My Daming New Empire

This kind of system has certain advantages, that is, no matter what time, Daming will not be short of soldiers, nor will it be short of craftsmen.

However, there is still a very big flaw in it, that is, the upward passage becomes very narrow.

In addition to studying to change their destiny, the son of a farmer can only be a farmer, and cannot go to work or serve as a soldier.The same is true for the other two household registrations, so many talents may become invisible to everyone because of this restriction.

And there is also Lehu, in later generations, entertainers, singers, they have a very high status.But in Daming, they belonged to the lowest class of people. These people were even disqualified from studying and becoming officials.

Girls can only be girls when they grow up, performing arts, while boys are forced to wear green headscarves as a sign to distinguish ordinary civilians.

This is how what people in later generations call "wearing a cuckold".

Zhu Zhanji's abolition of household registration, etc., is tantamount to the abolition of restrictions on everyone.You are the son of a farmer. Not only can you be a farmer, but you can also work in a factory or serve as a soldier.

The most important thing is that Lehu's discrimination has been cancelled, so that those criminals no longer need to be inferior.

This kind of change has a great impact on Daming and discrimination. Daming's household department has not been able to fully determine the identities of the domestic people for a whole ten years.

It was not until recent years that the country stabilized.

However, it still caused a huge burden on the country's management, and even taxes were much less.

Although Daming does not mainly rely on agricultural taxes to fill the national treasury, this loss is still unacceptable to many officials.

Zhu Zhanji was talking about corruption, and Yu Qian was talking about household registration, which seems to be different things.But there is a link between the tax system, which has the same impact on the two aspects.

What Yu Qian considers is that the household registration system is as strict as before, and the control of anyone, including corruption, is relatively simple.

But Zhu Zhanji can't just consider these aspects, what he considers is more far-reaching, even including the hidden dangers of the current enfeoffment system.A weak emperor may lead to the separation of princes and independence in the future.

Even if he becomes independent, the descendants of his Zhu family will still be in power, and it will still be ruled by the Han people.But for Zhu Zhanji, it is still necessary to maintain a huge empire as much as possible.

Abolishing the household registration system now can open a hole for the succession of titles and titles in the future.

The harm of title inheritance is not great, but the harm of title inheritance is actually very great.

On the one hand, this almost blocked the upward path of ordinary people, because the official positions above were almost fixed.

The only thing the common people can count on is to develop into civil servants.

On the other hand, placing some incompetent people in important positions will cause many unnecessary struggles and infighting, and consume one's own strength.

In order to develop, Zhu Zhanji still adopted the original inheritance system, but over the past few decades, Zhu Zhanji is determined to change this unreasonable policy that even restricts the development of Ming Dynasty.

The case of Zheng Hong provided him with such an opportunity.

After hearing Yu Qian's words, Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "The reform is for the development of Ming Dynasty, how can we give up because of choking. Regarding this aspect, I already have a little plan, and I will talk to the Prime Minister today."

Yu Qian bowed again. "The minister is all ears."

Zhu Zhanji said: "I want to check the household registration of the people in the world, and I will assign a unique number to each person. This number will be the identity symbol of this person. No matter whether it is a customs clearance document or a bank account, it must be compiled with a real name. Every Only one account is allowed for individuals, so that no matter whether the person is a businessman, a worker, or a farmer, all wealth is clear at a glance. Even if you want to evade taxes, it is impossible. If you want to control, there are traces to follow."

The ministers in the audience looked at each other in blank dismay, and it took only a short time to realize the benefits of this method.

Everyone has a unique number, so there will be no confusion because of the same name and surname.Now the bank outlets have penetrated into the villages and towns, because cash is not allowed, and cash can only be circulated through the bank, so almost everyone has opened an account in the bank.

However, the previous accounts were quite chaotic, and many people registered several accounts by themselves.

As long as the account is not opened in one place, the bank lacks the ability to identify customers, and it is difficult to find out how many accounts a person has and how much property he has.

But after formulating the ID number information, all these difficulties will be easily solved.

Yu Qian immediately said excitedly: "Your Majesty is truly a talent from heaven, and I immediately ordered someone to formulate a detailed strategy according to His Majesty's wishes."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "It's early. Let's go.... Li Liang, let someone go and bring the Zheng family into the palace. Let them have a bowl of hot porridge first. After I eat, I will meet them."

