The affairs of the Jia family will not affect the Lin family, nor will it affect the court at all.

Over the years, with the completion of the layout of the emperor and his confidants, one technology after another has been researched, from soap, to glass, to cement, to the development of each technology, which has brought huge benefits to the treasury time and time again.

At the same time, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the lives of the people all over the world.Tenant farmers without land no longer work in various landlords' homes, but in various factories run by the state.

There are no extra people farming, but the court has stipulated that the fields cannot be left barren, and once they are discovered, they will be fined ten times the barren field.Many wealthy families had no choice but to drive their servants to farm, and those who could not grow had to be sold to the court.

Over the past few years, the imperial court has reclaimed a lot of land, and because of this, most of the hidden fields have been pulled out and registered.

There are too many fields in the imperial court, so we can't leave them alone. The imperial court has set up a special farmland department, and recruits the remaining people in the factory into the farmland department according to the wages of workers.

At the beginning, a large number of cash crops were planted to feed the workers who entered the Ministry of Agriculture.Later, with the further expansion of various factories, the number of workers needed increased sharply, and most of them were transferred back to the factories, and various advanced machines began to be used in the farmland.

Seeders, harvesters, and other equipment that are conducive to planting have been researched and widely used, and the production cost has dropped, and the value of agricultural products has also decreased. People can use less and less money to buy more food.

The people no longer worry about being hungry, and those who entered the factory had a better life, almost reaching the point of having enough food and clothing, and envied everyone around them for a while.

Unexpectedly, the group of people who Kuhaha could only be tenant farmers at the beginning have become the existence that everyone envies, and their lives are very nourishing, while those who guard their own a few acres of land are getting worse and worse.

Then what's the point of them guarding these lands?

In addition to being able to eat enough to eat, I can't save much money all year round, which is far worse than the workers.

Moreover, relying on the sky to eat and worrying about natural disasters, after all, there is no guarantee for the factories run by the imperial court, so more people gave up farming and sold the fields to the imperial court, and found their own way to enter the factory.

At the same time, the wealthy landlords who still own a large amount of land are getting more and more miserable.The price of crops is getting lower and lower day by day, not to mention earning less and less money, it is becoming more and more difficult to recruit manpower, and the wages of recruiting people are rising faster and faster.

If there is another drought and flood, the people can still receive the relief food distributed by the court, but the servants of the rich family will not be able to do it. After all, they do not belong to the court, but domestic slaves, and only belong to the master. Relief food will be distributed.

What can be done?We can't let the servants starve to death. The richer family has no choice but to grit their teeth and buy food to feed them, while the smaller family can only return the deed of sale, restore the servants to the status of civilians, and let them receive relief from the court. food.

After such a wave, the number of small and medium-sized families hoarding land has become less and less, and a large number of people have regained their freedom and become people who have to pay taxes to the court.

In order to keep their wealth and life, the wealthy families had to take out their savings and participate in the imperial court's factory plan. They paid out money and paid people to get a part of the shares. In the future, relying on these shares, they can also Don't worry about eating and drinking.

And some people who are reluctant to part with their family property have gradually been run on their family property and have to sell their property to make a living.

For those who cannot keep up with the times, they can only be gradually eliminated. Since the wave of revolution has already started, it will not stop for anyone.

As tax revenues increased and the income of various factories increased, the court amassed a lot of money, and infrastructure and charity came into being.

Infrastructure construction has not only brought huge benefits to the people, not to mention that life has become more and more convenient, and the ability to resist stress and risks has become stronger and stronger.At the same time, a large number of jobs have been provided, and many dismissed servants have been put into the ranks of infrastructure, but there is still a huge demand.

In order to get more population and dump products, the imperial court launched the "Travel Plan" to open the Silk Road, maritime trade, and sell commodities while also buying a large amount of labor and products from other places , Supporting the construction of the Zhou Dynasty.

With the rapid development of technology, the original education level is no longer enough to support the current demand. The school was established first, supported by the national treasury, and jointly organized by local governments. Schools of all levels were opened to enroll all registered children. .

When these children graduate from various schools, they will enter various units and become managers of large and small departments.And those who can persist until the end still take part in the imperial examination and become the pillars of the imperial court.

It's just that the current imperial examinations have changed a lot compared to before. It was ordered by the emperor, and the Hanlin scholars studied together. It took five years to finally come up with a set of effective methods.

It not only takes into account the learning of Confucianism, but also strengthens the infiltration of various disciplines, so the division system is inevitable.

Therefore, after Yulu Academy and various students finished studying Confucianism, teaching supplementary books for various subjects were also put on the agenda. At one time, there were hundreds of teaching supplementary books, which were not much more than later generations.

Education accounts for a part of the national treasury expenditure, and the other part is nursing homes and orphanages. However, there is no such thing as retirement in this era. Nursing homes and orphanages are directly merged, called Yushan.In the courtyard, the elderly with mobility will take care of the elderly and young children with disabilities.

Each orphanage assigns some family members of the workers to participate in the management during the period and help take care of the elderly and young children. In order to reward their hard work, they not only give Gao Xin, but also promise to assign a worker to their family after 20 years of work. quota.

However, if the management is not good, or if there is a situation where the elderly and children in the courtyard are treated badly, all the workers in her family will be forced to sit together and all will be laid off.

