Chapter 10: You Don't See
The evaluation criteria for the "year-end reward package" received by the feudal kingdom are fertility rate, stability rate, and contribution rate.
In other words, the higher the fertility rate, the lower the score on this top score.
The first three generations of the Ming clan themselves were very wealthy and lived very wealthy, and they didn't mind having a few more heirs to share the "year-end reward package".
However, around the fifth generation, as the number of feudal clans grew, the feudal kingdoms and feudal kingdoms would definitely involute each other to reasonably control the number of excess heirs in order to compete with each other.
In this way, Zhu Di can even think that after reducing the level of the clan, the matter of using the means of having more children and receiving more money to collect the wool of the court will be basically eliminated.
After all, under the condition of basically satisfying the needs of the inheritance of the heirs, the more you give birth to means that you are dragging the entire vassal country behind!
Without the widespread excess fertility of clan members, the imperial court's expenditure on clan income would naturally be within a reasonable range.
Jiang Xinghuo uses the system and human nature to dynamically regulate, rather than simply using the system to restrict like Daoyan.
Even if the clan has resentment, it will not resent the court and the emperor.
After figuring out these joints, Zhu Di breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zhu Di's eyes were full of shock, this was the path he had never imagined.
It turns out that governance can be so gripping people's hearts and using people to restrain people, so as to achieve their own goals, but they don't have to bear any resentment.
It's incredible!
Zhu Di has to admit that Jiang Xinghuo's concept of governing the country is really very special.
This kind of "human manipulation" can actually play flowers, and it is the first time in his life that he has seen it.
"A peerless genius who can be met but not found!"
Zhu Di's gaze next door began to become hot.
As for the stability rate, Zhu Di can understand that it is the stability level in the domain.
This evaluation criterion is also very meaningful, and it can allow the vassal state to consciously reduce the incidents of clan members breaking the law and oppressing the people, otherwise once the people are dissatisfied, it will be fed back to the ears of the imperial court, and the evaluation of the stability rate will decline.
Contribution rate, Zhu Di didn't understand very well, and thought that Jiang Xinghuo would continue to explain later.
For the three evaluation criteria of the feudal state, Zhu Di believes that it is basically perfect!
As for the four evaluation criteria for the members of the clan, as well as the unique evaluation ranking method, Zhu Di is even more amazing!
It was a real shooting, which frightened Ji Gang who was standing behind him.
Zhu Di turned his head with a smile and asked, "Ji Gang, what do you think of this method of evaluating and sorting people?" ”
"This Jiang Xinghuo designed the system and grasped the hearts of the people, which is really impressive...... Using the three aspects of the boss, colleagues, and subordinates to comprehensively evaluate, this is relatively fair and just, even if you are ranked low, you can't complain about the court, and you will only be dissatisfied with the other clan members who participated in the evaluation, which is really amazing! Ji Gang was convinced.
"It's like a prisoner being interrogated." Zhu Di knocked on the table, "I think this method is good, this year let's start with your Jinyi Guard, it's been hard work for more than half a year, and at the end of the year, let them evaluate each other and rank them out to receive rewards." ”
Ji Gang was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty! ”
And the words from next door cheered Zhu Di even more.
"What I just talked about is the first solution."
"The next thing to talk about is the second solution, which complements the first."
Is there a second solution? Or do they complement each other?
How did Jiang Xinghuo's brain grow? Why does he have so many good ideas?
And each of them is enough to solve the practical problems faced by Daming.
It's like a natural saint!
Zhu Di suddenly perked up and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
Under the old crooked neck tree, Jiang Xinghuo personally held a large piece of watermelon in his hand to Zhu Gaoxu to demonstrate.
Jiang Xinghuo pointed to the large piece of watermelon in his hand and said metaphorically: "If the tax income of the Ming Dynasty is compared to this piece of watermelon, is that the part that is distributed to the clan like this?" ”
Then Jiang Xinghuo broke one of the petals and took it out in his other hand, and the remaining watermelon in his hand was not much.
"Since the total amount of watermelon of 'state revenue' is unchanged, will I give a part of it to the clan, to the officials, and to the army?"
Looking at the three-petal watermelon in Jiang Xinghuo's hand in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu nodded, this is an obvious truth.
"Then have you ever thought that the watermelon of 'national fiscal revenue' can actually be made bigger?"
Zhu Gaoxu was a little puzzled, he scratched his beard, and asked: "Mr. Jiang, since you said that this watermelon is the tax income of the Ming Dynasty, and the tax income of the Ming Dynasty is basically fixed, at most there are some ups and downs, but how can you make the watermelon bigger?" ”
Jiang Xinghuo didn't answer him, but snatched a piece of watermelon from his hand.
"Got it?"
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned: "Robbing someone else's? ”
"Yes."
"But the Ming Dynasty is not a Mongol who can go on an expedition by driving cattle and sheep on horses, if he wants to rob other people's wealth, he must send an army, he must prepare civilian auxiliary soldiers, and he must travel thousands of miles to continuously supply supplies, and he is surrounded by poor countries...... First of all, whether you can win or not, even if you win, I'm afraid that what you grab might as well cost more, right? ”
"You're right."
Jiang Xinghuo returned the watermelon he had snatched in his hand, and then pushed Zhu Gaoxu out of the shade, the summer heat made Zhu Gaoxu, who had been in the shade for a long time, a little unbearable, and next to him were a few watermelons.
"Now I have leaves in my hands, and the leaves can give you shade, and you have a lot of watermelons in your hands, but there are no shade leaves, are you willing to exchange the watermelons in your hands?"
Looking at the leaves in Jiang Xinghuo's hand, Zhu Gaoxu seemed to understand something.
He said with some uncertainty: "What Mr. Jiang means is that the regions are different, the products are different, and the extremely cheap A here can be exchanged for the extremely cheap B in the foreign land, and both parties feel that they have made money, so they have reached a deal, and after Mr. Jiang gets the watermelon that is very valuable to you, the watermelon in his hand will increase." ”
Jiang Xinghuo asked after exchanging a leaf for a watermelon in Zhu Gaoxu's hand.
"Exactly, then I ask you, did we use force between us? Without the use of force, did I use trade to achieve the same effect, making the watermelon bigger? ”
"That's true......"
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned, but immediately thought of an important question.
"Mr. Jiang, since trade can make the watermelon of 'national fiscal revenue' bigger, haven't you thought of so many smart people in all dynasties?"
"Of course I thought about it, and even practiced it."
Looking at Zhu Gaoxu's puzzled eyes, Jiang Xinghuo groaned in a low voice with a look that Zhu Gaoxu had never seen before.
"You don't see it, the side court bleeds into the sea, and the Martial Emperor has no intention of opening the border!"
"You don't see, the Han family is in 200 states in Shandong, and thousands of villages are born!"
"You don't see, no one collects the white bones in ancient times, the new ghosts are annoyed and the old ghosts are crying, and the sky is cloudy and rainy, and the wet sound is chirping......"
