Because of the end of the First Five-Year Plan, the 10th year of Jianwen will be destined to be written into Chinese history, including world history.

This is definitely the first country under the sky to implement and complete the planned policy.

A great country built by 70 million intelligent and industrious people through sweat, struggle, and hard work.

As the head of the ten departments, the Ministry of Officials was the first to stand up and report, and Xu Buji, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, had just cleared his throat when he heard Zhu Yunwen speak first.

"Zhu Qing sit down and say."

Left and right, more than a dozen little eunuchs have moved more than a dozen Taishi chairs, not only that, but a coffee table has been added between every two Taishi chairs, and hot tea and snacks are served.

This debriefing will not be short.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

More than a dozen people bowed down to thank them, and then sat down according to their identities.

After they all sat down, Xu Buji continued to speak.

"Your Majesty, since the beginning of the sixth year of Jianwen's 'First Five-Year Plan of the Ming Dynasty', the Ministry of Officials has sent inspection and inspection teams to local provinces four times in order to fully implement the "Regulations on the Application of Imperial Court Officials and Officials, Ding Wei, Suspension, and Expulsion".

A total of more than 17,400 redundant officials at the provincial, provincial, and county levels and who were over the line of age were eliminated, and 5,800 vacancies in the six provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Jiaozhi were filled.

Every year, the pass rate of chief officials of the Beijing inspection and provincial inspection reaches 96 out of 100, and the unqualified chief officials have drafted a list in accordance with the procedures of the Ministry of Officials and submitted it to the cabinet for approval and dismissal.

The pass rate of chief officials and officials at all levels in local government and county inspections is 91 out of 100, and a total of more than 13,000 unqualified officials have been eliminated.

At present, except for the three cities under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, such as Moting Sanduhu, Jiaozhi, and Taiwan, which have not yet been investigated, the remaining provinces have all completed a comprehensive inventory, and the officials have lived up to their expectations and fully completed the First Five-Year Plan with the help of the cabinet, the assistance of various ministries, and the cooperation of all provinces. ”

Officials are the foundation of the country, and the state-owned world needs to be governed first.

Over the past five years, the total number of officials at all levels has reached more than 30,000, and this number has almost reached 20 percent of the entire Ming official system.

However, soon, relying on the more mature local provincial examination system, this batch of differences was quickly made up, ensuring the normal operation of the government affairs of the local provincial government and county three-level yamen.

And the new officials who passed the provincial examination were not the group of traditional scholars and Confucian scholars who were ten years or before the First Five-Year Plan.

This is a group of sincere young people who took the test with "Jianwen Dictionary" and "Jianwen Emperor's Quotations Collection".

They don't just shout slogans, they also know what it means to be local and what it means to be politically innovative.

It is to be expected that as this group grows and grows, a steady stream of new similar groups will pour into the Ming political arena to enrich the local officialdom, and the traditional bureaucratic system that has been maintained for nearly 2,000 years in China will completely collapse and be transformed.

What are the characteristics of China's 2,000-year-old traditional bureaucracy?

It is to use the bureaucratic system as a public instrument of the state and society to carry out general rational governance, but this so-called rational governance has non-institutionalized characteristics.

From the Han Dynasty's filial piety and honesty system, the Wei and Jin dynasties' nine-rank Zhongzheng system, the Sui and Tang dynasties' imperial examinations and gate valves, the Song Dynasty's Gongtianxia, and the Yuan and Ming dynasties' Cheng Zhu Lixue, all of them were non-institutionalized bureaucratic systems.

This kind of bureaucratic system has a strong circle and mountain characteristics, they are stubborn and powerful, and have strong autonomy and operational ability, and there are many examples of the Ming Dynasty where the emperor does not go to court, but the state still operates normally and effectively.

This is the fundamental reason why there will be a hierarchy of power to suppress imperial power.

It is the great emperor that has emerged for thousands of years, but the reform system left behind is often the crux of his death.

Some people will worry that after Zhu Yunwen's death, the reforms he left behind will disappear and let the traditional system revivenation, which will inevitably happen, and Zhu Yunwen himself will not have any illusions that the Ming Empire can ensure that he will still implement his will for hundreds of years after his death.

However, during the years of his reign, the Imperial Decree Department strictly inspected the bureaucratic system and continuously added new reserves into the bureaucratic system, which at least guaranteed that even after Zhu Yunwen's death, the new scholars who studied the spirit of the speech he left behind would still carry out his will to every corner of the Ming Empire.

Even if this group begins to blacken in the future, and a new bureaucratic class is gradually formed, it will no longer matter how much power is used in political operations.

Because the Ming society at that time must have changed its face and embarked on the road that Zhu Yunwen wanted to see.

Therefore, the work of the Ministry of Officials is not like that of the Ministry of Household and other data-based authorities, which can intuitively reflect the achievements in the form of numbers, but it has always been the top priority in Zhu Yunwen's eyes and heart, and it is also the place where he has devoted the most effort, including participating in the compilation of the two works "Jianwen Dictionary" and "Jianwen Emperor Quotations Collection".

It stands to reason that at the end of the year, all the tax silver and tax grain of the provinces will be escorted into the official warehouse at the foot of Nanzhili, and the official records of the provinces will be checked with the official records of the provinces, and they will be sent to the cabinet as a fixed number after they are confirmed.

However, this time, the household department did not plan to report the income of money and grain, and only reported the two hard indicators of land and Dingkou.

