Chapter 561: Removing the Old and Renovating

Ying Xiaoxiao led people to clean up the area around the town for more than 70 miles, arrested more than 1,000 natives, and sent them back to the Central Plains to work as laborers. Because the population of the town is small, Ying Xiaoxiao did not continue to toss, but put her mind on immigration and construction.

After what happened last time, Ying Xiaoxiao felt that Ji Yang's subordinates were unreliable, and she decided to train a group of loyal warriors. However, most of the immigrants did not know martial arts, and occasionally a few martial artists were very weak and obviously not enough to train into standard warriors.

According to Ji Yang's current standards, at least the fivefold realm can become a soldier, Ying Xiaoxiao does not ask for such a high standard, the triple realm still needs it. Because the indigenous people of Lizhou are weak as a whole, there is an army of 1,000 people in the triple realm that can almost sweep across the continent.

So Ying Xiaoxiao set up a college in the town, called Lizhou Academy. More than 2,000 immigrant children, all under the age of 12, were enrolled and trained according to the model of the Star Academy.

Ying Xiaoxiao used to teach, so she knew very well how to brainwash, and she personally wrote a basic textbook of political culture with Lizhou characteristics. The textbook is called "Lizhou Volunteers", and it first describes the immigrants as volunteers, who come here voluntarily and without fear of danger in order to open up a beautiful new world.

She described the cause of building the kingdom as extremely noble, and was the first to gain the children's sense of recognition and cultivate their sense of honor. Ying Xiaoxiao describes himself as the leader of the kingdom, leading everyone to come to the New World to build a new homeland, a country free of oppression, no disaster, unity and love, and one heart.

Regarding the future of the new country, Ying Xiaoxiao has added a lot of private goods, striving to cultivate the children's ideals while making them identify with Ying Xiaoxiao as a leader and identify her as the light of hope of the new country.

"Lizhou Volunteer" finally wants to tell the children one thing, Ying Xiaoxiao is the hope of the future and the light of hope. She is the dawn in the darkness, she is the beacon that guides the way, and only she can lead everyone to build a happy and beautiful new country.

Ying Xiaoxiao took more than two months to write this brainwashing textbook, she read it several times, confirmed that there was no problem, and couldn't help but smile proudly. Ying Xiaoxiao seemed to see her own wave of her hand, the millions of troops marched forward bravely, and when she encountered danger, the soldiers around her threw their heads and spilled blood, desperate to protect her this light of hope.

Only I can lead you to build a beautiful and free new country! Ying Xiaoxiao almost brainwashed herself, proud of this noble cause. Of course, she will never engage in the same way as the US imperialists, beauty and freedom can be, and democracy will be forgotten.

Just then, the scouts came back with the shocking news that they had found many extinct indigenous tribes. According to the scouts' investigations, those tribes must have had plagues and other diseases, and they could not resist these diseases, and large numbers died.

Ying Xiaoxiao was afraid that the disease would spread to her town, so she carried out a sanitation treatment and sent a military doctor to investigate. The final results showed that these natives were actually suffering from smallpox, a common disease in the Central Plains.

At this time, the Central Plains had almost popularized the technology of planting cowpox, so the smallpox was suppressed, and the Han people had antibodies. But in this closed continent of Lizhou, the natives have never been exposed to smallpox, and the disease is like death to them.

"We should have brought it here, I didn't expect this to happen." Ying Xiaoxiao didn't know whether to be happy or guilty, in fact, she had always been very distressed about the handling of the natives, because it was impractical to transfer all the natives to the Central Plains, but she couldn't do such a thing as a massacre. Now that smallpox had helped her, it was estimated that the natives would die at an unknown age.

Smallpox quieted the town, and Ying Xiaoxiao personally went to the academy to explain "Lizhou Volunteering". Sure enough, her description of the new kingdom greatly attracted these children, who were like a blank sheet of paper, painted by Ying Xiaoxiao in their own colors.

The small town of Lizhou is indeed more beautiful and harmonious than the children's previous home, so the children quickly agreed with Ying Xiaoxiao's concept. After only a few days of brainwashing, Ying Xiaoxiao found that the children's enthusiasm has increased a lot, and they do not need to be urged by teachers and adults, they will consciously practice martial arts and learn culture hard.

Migration was still ongoing, with a new group of immigrants arriving every month, and the population of Dawn Town soon grew to more than 370,000. The number of students in the academy also increased, and after reaching more than 30,000 children, Ying Xiaoxiao had to open branches in different regions.

In addition to education, Ying Xiaoxiao attaches the most importance to industrial development, and now the Central Plains is promoting the weaving of steelmaking ship cannons, various steam equipment. Lizhou Bay is very rich in fish, and Ying Xiaoxiao first developed the shipbuilding industry.

She got a lot of craftsmen from the Central Plains, Yingzhou and Kangzhou, and there were many craftsmen from all walks of life, and the most shipbuilders. Some of these craftsmen have participated in the construction of the Dongying fleet before, and with the technical support of the Xingzhu Workshop, the town of Lizhou has been able to weave 100-meter boats.

