Everyone at the scene was shocked. The appearance of the word "Jinyiwei" is often accompanied by blood and killing.
What's more, in the recent period, Jiangnan rebellion and smuggling cases have been aroused, and Jin Yiwei has been arresting people everywhere, which has added fuel to the already poor reputation.
When did these murderous gods come to Yu County? Why didn’t Yu County know anything about it beforehand?
What is even more chilling is that the commander arrived in person?
What's going on...
Kong Zhiping was even more confused and asked: "Where...?"
Yuan Bin put away the smile on his face and slowly uttered two words: "Zhao Yu!"
Hearing this, Kong Zhiping's old face lost all color in an instant, and he shouted hurriedly: "I am a retainer of Duke Yansheng's Mansion, so what about the Jin Yiwei, can I take care of the affairs of Duke Yansheng's Mansion?"
Yuan Bin said calmly: "Since Yan Shenggong's Mansion can control Yu County, why can't Jin Yiwei control Yan Shenggong's Mansion?"
"You...this is a strong word!"
Kong Zhiping immediately put on a condescending expression and began his performance.
"In the tenth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu issued an edict that Duke Yansheng had the right to set up an official office, and he could intervene in all matters of education in the world. Now that Yu County is not familiar with education, Duke Yansheng's mansion will naturally not sit idly by and set an example for the world's scholars.
Yes!"
"Is it an example?"
Yuan Bin didn't want to talk nonsense to him at all, and waved his hand: "Come on, take these people back to Zhao Prison. I want to see how he sets an example!"
Kong Zhiping became anxious and shouted: "I am a disciple of a saint, how dare you?"
"How could a saint teach you such a piece of shit? Take him away!"
Immediately two school captains came forward, and Kong Zhiping hurriedly shouted: "You don't respect the saints, are you afraid of being cast aside by the scholars in the world?"
"Bah!"
Yuan Bin sighed disdainfully and cursed: "Do I care about reputation? Why don't you go out and ask around? Who arrested those thousands of officials and gentry in Jiangnan, including hundreds of thousands of their families? Who scolded Jin Yiwei?
There are so many people here, who the hell are you?"
At that moment, he couldn't help but pick up the person and leave.
From the moment Jin Yiwei entered the house to when he was taken away, the whole process only lasted for a cup of tea. County Prime Minister Cui Shirui stood aside, in a state of shock throughout the whole process.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What happened?
Yuan Bin walked straight to the gate, then remembered something, turned around and waved to Cui Shirui.
Cui Shirui didn't dare to neglect and hurried forward.
"What are the orders from Commander Yuan?"
Yuan Bin said: "Are you County Magistrate Cui Shirui?"
"That's right, the official!"
"Your Shang County Magistrate has been promoted, and the documents will arrive in the next few days. There is no decision yet on the candidate for the new magistrate of Yu County. Shang Ren once recommended you to the emperor, but..."
Having said this, Yuan Bin shook his head, his face full of disappointment.
Cui Shirui looked stern and suddenly realized something.
Over the past year in Yu County, Shang Ren has been facing many difficulties in implementing the New Deal in an all-round way.
Since he has been promoted, it means that the emperor is very satisfied with Yu County's new policy.
Thinking back to the fact that as soon as the Kong family arrived in Qufu, Shandong, the Jin Yiwei followed, things seemed very clear.
What the emperor wants is the New Deal, not Yan Shenggong!
And my performance just now...
Thinking of this, he suddenly came to his senses and said: "Commander Yuan, please rest assured, and please rest assured the emperor. Yu County's new policy is a measure that benefits the country and the people. Unless the emperor personally issues the decree, no one can even think about the new policy."
!"
Seeing this, Yuan Bin's expression improved slightly and he said: "The candidate for the next magistrate of Yu County will be decided after the year. This kind of thing should not be worried about by Jin Yiwei. So I will say this, and you will do the rest."
Seize it!"
"Commander Yuan, please bow to me!"
The expression on Cui Shirui's face suddenly became solemn. He took a step back, bowed deeply with his hands together.
Yuan Bin nodded, said nothing more, turned and left.
Now that Jin Yiwei has appeared, he is not afraid of showing off, so Yuan Bin escorts Kong Zhiping and his party in a high-profile manner, leaving Yu County and heading towards Beijing.
Zhu Qizhen changed into the uniform of a school captain and followed the team, while Yu Qian remained in Yu County in casual clothes.
What he has to do now is to thoroughly understand the new policies implemented by Yu County this year, from top to bottom, and then spread the successful experience to the world.
Zhu Qizhen cannot stay any longer, because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he has to go home to celebrate the New Year.