While regularly distributing supplies to the courtyard, the imperial court would also secretly send people to visit, and also set up a reporting system for the common people to monitor. If the reporting was true, then his family could increase the number of workers.

While all the elder sisters and aunts who were selected into the Yushan Academy were happy, they were also extremely careful, for fear that if one was not serious, they would lose this high-tech job, and even their family members would be hurt.

In order to make local officials take good care of the Yushanyuan, the imperial court also counted the success of the children in the courtyard as one of the official assessments.

How many children in the local Yushan Institute under their jurisdiction have become workers, and how many children have passed the imperial examination are all the achievements of these officials, and they cannot help but care.

Of course, charity is definitely more than these, there are also medical care, and other aspects, so I won’t go into details one by one.

As the Zhou Dynasty became more and more prosperous, the lives of the people became better and better, and foreigners were envious of the Zhou Dynasty. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the plan, the military was the emperor's most important goal, and almost one-third of the funds all into it.

Anxi didn't know how the emperor used it and how to develop his military, even Lin Ruhai didn't know about it.

Whether it was out of precaution, or out of confidentiality, the emperor had no intention of revealing it to An Xilin Ruhai, and the two of them had no intention of exploring it.

Regardless of the plan, whether they participated or not, they are all insiders, and they are the ones who know the overall plan.In any case, the emperor would not tolerate their contact with the army. Neither the Lin family nor the Lin family's in-laws would and could not have contact with the army.

Therefore, the emperor paid attention to the marriage choices of the two children of the Lin family.

Brother Jue was admitted as a scholar at the age of ten, and was admitted to Juren at the age of 13. After waiting for several years, he took the examination until he was nineteen, and won the first prize in one fell swoop, becoming the number one scholar at that time.

Brother Jue followed the path of a pure literati, the emperor was very satisfied, and gave Brother Jue a marriage to the granddaughter of the emperor's teacher.

This emperor's teacher is the emperor's teacher. He is upright and does not know how to adapt. The whole family has a literati temper, and everyone stays in the Imperial Academy and does not move.

They don't yearn for power, and only focus on writing books, so whether they are in the reign of the Supreme Emperor or in the present, they are like outsiders.

Such a family was also particularly loved by the emperor, and even the crown princess hired the eldest daughter of their family.

And this time the marriage was given to Brother Jue by the second wife's daughter-in-law, who was related to the Crown Princess as aunt and nephew.

This kind of relationship is neither close nor far. After the crown prince ascends the throne, the princess's natal family cannot be used. Brother Jue can become the prince's confidant by following the trend, and there is no need to worry about their collusion. What's the use of collusion, exploring knowledge?

At that time, the position of the crown princess was unstable, but Brother Jue was also stable.

And if the prince did not ascend the throne due to an accident, the relationship between Brother Jue and the prince would be relatively distant. At most, the new emperor would be displeased, not to the extent of suppression.

Therefore, this marriage was considered by the emperor in many ways, and it was a guarantee for the Lin family, which can be regarded as a reward for the 'plan'.

As for Daiyu's marriage, not long after the emperor bestowed a marriage on Brother Jue, Shu Ge'er of the Yu family was settled.

Originally, Lin Ruhai didn't want to make a decision so early, but the emperor's act of granting the marriage without any discussion stimulated him. Forget about the son, he will marry in after all, and the daughter can't let the emperor be so casual.

In any case, Brother Shu is the candidate that the Lin family has investigated for many years. Although it is not a suitable candidate for most famous ladies, it is very suitable for Daiyu.

Brother Shu doesn't enter the official career, so he and Daiyu can live a life of poetry, wine and tea every day.And the status of the Lin family and the Yu family, as well as their own talents, can ensure that they can live a very good life without worrying about some mundane things.

The Yu family was very happy about this marriage. Dean Yu and Yu Song had long admired Daiyu's talent and wanted to publish a collection of poems for her. When Daiyu married in, they could start working on it.

But others really love this little girl Daiyu, Daiyu Yuxue is cute, intelligent and quick-witted, there is no one in the Yu family who doesn't love her.At the beginning when Brother Shu and Daiyu were made to date, it was also for the purpose of letting Brother Shu abduct this precious lump into the house. Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he is not happy.

Brother Jue and Daiyu's successive marriages made Lin Ruhai and Jia Min think of Anxi again. It's fine if Anxi doesn't want to get married, but he can't have children.

Even the emperor began to ask questions. After all, Anxi still has a hereditary title, so he can't be so confused all the time.

Anxi thought for a while, and said simply, "If brother Jue gives birth to a second son, how about putting it in my name? I will pass on the title to him, but I don't know how to raise children, and they have to raise them themselves."

Anxi originally wanted to add Daiyu's child, but in this era, clan surnames are still more important. Daiyu is a married woman, and it is much more difficult to inherit than Jue's children.Thinking about the troubles involved, Anxi still didn't say anything.

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min glanced at each other, they didn't expect Anxi to make such a decision, but it was a good thing for Brother Jue.

"It's just that the Lin family has always had few children, so there may not be a second boy." Lin Ruhai said helplessly. He himself was lucky to have a son and a daughter, but Brother Jue might not be.

"Then we'll talk about it when the time comes." If Brother Jue doesn't have any, then think about Daiyu's children, maybe there won't be any.
