At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 206 Abolition of household stickers
Everyone at the scene was stunned. The appearance of the word Jin Yiwei is often accompanied by blood and killing.

What's more, in the recent period of time, Jiangnan's treason case and smuggling case have been raging, and Jin Yiwei has arrested people everywhere, which has added fuel to the flames of his poor reputation.

Why didn't they know when these gods of death came to Yu County?
What's even more chilling is that the commander came in person?

what's the situation……

Kong Zhiping was even more puzzled, and asked, "Where to...?"

Yuan Bin put away the smile on his face, and slowly uttered two words: "Zhao prison!"

Hearing this, Kong Zhiping's old face lost all color in an instant, and hurriedly shouted: "I am a retainer of Yanshenggong's mansion, so what about Jin Yiwei, who can manage the affairs of Yanshenggong's mansion?"

Yuan Bin said indifferently: "Since Yanshenggong Mansion can manage Yu County, why can't Jin Yiwei manage Yanshenggong Mansion?"

"You...that's an unreasonable word!"

Kong Zhiping immediately put on a condescending expression and started his performance.

"In the tenth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu issued a decree that Duke Yansheng had the right to set up an official office, and he could intervene in matters of enlightenment in the world. Now that Yu County is not familiar with enlightenment, Duke Yansheng's mansion will naturally not sit idly by and set an example for scholars all over the world. also!"

"Example, right?"

Yuan Bin didn't want to talk nonsense with 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 sage, how dare you wait?"

"Under the saint's door, how could you teach a dog like you, take it away!"

Immediately, two school captains stepped forward, and Kong Zhiping hurriedly shouted: "If you don't respect saints and sages, aren't you afraid of being cast aside by scholars all over the world?"

"I bother!"

Yuan Bin snorted disdainfully, and scolded: "Is this someone who cares about reputation? You don't go out to inquire. Those thousands of officials and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, including 10,000+ family members, who arrested them? Those who scold Jinyiwei If there are too many, how old is your mother?"

Immediately, he couldn't help but say, he got the person up and left.

From Jin Yiwei entering the door to arresting the person, the whole process took only a cup of tea. The county magistrate Cui Shirui stood aside, in a state of stunned the whole process.

who am I?
where am I?
What happened?

Yuan Bin went straight to the gate, only to think of something, turned around and waved at Cui Shirui.

Cui Shirui didn't dare to neglect, and hurried forward.

"What orders does Commander Yuan have?"

Yuan Bin said: "Are you Cui Shirui, the county magistrate?"

"The next official is right!"

"Your Shangzhi County has been promoted, and the documents will arrive in a few days. There is no conclusion yet about the new magistrate of Yu County. Shang Ren once recommended you to the emperor, but..."

Having said that, Yuan Bin shook his head, his face full of disappointment.

Cui Shirui's expression froze, and he suddenly realized something.

In the past year in Yu County, Shang Lu has implemented the New Deal in an all-round way, which can be said to be full of difficulties.

Since he was promoted, it means that the emperor is very satisfied with the new policies of Yu County.

Reminiscent of the fact that the Confucian family in Qufu, Shandong had just arrived, and Jin Yiwei followed, and things seemed to be very clear.

What the emperor wants is a new deal, not some Yan Shenggong!

And his performance just now...

Thinking of this, he came to his senses and said: "Commander Yuan, please rest assured, and please rest assured that the emperor, the new policy in Yu County is a measure that benefits the country and the people. Unless the emperor personally decrees, no one will think about the new policy. !"

Seeing this, Yuan Bin's complexion improved a little, and he said, "The next magistrate of Yu County will be decided in about a year. Jin Yiwei shouldn't worry about this kind of thing, so let's just say this and leave the rest to you." grasp!"

"Commander Yuan, please be honored by the officer!"

The expression on Cui Shirui's face suddenly became solemn, and he took a step back, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply.

Yuan Bin nodded, turned and left without saying anything.

Now that Jin Yiwei has shown up, he is not afraid of showing off. Therefore, Yuan Bin escorted Kong Zhiping and his party in a very high-profile manner, leaving Yu County and heading for Beijing.

Zhu Qizhen changed into a school captain's soap uniform and followed in the team, while Yu Qian stayed in Yu County in plain clothes.

