I am the king of the dead

And in the hands of the commanding officer, there are still two important forces, one is the military students of the Confucian School of the Weisuo, and the other is the leader of the Volunteer Regiment.

The farm law of Ming Dynasty has been implemented for five years, and it is based on the upgrade of Liu Bowen's military law.

Zhu Qiyu has always wanted to add a female director, but there is no foundation, to be precise, there is no way to realize it, and there is no work to set up a female director.

Labor makes man free.

In the very beginning, the purpose of the Farm Law was to restore the population.

The population of Kyushu, Gyeonggi, and Fujian outside the mountains has been greatly reduced due to military disasters. Zhu Qiyu can only carry out the military and guard law of Emperor Taizu Gao to restore the population.

The high tax of [-]% has not changed from beginning to end.

In the newly established Jing'an Province, the farm law in the Hetao area also restores the population. Qu's family and Wala made it too much.

Later, Zhu Qiyu did not fully push forward the farm law. Instead, except for Shandong, there were some farm laws in official lands in various places.

Hu Wei sat on the stool and said helplessly: "The 16 provinces in the two capitals, only Gyeonggi, Fujian, and Jing'an, have fully rolled out the farm law. Shanxi, Guizhou, and the rest are small-scale pilots."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Min's slump, and said very precisely: "Hu Shangshu, the farm law is not a panacea, it can only solve the population decline on a large scale, and it is very useful to restore the population, but...it will eventually be corrupted. of."

"Distribution according to work is not fair."

"It's too troublesome to explain, but Hu Shangshu still remembers that I asked you to delete the sentence that never changes?"

"There is no universal law in the world, and there is no omnipotent law once and for all."

"There are always different problems at different times, and it is only when problems arise that they are solved."

"Now the clan has appeared, or the contradiction between public power and private power, how to solve it is the problem we have to think about."

Zhu Qiyu never talked about distribution at the Salt and Iron Conference. It is extremely difficult for Zhu Qiyu to explain that distribution according to work is not fair.

However, public power and private power have conflicts, and various demons have appeared. Through the collision of Chinese and Western cultures and Wang Zhi and his own experience, Hu Wei has found the cause of this problem from the root.

So, how to solve it?

"At this stage, it is impossible to eliminate the clan." Zhu Qiyu reminded Hu Wei.

The reason why the clan cannot be eliminated is simple, because the Ming Dynasty cannot eliminate the emperor at this stage.

Old Zhu's family is the largest clan in the world, and Zhu Qiyu himself is Da Zongzheng.

If Hu Wei wanted to completely eliminate the clan, he had to eliminate the emperor first.

This is not because Zhu Qiyu is greedy for the throne, but because of the current productivity, it is impossible to eliminate the clan system.

Unless Zhu Qiyu can rub controllable nuclear fusion with his hands, even if he can rub controllable nuclear fusion with his hands, he can really realize what Mozi constructed: "You love me, I love you. As one's own wealth, do human beings live in a world of great harmony amidst the sound of love?

Zhu Qiyu holds a conservative and pessimistic attitude. Of course, some people believe it and some people don't. Zhu Qiyu just doesn't believe in human nature.

Zhu Qiyu's ruling philosophy has always been very realistic, the people are the foundation of the country, the foundation is solid and the country is stable, and the ruling is based on the living beings for the benefit of the people.

"The bureaucrats in the bureaucracy come from the clan, so can we work hard on the imperial examination system?" Hu Wei put forward his own ideas.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said, "Be specific."

Hu Wei was silent for a long time, and after a long time of thinking, he opened his mouth and said: "Abolish private schools and set up government schools. At least the education of scholars should be in the hands of the court, instead of scholars carrying ten pieces of meat around to learn from teachers."

Ten pieces of meat are called Shuxiu, which is a teacher's gift.

"Guozijian set up sub-supervisors in the three divisions of the provinces, which were owned by the public, and taught mathematics by division of disciplines."

"It would be even better if we could organize the sociology of the world in those days."

"The folk customs are not good, and the education is not clear."

Longing arose in Hu Wei's heart. In the eighth year of Hongwu Emperor Taizu Gao ordered the establishment of social schools in various places, invited teachers and Confucians to teach folk children, and stipulated that folk children under the age of 15 should be sent to study in social schools.

Hu Wei grew up studying social studies, and because of his good studies, he was awarded the status of a scholar without being tested for children.

In the Hongwu period, he was elected in the middle school, and in the second year of Jianwen, he was a Jinshi.

As a minister of the Ministry of Rites, he believes that the bad customs of the people are all due to unclear education.

Zhu Qiyu looked at his lamp and said helplessly, "The court has no money."

"Even if only scholars from all over the country are brought into the government schools, Lin Xiu, the eunuch of the inner carrier warehouse, needs 300 million silver coins every year. This is not a one-year investment, but a ten-year or one-hundred-year investment."

