Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stop smiling when he saw the merchants paying the tolls at the toll booth! This is all pure silver! After the Ming Dynasty, all the cement roads will be built. The tolls collected every day will be a huge amount! Guoyun Xiangrui is right. If you want to get rich, you must build roads first!
Zhu Yuanzhang even found that many local people seemed to have discovered business opportunities. Many vendors started to set up stalls on both sides of the cement road!
For example, tea and wine shops, and some people directly carry baskets to sell all kinds of food and small items! This can be regarded as a scenic spot along the cement road! The local government will also plan specific areas for these people to set up stalls, but they have to charge! Because the government has to hire people to maintain public order. After all, these cement roads are all built outside the city. Maybe there are robbers and robbers. With the presence of officials, these people can be protected from harassment by bandits!
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that it would not take long, as long as all the cement roads in the Ming Dynasty were built, the number of bandits in the Ming Dynasty would definitely decrease!
After all, you can make a living by setting up a stall on the cement road, so why bother to put your head on your belt and do robbery? With the development of the economy, there will definitely be fewer petty thefts, robbers and bandits!
Traveling on the cement road, the speed of the whole team has also increased a lot.
After Zhu Yuanzhang traveled for two days in a row, he heard Jiang Lin say that the front was about to enter the territory of Shaanxi!
At most, it will take two days to reach Xi'an Prefecture! From Xi'an Prefecture to Ganzhou, if you travel fast, it will take less than a day. For such a large team, it will only take two days at most! .
In other words, in four days, you can reach Ganzhou! However, the closer he got to Xi'an Prefecture, the more foreigners there were! Most of them were caravans, traveling in groups! You can also see some foreigners traveling in groups of three or more, which is rare, but not uncommon. ??
In fact, foreigners are still very easy to recognize. They can be clearly distinguished from Han people in their appearance and clothing!
Especially foreigners coming from the Western Regions, you can almost tell them at a glance!
These people were also called Semu people in the Yuan court of the previous dynasty! However, under the rule of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Semu people are no longer the second-class people they used to be. They are all businessmen, but the lowest among the scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans! These Semu people who come to the Ming Dynasty to do business sometimes have to act according to the faces of the local officers and soldiers! However, what kind of household registration reform is the fourteenth old man doing in Ganzhou now? The system of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans seems to have been completely changed in the northwest! The fourteenth old man was impeached by civil officials because of businessmen before!
The main reason is that the Fourteenth Prince often raided the houses of the gentry and wealthy families! Many civil servants in the court are basically related to the gentry group, so it is normal for them to be targeted by these civil servants.things! However, the Fourteenth Old Man has a policy that is also supported by all ministers, that is, the (good Zhao) trade policy of the Hexi Corridor!
In the Ming Dynasty, the so-called merchants were lowly, but such lowly people were inextricably linked to the nobles in the court! The prosperous business in the Hexi Corridor is beneficial to the development of the Ming Dynasty and the merchants, and it can also allow these ministers to indirectly obtain benefits and profits. Naturally, no one stood up to oppose it!
It is precisely because of this policy of the Fourteenth Old Man that Zhu Yuanzhang has an excuse to increase taxes on merchants! .
