The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 628: Place of Exile

Scholars need a talent for reading, and doing business requires a smart mind and strong initiative, etc. Factories are recruiting a large number of workers, and small farmers are beginning to go bankrupt.

For ordinary people who want to change their class, it has been the easiest way for ordinary people to improve the social status of military households from civilian households to military households for 20 years.

The Fifth Military Governor's Office and the Ministry of War, with the cooperation of multiple departments such as the Military-Civilian Joint Department and the Workers'-Civilian Joint Department, and with the support of the local superior guards and the government, convert civilians into the military as planned every year for a long time.

Anbian Office, Qingyang Prefecture, Shaanxi Province.

Weisi yamen.

A normal day.

There is a warning written on the old official document posted at the notice desk at the yamen gate.

The number of sheep raised by each household must not exceed the prescribed number. People without permission are not allowed to raise more than ten sheep, etc.

As one of the sources of civilization in the Central Plains.

Shaanxi was originally fertile.

Just like the sandstorms in the capital in later generations do not necessarily come from the local area.

Since the decline of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions have lost control. Coupled with the rise in earth temperatures at that time, the local population has surged, leading to overgrazing, destroying grasslands and oases, and causing the land to gradually lose its vitality and extend inward.

Even with the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the national policy of destroying acres of land and converting it into pastures promoted this process of decline.

Ecological destruction is easy.

But recovery is difficult, even with the technological conditions of future generations.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons, but it is also an important one.

For many years after the restoration of water conservancy irrigation and the construction of ditches to store water, Shaanxi was still controlling the number of breeding animals. The large-scale well system was the most stringent in Shaanxi, even more stringent than in Peking.

Unlike Peiping, Shaanxi will even allocate 150 acres of land to each military household.

but.

It was also stipulated that each military household was not allowed to breed more sheep.

According to the imperial court's plan, Shaanxi will not vigorously develop animal husbandry. It will control wasteland and convert plain green land into acres. Even so, relying on the advantages of per capita resources, the overall economy of the people of Shaanxi has improved.

Shaanxi is very big.

There are mountains, saltlands, depressions, etc., so there are many poor people.

A clerk read today's newspaper in the tea room, joked with his colleagues, went to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then returned to his own office. The layout of the office was very simple.

Affected by the times and public opinion.

The yamen of the Ming Dynasty were not brilliant, and no one was willing to propose changes to the yamen.

Not only will you not get any favors, but you will also easily ruin your reputation.

Therefore, like other provinces, the best buildings in Shaanxi are government schools and prefectural schools. Everyone will give a thumbs up to running schools. The political achievements that are easiest for officials to obtain are also easy to pass.

There were a lot of official documents piled up on the desk in the public room.

Si Wu sat back in his seat. The sun had already risen in the sky, and Si Wu picked up the official document.

at this time.

Two servants in flying fish suits and two long black robes entered the Wei Si Yamen.

The commander of Wei Si had a sullen face.

It seems that he has received the notice. The other officials stopped talking and wondered who it was?

soon.

Several people broke into the secretary's office and did not give him any extra time. After controlling him, they began to search his office, not missing any official documents, and went straight to his home.

Finally, a wooden box was dug out under the locust tree in the yard of his second brother's house, containing tens of thousands of yuan in food stamps, which shocked the officialdom of Shaanxi.

It wasn't because of tens of thousands of dollars in stolen money, but because of how a small health center clerk could steal tens of thousands of dollars in food stamps?Such an ability to make money is astonishing.

In the North Parallel Province area, after thousands of military families were separated, they reported to their local guard office. The guard office handed the list to the Wei Si Yamen, who handed it over to the Dusi Yamen, who then sent it to the Fifth Army. Governor's Mansion.

This kind of disciples are the core group.

Qiao Cheng, the former commander of the Guangdong capital, is now promoted by the Military-Civilian Joint Department and Xie Jin of the cabinet to discuss this year's immigration project.

In the past few years, Xie Jin was responsible for clearing land and land throughout the country. He succeeded and returned to the court.

"Making good use of these core disciples is a top priority."

Xie Jin said seriously.

Civilian households were converted into military households, but it was only a change in household registration. Compared with the original military households, the new military households did not know how to fight, and there was a big gap in the quality of military organizations.

Not to mention the changes in military households over the years, even during the period of Emperor Taizu, military households had to participate in training regularly. Although the training levels vary from place to place, some places are strict and some places are lax, but in the end they have the corresponding capabilities. .