What he has to do now is to thoroughly understand the new policies that Yu County has implemented over the past year, and then spread the successful experience to the world.

But Zhu Qizhen couldn't stay any longer, because the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and he wanted to go home for the Chinese New Year.

Wife and son are still waiting at home!
The south of the Yangtze River has been turned upside down. Taking advantage of Wenchen Group's vitality, it is a good time to implement the New Deal across the country.

It is about 500 miles from Yu County to the capital. In the past, it took at least ten days to cross the mountains and mountains. However, since Shang Ren took office, the first thing he did was to use the power of the whole county to build roads. Now he is walking on the newly built road. Two or three days are enough.

If you are in a hurry, a fast horse like Liubaili Express can arrive in one day.

Three days later, Zhu Qiyu was reviewing memorials in the Wenhua Palace, when news suddenly came that the emperor had returned.

He was taken aback for a moment, why didn't there be any news before the emperor returned to Beijing?

Doubts are doubts, he knew that now is not the time to worry about these things, so he hurried out.

When he saw that Zhu Qizhen was wearing a soap suit, just like a captain in Jinyiwei, he was taken aback again.

"Your brother kowtows to the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at him and smiled, and said: "Get up, my brother has worked hard during the time I went to Nanjing!"

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly replied: "This is the duty of my younger brother!"

"Come on, come with me to the study!"

Zhu Qizhen doesn't like to go to Fengtian Hall, unless there is some important national event, there is a meeting or something, because he thinks Fengtian Hall is too formal, and the officials are in the hall, they have to be careful when speaking and doing things, thinking about a sentence for a long time, I'm afraid that if I say something wrong, it will cause trouble.

Therefore, he usually stayed in the Imperial Study Room, where he summoned the ministers, and he seemed more cordial, making people feel less restrained.

Eunuch Wynn was also very excited when he saw the emperor's return, so he hurriedly made a pot of tea.

Seeing him, Zhu Qizhen subconsciously asked, "It's you, where is Jin Ying?"

Wynn said dully: "Eunuch Jin... went to sea..."

"Going to sea, when did it happen?"

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 putting so many eunuchs in the palace was really a waste of human resources.

Although there are only 1 rooms in the palace, it stands to reason that there are at most [-] eunuchs and court ladies. However, the number of eunuchs and court ladies who can live in the palace is only a small part.

Especially eunuchs, most of them don't live in the palace, only some who have status or need to be on duty will enter the palace, and the rest of the time, they live outside the palace.

When they are not on duty, they are just like ordinary people, and even some eunuchs' residences are more magnificent than officials and gentry.

When Wang Zhen's property was searched, there were more than a dozen mansions alone.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the roster of eunuchs at present, and there were more than 5 people. This huge number made him very troubled. The Ming Dynasty is about to usher in a new era, and the most scarce thing is human resources.

Simply, arrange for them to go out to sea with the fleet!
Wouldn't it be good to follow the example of Zheng He back then and go out and be a Pirate King?
However, when I went to Nanjing during this time, I was busy fighting against the rebels every day, arresting people and killing people, so I forgot about Kaihai, and I don’t know what’s going on now.

Zhu Qiyu looked a little strange, and said: "About the voyage to the West, my brother sent a memorial to the emperor..."

"Sorry, I'm really busy!"

With a slight apology on Zhu Qizhen's face, he said, "I haven't had time to look at your memorials carefully, so tell me, how far has it progressed?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded, and said: "Before the emperor left Beijing, Qin Tianjian Peng Qing and Tang Xiaozhong of the Cultural History Museum held their own opinions, and there was no conclusion on the issue of the sea chart. After Wu Canghai and others identified it, the sea chart of the Literature and History Museum was indeed There are a lot of mistakes."

"It seems that there was a problem when the people from the Cultural and History Museum copied it!"

"However, Tang Xiaozhong refused to admit it, and insisted that there was no problem with the nautical charts he had collected. After discussing with the cabinet, the ministers and the cabinet agreed that it is better to send two small-scale fleets to take the lead while the treasure ship for sailing to the west is still under construction. According to the two charts, respectively, to confirm which channel is feasible, one is led by Peng Qing, and the other is led by Tang Xiaozhong."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "This is also a solution. When did you start?"