"And with the increase in the number of people and the bloated bureaucracy, the investment in government schools will continue to increase."

"That's not counting construction costs."

"If it is really necessary to pick up sociology from various places and bring them under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, then...it is not as simple as 300 million silver coins."

3000?

Lin Xiu didn't count, and neither did Zhu Qiyu. The main reason is population growth, which will inevitably bring investment in education.

"Your Majesty, enlightenment is also the law of etiquette, which is what the court should have." Hu Wei said a little excitedly.

It is very expensive to maintain an imperial court, and Li Xian has a deep understanding of this. Li Xian once made a calculation when he was an official in the imperial court.

Even if Shaanxi and Liaodong are barren and not very prosperous places, maintaining a court requires at least 600 million silver coins or the equivalent in kind.

"Would you like to stop suffering and become rich and rich?" Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said.

Chapter 477 Your Majesty Doesn't Like Making Money, He Only Likes...

"How?" Hu Jin asked with some doubts.

Bitterness and bitterness are powerful and powerful, and bitterness and bitterness are wealthy businessmen. When His Majesty returned from Nanya, it became a common narrative method for the Ming emperor and court.

The minting of silver coins in the Ming Dynasty was a ditch, a struggle and balance of the imperial court.

Daming, and even the entire Central Plains Dynasty have been in a state of money shortage for a long time. His Majesty finally thought of a way, and greatly alleviated the ills caused by the money shortage.

But what did Nan Ya's powerful and powerful man do?

They are resisting, they even want to let His Majesty taste the power, and then they take advantage of the cold wave in Nanya to urgently need coal, making a big fuss.

If it wasn't for His Majesty's methods and means, they might have done it.

The purpose of silver coins and Jingtai Tongbao is to speed up the exchange of goods between the north and the south of Ming Dynasty and adjust the uneven distribution of resources.

It is even a major issue of imperial power and the authority of Beijing officials directly under the emperor's jurisdiction.

Therefore, it is a very common way of narrative that it is hard to be rich and rich.

Zhu Qiyu thought about it for a long time and said: ""Salt and Iron Theory" says: Although the field is taxed at [-] yuan, in addition to the task of changing the corvee by oral tax, the work of one person will be divided among the merits."

"Farmers know what they get, or borrow money to benefit from it. It is because the people work hard, and the hunger and cold will affect themselves."

The tax system of the Han Dynasty was one for thirty, but with the addition of corvee, apportionment, and private begging, the actual tax rate was as high as [-]% for one person's labor.

Although the people worked hard in farming, they were hungry and cold and could not satisfy themselves.

Once the people's labor remuneration cannot satisfy them, the phenomenon of abandoning and throwing babies will become the norm in society.

Once the population withers, everything stops.

There are many financial indexes to measure human happiness, the gap between rich and poor, etc. In fact, in Zhu Qiyu's view, the most critical index is whether the population starts to decline.

The decline of national power can be reflected intuitively from the population.

"Does Your Majesty want to increase taxes?" Hu Wei asked with a frown.

This tax increase is not a trivial matter, he is afraid that His Majesty will suddenly stride out.

This is not a problem that washing the floor can solve.

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "If I add one cent of tax to them here, they will dare to increase it ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times on the people's heads!"

"In the four years of orthodoxy, Yu Shaobao governor Shanxi once played a performance. Shanxi transports tax and food to Datong, Xuanfu, and Piantouguan every year. The road fee costs six or seven stones to one stone."

Zhu Qiyu doesn't plan to increase the tax. He has already collected more than [-]% of the seigniorage tax.

He took out a memorial and said: "Li Xian and the others are already ahead of the curve, and they plan to levy an inheritance tax of [-] in [-]."

"If you want to transfer real estate, ship certificates and other physical objects under your name to your child's name, you need to pay one-twentieth of the inheritance tax."

"This part of the tax can be exempted, such as repairing the Confucian school in the health center, building government schools in prefectures and counties, donating to the Nursing Home and Shefan Temple, etc."

Inheritance tax is a method used by Li Xian, a powerful gravedigger. The object of collection is the wealthy family with fixed assets of more than [-] silver coins.

Hu Wei shook his head after watching for a long time and said: "They can use various means, such as rushing to buy real estate, ship certificates, acres of land, shops, etc., and then inherit with liquid assets. The imperial court has no ability to control the flow of assets."

"Therefore, the inheritance tax has no chance of being successfully collected at all."

"In the Great Qin State, there was a tribune for life, the Grand Marshal, and the sacred and great Octavian, who once enacted a similar law, which is also similar to the one-twentieth inheritance tax, called the "Urus Law" , but it simply cannot be enforced.”

"Because after the implementation, it was soon discovered that many wealthy people have turned their property into liquid assets, and then avoided taxes."

Octavian's full name is: Gavis Octavian Augustus, in which Augustus means sacred and great, which was bestowed by the Roman Senate.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "So Li Xian felt that he had found a good method, so he played it. As for whether it can be implemented, it still needs to be discussed. I will not publish it, and discuss it later."

