Chapter 661 Two things

The weather is gradually getting colder. Although the sun is still a little hot during the day, it still can't stop the pace of winter.

After arranging the measures to deal with this winter, Yang Reform put aside the things on his mind again, and felt a lot more relaxed in his heart, but he was still full of things, and there were many things to worry about.

After reading the secret letter from Xu Guangqi from the south, I picked up a pen and wrote a reply to Xu Guangqi from the south, inquiring about the progress of emigration, asking about the progress of Shanghai's construction, and giving some suggestions for some questions Xu Guangqi encountered, or making a ruling.My mind stayed on the southern affairs for some time, the letter to the southern had been written, and Yang Reform was ready to send it.

"Big Companion, send this letter to Master Xu. It's still the same." Yang Reform said, feeling a little more relaxed after writing the letter.Southern immigrants, everything is going according to the established steps, there is no major problem.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen came up to serve with a cup of tea, handed over the tea, took the secret box, and prepared to send it out. Wang Chengen was quite familiar with such things.

After dealing with Xu Guangqi's letter from the south, Yang Reform picked up another memorial, flipped through it, and thought about it again. This matter is also within the scope of his attention. Although he doesn't need to pay too much attention now, he must definitely He couldn't let go of his attention to this matter. After thinking for a while, Yang Reform didn't say anything or do anything. Instead, he put down the memorandum. Let's put this matter aside for a while, and now he doesn't need to keep paying attention to this matter. Besides, this matter is really too far away. Even if you pay attention, it will have no effect on where it happened. This matter can almost only wait for the result.

Wang Chengen dealt with the emperor's account and still came back to serve the emperor.

Although Yang Reform already has a way to deal with this winter, there is one more thing related to this, and he has to pay more attention to it, and that is to supervise the affairs of Han Yu and his gang. This matter originally belonged to Cao Yubian. But Cao Yubian retired, and this matter fell to his successor, but Cao Yubian's successor, Yang Reform, didn't quite believe it. Maybe this matter had to go through Cao Yubian. Yang Reform thought about it , decided to send a letter to Cao Yubian, but after thinking about it, I think it’s better to forget it, and I’ll wait for this matter. Although Cao Yubian has withdrawn, if he still cares about the court situation, he will definitely know about it, maybe He knew what to work on without reminding himself. Yang Reform hesitated for a while, but he still didn't write the letter to Cao Yubian.Anyway, Han Yu's affairs will last forever.

"Big companion, go to the Wenhua Palace and call all the ministers to discuss matters." Yang Reform suddenly said, after dealing with these matters, Yang Reform decided to deal with Han Yu's affairs and household registration. It is better to implement as soon as possible.

"Slave obeys the order!" Wang Chengen was waiting on the sidelines. Seeing the emperor's brows frowned several times, he was a little worried. Seeing that the emperor was unable to write for a long time, he thought that the emperor had encountered some problems, and he was quite anxious. He heard the emperor said that the Wenhua Palace was discussing matters. , agree immediately.

……

Wenhua Hall.

After a while of etiquette, Yang Reform began to formally discuss matters.

"Today, I summoned all of you gentlemen, and I have a few things to discuss." Yang Reform looked around at everyone and said.

In fact, many people understand that it is said that they are here to discuss, but in fact it has already been decided by default, and today is just passing by.

"The first thing is the renovation of the ditches in the capital that Mr. Han Ge mentioned. The ditches in the capital have not been overhauled for eight or nine years, and it's time for a major repair now. What do you guys think?" Yang Reform said, while speaking, he picked up a thick memorial for everyone to read.

When everyone heard about this, they all shut up. Many people knew about it. The emperor had already given it to Han Yu as a reward for turning around. Now, it was just a formality.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed time for a major repair. I used to have a major repair every three to five years. Now there is no major repair in [-]. If there is no major repair, if something happens, I'm afraid there will be a big problem..." Shi Fenglai said immediately , I didn't wait for the emperor to circulate the playbook, and I didn't wait for anyone to read the playbook.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed time to fix it..." The other ministers didn't feel that there was much need to discuss this matter, and since it was decided, they agreed.

After a round of discussions, basically everyone agreed to repair, or they just kept silent. There was really no suspense, and even the transition was extremely simple.

"That being the case, let's do this matter according to Elder Han Ge's instructions. Elder Han Ge will take the lead in overhauling the ditches in the capital. ..." Seeing that there was no suspense about this matter, Yang Reform formally finalized it.

"The minister leads the decree!" Han Yu said with some joy, this matter did fall under his name.

"The minister leads the decree!" Li Changgeng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also agreed. Although he was a little displeased, he was the deputy appointed by the emperor himself.

"...Is the Ministry of Households here?" Yang Reform asked.

"Avoid Your Majesty, I'm here." Bi Ziyan immediately stood up and agreed.

"How much money can the household department allocate for this matter?" Yang Reform asked, and the household department can pay part of the money for the repair of the ditches.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is not a problem to transfer 20 million silver coins..." Bi Ziyan had already been notified by the emperor, and immediately replied that supporting 20 million silver coins is actually quite a lot of money, and he has always used that labor. , there is no need to pay wages, so very little money is used. Now the emperor wants to pay wages, and this amount of money is not enough.

