"It is indeed something we did not expect to have such a result."
"We thought that with your arrangement, Dasun, not to mention chaos in the government and the public, it would not be more efficient than my diligent governance."
"The current results tell us that according to Da Sun's method, the officials in the entire capital suddenly became extremely energetic, and those ministers who seemed useless in the past can actually play their role. "
"This is something we never thought could be so simple."
Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was full of regret.
The feeling the capital gave him now was a bit too exaggerated.
Zhu Ying has been running around everywhere this month, and Zhu Yuanzhang is naturally not idle either. Almost all the Jin Yiwei are dispatched to closely inquire about the officials' situation.
Zhu Yuanzhang is even ready to wipe his ass at any time.
Now, let alone wiping my butt, the whole top and bottom are just wiped clean.
It was just a seven-day report, and all the officials' minds were really focused on government affairs.
According to the requirements of Dasun, every official's seven-day report must be guaranteed for at least one year, and even for those who are in the fourth rank, it must be maintained for a long time.
The key to official promotion is to submit seven-day reports for the past year to the supervisory department for review before being eligible for promotion.
In the past, the promotion of officials was basically decided by the superiors in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. With so many officials, it was naturally impossible to report them all to His Majesty.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang had really grasped these before, so his daily workload was very heavy.
The current supervisory departments are almost all separate official systems established separately from the six ministries.
Naturally, this is a humane society, and it cannot be said that problems will not arise in the future, but for now it is relatively clean. After all, it is just the beginning, and everyone's original intentions are still good.
This is why the current stage is extremely effective.
"Grandpa, this is also a lazy way I came up with after you forced me to have no other choice."
"These daily memorials, even if my grandson has tried his best to reduce them, still take up too much time every day. As a result, he can't get anything done when he is entangled in government affairs."
"As the leader of a country, he doesn't even have any leisure time for himself every day. My grandson can persevere, but among the kings of future generations, there will inevitably be slackers."
"Instead of making the entire Ming Dynasty a mess later, it is better to find a way early on how to get rid of this cumbersome government affairs."
"My grandson has thought carefully in his mind that these powers related to people's livelihood, even if they are all below, those ministers holding these powers cannot threaten the throne."
"When my grandson's time is free, he will have more opportunities to control the military power. The problems in the Ming Dynasty will be concentrated on the Department of Public Security."
"The Statistics Department is responsible for verifying the taxation, economy, and people's livelihood conditions in various official areas."
"Anyway, if you can't do it well, then go down. If you can do it well, then go up."
"The military power is in our hands. Even the county's soldiers are in the hands of the Public Security Department. If this is done, we will be able to stabilize ourselves."…
"Our Ming Dynasty's products are extremely popular all over the world. If this continues, the entire Ming Dynasty will of course become more and more prosperous. And the kings of future generations, even if they are greedy for pleasure, will not have a great impact on the Ming Dynasty. turmoil."
Zhu Ying explained in a logical manner.
In Zhu Ying's mind, the emperor really couldn't be too busy. If he was too busy, there would definitely be problems in the entire country.
And who can learn from a model worker like the old man?
Even if you have this idea, you can't physically bear it.
Even the cheap old prince Zhu Biao has a frail body, which is inseparable from the heavy workload.
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he looked at Zhu Ying with bright eyes.
He laughed loudly and said, "Okay, great grandson, this is
It's even more powerful than us. "
"This Ming Dynasty will definitely become more powerful in your hands from now on, so I can rest assured."
"In the future, we won't be too lazy to take care of the affairs in the court, so we can enjoy some peace and quiet."
Facts have proved that Da Sun's method is extremely feasible, and the overall efficiency is much higher than before.
Zhu Yuanzhang is actually not a workaholic. As an emperor, who wants to be busy every day? People always have to do something of their own.
It’s just that Ming Dynasty had just been established, and there were too many things that needed to be handled personally.
In the past ten years or so, for example, Hu Weiyong's power had not yet been concentrated in Zhu Yuanzhang's own hands.
Behind them are various politics, as well as the vassal king and the Huaixi Xungui Group.
At present, these problems, let alone being completely solved, are no longer a major concern for Zhu Yuanzhang.
And with Da Sun constantly operating, it will be completely eradicated in a few years.
.....
Morning a few days later.
After several days of preparation, Zhu Ying announced the basic national policy of the Ming Dynasty for the next three years.
The first one is to encourage childbirth.
People are fundamental.
The current population of more than 60 million is far from enough for the entire Ming Dynasty.
Only with a larger population can Ming Dynasty become more prosperous.
In terms of encouraging childbirth, Zhu Ying first proposed tax reduction and exemption policies.
Within a household, those who give birth to more than three children will enjoy certain preferential treatment in terms of taxes, and the local government will provide corresponding support.
Such as arranging work and ensuring certain living expenses.
The household registration statistics of new births will be calculated on the merits of officials in various places. If the population growth within the jurisdiction is too slow, they will be held accountable.
[Currently used, this is the most comprehensive and best-used book-listening sound system. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines with over 100 kinds of sounds, and also supports offline reading.
Then the nitrogen is fixed in the soil, and when the next crop is planted, the fertility of the land increases.
