"Good news! Your Highness! Good news!"
The next day.
As soon as Zhu Yunzhen entered the Wenhua Hall, he heard a commotion inside. Just as he was about to scold him, a counselor came over to congratulate him.
"Your Highness! A new batch of national bonds was issued yesterday, and people enthusiastically subscribed!"
"Yesterday alone, the people of the capital subscribed for 50 million taels of national debt!"
"This is because the Ministry of Accounts is short of manpower and can only process a maximum of 50 million treasury bonds a day!"
“The Ming Dynasty’s treasury has never been so full!”
But Zhu Yunzhen didn't think it was that strange.
The pilot land reform was in Yingtian Mansion, and it was normal for the people in the capital to be wealthy.
Moreover, the common people in the capital also received the greatest impact from the People's Daily, and the incident at Shijian Yinshan also had the greatest impact on them.
The enthusiastic purchase was also expected of him.
And if the people in the capital are like this, people in other places will follow suit.
It is not impossible for Ming Dynasty to collect one billion in national debt.
But the problem is just as Yu Xin said.
The real difficulty is yet to come! Not at all!
But now that everyone was happy, Zhu Yunxuan did not intend to dampen everyone's enthusiasm, but said: "It's very good."
"While the treasury is full, you will draw up a charter immediately."
"Comprehensive land reform is imperative! Gu Yao will nationalize all the fields in the Ming Dynasty within one year!"
"At the same time, let all poor people have fields to cultivate and cultivate land!"
The specific affairs of land reform naturally cannot be bypassed by the Advisory Office. It requires the joint efforts of everyone to come up with a concrete and feasible solution.
Otherwise, just talking about it will not achieve practical results.
On this day, Zhu Yunxuan was in the Wenhua Hall, watching the group of counselors quarreling for a long time.
Some of the counselors were already in their seventies or eighties, but their energy during the quarrel was better than that of the young people.
However, this quarrel was not without value.
After discussing for a long time, they really came up with a good plan.
With the Gyeonggi region as the core, it radiates to the surrounding areas, and gradually spreads to the entire Ming Dynasty within three months.
When it came to the specific land reform, the military garrison and official land were taken first, and then one farmer in each village was selected as a model to gradually rectify private land.
Until it was all taken over by Ming Dynasty.
This plan is already the most reasonable plan among all plans.
He did not want to become a fat man in one breath, but directly ordered the entire Ming Dynasty to carry out land reform.
After all, no one can guarantee that when the Ming Dynasty allocates funds for land reform.
What will happen locally?
Will there be corruption of ink? Repeat the past events of King Qi?
This is all inexplicable.
It would be better to stay nearby, with the Gyeonggi region as the core, and let officials who have accumulated a lot of experience in land reform in Yingtian Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture continue to be responsible, and be sent out to guide land reform.
Gradually cultivate talents related to land reform, identify problems, and improve mechanisms.
Only in this way can the people below have no loopholes to exploit.
It can be said that although this plan is a bit conservative, it is very consistent with the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. After all... the quality of officials in the Ming Dynasty is really uneven!
There is no guarantee of character at all!
The mechanism is even worse! There are also Jin Yiwei who can monitor the capital, but what about other than the capital?
Especially for some remote chief envoys, the intensity has been greatly reduced!
Since ancient times, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
The further away from the Gyeonggi area, the worse the control!
This will be the same even in later generations... The Ming Dynasty will naturally be even more unavoidable...
After determining the direction of land reform.
The Ming Dynasty court once again went all out. It was only a matter of time before the subscription of one billion treasury bonds was completed. Now the Ming Dynasty can start preparing to print more banknotes.
Increase the intensity of land reform and officially enter comprehensive land reform!
As the banknotes were printed one after another, the joy in the court became much more joyful.
But the sadness on Zhu Yunzhen's face actually increased.
…
Royal study room.
Zhu Yunxuan recruited Xia Yuanji. Although this person is only the head of the household department now, he has a very sharp eye for seeing problems!
And the way he handles problems is also quite clever.
To be able to come up with a way to pour people's money into a bottomless hole in such a short period of time can be said to be a rare talent.
But the current Ming Dynasty does not have such ability.
Because there is no such reservoir available in Daming today! In later generations, every country will have two reservoirs, one is real estate, and the other is the stock market!
But now in Ming Dynasty... no matter how you fry, these two things are not easy to stir up...
Without industrialization and urbanization, houses would only have residential value, and what kind of place is not living?
House speculation is simply not feasible in Ming Dynasty.
On the contrary, the stock market... has a little trouble, because this thing is virtual. As long as everyone understands this concept, there will be no problem.
But this is not the best method after all!
Zhu Yunxuan already had the best ending in mind, and at the same time...this was also an opportunity he had missed in the ancient empire in his previous life.
In the final analysis, it comes down to one sentence: seek development externally!
If you don’t have enough food, try to find a way to get it from other places!