My wife and son are still waiting at home!
Jiangnan has been turned upside down. Taking advantage of the weakened Wenchen Group, it is a good time to implement the New Deal across the country.
It is about more than 500 miles from Yu County to the capital. In the past, it took at least ten days to cross the mountains. However, since Shang Ren took office, the first thing he did was to mobilize the whole county to build roads. Now he is walking on the newly built road.
, two or three days is enough.
If you are in a hurry, you can arrive in one day with a fast horse like the Liubaili Express.
Three days later, Zhu Qiyu was reviewing memorials in the Wenhua Hall when news suddenly came that the emperor was back.
He was stunned at first. Why did the emperor return to Beijing without any news at all?
Doubts were doubts. He knew that now was not the time to worry about these things, so he hurried out.
When he saw Zhu Qizhen wearing soap clothes and looking exactly like a military captain in royal robes, he was stunned again.
"My brother, please come to see your Majesty!"
Zhu Qizhen looked at him, smiled, and said: "Get up, my brother worked hard during my trip to Nanjing!"
Zhu Qiyu hurriedly replied: "This is my duty!"
"Let's go and sit with me in the study!"
Zhu Qizhen doesn't like to go to Fengtian Palace unless there is some important national event or a meeting, because he feels that Fengtian Palace is too formal. Ministers in the palace must be careful when speaking and doing things, thinking about a sentence for a long time.
I’m afraid I’ll say something wrong and get into trouble.
Therefore, he usually stayed in the Imperial Study Room, where he summoned ministers, which made him appear more cordial and less restrictive.
When the eunuch Huaien saw the emperor coming back, he was very excited and quickly made a pot of tea.
Zhu Qizhen saw him and asked subconsciously: "It's you, where is Jin Ying?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Wynn said dullly: "Eunuch Jin...went to sea..."
"Going to sea, when?"
Zhu Qizhen suddenly remembered that it seemed to be his own decision to arrange for Jin Ying to go to sea with the fleet.
Because he always felt that placing so many eunuchs in the palace was really a waste of human resources.
Regardless of the fact that there are only 9,000 rooms in the palace, it stands to reason that there are only about 10,000 eunuchs and maidens at most. However, only a small part of the eunuchs and maidens who can live in the palace.
Especially eunuchs, most of them do not live in the palace. Only some with status or when they need to be on duty will enter the palace. The rest of the time, they live outside the palace.
When not on duty, they are just like ordinary people, and some eunuchs even have more luxurious residences than officials and gentry.
When Wang Zhen's property was first searched, there were more than a dozen mansions alone.
Zhu Qizhen had seen the current roster of eunuchs, and found that there were more than 50,000 eunuchs. This huge number made him very troubled. The Ming Dynasty was about to usher in a new era, and the most scarce thing was human resources.
Simply, make arrangements for them and go to sea with the fleet!
Wouldn't it be great to follow Zheng He's example and become the Pirate King?
However, when I went to Nanjing during this period, I was busy fighting against the rebels every day, and arresting people and killing people. I forgot about the opening of the sea, and I don’t know what’s going on now.
Zhu Qiyu looked a little strange and said: "Concerning the voyage to the West, my brother sent a memorial to the emperor..."
"Sorry, I'm just too busy!"
With a slight apology on his face, Zhu Qizhen said: "I didn't even have time to read those memorials of yours carefully. Can you tell me, how far are they progressing now?"
Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Before the emperor left the capital, Peng Qing, the Imperial Supervisor, and Tang Xiaozhong, the Cultural and Historical Museum, had different opinions, and there was no conclusion on the issue of the nautical chart. Later, after Wu Canghai and others identified it, the nautical chart of the Cultural and Historical Museum was indeed
There are a lot of mistakes."
"It seems that something went wrong when the people at the Museum of Literature and History were copying!"
"However, Tang Xiaozhong refused to admit it and insisted that there was no problem with the charts he had collected. After discussing with the cabinet, my brother and the cabinet agreed that while the treasure ships for sailing to the West were still being built, it would be better to send two small fleets to take the lead.
According to two nautical charts, they each went to verify which channel was feasible. One team was led by Peng Qing, and the other was led by Tang Xiaozhong."
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "This is also a way. When will you set off?"
Zhu Qiyu replied: "About a month ago, Jin Ying, whom the emperor mentioned just now, was on Tang Xiaozhong's fleet."
Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "He chose it himself?"
"Yes!"
"What about Peng Qing's ship? Is there anyone accompanying it?"
"Most of the personnel arranged by the imperial court followed Tang Xiaozhong on the ship, but Wu Canghai and others insisted on following Peng Qing."
Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen had a rough idea. It seemed that some people had suffered.
"When can other treasure ships be built?"
"Brother Chen specifically inquired with the shipyard. After the treasure ship is built, it will take three to four years to dry in the shade. However, many people with navigation experience, such as Hong Bao and Wu Canghai, have suggested that if it is smoked and dried instead,
This time can be compressed several times, and it only takes about ten months to launch. My brother has arranged for people to set up a drying field and try to use smoke drying. If everything goes well, we can set sail before October next year." Zhu Qizhen nodded. It was not easy to compress three years into ten months.
Sailing to the Western Ocean is easy to say, but the preliminary preparations alone require the support of the whole country, especially the treasure ship. If the quality is not up to standard and falls apart halfway, how much manpower and material resources will be lost!
This drying method is feasible, but it depends on the technical skills of the boatmen.
"You are doing the right thing. Tomorrow, you will issue an order to improve the benefits of boat workers and double their salaries!"
Zhu Qiyu was a little puzzled and asked: "Doubling it, is it... too much?"
There are not only three or five shipwrights in the shipyard, but at least hundreds of thousands. How much does it cost to double it?
"Not much, I just want to tell people in the world that as long as they have the ability, I will never be stingy with money. Moreover, I am planning to abolish the household allowance system, so that all people can freely choose their occupations and will no longer be restricted by household registration."
"Ah..."
Zhu Qiyu was once again shocked, abolishing the household subsidy system?
Even if you are the emperor and you have the final say in the affairs of the world, how can you discard the rules set by your ancestors at your will?
Of course Zhu Qizhen knows this, but if the household subsidy system is not abolished and human resources cannot keep up, how will the New Deal be carried out?
Although in the eyes of later generations, the household subsidy system is a shackle, a shackle that hinders historical development, but when looking at anything, one must first understand one thing. What is the environment behind it?
Just like the imperial examination, it was by no means useless when it was first born, and it was an effective measure to maintain national unity.
In the third year of Hongwu's reign, Zhu Yuanzhang announced the implementation of the household allowance system, marking the official launch of the household allowance system in the Ming Dynasty.
The person who first proposed the household sticker system was Taichang Shaoqing Chen Mei. Taichang Temple was mainly responsible for the imperial ancestral temple etiquette. Chen Mei once reported to the imperial court that according to Zhou rites, the emperor should inform the country's household registration number when offering sacrifices.
Heaven.
Chen Mo's advice coincided with Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts. Because the Ming Dynasty had just been established, the most important thing at this time was to stabilize the people's hearts before it could continue to develop. However, how to win the people's hearts and make them think that the king is supreme?<
/p>
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and felt that offering sacrifices to heaven was a good way.
By offering sacrifices to heaven, we can inform the people of the world that the imperial power is destined by heaven and cannot be done by the laws of heaven, so that the people of Li can truly surrender to themselves.
However, although Chen Mei's suggestion is good, there is an objective reality, that is, we must first grasp the detailed population of the country, which is a big project. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty has not yet completely consolidated the country, and wars continued, and the population statistics are even more complicated.
It’s even more difficult.
Soon after, someone helped Zhu Yuanzhang solve the problem of population statistics.
This man's name is Chen Guan, one of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and he served as the prefect of Ningguo.
During Chen Guan's tenure, in addition to conscientiously carrying out local construction, he often went to observe the public sentiment.
In the process, he discovered that the local gentry often used various means to occupy people's land, so he strictly investigated and dealt with it, and explicitly ordered the local gentry not to oppress the people, otherwise they would be severely punished.
However, although the powerful gentry did not know how to rob, they had many means in private. The government's orders only treated the symptoms and could not cure the root cause, so Chen Guan began to completely liquidate the population and land area in the Ningguo area to prevent powerful people from occupying it again.
The specific measure is to conduct a house-to-house liquidation, count the population, houses, land, and even the number of cattle of each family, and then confirm it with the government and the households under investigation, commonly known as household stickers, and the signatures and paintings are postponed.
Two copies are given to the government and the people for safekeeping respectively. In this way, each family's property has a clear number. Even if it is occupied by powerful people, the people can take the household sticker to the government to complain.
Chen Guan's move can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It not only effectively safeguarded the interests of the people, but also allowed the government to accurately grasp the two important data of the number of people and land area.
After this measure was reported to the imperial court, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but praise it, believing that if the household subsidy system was imitated by Chen Guan and spread throughout the country, it would not only be able to control the number of people in the country, but also effectively suppress the land annexation problem. p>
