I'm a big dick

Chapter 383 Fake News, Fake Newspaper

In Zhu Youxiao's vision, the "Ping Liao debt" will be divided into four denominations of one yuan, ten yuan, one hundred yuan, and one thousand yuan, covering all Ming people from ordinary people to powerful and rich.

Three-year period, annual interest rate of 2%, total issuance of 600 million.This is planned, and we need to listen to the opinions of Bi Ziyan and Wu Dazhang.

And since it is named "Pingliao Bond", after the success of Pingliao, those who hold bonds exceeding [-] yuan will be able to rent land in Liaodong and enjoy the preferential treatment of the minimum tax.

That's right, Zhu Youxiao intends to gradually turn "food for food" into a fixed national policy.

It is still a historical method that no additional tax will be levied on farmers who pay less than [-] yuan in taxes, while rich households who pay more than [-] yuan in taxes will be levied to varying degrees according to the amount of property.

This standard has been improved compared with the historical five-two rate, and it can cover more common people; and the levy on rich households is not just for fishing, at least Zhu Youxiao thinks it is acceptable.

But the fat-brained officials and gentry will definitely feel heartache, not to mention the levy increase, even if the levy is carried out as usual, they still try to hide it!

Well, since you are so greedy for money, let you go to develop the frontier with empty hands and empty hands.

If the emperor had some scruples before and wanted to find an excuse to deal with the gentry and bureaucrats; now he simply doesn't pretend, and whoever dares to violate or disobey the policies formulated and promulgated by the imperial court will be rude to them.

I have such a powerful army that I can defeat even Jiannu, but I can't get rid of you greedy and stupid bastards?

And the ideas derived from the issuance of "Pingliao bonds" are not limited to these.If the "Pingliao Bond" is issued smoothly, Zhu Youxiao feels that it can be circulated in the market.

Perhaps not all merchants and everyone are willing to accept "Pingliao debt", after all, it is not a formal currency.

However, it is not ruled out that because of the successive victories in the Ping-Liao War, the "Ping-Liao Bond" has risen and become a relatively popular bond.

Of course, the imperial court and banks can also contribute to the flames.Opening a bond exchange and conducting reverse repos by banks are all ways to try.

The purpose is also very simple, to turn paper bonds into credit currency and prepare for the issuance and smooth circulation of paper money.

Zhu Youxiao didn't write all his thoughts in the secret letter. Lao Bi and Lao Wu didn't need to know too much, at least not to confuse their thinking in a short time.

Boom!Before the emperor finished writing the ending, he was disturbed by a noise, his eyes widened, and he looked over with displeasure.

In fact, the voice was not loud, but the emperor was too focused on Daming's financial business, so he was unhappy when he was quarreled.

Fan Xiaohui accidentally dozed off and hit the screen next to her with her head. Just as she woke up slowly, she saw the emperor looking over angrily.

"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die." In Fan Xiaohui's memory, she had never seen the emperor in such a state, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

snort!Zhu Youxiao expressed his dissatisfaction with a heavy nasal voice, and Fan Xiaohui was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and dared not make a sound or raise her head.

Damn girl, you asked for this.I was trying to find an excuse to "punish" you, but you sent it to your door yourself.

Zhu Youxiao sorted out his thoughts, finished writing the secret letter and sealed it, then stood up and walked off the throne, and when he passed by Fan Xiaohui's side, he ordered in a deep voice, "Come with me."

Fan Xiaohui got up from the ground, bowed her head and pulled her clothes to follow the emperor, feeling uneasy, not knowing how the emperor would punish her.

Is it pestering you, or is it pestering you?

The emperor walked in front, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, revealing a naughty smile.

........................

From the 46th year of Wanli, the Jian captive Nurhachi "successed to heaven" in Xingjing and swore to rebel against the Ming Dynasty. Bad news continued to come from the Liaodong War, which made Ming Dynasty always shrouded in a cloud.

But for the people who are not in Liaodong, that is still a distant thing. Apart from the increase in taxes, it has nothing to do with their own interests.

Even if Jianlu occupied the whole of Liaodong, no one would have thought that Jianlu, with a population of only a few hundred thousand, would sweep the world and end the Han dynasty that had been established for hundreds of years.

Not to mention that no one would be spared in the chaos of war decades later, and no one would be able to hide from the light of swords and shadows of blood, mountains of corpses and seas of blood.If you don't live to that time, it's another matter.

Because of this, the people in the north don't feel strongly about the war, let alone the people in the south.

Therefore, many people don't understand the huge investment in the Liaodong war and the urgency of the emperor Ping Liao, but they only care about whether their own interests are damaged.

