Nanjing turned out to be the capital of the Ming Dynasty and one of the most prosperous cities in Jiangnan.

Now, as the royal capital of Liang State, it is not only the political center of Daliang, but also the economic and cultural center. It has nearly one million people inside and outside the city, making it the world's largest city.

In recent years, with Li Yan's new policy and the implementation of the five-year plan, the economic growth of Liang State has been rapid.

If statistics are available now, the total economic output can grow by about eight points each year, which is amazing.

With the development of the economy, urbanization in Jiangnan is also progressing rapidly, and Nanjing, as the capital of Liang State, is growing wildly in the entire city.

The inner city of Nanjing has long been unable to meet the residence of the gentry and the common people. A large number of people who came to Nanjing to make a living could only gather in the outer city and form a shanty town with hundreds of thousands of people gathering around the inner city.

As the name suggests, the weaving workshop on the west bank of Qinhuai is a new neighborhood mainly composed of textile workers formed outside the city in recent years.

The workers living here are from nearby workshops. The streets are small and dirty, the houses are low, and they are completely different from the inner city of Nanjing.

Although Gao Huan intends to suppress the gentry and wealthy families, the economic development will inevitably lead to a gap between the rich and the poor. Moreover, Gao Huan's policies only pursue fairness, not partiality, and the gap will still be widened between people.

At the fifth update, before dawn, Shi Kai hurriedly got up and prepared to go to the construction site to work.

Shikai was from Lizhou, Changde Prefecture, Huguang. A few years ago, Liang and Xiguo were fighting there, so they came to Jiangnan with their family to avoid the war.

The Jiangnan area has a large population, and the cultivated land is completely developed, and the conflict between people and land is relatively sharp.

In recent years, Liang State has carried out long-term movements in various prefectures and counties to "be hygienic and eliminate the four pests". It has also organized people along the river to drink boiled water and fight against schistosomiasis, which has increased the lifespan of the Liang State and decreased the number of new populations, resulting in a rapid population growth.

In the past, when refugees like Shikai and blindly circulated, the Liang government was able to allocate houses and land for resettlement, but recently they could only make their own living.

The Shikai family came to Nanjing and rented the cheapest house in the shanty town. The family of three struggled to survive in a small room of less than 15 square meters. Fortunately, in order to solve the livelihood of the people, the Liang government opened workshops, built streets, built yamen and renovated residential areas, and provided job opportunities for refugees.

Shi Kai was able to endure hardships. In order to gain a foothold in Nanjing, he did not go to the textile workshop, but found a work on a construction site.

This job is tiring than a workshop, with wind and sun exposure. Shi Kai is so tired that his legs are weak when he finishes work every day, but his salary is twice as much as he goes to the workshop, and he can earn three silver dollars.

Shi Kai did not alarm his parents. He came out every time dawn. The stall selling breakfast on the street had already opened. He bought two big cakes and went to the construction site while eating.

Now the assessment of officials in Liang State is linked to political achievements. The previous rule of inaction was not feasible in the officialdom of Liang State. Officials must achieve political achievements in the local area in order to be promoted.

The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture was Sun Kewang, a political star promoted from eastern Henan. He was a prince of the Western Kingdom earlier. After surrendering, he sat up from the grassroots level and achieved remarkable political achievements. He was promoted by Gao Huan to the prefect of Yingtian. He was known together with Xia Wanchun as the two most shining political emerging political emergencies in the Liang Kingdom.

At the beginning of this year, there were changes in the Third Division of Southern Zhili. Ruan Chanzheng, who was the governor of the Ministry, was transferred to the Sixth Chiefs as a senior deputy ministerial official. Sun Kewang was the most likely to be transferred to the provincial government as an official.

Sun Kewang studied very quickly. In less than four years, he had already learned about the political ecology of Liang State, as well as the country's operating model and basic national policies.

As an official who surrendered, Sun Kewang has no relationships and resources to use, and he can only reach this day by relying on his own political achievements.

He has a strong ability. After one year of serving in Yingtian Prefecture, he increased the tax revenue in the prefecture by 20%, and also noticed the barbaric growth of shanty towns in Nanjing.

On the one hand, Sun Kewang ordered the government to strengthen patrols in shanty towns and maintain public security in various yards. On the other hand, he proposed a plan for shanty town renovation, broadened streets, built new public toilets, and re-established residential areas.

Under this policy, refugees have a job and the yamen sells land to earn income, and everyone is happy.

The construction site where Shikai is going to work is a major project led by Yingtianfu, which develops a commercial street on the west bank of the Qinhuai River.

It was still early, and Shi Kai not only walked slowly on the street, but at this time he had left the shanty town and came to the commercial workshop near the Qinhuai River.

There are two or three-story wooden stilt houses on both sides of the street here. Shi Kai silently said in his heart, "Shi Kai, work hard! You must gain a firm foothold in Nanjing!"

Workers in the same shantytown have to get up before dawn and hurry to the workshop to work. Most of the people here have not yet got up, and the streets are very quiet.

At this time, Shi Kai was walking on the street and suddenly stopped and found a pair of women's feet sticking out of the alley.

Shi Kai was slightly stunned. When he walked forward, he looked so shocked that his expression changed drastically. He saw a middle-aged woman lying in a pool of blood.

~~~~~~~

In the alley, several yamen runners who rushed over were checking the bodies. A middle-aged captain with sharp eyes was questioning Shi Kai, "Is it the first you discovered?"

Shi Kai nodded, "Official, I went to work in the morning. When I walked to Liushu Lane, I saw her lying here, so I hurriedly reported to the patrolling official."

The middle-aged captain named Zhao Ming. After asking about some information, he knew Shi Kai's residence and the construction site where he worked, and knew that the murderer was not the young man in front of him.

"Official, I still have to go to work. I have to be deducted when I am late. Can I leave?" Shi Kai asked timidly.

"Well! You can leave!" Zhao Ming nodded. He saw countless people. Seeing Shi Kai's appearance, he knew that he was the kind of hardworking and honest man from the countryside.

Shi Kairu was given an amnesty and hurriedly left the alley. When he arrived at the construction site, the workers had already started work. He quickly joined in secret and carried the bricks.

"Shi Kai, you are late today, I will deduct two eldest sons!" The foreman's voice rang.

Shi Kai complained in his heart that one eldest son was a copper yuan with a denomination of fifty cents, and he would have to do it in vain in one day.

Shi Kai secretly said that he was full and felt that today was very unlucky.

At this time, he started working with the workers and stopped to rest until lunch.

Working on the construction site is hard, and in order to give workers the energy to work, the foreman provides a lunch meal.

At this time, Shi Kai took five big steamed buns and squatted with more than a dozen people, wanting to get back the fine, but a group of yamen runners from the yamen office came over.

"Who is Shi Kai!" the head clerk shouted.

The workers looked at Shi Kai, and Shi Kai stood up at a loss, "Official, I am Shi Kai!"

The head clerk sneered, "Good guy, if you kill someone, you won't run away, take it down for me!"

Shi Kai looked shocked and couldn't believe it. The steamed bun in his hand fell to the ground.
