Chapter 210: What is Abundance (Part II)
And almost all the ministers looked at Yang Ming, and today Yang Ming can be regarded as offending almost all the officials in the world!
"And what I call abundance, food and the number of people are only part of abundance!" Yang Mingyu was not shocked, and continued at the moment: "To measure whether a place is rich or not, we should look at the following aspects! ”
"First, standardize the average number of people in a region! Take a medium county as an example, the county has a population of 100,000, then based on this, then other counties must meet this standard for so long when the land is almost equal! Second, the average age of natural death of the population! That is to say, in addition to unnatural deaths, such as natural disasters, man-made disasters, vendettas, etc., the age of natural death is also an evaluation benchmark! Third, the birth and mortality of the fetus! Here we can see the health situation and medical situation in the prefecture, so as to make a judgment! Fourth, the popularization of education, which is what we often call education! The popularization of education directly affects the wisdom of the people, from the village school, books, teachings and the number of children enrolled in school, the time limit can easily grasp the education situation of a place, the above points plus the food endowment, and the living standards of the local population, then we can judge whether a county is really rich! ”
Yang Ming talked eloquently, he even only took out part of the so-called standard value of wealth and poverty in later generations, but even so, it made the entire hall fall to the ground!
This standard is very simple, and even only needs an order from the imperial court to be able to collect data from all over the country, after all, these things are not difficult, no matter which county has six room stewards, whether it is death, birth, or even education, you can also collect information from the local school, but such a standard for measuring the wealth They can even foresee, almost half of the so-called rich counties are not up to the mark!
Because no one has ever brought it up at all!
Although Yang Ming's standards seem to be a bit of a slap in the face, everyone present knows that only this assessment is the most correct!
The average population directly represents the local labor force, the age of natural death of the population represents whether the local clothing is sufficient, the birth and mortality of the fetus are related to the medical conditions and whether the sanitary conditions are up to standard, and the popularization of village schools and books and the number of children enrolled in school directly represent the popularization of culture.

"Good! Well said! ”
The whole hall was silent, but Jiajing cheered, it was the first time he had heard such insightful comments on the rich and poor, originally he just regarded Yang Ming as a more profitable courtier. Now it's different, he feels that it seems that Yang Ming is more prominent in governance than financial management, and saying these points so profoundly shows that Yang Ming already has ideas, so he can put forward this theory of wealth and poverty, and the place where he is about to take office will definitely be implemented according to this standard.
"Yang Ming, what you said is very good. But you have to know that it is easy to say and do, but it is not the same thing, the poorest county old man you said has at least twenty in his head, all of which are places where he is not full of food and clothing, and the old man does not say that according to your standards, you can choose one of the twenty counties here, as long as you can have the general wealth of your hometown Hongcheng, and when you come back, the old man will open the way for you to return to this capital, okay? ”
It was Yan Song who spoke, he stood up and said that on the one hand, it was to give the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty a step, and on the other hand, he was also worried about Yang Ming, after all, it was easier said than done, and the reason why many places were poor and sparsely populated was that there was no local output at all! For example, in Yunnan. The world is full of tropical rainforests, **** mixed, mosquitoes, poisonous insects are all over the ground, not to mention growing crops, there is not even a good mountain road, and the people who live in those places don't even have a pair of shoes are too many, such a place can you expect to become a rich county?
Therefore, he said that it was actually great for Yang Ming to be able to meet half of Hongcheng's standards, at least everyone present felt that was the case.
"Teacher!" Yang Ming first arched his hand to Yan Song, and then said with a smile: "The student has a brother named Zhang Wencai!" ”
"Zhang Wencai?" Yan Song was stunned, he really hadn't heard of this name.
But someone answered right away. Huang Jin, the person who answered, only listened to him: "Zhang Wencai, a person from Hongcheng in Shuzhong, Xiucai in Suizhou in the first year of Jiajing." Acquaintance with Yang Ming from Hongcheng, it is said that this person has a super strong memory, but he seems to lack understanding! ”
"Not bad!" Yang Ming nodded and said: "My brother once said a sentence, the original text is my brother Yang Zile, who is only eight years old and rich and five cars!" Although Yang Ming didn't dare to hold it up, he was also familiar with the sage's articles. For me, the so-called poverty wants to be rich very simple, just give me a county, whether it is a middle county or a lower county, three years! I only need three years, I will give the court three million taels of silver, of course, I can't pay the first year, what money do I need for the benefit of the local people! ”
"Yang Zile, your tone is inevitably too big, did you rush in the water at the time of three million taels of silver?" Yushitai Yushi was indignant, what Yang Ming said just now should have been what they said, which undoubtedly seemed to be a bit of a corpse, and Yang Ming actually dared to say that he would dare to pay three million taels of silver to the imperial court in three years for a county, which is a bit deceitful!
You must know that even now, all the taxes in the entire Ming Dynasty add up to only four or five million taels of silver a year, of course, the income of post tickets and spirits and other businesses is not counted, but even if such a poor county is not to mention three million taels of silver in three years, even if it can pay 300,000 taels of silver, it is already a shocking political achievement, and three million is estimated to be scraping the land.
Since it is impossible, it is a bully!
"You can not believe what others say, but you must believe what I say!" Yang Ming said calmly: "Do you dare to make a bet, how about you watch me pay three million taels of silver for the imperial court in three years?" If I can't thank the world with death, if you do it, you will be my master for three years in the future! ”
"Liu Yi can't!" I saw Yang Ming make a bet. Concentrate. Yang Yanhe hurriedly wanted to persuade Yushi, Liu Yi was his name.
"Good! Deal! Liu Yi responded immediately, then strode forward and knelt down directly to the distance of three zhang below Jiajing, and said loudly: "Liu Yi, the imperial history of the Liupin Zuodu, implores to be transferred to the county where Yang Ming serves to be the first main bookkeeper, one is responsible for the accounts, and the other is to supervise whether Yang Ming violates the law!" ”
His voice was unusually loud, and the whole hall could hear it clearly!
Jiajing looked at Yang Ming and saw that he was still smiling, and he was also happy in his heart at the moment: "Yes!" ”
