Chapter 782: Comprehensive Reform

Previous Chapter

Dusk thought slightly, "Lancang can indeed do it, after all, it is not difficult to send troops to Lancang, and to deal with my Daming, and to lay down Lancang, will link Jiaozhi and Eight Hundred Dadian together, which is more conducive to the control of these two areas." ”

Zhu Di bowed his head, "You, your military ability is so shitty, and your vision is good." ”

Dusk smiled awkwardly, "Military ability is actually about talent, not based on human will, Weichen wants to work hard to improve, but without this talent, just forget it." ”

If Lao Tzu even has excellent military ability, Boss Zhu, can you sleep?

He also said: "But the White Lotus Society still has to be cleared, if Your Majesty can, hand over this matter to His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a benevolent personality, and he will not kill on this matter." ”

Zhu Di thought about this truth, "Good." ”

He also said: "However, the White Lotus Society is better at hiding than the Ming Sect, if you want to clean up the White Lotus Society, I am afraid you will need the cooperation of the Ming Sect, where is Tang Qingshan now?" ”

Dusk nodded, "He should be in the Sichuan-Shaanxi area at the moment, Your Majesty can ask the prince to contact him, in addition, you can also find the Mingjiao Holy Lady Fang Jiao and the elder Han Changqing, with the cooperation of the three giants of the Mingjiao, the Mingjiao in the territory should become the eyes and ears of the government, and it is not difficult to use the news obtained by the Mingjiao lurking in the darkness to clear the White Lotus Society." ”

Zhu Di nodded, "Good." ”

Zhu Di knew that the White Lotus Society was indeed a little rampant, and he dared to attack the Ming officials, and if he didn't clean up the White Lotus Society, the local officials of the Ming Dynasty would lack a sense of security.

That's it.

As for fighting Lancang, Zhu Di will not discuss with Dusk, he is a military scumbag, isn't it to reduce the level of our old Zhu to discuss with him, and to discuss it is also to find a talent like Xu Huizu.

Asked Dusk, "In addition to promoting sweet potatoes and laying power grids throughout Yingtian, do you have any other big measures to benefit the country and the people, and let's listen to them." ”

Dusk said frankly, "These two things are enough to make people anxious, Wechen hasn't thought of other things for the time being, but Wechen has an idea, I want to go to Jiaozhi and Eight Hundred Dadian to investigate after the beginning of spring, of course, if Lancang is laid, Wechen will also go to examine Lancang." ”

It is necessary to find out how the mineral resources of these places are, as well as understand the agricultural resources of these places, so that we can make better use of these resources, continue to suck blood from them to develop the Ming Dynasty, and finally regurgitate these places.

Zhu Di hummed, "Yes." ”

Most of the courtiers basically sharpened their heads and climbed up the officialdom, and it was good at dusk, but they always wanted to run outside, pursuing hard work rather than power.

You must understand that dusk is only four products now.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di coughed, "Da Ming Law, officials above the fourth grade are not allowed to do business, you are now a fourth-grade official, I estimate that there will be courtiers on this matter in the next few days." ”

Dusk spread his hands, "Do other ministers fold up, Wechen didn't say it, after all, Da Ming Law is here, but the problem is that if Wechen doesn't do business, who will the business house be handed over to in this era?" ”

took a sip of tea and looked at Zhu Di calmly, "Your Majesty, are you coming?" ”

Zhu Di was speechless, you are a twilight, you dare to take Lao Tzu's army, but the question of twilight is really well asked, if twilight is not allowed to do business, who will the Times Commercial Bank hand over?

If it is an ordinary commercial bank, Zhu Di has 10,000 ways to deal with it, but the times are different.

The industries it operates are all profiteering.

But the money it earns is really spent on things that benefit the country and the people, and many industries of the commercial banks of the times have invested money in them, and even the treasury and banks of the household department are mixed in.

Times Trading House is more than just a trading house.

Its main body is twilight, but with national capital in it, it is impossible to break it to pieces.

