Chapter 654 Begins to Implement Household Registration Policy

Sun Chengzong saw that the emperor talked about the issue of household registration, the issue of land outside the customs and overseas, and it became more and more serious. Although this issue is not so eye-catching now, it is actually related to the development of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, or even hundreds of years. .

Household registration is by no means a simple issue of household registration. What comes with the household registration is a series of rights and corresponding obligations. This issue, when you think about it in depth, is really shocking.Sun Chengzong looked at the emperor with faint thoughts, thinking that it was nothing more than a long-term vision.

"Your Majesty has far-sighted considerations. The matter of household registration is actually the most important thing. It is feasible to buy land without household registration. ... Your Majesty is going to start implementing household registration?" Sun Chengzong said. He talked about it. At that time, the talk was relatively general, and it had not yet been officially implemented. It was just a statement. When the emperor said this, Sun Chengzong knew that the emperor was going to start implementing the household registration policy.

"I don't dare to say foresight. Some things must be done in my hands. Since I was born into this world and as the emperor of my Ming Dynasty, I am destined to take on this responsibility." Yang Reform said lightly. , Speaking of this, my thoughts actually drifted to other places.

"..." Sun Chengzong fell silent, looking at the emperor with faint thoughts, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He has lived for decades, and in fact, he has become the emperor's right-hand man. It takes one or two years to live the most wonderful life, so many things are woven one by one in my own hands, and the influence on future generations can last for hundreds or even hundreds of years.There are too many things that he didn't dare to think about before, but now, he has done them one by one, or is about to do them.There are many things that he couldn't reach before, and only after following the young emperor, those things that he couldn't reach before gradually touched the edge.Many things, in the eyes of Sun Chengzong, were blurred at all, and it was only in the past two years that the vision of seeing things gradually became clear.Looking at the emperor who was too young, Sun Chengzong could only sigh with emotion.

"Big companion, go and call Bi Ziyan, I have something to do, and also, call Xiao Shunzi, because I have something to do..." Yang Reform suddenly turned and said to Wang Chengen.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen immediately agreed, and then went to make arrangements.

After the imperial decree was issued, Yang Reform continued to walk again. On this sunny day after the rain, the air was exceptionally clear, and people's thinking was exceptionally smooth.

Sun Chengzong was still walking with the emperor, and when he heard the emperor summoned him to complete his strict regulations, he knew that the emperor had to arrange specific matters. It seemed that it was still related to the household registration. If the level is lower, it is related to the land outside the pass, and the level is a little bit more. , It is related to the war outside the pass.This series of plans are intertwined and connected. How can outsiders know where things will go and what the final outcome will be?Only when the truth comes out, outsiders will be amazed, so it is.

"How much does Master Sun know about Buddhism?" Yang Reform walked for a while, then suddenly asked Sun Chengzong this question.

"Buddhism? I'm reporting back to Your Majesty. I have also dabbled in something. I don't know what your Majesty wants to ask?" When Sun Chengzong saw the emperor asking this question, he concentrated on not explaining it to the emperor. After all, he was young and lacked a lot of knowledge. In this regard, Sun Chengzong felt that he might be worthy of the emperor calling him a master.

"A few days ago, Master Yuanwu came to see me and said something about Buddha. After listening to it, I found it interesting..." Yang Reform said with a smile. Now, I can only give a little mention to Sun Chengzong.

"..." Sun Chengzong didn't know how to answer the words. With the emperor's heart, he was by no means a person who would be influenced by Buddhism. Looking at the emperor's actions, the emperor's thoughts were all standing between heaven and earth, facing Heaven and earth are fighting for fate, and the one before the creation of a hundred generations is not so far away from the Buddha.

"...Does Master Sun understand Lamaism?" Seeing that Sun Chengzong was speechless, Yang Reform asked again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I also know a little bit, and I have dabbled in it." Sun Chengzong replied again, in these places, he showed his usefulness. People who came from a Jinshi background generally have a wide range of research and a wealth of knowledge. Jinshi The gold content is quite high.

"... Your Majesty is talking about those lamas on the grassland?" Sun Chengzong seemed to suddenly think of something, and said this again.Things on the grassland have led to this situation, but in fact, the lamas have also played a role in fueling the flames. To put it bluntly, it is mixed with fighting for power and profit.Because these matters are related to the military and the situation outside the pass, Sun Chengzong still knows a lot about this aspect. Hearing the emperor's question, he immediately thought of this aspect.

