Extra Chapter 13: The Contradiction Between The Demand For Land And Houses And Etiquette In The New
In Yuyao County, Yan Changqing shook his head slightly and walked out of the last official elementary school established by the imperial court.
Behind him were the Ming Dynasty Crown Prince Zhu Xunzhen and other princes from the six empires.
After all, if Yan Changqing wanted to travel to the Ming Dynasty, he would naturally need someone to follow and protect him.
So with a wave of his hand, Zhu Zuxuan, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, asked his prince to take care of Yan Changqing.
After the emperors of the other five empires learned about this, they also waved their hands and told them not to rush back to their country, but to continue to travel around the Ming Dynasty with their teacher Yan Changqing.
Even the emperor of the Dayong Empire immediately arranged for his prince to come over after he returned to Dayong and learned about it.
After all, it is natural for students to take care of their teachers.
Secondly, as a prince of a country, if he lives in a deep palace for a long time and does not go down to the people, it will be difficult for him to deeply understand and appreciate the sufferings of the people.
Without a deep understanding and appreciation of the sufferings of the people, how can the policies formulated by him and the civil and military officials of the court alleviate the people's worries and alleviate their sufferings?!
Therefore, starting from the generation of Emperor Taizong Zhu Biao of the Ming Dynasty, the princes of the Ming Dynasty have always had the practice of traveling among the people and serving as magistrates of counties and states.
Of course, it is not only the Ming Empire that has such a practice, the other six Emperor of Heaven countries also have such a practice.
After all, the emperors of the other six empires were also taught by Yan Changqing.
Thirdly, although Yan Changqing's purpose of traveling to the Ming Dynasty was to choose a disciple with a suitable inheritance for himself, he also knew that this kind of thing "three-one-seven" was something that could only be met by chance.
After all, it is really too difficult to meet his apprenticeship standards.
Therefore, in addition to looking for disciples who meet his standards, Yan Changqing will also lead a group of princes to understand the lowest level of the Ming people from every detail.
By looking at the operation of the huge Ming Dynasty from a small perspective, we are aware of the contradictions that have occurred.
Or it may be a conflict that has not yet occurred but is about to occur, or a conflict that has been buried by the rapid development of the Ming Dynasty, etc.
Guide these princes to think about the reasons for these conflicts and how to solve them.
These thoughts and insights will also be very beneficial for the prince of a country to take charge of and govern the country after he becomes the emperor in the future.
This is why the emperors of the seven empires arranged for their princes to travel to the Ming Dynasty with Yan Changqing. Even the emperors of the seven empires did not have many opportunities to experience such travel education.
After all, Yan Changqing is getting older, and even though transportation has become more and more convenient these years, Yan Changqing's travels around the world are eventually becoming less and less.
Following Yan Changqing, looking at the faint look of disappointment on his teacher's face, the Ming Dynasty Prince Zhu Xunzhen also spoke to comfort him:
“Teacher, why don’t we go to other private primary schools and have a look?!”
As students of their teacher, they also know the real purpose of their teacher's trip, which is to choose a disciple who can pass on their knowledge.
Although they also wanted to be the disciples who could pass on Yan Changqing’s knowledge, Yan Changqing said lightly:
"Are you sure you can finish learning the knowledge you have gained over a hundred years as a teacher within a thousand years?!!"
After that, Zhu Xunji and other princes no longer mentioned that they wanted to be disciples who could pass on the knowledge of their teachers.
Even if they don’t become emperors in the future and become Yan Changqing’s disciples, they don’t even know if they can learn the knowledge of their teacher for more than a hundred years, let alone finish it in ten years. The end.
After all, my teacher is the new all-round Saint after all the Saints, a true master of all schools of thought!
In a sense, their teachers are equivalent to a combination of weakened versions (?) of all the Saints from the past!
Maybe in terms of comprehensive knowledge, even the relatives of the past can't compare with their teachers who have been studying continuously for more than a hundred years!
Well, after Zhu Biao, Zhu Xiongying and Yan Changqing worked together to make all the Saints pass away reasonably, no one in the emperors after Zhu Xiongying knew the secret that the Saints and Yan Changqing were one.
Similarly, Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying, two generations of emperors who knew the secret that Saint and Yan Changqing were one with each other, also chose not to do so after Zhu Biao, Zhu Xiongying and Yan Changqing wrote letters explaining their powerful relationship. Pass this secret on.
Therefore, the emperors of the seven empires starting from the fourth generation did not know that Yan Changqing was actually the Saint of the past.
Therefore, in the eyes of the current princes such as Zhu Xunji, as well as the civil and military officials, college students, and common people of the other seven empires, Yan Changqing is the new Saint who inherits the learning of the Saints after all the Saints!
Moreover, these princes have studied with Yan Changqing for more than ten years and seven or eight years.
In the past ten years, Yan Changqing has taught them with all his heart.
If they really had the talent to learn all Yan Changqing's knowledge within ten years, then Yan Changqing would no longer need to look for disciples who could pass on his knowledge.
After hearing Zhu Xunzhen's words, Yan Changqing was noncommittal, glanced at the surrounding buildings and said:
"Take a good look at these buildings, and after you've finished, tell me what you think tonight."
Zhu Xunji and other princes looked at me and I looked at you, but they all didn't quite understand the meaning of their teacher's words.
However, they all knew that their teacher would never make a mistake, so they all looked at the surrounding buildings seriously, trying to see something from them.
After Yan Changqing gave these instructions, he continued to walk slowly.
The reason why he asked Zhu Xunji and other princes to observe the surrounding buildings was because he hoped that they would be aware of the issues of land, houses and etiquette.
