After sending off his uncle, Governor Yang completely drew a clear line with the court. As for whether Tianqi and Sun Chengzong would accept it...

Do they have the right to choose?

The noose is in the hands of the Yang family. If they win this battle, they will naturally have nothing to do. But if they cannot win this battle, then in the future, the Yang family's industry in the north will tighten the noose.

The big grain stick in hand.

Control of the canal transportation is in hand.

There is no need to worry that Apocalypse will make irrational choices.

Although the real natural disaster had not yet come down at this time, the north had already felt the cold winter. Last year, the entire Northern Zhili and most of Shandong were already in a state of famine, and sweet potatoes were almost becoming the staple food in various places, and it is still the case. This year, the people from all over the world who were frightened by last year have even collected sweet potatoes to prepare for planting. Although Tianqi had long heard the ironic word "The Sweet Potato Rise" from Yang Xin, he still kept ordering Jiu Qiansu to reward sweet potatoes in various places to expand the planting area.

He also knew what Yang Xin said about the natural disaster.

There is no need to tell him this specifically, he will know it by looking at Yang Xin’s actions over the years.

Governor Yang has a mythological color.

Although for those who know the details, all the stories of his origins are made up, Jiu Qiansui cannot not know that Yang Xin's identity was originally bought by his old brother Huang Zhen in Renqiu.

but.

Yang Xin's body is real.

His body, which was healed in a blink of an eye, was a mythical color in itself.

Such a person has been making canned foods in recent years, and they are not sold at all. They are transported directly to cellars in various places for storage. Even in Guangdong, they are shipped to the Yang family's cellar warehouse on Jeju Island for storage. They are constantly renovated and even went to places like Taiwan to overcome obstacles. Businesses in various places are constantly selling various new seeds, corn, and sweet potatoes to the public at low prices. Recently, they have started selling potatoes, especially sorghum, and they all go to the pastoral areas for planting. His oil purchase business is obviously a loss, but the loss is still a high price purchase, which makes donkeys everywhere in northern Shaanxi like crazy.

All this is not normal.

With his power, he could easily enjoy wealth and prosperity, but he insisted on doing these things that were low in profits or even lost money.

The Yang family has a new textile machine. A female worker can spin dozens of spinning yarns by hand. However, he would rather buy cotton from a distant India and spin and weave cloth to make the products uncompetitive in front of Guangdong goods than buy cotton locally. It is even more prohibited for Yangjiazhuang households to grow cotton...

He didn't know if this was more profitable?

There is only one reasonable explanation for his strange actions.

He is preparing for the wasteland.

He knew that a famine that would be beyond people's imagination would soon come, and he had to use all means to increase grain production and stockpile enough food. The snow disaster in northern Shaanxi last year had verified this point. The donkey team, sweet potato promotion, and the reserves of various places quickly solved the famine in northern Shaanxi. Combined with his mythological color, even the gentry actually believed him a little.

but……

So what if you believe him?

If you believe him, let him divide the land?

joke!

So what about famine for gentry? It’s not enough to starve yourself, so what about starving millions or even tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of tens of millions of serfs? As long as your land is still there, as Fang Congzhe said, it will be a prosperous era in a few decades, and the farmland burned by wildfires will grow as well as the harvest. For noble officials and even emperors, the same is true. As long as the rule is not overturned, what’s the big deal about starving a group of sheep to death, as long as you are still the owner of the flock or the shepherd.

Just can't delay eating mutton.

The hungry people rebel?

Kill it!

The government troops who can kill wild boar skins and kill rebels are not like cutting melons and vegetables? But what Yang Xin is playing now is to let the flock know that he is not slaughtered, let the flock learn to resist the sheep and resist the fate of being slaughtered and eating meat.

He even gave the cannon to the flock.

This is the most dangerous.

But they didn't know that Yang Xin was doing something even more ruthless...

"Four People's Congress!"

Yang Xin said.

After seeing off his uncle, he then convened a meeting of military officials from various places and proposed a brand new term.

"Scholars, peasants, industry and commerce have to add soldiers.

A scholar is a scholar, but not limited to those who have fame and honor. All those scholars, including children, students, even those who teach, even those who write, draw, and study science are all considered scholars.

As for the remaining agriculture, industry and commerce, there is no need to explain.

Each of the four adult males in various places chooses one person and form the Four People's Congress in Nanjing. If you have any taxes in wars in the future, you will tell them first, and then tell the people of all places. Even if they think there is something inappropriate, you can also put forward some opinions. But it is for reference only. Whether to adopt it is up to me. The choice is very simple, which is to draw lots, and the qualification to run for election is also very simple, which is to pay tax certificates. After each household pays the tax, a tax certificate is a lot of money.