"Well, what does Master Sun think of these lamas?" Yang Reform asked.Yang Reform did not have a good impression of those lamas who made troubles. Lin Danhan suddenly went crazy on the grassland to kill people and rob things, smashing the "fence" of the Ming Dynasty into a sieve. In addition to being related to the climate, in fact, it is also related to those lamas. Religion Great changes on the meddling and propelling grasslands.In Yang Reform's strategy, he didn't take them seriously, he was prejudiced against them, and he didn't even think about using their energy. If those lamas conflicted with his plan, Yang Reform didn't mind piling up piles of lamas with their heads. "Jingguan", if they stop in time and know how to advance and retreat, I might as well give them a living space, and I don't want to completely uproot them.But now, Yang's idea of ​​reform has changed, and these lamas, it seems, are still useful.

"Those people? Stirring the wind and the rain, adding fuel to the flames, and causing great harm to our court..." Sun Chengzong also expressed his own point of view. Through various information, Sun Chengzong can see everything on the grassland at a glance. Many people in the past Things that are not clear and incomprehensible are all under the eyes of Sun Chengzong now. Sun Chengzong naturally knows what those lamas did. Naturally, he doesn't like those lamas. Factors gradually evolved into massacres and fierce wars. The "fence" that had been raised by the Ming Dynasty for 200 years disappeared like this. It's not going to get better.

"Hehe, it's true what Master Sun said, those lamas are really good at helping the flames. They all say that the monks are compassionate, but I don't think they may have this kind of compassion..." Yang Reform commented with a smile.Yang Reform thought of his attitude towards that old monk again, it wasn't that Yang Reform had some prejudice against Buddhas and he didn't like to see Buddhism, it really couldn't get better.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, if you want to say that the monks are compassionate, my Dongtu Buddhism has done a good job, far better than that of the Lamaism..." Sun Chengzong said, seeing the emperor talking about the local monks, and then talking about the lama monks on the grassland, The two were compared at once.

"...This is not bad. The Buddhism in my eastern land has no secular rights, so it is naturally much more peaceful and compassionate, which makes sense. The lama's involvement with secular rights adds fuel to the flames, and the word compassion, It's really very different..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is right..." Sun Chengzong said.

"...Your Majesty talked about those lamas. Does Your Majesty have any new views on those lamas, or do you need to adjust some strategies?" Sun Chengzong suddenly thought that the emperor would not say these things for no reason. Now the emperor is concerned about the war in the north. It was extra careful. When it came to the issue of lamas, Sun Chengzong felt that it might be related to this.

"Well, it is true that some strategies may need to be adjusted, but how to deal with it, I don't have a solid idea yet, and I'm still thinking about how to do it..." Yang Reform admitted that the matter about the living Buddha really involves a lot, For a while, Yang Reform didn't have a specific solution, so he couldn't say anything about doing the living Buddha's work.

"Uh..." Sun Chengzong didn't dare to ask any more, thinking that if he really wanted to adjust his strategy, he was afraid that there would be a considerable adjustment. The current policy towards those lamas is very simple, if it is the enemy's, destroy it; if it is not the enemy's, it will be eliminated. It doesn't matter if there are too many, no matter whether it is an enemy or an "insider", neither can cause harm to the Ming Dynasty, nor can it rob the interests of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise they are all "enemies".

……

Just as he was talking, Wang Chengen reported that Xiao Shunzi had arrived, and not long after, he reported that Bi Ziyan had arrived.

Wang Chengen was waiting by the emperor's side, slightly behind the emperor, Xiao Shunzi was behind Wang Chengen, and on the other side were Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan.

"It's rare to encounter such fresh weather today!..." Yang Reform first talked about the weather. The city of Beijing has been exposed to the sun for several months, and the flying sand and soil are unavoidable even in the palace. Seeing this kind of fresh air is really rare, and it is impossible not to boast about it.

"..."

"……That is……"

"Return to Your Majesty, today is indeed a good day, it is rare to have such good weather in the capital..."

Bi Ziyan said a few more words, but Sun Chengzong didn't say a word.Only Xiao Shunzi talked the most. Of course, Wang Chengen didn't speak. Wang Chengen usually only spoke when receiving orders. At other times, the emperor didn't ask him, so he didn't talk to him.

