The ministers were all numb. Although they did not understand or recognize it, they were full of admiration.
Each of the four ideas breaks the rules and challenges the existing rules.
But without exception, if it can be fully implemented, the mutual market will definitely usher in unprecedented development.
It was difficult for the ministers to talk, as they all had their own ideas, but the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were extremely happy. With the addition of another department and an increase in rank, the Ministry of Household's voice became even stronger.
Seeing that all the ministers were looking at him, Chongzhen looked at Hou Xi, the Minister of War, and said directly: "Hou Aiqing, the Ministry of War, in conjunction with the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, issued an order to the guard station where Huashi is located to deploy troops to garrison Hushi. Keep it safe!"
"I obey the decree!"
Hou Yu responded immediately.
Although the foreign enemies are gone, there is no guarantee that desperadoes and bandits will not invade the mutual markets.
After arranging guards, Chongzhen pondered for a moment before speaking: "I agree with Sun Aiqing's suggestion that the Tea and Horse Department be changed to the Commerce Department!"
"Bi Aiqing, this matter is left to your household department to set up. The doctors and foreign ministers of the Commerce Department must choose officials who are proficient in business and tax matters."
"Fang Aiqing, your officials will do a good job in reviewing it.
In addition, as for the issue of the rank of ambassadors and deputy ambassadors raised by Yuan Aiqing, your Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, and Cabinet will discuss it, roughly decide on it first, and submit it to Dongnuan Pavilion. "
"I obey the order!"
Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Shangshu Fang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, responded in unison.
"Yuan Aiqing suggested that mutual city officials be transferred to county magistrates and magistrates. I think we can give it a bold try. First, transfer one or two mutual city officials to local prefectures and counties to try it out and see the effect.
If it works, sum up the experience and then incorporate it into the routine.
In addition, I think we can also try the suggestion of forming an advisory group for the mutual market, so let’s try it out with the Zhangjiakou mutual market.
But forget about the exchange conditions, it is their honor to serve as an advisor to the imperial court.
If you miss this time, the next time you change consultants, it will be difficult for them to squeeze through! "
"Yuan Aiqing, since you brought up this matter, you should be responsible for following up and implementing it, and report the progress every half a month!"
"I obey the decree!"
Yuan Keli also responded immediately.
All the ministers were numb. The emperor actually agreed to these "deviant" suggestions.
They now doubt whether these suggestions were made by Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, or whether the emperor pretended to make them.
The meaning is completely different.
But one thing is certain, the imperial court is really ready to relax some business affairs, and then the oil and water in the major mutual markets will be different.
In particular, the newly added Ningyuan mutual market connects with Liaodong, North Korea and, over time, Fusang.
As soon as the market opens, it will definitely rank first among all mutual markets. As long as you buy land, you will definitely make money without losing money.
They have made up their mind to write letters to some familiar business friends after the court, asking them to attend Ningyuan's investment conference.
"Dear ladies, do you have anything else to report?"
After waiting for a while, the officials were quiet.
Seeing this, Chongzhen spoke out: "Since everyone is fine, I have something to do!"
The ministers were startled and immediately stood up straight.
"Yesterday, Zhang Jingyue, director of the Qihuang Research Institute, and others came to see me. They discovered something while studying medical records from past dynasties.
The illness of the common people and even the occurrence of plague are closely related to the living environment in which the common people live. If you pay attention to hygiene, there will be fewer diseases, and vice versa.
I agree with this.
I have been on many tours and visited many cities. Although I have cleaned them up, the hygiene is still worrisome, with open defecation, swill, filth, etc. dumped everywhere. "
“Therefore, the cabinet issued an order to all states, prefectures and counties, strictly prohibiting open defecation, dumping of filth, etc. in the city. Even if it is sent outside the city, planning must be done to avoid polluting water sources, etc.;
The health in the city is included in the focus of official inspections. The inspection censor, the inspection team, and the Jinyiwei who go to handle the case will conduct random inspections at any time.
Give states and counties a half-year buffer. If problems are found again, they will be dismissed directly and investigated, and they will never be hired! "
"In addition, you are not allowed to eat bats, pangolins, rats, snakes, weasels and other highly poisonous wild animals. Once discovered, you will be punished with thirty rods. If you fail to report the knowledge, you will be punished with twenty rods! You cannot eat it but you can kill it!"
"Retreat!"
After the arrangements were made, Chongzhen got off the platform directly and left the Huangji Hall without giving the officials time to react.
There was really no way to explain it to the ministers.
Since it's hard to explain, just force it to happen.
Although the plague three years later was not directly caused by hygiene, it is good to pay attention to hygiene after all.
He left gracefully, but the officials were confused.
This last order is really ridiculous.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
Seeing that the ministers were in a daze, the British Duke saluted towards the dragon chair and woke up the ministers.
After the ministers saluted, Sun Chengzong turned to look at the ministers and said loudly: "His Majesty once said that what you understand must be implemented, and what you don't understand temporarily must also be implemented. Understanding will be deepened during implementation.
You may have different opinions or refute, but before that, you must convince the cabinet and then go to His Majesty. I don’t want you to complain after you leave the court.
All ministries and departments will act in accordance with His Majesty's arrangements. If there is a need for planning, the first draft will be completed within three days and sent to Wenyuan Pavilion. If there is need for coordination, you can also come to Wenyuan Pavilion to find us. Let's all be dismissed! "
The ministers then slowly exited the Huangji Palace and headed towards their respective ministries, exchanging words in low voices on the way.
"The three major events discussed in the court meeting today all broke the ancestral system!"
"Since the establishment of the Martial Arts Hall last year, I knew that we would have to take action on these two issues sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!"
"This is not a good thing but a bad thing. Although there are various stringent conditions, at least it makes up for the shortcomings."
"Hahaha, anyway, we don't have hereditary or hereditary descendants, so it won't have much impact on us. Even if there are no restrictions, His Majesty will not easily be hereditary or hereditary."
"Yes, His Majesty has been on the throne for more than three years, but he has never been overshadowed or inherited by any minister. This speaks volumes!"
"Once the Ningyuan Mutual Market opens, you will definitely make money without losing money. Do you plan to participate in the investment conference and buy a piece of land?"
"Are you crazy? Although the imperial court stipulates that 'officials of the fourth rank and below are not allowed to order their children, family members, or servants to open shops in the market, make money and make debts, or go out to trade in salt or sell goods.' But have you considered it in the future? Yet?
Although we are not within the regulations now, do you still want to go further? What's making a little money compared to going further? "
"That's right, you don't need to think about it. Once the news spreads, one acre of land will cost at least a thousand taels. The merchants will definitely increase the price. It may be two to three thousand taels. Can you compete?"
