"Let's start with the first solution."

Jiang Xinghuo lay down and yawned, and asked, "Gao Yu, you were a general in the Southern Army, how did the rewards in the Southern Army be distributed at that time?" ”

Of course, Zhu Gaoxu didn't know how the Southern Army distributed rewards, but he didn't delay him from making it up casually according to his common sense.

"The basic rules are to distribute according to the merits and status of different soldiers and generals, and those who have made great meritorious contributions and work weekdays will be given more money; Those who have made small meritorious contributions and those who steal and play tricks on weekdays will be sent less. ”

"The second is to take care of the people who are close to you, and finally see if there is a relationship behind you and a mountain that needs to be considered, give them a little extra care, and generally do not have anything to say, and it will be over."

"Is it true that there is nothing to say up and down, or is it not up and down that you dare to say it?" Jiang Xinghuo asked with a chuckle.

Zhu Gaoxu scratched his head, but he was also honest: "Even if you are dissatisfied, you can't say it in the bottom of your heart." ”

"Then if these soldiers and generals are dissatisfied with the rewards distributed, who are the objects of their resentment?"

"Naturally, it's me, because it's a reward I distribute according to my military exploits, intimacy, and background."

"That's it!"

Jiang Xinghuo slapped Zhu Gaoxu's thigh.

"What does this have to do with the solution to the pressure of the Offering Clan?" Zhu Gaoxu was a little puzzled.

"Of course it does."

Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a moment, changed the other party's understanding, and explained.

"According to a discipline called "Management", the money that is paid on time is called the health care factor.

The access to health care factors is stable and the threshold is low, no matter how many or too little, people will think that they deserve it, but they are 'not dissatisfied', not 'satisfied'.

However, once the health factor declines, the recipient's mood quickly changes to 'dissatisfaction'.

Therefore, the health factor should only be used to meet the basic needs of life, and the pursuit of a better life requires another factor, that is, the incentive factor.

Reward is a kind of incentive factor, that is, whether or how much money there is, is not fixed, and the acquisition is unstable and the threshold is high.

It is precisely because of its indefinite nature that it is very easy to cause competition within the group, which in turn leads to the recipient's sense of pleasure and great 'satisfaction' while receiving the monetary reward of the incentive factor.

It is an addictive feeling that will push the recipient to continue and get better in the future so as not to lose their current ranking position in the group. ”

Zhu Di next door realized.

What Jiang Xinghuo said is very reasonable, and it simply points to the essence of the problem.

This kind of thing is every month, and everyone is still the same, and it is easy for people to have the feeling of "this is what Lao Tzu deserves", and they will not cherish or be grateful, so it is not a good thing to set the standard too high.

Rewards are different, if the rules are fair, you don't do well or not, and those who do well will be greatly incentivized.

Zhu Di suddenly remembered a strategy in the history books, and the first solution to describe Jiang Xinghuo could not be more appropriate.

- Two Tigers Compete for Food!

Zhu Di took a deep breath, suppressed his throbbing heart, and listened quietly, waiting for Jiang Xinghuo to explain how to achieve his solution.

"This set of theories, put on the current problem of clan offerings, it is easy to apply a solution."

"First of all, in order to avoid the problem of the high cost of supporting the clan in the future, which will lead to the reduction of the country's fortunes, it is necessary to make a fuss about the clan system itself."

"The clan level needs to be reduced from level eight to level six, and the basic level is all halved, and from level seven, the clan identity will be automatically removed."

"In this way, even if the number of clan population increases in the future, it will still not cause too much pressure on the Ming Dynasty's finances."

"At the same time, the clan offering should not be a pig-raising offering, but should be given something to do under the condition of ensuring their food and clothing, otherwise once people have nothing to do, they will be confused."

"What to do, the second solution will be mentioned later."

Jiang Xinghuo cleared his throat and continued.

"The design of public management policies needs to be both rigid and soft, and if the above is a big stick, then the bottom is a turnip."

"Reducing the amount of money, that is, the health factor, will definitely lead to dissatisfaction among the members of the clan."

"And back to the purpose of the design of the policy -

While peacefully resolving the reduction of military power by rewarding the feudal domains, the clan worship system would not have a disastrous impact on the future finances of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Here's the most important part of the motivating factor."

"Every year, the imperial court should set up a 'year-end reward package' for the vassals that seems to be very large."

"The total amount of this 'year-end bounty package' is not fixed, but fluctuates according to a certain percentage of the state treasury...... As to why this was done, the second solution will be explained later. ”

"The amount of the 'year-end reward package' received by a certain vassal state is distributed by the imperial court according to the results of the review of the vassal state, including the three evaluation dimensions of 'fertility rate, stability rate, and contribution rate', which are divided into three grades: excellent, qualified, and poor."

"Specific to the members of a certain clan in the feudal state, the superior clan, the equal clan, and the lower clan will approve their specific ranking among the clan members of the feudal kingdom according to their performance in the four aspects of 'loyalty to the country, filial piety, love for the people, and dedication'."

Hear here.

Zhu Di next door suddenly changed from a leisurely posture leaning against the table just now to a straight body, staring at the stone wall in front of him with wide eyes.

At first glance, it sounds like that, but is it really possible?

But after pondering it carefully for a while, Zhu Di felt that it was feasible!

The more I think about it, the more feasible it is!

After all, the imperial court now has a clear goal - to minimize the pressure of the clan on the future Ming Dynasty while peacefully reducing the feudal domain.

This is a problem that must be solved, and this matter must be solved, otherwise there will be big trouble in two hundred years, which will directly affect the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, Zhu Di didn't have any extra time to engage in any new policies now.

So in this matter, Zhu Di already intends to take the Daoyan method.

That is, to cancel the clan guarantee, reduce the clan level, and give up the clan identity.

This kind of small repairs and repairs in the system can undoubtedly reduce the pressure of the imperial court's clan support compared with before.

But compared with Jiang Xinghuo's method, it is not good.

It's just a difference between cloud and mud!

To reduce the pressure of the clan support, Jiang Xinghuo went down with a 40-meter dragon slaying treasure knife, and directly cut the Yulu in half, and cut the level by a quarter, so that the financial pressure of the Ming Dynasty in the future will be sharply reduced.

What's even more amazing is this "year-end reward package"!

Zhu Di once doubted that this was simply an idea that only a god could come up with!

Expenditures linked to fiscal percentages may not seem much different from fixed amounts, but in fact they can greatly increase the flexibility of the Ming Dynasty's finances.

In bad years, tax revenue will be paid a little less, and in good years, it will be paid a little more, unlike a fixed income, no matter what the financial situation of the Ming court is, this fixed money has to be spent.

In some extreme cases, this can greatly alleviate the financial pressure of the Ming Dynasty.

If you encounter a large-scale flood, drought, or locust plague, it is life-saving money!

And the different evaluation criteria of the members of the vassal kingdom and the clan are even more amazing!
