Chapter 52: The Yellow Book and the Fish Scale Book
Shi Caiqi and Ma Tingyin prepared a dinner for Yang Qi, Yang Qi did not attend, but sent his subordinates, headed by Wei Dayong, supplemented by Gao Chengzhen and Shang Jingshi, he did not give them face, but for the next step, he also needs to think carefully, this is also the first time he felt that he lacked strategists after coming to Daming, in the future, he will also send his subordinates to solve the problem, he will minimize contact with them, once there is a defect, he can mediate from it, But if you have to bow down to everything, it's okay to deal with it, if you're not careful, it may be a bloodshed, there is an essential difference between governing the people and suppressing bandits, you can use any means to suppress bandits, and if you are in a hurry, you can directly wave the army to cover up the past, civil, block, it's better to be sparse!
Early the next morning, Yang Qi summoned his officials above the general banner: Wei Dayong, Gao Chengzhen, Shang Jingshi, Li Tianfu, Zhao Yingjie, Cui Jiaquan, Shi Caiqi, and Ma Tingyin to attend the meeting.
"See your lord!" The officials bowed to Yang Qi under the leadership of Wei Dayong.
"Get up, everyone sit down!" Yang Qi waved his hand and said: "Everyone has also been promoted, and the last batch of veterans who did not complete the promotion have now been promoted to small flag officers, and I have also fulfilled a wish." ”
"Thank you, sir!" Wei Dayong, Li Tianfu and several others stood up again and said.
"We can have today's positions, all of which are appreciated by the imperial court, and the soldiers have exchanged their lives for it." Yang Qi opened the scene, waved his hand again and motioned for Wei Dayong and the others to sit down and speak: "Now that the imperial court is in an eventful season, we will be ordered to deal with the affairs of Suide with full authority, and I also ask the two of you to help." "I still don't want to give up if I can pull Yangqi, and the stakes are at stake, so it's inconvenient to say clearly, so it's over.
"After more than 200 years of rapid development of the imperial court, to this day, there are disadvantages, there are advantages, all of them are not a day's work, but we want to make a difference, we must open the mountain, build a bridge when encountering water, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, although the road ahead is bumpy, we need to overcome thorns and thorns, and live up to the emperor's grace and the people!" This is Yang Qi's opening remarks.
"When we arrived at the Grange, there were five priorities: first, to recompile the yellow register of household registration and census details. 2. Re-survey and measure the land, and recompile the fish scale book. 3. Rectify national defense. Fourth, the expansion of armaments. 5. Check the tax items. Yang Qi said: "Before leaving, Li Mingwei, the lord of the Thousand Households, instructed me to expand the number of people, three thousand!" Honorary flag officials, in fact, are hundreds of households, the official is actually a thousand households, and the grange is to guard thousands of households, which is the order of the governor of the five armies, in order to fulfill the responsibility of guarding the land and suppressing it. ”
"Wei Dayong!" After Yang Qi finished speaking, he began to order.
"The subordinates are here."
"I order you to bring people to recruit a number of scribes, and to conduct a census of the population, focusing on the details of all kinds of craftsmen, craftsmen, merchants, etc."
"Subordinate Order."
"Shang Jingshi!" Yang Qi shouted.
"The subordinates are here!"
"I order you to take people to re-measure all the land above and below the Grange, and there must not be an inch of concealment or false reporting, and you must count the land that can be reclaimed and the wasteland that has not been reclaimed with a clear purpose and the reasons, and by the way, you must also conduct a census on water conservancy problems." Yang Qi emphatically emphasized: "The burden on your shoulders is not light, you must do your job well." ”
"Subordinates take orders!" Shang Jingshi's natural way Yang Qi treats him differently, he is capable, not only outstanding in martial arts, but also has learned to hyphenate since he was a child, if Wei Dayong is a general, then this person can be handsome.
"Li Tianfu!" Yang Qi continued to order.
"The subordinates are here!"
"I order you to rectify the defense of the Grange and repair the facilities, from now on, all people entering and exiting must hold the customs clearance jade butterfly, road guide, and restore the imperial court law."
"Subordinates receive orders."
"Zhao Yingjie!"
"The subordinates are here!"
"I order you to convene military households, expand the army, and draw from military households, and the minimum standard for drawing Ding shall not be less than eighteen years old, and the maximum shall not exceed twenty-five years old." Yang Qi emphasized the origin of the soldiers.
"Subordinates take orders!"
"Cui Jiaquan!"
"The subordinates are here!"
"Check the tax items!" Yang Qi said.
"My lord, I'm afraid this subordinate won't be able to do a good job." The Cui family said with red ears in an all-round way.
"This is simple, but if there are discrepancies in the anti-rules, they will all be sent to prison pending trial!" Yang Qi said simply and rudely: "This will be simple, right?" ”
"Hehe, this subordinate can do a good job!" Cui Jiaquan smiled innocently.
"Shi Caiqi, Ma Tingyin!" Yang Qi shouted.
"The subordinates are here." The two also learned from Wei Dayong and they got up and went out of the way, in fact, these five work contents, Yang Qi said one of them, the two of them trembled once, and at this time the backs of the two were all soaked, never expected that this hundred households were so old, and they actually talked about the lifeline everywhere, although the two of them thought that their hands and eyes were all over the sky, how did they know that this immortal was directly appointed by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and it is said that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion also sent a special Beijing official to visit the Shaanxi Metropolitan Command Envoy to personally supervise the army, which was all done by the two at yesterday's dinner, only to find out from the mouths of these generals, for which the two almost vomited out all their bitter gall.
"The above tasks need to be completed within seven days, if there is a delay, one day will be punished with ten canes, two days with twenty canes, and so on, understand?" Yang Qi asked coldly.
"Subordinates and other orders!" Everyone shouted in unison, full of momentum, Shi Caiqi and Ma Tingyin, where did they feel such momentum? Elite Handan
"I also hope that the two elders will cooperate and support, and then the bandits will be eliminated, the glory will belong to the Ming Dynasty, the victory will belong to Your Majesty, and the credit will go to the ranks!" Yang Qi stood up and said loudly: "Encourage you together!" ”
"Encourage you!" Everyone present stood up and bowed. At the end of the meeting, Yang Qi instructed those who were not enough to be transferred with Gao Chengzhen.
"Shi Lao, looking at the style of this Baihu Lord, we may be very dangerous this time." Ma Ting printed out Yang Qi's yamen and said to Shi Caiqi privately.
"Dangerous?" Shi Caiqi shook his head and said: "In the Grange, without the two of us, no one can play, let's see what he wants." ”
Yang Qi, who had nothing to do, after everyone started their own work, changed into civilian clothes and Gao Chengzhen and other guards, and walked on the streets of the Grange, Yang Qi ordered people to investigate the big data of the Grange, he needed to investigate the people's livelihood on the spot, and then combined with the investigation of big data, he could find the most suitable way and method for the development of the Grange at present, in fact, Yang Qi already had a number in his heart, that is, "change", which was a very dangerous thing in ancient times, so Yang Qi found a neutral word "reform", the first thing to change is the tax system, In fact, the tax system of the Ming Dynasty itself is very low, but the miscellaneous expenses and apportionments are particularly many, and the salary level of the Ming Dynasty is extremely low, which is not as low as the Song Dynasty, the salary of the Song Dynasty is high salary and incorruptible, relying on wages can achieve a well-off life, there is no need to take risks to embezzle and accept bribes, so even at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial court is still strong, unlike the Southern Ming, which was quickly conquered by foreign races.