Whether it is the Samarkand region or the Nanyang region, although the immigrants will be settled in the core area and the risk is not great, the environment is not as good as that in the mainland. So under the leadership of these children of old military families, the new settlements will have higher quality military capabilities.

Qiao Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Ge, please rest assured that the Military-Civilian Joint Department has been responsible for immigration affairs for many years and there will be no mistakes."

"That's good. It's good if nothing goes wrong. If there is a problem, even if I speak for you, I won't be able to tell His Highness the Crown Prince." Xie Jin beat.

The vigorous internal supervision campaign has affected many departments.

Xie Jin just returned to the court and did not want to be implicated.

No one can be alone.

You need your own people to do things.

Without the support of your own people, nothing can be done.

This is an eternal truth, and it is also true in the United States in later generations. After a new person in charge takes the throne, he will promote his own people to important positions, which is no different from the principle of an emperor and his courtiers.

For every person in charge in the United States, a group of senior officials are replaced by new ones.

It can be as big as a country or as small as a company.

A new manager will definitely develop his own cronies.

Subsequently.

Xie Jin went to the cabinet and met Zhu Gaochi.

On Zhu Gaochi's desk, there were also several newspapers, as well as the imperial newspaper.

Dibao is also called Dichao or Dichao, and is also known as "Chaobao", "Tiaobao" and "Miscellaneous News". All four use the word "bao", which shows that it is a kind of announcement news used for notification. , is a news copy specially used by the imperial court to convey documents and political information about government affairs.

The word news is not a word that only comes from later generations.

The Di newspaper is not allowed to be published externally.

However, officials have their own cronies, including errand runners, housekeepers, children, relatives and friends, so apart from the common people, officials are not the only people who can read the newspaper.

So the newspaper founded by Zhu Gaochi is a copy for all groups.

Compared with Di Bao, newspapers are more popular among ordinary people.

Technical newspapers are published less frequently.

The Current Affairs Daily is a newspaper that every government office and unit, as well as private businesses subscribe to.

Social newspapers, daily life newspapers, miscellaneous newspapers, Peking local newspapers, Yingtianfu Beijing News, economic newspapers, etc. have their own subscription groups.

Zhu Gaochi read the current affairs newspaper, which published corruption in Shaanxi.

Jie Jin didn't dare to wait any longer.

Although the incident in Shaanxi was caused by the Wei Si Yamen, in fact, the Military-Civilian Joint Department also had many problems, but they were not as shocking as that of the Secretary, so they seemed less serious.

People like Dai Deyi and Jing Qing didn't care about the government's face at all.

Jinyiwei has always been ostracized by officials.

However, these two people cooperated deeply with Jin Yiwei, and with the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the actions that had been taken for half a year starting from the ninth year of Yongle finally showed their power, and more and more officials could not laugh.Xie Jin asked himself that he had no problem, but he was worried that the people below him would have problems.

The secretary was very courageous and embezzled tens of thousands of dollars by selling his military membership. The Military-Civilian Joint Department had greater power than the secretary and faced a wider group of people. Xie Jin believed that someone must be greedy.

Zhu Gaochi put down the newspaper and sighed inwardly.

Society is never simple, and the phenomena that occur are often different from what people imagine.

For example, in the years around the 25th year of Hongwu's reign, a large number of middle-level officials who were personally promoted and trained by Emperor Taizu from the Imperial College had very few corrupt officials, which was completely different from the officials left over from the previous dynasty during the founding of the early Ming Dynasty.

So what normal people think is that officials in the new era, that is, after industrialized society, decentralization of classes, and more people participating in affairs, should be more honest.

However, during the inspection activities carried out in the past six months, it was those young officials who had just risen from the bottom, the children of the so-called new era common people, who discovered a staggering number.

Even compared with the officials left over from the previous dynasty in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they did things without scruples, and some of their methods were so childish that it was incredible and impossible to understand their thoughts.

Even if they are corrupt, they should not be corrupt. Officials left over from the previous dynasty are also corrupt, but their corruption is more subtle and subtle.

The little clerk found tens of thousands of food stamps from his home, which caused a sensation.

The so-called rapid development of the new era has been hit hard.

Xie Jin saw the expression on His Highness the Crown Prince's face.

Contrary to what people thought, His Highness the Crown Prince not only did not get angry, but did not even care too much. Xie Jin couldn't help but guess whether His Highness the Crown Prince had expected it.

Zhu Gaochi did know.

In addition to the information collected by Jin Yiwei, he also has a clear understanding of the context of the times.

For example, reading.

The general consensus is that if ordinary people's children have the opportunity to study, they will cherish them more.

