The faces of Yuan Ji and the other three people showed excitement, especially the two young men Wen and Lu. It seems that joining Longya will help them achieve their lifelong ambitions. In fact, I know that these three people don't quite understand the essence of Longya. Of course,
This has to happen slowly.
It can be seen from this that ancient people were much simpler than modern people.
I looked at the three people and said with a little excitement on my face: "Longya will temporarily have five departments: General Department, Security Department, Supervision Department, Intelligence Department, and Commercial Department. Among them, the General Department
Responsible for coordinating the overall situation, formulating various systems of the organization, reviewing personnel who join the organization, and passing the organization's decisions to other departments. All members of the General Department must be core members of Longya. The Intelligence Department is responsible for collecting military, agricultural, commercial, humanistic geography, etc.
Intelligence from all places and in all walks of life, that is, giving full play to the role of fine work, extending it to all corners. Wherever there are people, there will be people from our dragon teeth. It can be as big as Kublai Khan's every move, or as small as who owns a family in a certain village.
Happy events, etc. The Ministry of Security is responsible for the safety of important figures in our dynasty, assassinating those who endanger our country, such as Liu Zheng, who defected to the enemy and betraying the country, and gradually wiping out Tianya. The Ministry of Supervision is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials and major industry organizations.
The commercial department needs to make money for the organization, and the people in the dragon's teeth also have to eat. These departments are subordinate departments of the organization and must work under the leadership of the organization. They are also sharp tools to achieve the organization's purpose. My initial plan is that this security department
Sir, the Intelligence Department will be handed over to Junshi, and the Supervision Department will be handed over to Song Rui. Of course, this is just your status in Longya. As for matters within the DPRK, you still cannot relax."
"I will do my best, Your Majesty, please rest assured."
"Well, the location of Dragon Tooth will be set up in the Shifeng Tea House first. I will ask Wei Xiaosi to buy all the nearby houses and rename it the Shifeng Chamber of Commerce. Externally, we will act in the name of the Chamber of Commerce. You will look carefully after you go down.
Think about it and see if there are any flaws in my idea."
"In compliance with His Majesty's will, I will retire."

Since moving to Ningqian Palace, I would often stand in front of the window on the top floor without realizing it, staring at the palace compound like a fool.
It seems that none of this has anything to do with me. I am just a passing tourist, a lonely time traveler.
I don’t know that I am a guest in the dream. Am I dreaming a long dream?
It's been almost a month since I came here, and I still can't accept the fact that Hisugi is leaving.
These days, I have gradually become accustomed to getting up early.
During the court meeting, the two factions of Xie and Jia had another dispute, and the reason was the public land law.
Chen Zongli, the Minister of Household Affairs, took the lead in firing.
"Your Majesty Chen Zongli has written a memorial."
"Chen Aiqing, please speak."
"Your Majesty, many officials on Zhexi Road have recently reported that this public land law has caused panic and even disgust among many farmers. After discussion, I hope that your Majesty will cancel this law."
In terms of the land system, the Song Dynasty was better than the Han and Tang Dynasties before, and later than the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. It can be said that it was the most mature dynasty in the development of private land ownership. The Song Dynasty inherited the practices after the two tax laws of the Middle and Tang Dynasties, and there were no restrictions on the sale and possession of private land. The Song Dynasty
Land annexation was mainly carried out through the economic method of free buying and selling. "The rich and the poor have no fixed status, and the land and houses have no fixed owner. If you have money, you will buy it, if you don't have money, you will sell it." It was an axiom at the time, so political privileges were used to plunder the land.
The annexation of land is not legally allowed.
Land is the most constant "permanent property" in agricultural society. In the Song Dynasty, households with permanent property were called principal households, and households without permanent property were called customers. Customers were mainly landless tenants, hired workers, etc. The principal household was called
The amount of property is divided into large landowners, small and medium landowners or wealthy farmers, ordinary small landowners, and there are many farmers who still need to cultivate part of the land.
