"I want to issue an edict!"
Having said this, Chongzhen paused for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and turned to look at the two people.
“The content of the edict is very simple:
1. Anyone from our Ming Dynasty who surrenders and becomes a slave shall be killed!
2. Anyone who transports embargoed materials to the Jian slaves will be killed!
3. Ming craftsmen working as slaves in the Ming Dynasty are required to return to the Ming Dynasty within three months. Those who fail to return after the deadline will be regarded as traitors! kill! "
If we want to say who knows the Han people best, it is definitely the Han people.
Therefore, Nurhachi's first policy towards the Han people was to re-employ Han people and let Han people serve as officials. Those with high official positions would directly be unified in the Eight Banners.
What's more important is that the culture of the Han people is what the slaves lack most, which is to be wise, clear-minded, and able to distinguish right from wrong.
Without being allowed to transport embargoed materials, even though Jiannu could now mine mines, smelt iron and make salt, it was still not enough.
As for craftsman skills, this is what Jiannu lacks most. Compared with the skills of Ming craftsmen, their own skills are simply dregs.
"Pull the fire under the cauldron?"
"Hit the snake seven inches?"
Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli's eyes lit up, and they instantly realized the emperor's intention.
Directly cutting off the opportunity for Jiannu to grow again at the source.
"Two beloved ministers, let's discuss it together and see if it's feasible!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he turned back to the dragon case and drank a cup of tea slowly.
Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli fell into deep thought.
Sun Chengzong also thinks the first two are normal. Morality, benevolence, loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, integrity, and national justice are the core values of Confucianism.
No matter which scholar betrays the country and seeks glory, even if he makes great achievements,
It will eventually be recorded in the history books, and those who surrender will eventually be scolded by some people in the world.
The embargoed materials in Article 2 are a policy to control Mongolia established during the Taizu period. Even now, businessmen are taking risks for the sake of profit.
But it is reasonable to mention it again now. For the sake of the court, no one will object.
But the third item made him confused. From a moral and national perspective, Ming craftsmen helped the enemy to make weapons, which was aiding the enemy.
But from a personal level, there is no law in the Ming Dynasty that stipulates that craftsmen cannot help enemies make things, and their craftsmanship is their own.
Once this rule is issued, it may cause protests from some craftsmen. After all, making money is the most important thing to them.
"Your Majesty, these three are all strategies to remove the fuel from the cauldron and beat the snake even further. The first two are undisputed.
However, I think that the third article seems to be somewhat controversial. I am sure that your Majesty will think twice! "
Chongzhen did not respond to Sun Chengzong's words, but looked at Yuan Keli who was thoughtful: "Where is Yuan Aiqing's opinion?"
Hearing the emperor ask himself, Yuan Keli paused for a moment: "Your Majesty, do you want to put patent rights on the agenda?"
"Yuan Aiqing thinks the timing is inappropriate?"
"Not really, but I am worried that the noble gentry and businessmen will cause trouble.
After all, this directly breaks their control and greatly affects their interests! "
After Yuan Keli finished speaking, he hesitated and then said: "I think it can be divided into two steps. First, before the edict with these three provisions is issued,
It can be proposed that as long as emerging technologies are useful to the military, they can receive heavy rewards.
When the situation is more stable, the patent rights can be implemented again. During this period, the necessary framework is also put in place. "
Sun Chengzong was a little confused when he heard about patent rights at first, but when he heard Yuan Keli talk about emerging technologies,
He somewhat understood the matter of Lenovo Agricultural Research Institute and Industrial Research Institute, as well as the last of the three regulations.
So he said softly: "The patent rights your Majesty is talking about are craftsmen's technical rights?"
Hearing Sun Chengzong ask this, Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.
When the patent matter was in Xi'an, he asked Wang Zheng, the director of the Industrial Research Institute, about how to make the Industrial Research Institute operate normally. The strategy he gave had not yet been proposed in the cabinet.
"Sun Aiqing knows the subtleties of things!"
Chongzhen smiled and said: "Yuan Aiqing, tell Sun Aiqing about patent rights!"
Yuan Keli cupped his hands towards Chongzhen, and then looked at Sun Chengzong: "Mr. Sun Ge, the matter of patent rights was handled by His Majesty when he was in Xi'an.
It is to answer the question raised by Wang Zheng, the director of the Industrial Research Institute, if the imperial court cannot allocate money in the future..."
In less than a quarter of an hour, Yuan Keli gave a general description of the patent matter, and Sun Chengzong was dumbfounded.
After he completely digested it, he looked at Chongzhen with eyes full of admiration and wonder. If the emperor didn't take action, it would be a shocking move.
This shocking and even somewhat deviant approach was actually done by the emperor.
Once this policy is withdrawn, the consequences will be truly unpredictable, and it will also allow the industry to develop rapidly.
"What do Sun Aiqing think?"
After hearing the emperor's inquiry, Sun Chengzong thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I also think that it is inappropriate to propose this policy at this time.
But we can do it from another angle. For example, if the craftsman's shift system is adjusted from three months to one month,
If you don’t come to work shifts, you will still be forced to work as a substitute. It is even said that you will be exempted from the shift worker system directly.
After all, the annual collection of silver is less than 100,000 taels. With the amount of silver currently stored in the warehouse, there is no need to collect this amount of money. "
When Sun Chengzong said this, he couldn't help but smile, feeling quite wealthy.
This small amount of money would have been of great use in previous years, but now it is only a drop in the bucket relative to the national treasury.
In the 19th year of Hongwu's reign, a decree was issued, requiring craftsmen to serve in the capital in rotation for three months every three years. As scheduled, the name was called shift. Since then, the shift time has changed frequently.
"Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Sun Ge proposed is very good. The law stipulates that the actual shift is three months.
But including the round trip time, it will take at least six or seven months, and you will be blackmailed by officials and bosses;
In order to serve, craftsmen often had to borrow money, materials, silk, and even pawn their fields and children.
Therefore, inactivity, shoddy work, or waste of raw materials, and even escapes often occur.
Although it was stipulated in the 21st year of Chenghua that silver could be used as a substitute for labor, there were more problems when collecting taxes, such as overweighting, deductions, etc.
And... it also stipulates that the craftsmanship system will never leave the job, and the craftsmen will always serve.
Any craftsman who is registered as a craftsman cannot leave the registration for generations, and the marriage of his family members is subject to government control.
I think this is the main reason why craftsmen fled to become slaves. If there is a guarantee, who would want to leave their hometown and risk being beheaded to become slaves? "
After Yuan Keli's explanation, Chongzhen suddenly realized that he had some impressions of the term shift craftsman. If Sun Chengzong hadn't said it, he would have forgotten it.
Come on, Lao Zhu has made a special rule to deceive future generations.
He also couldn't understand why an emperor who was born as a peasant and became an emperor through counterattack could keep preying on the poor people.
The hereditary military attaches cut off the ordinary people's upward path, and then the military households, craftsmen households, etc. trapped the ordinary people again.
After Chongzhen finished complaining in his heart, he looked at the two of them.
