After sending Cui Mingji away, Zhu Youxiao sat down in his place again, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to recuperate. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a busy few months, it's August. The summary of various key tasks was constantly replayed in his mind, slowly connecting together.

The navy fleet has purchased grain smoothly, and now it has carried three batches of 300,000 quintals of grain back, which is only the grain from the Southern and Northern Dynasties of Annam and Champa and other places, as well as Siam Chenla and other places are slowly getting in touch with transportation, and this batch of grain can greatly make up for the shortage of domestic grain.

What's more, there is a lot less loss in transportation, you can go directly from the south to the north, and to Tianjin Port, from here to the outside of the customs, there have been two or three major cement trunk roads built successfully, under the four-wheeled carriage, the transportation is extremely convenient, and the loss is far less than the previous manpower transportation.

With this batch of grain and an endless supply of grain in the future, the shortage of grain in the north can finally be effectively alleviated, and the biggest drawback after the abolition of the agricultural tax has also been solved. In the Ming Dynasty, the agricultural tax of three or four million taels was not placed in Zhu Youxiao's eyes at all, and what really made him value was the mature grain collection system.

If the agricultural tax is abolished, there will be no grain, but this gap behind it really exists, but with the grain supplement of Nanyang and the transshipment of Tiangong firm, it can be made up.

Moreover, with the support of overseas food, Zhu Youxiao is not afraid of making a big move against the south. Unexpected and timid, due to the need for food, now it doesn't have to be like this, even if it turns the world upside down.

The construction of the three customs ports is also very smooth, and the shelves of the customs have also been erected, and even the Guangzhou Customs, which Zhu Youxiao is most disoptimistic about, was quickly established under the bloody killing of Hong Chengchou after borrowing soldiers and horses, and now he uses the small warships of Portugal as anti-smuggling ships, going to sea every day to crack down on smuggling trade, and letting these smugglers register and pay taxes at the customs.

Even, he took advantage of the east wind of the naval fleet to send personnel to Feifu Port to publicize, saying that there is a large amount of silk porcelain tea here in the Guangzhou Customs of the Ming Dynasty, which is supplied in unlimited quantities, and it really allowed him to bring a lot of foreign trade merchant ships. The situation of Guangzhou Customs was quickly reversed, and it even became the largest trade volume among the three major customs.

The customs in Shanghai, due to the rampant trade of the three kings of the East China Sea and the cutting off of the trade routes of the Spanish merchants in Manila, there was no trade for the time being, so the situation has not been opened.

However, the country's trade in Shanghai is indeed extremely luxuriant, all kinds of leather and mountain goods in the north, all kinds of cotton and silk in the south, which makes Lu Xiangsheng, who collects taxes, smile from ear to ear.

In the context of the entire Ming Dynasty's commercial taxation, he was the first to improve the system and collect the most taxes.

However, although the commercial tax in other counties is small, at least all kinds of shelves have been built, but at present, the officials are not very familiar with it, and after a period of time, I believe that the commercial tax can be collected. What's more, now that all the money from the local treasury comes out of this commercial tax, no matter how big the protective force is, it can't resist the collective will of the entire officialdom.

Even a few corrupt Confucians in the Hanlin Academy shouted every day that this was a competition with the people, but after cutting off the salaries for a few months, especially the high salaries after the reform, they kept posting articles in the Imperial Daily to advocate for commercial taxes. In this form, all parts of the country, commercial taxation is the fastest and smoothest.

After all, officials also have to eat?

In the same way, the plan of the imperial power to go to the countryside was carried out smoothly, no matter how great the obstacles of the local clan forces and the landlords and gentry were, but under the temptation of official hats, any obstacle was not a problem, and even many of the squires themselves became local village chiefs and the like.

Although the rapid implementation of grassroots government will bring bad consequences for a period of time, but under the general trend, these are nothing. Maybe those squires thought that after they became the township mayor and town mayor, they would be able to rely on the power of the government to do evil in the countryside, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Examination Department would tell them what it meant to open the yamen.

Compared with the rapid progress of these two basic national policies, the land reform, which is also the three basic national policies, is indeed painless, and even Hebei has not crossed the past at present, which is in stark contrast to the rapid completion of land reform in North Korea.

Although the land reform was made by Zhu Youxiao after many hesitations, he was actually not sure whether to carry it out or not, but now that it has been carried out, no matter what, it must be progressed.

The path you choose is to be completed even if you are on your knees.

This is the concept that Zhu Youxiao has always pursued in his previous life, not to mention that now, when he becomes an emperor who is full of words, what he says and promulgates must be implemented to the end.

There are not many documents from the cabinet for this work, but Xu Guangqi has some reports from time to time, but from these reports alone, he can feel the great resistance inside.

Even in the cabinet of which he was a confidant, there was such a mutiny, and with the connection of officials in the center of the world, many conspiracies of opposition forces formed a single body to secretly oppose the work of land reform.

The most hateful thing is that the Jinyi Wei who is now located in China really can't catch the tail of his hand at all, just knowing that someone is conspiring to form an association, there is really no conclusive evidence, not even a specific person, which makes Zhu Youxiao very angry.