With political corruption, land became more and more concentrated in the hands of big landowners, and the court gradually lost control. It had to issue huizi to quench thirst, or rely on hebian to fish out the lake. The result was that "the national economy was trapped in the creation of paper money.
"Rich households are trapped in "harmony", and no one can come up with a better solution.
In March of the fourth year of Jingding (1263), Jia Sidao decided to implement the public land law in an attempt to save the increasingly serious financial crisis.
However, the public land law directly involved the interests of bureaucratic landlords, and Lizong could not make up his mind. In the end, Jia Sidao threatened to resign from office before it could be implemented, but it was only implemented on a trial basis in some areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
In July of the fourth year of Jingding, less than half a year after the implementation of the Public Land Law, the Ministry of Finance claimed that "Chinese and foreign governments use crude methods." Although the flattery of Jia Sidao's party members cannot be ruled out, the Public Land Law will not be effective in alleviating the financial crisis.
It was absolutely useless. However, the public land law could not fundamentally solve the financial crisis. Instead, it became a new source of social unrest during the Jingding period.
I glanced at Jia Sidao and said, "Chen Aiqing, since the implementation of this public land law, it has increased the revenue of the national treasury a lot and has not disturbed ordinary farmers. How can it cause them uneasiness?"
"Your Majesty, this public land law has four major shortcomings. First of all, it is called buyback, but it is actually a robbery and deepens the social crisis. For example, one hundred guan per acre is supposed to be given, but only 40 guan is given, and most of it is Huizi (paper currency).
), so it is not surprising that they met with desperate opposition from big landowners. Secondly, official fraud and unfair buybacks intensified social conflicts. The officials in charge deliberately exaggerated the calculation of the number of acres of their fields and forced them to increase the number of buybacks, causing some people to
Every household went bankrupt and had no land to sell. However, those who oversaw the sale were harsh and unscrupulous, resorting to unscrupulous means and even indiscriminate corporal punishment, forcing some desperate households to commit suicide. Again, the official land was collected for rent, which led to class conflicts. Finally,
, seal Huizi, buy back public land, and aggravate inflation. The detailed explanation of these four points has been written in the memorial, please see it."
I motioned to Xiao Qi to take the memorial, looked at Jia Sidao and said, "Master, what do you think?"
Jia Sidao did not stand up and responded indifferently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the ministers will supervise the shortcomings of the public land law."
"Okay, let's leave it as it is."
"Your Majesty, I have a memorial from Ma Tingluan."
"Ma Aiqing, please speak."
"Your Majesty, the four major ills mentioned by Mr. Chen should not be underestimated. This Zhejiang Road is the most important tax of our Song Dynasty. Please think twice, your Majesty. If as time goes by, the people's anger and resentment will become more and more serious, our government's finances and the people's hearts will be damaged.
Affected.”
"I second the proposal." Most of Xie Daoqing's faction stood up and said.
Before I could speak, Jia Sidao stood up and said: "Master Chen, Master Ma, the public land law was decreed by the late emperor. It has been implemented for half a year. Our granary of the Song Dynasty has basically made the warehouses abundant. If it were not for the public land law to hoard grain and grass, we would have gone to the front for the soldiers."
Now with empty stomachs, I would like to ask you two adults, is it because there is too much land backlog at home, and this is why we are affected by this? Or do you have a better plan in mind that can ease our government's finances? Or is it because of this public land?
Is the method suggested by someone like me?"
Ma Tingluan said anxiously: "Master Jia, I was talking about the public land law, why did you mention it to other things?"
Jia Sidao slightly raised his tone and said: "Huh, you are such a stern scholar. You can't come up with effective strategies yourself, and you always like to point out other people's methods. Is this the virtue of a scholar?"
"You..." Ma Tingluan was speechless for a moment and just looked at me.
Jia Sidao also looked at me, as if waiting for my decision.
