After Liu Bu entered the Eastern Palace, his first thing was to order to recruit a large number of craftsmen to renovate the imperial city.

The Nanjing Imperial City has been built for more than 200 years and is already very dilapidated. Because as a sub-capital and as a symbol, it has great significance, but it cannot withstand the financial shortage of the Ming Dynasty and has always been insufficient food and silver. Therefore, the maintenance of this huge palace city is second only to the surface.

For example, the walls of his palace are very well made, and their yellow tiled roofs and tall buildings are still very good. From a distance, they are magnificent, very majestic and imposing. However, after entering, you will find that it is truly dilapidated, with many places covered with dust, and mice running in groups, spider webs and other things. Compared with the old houses that have not lived in for hundreds of years, it is a bright difference on the surface.

It was just the gold and jade, and the slimness of the fallen silk, Liu Bu also went to Xu Guogong's Mansion in a light car and took a walk around. He found that if we talk about this, Xu Guogong's Mansion was better than the imperial palace. If we only consider living conditions, Xu Guogong's Mansion was better than the imperial palace, at least we had nothing to lack, and we moved in with our luggage.

However, after all, this is an imperial palace and has an irreplaceable status. The imperial palace is the imperial palace. Its meaning and status are supreme. Even if the Duke of Xu is magnificent, it does not have such status and momentum.

If the Liu family lived in the Duke's Mansion after controlling Nanjing, it would give others a wrong signal.

In the past, they could never say that they wanted to be emperors, and that they wanted to destroy the nine clans. But now, they must tell everyone that we must be emperors, so that they will strengthen the hearts of all followers and more people will come to surrender. Therefore, they have no choice but to live in the palace.

Of course, the palace is very large, and its scope is larger than the Forbidden City in the capital. After renovation, it can still be lived in. Although the palace has many problems, at present, it is still their most noble place, and more importantly, its special significance.

The first palace was made by Zhu Yuanzhang who mobilized millions of craftsmen from several provinces to carry out corvee labor. The so-called corvee labor is also voluntary work. To put it bluntly, it is just a matter of food and no money.

But the Liu family's approach is different. Although they are the owners of this land, they did not exercise such rights and directly forced others to work. Instead, they spent money and hired craftsmen to work. Anyway, the money is not much. The amount of money the Liu family has obtained is not short of this money.

In the past, the imperial court was very short of money because they only knew how to dig food in the soil. Apart from that little land tax, there was no other income. What was even more deceptive was that even the tax on land was intercepted by these corrupt officials and corruption was not much in the hands of the imperial court.

The Liu family is a new force, and the inherent ruling class has not yet formed, and the corruption atmosphere of its top leaders has not been formed. More importantly, the Liu family started out as a businessman, and they attached more importance to this aspect.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty would be criticized by the ministers for doing business. This was a competition for profit with the people and was very cost-effective. However, there was no such problem at Liu Yuanqiao. He not only encouraged business, but also did it himself.

No matter how arrogant Liu Yuanqiao is, he cannot say that the businessman who does business is a lowly, because his ancestor is a businessman. If your ancestor is a lowly, you can give birth to you, a nobleman, and you can still fly to the sky.

So the Liu family is really not short of money, so there is no need to force these ordinary people to bear such heavy labor service. On the one hand, this is the case, and on the other hand, it is because they have just begun to rise and have not seized the world. Naturally, they have to compete for the people's hearts and make more people lean towards them.

One of their policies is to promise the people that their taxes may be lower and their servitude will be lower.

Liu Bu didn't want to save hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but another new civil unrest was caused. The Ming Dynasty was because there were too many lice on his body and he was not afraid of itchy. However, his Liu family was different. There were no lice on his body. Even a lice could make you unable to eat it.

When the Liu family posted a recruitment notice, many people didn't believe it at all. The Liu family recruited a large number of craftsmen to build the imperial city, which was a natural meaning. Many people thought it was inevitable. No matter who captured the place, they would definitely occupy the palace, and then repair it before they could move in. There was nothing wrong with this.

Many craftsmen and ordinary people were worried that in this case, Liu Jun would probably recruit corvee labor in large quantities, and these craftsmen would have to work hard and exhausted again.

