The Master of Time and Space, Earn three small goals with blood at the beginning

Many people think that the military recruitment system is not effective in combat, but as long as enough money is provided, the military recruitment system can still have strong combat effectiveness.

Being a soldier and working are the same thing. As long as the money is sufficient, the working people will be motivated.

As for the army with faith, this was impossible for the feudal dynasty to find.

So there is no need to force it.

After Zhang Juzheng’s military restructuring, Ming Dynasty now has a total of one million standing army and 200,000 navy.

This is more than enough.

After all, military technology is several generations ahead of the current situation. Fighting against other countries would be a dimensionality reduction strike.

An army of 1.2 million is enough to deal with all internal and external conflicts.

Moreover, with the current financial abundance of the Ming Dynasty, it can afford to support an army of 1.2 million.

After all, the Song Dynasty had millions of soldiers.

Although the soldiers raised by the Song Dynasty were only at the level of starving to death, and they also received a lot of free pay.

In the Ming Dynasty, the level of raising soldiers was much higher. Each soldier was paid almost three yuan a month, and food and accommodation were also included.

And a year-end bonus was established based on the standard of one yuan a month.

However, there are also corresponding assessments. If those who fail to pass the assessment, the year-end bonus will be reduced. This also allows the soldiers to roll up and practice military skills hard.

Moreover, there is no such thing as empty pay in the Ming Dynasty, because military pay is not distributed by officers, but soldiers go to the relevant yamen of the court to receive it.

These yamen of the imperial court have special audits. Every once in a while, auditors will come to audit. The accounts must be correct. If they are not, they will be beheaded.

In the end, the Ming Dynasty’s current army is well-paid, well-paid, and equipped with excellent equipment that beats the world.

Coupled with the high mobility brought about by the construction of the railway, such an army is naturally capable of fighting well and has achieved great martial arts achievements for Jiang Hao.

As for the reform of the clan, Zhang Juzheng did not show mercy.

The royal family in the Ming Dynasty was treated very well, especially after the Battle of Jingnan. Zhu Di confiscated the military power of the feudal princes and had to make up for it financially. This was almost the same as Zhao Kuangyin releasing his military power with a cup of wine.

But this has become a hidden danger.

Because the vassals of the Ming Dynasty were all raised like pigs, but they had huge wealth, they could only have children in a fancy way. Until now, although there are not the exaggerated number of millions of clans in the late Ming Dynasty, there are still hundreds of thousands.

This became a heavy burden for the imperial court, and there was no point in raising so many idle people.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng, with the support of Jiang Hao, began to cancel the benefits of these vassal kings, so that the vassal kings would not be impoverished, but it was necessary to cut off most of the benefits.

For clans with relatively low ratings, the state will simply not pay them and let them make a living on their own.

Whether you are farming, working as a craftsman, or taking the imperial examination, you have to work anyway. A boss like Jiang Hao can’t see the sand in his eyes, and he can’t bear to see that Ming Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of waste.

After maritime trade flourished, Jiang Hao had a bold idea to let these clans engage in maritime trade.

For those who are unwilling to go overseas, Jiang Hao can give them some capital to open factories and become useful people to society.

In any case, it is to transform into a capitalist.

In this era, which is the early stage of industrialization, capitalists still have some benefits.

At least it can compete with feudal landlords.

Transforming the clan into capitalists can also strengthen the power of the Ming royal family.

It won’t hurt those clans. After all, the reason why capitalists are capitalists is because they have capital, and capital is money.

Of course, this transformation was not smooth at the beginning. Many people were really used to raising pigs and were unwilling to work.

They even went to the Ancestral Temple to cry and protest holding the ancestral tablets.

Jiang Hao turned a deaf ear to this.

Anyway, he is not a descendant of Zhu Yuanzhang, he is just pretending to be Emperor Jiajing, and he has no kinship with these descendants of the Zhu family.

After these people lose their benefits, if they are determined not to work, Jiang Hao would really dare to watch them starve to death.

Facts have proven that even real trash will take action under the threat of starvation.

After seeing that Jiang Hao was really hard-hearted, these clans gave up and could only cooperate with Jiang Hao’s policies and began to transform into capitalists.

But soon they all said, it smells so good!

Being a capitalist is so exciting.

In this era, the market has strong demand, unlike later, which was overproduction. Therefore, whatever is produced can be sold, and this is a net profit.

Opening a factory is a huge profit, and the free money is enough to mobilize people’s subjective initiative.

And for a factory, if the scale is slightly larger, it is normal to have tens of thousands of employees. As a boss, management

Thousands of employees can actually experience the joy of having power.

After all, the imperial court was, to put it bluntly, just a few palaces and yamen. The number of people the emperor could directly control was probably around 10,000 people, and the number of people he could see every day was only about a few hundred.

As a factory owner, he managed as many people as the emperor. Soon, these clans enjoyed it, making money and gaining power.

The happiness of capitalists can never be imagined by workers.

After the Ming Dynasty got rid of the big burden of the clan, its financial expenditures decreased a lot, which was equivalent to a large surplus.

After the clan transformed into a capitalist, they also had to pay taxes, and they could contribute a lot of income to the court’s finances.

This coming and going is equivalent to making a lot of money. Naturally, the imperial court’s finances will become more abundant, and it can do more and more things.

The reform of the clan was recognized as a great success.

Zhang Juzheng’s reforms also included taxation on business.

The Ming Dynasty actually collected commercial taxes, but the taxes were very low, but the burden on merchants was not light, because merchants had to rely on officials and stuff money into them.

Nowadays, the interests of business have far exceeded farming, so Zhang Juzheng established the Taxation Department under the guidance of Jiang Hao.

Specifically tax those businessmen.

The Industrial and Commercial Office was also established.

Specialize in managing these merchants.

When these businessmen are wronged or bullied, they can go to the industrial and commercial yamen and complain that there are a large number of robots in the industrial and commercial yamen. It is really like a selfless existence.

Therefore, the entire business environment has become particularly good, and people will have no complaints if they pay taxes.

The only one who was dissatisfied was the salt merchant, because with the improvement of salt production technology and Jiang Hao didn’t want the people to be unable to afford salt, he directly asked the court to sell salt.

As a result, salt prices continue to fall.

The most wealthy salt merchants in the world during the Ming and Qing dynasties also completely failed to recover.

This is actually a good thing. After all, behind the success of salt merchants, there is “everything is bland”. The common people cannot afford salt, so they can only taste it bland.

Jiang Hao would not allow this to happen.

Now Jiang Hao is the Ming Dynasty. As the Ming Dynasty, he can decide many things, so this matter did not happen.
