    "Your Majesty, there are more and more factories, workshops, etc. in our capital, and the number of workers is also increasing. This also means that more people will come to our capital. In the future, the housing problem in the capital will be  A big problem."

    In the Sun City Community, Liu Jin took Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and Zhang Mao to walk around and visit the community very casually.

    The people present are all the people at the center of power in the entire Ming Dynasty. Although they are here to see the Sun City Community, they will naturally talk about national affairs.

    Liu Jin took them on a tour and explained to them the current situation inside and outside the capital.

    "This is indeed a problem. The capital was not so congested before, but now it has become very congested. Moreover, there are many temporary shanties built outside the capital, especially around some large factories. The number of shanties is very large.  There¡¯s a huge amount of people living there.¡±

    After listening, Li Dongyang nodded and said.

    He has always paid attention to this matter and has noticed this problem a long time ago.

    "Because a large number of people have flowed into our capital, it has also brought about various problems, such as public security issues. Now the security in our capital is relatively poor. Various crimes often occur, and gangs are rampant and divided into large areas.  Large and small spheres of influence, etc.¡±

    Liu Jin nodded slightly, and then said again.

    Hearing what Liu Jin and Li Dongyang said, Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly. He was a good emperor and an emperor who cared about the people. He saw the suffering of the people in his eyes and was worried in his heart.

    "How should these problems be solved?"

    After thinking for a while, Emperor Hongzhi asked.

    "The scope and size of the capital city have been limited and cannot be changed. This means that no matter how it is transformed within the capital city, the population it can carry will always be limited."

    ¡°So it is necessary to develop a lot outside the city and build more places like Sun City outside the city, so that we can better meet people¡¯s needs for housing.¡±

    "As for public security issues, my suggestion is to crack down hard on hooligans, gangs, etc. These hooligans, gangs, etc. run rampant, bully men and women, and do almost anything evil. If we don't crack down hard, society will be in ruins."  The atmosphere and folk customs will lead to bad things.¡±

    The problem Liu Jin mentioned is very common, and it will be the same in later generations. With the rise of industry and the rapid development of a city, various problems will also appear.

    Generally at this time, if the court is strong enough and can be ruthless enough to crack down on various forces, then a civilized and harmonious city can be created.

    If the imperial court is not powerful enough to effectively attack various forces, then there will be gangster forces in Shanghai and South America that are so powerful that they are not afraid of the government.

    "However, if we vigorously develop outside the capital, without the protection of the city wall, if foreign enemies invade in the future, wouldn't these people be left to their own devices?"

    Xie Qian thought for a while and asked.

    "Since ancient times, all cities have been protected by city walls. Without the protection of city walls, once something goes wrong, the casualties will be very heavy."

    "The population of the capital is increasing, which is very unfavorable for the capital. In order to build the capital, we should strictly limit the number of people coming to the capital, strictly implement the household service system, and strictly prohibit private circulation among the people."

    "In this case, these outsiders in the capital will naturally return to their place of origin, and the security and other problems in the capital will naturally be solved."

    Xie Qian is from the south, and can actually be regarded as the representative figure of the southern scholars in the court. His position is naturally on the side of the southern scholars.

    Historically, Ma Wensheng, the former Minister of War, once suggested that Emperor Hongzhi levy commercial taxes due to insufficient military expenditures. This was strongly opposed by Xie Qian, and the matter was settled.

    From here, it can be seen that he is actually a representative of the big businessmen, big landowners, and big gentry in Jiangnan. He opposes the imposition of commercial taxes. He is also opposed to many changes in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

    Hearing Xie Jin¡¯s words, Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao couldn¡¯t help but frown slightly.

    "If the household service system is strictly implemented, all the factories, workshops, etc. in the Beijing-Tianjin area will die, because they can't recruit people, and there will be no one to work. No matter how good your business is, it won't matter.

    Now these emerging capitalists in the Beijing-Tianjin area are already active.With the rapid development of capitalism, wars between capitalism and traditional feudal forces eventually broke out in various European countries, thus determining the status of capitalism.

    The situation in the Ming Dynasty is a bit different now, because of the emergence of Liu Jin, who knew from the beginning that he wanted to transform the largest traditional feudal force into an emerging capitalist.

    Whether it is the emperor or Zhang Mao and other noble groups, they are all the largest feudal forces, but now they have successfully transformed into emerging big capitalists, which is conducive to the development of capitalism.

    This is why, in a very short period of time, the power of capitalism has been able to compete with traditional power at the highest level.

    The current confrontation between Xie Qian and Zhang Mao has just begun.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