"Counting all provinces in the country, there are 7.7 million hectares of land and more than 73.14 million acres of Dingkou."

Are these two sets of numbers exploding?

Quite explosive!

Whether the authenticity of this data is credible is based on whether the foundation of the Hongwu Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty is really strong.

The main sources of evidence on this point are the "Ming Shilu", "Household Ministers' Duties", "Daming Huidian", "History of the Chinese Population", "History of the Chinese Population", "History of Geography" (not geography in the modern sense, but the history of the development of a specific region in ancient times) and the number of conscripts to be served and the number of grain taxes recorded in the provincial government records to corroborate each other.

In a series of provincial documents compiled and summarized by later generations, such as "Ming Shilu Huguang Historical Materials", "Ming Shilu Jiangxi Historical Materials", "Ming Shilu Zhejiang Historical Materials", etc., although these data are biased and inconsistent, they can still be corroborated by each other in general.

In the last years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the registered population of the Ming Dynasty reached 60 million (65 million), the number of acres of land was 4 million hectares (excluding the fields of military households and guards), and more than 30 million stones were actually endowed.

The foundation can be said to be quite thick, and it can be called the peak of national strength in the nearly 300 years of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of the chaos in the fourth year of Jingnan, the population of Yongle in the second year was only 51 million.

In the record of "Ming Shilu", this civil war directly led to the destruction of life in Hebei, Shandong, Nanzhili and other places, Zhu Laosi's attack on Shandong was resentful because of the strong resistance of Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan, although the "Taizong Record" did not record that Zhu Laosi had slaughtered the city, but admitted that after stealing the throne, Zhu Laosi carried out harsh conscription on the people of Shandong, and there were many people who died of exhaustion and starvation in various fortifications.

And the men were conscripted into labor, and the old and weak in the family were starved to death.

'A husband is in prison, and his house is abandoned'. Conscription is much better than imprisonment, and even exceeds.

This directly triggered the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in the land of Qilu.

After all, this is a book edited by Mr. Qian, who was born in the late Manchu Dynasty, at least there are quite serious problems in the deviation of authenticity and self-contradiction, for example, in the population of the late Ming Dynasty, the population of the Ming Dynasty recorded in China's economic history is only 21.06 million, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty entry is 19 million, which covers up the crime in this way.

This is a huge gap of more than 100 million with the "Daming Huidian" and "Ming Shilu".

And there are many contradictions, in this book, it is mentioned many times that the previous dynasties before the Qing Dynasty, the population will basically not exceed 1 to 20 million, the reason is that the system is backward, the officials do not sympathize with the people, and a lot of responsibility issues, and the Qing Dynasty has a population of 40,000,000, and the silver was once nearly 100 million, which is simply the perfect ruling dynasty and the prosperous era.

But Mr. Qian himself may have forgotten that when he copied the Book of Sui, he wrote down the national population of the Sui Dynasty during the opening of the Sui Dynasty as 'nearly 60 million'.

Including mentioning the early days of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the national tax and Dingkou also increased slightly.

When writing about the two prosperous eras of Tang Zhenguan and Kaiyuan, he also said, "The prosperous era of Tang has restored the level of the Sui Kaihuang Dynasty." ’

This is enough to show that the number of Dingkou in the Sui and Tang dynasties has exceeded the 60 million mark.

Even the Yuan Dynasty repaired the history of the Song Dynasty, admitting that the prosperity and wealth of the Southern Song Dynasty far surpassed that of the Sui and Tang dynasties, with more than 10,000 mouths, which Mr. Qian turned a blind to.

Before the Qing Dynasty, there was no one with a population of more than 20 million. ’

Well, I don't know if he's embarrassed or not.

It is not denied that the Yongzheng Emperor's policy of collecting grain in one body and apportioning the land into mu stimulated the population, and the state's relaxation of personal control over the people made the population explode to the positive credit, but so blind denying the achievements of the Han dynasties in previous dynasties, and did not see the Manchu Emperor Puyi of the Manchu Dynasty, who was once restored in the three eastern provinces, a university scholar title.

"The summary of the household department, I remember that the cabinet at that time recommended the apportionment of the provinces, right?"

Zhu Yunwen asked with a smile: "Which province is the most top-notch in terms of the achievements of each province?" ”

"Shanxi and Jiangxi."

Hubu Shangshu Qi took out a 'report card' and reported: "Among them, Shanxi has the largest increase in the number of Dingkou, an increase of more than 1.34 million people compared with the sixth year of Jianwen, and Jiangxi has the largest increase in the number of acres of fields, with more than 300,000 hectares more than 300,000 hectares above its survey. ”

The interests of the coal merchants in Shanxi and the local gentry in Jiangxi can be said to have been completely ruined by the First Five-Year Plan.

The only pity is that I haven't seen these two provinces jump out to make a rebellion.

Otherwise, you can also take advantage of the trend to hit the landlord and divide the land.

"With this achievement, Zhu Qing and I will pass away now, and I can laugh at the ancestors and ancestors with their heads held high!"

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but express such emotion, Xia Yuanji and Qi Zhu got up with a smile on their faces to flatter.

"Zhilong Tang and Song Dynasty, Your Majesty's merits, Degai through the ages!"

"Your Majesty's merits, Degai through the ages!"

The big guys are scrambling to keep up with this sycophant, the name of the first emperor through the ages can be regarded as Zhu Yunwen, sitting on porcelain!

(I looked up the data for this chapter for a day, and made a little literary exaggeration on the basis of historical facts.) ）
