Domineering Daming

Chapter 1469 Optimistic South Zhili

Chen Qiyu had been making preparations before entering Beijing, but she was still uneasy when facing Zhu Xu.

The cabinet went crazy this time and showed no sympathy for the governors of the provinces. Sun Shoufu even announced that he would replace several governors. Chen Qiyu was not sure whether he was among the "multiple".

Chen Qiyu stood in front of Zhu Xuyu's desk, and reported earnestly: "Your Majesty, the various 'new policies' in Nanzhili are progressing very smoothly. Great progress has been made..."

"The Governor's Yamen is in control of the overall situation. The Governor's Office, Dali Temple, the State Administration of Taxation, the General Administration of Taxation, and the Law Enforcement Bureau have all been implemented quite smoothly. The government has already controlled it. Although there are occasional objections, it does not affect the overall situation. Especially Ying Tianfu , Suzhou Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, etc., the implementation of the 'New Deal' is the best, and more than [-]% of it has been implemented..."

"On the whole, the reform of official administration is still in its infancy, and tangible and intangible resistance still exists, especially in some relatively remote places. It will take time to clarify the official administration..."

"The development of business has exceeded my expectations. At present, the whole Nanzhili is in full swing, the tax revenue is rising every year, and the upsurge of going to sea is in the ascendant..."

"The reform of farmland is the most difficult. At present, more than [-]% of the farmland in Nanzhili is concentrated in the hands of wealthy families, and the rest has been divided up. Almost all the people are tenant farmers. Rumors about the imperial court's land requisition are flying around, 'the imperial court's land requisition It is for the dignitaries', 'the imperial court will collect heavy taxes', etc. Both the common people and the gentry regard the fields as their lives and refuse to let them go..."

"The governor's office has formulated a detailed plan, including the clarification, distribution, and implementation of power, the overall plan for commercial development, and the various development outlines for the field policy..."

Zhu Xu looked at Chen Qiyu and listened silently.

Nanzhili is the most difficult bone in the reform of the Ming Dynasty. Although it has undergone changes, the lowest level has not been touched much.

In Nanzhili, there is no need to worry too much about the administration of officials. No one can resist. As long as it is promoted in an orderly manner, whether it is overcoming obstacles or cutting through obstacles quickly, it is nothing more than a matter of time.

Business, as expected, without much resistance, with the support of the court and the local government, and the full promotion of Shenlong Mansion's maritime trade, the development is in full swing, and it is the fastest-growing one among the three major reform cores.

The third is "land". This area is the core of Zhu Xu's reform, and it is also the most important, basic, and deadly place of the feudal dynasty.

After more than 200 years, the land in Daming has been highly concentrated. The big families range from decades to hundreds of years. Large and small are connected with each other, and a community of interests woven by an invisible web covers the entire Daming.

Southern Zhili contributed more than [-]% of Daming's taxes, and the food was as high as [-]% at this time of natural disasters, which was the key point of Daming!

Chen Qiyu did things seriously, and the things he learned from his mouth were more detailed and optimistic than those in the notebook.

Zhu Xu waved his hand to the outside, and two inner eunuchs walked over with chairs.

Chen Qiyu quickly thanked her, jumped out of the prepared script, and said: "Your Majesty, in general, Nanzhili is developing well. Give me three years to roughly complete the 'New Deal'. Completely completed, when the time comes, the official administration will be clear, the commerce will be prosperous, the people will have land, and the Ming Dynasty will be rejuvenated, and the prosperous age will come!"

Chen Qiyu spoke with confidence and confidence.Because he has already seen hope, Nanzhili's recent implementation has been very smooth, and some results have clearly fallen into everyone's eyes, which is very encouraging.

Zhu Xu looked at the teapot next to it that seemed to have opened suddenly, picked it up and poured a cup for Chen Qiyu, and said with a smile: "I know, Shoufu went to Nanzhili before, which put a lot of pressure on you, don't worry too much, let go Mental burden, go to battle in person, as long as you do well, no one will find fault with the chief assistant, I will make peace with you, during this time, your Nanzhili is still doing well..."

Before Sun Chuanting went to Nanzhili to participate in the World Trade Conference, he went to Yingtian Mansion on the way, forcing Chen Qiyu and others to issue a military order. It can be said that his attitude was very strict and harsh.

Chen Qiyu hurriedly stood up again, and said with fear on his face: "I dare not. I was really slack before waiting, and failed to understand the cabinet's request. The action was too slow, and the chief assistant should be angry."

There was a curious smile in Zhu Xu's eyes, wondering if Sun Chuanting had such a great prestige outside, and Chen Qiyu actually reacted like this?

Zhu Xu picked up the teacup with one hand, waved his hand with the other, and said, "Sit down and talk. I'm only telling you about this matter, and I didn't disclose it to the chief assistant. I plan to go to Suyanghang and Hangzhou to discuss the matter." Build an agricultural circle, vigorously reclaim land, strictly register household registration, redistribute land, and give full tilt to cattle, agricultural machinery, chemical fertilizers, irrigation, etc., I want to make this place a demonstration area... This is the granary of my Daming, no matter what No matter how important it is, you can understand what I mean, right?"

