The fish scale book, also known as the fish scale atlas, the fish scale atlas, the fish scale book, the fish scale book, and the measurement book, is a kind of land register book since the Song Dynasty, which arranges and connects the houses, mountains, forests, ponds, and fields in order to indicate the corresponding name, and is the general book of the folk fields. Because the shape of the field is like fish scales, it gets its name. The Yellow Book, also known as the Yellow Book of Enlistment, is a household unit that contains in detail the household registration information of the members of the household such as the township (hometown), name, age, dingkou (number of people), field house, assets, etc., which is the registration document for the management of household registration in the Ming and Qing dynasties and the basis for the execution of conscription and assignment.

"Ke Qing, it's been more than a year, but it's been hard work."

Looking at the cadastral fish scale books and household registration yellow books of Yingtian, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, Jiaxing, Huzhou, Taiping, Chizhou, Xuanzhou, Guangde and other prefectures in Jiangnan, northern Zhejiang, and Zhili Prefecture piled up in front of him, and then looked at the black and thin face of Ke Dingkai, the former head of the Yingtian Experience Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Zheng Kezhang couldn't help but be a little moved.

"Sharing the sorrows of the Lord is what a minister should do."

Having said that, Ke Dingkai is actually still a little worried, not because he cut corners in the process of clearing the acres and clearing the population, but because Zheng Kezang's newly established shogunate of recruiting generals does not have the institution of the Camp Field Division, and I don't know how Zheng Kezhang will place his Ke Dingkai, which is really a bit of a loss.

"If there is a punishment, meritorious service is a reward, which is also what Lone should do." While speaking, Zheng Kezhang paced in front of the thick pile of books, picked up a book and flipped through it casually, and put it back. "Spread the will of the orphans." The housekeeper who was accompanying him on the side immediately took out his pen and ink and waited for it. "Awarded a third-class medal of loyalty and diligence to the officials, soldiers, and civilians who participated in the clean-up of the fields in the south of the Yangtze River in northern Zhejiang, and gave a funeral pension of 100 taels of silver to those who died of illness due to accumulation, and promoted a son to study in the county school."

Ke Ding hurriedly thanked Zheng Kezang, this is not sycophancy, you must know that Jiazhang is very important for the promotion of the living, and letting the deceased's son enter the county school is to open his way to enter the government - Ming Zheng's school is the same as the previous dynasty, and the same is that the student not only does not have to pay money, but also has a subsidy for room and board, pen and ink, and books; The difference is that as long as the county school is not completed, the student can choose to continue his education or become a junior official.

"The reward is also rewarded, and then Ke Qing will continue to take out the results of the Qingzhang of Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi and Guangdong provinces." After giving a sweet date, Zheng Kezhang put a bigger burden on Ke Dingkai's body. "Although the feudal domain is not forbidden, it is still necessary to know the amount of taxes and conscripts that should be paid."

"I understand." In fact, he is very clear about Zheng Kezang's intentions, yes, although Zheng Kezhang does not prohibit mergers, but has a great taboo on private reclamation of new fields, so his focus of work is hidden on the side of the inventory, not only that, Zheng Kezhang also intends to institutionalize the Qingzhang for a long time, the current inventory of one province after another, and then start a new round of inventory from scratch after the last province is completed, so that Zheng Fan's control of the local area has reached an unprecedented level in the process of continuous inventory. "Ministers must do their best."

"That's very good." Zheng Kezhang nodded with satisfaction, and then he seemed to think of something, so he opened his mouth and said. "Ke Qing, although the Yingtian Division has been abolished, now Qing's responsibilities are very heavy, and none of them are wronged." Ke Ding's head jumped wildly and listened to Zheng Kezang say. "Qing is already the third grade, so let's do it, Lone gives Qing the title of minister from the second grade, and it is also convenient to negotiate with the local government when he is clear."

Ke Dingkai knelt down and thanked him at the moment, speaking of which, his previous Zhengsanpin was promoted to the position of the corresponding household squire, and he didn't plan to win another level this time, let alone to be able to serve as the minister of the interior of Zheng Kezang's cronies.

"Speaking of which, this Minister of the Interior is still wronged." Don't look at Ke Dingkai was already pleasantly surprised, but Zheng Kezhang seemed to feel that this reward was not enough, so he took out another carrot to tempt. "If it weren't for Master Ke's current position as counselor, the secretary and a cabinet minister would be enough to be competent."

The Master Ke in Zheng Kezang's mouth is naturally Ke Dingkai's father Ke Ping, and the counselor is the deputy governor of Zheng Kezang's new policy system, but Zheng Kezhang later felt that Pingzhang's military affairs and political affairs were a little old-fashioned, so he changed them to the prime minister's cabinet minister and the counselor's cabinet minister. In the same way, the so-called cabinet ministers are the ministers before them.

"The king praised," Ke Dingkai was surprised and happy at the moment, happy that Zheng Kezang's evaluation was very high, and he might also enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future, and what surprised him was the so-called father and son in the same dynasty, and the hidden insinuation of the powerful ministers, so he hurriedly said humbly. "How dare a minister be in the same column as his father."

Zheng Kezhang flicked his hands indifferently, half encouraging and half beating, and said: "Qingda can enter the cabinet as the goal, as long as he does his part, he is very happy to see a good story."

