Due to unbelievable accidents and historical opportunities, Zhu Yongxing was pushed to the top of the pyramid of power. Let him sit on the top of the tower and overlook all directions. Is this a kind of enjoyment or a kind of torture?
For Zhu Yongxing, who has to shoulder the great responsibility of changing the world, this will certainly give people the pleasure of controlling huge power, but it will also give people the fear of facing an abyss. ≤The resurgence of every dynasty in history was precisely because of reform.
If it is reborn, it will perish if it does not reform.
It is called Zhongxing, but it actually means rebuilding. The Ming Dynasty, which has been hard to return to, has been cleaned up in the bloody storm. People who have experienced this tragedy, whether they are officials or ordinary people, have become aware of it. Zhu Yongxing's illustrious achievements and feudal tradition endowed him with
Its supreme authority enables its reforms to be launched and implemented more smoothly.
What's more important is that the Ming Dynasty has not yet formed a huge interest group, or that interest groups that may hinder reform have not yet formed. Therefore, as a reformer under a totalitarian system, Zhu Yongxing's talents can make a difference.
The grand ideal of a historical giant.
Yes, this is Zhu Yongxing's positioning of himself as a talent among others. In addition to his vision across the times, he believes that he cannot be compared with those historical sages. Of course, when it comes to money-making ideas, Zhu Yongxing still has more ideas than others.
, broader and more unexpected.
Just a few days after Zhu Yongxing left for the north, starting from Nanjing, the government introduced new tax regulations and management methods, targeting the entertainment industry. Yes, the golden land of the Six Dynasties was all about squeezing money from prostitutes and prostitutes.
In Zhu Yongxing's view, the problem of prostitutes cannot be solved by legal restraint. Because the prostitute industry has a long history. In today's society, although the political and economic forms of different countries are different, prostitutes are basically ubiquitous. The sex industry
The emergence of it is due to the combined efforts of various interests in society and cannot be easily restrained by morality or law.
Since it already exists legally, the tax burden will be increased. It will not only restrict this industry, but also increase revenue for the national treasury. At the same time, the management measures include various regulatory measures for entertainment venues, from issuing business licenses to establishing prostitute registration.
system, and has intensified the crackdown on criminal acts such as forcing girls into prostitution. There are also clear regulations on prostitutes' compliance with the law to help weak women who are willing to escape from the land of turmoil and fireworks. Standardize management, do not prohibit, do not promote, do not encourage,
This is the policy adopted by the government.
Starting from Nanjing, Hangzhou, Yangzhou and other places also began to implement the new policy, first in key cities, then in the entire region, and finally in the whole country. Although this is not a major event related to international people's livelihood, the government's steady pace remains the same.
There is no increase or decrease in fireworks tax in the short term, but with the relocation of the capital, land prices in the Jifu area have risen to a higher level. Especially in Beijing and Tianjin, land prices and housing prices have increased rapidly. This makes the first phase of shops
The auction was very successful. It made a lot of profit. More than two million taels of silver were saved, which immediately eased the finances. Then, led by the local government, various places began to auction off the production one after another. Among them, Zhangjiakou, Datong, and Lanzhou
The newly opened border markets are the most popular. Big cities such as Taiyuan, Xi'an, Kaifeng, Baoding, and Jinan are located on transportation thoroughfares, and their prices are second.
One emperor and one courtier. I am not talking about all officials, but also other people in the interest group. Those who have served as officials in the Manchu Qing Dynasty bear the brunt of the punishment. Those who have not rebelled, surrendered and other meritorious services will be punished with the crime of "rebellion"
, the family property was confiscated. The first offender was imprisoned, and the family was exiled to the Mek River to reclaim wasteland; the scope of the attack continued to expand, and those northern gentry and merchants who supported the Qing Dynasty and attached themselves to the Qing Dynasty, especially Shanxi merchants, came to replace them.
They are the various emerging business groups in the south, as well as the surviving landowners and merchants in the north.
The shrewdness of businessmen and their pursuit of profit are very obvious in the change of old and new regimes. The political and military focus has turned to the north, so economic adjustment is also imperative. And border trade has always been an extremely profitable industry.
, cheap porcelain, silk, cotton, ironware, tea, etc. from the mainland are exchanged for cattle, horses and other livestock in the border market, and once they are resold, they can make huge profits.
The collapse of the Shanxi Merchant Group, which originally controlled foreign trade, created a good opportunity for emerging business groups to take its place. Although the government has made macro-adjustments to the types and quantities of goods sold in border markets, without corrupt officials and generals
The exploitation is still attracting people.
From sea trade to land, the maritime business group headed by the Zheng family relied on the merits of Conglong and the good relationship formed with the government through several purchases of national debt to expand in the North. Whether it was shop auctions or border markets,
The bids for business licenses have shown strong financial resources and aggressive momentum.
