Chapter 414

"Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, no swords, encourage the people to be martial, even in the late Qin and Han dynasties, the country is scattered, however, a stabbing history, or too guarded, with the land of projectiles, can overwhelm the surrounding tribes! Ben Shuai led the Wanwan Ning Navy to cross Liaonan eastward, but there were no more than 10,000 soldiers, but it made it difficult for Jiannu to advance an inch, but he was defeated and retreated! ”

Cheng Shijie continued: "If the people really want to rebel, they will be against it without weapons. In the Yuan Dynasty, several households shared a kitchen knife, Taizu, Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and a group of heroes ascended to the heights, and immediately gathered hundreds of thousands of people, and drove the Tartars back to graze outside the customs, whether the people would rebel or not, not to see if they had weapons in their hands, but to see if they could live and live well! Regarding this series of reforms carried out by the new dynasty, Ben Shuai dared to say, let alone let the people have swords, bows and crossbows, even if one person gave them an explosives package, they would not rebel! ”

Cheng Shijie's words made the ministers fall into deep thought.

At the same time, Cheng Shijie also changed the court meeting system, in fact, the court meeting system has always been not like acting in film and television dramas, civil and military officials gather together, and ceremonial court meetings are held on a large scale in the Han Dynasty, mainly to highlight the national prestige.

The participants were huge, some of them were officials from 2,000 to 600 stones, and some were representatives of the surrounding ethnic minorities who submitted to the Han Dynasty. They are all eligible to participate in the Great Pilgrimage.

This kind of court meeting is actually like a debriefing report in later generations, only once a year, or held on the emperor's birthday, Cheng Shijie did not want to hold a daily court, but changed to a five-day dynasty in the Han Dynasty, and only cabinet members participated.

This is the Chang Dynasty, or the work of the routine meeting, just like the later generations of the enterprise unit in the weekly summary meeting, this kind of court, in the Han Dynasty time, is generally called "summoning the secretary of the meeting", if there is a major event, then expand the meeting, expand the meeting will need the Shangshu of the temple to participate, so that the scale is larger. Similar to the regular court meeting of the Ming Dynasty, officials above the fifth level in the capital had to participate.

But the problem is that Cheng Shijie did not hold an enlarged meeting on the matter of whether the people need to ban sword soldiers, but only decided to promulgate and implement the policy at the cabinet meeting, and the people can have weapons such as spears, daggers, firearms, and bows and crossbows.

Although policies have been enacted to allow civilians to own weapons and equipment, they are not allowed to be brought to public places, and only when armed training is allowed, can they be taken out of their homes in the open. Self-defense weapons are not allowed to be sold to each other, and everyone's weapons and equipment are numbered and need to be registered.

In fact, the spear is known as the king of the battlefield, but it has never been an ideal weapon to fight alone, unless it is a master of spearmanship, it is difficult to play with the spear, there must be a certain number and organization to play the true power of this weapon, these weapons are difficult to cause too much damage in the hands of ordinary people, it is better to use a waist knife.

Moreover, weapons such as bows and crossbows are very physically demanding, and if you want to play this kind of long-range projection weapons well, you must have an extraordinary physique, and it is absolutely not possible to strengthen the exercise, so that the common people can practice bows and crossbows by themselves is equivalent to helping the army cultivate a large number of physically strong soldiers.

The imperial court encouraged the people to practice martial arts, and each county held a sports meeting every year after the autumn harvest, including football, basketball, volleyball, rugby, fighting, long-distance running, sprinting, javelin, archery, shooting, every four years by the province and the government selected the elite, held a national competition in the capital, and the winners of each project will receive rich rewards and honors.

At the same time, the imperial court relaxed the control of all mountains, forests and rivers, and the people could hunt in their leisure time, hunting crocodiles, tigers, wolves, bears, pythons and other pests, and there were heavy rewards!

The impact of this reform is far-reaching. The most intuitive influence is that since the two Song Dynasty, the weak momentum of the Han nation's martial arts has come to an abrupt end, and the practice of martial arts and fitness has gradually risen, and competition and hunting have replaced play and feasting, and have become the most favored items of all classes.

At the same time, the quadrennial competition has become the most anticipated carnival of the people of the country, every time the competition is held, hundreds of thousands of people will pour into the capital, and then even foreign devils come to join in the fun, that scene once again proves Cheng Shijie's ability to make trouble, no matter what it is, as long as he intervenes, it will definitely become a big news in the end!

