Beginning of Chapter 660

Bi Ziyan had never heard of Yiye Zhidong, but after hearing the emperor's explanation, he suddenly realized that this was the matter, and he was so ashamed that he wanted to dig into the ground. It turned out that the emperor was referring to the victims of the disaster, not really talking about the weather, secretly calling himself ashamed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am really ashamed. As the Minister of the Household Department, I have not been able to understand the holy meaning. I am really stupid." Bi Ziyan said with guilt. It is a bit negligent for the emperor to remind him of this matter.

"It's okay, it rained last night and it was a bit cold, so I thought of this. It's just right to talk about winter now." Yang Reform said.

"...Yes, Your Majesty..." Bi Ziyan was still very ashamed. This was his responsibility as a courtier, not for the emperor to remind him.

"...This winter is very critical. The common people cannot be left without food and clothing in the twelfth lunar month. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will lead to a catastrophe. Next year, the large-scale development outside the Liaodong Pass will require people. Maybe it won't be like this year. It's urgent..." Yang Reform didn't talk about it, but directly talked about the key issues.

"Your Majesty is right..." Bi Ziyan said.

"... I have calculated that the construction of the road from Tongzhou to the capital city accommodated tens of thousands of people to work and solved the living problems of tens of thousands of people, but the construction of the road can be delayed until the end of the year at most. In fact, the people gathered in the capital city The number of people in the capital is far more than that. According to reports from Yousi, more and more people are still rushing to the capital. I am afraid that there will be more and more people in the capital in the future. The big and small ditches have been properly repaired, which not only solves the living problems of these people, but also solves the problem of silting in the ditches in the capital. These big and small ditches have not been repaired for many years, and they should be repaired. In addition, several rivers outside the city have also been repaired. Now, this project is quite big, it should be able to accommodate at least 10 people to work, and it should be able to greatly relieve the employment pressure in the capital..." Yang Reform said carefully to his imperial party confidants.

Bi Ziyan was also used to the emperor's big actions, and he took the life problems of tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people lightly and calmly.

"...In addition to Tianjin's port and lighthouse, plus the capital city, many factories in Tianjin need to recruit manpower, and the jobs they want to provide should be almost the same. After thinking about it, I can only find that there are redundant jobs In other words, as long as you are a human being, as long as you are not afraid of hardship, you must be able to find a job. It is said that there is no limit to the road, and I can't stop the expectations of the common people..." Yang Reform said.

"Your Majesty wants to use work for relief? Your Majesty is wise..." Bi Ziyan agreed, facing the emperor's "dominant" way of doing things, Bi Ziyan could understand it very well.

"...I have already talked to Mr. Han Ge and Li Gongbu, let them take charge of this matter, and start construction as soon as possible..." Yang Reform continued.

"..." Bi Ziyan was a little surprised, such a big project was handed over to Han Yu?Han Yu is not an "imperial party", no, Han Yu should be counted now..., Bi Ziyan didn't understand the meaning of the emperor, he wanted to remind the emperor, be careful of those people who play tricks and delay things, but after thinking about it , I feel that since the emperor has made a decision, the emperor must have his own ideas, and he may not need to talk too much. Thinking about it again, Han Yu has helped the emperor a lot, and it seems that it is "reasonable" to receive such a big task. Bi Ziyan gave himself I found such an excuse to comfort myself.

"The Qing family is the Secretary of the Household Department. The Qing family must pay attention to the food and food issues. The common people have jobs, but it doesn't mean they have food to eat. Can the Qing family understand the difference?" Yang Reform said, just now I briefed Bi Ziyan on the situation, and now I'm talking about the Ministry of Accounts.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I understand that I will immediately mobilize more grain to Beijing, and start hoarding more grain, so as to make the common people have enough to eat..." Bi Ziyan said immediately, he naturally understood the meaning of the emperor, Hu The Ministry is in charge of money, and even more in charge of food. Naturally, the issue of food depends on the Ministry of Households.

"Well, that's good. The Qing family should pay more attention. The more food they gather, the better, and they must prepare for the worst. Perhaps the number of people who will come to Beijing this year to beg for life will be beyond imagination. Originally, 100 million people were prepared to eat Yes, we may have to prepare food for 150 million people now, maybe more, anyway, the more food the Qing family prepares, the better..." Yang Reform said insincerely.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, don't worry, there will never be any problem with the food. The minister will definitely ensure that the people will be able to eat, and there will never be a shortage of food...Your Majesty, the sweet potato wine is very popular now, and the sweet potato is big. I don’t know how many people are rushing to plant sweet potatoes to get a good harvest. Even if the regular grain is short, there are so many miscellaneous grains, it is enough to ensure that people will not starve to death..." Bi Ziyan assured with confidence, except for now The household department is "not short of money" and can mobilize food powerfully. There is also the big killer of sweet potatoes. With the terrifying yield of sweet potatoes, everyone in the north is swarming to plant them. The yield is unknown at once. With so much food, Bi Ziyan is very confident in his guarantee that no one will starve to death.

