My life skills in Daming Liver.

Chapter 332

(The title is Nanjing Qianhuang, sorry, my head is dizzy this morning.)
The weather is getting colder, and the winter of Jiajing 41 was even colder than last year.

Su Ze didn't know if it was the influence of the Little Ice Age, but this year Zhejiang has already started to snow, and even the northern part of Fujian has ushered in the first snow.

Because Fuzhou is close to the sea and relatively south, it hasn't started to snow this year, but Su Ze has already ordered disaster prevention preparations for the area under his jurisdiction with the order of the Governor's Mansion.

"Grand Governor, it's your turn to make a move." Xu Wei, who was sitting opposite the chessboard, reminded.

Su Ze picked up the chess piece and saw that his dragon was about to bite Xu Wei's dragon. He decisively made a move, completely blocking Xu Wei's way of the dragon's breakout.

"No more, no more!"

Xu Wei's chess skills were not very good, but Su Ze always dragged him over to play chess.

But every time Su Ze played chess, his mind was not on the chessboard, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Su Ze started discussing the current situation with Xu Wei, taking advantage of the skill effect of [Vulgar hand: Ordinary hand only strives for the first, no old score in mind, temporarily gains intelligence +6 when playing games].

"What's going on in Guangzhou Mansion?"

When Xu Wei got down to business, he regained his serious expression and said, "The news from Mr. Tan is that Prefect Bai and Inspector Pan have turned against our army anyway, and now fifteen counties in Guangzhou have fallen under the control of our army."

Su Ze directly spread out the map in the chess room. The area under the jurisdiction of the Guangzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty was very large, almost the same areas as today's Guangzhou, Foshan, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Zhuhai, Hong Kong, and Macau. It basically included the essence of the Pearl River Delta Plain.

Controlling Guangzhou Mansion will own some of the best piers in the entire South China Sea, and today's Pearl River Delta Plain is also an important grain-producing area, and the entire Guangzhou Mansion is very rich.

Nowadays, Chaozhou Prefecture on the border with Fujian, which is the Chaoshan area in later generations, is already under Su Ze's control. In addition, Guangzhou Prefecture has already taken possession of it, Su Ze can send troops to capture other prefectures in Guangdong at any time.

However, Su Ze still asked Qi's army, which is now the third brigade of the Southeast Allied Army, to stop.

Now the Southeastern Allied Forces has reorganized four brigades. The first brigade is led by Lin Mojun and is stationed in Shanghai, while the second brigade is led by Lin Liangjun and is now stationed in Jiujiang.

The third brigade is the third brigade led by Yu Zigao and is stationed in Guangzhou.

The fourth brigade was reorganized by Lin Deyang's Zhejiang New Army and was stationed in Jingdezhen.

Su Ze gave Yu Zigao an order to completely control the [-] counties in Guangzhou Prefecture to ensure that the spring plowing in the next year will not be affected.

In addition, Yu Zigao was required to regain the right to Macau leased by the Frangjiren (Portuguese), and the Frangjiren were prohibited from living in Macau.

However, Macao was opened as a port, allowing merchants from various countries to dock, and the Guangzhou Shipping Department was established in Macao.

At the same time, Su Ze also ordered Yu Zigao to occupy the artillery field and captain set up by the Portuguese in Macau, and the craftsmen of all these technical factories can continue to live in Macau.

The navy remaining in Chaozhou and the gunboats brought by Yu Zigao have surrounded Macau. More importantly, the soldiers on the road can board Macau at any time.

Not surprisingly, the Portuguese succumbed.

Portugal's big shipowner in Macau finally accepted the conditions proposed by Tan Lun and withdrew from Macau years ago.

Xu Wei asked doubtfully: "Grand Governor, these Macau people pay four hundred gold coins to Guangdong Haidao Yamen every year. Since you allow them to do business in Macau, why do you have to drive them away?"

Su Ze said: "We naturally welcome business, but it is not acceptable to lease our land. This is the bottom line that cannot be tolerated."

This is not to say that Xu Wei was traitorous, but that in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty people at that time, Macau was a place where no one lived.

But for Su Ze, taking back Macau is not a bargain.

He knew deeply the urinal nature of these Western colonists and would never give them an opening.

"In addition, I sent a letter to Tan Gong that Macao craftsmen and mercenaries can stay, but none of the missionaries can stay, and all of them will be deported."

Xu Wei also read the Western missionary scriptures translated by Su Ze and had no favorable impression of these people.

Su Ze added: "I plan to build a foreign business hall at the port. All foreign businessmen who come to our southeast to do business will have to spend their own money to live here."

"In addition, I have set up a translation office under the Fuzhou Shipping Department, which specializes in translating the books brought by these foreign businessmen."