Hu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, His Majesty did not intend to increase taxes, he knew the disaster of tax increases, and tax increases need to be more cautious.

"Then your majesty doesn't plan to increase taxes, what are you going to do?" Hu Wei said with a strange expression.

Zhu Qiyu took out a ticket with a smile and handed it to Hu Yan and said with a smile: "Sun Bingfu, do you still have any impression of Hu Shangshu?"

"Yes, the head of the Baoyuan Bureau has been caught by His Majesty himself." Hu Wei said immediately.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Baoyuan Bureau has an additional function, you can save currency in Baoyuan Bureau, and then you can receive tickets and receive silver by ticket."

Ma Huan, the manager of Tongshitang, Tongshi, and Nikolaoz's translator, was the one who took [-] silver coins from Zhu Qiyu to supervise the Tongshitang.

Because the Sixth Ministry, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Wenyuan Pavilion all expressed their support for Kaihai, Tongshitang opened smoothly and will start recruiting students next year.

What Ma Huan took away was the ticket from the internal storage warehouse. With steel printing ink and cotton woven paper, he could take away [-] silver coins from the internal storage warehouse, and he could pick it up as he needed it.

Hu Wei shook his head and said, "How is this possible? How could they put their silver coins in the Baoyuan Bureau to exchange for a silver ticket?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "You have never seen the face of a money-grubbing person. If you hold silver coins in your hand, you are afraid of flying, and if you hold them in your mouth, you are afraid of melting. If you bury them in the soil, you have to dig them out five or six times a year, and count the number." , for fear of being stolen."

"Always put the silver coins in the red silk bag and keep it close to your body."

The fifth year of Jingtai was not peaceful. Bandits were rampant. The banner that bandits often used was to rob the rich and help the poor.

The professional beggars in the capital specially collaborated with these thieves in committing crimes.

But no one dared to rob Baoyuan Bureau, because Jin Yiwei and the Beijing Army were in charge of escorting the silver coins and silver taels of Baoyuan Bureau, and there were all kinds of artillery and guns.

The safest place to put money in the world is the Baoyuan Bureau. This is the only place where the Ming Dynasty Hall exchanges silver coins.

Zhu Qiyu explained the security advantages of Baoyuan Bureau clearly.

After listening to His Majesty's remarks, Hu Wei nodded slightly. He doesn't hoard silver and coins, so he doesn't know how nervous he is when holding so much money.

Zhu Qiyu borrowed and said: "And I will give them interest. One silver coin stored in Baoyuan Bureau can get two points of silver interest for one year, one hundred thousand silver coins for one year, only two thousand silver coins, there is something more stable than this. business?"

Hao Ren, who lives in Xicheng, is a typical dude. His family is very wealthy. Hao Ren's life of pleasure can be described as extravagant, but being prodigal is not a big deal. The Hao family's business is getting bigger and bigger.

As a result, Hao Ren failed several times in investing, and lost his family instead.

Because of the jade pendant of one hundred taels, Hao Ren killed his grandma, Mrs. Hao.

Entrepreneurship is risky, and investment needs to be cautious.

Zhu Qiyu's Baoyuan Bureau is a business that is sure to make money without losing money.

After hearing this, Hu Wei immediately shook his head and said, "Give interest money? The court will keep the money for them, and it's good if they don't take their money. Give interest money back?! And two cents of silver interest?"

"No, absolutely not, Your Majesty, Jin Shangshu is old and has a stomach problem. If he knows that His Majesty is giving you money, he will get sick from anger."

"Your Majesty, please forgive Jin Shangshu."

Zhu Qiyu hurriedly said: "The imperial court can continue to exchange the scattered silver taels from the people after they get the silver coins they have stored, and continue to receive seigniorage."

"It can also be invested in major official factories. Shijing Factory has been in operation for five years, and various craftsmen and apprentices can gradually start to take charge of their own. Even if they only invest in coal mining, they can equal or even exceed this part of the interest."

Giving interest money is naturally for the sake of a wider collection of reserves. When Li Xian was an official in Nanya, he scolded them. Silver is buried in the soil, can it still grow silver?

Now, there is a place where money grows, and that is Baoyuan Bureau.

Hu Wei thought about it seriously and said, "Your Majesty, let's discuss it with Jin Shangshu."

"But didn't your Majesty say that Ku Yi Ku is powerful? How can you give them money back?"

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, the more money is released, the less valuable it becomes. With the continuous inflow of Japanese silver coins, the price of goods will rise, and the speed will exceed [-]%, so they are actually losing money."

This kind of inflation increases with the increase of currency, which is benign inflation, which means that the economy is developing.

Saving money is an act of real negative interest rate. On the surface, saving money will make you a steady profit, but in fact, inflation and prices will rise, and you will lose money if you put the money in Baoyuan Bureau or in your own hands.
