Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

"Your Majesty, is it possible to extend the time limit for the Liao land to be divided into two proclamations?" Xu Guangqi bowed to Emperor Chongzhen with a serious expression.

"At present, the situation in Liaozuo is initially determined. Just one evacuation of guards and establishment of a mansion requires a large number of manpower, not to mention the large number of troops stationed in Liaozuo area, which consumes countless food and salaries every day.

Under such circumstances, it is too heavy a burden for the court to add an An Dongcheng to announce the political envoy and dispatch a large number of officials there. "

"My minister agrees."

Wen Tiren, who rushed back to the capital, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "What's more, the suppression of the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River has restricted the energy of the Guochao. Such a large personnel transfer and the dispatch of a large number of troops are also a heavy burden for the Guochao.

Although His Majesty has made it clear that the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River will consume food and salaries to suppress the rebellion, but now the people in the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are in panic, and it is actually very difficult to raise food and salaries for the counter-rebellion through the local government.

At least in my opinion, the allocation of food and salaries in the initial stage of countering the rebellion required direct appropriation from the national treasury and internal funds.

Moreover, during the period of His Majesty's personal conquest, so much food was consumed, whether it was the treasury or the internal money, it was a heavy burden. "

"Your Majesty, think twice."

Zhou Yanru followed closely and said: "Originally Liaodong planned to set up the Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, which caused a lot of controversy between the government and the opposition. After all, the previous Liaodong Capital Division was subordinate to the Shandong Chengxuan Political Envoy Division.

Now there is a Liaodong, but it is unheard of in the country to have two separate proclamations to announce the political envoy.

Once this matter is clarified, I don't know how many official systems will be added, not to mention the bitter cold places like Liaodong. Although there are rich mineral resources, if they want to form a positive taxation system, they need to allocate a large amount of food and salaries to support them.

For Guochao right now, the most important thing is to suppress the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River and ensure the fundamental stability of the country. If this matter is not implemented as soon as possible, then for Guochao..."

Sitting on the dragon chair, Emperor Chongzhen watched the cabinet ministers come forward to remonstrate with a dignified expression. He had different meanings to what Xu Guangqi, Wen Tiren, and Zhou Yanru mentioned.

Xu Guangqi and Bi Ziyan's remonstrance was purely from an objective point of view, and they postponed the establishment of the Chengxuan Political Commissioner. After all, once the matter is confirmed, the imperial court will need to allocate a batch of special rations to ensure the establishment of the Chengxuan Political Commissioner. It runs smoothly.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the imperial court simply cannot afford such a large amount of food and pay. After all, it involves the counter-rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River is more than a thousand miles away from the capital.

At such a long distance, if you want to support the frontline troops to counter the rebellion, there will be a certain loss in the food, grass, and various military supplies that are transferred.

Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru's remonstrance is to confuse the public, and in this way, prevent the further implementation of the reform.

As sophisticated politicians, they know better than anyone else that with the deepening of reforms, their own interests will suffer losses.

Although in the past few years, Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru and the others have clearly supported and implemented the will and intentions of Emperor Chongzhen.

But now it is different.

From their point of view, if they continue to obey like this, there will be no one around them in the future. After all, in the eyes of the conservative forces, the reformation is an unstable factor that disrupts order.

It is just a reduction of privileges and narrowing of privileges, which makes many groups unbearable.

"I summoned the ministers to discuss this matter, not because they emphasized the difficulty. If so, why should I call the ministers into the palace?" Emperor Chongzhen looked around the court with stern eyes, and said loudly.

"The separation of Liao's land into two divisions and the declaration of a political commissioner is a decision, not a matter of discussion. This is something I have already made clear, so there is no need to say anything else to me.

The situation in Liaozuo is initially settled, I know it well.

I know the rebellion and suppression in the south of the Yangtze River.

It is precisely because of the current situation that all matters in the Liao region must be clarified as soon as possible, so that the region can assume its due responsibilities and responsibilities.

Instead of blindly relying on Guochao's support!

If that's the case, it will be a real burden for Guochao. Instead, in my opinion, the recovery of Liaozuo is not worth it! "

Stress difficult?

Who is not difficult! ?

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen wanted to clarify the affairs of the Liao region as soon as possible was because he was promoted by the reform and saw many bad signs, so he wanted to explore a new path for local restructuring through the deepening of reforms in the Liao region.

This matter cannot be delayed.

"These are all the things I found out. Let's just talk about the industrial fields that have been flourishing due to the impact of the reform in recent years."

Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the memorial on the imperial case, and said in a stern tone: "As a group of groups set foot in industries such as smelting, textiles, shipbuilding, building materials, and wine making, a large number of out-of-production groups need to work hard through the industrial field. to earn money to support their families.

But precisely because of this influence, things like wanton exploitation, oppression of laborers, and trampling of the law have gradually emerged in various industrial fields.

what is this?
Another form of exploitation?

What is the purpose of the imperial court's implementation of the New Deal?
Is it just called Sheji Zhongxing?
Yes!
Now under the rule of the northern provinces, affected by the New Deal, they began to prosper, especially the expansion of foreign sea trade, which led to the rapid development of all walks of life.

