Chapter 567: Li Zicheng Wins Again!

"Eat his mother, drink his mother, King Chuang came to divide the field......"

On the same day that Zhu Cihong ascended the throne and became the seventeenth generation of the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty, the song of King Yingchuang sounded over the city of Chongqing.

Li Zicheng, the son of Dashun Yongchang, finally won his first major victory after his death!

What the? Dead and still victorious? Was this victory achieved in the yang world, or in the underworld?

That's a little more complicated!

Although Li Zicheng's body is dead, his soul is ...... I don't know where I went? But he is still alive in history!

Although Zhu Cihong, He Tengjiao, and Du Yinxi have come to the fact that Li Zicheng is dead through fundamental analysis, Daxi Zhang Xianzhong also guessed that Li Zicheng was pretending to be alive.

But neither side publicly declared that Li Zicheng was dead.

Because the dead Li Zicheng did not have enough deterrent power against the gentry and landlord class in Huguang, in order to smoothly implement the policy of "clearing the fields and inspecting the land and picking fruits", Zhu Cihong did not dismantle Li Zicheng's pretending to be alive.

And Zhang Xianzhong also felt that it was more beneficial for him to go north to Guanzhong and gain a firm foothold in Guanzhong.

Because as long as Li Zicheng is alive and maintains a state of war with the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty will not launch a fierce attack on the territory under Li Zicheng's name - Dolgon, Duoduo, and Fan Wencheng are all familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and from the map, isn't the current world divided into three points?

And Da Ming is the strongest party among the three points, Da Shun and Da Qing don't join forces, how can they still pinch each other?

Therefore, as long as Dashun still maintains the state of war with Daming, Dolgon will not send troops to Shaanxi. He will only seize the time and concentrate on fighting the Ming army in Shanxi - since last winter, the second siege of Datong has begun, and at this time it is still surrounded by Datong Mansion City!

After figuring out this situation, Zhang Xianzhong, who occupied Xi'an Prefecture in Guanzhong in the north, continued to use the banner of the king of Dashun West, saying that he was taking over Shaanxi at the behest of Li Zicheng.

Since Zhu Cihong and Zhang Xianzhong both "think" that Li Zicheng is alive, the Qing Dynasty does not seem to have any opinions, and the Dashun Dynasty itself also claims that Li Zicheng is still alive and sits in Yong'an (Kuizhou), so of course Li Zicheng is alive in history.

According to the later "Shun Shi. Gaozu", Shun Gaozu Li Zicheng after the defeat of the public security, he waved his army into Sichuan, took Kuizhou as the foundation, renamed Yong'an, and stationed it. Later, he sent Taizong Li Guo to command 30,000 troops to attack Chongqing, and with the cooperation of Gao Yigong and Luo Hu's two armies, a total of 30,000 people, they attacked Chongqing, and broke the headquarters of Ma Shiying, the governor of Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty!

However, Ma Shiying's defeat did not mean the collapse of Ming rule in Sichuan. Because at the same time as the fall of Chongqing Mansion, Yang Zhan of the western Sichuan side successfully recovered Chengdu Mansion, which was abandoned by Zhang Xianzhong. Therefore, Ma Shiying and Zeng Ying, who lost Chongqing Prefecture, retreated in the direction of Chengdu.

Qin Yiming, the general soldier of Sichuan who had stayed in Kuizhou before, withdrew to Zunyi Mansion, where he saw Qin Liangyu, the loyal prince of the country, who came from Huguang with a large number of firearms and military salaries. Qin Yiming's department, which was supplemented, also gained a firm foothold in Zunyi Mansion.

So the situation in Sichuan is still confusing.

And the dead Li Zicheng still has to survive for a period of time in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and the Dashun Dynasty will continue to make progress under his banner!

.......

Yong'an City, the new capital of the Great Shun Dynasty, was shrouded in the dripping night rain, and in one of the mansions, candlelight shot through a thin layer of window paper, and two figures sitting opposite each other could be faintly seen.

"As the saying goes, spring rain is as expensive as oil...... It seems that the farmers in Sichuan have had a good life this year, God appreciates the food, and the prince of Fujun gives them a plan to divide the land. ”

In the room, Dashun Zuofu, who was a little blessed, and Niu Jinxing, a scholar of Tianyou Pavilion University, were leaning on a couch, holding a volume of account books of Yong'an Mansion's enclosure and Jikou Juntian, and were looking at it carefully.

"Although the emperor's law of enclosing land and equalizing land has benefited farmers, but it can't manage industry and commerce, and the industry and commerce of Xiangjing Mansion, Chengtian Mansion and Jingzhou Mansion have been depressed a lot, and this year it is the turn of Sichuan to be depressed."

The other person is a young man who looks a little similar to Niu Jinxing, who is Niu Jinxing's son Niu Yan. Niu Yan served as the Yin of Xiangjing Mansion for a period of time last year, and now he has been transferred to Yong'an Mansion by Li Guo as a household government attendant. He seems to have a little bit of a complaint about the policy of counting and equalizing fields implemented by the Dashun Dynasty, and he does not dare to openly contradict it, but only dares to say it in front of his father Niu Jinxing.

Niu Jinxing glared at his son: "What's wrong with the industrial and commercial depression?" At the beginning of the founding of the country, there were many people who valued agriculture and suppressed commerce. This dynasty took the Tang Dynasty as its teacher, and when the Tang Dynasty was founded, it also emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce. ”

"But you can't do without industry and commerce, it's too inconvenient!" Niu Yan shook his head, "As soon as the enclosure debt exemption order of Xiangjing Mansion came out, the big industry and big businessmen immediately disappeared, and the little rice harvested in our Zhuangzi the year before last had nowhere to go, and then it was transported to Lexian Bridge to sell, but what now?" It's all in Sichuan, so can't it be shipped to Hankou to sell, right?

