Chapter 711: New Dynasty Meteorology (6)
"It's worthy of engaging in personnel work, Brother Hanhou can understand it all so quickly, it's really a talent."
Facing Xiong Bolong, who was eloquent, Zhang Sanyi smashed his mouth and sighed.
But Zhang Sanyi still couldn't help but sigh:
"Your Majesty's thoughts and thoughts are comparable to extraordinary people, Tan Mou knows why the old ministers such as the Marquis of Dingnan are rumored to be the Emperor Ziwei, but this official position is interlocking, but the officials are many times more than the previous dynasty, and the burden on my people is heavier."
Who knew that Tan Fengzhen immediately burst out laughing:
"Hahaha, Lu Ru, what you said is too unlevel, it's hard to go on like this, your school department is in charge of the world's education, and you need more innovative thinking."
Knowing that his friend was a household servant, Zhang Sanyi immediately humbly arched his hand and said:
"Please also ask Brother Mingjin to teach me."
Tan Fengzhen took a sip of the teacup with a proud face.
Lu Ru was right in the first half, but there were some problems in the second half. Indeed, as you said, the total number of officials in my Han Dynasty is more than twice as much as that of the Ming Dynasty, and Brother Han should know the specific number, right? ”
Xiong Bolong gestured out a palm.
"700,000 people, this is the newly determined number of officials in the world, but now there is still a big gap in officials, anyway, the data of my Guanglu Temple is only 243,781 people."
"Hiss"
"There are so many officials in the world?"
"It's only a third now?"
Zhang Sanyi and Tan Fengzhen spoke in surprise.
Xiong Bolong nodded a little heavily.
"Yes, after all, the population base that has received His Majesty's new education is there, from 1836 to the present, there are only about one million people in total who have completed six years of township education, and even fewer can reach children, and these people also have to take care of the army and the Guoye Temple, etc., and the manpower is really tight."
"So our group of people is indeed lucky, if we hadn't taken the clerk exam in a daze, where would we have been able to get such a good opportunity."
It was precisely because of the small number of officials that Liu Ximing even postponed his original plan to divide the provinces according to the later generations.
Now the Han Dynasty still maintains the scale of the Ming Dynasty's two capitals and thirteen provinces, but a separate Tianjing comes out and becomes three capitals and thirteen provinces.
Zhang Sanyi nodded hurriedly, "No wonder, our school department is going to start a large-scale recruitment plan for teachers recently, and we want to mobilize all the old-style readers in the world as teachers, and we will be busy in the next few years." ”
"Okay, okay, let's just say what I just said."
Tan Fengzhen finally caught an opportunity to pretend to be forced, where could he let it go so easily.
"It's still the paragraph you just said, but there is a big problem in the second half."
"Didn't you just walk in the door talking about currency reform, and this matter can be linked to what you said."
Zhang Sanyi leaned forward with some interest, "What do you say?" ”
"Your Majesty has ordered that all the gold and silver in the world be sealed, and at the same time, a new type of Chinese dollar will be issued again according to the stock of gold and silver."
Tan Fengzhen took out a green money ticket from his sleeve, "You shouldn't be unfamiliar with this money ticket, we were also using this as a pawn before." ”
"Of course."
Tan Fengzhen smiled, "The new version of Huayuan is said to be red, and His Majesty's head will be used as a pattern on it." ”
"I won't go into the details of the rest, and the newspapers will naturally publicize it then. I would like to talk about this paper money reform, and from now on, the whole country will only be able to use paper money, except for transactions with foreigners. ”
"Of course, in order to avoid the depreciation of the former Ming treasure banknotes, His Majesty has ordered the establishment of the Dahan Central Bank, which is responsible for the issuance of Huayuan, and will issue 400 billion yuan this year."
"The amount of currency issued every year and other data must be reported to the whole world, which avoids the indiscriminate issuance of Chinese dollars like treasure banknotes, and Chinese dollars are different from treasure banknotes, and there are real gold and silver as reserves."
As he spoke, Tan Fengzhen took another sip of tea.
"To put it mildly, in general, because of the implementation of the new economic system in my Han Dynasty, it will return my Han to the prosperous commercial society of the Two Song Dynasty, and in the future, agricultural taxes will only account for a small part of the state finance."
"Your Majesty even said that when the social and economic development reaches a certain level, there may be abolition of agricultural taxes and even subsidies to farmers who cultivate land, have you heard of such a thing?"
