people.
Since the Eight Ox Plows were used in the manor, the emperor has become increasingly reluctant to stuff more humanoid animals to the manor who eat imperial grain.
From the perspective of production efficiency alone, a farmhouse uses eight ox plows, which is worth thousands of knots, and the mud legs have to eat meat, drink wine and eat food, and the cows only need to eat grass when they are idle...
After a striking calculation, even the dog knows who to choose.
So Dong Li was willing to send people to the Western Regions, but he was reluctant to drive them to the countryside. The difference between the price-to-earnings ratio was too big.
After going to the Western Regions, it is still a "source of troops". Maybe one has been there for thirty or fifty years, and one has two, three, four, five, six, seven or eight descendants. In fifty years, it is still full of wealth and solidity?
While Lao Zhang sighed that "Cardinale" Aroben showed off a "buff", he had to admit that "the Emperor of Eternals" wanted to cultivate, it was really not something that ordinary people could play.
