If Ming Dynasty and Pigtail don't fight, will a certain prince have nothing to do?
On the contrary, when fighting Huang Taiji, a certain prince only needs to be prepared to face the enemy.
After both sides stopped fighting, a certain prince had to clean up the original mess.
For example, the wealthy gentry and officials who had previously attempted or had betrayed their country and surrendered to the enemy as traitors were only targeted within Shuntian Prefecture.
Now that the braids are no longer in the customs, we can expand them directly to the eight corners of the north. We don't have enough time, so we will focus on rectifying North Zhili right now.
North Zhili includes eight prefectures and one town, including Shuntian Prefecture, Yongping Prefecture, Baoding Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture, Shunde Prefecture, Guangping Prefecture, Daming Prefecture, and Xuanfu Town.
At the beginning of the dynasty, the registered cultivated land in Northern Zhili was 58 million acres. Now the agricultural tax is levied at one-tenth of a stone per mu, which can only cover an area of about 5 million acres.
This is still the largest number, and sometimes it is only about three million acres.
The wealthy gentry said that there was a natural disaster and military disaster, and there was really no food to hand over.
It seems excusable, but actually...
"Long live the Qing Emperor!"
"Cao Min is willing to hand over food to serve the Qing Dynasty King!"
"The world has been suffering for a long time, and soon it will be destroyed!"
"The Qing Dynasty's conquest of the world is the general trend and what the people want!"
The Ming army couldn't even buy grain with silver at market prices.
When the pigtails come, the wealthy gentry is eager to give him money, food, and women!
If Huang Taiji's army could stay permanently, the wealthy gentry would definitely give away a house!
Doesn't this come from the baseness of your heart? ? ?
A certain father has already implemented the Baojia system in the Jiangnan area, and a certain prince in the north must of course implement it.
According to the four levels of prefecture, county, township and village, guarantees are provided layer by layer. If something goes wrong, the guarantors will also be seated together!
The previously agreed five-year tax exemption policy will be implemented as scheduled.
But it is definitely not possible to give grain to pigtails to eat while crying about poverty and drought.
This is the crime of capitalizing on the enemy, and no one knows how it will be dealt with.
A certain prince has always been kind-hearted, and criminals are spared death. The male family members mine, and the female family members teach the secretariat!
If we don't let these scum get back the money they spent on delivering food, we won't even think of dying!
What are the 100,000 people in the capital doing if they don't fight?
Of course I went to the countryside to collect food!
This time it’s either a purchase or a levy, the kind that won’t give you any money!
The target has been chosen long ago, and the pigs have been fattened. How can they be left for pigtails to be slaughtered?
There are people in the court who can say that a certain prince is not unreasonable, and all the officials can vouch for it.
Think carefully before writing to avoid regrets, not to mention loss of reputation and interests, or being implicated.
Almost all of Shuntian Prefecture has been cleared, and the target of this operation is the remaining seven prefectures.
Xuanfu Town was under the management of Yang Wenyue, and a certain prince gave the governor some face and some benefits, letting him clean up on his own.
All the benefits belong to Yang Wenyue and the Xuan Da troops under his command. Yang Wenyue was a civil servant and was considered to be well-connected in this area.
Seventy thousand officers and soldiers rushed towards seven prefectures. Large prefectures, such as Hejian Prefecture, could hold 20,000 troops, and Guangping Prefecture, which was small in area, also came with 5,000 troops.
If a certain prince dared to act like this, he was naturally prepared. The wealthy gentry everywhere were all listed on the list.
Who is the surname, the family members, the relationship between relatives and friends, and the assets? A certain prince has already sent people to search for the land.
The only shortcoming is that the specific assets are unknown and can only be estimated based on the land. The truth will be revealed after the operation is completed.
It is not uncommon for rich gentry to control and exploit farmers, and take advantage of them by clever means. A certain prince sent troops this time to do justice for heaven and eliminate harm for Min!
To this end, a certain prince made targeted arrangements and stipulated the division of labor down to company-level units.
What areas each brigade or general officer unit covers, who should be captured by the sub-battalions or battalions, companies and units, what the marching route and time are, are all the same as in combat, and are detailed to the person leading the team.
If you encounter stubborn resistance and your own troops are small, you can release signal flares or temporarily retreat until reinforcements arrive before launching a siege.
Is this too much?
If you don't do this, even if it takes another 10,000 years, the wealthy gentry will not take the initiative to make up for the tax arrears!
There are generally two agreed-upon approaches, either not to pay at all, or to pay a little symbolically.
This kind of behavior is like going to graves and burning newspapers - you are fooling the devil!
If we don't send the army to the countryside to carry out large-scale sweeps, let alone conscripts, we won't be able to buy much even if we spend money to buy it.
If a certain prince could not use thunderous tactics, wealthy gentry everywhere always believed that if the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, they could dominate and dominate in their hometown.
