Chapter Seventy-Nine, the Law on the Conferment of Military Service and the Law on the Granting of Knighthoods

This is not a home, I really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are.

Zhu Daohua rubbed his temples.

Guangdong's agricultural tax will not be expected in the next two years.

Moreover, it is necessary to engage in industry in Guangdong.

The amount of money to be invested upfront is also astronomical.

It seems that it is really wise to make up his mind to pull the businessmen of the Thirteen Lines into the water, otherwise he would rely on himself as a capitalist, how can he engage in capitalism?

This capitalism, first of all, you have to have capital.

But compared to the Qing court.

The advantage of Daming's side is that there are Daohua Bank and Chris Bank, two de facto central banks in Nanyang and Guangdong, which can "turn out money" through monetary policy.

In addition, HSBC is now also a bank with a very strong reputation in Guangdong, and its reserves are close to Daohua Bank and Chris's Bank.

There are these three major banks in hand.

Zhu Daohua's Ming Palace, on the other hand, could raise funds by borrowing from banks and issuing treasury bonds by banking institutions to maintain its operations.

"How many flag properties have been confiscated in Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, and Shaozhou?"

Zhu Daohua asked.

Of course, copying the house also has to be copied.

For example, the banner property of the flag people in Guangdong, the industries of foreign subordinate officials who are officials in Guangdong, and the industries of some Guangdong officials who are officials in other places.

Speaking of which.

Gu Song was quite a little crying and laughing.

These big officials in Guangzhou City, one by one, surrendered quite neatly because they deposited their money in HSBC.

On the contrary, few officials in the local counties surrendered.

On the one hand, these officials are all non-field officials.

Except for a few who hanged themselves after the underworld forces of the Heaven and Earth Society invaded the county seat.

Most of them are gone.

Ran straight away.

Of course, their industry in Guangdong will be confiscated.

The other part of the people are local clans in Guangdong.

These clans have sons and daughters who are officials in other places.

A few people who didn't open their eyes dared to organize a group drill to fight against the Ming Dynasty, and of course the property of these people would be confiscated, their families would be ruined, and they would be martyred for the Qing Dynasty.

Most of them closed their doors and were ready to stay out of the matter, but they had children who were officials outside the country and did not surrender, so they just confiscated the land and property, and did not raid the house.

Of course.

This part of the copy is only a small part,

The majority is in the banner property of the banner people, as well as the industries of the imperial merchants and official merchants in Guangzhou Prefecture.

Guangzhou was the largest commercial city in China in this era.

For example, the Thirteen Lines are officials and businessmen, but their roots are in Guangdong, and they are driven by economic interests to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty.

And those imperial merchants, officials and merchants who were based in the north and south of the Yangtze River could only abandon their industries in Guangdong and continue to serve the Qing Dynasty.

Speaking of this, Gu Song's face became a little frowning.

"There are more than 6 million acres of land alone, more than 10,000 shops and houses, and the rough estimate is worth more than 10 million Ming yuan, and gold, silver, jewelry, etc. are equivalent to more than 10 million yuan of Ming Yuan."

Zhu Daohua also nodded slightly when he heard this.

No wonder Li Zicheng's rebellion was killed all the way.

It's fast if you don't get any money.

At this moment, Boss Zhu wanted to be King Li Chuang, so he simply killed all the way and grabbed it all the way.

But reason prevailed over impulse.

After all, King Li Chuangwang is doing this, it is cool, and it will be a big trouble to clean up the situation in the future.

"Great King, these more than 6 million mu of cultivated land already accounts for one-fifth of the total cultivated land in Guangdong, and most of them are concentrated in the banner products around Guangzhou Mansion, which is the best cultivated land in Guangdong.

Qian Heng said.

"Yes, yes, the bigwigs of the Heaven and Earth Society still have merit, we can't unload the mill and kill the donkey, otherwise I'm afraid no one will dare to follow us in the future, but we can't afford to raise so many people, the best way is to share the merits!"

Zhang Hong, secretary of the Admiralty, said.

"That's right, and the division of land that we promised to join the army can also be carried out."

