"They can think of such a good method!"
After Zhu Yijun learned about Shen Jing's lot-drawing purchase restriction law from Li Zhi's memorial, he said with a smile.
"What the emperor said is that this method coincides with the method that the emperor plans to use after the bureaucrats know that the people are not easy to bully."
Zhang Yue said with a smile at this time.
Zhu Yijun said: "It shows that it's not that they are unintelligent or that they don't know what to do to be fair. It just depends on whether they are willing or not."
"That's what the emperor said."
Zhu Yijun said: "Publish the decree and promote the method proposed by Li Zhi, so that all the chief ministers in the world can use this method."
"yes!"
Then, Zhu Yijun told Zhang Yue: "As for those who committed crimes, let the three law divisions deal with them according to the law and give the correct punishment."
Because Shen Jing and other wealthy officials in Suzhou were willing to give up the subscription coupons obtained through unfair means, and also expressed their willingness to sell subscription coupons through drawing lots to limit the purchase, and even the emperor approved this request, so the Suzhou scholars gradually stopped making trouble. .
The order of the city was restored again.
Local bureaucrats in other places also learned from what happened in Suzhou that the scholars and the people were no longer easy to fool. More importantly, they had the support of the imperial court, and they all conscientiously carried out Zhu Yijun's order to draw lots and sell subscription coupons.
Therefore, the subscription coupons were put on sale in a way that they were sold to as many people as possible, which made many people more willing to accept them. After all, if they couldn't buy them anymore, they could only blame themselves for their bad luck.
However, in this way, the subscription coupons are undoubtedly more valuable.
Because many big bureaucrats cannot occupy the subscription coupons with large appreciation potential through plundering, they can only spend high prices to buy the subscription coupons that lucky commoners can obtain through drawing lots.
For large investors, what they value is whether the value of their property can continue to increase, so spending more money to buy subscription tickets in a short period of time is not important to them.
However, many civilians are still short-sighted or unable to control their desires well, such as gambling and the pursuit of love, so they sell the subscription tickets with large appreciation potential to large investors.
Naturally, the court could not stop this kind of legal transaction, and could only watch as the subscription coupons continued to be concentrated in the hands of more large households.
But this is better than the bureaucrats directly taking advantage of it. After all, even if the people sell the subscription tickets, they still get some silver dollars.
In addition, this also means that the interests of more large households are beginning to be linked to the interests of the country.
After all, only if Ming Dynasty continues to expand and develop to gain more benefits, can the subscription tickets in their hands continue to appreciate in value.
This will undoubtedly make big investors more willing to be loyal to Ming Dynasty.
besides.
Because the subscription coupons showed great added value, many large households were willing to sell their land to obtain cellar silver and buy subscription coupons at high prices, thus easing land mergers.
at the same time.
This also means that big players such as bureaucrats and officials have begun to turn mergers into merger subscriptions, instead of focusing on the land of common people, which is conducive to the stability of the country.
In addition, more silver dollars were used by large investors to buy subscription coupons, which also promoted investment and increased the amount of silver dollar currency on the market.
This is a good sign for Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun has no intention of interfering with the large investors' use of legal methods to acquire more subscriptions.
What's more, the concentration of wealth in the hands of a small number of people is a social law. Even if he is an emperor, he can only ensure that the method of concentration is civilized, but he cannot violate the law.
Zhu Yijun only made a post-mortem analysis of the contradictions in the sale of subscription tickets when discussing national affairs with Shen Shixing and other ruling ministers, and said:
"Fundamentally speaking, what happened when big bureaucrats wanted to steal the subscription coupons was because there were not enough subscription coupons. The reason why there were not enough subscription coupons was that the benefits from external development were not enough for the people of the country, so now we have to restrict purchases. Draw lots."
"What your Majesty is saying is that after discussing this matter with all the ministers in the political hall, I believe that if we want the country to be truly harmonious and everyone is rich and knows etiquette, and does not forget about integrity and benevolence for the sake of profit, the more important thing is to Following the former Grand Master's way of governing the country, we should increase the benefit of the world."
