Chapter 316: Labor Reform
If it's a few dozen, it's easy to say a hundred taels, but ..... But he didn't know what to do with all that amount of silver!
For Liu Yi, Yang Ming is actually not good at saying anything, an official like him is the best in the Ming official group. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, in the Ming Dynasty, there may be many such people, who silently adhere to their own morals and values, and even some so-called pedantry.
However, it is precisely with the existence of these people in the Ming Dynasty that although it is full of holes, it still has not completely declined.
sent Liu Yi away, and Yang Ming gradually became idle.
Now his affairs have become very much, in addition to Sinan's affairs, he must personally deploy, even the affairs of Guangdong Coal Group, he must now communicate with that side frequently, during this period, Zhang Wencai was fooled by him to open Yantian.
He believes that with the big killer of cement, as long as the weather is right, then sea salt is not a dream.
In addition, the matter of reopening the side set has been included in the Jinluan Palace.
Throne room.
Yang Yanhe was waiting for the other officials to discuss.
In fact, by now, with the sale of spirits, it can be said that the side set has been opened, but this opening has always been in the hands of the royal family, but now it seems that this matter must be brought to the scene to speak.
"Your Majesty, Princess!" Liu Yu, the imperial historian of Zuodu, took a step forward and said: "Now many places because of the sale of spirits, especially the Horqin grassland and the entire northern tribes, as well as the countries of the Western Regions, now the trade route has been opened, and with the opening of the trade route, China's merchants have flocked to it, according to the household department, the first two months since the commercial tax has shown an obvious upward trend, according to statistics, until last month, the commercial tax has risen nearly three layers!"
And, with the circulation of goods, it is obvious that the harassment in those border places has been reduced, and even the local alien races or countries are still very conscious of protecting those merchants, so Weichen feels that opening a border set is not a bad thing, and while earning a lot of money, it can also promote peace between our countries! ”
Hearing his words, Tobe Shangshu also nodded.
As Liu Yu said, now in the border land, because of the slow opening of commerce, many tribes can buy what they urgently need, even if it is an unfair trade in the eyes of the Ming people, but it is a very good thing for them.
Because they don't have the ability to create these things, especially in bitter cold places, such as the north, such as the grasslands and plateaus, often their demand for spirits and tea is simply a bottomless pit that cannot be fed, no matter how much is pulled, it will be digested.
Jiang Mian smiled slightly, he actually advocated opening the side set, and he had already seen that the matter of the side set this time seemed to be strange.
How could those businessmen possibly ask a local official to play a book?
Moreover, it is said that the coal group was the leader in this incident.
Many people have seen some eyebrows from this!
For example, Yang Ming!
It is the only one with the highest prestige among merchants now! Now Yang Ming has long been revered as a god by those businessmen, and his ideas have also been regarded as classics.
Therefore, Jiang Mian felt that there must be Yang Ming's shadow in this matter.
Jia Jing sat on the dragon chair, watching the deliberations of the ministers of the DPRK and China, he actually had some guesses, this time these ministers even moved out of the righteousness, name and even the people, obviously enough confidence to convince everyone.
He knew that these ministers were not stupid, why had they never mentioned these things before?
The most critical thing was too sudden, as if it was like a gust of wind, and in less than a month, the entire court set off a boom in dominating the side set.
Very unusual!
Jiajing thought secretly in his heart, and then asked Zhang He in front of him, "Zhang Aiqing, how is Yang Ming doing now?" ”
Zhang He is a bachelor in the cabinet, although his rank is not high, but he is a candidate for the future cabinet when he is in the cabinet, so he is naturally valued by Jiajing, and the most important thing is that Jiajing is not easy to ask Yang Yanhe and Mao Ji and others, after all, although the two of them should be very clear about Yang Ming's recent situation, he must give them a certain amount of face, so Zhang He is naturally the best choice.
Sometimes, politics is all about tolerance and understanding!