However, once the people have weapons, then it poses a certain threat to the officials, after all, when there are no weapons, the people have no way to resist in the face of powerful forces, but it is different if there are guns, a knife and gun with cold weapons, there is no way to threaten the officials who have the protection of the guards, but the gun can.

Of course, like the treatment enjoyed by officials, once the people break the law, the same three generations of immediate family members are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, go to school, join the army, and engage in politics, which is equivalent to cutting off the road for future generations.

Or once a person habitually drinks, picks quarrels and provokes trouble, or is mentally abnormal, he will be disqualified from owning weapons, and at the same time, foreigners who come to Daming are not allowed to hold any weapons, and they are worried about their personal safety, so they can not come to Daming.

Even if they come to Daming, they are not allowed to engage in the power to buy real estate, land and other assets......

At the same time, the Dingxin Dynasty made an unprecedented clear division of the responsibilities and obligations between the state and the people, established the general interests of the state in the form of law, and clearly stipulated that the rights and interests of the state are inviolable, and the act of betraying the rights and interests of the state and winning the favor of foreigners with the heads of its own compatriots as the Bank of China said is treason and cannot be forgiven.

The obligations of civilians to the state are mainly reflected in the two aspects of paying taxes and performing military service, while the state has the obligation to provide civilians with a good public security environment, education and employment opportunities, and to safeguard the rights and interests of the people.

The new policy stipulates that from now on, the poll tax, all forms of forced labor, and miscellaneous taxes will be abolished, and if a large number of people must be mobilized to build roads, water conservancy, bridges, etc., the government must provide sufficient food and higher wages to the people, otherwise it will be illegal.

All major projects employ people nearby, and the employment of people from other places must be voluntary by the other party, otherwise it is also illegal. As soon as this article came out, it can almost be described as "angry and resentful".

The new policy also redefined the status of merchants, abolishing all policies that disregarded merchants since Taizu, and making all farmers and industrialists equal. Businessmen also have the right to participate in politics, but if they betray the interests of the State, including the sale of prohibited goods and equipment, and the sale of national intelligence, they will be punished according to their circumstances.

Once the Ming merchants colluded with foreign countries, betrayed the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and exterminated their families, their children and grandchildren were forbidden to engage in business and go to school within three generations.

There is also the most important one, paying taxes has become an obligation, the more profitable the industry, the heavier the tax, the more you earn, the more you pay, those who do not pay taxes will be punished to bankruptcy, and those who buy off tax evaders will be punished by one degree, and they still want to evade taxes as they did before, which is a dream.

Secondly, the land is nationalized, and the sale of land is prohibited, which has been restricted by law, and the land property cannot be transferred, and the government does not recognize the contract for the sale of the land signed without permission, and it does not have legal effect, which means that if you have money, you can no longer buy the land as before, otherwise you will die.

The most fatal one is that salt, steel, and grain are listed as strategic materials, which are monopolized by the state, and the prices of these three strategic materials are forcibly maintained at a relatively low price by administrative means.

Of course, it is no problem for ordinary people to buy and sell 1,000 catties of grain for some money, but if a businessman dares to buy and sell tens of thousands of stones of grain in one go, he is looking for death!

Of course, after beating a stick, you still have to stuff a jujube, and the control of porcelain, wine, sugar, and tea. In all dynasties, tea has always been a government monopoly and is subject to extremely strict control, and it is a felony to operate tea without permission.

Now that it is released, private individuals can toss tea as they like, of course, some people want to sell tea seedlings abroad to make huge profits, it is purely brain water, no need for the court to do it, just peers will make him not see the sun the next day, and this kind of thing is the most hateful.

The new policy also proposed equality between men and women, abolished the practice of foot binding, and defined foot binding as child abuse, which is also a felony. The new policy stipulates that women enjoy all the rights that men can enjoy, such as studying, doing business, working in factories, participating in imperial examinations, and enlisting in the army.

In fact, there have always been female officials in the Dingxin Dynasty, Yang Yunniang is currently the largest official, she is the second minister, Qin Liangyu is the first official female general in the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Shijie canonized Qin Liangyu has the deputy governor of Anxi, and the red lady Tang Sanniang became the first female colonel, and she may become a female general in the future.

Cheng Shijie, as the regent of the Ming Dynasty, does not seem to understand the simple truth of "stability overrides everything", and after finally annihilating the Qing army that entered the Qing army and recovering Beijing, they did not give the Jiangnan gentry group a step down.