Even if the wealthy gentry in Beizhili are unlucky this year, they will be like the mandarin fish in Taiye Pond!
Before the action, a certain prince had already excluded all the wealthy gentry who had connections with officials and generals. There would be no chance of accidental injury. If one did, he would be released even if he was taken to the capital.
If the suspect dies on the way, it means he has been killed and silenced. The person responsible for escorting will be punished with an additional penalty. You should first consider which mine to go to!
Due to the good confidentiality and quick action, the wealthy gentry who was suddenly attacked was basically in a state of confusion. He did not expect that the Dog Prince would send troops to raid his home.
Each company-level unit is equipped with a small Folan machine, which is used to eliminate those who are stubbornly resisting in the fortress. The platoon-level unit has a mortar that can perform direct fire.
Individual combat weapons such as muskets and grenades are naturally indispensable. When going out to deal with wealthy gentry with ulterior motives, they also wear helmets and armor, otherwise some soldiers will still be killed or injured.
All wealthy gentry who used various excuses to refuse to participate in the Baojia, regardless of their location or status, were attacked. They were the first to be dealt with.
The execution of Baojia was an order from the Crown Prince and a new order from the imperial court. Anyone who dares to disobey is defying the order and attempting to rebel. This is the most fair and just reason to take action...
The wealthy gentry who had found a guarantor and signed their names were first waiting in the yamen of each prefecture and county, and the officials accompanying the army from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the factory guards counted the guarantee fees paid by them.
The insurance fee is the certificate of investment. Throughout the ages, the real certificate of investment cannot be a piece of paper. It must be presented with actual benefits to save one's life.
It can be gold, silver or grain, which is converted according to the land area under your command.
One acre of land can be harvested one hundredth of a stone, and it can be harvested for twenty years at a time, which is one-fifth of a stone, which is equivalent to two cents of silver.
If you have a thousand acres of land under your command, you must pay two hundred stones or two hundred taels of silver.
If someone reports that they are sponsoring Donglu, they will be directly handed over to the factory guard for trial.
If the land area is deliberately concealed, he will be escorted to the capital first and will be punished after the situation is verified.
The reaction of most wealthy gentry was as expected by a certain prince, that is, they desperately wanted to pay less for their land so that they could pay less money or food.
But even if they collude with local officials, this trick will not work.
The people sent by a certain prince were based on the area of cultivated land at the beginning of the dynasty!
Maybe one or two acres less will work, but one or two hundred acres less will definitely not work!
The person responsible for verification is also responsible for the task of sharding and contracting. If something goes wrong, the person in charge will really take the blame.
No one would be stupid enough to take the blame for a wealthy gentry who was a complete stranger and planned to evade the insurance fee.
It is true that he can reap benefits, but after returning, he will have to get food and money to return to his life.
If I can't recover my life, I will die...
It's better to kill these rich gentry who refuse to pay taxes than to kill yourself from above!
The area of each area has been determined a long time ago. They come here to collect money and food. If the rich gentry refuses to pay, they just take the people away.
As for having a reputation or having dedicated yourself to it, that doesn’t work!
A certain prince came up with the insurance fee just to break the iron cloth of "gentlemen's tax exemption"!
If these people had to pay the Baojia fee in full, then a certain prince would have reason to deprive these people of their honors.
If you lose your fame, you will have to pay all the taxes and fees, and it will be too late for you to cry!
The Baojia system allows a certain prince to strengthen his control over Beizhili, and the Baojia fee can eradicate the borers hiding in various places.
Theoretically, a certain prince could allow Beiting to harvest 11.6 million shi of grain, or an equivalent amount of silver.
The actual situation is that after nearly four months of hard work, the various ministries and troops collected a total of 4.14 million shi of grain and more than 2.62 million taels of silver.
This is equivalent to less than 60% of the total income, but the following should have withheld a lot privately.
After all, neither the factory guards nor the army would work for a certain prince in vain.
With things like this, a certain prince could only express his basic satisfaction.
If we dig deeper, we can only attack ordinary people.
I was able to recharge Beiting again. Not only was this operation a great success, it was also a great benefit.
Now more than 100,000 people went to a certain prince's mine to mine, and at the price of twelve taels per person, they paid off the debts owed by the Ministry of Household Affairs.
It's like buying a slave, but since he is a guilty person, there is nothing to say, he deserves it!
According to the average miner's speed, a slave can earn about three taels of silver for a certain prince every month.
At the end of a year, at least thirty taels are earned, and those who work hard can reach 20 taels.
One hundred thousand slaves is two million taels, and ten years is twenty million taels.
Li Shiwen also wanted to use an excuse to increase the selling price of the prisoners, but considering that a certain prince wanted to collect the interest on the loan from the Department of Accounts in advance, he had no choice but to give up.