Zhao Si also said hurriedly.

Now the land rolls in the hands of the Ming soldiers can also be exchanged for a part.

In order to boost the morale of the army, it is also conducive to recruitment.

Zhu Daohua had a headache when he heard that the two leaders of the army and navy said that they would divide the land for the bigwigs of the Heaven and Earth Society.

Most of the confiscated land is the land of Guangzhou Prefecture, and the more than 6 million mu is worth at least 200 million Ming Yuan.

This is the best paddy field in the Pearl River Delta.

Although the fertility of the land is not comparable to that of the black soil in the northeast.

But the victory is that the terrain is flat, the water is abundant, and the heat is abundant.

Planting two crops of rice a year is easy to harvest.

Moreover, Guangzhou is rich and rich, and these local bigwigs like to buy land when they have money – like most Chinese, so the price of land around Guangzhou is pushed to the high level of the factory.

Therefore, this more than 6 million acres of cultivated land is definitely a huge amount of money.

"The land can't be divided in vain, you can use the policy of Tian Daixiang, and the bigwigs and leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society who are assigned to the fields must send their sons to join the army!"

Taking Tashiro as a sound was the original policy of the Ming army.

Take the land now owned by the Ming army.

According to the price of 30 acres of paddy fields for 10 years of service.

That's enough to exchange for an army of 200,000.

The price of 30 acres of paddy fields ranges from 1,000 to 1,500 yuan.

It is far more than the military salary of Ming Yuan for thirty yuan per Chinese New Year's Eve.

A soldier of the Ming army worked for 20 years, without eating, drinking, or consuming, and could only save enough property to buy 30 acres of paddy fields.

"This is a way, first give ten acres of land for service, and then give twenty acres after ten years of service, and these thirty acres of paddy fields for a soldier to serve for ten years, even if you don't pay the army, it's not a disadvantage, right?"

Zhu Daohua's eyes looked at Wu Dunyuan and the others.

These businessmen were well aware of the price of land in Canton Province.

"I'm afraid I can't ask for it," Wu Dunyuan said.

"That's okay, and it can also be stipulated that soldiers who are seriously injured, disabled, and killed in battle, no matter how many years they have served, can receive 20 acres of land that can only be obtained after the expiration of their service period, so that my Ming soldiers should have no worries on the battlefield."

Zhu Daohua smiled.

Zhao Wen and Xue Siyuan looked at each other.

Originally, they thought that this King Zhu Ming was too benevolent.

If it is a king who keeps it, it is okay, but if you want to say that the founder of the world is the king of the world, there is still a lot less ruthlessness.

But now it seems.

This King Zhu Ming is really generous.

Such a big hand, millions of acres will be given to the big soldiers below.

So.

How could these big-headed soldiers not regard Zhu Mingxiang as a reborn parent?

Moreover, all of this land was loyal to the Manchu bureaucrats and gentry.

If the Ming army is defeated.

Their land is gone.

Bao Daming.

It's a family business.

That's a lot of money!

There are millions of acres of land.

You can easily get hundreds of thousands of soldiers to serve the dead.

There are hundreds of thousands of people.

Defeating the Manchus was almost no difficulty.

This King Zhu Ming looks benevolent.

But this means ....

But it really deserves the courage of the founding king.

And this trick can only be used by King Zhu Ming.

He divides other people's land, and he doesn't feel distressed.

What about the Manchu side?

The land was either owned by the banner people or by the Han Chinese bureaucrats loyal to the Manchu Qing dynasty.

Whoever you divide is cutting your own flesh.

Who can mow.

Zhu Daohua said more and more he felt that he had found his state.

After all, I systematically studied the history textbooks of later generations.

In this set of textbooks, the art of dragon slaying is taught hand in hand.

"yes, that's a good idea."

Zhu Daohua paced back and forth a few steps.