In fact, it is very easy for them to quell the Jiangnan Rebellion, as long as Cheng Shijie issues a holy decree similar to "only punish the first evil, not the rest", the Jiangnan gentry group will be eager to push out the unlucky puppet emperor Zhu Yihai in Nanjing and several important ministers of the small court in Nanjing as substitutes for the dead ghosts.

Then announced his allegiance to Cheng Shijie, and then hello, hello, hello, everyone, a harmony. Jiangnan Jinshen Group is also mentally prepared to push out the scapegoat, and even calculated how much wealth should be taken out to calm Cheng Shijie's anger, just waiting for Cheng Shijie's order.

As for the request for Cheng Shijie to release Emperor Chongzhen, it is to ask for a price and repay the money on the ground, these are all things that can be talked about slowly! If it really doesn't work, just if that path doesn't exist, as long as there is money, all obstacles can be broken.

Don't look at Zhang Pu as the leader of the Donglin Party, but in fact, the Donglin Party is just a dog in captivity by the Jiangnan gentry group, and if the dog is disobedient, it will be killed.

In fact, the Donglin Party made a lot of trouble, but the problem was that they did not have military power in their hands, and they were just spokesmen promoted by the Jiangnan gentry group.

Cheng Shijie also knew about this problem, but Cheng Shijie didn't talk to them, and even these things didn't even come out with a hint of rumors.

When the fist does not fall, it is the most feared.

Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, and Ma Shiying, the first assistants of the cabinet of Nanjing's small imperial court, were also inextricably fighting.

However, the Ming Dynasty on Cheng Shijie's side, the situation in the Beijing-Tianjin area has stabilized, and the highly efficient cabinet has not only come up with a specific plan for reform, but even organized the homeless people to build water conservancy, bridges, roads, and clean up the rubble.

There is no way, the current people of Beizhili are too poor, they have nothing but a breath, and the capable young and strong have all run away, and most of the people left behind are old and weak women and children, or people who can't run away with their families.

Because it is close to the end of the year, it was very difficult to endure in normal times, and now it is even more difficult, thanks to the Dingxin Dynasty to give them a way to live, grain from the south, cloth, salt, farm tools and countless other daily necessities from the eastern Liaodong region are continuously transported, so that the war-torn North Zhili can quickly heal the wounds and restore vitality.

The self-recovery ability of the Chinese nation is incomparable.

But the riots in Jiangnan proved that the war is not over and the bloodshed must continue. The common people expect the imperial court to quickly cut through the chaos and clean up these hidden dangers as soon as possible, especially Jiangnan, they hope that the imperial court will send troops to Jiangnan as soon as possible, set foot in Nanjing, and unify the world.

Yang Yunniang came to the dormitory where Cheng Shijie stayed and reported to Cheng Shijie, but Cheng Shijie was a little cowardly and didn't dare to face Yang Yunniang's resentful eyes.

"What should I do?"

After Yang Yunniang simply reported her work, she sat next to Cheng Shijie.

Cheng Shijie moved his buttocks: "What to do?" ”

"I'm already an old girl, I can't get married!"

Yang Yunniang doesn't know what Cheng Shijie is for, but the problem is that Cheng Shijie is obviously not sick, but she and Zhu Weiyuan and others are not moved, to say that they are not beautiful and attractive, but the problem is that there are also Jin Qiaoer, Yang Waner, including Gu Ziyi, and those women in Nanyang, all of whom are very beautiful.

Cheng Shijie doesn't understand anything, he also knows that because of his existence, no one dares to fight Yang Yunniang's doctrine, unless he is tired of life, Shen Mingyu dares to cuckold Emperor Chongzhen, that is because Emperor Chongzhen is a dead man in Shen Mingyu's eyes, not to mention Concubine Yuan, Tian Guifei He also dares.

As Cheng Shijie's descendant veteran, Shen Mingyu is actually testing Cheng Shijie's attitude, throughout the ages, there are few people who can coexist peacefully with the founding emperor and generals.

What Cheng Shijie thinks in his heart, no one can guess.

It's called unpredictable.

Seeing that Cheng Shijie was silent, Yang Yunniang brought a cup of tea to Cheng Shijie.

Cheng Shijie took the teacup, took a sip, and the tea went into his throat, however, as time went by, Cheng Shijie felt that the hall was getting hotter and hotter.

Cheng Shijie reacted: "This tea ......"

"You forced me!"
