Emperor Ming Dynasty

Shaowu New Deal, this is a summary of the emperor's series of political measures by the Six Departments of the Cabinet. As executors and participants, they must shout slogans to unite people's hearts.

Politically, continue to implement the policy of strong stems and weak branches.

For example, the provinces were merged and split, the governor was the head of a province, commercial taxes were collected on a large scale, the commercial tax department was decentralized, miscellaneous taxes were reduced, tax revenue was shared, and the judiciary was newly established and divided.

In the military, guards were abolished, military households were liberated, local patrol battalions were organized, and border troops were rectified.

In terms of the clan, the salary was greatly reduced, and the hereditary sequence was used to reduce the pressure on the court as much as possible.

Compared with the ancestral system, this series of measures can be described as earth-shaking.

If the cabinet is still there, the official system is still there, and the emperor's surname is Zhu, they seem to have come to the new dynasty.

"Jianhu Qimin must continue."

Zhao Shu frowned: "Sichuan is now moving to Henan, and Hunan is moving to Hubei. These two migrations are still going on, and there will be migrations to Shaanxi, Gansu, Suiyuan and other provinces, especially Liaodong. At least one million people will be migrated from Shandong. "

"If you can't control their household registration, how can migration be so convenient?"

"The person who made the Yellow Book?" Zhang Shenyan asked.

"It is necessary to read and write, not to be afraid of hardships and dangers, tens of thousands of people are needed in a province..."

"Just stick to the old things." Zhao Shu said calmly.

Yan Chongxin added with a smile: "In the past in Huguang, the shogunate recruited monks and Taoists to go to various prefectures and counties."

"The county government sent people to investigate around the temples and Taoist temples. It was extremely commotion at the time. Within half a year, the household registrations of the various prefectures in Hubei were clear."

Zhang Shenyan suddenly realized that this happened before he went to the shogunate.

"Back then, the Taizu used the Guozijian to study thousands of people and spread it all over the world for several years. Only then did the yellow books be compiled, which not only benefited the country, but also trained talents."

"It just so happens that we work together to kill two birds with one stone."

Zhang Shenyan suggested.

"That's right, there are more than a hundred thousand people in the world? I think a million is also possible."

Lu Daqi was overjoyed, and said excitedly: "Looking at it this way, it only takes three to five years to register as a household in the whole country."

"Although Bodhisattvas don't talk about money, monks still want it."

Yan Chongxin sighed: "It is still possible to guide them with benefits, otherwise they will not be dedicated."

"Profit? Where did you get so much profit?" Lu Daqi said displeased, "From my point of view, it is enough to confer a few more mages, and the benefits are not costly."

As the chief assistant, Zhao Shu fell into deep thought.

Without interests, people will not be dedicated, and it is meaningless to drive them.

No matter what you do, you still have to oppress it!

It has always been a big project to make households Qimin.

Even in later generations, when information consultation is extremely developed, it still takes a lot of human and material resources from across the country, and millions of people work hard for more than half a year to get it all together.

In today's era, the real census was only conducted in the early Ming Dynasty.The “Household Tie” of the Ming Dynasty is considered by Western statistical historians to be the earliest census in the world.

Due to being busy fighting wars these years, the registered household Qimin naturally fell behind and did not have the energy to do it.

Moreover, this moment, that moment.

After the establishment of the Shaowu regime, the emperor directly abolished the Ding tax, which is the population tax.

Since there is no need to collect taxes, the statistics of the population are naturally useless. If it is not necessary to serve corvee, the local officials really have no idea about the population.

The abolition of the small tax directly liberated the population, and a large number of hidden mountain dwellers went down in an endless stream and became private households.

Similarly, the abolition of lowly households also allowed many people to gain new lives and be included in the registered households.

In addition, a large number of miscellaneous taxes and showdowns have been abolished. In rural areas, land taxes have become the only taxation. I don’t know how much pressure has been relieved on the people.

After all, since ancient times, the regular tax has always been the lowest, but apportionment and miscellaneous taxes are the most crushing.

And why did the emperor like to collect business taxes?

That's because the cost is low. Either set up a checkpoint, or go door-to-door in the county, and just relying on government officials is enough.

Back to the beginning, although the registered household Qimin is costly, it has to be done, and the temporary stagnation is just a stopgap measure.

Monks and Taoists must be driven.

Zhao Shu hurriedly begged to see the emperor.

After waiting for a while, the emperor came slowly: "What's the matter, Zhao Qing?"

"The minister's thinking lies in the establishment of households."

Zhao Shu quickly mentioned the discussion just now, especially the use of monks and Guozijian students, these cheap laborers are not in vain.

"Oh? Did you forget?"

Zhu Yixi suddenly thought of something, and said directly: "I also built a martial arts hall in Yuquan Mountain, where hundreds of people are training and studying, and they can also join it."

"Although Liaodong is under military control now, it won't work in the long run."

"Tell the supervisors that they can be awarded the post of county magistrate if they are able to work well, but don't tell them that they are in Liaodong."

Zhao Shu was taken aback for a moment, the emperor still had a dark heart.

On the front line in Liaodong, no one went to appoint officials. While you are making people work hard, you are looking for officials for Liaodong.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"The sage is wise." Zhao Shu praised and said what he thought:
"Although monks are outsiders, they cannot leave the secular world, and they must be lured."

"The imperial court can send soldiers and horses to directly survey the temple fields. A large number of temple fields will inevitably appear. If they want to keep the temple property at that time, they must use all their strength..."

Zhu Yixi was startled: "The first assistant has a good opinion."

If you want to talk about blackness, it has to be you!

At least I got a county magistrate to hang in front of me, but you are better off threatening him with his stuff, and you still have to obey.

"The veterans only think that these temple properties are nothing more than people taking shelter under the temple to avoid exorbitant taxes. Over time, they become temple properties."

Zhao Shu remained expressionless, and continued, "Besides, under the chaos of war and chaos in the past, many thieves and bandits hid in temples, and they were still happy and at ease."

"Finally, since the slave rebellion, local laws and regulations have been abolished, and many monks and Taoists have recruited disciples indiscriminately, and there are many people who do not have a degree."

"The imperial court can first search the temple to arrest people, search for those who have no records, and then search for land deeds and temple properties. Under heavy pressure, they will definitely succumb and be used by the imperial court. They will do their best to atone for their previous crimes."

Under the triple pressure, which temple dare not yield?
Not to mention [-]%, at least [-]% of the temples cannot be avoided and can only be driven by others.

"For those temples that hide too much filth, there is no need to drive them, just pull them out."

The emperor said suddenly, with an indignant tone: "Don't serve the corvee, don't pay taxes, and break the law and discipline. Such people are not worthy of being monks."

"The money is collected by the court and the land is distributed to the people. It is very good."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Then, let's start with Hebei Province! It is necessary to start its defense of Beijing."

The emperor thought in his heart, while registering households, he checked the officialdom at the same time, without delay.
