The gentry paid grain, collected trade taxes, and set up a righteous school, Zheng Xunrui's series of measures made the situation of Nanzhili have changed a lot, you must know that this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also one of the richest places in the Ming Dynasty.

The re-organization of the Zheng family's army, the news still spread some, but Nan Zhili seemed to be very stable, there was almost no public discussion, even the town guard eunuch Fang Zhenghua, did not show any objections, of course, such a situation is not necessarily very normal, but as long as things are done and the place is stable, the rest is nothing.

The position is quite embarrassing is the sergeant of Nanjing Jingying, He Renlong took away 20,000 sergeants and went to Henan and other places to exterminate the Liukou, and the remaining 40,000 sergeants seem to be very redundant, because the Zheng family army is stationed in Moling Town in Nanjing, the role of Nanjing Beijing camp has been infinitely weakened, and the officials and scholars in Nanjing City, etc., have long focused on the Zheng family army.

The influence of Hongmen Qianzhuang and Hongmen is getting bigger and bigger, no one underestimates it, and everyone knows the forces behind it.

And the biggest impact is the change of the officials, everyone knows that the officials of the Ming Dynasty are pitifully low, and it is almost impossible to live by relying on the money, not to mention the officials below, even if it is the seventh-grade or sixth-grade Gyeonggi Prefecture, don't think about being able to feed your family well and live a decent life, in order to be able to live a decent or even luxurious life, the officials have to find ways to make money and greedy for ink, which has become a common practice, so a variety of Bing Jing and Tan Jing appeared.

The magistrate stammered and curried favor with the Beijing officials. In the name of Bing Jing and Tan Jing, gold and silver were sent, and the magistrates also needed a lot of silver to maintain their expenses, and when the wool came out of the sheep, the common people suffered, in addition to bearing the taxes prescribed by the imperial court, there were also many kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. did not dare to say that it would not pay, which led to the burden of the people becoming heavier and heavier, to the point of unbearable.

Zheng Xunrui improved the officials' income, so that the officials could live a decent life by relying on the officials, which was like opening the main door, and the officials could also live a good life if they didn't go to make money, but people's greed was unlimited, so Zheng Xunrui blocked the door while improving the officials' income. That is, strict system and inspection, he implemented an irregular inspection system, Nanjing Sixth Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate always carry out inspections on all the officials of Nanzhili, and all those who find that there are officials who are greedy for ink and oppress the people, regardless of the reason, do not listen to the explanation, will be severely punished.

On this basis, the taxation of Nanzhili was also regulated, and the unexpectedly harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes stipulated by the imperial court were all abolished. No government or official is allowed to expropriate, and the fire consumption in the process of expropriation is so on. It is also abolished.

Zheng Xunrui, who crossed through, knew very well that it was impossible to rely on agricultural taxes to feed the ranks of officials, and only by developing commerce and trade on a large scale and standardizing trade taxes could the government be truly rich and become a strong government.

There are many theories of statecraft. It is not a matter of a day or two to make the country strong and prosperous, but it is necessary to let all those correct theories be implemented and a system formed after a number of years of persistence. A strong country emerges.

Zheng Xunrui is following this path, and he believes that through his own persistence and several years of hard work, he will be able to make an incomparably brilliant country stand in the east of the world.

Although it has passed more than ten years, the theory and road implemented by Zheng Xunrui have just begun, and it has only begun to be fully rolled out and implemented in Nanzhili.

The opposition must exist, and it is the opposition of the so-called elites of the Ming Dynasty, because Zheng Xunrui's policies have harmed their vital interests, but Zheng Xunrui has Zheng Jiajun as the backing, and he has also absorbed and united a lot of forces in the elite group, working hard for the implementation of the new policy, so that his policies can be implemented smoothly, and more importantly, Zheng Xunrui spared no effort to carry out a merciless blow to those stubborn scholars and doctors, so that the voice of opposition to him continues to decrease, So that many policies can be implemented unchanged.

In just a few months, the effect began to be reflected, the people who recuperated and recuperated, really experienced the benefits, their burden was reduced, and they could also get relief from the government when they suffered disasters, so that they would not have no food to eat, let alone starve to death, the people were simple, they were grateful to the government, and their emotions were completely different.

In fact, the government at all levels has also experienced many benefits, the bandits in various parts of Nanzhili have almost disappeared, the local area has become stable, the common people have taken the initiative to pay agricultural taxes, and the occasional disaster-stricken peasant households in villages and towns have also been well resettled, and the so-called Diao people in the past have disappeared almost overnight.

