After sending off his uncle, Yang Dudu can be regarded as completely drawing a line with the imperial court, as for whether Tianqi and Sun Chengzong will accept it......

Do they have a choice?

The noose is in the hands of the Yang family, if they win this battle, there will naturally be nothing, but if they can't win this battle, then if they dare to move the Yang family's industry in the north in the future, they will tighten the noose.

The stick of food is in hand.

Caoyun is in control.

There is no need to worry that the apocalypse will make an irrational choice.

Although the real natural disaster has not yet fallen at this time, the north has also felt the chill of winter, and last year the entire Beizhili and most of Shandong were already in a state of famine, and sweet potatoes were about to become the staple food in various places, and it is still the case until now. Although Tianqi had already heard the ironic word sweet potato prosperity from Yang Xin's mouth, he still continued to order 9,000 years old to reward sweet potatoes in various places to expand the planting area.

He also knew about the natural disasters that Yang Xin was talking about.

He didn't need to tell him this, he just looked at Yang Xin's actions over the years.

Yang Dudu is mythical.

Although for those who know the details, the stories of his origins are all made up, it is impossible for the nine thousand years old not to know that Yang Xin's identity was originally bought by his old brother Huang Zhen in Renqiu.

But.

Yang Xin's body is real.

His body healed in the blink of an eye after being stabbed is itself mythical.

Such a person has been making canned food for many years, regardless of the input, and the canned food made is not sold at all, but is directly transported to the cellars of various places for storage, and even the canned food in Guangdong is transported by sea to the cellar warehouse of the Yang family on Jeju Island for storage. Moreover, they have continued to open up wasteland, and even went to places like Taiwan to overcome obstacles, and businesses in various places have continued to sell all kinds of new seeds, corn, sweet potatoes to the people at low prices, and recently began to sell potatoes, especially sorghum, all of which have been planted in the fried flower pastoral areas. And his business of buying oil is obviously losing money, but he still buys it at a higher price when he loses money, making it like crazy that donkeys are everywhere in northern Shaanxi.

None of this is normal.

With his power, he can easily sit and enjoy the glory and wealth, but he has to do these things with low returns or even loss of money.

The Yang family has a new type of loom machine, and a female worker can spin dozens of spindles of yarn at the same time, but he would rather buy cotton from distant India and come back to spin and weave cloth, so that the products are not competitive in front of Guangdong goods, and he does not buy cotton locally, and even prohibits Yangjiazhuang households from growing cotton......

Didn't he know that it was more profitable?

There is only one reasonable explanation for his series of strange behaviors.

He's preparing for famine.

He knew that soon there would be a famine beyond people's imagination, and that all means must be used to increase grain production and hoard enough food, and last year's snowstorm in northern Shaanxi had verified this, the donkey team, the promotion of sweet potatoes, and the reserves of merchants in various places quickly solved the famine in northern Shaanxi, combined with his mythological color, even those gentry actually believed in him a little.

But......

What about believing him?

Believe that he will let him divide the land?

Joke!

What about famine for the gentry? It is not enough to starve to death, but what about millions or even tens of millions of tenant serfs? As long as your land is still there, just like Fang Congzhe said, it will be a prosperous era in a few decades, and the farmland burned by wildfires will grow like a bumper harvest. For noble officials and even emperors, the same is true, as long as the ruling power does not fall, what is the big deal if the sheep starve to death, as long as they are still the owners of the sheep or the shepherd.

You can't delay eating mutton.

Hunger rebellion?

Kill!

The officers and soldiers who can shoot the wild boar skin to death, and the rebellious Diao people are not the same as chopping melons and vegetables? But what Yang Xin is playing now is to let the sheep know that they are not slaughtered, so that the sheep can learn to resist the shepherds and resist the fate of being slaughtered and eaten meat.

Even he gave the cannon to the flock.

That's the most dangerous thing.

But they didn't know that Yang Xin was doing more ruthless ......

"The Four People's Assembly!"

Yang Xin said.

After sending off his uncle, he then convened a meeting of military officials from all over the country, and proposed a new term.

"Shinong businessmen, but you have to add soldiers.

Scholars are scholars, but not limited to those who are famous, all those who are talented and talented, including children, are counted, that is, those who teach, and even those who write, paint, and study science, are all considered scholars.

As for the rest of the agricultural, industrial and commercial enterprises, there is no need to explain.

The adult men of the four peoples from each region will choose one person to form the Four People's Assembly in Nanjing, and if there is any war and tax collection and other things in the future, they will first tell them, and then they will tell the people in various places, and even if they feel that it is inappropriate, they can also put forward some opinions. But for reference only, it is up to me to decide whether to adopt it, and the way to choose is very simple, that is, to draw lots, and the qualifications for running for election are also very simple, that is, the tax certificate for paying taxes, and each household will be issued a tax certificate after paying taxes, and a tax certificate is a lot quota.

