Chapter 312 The capital seems to have returned to a prosperous state!
Taking the official ship, Chen Rongsheng and his party set off from Lushun to Dengzhou for training. Different from the panic of the previous days, they felt relieved at this time and set off for Dengzhou with peace of mind.
The imperial edict did not involve Chen Rongsheng and others, but what does it matter? The fact that the people he and others protected were rewarded means that the imperial court is aware of their merits. The reason why they are not rewarded now must be because they are remembered.
They were disobedient and disrespectful before. After the training is completed, the court will at least allow people to continue serving as soldiers and receive food and salary. They have already inquired about it. The salary in the navy is not low. If you can serve in the navy, you can accept it as an officer or not.
The resettlement measures for the family members have also been announced. They will go to the horse farm in Tianjin to farm. Each family has 20 acres of land, which is good land for growing rice. With 20 acres of land in hand, they will definitely have no worries about food and drink. In addition,
With their own salary, they are definitely living a good life. If they had known that they would have such good treatment, they would still be such idiots.
One day later, the ship arrived at Dengzhou Port. It was time for Chen Rongsheng and his family to separate from their families.
"Sanwa, are you sure you still want to go to the army to beg for food? Go to the capital with your sister and Tao'er. The court has sealed a palace for us and given us a salary for half a year. We will not have to worry about food and drink when we get there. You continue to be a soldier.
My sister is worried when the war is fierce." Mrs. Huang and Chen had been persuading Chen Rongsheng to accompany her and her mother to Beijing along the way so that he would no longer serve as a soldier. After arriving at Dengzhou Port, she was still making the last effort.
"Sister, you and Tao'er go and enjoy themselves. Uncles at home, the revenge of my parents has not been avenged. I am still in my prime and should avenge my clan. I will serve in the army first to save some foundation for Tao'er in the army, and wait for Tao'er
When he becomes an adult, he will also join the army. He has to personally avenge the old soldier. If Dongjiang and the Manchus don't get back what they owe us, how can we have the face to see the old soldier and my parents?" Chen Rongsheng flatly rejected his cousin.
There was a time when he felt that revenge was hopeless and he could only survive with his brothers. Now that he saw the hope of revenge, he naturally didn't want to miss it.
After Chen Rongsheng and others disembarked from the ship at Dengzhou Port, Huang and Chen family turned north and arrived in Tianjin in less than two days. Everyone was separated again in Tianjin, and most of the family members were taken away by resettlement officials.
At the racecourse, Mrs. Huang Chen, her son and a few temporary domestic servants were escorted by Jin Yiwei and continued to the capital.
Along the way, Huang Baitao was nervous and held his mother's hand tightly. He was frightened by the sight he had never seen before! He has been growing up on Sanshan Island since he can remember, and others can still go to sea.
Robbery, because of his special status, he has never left the island. He has lived on a closed desert island since he was a child, and the scene in front of him now has a great impact on him.
After arriving in Tongzhou, everyone disembarked and transferred to the rail car to enter the capital. Sitting in the carriage of the rail car, looking at the scenery in front of them through the window and quickly retreating, Huang Baitao finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Mother
, What are we going to the capital for? Tao'er is a little scared, can we go back to the island? The ducks I raised on the island can already lay eggs. If we don't go back, they will have no one to feed them and they will starve to death."
Seeing her son's nervousness, Mrs. Huang Chen quickly took him into her arms and persuaded him: "Tao'er, we are going to the capital to enjoy the blessings. There are big houses in the capital, and we no longer have to go back to the island to live a hard life.
"
"Mom, why can we go to the capital to enjoy the blessings? Don't we have food and drink on the island? Why don't uncle and the others accompany us to the capital to enjoy the blessings?"
"Silly boy, the capital is the most prosperous place in the world, how can it be compared to the island? We can go to the capital to enjoy the blessings because your father killed the enemy for the country and earned us this dragon's favor. Uncle and the others did not come.
, because they still want to serve in the army to kill the Tatars and avenge your father, your grandfather and the others."
"Revenge? Why did those bad guys kill my father and grandpa? Tao'er wants to go back and take revenge with his uncle."
Gu Hao/s "Tao'er, you stay in Beijing for a few years. After passing the incense to our Huang family, you go kill the enemy and avenge your father and your clan."
The mother and son chatted all the way in the carriage. It was not until the rail car arrived at the station that they came out of the carriage in tears and transferred to an ordinary carriage to Beijing.
On the carriage, Huang Baitao looked at the bustling city of Beijing through the window. For the first time in his life, he had an impression of prosperity. It turns out that prosperity means a lot of people? His mother said that Beijing is the most prosperous place in the world.
I think this place should be the most crowded place in the world.
The capital should indeed be the most populous city in this era. Especially this year, the population of the capital has grown very rapidly. Due to the impact of the war, rich people from other places are flocking to the capital at this time. Some people feel that the refugee resettlement treatment is not good.
, refugees who want to make a living in the capital have also flocked to the capital. If you come to the capital at this time, you will not realize that the world is currently in a great war. The atmosphere you feel in the capital is completely that of a prosperous age.
scene.
As the saying goes, three years means a small improvement. More than three years have passed since the summer of the 15th year of Chongzhen's reign. If we only look at the state of Beijing, Zhu Youjian feels that the results are quite significant. At least the city of Beijing has recovered.
Vitality is no longer a doomsday scene.
I don’t know if the rich in the capital have returned to their previous living standards, but at least the living standards of ordinary people in the capital have improved qualitatively compared to three years ago.
There are more ways to survive, there are abundant products on the market, and trading activities are active. In particular, the number of working-class people has more than doubled, and various economic indicators have improved significantly compared with before. In terms of indicators, the current
The data is likely to be better than that of the mid-Wanli period.
Such good results are not only due to the relative correctness of its own policies, but also to the current chaos in the world. There is a saying that it all depends on the old watch. Due to the chaos in the world, the market needs to find a safe haven and a stable one.
Product supply bases, and Beizhili and Beijing just provide such a scenario to the market.
In a sense, the recovery of the capital was accomplished by sucking blood from all over the world, but this blood-sucking process was not obvious and was obtained through the labor of the people. Moreover, the blood sucked was not limited to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Wherever products from Beizhili are needed, blood can be sucked.
The manufacturing industry is competitive, and its ability to gather wealth is quite terrifying. As long as the manufacturing industry can remain strong, the money flowing into the capital will no longer flow out, creating a depression effect, and the money will only become more and more. In future generations,
Why will the fiscal situation of some provinces with underdeveloped manufacturing industries not improve no matter how much national transfer payments are made? It is because all the money flowing to these provinces eventually flows back to provinces with developed manufacturing industries, and after other people’s money flows out,
I will come back and the money will only increase.