"Well, that's good. The Qing family must not be sloppy with this matter, and must be caught..." Yang Reform reminded Bi Ziyan, so he didn't plan to go into details, thinking that Bi Ziyan was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs , and should know how to do it.

"I obey the order!" Bi Ziyan seriously agreed.

"...After this winter this year, next year will be fine. Next year, Liaodong needs people, and there is plenty of land there, which can accommodate many people..." Yang Reform repeated this sentence.

Bi Ziyan listened carefully, and did not show anything because of the repeated words of the emperor.

"What I meant by calling Qing's family here today is actually about the household registration..." Yang Reform said, this is the reason why Yang Reform summoned Bi Ziyan. The household registration is actually less important than the winter How much to give up.Yang Reform still decided to take advantage of this work-for-relief, the upcoming large-scale development outside the Liaodong Pass, and the opportunity of distributing the project to Han Yu, and then send the household registration strategy one step further, so that the household registration policy can be implemented one step further. , I missed the current village, but there is no such shop.

"Household registration?..." It was not the first time that Bi Ziyan heard the emperor mention the household registration, and his mind immediately concentrated.

"Yes, household registration..." Yang Reform said.

Bi Ziyan listened carefully, but he also had doubts in his heart. The household registration policy of the Ming Dynasty still existed. If you want to travel far and migrate, you must report to the local government. I don’t know what the emperor said about strengthening household registration management. Did you say this.

Seeing Bi Ziyan, who was listening attentively and being somewhat puzzled, Yang Reform continued: "...This winter is very important, and I want to take this opportunity to make this rule into it. In the future, those who have household registration will have priority in recruiting and doing things. Those with household registration and those without household registration have to be classified separately..." Yang Reform still said, and revealed this matter to Bi Ziyan a little bit.

"Ah! Those with household registration and those without household registration are separated?...Your Majesty, why is this?" Bi Ziyan was quite surprised. What is the reason for this?
"It's actually simple, but I want to strengthen the management of household registration..." Yang Reform said with a smile, what he said to Bi Ziyan was far from the in-depth discussion with Sun Chengzong. One executor plus half an insider.

"...Uh..., strengthen the management of household registration? Your Majesty, this rule..., this... I really don't understand..." Bi Ziyan couldn't understand. Didn't His Majesty mean to solve the problem of hundreds of thousands of people in the capital? Questions about overwintering?Why did you talk about household registration again?

"...Hehehe, what is unclear? Is there anything wrong with strengthening household registration management?" Yang Reform asked with a smile. This issue has been discussed clearly with Sun Chengzong, and now it is how to implement it, and Bi Ziyan Obviously one of the executors and half an insider.

"...Uh, report back to His Majesty, strengthen household registration management, this..., seems to be..." Bi Ziyan didn't expect the emperor to suddenly talk to him about household registration. Isn't this change too big?
"Hehehe, let me tell you from the Qing family, if household registrations are clear all over the world, is it a good thing or a bad thing?" Yang Reform said.

"...Naturally it's a good thing... Ah! Your Majesty is saying, to clarify the household registration in the world?..." Bi Ziyan almost jumped up, the emperor's thoughts were really a little crazy, now who doesn't know that the actual population of the world is more than the registered population There are many, and there are so many hidden things. If you talk about clarifying the household registration, you are actually copying the previous household registration, and actually clarifying the household registration. Those are two different things. But judging from the current emperor's intentions, it is probably necessary to clarify the household registration. Yes, Bi Ziyan was really taken aback.

"Hush..." Yang Reform hissed, talking to Bi Ziyan, without clearing the room, Yang Reform made a soft movement.

"..." Bi Ziyan almost choked.

"The Qing family also knows the importance of clarifying the household registration in the world, so naturally they have no objection to clarifying the household registration?" Yang Reform said with a smile, as softly as possible.

"...Your Majesty, but,...but this, this minister, is really..." Bi Ziyan naturally knew the benefits of clarifying the household registration, but can you clarify it?If it was so easy to handle, the Ming Dynasty would not have only that population after 200 years of Taiping.

