First, in addition to a few limited ports in Guangdong, an additional formal maritime trade system was opened, and a royal shipping department was set up to collect customs duties and transportation taxes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Second, the canal sailors in various places were abolished, and the Ming Navy was established to ensure that the open sea trade was not affected by the pirates.

Third, a commercial tax will be levied, but it will not be used throughout the country, and Shandong, Jiangnan, and other provinces along the canal will be opened up as special zones on a trial basis. (similar to Hong Kong SAR)!

Fourth, reinstate the test method, etc.!

Obviously, one of the above four adopted proposals is to prepare for the opening of the Ming Dynasty in the future. One is to better centralize military power, and the impact of collecting commercial taxes is naturally greater, but Zhu Zilong cleverly tried it in Shandong and other places first, which can be regarded as a buffer zone.

It's only about the test method, hehe, it's also important.

From the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it attached great importance to the assessment of the employees of the dynasty, and Emperor Taizu said: "The law of appointing officials is the most important thing to take the exam." Appraisals must be based on the mirror, and the examiner should be determined to weigh the weight. ”

The assessment of officials in the Ming Dynasty was divided into two ways: examination and inspection. The examination is full of job evaluation, focusing on whether the performance of officials during their tenure is competent, and the evaluation results determine the promotion of officials. The examination is conducted once every three years, "one examination in three years, another examination in six years, and a general examination in nine years.

In the evaluation of officials in the early Ming Dynasty, the "examination language" was the most important basis for the evaluation of officials, and it could even directly determine the evaluation results of officials.

Until, in the first year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng, a generation of capable ministers, served as the first assistant of the cabinet.

Soon after Mr. Zhang became the rotating CEO, he made further improvements to the employee appraisal system of the Ming Dynasty. He believes that the fundamental purpose of performance appraisal is to determine the objectives of the appraisal, and at the same time set the deadline for the completion of the objectives, focusing on the results and effectiveness of the work, rather than the fancy evaluation of all parties.

That is, "set up a limit of responsibility, take responsibility for people, and be responsible for practical results".

This is the origin of the "test method"!

The examination law stipulates that the six ministries and the Metropolitan Procuratorate shall set a time limit for the affairs that their officials should do, and register them in three account books, one of which shall be kept by the Sixth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate as the base book, the other shall be sent to the six departments, and the last one shall be submitted to the Cabinet.

The Sixth Ministry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are registered according to the account books and inspected on a monthly basis. For the affairs undertaken by the subordinate officials, each completed must be registered, otherwise it must be truthfully declared, otherwise it will be punished as a violation.

If you fail to pass the assessment once, you will be fined and your salary will be reduced; The second failure will be downgraded; If you fail three times, you will be eliminated at the end.

The test method is a good thing, and it works wonders in terms of throttling.

Before the implementation, the Ming Dynasty lost money year after year, and the annual financial revenue was only more than 5 million taels of silver, and the expenditure was about 8 million taels of silver, and the income could not make ends meet.

However, after the implementation of the examination law, the annual financial revenue increased to nearly 9 million taels, excluding operating costs, the Ming Dynasty still has a profit balance.

There are two main assessment KPIs in the test method, one is the tax collection rate, and the other is the thief capture rate. One is for income generation, the other is for stability, which is also in line with the spirit of the Balanced Scorecard.

During the 10 years that Zhang Juzheng was in power, as many as 30% of the officials of the Ming Dynasty were eliminated. For a while, it can be said that the official was boring.

As a result, the garbage officials and scholars who stepped down were dissatisfied.

There are rumors that have spread to the whole country, claiming, "Zhang Juzheng's test method is against the people who read all over the world"!

Of course, Zhang Juzheng is indeed a capable person, no matter how hard you scold during your reign, you can't move any of his yarn.

However, in the tenth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng died. Before the bones were cold, the hundred officials attacked it in groups, and the result was that the home was raided, the eldest son was forced to hang, the second son and the third son were filled with the miasma of the army, and he himself was almost dug up and whipped out of the corpse.

If, Zhang Juzheng has a long life. On his basis, Daming took another step forward!

Then, the Ming Dynasty may be able to take the lead in the world to enter the ranks of constitutional monarchies. In this way, primitive capitalism in the late Ming Dynasty may be better developed.

It's a pity that history has no assumptions, dead is dead.

"When is the spring flower and autumn moon, how much do you know about the past. Xiaolou had another east wind last night, so the country could not afford to look back at the moonlight. The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but the face has changed. Ask how much sorrow you can have, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward. ”

Could it be that Zhu Zilong doesn't know about these things like death and political death?

Of course he knew, so why did he still have enemies with the garbage officials and the readers?

Hehe, the reason is simple. The time is ripe!

In the past, the strength was not enough, but now all the armies of the Ming Dynasty are on the same page, and it is estimated that they can only have a draw with the Zhu family's army. The premise is that all the armies of the Ming Dynasty are of one mind!

And then Kim, to be honest, couldn't be happy for a few days.

The so-called truth comes out of the barrel of the gun. The current Zhu Zilong is qualified to do anything like Zhang Juzheng. It can be said that you will not be able to touch me when I am alive. You have to listen to what I do, this domineering thing!

It's just a matter of settling my offspring after death.

Huh, do you think it's possible?

Nima, a half-dragon man, can live for more than 1,000 years without repairing his physique. How did the Ming officials confront Zhu Zilong?

Your grandson's grandson's grandson's grandson are all dead, and Zhu Zilong will not die.

He is a Chitose in the true sense of the word, Chimi, Chitose. Even, one day it can really become, long live, long live, long live (life is too long, too good!) ）

In the original history, the Ming Dynasty developed to the Qing Dynasty, and then to the modern 21st century, which was only more than three or four hundred years.

In terms of longevity, who can compete with Zhu Zilong?

Except for the return of the gods in the sky, it can be said that just relying on your lifespan to drag you to death will be a 100% sure win.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty wanted to wait for Zhu Zilong to liquidate him and his descendants after his death, that was true. Sweat!

Basically, Zhu Zilong has never been worried about this.

So, Zhu Zilong believes that it is time to start working on the plan.

…………

Just when Zhu Zilong began to implement the plan on his side, he didn't know that there was also a group of opponents on the other side, who seemed to be very strong, and they also began to act.

These opponents are naturally not Houjin, of course, not other local armies and officials of the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the test method and the canal sailor, there are places to discuss and exploit loopholes, but it is not to the extreme. Ming officials and local troops can still hold on!

Until the final moment comes, you can't feel too much pain, just like boiling a frog in warm water, and the resistance is naturally not intense.

So, you may ask, who is going to die?

It's a businessman!

That's right, it's the big businessmen of the Ming Dynasty.

The initiators are not simple, at this time, they secretly gathered in a big house.

The mansion is very luxurious, the hall is spacious and rich, and the rooms are like a royal palace. The merchants in it are also dressed in brocade robes, and the jewelry decorations are extremely shining, showing the atmosphere of wealth.

Most of these big businessmen of the Ming Dynasty were grain merchants and salt merchants. At the same time, some people also run medicine cloth furs, pawnshops, hotels, money business, tea industry, warehouses and other affairs, all of them have a net worth of millions, less than a million taels of silver, and they are embarrassed to appear here.

What the? Why are most of the rich people grain merchants and salt merchants, you ask?

Oh, in order to solve the problem of food and salary transportation for the border army. The "Open China Law" was implemented to encourage merchants to transport grain to the border gates. Since then, the nine-sided grain and salt merchants have flourished, just like the real estate industry of New China in later generations, it is still a monopoly industry supported by the state, and it is naturally profitable!
