The thirteen-year war that plagued the whole country has finally come to an end, and the aftermath after the end is very complicated.

It's like a house collapses and you need to repair it, and repairing the house is more troublesome than building a new one.

There are a bunch of bad debts all over the country, but Cui Zhongfang, who is the best at managing accounts, is about to die.

Pei Yun is now the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Yang Ming knows that the other party's business ability is not outstanding, Pei Yun's strength is insight into the mind and super political sense, but there is no way, it can't be changed for the time being, it is easy to stimulate the old Pei family.

Then the two civil servants, Feng Deyi and Wei Jin, will have to share more.

At the court meeting on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Yang Ming took the lead in saying:

"Last year, the Henan region was quite stable, and the cotton cloth produced by several weaving workshops was now hoarded in the treasury and could not be sold, after all, the people had no money, but the treasury also had no money, and your Ministry of Civil Affairs thought of a way to sell these cotton cloths as soon as possible."

Pei Yun frowned and said:

"The Ministry of Civil Affairs has been trying to sell it among the people, but the effect is limited, and now the price of grain is still at a high level, and it is unrealistic to expect the people to use the money to buy cotton cloth with the money to buy rice."

"So there's no way to bring food prices down?" Yang Ming frowned.

Pei Yun nodded and said: "I can't suppress it, scarcity is expensive, and now there is a shortage of food in various places, so a situation has been created, all industries are declining, but the price of food remains high." ”

"Let Wu Hua go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and serve as a waiter in the warehouse, grain is the foundation of the country, and the price must not be high, which is a major matter related to people's livelihood," Yang Ming said: "Bring down the price of grain, raise the price of handicraft goods, encourage people to raise livestock within three years, and control the number of slaughters in various places to alleviate various problems caused by food shortages." ”

In ancient times, livestock was still mainly grazed and fed, and those who had no feed basically did not take grain to feed, including pigs, and pigs ate pigweed, such as bowl flowers, bracken, herringbone fruits, etc.

At present, it is unrealistic for the Great Sui to want to introduce high-yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes, because these two crops are in the Americas, and today's navigation technology cannot support them.

The increase in the price of handicraft products is also aimed at returning a large amount of money to the state and facilitating the manipulation of the market.

Any goods, need to be at a reasonable price due to the needs of the situation, now the people have no money, the first solution to food and clothing, they will spend money to buy other necessities of life.

That is to say, this policy is to save your life first, and then fill the treasury with excess money, as for those who have no spare money, of course, it will be ineffective, and to promote domestic demand, it is originally to stare at those who have spare money.

In ancient China, because there were too many famines, the common people developed a habit of saving money, in fact, to deal with the crisis.

How to take out the people's spare money and flow it into the market needs to create demand.

Now it is winter and you need to keep warm, so the main goods are coal, firewood, and winter clothes.

Only the rich can afford to use coal, so this price can give it a surge and suck the blood of the rich.

Chai He, the people in the township are not lacking, self-sufficient, only the people living in the county need it, then this price can also be mentioned, in order to protect the livelihood of the people in the township, they can sell Chai He into the city, increase additional income.

As for the winter clothes and cotton clothes, after Wu Hua entered the palace, he proposed to sell them to the military government to pay for the army's salary.

This works, but it's somewhat coercive.

So Yang Ming said: "This. It depends on the individual's heart, not coercion, but voluntarily. ”

In fact, he also knew in his heart that when the voluntariness in his mouth came to the bottom, it became voluntary.

There's no way, who makes the treasury poor, he can't fall into this bad reputation, let the people below take the blame.

Yang Ming continued: "The country's use of soldiers, the emphasis is on the military government, the country recuperates, you have to count on the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, in the next few years, your burden is very heavy, the Ministry of Industry Tuntian Division will discuss a way to come out, with the power of the country, check the land in the world, the place that should be reclaimed, the imperial court will formulate policies, and the localities will implement it conscientiously, and the new land will be reclaimed and granted to the people. ”

Pei Ju nodded and said: "Opening up the wasteland and tuntian, a major matter of the country, requires the coordination of various departments, Si Litai still has to keep an eye on it, Yang Xun may not be competent." ”

Yang Xun is Yang Yue's younger brother, and after Yang Yue's death, he took over Si Litai.

To be honest, this person is really not good, but Pei Ju's implication is too obvious.

Yang Xuangan suddenly frowned and said: "Jurong is familiar with public affairs, iron-faced and selfless, and is responsible for supervising Tuntian, he is the best candidate. ”

Pei Ju said with a smile: "The place is too guarded by Hongnong Yang, or attached to your family, it is better to avoid suspicion." ”

"There are quite a few of your families," Xuan said.

Pei Yun, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, raised his eyebrows and said: "If it weren't for the matter of annexing land in Shandong back then, it would be nothing to hand it over to Yang Xun, but now, I'm afraid that he will steal it." ”

"You're going to have this with me, aren't you?" The second Yang Xuanzong said: "Then do you want to know, what happened to our field in Shandong?" ”

Later, it was taken away by Yang Ming and handed over to Zhang Xutuo to appease Shandong.

Pei Qiantong grinned and said, "So, Xuan Zong admits it?" Are you really in Tuntian, Shandong? ”

Yang Xuanzong was stunned for a moment, and looked at his brother Xuan Gan, Xuan Gan's face was already pale, he was not angry with his younger brother for talking nonsense, but thought of himself back then.

