Chapter 19 Abolition of the Prison Army and State Farms (3)
"Your Majesty, Weichen is a native of Songjiang Huating, in the minister's hometown, the minister has often heard that there are large households operating the computer room, and the business method adopted is called 'the owner contributes to the machine, and the machine owner contributes', I don't know what Your Majesty wants to say about the operation of Zhuangtian, can it be similar to it?"
When he heard what the emperor said, Qian Longxi on the side was the way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What the Zhiwen said is true, but I run the grange, which is an industry incorporated into the empire, and is not comparable to these large private households, and I have decided to build barracks in this imperial village for the use of these farming soldiers, and the soldiers do not need to be prepared for war, but can concentrate on management."
In fact, for Zhu Jian, a large number of idle farms have always been a problem on his mind, but now, the sudden inspiration has allowed him to find a way out.
It is imperative for the army to carry out reform, not to mention this kind of thing, it is the best for Zhu Jian, it can be said that the reduction of the army is even the reason to omit, and once the army is abolished, then the remaining large amount of manpower and material resources can be transferred to the imperial village of the eight mansions of Shuntian, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.
Hearing the emperor's remarks, everyone showed the slightest joy on their faces, but they praised one after another.
"Great goodness!"
"Wen is weak, the cabinet immediately drew up a draft, about the dismissal of the sergeants, go to the Huangzhuang of the Shuntian Eight Mansions to standby, in addition, I will immediately issue an order tomorrow morning to depose the eunuchs in charge of the Huangzhuang, these people do not have to go back to the palace, just settle in situ, and send the Minister of the Household Department to go to the Shuntian Eight Mansions, check the Huangzhuang fields, and draw a book!"
To say that the land of this imperial village has always been managed by these eunuchs sent out from the palace, and there are thousands of these eunuchs who are full of private pockets, and these guys who rely on the imperial power to brutally exploit the peasants have caused continuous resistance from the peasants in the Gyeonggi area.
These days, Zhu Jianquan looked at the history books, during the Zhengde period of the previous dynasty, there were people in Baoding who vainly accused the people of the land as the imperial village, causing the peasants to shake the wilderness, and even beating the state and county officials.
Although during the Jiajing period, Emperor Sejong sent Xia Yan, the first assistant minister of the cabinet, to investigate the Huangzhuang, and renamed some of the Huangzhuang as official lands, and at the same time withdrew the Huangzhuang management personnel who managed the business on their own, and replaced them with state and county officials sent by the household department, that is, "there are departments to manage them". However, in fact, the method of collecting Huang Zhuangzi grains or Huang Zhuangzi silver by eunuchs was maintained until the end of the Ming Dynasty and did not change, so Zhu Jian had the intention to make a thorough change.
And not long after Zhu Jian made the order, Lu Xiangsheng, who had never said a word on the side, spoke at this moment.
"Your Majesty, the minister has been the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion for several years before, and the matter of the Imperial Village has also been heard of a little, Your Majesty is now going to change this Imperial Village to why it is like the Jiangnan machine household, the minister thinks it is excellent, but Your Majesty, now in this Imperial Village, the original Zhuang households, but what should be done?"
Hearing this, Zhu Jian burst into a hearty laugh.
"Jiandou, if it's you, what should this matter be?"
Facing the emperor to ask himself, Lu Xiangsheng said directly.
"Among the villagers, the able-bodied are recruited into the army, and as for the old and weak, it is feasible to cultivate some of their own fields with them."
Regarding what Lu Xiangsheng said, Zhu Jian said with a smile.
"Since Jiandou has such good words, why do you ask me? However, if a grain industry chain is formed, then not only can it supply military supplies, but also surplus grain can be bought and sold, then a series of industrial chains will be formed, and at that time, there is absolutely no need to worry about overcrowding, but there is not enough manpower, in addition to the reform of the Huangzhuang system, I will send special officials to manage, and as for some small officials, in addition to screening some of the sergeants dispatched, you can select useful talents in the original households! ”
"In addition, the Huangzhuang is taken from the people, I think that it should be worthy of the people, not to hurt the people, once the Huangzhuang field has been verified, it can no longer occupy the people's field, and the original Zhuang households or the reduction of the army, it is really a loss of labor, and the Huangzhuang Management Office will give basic protection every year!"
