Chapter 283 The reform reform has entered the deep water area, and the etiquette must be abolished!

Tianqi nodded: "Then open the sea completely! The Ministry of Household Affairs and Xichang will have a meeting to discuss which coastal cities and ports should set up city shipping departments, how to tax ships, and other requirements. After the ticket is approved, it will be issued to the world."

"yes!"

  Bi Ziyan replied, and then said: "Your Majesty, the country is not only rich in silver and food, but also has a shortage of iron ore and other ores."

   "The iron consumption of the Industrial Division has been high. The key is that the Industrial Division is now an important base for the country to maintain the stability of the country!"

"A large number of people rely on him to make a living, and he supports the military consumption of the imperial army. Once production is stopped due to insufficient iron ore, it is not just a problem of the official army's firearms and armor not being replaced, but the loss of millions of people. Food and clothing problems."

   "Then there is only mining."

"Moreover, the imperial court must organize larger-scale mining operations. The scale of private mining alone is not enough to meet the current needs of the imperial court. After all, the large private households have long been different from the aristocratic families in the Han and Tang Dynasties, and it is impossible to organize large-scale mines like the imperial court. Moreover, most of the silver in the world has been concentrated in the hands of the imperial court. In addition, food has also been concentrated in the hands of the imperial court, so it is even more difficult for the people to carry out large-scale mining operations."

As Zhang Gui said, he took out a piece of information from the Xichang Mining Department and said, "Your Majesty, this is a large iron ore area discovered by the Mining Department of the Xichang under the command of my minister in order to understand the world's ore veins. In the north of North Korea, mining is very difficult and the minerals are of high quality. If Your Majesty allows it, I believe that Yousi can go to mine here. But this involves a problem, that is, whether it is against the etiquette for Guochao to take the mines of other countries ?”

   "In other words, if Ming wants to rejuvenate, it must continue to change its concepts and cognitions, abandon the constraints of the existing ritual system, and talk about benefits with other countries instead of rituals."

   "Doesn't Guochao have any new iron mines to mine?"

  At this time, the first assistant Han Yan asked.

  Although he is also very profit-oriented, it is indeed somewhat unacceptable. Daming wants to rejuvenate, but it has reached the point where he has to abandon the foreign policy of talking about etiquette without talking about profits.

   After all, this is undoubtedly denying the kingly way advocated by Confucian civilization!

  Zhang Gui shook his head and said: "Not yet. However, even if there are large iron mines in the country, shouldn't the court take the mines from foreigners first, and keep the mines from the country for the benefit of future generations?"

"Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to agree on a basic national policy for this! After all, the mines in the world are a fixed number. Once you only take the mines of your own country, you will use up your own mines in the future. Wouldn't it be restricted by foreign countries that have mines? But If we take the mining profits from foreigners and keep the mining profits from our own country, will it benefit our descendants, and the foreign countries will not be able to blackmail Daming with their mining profits?"

  After Zhang Gui said, Tianqi and the ministers of the System Strategy Department present all pondered.

  Yuan Keli couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "I never thought that the reform and reform would come to this point, and they would have to change the principles of sages and sages!"

   "Why, my Ming Dynasty's ZTE has really reached the point where it can't be revived only by making up for the deficiency, but to the point where it is necessary to practice domineering and barbaric techniques on foreign countries."

"There is no other way. If you don't do this, you can only slaughter the extra Han people as Zu Dashou said to His Majesty before he was killed, and then take the swords and swords of the world and let Ma Nanshan go. No more talk Conquest. The poor barbarians are still the bitter Han people, and the imperial court must come up with a decision."

   Zhang Gui said.

  Chen Zizhuang is a native of Lingnan, and has deep contacts with foreign barbarians, so he knows that treating foreigners with courtesy will only encourage the ambition of foreign barbarians to plunder China, and knowing that barbarians only fear authority and not aspirations for virtue, so he said:

"The principles of sages and sages are just talk, and it is necessary to govern the country in a practical way. Besides, the lessons of the subjugation of the past dynasties have shown that suffering the people of the country will only lead to the subjugation of the country. Why not try to suffer from foreign barbarians? Three hundred years of shackles!"

   "I have already said that I share the world with the Han people. This sentence is not just nonsense, but the current situation! The Ministry of Rites discusses who to recommend to North Korea, and discusses the matter of opening mines in that country."

