By the edge of the liquid pool, the cool breeze is blowing, and the unmelted frost flowers are embellished on the fallen leaves, like the flowers blown down by the spring breeze.

"Passing the decree, with Mr. Ten years of merit and there is now a great victory in Burma and the virtue of the Haojing leveling, posthumously awarded him as a loyal country, and the internal money allocated silver to build a four-character archway of 'house and virtue'."

At this time, Zhu Yijun thought that Zhang Juzheng's ten years of work had not been in vain, and that he could finally succeed with a single thought, so that hundreds of officials in the world were like arms in his hands, so he threw the bait into the pool by the Taiye Pool.

In the pool of Taiye Pond, there are koi fish that he and Zhang Juzheng swam here and released here when they were young.

Now.

The koi is already fat, and the young emperor is also a father, with deep eyes and long beards, but there is no side to reward people when he is rewarded.

However, Zhu Yijun didn't have to insist and insisted on rewarding, so that the rewarded person would no longer shirk, only throw away his leisure feelings, and asked Zhang Hong: "How is the construction of the border towns progressing?" ”

"According to the new inscription of the Ministry of Industry, Jizhou, Liaodong, Datong, Xuanfu, Changping Prefecture, Juyong Pass, and Bauhinia Pass have been built, and Uncle Guo has gone to Taiyuan, Shanxi."

"In addition, the cabinet vote plans to let the craftsmen recommended by Uncle Guo to work with him also lead the work alone, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry will take them to other places to build Guantai, especially with the officials in charge of building new post roads, and wherever the new post roads are paved, Guantai will be built."

"Now the Cabinet Branch is responsible for the annual investment funds for the return of the people to the people, due to several years of reform and investment in textiles, trade with the Japanese, etc., has reached more than 5 million taels, but the domestic projects that can benefit the people are still few, only concentrated in weaving, porcelain and paper;

"In addition, the large projects that are easier to benefit the people are not highly profitable, so not many businessmen apply to the imperial court, so the cabinet thinks that it is better for the imperial court to take the lead and use this money to build post roads and customs platforms."

Zhang Hong replied.

"The big project with slow results has to be led by the imperial court as a sole proprietorship, so let's approve this ticket."

"In addition, in order to excessively interfere with the technical aspects of the project, the cabinet was instructed that the craftsmen who led the work were appointed as the chief officers of the temple construction department, and the completion of the project was required to be countersigned by the chief officer."

Zhu Yijun commanded.

Zhang Hong said yes.

……

"Yuanfu, Your Majesty blindly even confers officials on craftsmen, so isn't there a danger of abusing famous weapons? It is inevitable that in the future, there will be people in the market who will confuse the king only because they are good at creating wonders. ”

When Zhu Yijun's edict was conveyed to the Imperial Division, Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the ministry, inevitably talked about his worries to Shen Shixing.

Shen Shixing glanced at the posthumous gift to Zhang Juzheng prepared by Sun Jigao, the official of the decree, and said with a smile:

】

"As long as the craftsmen are strictly selected in terms of morality, there will be no people who are fortunate enough to be good at creating wonders."

"Besides, since Your Majesty believes in us, we must also believe in Your Majesty, and in the absence of such a clue, we need not first assume that Your Majesty is a faint king, but think that Your Majesty will really indulge in the construction of wonders; Do as you are told! ”

"It's still the same sentence, don't think about being a gentleman's father, but a monarch's father."

"That's what Motosuke said."

Zhang Xueyan nodded, and he didn't fight for anything.

……

Shanxi Taiyuan Mansion.

The heavy bricks were sent to the unfinished platform by pulleys, and were laid on the wall by craftsmen along a straightened horizontal line.

On the right side of this platform, another platform was built at the same time to confuse the enemy, and the foundation was still being dug.

Uncle Li Wenquan carefully measured the ground with the level method, and at the same time asked people to trim the foundation, and at the same time asked Shuai Jiamo, the chief of arithmetic of the Royal Research Institute, who was sent to do things: "Shuai Chief, are you sure you only need to dig so deep?" ”

"Uncle back to China, I'll forget it, I'm sure I only need to dig so deep to build the same high Guantai! This can greatly save the time of building a gate. ”

Shuai Jiamo replied.

Li Wenquan said: "I believe you!" But if it collapses, I'll have to impeach you! ”

Shuai Jiamo said: "The subordinates dare not harm the affairs of the court, and if they dare to say this, they must have been carefully calculated and deduced by a model." Uncle Guo, do you want me to do the math for you again? “

"No, as soon as you do the math, I will have a headache!"

