As for the generator, although it has been a small success in recent years, it can generate electricity normally, but it does not have the function of large-scale power generation.

The most important thing is that today's Dahan industrial technology does not yet have the equipment to manufacture and transmit electrical energy.

This point is not solved, and even if the generator is successful, it cannot be promoted.

Fortunately, the rubber trees planted in large areas in the south have begun to mature, and in a few years, the production of natural rubber will be supplemented with steel smelting technology.

I believe that it will once again bring a qualitative leap to the industrial development of Dahan.

However, seeing the disadvantages brought about by the rapid development of business today, Liu Zhi also began to think about whether industrial development should also slow down.

After all, the whole society, whether from the system to the ideology, or the industrial base, is too weak, and if it develops too fast, it may not be a good thing.

Nowadays, in areas where commerce is developed, there are already signs of capitalist thinking, and in order to make money, profit is trying to do everything.

These people had not been influenced by orthodox Confucianism before, but directly entered the great era of commercial development.

It is not surprising to say that such ideas have been derived.

The collision between the two ideas is very fierce and incompatible, and the bigwigs of the DPRK and China are basically people who grew up reading Confucian classics, and they have a natural antipathy to this kind of behavior and thought.

It is precisely for this reason that calls for household registration reform and the re-classification of merchants as low-class business registrations are getting louder and louder.

This is also the most contradictory part of the discussion, which is why Liu Zhi avoided this pit first and turned to discuss the agricultural reform that everyone agrees with.

Seeing that everyone spoke freely and offered suggestions, it took a while to summarize many suggestions, and today's court discussions are no longer as intriguing and chaotic as before.

Rather, there is a standardized system, and when civil officials are discussing, there will be scribes to record and organize their opinions.

Then each person will send a copy to study and discuss one by one, and if they can reach a unified opinion, they will stay, and if the controversy is too big, they will skip it first to avoid delaying time.

By the afternoon, a consensus had finally been reached on agricultural reform.

That is, the College of Agriculture conducts investigation and research, puts forward guidance, and then the local government combines the actual local situation to summarize the data, and finally the state provides comprehensive guidance.

The specific implementation rules are not included in this discussion, and will be discussed by the relevant departments.

In fact, this is the macro-control of agriculture in later generations, not that Liu Zhi could not think of it, but that there was no such foundation more than ten years ago.

Now it can be regarded as a matter of course, and he, the emperor, is only guiding from it, without giving a direct answer.

Many of the policies of more than ten years ago were directly formulated by him with a strong military background, and many of them were not affirmed by the courtiers at that time.

Although it turned out that most of them were correct, after many years, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty still had trouble with this matter.

Today's Liu Zhi, from the initial cowardice to the later gradual toughness, and even arbitrariness, has now become gradually peaceful.

This kind of peace, unlike the cowardice and subservience of childhood, is completely a kind of indifference after having absolute power and prestige.

Whether it is the control of the imperial court, or the battle of wits and courage with the courtiers, he is already familiar with it.

Therefore, even if many of his policies and propositions were not proclaimed, they could still allow the entire court to follow their own ideas.

Solving the problem of agricultural policy reform is equivalent to straightening out the thinking and opening up a gap, and the industrial reform that will be discussed immediately afterwards will be logical.

Because as soon as the concept of macroeconomic regulation and control is established, it is equivalent to solving all problems, and the problems of industrial development can also be solved with it.

Only this time, the institution in charge of investigation and research has been changed to a joint association of the Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Industry, and in addition to regulation, it is also necessary to formulate a regulatory system for this emerging industry.

Although the handicraft industry has existed since ancient times, it has not become a climate before this, and it is not as overwhelming as it is now.

For this reason, Liu Zhi interjected at the right time, proposing that all walks of life should establish a guild, and in addition to national policies, each industry should also have its own rules.

The association is jointly run by the government and the chamber of commerce, and the Ministry of Commerce will supervise it to avoid collusion between officials and businessmen.

Of course, no matter what industry, it must be subject to the supervision of the Imperial History Institute, and the multiple intersecting regulatory system is the basis for good and orderly development.

Looking back at the first issue of deep disagreement now, it seems less poignant.

