I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 342, Industrialized Countries
Xu Wei looked at Zhang Ning in surprise and said, "You have it?"

Zhang Ning nodded and said, "I found out not long after you set out, and it's been four months now!"

Now that the weather has not turned warm, Zhang Ning is still wearing a thick woolen sweater, so Xu Wei didn't notice anything when he saw Zhang Ning just now. Touching Zhang Ning's belly, he said in surprise, "This is too sudden!"

Xu Wei remembers watching TV dramas where the male and female protagonists had to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships for a child. It took dozens of episodes of TV dramas to go through various disasters before the child was born. It was really more difficult than learning scriptures. That's it!

Zhang Ning was amused by Xu Wei's tone, she laughed: "We are both in good health, this is normal! It is not normal if we have not conceived a child for more than half a year!"

Then she said solemnly: "Even if it is for our children, you have to be the emperor, and this world must be passed on to our children!"

Sure enough, although a woman is weak, she is strong as a mother, not to mention that Zhang Ning is not a weak woman at all!It was just this that gave Xu Wei a headache. Obviously, she had already determined that the Tengjia Army's country belonged to his son!

But if you really want to be an emperor from the feudal era to the capitalist era, I'm afraid the end will not be so good!After all, in the first scientific and technological revolution, many kings came to the guillotine!Replacing the system is not about killing one or two people, but replacing a group of people from top to bottom!It is the most dangerous to become an emperor in this period, and it is easy to be buried with the old era!

Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "This world was not brought down by me alone, but by the efforts of the entire Huaguo tribe. This world does not belong to me, but belongs to the entire Rattan Armor. Naturally, I hope that our children will be stronger than me, and each generation will be stronger than each generation. If he has the ability, he can also become the ruler with his own efforts in the future!"

Zhang Ning looked at Xu Wei in surprise and said: "As the founding king, it is impossible for our son to surpass you, Liu Ying did not surpass Liu Bang, and Liu Yang's ability did not surpass Liu Xiu. This is simply impossible. ! And I don't understand why you don't want to hand over the world you conquered to our son?"

From Zhang Ning's point of view, the first emperor conquered the world, and the second emperor ruled the world. How could it be possible to compete in prestige with the emperor who conquered the world!Moreover, it is a matter of course for Lao Tzu to conquer the world and his son to inherit the world. Why did something go wrong when it came to Xu Wei!
Zhang Ning felt that it was impossible for the second generation of emperors to have more prestige than the founding king, but Xu Wei really knew that there was such an example. Li Shimin turned against the founding emperor Li Yuan.
Of course, it is impossible for him to understand this period of history. Xu Wei could only helplessly say to Zhang Ning: "It is not easy to be the emperor in the future. If you push our son to be the emperor now, maybe you will push him to the guillotine!"

Zhang Ning was puzzled and said: "Why are you so pessimistic? With the strength of our Tengjia Army, it is inevitable to seize the world of the big Han. The newly established country will definitely have a long period of prosperity. The big Han has the world for 400 years. We established How can the country of the country should be longer than the big man!"

Compared with the history books, what Zhang Ning said was not completely unreasonable, but he didn't know that the Tengjia Army was undergoing a revolution that was more intense than the Qin Dynasty's unification of the six countries. The dustbin of history!Therefore, the Rattan Armor Army cannot be compared with the big man, but should be compared with Qin Chao!

Xu Wei could only patiently explain to Zhang Ning: "Although the Dahan has been turbulent these years, the strength of the Dahan itself is extremely strong. It can even be said that under our oppression, the military strength of the Dahan in the past few years has been greater than that of the founding of the country. The most powerful period!"

"What does this have to do with our children inheriting the world? No matter how strong the big man is, he can't be the opponent of our Tengjia army!" It has been swept away, and it can even be said that if it were not for the anomaly of the Rattan Armored Army, the Dahan Tiejun would still be invincible in the world, and under the oppression of the Rattan Armored Army, the Dahan could still create an army of 50 to fight the Rattan Armored Army. To encircle and suppress the uprising of the great virtuous and good teachers, the big man only mobilized 10 troops. In terms of numbers alone, the big man is five times stronger than that of the Yellow Turban Uprising!
It's just that there is such an oddity as the Vine Armor Army, such a powerful man was still defeated by the Vine Armor Army, she even more recognized that this world was brought down by her husband, if it wasn't for his husband, how could there be such a powerful Vine Armor military!

