Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Li Zheng and Jia Chang are also the village chiefs and team leaders.

This is in order to control the people to the maximum extent, and also to give a guarantee to the injured soldiers who followed him in the battle!

By appeasing the soldiers, Zhu Youjian has the power to dominate the world!

Zhu Youjian issued an edict dividing the officialdom into 36 levels. The nine-rank official system remained unchanged and became the upper ninth rank.

The officials below who were originally not in the upper ranks were also divided into nine ranks, namely the lower ninth rank.

The Li Zheng (village chief) of each li is a ninth-grade official, and the Jia Chang (team leader) is a subordinate ninth-grade official.

There is a market in every twenty villages, and the location of the market is a township.

Township chiefs and town chiefs are officials of the seventh rank, and below them there are several minor officials from the seventh rank, the eighth rank... and the ninth rank.

In the county government, except for the county magistrate, county magistrate, and chief minister, the rest of the officials, six departments, Yamen, and Jingcheng... are all classified as civil servants.

The official title is below the fourth rank at the county level.

The prefectural level is below the third rank, the provincial level is below the second rank, and the capital is below the first rank.

At the same time, it is stipulated that if an official reaches the third rank, he can take the assessment, become an official, and reach the upper ninth rank.

As soon as this regulation came out, the officials who were originally not in the upper class suddenly gained a level, and they had a way to become an official that could not be crossed by the original officials...

Originally, once one became an official, there was no chance of becoming an official again.

With their upward path cut off, apart from corruption and bending the law, where else can they have any political pursuits?

Now, Zhu Youjian gives them a chance to fight!

A smooth ascending channel is the way to long-term peace and stability!

This is a sharp knife that Zhu Youjian buried for Confucianism and Taoism!

At the same time, these people who serve as officials are soldiers who are unable to fight after being injured in battle and recovering.

This is compensation for the soldiers.

It was also a subversion of Confucian scholars’ mastery of the imperial examination.

……

These humble officials are not only Zhu Youjian's control over the people, but also his guarantee for the soldiers.

After this move, soldiers will no longer be afraid of being injured - because they have nothing to worry about!

People's land is no longer afraid of being plundered and forcibly annexed by the gentry - because the officials are all warriors in the army.

As for whether these wounded soldiers will become rich and whether they will become new types of landlords...

As long as the assessment is strict, and at the same time, every few years, the wounded soldiers are rearranged and their positions are replaced...

With military power in hand, none of this is a problem!

This is the Dog Emperor's plan to kill three birds with one stone...

Zhu Youjian believes that in just three to five years, the gentry's control over the world will plummet!

By then, everyone will become the strongest supporter of the Ming Dynasty's national policy, whether it is among the people or the officialdom.

Maintaining a comprehensive, reasonable, and smooth upward channel is the only magic weapon for a country's long-term stability!

……

The emperor's move of allocating land made the refugees who got the land weep with joy.

For a time, each immigrant village named their village "Huang'en Village", "Guo'en Village", "Halloween Village", "Xinsheng Village"... and so on, one by one to express their gratitude.

Every household has a memorial tablet for the emperor's longevity at home, and kowtows to the old man in the morning and evening to thank him.

The hearts and minds of the people condensed into a rope in an instant!

Zhu Youjian's prestige around Pengjia Town is unparalleled!

……

The news that the emperor had allocated land seemed to have grown wings. In just five days, it flew out of Nanyang and swept in all directions.

Millions of refugees who can only survive every day waiting for government relief cry with joy.

If the emperor previously deployed old farmers to promote and plant the new crop of sweet potatoes in Laoshizi, the people at that time had only opened a crack in their dead hearts.

At this time, Zhu You's move to divide the land was to make this group of people who had already given up hope come back to life again!

They - saw the hope of life!

Endless refugees were kneeling outside the city, crying uncontrollably:

“It’s sunny!

It’s sunny! "

The emperor distributed the land. Although only a small number of people benefited from it, there was hope for life!

For the first time, the eyes of the numb refugees showed the light of hope for the future!

……

The news of the emperor's division of lands spread further and further, and refugees from all over the country came to Nanyang in great numbers.

Ye County alone reports that the influx of refugees every day exceeds 2!

……

Officials will arrange the registration and creation of books, and naturally the emperor does not need to do it himself.

Zhu Youjian has rushed back to Guanghua.

News came from Bi Maokang that the hydraulic machine has been built!

Even the factory buildings on the small islands in the river have been completed.

……

Standing on the Guanghua Laohekou Pier, you can clearly see the rows of houses and towering chimneys on the two islands.

Just as the wheat on the hillside was beginning to be harvested, Zhu Youjian took Ni Yuanlu across the river by boat.

"Your Majesty, I'm ready, and we're just waiting for the official start of work!"

On the east side of the island, on a simple dock built of logs.

The 80-year-old Bi Maoliang, walking with a breeze, was overjoyed and told the good news to the emperor again.

"Good! Good!"

Zhu Youjian laughed loudly: "Old Qing's family is growing stronger and stronger. It's my luck! It's the country's luck!"

Zhu Youjian grabbed Bi Maokang and Bi Maoliang's hands covered with age spots, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude.

Two octogenarian old people, they were able to enjoy their old age comfortably with their grandchildren, but they are still working hard for this country!

This is the person who deserves the most gratitude!

……

The factory building is divided into two parts with the embankment as the boundary.

The large water tanker near the river is connected to a hydraulic press.

The factory buildings near the inside of the island all have large chimneys erected. It is obvious that these are blast furnaces used for smelting.

Zhu Youjian took steps towards the factory building built of logs.

I saw a large row of wooden piles whose surface had been carbonized by flames and driven into the river, fixing the embankment.

The shallow water area on the shore was dug into deep water area one person deep.

The river is flowing fiercely!

There are ten large waterwheels erected on the riverside, set up on the water, with fan blades extending into the river.

The Han River is the largest tributary of the Yangtze River and its water flows continuously all year round.

The river water drives the fan blades and drives the stamping machine next to the waterwheel. The stamping head is roaring non-stop.

Seeing the emperor's arrival, Bi Maokang immediately raised the foot lever on the ground with his own hands. Like a punch press, the punching head that kept going up and down came to an abrupt stop.

"Your Majesty, according to the drawings you gave me, I tinkered with this stamping machine.

I discovered that this thing is much larger than human power! "

As he spoke, he shouted to his eldest disciple Zhang Jimeng:

"Quick, Xiao Zhang, demonstrate it yourself and let His Majesty see it!"

After yelling at his eldest disciple, Bi Maokang continued to explain:

"After I and my brother came here, they made the stamping machine as soon as possible, and specially asked the craftsmen to start experiments immediately."
