Railways are great. Whether it is transporting people, cargo, or troop transporting, they are faster than riding horses. The railway itself can transport war horses and even tanks can transport!

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen's way of traveling through time was a bit inexplicable. He still hasn't figured out why he traveled through time and how he traveled through time, so he didn't have time to get a good thing like arsenal and smart brain.

Apart from those incompletely nonsense versions of the Time Traveler Training Base, there is nothing left.

So, there is no tank, nor is there a blue fire in Dadada Gatlin, and there is not even a more fucking reliable historical knowledge.

However, no matter how novice Emperor Chongzhen was, he knew the role of railways. Didn’t the later Celestial Empire always talk about three horizontal and three vertical arteries?

There are not always two time periods every year, and can you see the soldiers coming and going on the train?

Occasionally, you can see good things like tanks with gun barrels, and occasionally you can see some big killing weapons...

If railways are not good things, why did they speed up and speed up in the future? It has been mentioned that the high-speed rail with a height of 300 kilometers per hour are still thinking about speeding up?

Although the Ming Dynasty did not have those tanks and killing weapons at present, the Ming Dynasty had cavalry and war horses, and these things and food could be transported through railways, which is very important!

Cavalry is the heavy tank of this era!

As for the fortune-teller, the Ming Dynasty is different from the later generations.

Although later generations also had household registration and temporary residence permits, you only need to take the ID card of the Huahua family. Apart from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, wouldn’t you go there casually any province and city in China except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan?

The Ming Dynasty is not good, even if you have a Ming Dynasty household registration, you still have to have a way to guide you.

Road induction is more cruel than things like temporary residence permits and passports. There is no way induction. No matter how awesome a person is, he cannot get out of the prefecture where he is located.

Of course, except for scholars, because they need to study and go out to show off, they naturally cannot be bound by the things that lead the way.

In addition to not requiring any road guide, scholars in the Ming Dynasty can even wear swords and try to change to ordinary people?

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen has no intention of abolishing the road induction system now, so it is naturally impossible for the grand scene of the Spring Festival travel rush to appear in later generations.

According to the current national conditions of the Ming Dynasty, the only people who can take the train are those merchants who are not short of money and can get the road guide. The rest are those in the civil and military systems, namely the government and the military, as well as those scholars with fame and fortune.

As time goes by, Emperor Chongzhen will definitely get better and better social studies again, and then more and more scholars will be, and naturally more and more people will be able to win the fame of scholars.

Even in the future, juren will become worthless.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with starting a pilot passenger transport business from these people?

Hong Chengchou obviously understood this, so he bowed and said, "I will discuss this matter with my colleagues, and then report it to Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and continued, "In addition, Hong Aiqing thinks how to recruit some people from the Ming Dynasty to build railways?"

Damn! The emperor is crazy!

Hong Chengchou's first reaction was that Emperor Chongzhen began to go crazy again.

There are so many barbarians who are building railways now. You are not satisfied and are planning to recruit people to build railways?

How many barbarians died on this railway? Your Majesty, you really don’t know much about it? Did the empress dowager exhaust all the 400,000 Tatar barbarians in one month, so that you can understand?

Or do you want to learn from His Majesty Yang Er? Are you not afraid that you will be there when the railway is built to Yangzhou?

It can be foreseen that if Emperor Chongzhen really planned to spend his life on building a canal to His Majesty Yang Er, even if he had a good reputation among the people, he would not be able to withstand such consumption!

Then we will wait for chaos in the world, and the thirty-six ways of rebelling against the king will rise!

Especially before the twelve years of Chongzhen, when did there be no war? In which year did there be no natural disasters? You still don’t know what the situation of your country is?

After considering it, Hong Chengchou bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the natural disasters in the Great Ming Dynasty have just decreased a little, and the people are also recuperating. I'm afraid that it's not suitable to recruit the people at this time?"

Emperor Chongzhen said curiously: "Why is it not suitable? I did not intend to recruit the people for nothing, but let the people voluntarily so that they could build railways during the slack farming period.