This kind of experience is not implemented by all farmers.
Only a small number of farmers have mastered this method.
Zhu Ying wants to popularize the specific methods here to all farmers.
What I said before is a rough idea, it sounds relatively simple, but it actually belongs to the principle that the five elements are mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other.
This also needs to be adjusted for crops with different climates in each place.
This kind of wisdom that China has accumulated over thousands of years will naturally be spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Regarding this aspect, Zhu Xi is naturally responsible.
The third item is to build water conservancy projects.
Water conservancy construction benefits the country and the people and is a long-term foundation.
At this point, Zhu Ying used a large sum of money from the treasury as a special fund, and the Qunying Chamber of Commerce took the lead to carry out water conservancy construction throughout the Ming Dynasty.
This is also the top priority for the Ministry of Industry in the next ten or even ten years.
This time's water conservancy construction is not only limited to counties and prefectures, but also radiates to towns and villages.
Especially in areas with good planting conditions for rice, it is necessary to vigorously promote it.
Article 4 is about economics and trade.
The first thing to bear the brunt is naturally maritime trade. Zhu Ying wants to build a maritime trade special zone and encourage the development of the shipbuilding industry. Not only government officials but also private shipbuilding must be supported.
In terms of support, first of all, on top of taxes, great preferential policies will be given in the early stage of shipbuilding, and then certain preferential policies will also be given including the land used for shipbuilding.
The navy also regularly goes out to sea to conduct patrols and protect against pirates.
However, no pirates are allowed to exist in the waters surrounding the Ming Dynasty, and all efforts must be concentrated to destroy them.
As for the navy, Zhu Ying also began to increase its military expenditures, including firearms and other armament support. ….
The four basic national policies are the basis for development from the 27th year of Hongwu to the 30th year of Hongwu.
All officials and local government offices must support and develop this.
The four major national policies were published in the Capital Newspaper at the same time and spread throughout China and abroad.
Under the four major national policies, there are naturally many development directions.
For example, the spread of education.
The first is the spread of Mandarin.
The current Ming Dynasty Mandarin is almost equivalent to the Mandarin of later generations, and Zhu Ying's requirement is that all teachers must use Mandarin when teaching students.
At this point, it's not too difficult.
Because all scholars are rushing to obtain fame, and learning Mandarin is also the most basic requirement.
Otherwise, if you arrive in the capital and cannot understand the official dialect, how can you become an official?
In addition to unifying Mandarin, there is also the construction of schools in various places.
According to Zhu Ying's latest decree, teaching schools must be built wherever more than 500 households gather.
In the Ming Dynasty, boys and girls over the age of six must enter the school for five years of basic learning.
The direction of learning is of course not about the Four Books and Five Classics, but mainly about some basic learning.
The textbooks were compiled by the Hanlin Academy, and then modified under Zhu Ying's guidance.
Aimed at children’s learning enlightenment.
It includes some basic algorithms, classical Chinese analysis, Mandarin recitation, basics of Ming Dynasty law, historical overview, and ideological education courses.
Zhu Ying attaches great importance to ideological education.
At the age of six, it is the time to establish the three views, and spreading the idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism at this period has extremely far-reaching significance for the growth of future children.
The basic algorithm is to allow these children to live a better life, and the analysis of classical Chinese can be considered to understand some Ming culture.
The historical overview is to tell the children how today's life has come from.
I can't help but wonder how much suffering the Central Plains Dynasty has endured.
The law is to let them know from a young age that they should abide by the laws and not easily violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
If you do something evil, you must know what consequences are waiting for you.
These requirements apply not only to the children of ordinary families, but also to the sons of local tyrants, squires, and nobles, who must also study together in the school.
Cannot enjoy any special treatment.
Only those who have completed five years of compulsory education can be qualified to take the child examination.
Children who enter school have lunch provided by the school, or they can bring their own lunch, which reduces a lot of burden for many poor families.
After graduation, at the age of eleven or twelve, many have to start helping with the household chores.
Studying for five years won’t be a waste.
Population, education.
It is the main theme of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Ying once wanted to push away the landlord class so that imperial power could reach the people directly.
But they found that the difficulty was really unimaginable, and the success rate was too low.
Only by developing people's wisdom can people not be stupid and know who they should be loyal to.
It has been said since ancient times that those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
The public sentiment in these words does not refer to the common people.
During the Han Dynasty, this popular sentiment referred to major aristocratic families.
During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, this popular sentiment was referring to the major vassals and towns.
In the early Ming Dynasty, the public sentiment was referring to the landlords and gentry of all walks of life.
What Zhu Ying wants to do, for a long time to come, is to truly win over the people's hearts and minds.
If the Ming Dynasty had the support of millions of people, could it have been overthrown in just three hundred years?
I still remember that in the later generations of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded, few people stood up to support the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Even when the fleet of the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered, there were even cheers from the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Things like this may sound ridiculous, but they really illustrate the status of the people in the Central Plains dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang is different, and Zhu Ying is even more different.
And changes of this level naturally start from childhood.
Only then will Zhu Ying's plans for the future have a real chance of success. .