Regardless of the land rent paid by farmers, the silver paid by craftsmen, and the various commercial taxes paid by merchants are all counted.

Then draw lots based on tax certificates.

The people who caught were representatives of the Four Civilians, four in each county and one soldier representative in each army. They went to Nanjing to form the Four Civilians Congress.

Change every five years.

If you do something bad during this period, the people of the county you belong to can come to him or even sue him to me."

He continued.

"Lord, why bother with this? If you have any questions, just listen to yours."

An officer said.

Then there was a voice of echo.

"No, no, we need to figure out one thing. We serve the people. Our purpose is to live a better life for the people. But we are not sages and we will inevitably make mistakes. Therefore, the people need supervision. The Four People's Congress is to supervise us and avoid us doing wrong things."

Yang Xin said modestly.

The subordinates immediately had admiring eyes.

They are all servants of the Yang family, which is trained by Yang Xin in his own school over the years. However, in terms of knowledge level, it is equivalent to the sixth grade in modern times. No matter how high it is, it is difficult. However, of course, there are many higher military qualities. Currently, they serve as directors of the Military Control Commission in various counties and townships.

He is a crazy believer loyalty to Yang Xin.

But he was young, lacking practice, and had a passion for his heart, so Yang Xin could only send some small officials familiar with government affairs to cooperate with them from Zhaoyi.

After three years, Zhaoyi City, a militia system that is purely free-range, has formed a management model itself. However, due to the lack of sufficient supervision, grassroots officials are inevitably a little unhappy. Of course, compared with the past imperial officials, they are all cheap like role models. After all, if they do too much, they are easily shot and shot. Moreover, Zhaoyi City has not established a real judicial system, and justice depends more on the force of military and political officials.

If a banker invades arouses public outrage and is shot to death by militia, his superiors will often take the approach of calming the situation.

This is very limited corruption.

But not without it.

And it will definitely intensify over time, so this system must also be transformed.

But the ability of those grassroots officials is still worthy of recognition, so they complement each other with these passionate young people, establishing militia systems in various places they have just won, and are in charge of government affairs, especially major issues such as land distribution.

And the justice is another set...

It is still based on the skin of the Nanjing Censorate and Dali Temple, but it is clear that the former is equivalent to the procuratorate and the latter is equivalent to the court.

But the staff are also servants, so it is impossible to get the censors back.

The law should be in accordance with the law of the Ming Dynasty.

This law is enough for this era, and there are not enough grand edicts. The former is a special law, and the latter is a case-by-case judgment. Of course, Yang Xin himself selected some of the contents in the grand edict that suited his wishes, and specially revised the grand edicts. One hand, the Ming Dynasty law and the other hand, these two are enough to ensure the legal basis. However, he cannot appoint officials such as the censor, so the Censorate is the prosecutor, the Dali Temple, and the judge.

Public security is the army.

A special army directly under the shogunate of the Yingguo Duke was reorganized into a public security army, and then dispatched public security camps to each county and public security teams to each township. In fact, it was mainly to suppress the resistance of the landlords and ensure the smooth distribution of land in various places. After all, there will inevitably be irrational behaviors to take on this.

This is his current management system for this control area.

As for taxation, finance, etc., this is the responsibility of the various departments under the shogunate of the Duke of Yingguo, and the ministers of each department are responsible to him, including the army, and the general staff of his shogunate. In this way, he will be in charge of military and political control, and only the judicial system will be covered by the imperial court. Then he will hold a four-civilian conference, so that there will be public opinion institutions, and he can act in this controlled area under the banner of the people. In the future, he will draw lots of representatives of the four-civilian conference and join the four-civilian conference. Then everything will be natural.

As for drawing lots...

Lots are the easiest and most effective method.

The result of the election was finally decided by the rich. The people did not know so much. The rich people used a little trick to coax them, but they could not draw lots. Although the rich people would also buy the representatives, fortunately, Yang Xin was not really prepared to let the Four People's Congress decide what. The purpose of this institution was to let the people know their power, and to use it to integrate the control area. After all, Governor Yang was just Duke Yingguo, and he needed something that could integrate the control area from the hearts of the people.

The Four People's Congress is enough.

The Four People's Congress represents that this area has formed a single whole, allowing the people to break free from the imperial rule from the heart.

But what role does it really play...

By the way, the British had to decide the final say in the end. The textbooks boasted about the British, but the fact was that the Japanese told the members that they had the freedom to breathe air, and at least under the current circumstances, such an institution could only be symbolic.