Xu Wei smiled and said: "The military strength of the Han Dynasty is almost comparable to that of the founding period, but why did such a powerful Han Dynasty lose to us repeatedly! It is because the Han Dynasty is a feudal country, and our Huaguo is an industrialized country. The industrialization of the military is nothing more than handicraft industry, but this determines that our national strength is stronger than that of the Han."

"You can see that our rattan army is far superior to the big man in industry, agriculture, and commerce. The strong industry makes our sword faster than the big man, the armor is stronger than the big man, and the agriculture is strong so that we can produce more food than the big man. We can rely on one Bingzhou to resettle millions of refugees. These are things that the big man cannot do. We are stronger than the big man in business, so we can mobilize more funds than the big man. The most concise and clear comparison is fiscal revenue. During the period of Emperor Ling Dahan’s finances are only two billion yuan, and even if our Tengjia Army only occupies the three states, the fiscal revenue has exceeded 300 billion yuan. If our Huaguo can occupy the entire thirteen states of Dahan, the fiscal revenue will soon increase. Breaking through hundreds of billions of dollars, this is dozens of times the peak financial income of Dahan!"

"This is the strength displayed by industrialized countries. Even in newly industrialized countries, the strength of the Fuji Armor Army has not been fully utilized, but this has already prevented the big men fought by our Fuji Armor Army from fighting back. The strength of the Fuji Armor Army is stronger than The big Han is 10 times stronger, but at the same time, the difficulty of ruling is also dozens of times more difficult than the big Han."

"Because it is an industrialized country, it is completely different from the countries that have emerged in China for thousands of years. It is a brand new country, and the previous experience in governing the country cannot be applied to it! The emperors and emperors are all products of the old era. It is not suitable for the newborn Rattan Armored Army. If I force the emperor out, I will definitely be backlashed by the Rattan Armored Army. If it is better, our descendants will become puppets. If it is worse, we will lose our heads! Only those who advance can do a good job in governing the Fujika Army, and will not be backlashed!"

Zhang Ning did not understand the industrialized country that Xu Wei mentioned, but she had stayed in Mayi for many years, so she could see that Mayi was completely different from other places in Dahan. However, Mayi is full of vigor and vitality. There are new changes every year, and it is getting better every day. As long as you come to Mayi from Dahan, it is like entering a new world. Zhang Ning does not understand why Mayi has such a change, but today I heard Xu Wei said that she vaguely understood that what Xu Wei established in Mayi is an industrialized country, which is a brand new world!

But this brand new world lost the throne of his own son, the emperor!

Zhang Ning said angrily: "Xu Wei, why did you create a new world, but took away my son's throne! Why did other founding emperors and their sons inherit the throne, but our son has nothing?" !"

Obviously Zhang Ning no longer intends to reason!

Xu Wei said with a face full of headaches: "Emperor is just a title. In the past, it could be called Son of Heaven, now it can be called Emperor, and in the future it can also be called Regent. Why don't I want to be the emperor? It's because the power in my hands is no less than that of the emperor. It's just the emperor. The appellation is too closely related to the old times. If I become emperor, other people will be named princes. The system of the old era will inevitably be restored slowly, but our Tengjia Army is a brand new country and does not need these residues of the old era! "

Then Xu Wei looked at Zhang Ning solemnly and said: "I don't dare to say that the Rattan Armor Army I established can definitely eliminate injustice, but I am working hard towards this aspect. Think about the great virtuous and good teacher, he just saw the big man. Only in the darkness can we establish a fair and warm land. Millions of soldiers and followers of the Yellow Turban Army follow the ideal of a great virtuous teacher to fight. Those of us who are alive continue to fight with the ideal of a great virtuous teacher. You can't just think about your son, but forget the ideal of a great virtuous teacher and the sacrifice of millions of Yellow Turban soldiers. We must carry the ideal of a great virtuous teacher and build a society that will not starve to death, be fair, A just world!"