But has the bottom layer benefited?

not at all!
They are still holding a meager income and living a passable life. Compared with before, they can fill their stomachs, but what else?

Is this the reformation I want?

no! !
There are so many things that Daming needs to change, so many that I feel terrified, for fear that if I slack off a bit, it will lead to a situation where I will lose everything. "

The hall was extremely quiet.

Xu Guangqi, Bi Ziyan, Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru, Huang Liji, and Liu Hongxun did not expect the emperor to tell them these things.

Capital is bloody.

Capital is greedy.

Emperor Chongzhen knew this better than anyone else.

In order to let Ming Dynasty embark on primitive industrialization, Emperor Chongzhen had to make a compromise to ensure that a group of groups could get involved and promote the industrialization process of the northern provinces.

Moreover, in Daming at that time, disasters occurred frequently in various places, and a large number of bankrupt groups had nothing to rely on, and even having a full stomach became a problem.

Therefore, the urgent preparation for the establishment of industrial fields, so that many industrial fields can take root, is the first consideration of Emperor Chongzhen.

But it's different now.

The construction of industrial fields in the northern provinces has begun to take shape, although compared with later generations, it is not worth mentioning.

But compared with that era, Daming is already ahead.

Exporting arms trade to foreign countries, provoking regional wars and conflicts, resolutely supporting foreign maritime trade, etc., through the development of the military industry and the vigorous progress of the navigation industry, to drive the development of other fields, this is what Emperor Chongzhen has been doing.

After all, if there is no demand, there will be no industrial development.

However, due to the imperfection of the system, the internal industrial development has begun to tilt towards a deformed direction. If it cannot be adjusted in time, then Daming will breed a group of plutocrats. Once such a situation occurs, those waiting for Daming will be It is a greater danger.

Plutocrats influence politics.

Plutocrats flout the law.

The chaebol tied up Daming.

Really wait until that day comes, even if Da Ming expands outwards, forming a prosperous and prosperous world on the surface, but there are endless dangers and anger hidden behind the scenes!

Once it erupts, it will be devastating.

"It is necessary to separate the two successors of the Liao land to declare the political envoy." Emperor Chongzhen stood up, looked down at the cabinet ministers, and said loudly.

"Furthermore, after the division of local bureaus in the Liao region, government offices at all levels should be set up separately for judiciary, prison, supervision, taxation and other powers, so as to form effective control from the central government to the local government.

In view of the complexity of this matter, I plan to set up a local government office for restructuring, and try out the restructuring in Liaozhou.

Xu Qing, you are the chief assistant of the cabinet, so you will take the lead in handling this matter. As for Liao, there will be two divisions to declare the political and envoy divisions. During the period, the treasury will provide part of the money and grain, and the internal funds will provide part of it.

This matter has been decided in this way. If there is any situation, report it directly to me. As for other things, just do your job well. I don't want to hear any more objections. "

Daming, the sky is really about to change.

Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru's expressions changed slightly. Looking at the resolute emperor, this was their first thought. From then on, the two divisions of the Liao Dynasty announced that the political and envoy divisions would become the core of the reform.

The officials who were promoted by Jian in Liao must be from the reformers with a clear banner. After all, there were many groups in the past who were dispatched by Emperor Chongzhen to sharpen in Liao.

Now affected by the decentralization and restructuring of the local government, they will be promoted to corresponding positions to shoulder heavier responsibilities and burdens.

New policies such as the allocation of dingding to the mu, the integration of officials and gentry into grain and errands, mining tax, commercial tax, tariff, negotiation tax, and salt tax will be quickly integrated and implemented in the Liao area.

After all, the Liao land in the past was affected by the war, and a large number of vested interest groups were slaughtered. This is like a piece of white land, allowing Emperor Chongzhen to rectify at will without encountering so-called opposition.

Although it is said that due to the influence of the war, the Ming Dynasty lost too much in Liaodong in the past, but now it is also through the war that the Ming Dynasty regained the Liaodong, so the situation is different.

Even Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru were thinking about one thing. When the local reforms in the two provinces of Liao and Liao made a breakthrough, the many new policies clearly implemented would be quickly implemented in the northern provinces.

As long as during this period, Guochao can ensure that the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River is limited to a certain range, and will not affect the fundamental situation of Guochao, then the matter will definitely be carried out.

In the hearts of Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru, a terrible thought even came to mind. Perhaps the rebellion in the Jiangnan provinces had been anticipated earlier this morning, and they have been actively preparing for it. As long as this battle continues, attention will inevitably Concentrate on counterinsurgency, then the pressure for reform will be relatively reduced.

Even during the counter-insurgency period of the country, the reshuffle of some vested interests will affect many groups, and during the war, it will give birth to a prosperous business industry. After all, there are many soldiers in the front-line counter-insurgency, and they want to meet their needs, but A lot of money will be poured in.

Thinking of these, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru felt fear welling up deep in their hearts, and they didn't even know it when they left Dongnuange.

Emperor Chongzhen used such a powerful method to correct Daming step by step, to eliminate the maladministration and cancer. Under this torrent, I don't know how many people will die tragically!
