Chapter 388 Urban management is in my hands, I have the world

Corruption is a very difficult problem to deal with.

In fact, it is easy to understand why corruption is difficult to cure.In the way of empathy, if you are an official and a relative comes to you for business, what should you do?
Do it in principle?Then you will be spurned and isolated by your relatives and friends, and you will even be labeled as "mean, unkind, indifferent, ruthless, and hypocritical".

In fact, Ran Ming also has a headache about this problem, and there is no good solution.

The only way to deal with it is to follow the example of Emperor Yongzheng, not afraid of your greed, use sticky sticks to find out the evidence, and then ransack the house and decapitate it, and confiscate the property.

Just like cutting leeks, cut a crop as it grows.

Ran Ming thought for a while and said: "I've thought about this issue alone. Local officials, they have no experience in business, and laymen lead experts. This is a taboo in the industry, and they often do bad things with good intentions. So I'm going to write a letter to His Majesty in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Set up a business department under your name, responsible for managing commercial taxation, handling business disputes, formulating business policies, and coordinating business planning!"

In fact, Ran Ming's proposal is a bit of a microcosm of the Ministry of Commerce, the Economic and Trade Commission, and the Development Office of later generations.

After all, business was not valued in ancient times. Taking the Southern Song Dynasty as an example, the Southern Song Dynasty actually had a very prosperous business development. Half of the south of the Yangtze River supported a huge bureaucracy and a large number of troops.

Ran Ming's words and businessmen's questions were recorded by special clerks.Ran Ming went on to say: "If you want to set up a commercial department, you will need tax officials, clerks, assistants, and miscellaneous servants. All of these will cost a lot of money and food, but only in this way can you guarantee your real interests!"

Seeing that no one raised his hand below, Wang Cheng raised his hand for the second time and asked, "Your Highness, what specific powers and responsibilities do you have for listening to the supervisor?"

"The intention to build a political supervisor is actually for you!" Ran Ming explained: "You also know that more than [-]% of the world's officials are from the gentry, and these officials from the gentry will not benefit the country at all. What they are planning is nothing more than the self-interest of the family! There are talented people in the gentry, but more of them are mediocre and incompetent people who rely on the shadow of their ancestors and wait for death. But you are different, your wealth and The status depends on one's own efforts, the feet are not too far away, the hands are not afraid of fatigue, and they have worked hard bit by bit. If you accept it, you will be worthy of the sky!"

"The function of the Menxia Province is to assist His Majesty in governing the country. Because of your different backgrounds, you must have different positions for yourself. The officials of the gentry will definitely not see them oppressing the good and crazily oppressing the people. The same is true. I can’t see the poor people who are forced by them to separate their wives and children, and struggle without food and clothing!” Ran Ming continued: “People are not sages, they all have their own pursuits. I think everyone should have their own goals!”

Ran Ming told everyone present very discreetly that an official has his own private thoughts.

They are all big merchants, and the wealth they possess cannot be used up even if their descendants 1000 years.

Money is just a number in their minds and has no practical significance.Even if wealth becomes meaningless, why leave a sage ancestor for your descendants in order to seek fame?
Ran Ming proposed to use merchants to participate in the state affairs, in fact, he also took a fancy to them.

Businessmen are greedy. Because they have money, they are not very enthusiastic about wealth.It is said that money can make ghosts grind, this is because of people.Can you use money to force Bill Gates and Li Chaoren to change their principles?Even if it could, the price is not something anyone can pay.

Just like Liu Yuan, his wealth is at least hundreds of thousands of gold, which is enough to easily buy tens of thousands of fertile land.

Such a person, can you buy him with money?Even if it can, the price will be very high.

And Zhang Xun, the biggest goal is to enter the soldier gentry class and feel proud.

His wealth is not much less than Liu Yuan's, and because he was appointed an official, he wanted to do a lot.

When merchants turn into officials, their interests change. They also seek profit, but not money and wealth, but fame and fortune!Ran Ming induced them, pleaded for the people, and contended with the gentry when he was in power.

At this time, the strength of the merchants will be weak, but once they grow up, they will compress the influence of the gentry.

Merchants have sufficient resources, and they have their own private schools. Although the teachings are not Confucian high-spirited, they are the most practical mathematics, overall planning, and various technical sciences.Most of these talents do not have a rich background, and they also belong to the poor family. The poor family is opposed to each other. They will unite with the poor family to fight against the gentry.

Ran Ming wants to eliminate Confucianism, but to improve Confucianism, at least to abolish the bad habit of setting up the eldest son and respecting the eldest son.To change their concept of the country and the world.Respect the country, put the country first, and put the country's interests first.

The first hearing will be held in Jiankang, and Ran Ming plans to hold it for seven days. Within these seven days, he will complete the draft of the "Commercial and Taxation Law", as well as the "Intellectual Property Protection Law", "Patent Technology Law", and the framework of the Department of Commerce.The time is very tight, after a short lunch break, Ran Ming started the afternoon proposal.

This proposal was proposed by Wang Cheng, which is the cultivation of business talents.Ran Ming decided to open six new majors in Qiming Academy, including economic management, financial management, marketing, finance, and industrial economics.A total of more than [-] students with basic theoretical knowledge recommended by various merchants will enter Qiming Academy to study.

