Great Ming National Teacher

The court meeting continued the next day, and this time Li Yunya sat on the rostrum, and the departments under him were several times that of Zhu Youjian, and the handling of things was even more complicated, and it took several days in a row.

Li Yunya first proposed to set up four new departments. The first is the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He wants to reform household registration.

China has a tradition of thousands of years, and the family system has been enduring for a long time. Even after several dynasties, the local entanglement and the faction in the center have always been the biggest threat to the government's rule. Especially when the dynasty changes, some families place bets everywhere , and even turned their backs to the enemy and betrayed the country. For example, there are many family members who are officials in the Ming Dynasty and the Dagan Kingdom, and some even went outside the customs to join the Qing Dynasty.

It is not so easy to weaken the power of the clan. Since the establishment of counties by Qin Shihuang, the administrative power of the government has only reached the county level. At the village level, patriarchs and elders are appointed by the localities to preside over the ruling affairs, and even the handling of human life lawsuits are all within the family. Processing, quite highly compared to homebrew.

Regarding these matters, Li Yunya and Zhu Youjian have discussed dozens of days and nights in the Hall of Zhaohe. The two worked out a plan together to carry out a thorough reform of the household registration system. There are three types of military households, and four types of monks who took the degree card. The household registration restrictions of other walks of life are all cancelled, and they are all classified into these three types.

Private households and countries all distribute land. Li Yunya took [-] mu from Wei Zhongxian at the beginning, and then bought millions of mu one after another, and contributed all of them to the country. In addition to the guards, they were collectively counted as state-owned land. And let the newly established Ministry of Civil Affairs buy land all over the country. All unowned wasteland and mountain land will be automatically nationalized. If there are owners and are willing to sell, they will be purchased at market prices.

After it is nationalized, the ownership of the land will be retained, and the contracting rights will be equally distributed to the local people. All households have the right to share a piece of land. The contract is for five years. After the private households, they can only be cultivated and cannot be used for other purposes, so as to solve the problem of land annexation.

In order to let the gentry voluntarily divide the households, Li Yunya stipulated that the land should be divided according to households. One family, five generations of grandparents and hundreds of people, can only share one share. Multiple copies, this is a lure.

In addition, in terms of agricultural tax, it is fully implemented to share the income per mu, no longer based on the head, but based on the land, one-third of the public grain for each mu of land, and the officials and gentry pay the grain together, regardless of the jinshi lord, the royal family All relatives of the state must pay public food, and Huangzhuang under Zhu Youjian's name will take the lead in paying it!Whoever dares to resist the tax will have their land forcibly nationalized from the second year onwards.

Farmers have land, and military households and artisan households do not divide land, but they are given better treatment and protection. Li Yunya discussed with Zhu Youjian again and again, and decided to continue to use the conscription system instead of the military households. Every male of the right age in military households has the obligation to serve as a soldier. Active soldiers are paid preferentially, officers are allocated housing, and retired soldiers are given pensions. Although it is not much, they can barely get by even if they do nothing. They only need to pay three-tenths of the medical expenses, and military households are regarded as military dependents, and there are also a series of preferential policies.

Cancellation of slavery, all the servants used by each family will be converted from slaves to servants. They belong to an employment relationship and must sign an employment contract. Both parties agree to report to the local police station. They are not allowed to beat and scold at will, let alone put to death. Criminal punishment.

Various household registrations can be converted conditionally. Li Yunya told Zhu Youjian: "Flowing water does not rot, household hubs do not become moths, and the identity of the people of a country must be able to flow both horizontally and vertically, so that the entire country can be dynamic and It's booming."

Zhu Youjian thinks so: "Doctors have a saying, if you understand, you don't feel pain, if you feel pain, you don't understand. In the nearly 300 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there are very few military households that were originally designated." "For example, who is suitable for what to do is not determined by the parents, and the door may not be a tiger, and the smell of books often infuses the sycophants!" Thinking of the group of loyal and patriotic people who always talk about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and who are really serious The officials are angry!

This reform of the household registration system is equivalent to completely tearing apart the clan and family that have been passed down for thousands of years. Even the royal vassals were offended to death. He has been vaccinated repeatedly and worked hard to do Zhu Youjian's ideological work. Zhu Youjian is not a fool and has his own analysis and judgment. In fact, the main thing is that the things that the scholar-bureaucrats have done in the past two years have hurt his heart. Zhu Youjian has already broken his heart, no matter if he donated nothing, or the civil and military heroes rebelled together. If he believes in those people, he will have to be a sleepy city and can’t even pay his military salary. If he believes in Yunya, he can spend every year Sitting and collecting tens of millions of taels of snowflake silver, the iron-like facts prove that following Yunya has meat to eat!

He has decided to run to the dark with Li Yunya!

The second department that Li Yunya wants to set up is the Ministry of Communications, which consists of the Highway Department, Railway Department, Shipping Department, and Post Office. Li Yunya has set goals for them. Within five years, they will build Jingtai, Jingning, and Jingzheng. , four major railways from Beijing to Beijing, and branch lines from Jinan to Qingdao, Zhengzhou to Wuhan, and Nanjing to Fuzhou.

Li Yunya made a budget of 100 million taels of silver every year, to build roads across the country, build provincial roads between provinces, build fast roads between state capitals, and build straight roads between counties, and try our best to speed up The circulation of people's financial resources across the country.

