golden scales

Chongzhen only saw the fact that Yizhan Chuanshe had lost money in the past 3000 years, but he could not imagine the glory of the economic chain hotel in the future.With the improvement of road conditions, the birth of new means of transportation, and the people's yearning for mobility, a loss for 50 years will be earned back in multiples in the future.

"It's good for you to have such a public heart," Chongzhen nodded, "You will know the hardships of being in charge in the future. What's next, what else?"

Zhu Cilang smiled, and continued: "The next thing is the big head of the household department."

The household department has been the majority since the establishment of three provinces and six departments in the Sui Dynasty.Not only the weight of authority, the number of people is more.Today, under the Ministry of Household Affairs of the country, there are thirteen divisions named after each province.In addition, there are also functions such as the photo mill, the Guangji warehouse, the internal and external transportation warehouses, and the military storage warehouse, so it is divided into four departments: civilian, degree, gold, and warehouse.

The Ministry of Household Affairs also manages minority affairs, especially in taxation, the tea trade, and marriage population.As one of the important national policies of the Ming Dynasty to control Qinghai-Tibet, the tea-horse trade was also an important task managed by the Ministry of Household Affairs.In order to prohibit private sales of tea, the imperial court appointed a tea censor, and also set up a tea horse department, a tea department department, and an inspection office.The tea and horse divisions dispatched by the household department were stationed in Xining, Hezhou, Taozhou, Ganzhou (these three places are in present-day Gansu), Yazhou (present-day Ya'an, Sichuan) and other places, all of which were under the management of the household department.

The rewards and tributes between the imperial court and foreign nationalities are also handled by the Ministry of Households in conjunction with the Ministry of Rites.

Such a department is managed by one person, and it is inevitable that the energy will be exhausted.In particular, very few people have the generalist who manages the overall situation, and it is impossible to be proficient in both finance and civil affairs.

After Zhu Cihong roughly summarized the functions of the household department, he concluded: "Guerchen wants to divide the functions of the household department into five."

"The first is the household registration statistics of the people, which is in charge of the formulation of the national yellow book, to caress the people, and to cover the people, so that men have a share, women have a return, and widows, widows, and loneliness are all supported."

This is the Confucian expectation for a world of great harmony, and it is also the social security system implemented by the Ming Dynasty.Chongzhen was naturally satisfied after hearing this.Linking the jaws.

"The second is land and land administration, governing the world's fish scale books, supervising the treasury and granary cashiers. He is the ancient official who governs millet and manages agriculture. My son thinks that it can be established as a Sinong temple."

"In the future, we can no longer use the nickname of Dasinong, the household secretary." Chongzhen smiled knowingly, with a taste of a successful prank, which made Zhu Cihong subconsciously feel that this young man lacked seriousness.

"The General Administration of Municipal Shipbuilding is responsible for the taxation of the maritime trade of the shipping departments of various provinces and cities, which can also be regarded as divided from the Ministry of Households. There is also a General Administration of State Taxation to collect the national agricultural, industrial and commercial taxes; and a General Administration of Industry and Commerce. Formulate the book .Any family with more than one hundred taels of sales must be registered and prepared to pay industrial and commercial tax."

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking in one breath, Chongzhen fell into deep thought, and finally said after a long time: "I know that the crown prince wants to cheer up. All parties use money, but in this way, isn't it competing for profit with the people? The car in front of the temple, It must be learned."

Emperor Shenzong Wanli has been firmly nailed in the ranks of the faint king, as if when he was ruling the country, the people were suffering and starving everywhere.In fact, however, he fought three major battles that could affect the fate of the empire-whether he realized it or not.It can be said,

Without Shenzong, there would be no North Korea, and Japan had a springboard to the mainland in the hands of Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

If there is no Shenzong, the rebellion in Ningxia is bound to be out of control.There will never be a peaceful day in the northwest frontier, or even an independent country.

If there is no Shenzong, the chaos in Bozhou will only continue to expand. Not only Sichuan and Guizhou will not be guaranteed, but even Yunnan and Guangxi may be separated from the territory.

These three battles are all about national strength.It is the result of the joint efforts of the Beijing camp and the frontier army.It is said that Shenzong's wealth collection is included in the internal funds, but people have overlooked one point: as long as the Beijing camp is dispatched, the military salary will definitely be paid from the internal funds.Shenzong is indeed not generous, but this is regulated by his ancestors, he has not been stingy to the point of ignoring the laws of his ancestors.

All the money spent in the country is real gold and silver, and there are no gold mines under the Forbidden City. Where did the money come from?

Of course, only tax supervisors and mine supervisors are sent around to collect taxes.

When Emperor Taizu Gao established the country, he set the national tax and mining tax extremely low, so low that the taxes collected by later emperors were not enough to offset the cost.If the money spent on sending people to collect taxes is actually lower than the tax revenue, then the only option is to close the state-owned mines and iron factories.Everyone in the world knows that mining is the way to get rich, so these minerals were transferred from public to private, and the privatization process of Ming Dynasty began.

This process was basically completed during the Wanli period.

In other words, all of Daming's valuables have been divided up.

Emperor Wanli's idea is also very simple: if the things are taken by you, I will be fine, but you have to pay taxes, right?Looking for civil servants to collect taxes?

That is impossible.

Li Sancai, a well-mannered governor of water transport, wrote a memorial specifically on the emperor's struggle with the people for profit and the exploitation of the people's fat and anointing.When Hai Rui scolded Emperor Jiajing back then, he still covered it up; but this memorial by Li Sancai is almost pointing his nose and scolding the street.

