Although Nanjing was bustling and Liang Daoyi wanted to spend a few days in the city, he actually left Nanjing in a hurry after meeting with the cabinet and attending a cabinet meeting with his entourage, and boarded a ship back to Palembang.

In the end, it is still a matter of nation-building.

Along with Liang Daoyi is Xue Ke, the latter is in command of the expedition, the army has been assembled in Quanzhou Port, Hsinchu, just wait for Xue Ke to arrive, the Ming Dynasty's Xuanhe Wang Division will start a journey, with force to survey the Nanyang countries, for Liang Daoyi's Nanhua founding to remove obstacles.

"After the South China affair is over, the army and Liang Daoyi's army will join forces and go directly north to Japan, and I will only see the good news."

The military orders of Zhu Yunwen and the General Staff have reached Xue Ke's hands, and Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di will no longer worry about and interfere too much about specific command matters.

Neither of them had time to care about whether the conquest of a small Japan would succeed.

There are more important things in Daming.

The end of the Second Five-Year Plan!

With the arrival of the commanders of the provincial provinces and the commanders of the group armies of the various localities after the reorganization of the capital divisions, Zhu Yunwen has already attended three or four meetings as observers in the auditorium on East Chang'an Avenue, and each time he sat from morning to evening.

The report card of the Second Five-Year Plan is quite eye-catching, completely exceeding the requirements of the plan when it was formulated, and even raising the actual results several times, among which the main contributor to the smooth success of the Second Five-Year Plan of the Ming Dynasty is naturally India.

"Since the signing of the Ming-India Agreement and India's accession to the Ming Union, more than 2.4 million laborers, 478 million stones of grain, 1.1 million catties of gold, and countless silver, iron, copper, and coal have been provided to the Ming Dynasty in three years."

The degree branch set up in India is the largest degree branch of the Quanming Federation, with nearly 1,500 degrees of branches, otherwise they would not be able to order such a large amount of various materials, in order to transport these materials from India to the mainland, the imperial court did not know how many ships of sea ships were leased from the coastal chamber of commerce.

The shipbuilding order placed by the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce to the Pearl River Port is a full 200 ships in one go.

Capital promotes development, the development of the navigation industry of the Ming Dynasty, and the huge number of sea vessels, which has already been more than 20 times that of the first year of Jianwen.

The ancient saying is that hundreds of boats compete for the current, not to mention the benchmark Quanzhou Port, even the Hsinchu Port in Taipei has thousands of ships a day.

Sometimes Zhu Yunwen would sigh with emotion when he went to Longjiang Shipyard to inspect the launching of sea ships.

"The Age of Discovery has begun."

There are many ships and materials, and more manpower is needed for loading and unloading, and the coastal provinces have completed the transformation of production and social form without waiting for the imperial court's order to return farmland.

Who still lives by farming?

As soon as the common people sold their land and pooled some money to buy a multi-delicate machine, the women weaved cloth and garments at home, and the men did hard work outside or found some other livelihood, and the life of the two of them was not much better than digging in the field.

"Last year in Quanzhou, a total of 167 villages in the suburbs of the city were cancelled."

The new Fujian political envoy raised his eyebrows and reported on his achievements at the meeting: "In Fujian, more than 300 villages, more than 20,000 households and more than 100,000 people have moved from the suburbs of the city to Fucheng to seek new jobs, and the number of households in Quanzhou has increased from 430,000 five years ago to 700,000 today!"

Last year, people from all walks of life in Quanzhou paid a total of 4.58 million taels of actual tax and 12.6 million taels of commercial tax, with a total production value of 67 million taels, accounting for 60 percent and a half of the entire province of Fujian. ”

Gross production value, also known as gross national product, is known as GDP.

The GDP of Fujian Province can be regarded as breaking 100 million yuan, after all, more than 30 million yuan in taxes.

The total number of households in the whole country in Daming is only 200 million, and Fujian Province alone accounts for one-seventh.

"In addition to the soaring GDP, corruption has also risen."

Yang Shiqi deliberated on the report handed in by Fujian, closed the notebook and asked: "Last year, the Bank of Fujian lent out more than 300 million yuan, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigated and dealt with more than 100 cases of corruption, bribery, and kickbacks. ”

This merciless face-to-face reprimand and questioning made all the officials participating in the meeting in Fujian sweat in cold sweat and unspeakable.

"Don't come to Nanjing to make a report, just report the good news and not the bad news, the results should be released, what do you officials do if you don't get results? What did the court do for you? ”

The new bachelor Xu Buji spoke much more ugly than Yang Shiqi, knocking on the table and directly splitting his head and covering his face.

"Last year, Quanzhou carried out new city construction, in order to accommodate the people in the countryside and suburbs to enter the city, imitated Guangdong to build new buildings, demolished everywhere and built everywhere, housing prices soared, forced demolition everywhere, there were more than 30 bloody cases, and the number of deaths and injuries was as high as 70!