"Your Majesty, now Yang Ming is burning tiles, according to three days ago, Li Daoyuan, the prefect of Tongren Mansion, played Sinan County and half a month ago with grain, silver as a guide, luring the White Lotus Sect Zhao Changsheng and 50,000 anti-thieves who broke through Yanjiang County to enter Sinan City, and then closed the city gate, blocked it with a boulder, and cut off its grain for six days, and then the Tongren prefect led the officials of the prefectures and counties in its territory and more than 1,000 soldiers of the Tongren garrison to win in one stop! More than 20,000 thieves were killed at once, and more than 30,000 were captured alive, but ....."
He didn't say any more, because there were two issues involved, first, Yang Ming was arrested by Zhao Changsheng, and obviously there was responsibility involved.
After all, Yang Ming is the treasure of the Ming Dynasty now, and he was taken away by the White Lotus Sect demons under the condition of victory, which is undoubtedly a dereliction of duty by some people!
Second, it is about the 30,000 homeless people, that is, the anti-thieves. In this matter, according to the law, it should be beheaded! In fact, this is also a kind of routine, neither the court nor the emperor can tolerate the rebels alive and the army!
After all, rebellion means the denial of the current imperial power and even the imperial court, feeling that the current emperor and the imperial court are useless and have been eroded, so they will rebel! Then this can illustrate the problem, that is, these people have become enemies, even an opposing enemy, so whether it is for political reasons, or for reasons of the opposing sides, or for the sake of killing chickens and monkeys, these people must die.
However, Yang Ming or Li Daoyuan, even the whole of Tongren and even Guizhou, did not do this.
That's why he had some hard time talking!
After all, Yang Ming's influence in the imperial court is not small, and even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have indirectly or directly benefited from him, but when Jiajing asked, he was a little silent.
"But what?" Jiajing is no longer the first time he ascended the throne, and now he has gradually matured, especially after he has enough money in his hand and begins to grasp a certain right to speak, and because of the implementation of the post ticket, he has enough fame, and his position as emperor has been firmly established.
Zhang He looked at Yang Yanhe on the side, and seeing that Yang Yanhe was smiling and silent, he said slowly: "Your Majesty, Yang Ming was arrested by the White Lotus Sect demon!" ”
"What? Yang Ming was arrested? Jiajing was immediately furious, Yang Ming's importance to him and to the imperial court was self-evident, but he was actually arrested by a group of demons from the White Lotus Sect?
Immediately, he slapped it hard in front of the case!
"Smack!"
A bang!
Long Yan is furious!
Almost all of them were shocked!
You must know that since Jiajing ascended the throne, it can be said that he has never been so angry, and it can be seen that Yang Ming's status in his heart is not low, and he has even imperceptibly influenced Jiajing's decision.
But such a person who is valued by Jiajing and the princes of the court was actually arrested by a group of demons, this is a kind of irony!
The dignified Ming Qipin County Order was arrested, and he was arrested under the protection of the army!
"Your Majesty! Although Yang Ming was arrested by Zhao Changsheng, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Yang Ming has escaped from danger and is now guiding the people of Sinan to start clearing the wasteland and firing tiles! Zhang He only felt dizzy in his head, thinking in his heart that this Jiajing Ye would inevitably value Yang Ming too much, right? It's just a false alarm, is it worth all the fuss?
Although he thought so, he didn't dare to say it, thinking about Liu Yi, who was still playing with mud in Sinan, he was a little funny.
Liu Yi's guy is a person who doesn't know current affairs, he actually dares to bet with Yang Ming, he doesn't look at who Yang Ming is, can the person who is known as Daming's golden idea be an ordinary person? Okay now, I can't stay in the capital anymore, it's not bad to go to a poor place like Sinan to play in the mud, right?
"Huang Jin, remember, I will let the officials choose a new garrison later, as for the previous Tongren garrison, I think he will go to the north to be a thousand households, this person can't be used!"
Jiajing thought twice and made this decision.
Now that this matter has been settled, someone must come forward to settle the bar.
And the original Sinan garrison is obviously a figure who takes it out to fix the bar.
In these years, no one will object to such a punishment, after all, this seems to have become a rule, but everyone will do it whenever there is something.
Immediately, Jiajing asked again, "What about those thieves?" ”
Zhang He had no choice but to continue to answer: "Those anti-thieves are now building a new Sinan City in Sinan, according to Li Daoyuan, Yang Ming means to let those people make meritorious contributions!" Well! It seems that Yang Mingxin came up with a solution, which is to let those guilty people wash away their sins through labor, which seems to be called labor reform, which means labor reform! ”
"Laogai!" Yang Yanhe couldn't help but be surprised!
