Those who work hard govern others; those who work hard govern others.
There is no absolute fairness in any distribution model, but there is no relative fairness in any distribution system.
The reason why the feudal dynasty can operate lies in the connection of the ascending channels. The channels do not need to be too wide, but as long as they are not narrowed or closed, the dynasty can continue to operate.
After hearing the words, everyone present lowered their heads.
"Boy, let's be honest, I don't have the brains like you!" Xia Abacus blushed slightly.
At this moment, he still didn't understand what the problem was, but how to solve it, his brain really didn't know. This was not a problem with his butt, but because he couldn't keep up with his thinking.
If you really let him do it, it will probably go in the opposite direction, so it is better to leave everything to the equation.
There was no problem with the plan, so he moved it directly to avoid wasting that time and effort.
"Work-for-relief, stimulated by thirteen million taels of silver, has transformed from a blueprint on a piece of paper into a pie that can be imagined and touched!"
"No one can eat the whole piece of cake. Even if the one in the palace holds it in his hand, he will still be plotted over time."
“Rather than being plotted against in the future, it’s better to step aside and exchange money for support!”
"Did the Ministry of Household Affairs spend 13 million taels, deduct the long-term unprofitable projects, and use the rest to make a big deal, and raise funds from the royal family and nobles, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the internal treasury would calculate the money one to three, and the royal family would , the money of powerful people is calculated one to two, ordinary officials record it one to one, the shares will be divided after actual payment, and the dividends will be distributed in proportion after there is output!"
"At the local level, we will open a mid-term market with the county as a unit, calculate the needs of the county's projects, and allocate 40 to 50% of the funds from the market. The remaining local warriors, rich men, and Zong families will supplement the funds. The project will be handed over to the local management to make money. After that, it will still be distributed according to proportion, and the dividends that should be paid will be paid and the dividends that should be distributed will be distributed!"
"Specifically, when it comes to the inn, we will open a small market to expand and manage things in the inn in the future!"
"After completing all this, we can at least leverage the financial resources of tens of millions of taels of silver from the public. In addition, everyone will have a share in the future, so there is no need to consider enthusiasm!"
What is operation?
This is operations. Projects that have been cut off due to insufficient funds and conflicts arising from uneven distribution are no longer problems.
We have truly achieved that those who have money contribute money and those who have the strength to contribute.
Although it is still not absolutely fair, the bottom class no longer gets nothing. The contributions and benefits are relatively balanced, and everyone is taken care of.
"The framework is complete, but it still needs supervision. There is a record keeping department at the top, but there is still one missing link below. After all, it is a dilemma that all dynasties face when it is difficult for the imperial power to go to the countryside!"
Xia Abacus said nothing and continued to ask, "What are you going to do about this?"
"Based on 30 million taels, how long will the newly built roads in the whole territory be after all are implemented?" Fang Fang asked instead without answering.
"Today, based on 13 million taels, projects with no direct output will cost about 6 million taels. The remaining 7 million taels can probably build more than 8,300 miles of roads and expand 390 inns! "
Xia Abacus said while doing mental calculations, "If you follow your plan, more than 30,000 miles of new roads can be built within three years, involving the expansion of 800 inns!"
Road construction mainly consumes manpower and food rations, and materials are obtained locally. There is no shortage of mountains in the whole territory of Wu Dynasty, and there are not many comprehensive new roads. The main thing is to widen and strengthen the original roads.
"If I remember correctly, the Wu Dynasty did not have a dedicated road maintenance or patrol team, right?" Fang Fang looked at Li Yannian.
Li Yannian told him about the military system of the Wu Dynasty, so he naturally asked Li Yannian to prove it.
"Indeed, there are no roads. Each county is responsible for the roads. However, due to financial constraints, the actual road construction fell on the caravans and nearby villages." Li Yannian said.
"Everyone who is doing business knows that most of the road bandits are raised by families. Before the framework is established, the money also falls into their own pockets. But after the framework is established, the road bandits will seize everyone's money!" Fang Fang said with a smile.
In ancient times of peace, bandits and road bullies were never a social problem.
Yeluzi can only be arrogant for a few days, and the domestic ones are the mainstream, and the real leaders are more or less related to the local authorities.
"We all understand the truth. There is no need to reveal it. We should establish a bandit-suppressing horse team in the county as a unit to clean up bandits and road bullies. The supervisor will be transferred from the Nine Guards and the personnel will be from the participating investment families. We don't need too many people. Three or four hundred people are enough. Equipped with ordnance and horses, they will be trained according to the cavalry, and they will be given the promotion treatment of regular soldiers. They will be promoted every three to five years. Those with excellent results can be admitted to the third battalion and the ninth guard, or they may be recommended to participate in the imperial examination!"
The three battalions were at the court and the nine guards were at the side. They were the core military units of the Wu Dynasty.
Warriors are adept at martial arts. Those who are high-ranking officials of the fifth rank or above in the court have the experience of commanding three battalions and nine guards before joining the officialdom. Those who are above the third rank have served in mid-level military positions.
This rule turned into an invisible ceiling in the Wu Dynasty, just like in the Ming Dynasty, no one could enter the Imperial Academy, and no one could serve as a cabinet minister. No one said it out loud, but everyone had to follow this rule.
This set of equations completed the cleanup of banditry and road maintenance, and at the same time opened a path for the lower-level clans to jump.
But how to do it? Is the road to upward really open?
If open!
But whether it is opened or not, at least I hope it is given, then there is no need to worry about the military discipline, combat power, and business capabilities of this unit.
"Three or four hundred people were not many in the early stage, but in the later stage there will be more people!"
Li Yannian knew military affairs and the Wu Dynasty. The Wu Dynasty army lacked nothing, but what it lacked overall was military merit that would allow civilians to complete a class jump.
"More is better!"
Xia Abacus shook his head and said, "The more people there are, the more people will follow. Boy Fang is talking about promotion treatment, not regular soldier treatment. Once the military expenses are done, we won't need to pay, so we'd rather have more than less!"
Hearing this, Lao Pu burst into laughter, "He is indeed the reincarnation of the abacus master. He may not be able to make money, but he can definitely save money!"
He also heard the loopholes in Fang Fang's words, but he didn't react.
Compared with the three people who laughed together, the Li brothers were completely confused. They wanted to be soldiers, but they didn't want to pay for the work. They realized that this may be the difference between the big guys and these little soldiers.
"Supervision from top to bottom, as long as the treatment of regular soldiers remains unchanged, the distribution framework will be stable within four to fifty years. As for what can be stimulated, it depends on how to supplement the rules. Of course, more information can be revealed in the early stage, and things cannot be too urgent. It seems that this inspection team will be built for half a year first, and it will not be too late to build it after the Song people launch an attack in the second half of the year!"
Some policies need to be kept secret, and some policies need to be publicized. Different situations require different responses.
For promotions like this, it's best to hang them for a while. As long as you don't hang them, the effect is often better than giving them directly.
