Chapter 289: Stand in line, stand in line!
In the last few months of the second year of Longxing in the Ming Dynasty, the winter solstice was gradually approaching in the turmoil of a big prison, which was also the date of the official opening of the first plenary session of the Four People's Congress.
Of course, it is also the date of the festival.
This will also become an unwritten practice, the plenary session of the Four People's Congress is held on the winter solstice, and the meeting is held first to worship the sky, but not necessarily every year, and the plenary meeting must be formally determined at this congress every few years. As for ordinary matters, the standing committee established in the plan is in charge, and the standing committee is elected by the representatives of the four peoples, and the principle of formation in Yang Qing's plan is still ......
Lottery.
Whether irresponsible or not, this was the best way to avoid the gentry controlling the Four People's Assembly.
Those tenant representatives who are clumsy and don't even know a few words can't compete fairly with those scholar representatives, so how can it be fair if the two sides start differently? Although it is necessary to change the election, it will not be possible at least until education is popularized and the people's wisdom is enlightened, and the result of the election before the education is popularized is the elitism of the gentry group.
Then the Four People's Congress was gradually seized by the gentry group.
Eventually, it became a club for the rich.
All of Yang Qing's efforts were in vain, he ended the feudal era of the Ming Dynasty, and then turned the tenants into industrial slaves under the oppression of the capitalists.
So only drawing lots is the fairest.
And it is to draw lots indiscriminately.
No matter what kind of representatives of Shinong, industry and commerce are caught in the same box, the proportion of the four people among the deputies who eventually become permanent members is completely left to fate.
This was indeed unfair to the elite, for even the well-read representatives of the scholars had to face the possibility that a peasant representative would probably occupy the largest proportion of the standing committees, who would certainly have won power for themselves to the detriment of the gentry. It is said that after experiencing this year's trip to Nanjing and visiting various places, these representatives are no longer in the state of natural fear of the master when they first came, they have already understood the power they have in their hands, and they also know that they can fight for their own power.
For example, quite a number of peasant deputies have openly demanded the full implementation of the Huangzhuang system.
In a word......
"Let Haotian God decide!"
Yang Qing said with a serious face.
"The old body doesn't care about this, it's all your young people's business!"
Grandma Qin said with emotion.
She came to Nanjing for treatment, and of course she couldn't find someone else with Yang Qing, a miracle doctor, but after Yang Qing diagnosed her pulse, she was already sure that this old lady would definitely not be able to survive next year, after all, she was seventy-four years old this year.
This is already the age of the old days.
Especially if he has fought for half his life, it is a real battle, and it is rare to live to this age.
"Marquis Zhongyong, the future will not be seen by the old body, the old body only asks the Marquis of Zhongyong to treat the first emperor well, but there is no problem with this princess. The descendants of the two families of Ma and Qin died in the war, and they were no longer able to continue to guard the stone pillar for the imperial court. ”
As she spoke, she took out the official seal of the stone pillar Xuanfu envoy and presented it with both hands.
Yang Qing immediately took it.
"Shizhu Ma's Shizhen Shizhu, the old lady is loyal to the country, Ma Xianglin, Qin Bangping and other sons and nephews are all killed on the battlefield, now with Ma's merit, the son of Ma Xianglin, Shizhu Xuanfu makes Ma Wannian An Luhou, hereditary replacement, Qin Yiming, the son of Qin Bangping, is Ying Chengbo, hereditary replacement."
He went on to say.
"Old body knocks on God's grace!"
Grandma Qin immediately thanked her.
In this way, the first Tusi of the Ming Dynasty to officially surrender the territory was born, and the Shizhu Ma family and Qin Liangyu's family exchanged the stone pillar to change the land and return to the stream, in exchange for a hereditary marquis and a hereditary earl......
The main general of Shizhu Tusi Bing was actually Qin Liangyu's maiden family, and in the Battle of Hunhe, her two younger brothers were killed in battle, and one brother escaped in a bloody battle, but then she was also killed in the Battle of Lu'an, and her son Ma Xianglin was killed in battle while defending Xiangyang. The Ma and Qin families finally resisted to the sixteenth year of Shunzhi in the Tatar Qing Dynasty for the Ming Dynasty, and finally Ma Wannian, the grandson of Grandma Qin, and Qin Yiming, the son of Qin Bangping, surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, which is also worthy of the Ming Dynasty, after all, it can be said that they are really powerless to return to the sky at that time. As for Grandma Qin herself, she doesn't need to be knighted, she has two grandsons at this time, and it is enough to be crowned a grandson marquis, and her mother's family also got an earl, which is also worthy of the three nephews who died for the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, there is not much land.
The standard of a marquis is 5,000 mu, and the standard of an earl is 3,000 mu, and the two families together get 8,000 mu of official land located in the war-damaged area of Hubei.
As for farming......
Farming let them figure out their own way, there are people in the mountains around the stone pillar, with the influence of the Ma family in the local area, it is estimated that it is not difficult to pull out a group of mountain people to abandon their poor mountains and bad waters, and live on the fertile plains of Huguang, but if it is not possible, they can also buy slaves.