Chen Qiyu didn't expect that Zhu Xu would have such an idea, but after thinking about it seriously, there seemed to be no problem. After thinking for a while, he said: "I understand that I will make an arrangement plan as soon as possible, and report it to the emperor after the year."

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea, and said casually: "You have an idea about this matter. When you go to see the chief assistant and elders, you should mention it more. Needless to say, it's my idea."

Chen Qiyu didn't understand why, but said seriously: "Yes, I understand. It's just that Suzhou and Yangzhou are under the jurisdiction of the minister, so there is no problem in how they operate, but Hangzhou is not there."

"Isn't Qin Zhengyi in the governor's office? Let him take charge of this matter. In Zhejiang, if you communicate well, the cabinet will also coordinate." Zhu Xu said.

Qin Zhengyi was a member of the first three sessions of the Political Yuan, a student of the Son of Heaven, and one of the current representatives of the Political Yuan Department in the ruling and opposition parties.It is expected that he will be able to participate in politics in three to five years, and in a few years, he will be able to become a feudal official in Xinjiang, and he will enter Beijing around fifty, which is very promising.

A young man with a bright future.

Chen Qiyu suddenly understood, and said: "Yes. I will visit the Royal Political Council in the next few days and have a good talk with Dean Song and others."

Zhu Xu liked Chen Qiyu's efficiency, and said: "Well, listen more, and ask for advice. We must do things safely, comprehensively, carefully planned and in line with the development needs and potential laws of the times..."

Chen Qiyu didn't dare to be careless, and listened carefully. These are "compulsory questions" and will be answered in the future.

Zhu Xu already had a general understanding of Nanzhili, and felt a lot more relaxed. He said: "It's rare for you governors to get together. Find a time to have a good chat, make up for each other's shortcomings, learn from each other's strengths, what good experience do you have? , method, don’t be self-absorbed..."

Chen Qiyu raised his hand and said, "I obey the order."

At this moment, Liu Shimin walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the speech on the big discussion by the First Assistant has been delivered."

"Well."

Zhu Xu raised his head and said, "Bring it in, I've been waiting. I'm relieved at Nanzhili. Go, I'll hold a banquet for you governors in Qianqing Palace in a few days."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take my leave." Chen Qiyu said, with a calm face and a long sigh of relief in his heart.

When he came, he was always worried that Qianqing Palace would be dissatisfied with Nanzhili like Sun Chuanting, and wanted to use Nanzhili to sacrifice the flag and stand up.

Chapter 1470 is beneficial to the court

After Chen Qiyu left, Zhu Xu took the draft of Sun Chuanting's speech and read it carefully.

The title of Sun Chuanting's speech is: Outline of the Summary of the Reform of the Great Ming Jingzheng's New Deal.The catalog is divided into eight aspects: official administration, agriculture, commerce, industry, culture, and national defense.

The administration of officials is mainly to explain his reform plan, reaffirming the Ming system and the necessity and goal of reform.

The Ming system is an "imperial system", and the emperor has the supreme power, including the power to amend and abolish the Ming law, appoint and dismiss all officials.The cabinet is in charge of all the government affairs of Ming Dynasty and is nominated and appointed by the emperor.

At the same time, it also confirmed the status and power of the parliament. The parliament has the power to impeach and remove cabinet ministers, audit government affairs, and also has the power to amend laws.

Institutionally speaking, the parliament is the power layer between the emperor and the cabinet.

In Sun Chuanting's speech, he once again clearly divided the powers and responsibilities of the Cabinet, the Five Ministries, the Supervisory Council, and the Dali Temple, establishing a potential check and balance structure.

At the local level, a political system of "separation of powers" was clearly implemented, with the governor's yamen, Dali Temple, and Governor's Yuan, and the powers and responsibilities of provincial capitals and counties were clearly defined.

In terms of the administration of officials, Sun Chuanting used a huge amount of space to describe, revealing his firm determination everywhere.

Zhu Xu looked at it seriously, and slowly deliberated.

There is a "legal spirit" in Sun Chuanting's words, as if he wants to ask Ming Dynasty to operate according to the established rules, and he does not want any power to break the rules of this kind of words, and there are faint traces of restrictions on imperial power.

"This is testing me..."

Zhu Xu talked to himself, with a smile on his face, and continued to watch.

Regarding the various powers and responsibilities of the imperial court, Sun Chuanting made a clear analysis and confirmed them, but this kind of determination is more like a future arrangement.

He is still trying to expand his rights, and he wants to forcefully implement the "New Deal" on his own.

At the local level, Sun Chuanting asked the governor's yamen to hold power tightly and control the local area, but he also divided and implemented powers and responsibilities in the governor's yamen, magistrate's yamen, county government yamen and other departments to ensure that responsibilities are assigned to people, with the purpose of improving administrative efficiency.

This is obviously because of the changes made after talking with these governors to prevent the excessive concentration of power in the governor's office and implement the administrative subject.

Zhu Xu watched carefully, and from time to time recorded something with a charcoal pen in the small notebook beside him. These were his feedback to Sun Chuanting, and he wanted to revise and improve this speech.