"Is there any difficulty with the Ministry of Households regarding money?" Yang Reform praised the weather and started to talk about business, finding a topic as an entry point.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, is your Majesty asking for money to support Lin Danhan?" Bi Ziyan quickly agreed when he saw that the emperor asked about the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Hmm..." Yang Reform hummed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the household department has enough money now, and the expenses of 20 to [-] yuan can still be supported..." Bi Ziyan quickly agreed.

"Well, the expenses of supporting Lin Danhan are all paid by me, and there is no need for the household department to pay for it..." Yang Reform said.

"...The minister obeys the order!" Bi Ziyan was a little puzzled. When the emperor asked about the money, he thought that the emperor asked the household department to pay for Lin Danhan's support. Unexpectedly, the emperor paid for it himself.Since the emperor still paid for it himself, why did the emperor ask this?Wouldn't it be superfluous?
"What do Bi Qing's family think about the war in Liaodong?" Yang Reform asked again with a smile.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, our dynasty has the upper hand, and the odds of winning are relatively high. We can suppress the eastern captives, but the time is not yet ripe for a decisive victory..." Bi Ziyan was even more puzzled. All he knew was what the emperor told him. ask him?Shouldn't you ask Elder Sun Ge about this?He is really an outsider.

"Hehe, has the Qing family thought about the end of the war?" Seeing Bi Ziyan's depressed face, Yang Reform asked with a smile.

"...The war is over? This, Your Majesty..., of course, it is a sweep of the Eastern Captives, regaining the lost ground, and a shame. I have great martial arts." Bi Ziyan said again.

"Then how is the investment in Liaodong going?" Yang Reform asked with a smile. Yang Reform is much clearer than Bi Ziyan on this matter. The Ministry of Household Affairs is still a cooperator in this matter. It was Yang who reformed himself in the lead.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have followed His Majesty's instructions..." Bi Ziyan could only answer this way. To be honest, his household department can't be the master in the development of Liaodong. , but not under the management of his household department; who can enclose land, let alone the household department's turn, what his household department can do is to enclose the land by others, take the land deed and so on to the household department to stamp, In addition, the household department records who bought the land there, how much it bought, and how much tax should be paid. The tax that the household department can collect is actually the land tax. Others, it is not up to the household department. to collect.As for the money for selling the land, this is not in the hands of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Hmm..." Yang Reform paused for a moment.Looking at the depressed Bi Ziyan, he knew a lot of things, but Bi Ziyan didn't know yet, his level was a little lower, and he couldn't talk like he was talking to Sun Chengzong.

"...I think about the investment in Liaodong, and I want to add a rule here, which is related to the household department..., Xiao Shunzi, it is also related to yours..." Yang Reform thought for a while, and said .There is still a considerable gap between Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong. Many things can be discussed with Sun Chengzong, but they will not be discussed with Bi Ziyan. Strictly speaking, he instructed Xiao Shunzi, who was the chief eunuch who controlled the northern tax bureau.

"May I ask Your Majesty, what rules do you want to impose?" Bi Ziyan asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, my servant is listening..." Xiao Shunzi also agreed.

"It is a requirement of household registration. If you want to go to Liaodong to buy land and invest in business in the future, a prerequisite is that you must be a citizen of our country, and you must hold my Daming household registration..." Yang Reform said.

"Add household registration? Only people with my Daming household registration can buy land?" Bi Ziyan was a little surprised when he heard this request, and was not sure what it meant for a while.

"Slave obeys the order!" Xiao Shunzi didn't think much about it. He understood what he said, and immediately agreed that he is in charge of who can go to Liaodong to enclose land and collect taxes. Since the emperor wants to add a household registration in front of it premise, then he will follow suit.Speaking of it this way, the power of the Ministry of Accounting has increased. Xiao Shunzi looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, Bi Ziyan.

"That's right, this is a necessary premise. Those who don't have a Ming household registration are not allowed to buy land in Liaodong..." Yang Reform thought for a while and said.

"The minister leads the decree." Bi Ziyan understood it, and agreed. Although he didn't fully understand what it meant, it seemed that there was no harm to the household department. The addition of this request seemed to be beneficial to his household department.

"...Dare to ask Your Majesty, why do you make such a request?" Bi Ziyan asked again after finishing his answer.

