Prince of Chaos

Chapter 714
Zhu Changluo was a little surprised by Dong Qichang's efficiency.

In Zhu Changluo's thinking, he thought that the six-part reform plan would have to go through at least a few rounds of discussions and suggestions before Dong Qichang could get his finger on the pulse and come up with a reform plan that echoed his own ideas.

However, Zhu Changluo never expected that Dong Qichang's plan this time would be so advanced. He directly copied the management model of Xishan Huangzhuang, oh no, it should be borrowed from it.

Zhu Changluo looked at this eloquent reform plan, and Zhu Changluo couldn't help being pleasantly surprised. It was really unexpected that Dong Qichang had such a talent.

It seems that he underestimated the ancients again.

As a generation of masters, Dong Qichang may have some problems with his personal morality and lack of responsibility, but he is definitely top-notch in terms of ability.

Especially letting Dong Qichang do those retreat jobs made him like a fish in water.

Although the errands of the Military Aircraft Department are mainly practical, but at this stage, as a strong monarch, Zhu Changluo does not need strong ministers, what he wants is weak ministers who can obey his orders.

Only such a subject can greatly implement his will.

If you encounter a powerful and famous official like Zhang Juzheng as a subject, if the world is in a state of peace, Zhu Changluo will come to a set of routines of the emperor's bow and rule, and entrust the political affairs to others.

It's a pity that the current situation is not at all the tranquility and peace in the past historical process. Under the superficial prosperity, there are actually turbulent undercurrents.

Therefore, as a person determined to change the times, what Zhu Changluo has to do is to centralize power, and it is an unprecedented centralization!
Only by concentrating all the power on himself, can he better exert the potential of the huge state apparatus of Ming Dynasty, otherwise, all his efforts will be short-lived!
"I think this plan is possible, but we still need to refine the details. The division of powers and responsibilities of some newly established departments should be as clear as possible, and should not be too ambiguous. Otherwise, it will form a lazy government of excessive management and mutual football. negligence."

"The focus of the military aircraft department should not have too much interference with local affairs. The military aircraft department should focus on the military and key industries related to the lifeline of the imperial court, such as the old-fashioned salt, iron and tea. These military aircraft departments can focus on it, but some Either way, let it go or let it go.”

"After all, the cabinet is the center for handling government affairs that govern the world. Therefore, as for local governance and planning, the cabinet should still be in charge of it."

"In addition, there are issues of supervision and justice that must be listed separately. In addition to the responsibility of the Military Aircraft Department to monitor the internal affairs of the Daming Army, the local supervision must not interfere. Of course, the cabinet cannot intervene either. The power in this area must be handed over. Give it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to drive."

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate can set up a joint temporary organization with the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple and other departments in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Prison to balance the responsibility of the criminal law in the world. This part must be independent and cannot be affected by the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department."

"Otherwise, all reforms can only be nothing but empty talk. Thinking this way alone is not the loyalty of the others, but the greed deep in the hearts of the people."

"Therefore, supervision and justice must be listed separately. At the same time, Gu will also put the patriarchal clan that governs the clan in the clan mansion under supervision, so that the royal family commits the same crime as the common people!"

"I can't tolerate them any longer. It has been nearly 250 years since Emperor Taizu Gao. Looking at the ancient and modern dynasties that can last for 300 years, it is really rare!"

"The former Yuan Guozuo was less than a hundred years old. Although there were [-] Guozuo in the Zhao Song Dynasty before the Qianyuan Dynasty, how did these [-] Guozuo come from? I will not go into details."

"So, even though the Ming Dynasty has been rejuvenated at this moment, Gu, as the prince of the supervisory country, and Qing, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, must have a sense of crisis in times of peace."

"I don't want the Ming dynasty to last forever, but at least Daming can't go downhill in the hands of the lonely! Therefore, the supervision and judiciary must be independent, and the supervision and judiciary independent of the administration will also ensure the future of the Ming dynasty. Important help!"

"I want people all over the world to see Da Ming's public spirit, and I want to give people all over the world fairness, so that they can recognize and support Da Ming from the bottom of their hearts!"