"And now the focus is on Luzon to increase the benefit of the world."
"The recovery and development of Luzon is urgent!"
"What's more, Chen Yubi and Yuan Zongdao of the Hanlin Academy have proven that Luzon is the place where the Han people discovered and developed it. It should be the homeland of China, so this dynasty has the obligation to take it back, and it will be worthy of the ancestors of China."
"What's more, the Cabinet Policy Department has also estimated that the value of Luzon's copper mines, gold and silver mines and trade should be more than 20 million taels. Therefore, if they can be recovered, it will be of great benefit to enrich the country and benefit the people, and then we can While transforming the land in the southwest, we can also regain the Hetao, and the Mongolian tribes in the Hetao can also transform the land and return it to the river, and promote Hanization."
"And the key to the recovery and development of Luzon lies in Dongpeng. I think that we should set up a bureau in Dongpeng to make it easier for the officials of Dongpeng to act."
Shen Shixing said.
"allow!"
Zhu Yijun nodded.
Xu Fuyuan, the deputy military envoy of Fujian, became the first governor of Dongpeng in the Ming Dynasty, and in the autumn of the 17th year of Wanli, he established the governor's office in Dongpeng Danshui.
After Xu Fuyuan arrived in Dongpeng, he also strengthened the immigration and military training in Dongpeng according to the instructions of the imperial court, and officially opened the Dongpeng Shipyard in Dongpeng, began to train crews and shipbuilding, and even recruited natives to work in the Shipyard Bureau. At the same time, they were educated and schools were set up for them to study.
In addition, Xu Fuyuan also began to recruit boatmen from the coast of Fujian with generous salaries, and also recruited mature farmers from the mountainous areas of Fujian to develop terraced fields in Dongpeng.
For a time, the number of Han people in Dongpeng Prefecture further increased, the number of ships also greatly increased, and the amount of cultivated land also increased greatly, making it more suitable for the Ming Dynasty to serve as an advance base for the conquest of Luzon.
However, the great Ming Dynasty moved to Dongpeng Prefecture to build ships and even train naval forces, which naturally attracted the attention of the Western Yi through various channels.
During this era, the Western barbarians who came to the coast of the Ming Dynasty were mainly Spaniards, what the Ming Dynasty people called the Francois.
The main stronghold of the Francois on the coast of the Ming Dynasty was Luzon Island.
After the Folangji people heard that a large number of Han people had come to Dongpeng Mansion, they were worried that the Ming Dynasty was targeting Luzon and its trade routes from Luzon to Japan, the Ming Dynasty, and South America, so they brazenly dispatched a fleet to go north and occupy it. Sheliao Island (now Heping Island) in Dongpeng Prefecture.
Subsequently, in order to obtain more detailed intelligence and shock, Fo Langji took the initiative to send soldiers to attack Huangshan Town in Tamsui County, Dongpeng Prefecture, Ming Dynasty.
Bang bang!
After the brigade of Franco machine musketeers and spearmen sneaked into Huangshan Town, they directly attacked the soldiers and civilians in Huangshan Town.
Before a small group of Ming army sentries on duty could react, they were shot to the ground by a line of Franco soldiers several times their size.
then.
A small number of these Franco soldiers rushed directly into the town and killed the Han people on sight.
A child playing in the street was stabbed through the abdomen by a Folang soldier. At the same time, another Folang soldier rushed directly into a civilian house, stabbed all the Han people in the back room to death, and cursed: "Damn aliens." Believers, I now come to conquer you on behalf of our great Holy Roman Emperor!"
At the same time, most of the Franco soldiers rushed towards the small Ming army camp stationed here.
At this time, the Ming army in the town had already reacted, started lighting beacon smoke, and the drums were beating loudly.
When the navy not far away saw this, they immediately headed this way.
