Qianqing Palace.

The great resignation of the court officials finally attracted the attention of the Queen Mother......

The main reason is that her father feels that in the long run, the country will not be a country.

Although her father was indeed not a high official before, he was only a commander, but now of course he can't be just a commander, he has already been an earl, and then set up a separate robbery camp in the capital, and he will supervise the theft camp, in fact, he is the police chief, and the capital Fangxiang, including the Peripheral Inspection Division, are all under his management of the thief hunting camp.

Select 10,000 soldiers from the military households in the capital to count his subordinates.

The Five Cities Terracotta Division was under his direct jurisdiction.

Of course, the Imperial History of the City Patrol still exists, but only the power of impeachment remains.

It's a must.

After all, in the case of the Queen Mother, only her mother's family can give her a sense of security.

She and the little princess are just allies.

And in this alliance, she is actually very weak, after all, she really has nothing, if she gives birth to a son, she does have righteousness, but she gave birth to a daughter!

It was completely relied on the little princess and Yang Feng to suppress the vassal kings before they were able to succeed to the throne as the empress, but the empress naturally had no righteousness, it can only be said that the vassal kings really can't beat Yang Feng, and they are also the descendants of the first emperor, so let's just do it. Once she loses the support of Yang Feng and the little princess, the empress will be deposed at any time, in this case she is extremely vulnerable, and the only thing that can make her feel a little secure is to hand over the security of the capital to her father. Although she also knows that this is actually useless, after all, more than half of the population of the capital is military households, and it is not a robbery hunting camp that can be managed, and military households have to be handed over to the guard center for crimes. And there are still a large number of people in the remaining civil registers who dare not take care of it, that is, they have diplomatic immunity, and according to custom, people who work in the Wutaishan Industrial Park must obtain the consent of the embassy of the Great Xia State before they can be arrested and punished.

This convention......

Of course, there are no such rules in the imperial court, but the government consciously abides by them.

After all, this convention was formed after Ambassador Yang's righteous female army attacked Ying Tianfu.

This is called extraterritoriality.

Although it was not recognized by the imperial court, in fact it was a common practice that the workers of the Wutaishan Industrial Park, including their families, committed crimes, and first had to go to the little princess to hand over various case materials, and the latter felt that they could be arrested before they could take the little princess's signature and be taken by the little princess's guards.

In fact, it's the same as Jinyiwei arresting people.

Jin Yiwei's arrest is also like a small clerk looking for the boss to sign, holding a large number of case materials to the criminal department to give the matter.

The latter can only be caught by signing a driver's post.

This system continued throughout the Ming Dynasty, until the time of Chongzhen, even when he was nine thousand years old, Jinyi Wei must have a criminal driver's license to arrest people, but when Chongzhen changed it to be able to catch it first, but when he returned to the capital, he must also make up for a driver's license. However, Ying Tianfu and Wucheng Terracotta Division were not as good as Jinyiwei when dealing with the workers in Wutaishan Industrial Park, at least Jinyiwei could be taken to the edict and beaten casually as long as they were arrested, but even if they were arrested, they could not be tortured to extract confessions.

The evidence must be conclusive and the trial must be clear before a conviction can be made.

On the contrary, it forced Ying Tianfu to really start the process of establishing a civilized trial.

"It's called shock therapy!"

Facing the Queen Mother's concerned gaze, Ambassador Yang said with some pride.

"Shock therapy?"

The Queen Mother was at a loss.

"Shock is fainting."

The little princess explained.

And then she was there playing with the Empress.

However, at this time, the empress was still like a kitten that had not yet grown hair, lying in the cradle and looking at her Jiangshan Sheji blankly......

My country!

"Our Daming has just experienced a civil strife, just like a person is experiencing a serious illness, the best way at this time is to let him lie still or even sleep all the time or even coma, and then we will give him all kinds of treatment on the side until he recovers his health. The officials have all run away, and the government is paralyzed, which is not a big deal, because we are just going to establish a new and more effective imperial court, and it is more convenient for us to bring in new people when they run. Although some things may be delayed in this process, no matter whether it is the ministry or the locality, there are originally a large number of officials and officials in charge of affairs, as long as they know that they can be promoted if they do a good job, they will naturally be able to do what they should do well.

Don't be afraid that no one will be an official.

The most important thing in the world is to be an official.

Five dynasties and ten kingdoms of the Southern Han Dynasty, and even ordered those scholars to be officials before purifying themselves, scholars can still be said to be rushing, when Emperor Taizu Gao, six or seven out of ten officials will not die well.