At that time, he was talking nonsense in the court, and his uncle Yang Yue wiped his buttocks, but now it's okay, he doesn't talk nonsense, and Xuan Zong starts talking nonsense.

Although the prince knows about this, you can't admit it in front of so many people.

Yang Ming smiled and helped to relieve the siege: "Okay, okay, there's nothing to quarrel about, your views are different from mine, the matter of Tuntian is too involved, in order to ensure that it finally falls into the hands of the people, you have a big family, and it is not appropriate for anyone to go, you don't take it, you don't want anyone in the clan to take it, Pei Gong's scruples are still right, this matter should avoid suspicion, the meaning of loneliness, set the world into fifteen provinces, each province has a supervisor, and it is directly managed by the province under the door." ”

Yang Gongren frowned and said, "Which fifteen?" ”

Yang Ming beckoned and asked Du Ruhui to take out a map and spread it in the center of the hall for the ministers to read.

This is a imitation of the Tang Dynasty fifteen provinces to divide the fifteen regions, of course, there will be no section envoys, only supervision envoys, their task is to supervise the situation of acres of land for the state.

Food is the foundation of the country, this pass must be controlled, whose field should be whose field is whose field, Yang Ming doesn't want the government military system to rot so quickly.

After all, in history, the government and military system withdrew from the stage because land annexation was too serious.

The fifteen provinces are Heeong-do (including the Northeast and Goguryeo regions), Kannai-do (Guanjung), Hadong-do, Longxi-do, Nam-do (including Shandong), Gyeonggi-do (Gyeongzhao area), Dogi-do (Luoyang-gu), Shannamdong-do, Sannam-seo-do, Gangnam-do, Huainan-do, Gangnam-seo-do, Yeongnam-do, Jiannan-do, and Qianjung-do.

The supervision envoys of the 15 provinces are equivalent to the leaders of the inspection teams sent by the central government to the localities, and the localities cannot control them, and the provinces under the door cannot actually manage them.

Yang Ming just attached them to Menxia Province, but in fact, he directly managed these fifteen people.

This kind of position cannot be permanent, and it must be replaced frequently, otherwise it is easy to be corroded.

That is to say, within a year, they have to come to Beijing to report their work during the New Year, and the remaining half of the year is in the local area.

The fifteenth province is not the new administrative division of the Great Sui, but only exists in the area of supervising the fields and acres.

Yang Xiu was dumbfounded: "An inspector can't manage such a big place, right?" ”

Yang Gongren said with a smile: "There must be an acting officer, and the number will not be small." ”

"So who should I send?" Cui Junsu frowned.

Now many people can see that this is a top-level fertilizer difference, which is a management of acres, and there is no greater asset than acres.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "Fifteen people, seven of them are recommended by you, and the other eight are selected from the annual jinshi." ”

"They can't do it, can they?" Wei Kuangbo was puzzled: "I have just been a junior high school, and I have no experience in handling government affairs at all, so I am afraid it will be a mess for them to go down." ”

Yang Ming said: "Xuan Gan also said just now, this errand is very easy to do, the requirements are not high, the iron face is selfless, people can be reliable, and they can work hard for the court." ”

A supervision, it sounds like it's very easy to do, just keep an eye on the point, the officials are the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, but this staring is not easy to star.

For example, if you go to the county to guard the yamen and want to access the file of the granting field, and people find an excuse not to show it to you, what can you do? Report to the province and let the prince and the province support you?

The subordinate province is not so idle, but will blame you for not doing things well.

And why Yang Ming uses Jinshi, it is because they are young, fledgling, and they don't have so many fancy intestines, and they are not the kind of time-honored old foxes, and they rely on young people to improve their workplaces.

Just scold them for me, I'll look at the magistrates below, who dares to touch you?

Yang Xuangan is now completely following Yang Ming, what you say is what you say, just listen to him:

"You don't understand what the prince means, the Jinshi are all those children of the poor family, who have just received grace, and they are all thinking about seeking political achievements, so they naturally work harder than you, and they will not be greedy."

Pei Yun sneered: "Your explanation is too far-fetched, so according to your meaning, the other seven people arranged by the prince will be greedy?" ”

Yang Xuangan retorted: "What? My Great Sui Dynasty is full of corrupt officials? Can't choose any of the seven righteous people? ”

"Don't argue," Empress Xiao interrupted the two of them and said, "It's the Shangyuan Festival soon, are the lantern festivals in the eastern capital ready?" ”

The starting point of women is different from that of men, and Queen Xiao only thinks about how to celebrate the festival.

Yang Ming hurriedly said: "This matter, the son has been handed over to Xiao Yu to be responsible, although the treasury is empty, but on the Yuan Festival, it is still necessary to make the queen mother comfortable." ”

Empress Xiao nodded, looked at Xiao Yu and said, "Keep everything simple, don't increase the burden on the country." ”

This is still an empty sentence, she said that from Jane, to Xiao Yu, she will never be Jane.

Don't listen to what the leader says, you have to know what the leader thinks.

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the queen will not make a big deal, and it will be lively and grand." ”

Women love to celebrate holidays, and it has been the same since ancient times.
