Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty-Four: To Die

In Zhang Jingyi's opinion.

If land reform is not carried out and the land speculation problem is completely interrupted, it will be like tens of millions and hundreds of millions of people in the world are all buried in the thirteen provinces of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and everyone is working hard.

Have money, save it!

What are you saving up?

Buy land!

Then this capital will never be able to effectively flow into other areas, and as a result, a large amount of capital enters the land frantically, which also raises the land price.

Once the land price is high, all those who have acquired the land will become the biggest beneficiaries, after all, the land price has risen.

Then more people will eat braised vegetables and continue to buy land.

People's consumption power is almost non-existent. After all, when you spend money and enjoy it, where can you buy land fragrance?

The world's annexation for more than two hundred years and more than two hundred years, the vast majority of the land has fallen into the hands of these gentry and landlords of all sizes.

But the poor want to farm but become hired farmers. From then on, they have been farmed for the gentry for generations, and finally formed a relationship of personal dependence.

This is obviously the most important reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Because the gentry has more and more land, their funds and investments have not brought a positive effect on the world!

This crazy land purchase behavior will not create new demands, but will also make self-cultivated farmers go bankrupt.

At the same time, with the annexation of land, their land has increased, and naturally more and more people are dependent on them. To some extent, they have begun to expand into powerful people who can determine local affairs.

The county magistrate appointed by the court may be in harmony with them. If they refuse to cooperate, they will face the few gentry with the most land in a county, and a mere county magistrate is just a puppet.

There was a widespread marriage between the gentry and monopolized knowledge. In the end, a large number of gentry children entered the court to protect them.

To solve this problem, dividing the land can be said to be the resettlement of refugees and maintaining stability in the world.

After all, more and more people have lost their land, and it has reached an increasingly fierce momentum. A large number of refugees without land, without covering their bodies and eating, will sooner or later become bandits, and eventually, they will form military groups that resist the imperial court.

On the other hand, it is to cut off this investment model of land purchase for all. Once it is completely cut off, the land is not allowed to flow between private individuals at will. Then the money accumulated by the old money on weekdays will inevitably begin to flow to other industries.

Because of this, Zhang Jingyi believes that when the land loses the value of investment, many industries may prosper. This is actually the so-called "a whale falls into the world".

It is impossible for tens of millions and hundreds of millions of people to rely on the weather forever. Although agriculture is fundamental, this limited land can no longer bear the increasing manpower.

If you want to break the deadlock, you will not be able to rely on this crazy introversion method. Only when a hundred jobs prosper can those refugees who cannot gain a foothold in the countryside have a chance to support their families! Only then can you give many people a hope that they can turn themselves around.

Emperor Tianqi was still a little confused about this, but it didn't matter. He didn't have to pay attention to these things. He believed what Zhang Jing said.

Since I believe it, it will be natural, so I can just let Zhang Jing do it.

So Emperor Tianqi said, "Then the family thought that it would be better for whom to do these things? In Shenyang, it was handed over to Mao Wenlong for recruiting and resettling refugees. So who will preside over the plan to divide the land?"

Zhang Jingyi said, "I heard that Yuan Chonghuan is still alive, but he is still in prison."

"That guy?" Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this. He had complaints about Yuan Chonghuan.

Isn't this a waste?

The Liao people defended the Liao territory, which Yuan Chonghuan proposed.

Ning Jin's defense line was also proposed by this guy.

As for the three or five years of Ping Liao, he said it himself.

After that, he asked him to thoroughly investigate the Liao general. He was good. He did it a little, but he was finally taken down.

Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but say, "This person is so good at talking big, but I'm afraid it's hard to accomplish anything."

Zhang Jingyi was obviously different from Emperor Tianqi's focus. At this time, he said: "But Your Majesty, no matter what, at least he is ours! At the beginning, when he thoroughly investigated the Liao generals, he had turned against these Liao generals. After that, the Liao generals rebelled and put him in prison. Such a person would never be able to be with people like Liaodong. Moreover, he knew Liaodong well after all."

"As for the reason why he did not do anything... I dare say that in the case of Liaodong, no governor can do anything. In this Liaodong, all the people in the mountains and the people in the mountains have to do with the Liao people. The so-called Liao generals are actually warlords of all sizes. Yuan Chonghuan came to Liaodong only with an imperial edict, so how could he use these arrogant soldiers to control them?"

"Now, these people have been uprooted. Although the work they have to do next is heavy, in fact, there are no major obstacles from the original ones. I think Yuan Chonghuan is capable of doing it."