"The soldiers and bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty can handle it in the same way, and the application is replaced by the soil, and all the volunteers of the Heaven and Earth Society in various places who meet the conditions for conscription can handle it according to this treatment. As for the bigwigs in various places, as long as they are willing to disband the halls and send the children of the family to join the army, in addition to enjoying the treatment of "Hibiki Tadai", they can also be given knighthoods! ”

"By the way, when Guangdong is settled, we will start knighting meritorious people. This title will also receive an annuity according to the rank. ”

When Zhu Daohua said this, his face became serious.

"This king can be said to be very righteous to these bigwigs of the Heaven and Earth Society, if you are not willing to be a happy person, then the king of the Ming Dynasty is not a joke."

"Military advisor, these days, we will discuss and discuss the [Military Service Conferment Law] and the [Knighthood Law]. In the future, we must act according to the law. ”

"Yes!"

Gu Song hurriedly responded.

If it was just a verbal policy before.

If the law is promulgated, the king of Ming will sign it and declare the world.

That's the royal law.

It must be done in accordance with the law.

And now that the Ming Dynasty has opened, it's time to seal some heroes.

At least now, it seems that King Zhu Ming is still quite tolerant.

And he is also very generous to his subordinates.

After discussion, two laws were promulgated: the [Military Service Granting Law] and the [Ming Knighthood Law].

It is necessary to follow the method of recruiting brave and brave people, and the bigwigs of the Heaven and Earth Society will send their sons to join the army and be knighted to win over them, after dismantling the Tiandihui underworld armed forces in the northeastern, eastern, and western counties of Guangdong.

Another problem to be solved next is the Qing loyalists who remained in Guangdong.

"These people are stubborn and die-hard, I don't think it's better to kill them all." Zhao Si, the secretary of the War Department, made a gesture to kill his head.

When Luo Fangbo heard this, he shook his head again and again and said: "King, there are at least fifty or sixty thousand of these people, and if they are all killed, I am afraid that Qianlong will get a large number of die-hard Hanchen." It is better to send these Qing Zhongliang, who have lost all their property, to the north. ”

"Hehe, can Qianlong Lao'er still raise these fifty or sixty thousand people as banner people?"

"Oh?" Zhu Daohua's eyes lit up.

"Yes, this is a great Qing loyalty, how can Qianlong not be treated badly, right? If you want to raise, that is, fifty or sixty thousand mouths for eating, if you don't raise it, hehe, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the loyal ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. And to use... Is this king's brocade guard vegetarian? ”

The families of Guangdong officials and local tyrants who were loyal to the Qing Dynasty on the Guangdong side had 50,000 or 60,000 people.

These people are empty-handed.

When he arrived in the north, he had to rely on the Qing Dynasty court to support him.

When the time comes, Qianlong will not raise it, and it will not be used.

It's all a nuisance.

And in the future, if the Ming army continues to go north.

The number of people like that would swell to hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands.

How are these people raised?

But if you don't keep it.

Isn't this Manchu dynasty going to lose its loyalty and conscience?

"Good! In this way, tomorrow a railway notice will be made in each county that all the remnants of the Manchu Qing can leave Guangdong, and the merchant ships of Daohua will send them to Songjiang Prefecture. No one is allowed to carry more than three taels of silver, and no gold, bank deposit receipts, or deposit receipts of money banks are allowed to appear on camera! ”

In fact, King Zhu Ming didn't give these people a way out.

Just cut the braids.

Be obedient to the people.

Then the safety of their property and lives can be guaranteed.

In this regard.

King Zhu Ming is indeed too benevolent.

Here it is.

The meeting was a great success.

There are solutions to the two major problems that plague the Ming Palace, which has just been acquired in Guangzhou.

Then everyone raised another topic: the emperor!

"Emperor..."

Zhu Daohua pondered for a moment.

To say that after you can get Guangdong.

Zhu Daohua can indeed be called the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he directly fought in the ring with the Qing Dynasty.

However, Boss Zhu thought about it again and again, and still felt that the matter of becoming the emperor could be postponed.

Because it's clear.

In the next one or two hundred years.

With the advancement of productivity brought about by the Industrial Revolution.

Authoritarian monarchies will begin to slowly fall into obscurity.

Especially the feudal dynasty of the great unification of the East.

It is even more difficult to adapt to the development of the times.