Who knew that the Liu family army did not summon craftsmen and the people to work for him for free, but instead asked people to work for them. Every day, there were more than twenty copper coins, which was already the market price. At the same time, they were also in charge of food. This was a good job. Even when the world was peaceful, the craftsmen could not guarantee that there was such a job every day.

As soon as the notice was released on the same day, countless craftsmen and refugees came to watch.

Because the literacy rate in this era is very low, there are many people explaining each recruitment advertisement, reading aloud, and explaining what is written on the wall.

This time, their large-scale recruitment was targeted at these ordinary craftsmen and people. Most of them had their shoulder poles and didn't know that they were just a word. If you write a recruitment advertisement, I'm afraid these people are just wide open and don't know what the matter is. If you don't know, you might think it's a wanted order or a government announcement.

However, after the large number of scholars they arranged for in public to recite and interpret, these people believed it and knew it.

Moreover, they also imitated the way newspaper boys sell newspapers and promoted the streets and alleys, hoping to recruit more people. Liu Bu was not short of money at all. After conquering Jiangnan, he became even richer and even more bad. What he wanted was people and enough manpower to work for him.

Liu Bu still calculated the calculations. If he recruited so many people, arrested so many craftsmen and people to work for him, he would also have to mobilize a large number of officers and officers to maintain it, prevent others from being lazy, prevent others from escaping and cutting corners.

But if you use recruitment to provide these projects to some capable people, this is different. He can draw a large number of government personnel to do other things for him, which can save money in one aspect.

Once these recruitment advertisements were posted, I heard that there were twenty copper coins every day, and they also controlled food and accommodation. Many people were not calm and came to watch and inquire. A thin man asked the scholar: "How can such a good thing be so good? Is it a labor service for the government and pay for money?"

The scholar who was responsible for reading the manuscripts said confidently: "This is what Shuai Liu made a guarantee. Shuai Liu has money, and he just sent people to work for him. If no one gives you money after one day of work and no one gives you food, you can come and beat me up. If you cheat you, you can cheat you for a day. How many days can you cheat you?"

The scholar explained this, and these people had to believe it if they didn't believe it. They signed up one after another and said, "Count me for one! I count me for one."

Nanjing City is under reconstruction after the war. In the siege of the previous few days, a lot of people were lost, and a large number of people were unemployed. They were all stopped. Seeing that Liu Jun had occupied Jinling City, it has become a fact. Life still has to continue, people still have to eat, so they have to find a way to find a job.

Many people are worried about the chaos and chaos in Nanjing, where to find a job, and who dares to open the door to do business? I am afraid that some people will be hungry, but who knows that Liu Jun has just gone out and recruited a large number of people.

If Liu Jun went out to arrest people in large quantities, these ordinary people would probably believe it, but now they are actively spending money to hire people to work and also keep food and accommodation, which is far beyond their imagination.

There is still the reason why people in the world do things for the government and give money to take care of food?

However, someone explained immediately, and he said, "Everyone knows the Liu family army, do you know which Liu family is?"

A passerby asked: "Which Liu family? Isn't it the Liu family in Shandong?"

The man said, "Of course it is the Liu family in Shandong. Do you know what the person is from? They are descendants of Emperor Guangwu of Han, but they are the richest family in the colorful world in Linqing, Shandong. As the saying goes, the Liu family in Linqing is richest in the world. People have money. Why are so many people willing to follow them to rebel and conquer the world? This is because they have money."

When the passerby heard this, he said, but he said, "Isn't it better for the government to issue corvee labor? Didn't it save money?"

The man explained again: "What do you know? Who is Liu Dashui? Is it necessary to do this? In his eyes of Liu Dashui, if he wanted to launch such a large-scale corvee service, a large number of troops would have to be dispatched. A large number of personnel would be wasted. As long as the project was included in a few large households, and then they would recruit personnel on behalf of the official, wouldn't this person come? And what kind of person is Liu Dashui? It's not that much money at all. That year, the disaster in Shandong was said to starve to death, and the Liu family almost lost all their money, which allowed the people of the three eastern prefectures to spend the winter. They could spend money on disaster relief for free. What is it like to ask you to work and spend money now? Brother! I will tell you that the world is different now, and the emperor who lives in the world is different from the past."

This person was discussing: "What's the difference?"