The result?

Grab your head!

Isn't it because Confucian students in the north and south grabbed the opportunity to be officials, and as a result, they grabbed it? ”

Yang Feng said.

He's just deliberately driving people away.

Even if you leave these first, you won't cooperate with him, and it is even likely that the guy who is disobedient and even sabotaging it will be forced away, and then replaced by a new person, the only problem is that his new people are currently limited, so they can only be pushed away gradually.

So in this process, it is inevitable that there will be some power vacancies.

The whole country was paralyzed.

In this case, it can indeed be regarded as shock therapy.

"But if it goes on like this, it's easy to say in the short term, if it's been a long time, and no one is in charge everywhere, what if it causes chaos? After all, there is still Zhu Yi in the south, and now the local people are panicking, and there are many people who go south, and those Confucian scholars are already shouting what to do to go south. ”

Guozhang said with a smiling face.

He was actually worried, after all, Yang Feng's obscenity was there, but now it was his granddaughter who was the emperor after all.

He's still going to be responsible.

"Dressed in the south, then let them go, if they can't stand the Ming Dynasty in the future, they can go south all the time, not afraid that they will go south all the way to Longya Gate." As for the locality, first, we have a local guard, as long as the guard is still in the place, the place will not be chaotic, and second, show talent to make chaos, isn't that a joke, if they really have the ability to make trouble, they will not fall into the south. Third, the local people don't care about the court, what they want is very simple, that is, they have enough food and clothing, so the queen mother should exempt the national autumn tax this year on the grounds that the empress ascended the throne, and this will is enough to make all the people return to their hearts. ”

Yang Feng said with a smile.

Of course, the main thing is that now he can't really restore effective rule over the localities.

Although his goal is to force these people to leave voluntarily and then rebuild a new system, in the process, the imperial court's control over the local area will also be weakened to a minimum. In the reality of this era, the entire reconstruction process will not be less than half a year, after all, even if he appoints a new magistrate, it will take half a year to travel from the capital to many places.

During this period, the local officials will become bigger.

If the tax system continues to be maintained, it will inevitably cause officials to take advantage of the opportunity to exploit the people.

After all, no one cares about them.

Do you expect them to be as clean as water?

It's impossible.

This process is what really has the potential to provoke accidents, especially the gentry in various places, who are also likely to deliberately exacerbate the contradictions and then create local chaos.

So I simply didn't accept it.

Anyway, Shanxi is his tax, Xuanda and other places are supplied by him, and he has already promised to contract military supplies in Daning and other places, and it is a big deal to contract Liaodong, Yansui, Ningxia and Gansu, so that the entire north is basically contracted by him. How to supply the military supplies in these places does not need to be the responsibility of the imperial court, in fact, the guards in these places are already being abolished, and the transportation of military rations in Huining, Liaodong, is very convenient by sea. Han Hai and Yan Ran were there in total, and his Mongolian slaves were enough to transport supplies in camel teams, not to mention that merchants had begun to pour into the grasslands, and they were all transporting military supplies in exchange for trade rights. Datong Yansui since the wooden track was repaired to Datong after the transportation problem has been solved, and this wooden track is still extending to Shuofang, it is estimated that it will be repaired to Shuofang in the spring of next year.

In this way, it is connected to the Yellow River.

Downstream Yansui, upstream Ningxia's water transportation is unimpeded.

That is, Gansu is indeed too far away, but fortunately it can be solved with oil, he has now begun to promote kerosene, although it can't solve the smell, that needs sulfuric acid and other temporary can not be produced in large quantities, but as a military procurement, it can, and asphalt is also necessary for the shipbuilding industry, so like salt, let the merchants transport grain to Gansu, and then exchange for oil, you can ensure the transportation of materials in Gansu.

As long as the price is high enough, there will always be merchants who will do it for profit.

It's not that Gansu can't open up wasteland.

What's more, there is also a caravan in the Western Regions, which directly orders merchants to trade with the Western Regions, and they must carry one-tenth of the grain.

Check along the way.

Those who do not bring it are forbidden to leave the country.

In this way, the military needs of Gansu are also solved.

In fact, the key is that the Northern Guards are being abolished, such as the Daning Dusi Division, at most half of which will be left, and the pressure on military needs itself has been greatly reduced.

Not even anything else is enough.