"It's actually quite simple. Today Lin Danhan keeps coming to ask for help. I think it's a critical moment to come to Liaodong..." Yang Reformed.

"...Your Majesty means that our court will soon have a decisive battle with Donglu?" Bi Ziyan asked with some joy and surprise. There have always been many speculations about when the emperor will attack Donglu. Although Da Ming has the upper hand now, and although everyone knows that Da Ming can win, no one can tell the conclusive news.The decision on this matter depends entirely on the emperor, and it is difficult for outsiders to influence and shake the emperor's mind.Bi Ziyan was very happy to hear the conclusive news that he was going to attack Donglu.

"That's right, Lin Dan Khan's situation is getting more and more embarrassing. I'm afraid my strategy of besieging the Donglu will not last long. Therefore, the decisive battle will definitely come. I estimate that there will be a victory next year." Negative..." Yang Reform said to his confidants.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty..." Xiao Shunzi immediately flattered him. Unlike his foreign ministers, he was a member of the emperor's family, so he didn't have too many restraints in his speech. Everything he did was to please the emperor.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty..." Bi Ziyan had no choice but to follow up.

"Leaving aside the congratulations, I summoned you today to say that there will be a big war in Liaodong next year. The big war is not a problem. What I want to talk about is after the big war. Once I win the Donglu, the Liaodong Immediately there will be a large number of unclaimed lands, and I will sell these lands... Yang Reform said.

"...!" Bi Ziyan was surprised.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty..." Xiao Shunzi immediately sent congratulations and congratulations. If so many lands are sold like now, the income of this money will naturally go without saying.

"Well, let's not mention the congratulations for the time being, let's get things done first. I called you here today to say two things. First, all the land outside the customs must be sold. Maybe after I take down the Donglu, There will be some people who will come out and ask for free money. This needs to be prevented in advance; and the household registration must be implemented. Those who do not have a household registration cannot be allowed to buy land. All land buyers outside the customs must have a clear household registration. Clearly verify and specify the amount of land purchased and the amount of tax paid..." Yang Reform said.

"...As for the reason, it is actually quite simple. Once the eastern captives are wiped out, I am afraid that many people will secretly go to Liaodong, find a piece of land for themselves, occupy it and cultivate it, thinking that this is their own. If That’s the case, so what should I do with the expenses of spending a huge amount of money to lay down the land in Liaodong? If everyone follows suit, how can the land in Liaodong be sold? Therefore, we must pay special attention to the household registration, and we must bind the household registration with the land in Liaodong. Let’s get up, we need to control Liaodong through the household registration. Only those who have the household registration can sell the land. The land must be tied to the household registration. It must be stated how much land there is and how much tax is charged. Those who do not have a household registration will not be protected by me. Otherwise, who will pay the tax No one pays taxes, what do I use to raise soldiers? What do I use to maintain peace? What do I use to control Liaodong? If I can’t control Liaodong, will I let another Donghu come out?..." Yang Reform continued, explaining the importance of household registration sex.

"Report to Your Majesty, the subject understands, and the subject receives the decree." After hearing the emperor's explanation, Bi Ziyan understood it, and immediately agreed, it turns out that the decisive battle is indeed going to be fought, and the emperor is taking precautions after the decisive battle.

"Report to Your Majesty, I will obey the order." Xiao Shunzi also agreed. How to sell it?Isn't the emperor's business going to ruin?
"In addition, Xiao Shunzi, regarding the purchase of land in Liaodong, the scope can be relaxed. If Xiaomin wants to buy it, he might as well let him buy it. If he is too busy, he can expand the yamen, but the rules must be followed." Yang Reform said again.Since Yang Reform has seen Zhang Weixian and his ability to avoid risks, he still feels that he cannot put all his eggs in one basket. In the past, Yang Reform considered using the model of a large business group to develop Liaodong in order to collect taxes. Now it seems that the expansion You can't rely on them all, it is more reliable to "take care" of more people, or rely on more people, although it is more troublesome.Furthermore, the household registration policy should be implemented. This is a good opportunity. Originally, Yang Reform still had many means to implement household registration. However, the fact of household registration is too important to be pushed away all at once. It can only be implemented gradually. Now, it is not bad to be able to start.

"Slave obeys the order!" Xiao Shunzi immediately agreed.