Businessmen are domineering, law enforcement is presumptuous, and power is domineering, and you still have the face to come to Nanjing with this report card to make a high-sounding report, and reach out for credit? Look at this notebook, how much blood has been shed between the lines, and how many souls are hidden! ”

At the end, Xu Buji slapped the table, and even Yang Shiqi next to him was startled.

The forehead of the Fujian political envoy couldn't stop sweating, but he didn't dare to wipe it, Xu Buji was still holding the position of the secretary of the ministry, he was afraid that if he moved, the official hat would fly.

"They are all rampant at the bottom, and the political envoys have brought these lawbreakers to justice, arrested more than 300 people before and after, and after verification by Dali Temple, 170 people were executed to ensure that no fish slipped through the net."

The Ming Dynasty is strict, and although the amount of corruption and bribery is much higher than the Hongwu year's mark, it must not exceed twice the rank of the emperor.

If it is exceeded, it will be the head on the ground.

The peeling grass is gone.

The marking line is high, but the Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty of Hongwu Year, the province of Fujian's huge wealth, the huge amount of money can be called massive, and 100 million 200 million is no longer an unimaginable astronomical number.

This has led to a spike in the number of officials beheaded for violating national law.

"Don't put any responsibility on the people below, you political envoys and prosecutors have not fulfilled their supervisory duties, leadership duties, and vigilance duties, and you must bear leadership responsibility."

Xu Buji's previous scolding was also raised high and fell down gently: "So this year's officials, the chief officials of Fujian Province with more than four grades, are all rated bad." ”

At this moment, the faces of all the officials in Fujian were miserable, and they even almost cried out aggrieved.

The officials and officials inspect the four grades of good and inferior.

The evaluation is the best, and promotion will be arranged within one year, even if it is good, there will be a chance of promotion within three years.

Not only will the opportunity for promotion be canceled, but if it is still inferior or inferior in the next year, it will be directly deposed and rolled home to farm.

If you can't offset the evaluation in the second year, even if it is good, you will not consider promotion in this life, and once you have a follow-up career, there is even one secondary or inferior evaluation, you will be directly dismissed and expelled.

The strict inspection of officials and the inspection system that the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to implement also made some rumors begin to appear in the provincial officialdom under the Ming Dynasty.

"In the past, the people were not able to make a living, but now the officials are not making a living."

But Xu Buji has always been dismissive of this kind of negative dissatisfaction, and when the officials held a meeting, he directly said this to the chief officials of the provincial bureaucratic departments.

"As long as they don't want to do it, they can resign."

But the actual situation is that these officials are scolding, and at the same time, they are working harder into their work.

In Daming, as long as you can be an official, no matter how bad it is, there are people who want to break their heads.

In countries where officials have been in the standard for thousands of years, it is always better to be an official than to be a citizen.

Even if this official has to eat grass and milk cows every day, it is the most decent position.

The officials in Fujian slipped off the reporting platform, followed by the chief officials of the other provinces, while Zhu Yunwen sat quietly and listened quietly, rarely expressing his opinions.

Everything in the country is now on the right track, and development, construction, supervision, and standardization are all on this right track.

There are several people in the cabinet, all of whom are capable ministers and virtuous ministers, and these people are fully capable of controlling the game of chess.

The meeting to deliberate on the achievements of the provinces lasted for two consecutive days before it was concluded, and the provinces were basically scolded by Xu Buji, some of them lightly, and some of them were scolded harshly.

But scolding and scolding, in the end, it is a child of his own family, and he always has to give a piece of sweet jujube to eat after beating the stick.

On behalf of the cabinet, Xia Yuanji submitted a petition to the emperor Zhu Yunwen at the congress.

"Second addition!"

In view of the development of the Ming Dynasty today and the abolition of taxes in kind, the current official rank issued in the first year of Jianwen is obviously a bit out of date, so I hope that it can be increased.

This matter had already been reported to Zhu Yunwen by the cabinet before the conference, so the latter was not surprised, and after Xia Yuanji explained the new plan for each product, he happily approved it.

It is still nine grades and eighteen grades, but in view of the fact that there are many new offices in the Ming Dynasty and the classification is not clear, it is also clarified in this petition.

"Zhengyi Pinyi, the scholar of the Three Palaces, the chief of the general staff, the five governors of the Five Military Governments, the Minister of Industry and Commerce, the chief academician and president of the Hanlin Academy, the chief academician of the Academy of Sciences and the president of the academy, a total of 12 people, received an annual salary of 8,000 taels.

From the first grade of the Yipin, the rank of university sergeant, deputy chief of general staff, five right governors of the five military offices, vice ministers of industry and commerce, and the head of the imperial front department, a total of ten people, received an annual salary of 7,000 taels.

