Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 475 Who Should Win?

On April 27th in the eighth year of Yuanzhuo, the Bailian sect in Wuning and Xiushui counties, Jiujiang prefecture, Jiangxi Province raised flags and fired cannons, occupying the land of the two counties. More than [-] people participated in the riot. The news spread and the whole country Shocked, furious, and sent troops to suppress, Yuan Zhuo On April [-]th, the Liangjiang Military Region, which received the imperial edict, dispatched a total of more than [-] troops from the Eighth and Ninth Armies, under the command of Lieutenant General Chen Miao, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Liangjiang Military Region At the same time, the Ninth Army stationed in Hubei came from the direction of Jiugong Mountain.

On April 25th of the eighth year of Yuan Zhuo, the second elder brother promoted this chapter, and proposed to promote all the civil technology of the Ministry of Industry to the people, and the above would not publish it; on April 26 of the eighth year of Yuan Zhuo, the eldest elder brother Hongli In this chapter, the system of three government and two houses is proposed to clean up officials and consolidate the foundation of the country, and the superiors will also stay in the middle school; on April 27, the eighth year of Yuanzhuo, the inner court issued a decree: the upper body is slightly ill, and the court will be dismissed on the morning of April 28, and all ministries will continue to be directors as usual .

sick?Yin Zuo is sick, but it's just a heart disease. The name of this disease is "many children, many blessings syndrome". For ordinary families, having more promising children is a wishful thing, but for the imperial family To put it bluntly, it was bad luck. Facing the two beautiful answers, Yinzuo had a headache and thought for several days alone, but he still couldn't decide who should win. It's not that Yinzuo never thought of finding his own Several confidantes and counselors discussed one or two, and it just so happened that Wu, Lin, and Fang Quan were ill, and they didn't even show their faces, but they each wrote a chapter on leave.

What a coincidence, all sick?Still waiting here?Let’s talk nonsense, these three old foxes just don’t want to participate in the battle for succession again. Yinzuo knows it well, and he doesn’t want to force others to make things difficult. I was thinking hard in the garden.

In the excerpts of Hongyang, it is proposed to use the textile industry, food industry, and chemical industry as breakthrough points, make full use of the existing shuttle, steam engine, textile machine technology, and steel industry as the basis, and replace the existing form of small handicraft workshops with intensive scale production , use the principle of assembly line operation to build factories, and carry out overall planning for the industrial chain, so as to realize the start-up of the overall commodity economy in the country. This chapter also mentions that the imperial court funded the construction of roads and bridges relying on the existing iron and steel industry and cement industry. While benefiting the people, it speeds up the pace of commodity circulation.

As for how to start the commodity market, this chapter of Hongyang mentioned three solutions of the Eight Banners Company - first, the auction system: in short, all factories are built by the Eight Banners Company, and then sold to those who want to buy The merchants are responsible for their own profits and losses, and the Eight Banners Company can undertake part of the sales. The advantage of this method is that the factory construction speed is fast, and the huge circulation capacity of the Eight Banners Company is used as a guarantee. It is easy to attract rich people to invest. The disadvantages It is because investors from all over the world are highly dependent on the Eight Banners firm. While the burden on the Eight Banners firm is heavy, it also causes the Baqi firm's status as a giant that no one can shake, which is extremely unfavorable to the future prospects of the commodity market.

Second, the split system: the factory is still built by the Eight Banners firm, but the Eight Banners firm is dismantled into eight pieces by industry or region, and auctioned off to businessmen who want to invest, and the businessmen operate independently and are responsible for their own profits and losses.Its advantage is that the factory can be built quickly, and the existing personnel of the Eight Banners firm can be put into operation and management immediately, thus driving the rapid formation of the national commodity economy. Due to the huge impact, Yinzuo, as the largest shareholder, is naturally the one who suffers the most.