The zinc, lead, gold, silver and other veins in the interior of Lizhou are very rich, Ying Xiaoxiao will certainly not let go, she found two gold mines and five silver mines, collected them for simple smelting, and then sent them to the Central Plains in exchange for various resources.

Now that Lizhou no longer needs a lot of support from Ji Yang, Ying Xiaoxiao can collect various resources and buy the finished products he needs. Ying Xiaoxiao is the emperor's wife and the king of Li, so of course the price is very fair.

Needless to say, in terms of agriculture, the soil in Lizhou is fertile, and the use of steam equipment for farming is efficient, and the yield is high. It only took one year for the town of Lizhou to become self-sufficient and gradually become an independent city.

Spring turned to autumn, and the situation of the Taihao Dynasty basically stabilized, including Kangzhou and Yingzhou.

Before the arrival of the New Year, Ji Yang said the words "resignation and innovation".

The first is the official assessment, which used to be assessed by the official of this yamen, but according to the information reported by the Shadow Pavilion, Ji ** learned that all the yamen below were very bad, and let them evaluate themselves basically all kinds of favoritism.

Although when the country was founded, Ji Yang replaced many corrupt officials and abolished officials, there were still a large number of moths. In order to ensure the fairness of the assessment, Ji Yang began to reorganize the Jinyi Guard a few months ago, and the leader was Xu Yuanyi.

Xu Yuanyi was promoted to congenital last month, and with his current ability, it was too wasteful to run errands under Tong Lu.

Ji Yang's reorganized Jinyiwei is different from the previous one, the biggest difference is the function, the original Jinyiwei is in charge of the prison, giving the right to patrol and arrest, and has a pacification department under it, engaged in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities.

The current Jinyiwei only has the right to reconnoitre, which is equivalent to Ji Yang's eyes and ears, and has no actual lethality.

Ji Yang divided the Jinyi Wei into official clothes and civilian clothes, and the official clothes wore uniforms and investigated openly. Minyi is a plainclothes team, secretly investigating the officials of various yamen in various places, and the two departments supervise each other.

"Xu Yuanyi, this official assessment is supervised by your Jinyiwei, I want to see the most authentic information." Ji Yang said.

"My subordinates understand." Xu Yuan replied.

Jinyiwei supervised the assessment, and many officials were nervous, trying their best to be close to Xu Yuan.

Their approach is nothing more than money, beautiful women, houses and the like, but Xu Yuanyi doesn't care about these at all. As a promising innate master, how could Xu Yuanyi leave a bad impression on Ji Yang for these mundane things.

The official clothing team is clearly supervising and assessing, and the civilian clothing team is secretly observing, and it is almost impossible to cheat.

This year's assessment is the strictest, and when the assessment list is taken, nearly one-third of the officials are unqualified. Then take the list of the two teams of Jinyi and Guard, and the unqualified officials instantly broke through half.

"All inferior classes are deposed, and medium ones are demoted or retained as appropriate." With a stroke of the pen, Ji Yang decided their fate.

In these years, there is no shortage of officials, and a group of people who are waiting to be promoted are dismissed, and a group of young people are appointed as grassroots officials if it is really not enough. Young people are good and bad as grassroots officials, and their advantage is that they are full of enthusiasm and work hard, and they are not so selfish, and their disadvantage is that they have no experience.

According to the report of Jin Yiwei, Chen Juzheng was very seriously corrupt, not to mention all kinds of arrogance, and did not distinguish between public and private, and used his power to do business and make money for his relatives.

Chen Juzheng was the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu when Zhu Ding was the emperor, and later Dugu became the emperor, he quickly surrendered, and then sealed the Taibao. Now that Ji Yang is the emperor, Chen Juzheng is also very soon to surrender, Ji Yang was unprepared at first, so he kept him to do things.

Now that Ji Yang has been preparing for a year, he no longer needs this kind of soft-boned three-surnamed house slave.

The three dukes of the Ming Dynasty had no real power, just a false name, and Chen Juzheng was really powerful in the Ministry of Officials. The official department is called the heavenly official, and is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examination, promotion, transfer, and awarding of civil officials across the country.

The official assessment is the responsibility of the Inspectorate, and the re-examination of the Ministry of Officials shows the importance of the functions of the Ministry of Officials. The ministry held the lifeblood of all officials, and in fact, the power was second only to the first assistant of the cabinet, and he was actually dismissed by Ji Yang.

What's even more terrifying, Ji Yang also dismissed Yan Chang, the first assistant of the former cabinet. The real power of the first assistant of the cabinet is greater than that of the official department, and when the power of the first assistant is the greatest, it can influence the emperor's decision-making power.

Of course, this right is not formal, but is obtained by a certain chief assistant by a special method.