A certain prince has already recharged thirty million taels to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and a certain minister is still fussing over the price of slave miners. He is really putting the cart before the horse and remaining stingy...
If this continues, a certain prince really wants to cut off the phone line at Mr. Li’s home!
Including restaurants, teahouses, inns and some entertainment venues, more than 2,000 households in the capital have installed telephones.
The convenience that the telephone brings to users is beyond imagination. To ordinary people who do not understand the principles of telephones, this is completely magical and cannot be explained in other words.
After paying the installation fee, no one will give up this thing, even though the monthly cost is not small, not only the monthly rental fee, but also the call charges.
This is a symbol of fashion and trendiness. Only with a phone can your home or shop look more upscale.
It is usually installed in the living room or at the front desk, with a dedicated person guarding the phone, one person responsible for answering the call, and one person responsible for calling people.
A small number of rich people who are not short of money can install one in the living room and another in the study or bedroom to avoid the pain of running around.
The benefits of the telephone are similar to those of newspapers, except that the former is gossip and the latter is high-street news.
For example, if you are too lazy to go out when it rains or snows, you can use the phone to communicate with each other.
From this, a brand new profession was born - operator!
There is no need for exposure, the monthly salary starts at RMB 50, one day off per week, and six meals are provided during the working day, including extra meals for night shifts.
There are benefits for the New Year and holidays, and accommodation is provided. It is definitely a white-collar worker among white-collar workers, and is the envy of ordinary women.
The job requirements are that you must not only be literate, but also be flexible, respond quickly, be diligent and eager to learn, and must not be lazy or slippery.
The Telephone Company under a certain prince has already recruited fifty operators, and there will be more in the future.
Girls from wealthy families naturally disdain to do this, but for the maids around them, or the female relatives of officials from far away, if they want to save money before getting married, this is an excellent job.
As long as you undergo on-the-job training, pass the exam, and pass the three-month probationary period, you can be regularized.
After becoming a regular employee of Tellefone Telephone Company, there were countless suitors.
If these first operators grit their teeth and persevere, if they don't get married in the short term.
In the future, he will become the wiring supervisor of telephone branches in various places, with a monthly salary starting from tens of taels.
This is basically the same as the treatment of ladies from wealthy families, and the pocket money of ladies will not be much more than this.
Which way to go, a certain prince never interfered, and the operators decided for themselves.
You can continue to work in your profession after getting married, but when you have a family, it is inconvenient to be sent abroad.
For some young ladies who are determined to get married, a certain prince will also send people to introduce suitable partners.
From factory guards to court officials, as long as both parties are willing to have a blind date, then you can choose whatever you want!
At present, there are still many people who have conservative thinking and believe that it is inappropriate for women to go out to work.
But when I heard that the other party worked in the telephone company established by the prince, his image immediately became taller...
Telephones are magic, and working for a phone company is a way to get magic, just like riding a bicycle!
A certain prince didn't know how the two were connected, but many people, including those around him, thought so.
Just introducing these dozens of people does not require the personal care of a certain prince. In addition to the telephone company, there are also telegraph companies, media companies, clothing companies, shoe and hat companies, department stores, pharmaceutical companies, kindergartens, primary schools, hospitals, etc.
There are all kinds of girls, and there are thousands of young ladies of the right age. Although their positions and incomes vary, the number is enough to hold a blind date conference.
So many units mean that the capital's development has reached a higher level than before.
There are telephone and telegraph lines from Beijing to Tongzhou.
Telephones are installed in all the towers in the old city, the middle city and the new city of the capital. If there is a danger somewhere, a certain prince and Zhou Yuji can be notified immediately.
With the completion of the thermal power station and all the generating units put into operation, it can fully meet the current power demand for communications.
Considering that the steam engine was still not enough, a certain prince asked his subordinates to install four times the base number of units to prevent the steam engine from resting on its own.
Electricity for lighting still mainly relies on kerosene lamps. Only large bureaus and a few yamen or companies can enjoy electric lighting. Even if the wealthy want to use electric lights, they have to wait for a year or two.
Kerosene lamps are still the main lighting fixture for ordinary people. As the prices of oil lamps and kerosene gradually decrease, and the income of people in the capital increases, every household can afford new kerosene lamps.
Using kerosene for lighting will naturally consume kerosene. The most fundamental source is the consumption of crude oil, which can stimulate the vigorous exploitation of Shaanxi oil fields.
For the people in Jifu area, whether it is oil or kerosene, they are just commodities.
But for workers and their families in Shaanxi, especially Yanchang Oilfield, this is their source of livelihood!
The oil field is the first of the three major relief projects in Shaanxi, and oil is a strategic material, so a certain prince naturally attaches great importance to it.
The annual purchase amount will not be less than 200,000 barrels. If the situation is serious or the military situation is urgent, it will be increased to 300,000 or even 400,000 barrels.