If the labor force is not enough, we will find ways to get labor force from other places!
If you don’t have enough silver and don’t have enough consumption, go grab the silver mines elsewhere! Dumping domestic products from the Ming Dynasty!
Use this to plunder countless wealth!
As a result, although the money in the hands of the people of Ming Dynasty has been increasing, the value will not depreciate.
The Ming court could continue to issue more banknotes.
Print money as you please!
Because the people who paid for the banknotes printed in the Ming Dynasty were not the people of the Ming Dynasty, but the whole world!
There is a typical example of this in later generations...that is Eagle Country. Its products are paid for by the whole world, and its oil, which is more valuable than silver mines, is in its hands.
Every banknote he prints is difficult to devalue!
Because the whole world is paying for him...
Naturally, the current Ming Dynasty cannot do that, but the current demand of the Ming Dynasty is far from that high. It only needs to get food from other places.
There is a high probability that it can meet the needs of the people of Ming Dynasty.
If we could enrich meat and create some products that could improve our lives, it would be completely enough.
Regarding the former, Zhu Yunxuan planned to dump goods directly to the Japanese country, and then exchange them for grain and transport them back to the Ming Dynasty.
For meat, we need to find ways to get some from Beiyuan, and then find ways to develop Australia. It is a natural pasture. As long as it is developed, beef and mutton will be enough for the people of the entire Ming Dynasty.
As for products, Zhu Yunxian is already urging the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau to step up research and manufacturing.
When the product is developed, Zhu Yunzhen can hold an auction.
Auction the patents for these products and reap the rewards of the wealthy businessmen!
Such a three-pronged approach can stabilize the prices in the Ming Dynasty, so that the banknotes in the Ming Dynasty are still valuable, and the banknotes in the hands of the people will not be reduced to a piece of waste paper.
In the end, as public dissatisfaction boiled over, not only failed to change the Ming Dynasty... but became the eternal sinner of the Ming Dynasty.
During this period of time, Zhu Yunzhen has been walking on thin ice and acted cautiously!
Just to prevent such a situation from happening!
"Now... everything is waiting for the good news from Zheng He!"
"Zheng He, Zheng He... you must not let me down..."
Zhu Yunzhen looked at the horizon, as if he wanted to see what was happening on the sea.
…
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye it's been two months.
As summer enters, the weather gradually becomes hotter, the sun is blazing, and the heat is unbearable.
But such hot weather did not affect the enthusiasm of the Ming Dynasty.
On the contrary, it only added to the fire!
From morning to evening every day, Zhu Yunzhen was never absent. He could stay in Fengtian Hall for a whole day, repeatedly handling boring and cumbersome government affairs.
Most of them are small things about land reform.
These include disputes over mere measurements of land.
But Zhu Yunzhen happened to check everything in detail.
Land reform is really important to Zhu Yunzhen!
You have to be serious to this extent!
"Your Highness, so far, land reform has been completed in all areas near Gyeonggi Province, more than a month earlier than expected."
"Although there were some minor problems in the middle, they were all resolved one by one."
"We have accumulated many talents in the field of land reform, and we have also improved the supervision system, and there have been fewer cases of corruption."
"Weichen believes that we can proceed with the next step."
Yu Xin, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, and Xia Yuanji, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, reported to Zhu Yunhui.
Yes, after these two months of training.
Both Yu Xin and Xia Yuanji took a step forward, one was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and the other was promoted to the title of Minister of the Ministry of Finance.
Among them, there is no obstacle to Yu Xin's promotion.
However, Xia Yuanji's promotion had some hiccups. A supervisor named Liu was dissatisfied with Xia Yuanji's promotion and could be passive and sabotage.
Led a group of household chiefs to cause trouble.
Zhu Yunzhen pursued the matter further, but this person dismissed him and said that it was Xia Yuanji who was in charge.
Naturally, Zhu Yunzhen would not show mercy to such people. Being passive and slowing down work at such a critical moment as land reform was simply asking for death!
Zhu Yunzhen immediately sent someone to chop off his head.
Warn officials!
Zhu Yunzhen might be more generous and hold you less accountable when he usually makes trouble, but if he makes trouble during the land reform process, he will die!
It is precisely because of this that the progress of land reform will be much faster than originally expected.
"Very good!" Zhu Yunxi finally had a smile on his face.
He ordered: "Chuangu's order continues to be centered around the capital."
"Gradually start land reform in Jiangxi Chief Executive's Department, Henan Chief Executive's Department, Huguang Chief Executive's Department, Zhejiang Chief Executive's Department, Fujian Chief Executive's Department and other places!"
"I want to see at least half of the Ming Dynasty's land and complete land reform within three months!"
Yu Xin and Xia Yuanji looked shocked.
His Highness Taisun is so ambitious, how can they hold him back?
I will repay you with my life for the kindness I have given you!
"Wei Chen obeys your orders!"
The land reform of the Ming Dynasty officially entered the stage of comprehensive land reform!