"...Hehehe, since the Qing family also understands the importance of clarifying the household registration, they can naturally understand what I mean. Although this matter is difficult, it is not impossible. This is why I summoned the Qing family today. The actual intention..." Yang Reform said softly.

When Wang Chengen saw the emperor talking about the core incident, he gave the emperor a wink. After getting the emperor's approval, he quietly withdrew.

"...Chen..." Bi Ziyan was really messed up in the wind.This matter is too far from that matter just now, isn't it?

"...The Qing family is worried that they won't be able to do this?" Yang Reform looked at Bi Ziyan, who was fluttering in the wind, and said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is too difficult to make this matter true, and it is very simple to make a false one, but the effects of being true and false are completely different. It is really a great fortune for me if Your Majesty can make this matter true. But I feel that it is really difficult to do the real thing..." Bi Ziyan truthfully told his worries, and the real and fake household registrations naturally refer to the actual household registration data and the copying of the previous household registration data. A fake household registration information is very simple, but a fake one is useless at all.

"Hehe, it's because of the difficulty that I decided to solve this matter. It's rare for me to take care of ordinary things. When doing things, there must be some pressure and some difficulty, isn't it?" What Ziyan said was not like this when he talked about this with Sun Chengzong at the beginning. His mood was extremely depressed and heavy, which almost crushed Yang Reform.

"Uh..., Your Majesty! This..." Bi Ziyan was even more confused in the wind. It seems that this is the only thing that His Majesty can say now, yes!What else can trouble Your Majesty now?If you don't find something difficult to do, Your Majesty is indeed too lonely...

Thinking of this, Bi Ziyan was even more flustered.

"Hehehe, I know what the Qing family is worried about. This matter is really difficult. I don't plan to solve it all at once, nor do I plan to take the usual path. My plan is to gradually strengthen the management of this household registration. After a few steps, the Qing family will find out that my real household registration will surface by itself... I also said that now is a good time, and it is a good opportunity to open the door for strengthening household registration management. I missed this Opportunity, I'm afraid there won't be such a good opportunity in the future..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

"...Uh, Your Majesty, I... It's good to clarify the household registration, and I agree, but... I dare to ask Your Majesty, how many steps are there?" Bi Ziyan was in a mess, and his heart was itchy again. Yes, ask the emperor what to do.

"This is just the first step. Let's set up the rules one by one, make a start, open the opening, and gradually strengthen and tighten in the future. In the end, it will naturally come to fruition..." Yang Reformed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I understand that the different treatment for different household registrations is probably the first step of what Your Majesty said?" Bi Ziyan said, seeming to understand.

"Yes! Strengthening household registration management is a general statement. Now, it is just the beginning of strengthening household registration management. After this start is completed, we will gradually increase the size of this, gradually tighten this matter, and so on. When it reaches a certain level, people in the world will register for household registration by themselves..." Yang Reform said a few more words about his confidant of the imperial party.

"...Report to Your Majesty, I understand." Bi Ziyan's mind was muddled, and he replied that he understood. He really didn't know what methods the emperor had to increase those numbers. Of course, Bi Ziyan also admitted that it was true. It is undoubtedly a great thing to be able to obtain the real household registration information of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this is undoubtedly more difficult than reaching the sky... Is it difficult to reach the sky?It seems that it is not impossible to go to the sky now... Bi Ziyan's mind is muddled, and he is even more confused in the wind.

"Hehehe, this matter, I have my own sense of propriety. It's good that the Qing family knows about it. This matter must not be mentioned to outsiders. Regarding the household registration, what the Qing family can say is that a large number of people are now entering Beijing. It is necessary to strengthen the household registration. Management, to avoid confusion, to facilitate the management of the court, just say this..." Yang Reform ordered, this is an account for his imperial party.Han Yu won a large number of projects, and Han Yu would not object to the matter of household registration. It just opened an opening for strengthening the management of household registration. Once this opening is opened, various means in the future will be easy to handle.

"I obey the order!" Bi Ziyan's mind is still in chaos, but he still agreed to the emperor's words.

Yang Reform has explained his confidantes of the imperial party, and he is waiting for the next time to act. He pays attention to willingness in everything, and only with willingness can he gain. Yang Reform gave up many projects for Han Yu to do, and he will naturally get more. Loss-making business can never be done.

……

Bi Ziyan left full of suspicion.

"Your Majesty, no one listens to the corner." Wang Chengen reported.

"Well, big companion did a good job, I was careless..." Yang Reform blamed himself a little.Yang Reform, who has always paid attention to this aspect, is careless today.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Tian Hong has met you, and your son-in-law Qi Zanyuan has also arrived, but do you want to see him?" Seeing the emperor's self-blame, Wang Chengen interrupted the emperor's self-blame, the emperor's self-blame, he didn't know what to say.