On the other hand, the old merchants in the south are still fighting on their own. Only when they are weak and weak do they realize the importance of joining forces, but they have already lost a lot of opportunities.
…………..
"Don't sell these houses yet, make a new one according to the size and scale." Zhu Yongxing crossed out some names in the second phase of the auction list. The new dynasty was established, and the rewards for the meritorious ministers have not yet been implemented. These in Beijing
Leave the house to them!
"If Tianjin wants to expand, whoever invests will benefit. Based on this principle, specific measures will be drawn up." Tianjin is already a certain thing as the most important commercial port in the north. If the government cannot come up with the money, then it will raise funds from the private sector, and then use land and
Let’s roof the house!
"Tell the Ministry of Household Affairs to do some calculations and give the Ministry of Water Resources some money. Zha Rulong complained to me again."
"The payment of military pay in the Guangzhou Military Region has been suspended. The war is about to begin. Tell them to defeat Annan and get double the pay from the capture as a reward."
"I have made the decision to send troops to the Rehe Shangying (now Chengde City). I asked the Beijing Military Region to step up its action and tell Burney that a border market will be opened there. Doesn't he think that Datong and Zhangjiakou are far away and inconvenient?"
"Tell the governors of Gansu and Shaanxi that if there is a surplus in the local finances of these two provinces within three years, they will not need to be transferred to the capital, but will be transferred directly to the Northwest Military Region."
"Thirty percent of the revenue from Lanzhou's border market is set aside as a special fund for hoarding grain and grass supplies in the northwest. Well, if Dongshengwei (now Ordos) recovers and opens a border market again, this will be the case."
The officials of the Prime Minister's Office recorded Zhu Yongxing's instructions one by one, transcribed them into edicts, or wrote them into documents for various ministries. Seeing that Zhu Yongxing did not give any more instructions, they bowed out of the room.
Zhu Yongxing opened the wooden box on the case and began to reply to the secret messages to his ministers one by one. The first one was for Wang Pixiong of Qianyang.
The current war in Liaodong is at a stalemate. The Qing army dug four trenches at Shuangtai, Liangtun, and Wolongquan in the south and east of Gaizhou City. They stationed troops and stood firm. The two sides were fighting constantly, and no one could do anything about the other for the time being. But judging from the battle report,
The Ming army still had a slight upper hand by virtue of its firepower advantage. Of course, this was related to the plan formulated by the General Staff and the purpose set by Zhu Yongxing. The Ming army did not try its best.
For such a war situation, the generals of the Northeast Military Region were a little anxious, and either sent more troops to fight; or Ningyuan's Dang Shuo army went north to Jinzhou to increase containment; or they allowed them to put all the reserves and North Korean recruits on the battlefield. , in order to win in one fell swoop.
Zhu Yongxing did not agree with this. From a local perspective, it was a stalemate, but from the perspective of the entire Liaodong war situation, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had become increasingly passive. As long as the current situation was maintained, the collapse of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties was just around the corner.
To the northwest, the Chahar tribe that rebelled against the Qing Dynasty was stronger than in history. The four banners on the left wing of Chahar, the four banners on the right wing, Duke Chuizhabu of Khalkha, the capital of Jinjin, the deputy capital of Budali, and Nai Jamuchan, the king of Man Banner, Aohan Banner who was defeated by Burni, and the Karaqin left wing that was surrounded by the Chahar tribe and the Ming army, totaling more than 20,000 men and horses. As long as they can defeat the Manchu Qing, they are urgently summoned. The combined forces of the Horqin, Alu Horqin, Wengniut, Bahrain, Tumut, and Zalut banners can then march straight into Liaodong from Yizhouwei, and even cross the Liaohe Tao to threaten Shenyang.
In the west of Liaoning, the Dangshuo Army stationed in Ningyuan has completed the construction of fortifications, and is in a favorable situation where it can advance and attack, and retreat and defend. In this way, if it relies solely on firepower to take the defensive position, the Dangshuo Army can deploy nearly half of its troops. The troops, that is, 20,000 people, moved to fight. Either to reinforce the Northeast Military Region, or to conduct an amphibious landing in the Yingkou area at the mouth of the Liaohe River to complete the flank encirclement of the Qing army in Gaizhou.
In the direction of North Korea, the New Independent Division is replenishing a large number of Jiangwutang officers, crossing the Yalu River in regiment units, and conducting many small-scale adaptive operations with the Qing army in the Fengcheng and Kuandian areas. With the increase of combat experience Rich, as well as strengthened artillery and cavalry, because they faced the smallest number of Qing troops, Zhu Yongxing felt that this might be the most explosive force.
1, 2, 3, 4. As long as the troops of the Northeast Military Region continue to consume the Qing army near Gaizhou, the threats in the four directions will become greater and greater, until the threats in one direction become a breakthrough, and the entire Liaodong war situation will It will suddenly turn over. It's very simple. The Manchu and Qing Dynasties have no troops to adjust, and supporting the current situation is already their greatest effort.