"Hmmm! It's the labor reform! Zhang He said with a tangled face: "When Yang Ming was still in the capital, His Majesty promised Yang Ming the right to arbitrariness in the court, and he was directly controlled by His Majesty, so although Governor Li had the intention to dissuade him, he had no power to supervise it, so he ......"
At this time, Jiajing seemed to fall into silence.
He knew this matter very well, but what made him silent was not that Yang Ming did not kill the heads of those thieves, but because of this labor reform.
He thought for a while, then looked at Yang Yanhe, who was about to speak, and asked, "What does Yang Gong think of this matter?" ”
Jiajing's meaning, Yang Yanhe naturally understood.
In the court, you must not only have enough wisdom, but most importantly, you must be able to figure out the psychology of others.
Obviously, Yang Yanhe knew Jiajing's thoughts very clearly.
After all, it is not a big deal to kill those homeless people in their opinion, killing them can naturally be intimidating, and it makes sense not to kill nature, such as a person who loves the people like a son, such as a high hat that pities the people can make Jiajing or the court full of light.
Yang Yanhe hesitated for a moment before he said: "Your Majesty, Yang Ming's strategy of labor reform is the direction of the imperial court in the next five years of the Ming Dynasty!" At the beginning, Yang Ming also analyzed this matter to the old minister, and there should be three benefits! ”
As soon as he said this, except for Jiang Mian and the others, they all looked at Yang Yanhe.
They hadn't heard of it.
However, since Yang Yanhe said this, it was obvious that not only they knew about this matter, but also their family background, but it seemed that this matter should have happened five years later, but they didn't expect that Yang Ming had actually started to do it now.
Everyone couldn't help but be secretly frightened, they couldn't imagine that Yang had already discussed this matter with Jiajing and the three ministers of the cabinet a long time ago, obviously, this deployment should be very critical.
Jiajing smiled and said to the hundreds of officials: "If so, please also ask Yang Gong to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of this labor reform now, anyway, since Yang Ming has already started to act, then we might as well discuss it, it just so happens that I also want to hear your opinions today!" ”
Jiajing has long been a little moved by the policy of labor reform, after all, such a thing is beneficial to the imperial court and even for him, and this can't help but solve the problem of prisoners or criminals, the key is to be able to realize a possibility that no one has ever dared to think of, that is, the people do not give more! The real people are not endowed!
Think about it, since Pangu opened the world, who doesn't want to have a good reputation if he is a monarch?
However, the people's lack of endowment is an eternal topic! This people's non-increase is not to increase the taxes already paid, but to prevent the people from paying taxes! This is clearly a universal idea, and this idea has already been worked by so many people for this goal.
It's just a fantasy!
But when Yang Ming proposed this strategy at that time, he felt that it seemed that this matter was not impossible.
Because of the existence of captives and criminals, then they can work as laborers, perform servitude, work and even do other things, and then gradually reduce the taxes of the people by paying taxes in combination with commerce, so as to achieve the goal of paying a small amount of taxes or never increasing them!
Of course, this is just a speculation, just a fantasy, but this assumption of Yang Ming undoubtedly has considerable implementation!
Therefore, Jiajing has a hundred expectations for this labor reform policy.
"In this way, the old minister will analyze one or two!" Yang Yanhe slowly stood up, he didn't think there was anything good about Yang Ming's method at first, but as Yang Ming continued to explain later, he realized that it seemed that this labor reform policy was really good.
It is only in this way that he has slowly studied, and even he, Jiang Mian, and the cabinet have discussed the possibility of implementing this matter more than once.
You must know that as long as this policy is implemented, he will do it for sure, although it may not achieve the expected effect, but ...... It will definitely have a certain effect!
For example, in a county, there are a number of criminals, and then there are a number of prisoners on the battlefield, at least one problem can be helped by the local government, that is, conscription! After having them, the government doesn't even need the people to participate in those construction or other work at all, so the martial arts have relieved them a lot of pressure!