Now that the Ming Dynasty and the other six great empires have entered the steam age after decades or hundreds of years of development, they have begun to enter the modern stage.
After entering the modern stage, it became obvious.
That is, the skills of today's craftsmen have reached the point where they can use reinforced concrete, cement and other building materials to build modern high-rise buildings that are tens of meters high and more than ten stories high, just like Yan Changqing did in his previous life.
However, due to issues related to etiquette, cities and rural areas are not allowed to build such high-rise buildings.
Of course, people in the countryside generally don't need to build such high-rise buildings.
For rural people, what they prefer is to have a big yard, and then build a small building with a height of two or three stories.
And they also have enough homestead land [for such a house].
But for provinces, prefectures, states, counties and cities, it is different.
First of all, one thing must be acknowledged, that is, the education, medical care, trading and other resources in each province, prefecture, state, and county are higher than those in the countryside.
So this is doomed, that is, as long as ordinary people have the ability, they will try their best to find ways to allow themselves or their children to settle down in various provinces, prefectures, states, and counties.
In other words, they need a house in each province, prefecture, state, or county.
However, we must also realize that the resources within a city, especially land resources, are limited.
Even if the land resources within the city can be increased through expansion, this method is very slow.
In addition, officials, nobles, gentry and other families in the city also like to build large houses covering an area of more than ten acres, dozens of acres, or even hundreds of acres.
As a result, more urban land resources will be occupied and wasted, which in turn will lead to less land resources available within the city.
The decrease in available land resources, coupled with the greatly increased demand for land, increases and decreases, which greatly drives up the price of land resources.
For example, when Yan Changqing was still a ninth-grade math doctor, he bought a small house on the corner of Yingtian Mansion. Now the land price has skyrocketed ten thousand times!
It’s literally tens of thousands times more, and it’s still marketable and priceless!
At least if Yan Changqing really wants to sell it, he can at least sell it for 20,000 times the price when he bought it!
To put it simply, with the development of the economy and the increase of people’s income, more and more people hope that they and their families can further enjoy the benefits and resources of urbanization……
The prerequisite for enjoying these benefits and resources is that they have a house to settle in the city.
However, there are relatively few land resources in cities that can be used to build houses, so there are also relatively few houses built in grade.
Since there are relatively few houses, whoever can buy a house will naturally get it with the highest price.
Therefore, houses in various provinces, prefectures, states, and counties have become a luxury product.
This is actually abnormal and an unhealthy economic state, and it also suppresses further consumption by the people.
Therefore, Yan Changqing hoped that Zhu Xunji and other princes would realize this, and then go back to discuss with the emperor, the Ministry of Rites and other officials, and finally abolish the height restrictions on private houses.
In this way, each province, prefecture, state, and county can build reinforced concrete buildings that are tens of meters high and ten stories high [or even dozens of square meters high.
And a piece of land that could only accommodate one family can now accommodate more than a dozen families, or even dozens of families.
At the same time, the originally scarce land resources will also increase in disguise.
As land resources increase in disguise, the price of houses will naturally decrease accordingly.
After the house price is reduced, the number of people who can afford to buy a house will increase greatly.
The originally suppressed housing consumption will be released.
With the increase in housing purchases, the construction, sales, decoration and other links of the house will also drive the development of multiple industries and have a wide and far-reaching impact on the economy of the entire country and society.
For example, the booming development of the real estate industry will drive the rapid development of the construction industry.
The construction of a house requires the support of a large number of building materials, equipment and technicians, such as the production, sales and transportation of building materials such as cement, steel, bricks and tiles, as well as the employment and training of construction workers such as stone tools
carpenters and middle workers.
For another example, the prosperity of the real estate industry will also drive the development of the building decoration and furniture industries.
After buying a house, it is necessary to decorate and purchase matching furniture, which will increase the demand of decoration merchants, furniture manufacturers and sellers, and provide more employment opportunities.
At the same time, the booming real estate market will also increase the number of house sales, and the second-hand furniture market will also develop.
For another example, the prosperity of the real estate market will also have a radiating effect on related industrial chains.
The production and sales of building materials require support from energy, transportation, logistics and other fields, thereby promoting the development of these industries.
For example, the prosperity of the real estate market also has an important impact on the development of the local economy and society. 0.6 The construction of real estate projects can provide a large number of employment opportunities, increase people's income, and promote the improvement of consumption levels. At the same time, the prosperity of the real estate market will also drive the construction of related public facilities, such as transportation, education, and medical care, and further improve the local quality of life and development level. It can be said that the development of real estate does play a huge role in the prosperity of the economy. But at the same time, we must also pay attention to avoid relying too much on the development of the real estate economy like Yan Changqing in his previous life, and we must not let the real estate economy become an important pillar of a country's economy. Because once the real estate economy becomes an important pillar of a country's economy, it will be too difficult to go down safely and smoothly after the real estate economy goes up. At that time, whether it is to maintain the stability of the real estate economy or to maintain their own interests in real estate speculation, buying and selling land resources, etc., from top to bottom, there will be too many, too many people who are unwilling to let the real estate economy fall. They will only push the real estate economy higher and higher, and the higher the real estate economy is pushed, the harder it will be for the people below to afford it. And the more the people below can't afford it, the weaker the pillars supporting the real estate economy will be. Until the real estate economy, which was pushed to the highest position, collapsed like a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water, the economy of the whole country would also suffer a heavy blow.
However, these are all things in the future [It is enough for Zhu Xunji and other ten princes to realize the contradiction between the current people's demand for land and houses and the ritual system. .