Not so.

The more aristocratic the school, the less bullying.

Those behaviors such as skipping school, fighting against teachers, bullying classmates, etc. are exactly the behaviors of many working-class children. They regard them as a sign of adult maturity, and they are proud of them.

After the West entered the industrialized society and became economically prosperous, schools emerged and a large number of civilian children were enrolled in schools. This phenomenon led to the conclusion reached by Western sociologists through long-term research.

So do officials.

The corruption of modern British officials is very shocking, especially in overseas colonies. The price for buying and selling officials has been set, and officials in each colony are trying to make the most money.

The commonality of human nature.

When destined to the same environment, there will be the same phenomenon.

The Civil-Military Joint Ministry does not seem to have much power, but as various affairs develop, immigration matters alone can generate considerable benefits. Those above have the same approach, and those below have the same approach.

There is even a phenomenon that if you want to move to a better position, you need to give money to the officials.

This requires a good center.

Heroes are inseparable from the times, and the times also need heroes to lead them.

Without Zhu Yuanzhang, there would be no Li Yuanzhang and Zhou Yuanzhang.

Without Churchill, Britain would not have stayed the course.

Zhu Gaochi understood very well.

Your own identity is the biggest benchmark.

Under the guidance from above, top-down development is also a good medicine to prevent this kind of phenomenon. Historically, the West has passed this era through the development of the times.

Just like the indulgent era in the United States, people were tired and began to reflect, so they began to advocate returning to the family.

Seeing His Royal Highness the Prince put down the newspaper, Xie Jin quickly stepped forward to report on the immigration matters.

In areas such as Peiping, the majority are children of military households, while in Jiangxi, the majority are new military households who have transferred from civilians to the army.

The former was the core of the settlement and became the local guard officer and Katai chief, organizing regular military drills for military households every year.

The status of military households is very high and their treatment is also very high.

However, military households also have to put in more energy.

In addition to daily labor, they also need to drill twice a year, master military skills, and maintain local military organizations so that they can quickly replenish the army when needed.

The source of the army is military households.

Ming Dynasty has been fighting every year for these years.

Although the victory rate is high, a lot of soldiers were sacrificed in total. Including the disabled, those who died of illness, etc., it can be said that the sacrifices of military households were also many.

Put it in the Song Dynasty, or the Ming Dynasty in history.

It will turn into civilian households discriminating against military households.

When the civilian economy is prosperous, civilian households can rely on labor to maintain their lives. However, military households do not benefit more than civilian households, and they have to bear more contributions. This is an inevitable phenomenon.

On the contrary, it was the people who were in dire straits and had no enough food to eat that turned their attention to becoming soldiers, which was a good way out.

So how to solve this phenomenon?

The United States attracts young foreigners by granting them nationality, and at the same time increases military pay for military service.

Under the guidance of Zhu Gaochi, the Ming Dynasty improved the social status of military households.

Industry and Agriculture.

Agriculture is more stable.

The reason why farmers' lives are not as good as those of workers is because farmers have fewer acres of land. Just like American farmers, they live better than ordinary workers.

Daming has such advantages.

Therefore, the Katai system gave the military households a stable living environment and material foundation, and also retained the barbaric physique required by human nature to fight against nature. At least they dared to kill chickens and pigs.

But what.

People will always seek benefits, and the Ming Dynasty's military household reform system gave officials another opportunity to take advantage of them.

There are many people who want to convert the people into the army.

The Ming Dynasty was very strict with the democratic reform army. After all, the industrial sector also required a lot of manpower.

Killing is not okay.

Zhu Gaochi sighed.

"These people, please make arrangements to go to the Laos Xuanwei Department."

The Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to family, but the people paid more attention to family.

For example, the clerk.

He actually hid the stolen money in his brother's house. If Jin Yiwei hadn't received the information, the Procuratorate would have been unable to find out the stolen money, and they would have thought it was a petty corruption.

Si Wu's crime is not only his personal behavior, but also his family will be implicated.

The previous place of exile was Liaodong. Now, continuing to be exiled to Liaodong is no longer a punishment. Although the Samarkand area is far away, it has stabilized internally, and the same is not possible.

Therefore, the current place of exile in Ming Dynasty is mainly in Xuanweisi, Laos.

Not even Cochin.

Jiaozhi has a train connection and is undergoing great development.

As for the two overseas enclaves of the imperial court, Ming Dynasty will also carry out unified planning instead of learning the early Western methods of relocating populations.

E.g.

A settlement of 1 people is an immigration method jointly led by the imperial court and the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau.