Xu Wei nodded. Since the opening of the sea, it has indeed brought about many problems.

For example, after foreign ships arrive at the port, businessmen and sailors often make trouble at the dock, causing many security problems.

In addition, the medical department led by Li Shizhen also discovered several new diseases at the dock.

If it weren't for Li Shizhen's medical officers to deal with it in a timely manner, these diseases would have spread to the city.

Su Ze was also taken aback. Only then did he remember the smallpox and plague brought by the Spaniards in South America, and strengthened the port's epidemic prevention measures.

But these are still not enough. As long as the port is open to trade, many infectious diseases will naturally be introduced.

Smallpox was rampant in the early Qing Dynasty, and even the emperor was left with pockmarks due to the sequelae of smallpox.

Thinking of this, Su Ze quickly wrote to Li Shizhen, describing to him the technique of planting vaccinia to prevent smallpox, and asked Li Shizhen to experiment with breeding vaccinia and train doctors who can plant vaccinia.

Establishing a dedicated dock area can not only reduce public security problems, but also block the introduction of some diseases.

After dealing with the matter of the port, Su Ze held the chessboard and said, "Brother Wen, let's play another game!"

The corner of Xu Wei's mouth twitched, but in the end he picked up the chess pieces obediently. He didn't understand why Su Ze wanted to play chess with him because there were so many officials in the Governor's Mansion.

Only Su Ze knew that he played chess to take advantage of the intelligence +6 buff, and played chess with Xu Wei to discuss political affairs with him.

In addition, only Xu Wei's Go level is similar to Su Ze's, and he can play evenly with the buff of intelligence.

Su Ze made a move in the Tianyuan position. Xu Wei had already become accustomed to his unconstrained moves. He ignored Su Ze's move and began to occupy the side board according to the chess record.

"Wenchang, what's going on in Nanzhili?"

Su Ze continued to exert his strength in Tianyuan, but Xu Wei finally couldn't bear it anymore and started fighting with Su Ze in the center of the chessboard.

"The intelligence station in Nanzhili has been built, and the stationmaster Xiong is infiltrating various yamen in Nanjing."

Su Ze picked up the chess pieces and said, "Nanjing has to attack, and can't attack quickly. Lin Liangjun in Jiujiang will put pressure on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and hold Zhang Juzheng back."

Xu Wei said with admiration: "The governor really knows the best talents. Who would have thought that Nanzhili is now supported by Uncle Zhang."

"Although there are talents, Zhang Juzheng's request to perform a whip method in Nanzhili was rejected by the Ming court."

Su Ze said: "If the Ming court really implements a caning method in Nanzhili, it will be the way to death."

"One whip is not bad, but just like the two tax laws in the Tang Dynasty, all the old taxes and miscellaneous labors are converted into silver into the tax. Naturally, the imperial court can also expand its financial resources for a while, and the exorbitant miscellaneous taxes originally levied by the local government into the treasury."

"And because the tax base has been clarified, the people no longer need to be exploited by local officials and petty officials, so they can temporarily rest and recuperate."

"But can the imperial court really agree with the people as it did at the beginning of the implementation, not to continue raising taxes?"

Xu Wei put down the chess piece and showed a listening expression.Su Ze said: "After the implementation of the "Two Tax Laws" in the Tang Dynasty, taxes continued to be raised later. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was nothing to increase. Naturally, Huang Chao led people to revolt."

"If Zhang Juzheng implements the two-tax law, the imperial court and the government can't help but increase taxes for at most ten years. Even if it is done in the future, there will be new levies and miscellaneous taxes."

Xu Wei thought about it carefully and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Back then, he helped Hu Zongxian fight against the Japanese in Zhejiang. He originally used banknote tariffs as collateral to issue bonds, but he had actually raised a considerable amount of money.

But it was still not enough to spend. Later, Hu Zongxian seized the Zhejiang Chaoguan Office, and then almost invalidated the anti-Japanese coupons.

Now Su Ze is still in Zhejiang dealing with the issue of anti-Japanese bonds in those years, re-establishing trust in bonds.

But it is easy to destroy and difficult to build. Now Zhejiang is already looking forward to bonds.

Su Ze said: "Actually, this is also due to human nature."

"Every prefect and county magistrate in the Ming Dynasty wanted to make some political achievements."

"Take Fujian as an example. Some unimportant county towns have higher city walls than prefectural cities."

"The county magistrate who takes office always has three things to do when he takes office. He always has to do some things, and all of them cost money."

"I still think that officials have no selfish intentions, and they are only talking about political achievements, let alone such things as corrupting Mo's public money."

"The desires of officials are endless, but the power of the people is limited."

"And the former officials have achieved high political performance. Even if the people's strength is exhausted, the incoming officials will not show mercy to the people's strength. If I rest and recuperate, won't I be advantageous to those who come after me?"