For the entire merchant class, the most important thing is to regulate their behavior, and not to let them do whatever they want and disrupt the order of commerce and trade.

As long as they are shackled by order, then this class will no longer be as terrible as a flood of beasts.

Of course, there is still a need for identity restrictions, and this will not change even in modern times.

Therefore, the ministers unanimously agreed to revise the detailed rules of commercial tax and formulate strict policies for commercial and trade rules.

In addition, all officials in the court are not allowed to engage in business, not only themselves, but also their immediate family members such as brothers and sisters, wives and children, etc.

He also followed the example of some countries in later generations by adding a crime of unknown property to the criminal law, and anyone who possesses a large amount of property of unknown origin and cannot explain the ins and outs will be severely punished.

According to the size of the amount, the punishment is to be reduced from office, all property is confiscated, and the sentence is exile or even beheading.

Moreover, the unknown property includes not only in the name of the person, but also in the name of the immediate family.

As soon as this crime came out, it directly caused a sensation in the entire court.

None of the court officials expected that in the end, it was not only the merchants and peasants who would be hit hardest by this policy reform that attracted the attention of the whole country, but also the scholar class.

This crime directly blocks all the possibility of combining government and business, just imagine, even if you earn a lot of wealth, but what is the use of not enjoying it.

It's impossible to just bury yourself in a coffin and take it to the ground to enjoy.

And for the entire Imperial History Academy, this is simply a golden rule, as long as the unknown property can be monitored, there is no need to bother to find evidence at all, and there is no need to cooperate with Dali Temple to torture to extract confessions.

It's not too cool to be convicted directly like this.

For a while, the entire Imperial History Academy heard the news, and everyone was eager to try, haha, the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune has arrived.

You must know that no matter which dynasty you are in, the people who can enter the Imperial History Academy are basically thorns, and some of them are not even for the sake of becoming officials, they are the kind of people who naturally like to do things.

With this Shang Fang Sword, they are no longer afraid of those who they have the information they have in the past but cannot shake it.

For a while, all the officials who had ghosts in their hearts were in danger, and all the focus of the court was no longer concentrated on the merchant class.

Many people started writing about it, feeling that the policy was too draconian and asking for a revision.

But people who are truly honest and honest will not object, but will applaud.

At first, Liu Zhi didn't pay attention to it, but as more and more people pleaded, and the information sent by the Yushitai was also increasing rapidly, the atmosphere was very tense from the entire court to the local government.

Of course, for him, it was deliberate, to make them feel scared, to feel awe, to make them tremble and uneasy.

It is impossible to truly solve the problem of corruption in any era, only the difference between serious and not serious, and this phenomenon will continue to worsen as the economy grows faster and faster.

So every once in a while, you need to beat them and put a tightening spell on them so that they can restrain themselves.

After the court meeting ended, Liu Zhi hid in the deep palace, and did not ask about everything, except for a few court bigwigs, the rest of the people asked to see each other and refused.

A few days later is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, although the atmosphere of the whole Luoyang has not changed on the surface, everywhere is full of lights and laughter, countless red men and green women fire trees and silver flowers.

However, many wealthy families and nobles have a sluggish atmosphere, facing laughter everywhere, unable to eat, and full of sadness.

After the atmosphere had fermented for a whole month, Liu Zhi issued a new order in early September.

Any official who cannot tell the origin of his property can go to the household department on his own to clear the unknown part of his property, and as long as he does not take advantage of opportunism and deliberately conceal the information, he will not be held accountable for the past.

Moreover, the imperial court will keep this secret and will not disclose everyone's information.

But if you don't take the initiative to hand it in, when the Imperial History Institute finds out, you will be severely punished according to the rules.

As soon as His Majesty's grace was opened, the whole court breathed a sigh of relief, and they couldn't eat and sleep well this month, and they were in panic all day long.

Now I am finally relieved, as long as I don't lose my official position, the rest of the things are nothing.

In this world, as long as there is power, money, status and beauty, there will be everything.

Of course, they don't dare to take chances, retreat less or even conceal it, after all, in the past ten years, His Majesty has already proved that behind his benevolence, bloody iron-fisted methods will follow.

