"Your Majesty, the minister has one more thing, the minister thinks that the business in the south of the Yangtze River is flourishing, especially in the corner of Jiangdong, which is particularly prosperous, with few farmlands and mulberry fields. That is, the taxes collected in the area of Suzhou, Beijing and Hangzhou are as much as more than 2 million, which is the heavy tax area of our Ming Dynasty, because of the developed commerce, so that the grain has to be transferred from other provinces every year, in Huguang Province, the grain transferred to the east every year is as much as more than 2 million stones, and now the northern part of Huguang has just recovered its vitality, only Hunan can still support it, and the minister wants to implement the farm system in Jiangxi, Fujian and other places, take in those northern refugees who go south, cultivate for the imperial court, and increase grain production......"

"The general wants to implement the farm system, what is a farm, I only know that my ancestors founded the Huangzhuang, and almost all of them were abolished when the first emperor was born, what is this farm?" Zhu Cijiong also asked.

"The farm is the folk transformation model of the Huangzhuang, by the imperial court, recruit displaced people, carry out farming, the grain they harvest, the imperial court is responsible for the collection and storage at a unified price, in order to be called, they pay a certain amount of taxes at the same time, you can get profits, this has three major benefits, one appeases the people in the south, the second is to solve the problem of food shortage, the third is to stabilize the market grain price, it is a good thing for the country and the people, according to the old system, for example, there is a disaster in Songjiang this year, then several surrounding state capitals allocate relief, There needs to be a process, even if the officials are conscientious, the application, allocation, issuance, and transshipment must first be reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court will take a long process to send to the state capital, and some local officials will not care at the beginning, until the disaster expands and cannot be stabilized, so that there will be signs that the people have no food available, and the price of grain among the people will suddenly rise, and there are officials and profiteers who collude to make profits from it and establish farms at the same time, they can prepare to build granaries in various provinces. Timely allocation of stored grain. ”

"But General, didn't you say just now, how to build a farm in the south of the Yangtze River, where there are many mulberry fields and few grain fields?" Zhu Cijiong continued to ask, also learning from Cao Bianjiao.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that he could take back the land of the clan princes and vassal kings from all over the country to form a farm, forgive the words of the ministers, the vassal kings of all parts of the world were useless in terms of the imperial court, and the emperor was also far away, take the nearest Fu Wang, the father of the Fu King and the emperor of the emperor are half-brothers, the Fu King's and the first emperor are just cousins, and the relationship between the son of the Fu King and the emperor is already three generations of estrangement, the emperor may feel affection for them, nothing! There is no need to say anything about King Lu, King Jingjiang, King Zhou, they and the emperor's bloodline pursuit, that has to be counted from the time of Taizu Taizong, belonging to the eight generations of sparse, when the first emperor, the princes of the court, the county king, the general of the town, the general of the auxiliary country as many as tens of thousands of people, eat the tax money and grain of the court, but never for the emperor to share the worries, the state is difficult, should be abandoned, the minister has previously said, accept the honors for the army, serve the court, in addition to the prince, the king of the county, The rest of the people need to fight for the court within the age of the army, otherwise they will be reduced to commoners, and the ministers think that it should be implemented! ”

Xungui is the type of person that Cao Bianjiao hates the most, he can't do anything except create people, and the court has to spend money to support him, what's the point, Cao Bianjiao is a pragmatic person and doesn't want to do such meaningless things.

"If that's the case, then do what the general wants!" Zhu Cijiong has no feelings for those vassal kings, except for his sister Princess Changping and his younger brother Yongwang, Zhu Cijiong has no feelings for the rest of the people at all, so he is very much in favor of Cao Bianjiao's measures.

