Chapter 305 What the future of the Ming Dynasty looks like!Happy life for Peking people!
With the delay of time, it is now autumn.
The weather gradually cooled down.
The rice in the rice fields is ripe and golden, and the farmers are busy in the fields, harvesting grain.
After the harvest of grain is finished and the land becomes free, it is the best time for Li Xiao to harvest the land.
The current priority is to let the people of the world understand that they can also enjoy another kind of beautiful life.
Zhu Yunqi has also rushed from Beiping to Nanjing, and brought his new documentary "The Daily Happy Life of Peking People".
At night, in the barracks, Zhu Yunqi turned on the projection, and the movie was playing.
And below sat Li Jinglong, Jian Yi, Yu Shi, Zhao Jingkun and other important officials of the Nanjing court.
"My God, is this a Peking movie?"
"It's amazing. Seeing is believing!"
"How did this picture appear?"
The officials were amazed, completely attracted by the movie screen in front of them, like a miracle.
Now that the lands of these officials have been confiscated and their welfare benefits have been increased, they have no complaints against Li Xiao, on the contrary they faintly began to obey Li Xiao's orders.
At this moment, their eyes were attracted by the pictures in the movie.
In the screen, the people of Peiping shown are very comfortable, a very happy gesture.
The farmland is divided into [-] acres, and farmers work on it, planting crops, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
Then there is the shot of the city, bustling and bustling, blooming like brocade.
In the city, the common people are wandering around in a very comfortable state, the supermarkets are full of goods, and the sound of hawking can often be heard in the vegetable market.
"Fresh apples are big and sweet, and they only cost ten cents a catty."
"Giwei shrimp, Jiwei shrimp, fresh Jiwei shrimp."
"Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, delicious yellow and fat, cost a penny a catty."
Then came the interview.
A village, a field.
In the picture, a middle-aged man speaks to the camera.
"My name is Zhang Tieniu. I used to be a tenant. Since Li Qingtian came, life for us common people has been easier. I used to be so poor that I couldn't even marry a wife. Now look, this is my big house. This is my mother-in-law"
"Now, we ordinary people don't have any land in our hands, but we only need to pay the rent to get [-] acres of land. In fact, it's still our own land."
"The grain planted above is our own, and we don't have to pay taxes. I have planted the land all my life, but I haven't earned any money. Most of the harvest has been handed over to the landlord. But after the National Teacher promulgated this regulation, I After planting wheat for a few years, I built a new house and got a wife. After the reform, people can go to work in factories, but I only know how to farm, and I’m not bad at farming.”
In the movie screen, the host asked: "Tie Niu, are you happy?"
Zhang Tieniu said: "My surname is not Fu, but my surname is Zhang."
host:"."
The next screen is a quick playback of Zhang Tieniu's day.
After a busy day, he went back to the house and had dinner.
The dinner was very sumptuous. Zhang Tieniu ate three bowls of fried chicken with potatoes, fried pork with chili peppers, and delicious rice.
It was dark, and my wife went to the hot kang, with a sense of happiness on her face.
Zhang Tieniu: "Hey, hey, this can't be filmed."
The screen turns.
A textile factory in Beiping.
The factory has a huge space, and thousands of female workers are busy inside. What is placed in front of them is a new type of textile machine, which is horizontal and vertical.
Every textile worker operates a machine, and the cloth is continuously produced very quickly.
The host randomly found a female worker with better looks and asked, "What's your name, please?"
The female worker looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, and she replied shyly, "The little girl's name is Song Hongtao."
Host: "Hi Song Hongtao, may I ask you to work here, are you happy?"
Song Hongtao: "Happy, very happy."
Host: "Then can you tell me why you are happy?"
Song Hongtao: "I don't know how to say it."
Host: "It seems that the heart is more reserved, so next, let me ask the question and you answer it, how about it?"
Song Hongtao nodded.
Host: "Is it hard to work here?"
Song Hongtao: "It's not hard. The sisters start work at [-] o'clock in the morning and can rest at [-] o'clock at noon. The lunch is provided by the factory. It does not cost money. It is very rich. There are two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish and one soup. There is meat for every meal. In the past few years, the sisters have grown flesh. Then after a two-hour break at noon, they start work at two o'clock in the afternoon, and they can leave work when they work until five o'clock."
Host: "Then you work here, how much money can you make a month?"
