The new commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty began to be collected.

Obviously, this is a thorough demonstration of this social responsibility.

The originally rare opposition voice, under the intimate care of Dongchang, made those unscrupulous profiteers who dared to shout for the emperor's move to compete with the people obediently shut up.

The emperor's labor force is not labor force?

Zhu Youzhen has done a lot, but he still doesn't feel enough.

Time turned quickly, and in January of the year of Daming Chongzhen, it finally arrived under everyone's expectations.

In the new year, almost all the people of Daming have felt a different taste.

The establishment of the "Daming Monthly" allowed the people to have access to various measures from the imperial court for the first time.

Some states and counties where transportation is inconvenient and the people are not highly educated.

Daming Newspaper also intimately prepared special commentators to continue to preach new good policies from the imperial court in the local area.

The opening of the First Independent Brigade and the Second Independent Brigade of the Tianhu Army made Zhu Youzhen feel for the first time how big the gap between the soldiers in his hands and the soldiers in name was.

Those rebellious people and bandits in Henan and Shaanxi who originally wanted to take advantage of the catastrophe to make trouble.

Let the Heavenly Tiger Army kill batch after batch, the bloody picture brought by the power of the musket.

For the first time, the local people, who had been in turmoil, felt what the law was.

Ruffian hooligans?

It's good to obediently reform and go to the local yamen to accept the guilt, if the Tianhu Army still dares to oppress the people, the cost of a bullet Zhu Youzhen still doesn't care.

The recruitment plan of 50,000 tax officers of the Daming Royal Tax Bureau is all over the country, and the tax bureaus of local branches are directly opened to the state and county level.

The importance of commercial taxes makes Zhu Youzhen particularly willing to spend money in this regard, after all, no matter how much he spends, he will continue to return.

It's just that there are still differences in the region, such as some places where commerce is not prosperous, the scale of the tax bureau will be smaller, and for Jiangnan and coastal areas.

Behind the commercial prosperity is the continuous expansion of the scale of the tax bureau, not to mention the prosperity of the state and county, and even the small village below may be prosperous because of tea cultivation or overseas trade.

For this reason, the footsteps of the tax cheng began to measure every inch of land in Daming step by step.

The new-style imperial examination also completely revealed the absolute superiority of the rules, and the emperor's attention was a very terrifying thing under the feudal social system.

The officials of the Ministry of Officials had wind on the soles of their feet, and they took advantage of the spring breeze of reform to continuously sow the seeds of the new-style imperial examination in various places.

At the same time, the changes in the Ministry of Officials are not only reflected in the new imperial examination leading department, but also in the new official assessment system, which makes all officials in the Ming Dynasty boil.

The new appraisal system has opened a new ladder for local officials from the court to the government.

The virtuous do not avoid relatives, and the promotion does not look at the background.

If the two-year assessment is excellent, it will be promoted by half a grade, and if the three-year assessment is excellent, it will be promoted by half a level.

The so-called official to a product, under the new Ming official assessment and promotion mechanism, can be touched as soon as 20 years as an official.

The newly established universities, although under the background of the new imperial examination, were considered by all the people of the Ming Dynasty to be the cradle of the training of new Ming officials.

But Zhu Youzhen didn't explain too much, but was quite happy to see that Daming was not afraid of many officials, but he was afraid of too many officials in the corpse position.

Occupy a position and don't do anything, eat for nothing?

I'm afraid that under the influence of Zhu Youzhen, it may be a little difficult to live such a good life.

Who will take the place of this group? Those who are destined to be eliminated are destined to be eliminated by more outstanding talents.

In Zhu Youzhen's view, as long as he can find a way to reach the first batch of talents who have passed the new imperial examination and graduated from graduate schools, they will go through a year of grassroots training.

When they officially appear in the Ming Dynasty's official group, then the thorough reform and the thorough revolution he wants will come.

At that time, no problems will be his constraints.

...

Henan.

"Auntie.. How much money did we make last year, how much grain was harvested in the field, and how much land rent should be paid to people..."

In a small village shrouded in smoke, a young man in the work uniform of the Ming Royal Bureau of Statistics is tirelessly asking questions to an elderly woman with eye disease.

The old woman smiled at the corner of her eye, and she didn't return to the point.

"Oh, you young student, why do you just ask something I don't understand, I only know that last year the village chief said that there was no need to pay land tax, and all the grain in the field was left for us."

"How much food did you get?"

"Oh, why did you say that Your Majesty didn't collect agricultural taxes this year, don't you juniors have to eat, the court doesn't collect taxes, and you also pay the land rent for us farmers."

The staff in charge of statistics did not show impatience, but kept asking patiently.

"This does not collect agricultural taxes, it is that His Majesty understands the people of Henan today, and thinks that the people of Henan have suffered disasters and suffered this year, so they will keep all the food and let our people have a full stomach."

"No wonder... No wonder, Mingjun! No wonder the grain sent up, within a few days, the county sent people to drive the carriage back all of them, a lot of them! ”

"Then auntie, do you know how much money we made last year?"

"What? You haven't eaten yet? Wait, Lady will give you a pancake.."

...

Policies were launched one by one, and Zhu Youzhen was in the Beijing Division, but his eyes were not just on the Beijing Division, and the young Zhu Youzhen was eager to know everything he had done.

In the end, has it brought about a change in people's lives?

As a result, the Daming Royal Bureau of Statistics, which did not greet, give notice, or visit officials, absorbed a large number of local down-and-out scholars and young people, just like the Daming Royal Tax Bureau.

At the same time, those who have achieved results in the first round of the new imperial examination, but have not passed the second round of the examination, will be gathered.

All of them are absorbed into the statistical work, and talents cannot be left behind, even if they do not pass the exam, it is the same, and if they fail to pass the exam this year, there will be next year.

But it is impossible for these people to be released, after all, in Zhu Youzhen's opinion.

As long as you can pass the first round, you are actually a rare talent in Daming.

It's just that because the major colleges that are still in the embryonic stage are not large in scale and still need time, there are not many students who can be enrolled.

Therefore, under such a selective examination, many people are destined to fail.

Candidates who fail to make the list do not mean that they are not excellent, after all, the illiteracy rate is extremely terrifying, and it is not easy for Daming to be able to read and write.

Coupled with the high welfare benefits of the Bureau of Statistics and the Tax Bureau, it has opened a whole new door for these talents.

After working for a year, the assessment is excellent, and the position is from the ninth grade, and the official position is not large.

After two years of work, the assessment is excellent, and the fixed position can reach the nine grades, although later generations ridiculed the nine sesame officials, but the nine grades of the official are among the people, and it is quite difficult in the eyes of readers.

What about a young scholar who has just been working for two years?
