Chapter 200 Stimulate the economy and prepare for disaster relief

After completing the occupation of the entire South.

The first time it started, the inventory of the population in the southern fields.

Copy all the policies in the north to the north. Due to the manpower problem of the school's disciples,

In order to complete the investigation work in the south as soon as possible, a large number of down-and-out scholars were recruited to participate in the investigation. Disciples of the school were in charge of supervision, mixing them with officials from all over the country, and promised that they would be treated as ninth-rank officials if they performed well.

As for the disciples of all schools, the outer disciples were awarded the eighth-rank officials, the inner disciples were awarded the seventh-rank officials, and the direct disciples were awarded the fourth-rank officials.

According to the expression school disciples will continue to improve their grades.

The southern dignitaries and clans who participated in the resistance were all exiled outside the side wall, and most of them were exiled to the Kashgar and Yeerjiang areas of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. The original Tartars had been wiped out.

After completing the national population and land inventory.

In order to encourage the people to pay taxes, but also to combat the royal authority.

As long as the tax payment reaches 100 taels, he will be awarded the sixth-rank Cheng Zhilang.

If the annual tax payment reaches 1000 taels, you will be awarded the fifth rank of the Wen San rank.

If the annual tax payment reaches 1 taels, he will be awarded the fourth-rank doctor Zhongshun, and he can also get the flying fish suit as a reward from the royal family.

If the annual tax payment reaches 10, the two will be awarded the third-rank Jiayi doctor, and you can also get a python robe from the royal family. You can also visit the palace and ride a horse in the palace.

In order to encourage the economy, the cabinet first released the monopoly of salt and iron.

With the support of the Northwest Salt Lake, table salt was continuously transported to various parts of the Central Plains by railway, and all the salt farms managed by the imperial court were sold to merchants.

For the original Yangzhou salt merchants, they were required to pay back taxes, [-] million taels of silver, shared by all salt merchants, and those who could not pay would be ransacked and exiled.

All the government-run iron factories of the imperial court were also privatized, and Taiping took the lead in contributing capital, which was handed over to merchants for mergers.

And the craftsman household system was abolished, allowing the craftsmen under the Ministry of Industry and the inner court to make their own way.

Encourage these craftsmen to set up workshops, directly delineate development zones in Tianjin and Beijing, and coordinate the four major workshops, and hand over orders for parts with simple craftsmanship to the workshops run by these craftsmen for production. The four major workshops only need to undergo inspection and acceptance Just assemble.

The shipbuilding industry continues to adopt supportive policies. While exempting taxes, it also subsidizes the timber used in shipbuilding. Taiping even provides interest-free loans to those who are willing to open shipyards.

It even placed a purchase order for 50 ocean-going sailboats, which combine the advantages of Fuchuan and Guangzhou Shipyard. The total length is nearly 10 meters, the width is about 5 meters, the depth is 750 meters, and the load is [-] tons.

Using steel ribs, it is divided into fifteen watertight compartments, with three masts, the main mast is 27 meters high, the head and tail masts are 23 meters high and 15 meters high respectively; the main sail weighs 9 tons, and the suspended tail rudder only needs [-] Only one crew member can go to sea.

In order to complete the construction of [-] ocean-going ships within three years, the Shipbuilding Bureau was established, and a personal disciple was appointed as the director of the bureau to coordinate all parties.

Five foreign trade ports in Dengzhou, Haizhou, Shanghai, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou will be opened, and the cabinet will send officials, that is, disciples of the school, to set up a city ship department to manage port taxation.

In the future, the foreign trade of Ming Dynasty will adopt a quota system. Only after the corresponding grain is transported to Daming, can the corresponding quotas for tea, porcelain, silk and other commodities be obtained.

Daming maritime merchants are also subject to this restriction. After the goods are shipped out, they must ship back the corresponding quota of grain before they can go to sea here.

Grain needs to be transported to Dengzhou and Haizhou. Taiping’s grain store will buy it at a fair price, and then use Taiping’s purchase certificate to go to various ports to exchange for the desired goods.

After entering the first year of Yongli, which is the seventh year of the apocalypse in the previous life.

There is only one head servant in the entire cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, and the other six major officials are also vacant. Zhang Zongxian deliberately made this happen. After all, the disciples are still young, and there is no one who can be trusted.

Let the disciples who performed well, and the officials left by the original six departments, run together.

The original Ministry of War has been taken over by the Legislative Army system.

The Ministry of Rites was turned into a useless office by Zhang Zongxian's simple words.

The Ministry of Accounting has become an auditing department. The original treasury has been handed over to Taiping to manage various warehouses. The Ministry of Accounting is currently responsible for auditing Taiping's tax accounts and appropriating funds to various places.

Because of the school's manpower problem, the Ministry of Punishment is still managed by the original bureaucrats, but a review department composed of disciples of the school has been established to review the cases heard by the Ministry of Punishment.

Master Ma and Zhao's staff were also assigned to be the heads of the Criminal Department. In the future, the post of the Criminal Department will be rewarded to the old bureaucrats who have taken refuge in Zhang Zongxian.

The power of the bureaucracy was fully restricted, and its power was controlled by the cabinet. For the old bureaucrats, Zhang Zongxian adopted a gradual replacement method, first to win over the officials, and to give the elite among them the opportunity to be promoted.

Then use the disciples of the school to unite with these officials to empty the yamen in various places. The evaluation and promotion only depends on the execution ability, whether the tasks assigned by the cabinet are carried out in place.

All officials from the Ministry of Industry were sent to the Yellow River and Huaihe River Basins to prepare for the project to control the Huaihe River and the Yellow River that will start next year.

Zhang Zongxian plans to organize the people along the Yellow River and Huaihe River to re-dig the Yellow River and Huaihe River during the severe drought in the next three years.

Reorganize the direction of the two rivers, completely solve the problem of the suspended river above the ground, abandon the original river course, empty the Hongze Lake and Gaoyou Lake, and solve the problem of the Yellow River taking the Huaihe River into the sea.

Completely solve the flood problem of the two big rivers. Anyway, three years of continuous severe drought, resulting in no harvest of grains.

On the basis of the original six departments, the Ministry of Communications was established to coordinate and plan the national transportation construction, especially the construction of four vertical and four horizontal railway networks.
The Ministry is completely controlled by the Legislative School, and the disciples of the School serve as ministers, and promote the construction of the railway network together with the railway associations in various places.

In February of the first year of Yongli, Zhang Zongxian excused that the new emperor was young, and all imperial examinations at all levels in Ming Dynasty were completely suspended.

The enrollment of the Legislative School is carried out quietly. This time, the students of the school assigned to various places will select the children of poor families while checking the acres.

Correspondingly, a group of bureaucratic children who have joined the legislative school will be accepted. The enrollment plan will recruit 20 people, but most of these disciples will only stop at outer disciples in the future.

Only the best part of the people will become inner disciples. After a year of comprehensive study, these newly recruited disciples will be sent to various places to assist in disaster relief.

After the baptism of disaster relief, these disciples will be the main force of the Legislative School's yamen in various places.

At the same time, the Legislative Army will also arrange for soldiers who have served for more than three years to be discharged one after another. After returning to their hometowns, these soldiers will become Li Zheng, receive subsidies from the cabinet, and assist local yamen in managing places.

The renewal of all bureaucratic systems is expected to be completed within six years.