Zhu Changluo picked up the teacup at hand, and at the same time put the six-part restructuring plan handed over by Dong Qichang on the imperial case.

Now Zhu Changluo has gone to work in the Qianqing Palace. The palace of the Qianqing Palace is more solemn and luxurious than the main hall of the Ciqing Palace, and at the same time it looks more spacious and tall.

The aura of the king here is also more imposing than in the original Ciqing Palace. Zhu Changluo sat on the throne in this hall, and he instantly looked like a master!

As noble as the real Son of Heaven!
After listening to Zhu Changluo's words, Dong Qichang knelt down and said, "Your Highness's sacred heart is lofty, and I'm not in case."

After Zhu Changluo drank some water to moisten his throat, his voice was also deliberately lowered. Zhu Changluo smiled and said, "It's just a feeling of being in a high position for a long time. It involves changes in the framework of the imperial court, and it also involves the division of powers and responsibilities."

"The six-part system has existed for more than a thousand years. Gu knows that this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. However, time does not wait for Gu, nor does it wait for Daming. Although Daming looks like a prosperous age today, its affairs are more complicated than those of previous generations. "

"Simply relying on the six ministries, the cabinet, and the Military Aircraft Department to assist Gu's governance is still somewhat powerless. Therefore, on this basis, Gu must worry about the worries of the world, think about the thoughts of the world, and put all Issues should be considered ahead.”

"It's not that I don't believe in the successor, nor does I believe in the talents of the people who come later. I just don't want future generations to be restricted by the 'ancestral system' when doing things. Therefore, I must do these things. I must We must dare to be the first in the world and make a head start to adapt to changes for future generations."

"The "Book of Changes" has a saying: "If you are poor, you will change, if you change, you will be successful, and if you are successful, you will last long. Zhou has been able to win the country for [-] years, and its meaning lies in these nine words. Zhou changed the commercial system and the patriarchal system, making the world nine states Of the seventy countries, those with the surname Ji will win the country at fifty!"

"It is precisely because of the country with the surname of fifty Ji that the royal family of Ji Zhou has been guaranteed a long and long state that has not been easy for 800 years. What Gu is going to do now is not the old thing about Ji Zhou's feudalism. But the meaning is the same , what I have to do is to change the ancient law and practice the law of the present."

"I hope that this head that I have opened can set an example for future generations. When they also think that the law of this world is no longer suitable for the future world, they can also change accordingly, instead of sticking to the old rules and sinking into history become a pity in the long river."

To Dong Qichang's ears, what Zhu Changluo said was earth-shattering!
Throughout the ages, there have been many sage kings and wise masters, although they are modest in their mouths, but they are all extremely conceited, and there is no one who does not think that the law they set up is the law of all ages.

However, Zhu Changluo now said something about how to let future generations change themselves, which directly overturned Dong Qichang's cognition.

But it was precisely because of this that Dong Qichang was even more excited, because he felt that the sacred heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince surpassed the past and the present, and was incomparable.

If there is no such sacred heart, then how to explain His Highness the Crown Prince brought Daming back to its peak in just 20 years?

The current Daming is not only stable on the nine sides, but even the capital, which has been relying on water transportation for 200 years to maintain its livelihood, has become self-sufficient.

All the hidden households in the 24 counties of the capital were counted, and the land was measured again. The people who got the land could not only grow their own land safely, but also go to Xishanhuangzhuang and Tianjinwei to find new livelihoods in their spare time.

It can be said that the current capital is already a veritable place of the first good, and has completed the real sense of living and working in peace and contentment!

Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince's benevolent government does not stop there. His Highness the Crown Prince has also built a large number of residential houses in Xishanhuangzhuang and Tianjinwei. He made great efforts to settle down in the capital.

Of course, these houses are a bit of a problem in Dong Qichang's view, because these houses are actually subject to taxation. In addition to paying some negligible property management fees, the people who buy these houses have to pay according to the house value released by the capital every year. A tax of about one percent of the total value.

This tax seems to be very unreasonable in the eyes of Dong Qichang and others, but it is also part of the crown prince's new policy.