At that time, the government will pay wages according to the market price, and the people will make money, and the speed of railway construction can also be improved. What's wrong with killing two birds with one stone?"

Hong Chengchou was relieved.

If you just let the people voluntarily participate in railway construction projects and pay wages during the slack season, there is no problem.

I was afraid that Emperor Chongzhen thought the railway was too slow, and he would have to recruit a large number of civilians to perform labor service with a slap in his head. It would be strange if he would not cause chaos in the world at that time!

Emperor Chongzhen continued to ask: "Didn't there have been several sections of railways before that? Isn't it used now? According to common sense, if people build together, the speed should be much faster?"

Hong Chengchou said: "Your Majesty, this method is also used now, but the progress is not satisfactory."

Emperor Chongzhen was very curious that the people of the Ming Dynasty were the people of the Celestial Empire in later generations, and it was absolutely fine to endure hardships. How could the speed of infrastructure maniacs working on construction sites be dissatisfied?

Hong Chengchou smiled bitterly and said, "The local governments used the name of letting the people perform labor service and sent the people to the construction site to spend money while living a life, but those Japanese slave supervisors did not dare to take care of them.

If it were the barbarians, the whip in the hands of these Japanese slaves would have been whipped long ago. However, facing these Ming people who were in labor service, the Japanese slaves did not even dare to ask questions, and the progress would naturally slow down."

Emperor Chongzhen was a little confused: "Does these people live a mess and let them live like this on the construction site?"

Hong Chengchou said: "There is only this now. After all, it is corvee labor, and the wages are very small, which is better than nothing. In addition, there are local governments who protect the people. Just live a life of scattered life, and the main people are the barbarians."

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said, "This is not right. No wonder these barbarians die so quickly, and they are always not enough. It turns out that the root cause is here."

After pondering for a while, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "What I mean was to let the people of the Ming Dynasty rely on those undangerous construction sites to make money, and let the barbarians fill in the dangerous areas with their lives, but they didn't want to make it like this."

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he immediately became sweating profusely not only the Ministry of Railways, but also other government offices like the Ministry of Works and other yamen, all of whom were using barbarians as consumables!

If this is really investigated, my Ministry of Railways will make a bad start, and then he will lead the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Transport and Shaofu to go astray!

Before Hong Chengchou could apologize, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I have planned to abolish corvee service for a long time, and it seems that it will be implemented as soon as possible."

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply ordered: "It is said that Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou come to see me."

After Wang Chengen received the order and ordered the eunuch to spread Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "After the abolition of corvee service, the railways can be recruited again through local governments to work, and the wages can be calculated based on the progress and the amount of work they work, which is nothing more than sending a few minor officials."

Hong Chengchou bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

The people who had been in labor service before were busy on the construction site, one for wages, and the other for the purpose of mudging the labor service life. Naturally, it was impossible to work hard, so the progress naturally would not be fast.

However, if the method mentioned by Emperor Chongzhen was used to recruit people to work, it would probably speed up the progress of railway construction!

If the corvee service is abolished or not, it is not something that I, the Minister of Railways, can naturally have the headache of Master Wen and Mr. Guo accompany His Majesty.

Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou, who were rushing to come, learned that Emperor Chongzhen was going to abolish corvee, their first reaction was that the emperor was doing something, or that the emperor had made a decision again!

Is it a good thing to abolish corvee service? It must be!

"Han Feizi·Bie Nei": If there is less labor service, the people will be safe. If the people are safe, the subordinates will have no heavy power. If the subordinates do not have heavy power, the power will be destroyed. If the power is destroyed, the virtue will be superior.

Anyone knows that light taxes and low taxes can bring peace to the people!

The corvee service in the Ming Dynasty was divided into three types: one was the Lijia service, which was the one-li Li business, and the second was the equal labor service, which was the regular service of the government, and the third was the mixed service, which was all the temporary service dispatched.

And these are all free! The government will not give a penny of wages!

In particular, the collection of corvee labor can be carried out in a mandatory manner. Once it involves urgently building river embankments, is it convenient to hire temporary workers or directly recruit people to work for compulsory?

