Compared with the rough governance of the warrior Liu Tingjie, Zhang Guowei can be said to be much more meticulous.
First of all, he demanded that Wan Lian, the prefect of the naturalized city, establish six prefecture offices within a short period of time and carry out a policy of separating cities and districts for the entire naturalized city.
That is to say, the market and the residential area are separated and cannot be crossed at will. After all, Guihua City is too special, with a mixture of fish and dragons, and must be separated to prevent it from being infiltrated and collapsed.
The Governor-General's Office made a bold effort to collect land statistics in Guihua City, surveyed suitable arable land, and carried out large-scale farming with Guihua City as the center.
As for the source of the farmers, they were naturally the border soldiers and border people from various tribes who fled to the grasslands. They were all screened out and the yamen spent money to redeem them.
The first strategy did not work, but the latter strategy made the hundreds or thousands of Mongolian households who had gone shopping in the past two days and were in urgent need of inventory suddenly burst into laughter and called the governor wise, initially establishing the reputation of the governor's office.
Just like this, most of the silver coins that had been put into the warehouse a few days ago were gone in the blink of an eye. Wan Lian was so anxious that his mouth blistered and he got angry.
"The Taiwanese are just some slaves. Just let the Tatars hand them over. Why spend money to redeem them?"
Wan Lian was puzzled, and his words were taken for granted.
"Now that the Mongols have been incorporated into Monanxingdusi and have been awarded officials, how can they plunder at will?"
Zhang Guowei looked calm and said casually: "Integrity is important in doing business, not to mention that we represent the face of the court."
Wan Lian was dumbfounded and helpless, and blurted out: "These Tatars fear power but not virtue. These are just useless efforts..."
"It's useless? Just watch!"
Zhang Guowei shook his head slightly, with a smile on his lips.
But the neglected rectification of the market has made the merchants of the entire Guihua City anxious.
Because the prefect's Yamen announced that because Guihua City is a mixed bag, in addition to operating in the prescribed places, it is also necessary to restrict the land for shops.
That is, the monopoly system.
Businessmen need to purchase land in Guihua City before they can trade, and the number of land quotas is limited.
Each acre of land is priced at one thousand silver dollars, and the same company can only buy up to five companies to avoid monopoly.
What's even more amazing is that this is sold once a year, not forever.
For businessmen, they not only need to pay taxes, but also purchase land as a stepping stone to naturalize and do business.
If it was a few days ago, the businessmen would have ignored it and turned around and left. But after tasting the sweetness these days, they couldn't bear to part with it.
Because in Guihua City, it is really huge profits.
Whether it is war horses or furs, they are both in short supply, and if you change hands, the profit will be tenfold.
An ordinary horse can be bought for two or three tea cakes in Guihua City, and the cost is only two or three taels of silver. If it is resold to Datong, it will cost twenty taels, Taiyuan will cost thirty taels, and when it arrives in the Central Plains, it will cost five or sixty taels. .
This profit is more terrifying than selling salt.
It's a pity that the merchants worked on their own. Merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi rushed to buy. In the blink of an eye, the treasury had an extra 100,000 silver coins.
"There is finally hope for the reconstruction of Guihua City."
Zhang Guowei showed a happy smile.
"The Taiwanese maker is really a genius!" Wan Lian couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said sincerely: "Commercial tax plus the income from land sales, Guihua City is worthy of its name."
"This strategy was secretly given to me by His Majesty before he left. I don't dare to take credit rashly."
Zhang Guowei stroked his beard and sighed: "Your Majesty is a talent given by God."
The two looked at each other, smiled, and admired together.
With these start-up funds, Monan Xingdusi's city construction speed was accelerated in vain, and Shanxi's burden was suddenly reduced.
However, the General Affairs Department received many memorials to impeach Zhang Guowei, and Shaanxi and Shanxi had the most officials.
At this time, the large-scale northward migration team finally arrived at Tianjin Wei.
Zhu Yixi was in high spirits during the Mid-Autumn Festival on the boat.
He looked at the stack of memorials in front of him and said with a smile: "It is very difficult to be an official in the country."
"As long as you do something, there will inevitably be mistakes. As the saying goes, if you don't do it, you won't make a mistake. If you do it, you will definitely make a mistake. If things go on like this, it will inevitably lead to many mediocre officials."
"The imperial court has become a decoration and can't do anything."
The three cabinet members were silent.
This is an unspoken rule in officialdom, and the three of them know it well.
Not only in the Ming Dynasty, as long as bureaucrats appeared, they appeared in all countries in the world and never disappeared.
"However, it seems that Zhang Guowei has done well and Monan is suitable for him."
"Your Majesty is still a saint!" Yan Chongxin said with a smile: "His Majesty also discovered a person like him."
"This flattery is a bit harsh, Bachelor Yan, you still need to improve!"
"Your Majesty said so."
For a moment, the atmosphere became relaxed. The monarch and his ministers smiled, and all these impeachments were ignored.
"Let Shanxi deport 100,000 shi from the autumn grain for naturalization. In addition, the Commercial Tax Department will return all this year's commercial taxes to Monan. It is not that easy to manage the Mongols."
Zhu Yixi said casually that the emperor at this time was no longer as stingy as before, but seemed very generous.
Obviously, he attaches extraordinary importance to the place Monan.
"How about the Chahar Division? Can this kid Abu Nai lead the Chahar Division anyway?"
As we get closer and closer to Beijing, the Chahar Department outside Xuanfu becomes increasingly important, and no mistakes are allowed.
"The Chahar Ministry has become more disciplined in the Xuanfu's words. I guess it's the result of Abu Nai's control."
Zhao Shu opened his mouth and added credibility with just one thing.
"Then let's start in November, and take the first heavy snow as a signal."
The emperor thought about it and suddenly said: "It happens to snow, and the grassland will be all white by then. Even if Jiannu knows about it, he will not have the energy to quell the chaos."
"After a winter of consolidation, Abu Nai should be able to control the Chahar Department better."
Zhao Shu and the others looked at each other, but they all had no objections.
We discussed some local matters again.
As mentioned before, if something is done wrong, the local government likes to write to the court and want the cabinet ministers to give their opinions, especially when it comes to spending money.
For example, Hunan Province requires the construction of Gongyuan, and does not want to travel long distances to Wuchang Prefecture to take the provincial examination.
The Anhui government, on the other hand, was quite happy to go to Nanjing. Even the Anhui governor's office, chief secretary, general military office, and inspection department all returned to Nanjing at this time.
This makes the Jiangsu Governor's Yamen of Nanjing Yangzhou Prefecture very interested. Why can Anhui rely on Nanjing?
The imperial court was decisive in this regard and directly requested all yamen in Anhui to relocate to Luzhou Prefecture as soon as possible, but still allowed the provincial examinations in Anhui and Jiangsu provinces to be held in Jiangnan Gongyuan.
However, I hesitated for a while about the Hunan Provincial Gongyuan. After all, it costs money, and the Ministry of Revenue is not well off now.
In the end, the emperor made the final decision. He took out 10,000 silver coins from the internal funds, and ordered Hunan Province to raise the remaining amount from the private sector. He also required that brick walls must be built to prevent fires.