According to the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, taxes are the basis for the stability of the court, and a court without taxes is weak and unable to do any major things.

Of course, taxes are also taken from the people and used by the people, not for the enjoyment of ordinary people. The court wants to use taxes to balance the wealth of the people in the world!Thus making the prosperity last longer.

Therefore, even though there were some voices of opposition, the crown prince still insisted on it!

After all, houses in the Ming Dynasty were not 70-year property rights, but permanent real estate. If the imperial court did not collect some taxes as the daily operating expenses of the imperial court, then when the land was merged into the hands of big households, Zhu Changluo would not be able to play a game to beat the local tyrants. Field play, right?
Moreover, in name, the emperor is the biggest landlord, so it is a reasonable demand as a big landlord to collect some land rent, but if he directly grabs the meat in other people's bowls, then it is not a reasonable demand.

In this way, there is no choice but to rebel!

It's a pity that Zhu Changluo's identity and status are destined to see that Zhu Changluo will never rebel in his life, and Zhu Changluo will do his best to prevent others from rebelling.

And this is reality!

Therefore, Zhu Changluo must face the reality and solve the tax problem in a realistic way.

The property tax is one of them.

Of course, this tax was not created by Zhu Changluo. It was a tax that Zhu Changluo borrowed from a beautiful country before he traveled.

As for why Zhu Changluo didn't learn from the real estate tax of the later celestial dynasties, the reason is actually very simple, because the tax of the celestial dynasty is not much different from the tax of the Ming Dynasty, and the country's dignity is supported by collecting money from the poor.

If, following the way of the later celestial dynasties, let alone how the poor will react, the 70-year property rights restriction will cause countless rich people to rise up!

Zhu Changluo couldn't take such a risk, so he could only compromise and play with the property tax of the beautiful country.

Of course, at present, this tax is only limited to the capital, and it has not been implemented in places other than the capital.

The reason why it has not been implemented outside the capital is also very simple. The places outside the capital are still based on the traditional small-scale peasant economy. There is no such a complete industrialization system as the capital, and there are not enough full-time citizens to support the city.

Therefore, the places outside the capital still maintain the original unchanged form.

However, this kind of invariance is not really invariable. When the power of the capital's industrialization begins to radiate the entire Ming Dynasty, then this form may be naturally implemented in the vast land of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, if you want to be a qualified reformer, you must start from reality. Even if there are some policies that look good, as an actual ruler, you can only consider the reality. do it among.

Once an overly advanced plan is implemented in the real world that has not yet been realized, even a good policy will bring disastrous consequences. Therefore, Zhu Changluo can only follow the most basic social development logic to formulate Come up with your own policy logic to change Daming step by step.

Instead of imitating Wang Mang and getting on the horse as soon as he slapped his head, the new dynasty collapsed amidst the waves of opposition before it could realize the rule of three generations in Wang Mang's heart!

Zhu Changluo didn't want to be Wang Mang, so he could only be patient and experiment with his own ideas and policies within the range where his strength could be fully stretched.

Moreover, the current facts also prove Zhu Changluo's choice. Within Zhu Changluo's range of strength, whether it is the capital or the Nine Sides, they are all changing according to Zhu Changluo's will.

These changes not only brought new vitality to Daming, but also became the basis for Zhu Changluo's next reform.

The model of the capital and the changes in the Nine Sides all stimulate people in other parts of Daming all the time, although these people are still firmly agrarian conservatives.

However, these people have absolutely no enmity with Yinzi.

When they can earn more benefits, they can properly give up some of their principles and make some automatic or passive changes.

Among them, the most notable ones are Beizhili, which is the closest to the capital, and the prefectures and counties in the north of Shandong. These places are most stimulated by the changes in the capital.

In particular, Zhu Changluo's policy of opening Liaodong made many people in Shandong travel thousands of miles away from their hometowns to Liaodong, which made Shandong and Northern Zhili and other places have a deeper understanding of the prosperity of the capital.

Some magistrates and county magistrates with relatively bright minds have now begun to cautiously try some methods of the capital.