But that's not the case for Emperor Chongzhen.

The corvee service has been changed a lot since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, including paying wages, or even paying according to the wages on the market.

However, the people's thinking has not changed for a while. Even if they can get wages, they still think that these tasks are done by themselves, and they can be lazy if they can be lazy.

The officials of the entire Ming Dynasty knew this very well.

But just in line with that sentence, if you deceive your superiors and do not hide your subordinates, anyway, if the people get benefits, their official voice will be better. If the official voice is better, there will be extra points for the Beijing inspection and assessment, and the chance of promotion will be great. Why bother to make yourself feel uncomfortable in such a small matter?

Moreover, the perspectives of the station are different and the way of looking at problems is different.

For Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou, Emperor Chongzhen now decided to abolish corvee labor with a slap in his head. What should we do if there are problems such as river embankments, slept and tombs in the future?

Could it be that the tomb of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty was not built by the Shaofu for corvee service, but by employing laborers to build it?

It hurts even if you think about it!

Emperor Chongzhen scoffed at these reasons: "The people are spoiled now. When they are actually using labor service, most of them are asking the workers to work. The people just make a few symbolic tricks and finish it. Who are they fooling about it?

Yes, my Ming Dynasty is not short of money now. Whether it is the national treasury or the treasury, there is a lot of money in it. It has to be taken care of frequently to avoid rusting, but it is not a waste like this!

After the abolition of corvee labor, the people will pay according to their work. They will naturally take more of their work and take less of their work. They will take less of their work. It is very fair!"

Wen Tiren bowed and said, "I think your Majesty is right, but it is too one-sided.

Whether it is a railway construction or other light labor service, it is natural for Your Majesty to abolish it, but for a kind of labor service like the tombs and river embankments, your Majesty also wants to abolish it?"

Emperor Chongzhen, who was thinking about how to increase the enthusiasm of the people to work, also hesitated that the two cemeteries and river embankments were dangerous. If all these corvee labor was abolished, it would be hard to say whether the people would be willing to do these two jobs!

Especially for some other work that may involve dangerous tasks, it is very likely that no people will do it, and they can only rely on those barbarians!

It was okay when I was alive, and even my son's era should be fine, but what if the Ming Dynasty really unified this blue star?

What should I do when one day there is no barbarian? Who will rely on to work?

After hesitating for a while, Emperor Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said, "Correspondents such as river embankments will be handed over to the local garrison!

As for my tomb, I will talk about it later, either the Shaofu will pay to hire the people or the Shaofu will recruit garrisons.

In short, all corvee service will be abolished and the people will be recuperated!"

Is the Three Gorges Project in later generations dangerous? Is it still not forced the people to work! Why is the Ming Dynasty not working?

Don’t mention excavators and advanced technical means. The Ming Dynasty is not as big as the Three Gorges!

As for other things, such as the Yellow River embankment and disaster relief, they should have been the responsibility of the garrison. Why should the people do it?

And his own burial, which is a problem that the Shaofu should study, not that the people should work for free and free!

Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou looked at each other and had to bow and say, "Your Majesty is kind!"

I won’t persuade you! Whatever you want!

An emperor like Chongzhen could not persuade him. He would make a decision even if he slapped his head and could not persuade him!

Besides, the abolition of corvee service can be regarded as the first benevolent policy in the ages, and it is even more benevolent than the previous never-added taxes!

What's going on with never adding fu? Standing at Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou's position, you can see clearly and clearly, and you also know the twists and turns.

But the abolition of corvee labor is completely different. This means that in addition to farming themselves, the people have no remaining free labor except for the people who have to handle the storied things in their own homes!

According to Emperor Chongzhen's character, if you want to hire the people to pay wages, then you will definitely pay wages. If you can't do it well, you will definitely pay less. At that time, the enthusiasm of the people to work can indeed increase.

Let’s not talk about other aspects for now. Just because the acceleration of the railway construction project progress is not known how much benefits it can bring to the Ming Dynasty!
