The fourth day of the coup

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiong Yan was talking, Confucius, Zilu, and Zigong were listening.

"In the capital, there are mixed together, and we don't have enough time and energy to judge who is a spy and who colludes with the thief. So, what we have to do now is to use the shortest time to determine who is our friend and who is our enemy."

"For ordinary people, we can hire them by giving money by giving them work. Then we give them houses, and they should give them uniform clothes and uniform shoes."

"Although the capital of the Ming Dynasty did not deliberately engage in real estate to generate income, there were still relatively few ordinary people who could buy a property in the capital. The vast majority of people lived in the capital or lived near the capital. They had no houses in the city."

"We give them houses and live for free. If we are not spies, if we have no ghosts in our hearts, we will definitely accept our employment and live in the house we allocated to them."

"But we don't have a house?" Zilu said directly.

Where did you get the house? You don’t have money either!

In the past, many of the Neo-Confucian classmates did not have a house to live in, and housing was difficult, and it was also a long-term disaster in the capital in the past.

"It must be the house of the noble and civil servant!" Zigong expressed his thoughts.

Xiong Yan nodded affirmatively to him: "Tomorrow, at most, the next day, a large number of nobles and senior civil servants will take their families and some of their property to hunt south with the prince."

"However, the boat tickets are limited, and the tributes that everyone can carry are limited. After they leave, their big houses, their manors, and all their properties inside and outside the city can be temporarily taken over to the court and renovated."

"In addition, the wealth they left behind and the land they left were hidden in the cellar. Wealth that they could not take away could also be expropriated by the court. Everything was to resist Li Chuang and everything was to protect the Ming Dynasty. True loyal ministers and generals would not care too much about this moment when the country was in trouble."

At least, they will never openly resist before they board the big ship to Nanjing. This means there is a choice and room for space.

Who wants to die if you can live?

Looking at Zilu's dazed expression, Xiong Yan took out a stack of very exquisite paper from his arms, which were colorful and beautiful.

"This is the national debt I designed last night! There is a seal from Confucius, a seal from His Majesty, and a seal from the Prince. The minimum denomination is 10,000 taels per piece. Each national debt is in four copies, one from Confucius, one from His Majesty, one from the Prince, and one from the purchaser."

"The so-called national debt is a means of raising funds issued by the Ming Dynasty court and credit as a guarantee. For example, the British Duke's Mansion was about to protect the prince to Nanjing, but at least 10 million taels of wealth remained in the mansion. He could not take these wealth away because the ship was limited and the transportation volume was limited."

"If he can't take it away, the court can give him NTDs worth tens of millions of taels. These NTDs are generally divided into four types: ten-year, twenty-year, and fifty-year!"

"Take the treasury bond in my hand as an example. This is a ten-year treasury bond worth 10,000 taels. We took 10,000 taels of silver from the Duke of England and gave them such a treasury bond. Ten years later, they can use this treasury bond to ask the court at that time for money!"

"Of course, the British Duke is willing to support the court with money, and the court cannot let the British Duke pay for it for nothing. Therefore, ten years later, the court will give the British Duke 12,000 taels of silver. The extra two thousand taels is the reward the court gave to the loyal ministers."

"The profit of the twenty-year government bond is even higher. Today's 10,000 taels will be given directly to 17,000 taels! The twenty-year government bond is given today's 10,000 taels, and fifty-year government bond is given today's 50,000 taels!"

"This... isn't this a free job? Isn't this a robbery? Is this a good thing? With this national debt, we don't just rob the money, but the reasonable distribution and reasonable coordination of gold and silver are really good!" Zilu was really happy.

Not only him, but even Zigong breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to save the people of Ming Dynasty, they had to launch a coup, and they could even force themselves to convince themselves. But for the sake of Ming Dynasty, it would be inappropriate to directly grab money like Wang Xu.

If Confucius did this, then what is the difference between the new Confucian Confucians and the old Confucians? Are they both benevolence, righteousness and morality in their mouths, and full of righteousness in their mouths, but are they actually all gold, silver and treasures? If this continues, sooner or later, there will be no difference between the new Confucians and the old Confucians.

No, every time I encounter something unkind and unrighteous, I say: I am all for the people of the world!

If you keep going like this, what is the difference between you and someone who keeps saying: Everything is for Konoha's pot king?

"With this national debt, we can easily distinguish the loyalty and treason of rich people! If they are loyal ministers, they will definitely not care about so much when the country is in trouble. What's more, the court is not not paying money, and then they will pay the national debt at a rate of 100% or twice the actual value."

"And if you are still petty and unwilling to buy national debts at this time, you will be suspected of being a treacherous minister and a spy. At this critical moment, you would rather kill the wrong person than let go. You will arrest them first for labor reform, and then review them carefully after the war. If you are really not a spy, you will release them and return their property."

Xiong Yankou was a little dry, and after drinking a sip of tea, he concluded: "Distribute national debts to nobles, civil servants, and wealthy merchants, requisition their wealth, flatten their manors, and transform the fortress of the capital. It is possible to do whatever it is beneficial to defense. In addition, it is possible to build a civilian residence designed by fellow Daoist Modi in Guanzhong."

The so-called civilian residences are actually three-story brick buildings and earthen buildings built with red bricks and blue bricks. A small pumping well is built near each residence. There are also public toilets between the brick buildings and brick buildings, and public bathrooms are also built in each certain number of brick buildings.

Such civilian residences are everywhere in Guanzhong.

There are about thirty to fifty households living in a brick building. A building manager is responsible for daily trivial matters, responsible for conveying Mozi's ideas, and telling relevant government orders.

It was through these inconspicuous building managers that Mozi firmly grasped the people of Guanzhong. Almost every household was within Mozi's management!

"With civilian residences, ordinary people are considered to be divided into two categories. Those who are willing to work for us and those who are unwilling to work for us. The former is his own people, while the latter can be expelled directly."

"Even those spies with bad intentions are difficult to make a difference after entering the Tulou. Their neighbors, both behind, behind, behind, and behind, and on, are all strangers, may be staring at him quietly, and it is easy to be exposed."

"In this way, the people can be dispersed. In a earthen building, people from the same clan are not allowed to live together. The clans will slowly disappear and a new sense of identity will be established. Only in this way can they be completely transformed and they can truly become people of the Ming Dynasty, not slaves of the clan."

After thinking about it, Xiong Yan added: "The world has truly entered a great battle today. Guanzhong and Shu are owned by fellow Taoist Modi; overseas, Fuzhou and Quanzhou are owned by fellow Taoist Wang Xu; the vast areas in the south are owned by the prince; whether you can win the final victory in this competition depends on whether you can make good use of this opportunity to turn the people in the capital and even the entire northern part of the country into Chinese people!"