Not long after Ke Dingkai withdrew, Tang Kaishan, the minister of the meeting office of the Quanxiang Yamen, the right attendant of the household department, and the former official of the Baoquan Experience Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, was led in by the inner servant. I saw that after he bowed to Zheng Kezang, he presented the plate in his hand before, and his own chamberlain handed it over to Zheng Kezang's hand.

"This is a sample of Baokang Yinguan and Baokang money?" Zheng Kezhang looked at the coins in his hand carefully, and asked in his mouth, the so-called silver guan is a kind of suppressed silver coin imitated by Zheng Fan according to the style of foreign money and cake money that are common in Jiangnan, Fujian and Guangdong, and Baokang is the era name drawn up by Zheng Kezhang for Zhu Cijiong. "Let's talk about it carefully."

"Obey." Tang Kaishan responded, and started talking immediately. "Baokang silver weighs seven coins, with a silver content of eighty percent and five cents, and the remaining one-fifth is divided into copper, tin and lead." The silver content of Baokang Yinguan cannot be compared with the Kuping silver, which is commonly known as snowflake silver, and even the miscellaneous silver with a silver content of 92.5% and the Spanish silver coin with a silver content of 9o% that are mainly circulated in the market may not be able to match it, which can be described as the bad currency among the bad coins, but Zheng Kezang's purpose is to use the bad money to expel the good money, so as to drive the gold, silver and copper coins circulating in the market away from the market. "The goods are worth a thousand wen, which is a full penetration."

Zheng Kezhang looked down at the silver coin in his hand, and sure enough, he found the words [Zhidang Qianwen] that Tang Kaishan said, so he frowned and asked, "Can it really be used consistently on the market?" ”

Zheng Kezhang naturally didn't want his elaborate Yinguan to become as creditless as the Daming treasure banknote, but Tang Kaishan replied with confidence: "The king is relieved, judging from the original trial Wuding Yinguan, because the production is exquisite, it is not easy to forge, so the market is rarely circulated."

Zheng Kezang was stunned, there is no circulation, what else can be happy about?

Just when he was puzzled, he heard Tang Kaishan explain: "The ministers think that this just shows that the people have recognized the value of Yinguan."

Zheng Kezhang thought about it seriously, there is indeed some truth, according to the theory of bad money driving out good money, it is valuable that can be collected, so that it can not be done temporarily with two changes, but he can get a part of the money interest in advance, so he opened his mouth and asked: "Can the spring goods yamen be sure that the silver and silver in various places will be squeezed out?" ”

Zheng Kezhang thought very clearly, as long as there are no weighted silver taels on the market, it is impossible for the silver to be out of circulation.

"I think I'm sure, but." Tang Kaishan suddenly took a turn. "The minister asks the king not to promise to use silver to offset the silver class in this year's spring and autumn seasons."

Tang Kaishan's intention Zheng Kezhang understands without guessing, that is, before Baokang Yinguan has not been circulated in large quantities, the silver will be withdrawn as much as possible, but whether the currency can establish credit depends on whether the official can accept itself, so Zheng Kezang naturally denied Tang Kaishan's request.

Looking at Tang Kaishan's depressed face, Zheng Kezhang comforted: "Qing's kindness in managing the country's finances is understandable, but the vision should be long-term, and there is no need to compare the baht, as long as the silver can be widely circulated, the recast money and interest will continue to flow." ”

Zheng Kezhang has such an attitude, what else can Tang Kaishan say, so he has to bow his head and accept it. At this time, Zheng Kezang's eyes moved to a few copper coins placed on the side of the silver coin, these copper coins are a total of two copper coins, the largest denomination is the twenty brass coin, the size is about two-thirds of the diameter of the silver through, followed by the bronze big coin of Dangwu, the diameter is the same as the brass coin, and then the diameter is only half of the big coin, and finally the same size as the brass coin.

Looking at the size and thickness of these copper coins, Zheng Kezhang asked again: "Tang Qing, how is the face value of these coins calculated, and once they circulate in the market, will there be bad people who melt some small coins and recast them into big coins to disrupt the market?" ”

Tang Kaishan was speechless when Zheng Kezang asked, and Zheng Kezang shook his head: "Qing went back and calculated." ”

Tang Kaishan was ashamed and wanted to retreat, but Zheng Kezhang called him again: "Tang Qing, in addition to paying attention to coinage, there is another matter that must not be slackened. ”

Tang Kaishan said at the moment: "Please rest assured, the relevant regulations on the operation of the money village can be presented by the ministers within a month." ”

"Is there a margin item?" Tang Kaishan hurriedly said no, so Zheng Kezhang commanded. "It must be added that in case of collapse, although the big household is in pain, it will not hurt the vitality, but the small household will be bankrupt in an instant, so we must try to make up for it in advance." Tang Kaishan was a little unimpressed, but Zheng Kezhang insisted that he would not say no. "In addition, the opening of the money village has been approved by the provincial branches of the Quanxiang Yamen, but the liquidation must be handled by the Yamen, that is, the Taxation Department, and the rights and responsibilities must be clarified separately."

Tang Kaishan replied again: "Yes." ”

"Also, the money bank should be divided, and those with insufficient reserves are not allowed to operate within the scope"

Tang Kaishan, who took a series of instructions, retreated, but Zheng Kezang's work was not over, no, Cai Hanxiang, the head of the Supervision Yuan, asked His Majesty to see him again
