The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Measuring land is a relatively effective trump card in this era. For many landlords, it is almost equivalent to a blow to the head.

Especially at present, under the situation that the allocation of land into acres has been implemented, concealing the land that has been reclaimed is undoubtedly the best way to avoid taxes.

From the current point of view, it seems that Shanxi merchants have always been behind this.

Almost all other chambers of commerce are dominated by Shanxi merchants.

But from another point of view, Zhu Ying's implementation of many policies is constantly weakening the interests of the literati group and the landlord group.

For example, now that the land is allocated to the mu, the people without land have lost a tax, and the people with little land have also reduced a lot. However, the tax levied by the autumn grain court last year showed a slight increase.

We must know that the flood of the Yellow River last year had a great impact. According to the usual practice, it should have fallen sharply, but now it has risen instead.

The reason is actually very simple. People who have no land have no food to pay, and most of the poll tax cannot be paid.

And after it was time to share the income into the mu, these taxes were collected on the landowners who owned the land.

At present, Emperor Hongwu is suppressing Daming, even if there are some small and nasty incidents, but when it comes to major issues such as taxation, even the officials will at most cause a fire.

The implementation of the policy is still relatively grounded, which is why this situation occurs.

Every measurement of land property is a big project for the household department.

There is a saying that the superior one speaks, but the inferior official breaks his leg.

Now that the roads are not developed, most of the country roads cannot be passed by horse-drawn carriages, and they can only rely on walking.

If you walk casually, you will be outside for half a month.

Although Zhao Mian and other colleagues from the household department had a bit of bitterness in their mouths, they naturally had no reason to resist His Royal Highness Taisun's decree.

Zhu Ying smiled and said, "I also know that measuring the land is extremely difficult for the Qing officials in various places."

"This time I will measure the land, I will report to Grandpa, suggesting that the confiscation of unowned land, the local officials can keep half of it as a reward for this time."

"The distribution of rewards will be given priority to those who have the greatest credit for discovering unowned real estate. For the specific regulations, your household department will discuss a method and submit it to the palace for review."

"You don't have to worry about the household department of the capital. After the register is made, the palace will also reward the salary according to the specific situation."

If you want your horse to run fast, you need your horse to eat more grass.

Zhu Ying still has her own method for jumping enthusiasm.

Especially for such an act of measuring land across the country, if there is no practical reward, what will be lost is not the half of the land.

Hearing this, Zhao Mian's eyes lit up, and he got up and bowed: "I would like to obey the order of His Highness the Grandson."

Your Majesty will not be so generous, Zhao Mian is a smart man, so he hastened to decide what His Majesty the Grandson had to say first.

With this decree, it will be much more convenient for him to carry out his work, which is a real benefit.

Although the Ministry of Households is in charge of finances, the officials here have no money to fish for.

Whether it's from Jin Yiwei or from other surveillance, they pay great attention to the household department.

The Household Department is His Majesty's purse, and if there is a slight fluctuation, it will lead to a fatal disaster. Even if the Qing officials in various places are far away from the capital, they will be closely monitored by Jin Yiwei's secret agents.

Now that there is an order from His Royal Highness, it is definitely a huge reward for the officials of the household department.

At this time, apart from Zhao Mian, the Shangshu, the other officials of the household department, including the left and right servants, were all smiling.

"Ugly words, I will say first. Since there are rewards, there will naturally be punishments. If it is found that officials secretly colluded with the local gentry and concealed the report, then the rewards will be deducted as they should be deducted."

"Those who colluded will lose their official status and be punished as a crime of corruption."

"For this measurement, the principle of remote investigation is adopted, and prefectures and counties are used as points to investigate and deal with in rotation."

Zhu Ying said again.

Even if there are rewards, it is absolutely impossible that there will be no corruption. Cross-measurement and encouragement of reporting are just to reduce such phenomena.

As long as it doesn't affect the whole, then the imperial court will definitely make a lot of money by measuring the land this time.

For those areas where high-yielding crops are distributed, more attention should be paid to sweet potatoes, potatoes, which do not require high land, which means that more fields can be cultivated.

When the harvest is guaranteed, the landlords and gentry will go to the idea of ​​farmland.

As soon as Zhu Ying left, Zhao Mian and others became excited.

"His Royal Highness is really shrewd. Cooking like this, the clean officials from all over the country are going to work on errands, and they must be full of energy."

"To be honest, I even want to be transferred to the Ministry of Officials. Lord Shangshu, why don't you give me another chance."

"Okay, according to His Highness Taisun's wishes, there must be someone from our household department in the capital to inspect, and it will be you when the time comes."

Zhao Mian laughed and said, although there are grades, the relationship between everyone in the household department is pretty good, and they speak casually.

The official who just asked for an errand suddenly smiled awkwardly: "Your Excellency, I was joking, I was just joking, yes, joking."

Zhao Mian's face straightened: "I'm not joking with you, this matter in various places must be strictly implemented in accordance with Taisun's order."

"The errands are done. There are some in the Ministry of Cleaning Officials below, but we can still have a few in the household department of the capital. They have put all their energy into it and are serious about it."

"If someone messes it up, I won't be able to keep my black hat, and you won't be able to get it well either."

After coming out of the household department, Zhu Ying went straight to the capital mansion to report.

Regarding the land to be measured, let Yuan Jiachi prepare the draft first, and after the old man makes a decision at the court meeting, he can also publish it at the same time.

Di Bao's current control over public opinion has exceeded Zhu Ying's imagination.

Especially for the conquest of the Wa Kingdom, not to mention other places, just the people in the capital are full of enthusiasm.

Many children from rich families even said that they wanted to enlist in the army and join the army that conquered the Japanese kingdom.

In today's world, being able to offer to serve as a soldier, even if it is just a slogan, also shows that the image of Ming soldiers is quietly changing.

Zhu Ying has already suggested to the old man that in order to maintain the positive image of the sergeant, the regulations on criminal exile will be abolished.

Now there are too many places for Da Ming to employ people, but in the field of sergeants, even if there is an expedition of 50 troops, Da Ming does not feel that there is a shortage of soldiers.

Taking the route of excellence, this is the result that Zhu Ying and the old man have already discussed.

Here, Yuan Jiachi is of course acting in accordance with Taisun's order.

After explaining clearly, Zhu Ying went back to the palace, and finally explained to the old man.

"The method Dasun said is feasible, so let's do it first."

Zhu Yuanzhang is a very picky person, especially when dealing with officials.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, measuring the land is what the officials of the household department should do, and there is no need for rewards.

Could it be that this matter cannot go on without rewards?

The salary given by the imperial court on weekdays is all for plain rice.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to chat with Dasun about saving things, especially in expenses.

But thinking of the grandson's frequent theories, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little powerless.

In any case, many things that seemed unnecessary to Zhu Yuanzhang, the final result proved that Dasun was always making money.

Fortunately, on this matter, Zhu Yuanzhang is too lazy to say much for the time being.

At that time, Jin Yiwei will be secretly assigned, so as to make a list of corrupt officials, and let Dasun know that those officials, even if they are kind, have the same virtue.

"We also want to beat the eldest grandson once."

The eldest grandson is too good, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel at ease, but he lacked a sense of accomplishment.

I always want to let my grandson make a mistake or something in a certain matter, to show my sense of existence.

People, not all of them.

Even Emperor Hongwu was not exempt.