Sure enough, after Xu Wei mentioned the great virtuous teacher, Zhang Ning did not speak anymore. The one she admired and admired most was the great virtuous teacher. He has always been his role model. Now that Xu Wei said this, she seemed to realize that I am selfish!
After communicating with Zhang Ning, she didn't bother Xu Wei with proclaiming the emperor anymore!
After no one bothered him, Xu Wei began to think about how to structure the top management of the Tengjia Army!If he wanted to improve the status of the Ministry of Punishment, at least he had to separate from Shangshu Province. The Dali Temple and the Inspectorate had to be built, and a vertical management and supervision system had to be established at the local level!Although the newly-born Huaguo is still a positive group, bureaucracy is inevitable, and the supervision of bureaucrats cannot be relaxed. Of course, Xu Wei will not be as eager for quick success as Ming Taizu. He knows that anti-corruption is a long-term process. , To establish a reasonable system and monthly salary, don't think about something once and for all.

To be honest, Xu Wei looks down on Zhu Yuanzhang a bit in terms of anti-corruption. He is too small-minded and really regards the world as his own. Although the emperors of all dynasties may have such thoughts, he is the first to show it nakedly. yes, and did so
The Ming Dynasty was extremely harsh only on officials, but it treated princes and grandchildren generously.

Zhu Yuanzhang set the Prince's Jue's annual allowance of [-] shi, [-] banknotes, [-] pieces of brocade, [-] pieces of silk, [-] pieces of gauze, [-] pieces of silk, [-] pieces of winter and summer cloth, and [-] pieces of cotton. One thousand taels, two thousand yin of salt, one thousand catties of tea, and fifty horse fodder per month!"

It can be said that as long as he is his son, he can be rich and powerful and have a fief, and all the consumption needs of the clan members in the Ming Dynasty are borne by the state. His descendants have eaten imperial food since they were young. It is unique in history, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty couldn't help feeling, "My kindness to my relatives can be said to be omnipotent, and its thickness is far greater than that of previous generations."He was so extravagant that in less than a hundred years, the entire Ming court could not afford to support these royal relatives!
Coupled with the jealousy and harshness of officials, many princes and grandchildren can't do things even if they beat beggars, and live in a cage all their lives!

But it is very harsh on officials, even if the salary of the first rank is eighty-seven shi, down to the third rank, the salary will be reduced by [-] shi for every lower level, and the salary of the third rank will be thirty-five shi, and when it comes to the county magistrate It was difficult to support the family, so much so that it became news that Hai Rui cut two catties of pork for his mother's birthday!

The monthly salary is so low that officials are really used as long-term workers!The official could only do it on his own, so in the Ming Dynasty, officials spent all kinds of charcoal and charcoal, and kept [-]% of it before leaving the court, and all kinds of corruption methods became unspoken rules.

Moreover, the officials would not be as good as the Ming Dynasty, but thought it was their own ability.

This is not to say that corruption is good, but the unreasonable salary system formulated by Ming Taizu is the culprit that made corrupt officials rampant in Ming Dynasty. Officials in Ming Dynasty saw the treatment of princes and grandchildren, and then compared their own treatment. No officials would treat themselves Such treatment is satisfactory.

Therefore, the officials of the Ming Dynasty basically did not regard the world of Daming as their own, and they all tried their best to poach the corners of Daming!Therefore, no matter how developed the commodity economy of the Ming Dynasty was, it still could not collect local taxes, because the officials and the court were not of the same mind, and they had long been called merchants and bought them!

So when everyone thinks that the Ming Dynasty is a poor character, the poorest one in China for 5000 years is the Ming Dynasty.But it happens that people are still in the period when the commodity economy is the most developed, but if they can't collect taxes, everything is useless.

The example of the Ming Dynasty is worthy of Xu Wei’s vigilance. First, the monthly salary of officials must be increased, because if you do not increase their income, they will find their own way at that time, and the system must be supervised by people. When the entire court begins to corrupt Therefore, corruption has become an unspoken rule, and officials will try their best to poach the loopholes in the system.

Of course, it is not enough to just increase income. My Song Dynasty is an example. Officials really regard themselves as the masters of the world, so lawless that even the emperor dared to give it to the enemy.Therefore, the supervision of officials must start now, and any officials who dare to cross the line will be severely punished!
The current Tengjia Army basically follows the system of the Great Han, and the county magistrates and sheriffs have great powers. It can be said that all government affairs are grasped. A money shop was built to separate the financial rights from the county magistrate and prefect. In the future, the prefect of the Tengjia Army will have much less power than the big man, leaving only the right to handle government affairs!In this way, the possibility of corruption will be much less!