"See." Yang Reformed.In response to this winter, the problem of employment and food has only now been explained, and the problem of warmth has not been resolved.

"Your Majesty, shall we meet separately or together?" Wang Chengen asked again.

"Let's meet together." Yang Reform thought for a while and said.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen promised.

……

The head of state Tian Hongyu and his son-in-law Qi Zanyuan entered the warm pavilion, a little suspicious, they waited outside for a longer time.

"I see Your Majesty!" The two saluted.

"Exemption..." Yang Reformed.To be honest, Yang Reform is now in an implementation period. During the decisive period, hesitation, hesitation and worry have decreased a lot, and people have become more optimistic.Seeing these two people, they also had smiles on their faces, very kind.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" the two agreed.

"You two Qing families, it seemed to rain last night, did you two Qing families feel anything?" Yang Reform still asked these two people with this sentence.

"Uh..." Tian Hongyu and Qi Zanyuan looked at each other, what's going on?Why did the emperor ask about the weather?Isn't the weather for hilarious and farting?Why did the emperor summon them just to play haha ​​and fart?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it did rain yesterday. It seemed to be raining heavily. It seems that there was a northerly wind. Today is much colder than yesterday..." Tian Hongyu was suspicious for a while, but still said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed raining..." Consort Qi Zanyuan also said, this is a fact.

Yang Reform couldn't remember how many times he had heard this, and he laughed so hard that Wang Chengen couldn't help laughing, secretly laughing there.

"Yeah! It's cold, and the people are going to spend the winter. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the capital this year. I'm thinking, how to let the people live through such a winter." Just make it clear.

"Ah!..." The two were surprised together. They were talking about this, no wonder the emperor talked about the weather.

"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is merciful..." Tian Hongyu hurriedly sent good words.

"...Your Majesty is merciful..." Qi Zanyuan, the son-in-law, also said.

"Food and work, I have already discussed everything, and I have settled down. The only thing that has not been discussed is the issue of clothing and heating. What do the two Qing families think about this matter?" Yang Reform made a long story short, and asked road.

"...Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is your Majesty's boss. What His Majesty said, what should I do..." Tian Hongyu immediately stated that everything he has now is given by the Emperor, including his worth and money. The Emperor wants to do things. Of course he only nodded.

"Your Majesty, please order." The son-in-law Qi Zanyuan was also an unambiguous person, and immediately expressed his attitude.

"Well, when it comes to clothing and keeping warm, we must take into account the hundreds of thousands of extra people. Only when they all wear warm clothes and have a place to warm themselves, will the world be peaceful.... In other words, this winter, there will be It needs a lot of cotton clothes and a lot of fuel for heating in winter. One of the two Qing families manages a garment factory and the other runs a coal business. I hope that the two Qing families can shoulder the heavy burden and help these hundreds of thousands of people live Difficulties..." Yang Reform said briefly.

"The minister leads the decree!" The two said solemnly, their expressions becoming more serious.

"In fact, the two Qing families don't need to be so cautious. This matter, speaking of it, is also a good thing. It is not a small deal. The two Qing families are both businessmen, so it is impossible to do business at a loss. I don't have that habit. When it comes to clothing and keeping warm, in fact, those common people are doing work now, and they still have some money in their hands. Cotton clothes for 10 people, fuel for heating, don't think about it until the time comes..." Seeing the solemn expressions of the two men, Yang Reform knew that they had misunderstood what he meant, so he quickly explained.

Tian Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief with Yang Reform's explanation, yes!This is indeed a business!Those people are indeed as the emperor said, although they are poor, they have jobs and they still have two coins in their hands. The wages the emperor pays them are not low. , Tian Hongyu looked at the emperor's eyes began to shine.Your majesty is sending money to those people with one hand, and earning money back from those people with one hand!this deal...

"Report to Your Majesty, I understand." Tian Hongyu said with bright eyes.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I also understand what to do. I will definitely sell coal briquettes for heating at the lowest price and ensure a sufficient supply. Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not make any money..." Consort Qi Zanyuan is also a very smart person , Immediately understood the meaning of the emperor, said.

"Okay, it's good that the two of you can understand what I mean. In fact, I'm not saying that you won't earn any money. You still have to earn what you should earn, but you must understand the burden on you..." Yang Reform said politely Two sentences.The problems of employment, food, clothing, and heating have all been solved, and this winter, they have also been settled.
