Liaodong should not be a desolate appearance, but a scene of cultivated land, roads extending in all directions, and many people living and working in peace and contentment.

The people are looking forward to a small day, and the emperor also has expectations and imaginations.

Not only Liaodong, what he wants to change is the entire Ming Dynasty. The success or failure of Liaodong's reconstruction is directly related to his entire grand plan.

If you don't sweep a room, how can you sweep the world? If one place is not governed, how can the country be governed?

Mekong could have been an option, but the emperor did not make major changes, but gradually pushed forward with reforms.

Because Mekong Province was established relatively early, and Liaodong was not peaceful, the emperor still had to be safe.

Now it is different, the two major wars in the country have been extinguished, and the most important one; Shuixi's extravagant traitors are already very scum, relying on their geographical advantages to stubbornly resist and persist, and they have been blocked to the end of the road, and they can be destroyed in the near future.

In other words, the conditions for drastic reform in Liaodong have already been met, and the resistance is also the least.

Moreover, although Liaodong had just been pacified, the governance of Liaodong had already begun. Yuan Keli, the governor of Dengzhou, controlled the Dongjiang River and also sent officials like Wang Yining to manage government affairs in the Guangfu District.

From the very beginning of Tieshan, Yizhou and coastal islands, to Lushun Jinzhou, Liaonan, Zhenjiang and other places.

With the continuous advance of the Ming army, Jiannu was not afraid of shrinking, the number of political officials in Liaodong increased, and the work ability was also improved, which was just right for the new governor Wu Yongxian.

The most important thing is the population and land situation, and the areas that were recovered relatively early have basically been counted. Because this involves the amount of relief grain distributed by the imperial court, Yuan Keli personally supervised it, and the data is relatively accurate.

When it came to the pacification of the whole Liao, the liberated Liao people, the Jurchens and the Mongols who surrendered to Chengcheng, these need to be recounted.

There are also houses and land in the newly recovered areas, and there should also be approximate figures, so as to prepare for the distribution and rationing of the Liao people returning to their hometowns.

Therefore, since the pacification of Liao, Yuan Keli, who is in charge of Liaodong, has been very busy.

Although it is already a sure thing to return to Beijing and enter the cabinet, Mr. Yuan's seriousness must not do a good job of the work that can be seen and thought of.

Wang Yining, as an old official working in Liaodong and a native of Liaodong, is familiar with the situation, so he naturally has Yuan Keli's reliance.

The emperor also knew that Wang Yining, Mao Wenlong's victory in Zhenjiang, and he was the one who participated and masterminded. Among the scholars, it can be said that he is quite bold.

Therefore, Yuan Keli returned to Beijing to be promoted, and Wang Yining and a number of Liaodong officials stayed to listen to it. The emperor even gave Wang Yining the official position of Liaodong Zuobu political envoy, and was promoted from the sixth rank to the second rank.

It was late at night, and Yuan Keli was still reviewing the documents at the yamen. Since Dengzhou came to Liaodong to sit in the town, his family members did not bring him, and there were many official duties, so he simply lived in Yamen, and he did not miss office and rest.

Wang Yining is the same, he has been running around Liaodong for several years, and it has been really hard, but he has not yet started a family, so as not to worry about the fetters.

After a busy day, Wang Yining returned to the governor's yamen in Liaoyang City, and learned that Yuan Keli had not rested, so he rushed to report to work.

At the same time, he was also a little puzzled by the policies of the imperial court, and wanted to get some explanations and guidance from his husband and ancestor.

Judging from the official system of the Ming Dynasty, the local governor was the largest, and the political envoy was slightly lower.

However, from the point of view of actual power, the governor's authority is large and wide, while the authority of the political envoy is relatively precise and specific, and both sides have their own strengths and check each other.

The emperor's new governor of Liaodong removed one of the three main tasks of following the locality, inspecting subordinate officials, and supervising military affairs, that is, supervising military affairs.

In other words, the governor's power is less than before, and he can no longer interfere in the affairs of the army.

Although it is said that the emperor did not like to suppress military force with literature and control military force with literature, there was no change on the surface. Dongjiang Town seems to be lonely overseas, but it is still under the control of Yuan Keli, the governor of Dengzhou.

Now, all of a sudden removal of the governor's admiral military affairs is tantamount to completely breaking the traditions and conventions of the Ming Dynasty.

There are no civil officials to suppress the military, and there are no eunuchs to supervise the army, I am afraid that many people will worry that the military will be difficult to control. If this development continues, there may be some arrogance that will endanger the community.

Wang Yining was also worried about this, although Pingliao won a great victory and the martial arts were highly meritorious, there was no means to control the subjugation, which was very inappropriate.

Moreover, the improvement of the status of the warriors will also have a lot of inconvenience for the governance of Liaodong.

After entering the door to meet Yuan Keli, Wang Yining first reported his work. It is mainly the situation of land, population and housing, including Liaoyang, Haicheng and other places.

Yuan Keli listened carefully, and was very pleased, and said with a smile: "It's cold, you're busy outside, it's really hard." ”

"It's all job, and the officials don't dare to say it." Wang Yining bowed down and said: "It is only two or three months before spring ploughing, and the population and land must be registered. Other colleagues also worked hard, not alone. ”

Yuan Keli nodded and said, "The reconstruction of Liaodong must indeed be carried out as soon as possible. Spring ploughing is the top priority, not only the people, but also the army must cultivate the land to reduce the burden on the court. ”

"Is the army tuntian?" Wang Yining didn't know much and asked.

"It's different from the previous military camp." Yuan Keli pondered for a moment and said: "The land reclaimed and cultivated by the army is to be handed over to the local government and then distributed to the returning Liao people. ”

Control the food of the army? Wang Yining thinks it's a solution, but it's not enough. Moreover, if the army does not belong to itself, is the army willing to work hard?

Yuan Keli didn't know what Wang Yining was thinking, and said: "The shops in the big towns should be counted clearly, and the major chambers of commerce must contribute to the reconstruction of Liaodong, and allocating shops is one of the ways to attract them. ”

Before the recovery of Liaodong, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce had taken the lead, rolled out some outlets, and occupied part of the market.

Now, with the pacification of Liaodong, the imperial court has opened its doors to major chambers of commerce, and one of the preferential policies is to issue shops and rent free for three years.

Don't think that after the war in Liaodong, the common people are very poor, and it is unprofitable to do business.

The Chinese Chamber of Commerce is a successful example, just doing the business of the big soldiers, has made a lot of money, and there is also exclusive border trade, which is even more abundant.

Moreover, there are many specialties in Liaodong. Ginseng, mushrooms, animal skins, pine nuts and other commercial goods are very popular.

Therefore, the major chambers of commerce are quite active in this, and they have submitted applications to the imperial court, and the most sought-after stores are naturally Shenyang, Liaoyang, Haicheng, Lushun and other big cities or transportation places.

Of course, the imperial court issued policies to attract investment, but there were also conditions.

Because, the loans issued to the people of Liao are not silver coins, but vouchers. Merchants who receive free stores must accept the purchase of a voucher with a dated date and can only redeem the equivalent of silver coins at the bank after three months.

In this way, it is clear that the court wants to borrow money from merchants, and it will be used for three months in vain, and it is circulating.

What the merchant loses is interest, or other income from the operation of these funds. But the three-year rent was saved, and the commercial tentacles also extended into Liaodong. In the long run, the gains outweigh the losses.

First there were Pingliao bonds, and then there were vouchers, and the emperor was preparing with all his might, all of which were paving the way for the issuance of paper money in the future.
