Dispersed.
The imperial court approved the establishment of the Craftsman Academy, which was run by Mohist disciples.
Regarding the treatment of "workers", no one has any objection.
The process of awarding rewards to friends has also entered the process.
Even though Chu Qing raised the issue of recruiting soldiers, the country no longer forced soldiers to recruit soldiers, but enlisted in the army "voluntarily". Although the courtiers were shocked, they also started a discussion, discussing the feasibility of the matter, unlike before. That's arguing for the sake of arguing.
It was only then that Chu Qing discovered that the courtiers in the Yizheng Hall had changed.
There is no more quarreling or quarreling. Everyone is just talking about things matter-of-factly. If they don’t understand, they can at most ask, and they won’t refute without thinking. Even if it is inconsistent with the ancestral method, they will still discuss the feasibility.
It's not to give Chu Qing face, but he is really used to it and is more down-to-earth and down-to-earth.
Although it was not passed immediately, the courtiers were indeed considering the feasibility, and at least it was on the agenda.
When the court was about to leave, Chu Qing came to Jingyi Hall, together with several old ministers.
Looking at the backs of Chu Qing and others entering the Jingyi Hall, the courtiers became frightened again.
They knew that Chu Qing was sharpening his knife, but they didn't know who the knife was going to hit.
They guessed correctly, Chu Qing was indeed sharpening his knife, and this knife was going to hit the merchants.
"There must be rectification."
Chu Qing, who was sitting on the cushion, crossed his legs and shouted: "We can't just look at business taxes. We should rectify the chamber of commerce and rectify merchants. Business taxes should be collected or collected. There are so many people who want to do business, old horse." Can we take a longer-term view?”
Ma Rui, who was scolded by Chu Qing, said with a smile: "Master Chu, what are you saying? I have no objection. It's just that 40% of the money and food in the national treasury comes from commercial taxes."
"Master Ma, there is no need to worry."
Wei Changfeng has always supported Chu Qing: "As far as I know, there are countless people who go to Jingzhao Mansion to get business registration. I am afraid that the merchants in Jingzhong will not be able to recover."
Zhai Xiu echoed: "It's true. The current status of a merchant cannot be underestimated. He is no less than a Confucian scholar. If you have a smarter mind, you can get a merchant status and become a merchant. You can make a lot of money. Just say that this year's imperial examination will have a lot of people." Didn’t those who failed the exam put down their sage books and replace them with the endlessly noisy abacus?”
"That's true." Qiu Wanshan nodded repeatedly: "The newly built pipelines outside the city are all occupied by merchant convoys. Even the common people have to step aside when setting foot on these pipelines. I feel that the Ministry of Punishment should make some plans to catch a glimpse of the leopard. It can be seen that if merchants are so domineering, they may inevitably bully and humiliate the people."
Looking at the big shots discussing, Chu Qing was completely convinced.
The governor of Jingzhao Prefecture does not study the people in Beijing, but studies business taxes.
The Ministry of Household Affairs, which is in charge of commercial taxes, does not count taxes, but counts merchant ratios.
The criminal department that arrests people does not study criminal law, but is preoccupied with scientific research.
The officials who are mainly responsible for scientific examinations also get involved in transportation matters.
Chu Qing is still happy to see this situation. At least it is much better than half of the Analects governing the world. Officials should be like this. They may not be familiar with the official affairs of other government offices, but they must know the government decrees and common sense related to the official affairs of their own government offices. .
Chu Qing cleared his throat, and all the discussion leaders closed their mouths.
It has nothing to do with majesty. At Chu Qing's age, except for the prince, he has no majesty to talk about in front of other senior ministers.
It has nothing to do with status. Even Chang Yu needs to be courteous and virtuous in front of several veterans.
Just because he is Chu Qing, many major changes in Dachang Dynasty are directly or indirectly related to him. The starting point of these changes all started from the Jingyi Hall, but the person sitting down at that time was the emperor, and Not the prince and ministers.
"My lords are all veterans, so I won't make any excuses. The bosses all know what's going on with Yingdao and the thieves on Yingdao, and they know what Donghai Zhoushi is running for."
Several veterans showed tacit expressions.
In fact, they are not the only ones. Even ordinary officials, ordinary families, and even ordinary people have more or less heard that the Donghai Marine Corps is rushing to destroy the country. But many things are like this. Everyone can know, but cannot Nonsense.
In fact, many Confucian scholars wanted to say that they felt that Chu Qing had gone too far.
Even Qiu Wanshan couldn't stand Chu Qing's excessiveness, and then seconded the proposal.
The general meaning is that Mr. Qiu also felt that Chu Qing's destruction of the country was unjustifiable. He "seconded" the Confucian scholar's point of view, but there must be evidence.
Just saying it without evidence is useless. A shameless beast like Chu Qing will never admit it without evidence.
Therefore, Mr. Qiu proposed a solution. Anyone who thinks Chu Qing has gone too far should look for evidence. How to find it? Go to Donghai, preferably Yingdao, and bring back the evidence. Let's work together to deal with Chu Qing.
In the end, the Confucian scholars felt that it was too much.
Let all the Japanese thieves die. It is better than being buried with them. Everyone is just having fun, there is no need to risk their lives and fortunes.
"According to incomplete statistics, there are at least two million households of Japanese thieves in Yingdao. Even if the navy army and the eldest princess's men landed on Yingdao, they would not be able to kill all the Japanese thieves in a short time, so I thought Now, should we turn Yingdao into a place for military training and a place of exile? Those prisoners held by the government will be exiled to Yingdao where they can mine, serve as auxiliary soldiers for the new recruits of the navy, or work as civilian laborers. As for this The training place means that the new soldiers and new battalions will be stationed on Yingdao to strangle the Japanese bandits in the name of 'suppressing bandits'. What do you think, sir?"
"I think Commander Chu's method is good." Qiu Wanshan was the first to speak: "It can be said that it kills four birds with one stone. The first one is that the new soldiers go to Yingdao, set sail and hone their naval warfare skills. The second one is to exile the prisoners and mine ore. The third one is the new soldiers. It can both train troops and destroy thieves. As for these four things, it can also stop the crowd. Yingdao is not far from Goguryeo. Your Majesty and the Supreme Emperor will not go on expeditions. If the war encounters obstacles, you can rush to your Majesty's aid from Yingdao."
Mr. Qiu had already made four achievements, so the prince and other ministers naturally had no objections.
This is the advantage of holding a small meeting. There are not so many jabbering people. The big boss who has the final say can unify his thoughts, and the next things will be much easier to handle.
"One more thing, Ryukyu Island."
Chu Qing pinched his eyebrows: "This time to destroy Ying Island, the people of the East China Sea came with great help. When I was in Shangyundao, I thought about migrating some people to Ryukyu Island to develop this treasure island. Since they are going overseas, some measures must be introduced. The government decrees preferential treatment for the military and civilians. Once the soldiers and civilians leave, the population of the Three East China Sea Routes will be greatly reduced. Your Highness, Sirs, do you want to move some people from other provinces to the Three East China Sea Routes? Now the Three East China Sea Routes need shipbuilding, and there is a need to open various workshops. A lot of manpower.”
"Good." Nangong Xi nodded and said: "That's right. Be prepared for danger in times of peace. If there is no war between the north and the south, the East China Sea will become the top priority. I don't know how many countries in the world are in trouble. Now that I know it, how can I not Heavy maritime industry.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Within half a stick of incense, the two things Chu Qing proposed were already understood, and everything was progressing as he expected.
"One last thing." Chu Qing's expression was a little incomprehensible: "Merchant, you are so arrogant!"
