Qiming 1158

Chapter 727 "Ming Law" Officially Promulgated

I don't know why, every time Su Yonglin posted a mission, someone would always pat his chest and say that he would work hard to complete it.

This made Su Yonglin very helpless.

"Who wants your life? Give me a good life. There will be more places where you will be needed in the future. You are not allowed to die."

Su Yonglin laughed and scolded for a while, looked at the rolling water of the Yellow River, and said again: "Even if the change of course is successful, the governance of the Yellow River will be difficult and dangerous. From Taohuayu to the east, there is a risk of going to the river. How long, or on the river.

Therefore, you have to find a way to flush sand with water. In places where the flow rate is gentle, you must do a good job of flushing sand with water. If it takes a long time, it will be longer. The quality of the project must always be ensured, and it cannot be rushed. It was repaired in a hurry, and within a few years the Yellow River became a disaster again. "

"350 billion yuan, Ah Lang, I will never waste this national money, I will spend every penny where it should be spent, otherwise I will have no words to meet A Lang."

Tian Guizi expressed his determination: "I can't guarantee it in three years, but in four years, within four years, I will definitely let the Yellow River return to the old way of the Eastern Han Dynasty! The Shushui Project will also be fully equipped, throttling, flood distribution, and flood discharge. , I will complete all preparations, and after this battle, I will never let the Yellow River get out of control again!"

Su Yonglin smiled and patted Tian Guizi on the shoulder.

"You have never lived up to my expectations, and I can rest assured that you do things."

After talking about the Yellow River diversion project, Su Yonglin talked with Tian Guizi about the conversion of farmland to forests in various parts of Guanzhong.

"It is not difficult to implement the return of farmland to forests. With the basis of the previous white paper, the people are willing to believe that the Daming government has promised them sufficient compensation, and the households in the areas that need to return the farmland to forests can be relocated, and it is not difficult.

However, according to further investigation by the people who sent the past, it was found that the area of ​​soil erosion in Guanzhong was beyond imagination, at least [-]% more serious than the previous report given by the Qilu Corps, and there were too many places that needed to be planted for soil consolidation . "

Tian Guizi frowned upon hearing this.

"Don't you mean that there are still forests left by Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi when they planted trees?"

"Basically, they have all been cut down, and the situation of land annexation in Guanzhong is no better than that in other places. There are also a group of generals who have been rooted in Guanzhong since the ancient Song Dynasty, and there are generals and landlords. Constantly open up wasteland.

This wasteland reclamation means deforestation. The efforts made by Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi in those days were tossed about by them, and they have gone seven or eight, meaningless. Basically, we are starting from scratch, and there is no shortcut.

Therefore, if the strategy of planting afforestation to fix soil is to be effective, it will take several years. In the next few years, the situation of sediment in the Yellow River will not be improved. In order to finally achieve a balance between sediment and scour, at least one needs to be ten years. "

"Damn! A bunch of bastards!"

Tian Guizi clenched his fists: "So Alang, I have long suggested to launch an action in Guanzhong as soon as possible, liquidate the landlords and gentry, re-measure the fields as soon as possible, and carry out comprehensive land reform, so as to not only fully control Guanzhong, but also better promote the return of farmland. Forest!"

"If there is no country of Xia, I would certainly like to get rid of those bastards as soon as possible, but the country of Xia is still there, and the whole army of the country of Xia can be mobilized, and it can also mobilize 30 to [-] troops. At that time, the generals, landlords and gentry who are forced to join forces with the Xia army, how can Guanzhong not dangerous?"

Su Yonglin frowned and said, "Internal troubles are internal troubles, and external troubles are external troubles. If you can deal with them separately, you can deal with them separately. We must not let the two merge into internal troubles and external troubles. At that time, it will be even more difficult to deal with, so I have to clean up Xixia first. , and then rectify the interior.

But don't worry too much about them turning the world upside down. When the Ming law is officially promulgated, I will fully implement the tax reform. At that time, I don't have to worry about the landlords and gentry not showing their fox tails for me to catch. Once I get caught, don't blame me. Ruthless. "

Su Yonglin's eyes flashed fiercely, apparently ready to kill.

And this wave of people to kill will not be very few.

The Yellow River Project has just begun. Obviously, the Ming Empire does not have more financial resources to deal with Xixia. It needs to eradicate a wave of worms and extract military funds from them before they can plot Xixia. Therefore, the battle to eliminate Xixia will be delayed later.

This is really not something that makes people feel happy, but it can't blame Su Yonglin and the Ming Dynasty.

If you want to blame it, you can only blame the Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom for leaving the Ming Dynasty with a bad start, so that the Ming Dynasty is inherently inadequate and must be filled with efforts to become a country with normal development.

Just one repair of the Yellow River feels no less difficult than the difficulty of Dayu's flood control.

Tian Guizi was also quite helpless about this, so he could only nod his head in agreement and said nothing.

From the beginning of August to the beginning of September, Su Yonglin inspected back and forth along the Yellow River, checking the preparation of the projects in various places and the accommodation conditions of the military and civilians participating in the projects. After everything was satisfied, he returned to the Central Capital and continued to control the overall situation.

On the ninth day of September, the day after Su Yonglin returned to the Central Capital, he announced at the Central Capital Conference that the newly compiled "Ming Law" was officially promulgated. rely.

Once the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" was promulgated, it immediately set off a wave of waves in the Ming Dynasty. Officials, scholars, traders, farmers, workers, and the army were all concerned about it.

And when the Ming Dynasty had survived a critical situation without any risk, Zhao Tan and his "administrative foundations" were still worrying about wiping out the war.

If Zhao Tan and the ministers of the main war faction who supported him wanted to develop themselves, the first thing they had to face was the mess after the war ended.

Whether in the local area or in the city of Lin'an, money is being demanded everywhere. Without money, many things cannot be handled.

However, the money has to be exchanged for war reparations and preparation of annual coins, and there is simply not much money left to subsidize local finances and restore local production.

For this reason, the ministers thought about it, but they couldn't think of any effective way.

So much so that some people propose to raise the salt tax again to grab more revenue from the salt tax. Anyway, everyone has to eat salt, which is definitely a huge profit.

But Shi Hao rejected it.

Shi Hao believes that the current salt price has led to the rampant public resentment of private salt. Continuing to increase the salt price will only make more people take risks. It is absolutely not possible to increase the salt price.

Lowering the price of salt lets the common people know that official salt can still be purchased, and cracking down on illicit salt dealers will let the common people know the fate of buying and selling illicit salt. Will be reduced, will continue to choose the official salt.

Only in this way can we fish sustainably, instead of stewing the hens that lay golden eggs in one breath. If that is the case, is it a good thing for Da Song to collectively rebel against people who can't afford salt?
You guys really don't understand at all!

In this regard, Zhao Tan supports Shi Hao, feeling that the price of salt cannot continue to increase, and to continue to increase the price of salt is to play with fire.

This plan was rejected, and some people proposed to increase the commercial tax, increase the commission of the shipping company, and make money from the hugely profitable maritime business group.

This is a method that makes Zhao Tan and his ministers quite excited. He has also heard a little about making money from maritime merchants. The court can get a lot of money from maritime merchants every year, and it is also an important part of fiscal revenue.

If you can do some work in this area, it should be able to increase the financial revenue of the court.

So this method was handed over to Shi Hao and others for careful discussion. If the impact is not large, it will be implemented and make money from the sea merchants.

But this is not something that can be achieved immediately. In order to make money faster, Zhang Jun slapped his head and gave Zhao Tan an idea.
