Chapter Ninety-Three: Yongzhi

Zhu Houhuang talked together, and immediately said with great interest: "The biggest evil government of the dynasty is that the officials have no feudalism and the officials have feudalism. ”

"Insightful." Tang Yin couldn't help but be surprised, and for a while felt that the person sitting in front of him was not a vassal king, but a scholar.

The ancients had long been knowledgeable about the fact that the officials were not feudal and the officials were feudal, from Lu Xiangshan in the Southern Song Dynasty to Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi in the late Ming Dynasty. Some of these things have been seen by Tang Yin, and some have not been seen. But the information that Zhu Houhuang got was just something that was purified and summarized by later generations, but Tang Yin survived under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, from the young to the impoverished and destitute of old age, the wind and waves, he had never seen anything, and he was deeply touched by this sentence.

Zhu Houhuang saw Tang Yin praising himself, and he was even more proud in his heart, and finally found some self-confidence, and said: "Therefore, I think that the system of Yongguo is one official." But all officials have to start from small officials, so Han Feizi's words, the prime minister must start from the state and county, and the fierce general must be drawn from the army. This is the core of the system of the Lonely Nation. ”

Tang Yin's face sank suddenly, it was easier said than done.

After Tang Yin's fraud case, someone found him an errand, that is, to be a small official in the Zhejiang Political Embassy, but Tang Yin would rather starve to death than go.

It is easy for Zhu Houhuang to raise a problem, but it is never easy to solve a problem.

"Your Highness, there is no one for Your Highness now. If you want to recruit talents, you must be a high-ranking official. No scholar wanted to come to this remote place. Come and be a little official. Among the scholars, the official position is regarded as an insult, and His Royal Highness is asked to be cautious. This should not be taken lightly. ”

What if it's said well? If you let those protégés of the Son of Heaven go to be mere officials, how can it be possible? There are some things that everyone knows are right, but they can never be changed, just because they harm the interests of too many people. At least Zhu Houhuang's article was disagreed with by the entire Hanlin Academy. If Zhu Houhuang's idea becomes a reality in Daming, where should the so-called talents of the Hanlin Academy find a way. So such a thing can only be said not to be done. Yongguo is an overseas land, Zhu Houhuang did it quietly, and no one paid attention. However, if it is shouted, it is not necessary to say that no one will give Zhu Houhuang a stick from Beijing.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Lone knows that now is not the time, but ask Mr. Tang to set up the system of Yongguo, and consider this point." ”

Tang Yin secretly said in his heart: "The so-called Yongguo is only two counties, and there are no 100,000 Dingkou in total, where can such a cumbersome system be used." It's just that Zhu Houhuang said it so elatedly. Can't interrupt.

Zhu Houhuang patted his head, suddenly thought of something, and said: "Yes, the Daming County Order should be the prime minister of a county's affairs, but it delays the time to hear the case, and how many officials in the Ming Dynasty are Bao Qingtian and Di Renjie?" Therefore, in our Yongguo system, we should separate case handling from administration. ”

Tang Yin said: "The minister understands, just copy the Song system." ”

Zhu Houhuang didn't understand, he was ashamed, he didn't understand how to deal with cases in the Song system, he said that this prototype was the idea of judicial independence, but it was just around the Song system. Zhu Houhuang didn't dare to lose face in Tang Yin, so he skipped it and didn't mention it, but he wrote it down and waited for a while, and then checked it when he had time.

"Then the treasury shall be separated from the king's private treasury. Be disconnected. ”

"It was supposed to be." Tang Yin nodded.

With the exception of the Manchu emperors, the Han emperors were never wealthy, and the treasury was always separate from the emperor's personal property. There was already a rule, and Tang Yin was not surprised at all.

"Then there's the issue of taxation. Emperor Taizu was wise and martial, but in the tax system, he made a mess. Zhu Houhuang sighed. But Tang Yin didn't dare to answer this question. However, Zhu Houhuang also said that the tax system is a major policy of a country, and it is not something that can be changed by saying that it can be changed. He only asks for one thing to pay taxes, and he will definitely collect them. Can't be like the arrears of taxes and grain in Jiangnan, I don't know how many millions of stones. It's not that I don't have it, it's just that I don't want to pay it.

