The basis for the rapid formation of the tax police corps lies in whether Jiang Xinghuo's edict prison literacy class can really succeed.

After all, it makes a big difference between two months and two years for so many veterans to learn numeracy and literacy.

This thing must be piloted first, and then gradually rolled out.

And the cultural training of veterans must also come in batches.

In this way, if it can be done quickly in two months, it will only take three or five years to promote it to the whole country; If it takes two years to learn, then it will be promoted, and it is estimated that when Emperor Yongle dies, he may not be able to do this.

Therefore, Jiang Xinghuo's literacy is the most critical thing.

Based on his own judgment, Xie Jin believes that unless he is an extremely intelligent child and learns around the clock, it is possible to learn 500 common words and simple arithmetic in two months, and if he is an illiterate adult, he wants to complete literacy in one hour a day and two months.

That's simply not possible.

In fact, this is also the reason why Jian Yi and Ru Yu can't believe it.

Nanjing Imperial Palace, inside the Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Di is handling government affairs after the Long case.

"Here we are."

Zhu Di raised his eyes and glanced at Da'er, and then waved the brush.

Zhu Gaosui, the third prince standing behind his father, tried his best to open his slender eyes, smiled happily at his eldest brother, and moved a chair over with his own hands.

"Big brother, sit."

After Zhu Gaochi nodded and thanked him, he sat on the other side of Zhu Di's case.

"How about looking at this twist and turn on Li Shangshu?"

Zhu Gaochi saw that his father didn't say the right thing, but he was not in a hurry, took the fold thrown by his father, and skimmed through it roughly.

Li Zhigang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked Chen to change Beiping to Beijing.

Zhu Gaochi read it out slowly: "Since the emperors and kings of the past, or cloth clothes, pacified the world; Or the outer domain, into the unification, and in the place of the trace, there is exaltation. See the political secretary of Beiping, the real emperor carried the land of Longxing, it is advisable to follow the system of the capital of Emperor Taizu Gao, and set up it as Kyoto, called Beijing. ”

Looking up at his father, Zhu Gaochi only said: "This is the same reason as Fengyang, the central capital, and what Li Shangshu said is also very etiquette, but do you still plan to move the capital now?" ”

Zhu Di put down his pen at this time and did not reply, but handed the holy decree he had just drafted to Hao'er.

"Set up the military capital governor's office, Beijing Xingbu, and Beijing Guozijian after the Beijing stay-at-home line, such as Nanjing as the old system of Yingtianfu, change Beijing (Beiping Mansion) to Shuntianfu, and the north parallel Taifu Temple to Beijing Xingtaifu Temple. The governor's office sets up the left and right governors, and the governors know the same and have no fixed number of people. The line department set up two scholars, four servants, six Cao officials, one person in the middle of the family rite soldiers, one person in charge of the department, and one person in charge of the department, and the secretary of the criminal department was the secretary of the Beijing department. ”

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi finished reading it, Zhu Di said again: "There are few people in Beijing, and I plan to enrich the population, so I have ordered Xia Yuan Jixia Shangshu of the Household Department to check the landless households in Shanxi to migrate to Beiping, and the counties and counties still give money according to the household, so as to purchase cattle, grain and farm tools, and start collecting taxes after five years." At the same time, the cabinet was asked to draft regulations for convicts to be convicted of crimes and tenants in Beijing, and prisoners below the crime of exile were allowed to reclaim Beijing's farmland. The rich people of ten counties such as Zhili and Suzhou, and nine provinces including Zhejiang were moved to Beijing, so that these people would not be chattering if they had nothing to do. ”

This is the same reason as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty forcibly relocated rich families to Guanzhong.

Needless to say, it has been a good means of weakening local power since ancient times.

Zhu Di leaned back in his chair and looked at his eldest son before replying, "I originally planned to do this matter of moving the capital. ”

"But after listening to so many lectures in the Imperial Prison, I also know that for the Ming Dynasty, the capital of Nanjing is extremely suitable from the perspective of the future."

"After all, Nanjing, which is close to the ocean but also some distance away, will not be directly threatened. And the Yangtze River is crossing, the water transport is developed, if the Ming Dynasty develops towards the ocean in the future, it is an excellent capital. ”

"Of course."

Zhu Di changed his words and said: "The matter of moving the capital can be reconsidered, but Beiping Mansion has been upgraded to Beijing, this is undoubtedly the Mongols, I must completely defeat it, so that they no longer have the courage and ability to invade the Central Plains, so that they can develop towards the sea with peace of mind." ”

Zhu Di didn't wait for Zhu Gaochi to say anything, and continued to speak to himself.

