Hu Changan smiled slightly, and arched his hand and said, "Lord Feng, although your problem is good, there is still a solution. ”

When everyone heard this, they were immediately interested.

This Hu Changan's brain is inevitably turning too fast, they are still thinking about the problem, this kid directly came up with a way to break the game?

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Hu Changan cleared his throat and replied unhurriedly: "The government can sort these hundred households according to the amount of grain. ”

"The top 10 wealthy households can take turns to serve as lieutenants according to their ranking. The term of office of each household is one year, with one round every ten years. ”

"Ten years later, the government can re-rank these 100 households according to the amount of food in each household, and re-elect candidates for the mayor of the next ten years."

"This can not only ensure that the power is evenly distributed to each family, but also ensure that the elected families will always be rich, so as to avoid natural and man-made disasters that cause the original rich to return to poverty, and cannot serve as the governor."

"As for the choice of the first leader, it is also similar logic."

"The wealthy households ranked 11th to 20th can serve as the first leader, and each household is in charge of nine households. Among these nine households, there are also inappropriate lieutenants. ”

"Like the lieutenant chief, the term of office of the head of the first is also one year, and after the expiration, the family in the first division will be rotated, which is also a round of ten years."

When everyone heard this, their hearts couldn't help but light up.

That sounds like a very feasible solution!

The fair ranking according to the degree of affluence not only avoids disputes, but also does not give the squires room to exploit loopholes, which is simply wonderful!

However, this plan sounds like a good one, but everyone still doesn't understand it.

Why do you want to sort by wealth?

Isn't it okay to sort by other criteria?

The outspoken minister took the lead in asking: "Master Hu, I don't know why you chose the wealth of the people to rank?" ”

Hu Changan smiled mysteriously and said, "If the people under the rule of the chief can't pay the taxes, the chief will be responsible." Isn't it right to help pay some taxes or something? ”

When everyone heard this, they all gasped.

Good boy, this trick is simply too ruthless.

It is estimated that these rich people are still complacent when they become lieutenants, and it is impossible to think that they have been secretly poked and stabbed.

Looking at Hu Changan's smile again, no matter how you look at it, it reveals a treacherous taste.

Even Zhu Biao, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but sigh secretly.

This Hu Changan didn't know what kind of medicine he had taken either, and he was a bit too smart.

These various strategies are linked one by one, and it is simply difficult to find faults.

Just when everyone sighed, a few smart ministers discovered that Hu Chang'an had something to say: "Wait, according to Hu Gongzi's meaning, can the A system here still be combined with tax collection?" ”

"Naturally, not only that, but the A system here can also be combined with forced labor!" Hu Changan smiled faintly.

I didn't expect these ministers to react quite quickly, and they deserve to be able to participate in the deliberations of the Prince's Palace, but it's different.

After everyone heard this, huge question marks appeared on their minds.

How can the A system here still be on the same page as a conscription? It's amazing, isn't it?

The conscription system was also a fundamental law in ancient times, and the emergence of the conscription system can even be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

In all dynasties, the people had to bear the burden of light and heavy conscription.

After all, in ancient times, it was necessary to build a city wall or a dam from time to time, which required people to work hard.

The government and the army do not have so many manpower, so it is natural to draw ordinary people to help.

At present, the Ming Dynasty has just been established, and the policy of light and light conscription is still implemented, and there are very few places where peasants need to be requisitioned to build roads and bridges.

But in any case, there will always be a time when the empire will draw up the people's strength, and what kind of form will be used to make the people serve in the conscription at that time is also a question worth exploring.

As important ministers of the court, they also participated in several discussions about conscription.

However, after discussion and discussion, everyone was never able to come up with a plan that satisfied Zhu Yuanzhang, and this topic was temporarily shelved.

Now that Hu Changan suddenly mentioned conscription again, everyone was naturally very curious, staring at Hu Changan with burning eyes, eager to know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Hu Changan didn't make a fool of himself, and after making a salute, he said generously: "According to the current method, a lieutenant chief should be in charge of ten first-class leaders, and a first-class chief should be in charge of nine households, and the conscription is naturally to have equal opportunities for everyone." ”

"We can arrange these top ten families in order, and designate a first-class family every year, led by the first leader, to serve in the government."

"In this way, after ten years, every family can take a turn to serve in the conscription, which can be said to be very fair."

"As for the land of the service family, the government can ask the family that has not been allocated to the conscription to plant it on behalf of the family."

"In this way, the families of the conscripts can harvest the grain with peace of mind and not go bankrupt."

After listening to Hu Changan's words, everyone couldn't help but nod their heads.

This Hu Changan is indeed quite thoughtful.

In this way, it can indeed be regarded as rain and dew, everyone has the share of conscription, and no one can escape.

If the government comes to designate a family to serve as a servant, there must be a cat in it.

Serving in conscription is hard, and everyone can naturally escape.

Some relatively wealthy families will inevitably have some careful thoughts and secretly bribe the official servants.

And when these servants received money, they naturally turned a blind eye and made up strange reasons on the paperwork, so that these rich people escaped from servitude.

In this way, the conscription naturally falls on the heads of the poor.

As the so-called hemp rope is broken in detail, and bad luck is only looking for miserable people, these poor people not only have no money at home, but also have to bear heavy labor, so naturally the family is getting poorer and poorer.

You must know that this burden of forced labor, the strong labor force in the family will be gone for a year, and the farm work in the family can only be fully contracted by women, children and children, and the efficiency will definitely not catch up with other normal families in any way.

It is not uncommon for the poor to naturally get poorer and poorer, and eventually go bankrupt and become beggars.

Although the imperial court can manage these things, but the Ming Dynasty is too big, and if you want to manage them all, you are really willing and powerless.

And Hu Chang'an's doing this directly extinguished the space for favoritism and fraud by local errands and wealthy households from the source.

As long as you are incorporated into the Lijia system, you will be put into a forced service within ten years, and no matter what means you use, you will not be able to escape.

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked by Hu Changan's wisdom again.

I don't know what this kid ate to grow up, it's just full of heart!