And we still have an old foundation before, so we can send you some silver as a stipend to fill it, but this year, I'm afraid there is no silver to send, and we have to change the rice noodles...... Moreover, many brothers came with Zhuangzi who lost Xiangjing and Nanyang, and it is indispensable to spend money to resettle in Sichuan to resettle the land! ”

The gentry landlords of the Ming Dynasty did not exclude industry and commerce, and they also had the privilege of duty-free customs clearance, and in most places, industry and commerce and the gentry were one. Therefore, while depriving the gentry of their land and exempting the peasants from their debts by decree, Dashun also destroyed the foundation of industry and commerce.

I had this problem in Huguang before, but now that I have entered Sichuan, I am afraid that it will be more serious! Because Sichuan is self-contained, once the foundation of industry and commerce no longer exists, it is unlikely that the old warriors of Dashun will get the handicraft products they need through the mutual market with the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the Dashun Imperial Court now has no source of cash. Therefore, soon there will be no money to be distributed to the officials below, and most of them will have to change the distribution of rice.

In the future, the officials of the Great Shun Dynasty will have to drive the carriage and ox cart to pull the Lu......

"What's the matter...... Niu Jinxing sneered, "You're worried that the rice won't be sold, so you won't ask the farmers for anything else?" Point cloth, point meat, point fur game. Whatever you need in the house, let Zhuangzi send it. As for Yulu, there is no difference between silver and rice noodles. And you don't have to send rice noodles, you can also publish it.

Since ancient times, it has been a male cultivator and a female weaver, and the tax system of the Sui and Tang dynasties targeted the male farmer and the female weaver, and engaged in rent modulation. However, the Sui and Tang dynasties were based on 'Ding', regardless of the amount of land and property, which was too unfair to the people of Shengdou. And we can be land-oriented, and in the future, one acre of land will be required to pay a part of rice, a part of cloth, and a little bit of forced labor, isn't it okay? ”

Niu Jinxing's method is not clever, in fact, it is just the way of self-sufficiency, the true nature of the small peasant economy (manor economy).

In the early days of many feudal dynasties, many people were wiped out because of successive wars, which destroyed industry and commerce, and also made the commodity economy lose its foundation. The subsistence smallholder peasant economy, on the other hand, is thriving because there are fewer people and more land.

At this time, the feudal dynasty adopted the national policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, suppressing annexation, and protecting small peasants, which was completely correct!

There are no people, engaged in wool business!

However, in the middle and late stages of the development of the feudal dynasty, because of the increase in population, the intensification of the contradiction between man and land, and the gradual invalidation of the policy of inhibiting annexation, the development of industry and commerce was unstoppable.

The Ming Dynasty was precisely such a feudal dynasty that did not know much flexibility......

And Niu Jinxing, the left assistant minister of the Dashun Dynasty, is now preparing to open a small peasant model in the early days of the dynasty for Li Zicheng.

Niu Yan asked again: "What about the industry of a hundred crafts?" ”

"The official camp!" Niu Jinxing smiled, "Do you remember the "Examination of Work" in "Zhou Li"? ”

"Remember some."

Niu Jinxing said: "Didn't it be said at the beginning of "Examination of Work", 'The state has six positions, and 100 workers live in the same place'. Naturally, we do not expect profiteers to develop hundreds of industries, so vigorously developing government and business is the right way. We must not only have a hundred workers in the government, but also specialize in salt, iron, tea, wine and other goods, as well as large mines in various places. In addition, commercial officials should also be set up in the mutual markets on the border to strictly control the export and import of goods. ”

Niu Yan thought for a moment, "Where did the craftsman come from?" ”

"Set up a craftsman!" Niu Jinxing said, "The craftsman's household does not count the land and does not have to pay rent, but must enter the official service, serve for two or three months a year, and be given food and clothing as appropriate." ”

Niu frowned and asked, "Then are the people still allowed to run businesses and businesses?" ”

"Xu," Niu Jinxing said, "the government is the mainstay, and the private sector is supplemented." If the private sector is not allowed, how can there be hundreds of craftsmen to serve in the official service?

However, salt, iron, tea, and wine must be exclusive...... All the people who smelt iron, make wine, boil salt, and grow tea must be strictly controlled by the government, and they are not allowed to operate privately.

In addition, all hardware mines must also be operated by the government, and the private sector must not be involved. The business of casting money with copper and iron must also be government-run! ”

Niu Venus is also improving! Four years ago, when he first started planning the system for Li Zicheng, he was actually half a bottle of vinegar wandering around. Although he was born in Juren, but the Ming Dynasty's Juren was only proficient in Bagu articles, and the level of policy theory was not too high, and he didn't know much about the rules and regulations of the previous dynasties - he had to be proficient in classics in theory, but the Ming Dynasty readers were clever and developed a lot of remedial materials for the exam, so that readers could not know how to pretend to understand and pass the test in confusion. Niu Venus is a mixed up......

However, in the past two or three years, he has been studying while governing the country, and many staff members have gradually gathered around him, and his level has naturally improved a lot.

What he has now set for Li Guo is the line of a typical feudal state based on a small-scale peasant economy.

The military basis of the state is the enclosure military service system. The basis of the economy is the subsistence and government-run industry and commerce, that is, the small-scale peasant economy. Now there is still a way to get a taxi, and we can almost live together.