  Apocalypse also decreed to support mining in North Korea at this time.

  Chen Zizhuang replied, "Observe the order!"

   "Opening a mine means investing a lot of manpower and financial resources, especially for the imperial court to mine. To meet the needs of the imperial court, it is not a small scale, and more people are needed."

"Nowadays, most of the exiles in the world are absorbed by the Department of Industry and the new army. Therefore, if you want to increase the human resources that can be controlled and organized by the imperial court, you cannot expect new refugees to emerge. What's more, because of His Majesty's determination to innovate, many The people have lived and worked in peace and contentment, so it is difficult to produce refugees. To increase the population, we can only start from the system, and rescue a large number of landless people who are controlled by the powerful bureaucrats as slaves and handmaids, so that they can contribute to the court. "

   Zhang Gui said again: "The first is the problem of a large number of military households being turned into slaves of guard officers!"

"The Weisuo system was originally designed to achieve self-sufficiency in the army, but because military households' fields have been seized by military officers nearly two hundred years later, coupled with the multiplication of military households, the original military households' fields are no longer enough to support the family business, so Except for those who fled, most of them have become slaves of military officers and are enslaved by them. Why doesn’t the imperial court reform the guard system, rescue a large number of military households, and let the imperial court arrange a way out for them?”

   "The second is the serious slavery system. The world's powerful and gentry have very serious slavery, and some of the powerful and gentry live in such a luxurious and profligate way that they are like slaves."

   "In short, under the organization of the imperial court, these Han people could have been used as a force to strengthen the country and enrich the people, but now they have become a resource for the rich and wealthy gentry."

   Speaking of this, Zhang Gui said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court cannot leave the pressure of a large population to itself, but leave the benefits of a large population to the powerful and gentry!"

  Tianqi was quite shocked when he heard Zhang Gui say that there were so many servants and maidservants of powerful gentry and gentry that people came to pick them up even when they peed. He looked at Yuan Keli and the others: "Is this really the case?"

Yuan Keli, as a noble family of Guide, naturally knew this, and he knew it better than Zhang Gui, so he said with a smile: "Return to your majesty, the world's gentry and dignitaries do have slaves and maidservants in their homes, and those who pervert will do what Uncle Guo said. thing."

Han Yu also laughed and said: "The old minister dare not lie to your majesty, the aristocratic family does have slavery, sometimes too many can't arrange work for them, so I can only find a way to find some work for them. And as Uncle Guo said , It is also a last resort for the children of the rich gentry. If they are not so extravagant and lustful, how can these people be arranged? So much so that there are people who warm their feet and lick their anus. There are those who kill the master. There is no way to do this."

"It's better now. The imperial court set up an industrial department to reform and eliminate disadvantages. It has the strength to support more people so that they will not be slaves. Even if there are nobles and nobles who want to do this, it will be difficult for them to sell their sons and daughters to serve as newcomers to the nobles and nobles. slave."

  Chen Zizhuang said something at this time.

  Tian Qi said: "According to this, I would like to thank these wealthy gentry and dignitaries in the past. They solved the food and clothing problems of a large number of landless people for the imperial court?"

Zhang Guidao: "Your Majesty, although it can be said so, they will not bear all the responsibilities of supporting the people for the imperial court. Besides, the money they raise these slaves comes from the people's fat and anointing collected by the imperial court, and there is a great waste , a waste of manpower, a waste of financial resources!"

   "Since this is the case, it is better to let the court directly raise them. In this way, it can turn the matter of relying on the arrogance and **** of the rich and powerful to feed a large number of people into the matter of relying on the imperial court to strengthen the country and secure the country to feed a large number of people."

   Apocalypse nodded.

Zhang Gui then continued: "Therefore, the system of guards must be reformed. Guards should be abolished as prefectures and counties, military households should be changed to civilian households, and the field registers of guards should be reorganized. Civilian households are allowed to move freely within the country. In addition, we reiterate that Taizu The system of prohibiting slavery, in order to prevent the rich gentry from keeping slaves in the name of adopting children, it is necessary to formulate regulations, and the adopted sons and daughters should also share their family property, and the government recognizes that adopted sons and daughters have the same rights as their own children. Killing adopted sons and adopted daughters is like beating Killing relatives and children is not as simple as beating slaves to death!"

  The ministers of the Planning Department fell silent.

  Because they found that the original reform still had to be inevitably brought to their own heads.