What kind of country does Zhu Daohua want to build?

What kind of emperor do you want to be.

What kind of dynasty to build.

Zhu Daohua has been thinking about these questions for a long time.

But I haven't found the answer yet.

Becoming emperor is a big deal for Zhu Daohua.

As the founding monarch of the country.

The rules at the beginning are very important, because he has enough prestige to implement some systems and policies that are suitable for future development.

If these things are left to his descendants to solve, I am afraid it will be even more difficult.

Any change is easiest to do at the beginning.

I want to reform halfway.

The internal resistance was enough to deter all reformers.

Sooner or later, the era of dictatorial monarchs will come to an end.

Zhu Daohua is very clear.

That is, no system can restrain him, the founding emperor.

So now is the best time for him to design a country, a regime.

Zhu Daohua is not in a hurry to become the emperor.

At least.

That was until he figured out what kind of country he wanted to get.

Zhu Daohua waved his hand and said: "Now that the affairs of Guangdong are complicated, there is no urgency to call the emperor, and it is not too late to at least pacify the south and become the emperor in the future." Now let's call a Ming King first, and act in the current Ming Wangfu. ”

Now the structure of Zhu Daohua's Ming Wangfu is very simple.

Gu Song, the military advisor, is the de facto prime minister, so a cabinet headed by the left and right prime ministers will be established, and there will be various civil administration departments in the cabinet, and there will be six temporary departments.

And outside the cabinet is the Generalissimo's Palace.

The Generalissimo's Office has under the jurisdiction of the General Staff, the War Department, the Navy Department, and the Equipment Department.

He is in charge of the army and navy's troop command, training, and operations in all directions.

The generalissimo was none other than King Ming himself, Napoleon. Bonaparte had not yet become a naturalized Ming (he still had a French heart), so he was in charge of the General Staff as General Adviser.

Locally, it is the four levels of province-government-county-township.

The governor of the province is the governor, the government has a prefect, the county has a magistrate, and the township has an eight-grade official to replace the original local clan self-management.

It's very simple and concise.

The advantage of this is that the cabinet departments can be added or cut at any time according to the situation in the future.

"Another thing is to do a good job in the imperial examination in March next year! It is necessary to first make public the content to be tested in the imperial examination, so that candidates in Guangdong and Lanfang can prepare in advance. ”

Zhu Daohua suppressed the matter of becoming the emperor.

For him.

Whether it is the Ming King or the Ming Emperor, in fact, there is not much difference.

"Your Majesty, there is another thing, do you need to set up imperial merchant management for your Daohua Bank, Chris's Bank, and HSBC?"

Qian Heng was originally a steward in Daohua Trading Bank.

The question he is now asking is also quite urgent.

King Zhu Ming himself has an industry.

So are his industries comparable to the imperial merchants of the Qing Dynasty?

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly got up from the bed. If you want to watch the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, and his chest trembled.

Confused, incomprehensible, all kinds of emotions come to my heart.

Where is this?

Then, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around, and then became even more dazed.

A single dormitory?

Even if he had managed to be rescued, he would have been in the ward by now.

And their own bodies...... How could it be that there was no injury at all.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept from the room, and finally his gaze stayed on a mirror at the head of the bed.

The mirror reflected his current appearance, about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his appearance was very handsome.

But the problem is, it's not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters ad-free and free

The previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look at it, this appearance is only the age of a high school student......

This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was a success......

The body and face have changed, and this is not a question of surgery or not surgery at all, but immortal magic.

He's a different guy altogether!

Don't...... Did you cross by yourself?

In addition to the mirror at the head of the bed, which was obviously not good in feng shui, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and looked at it, and the title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Novice Breeders"

Postpartum Care for Pet Animals

"Alien Beast Ear Girl Evaluation Guide"

Shi Yu: ???

The names of the first two books are quite normal, but what are you doing with the last one?

"Ahem."

Shi Yu's eyes were solemn and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he was about to open the third book to see what it was, his brain stabbed violently, and a flood of memories flooded back.

Icefield City.

Pet animal breeding base.
