Chapter 256 Daming's demographic dividend!
the next day.
Those who are interested in working or working have gotten up earlier.
People who are recruiting also come early, and the recruitment stalls are opened one by one, just like the modern 21st century job fair.
"Name? Who? Age? What skills do you have..." The recorder asked a man who had not made an appointment for a job, with a black face and Kong Wu's powerful one.
"My name is Wang Jinxi, nicknamed Iron Man, a native of Yongping, thirty years old, has worked as a blacksmith for ten years. There is also a wife and two children in the family, and they are all here." The man inspires his muscles and answers.
The recorder quickly finished recording and handed him a sign and said, "Blacksmith is a good job. Take your brand and take your family with you. Go there to have something to eat for breakfast. If you want to go to Zhujiazhuang, you will have a carriage and get on the road together."
Wang Jinxi did not rush to leave, but asked back: "Master, my baby in my family is sick. Can you make some money to get medicine first?"
The document recorded was not angry, but showed a caring expression and said, "You are a blacksmith, and the Marquis loves craftsmen the most. Don't take medicine yourself, as it will delay the child's illness. Do you see the Red Cross card over there? Send the child over there, and you can get medical treatment for free with this wooden card. Hurry up!"
Wang Jinxi bowed vigorously, turned around and ran.
"Hurry, hurry, my son is saved."
Soon, the family entered the Red Cross room.
The doctor and nurse team from Zhujiazhuang immediately examined his son.
"High fever of 39 degrees, physical cooling will be reduced immediately. Prepare for fever reduction injections, it is likely that it is pneumonia, and is ready to rescue..."
"Prepare infusion, record medicines, penicillin, XX gluten..."
After Zhu Zilong's intentional training for a year, Zhujiazhuang People's Hospital, led by Xiao Qiuxiang, now has qualified female doctors and male doctors, with only a few hundred. In addition, there are nearly a thousand nurses who are also familiar with it.
Therefore, there will be a doctor's team station in several of his fiefs and base camps, and even in North Korea.
Wang Jinxi saw his son who had been much better soon and fell asleep sweetly. He kept muttering: "I met a noble man, I really met a noble man. Thanks to my blacksmith that year, I heard that Longhou of the Four Seas likes craftsmen to work for him the most, and my family is saved!"
His wife picked up a steamed bun and handed it to Wang Jinxi and said, "Eat it, the head of the family. I can see that as long as you are willing to work hard for the Marquis, you can live in this world. As long as you can save your life, you will have hope."
Many people have been given the opportunity to treat the disease for free, and when they come out, they are all crying. They are kneeling in the direction of Yantai, shouting that the Marquis is so kind that they can only repay their death!
In these days, it is not a rich man who can’t afford to treat the disease at all, and he can only wait for death. But here, he can treat small diseases for free and get discounted for serious diseases. It’s simply a recreation of kindness!
At the job fair, even if you are not a craftsman, it’s okay. As long as you can endure hardships and be willing to work hard, there are more work to do!
When building roads, docks, farming, people need to be in charge of everywhere.
This group of more than 10,000 refugees are estimated to be divided within a few days under Zhu Zilong’s arrangement and a stable arrangement will be obtained. From then on, the unstable refugees have turned into a demographic dividend.
For ancient court officials and landlords with limited knowledge and limited technology.
The number of refugees has nothing to do with them, and it’s better to die, just don’t steal their things.
However, once this burden is found the right way out, for example, when it comes to people like Zhu Zilong who are cheating and knowledgeable, it will turn from burden to real demographic dividend!
The so-called "demographic dividend" refers to a country's working-age population accounts for a large proportion of the total population and a relatively low dependency rate, creating favorable population conditions for economic development. The entire country's economy is in a situation of high savings, high investment and high growth.
In the 21st century, everyone has a long life span, and many young people do not want to have offspring, so the population dividend is small and the country is aging.
On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty is now.
Years of disasters, many wars, and average age is small. Generally speaking, the elderly among the people will die early.
Most of the remaining ones are women, children, and young men.
These people are all treasures in Zhu Zilong's eyes. The pure and pure demographic dividend!
"Demographic dividend" does not mean that the economy will inevitably grow, but once economic growth enters the fast lane, the "demographic dividend" will inevitably become a powerful booster for economic growth.
Zhu Zilong was full of confidence in the economic and military development after the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, not to mention more than 10,000 refugees, he is willing to accept any number of people who come to him.
The Ming Dynasty now has more than 100 million people in the country, distributed on a territory as large as the New China in later generations. In terms of character density, it is only one-tenth of that in later generations of New China in 21st century.
In the later generations, the population of a province was more than 100 million, while the population of the Ming Dynasty was only more than 100 million.
In other words, as long as Zhu Zilong's technology keeps up and food keeps up, even if he concentrates the entire population of the Ming Dynasty to a province in Shandong, it is theoretically feasible.
Of course, he wouldn't do such a crazy thing, just to give an example.
With the power of a province, it is completely possible to do it as long as it has the ability to travel through two time and space!
At this moment, the job fair is on site.
Everyone was very satisfied. Those who were not skilled among the refugees, as long as they could farm and have the strength, they were like migrant workers in later generations. They could also live well!
For Zhu Zilong, the more people who are refugees entering the country and are able to work hard, the better.
These people have been plowing the fields all their lives. If they enter the fort, they can not only eat, wear and be warm, but also continue to plow the fields. It is said that everyone is very happy.
Day 5.
All kinds of craftsmen took a carriage first, and most of them went to Zhujiazhuang and Yantai.
The remaining refugees began to repair the official road and dedicated road leading to Yantai in Linqing according to the orders sent by Zhu Zilong.
I saw countless refugees on various official roads and the special roads of the Zhu family army, pulling huge stone mills and crushing them back and forth on the road. The mills were no less than a few thousand pounds.
The strong men shouting horns were busy moving forward, and they were struggling step by step, but their faces were hopeless, unlike before.
Because, as long as you can endure hardships, you will not only have food to eat, but also have wages.
This was an extremely rare good thing in the war and natural disaster era in the late Ming Dynasty.
On both sides of the road, there are digging trenches, stones, men and women, young and old. If you want to do things and earn food and wages, you can find work under Zhu Zilong's rule.
Even if you don’t have the strength, it doesn’t matter if it’s a woman or a child. Those with strength always have to eat, dress, live and entertain, right?
Therefore, women and children can do logistical work.
For example, now, in the sheds far away from the road, there are big pots standing there, steaming hot water, and a group of women and children are busy there, helping the chefs cook, burn firewood, wash clothes, and do various logistics work.
The same package is also worth a little wage.
You can find someone to take charge of anything, and you will get rewards if you do your work.
