Domineering Daming

In March of Yangchun, the winter snow gradually goes away, and the spring breeze comes slowly.

Zhang Guowei, Minister of the Ministry of War, accompanied Zhu Xu, and walked slowly from the Qianqing Palace to the cabinet.

Zhang Guowei followed Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has summarized the inspection situation of the military equipment last year and submitted it to the Emperor for review. Generally speaking, the staffing of the three war zones is full, and there are no false reports or missed reports. The training is also in accordance with the training manual." , there is no reduction. The soldiers are in full condition and high-spirited, and there is nothing wrong with it."

"Related weapons, armor, firearms, etc., are checked by the Ministry of War one by one. Although there are some problems, they are not serious. The Ministry of War has ordered rectification. Further sort out related manufacturing, procurement, transportation, storage, etc. to ensure safety, efficiency and practicality ..."

"In terms of logistics, the military payer focuses on checking whether there are deductions, arrears, kickbacks, fraudulent claims, etc. At present, except for the southern military region, which is somewhat opaque and needs to be checked, the other two problems are not serious."

"The daily necessities of the soldiers, such as bedding, winter clothes, military uniforms, tableware, etc., are managed by the logistics department. The ministers have carried out detailed inspections one by one. Relevant investigations and punishments will be dealt with in a typical manner..."

"The situation on the Japanese side is more complicated, and I feel deeply worried. Dorgon is raising thieves to be arrogant. There are 10 people in the recruit camp on Honguo Island in just two years, and these 10 people are still in the hands of Dorgon. , People who are loyal to me, Ming Dynasty, are being marginalized day by day..."

"Ryukyu, there are also some voices from North Korea, accusing Dorgon of deliberately driving away the victims, the old and the weak, women and children. There are also reports, saying that Dorgon carried out massacres in the Japanese country, and even used people to fill the sea and hoard Money and food, soldiers and armor, plotting against the law!"

"The Ministry of War in the navy has no right to intervene. I have already written to Governor Xiong, asking him to do a good job of checking and report to the Ministry of War for approval. Although the Ministry of War did not personally check, according to my understanding, the navy is relatively strict in all aspects, except for money and grain accounts. Not sure."

Zhang Guowei didn't list specific examples, they were all in the memorial book, and when he said it face to face, he had the attitude of a villain who put eye drops on people.

Zhu Xu recognized Zhang Guowei's ability to work. He walked around and said, "Well, this kind of inspection should be scheduled or not. We can't give those people outside the opportunity to cheat the court. The army is the strongest in my Ming Dynasty. Guarantee, ensure that it has sufficient combat power and combat power guarantee at any time!"

Zhang Guowei quickly responded, "Yes, I understand."

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, his fingers kept beating, and said: "For the time being, the Ministry of War will not care about the navy. Most of them are overseas. It is more troublesome to check. I will order Xiong Wencan and Tang Wang to do a good job of checking. As for Dorgon, I plan to take another look, don’t worry.”

Zhang Guowei naturally knew Zhu Xu's attitude towards Dorgon, but Dorgon was indeed a worry in Zhang Guowei's heart.

Seeing what Zhu Xu said, he naturally stopped talking.

Since Mr. Bi Ge entered Beijing and then left, the reputation of the Bi Department has increased. Some people seem to want to promote Zhang Guowei to join the cabinet, especially when the other three ministers are being adjusted.

This voice became a little stronger, which made Zhang Guowei a little uneasy, worried that Sun Chuanting would attack him.

Fortunately, two or three months into the Chinese New Year, Sun Chuanting has never done anything to suppress, which made Zhang Guowei feel relieved.

Zhu Xu went to the cabinet to preside over the imperial meeting.

At this meeting, the cabinet decided to officially launch a comprehensive land division, starting from Liaodong and advancing from north to south.

Although the land has not been confiscated yet, and there are still problems of one kind or another, the general trend has been achieved. The court only needs to follow the steps, and all resistance and pressure will not be a problem!

Chapter 1523 in full swing

Liaodong, hundreds of miles east of Shenyang.

A group of officials and dozens of people walked back and forth in the fields, until it was getting dark, and they came to a high slope, where the villages gathered.

Red bricks and green tiles, the house is neat and tidy, it is a standard three-story small building, and every house is not far apart.

The leading official came to the well, took a sip of cold water, wiped his mouth, looked at the dozens of people in front of him, and said, "Is there any problem?"

The people looked at him and at each other, but no one spoke.

The little official was not surprised either, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, he said, "You are the team leader, do you have anything to say?"

This is a middle-aged man, looking very simple and honest, he smiled and said: "No, no."

