Chapter 220： Everyone yearns for Nanjing

Because of the constant emergence of various new things in Nanjing, people in other places are quite concerned about Nanjing and curiously watching everything in Nanjing.

It is difficult for ordinary people to understand Nanjing, but some scholars, businessmen, and officials have their way.

For example, buying the Minbao, Dibao, and books in the Nanjing area. A single Minbao can let others know Nanjing in detail.

After all, no matter what major event happened in Nanjing, it will be published in the People's Daily. Even if a certain big official accepts a certain concubine, the Min Daily will publish it.

As for the new invention, it will be published on the front page of the Min Daily News.

Xuzhou, a group of scholars are getting together, reading newspapers and discussing together.

"The Nanjing Ministry of Households announced that because of the substantial increase in steel production, they will provide free hoes, iron plows and other agricultural tools to the people in the surrounding areas of Nanjing. I don’t know if this news is true. If it is true, then this Wu Changqing is really a good official who loves the people like a child."

A scholar said with emotion that the latest issue of the People's Daily published the news that the Ministry of Households in Nanjing will provide the people with farm tools for free.

Ironware, which is very common and cheap in later generations, is actually very expensive in this era.

People may not have an iron pot or **** in their homes.

Some people can only use pottery for cooking, but they need to rent a **** or use wooden farming tools for farming, which is extremely inefficient.

The status of iron farm tools in this era is a bit like the threshing machine in the countryside in the 1970s and 1980s, not every household has it.

If you have a little asset at home, you can buy a threshing machine.

Farmers who can't afford a threshing machine must go to the family who has a threshing machine on weekdays. They must first help each other with work before they can borrow the threshing machine.

In this era, many farmers did not have, or only had a few simple iron farming tools. The cultivation was very hard and the efficiency was very low.

There is no other way. The nation's iron-smelting capacity is so great, and the iron smelted tools must be given priority to the army. As the fighting continues today, the army needs more iron tools.

The current steel output of China Land is about 10,000 tons a year.

Calculated on the basis of a **** weighing 5 catties, this is only enough to make 4 million pieces. If it were to make iron plows, it would be even less.

In China Land, the number of farmers is more than four million.

What's more, most of the 10,000 tons of steel are supplied to the military. Only a few can be used to build farm tools.

After Wu Changqing teamed up with several big businessmen to establish the Jiangnan Iron and Steel Plant, the output of steel has soared. Today, the Guangjiangnan Iron and Steel Plant can produce 1,000 tons of steel per month and more than 10,000 tons a year. .

The output of a factory exceeds that of the whole country. This is the power of science and technology.

This is only the initial stage, and the Jiangnan Iron and Steel Plant will continue to expand continuously in the future. With the development and progress of society, there is no upper limit on the demand for steel.

The Jiangnan Iron and Steel Plant has expanded 10,000 times, and the steel produced by it cannot meet the demand.

At the time when Wu Changqing traveled, the annual global steel production was 1.8 billion tons, which is 100,000 times that of the current era.

For the steel smelted by Jiangnan Iron and Steel Plant, Wu Changqing requested priority to build farm tools such as hoes, plows, rakes, and threshing machines.

Anyway, his current army is invincible, and the demand for cold weapons is not high.

These farm tools can greatly improve the efficiency of the people's farming, save time, open up more wasteland, increase food production, and have many benefits.

The most important thing is to release the labor force, increase the urban population, and increase the number of workers.

In order to support their families, the people in the past needed a family to plant a lot of acres of land in order to sustain the family's life. Now, with these farm tools, two people can do the work that was originally done by four people.

The two extra people can go to the city, work in factories, and produce more steel, thus forming a good cycle.

If the rural labor force is not liberated, even if Wu Changqing has technology, he will not be able to recruit so many workers to set up factories.

Many people don't understand why Wu Changqing should provide the people with farm tools for free. After all, it is not easy to understand the logic.

However, Wu Changqing is still unswervingly formulating such a policy. As a traverser, he knows that this is the most correct development path.

"This is naturally true. The Minbao is open to everyone. If the reports above were false, they would have been exposed long ago. The Minbao has been established and published for more than half a year, but I haven't heard anyone say that the report is not true."

Said another scholar surnamed Wang.

"Then Wu Changqing is really a good official. Blessed are the people in Jiangnan."

The speaker was Wei Chengen. When he was studying, he had the dream of becoming a good and honest official in the future. Now, seeing Wu Changqing considerate for the people, he naturally admires it very much.

"More than the people are blessed, the businessmen in Nanjing are also very blessed, they can make a lot of money by relying on Wu Changqing. According to a friend of mine, Wu Changqing's reputation in Nanjing is very good, not only the people like it, but the businessmen also like it."

"Look at this article again. Eight hundred and two BMW cars, five and two bottles of perfume, three dollars and one stone for grain, and seventy cents a catty for coarse salt..."

"Are the prices in Nanjing so cheap? BMW cars and perfumes are understandable, after all, they are their unique goods, but why are the food, coarse salt, cloth, and civilian materials so cheap?"

Everyone was discussing, they couldn't figure out why the prices in Nanjing could be so low. How can businessmen make money at such low prices? If the businessman can't make money, how can he like Wu Changqing's rule.

An article describing prices in Nanjing made them more confused and emotional.

Whether the life of a place is good or not is the most intuitive manifestation by looking at prices. Where prices are low, living costs are low, and people's lives are better.

"I really want to go to Nanjing to take a look, or to settle in Nanjing."

Wei Chengen said.

People's newspapers almost described Nanjing as a paradise on earth. There is no mud on the ground and the so-called cement road is paved. How can people not yearn for it?

These people live in a territory controlled by the Manchus, and their lives are not so good.

Recently, in order to increase the speed of weapons manufacturing, Dorgon ordered an increase in taxes in the north. And these taxes will eventually fall on these Han people.

"If Brother Wei and we went together, I would not have wanted to stay in this place ruled by the Qing Dynasty. With our talents, if we could find an opportunity to serve the court in Nanjing, it would not be in vain that we came to this world. Once."

Wei Chengen is not the only one who is tempted, Wang Gongzi and others also want to go to Nanjing to take a look. If Nanjing is really as good as the Minbao said, they will plan to settle in Nanjing.