Song Hongtao: "We make a lot of money. Our factory is very profitable. We earn five taels of silver a month. There are also various benefits during the festivals. Moon cakes are given out on Mid-Autumn Festival, and white sugar and brown sugar are given out on Labor Day. Movie tickets, cake tickets and other benefits. At the end of the year, twenty catties of herring, five big fat chickens, red dates, and ginseng slices will be distributed to us for the New Year."
Host: "Oh, so the salary is so good, but you work here, what about your husband, who will cook for him?"
Song Hongtao: "It doesn't matter. My husband also works in the grinding tool factory next door. Breakfast and lunch are provided for free every day. In the evening, I will go to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables and cook at home. I will cook at night. Now the vegetable market Meat is also very cheap, and eggs and chicken are not expensive.”
Host: "Your husband's problem is solved, do you have children? If you have children, both of you and your wife are not at home, who will take care of the children?"
Song Hongtao: "It's okay. Now there is a kindergarten in Beiping. We send the children to school in the morning, and pick them up after work. Someone takes the child, and they can still learn knowledge in the kindergarten. After that, there are elementary schools and middle schools. College. It doesn’t cost much, and we plan to have a few more kids.”
Host: "Then the fee is very expensive, right?"
Song Hongtao: "It's not expensive. There are subsidies from the imperial court. You only need to pay one tael of silver per month. We, husband and wife, can have an income of ten taels of silver per month. After deducting the children's expenses, we can have the rest every month." Seven or eight taels of silver, now we are all buying houses in the city."
Host: "Song Hongtao, it seems that you are very satisfied with your current life, right?"
Song Hongtao: "Yes, I am very satisfied. I used to be a slave girl. I was sold to a rich family as a maidservant when I was ten years old. I have no freedom and no life of my own. But since Mr. Li Qingtian came to Beiping, the world has changed. , we slaves have all become free people. At first I was worried that my life would not be secure, but soon, people from Shequ came to our door and arranged jobs for us. The days now are really like a dream. From slaves to now, life is happy , have our own family and house, I heard that we work here, and we will still be able to receive pensions when we get old, I am very grateful to Master Li Qingtian."
Host: "It seems that what you said doesn't sound like a lie. You are indeed very happy. Do you know that the Master Qingtian you speak of has now become the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty?"
Song Hongtao: "What is the Great Master of the Ming Dynasty? I don't know, I only know that Master Li Qingtian is our Qingtian, and our people are very grateful to him. Without him, there would be no good and happy life now."
Host: "Okay, then I wish you happiness forever. After you get off work, is it convenient to continue filming and record your life? Our film will be open to the whole country, so that people all over the country can see your happy life. , so that people all over the country can be like you, the National Master is working hard."
Song Hongtao: "Of course, it would be great if all the people in the world could be like Beiping. Master Li Qingtian is really a good man."
The screen entered the fast playback stage.
In the picture, Song Hongtao and other female workers can rest in the lounge after eating a rich lunch.
After starting work, I worked for another three hours before leaving get off work.
After get off work, Song Hongtao met her husband Wang Dacheng. The two held hands and were very intimate, and went to a kindergarten to pick up their children.
After picking up the children, they took the children to the vegetable market.
The vegetable market is very spectacular, there are various vendors selling goods inside, all kinds of vegetables, tomatoes, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, green peppers, leeks, corn.
There are also all kinds of meat, chicken, duck, fish, meat, eggs.
The happy family of three bought potatoes, a fat chicken, spare ribs, and vegetables.
Afterwards, they returned to their home. In a community, there were many houses horizontally and vertically. Their home was a small yard with a small area of only a hundred square meters, but it was very warm when entering the home.
His wife, Song Hongtao, cooks vegetables in the small kitchen in the yard. After cooking, the family of three sits in the yard and eats.
"Host, come and have some food, too."
"Okay, thank you very much."
A warm family, the picture ends.
The screen turns.
This time I came to another place, located in the prosperous place of Beiping City.
In the picture, it can be described as a sea of people, and there are people walking on the streets, shopping, or chatting.
The shops on both sides of the street are booming with flowers blooming.
The screen stopped at a stinky tofu shop.
A couplet was pasted on the door of the shop.
Shanglian: It is also fragrant and stinky.
The second line: For the taste, for the umami, to Qianjia.
Henglian: smelly and fragrant.
The business of this stinky tofu shop is very good, and the long line in front of the door is getting long.
The host came to the shop and asked, "Shopkeeper, are you free? Let's do an interview."
The shopkeeper of stinky tofu, Zhao He, put down his work: "Yes, yes, you are Lord Li Qingtian's people."
Host: "Hahaha, everyone belongs to Lord Li Qingtian."