Li Wenquan hurriedly waved his hand.

Shuai Jiamo smiled.

After Li Wenquan finished proofreading the foundation, he looked at the migrant workers in front of him who were ramming earth to build a post road, and suddenly said:

"The imperial court turned all the silver dollars collected into roads, but it is better than putting them directly in the warehouse."

"It's better than not collecting it and burying the squires in the cellar!"

Shuai Jiamo said with a smile, and said: "Uncle Guo, I have counted that just the construction of Guantai and the construction of post roads here have reduced the number of beggars outside Taiyuan Mansion by seventy percent. ”

The beggars of the Ming Dynasty have indeed been greatly reduced due to the construction of large-scale projects, and they have become migrant workers.

But the status of these migrant workers has not been removed.

And in the political hall.

On this day, Shen Shixing put aside his pen and put forward the idea of restructuring the displaced people into good households in the Ming Dynasty, and therefore proposed the system of abolishing roads.

"The servant thought about it, since the medical registration system needs to be changed, it is better to change the road guidance system by the way, otherwise it will be difficult for those who practice medicine in the future to practice medicine, and it is not legal to move people and encourage people to move abroad in the future."

"And I am afraid that some local officials will take advantage of the ban to blackmail people who intend to go out, and even take advantage of their absences to seize their family property."

Shen Shixing also said this to the ruling ministers.

Hai Rui, the head of the household department, said at this time: "Although Lu Yin exists in name only, it is indeed appropriate to abolish and change the edict, so as not to give unjudicial officials the opportunity to even collude with their clans and make it difficult for the villagers to go out to work." ”

"That's right!"

Shen Shixing nodded.

Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the ministry, also nodded at this time and said, "Very much!" Nowadays, in terms of the examination results of the officials, they are still taking the test for the arrest of the homeless by local officials, but I am afraid that there are really officials who will arrest the homeless people as thieves in order to do a good job! If the road guidance system is abolished, the rules for the examination of the officials should also be revised. ”

"Have you ever thought about it, what if the road guide is directly abolished and there are too many escapees?"

At this time, Pan Cheng asked.

Shen Shixing said with a smile: "I thought about it!" ”

"But if you don't waste the road and ban it, the state and county guards are also on the run!"

Then, Shen Shixing replied.

Zhang Xueyan followed: "Yes, the flight of military households, the escape of tenant farmers of the prince's powerful family, even if these road guides are not abandoned, they are still constantly fleeing. ”

Shen Shixing said with a smile at this time: "So, it's better to be blocked!" ”

"If the imperial court wants to benefit the people, it must practice the will of the Taishi, treat the people of the country as compatriots, and force the officials to prevent them from fleeing, or drive them back to their hometowns, or even slaughter them without permission; Instead, he was allowed to defect to another country, whether it was to work, do business, or even join the army, which was more in line with the saint's love for the people than direct killing, and the way of governing the country advocated by the Taishi. ”

After hearing this, Pan Cheng nodded: "What Yuan Fu said is true!" ”

Then, Pan Chengcheng said with a smile: "What's more, at present, we want to build so many post roads and passes, and we have to relocate the people to the real border, and to preserve the territory opened up after the implementation of the new policy, in order to preserve the martial virtues established by His Majesty after his accession to the throne, we have to abolish the road, perhaps the first ceremony to be built in the new rite is that the common people of the country should also be loyal to the country, so they have to temporarily give up the gift of filial piety to be useful people for the country, that is, the new rite should not be limited to scholars." ”

"That's right!"

"But the original path can be abolished, and his household registration should not be abolished, so that he can return to his hometown in the future to keep the gift of filial piety;"

"But in order to distinguish them from thieves, let the people who have moved to other lands be classified as borrowers, and establish a residence ticket system! In addition to leaving his name and characteristics, parents, etc., he must also have his current address and place of origin, and the officials of the place where he lives will collect his money to protect his safety, and at the same time inform the official office of his place of origin that this person is a good citizen who works for the country, and that he must not have his property confiscated unless he escapes from the robbery and does not want to protect him. ”

Hubu Shangshu Hairui said.

Shen Shixing nodded: "Yes!" ”

Shen Shixing then looked at the other ruling ministers: "Do you still have any objections?" ”

The other ruling ministers all said: "No objection! ”

So, not long after, Zhu Yijun received a secret revelation from the cabinet chief assistant Shen Shixing asking for the abolition of the road guide and the establishment of the residence ticket system.

"Waste Road?"

Zhu Yijun smiled when he saw it, and then got up and said, "Very good!" ”