But the emperor didn't care about these, he only cared about the safety of the country.Even, they care more about ordinary people than dignitaries and gentry.

This is completely different from the emperors in history. They don't rely on nobles or literati. Is this the true meaning of ruling the world since ancient times?
But no matter how many complaints there were, and how many series of boycotts there were, under the supreme imperial power and under the increasingly strict investigation of the factory guards, they were all smashed to pieces.

The factory guards are rampant, the inner court is favored, and the country is in chaos...

Some people are cursing bitterly, but the Ming Dynasty's national power has shown signs of recovery; the wars in Liaodong and Southwest are also frequently reported, and victory is expected.

Curses or resentment can only be hidden in the dark, but "Daming Forum" is the only mouthpiece that can be made public, and it is in the hands of the emperor.

Articles published from time to time expose and refute those sanctimonious gentry, profiteers and local tyrants who are greedy for money and ungrateful, and corrupt and lawless powerful bureaucrats.

Moreover, the emperor dismissed and exiled the "honest gentleman" who was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, who was usually generous in his speeches, but had no way to deal with things, and the court was quieter, and the political affairs went smoothly.

This is really a slap in the face. Without those bureaucrats who thought they were indispensable, the situation of "all positive and prosperous courts" ended, and the state affairs have a trend of prosperity. The Liaodong battlefield, which has been defeated repeatedly, is also completely reversed. dawn.

I really thought I couldn't do it without you guys, do you really take yourself seriously?Shit!

Look, government affairs are still running smoothly, even more smoothly than before; those who want to be officials are still studying hard in the cold window, and those selected by the Ministry of Officials are still queuing up.

For the common people, these changes are still nothing to do with themselves and hang on high.But for the privileged classes such as bureaucrats, gentry, and students, it is a frustrating change that has to be accepted.

With the continuous expansion of the "imperial party", there are fewer and fewer people who speak for the frustrated, and even sympathizers are rare.

And those who dared to stab were either ransacked and exiled, or beheaded and cleaned. The opposition force became weaker and weaker, and no one dared to resist, let alone cause any disturbance.

The emperor could also feel this, and fewer and fewer people ransacked their homes and exiled them, which cut off his way of making money.

Where there is an advantage, there is a disadvantage. Zhu Youxiao said helplessly: I am much more capable than Wei Wei. I have settled down the civil service group in only two years or so, and I haven't had a lot of unjust prisons.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao also has to admit that after defeating a civil official group, he has fostered a bureaucratic force.Who let so many people who want to be an official gather around me in a frenzied manner.

It's just that the emerging bureaucratic forces listen to the emperor, and they will do whatever the emperor says.

Although there were Liu Lishun and others who served the imperial court loyally, and Ni Wenhuan and others who speculatively followed suit, the results were not much different.

From Zhu Youxiao's point of view, those who can implement their own policies have already achieved his goal, so what are those bureaucrats doing!

Zhu Youxiao didn't bother to guess whether it was for honoring his ancestors, leaving his name in history, or being promoted to a higher rank.Just be a good department manager, and Chairman Zhu Da will naturally make your dreams come true.

It can be said that Zhu Youxiao's various policies can be implemented only when the executive power is constantly strengthened, so that Daming can really be revived.

In addition to the execution of officials, Zhu Youxiao was also satisfied with the performance of several major chambers of commerce.

While making money, the Maritime Chamber of Commerce gave the imperial court a lot of help by using shipping.Most of the transportation of grain and ammunition in Liaodong was completed by the Maritime Chamber of Commerce.

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce actively implemented the emperor's orders, relying on the post roads and post stations of the Ming Dynasty in the north and the south, vigorously built logistics and storage facilities, and tried to develop private postal services.

Passing letters and letters, in ancient times, for ordinary people, they could only entrust acquaintances to take them along the way.No one is sure about the time, and it is very uncertain whether it will be delivered.

Zhu Youxiao, through administrative orders, allowed major cities to name streets and determine address names, which also laid the foundation and created conditions for the development of private postal services.

Although this cannot be accomplished in a short period of time, which country in the world is currently vigorously building a warehousing, logistics, transportation and postal delivery system?
The Chinese Chamber of Commerce started to act first, and Wu Dazhang also worked hard.The ones in the north should be built quickly, and the renovation of the station will benefit many people.

It also includes the kid surnamed Li who destroyed Daming in history.Thinking of this, the emperor couldn't help showing an intriguing smile.

……………………….Divider line………………………………

"Fake, fake news, made up..." Nurhachi's roar could be heard far away, and people on the street outside might be able to hear it.

A brand new "Da Ming Forum" was crumpled and torn, thrown on the ground, and kicked away by the furious old slave.

