Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Seeing the car, Zhu Xifeng's spirit came back again!

He walked over in a swaggering manner and clamored for the driver to get out of the car, and he drove it himself!

Zhu Jishen's whole body is not feeling well, and he is a little doubtful about life!

After all...how had he ever seen these ancestors drive?

Even wherever these ancestors want to go, there will be dedicated drivers to help drive!

After all, who is a person of status who doesn’t have a driver by his side?

"Let him drive. My ancestor just wants to try his hand. It'll be fine!"

Zhu Zhiqin saw Zhu Jishen's confusion and reminded him helplessly.

There is no way, these ancestors came from the Hongwu Dynasty, and they are not emperor souls. Isn't it normal to want to try driving?

He saw Zhu Xifeng driving by last night. Although it was a bit hard to explain, fortunately, the original drive of ten minutes finally arrived in an hour!

After hearing what Zhu Zhiqin said, Zhu Jishen didn't have any other opinions, so he quickly asked the driver to get out of the car and gave up the driver's seat.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yue couldn't help but look at each other, their faces full of helplessness.

Fortunately, there was no danger along the way. Although the speed was a bit slow, the convoy still arrived at Prince Qi's Mansion an hour later.

In fact, it is not the real Prince Qi’s Mansion.

Just imagine, even places like the Forbidden City are already open to tourists, and places of interest like the Prince's Mansion have long since become scenic tourist areas!

Nowadays, the lords live in basically large manor villas. The building area is not very large, there are only a few three-story villas with swimming pools, and the decoration is extremely luxurious!

This is naturally incomparable with the real palace!

Just like Zhu Yue's former Han Dynasty Palace, the area was calculated in terms of acres!

But in today’s society, every inch of land is already at a premium!

In addition, the place is too big and the expenses are high. Now the lords don't have any personal guards or attendants. Prince Qi's Mansion only has paid servants and some professional bodyguards, and the prices are not cheap!

The stall is so big that a lot of people have to be hired just for the security team. How much does that cost, right?

Today's servants and bodyguards are not familiar with the former domestic slaves who signed a contract of sale, and the relationship between private guards and servants!

Everyone is employed on a salary basis!

Zhu Yuanzhang and his party, except Zhu Yue, were all very interested in this seemingly luxurious manor.

"Times have changed now!"

"As long as you have money, you can buy a place like this!"

“Even if you can’t buy it, you can still build it yourself!”

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang and the others looking at the manor, Zhu Zhiqin said with a smile.

"Yeah, times have changed!"

“Common people can now live in such good houses!”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with emotion.

In modern society, there are too many wealthy businessmen. They live in villas and mansions and drive luxury cars. This would have been unthinkable in the Hongwu Dynasty!

After all, among scholars, farmers, and merchants, businessmen are the lowest, and their status and status are even lower than those of farmers!

Even if you are rich, you cannot enjoy many benefits, such as clothing.

Zhu Yuanzhang had previously stipulated that merchants were not allowed to wear silk and satin, only coarse linen and linen!

At least that's how it looks on the surface. Even if you want to wear it, you're wearing it in private. If someone finds it, you'll have to report it to the official!

Of course, these rules have been abolished in the northwest region where Lao Jiu has reformed!

For example, businessmen in the northwest can enjoy the most luxurious life as long as they have money, as long as the regulations do not exceed the official regulations!

It's like if you have money, you can buy a luxury house, live in a big house, and wear better clothes, but the doornails in your home can only be found in an official's mansion. The more doornails, the higher the grade.

The emperor's house has the most doornails, ninety-nine and eighty-one, right?

But for ordinary people, no matter how luxurious your house is, there won't be a single nail on the door, not even a golden door!

This is why ordinary people also call them "Baiting".

Those with Ding are all people with status!

But even so, Lao Jiu's series of reforms have completely changed the appearance of the people in the northwest, especially the lives and status of the merchants. Compared with other areas of the Ming Dynasty, it is simply heaven and earth. difference!

Zhu Yuanzhang was also worried that after the status and benefits of businessmen improved, the common people were thinking about going into business, so who would farm the land?

But then he figured it out!

It can be said that there are so many people in the northwest who want to do business, but the problem is that doing business is not that easy. If you have talent, you must have the right time, place and people, and you can mix it up in the business field!

Otherwise, the better ones can barely make ends meet, and the worse ones may lose everything!

Ordinary people can only run a small business at most, setting up roadside stalls or something like that, but they still have to plant whatever they need to plant on their family fields!

In addition, it is also because the high-yielding crops produced by Laojiu have greatly alleviated the pressure on food. At least there is no longer a shortage of food in the northwest, and there is even more, which can support other areas of the Ming Dynasty!

In this case, there is no problem in releasing excess labor to engage in various industries, or directly doing business!

"Lao Jiu, we plan to wait until we return to the Hongwu Dynasty and move the capital to extend the household registration system you set to the entire Ming Dynasty. What do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Yue with a smile at this time.

Breaking the inherent class hierarchy and making everyone as equal as possible is the foundation for normal economic development!

Zhu Yuanzhang has also seen this!

Blindly suppressing businessmen is wrong from the beginning.

In other words, if Ming Dynasty was limited to small-scale peasant economy, then it would be right to suppress businessmen.

But if you want to develop a market economy, you must abolish this class division and improve the status of businessmen!

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand this originally, but who gave him the auspiciousness of the country's fortune!

Even if he doesn't understand, he can still spend his fortune to ask!

Anyway, he knew that reforming the household registration policy was the key step for Ming Dynasty to develop next, and it was also the most difficult step!

As long as this step can be taken well, other reforms can go more smoothly!

It can also be said that other reforms are also based on the success of household registration reform!

The northwest under Lao Jiu's governance is the best example!

"Take your time, you can start with the feudal king's fiefdom, and then spread it to the entire Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Yue also deeply agreed with this. He was not like Zhu Yuanzhang, who knew what was happening but didn't know why.

The basis of reform is people!

Household registration reform is the most important part. As long as this part is solved, other reforms will be easy to talk about!