"Okay, the Ministry of Households will allocate 20 to 10 taels first, and the rest will come out." Yang Reform settled the matter with one sentence. The worrying days of the "Pay Emperor", thinking of the past "Pay Emperor", those days are really unbearable to look back on. Thinking about such a difficult day, Yang Reform doesn't know how he survived it. With the huge amount of money in the bank, relying on the banking system and the power of banknotes, now you don't have to worry about money. This kind of life is really different from the precarious "Pay Emperor's Years" before.

"I obey the order!" Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Household Department, agreed.

After dealing with this unsuspecting matter, Yang Reform prepared to handle his own affairs by the way.

"There is one more thing today. This is the memorandum given by the Ministry of Household Affairs. It is said that there are hundreds of thousands of refugees who have fled to Gyeonggi. The population is complex and the government is difficult to manage. It is really a dangerous thing. I will strengthen my advice. What do you think about population management?" Yang Reform said.After speaking, he gave Wang Chengen the memorial in his hand, and Wang Chengen gave it to an official who was in charge of reading the newspaper. The official took the memorial and began to read it aloud.

population?It was the first time that the ministers had heard the emperor mentioning this matter, and they discussed one after another, what does this mean?Could it be that the emperor has made another move?In the Wenhua Palace, it soon became lively.

Yang Reform sat there, calmly waiting for everyone to discuss.

Yang Reform was very calm, waiting for everyone to discuss. After a while, the voice of the discussion gradually quieted down. Knowing that the discussion was almost over, he pressed his hands together, and the voice of the hall immediately quieted down.

"Your family has already discussed it, so let's talk about your own views." Yang Reform said calmly.

Everyone looked at each other again to see who was going to "jump out" to object, and no one "jumped" to object, that is to say, no one would strongly object.

No one answered for a while, Shi Fenglai also waited and watched for a while, and then stood up to speak.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think this is the right thing to do. Since there are hundreds of thousands of disaster victims in the capital, we should indeed strengthen population management. Otherwise, if there is a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous..." Shi Fenglai said.

There was a burst of contempt in the crowd, as expected, he was the emperor's mouthpiece, he said what the emperor said, and nothing more was said in these words.Although everyone despises Shi Fenglai, they also know that it is really hard to say nothing about what the emperor said. If there is really a mistake in these tens of thousands of people, it may cause a big problem. , I can't hide it even if I want to, once there is a problem, it will be a big event that will go straight to heaven, but no one is willing to come out and object to this matter. If you object now, there will be a problem when the time comes, but it will be bad luck.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that the people gathered in the capital city should indeed strengthen their management. Now a large number of people gather in the capital city, with complicated personnel and huge flow. If the management is not strengthened, once something goes wrong, the consequences will be unpredictable..." Han Seeing that Shi Feng had said it, and seeing that Sun Chengzong had no intention of speaking, he stood up and spoke. He agreed with the emperor. Now that he considers himself a half-imperial party, he naturally supports the emperor without hesitation. Has he lost his huge benefits?He should also give back.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister also agrees..." More people stood up and agreed to strengthen population management.

"Does the Qing family have other opinions?" Yang Reform looked around and said.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I dare to ask, how can Your Majesty strengthen population management?" Chen Yuting, the new censor of Zuodu, stood up and said, he still wanted to show his difference.

"This...?..." After listening to Chen Yuting's words, Yang Reform seemed to be stopped by the question. He picked up the memorial and looked at it again. It seemed that this had nothing to do with him, as if he had found some words from it, and said: "... To strengthen the management of the population, there are several methods mentioned above, and I read it to you all just now, there is a law to protect the armor,...well, five households and one guarantee, five guarantees are one big guarantee..." Yang Reform read.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think that it is really inappropriate to implement the Baojia method in the capital. This capital is an important place. How can this Baojia method be implemented? Doesn't this mean that the capital is ready to fight at any time? It is the place of the Four Wars?" Chen Yuting Found some questions worth talking about, and said.

"Well, the Qing family is right..." Yang Reform nodded, it seemed that Chen Yuting had made a lot of progress, but he could see some problems.

"...However, this is a question of how to strengthen management, not whether I want to strengthen management..." Yang Reform did not give Chen Yuting face too much, he praised Chen Yuting first, and then said something wrong with Chen Yuting.

"..." Chen Yuting blushed for a while. He thought he had caught some loophole, but he didn't expect that the emperor would say that.

"The Qing family said so, so they agreed to strengthen population management?" Yang Reform asked. The purpose of Yang Reform is to confirm the strengthening of population management and make an opening for strengthening household registration management. As for how to strengthen and manage it, then It's another matter. Yang has a lot of means of reform, and he will use them gradually. Now, the key is to solve the problem of whether it is necessary or not. Therefore, he naturally has no good looks towards those who "destroy the building without authorization".