"Actually, I understand."

"Like any Mongols and Jurchens, they are all endless, killing a stubble, and a stubble, from ancient times to the present, in these desert steppes and deep mountains and old forests, which dynasty has killed the people?"

"But why do I still want to wipe out the Jurchens with all my heart, why are I so obsessed with inflicting heavy damage on the Mongols?"

"The reason is that if I don't do this, then the future generations of emperors, can there be someone like me who can personally conquer Mobei and clear away the troubles?"

Zhu Di sighed deeply and said, "I don't think it's going to be there." ”

"If the emperors of later generations are weak and try to sweep away Mobei, and the troops of the country are handed over to foreign ministers, how can we guarantee that the Ming Dynasty will not be usurped?"

"So, in my lifetime, I'd better do it myself."

"Beat the Mongols hard, beat them hard, and beat them to the west, so that future generations of emperors can rely on the Great Wall defense line to defend and create conditions."

"The Jurchens are also the same. If I don't do it, the future generations of emperors will do it, and the possibility of making mistakes is even greater, and I can't rest assured! ”

After listening to Zhu Di's words, the two brothers, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui, were silent at the same time.

In a sense.

Zhu Di, really like Zhu Yuanzhang!

Worried about future generations, do it yourself, and want to do everything you can do the best you can, leaving an iron bucket for future generations.

Zhu Di never mentioned the matter of the Imperial Prison Literacy Class and the Tax Police Corps, but discussed with Zhu Gaochi about governing the country one by one.

Zhu Di threw over another copy of the fold and said, "Your seventeenth uncle (Ning Wang Zhu Quan) is on the table, take a look." ”

Zhu Gaochi took the fold and hurriedly browsed it, and then he couldn't laugh or cry: "Uncle Seventeen wants to seal it to Suzhou or Hangzhou?" How is this possible. ”

"Hmph, it's just a matter of asking for a price to pay back, and he didn't dare to mention what I told him in the middle of the world, so he made a fuss about Suzhou and Hangzhou, a place that I couldn't give him, thinking that if I refused him, I would have to give him a similar anointed land as a feudal country." Zhu Di said nonchalantly.

"Where does my father want to seal Uncle Seventeen?" Zhu Gaochi asked cautiously.

"Let him go to Nanchang, that place has outstanding people, and it is not bad to keep the pension."

Zhu Di knocked on the dragon case with his knuckles and said.

After the two matters of moving the capital and changing the title of King Ning were finalized, Zhu Di turned the topic back to today's topic.

"You have seen the matter of the tax police corps."

Zhu Gaochi said carefully: "Erchen has seen it." ”

"What do you think?" Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at his eldest son.

Zhu Gaochi directly singled out: "Father refers to the tax police corps itself, or do you say that the second brother is in charge of this matter?" ”

Zhu Di glanced at his eldest son with a hint of surprise.

"Let's talk about it."

"Erchen thinks that Mr. Jiang's mention of the tax police corps is excellent, which can not only improve the efficiency of tax collection in the Ming Dynasty, but also allow the imperial court decrees to be transmitted to places that could not be reached before."

"As for the second brother, he is in charge." Zhu Gaochi said frankly: "Erchen thinks there is no problem, after all, after the second brother is released from prison, there must be something to do, and it is also extremely suitable for the second brother to discipline and train those arrogant and accustomed pawns." ”

Zhu Di was silent for a few breaths, and asked equally frankly, "Do you really think so?" ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded, and the flesh on his face trembled.

Zhu Di continued to ask: "Jiang Xinghuo will be released from prison in more than two months, he has run a literacy class in prison, I want to try to see if I can let illiterate prisoners know 500 commonly used words in more than two months, plus addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, do you think it can be done?" ”

"According to common sense, Erchen thinks it can't be done."

Zhu Gaochi's answer did not surprise Zhu Di.

Zhu Di bowed slightly, and said: "Jian Shangshu and Ru Shangshu also said the same, but I don't believe it, it's not that I don't believe their judgment. ”

"But I think that Jiang Xinghuo will definitely be able to break this common sense!"

Zhu Gaochi glanced at his father in slight surprise.

Unexpectedly.

In the heart of his father, Jiang Xinghuo was so trusted.

Obviously it is something that the world thinks is impossible, but his father still believes that Jiang Xinghuo can do it.

"Father."

Zhu Gaosui, the third prince, who had never spoken much, suddenly said loudly: "I heard that the literacy in the edict will start tonight, do you want to send someone to take a look?" ”

"Yes."