Because of the opening system of the salt industry, the merchants could still only transport grain to the border towns, or open merchants, and in the past, they had to be transported by the imperial court, just because the number of troops in the border towns was too large, which exceeded the amount of salt introduction, but now the population will inevitably decrease after the dismantling of the guards.

Demand will also fall.

And even if those military households still stay in the border towns for the people, they are still homesteaders.

They are self-sufficient.

The only problem......

"How should the generals and officials at all levels be resolved?"

The Queen Mother said.

The tax of the Ming Dynasty was collected by the local government, and then part of the Beijing was relieved and part of it was retained, that is, the salaries were paid to officials, which was different from the Qing Dynasty receiving all the taxes in the capital and then issuing wages to the government.

"The money is directly issued by the imperial court, and it will not be retained by the local government in the future, and the tax must go to Beijing, and then it will be issued by the imperial court, and there is no need for the imperial court to manage it, and they will be directly asked to go to the nearest bank to pay the money. In the future, they will not be given rice, they will all be discounted, and all officials will be paid the same according to their grades, but according to different local conditions, different subsidies will be added. The amount of subsidies is based on the average grain price of the previous year, and the average grain price of the previous year is counted by the bank. ”

Yang Feng said.

Of course, this means that the banks will continue to sink down to at least the county level.

Truly achieve nationwide coverage.

This is the key, which means that the control at the county level is deep, the bank is not only a bank, this is an intelligence agency, but also an armed force, the bank has an armed escort team, otherwise in those places where the emperor is far away, how to ensure the safety of a large amount of money transportation? There were not only armed escorts, but also armed escorts armed with flintlock pistols.

Moreover, it is also an efficient information network, and even some interbanks have begun to experiment with signal towers.

That is, the kind of the eighteenth century.

The sinking of this thing represents the full control of the grassroots of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, because the tax is gone this autumn and the household department has no money to pay, it has to take out a loan from the bank, and it doesn't matter if it is mortgaged.

Let's tax next year!

But in this case, next year's tax will have to refer to the meaning of the creditor, after all, you will not be able to collect enough to be embarrassed together, so it is necessary for the bank to guide the tax reform. In addition, this method of converting all the money can also force local officials to consciously maintain the value of the treasure banknote, after all, the depreciation of the treasure money is equivalent to the decline of their income. When officials at all levels of the country and generals at all levels of the army can only collect treasure money, they are actually tied to treasure money, whether it is counterfeit money, private use of gold and silver coins, smuggling and sabotage forced foreign exchange, these are all enemies of the entire civil and military official system.

They must do their best to preserve the money.

"Well, the empress's accession to the throne is indeed a celebration for the whole country, and it should be exempted from autumn taxes."

The Queen Mother said.

"In addition, there is Enke, since Enke is open in Guangzhou, and we are also open here, and the Ministry of Rites has never been able to complete the procrastination, so let's just do a small-scale first, just Ying Tianfu, and then open outside Ying Tianfu next year."

Yang Feng said.

In this way, he can give his subordinates the status of Jinshi.

At present, the layout of new education has been completed, mainly in the capital, and a small number of new schools have been opened in Yingtianfu, which adds up to more than 2 million people, which is enough.

"I'll ask my aunt to preside over this matter."

The Queen Mother said.

Yang Feng hurriedly casually said that the queen mother was wise, and then retired with the little princess.

"Do you have to teach this guy a lesson?"

The little princess said sinisterly.

"Yes, indeed."

Yang Feng touched his chin and said.

In this situation, there will definitely be a force behind the abbot, after all, his granddaughter is the empress, and those who tend to be inflammatory, and then they touted that the abbot is easy to lose himself, and in order for him to live a healthy life to the end of his life, he does have to pull him from time to time.

"He should have appointed some cronies in the Five Cities Terracotta Division, right?"

Yang Feng said.

The little princess nodded.

"These cronies are corrupt, right?"

Yang Feng said.

"That's natural, the soldiers and horses of the five cities are in charge of the security of the whole city, and now the capital is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are more and more business travelers from all over the city, not to mention anything else, just they can take the opportunity to make a fortune by taking care of the goods in the shops along the street."

The little princess said.

"Okay, let people catch a bribe, and then make a fuss, make a boycott petition, go to the Dengwen drum, if it doesn't work, start a fight, and kill one directly, you have to let him understand whose territory the capital is, and let those who tend to be inflammatory, understand that he has no ability to protect them at all."

Yang Feng said.

As for the Queen Mother's feelings......

Her feeling is to honestly nurse her child.

Your Majesty is silent, and there are ministers.