In such a situation, the officials are naturally much more relaxed.

With the approach of the Spring Festival, all parts of Nanzhili began to be lively, the place was stable, everyone wanted to have a good Spring Festival, Nanjing City was even more lively, there was an endless stream of people entering and leaving the city every day, after the twentieth month of the lunar month, the city was almost unable to walk.

Merchants seized this opportunity to make money, and the shops opened before dawn, and they were reluctant to close after dark.

Due to the approach of the Spring Festival, the time of opening the city gate and closing the city gate in Nanjing has also changed, from the original opening of the door at the beginning of the day and the closing of the door at the beginning of the day to the opening of the door at the second hour and the closing of the door at the second hour.

Compared with other households, the Zheng Mansion has become a little deserted.

Many hostesses in the family are busy, Wen Manshan and Dongmei are busy with the affairs of Hongmen Qianzhuang, they go out before dawn, and they can return to the mansion after dark for a long time, Xu Fojia and Yang Aizhen are busy with the affairs of the Investigation Department, and they also have little time at home, Bian Yujing has stayed in the mansion for a while recently because she is pregnant, and only Lotus Ye, who manages things at home, is always in the mansion.

Zheng Hanyu is seven years old, and he is eight years old after the beginning of the year, and he has been studying in the mansion for three years, and the six-year-old Zheng Lingrui, Zheng Lingrou and Zheng Linglan have also been studying for nearly a year.

Although the Spring Festival is approaching, Zheng Hanyu and several younger sisters know that their studies will not relax much because the Spring Festival is approaching, because Mr. Xixi invited by his mother is very strict, and the Spring Festival is spent in the mansion, so they can't completely forget about their studies during the Spring Festival, so as to prevent Mr. Xixi from being unable to answer questions when he takes the school exam.

Mr. Xixi's requirements for Zheng Hanyu are the strictest, as for Zheng Lingrui and other three girls, learning is much easier, and the three little girls have begun to learn qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they are taught by Wen Manshan, Xu Fojia, Yang Aizhen and Bian Yujing, etc., to say that in Nanjing, teaching qin, chess, poetry and painting, etc., no one dares to be arrogant in front of Wen Manshan and others.

On the twentieth day of the lunar month, when the government at all levels began to take spring vacation, Zheng Xunrui had a little more time, and he handled a lot of official business in the mansion, and the whole morning time was to deal with official business, and the afternoon time was to accompany the four children to read and play, Zheng Xunrui has always insisted on this, and Wen Manshan and others are very emotional, many adults in the court, because they are officials in different places, or because they are busy with official business, etc., basically do not accompany their children, these adults are particularly strict in front of children, They all follow traditional Confucianism to establish majesty in front of children, but Zheng Xunrui is completely different.

According to Zheng Xunrui's suggestion, Hongmen Qianzhuang only has seven days of vacation every year, from the thirtieth day of the lunar month to the sixth day of the first month of the next year, after all, the Spring Festival is approaching, Hongmen Qianzhuang is the busiest time, a large number of people come to handle business, Wen Manshan and others naturally have to abide by it.

Fortunately, Wen Manshan and others have been busy for all these years, and they have gradually adapted to it, and with the enhancement of their abilities, there are fewer and fewer discussions from the outside world.

Most of the business handled by the counter of Hongmen Qianzhuang are women, some scholars and scholars have scoffed, thinking that such a practice is not unorthodox and unethical, women must not do good things, and they can not show their heads casually, but as time goes by, the businessmen, scholars and ordinary people who handle the business slowly find that women are more careful, can carefully check each ticket stub, to prevent mistakes, and their attitude is also very enthusiastic, the smile on their faces can infect many people, slowly, Everyone accepted the reality of women doing things in Hongmen Qianzhuang, and even those stubborn scholars and doctors only discussed it in private and would not question it publicly.

Zheng Jiajun's women's battalion invited Lang Zhong a few months ago to start a comprehensive training, mainly to train these female soldiers how to care for the wounded, how to simply implement bandaging, how to quickly treat the wounded and sick, etc., such training, but also aroused everyone's curiosity, the women's battalion was established for a long time, because they didn't know what to do, they were questioned, and now the female soldiers have begun training, and it seems that they are ready to treat the wounded on the battlefield.

The task of training was very tight, and it was still not relaxed until the Spring Festival was approaching.

Of course, Zheng Xunrui is also very concerned about training. (To be continued......)