Regardless of the land rent paid by the peasants, the silver paid by the craftsmen, and the various commercial taxes paid by the merchants, they are all counted.

Then draw lots according to the tax certificate.

Those caught were the representatives of the Four Peoples, four from each county and one soldier from each army, and they went to Nanjing to form a special meeting of the Four Peoples.

Every five years.

If he did something bad during this period, the people of the county to which he belonged could come to him and even sue me. ”

He went on to say.

"Lord, why bother so much, if you have any orders, just listen to you."

An officer said.

A chorus of echo followed.

"No, no, we have to make it clear that we are serving the people, and our purpose is to make the people live better, but we are not sages, and we will inevitably make mistakes, so we need the supervision of the people, and the Four People's Congress is to supervise us and prevent us from doing wrong things."

Yang Xin said modestly.

The subordinates immediately looked at them with admiration.

They are all members of the Yang family, that is, Yang Xin has been trained in his own school over the years, but in terms of knowledge level, it is equivalent to the sixth grade of modern times, no matter how high it is, it is difficult, but of course the military quality is much higher, and he is currently serving as the director of the military management committee in various counties and towns and townships.

He is a fanatic loyal to Yang Xin.

But he is young, lacks practice, and has a lot of enthusiasm, so Yang Xin can only transfer some petty officials who are familiar with government affairs from Zhaoyi to cooperate with them.

After three years, Zhaoyi City, a purely free-range militia system, has formed a set of management models of its own, but because of the lack of adequate supervision, grassroots officials are inevitably a little incorruptible. Of course, compared to the court officials in the past, they are cheap like models, after all, if they do too much, they are easy to be shot, and Zhaoyi City has not established a real judicial system, and justice depends more on the force of military and political officials.

If a village leader provokes public anger and is shot and killed by the militia, the superiors will often take the approach of calming the situation.

In this way, corruption is limited.

But not for nothing.

And it will definitely intensify over time, so the system will also have to be transformed.

However, the ability of those grassroots officials to do things is still worthy of recognition, so that they can complement these enthusiastic young people just in order to establish a militia system in the localities they have just won and at the same time take charge of government affairs, especially the important matter of dividing the land.

Justice is a different story......

It is still through the skin of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, but it is clear that the former is equivalent to the procuratorate and the latter is equivalent to the court.

But the personnel are also family members, and it is impossible to get those imperial histories back.

The law is in accordance with the law of the Ming Dynasty.

This law is enough for this era, not enough and the big edict, the former is a special law, the latter is a case judgment, of course, it is Yang Xin himself who picked out some of the content in the edict that meets his own mind, and the special refined version of the edict. One hand is a great law and the other is a great edict, these two things are enough to ensure the legal basis, but he can't appoint officials such as the imperial history, so the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the prosecutor and the Dali Temple is the judge.

And law and order is the army.

In fact, the main purpose of a special army directly under the Yingguo Shogunate was reorganized into a public security army, and then public security battalions were stationed in each county and public security teams in each township, in fact, the main purpose was to suppress the resistance of the landlords and ensure the smooth progress of the division of land in various localities.

This is how he currently manages the area of control.

As for taxation, finance, and the like, this is the responsibility of the ministries under the Yingguo Shogunate, and the ministers are responsible to him, including the army, which is also responsible for the staff under the shogunate, so that he grasps the military and politics, and only the judicial system is still clothed in the skin of the imperial court. Then he will set up a meeting of the four peoples, so that there will be a public opinion body, and he can use the banner of the people to exert authority in this controlled area, and then he will seize the new territory to join the four people's congress by lot, and then everything will be logical.

As for casting lots......

Drawing lots is the simplest and most effective way to do it.

In the end, the results of the election can only be decided by the rich people, how can those ordinary people know so much, the rich people coaxed them with a little trickery, but they will not be able to draw lots, although the rich people will also buy those deputies, but fortunately, Yang Xin is not really prepared to let this Four Peoples Congress decide anything. The purpose of this institution is only to let the people know their power, and it is also to integrate the control area in this way, after all, Yang Dudu is only the Duke of Yingguo, and he needs something that can integrate this control area from the hearts of the people.

The Four People's Congress will do.

The Assembly of the Four Peoples represented the formation of a single whole in this area, which enabled the people to begin to free themselves from imperial rule in their hearts.

But what does it really do......

In the end, the British did not have to say that the Protector had the final say, and the textbooks boasted about the British, but the fact was that the Protector told the parliamentarians that they had the freedom to breathe the air, at least in the current situation, such an institution could only be symbolic.

It symbolizes that the people can have power as well, and the imperial power is not high.