Over the past year, Ji Yang can feel through the review of the folds that Yan Chang's ticket proposal is always mixed with private goods, and the celebrant always reminds Ji Yang intentionally or unintentionally to agree with Yan Chang's ticket proposal.

There is no doubt that Yan Chang must have communicated privately with the celebrant in an attempt to influence Ji Yang's decision-making.

"Yan Chang, you're not too young, you should go home and have a good rest." Of course, Ji Yang would not directly depose Yan Chang, but used this kind of words to remind him that he would resign if he wanted to make a face.

Yan Chang's expression changed greatly when he heard this, his old face was like withered bark, and he finally took off his hat. According to the unspoken rules of the imperial court, Ji Yang should keep him three times, but Ji Yang did not play this set of rules and directly agreed to Yan Chang's resignation.

"Feng Taifu Chenyang is the new first assistant." Ji Yang said.

Chen Yang's qualifications are slightly weaker than Yan Chang's, and although he is not a very good official, he can do practical things to some extent.

"Wu Kun, the secretary of the Ministry of Sealing Industry, is the second assistant of the cabinet." Ji Yang said.

Wu Kun became a waiter in the Ministry of Industry as soon as he came, and with his ability, he was like a fish in water in the Ministry of Industry, and all kinds of infrastructure construction were impressive, and he was soon promoted by Ji Yang to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry has the lowest real power among the six ministries, and Wu Kun is only twenty-seven years old, and many people stand up against it. But Ji Yang's imperial power is too strong, and no matter what they say, they can't change Ji Yang's decision.

"Abolish the Baguwen, starting from this year, the imperial examination will be changed to the examination of the four books and five classics, the arithmetic, astronomy and geography, politics and military, law and economics ten subjects, ranked according to the total score, according to the specialty of the post." Ji Yang said.

It was another big earthquake, and after the news came out, many scholars vomited blood and scolded Ji Yang for going perverse and disrespecting ethics, and some of them scolded for everything.

It's a pity that Ji Yang can't hear the scolding of these people, and even if he hears it, he won't care about their opinions. Many people are stupid when they learn Bagu Wen, and they are asked to take the arithmetic, political and military exams, and they are really embarrassed by the older generation of scholars.

However, the younger generation still has a chance, and from now on, let go of the Baguwen and read useful books.

"The Four Books and Five Books are asked by the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Politics, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Laws, and the Ministry of Military Affairs. The Sixth Ministry quickly came up with a charter, and whatever you do, you will come up with whatever topic, and the cabinet will review it and hand it over to me to see. Ji Yang said.

"Obey." Six ministries and cabinet officials replied.

From the evaluation of officials to the reform of the imperial examination, civil and military officials have been in a state of tension.

Now they can see that Ji Yang doesn't like vain things, he wants talents who can do practical things.

Without waiting for them to breathe a sigh of relief, Ji Yang said again: "I have decided to change the assessment of local officials to three types: total local grain production, total economic output and tax revenue, in addition to merit and virtue. ”

In the past, the evaluation of officials was only based on taxes, and many officials desperately squeezed the people in order to complete their achievements. Now Jiyang wants to calculate the total production of grain and economy, and the total amount cannot be squeezed out, and practical things must be done.

In order to avoid officials reporting large numbers, taxes still have to be counted in the assessment.

"Total food and economic production, how do you calculate this?" The officials were all confused, the government did not go to the countryside, could not manage the township level at all, and could not even figure out how to calculate the total production of acres.

"It's very simple, call each village and town, and the county town will count separately and report it one by one." Ji Yang said.

"The township is remote, if the township gentry cheats, how can the officials of the county manage the following." Chen Yang stood up and said that at this time, there was no government in the township, and the people who helped to collect rent were generally gentry and landlords.

"How to deceive, report less or more?" Ji Yang asked.

"According to the holy law, if you report too much, it's fine, but I'm afraid that the gentry will be punished if the county yamen reports less. Where did the county yamen manage the remote towns and villages, which is very wrong. Chen Yang said.

"I don't believe it, at the end of the year, the old men of the county yamen will die of exhaustion if they go to the countryside." Ji Yang said.

"Wechen should be damned." Chen Yang was so frightened that he immediately bent down and bowed his head.

"But what you said also makes sense, in this way, the only way is for the government to go to the countryside." Ji Yang said.

Why didn't the ancient government go to the countryside? Some say that the tax is not enough to support, and some are inconvenient and difficult to manage.

Ji Yang thinks that it is not a reason, how many big landlords can the countryside support, but how many village officials can it not support? After the government went to the countryside, it had a tighter control over taxes, and naturally received enough taxes.

As for the problem of inconvenient transportation, with Ji Yang's assessment system, they don't dare to mess around.

If you report less, you will be punished, and if you report more, you will pay more taxes, and taxes will be paid proportionally.

As for why the total food and economic production is calculated, it is because I am afraid that the local government will focus on agriculture or commerce. If only the total economic volume is assessed, the government will not be harming the common people if it changes rice to mulberry in order to make money.
