"Your family, the first thing you need to do after you take office as the governor of Henan is to prepare for the establishment of the Henan Disaster Relief Administration as soon as possible."

Emperor Chongzhen looked serious and looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "The current administration of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom is very bad. Even if I want to rectify the administration of the Ming Dynasty, it is not possible to do it day and night.

After all, this is a chronic disease that has gradually accumulated and formed since the late Wanli Dynasty.

Reorganizing the administration is a complicated matter. It requires a lot of energy to be devoted not only to the court, but also to the local government.

Therefore, the Qing family must first have a group of reliable personnel to help you understand Henan and know what problems exist in Henan, so that you can prescribe the right medicine.”

Sun Chuanting nodded slightly to express his approval.

Facts have proved that Emperor Chongzhen set up a special disaster relief office in the court and planned a disaster relief administration office in the local area, which indeed helped the court solve many problems.

Like the governor of Zhili, the governor of Shandong, the governor of Shandong, the governor of Liaodong, the governor of Shanxi, the governor of Shanxi, and the governor of Shaanxi, Chen Qiyu, the governor of Shaanxi, they successively set up disaster relief administrations under the rule of local governments, gathering a group of scholars who have no hope of the imperial examination or are unwilling to be in the imperial examination, and they have indeed made many achievements.

event.

This group of scholars did not experience the corruption of the officialdom, so they did not have all the bad habits of the Ming officials, such as lazy and negligent government, using power for personal gain, etc.

Otherwise, this group of scholars would not have endured hardships and went to the grassroots to do all kinds of heavy chores.

In grassroots practice, tempering and fighting, cultivating a sense of collective honor, enhancing cohesion, and establishing values ​​are the core ideas that Emperor Chongzhen clarified to these local disaster relief agencies.

Emperor Chongzhen also knew very well.

As time goes by, when batches of people passed through local disaster relief agencies, the groups that were briefly promoted officially entered the Ming Dynasty's career and started from the bottom of the officials, then a group of people would inevitably be corrupted. These are objective

The fact that exists, after all, people will become.

The big waves wash away the sand and the waves wash away all the time.

Emperor Chongzhen also firmly believed in his heart that those talents who insist on ethics and beliefs could shoulder heavier burdens in the future to promote the innovation of the Ming Dynasty.

"After clarifying these things, the Qing family will select a group of reliable people, secretly collect vassals from all over the country, and occupy land in various prefectures and counties in Henan."

Emperor Chongzhen continued: "The current taxes levy that the state dynasty levy every year are not enough for the court. After all, the court spent too much food and salary.

In the past year, I have not allocated part of the treasury, and ordered the Ministry of Revenue and the inner court to issue bonds to the outside world with official fields and imperial fields as anchors, but I am afraid that the treasury will be overdrawn long ago.

If the treasury is really overdrawn, there will inevitably be people in the court, and the three major salaries will be re-approved.

And I will never do this evil policy that damages the roots of the country, harms the people, and fatens a group of corrupt officials!"

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, the act of levying Liao pay, the training pay, and the suppression of pay were evil policies.

Even if the amount of money was paid to the local government, the court could get a small part of what it could get, and most of them were intercepted by officials at all levels.

Emperor Chongzhen will not do anything about drinking poison to quench thirst.

Since the third year of Chongzhen, once the treasury is empty, it will often pay Liao salary and other matters. With the deliberate downplay of Emperor Chongzhen, it has never been done.

After all, the local people under the Ming Dynasty lived a hard life that day.

Almost breathless.

If they ignore their lives and death, they will pay Liao pay, train pay, and suppress pay, which is really a big frustration for local people, and they will create a rebellion in various places. This is something that Emperor Chongzhen would never want to see.

"Does Your Majesty want to search the land under the names of various vassals in Henan?" Sun Chuanting frowned slightly and said, "If this is the case, it will cause a lot of storm in the local area."

Emperor Chongzhen said with a firm look: "It cannot be said to be a search, but to re-establish the occupied official fields under the jurisdiction of Henan, and re-create the fish scale book.

I want your family to fight a lawsuit with the vassal branches in various places under the rule of Henan, so that all the official fields that already belong to the court will be returned to the control of the court.

In addition, all the land that violates the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty and invades local people must be taken back one by one and re-issued to those victims.

If this matter can be done well, not to mention how much land tax it can increase for the court, it can be guaranteed to be self-sufficiency under Henan's rule, right?"

The vassal groups in various parts of the Ming Dynasty occupied land in their respective vassal areas very severely. Emperor Chongzhen could not make any moves to truly reduce these vassals.

The serious land annexation trend in the Ming Dynasty must be cracked down. If it cannot be curbed, the intensified contradictions and problems will only become more serious in the future.

Taking advantage of the gradual stability of the current situation, a series of combined punches such as internal reductions, blows, and differentiation will also be launched.

The Ming Dynasty vassal group was the first to be affected!

After all, their identities are special and they belong to the Imperial Ming clan. If they really want to take restrictive measures against the vassals or even divest their property, it will not cause a counterattack from the civil servants.

Not to mention the groups of scholars, gentry, landlords and other groups gathered behind the civil servant group, after all, they do not belong to the same class.

Seeing that the emperor was so determined, Sun Chuanting hurriedly bowed and replied, "I will do my best to do this!"

"It's not about doing your best, it's about."

Emperor Chongzhen said seriously: "Don't be afraid of those vassals. With me behind your back, they can't cause any storm.

If you really dare to do something in a good way, then the three camps I have rectified are not vegetarians!

What's more, the acquisition of the official land under Henan will involve another new policy that is ready to be implemented. I will abolish the C tax in the future and spread the C tax equally into the land tax and collect it uniformly to improve the one-whip method.

The official land under the jurisdiction of Henan is the responsibility of trial implementation in the future. Whenever problems are encountered at that time, we must try to solve the problem and improve the policy of dives to earn acres."

Sun Chuanting's face changed slightly.

What Emperor Chongzhen said about digging into the mu did make Sun Chuanting a little scared. If this matter was spread, it would inevitably arouse a lot of opposition.

After all, if you really want to do this, the more land you own, the more tax you will pay. On the contrary, the same is true. Even if you don’t have land, you won’t have to pay taxes anymore.

"Your family should not make any statements about the matter of dives being invested in the acres."

Emperor Chongzhen walked forward, patted Sun Chuanting on the arm and said, "The people under the Ming Dynasty have lived too hard, and I want to reduce the burden on them."

At the same time, all the taxes that the State Council should collect will be collected.

Don't do this for the time being until the investigation of the vassals in Henan and the occupation of land is clear.

The reason why I talked to the Qing family is to let the Qing family know that there are many things that need to be done if the Ming Dynasty wants to revive and change, and most of them are imminent."

"I obey the order!"

Sun Chuanting immediately bowed and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best to do all these things well, share your worries and concerns for the country."