Xu Wei looked at Su Ze and asked, "Governor, is this a knot?"

Su Ze said: "Pan Jixun's method of leveling Lijia in Guangdong is a way."

Xu Wei said: "I've also read the Law of Average Lijia, and it's good for saving the government's public money. It's not enough to cure this stubborn disease."

Su Ze said: "Naturally, it needs to be changed."

"Using the county as a unit, if the county government wants to spend a large amount of public money, it needs to explain to all the district officials in the county where the public money is used and what effect it will have."

"Lizheng will return to the village, explain the use to the people, and listen to the opinions of the people."

"Next, the Yamen will convene a public meeting among these Li Zheng. If most of the Li Zheng are opposed, the public funds will not be spent."

Xu Wei frowned and said: "But ordinary people, how do they know the necessity of some official duties? If this is the case, wouldn't it be true that the officials who take office will achieve nothing? They will be bullied by subordinate officials and district chiefs."

Su Ze said: "Of course, so I am also prepared to give another way. If it is a project that is really related to people's livelihood and military affairs and is costly, we can ask the superiors to allocate money and use special funds to handle it. We can even convert the part of the people's power into money. Dial more."

"What Li Zheng is discussing only has the right to veto, not the right to propose. This just gives the people an opportunity to object."

Su Ze added: "In addition, Daming's assessment and inspection system also needs to be changed, but this has to be done slowly."

"First start the pilot in Nanping County, and if it is effective, it will be extended to the whole territory."

Of course, the most fearful thing about politics is to act too hastily. Seeing that Su Ze is not in a hurry to advance, Xu Wei also heaved a sigh of relief.

Su Ze dropped another son before saying:

"Nanjing is going to be lively."

Su Ze is right, Nanjing is very lively at this time.

Since Zhao Zhenji was promoted to the cabinet, Nanjing official circles have been amazed. Everyone never thought that Mr. Zhao would be promoted so quickly.

After receiving the imperial edict, Zhao Zhenji quickly went north to Beijing, and the atmosphere in Nanjing changed subtly.

First, many officials quietly transferred their families back to their hometown. If their hometown was Zhejiang and Fujian, they would ask the wife to return to her natal family or seek refuge with relatives and friends.

After Zhang Juzheng took charge of the military and civilian affairs of Nanzhili, he found that many more officials came to submit their resignations.

Zhang Juzheng was so angry that he naturally dismissed them all, but many officials in Nanjing fled secretly.

What annoyed Zhang Juzheng even more was Wei Guogong Xu Pengju's living treasure.

Because Xu Pengju, who had been ordered to reflect at home after the Zhenwu Camp mutiny, suddenly sent his family members out of Nanjing City.

But Zhang Juzheng couldn't control Xu Pengju, so he could only write a letter to impeach this guy.

With Xu Pengju as an example, the big and small nobles in Nanjing also followed suit and began to secretly transfer their family properties.

In addition, there was a money shortage in Nanjing.

Zhang Juzheng finally got good news, and it was considered good news. Gao Gong, who had been demoted to the Imperial Academy in Nanjing, finally arrived.

Zhang Juzheng returned to Nanjing from Anqing just to meet Gao Gong.

When Gao Gong saw the Nanjing city in winter, he couldn't help expressing emotion.

Along the way, he saw the corruption in Jiangbei and the barrenness on both sides of the canal, and he had long been numb.

But seeing the city of Nanjing like this, Gao Gong still has a feeling that his life is dying.

"Su Qing!"

Zhang Juzheng pulled Gao Gong into the carriage, and couldn't wait to talk about government affairs.

"Qing Su, there is a money shortage in Nanjing, and the market is bartering. What do you think we should do?"

Gao Gong looked out of the car. In a market at the entrance of the alley, people were exchanging things.

And all the shops along the streets of Nanjing are closed. Under such circumstances, normal transactions are impossible.

Gao Gong asked, "Uncle, why is there a shortage of money in Nanjing?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "First of all, the goods in the Second Mansion of Su and Song Dynasty are too popular, and a lot of copper coins and silver have flowed out."

"In addition, many dignitaries in Nanjing City sold their family properties and exchanged them for silver to leave Nanjing City. These have led to a shortage of money."

Speaking of this, Zhang Juzheng said angrily: "The state affairs are like this. These nobles who are separated from the country actually want to run away. I came to participate in the performance, but the court did not respond at all!"

Gao Gong sighed and said: "The state affairs are like this, uncle should still think about things in Nanjing."

Zhang Juzheng then said: "Forget it, let's not talk about these people. The current plan must stabilize Nanjing's money and food, otherwise the city of Nanjing will collapse without the Soviet thieves attacking."
