Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 671 Shanshan’s New Deal (2)

People are different, especially those who come into contact with power. All parents and officials, no matter what rank they are, have different political concepts.

This will cause a kind of phenomenon.

It is often the previous magistrate who made various decisions during his tenure, and the new magistrate will make some denials or simply ignore them.

Especially the leftovers, the attitude of the majority of the new magistrates, in fact, I don’t want to care about it. After all, even if he helps to do a good job in this matter, the political achievements and official reputation do not belong to him, it is purely thankless behavior. What's more, when you first arrive in a place, if you do this rashly without familiarizing yourself with and understanding the local conditions, you will easily offend some people, which is not conducive to the follow-up work.

"The two provinces coordinate the abolition of some guards, which involves another important task. If the former is the worst, then the latter cannot be effectively promoted."

Chen Qiyu frowned slightly and said: "The investigation and abolition of the farmlands under the jurisdiction of the guards will all be transferred to the official land. If this matter can be done well, then we can refer to Henan Governor Sun Chuanting's investigation of the occupied official land in Henan. , to ensure that the occupied official land in the two provinces can be returned to the government directly under the jurisdiction of the government again.

The previous rebellion in the Ningxia Wei area actually sounded the alarm for us. If we want to gradually adjust the old military system and ensure the smooth progress of the new military system, we must ask the groups involved to have enough to eat and earn money. ability to withdraw money.

Otherwise, any attempt to reform will exacerbate group conflicts and cause local chaos.

The vassals and vassal clans in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, although they said that they had been severely punished by His Majesty before, and most of their descendants were summoned to the capital to study Zongxue, but the relationship behind them was intricate.

Chen Qiyu said with firm eyes: "This matter must be facilitated, and only by clearing up the official land can Shanshan and Shaanxi provinces be able to implement the integration of officials, gentry, food and errands in a certain period of time in the future!
Officials and squires have to serve corvee and pay taxes just like ordinary people. The corvee that needs to be served can be exchanged for money, which is the key to breaking the privilege.

The deployment around the land, Emperor Chongzhen collectively referred to it as the reform and adjustment of the old fields. The things that need to be done are very clear, curb land mergers, promote the distribution of land into acres, stop fire consumption and bad governance, cultivate high-yield and fine varieties, and clarify the scale of official land. It is clear that officials and gentry pay food and errands together...

Although the positions of the two are different, the problems and pressures they face are actually very similar. What's more, the degree of poverty in Shaanxi is even more serious than that in Shanxi.

If the new system specified by His Majesty can be tried out in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, the effect will not be worse than that of Sun Chuanting's trial in Henan.

Liu Hongxun narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "I'm afraid that if we really do it, we will all be infamous, after all, this is breaking the so-called privilege.

However, if the above-mentioned things want to bring about changes, they cannot be taken out at once. If this is the case, then Daming will once again stage the spectacle of rebellion.

This is an indisputable fact.

In addition, there are many important military towns on the border between Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. If this matter is not handled properly, it will cause some generals and soldiers to have bad ideas, which will actually cause big trouble. "

This can also be regarded as sending people for His Majesty to come under the rule of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces to prepare for the establishment of industries in the fields of smelting, forging, textiles, building materials, etc., which can be regarded as a relatively solid foundation.

During this period, a number of local government-run factories were prepared to take advantage of the situation. Although a lot of money and food were consumed, it was guaranteed that the bankrupt groups in the two provinces were all absorbed into the disaster relief bank.

This requires trial implementation in batches, types, and regions under review of the time and situation. First, carry out corresponding trials in a small area, solve problems when encountering problems, and solve troubles when encountering problems. After summarizing the corresponding experience, go gradually. The expansion of the scope, a new round of trials...

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to initially alleviate the land crisis of Ming Dynasty through the above series of combined punches, avoid most of the land in Ming Dynasty, and gradually circulate it to the hands of a few people through improper means, and staged a tragedy of "land cannibalism".

After all, for the conservatives, the land is definitely their lifeblood. If anyone dares to move it, even the emperor Lao Tzu, he must roll up his sleeves and make a theory.

If these two new policies can achieve the expected results, then it is foreseeable that many maladministration and cancers in Ming Dynasty can be easily solved. "

Is it very convoluted?
But the cruel reality is like this. Once the reform of the New Deal in any sense touches the interests, it will inevitably offend a large number of vested interest groups. If you want to effectively solve this matter, you must transform the contradictions and interests. Make sure that some things can be implemented relatively easily.

"Governor Chen is right."

However, with the increase of off-production groups, Shanxi and Shaanxi must take precautions to ensure the supply of regional food, not limited to external transportation, so this inventory of official land must be implemented. "

"This is destined to be a difficult road."

In the name of preventing disasters and solving them in advance, with the support of His Majesty's internal funds, he successively clarified the arduous major projects such as rectifying roads and rectifying water conservancy.

The key is that while planning reforms and adjustments in the old fields, planning reforms and adjustments involving new fields must also proceed alternately and in parallel. Otherwise, simply relying on land-produced reforms will not be able to save Daming at all. The intensified contradictions caused by the reform and adjustment of the old domain will definitely lead to rebellion and turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, so new interests are needed during the period to attract the attention of some groups.

"That's right!"

Liu Hongxun's expression became more serious.

The implementation of the Reform Reform will not only involve the planning and adjustment of old fields, but also the planning and adjustment of new fields.

Liu Hongxun calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "What we did in the past was to gather all the bankrupts under our respective administrations through the local disaster relief agencies.

But it doesn't matter, as long as it is something that benefits the country and the people, no matter how much infamy it bears, it must be done, after all, it is too difficult for Daming now. "

The Ming Dynasty was really not easy. Many entangled maladministration and malignant tumors were actually difficult to effectively solve and eradicate.

The transfer of Liu Hongxun to the cabinet was decided by Emperor Chongzhen after careful consideration. In the future, Liu Hongxun will gradually control the reform and adjustment of the old areas in the cabinet, so as to ensure that the new policies such as sharing the income of the people into the mu, and the integration of officials and gentry to pay food and errands can be better. Coordinate and try it out in various places.

Ensure that the northern provinces can be popularized in the shortest possible time.

If these new policies involving old fields can take root, the situation facing Emperor Chongzhen will be much better, and the financial pressure will be greatly relieved, and even the tilted financial system can be rectified!