He thought that after the last time Nanzhili put down the rebellion, Luo Sigong cleaned the Jinyiwei again, and it would get better, but in the end, it was still like this, and the local Jinyiwei was almost corroded, so that there was no useful news now.

There is a problem with the cabinet, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is not bad, Mongolia has stopped a lot, and the nest is not moving on the side of the Naturalization City, I heard that it is fighting in the nest. This made the revocation of the border town very smooth, without foreign enemies, Sun Chengzong did not have to scruple so much, under the hussar army of 10,000 iron cavalry, the border town was almost unstoppable, and they were disarmed and returned to the field, selected and strong, and trained into a city defense army.

Now that Shanxi has returned to normal, Shaanxi and cheaper Gansu are next. In the past, it was the sphere of influence of the right-wing Mongols, and these places had to wait until Zhu Youxiao came back to carry out military strikes.

However, Sun Chengzong also faced a problem, that is, there was no money and no one. The dismantling of the guard posts and border towns all cost money, and the severance pay of personnel, the unpaid military salaries, as well as all kinds of resettlement expenses, the military expenses of the city defense army, and so on, all have to be used up, and the previous three million taels have been used up, and there is still a big gap left.

No money is just a small problem, just ask Wang Chengen to approve it, but no one is much more serious. The formation and training of the urban defense force is not just a matter of selecting people, which requires a large number of instructors and grassroots officers. Perhaps the highest position of city defense general can be temporarily suspended, but not without junior officers.

And the grassroots officers in Sun Chengzong's hands have always been retired from the Central Field Army due to injuries, and with these descendants of Zhu Youxiao holding military power below, he can rest assured that he will hand over the right to this training to Sun Chengzong, otherwise, he will not be able to sleep at night.

Who knows when, the army below will change its nature, and it will be the first to raise an anti-flag against him another day.

Zhu Youxiao may be able to continue to calm down and see if there are any rats jumping out, but the matter of the city defense army completely makes him unable to sit still, and he just wants to return to Daming as soon as possible and transfer a group of soldiers to go down.

"Wang Yetai, pass on my military order, and return to the dynasty in three days!" After being silent for a long time, Zhu Youxiao suddenly opened his eyes and commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Yetai, who was guarding outside the door, immediately entered, began to write military orders, sealed them with seals, and then sent them to several major generals.

Daming, the imperial capital, the capital of Beijing, the prince of the country.

As the highest university in the central government, it has always been a place where literati gather, but now, it is even more prosperous, and most of the students from all over the country who are interested in officialdom are now gathered here.

Of course, the highest of them here is only the fame of Xiucai, and the big competition in the first half of this year made all the people who raised them arrest by the emperor and made them officials, and only these high-level and low-level Xiucai remained.

Of course, there are also talented people among these people, but most of them are relatively sluggish, they did not notice the changes last year, and they did not participate in the autumn of the first year of the Apocalypse after taking the examination steadily, so that they could not catch up with the great changes in officialdom in the first half of this year, and they did not get mixed with an official and a half-position.

However, these people were not discouraged, but donated a sum of money and entered the Guozijian, wanting to feel the changes in the scientific expedition up close. In the case that the commercial tax has just been rolled out and the tax revenue is insufficient, the Ministry of Culture and Culture, which manages the Guozijian, is naturally financially constrained, and in the face of such a comparison of money, even Yang Lian, who has always been upright, accepted it with one eye and closed one eye, and then issued it to the officials under his hands.

Today's Guozijian can be said to have changed greatly, and the sacrificial wine supervisor in it doesn't know how to teach, so in the face of the unknown scientific examination, he came to ask Yang Lian, and Yang Lian is not ambiguous, and pulls out a bunch of books for the students of Guozijian to study.

Zhang Zai's Guan Xue in the Song Dynasty, Wang Yangming's Mind Study, these are quite normal, although there is no Zhu Xi's science, but no matter how it is, it is also Confucianism orthodoxy, which is not excessive.

But the next one almost made the sacrificial wine nose crooked, what is the book of agricultural administration?

Oh, it's a book written by Xu Guangqi today, which is about agriculture, well, this answer makes the sacrificial wine barely hold his nose and endure it. However, what the hell is Tiangong Kaiwu, what is written on it, all of them are small people, and the technology of iron weaving must also be learned?

What is this is a discipline formulated by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it must be learned, and there will be this subject in the imperial examination at that time.

Well, learn. The sacrificial wine pinched his nose again.

However, the next book made the teachers of the Guozijian almost jump, what are these ghost drawing talismans? What is this math? Don't bully me for not reading much, I've spent nine chapters of arithmetic, and I've also calculated the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage, which are all written in Chinese characters, and it's not the stuff of these Taoist priests.

However, in the face of the blond and blue-eyed foreign missionaries, these teachers were again defeated, and the culture was different, how to debate.

At this point, under a meal of books, Guozijian has completely changed its style, and when the school starts, the new batch of inmates are facing these disciplines that they have never heard of.

When I opened the book, many people felt that they had become illiterate, otherwise I knew why these words were taken apart, but I didn't understand any meaning when they were put together.