Zhao He asked the staff to do the work, followed the host to the open space beside him, and said, "Yes, yes, we in Beiping are all from Mr. Li Qingtian, you go ahead."
Host: "What's your name, please?"
Zhao He said: "The villain's name is Zhao He."
Host: "Hi Zhao He, are you happy?"
Zhao He, the shopkeeper of stinky tofu, said: "Happy, very happy!"
Host: "May I ask why you are happy?"
Zhao He: "If you have money, you will be happy."
Host: "It seems that brother Zhao is a bit rich and powerful, how much money did he make?"
Zhao He: "Thank you for the blessing of the national teacher, look at this couplet written by the national teacher himself. I can earn 300 taels of silver a year. It's a bit tiring, but it's hard work. Back then, the business of my small shop was very good. Poor, after taking a bite by chance, the national teacher helped me write the couplet, and the business got better. But I do business honestly, never raise the price, and I am always a repeat customer."
Host: "So much, earning 300 taels of silver a year, you can be counted as a rich man."
Zhao He: "A rich man can't be called a rich man. If you are a little rich, you will be safe, and if you are a little rich, you will be safe, haha. In recent years, I have bought a house, and my wife has married. The wife took care of the children at home and gave birth to six children. The house is very lively Le."
Moderator: "These are the changes brought about by the reform of the National Teachers, aren't they?"
Zhao He: "Yes, I have gone through this stage, and the changes are very obvious. Before the national teacher came, I was just a burden seller, and I couldn't earn a few copper coins a year. I was full and hungry. After the national teacher came, everyone suddenly became rich overnight, so I took out a loan and opened this small shop. The business is not doing well. Everyone has become rich, and they are willing to spend money to enjoy it. This stinky tofu delicacy is a kind of enjoyment. In Beiping, as long as you are willing to endure hardship, there is gold everywhere. Many villagers in our village do small business and get rich. The days are one day Better than a day."
Host: "Okay, it seems that you are very satisfied with your current life, right?"
Zhao He: "Very satisfied, thanks to the Imperial Teacher, thank you for the good life that the court has brought to our common people, this kind of good life was unimaginable before, but now it is really a peaceful and prosperous world. The National Teacher is too powerful. After a few years Time has brought about such a big change. Here, I wish the national teacher blessings like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, you are the great benefactor of our people."
Host: "Okay, I will help you convey your best wishes to the National Teacher."
Zhao He: "Thank you so much, come here, take this money, and use it to buy something delicious. Be sure to broadcast my stinky tofu shop, so that my business will be better."
Host: "No way, we must not take money from the common people, you take it back, otherwise we won't broadcast it."
Zhao He: "Then I don't have anything good here, so you guys go eat some stinky tofu, Zhang San and Zhao Wu, go and fry 100 yuan stinky tofu for these grown-ups. Ah no, 300 yuan stinky tofu."
host:"."
The screen turns.
The camera randomly focuses on a passerby.
Host: "Are you happy?"
Passerby: "Who are you?"
Host: "We are from a TV station. Looking at the camera, we will broadcast it for people all over the country to watch."
Passer-by: "Happy, very happy. There is Li Qingtian in Beiping, and everyone is happy. Look at this Beiping, how good it is now. I work as a clerk in a cloth shop. I earn three taels of silver a month. If the business is good, I can earn five taels of silver." , I like to eat. I try all the delicacies in Beiping after work. There are so many delicious things in Beiping now. They can be eaten from all over the world, flying in the sky, swimming in the sea, but my favorite is dumplings. It’s not as delicious as dumplings, it’s not as fun as it is. Hehe”
Host: "So for you, having food is happiness, right?"
Passer-by: "Yes, all the delicacies in the world are in Beiping. Welcome to Beiping. I'll sing a song for you to listen to. The gate of Beiping is always open. You are welcome. There are so many things here, delicious and fun."
Host: "Okay, goodbye."
The whole documentary is composed of interviews one by one.
The characters appearing one by one in the camera include hawkers, workers, farmers, and merchants.
Without exception, they all had happy smiles on their faces.
The entire movie played, which lasted two hours.
The movie is over.
The entire barracks was boiling.
These officials were shocked, they finally knew what Li Xiao, the Great Master of the Ming Dynasty, was going to do.
He wants to turn the world into something like this.
In the movie, it is another world!
The country is prosperous and the people are safe, and the people live in peace and contentment, rich and happy.
"My God, it turns out that what the national teacher did is such a great thing!!!"
Yu Shi exclaimed loudly, his heart was full of excitement.
Immediately afterwards, the whole venue erupted.