"Hiss"
"Isn't it? Do you have to pay money if you don't pay taxes for farming? ”
Zhang Sanyi and Xiong Bolong asked in surprise in unison.
"Hehe, what Your Majesty said, I believe it all."
Tan Fengzhen immediately incarnated as Liu Ximing's little fan brother at this time.
According to the estimation of our household department, when the economy stabilizes in three years, the national fiscal revenue is estimated to reach more than 120 million taels."
"What kind of concept is this, the year before and next year was less than 30 million taels, and the Northern Song Dynasty was only 160 million taels, and the Southern Song Dynasty was only 100 million taels. With so much money, how much can the imperial court do. ”
"Haven't you heard that the Ministry of Transport is already planning to build a railway from Beijing to Tianjing, and it is said that after completion, it will only take a day at most to travel from Beijing to Tianjing."
In the office of Guanglu Temple, Xiong Bolong and Zhang Sanyi all fell silent.
It's not that I can't wait, it's that the world is changing too fast.
~~~
Outside Beijing.
Yu Chenglong quickly walked into Jiao Mintong's big tent.
Unlike the regular military camps in Shanxi, the hundreds of thousands of troops outside Beijing can only live in tents.
However, I heard that the Governor's Office of the three armed forces has begun to start the construction of the Beijing Military Region, and I think that in a few years, the officers and men of the Han Army will be able to live in the building.
"Yu Chengchan came to report."
From joining the army in Shanxi to the present, Yu Chenglong has actually only accepted more than four months of military life.
Who would have thought that the Han army would attack so quickly and recover the whole country in less than half a year.
However, these four months of military career still left a distinct mark on Jackie Chan.
In the big tent, Jiao Mintong replied while replying to the official document: "Come in."
Yu Chenglong flashed into the tent, and when he saw Jiao Mintong, he immediately snapped and stood upright, and raised his right hand to the tip of his eyebrows to perform a new-style military salute.
"Congratulations to the Brigadier, for the Baronial"
Jiao Mintong smiled and sat down to salute back.
"It's just a baron, what is there to congratulate, wait for Lao Tzu to earn back an earl, you will come to congratulate."
Yu Chengchan's ears moved, and he asked sensitively:
"What, what inside information does the brigade commander know? Is there another war, but His Majesty has only ascended the throne, and Liaodong has already been recovered. ”
Jiao Mintong put down the pen in his hand with some surprise.
"You kid is really clever enough, no wonder these instructors Hu Jin value you so much, you can guess these things with just my words."
After speaking, Jiao Mintong got up and walked out of the desk, pointed to the chair on the side of the big tent, and motioned for Jackie Chan to sit down and speak.
"Hehe, that's not what you taught, brigade commander."
Yu Chengchan sat down and said with a smile.
Jiao Mintong took out a pack of cigarettes from the front pocket of his military uniform and handed one to Yu Chengchan, and the tent began to smoke again.
"You guessed it right," Jiao Mintong scratched his head as he smoked.
"Your Majesty said, now that the Qing army is destroyed, the Mongols are in chaos, and our Han can't leave them a chance to integrate, and when the winter is over, the army will march towards Mongolia, and strive to include the whole of Mongolia in the territory of my Han Dynasty."
Yu Chenglong was a little surprised: "Your Majesty really said that? But Mongolia has never been conquered by our Han dynasty? ”
Jiao Mintong sneered, "Nonsense, Lan Yu and Ming Chengzu have all gone to Beihai, how can I say that my Han people have not conquered the Mongols." ”
"Your Majesty said that from the Han Dynasty to the north to the Arctic Ocean, all of them are the land of my Han people. Although the territory of the Han Dynasty is large, not an inch of land is superfluous. ”
Yu Yongkai's face was a little worried, "Will this be a bit reckless, after all, they are all wild places, and they are useless except for consuming the national strength of my Great Han." ”
"Hahaha, Your Majesty is right, you are scholars."
Jiao Mintong laughed and shook the cigarette ash in his hand.
"Every time you get a piece of land, you get a resource, how far Mongolia goes north to the Arctic Ocean, do you know, tens of thousands of miles, there are a few gold mines here that can earn back the money we spent, and it will also consume national strength."
"Besides, is my Han army so brittle, do you believe that we will lose at most half a brigade when we conquer this place?"
"Believe in it, Brigade Commander Jiao will come out, I believe that he will be able to succeed."
Yu Chenglong reacted suddenly, and hurriedly smiled and lit a cigarette for Jiao Mintong.
