Chapter 707: Thriving

This new policy that benefits all the people does not need to be promoted by the "Da Shun Min Daily" at all, and it has already spread all over the country by word of mouth by the people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 It is a miracle that this kind of transmission is faster than the transmission of "Dashun Minbao" through the post road.

It's just that many people are skeptical and can't believe it. But there are also some people who can't survive and are determined to fight for the future. Yes, the Han people have a heavy rural plot, but that doesn't mean that they don't have a brave and pioneering spirit. As long as the people who can't survive in the township, they have to leave their hometowns in order to make a living. In the official history, the people who broke through the eastern part of the country and went out of the South Seas were all immigrants of this type. Including the three major population integrations, it is like this.

It's just that now the economic situation in Dashun is improving, and the land annexation is not very serious. Especially along the Yellow River, some squires don't want to return to their hometowns, after all, the Yellow River is too restless, and they don't know when it will break again. They took money and silver, crossed the Yellow River, and began to develop to the south. The poor peasants, with the help of the local state and county government, reclaimed the land, using the same new policy, but they had to cultivate for five years before they could get the land deed, and it was limited to the local people.

Starve the faint-hearted, and support the bold. Some people firmly believed that the imperial court would not deceive people, and the first batch of people trekked through mountains and rivers to Jinghu South Road. And most of the county orders that accepted them were Jinshi from Enke High School two years ago, and they were promoted to county orders by Xu Chongguang, which was when they were full of ambition and wanted to make a career. Most of these county orders are young and vigorous, and they have not been contaminated with too much officialdom for the time being, and they are quite upright. It's just that these counties are all small counties with less than 1,000 households, and they are said to be counties, but they are not even as good as some large villages.

The customization of the county officials of the Dashun Dynasty: "More than 1,000 households in the county still have orders, captains, and master books, and all three members; If the household is less than 1,000, there is a member of the cessation order and a lieutenant, and the county order is also the chief bookkeeper; If it is less than 400, the main book and the county lieutenant will be stopped, and the main book will also be the governor of the county; If it is less than two hundred, the main book will be stopped, and the county lieutenant will be served. Counties with more than 20,000 households have an additional county officer, and the county officer is second to the county order and is above the chief secretary and county lieutenant. Because of this, Xu Chongguang made a promise to them, if the county is full of 50,000 households, they can play, and the county will be promoted to the state; If it is full of 200,000 households, the state will be promoted. In fact, the government, state, army, and prison of Dashun are called together. Generally speaking, governments are set up in all localities where politics, economy, and military are attached, military areas where heavy troops are stationed, and prisons are set up in important areas such as industrial areas such as boiling salt and iron smelting. The status of the province is slightly higher than that of the state, so the slightly larger state is more promoted to the state of the prefecture and the state of the prefecture.

Because of this policy, Xu Chongguang was slandered by many political enemies, saying that it was "against the law of the ancestors". But Lu Chengqi supported it and said clearly: "If the population reaches the level and the economy reaches it, how can it not be the state capital?" ”

After being promoted to the state capital, their official positions were also promoted. You must know that the county order of Dashun is from the eighth grade, the big county is the seventh grade, and the prefect is the fourth grade, who can resist this temptation? It's no wonder that the courtiers have criticized it, this promotion speed is too fast, how can others be convinced?

Of course, this prefect is not easy to do. First of all, due to the geographical location, it is a question whether your county can accommodate 20,000 households, let alone 50,000 or 200,000 households. Xu Chongguang just drew a big pie in the air, hoping to stimulate the enthusiasm of officials. I don't dare to deceive, and there is the Supervision Department watching from the sidelines!

