436 The process of reform
PS: Thank you for the support of Xunyang!
When two people meet in the base, it is usually like this.
"Good morning, what time was last night?"
"It's not an hour, it's just three watches in the middle of the night."
Or something else: "You didn't read last night, don't you want a piece of land?" ”
"How do you know?"
"There's no light in your house!"
"I'm sorry, I borrowed the wall!"
“……”
Joining the field army is a physical fitness requirement, and not everyone has when. But reading and literacy is suitable for everyone, from young children to the elderly, as long as they have the heart, they can do it. And the Chinese's longing for land since ancient times has invisibly whipped them to consciously learn.
This crazy atmosphere of national learning surprised Zhao Yueya, who was buried in sorting out the written law. To be honest, she originally looked down on those simplified characters. Also, she didn't use a brush when writing, but used charcoal or quills, which made her even more disdainful.
However, under the influence of this atmosphere, Zhao Yueya is destined to be a member of the Heavenly Army, as long as she is Chinese, she naturally desires to own her own land, which makes her have to pay attention to simplified characters, pay attention to that strange pinyin literacy.
When she really paid attention, Zhao Yueya was surprised. She has completely experienced the learning process of old-style Confucianism, and knows how difficult it is for a person to become a scholar.
But now this kind of pinyin literacy, blackboard teaching and simplified Chinese education system is really much easier to learn than before. Seeing this crazy learning method of the whole people, for some reason, she suddenly had a creepy feeling.
For her, she couldn't imagine how terrible it would be if everyone in the base area had cultural knowledge. And these have an impact on the cultural system of the Ming Kingdom. And how huge!
At this moment, she had to get to know the young leader again. Before that, she thought she had overestimated the young leader. Unexpectedly, the more I came into contact with him, the more I felt that young man was talented.
No, no, no, it can't be measured by talent. He is more holy than a saint! Since ancient times, saints have generally only had outstanding knowledge in one aspect, but I didn't expect that this young man had the ability to be a saint in almost every aspect. God has sent down such a strange person, is it really ordinary people who want to be the masters of their own affairs?
Hu Guang, who was praised by Zhao Yueya to such a height, was still having a headache at this time. Although public ownership is beginning to transform like private ownership, this first step of reform is carried out. But even this first step of reform is too much, too much brain-consuming.
Consecutive meetings. Successive discussions on this first step of the reform plan and the refinement of all aspects of the reform occupied most of Hu Guang's time for a while.
Not long after the plan was announced, some supplementary provisions were announced. For example, what punishment should be imposed on those who violate military law on the battlefield?
The simplest example is the Celestial Army's stipulation that all seizures must be returned to the public. This is not possible in the old army, but in the heavenly army. There are such regulations to prevent this from happening.
In case of private possession of seized property. If it is discovered, not only will the seized property be confiscated, but the property will be converted into the corresponding land value, and then the military merit will be calculated, and then the person's military merit will be subtracted. If you don't do it, you can be demoted from sergeant to private, or even kicked out of the field army directly. In this way, the sergeant corresponds to the land treatment. It will also be confiscated.
This is a heavy fine, and the cost of taking possession of the seized property will be extremely large. Before anyone reaches out, they should think about whether it is worth it. And if it is reported, the whistleblower will be counted as a military meritorious, and the size of the military merit will be calculated according to the amount of property.
And so it goes. If you want to take possession of the seized materials without permission, you must also prevent anyone else from discovering them, which in turn reduces the possibility of violating the law.
Of course, whether these measures can change the name of the Heavenly Army and make them different from the old army from now on remains to be tested by practice.
In addition, the concept of a bank is also involved in this reform, and it is a central bank with the right to issue currency.
The replacement of metal money with paper money is the trend of historical development and is the inevitable result. As Hu Guang, who has crossed over in later generations, knows this better than anyone else.
However, there is no such talent in Hu Guang's hands, and there is not even a person who has been a shopkeeper. There are many conditions that are not available, such as printing technology, anti-counterfeiting technology and so on.
But fortunately, the experiment is currently in a base area with only a few tens of thousands of people, and the environment is closed. Although the banknotes that Hu Guang planned to make were very simple, they could not be imitated by other people in the area.
But with the development and growth of the Heavenly Army, after people inside and outside of themselves begin to focus on these banknotes, there will be a banknote crisis. However, when the time comes, the banknotes called the Heavenly Army will definitely have to be updated.
There is also the issue of the credit of banknotes. For the time being, because the transformation has just begun from public ownership, everyone has no private property, and this banknote has Hu Guang's prestige as an endorsement, so there is no problem for the time being.
However, this problem should also be solved as soon as possible, and it cannot be solved after the problems of paper money become popular in the future. What Hu Guang intends to implement is the gold and silver standard that is currently acceptable to the people.
Of course, there is no business at all in the base area at present, and almost all supplies are for public use. Even if you have banknotes for the time being, there is nowhere to spend them. It is estimated that it will have to wait for a long time, until private ownership is promoted, and after waiting for the accumulation of time, it can come in handy for paper money.
As soon as this reform began, it was not possible to help Hu Guang. He must improve the details of each reform in a timely manner, otherwise problems will arise. Because of this, Hu Guang is even busier.
This also gave him a hint of enlightenment. Thanks to the fact that the Heavenly Army was established by oneself, thanks to the fact that there are no old intellectuals in the Heavenly Army, thanks to the fact that the officers and men of the Heavenly Army are all simple ordinary people who seek to survive, thanks to the fact that the scale of the Heavenly Army is not large at present, and thanks to the fact that the Heavenly Army is located outside the Guan, there is no interference from external factors. It's like a blank slate, and you can let yourself experiment with reform.
Otherwise, if Emperor Chongzhen is replaced and wants to carry out such a reform, no, even if he wants to try a little reform, it is estimated that there will be many resistances.
Speaking of Emperor Chongzhen, he is currently having a headache in the Wenhua Palace! The disaster and civil unrest in Shaanxi have become more and more serious, and the courtiers at the bottom can no longer cover it up and have to report it to the imperial front.
Speaking of which, this is still due to the Heavenly Army. At that time, the Ming army in Shaanxi made every effort to suppress the civil rebellion, and Hong Chengchou was even more guerrilla everywhere, seeing that he was about to suppress the civil rebellion, but the heavenly army made a big movement in northern Shaanxi and Baodezhou City, so that the governors of the three sides had to dispatch the elite from all over the country to advance to suppress the heavenly army, which led to the comeback of the civil rebellion in various places, and there was such an unmanageable situation now.