Third, the technology transfer system: Eight Banners will come forward to auction the formed technology, and the highest price will win. When the factory is built, the technical staff of the Ministry of Industry or the Eight Banners will provide technical guidance to investors and help complete the construction of the factory. At the same time, the Eight Banners Company was reorganized, and the Eight Banners Company was positioned as a technology research and development and support center, and the original commercial circulation, factories, mines, etc. were stripped out one by one, or sold or transferred, so as to recover a large amount of cash as research and development expenses. Guarantee the continuation of the strong research and development capabilities of the Eight Banners Company, and use the transfer of new technologies as the main source of profit for the Eight Banners Company.

The reorganization of the Ministry of Industry: Under the existing system of the Ministry of Industry, the status of technical officials is low and there are very few opportunities for promotion. It is suggested that the technical officials of the Ministry of Industry and the secret laboratory system of the Eight Banners Firm be merged into the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry. The imperial government uniformly planned scientific research tasks, some civilian technologies obtained funds from the market according to the technology transfer system, and the development of military technologies completely relied on imperial appropriations to achieve the goal of confidentiality and high efficiency.

Legal system issues: The "First Draft of the Commercial Law" is attached to the handbook of Hongyang, advocating protection and encouragement of inventions, registering inventors' technologies and confirming their ownership; advocating that the tax system of "every hundred and eight" be maintained unchanged , to implement preferential taxation policies for newly opened factories, to establish and improve business management bureaus across the country, to separate the taxation part from the original official system, to set up a special taxation department, and to propose the establishment of a special department to combat collusion between officials and businessmen or It is the behavior of officials wantonly embezzling people's property.

Controversial issues of building a country with business: In the booklets of the promotion, it is proposed to shelve the disputes, or even ignore the theoretical disputes raised by the literati and poets, and first promote various business-friendly policies in place, speak with facts, and explain everything with fait accompli.

In Yin Zuo's view, the booklets promoted are actually very rough, but there are many bright spots. For people of this era, being able to write such things is already considered to be advanced consciousness. According to the names of later generations, they are: Academy of Sciences, Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Taxation Bureau, Patent Office, Anti-Corruption Bureau and other things. Concepts such as regulation are already on the horizon.As for shelving disputes, doing it first and talking later is actually the strategy Yin Zuo had planned in his mind. It is better to speak with facts than to look for allusions through piles of old papers. With the development of the commercial market, the status of businessmen will naturally be improved. There is no need for the court to come forward to rectify the name of the merchant.

Generally speaking, Yinzuo is already very satisfied with Hongyang being able to produce these things, but he is not satisfied enough to immediately judge Hongyang as the winner. The most important thing is that Hongyang's excerpts did not point out the possible threat to the imperial power after the arrival of the commodity society in the future, and how to deal with this threat-in fact, in this regard, only Yin Zuo in the entire Qing Dynasty understood that the future might be What happened, but Yinzuo himself didn't know how to face this threat - Yinzuo made up his mind to push Huaxia to the top of the world, so that the descendants of Huaxia could become the masters of the world, but Yinzuo didn't A sage never has the idea of ​​using himself or his descendants as a sacrifice for social progress. How to achieve a balance is the key. At least so far, Yinzuo has not found this balance.

In the final analysis, Hongli's notes are actually just one sentence-judicial independence, in short, is to separate the judicial power from the governors and other officials, set up specialized agencies all over the country, and use the laws promulgated by the imperial court as the criterion to judge cases. Executive power is separated from judicial power to achieve the purpose of judicial supervision of local officials.The so-called two courts are actually the courts—the courts only try cases, including civil and criminal cases, but do not participate in local government affairs; the Supervisory Yuan—only deals with the tracking and prosecution of criminal cases, and the specific pursuit of suspects is the responsibility of the Ti Xingfu; The Three Governments refer to: Mentoring Office - to separate the responsibility of hunting down suspects from the Ministry of Punishment and the local government, and to establish a special organization, which is the so-called Public Security Bureau system in later generations; The system is integrated, and "Honghu" is incorporated into it to supervise officials at all levels. The government only has the right to investigate and interrogate, but not to judge; Dynamics, in addition to providing the court with the basis for legislation and edicts, is also responsible for cracking down on cult organizations like the White Lotus Sect, and is also responsible for national security, similar to the integration of the National Security Bureau and the Intelligence Bureau in later generations.

