Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily: "He said that he was fat and still gasped!" ”

Queen Ma said: "Don't sell it!" ”

She also understands that her husband has the heart of teaching and hopes that Zhu Jun can seize this good opportunity.

Zhu Jun said: "Grasp the big and let go of the small, the natural grasp is the general direction, the big strategy, just take it...... People's livelihood!

This is actually a very general direction, and whether people's livelihood is good or bad is not just a matter of people having enough to eat.

Of course, food and clothing are the bottom line, if the people are not well fed and clothed, then the ruler will inevitably slack.

In addition to food and clothing, there are also employment rates and unemployment rates, which are also two relatively large directions.

In addition, there is also the level of prices, the income of the people, and whether they can meet the normal life.

After satisfying normal life, can you spend extra!

For example, go to the following restaurant, listen to music, and buy things for your home!

The most important thing is whether you can support your children to study!

This is the general direction of education, let's not talk about this for the time being.

There is also traffic, whether it is convenient for people to travel, and whether the roads will be muddy on rainy days.

If you are sick, do you have the money to see a doctor?

These can all be included in the people's livelihood, Dad, are you busy working alone? ”

"We're testing you, not asking you to ask us, you go on, talk about the results!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Jun cut off, how could he not know his thoughts, so he continued: "This large piece can be divided into many small pieces, and the six departments are roughly in charge of these, but it is still too scattered."

Dad, if you had muddy roads today, who would you turn to? ”

"Didn't we say ......?"

"We're discussing, since it's a discussion, there are questions and answers!"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and replied: "Then it depends on whether the muddy road is long, if it is long, find someone to repair the road!"

"Looking for whom? Ministry of Household or Ministry of Industry? “

"That's the Ministry of Industry, of course!"

"That's not it, it must be looking for the Ministry of Industry, but who is looking for the Ministry of Industry?"

"This ...... Isn't it okay to go directly to the Ministry of Industry? ”

"Heh, this is Yingtian, dad is looking for a help from the Ministry of Work. Hand, the road will be repaired in less than two days, but how big is the world? Can Dad walk every road?

Could it be that on every muddy road, my father went to the Ministry of Works? ”

"This ......" Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, "There are naturally arrangements for building roads, so why do we need to ask?" ”

"Then you are lazy and slack!" Zhu Jun said: "There are still many muddy roads in Yingtian, such as the north of the city, where there are the most people, but it is extremely inconvenient to walk on a rainy day.

The main roads are fine, but the roads in the alleys are very poor.

Fortunately in winter, when the rainy season comes, the alleys are full of water, and it is difficult to drain them.

This is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and if you go to other places, you don't know that there are tens of thousands of muddy roads.

Dad, you can't manage it.

If it were me, I would find the person in charge of this part of the domain, according to the rules of our great business, the vassal king has no right to manage the people's livelihood, then go to the local parent official, and ask him to count how many muddy roads there are in the territory.

Priority is given to the construction of major roads and populated villages.

How wide and long the road should be built, pass through those villages, and let the local county government come up with a plan.

Make an estimate of how much forced labor will be required to build the road, and how much silver will be used, and wait for the end of the year to calculate.

If it is not completed, then count how many have not been completed, and then calculate the results separately.

He can't rely on these things on paper, and if he says that he doesn't have any money, then he should have calculated the plan.

If the road is adulterated, you can understand it with a hammer and knock it, and everything will be exposed on a rainy day. ”

"Hmph, of course, what if the local parents and officials forcibly exploited the people for the sake of political performance?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"How much silver does the local county government have, don't you need to announce it to the imperial court?"

"Of course, every year, all government departments, prefectures, and counties must submit money and grain, financial revenues and expenditures, and tax accounts to the household department!" After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he understood what Zhu Jun meant, so he asked again: "Do you use all the money and silver to build roads?" ”

"Of course not, people's livelihood is divided into so many items, and road travel is only one of the more important, such as food prices, prices, education, employment rate, unemployment rate, and the ability to arrest thieves and break prison.

These subdivisions are made into a budget table, and how each item should be done is clearly publicized.

In this way, the report from place to place, induction, even if it is busy, it is only a month or two.

If you feel inexperienced, pick a place to experiment, and if it is successful, use it as an example, and then slowly extend it.

In this way, I know what the parents and officials in the following places are going to do this year, and I don't have to listen to them talk nonsense every day.

Good or bad, acceptance can be.

Of course, what I said today is general, and it must be difficult to operate, but the eldest brother has a saying that there are a lot of things, and everything is clear.

Governance first protects people's livelihood, followed by taxation, and only when the people live and work in peace and contentment will the tax revenue be high.

When taxes are high, the treasury will be full, and the country will have the money to support its soldiers and defend against foreign enemies.

There is money to feed the people's livelihood.

It's a virtuous circle.

Although doing so will give those corrupt officials and corrupt officials a loophole to make money, it is better than them doing nothing, eating the corpse, and embezzling.

At that time, when a place was financially empty and people's livelihood made no progress, it would naturally look like it was in ruin.

But if the roads are smooth, the people's livelihood is prosperous, the business is developed, the employment rate is high, the people have money and silver, and there are many scholars, then this place will inevitably become a paradise on earth. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Jun paused, "This is all about grasping the small, and grasping the big, it must be above the court, if the imperial court takes the road of Yingtianfu as an example this year, it is determined to build a hundred, a total of 1,000 miles."

That's the general direction.

Expanding outward from Yingtianfu, whether it is to the north or south, or other places, it depends on which place the imperial court is determined to develop.

Just like Wu Land, it is the important place of finance and taxation for our great cause, so it is inevitable to focus on development.

But we can't favor one over the other, what is the problem of incubating a new financial and tax town with Wudi's as a template?

If I build roads to the north, and let out the rumors that I want to choose an important town in the north, as the second Wu land, and use these as assessment standards, do you say that those places with strength will be riveted to develop?

At that time, it will benefit the local people, and it will drive the level of a place.

Once implemented, several surrounding state capitals will benefit a lot! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, but pondered Zhu Jun's words.

At first glance, it sounds like a big deal and a small one, but this is a real strategy.

Knowing the subtleties, he led the area to the point, and then a complete strategy took shape in his mind.

He couldn't help but think, "If you do this, it seems to be true...... It will save a lot of trouble, not only trouble, but also time, and most importantly, it will be able to enhance the control of the following.

If there are corrupt officials, it is more convenient to do it! ”