Besides, where is the prefect of Dashun so easy to be, it is generally a courtier. For example, Fan Zhongyan, he himself has been an official for decades, but the highest position is the fourth rank of Zhiyanzhou, and there are additional posts of Tulong Pavilion direct bachelor (from the third grade), the governor of political affairs (Zheng Erpin), the privy deputy envoy (Zheng Erpin), etc., but when he was deposed, he was once cut off from the Tulong Pavilion straight bachelor, and the position of governor and privy deputy envoy is still the governor. For example, when Bao Zheng (deceased) was the prefect of Kaifeng, his former title was "Bachelor of Longtu Pavilion in the Ministry of Officials", in which Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Officials was the official grade of the sixth grade, and the bachelor of Longtu Pavilion was an honorary position, indicating that he was very status, and finally he knew that the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion were sent, which was the specific work he was in charge of at that time.

Dashun's official positions are divided into three types: official, post, and dispatch, and the grade is mainly determined by the previous official, and the post is generally an honorary title, and the final dispatch is the real exercise of power. So if you have the title of prefect, or not, this prefect is just an official, it doesn't mean that you are a fourth-rank official, because the prefect is generally a part-time courtier of the fourth grade, and you are just a chance meeting. Even if you are promoted to the prefect, your rank is a few rank or a few rank, and you are not promoted. It's just that when the officials recognize their resumes in the future, their faces are more radiant.

Among them, there are twists and turns, only the old fritters who have been soaked in officialdom for many years know that these small county orders who have just been officials for more than a year are clear? One by one, they were so tempted by this promotion that they screamed and worked hard to vigorously implement the new policy. This is also Xu Chongguang's ability, he knows that the opening of the new deal will inevitably touch the vested interests of some people. But he "hooked up" with the little emperor above, and united with the future officials of the imperial court below, even if his political enemies wanted to criticize him, he couldn't find a good point of focus.

A month has passed, and when the people in the north heard that their relatives and friends who had gone to Jiangnan had really "gotten" the land, and even built adobe houses with the help of the county government, they were all suspicious. It wasn't until before the Spring Festival that they knew that this time the court was not lying. Otherwise, why could some big landlords in the north start to sell their land cheaply?

Some people who had no land looked at all this with cold eyes, and mocked in their mouths: "Let you release money and take away people's fields, now it's okay, you will suffer yourself!" ”

Some discerning landlords sold part of their arable land, and part of it was built into workshops and began to produce goods. For a time, porcelain, folding fans, paper, pottery, lacquerware, brocade, woodware, salt making, iron smelting and car building, winemaking, copperware, tea making, printing, mining and metallurgy, silk weaving, mills, oil mills, machine mills (the latest wooden machines, such as spinning wheels, overturning cars, etc.), sauce mills, cotton mills, sugar mills...... Like mushrooms after a rain, it suddenly "grew" and was very thriving.

Dashun's market is limited, so they resell it overseas. Because Dashun also launched the "Commercial Law" not long ago, to a certain extent, the market has been regulated, so that the quality has a certain guarantee. Therefore, the products of the Central Plains are sold overseas and are sought after by various countries. Because of the reopening of the Silk Road, there is also the artifact of the sea route, and the name of Dashun once again appeared in the West. Of course, that's another story.

In just two months, Dashun underwent earth-shaking changes, and the people applauded and praised the imperial court. However, some people with bad intentions are still slandering the New Deal, intentionally or unintentionally, believing that it is "immoral" and "mercenary". However, it is an indisputable fact that the quality of life of the people has improved and the treasury has been full. In the face of ironclad facts, these ridiculous voices seem extremely powerless.

It just so happened that Dashun at this time after Lu Chengqi guided a bit of ideological reform, many enlightened Confucians, began to accept commercialization, turned into a Confucian businessman, adhering to the "Duanmu legacy", honest management, and even repeatedly won the praise of the local county government and the state government, and sent the plaque of "letter and guinea fish" in the past, which is really a glorious lintel!

With this plaque, it is a gold-lettered signboard, and many businessmen can't ask for it. And this is also a supervisory role, if there is something illegal, the court will take back the plaque. Therefore, after the correct guidance, Dashun's commercial development is just on the right path......