When Zhu Zhanji finished his breakfast and returned to the Jinshen Hall, he had already finished the analysis of Zheng Ying by the intelligence personnel from Jinyiwei and the Counseling Information Department.

When Zheng Ying was young, he had already come to Yingtian Mansion to study, because he had been fighting in the Hezhong area for years, and Zheng Hong was fighting all the year round, so he was not like the heirs in other areas as a hostage, but he stayed in the capital as a hostage.

He is in his early forties this year, but he has only been to the river four times in total, and the time each time is very short.

In intelligence, he is a heir to a family of military generals who is honest and honest, and his writing is better than his martial arts.

Such a character gave Zhu Zhanji greater confidence in the next temptation.

Zheng Ying led his nephews into the Jinshen Hall. He did not dare to go forward, so he knelt down on the ground: "The guilty minister Zheng Ying brought 17 descendants of the Zheng family to meet His Majesty. Except Ying's two ignorant grandsons, all the descendants of the Zheng family Here, I respectfully request Your Majesty's holy order."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and sighed: "My Ming Dynasty is now in the heyday of the country, and today unexpectedly such a fool as your father appeared. My heart aches beyond words. The Zheng family..., your Zheng family is really difficult for me! "

Chapter 13 Shock

"Your Majesty, I hope your Majesty will learn from you. My Zheng family has absolutely no intention of rebelling..."

Zheng Ying's head touched the gold brick, and there was a muffled bang, and after a while, blood was visible to the naked eye.

"Even if my father's intentions are not righteous, as a mere minister, at most he has a sense of self-reliance, and he has absolutely no intention of betraying Daming."

Zhu Zhanji asked coldly: "So, you also know your father's thoughts?"

Zheng Ying was stunned for a moment, how dare he admit it, and immediately cried: "Weichen grew up in Yingtianfu when he was six years old. In the past 40 years, he has only been to Kangju four times. In Weichen's heart, this Yingtianfu is Weichen's place." Your servant's house."

Samarkand was called Kangju in the former Tang Dynasty. Although it was called Samarkand before, it was called back to its original name after it was conquered by Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Zhanji believed Zheng Ying's words.This is the purpose of him keeping the direct descendants of nobles from all over the place in Yingtian Mansion.

They have grown up in Yingtian Mansion since they were six years old, and they have the opportunity to leave Yingtian Mansion only when they become adults.But if he changes from a grandson to a son, he will come to Yingtian Mansion as a hostage again.

During this process, they had limited contact with their father and grandparents, and they would not be influenced too much by each other.

But growing up and living in Yingtianfu, their sense of identity with Tianfu is naturally stronger than that of the fiefdom.

Moreover, so many powerful families in Yingtian Mansion gathered here, and let everyone understand that the power of his family is not worth mentioning compared to the entire Ming Dynasty.

More importantly, the education of patriotism and nationalism from an early age will also give them a strong sense of identity with the entire country and nation.

There are very few people like Zheng Hong who can't recognize their own abilities, but there are very few.

Moreover, Zheng Hong was mainly not in Li Liangguo in Yingtian Mansion, so he made such a muddled move.

He wanted to rebel, but he couldn't go out with the order, so he was put under house arrest by his two sons, which also shows that Zhu Zhanji's actions were effective.

Zhu Zhanji was very pleased with the actions of Zheng Fang and Zheng Bo, and gave them a lot of points.Although Zheng Ying is the eldest son, he has not passed this test, so Zhu Zhanji wants to test it.

After all, he is the legal heir of the Zheng family.In order to maintain the stability of the noble system, Zhu Zhanji will never mess up the succession system.

"It's been 40 years, and your Zheng family is the first one to rebel. Although it didn't happen, it must be guarded against. In your opinion, how should I deal with your Zheng family?"

Zheng Ying's head touched the gold brick, but he dared not lift it up. "Your Majesty's intentions, I don't dare to speculate, and I hope that your Majesty will be magnanimous because of the fact that Zheng Jiasan replaced Daming in guarding the Western Regions."