Zhu Qiyu replied: "About a month ago, the Jin Ying mentioned by the emperor was on Tang Xiaozhong's fleet."

Zhu Qizhen frowned and said, "He chose it himself?"

"Yes!"

"What about Peng Qing's boat, is there someone accompanying him?"

"Most of the people arranged by the imperial court followed Tang Xiaozhong's boat, 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 a lot.

"When will the other treasure ships be built?"

"Chendi specifically asked the shipyard that after the treasure ship is built, it will take three to four years to dry it in the shade. This time can be compressed several times, and it only takes about ten months to go into the water. The younger brother has arranged for someone to set up a drying field, and try to dry it with smoke. If everything goes well, we can set sail before October next year."

Zhu Qizhen nodded, compressing three years into ten months was not easy.

It's easy to say the words "voyage to the west", but the preparatory work requires the support of the whole country, especially the treasure ship. If the quality is not up to standard, it will fall apart halfway, and how much manpower and material resources will be lost!
This drying method is feasible, it depends on the technical techniques of the boatmen.

"You did the right thing. Make an order tomorrow to increase the salaries of the boatmen and double their salaries!"

Zhu Qiyu was a little puzzled, and asked, "Double, is it...too much?"

There are not three or five boatmen in the shipyard, at least 10,000+, how much does it cost to double?

"Not much, I just want to tell the people in the world that as long as they have the ability, I will never begrudge money. Moreover, I plan to abolish the household subsidy system, and all people can freely choose occupations, no longer restricted by household registration."

"what……"

Zhu Qiyu's jaw dropped again, abolishing the household subsidy system?
Even if you are the emperor, you have the final say on the affairs of the world, but how can you abolish the rules set by your ancestors?

Of course Zhu Qizhen is clear, 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 the development of history, but when looking at anything, one must first figure out one thing, what is the environment behind it?
Just like the imperial examination, at the beginning of its birth, it was by no means useless, and it was an effective measure to maintain national unity.

In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang announced the implementation of the household subsidy system, which marked the official opening of the household subsidy system in the Ming Dynasty.

The person who first suggested the household subsidy system was Taichang Shaoqing Chen Mei. Taichang Temple was mainly responsible for the ancestral temple etiquette of the imperial court. Once Chen Mei told the imperial court that according to Zhou rituals, the emperor should tell the country's household registration number when offering sacrifices. God.

Chen Mo's remonstrance coincides with Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts, because the Ming Dynasty has just been established, the most important thing at this time is to stabilize the people's hearts, and then it can continue to develop, but how to win the people's hearts and make them think that the king is supreme?

After much deliberation, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that offering sacrifices to heaven was a good way.

By offering sacrifices to the heavens, the people of the world are told that the imperial power is destined by the heavens, and the way of heaven cannot be done, so that the people of the Li people can truly submit to themselves.

However, although Chen Mo's suggestion is good, there is an objective reality, that is, first of all, it is necessary to know the detailed population of this country. It's even harder.

Soon after, someone helped Zhu Yuanzhang solve the problem of counting the population.

This man was named Chen Guan, one of the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, and served as the magistrate of Ningguo.

During Chen Guan's tenure, in addition to conscientiously carrying out local construction, he often went to observe the people's conditions.

In the process, he discovered that the local gentry often used various means to occupy the land of the people, so he strictly investigated and dealt with it, and ordered the local gentry not to oppress the people, otherwise they would be severely punished.

However, although the gentry and tyrants did not know about the robbing, they had many methods in private. The government's order only cured the symptoms, but could not cure the root cause. So Chen Guan began to completely liquidate the population and land area in the Ningguo area to prevent the tyrants from occupying it again.

The specific measure is a house-to-house liquidation, counting the population, houses, land, and even the number of cattle in each family, and then confirming it with the government and the households under investigation, commonly known as household stickers, and the signatures will be postponed. Two copies were handed over to the government and the common people for safekeeping.In this way, each family's property has a clear figure. Even if it is occupied by a tyrant, the common people can take the household sticker to the government to sue.

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 the area of ​​the land.

After this measure was reported to the court, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but waved his hands in praise, thinking that if the household subsidy system was followed 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 curb the problem of land annexation.
