Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 296 Promoting the Peasant Association (First Change)
In a specific era, an advanced system is not necessarily a good system, and measures must be adapted to local conditions.

Regarding the grain chief system proposed by Chen Ang, He Jinzhao directly called his three staff officers to discuss it together, but he didn't understand it.

"My lord, the establishment of the head of grain is mainly to ensure the most important source of wealth of Ming Dynasty: land tax, so as to consolidate Zhu Ming's rule."

Military advisor Ji Gui spoke first: "The main reason is to guard against encroachment by officials and Xu."

"But I don't think I can guard against corruption and bribery."

He Jinzhao fanned his palm-leaf fan, and almost never went to war in summer.

Even if it is training soldiers, it is cooler in the morning and evening.

Even for the summer harvest, He Jinzhao gave many soldiers a holiday to go to his own fields to see the harvest.

"If the lord wins the world in the future, he will become the biggest landlord in the world, and so will the soldiers who have made meritorious deeds under his command."

Qiu Zhitao recently married his wife under the auspices of He Jinchao, and he dared to speak more and more.

Anyway, my lord is a rebel leader, and he doesn't taboo meat and vegetables, so he doesn't need to be as careful as Ming Ting, so as not to fall into party disputes.

The hero will never allow his subordinates to be punished for their words.

He Jinzhao pointed at him with a cattail fan and said:

"Officer Qiu said well, we must avoid this kind of situation from happening in the future.

I intend to set a rule that meritorious service officers and soldiers can be rewarded with land, up to a hundred acres, and then other rewards.

If there are many brothers with the same surname in the same village, the family must be separated, otherwise it is easy to cause greater chaos and influence in the village and town. "

For example, the prince of Ming Dynasty rewarded from [-] to [-] mu, and the princes and officials rewarded hundreds of mu to tens of thousands of mu.

They didn't expect to give He Jinzhao a hundred acres of land!

"My lord, the matter of rewarding the fields and acres is entirely up to the lord, but this matter of the same surname may be the case."

He Jinzhao waved his hand: "In the future, it is best not to have Wanjiazhai and Chenjiaying, the local power is too strong and it is easy to resist the government.

What's more, the future land will not only have this point, they are guaranteed to be willing to move away. "

Regarding Wanjiazhai, first of all, He Jinzhao couldn't slaughter the village at will, and he would have to hang around in Northwest Shanxi in the future!

Just wait for the summer harvest and pay the grain to punish my heart!

"My lord, you must never re-appoint a head of grain." Yang Yuxiu, who has always been a servant, is well aware of the harm:

"The land tax of the Ming Dynasty is divided into two parts: the summer tax (wheat) and the autumn grain (rice). The grain chief's first task is to collect autumn grain.

Expropriation is divided into three main procedures: collection, collection, and transportation. At the beginning, collection was the easiest, and the rare thing was transportation.

After the grain storage is changed to military transportation, the collection will be the most important. "

Seeing He Jinzhao, Yang Yuxiu motioned for him to continue:
"My lord, at the beginning, there are three procedures for grain chiefs, but later on, when the division of labor begins, the grain chiefs are divided into chief and deputy, big and small.

The names became more and more cumbersome, and the number of people increased even more, but the tasks of the court became more and more difficult to complete.

It is also necessary to recruit food husbands, and there are more maneuverability in who is allowed to go and who is not allowed to go. "

Qiu Zhitao also filled in the words: "My lord, when I was sorting out the documents, I remembered a record.

During the Zhengde period, Suzhou alone owed the imperial court 800 million shi of grain and grass, but because the imperial court did not build a granary, all these grains fell into the hands of the grain chief. "

Yang Yuxiu also knew that He Jinzhao didn't know the way, so he opened it and said:

"My lord, the head of grain went to the countryside to urge the conscripts, which violated the authority of the head of the village and the head of Jia.

Moreover, the Ming government only pursues the head of the grain, not the head of the village and the people who owed the grain.

In addition, during the Hongwu period, the food chief could report directly to the emperor, and moved to Beijing in Yongle.

The grain chief can only report to the household department, and the household department will not take the grain chief as a person. Naturally, no one is willing to do this job.

If they are favored by the emperor, they can still become officials directly. Since this way was cut off, they can only run wild in the countryside.

Anyone who fails to pay food or wants to embarrass others can be detained and interrogated arbitrarily, and willfully violate local laws.

That's why it will be the turn of small households with no money and power to become grain growers in the later stage. In this way, Daming will not be able to collect grain even more. "

As for the governance of a county, He Jinzhao naturally had to listen to Yang Yuxiu's opinion, who had a lot of work experience.

It seems that the history of Liangchang is going backwards, and I am afraid that he will not be able to open it.

He Jinzhao patted Yang Yuxiu on the shoulder:

"You are the next Li Shanchang, as long as you don't follow his back path, I will guarantee your wealth."

"I am frightened."

Yang Yuxiu bowed immediately, no one knew what would happen to Li Shanchang.

But Li Shanchang is also a role model for small officials like them!
"There's no need for that."

He Jinzhao stood in the hall and walked around a few times. In fact, he thought about military control.

Anyway, there are too few talents to govern the place under his command, so it is better to use military management to transition.

Let the ordinary big soldiers act as the chiefs, and urge them to farm, collect grain, and pay taxes.

But in this way, the soldiers had to be dispersed, and the East Chamber City was under construction.

I am afraid that not many people are willing to leave and live in the village.

Soldiers today don't have the same thinking as soldiers in the liberation period, so the matter of military management flashed through He Jinzhao's mind.

In the vast rural areas, we still have to rely on farmers.

He Jinzhao walked up and down, thinking for a while:
"Peasant associations must be promoted. With so many farmers, every village, town, and township must elect a village head, town head, and township head."

"My lord, there are now six towns, six townships, and 82 villages under our rule alone."

"Then first elect 82 village chiefs, six township chiefs and town chiefs.

For the time being, our people will be the chiefs of the 82 villages. Whoever does a good job will be promoted to the mayor of the town. "

Ji Gui responded: "My lord, will this matter be carried out after the summer harvest?"

"That's right, those who join the peasant association, from the age of 15, regardless of gender, are eligible to elect village chiefs and be elected."

Dang Shousu, who had been following He Jinzhao, immediately said, "Captain, is this the same as we did in Ganquan County?"

"If this is the case, it will be considered passed if more than two-thirds of the votes are cast.

Whoever has the most votes can be elected as the village head and two deputy village heads to form a three-person group.

If the village head has something unfair, people from the peasant association can report it to the mayor of the town, and the mayor will investigate whether it is true. "

He Jinzhao made another request, and everyone in the staff team was shocked.

The village head is not directly appointed, but elected?

Yang Yuxiu was not too surprised by He Jinzhao's shocking strategy of governing the people.

"My lord, what should I do if someone connects in private?"

"I'm not opposed to canvassing votes. The term is held every three years. If you do well, you can be promoted. If you don't do well, you will have to step aside.

But if it is found that someone has used money and food, and it is confirmed, then stop doing it and you will be punished. You have to specify a simple regulation.

The same is true for village chiefs, town chiefs, and township chiefs. In the future, the practice of not going to the countryside with imperial power will be completely changed. "

It was only then that the three of them understood He Jinzhao's real intention, no matter what, they wanted to make his future regime act as if they were instructing him.