The last time the government was rectified, the Han family ended up being beheaded all over the house, and it still sends chills down people's spines when they think about it.

So no one can afford to gamble, anyway, they are all nobles, and they already have money in their hands, and they are still rich after leaving those unknown property.

Although it is inevitable that the heart and liver will hurt, at least the family foundation will be preserved, and it will be a big deal to use more brains in the future, open source and expand the flow, and make more legitimate financial paths.

Thinking about it like this, my heart was finally balanced, and one by one for the sake of face, they all took advantage of the dark night to sneak into the house.

And the household department has long expected this situation, and every night it sends additional people on duty, and the clerks in charge of receiving records are smiling from ear to ear every day.

Seeing that the wealth is rolling in, and the warehouses of the household department are full of money, even if it is not their own money, looking at these high-spirited dignitaries and nobles on weekdays, they feel extremely distressed, and they feel secretly refreshed.

Moreover, if the treasury is full and the household work is done properly, there will be additional rewards at the end of the year, and it will be very rich.

The officials of the Han Dynasty were not high, but as the country became richer and richer, the emperor was also very generous, and added allowances to many departments.

Every year, if the task is completed well, His Majesty will also give special rewards, which add up to much more than a year's salary.

To this end, every department has worked hard to get this extra wealth.

Looking at this year's posture, the household department and the Imperial History Institute will definitely be able to take the lead.

The officials who came to hand over unknown property, in addition to money, silk, gold, silver and jewelry, also had a large number of real estate and fields.

It takes a lot of time to hand over and count in the later stage.

As for the local settlement, the departments in charge of finance are responsible for it, and they are almost busy with this matter throughout the autumn and winter.

When the final data is counted, it is estimated that it will have to wait until next year.

Of course, the court bigwigs have their own things to be busy with, and the policy reform is only a rough framework for discussing in the court.

It still takes a lot of work to complete the formulation of specific rules.

In particular, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Industry are even more busy, and of course the busiest are the Ministry of Households, which has to cooperate with agricultural reform and register unidentified property.

Speaking of which, the scope of the functions of the household department is really broad.

Agriculture, land, taxation, household registration, income, warehouses, and so on all fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, which is almost equivalent to adding together the modern Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Central Grain Reserve.

The imperial court changed from five to six in that year, and later added a commercial ministry to become seven, but now it seems that the division is still not enough.

Liu Zhi carefully studied the current seven departments, and the functions of households, rituals, workers, soldiers, officials, criminals, and merchants, especially the household departments, were quite complicated and bloated.

As the name suggests, the Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for agricultural production, and the Ministry of Household manages household registration and related matters.

The collection of taxes was handed over to the Ministry of Commerce, granary storage and transportation scheduling, and a department called warehousing was re-established, which was independent of each department and directly under the management of the Zhongshu Province.

In other words, it means that the warehouse is under the personal jurisdiction of the emperor.

Now, there are as many as eight state departments, which have become eight books.

The division of various ministries of the state has been reorganized many times, and everyone is accustomed to it, not to mention that the household department is indeed a bloated organization.

Moreover, the people regard food as their heaven, and agricultural production should have been separated a long time ago, and the current area of the country is vast, and the difficulty of managing it has greatly increased.

In today's Han Dynasty, the state system is no longer a simple system of three provinces and six ministries, but a collection of multiple dynastic styles, mixed with a new system.

In addition to the Eight Divisions, the Imperial History Academy, and the Hanlin Academy are also institutions that go hand in hand with them.

Liu Zhi also improved the status of Dali Temple and established the independent official rank system of the Han Dynasty.

But Liu Zhi always feels that it is still not enough, compared with modern times, there is a lack of a very important government department, the Ministry of Education.

When he first ascended the throne, there were only four major government schools in institutions of higher learning, and the pattern of each state was basically the same as that of the capital.

The level of private learning is very low, and it is basically limited to the Enlightenment School.

Later, Dong Ban took the lead in Wuling and founded a private school, and Liu Zhi asked Deng Yan to open a higher private school.

Since then, the trend of running schools has gradually become stronger, in addition to the expansion of official schools in various places, the rise of private schools has also greatly driven the number of education in the Han Dynasty.