It's a pity that the old slave has no education and cannot categorically refute "fake newspapers, fake news".

Li Yongfang was deposed, but Jiannu's intelligence system was still in operation.Now, even if the newspapers were not secretly brought back from Zhangjiakou, people from Liaonan and Dongjiang headquarters would sneak in and distribute them.

Huang Taiji, who is no longer the banner owner and stayed in Shenyang to discuss politics in Baylor, has read this newspaper and knows the reason for his father's fury.

He also suspected that Ming Ting did it on purpose when he got the news so quickly.Well, not suspicious, almost certainly.

Newspapers vividly described how Amin and other prisoners were escorted to the capital of Daming, where they were warmly treated with rotten vegetables and rotten eggs, and then shouted for mercy on the execution ground, showing how weak and timid they were.

In fact, this is not news, but fiction.That vocabulary, that plot, is fascinating.The ugliness of Amin and the others, who are feces and urine, are shown in front of the readers like a movie.

There were even Jiannu prisoners who scolded Nurhachi, resenting the old slave for harming them, and that's why they ended up in such a miserable situation.

"I drank his blood and ate his flesh. I didn't understand the hatred in my heart. I went down to the underworld to wait for this old slave, and let him experience the torture of hell..."

Could it be Amin who shouted these words?Even if you don't believe in ghosts, Nurhachi is very correct in cursing "fake and fake".

But it's normal to know it's fake, but still get so angry that your blood vessels almost burst.It's like hearing slander and spreading rumors, you will be so angry that your eyes will stare and your heart will flutter.

Nurhachi yelled wildly before he sat down on the chair, wheezing like a mad cow.

"Father Khan." Huang Taiji bowed and said: "This is the Ming court spreading rumors to provoke us on purpose. Although Amin and others were unfortunately captured, how could our Jurchen warriors be so unbearable?"

Nurhachi snorted, seemed to have calmed down a bit, perhaps because he was tired from screaming, stretched out his hand to caress his forehead, and said slowly after a long while: "Ah, I won't be fooled by the general method. It's the scorching heat, and it's not our army that launched the battle." opportunity."

Huang Taiji pondered for a while, and gently reminded: "According to the intelligence, the Dongjiang enemy has signs of attacking the Jianzhou Guard. The twelfth brother and Du Du led the army to garrison. We still have to tell them to be careful."

Nurhachi looked up at Huang Taiji, with some suspicion in his eyes, but he still nodded.

Huang Taiji secretly sighed in his heart, knowing that his father Khan might be suspecting that he had other plans, and wanted to regain the position of Zhengbai Banner leader.

"The Yehe people were not killed?" Nurhachi suddenly pointed to the torn newspaper on the ground, and asked in a deep voice, "Is that what it says? They were all sent to Zhenjiang, under the command of Nala Zhongming."

Huang Taiji bowed and replied: "This is a trick to sow and divide people. Father Khan will definitely not believe it."

Nurhachi lowered his eyes, but he was not so sure in his heart.When he attacked Yehe tribe, he promised Buyangu that he would surrender and not kill.

But after the Buyangu League surrendered, Nurhachi broke his promise to kill Buyangu in order to prevent Yehe from making a comeback, and then moved Yehe's civilians to Jianzhou, naturalized and weaved flags, and became his own subjects.

Speaking of this incident, it was also a lump in Nurhachi's heart.After all, being inconsistent doesn't have a good reputation.

Therefore, when the Ming court launched Nala Zhongming as the commander of the Jianzhou Guard, Nurhachi also saw that it was a plan to divide and disintegrate, but he still could not be completely relieved.

As the saying goes, husband and wife are originally birds in the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately.What's more, those vassals who are not as close as husband and wife, those gathered tribes?

After consecutive defeats, how many Mongols attached to Houjin ran away?They helped Houjin fight the war and got a lot of benefits.

From the centrifugal of the Mongols, Nurhaci also had to beware of the betrayal of other Jurchen tribes.Such as Yehebu, Huifabu, Haixi Jurchen and so on.

People's hearts are separated by belly, and Liu Xingzuo, who is so trustworthy, can rebel, which aggravates Nurhachi's suspicion.

"Father Khan." Huang Taiji bowed again and reported: "The firecrackers captured in the battle against the Ming army have been summoned to imitate craftsmen. If they succeed, they can be equipped with the Han soldiers led by Tong Yangxing."

Han soldiers? !Nurhachi narrowed his eyes, pondered for a long time, and then slowly said: "The Ming army's firearms are sharp. If our army can also equip them, it will be a good thing. You should be responsible for supervising them!"