Then Xu Lu, a merchant from Beihai County, put forward his own proposal.

Xu Lu is a down-and-out gentry in Beihai County, and his ancestor is Xu Gan, one of the seven sons of Jian'an.However, in Xu Lu's generation, even ordinary rich people are inferior, and the Xu family in Beihai is not valued by others.Xu Lu got rich by taking advantage of Ran Ming's east wind.

At the beginning when Ran Ming proposed to eat with less, Xu Lu took the lead in selling his property and making a fishing boat for fishing.When he saw Ran Ming produce a series of canned food, Xu Lu saw the business opportunity, so he sold the fishing boats and fishing gear and used the money when everyone wanted to make money in the sea. Xu Lu took the opportunity to buy a A porcelain kiln on the brink of bankruptcy.Xu Lu was selected into Ran Ming's canned porcelain kiln because of its high quality and low price.

With the massive development of canned food in the past few years, Xu Lu's wealth has also increased at a crazy speed of dozens of times.

Now Xu Lu has seven porcelain kilns under his name, which can produce more than 30 porcelain jars every year.Xu Lu's question was very ordinary, but it made people speechless.

Xu Lu said: "Your Highness, there are many problems in Buqicheng and other business districts, such as occupation of roads, dirty sanitation, and vicious phenomena of unscrupulous traders who bully the market and buy and sell by force!"

Ran Ming's first reaction when he heard this was that he had overlooked something, and now Xu Lu raised it.

Ran Ming just remembered this question. "City management, city management, how can you forget such a powerful city management?"

……

Yecheng, although Huanwen.Murong Ke, Sima Xi and others did not accept Ran Min's invitation and came to Wei Guo to observe the military exercise in person, but they all sent their own representatives.

Xie Ai, who was wandering around Yecheng that day, suddenly saw his entourage running to him with sweat on his face.

"what happened?"

The entourage said: "General, His Majesty the Emperor Wei has sent out an invitation to let the general go to the Xicheng camp to observe the military exercise at the last three quarters of the day (three o'clock in the afternoon)?"

Xie Ai looked at the sky and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's almost three quarters of the day, and the time is coming soon!"

Xie Ai said: "It's a bit inappropriate to go to observe the military exercise in casual clothes now!"

"General, there is a carriage over there. The humble official has already prepared the formal clothes for the general. The general will make up for it and change in the carriage!"

Xie Ai nodded.In the carriage, Xie Ai changed into the white Confucian shirt he was used to.

When Xie Ai went out, he met Murong Kai who was going out.Murong Kai's expression was very helpless at this time, his cousin Murong Ling was arrested and imprisoned, he pleaded for mercy many times, but was not resolved, in desperation, he only had to send someone to summon his father and uncle.

Not long after leaving the city, Xie Ai met the heavily armed Sili Xiaowei Jizhen.

Xie Ai has his own information, he knows that Ji Li is Ran Min's confidant general, and he is well-known in the army.

Not only does he have the post of Lieutenant of Sili on his body, but also the post of General Wei.The entire capital camp is on standby, and he is in command.Like Su Jue, Ji Li was born in Ran Min's family Ding Bing.The three generations of his grandparents and grandchildren were all loyal to the Ran family.

In addition, Ji Wei and Ran Min have a very good personal relationship. Although Ran Min and him do not have the name of master and apprentice, they have the reality of master and apprentice.

His kung fu is the same as Ran Min's, he always takes a vigorous approach, opening and closing, and using strength to defeat ten meetings.

Xie Ai muttered silently: "In terms of force alone, there is no one in the entire Liang Kingdom who can match him."

Historically, Ji Wei was also loyal to Ran Min.

Ma Gu, captain of Changshui School, begged for surrender from the Yan army and opened the city gate.At that time, the troops of the Jiguan headquarters rushed to the palace with the troops. At this time, the palace had been captured by the Yan army, and the prince Ran Zhi and Queen Dong had been captured by the Yan army.

However, there were less than a hundred soldiers around Ji Li, and it was impossible to snatch Prince Ran Zhi and Queen Dong back from the Yan army.In the rebellious army, Ji Wei discovered that Ran Min's youngest son, Ran Yu, was not among the captives.

He rushed into the palace to look for it.When Ran Yu was found, there were only three soldiers around Ji Wei.But Ji Li still led Ran Yu to break out of the encirclement.

"General Xie, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Ji Li warmly greeted Xie Ai.

"There is a general who is a laborer to welcome you. Ai Shou is ashamed!" Xie Ai smiled and said, "Isn't it ten days before the military exercise will start? Today is it?"

In the schedule arranged by the Ministry of Rites of the State of Wei, they will leave Yecheng in seven days and go to Liang County to observe the military exercise, but today they suddenly received the military exercise, which not only made Xie Ai puzzled, but even Ji Wei was at a loss water.

Today in Yuzhong (15 am to 3000 pm) Ji Wei received a word from Ran Min, ordering him to open the [-]th, [-]th, and No. The camp participated in the military exercise.

Although Ji Li didn't understand Ran Min's intentions, he was a very loyal executor.