"In the lonely Yongguo, the people do not have any labor, but the only service is military service. Imitation of the Han system, must let the lonely people get used to fighting, if not used, one use, can achieve 8 million Dingkou, support the level of 600,000 troops, this is the level of the Qin Dynasty.

Tang Yin was dumbfounded, "Smack." The brush fell to the ground, and Tang Yin said, "Please ask Your Highness to invite another Gao Ming." ”

Zhu Houhuang talked with Tang Yin for a whole afternoon. Tang Yin had a deep understanding of Zhu Houhuang. Zhu Houhuang is a person who has a lot of ideas, but is not stubborn. After this long talk, Tang Yin also officially became the prime minister of King Yong, the prime minister of 100 officials, and the courtesy of 100 officials. To put it mildly, in fact, there are not as many as a hundred officials from top to bottom in Yongguo.

After Tang Yin took over, he didn't even have a decent seal. The first thing is to return to Penghu. Penghu County was established.

Although Zhu Houhuang also said that Penghu County was established before, Zhu Houhuang was just talking about it before, and there was no ceremony or anything at all. In addition, the population of Penghu is not large, less than 10,000 people. It's not as big as a big village now. Wu Xingzhi can still manage it. But there is no rule at all.

As soon as Tang Yin came, he set up Wu Xingzhi as the county commander, and divided the county lieutenant and county cheng. According to Zhu Houhuang's meaning, the county magistrate was in charge of all affairs, and the main focus was on grain production and tax collection. The county lieutenant was responsible for training the officials, and was responsible for law and order, and the removal of thieves and so on. And conscription, retired soldiers are under the management of the county lieutenant. The county magistrate is in charge of adjudicating the case and dealing with the criminal name. Moreover, all the small officials in Penghu County are officials, not officials.

Anyway, Tang Yin implemented many of Zhu Houhuang's ideas, and as for how to build a superstructure above the state and county, it was beyond Tang Yin's ability.

Under Tang Yin's handling, the flow of tens of thousands of immigrants became orderly, and tens of thousands of people in Fuzhou Sanwei had to settle in Penghu, and more went to Dayuan and Taiwan. Even some poor families in Fujian have followed the immigrants. Although there are not many people, Yongguo, which represents Zhu Houhuang, is already a destination for Fujian people to go to sea.

Tang Yin also found many people from Jiangnan by writing letters. Although these people don't have any great talents, they can still be used to enrich the grassroots of Yongguo.

The official position of Yongguo has also been established in the big member, and the current Yongguo is just an empty shelf, but Tang Yin is still divided into the inner and outer courts, the outer court is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the inner court is the Shaofu, of course, now the Shaofu Order is Zhu Houhuang himself.

A hurried month passed. Under the auspices of Tang Yin, the development of the whole people's congress was very different, and these dozens of Zhuangzi were distributed along the coastline, with more than 1,000 people in each Zhuangzi and more than 100 people at the least. Tens of thousands of acres of land have been reclaimed. Although these tens of thousands of acres of fields are still raw fields, everyone is watching with their eyes open, waiting for the fields to be divided.

Since the beginning of this month, Zhu Houhuang has not done nothing. He gathered his three hundred musketeers again, and then selected the able-bodied from among the emigrants. The army of 1,000 men was replenished, but the rest of the men did not have flintlock muskets, and all of them used spears and broadswords. Used to assist the attack of the three hundred musketeers. Moreover, Zhu Houhuang also arranged the matter of drying salt and shipbuilding during this period of time.

Zhu Houhuang learned a lesson and no longer interfered in specific affairs, but instead made requests and let the people below do it. If you can't do it, then understand the cause and see if you can solve it with modern thinking. However, this is just the beginning, and there are no results yet, for example, the process of drying salt needs to be explored, such as how much time to dry, what color is good. Not to mention shipbuilding.

All wood used for shipbuilding needs to be dried in the shade. So Zhu Houhuang asked the craftsmen he brought from Qingjiangpu to make some wood samples and try the use of new ships, such as the gunboats proposed by Zhu Houhuang. How to get a wooden boat with hundreds of guns. And the rest are logging, logging, building ships for the future, stockpiling timber.

Tang Yin's face was a little older, but he looked in good spirits. It's not like an old man who is about to be sixty anymore.

Tang Yin said: "Please ask Your Highness to preside over the division of fields." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Mr. Tang, let's start, just watch alone." ”