"Your Majesty cares so much about the safety of the world, it is really a blessing for the people and the world!"
In the face of everyone's praise, Zhu Jian waved his hand to signal that it was not necessary, and then he said.
"Tomorrow morning, I will announce this matter in public, by the way, everyone, this land survey of the Huangzhuang is very important, can you have a suitable candidate?"
Everyone was worried about the emperor's question, and after a while, Liu Hongxun, the second assistant of the cabinet, said.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that one person can take on this matter!"
"Who?"
"Fu Zonglong, the head of the household department!"
"Oh, it's him!"
Hearing what Liu Hongxun said, Zhu Jian frowned slightly, this person Zhu Jian knew, Fu Zonglong was simple and loyal, and more strategic, but because he was too upright, he had been stuck in the position of the head of the household department all these years.
Of course, Zhu Jian is Zhu Jian, and he is by no means as petty as Zhu Youzhen, but he will not have a pimple in his heart because the minister said a few words bluntly!
What's more, at this moment, it is very appropriate to appoint this Fu Zonglong to investigate the fields and population of Huangzhuang.
Therefore, Zhu Jian is the way.
"Liu Ge Lao said this very kindly, and when I go to the court tomorrow morning, I have my own arrangements! Ladies and gentlemen, it's a little late today, if you don't dislike it, how about resting in this barracks for the night, and waiting for tomorrow to go to court with me? ”
The emperor wanted to stay here, and everyone naturally didn't say much, but they agreed in unison, but they said that the emperor and the soldiers ate and slept together, but they were also the model of a virtuous monarch!
But said that there was nothing to do all night, after all, the emperor stayed here overnight, and Lu Xiangsheng tightened a rope, but he laid a lot of open and secret whistles outside this handsome tent, after all, there had just been a mutiny, although it was extinguished in time, but it was difficult to ensure that there was no fish that slipped through the net.
The next day, the sky was still a little gray.
Zhu Jian has already woken up, at this moment, several adults in the tent are sleeping crookedly, but Zhu Jian can see that everyone is a little worried about it all night, after all, as an emperor, he stays here overnight, if there is a slight mistake, it will be a catastrophe!
Zhu Jian naturally understands this, and the reason why he can stay here overnight is to stabilize the morale of the army, after all, there has just been a rebellion, although Zhu Jian will not hold those soldiers accountable, but it is difficult to ensure that some of them are still unstable, and the emperor staying in the military camp at night can make those soldiers feel a kind of peace.
In addition, for staying here overnight, Zhu Jian himself had secretly ordered the 'Iron Blood' to make full preparations to ensure that it was truly foolproof.
"Someone! Go to the dining room and make some hot porridge for a few adults! ”
For the emperor's will, a pot of steaming white rice porridge was served in a short time.
"The sergeant standing guard at the door has worked hard, so let's serve a bowl for each of them!"
In the face of the emperor still thinking about them, the guards at the door were a little flattered, but Zhu Jian also smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty, how did you get up so early?"
Just when Zhu Jian was still distributing porridge for everyone, Hong Chengchou opened his hazy eyes and whispered.
Hearing this, Zhu Jian smiled slightly.
"I'm afraid it's time to come here, and the ministers are already waiting to be leaked!"
Regarding what the emperor said, Hong Chengchou, who was still a little sleepy-eyed, suddenly stiffened a carp and turned over, but his mouth was full of thoughts.
"It's bad, it's bad, if it's late and early here, then it won't be impeached by that group of imperial historians?!"
"Everyone, everyone, get up, get up, it's going to be early!"
And with Hong Chengchou's shouting, everyone woke up in unison for a while, followed by a rush of chaos.
......
"Hey, all the secretaries, all the secretaries! Let's listen to my words, and listen to my words, no matter how urgent this morning is, this bowl of porridge still has to be drunk! ”