"Then is the inheritance of the title system, at the beginning of the rebellion of the displaced people, the vassal kings around the country are devastated, so far in addition to the three kings of Huguang and the king of Jingjiang and the king of Yi, the rest of the vassal kings have been scattered all over the place, the minister's intention is to restore the title to them, but do not allocate the land, in order to show the kindness of the court, the emperor's benevolence, each prince can receive one hundred taels of silver, and allocate thirty stones of grain and rice every year to them, and give them a living, and the rest of the clan nobles, allocating acres of land, which is for the ordinary people, it is already a well-off family, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing, For the imperial court, it is not much of a burden. Forcing them to become self-reliant and no longer rely on the court's income to survive, the court would no longer have to bear such heavy expenditures. ”

"Feasible!" Zhu Cijiong nodded again.

"In addition, the minister's suggestion to reorganize the General Administration Department cannot be said to be a reorganization, but to change its duties, and the General Administration Department is in charge of internal and external chapters and the sealed complaints of the subjects, which has no practical effect, and this power is too light, and the minister proposes that the General Administration Department should be added to the authority to supervise the institutions of the world's trade, and in the imperial court, the general administration envoy will take full responsibility, and the left and right general affairs, the left and right senators, and the governors will be in charge, and the experience of setting up the general administration department in each prefecture will count the price fluctuations of grain, tea, salt, edible oil, cloth, and other areas closely related to the people in the prefectures and counties. After the monthly statistics, it will be reported to the General Administration Department, and the General Administration Department will summarize it, so that it can prevent problems before they occur. The minister recommended Zhu Jizuo of the Zhan Mansion to serve as the general envoy and oversee the overall situation. ”

"There are ministers who suggested that the imperial court reform the value of the currency, since the Apocalypse Dynasty, the circulation of silver among the people is getting less and less, and the value of copper coins is getting lower and lower, when the first emperor wanted to allocate military salaries to Liaodong, there was no silver, commerce was prosperous, silver circulation was becoming less and less, and the storage was insufficient, and it was difficult to meet the needs of circulation, and the minister suggested that paper money should be issued, and silver coins should be reminted to stabilize the circulation of silver money and avoid economic collapse......"

"General...... I don't understand these things, it's better for the general to take charge of it, and leave it to the cabinet to decide, after you have discussed it, just submit the recital, as long as it is a matter that benefits the country and the people, I will support the general. ”

Cao Bianjiao can also understand that it is indeed very difficult for Zhu Cijiong, a little emperor who has lived in the deep palace for more than ten years, to understand these things, he reads a subset of scriptures and history, and it is difficult to understand many things at all, such as silver, he doesn't even have many opportunities to see it, because he doesn't need money at all, everything is arranged.

"Obey the order!" Cao Bianjiao also stopped talking, afraid that if he continued, Zhu Cijiong would go crazy.

Reform is imperative, the Ming Dynasty's Zhongxing not only depends on the army, the army is supported by national strength, without strong national strength, the established army will not be strong for long, the first is to abolish Wang Tian for public land, this is not a difficult thing, because today's vassal kings have long been disintegrated, and they can't deal with the court at all, and the other is to let them work for the court, which is also their duty, protecting the country is not only the common people, but also those descendants surnamed Zhu, in addition to regulating the market, it is also a necessary means, Now the most important thing in the south half of the Yangtze River is commerce, because commerce is prosperous, the imperial court's taxes are rich, and nothing is empty talk without money, but in the case of insufficient silver, it is necessary to reform the currency value, these things seem to be independent, in fact, they are inextricably linked, it is just a node on the top of a system chain, Cao Bianjiao can only be repaired point by point, only if it is repaired, Daming can continue to move forward.

Then Cao Bianjiao still said one thing, recommended Fang Yuegong to enter the cabinet, there are six scholars in the cabinet, Shi Kefa is a scholar of Jianji Palace, Yuan Jixian is a scholar of Zhongji Palace, Zhang Shenyan is a scholar of Wenhua Palace, He Wuqi is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and there is no candidate for a scholar of Dongge University, so Fang Yuegong is a scholar of Dongge University, of course, Cao Bianjiao is not a scholar, he is a general who entered the cabinet, and he is a scholar of Wuyingdian University.