In short, this has nothing to do with Yang Qing.
The fertile land was given to the Ma family, and it was your own business if you couldn't plant it.
However, their original property in Shizhu and other places will continue to be retained, so that the Ma Qin family will not have any loss in the land, but will get more, as for other economic interests, the stone pillar will not be damaged at most, the stone pillar is at most a small county, whether it is the local officials or local people in the future, they have to take the hereditary nobles of the Ma Qin family as their ancestors.
Which small county has produced two nobles, and they are not allowed to be offered as ancestors?
And after they move east, they will also strive for certain benefits for the people of Shizhu, even if they do business as hereditary nobles, they have to think about bringing the Shizhu people with them! This is good for them and for the people of the stone pillars. Yang Qing also got what he wanted, not only did the wasteland in Huguang be reclaimed, but he could also completely turn the people under the rule of the original local division of Shizhu into the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court, and then use Shizhu as a typical example to attract other Tusi to follow suit.
He has wasteland anyway.
At this time, the safety of the Yellow River can basically be guaranteed, and the population of Henan can be gradually restored. In particular, those areas near the river should do a good job in water conservancy construction, and then popularize some drought-resistant crops and bird manure fertilizer, and they will gradually become fertile fields. These Yungui Tusi, who stabbed the Ming Dynasty in the back, in fact, if you really want to say that the population is not much, it is estimated that all moving out is equivalent to a mansion in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the reason why they have become a headache for generations of emperors in the millennium is that they are scattered in the deep mountains and dense forests, and if you want to deal with them, you don't have to beat half of your combat effectiveness.
But when they came to the plains, they had nothing to worry about.
They were scattered in scattered settlements in Henan in the form of knighthoods, and first turned them from fierce mountain people into ordinary peasants.
Then as the climate improved step by step, as the population of Jiangnan continued to grow, they gradually moved to the Huangzhuang around them, and used the Huangzhuang to seal them in this area, and after a long time, these Tusi knights were abolished one by one. At that time, they were also unable to resist, and their subordinates had long forgotten their past, and it was impossible to follow them to resist, so that within fifty years, all these messy Tusi in the southwest would be resolved.
The small plains in the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains have all been turned into imperial villages, and the Han people can thrive in these places with peace and tranquility by relying on corn and potatoes.
After all, no one likes those mountains and forests.
In modern times, there are corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, these mountains can live, especially potatoes, it is difficult to imagine how to live on the edge of the woody artichoke Yungui River, they do not want to live in the plains, but they themselves are squeezed through, now the Marquis of Zhongyong can give them the plains, as long as they are willing to come out, then they can get the boundless plains.
"Marquis Zhongyong, how about the old man who wants to go back to Shizhu to retire?"
Grandma Qin asked tentatively.
Does that mean you have any additional restrictions on us?
"Old lady, you can go wherever you want to retire in the Ming Dynasty, the fief is a fief, and it is not a prison to draw the ground, not to mention Uncle Hou, even the vassal king now loves to go wherever he goes, as long as he is not treason to the enemy."
Yang Qing said with a smile.
Grandma Qin nodded reassuringly.
"This old lady is very smart!"
Stilwell looked at Grandma Qin, who was satisfied and ready to return to Shizhu's hometown, waiting to finish the last journey of her life, and said with some emotion.
Yang Qing smiled but did not speak.
This is actually a dedication to him.
To put it bluntly, everyone understands that this is the eve of the decisive battle between the surname Zhu and Yang in the Ming Dynasty, and at this time, Grandma Qin took the lead, which was to tell him that the Shizhu Ma family and the Qin family were with him. Don't underestimate Grandma Qin, until today, Shizhu and a few cooperating Tusi around him can still pull out tens of thousands of elite soldiers, otherwise they would not have lasted for more than ten years, even so, our Qing Dynasty did not dare to take down these guys who dared to resist the national ronghe, the Ma family and the Qin family were still Shizhu Tu Emperor. To put it bluntly, Donglin Qunxian's performance is too bad, so that these forces watching the battle outside despise it, and they can't see that these wastes have any hope of victory, so why don't you just support it and win almost surely?
Did the Ma family and the Qin family really get two titles?
Qin Bangping's son Qin Yiming is still the deputy commander of the 17th Infantry Army, and his younger brother Qin Gongming, who originally died in Pingding Shadingzhou, is the brigade commander of the 17th Army! Grandma Qin's grandson Ma Wannian donated the land with Xuanfu, so why do you have to get a similar official position, right? Even if civilian jobs are not available, the local militia control level of military posts is indispensable.
At this time, it is impossible for the Marquis of Zhongyong to treat them badly.
But Yang Qingzhen didn't treat them badly.
Under the fiefdom of the Qin family, there is also a huge salt mine!
"Here we go!"
Yang Qing said.
This is the beginning, the forces of all parties began to express their positions one after another, and the time has come to see that those who support him and the Zhu family will continue to express their positions in various ways in the coming time.
Grandma Qin is just the beginning.