Zhu Di frowned and said, "Then who is the right person to send?" At noon, they had already worked once Xia Yuanji, Jian Yi, and Ru Yu, and let them go, I'm afraid it would not be good, after all, they must have a lot of official affairs on hand at this time. ”

"If you send other people, I'm afraid they won't understand."

Zhu Gaochi said at this time: "It's better to send a bachelor to solve the problem, if there is anything unique about Mr. Jiang's literacy, if there is anything unique about Mr. Jiang's literacy, if you want to come to the bachelor who has already spread the name of the world, he will definitely be able to see the way." Moreover, Mr. Jiang has not met Mr. Xie, so there is no problem for Mr. Jiang to see anything, just tell Mr. Xie not to reveal his identity. ”

"Xie Jin, this is also a good candidate." Zhu Di said.

At this time, the third prince Zhu Gaosui reminded again.

"Father, the eunuch of Sanbao is also back."

"Oh? I almost forgot. ”

Zhu Di slapped the table and said smugly: "Xie Jin's wild temperament must be watched by a safe person, so be it, send Xie Jin and Zheng He (renamed two months ago) to go together, in this way, there will be no mistakes." ”

"Third child, go and pass the decree."

Zhu Gaosui bowed down to receive the order.

"Yes, Father!"

——————

Edict of Prison.

Under the starlight, there is not even the sound of insects in the prison, which is particularly eerie and silent.

In a vacated duty room, a group of prisoners gathered.

These prisoners all looked at the basket of steamed buns on the table with greedy eyes.

"This steamed bun is really delicious to look at."

"It's not, it's still steaming, and I don't know how hard it is to take a bite."

Someone swallowed saliva and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

At this moment, a cold and deep voice suddenly came from behind the cell door: "You dare! ”

The big hands stiffened in mid-air, then retracted in a huff.

"This master, you're hungry too, why don't you eat first?" The man laughed at the two jailers guarding the doorway.

The black-faced and bearded jailer didn't say anything, just put his hand on the hilt of his knife.

Several people in the room on duty were suddenly silent.

"Want to eat?"

Facing the black without the jailer's questioning, the summoned prisoners nodded their heads.

"If you want to eat, remember it for me, learn well, eat with steamed buns, if you don't learn well, get out."

When the jailer had finished speaking, he held his knife and said no more, leaving the prisoners in the duty room staring wide-eyed.

Next to the black-faced and beardless jailer was a white jailer.

Of these two people, one is Zheng He and the other is Xie Jin.

At this time, they all dressed up as jailers and listened in the watch room.

The prisoners were talking.

"What are you learning?"

"I heard that it is to learn to read and count."

"Let's learn to read? No kidding, right?! ”

"Shhh Whether to give a bun or not, we'll see later. ”

"You say, can I learn it?" An honest-looking prisoner asked a tall, thin man beside him.

"Who knows." The tall and thin man shook his head and said inarticulately.

As he spoke, blood was oozing from his mouth.

Zheng He knocked the people on duty with his scabbard.

After a few moments, everyone sat quietly in their chairs, holding their breath and waiting.

Soon, the person they were waiting for came.

Jiang Xinghuo, who had been pondering all the way, walked in with a notebook bound with thread, a few pieces of charcoal, and a wooden board.

The daytime course, in the "taken from the people for the people", is actually a beginning and end echo.

There are still things to follow, but Jiang Xinghuo doesn't plan to continue.

Classical political economy, if you want to expand on it, is really endless.

Wage theory, profit theory, land rent theory, capital accumulation reproduction and taxation, international free trade and comparative costs, etc.

Classical political economy, on the other hand, is just a solid brick underneath economics.

Although this floor tile is also used by the bearded teacher Ma as a stepping foot

As for the "I Daqing" that was originally intended to be used as an example of the tax system of a traditional agricultural country and the transformation of the tax system of a modern industrial country, this is the best case of tax reform and centrifugation of the central government, Jiang Xinghuo was afraid that the people of the Ming Dynasty would lack a sense of substitution, so he also deleted it.

After entering the duty room, Jiang Xinghuo left behind the thoughts of the day's mess.

Looking at the various prisoners in front of him, Jiang Xinghuo smiled and said.

"You're all hungry, let's eat steamed buns first."

Xie Jin and Zheng He glanced at each other, and a trace of disbelief flashed.

The biggest reward was sent as soon as it came up, how could this group of prisoner students still be motivated?

You call it literacy? You're being struck by illiteracy, aren't you?

And Jiang Xinghuo watched as these prisoners scrambled to grab the snow-white steamed buns, gobbling them up; While putting down the wooden board, charcoal, and thread-bound books he had brought in his hand.

Jiang Xinghuo didn't say anything, just looked at these people.

A subtle trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