Leave it to someone else to run it?

Zhu Di really can't imagine that there is anyone in the Ming Dynasty who can let the Times Commercial Bank play its greatest role like Dusk, not to mention the farthest away, just to say the near, the Firearms Research and Development Institute of the Times Commercial Bank and the Ordnance Institute have jointly improved the artillery, so that the firing range of the artillery has increased by about 300 meters, and the accuracy and lethality have also been greatly improved.

The firearms research and development and ordnance institute of the Times Commercial Bank have been folded, and the fire weapon will be improved in the next two years.

Now the firearm is flintlock, scattershot.

The lethality is not very high.

According to the excerpt submitted by the Ordnance Academy, the firearm should be changed to a flintlock single-point explosion bullet, and the range and lethality will be increased in a straight line, and this proposal is said to have been conceived by a skilled worker at the Firearms Research and Development Institute of the Times Commercial Bank.

Therefore, it is really difficult to dissolve the Times Firm, and it is even more difficult to strip Dusk from the Times Firm.

Come on.

It seems that this matter still needs to be changed.

Dusk coughed and guessed Zhu Di's thoughts, "Your Majesty wants to change the Da Ming Law for Weichen and allow officials above the fourth grade to do business?" By all means, if this law is changed, then the collusion between officials and businessmen will be unprecedentedly serious, and it is better to be an official with peace of mind, in fact, Weichen even believes that not only officials above the fourth grade can not do business, even if it is a seven-grade county, they cannot do business. ”

Zhu Di smiled helplessly, "How is this possible." ”

Dusk also nodded, "It's very helpless, and it's very difficult to do, but it's not that it can't be done, we need to wait a few more years, and when we have money, we will vigorously improve the salaries of officials, support honesty with high salaries, and then introduce the law that officials with more than seven grades are not allowed to do business, and there may be less resistance." ”

He added: "Of course, it is impossible to absolutely prohibit it, but as long as the officials do not go too far to let their relatives run the industry, they can turn a blind eye, and this measure can be seen as His Majesty is promoting reforms." ”

Zhu Di pondered for a long time, "I have been thinking about this matter for a while. ”

Dusk was not stubborn, and said: "With the vigorous development of His Majesty's Ming Dynasty, as the territory under His Majesty's rule is getting bigger and bigger, many old things need to be reformed, with the development of firearms, military reforms need to be reformed, medical reform needs to be deepened, currency reform needs to be strengthened, agricultural reform needs to be more refined, and education also needs to be reformed, and land reform is the same, of course, education and land reform, this involvement is too big, not to mention land reform, on the education reform, it may be to violate the interests of tens of millions of Confucians, It involves the interests of the entire Ming officialdom, so Your Majesty, you can think about it first and be mentally prepared, after all, the reform of these things will take ten years, twenty years, or even decades. ”

Zhu Di's eyes widened, and his waist straightened suddenly, "You mean I can't see the results of these things?" ”

Are you saying that I died early?

Dusk is not afraid of death at all, "Your Majesty, there are some things that we still have to respect the facts, if it is not for Weichen to make a few sycophants, Your Majesty will really be able to live long live long live." ”

Zhu Di sighed dejectedly.

It's a fact.

Zhu Di is not Qin Shi Huang, he will not think about cultivating immortals for immortality, he knows that the Son of Heaven is also a human being, and if he is a human being, he will die.

Unwilling to think about this question, he retracted the topic to the previous one, "According to what you say, sooner or later, the Ming Dynasty needs all-round reform from top to bottom?" ”

Dusk bowed, "The progress of the times will give birth to these reforms, even if Your Majesty does not guide, it will happen, of course, if there is no consent of Your Majesty, then it will be bloody, if Your Majesty intends and guides, it will be the blessing of the people of the Ming Dynasty." ”

When the time comes, I am afraid that the reform will not only be in these aspects.

Maybe even the imperial power system will have to be reformed!