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister is also in favor of strengthening population management..." Chen Yuting said with a blushing face, he had another embarrassment today, the emperor seems to be targeting him!Didn't it mean that the emperor would value him?What exactly is going on?Chen Yuting couldn't figure it out.What came to mind was Cao Yubian's old exhortation.

"Well, is there anyone from the Qing family who has doubts about this issue? If not, then we, the monarchs and ministers, will discuss the next issue mentioned by the Qing family, how to strengthen management..." Yang Reform put the question of how to strengthen management and how to deal with it. The concept of strengthening management has been separated to prevent everyone from procrastinating on how to strengthen management.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the ministers agree..." All the ministers said.

"Well, I am very much in favor and support of this matter. This matter is also very necessary. Speaking of which, hundreds of thousands of fleeing people gathered in the capital, and I gave them hope, so we can't throw them away. No matter what, we can't let them fend for themselves. If that's the case, it's my fault, that's my sin. Speaking of which, the reason why I wantonly repair ditches in the capital city is to give these refugees who fled from the disaster a chance to survive. To do work, let them have something to do, to support themselves, not to take risks because of hunger, do anything unforgivable, and not let them down, and then despair, only in this way can the capital be peaceful, and the world can be peaceful... "Yang Reform explained.

As soon as the emperor's explanation came out, many people looked suddenly enlightened, as if they had just understood the truth.

"Your Majesty is really a holy lord, Your Majesty is really kind..." Immediately, the minister flattered me.

"Your Majesty is wise, it is indeed a blessing that has been practiced for hundreds of years for the people of the world to be protected by His Majesty!" More flattery was sent.

"You don't need to put a high hat on me, you don't have to give them a job. That is the most basic, but there is no guarantee that there will be no problems. The management of this population should be strengthened. Do you have any different opinions? Is it?" Yang Reform made a slight threat.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the ministers and others agree to strengthen population management..." All the ministers said.The emperor took out such a tall hat, and there was nothing more to say.

"That's good. Since all of you are in favor, then this matter is settled like this. Let's talk about the next question, how to strengthen the management of the population..." Yang Reform said, the main premise is settled, that's good done.

The ministers were discussing for a while again. This question seemed to be quite difficult. The Baojia method just now seemed to be relatively unreliable.

After discussing for a while, Yang Reform let everyone speak again.

Shi Fenglai was still acting as a sounding board, completely copying the emperor's words without any new ideas.

The other ministers also had nothing new, except that they disapproved of the use of the Baojia Law. When it comes to finding an effective method, this is the shortcoming of many courtiers, and everyone is moaning.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not..." Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Household Department, finally stood up.

"Oh, just say what the Qing family has to say." Yang Reformed, seeing Bi Ziyan stand up, finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is indeed necessary to strengthen the management of the population to prevent accidents, but how to manage it, I feel that everything is the same. No matter what method is used to strengthen the management of the population, in short, this household registration cannot be bypassed. One thing, I believe that strengthening population management should start with household registration." Bi Ziyan also contemplated for a long time before he said this.

household registration?Everyone was surprised again, did the emperor mean household registration?Strengthening population management is actually strengthening household registration management?This... Many people looked at the emperor in surprise, and they couldn't understand it. Is the emperor going to make such a fuss?
Han Yu was also quite surprised. Based on his understanding of the emperor, he knew that the emperor would not talk nonsense. Seeing that the emperor mentioned the household registration, what he thought was, is the emperor planning to do something about the household registration?This is not a small task!But think about it, it’s not enough, even if you want to do something about the household registration, there may not be any good results. It’s not that the court has not cleared the household registration, but is that useful?Why don't we just copy the previous census and deal with it, could the emperor check it out one by one himself?But think about it, with the shrewdness of the emperor, he will definitely not talk nonsense, nor will he act casually. Once he wants to take action on something, he is afraid that it will be overwhelming, or layer upon layer, before others understand the situation. When the time comes, things will be arranged, and when the time comes, you will have to follow the emperor's path. Since the emperor mentioned the household registration, could it be that the emperor really has the heart to clean up the household registration?Do you really have the ability to clear your household registration?Han Yu dare not say that he is optimistic about the emperor's doing this, but he definitely dare not say that he despises the emperor.

Not only Han Yu thought so, but more ministers also thought so. They didn't believe that the emperor really wanted to clear the household registration, but they definitely didn't dare to doubt the emperor's ability to clear the household registration.

"What the Qing family said makes some sense, keep talking, keep talking..." Yang Reform said happily.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that no matter how we strengthen management, in short, the household registration cannot be bypassed. If the strengthening of population management can be linked with the household registration, it will get twice the result with half the effort. Where the victims need to go to work, just show their household registration and register with the local government. In this way, the court will know exactly how many people are there, where they come from, and what the details are. As your Majesty said, they know how many people there are. , you can calmly arrange work for the people, and release the grain when it is time to release the grain. Even if something happens, it is easy to find the person responsible, and the court will not be caught off guard and be at a loss..." Bi Ziyan said seriously, the emperor What he was talking about was household registration, but today the emperor was talking about population management. Something was wrong. Bi Ziyan thought about it for a while, and he figured it out. He immediately linked population management with household registration.