"What's more,..." Zhang Jing paused and then said: "To implement this matter, the first thing is to use people. In the past, they could only use these people who had a relationship with the Liao clan. Even if others wanted to use them, they would not come. So this time, I think... a large number of people should be organized to go out of the Liaodong to assist Yuan Chonghuan in the cleaning work."

Emperor Aoki asked, "Where do people come from?"

Zhang Jingyi said: "I find a way to draw 300 civil and military officials from Xinxian and Fengqiu County. These people are considered to be able to serve."

Emperor Tianqi nodded and said, "The officials in Fengqiu and Xinxian are indeed very capable, and they are the same as the New Deal. With these three hundred backbones, assisting Yuan Chonghuan, they may be successful."

Zhang Jing said: "However, it is a pity for them to come from a prosperous place like Fengqiu and Xinxian to this bitter and cold place."

Zhang Jing turned his eyes.

Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jingyi and understood something in an instant: "So what do you think?"

Zhang Jing said, "You might as well give me some treatment. For example, when the county magistrate comes here, you can serve as the prefect. When the county magistrate comes, you can serve as the co-magistrate of the prefecture. If the street chief, the alley chief, the county magistrate, and ordinary servants can serve as some official positions."

"Of course, don't give them actual positions for the time being, but use substitute positions first! For example, the prefect gives them one year to serve as the prefect. After this year, check whether they are competent. If they are competent, they will be transferred to the full position. In this way, everyone has hope."

Zhang Jing said, staring at Emperor Aoki.

In fact, this suggestion requires great courage.

Because this means that ordinary civil servants can be directly appointed as real officials.

There have been signs of promotion from civil servants to officials in Xinxian County. For example, the county magistrate in Xinxian now starts from ordinary civil servants, later becomes street chiefs, and then transferred to the county magistrates to become officials, and eventually becomes county magistrates.

Although the officials and county magistrates seem to be just a change in their identities, in fact, officials are officials who are not recognized by the court and are not officials at all. No matter how good you do, you will only be officials in your life.

But the county magistrate is different. Although he is just a sesame and mung bean official, he is also a real official position.

Of course, Zhang Jingyi was extremely powerful. Although he played like this in Xinxian and Fengqiu, there were few people talking about it.

Anyway, you, Zhang Jingyi, play with mud by yourself, and everyone is just purity.

But... it is obviously different now. This means that Zhang Jingyi began to spread the civil servants he trained to the surrounding areas.

In the past, Zhang Jingyi was the county magistrate of Xinxian County, and the county magistrate had Lu Xiangsheng, who had already made fame. In Xinxian County, the official positions that could be filled were only county magistrates, teachers and officials. Anyway, they were all sesame and mung bean officials of the eighth or ninth rank, and there were only a few vacancies, so there was no big problem.

And what about Liaodong?

There are thousands of miles of dikes in Liaodong and countless prefectures. Once these civil servants leave the pass and start to serve as officials, this is equivalent to completely breaking the iron law of becoming an official in the imperial examination.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for civil servants to be held by people without fame and fortune.

It is precisely because of this that the imperial examination became the only way to become a civil servant.

Now, Zhang Jingyi has made a direct opening in Liaodong. How great is this?

If you dare to do this now, you will be unimaginable if you do anything in the future.

Some of the civil servants are just scholars and fame, and some even have no fame.

I heard that there are still people who only know some words and can write and calculate, so they only work as a mere accountant in the county household house. Later, they gradually started to be street chiefs and alley chiefs. Such people... can they be officials?

Then who else can take the imperial examination?

When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he immediately understood Zhang Jingyi's thoughts.

He is also a clear person. He knew what kind of trend might be triggered by Zhang Jingyi's proposal, so he smiled and said, "Zhang Qing, Zhang Qing, you are really struggling every day. This is to make me follow you again."

Zhang Jing looked unhurried, but smiled and said, "Then... forget it? Anyway, those civil servants are quite pitiful. I will feel sorry for them when I come out of seclusion and come to this bitter and cold place. Otherwise, your Majesty will ask Gao Ming to do it."

"I don't mean that." Emperor Tianqi looked stern, became serious again, and immediately said: "What I mean is that those dogs are just tormenting them. Your idea is very good, just to my heart! I have seen through it now. Even if they are eaten to death, I have no one to use it. So, let those people take a good look, I have someone. This matter... you draw a charter for me!"

After saying that, Emperor Tianqi changed his subject and said, "Oh, where is my closest Governor Yuan? Rescue him quickly."