The little official frowned, sighed inwardly, with impatience on his face, and said: "Then let me say it again. The land here is all reclaimed and planted. The largest household here is seven people. The household has 22 mu of land, and I have identified them one by one just now. This year’s summer harvest will belong to you, and you will not have to pay taxes. These are shared by you and will be uniformly dispatched by the team leader."

"Your family may not be able to plant more than 20 acres of land. If you have to cooperate to plant it, you can't do it. Potatoes, soybeans, and sorghum can be planted. If you can't, you can plant fruit trees and melons. In short, it can't be abandoned. The court will be abandoned for two years. Forcibly take it back, remember."

"Okay, I talked too much today, and I'm going to take the next group tomorrow. Okay, don't come for dinner and gifts, and I have to go to jail if I report it. Besides, as long as you are good, I will There are bonuses to get, you give a lot. If there is anything, you or the team leader will come to the village to find me. If you can help, I will definitely help. After completing the task on your side, I will also be promoted and get rich. Okay, each of you should rest early. Familiar with each other, we will be neighbors from now on..."

As the little official said, he declined everyone's kindness, led the people, and left exhausted.

It was still difficult for everyone to accept all this, as if in a dream.

The group leader reacted quickly, coughed, and said: "Everyone is tired today, let's go back and clean up. Tomorrow night, the head of the family will come to my house. Let's get together, get to know each other, and talk about everyone's doubts." .”

Everyone hurriedly agreed, and went back to their houses with their families.

In the nearest family, as soon as five people entered the door and the child closed the door, the woman couldn't help crying, crying: "The head of the family, this is our home from now on?"

The man looked at the simple decoration, a few pieces of furniture, and the bags they brought, scattered on the ground, looking very bleak.

But the middle-aged man nodded heavily, and said: "Well, it's our family, Nier, now we have a house and land, so we don't have to be afraid anymore."

With a wow, the woman threw herself on the man and cried, crying heartbreakingly.

When the children saw it, they also hugged and cried.

The man put his arms around the family, gritted his teeth and refused to cry, but the tears couldn't stop flowing.

They farmed land for a big family in Jiangxi, and they couldn't even keep enough money to buy a piece of clothing all year round. The couple had to go to the big family's house to work as slaves and handmaids, and were bullied.

Now, they are free people, with land and houses, and their children can also take the imperial examination in the future!

Just as their family was crying, a shrill cry suddenly came from the next door: "The villain thanks the emperor for his virtue, and his sage!"

As soon as they shouted like this, the next door, not far away, shouted one after another, and the voices rang together.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the sound of the sleeping group reverberates, and the other places respond one after another, resounding through the sky.

In Shenyang Mansion, Cen Deyou, the magistrate, stood at the gate, looking at the dark sky, as if he heard those hysterical shouts, and said with a dazed expression: "Did you hear that? What is that sound?"

A county magistrate behind him said excitedly: "My lord, this is the voice of gratitude from the common people, resounding through the sky!"

Cen Deyou looked at the sky and said leisurely: "No, this is the voice of thousands of years, this is the voice of eternity, it has never existed before, and it will not be seen in the future. Everyone, we are not making achievements, but writing ancient history books!"

The group of people behind him shook their heads, their eyes were piercing, and there was an indescribable luster in their expressions.

Liaodong was the first to divide the land, an experimental field. With the accumulation of experience, the imperial court began to fully divide the land. The victims in Liaodong were the first to get the fields.

For the people who have no hope, no fields and no land, and struggle to survive, this is a great gift from heaven, and they can survive from despair!

During the process of land division, those officials seemed to have seen some kind of "grand event", and they were more excited, actively promoting the "New Deal" and implementing the cabinet's policies.

The number of surveying teams in the Ming court and localities has reached nearly ten thousand, and land surveying and revision are hot everywhere.

Household Registration Now who dares to play tricks, tenants and common people are scrambling to register and report hidden big households. It can be said that household registration is more busy than measuring land.

The reforms of the Ming Dynasty were full of uproar, and it was difficult for outsiders to distinguish clearly.

However, with the "[-] million silver" plan of the imperial court, not only some domestic potentials were activated, but also the sea trade surged rapidly, coupled with the continuous blood transfusion overseas, a false appearance of "wealth" appeared in Ming Dynasty. The land was exchanged for money, the business atmosphere gradually increased, and there were "signs of ZTE", which inspired the entire Ming Dynasty.

By this time, whether it was public opinion or the support of the government and the opposition, the reformists had already gained an absolute upper hand.

Sun Chuanting faced a tsunami-like wave of opposition, but at certain times, he was able to respond to all calls, and followers gathered.
