Chapter 152: Planning a New Town
After reading the rattan armor sample, I got to the point, building a new city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sima De cautiously asked: "Rebuilding a city will cost a lot of manpower and financial resources, not to mention, it will take a long time, when will it be built?" ”
Xia Nan laughed and clicked on Tan Er for him to answer.
Tan Er, the new contractor, concealed his pride and said: "Mr. Sima, the master has a thing called cement, which can be used to build walls and build houses after being formed into thin mud, and it dries quickly, and after drying, it is harder than stone." Building a house with cement is several times faster than the old way. Now factories and dormitories are built with this thing. ”
Sima De usually gives advice to the south of the summer, pays attention to strategizing, rarely pays attention to technical things, and does not have much knowledge of cement. He was surprised: "There is such a divine object, is it difficult to refine, and is the material easy to obtain?" ”
Tan Er replied: "The materials are everywhere, that is, limestone and clay, and the refining is also very simple, it is burned to ash and then mixed with water. ”
When Sima De heard this, he suggested to Xia Nan: "That being the case, the new city can be built, and the county seat can also be included, and Lingao County can be completely swallowed." ”
Wei Lianheng was also present, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "If the county seat is also annexed, will it anger the county government and even the prefect's yamen?" ”
Sima De smiled: "What can the county government do if they are dissatisfied?" What if the prefect and yamen are dissatisfied? ”
Wei Lianheng was silent, and he didn't have the confidence to answer this rhetorical question. Yes, what can you do if you are dissatisfied, send troops to fight? How obvious the fate is, he is already standing here as the general of the defeated army.
Sima De added: "It is true that we don't need to be too aggressive at the moment, there is no problem for the city to include the county seat, as long as the county government is retained, and it also leaves dignity for the government." ”
Tan Shan asked: "What about the people in the county, will they agree?" ”
Huang Hansheng stood up, "If you don't agree, let Huang Mengjia hit the county seat again to ensure that no one is noisy." ”
Xia Nan agrees: "As long as the people are convinced that they can be protected by the escort force if they are included in the new city, it should not be a big problem." ”
The crowd was in a debate about whether or not to build a wall. Lin Weiye spoke first: "I think the city wall is completely unnecessary, and the role of the city wall is mainly to defend against the enemy. In Qiongzhou Mansion, only we beat others, who dares to come and fight us, and it makes no sense to spend time and effort building the city wall. Besides, we will develop in the future, we will recruit more people, and the new city will inevitably continue to expand, and without the city wall, it will be more convenient to expand. What is the use of keeping the city wall of the county seat? ”
This is typical of modern thinking, with the advancement of technology, the city wall is no longer enough to defend against the attack of more and more powerful firearms, and in the era of rifled guns, the city wall has completely no value.
As a city, with the increase of population and the development of industry, it is bound to expand outward, and the capital of the old time and space is a typical example. And if according to the Jingshi of this time and space, the city has not yet been built, you have to build a city wall that is dozens of miles or hundreds of miles long, such a huge project is enough to squeeze most of the manpower and material resources, even if there is a big killer like cement, it will take at least a year or two, and don't do anything during this period.
The others couldn't keep up with his thinking and were still worried. Yang Youji asked: "Master Lin, if there is no city wall, let's not talk about the war, if there is an opponent or the enemy's meticulous work mixed in, you can run in all directions, how to arrest it?" The crowd agreed. In ancient times, there was no modern advanced detection technology, and to catch criminals or spies was nothing more than closing the city gate and closing the whole city.
Xia Nan praised: "Yuki thinks carefully, this is really a problem. But think about it, if the city is very large, and the people you want to catch are hiding in any corner, it will be difficult to catch you if you close the city gates, but it will affect the entry and exit of the whole city. To solve this problem, it is to make the other party have nowhere to hide and automatically appear. ”
Yang Yukic said: "Is there any way to be so magical? ”
Xia Nan smiled and didn't answer directly, "You will know in the future." ”
There was a great invention in the old time and space, that is, the household registration ID card system. A person comes out of his mother's womb, works, gets married, has children, buys a house, buys a car, and every step of his life is inseparable from his household registration and ID card. Under this system, everything that people have has nowhere to hide, and even a man who steals and has opened a room can be found out clearly.
Although the Ming Dynasty also had a lijia system, it was too rudimentary and flawed from the time it was formulated.
The original intention of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, to formulate this system was to establish an administrative organization integrating the collection of conscription and local management, which played a certain positive role in the early stage and contributed to the collection of taxes in the huge empire. After hundreds of years of development, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, it had shrunk more and more, and existed in name only, mainly because the rigid system was gradually disconnected from the developing social economy.
With the growing gap between the rich and the poor in society, the ability to bear taxes and servitude between the Lijia is also very different, coupled with the increasingly serious land annexation, the increasing taxes of the imperial court, and the continuous circulation of population and land, the distribution of households and land in Lijia will naturally be separated in space, and there will be a situation of "a mile of land, full of counties, and fields of all counties, all of which have no fixed place", and even the phenomenon of occupying fields across counties, prefectures, and provinces is also numerous. As a result, it is becoming more and more difficult for the leaders of the Lijia to accurately grasp the personnel and property status of the people in the Benli.
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, another social security function of the Lijia system could not be realized with the gradual collapse of the system, and in Guangdong, Fujian and other places, clan organizations replaced this function of the Lijia system.
In contrast, although modern technologies such as computers and the Internet are not available, the modern hukou system, which has stripped away the function of enslavement, is still much more complete than the Lijia system. As long as the people in a city are registered according to their place of residence and a household registration network is constructed, no outsiders can hide like a white grain of rice mixed with a black bean, and in contrast, it will naturally appear. Although the actual effect may not be so ideal, the gradual inventory according to the household registration is much more reliable than the aimless "whole city rope".
Since there is no need for defense and arrest, then the city wall can be abandoned, and as Lin Weiye said, the expansion of the city will not be restricted in the future. Xia Nan thought the same as Lin Weiye, he would not be satisfied with the scale of a small county, he wanted to build Lingao into a big city with developed industry and trade in time and space.
The final plan for the construction of the new city was decided after everyone's discussion, and the poor Wu Daxian Ling did not know at this time that his county government had been planned into the new city, and as a symbolic building, the majesty of the parents and officials would be gone. To be continued.
