After the Great Revolution, Su Yonglin destroyed the superiors in the city.

The top people were destroyed, and the main consumer groups in the city disappeared.

After these people were eliminated, a large number of citizens who were centered around them had no livelihoods, no source of income, and could not live in the city.

So they had to leave the city with their families and try to return to the countryside to settle down and live a life of men farming and women weaving again.

This has led to a large-scale wave of urban residents returning home.

It was also just because of this great revolution that a large amount of rural land was re-controlled by the court, and it was when the court needed the agricultural population to fill the vacancies and expand the agricultural production area.

Therefore, this wave of "reversing history" behavior has a successful transition without any danger.

A large number of "citizens" returned to the countryside from the city to settle down, walked back to the fields, obtained rural household registration, land and houses, obtained agricultural tools and agricultural preferential policies, began to cultivate fields, and started grain production again.

A wave of "anti-urbanization" is happening in the territory of the Ming Empire now.

As the central area of ​​the Great Revolution, as the cleanest area for the superiors to be cleaned up, and also the area where the anti-urbanization occurred the most violently. It was naturally impossible for a large number of "citizens" who returned to the countryside to settle down.

Their appearance made the settlement quota of various villages a little nervous.

Urban resident families who returned to their hometowns to work for farming were eager to obtain household registration and land, which greatly tested the grassroots government of the empire.

At this time, the rural farmer's association organization set up by Su Yonglin played an incomparable role. The county and state officials were all very grateful for the current situation of the grassroots organizations in the imperial area below the county.

Village farmers' associations, township farmers' associations and county governments often gather together to negotiate solutions. This village claims a few companies and that village claims a few companies. Anyway, this wave of population return will be solved within three months.

This wave of return has brought about a shortage of rural settlements, but also a large-scale reduction in urban population.

Against the backdrop of the entire Great Revolution, the original landlord and gentry class in the city was washed away on a large scale, and their entire family was physically eliminated by the court. Coupled with the loss of citizens, some cities were so empty that nine out of ten rooms were empty, almost becoming an empty city without a man.

The men sent it, the citizens ran away with their buckets, and the remaining large amount of empty houses were left in the county town, becoming ownerless houses.

In addition to the houses of the original citizens, a large number of houses of the men were confiscated by the court and became state-owned property.

The imperial court only had a large amount of real estate registered, but could not be converted into wealth and re-entered the circulation field. This is a pity.

But in this era, if the man is killed, there is indeed no buyer who can take over the house in the city.

In addition to the locations of government capitals at all levels and some traditional commercial cities, the entire Ming Dynasty cities were experiencing a wave of loss of citizens. If there were housing markets these days, the housing market in the Ming Dynasty would have completely collapsed and the entire society began to be violently turbulent.

Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty also had a huge economic foundation, a countryside, which successfully achieved a soft economic landing and no major chaos occurred.

Now, in most cities in the Ming Dynasty, except for officials, officials and some people hired by the government to do odd jobs, there are only some small vendors who specialize in their business. Almost no one left, and all of them have returned to the countryside, so the city is a bit "desolate".

Against this background, Fang Zhiqiang's persuasion to Xiao Cui was taken for granted. Of course, he didn't think there was anything good about living in the city. He couldn't see a few living people, and there was no one to talk to when living together. It was not lively at all. What's good about it?

But when Xiao Cui heard this, she was moved.

She really thinks the city is pretty good. If she can, she is willing to move to the city, buy a small house, and bring her mother and younger brother to the city to live.

Because there is such a person in her factory.

There are some male and female workers who are in the factory where she is in a relationship with each other. Such cases are not uncommon in the factory in recent years.

Xiao Cui knew a married couple of male and female workers.

Because most workshops are closer to the city, couples also need private space after getting married, so it is not appropriate to continue living in the collective dormitory of the workshop.

So when the parents of the two families decided to buy a property in the county town as their new house.

Because the county town has a sparse population and a large number of people returning to rural areas to live, many properties have been vacant, but the buyers are relatively rare.

Therefore, some very good properties only require relatively low prices, and can even be called a sale. It is not difficult for them to buy a property.

The young couple took out their saved wages, and the two families took out some money from their agricultural production income, and added up to make up the house payment. After getting married, the young couple left the factory dormitory and lived in the new house in the county town.

When they got married, they invited colleagues from the factory to have a wedding banquet. Xiao Cui also went there and saw the new house in the city. Then they witnessed their happy life when they went to work together every day after marriage.

Such young couples are not one-on-two pairs in the factory.

Almost all married male and female workers' families choose to purchase real estate in the county town and then move to the county town. From then on, the county town factory has lived a stable life.

Their lifestyle is completely different from their ancestors. They do not live in the fields and rely on farming land to dig food from the fields. They like to work in the factory, so their choice is to live in the county town based on the salary income of the factory.

They became new citizens.

So in Xiao Cui's opinion, although there are fewer people in the county and are relatively "desolate", it is precisely because of this that the house is relatively cheap.

In the past, small houses where civilians live were cheaper. As long as she worked hard and saved money from her salary paid by the factory, she could save money to buy real estate in a few years.

Xiao Cui clenched her fists and made up her mind.

She had to rely on her own efforts to save money to buy a house, and then took her mother and brother to live in the county town to get rid of the hateful drunk father.

As for your future life, it is better to support them with the salary from the workshop, or ask the instructor to find a job for my mother to cook.

When my younger brother grows up, he can also go to the factory to work. At that time, the family of three will work in the factory and receive three wages, which is definitely enough for life.

Xiao Cui happily planned the happy lifestyle of the family of three in the future, then gritted her teeth and began to work hard to save money.

She didn't just talk, she really made plans and started working hard.

The original salary form in the textile factory was timely wages, that is, wages were calculated based on attendance time, paid to workers on a daily basis, and paid daily basis to gain people's support.

After running for a while, because it was too cumbersome and demanded too much for manpower, it was changed to pay wages every ten days, and then it became twenty days, and finally the rule of paying wages once a month was formed, and it never changed.

By the first year of Hongwu, due to dissatisfaction with the production efficiency of a large number of public workshops and the huge demand gap in the military and some markets, Su Yonglin took the lead in formulating a workers' wage reform bill, changing the timed wage system to a semi-piece wage system.

That is, workers' wages are divided into two halves, half of which is the original time-based wages, which are collected according to attendance time, and half are piece-based wages, which are collected according to production efficiency, which requires more work and more income.

Su Yonglin hopes to increase workers' production enthusiasm, improve work efficiency, and reduce working hours while ensuring the most basic distribution fairness and not causing too much income gap between workers.

Sure enough, after changing to the half-piece wage system, the work efficiency of workshop workers has been greatly improved. The worker productivity in Hongwu in three years, with the full popularization of the half-piece wage system, was much higher than any previous year.

The National Textile Factory in Laiwu County, where Xiao Cui is located, was one of the first workshops to implement a half-piece wage system.

In this case, Xiao Cui is prepared to give full play to her subjective initiative and get a higher salary.