Zhu Changluo is also happy to see the success of this. Of course, Zhu Changluo did not show support or opposition to this matter. Zhu Changluo looked at the operations of these prefects and county magistrates with a laissez-faire attitude.

Some prefects and county magistrates Zhu Changluo with outstanding abilities will also focus on one or two. Therefore, in such a big environment, some people's promotion speed will naturally exceed that of their peers, and they will enter the fast lane of promotion. Supplemented in Zhu Changluo's new system.

It can be said that it was these actual changes and the transformation of strengths that stimulated the officials around the capital, making the thinking and thinking of these officials very different from those of officials in other places in Ming Dynasty.

And these officials who have been subtly influenced will also be the human base for Zhu Changluo to start the national reform in the future.

After all, Daming is so big, it is unrealistic to expect Zhu Changluo and those people in the court to govern it.

When it comes to local affairs, it still requires the efforts of grassroots bureaucrats.

Otherwise, how could such a large country easily complete the change?
"How does Your Highness plan to change?"

Dong Qichang knelt on the ground carefully and lowered his head and asked.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Changluo's mouth, and he said four words: "Advance with the times!"

Zhu Changluo's four words were like Huang Zhong Dalu, and they immediately roared in Dong Qichang's mind.

Although these four words are simple, they have profound meaning!
Moreover, there is a sense of truth from the avenue to simplicity, so that people can understand the truth at a glance.

Dong Qichang knelt down in admiration, "Your Highness is wise!"

Zhu Changluo said with a smile: "Okay, no more flattering, go back and find Yu Jideng, Liu Pinru and others to discuss this six-part restructuring plan together. After the three of you agree, submit it to Gu for review."

Dong Qichang bowed: "Yes, I obey the order."

Then Zhu Changluo passed the plan on the imperial case to Sun Xian, and Sun Xian took the plan and handed it to Dong Qichang.

After Dong Qichang took over the proposal, he bowed down again and left Qianqing Palace.

After Dong Qichang left, Zhu Changluo looked at Sun Xian and said, "Do you think Gu has forgotten you this time?"

Sun Xian hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your servant dare not."

Zhu Changluo looked at Sun Xian, and said: "The functions of the Supervisor of Rituals and the East Factory change with the change of the imperial power. You may not be as good as before here in Gu, but your importance is stronger than before!"

"It turns out that you did the dirty work that everyone shouted and beat, and the people in the world didn't think much of you. But this time is different. From now on, all the dirty work will be handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Anti-Corruption Agency." , the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple. So, in the future, you will be the cleanest and most reliable people around you."

"Of course, if you are left vacant in this way, Gu will feel it is a waste. So, from now on, you will start to turn from light to darkness, and continue to be responsible for monitoring any movements of the world's officials and countries other than Ming Dynasty."

"If there is any disturbance, you can still have the right to deal with it first, but not every one of you has this power. It must be available to reliable people."

"So from now on, you and Wei Zhongxian will work together to change the image of Shadow Guard and Dongchang, clear out some dirty people who have damaged the face of the royal family, and leave elite talents behind. From now on, your people will be called agents!"

"Agents, as the name suggests, are people with special skills and special jobs. You can recruit these people from the military or civilians. The identity information of all recruited agents must be treated top-secret. Once there are agents who reveal their identities and leak secrets, Deal with it internally. I don’t want agents to become synonymous with notoriety again, can you understand this?”

Zhu Changluo's PUA operation moved Sun Xian again.

Sun Xian burst into tears of excitement. His Royal Highness still trusts us the most. He left us the most important errand. Although, he can no longer be as ostentatious and show off in the world as before.

But our existence has become more important, more indispensable.

Sun Xian's brain supplement has elevated his importance to an unprecedented height.This is completely the psychological expression of self-strategy after being PUA.

"The slave must follow His Highness's will, train the best agents for His Highness, and spy out the most real information in the world for His Highness!"

Zhu Changluo hummed lightly, "Go and prepare for the first task. Gu and the emperor are going to tour Nanjing. Before going to Nanjing, Gu wants the most detailed information about Nanjing."

Sun Xian was overjoyed, and excitedly replied: "Yes!"