This is Zhu Yongxing's purpose to win with the most reliable tactics. As long as he can firmly absorb the main force of the Qing Dynasty and fight with them to consume them, the Northeast Military Region has already achieved a great success. If it is done too hastily, it will easily lead to variables.
The North has just been decided and the capital has just been moved. Zhu Yongxing does not want any bad news to shake people's hearts. The restoration and reconstruction of the North, the funds that can be raised from selling land and houses, all require stability, social stability, and the stability of people's hearts, even if it is a small incident. He doesn't want to fail.
"...The Manchu and Qing Dynasties can still support it, but time is on our side. There may be some difficulties in the short term, but the longer the fight continues, the weaker the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be. The stronger we will be, the smoother the war will be. From the overall perspective, victory is nothing Doubtful, I also know that the generals are eager to win, but the north has been initially decided. I hope that what comes from Liaodong after the capital is moved is good news, and it will never be a failure. Even a small defeat will frustrate people's hearts and thus affect the established operation of the entire court. "
Zhu Yongxing stopped and thought for a while, then continued to write: "The weak fight with the strong, the weak takes advantage of victory, and the strong benefit from wrestling; the rich sue the poor, the poor are happy to settle quickly, while the rich are happy to endure. Today When the Manchu Qing Dynasty shrank to a corner, how could the weak compete with the strong, and the poor compete with the rich for wealth? Therefore, you must make up your mind and follow the established purpose to fight the enemy. Attacking will be fruitless, but defense will be safe. , this is a great achievement. You can show this letter to the outside world, so that the generals can understand my heart."
To ensure stability, we can only win steadily. This is a decision Zhu Yongxing made from a higher position and based on the overall situation.
As long as there is no internal chaos, there is no doubt about the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. From now on, the possibility of civil strife is very small and cannot be considered.
After pressing the button of the Northeast Military Region and eager to fight, Zhu Yongxing took out Zha Rulong's secret book and read it for the second time, so he read it very quickly.
During the spring floods this year, another breach occurred at the Qingjiang estuary in the lower reaches of the Yellow River. However, after the water receded and the embankments were built, large tracts of fertile farmland were silted out. In addition to the farmland returned to the affected areas, there are still more than 2,000 hectares. Zha Rulong means to pay the official price
If sold, the money obtained will be controlled by the Ministry of Water Resources, which can solve the shortage of river industry and silver.
Although the method sounds good and can save a lot of money in the treasury, it does not fully satisfy Zhu Yongxing's intentions because they confuse the difference between owned land and unowned land. According to Zha Rulong and Chen Huang, Xiuhe's
At that time, the rich squires were asked to work and pay, but they complained endlessly and didn't get a cent. When the river was repaired, they wanted to get back large tracts of land for nothing. How could it be such a good thing?
“For thousands of years, the Yellow River has been flooded frequently and has a lot of silted land. If the land is owned by no one, it can be sold by the government. However, if the land is owned by an owner, it cannot be transferred to the state because the state spends money to control the river. National flowers
The purpose of money to control the river is to benefit the people and benefit the future. It is only natural and right for the silted fields to be restored to their original owners. How can the country compete with the people for profit? Moreover, it is voluntary to contribute money and effort, but it can be rewarded for it, but
You cannot be punished for this..."
After Zhu Yongxing finished writing, he checked again. River management is a public welfare undertaking and something the government should do. It is not a profit-seeking move. Don't worry about what the silt field looked like before. Since it has its own owner, there is no need to
The principle of robbing, or asking the original owner to pay for redemption.
In fact, this is also a difference in thinking and a gap in the times. Zha Rulong, Chen Huang and others still have traditional government concepts, or they are eager to control the river. Anyway, they are different from Zhu Yongxing's ideas. Just like Zhu Yongxing hates using the government
The same principle applies to requisitioning materials or manpower without compensation in the name of others.
It seems that the reform appears to be smooth on the surface. Laws are enacted and policies are implemented. However, errors inevitably occur during specific implementation. The thinking of officials and their understanding of the policies are all related to whether the reform is implemented and whether it is true.
It plays an important factor in achieving the expected effect when formulating.
There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. This is what Zhu Yongxing is most worried about. He is in the ninth level and it is difficult to understand the people's sentiments. This secret discount system is also a remedy. Once every ten days, even if there is no major event, the local situation must be taken into account.
Go up to heaven and listen.
Such as whether the weather is sunny or rainy, whether the price of rice is cheap or expensive, even taxes, officials' achievements, competitions in the officialdom, factional battles, poems and poems by literati, anecdotes among the common people, etc., there are all kinds of things.
The content can be any. It is through these seemingly tedious and useless little things that Zhu Yongxing can more truly understand the political sentiments of the people in the north and south of the Yangtze River and grasp the political situation.