Zheng Erpinyi, the Ministry of Shangshu, the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, the Dali Temple, the Left Chief of Staff of the General Staff Office, the five Zuo Du Commanders of the Five Military Offices, the President of the Head Office of the Daming Bank, the Vice President of the Hanlin Academy, the Deputy of the Academy of Sciences, and the Deacon of the Clear Rank of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, received an annual salary of 5,000 taels.

From the second grade of the Yi, the left squire of each department, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, the adjutant of Dali Temple, the right chief of staff of the General Staff Office, the five right commanders of the Fifth Military Government, the vice president of the head office of the Daming Bank, and the deacon of the clear rank of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, received an annual salary of 4,500 taels.

Zhengsanpinpinyi, local officials and officials of institutions directly under the central government, receive an annual salary of 4,000 taels.

From the three grades of the product, the annual income is 3,500 taels.

is the fourth grade of the product, and the annual income is 3,000 taels.

From the four grades of the product, the annual income is 2,500 taels.

is a five-grade product, and the leader is 2,000 miles.

From the five grades of the product, the annual income is 1,700 taels.

is six products of Yi, the annual income of 1,400 taels.

From the six grades of the product, the annual income is 1,100 taels.

is a seven-grade product, and the annual income is 800 taels.

From the seven grades of the product, the annual income is 500 taels.

is eight products and Yi, and the annual income is three hundred taels.

From the eight grades of the product, the annual income is two hundred and fifty taels.

is nine products and Yi, and the annual income is two hundred taels.

From the nine pins of the product, the annual income is one hundred and eighty taels.

For the officials of the ministries directly under the central government, the annual salary of the ungraded is 100 taels. For local officials, the annual salary of the ungraded is 50 to 80 taels.

Yingtianfu, Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Beipingfu, and Fengyang Fuming were classified as positive three products, and Quanzhou and Guangzhou were classified as cabinet-directly governed provinces.

The local upper prefecture, the middle prefecture, the lower prefecture and the upper county, the middle county, the lower county, etc., are all abolished according to the number of acres of Dingkou field, and the administrative region level is vertically five levels: province, government, county, township, and village.

The left political envoy is the positive three products, and the right political envoy is from the three products; The prefect is the five products, and the same knowledge is from the five products; The county officials in charge of different ownership, such as the county order is the sixth product and the supplementary main book, are the county deputy and are determined to follow the six products; The official of the township is the eighth grade, and the deputy is from the eighth grade; There is no quality recommended by the village head, clan elders, etc., but according to the amount of village endowment, the proportion of the payment can be used as a salary.

The central ministries have vertical administrative jurisdiction, and the ranks are ministries, departments, divisions, and sections.

The cabinet is placed in the ministry, the provinces and departments, the prefectures and the counties.

Compared with the former, the rank of the chief official is reduced to one grade, the division is the fourth grade, the department is the sixth grade, and the department is the seventh grade. ”

After the completion of the administrative rank restructuring of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Shiqi also took the call, and announced in his capacity as the acting minister of political affairs appointed by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty that the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the General Staff Headquarters, the Ministry of Education, and the commanders of various group armies were newly assigned to the ranks.

One errand, two jobs.

In this petition of the new Jialu, of course, the cabinet ministers and the officials who were on the same two errands of the Ming Union and the Ming Dynasty were the ones who got the greatest benefits.

An annual salary of 10,000 taels is tens of thousands of stone grains.

It is not possible to convert the purchasing power of the Ming Dynasty into later generations, so the error in calculation is too big.

Ten thousand taels of silver can buy nearly 30,000 stone of grain in Daming, that is, about five million catties, and two yuan per catty of grain, which is as high as 10 million.

But one can't just eat food and nothing else.

Other living expenses such as fruits, tea, entertainment, and travel are much more expensive than later generations.

A pound of fruit is more than 100 yuan, which is equivalent to about 100 yuan in later generations, which is dozens of times more expensive.

Zhu Yunwen has mentioned to the cabinet many times that when the price of fruits can drop to twenty or thirty yuan, it means that it has really entered a prosperous era.

A prosperous world that no one has ever seen in the book or dreamed of.

"This is also the case with Bianliang City in Tokyo Menghualu, which is only a match between Nanjing today in the Ming Dynasty, and even has a strong downward trend, and the cabinet's plan is to make the clothing, food, housing, and transportation of households completely cheap in the next ten years, restaurants, tea shops, and other places where you can talk about books, listen to music, and entertain and pastime bloom everywhere, and the service industries such as storytelling, singing and dancing, and singing music will prosper and become a new pillar of Nanjing's financial revenue."

Before agreeing on the Third Five-Year Plan, Xu Buji threw out his own wild thoughts, like a bombshell, which shocked everyone at the conference.
