Chapter 1529, a prosperous and well-off life

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Nanjing, with the end of the annual vacation, the start of the new year has also arrived. On the roads leading to Nanjing, you can see many pairs of young couples or many groups of fellow villagers walking together.  When I come to Nanjing to work, I can even see people riding bicycles in a cool way from time to time, pedaling their bicycles very fast in the envious eyes of passers-by.

    ¡°It¡¯s such a good era!¡±

    Sitting in the four-wheeled carriage, Liu Jin also watched this scene with a smile on his face.

    Many scenes from later generations resounded in my mind. The scene before me would appear every year before and after each year. It was so similar. Perhaps the only difference was that the four-wheeled carriages on the road were replaced by cars.

    Of course, the expressions on people¡¯s faces also carry their hopes for a better life and their expectations for the future.

    It¡¯s just that later generations, due to a hundred years of suffering, started development late, had a weak foundation, and the industrial chain was at the lowest end, and could only rely on cheap labor to earn a meager hard-earned money.

    It was very pitiful when it finally fell into the hands of the lower-class workers. The couple worked in the city for a year and could not earn much money despite their hard work. They also had to endure the pain of being separated from their parents and children.

    An entire generation of people sacrificed themselves and used their hard work and dedication to ultimately gain the rise of the nation and the prosperity of the country, but this generation is really suffering.

    "However, even after decades of development, although conditions and status have improved, involution is still serious. High housing prices, medical care, and education are still weighing down this hard-working and intelligent nation.

    Even though you are diligent, you still cannot live the leisurely and prosperous life of Europeans and Americans.

    Looking at now, looking at the smiles on the faces of the Ming people on the road, Liu Jin immediately felt that everything he had done was worth it.

    Because Liu Jin feels that only a nation as diligent, intelligent and open-minded as the Chinese nation is worthy of such a life and such prosperity.

    The Ming Dynasty is now the most powerful country in the world, at the top of the food chain. The emerging textile industry, steel industry, shipbuilding industry, infrastructure industry, etc. are also at the high end of this era.

    From top to bottom, the Ming Dynasty does not need to be involved at all. It can obtain a steady stream of huge wealth from overseas every year, and everyone can eat well from top to bottom.

    The upper ruling class can acquire huge wealth, and their wealth is so huge that it is unimaginable; the middle-level factory owners, workshop owners, businessmen, etc. can also rely on their own wisdom and hard work to earn huge wealth.  , there is endless money to spend.

    When the people at the bottom get here, they can also rely on their hard-working hands and hard work to earn considerable income and live a well-off life with sufficient food and clothing.

    Based on the current income level of Ming Dynasty, if a couple works in the city, even if they work in a factory at the lowest level, the average monthly salary will be at least five taels of silver.

    There is no way, a large amount of wealth poured into the Ming Dynasty, allowing the Ming Dynasty to have the most gold, silver and wealth. Coupled with the immigration strategy that it has always adhered to, a large number of vassal states and colonies absorbed a large number of people.

    This has caused an unprecedented shortage of people in the Ming Dynasty.

    This is something that has never happened before. The land of China has always had a lot of people but little land. In the past, the involution was extremely serious. Everyone was grabbing the land of the landlords for cultivation. Even though the conditions were harsh, they were still working hard.  Rushing to plant.

    Various places have been cultivated into fields as much as possible. Terraced fields are the most typical example. Turning a mountain into fields shows how tense the land is.

    Perhaps the shortage of people will only occur when there is a large and unnatural decrease in the population after the change of dynasties, great turmoil, and great death.

    In the middle period of a dynasty, when it was prosperous, there were always more people than land, so there was no shortage of people.

    But now the Ming Dynasty is short of people. Whether it is the two capitals and thirteen provinces in the country, or overseas or outside the customs, there is a shortage of people everywhere. People have become an extremely precious resource, which has made the Ming Dynasty the largest slave market in the world. Every year  Millions of slaves were continuously imported into the Ming Dynasty overseas and outside the customs.

    But in the Ming Dynasty, the use and existence of slaves was strictly prohibited, which greatly aggravated the shortage of labor and increased the labor price of workers in disguise.

    Five taels of silver a month is already the lowest wage in the Ming Dynasty.

    This is not because the capitalists have discovered their conscience, or because they have too much money, so they want to offer such a high price to everyone, but if you don¡¯t offer such a price, it will be difficult for you to recruit people.??'s country, years of expansion and development, coupled with its many advantages, have created the current prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and also allowed ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty to live a prosperous and well-off life.

    Sitting on the four-wheeled carriage, Liu Jin's thoughts were far away and he thought about many things.

    This is only the life lived by the Ming people who stayed in the mainland. As for the Ming people who moved overseas, their lives are even better than those of the local Ming people.

    With the vast land and vast resources overseas and outside the customs, coupled with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, their lives will not be worse than those at home.

    ¡°It¡¯s strange, there are a lot less people~¡±

    Liu Jin's thoughts were racing, but Wang Shouren on the side made a surprised voice and suddenly pulled Liu Jin back.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