Of course, Li Sancai did have a breeze in his sleeves. As a tycoon of Donglin, he was called the "Tuota King" in the eunuch "Donglin Dianjianglu", and his assets under his name were only 470 million taels.

What is the concept of 470 million taels?

It is the total financial revenue of the Tianqi Dynasty for one year. Before Chongzhen did not increase the distribution, even 400 million taels might not be able to be collected every year.And even if Wei Zhongxian raised money for Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi's internal funds never exceeded 70 taels.Emperor Chongzhen still had a few 10 taels of domestic money available in the early days of his accession to the throne, but after Yang Sichang's "Ten Faces Spread the Net", the poorest time was only 7 taels, and even the gold and silverware in the palace were exchanged for money for payment.

How much?not much!

This kind of thing is not a secret known to later generations. At that time, it was already known that Li Sancai "cannot be honest".It was only Li San who withstood the taxation and mine supervision, and made a lot of big businessmen, and someone made him famous.He also had an inseparable relationship with the three giants of Donglin, and his political opponents were all included in the list of "eunuchs", so he naturally became a world-famous great sage.

It was hard for Zhu Cihong to imagine what he would do when he met someone like Li Sancai. I am afraid that it would be hard to solve the hatred in his heart to prevent him from being ruined and ruined.From this point of view, Emperor Shenzong was a little cowardly, and would only deal with problems with cold violence that he avoided.

"The emperor's words are true, so I plan to use civil officials to collect taxes." Zhu Cihong knew very well what kind of reaction he would have if he excluded the tax supervisor.Today's big merchants are even worse than those in Wanli, especially after Shanxi merchants were contained, Anhui merchants in Lianghuainanzhi and Zhejiang merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have lost a natural enemy, and they are bound to become more powerful.

In terms of supporting political spokespersons, Huizhou-Zhejiang businessmen are even more handy, and there is a fairly successful precedent of the "Donglin Party".

"This matter is difficult." Chongzhen shook his head and sighed: "My son is still young, I don't know how to judge people's wealth and murder parents are sworn vendettas. Moreover, among the civil servants, there are bright alliances and dark parties. " Chongzhen thought of Qian Qianyi's case, but in the end it was settled, only a few small officials were punished, and everyone knew that they were the abandoned sons of the people who played games behind the scenes.

"It's easy for me." Zhu Cihong smiled and continued: "As for the national finance, it would be a bit ugly to talk about the Ministry of Finance and the Department of Finance. It is still under the name of the Ministry of Households. As for the task of raising the people, a separate department will be established. The Ministry of Civil Affairs is called the Ministry of Civil Affairs. What does the emperor think?"

"Well, Emperor Taizong of Tang used to call it the Ministry of Civil Affairs, which is very appropriate."

Chongzhen responded in vain, still worried about the crown prince's political reform.He has lived in poverty and knows how hard it is to ask people for money.The key is not only hard work, but also no money.As for asking the civil servants to collect the money, it is even more whimsical, unless the son can find a second Hai Rui.

Because of this worry, Chongzhen was a little careless about the reform of the Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Punishment, and Ministry of Officials.Moreover, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials have not changed much, but the Ministry of Punishment is no longer in charge of adjudicating cases, and is responsible for unifying police stations and prisons across the country.

At the central level, the function of judicial adjudication is the Dali Temple. At the local level, it is also separated from the Judiciary of the Procuratorate, Xing Dali Temple is established in each province, and judges and courts are established at the prefectural and county levels.

The blueprint of the entire reform is grand and complex, like the parts in a Taixi clock, each of which is indispensable, and if there is a slight carelessness, the whole thing will collapse.Such a huge project may not be successful even if no one disturbs it, and because it involves "unsworn hatred", there are bound to be people, many people, and many people with financial resources and power who will come out to resist.

Chongzhen looked at Wen Ruo's son with a determined expression on his face, and shivered, remembering that the eldest son led troops into the palace that day, and took them all to Shandong in just a few days.I had been planning to move south for several years, but my son completed it without making a fuss... Maybe this is the courage of the emperor.

Chongzhen remembered that Emperor Tianqi held his hand and said to him: "My younger brother should be Yao and Shun."

"My son should be Emperor Qin and Han Wu." Chongzhen blurted out suddenly.

"Okay." Zhu Cihong, who was already in deep thought, replied casually.

……

On April 19, [-], the city defense of Beijing was officially handed over to the Inspection Department of Shuntian Prefecture. Public security was assigned to the Police Department of Shuntian Prefecture, city appearance and environmental sanitation was assigned to Shuntian Prefecture, and fire safety was also temporarily managed by the Inspection Department.As a result, the original Wucheng Bingma Division was dismembered into several pieces, and once again withdrew from the stage of history.

Of course, if there is no accident, it will not "reset" again.

The First Guards Division regained Jizhen, and the whole army marched into the four towns of Yongping, pretending to attack Shanhaiguan, preventing the two red flags of the Qing army from rushing to Ningyuan to support the two white flags.

The Third Guards Division defeated the enemy at Juyongguan, marched eastward all the way, recovered all the valleys of the Great Wall, and fought straight to Miyun.

As a result, the capital was completely settled down, and the third division of the guards protected the periphery of the capital.According to the plan, the first division was to conquer Shanhaiguan, and then flanked the two white flags of Donglu with the second division.

Zhu Cihong is currently worried about the war, and only the Second Guards Division is behind the enemy lines.If the Eastern Captives were to use all their power to fight back from Jinzhou, the Second Division would have to suffer heavy casualties if they wanted to defend Ningyuan.But before that, it is important to step up the reform of the national system and expand the mobilization capacity. This is the fundamental method.