He re-established the inns that were abolished in the early years of Chongzhen, and ensured that there are inns in every county. Guest houses will be built in the stations. No matter who comes to live, they will be charged, but the fees are lower than ordinary inns, and they will be responsible for posting letters. In the future, it will gradually start Post the goods.

The third department that Li Yunya wants to set up is the Bank of China. The minting of coins that has been brewing for almost two years is finally going to become a reality. He and Zhu Youjian jointly pooled 2000 million taels of silver as the capital, and they want to mint [-] million taels of silver. Steel coin.

What the Ming Dynasty is now facing is the increase in goods on the market, but the problem of insufficient coins. It used to print paper money, but it quickly lost its credibility and was abandoned by the people. It could only be terminated in the Zhengde period. It was a big problem to implement it, so Li Yunya chose the next best thing, and chose steel.

The new coin is made of excellent steel, cast in a mold, and stamped once to form it. The front is the Chongzhen Yuanbao, and the back is a five-clawed golden dragon with a diameter of five centimeters. The surface is plated with a layer of gold, which looks golden. Chongzhen Yuanbao is worth ten taels of silver.

The second type is Chongzhen Tongbao with a diameter of three centimeters, with Chongzhen Tongbao on the front and "one circle" printed on the back, worth one tael of silver.

Below the one-round Tongbao is a one-corner Tongbao with a diameter of two centimeters, worth one penny.After that, there is also a penny of Tongbao, which is one-tenth of the previous one, which is almost equivalent to the current standard penny in circulation.

Chongzhen Yuanbao is gold-plated, and Chongzhen Tongbao is all silver-plated. It looks golden and silvery. If you don’t weigh it, it will be the same as pure gold and silver. , or the later electroplating technology, are not up to the standard, even if the Dagan Kingdom or the Manchu Dynasty put all their efforts to counterfeit it, it is impossible to succeed.

The fourth department is the Environmental Protection Agency. As the name suggests, it is responsible for environmental protection. Li Yunya asked to strictly limit the number and scale of heavy polluting enterprises, especially those that burn coal and chemical industry in large quantities. There is also the problem of deforestation. Li Yunya gave environmental protection The department assigned the task of planting trees. In the next five years, a certain number of trees will be planted in northern Hebei, and the Ministry of Public Security will cooperate with the crackdown on indiscriminate felling.

This also involves a series of issues such as desertification in the north and the management of the Yellow River. For the time being, Li Yunya has no way to deal with it in detail. There are too many things, and he really can't worry about it. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you do not do well, you will leave and find someone else to do it.

Other departments have also arranged corresponding tasks. For example, the Ministry of Justice has established courts in various places. In the future, if you want to file a lawsuit, you don’t need to go to the county magistrate. Instead, you will go to the local court to initiate a lawsuit.

The Ministry of Health sets up hospitals, the Ministry of Education builds schools, and the Ministry of Commerce refines commercial taxes...

This time, the court meeting lasted for thirteen days until the end. After the meeting, the various ministries returned to their posts and began to get busy. Li Yunya and Zhu Youjian were fine. They were exhausted these days, especially Li Yunya. Yunya, the two of them rested in the Hall of Zhaohe for a few days, took Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cixuan to fly kites, taught Comrade Zhu Youjian how to play the piano, and the four of them went to the lake to have a barbecue...

Li Yunya smiled and said to Zhu Youjian: "See, you, no matter how smart you are, can't manage such a big country well. You can't do everything yourself, and you have to leave it to others. It’s better than one or two people.”

Zhu Youjian lay comfortably on the grass, with his hands behind his head, and closed his eyes comfortably to bask in the sun: "Well, this is the life an emperor should have, and you don't have to be called a stupid king. Yunya, when will I Only then can I get out of Beijing and go outside to play with you?"

"What's the rush? Haven't you already walked out of the Forbidden City? You can still go to the theater, and no ministers will scold you." Li Yunya took Zhu Cixun to dig earthworms and fish, "If you want to leave Beijing, you have to wait a few years. Just wait until all the ministries are on the right track. We can now take a walk around Beijing, and then we can go to the south, to Yangzhou, to Suzhou and Hangzhou. After a few years, when the steam ship is built, we will go to sea. Look at the legendary blacks and whites, the black ones are blacker than the ones crawling out of coal piles, the white ones are whiter than women who have powdered them, they have blond hair and red hair, blue eyes, green eyes, there are all kinds of strange things anyway, And African lions, giraffes, kangaroos, and, yes, the platypus, which has the hard shell of a duck and the fur."

"With a waist of [-] guan, ride a crane to Yangzhou!" Zhu Youjian murmured, "There is a heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Alas, when Emperor Wuzong took advantage of King Ning's rebellion to go to the south of the Yangtze River, he was condemned by both verbal and pen. For many years, he has been choreographed to molest women from good families, what do you think I will be programmed in the future?"

"Hasn't it already been edited?" Li Yunya chuckled, "Whatever they say, you didn't see my eight big characters on the Academia Sinica building, but do good deeds, don't ask about the future', and the cabinet building 'Empty talk harms the country, hard work rejuvenates the country', anyway, we only want to enjoy ourselves, so let them piss off."