Yinzuo is also very satisfied with Hongli's excerpts. Although there are still many places in Hongli's excerpts that are very vague and there are many things to be discussed, at least the system of three governments and two houses is not too big in general. The loophole, of course, is not easy to realize. It is not only a matter of the determination of the court, but also involves a major change in the entire court and even the local government. Don't even try to come up with a name in three to five years. If it is really to be fully realized, it will take more than ten or even twenty years to perfect it.

It's been five days, and Yinzuo has spent five days polishing and revising the two papers. Combining his knowledge system in his previous life and his experience in politics over the years, he has sorted out two sets of implementation guidelines that seem to be good. There may still be many loopholes and deficiencies in it, but generally speaking, these two programmatic things already have practical value, but one problem has always troubled Yinzuo-who should win?
Yinzuo painstakingly worked out these two problems in order to determine who is the most suitable candidate to inherit the great position, but he didn't expect that now Yinzuo himself is a little embarrassed-he really can't rely on these two problems in front of him. After thinking and thinking over and over again, Yinzuo's head hurts and he doesn't understand how to solve this problem, but anyway, things have to be done, right?You can't keep these two important documents in your hands, but Yin Zuo can only announce all the ministers of military affairs to Yanbo Zhishuang Pavilion.

"After reading it all, how can I proceed with these two matters?" Yin Zuo waited silently for the ministers of military aircraft to finish reading the scriptures, and then asked seemingly casually.

This is a big matter, not only related to the great changes in the court, but also related to the struggle for the successor. All the ministers are sophisticated people, and they have long understood the key points. Although they were shocked by these two documents It's light, but no one is willing to talk about it at this time. The big guys all stand with their heads bowed, just not saying a word.

Yinzuo was already annoyed in his heart, but now seeing all the military planes pretending to be dumb, he suddenly became angry, glanced at all the ministers, and said coldly: "What? Are you all dumb? Ma Qi, you go first. "

Ma Qi has been a senior minister for many years, and all ministers of the imperial court have taken turns. He is familiar with the affairs of the court. It's just that there is an order from the sage, so he didn't dare not to answer, so he had no choice but to ponder for a while and replied: "To the sage, I think these two strategies are the best ones, but there is a question of priority. I think the promotion of technology can be done first. As for..." Ma Qi paused, and said hesitantly: "As for the matter of the three houses and two courts that involves too much, if one moves together, I'm afraid the government and the public will be uneasy. This minister's foolishness, I hope the Holy One will learn from him."

"Hmm." Yinzuo nodded noncommittally, squinted at Zhang Tingyu and said, "Hengchen, you have always been cautious in doing things, what do you think about this two-fold?"

Zhang Tingyu gritted his teeth, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the way of a sage lies in educating the people. The world does not suffer from the few but from the unevenness. If you put more emphasis on business than agriculture, you are afraid of catastrophe. I dare not agree with Master Ma's idea." I think that the policy of promoting technology must be slowed down, but it is important for the officials to be clear and bright. However, if you act according to the policy offered by the elder brother, the court will change too much. The recipe is good."

"Your Majesty, what Master Zhang said is very true, and I also think that it is better to slow down the second policy." Li Zhenyu, Minister of Military Aircraft and Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, also knelt on the ground, admonishing loudly.

"Think twice, Your Majesty." Li Guangdi also stood up to support Zhang Tingyu.

Fan Shijie peeked at Yin Zuo's face that was getting darker and darker, and then at Ma Qi who was standing calmly by the side, hesitated for a moment, stood up anyway, and said loudly: "My lord, I think the promotion of technology It might as well try it out in one province first, and if it is correct, it will be time to promote it, as for the ministers of the three governments and two houses, they think it is better to sort out the regulations first, and promote the technology in parallel."
