Bury the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 308 Various Problems of Daming

Rebellion is a particularly non-technical thing - for any traverser, as long as he has read and probably mastered the five volumes of dragon slaying secrets plus the series of books on the cultivation of all things with local methods, the friends of military and local talents, the barefoot doctor's handbook and It is easy to rebel for certain books that are not easy to find resources.

Because the content of the above books includes but is not limited to how to build a team, how to train an army, how to develop industry, how to develop health care and other messy content, it is a blow to reduce dimensionality in any ancient dynasty.

However, it is easy to rebel and conquer the country, but it does not mean that ruling the world is also easy.

Theories such as separation of powers, civil and military checks and balances, and intersecting and stabilizing public power, private power and imperial power are easy to say, but they are often not so easy when it comes to implementing them.

For example, just when Zhu Jinsong was trying to strengthen part of the public power and private power while gathering part of the imperial power, the Ming officials gave Zhu Jinsong a big surprise.

This matter also starts with the abolition of patriarchal rights and the strengthening of household rights.

For any dynasty in ancient times, patriarchal power was a headache, not only for the emperors, but also for the bigwigs in the court.

However, the more annoying point is that those bigwigs in the court often have a headache for the patriarchal power when they are officials. Once they retire and return to their hometown, they themselves become the vested interests of the patriarchal power.

As who said, there are individuals who betray classes, but there are no classes who betray classes.

Therefore, the question of suzerainty always exists.

In order to solve the problem of patriarchal rights, it is not that Zhu Jinsong has tried to forcibly abolish the patriarchal clan, strengthen household rights, and strengthen individual private rights.

However, the operation was as fierce as a tiger, and the feedback result was very touching.

The patriarchal clan is indeed abolished, after all, the emperor who is about to found the country, and no one in the current Ming Dynasty dares to speak against Zhu Jinsong, but after strengthening the consent of individual private rights and household rights, the people began to have doubts about the current Daming law.

This matter has to start with some tabloids in the south of the Yangtze River that have been shut down.

Because Zhu Jinsong has been trying his best to promote sociology and literacy all these years, although Daming's literacy rate is still not very high, as more and more literate people, the demand for reading materials will naturally increase. .

Some messy tabloids naturally came into being.

Before the imperial court reacted, these messy tabloids naturally had a chance to grow barbarously-it is considered light to point out the country on the newspapers, and those who are more courageous even dare to fabricate lace news about the harem, and even make up Some have noses and eyes.

For this kind of messy tabloid, the government in various places naturally arrested people and closed the newspaper.

But again, the imperial court can seal one tabloid or two tabloids, and it’s okay to seal ten or eight tabloids, but the demand for newspapers or reading materials by the people is there, and they always keep going. It is not a long-term solution to solve the problem by sealing tabloids.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Jinsong decided that instead of constantly shutting down tabloids to solve the problem, it would be better to learn from the practices of a certain Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and a certain propaganda department, and directly bring newspapers under control.

For example, private newspapers are allowed, but whoever runs the newspaper is responsible. Once some inappropriate content appears on it, the government will directly find the person responsible.

At the same time, it is also possible to add a review link before the newspaper is issued, even if it is only a rough review, so as to ensure that there are no problems in the general direction.

When we got to this step, everything was still developing towards the good side.

But soon, problems arose.

What is the function of the newspaper?
It is to guide public opinion and to supervise the gains and losses of the imperial court. Zhu Jinsong has never said that newspapers are not allowed to comment on the right and wrong of the imperial court.

But, until the implementation stage, a good thing turned into a bad thing.

The first thing that went wrong was the newspapers that were allowed to run—one of the newspapers in Zhu Jinsong's hands was counted as one, and it was full of content that praised the imperial court.

Zhu Jinsong instinctively felt that something was wrong—I am just a programmer who turned into a network writer, and now I have traveled to govern Daming, so there is nothing I can blame?
Besides, even if I crossed the river by touching the bear, the stupid hawk, and the rabbit, and avoided all the problems that could be avoided, what about the officials and gentlemen of the Ming Dynasty?

For example, the news about how many taels of silver a certain official lord was stripped of, such as the frivolous news that a certain official lord was dismissed because he took a few more concubines, these tabloids didn't report it?
This is fucking abnormal.

And after discovering something was wrong, Zhu Jinsong's first reaction was to have someone f***ing lie to him.

In response to this situation, Zhu Jinsong naturally dispatched Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Tiandihui without hesitation.

And the news reported by Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Tiandihui has indeed proved that something is wrong-the request from Zhu Jinsong and the cabinet is to supervise these tabloids, and the request from the Ministry of Rites to the chief executive It has become strengthened supervision, and after arriving in various states and counties, it has changed from supervision to strengthened supervision to strengthened content control.

This way of playing stunned Zhu Jinsong.

This kind of gameplay looks familiar, huh?

It is true that the reverse drift is gone!

Of course, the problem of this kind of reverse drift is not impossible to solve. After all, the official hats of the officials everywhere are still in the hands of the officials. It is really easy to get rid of some disobedient and troublesome ones. but.

Furthermore, even if those officials were not afraid of the officials, they would be more or less afraid of the gun in Zhu Jinsong's hand.

Then, a topic became popular in these tabloids—whether it is reasonable or unreasonable for Da Ming to carry out the current law of punishing the clan, punishing the three clans, punishing the nine clans, exterminating the family, ransacking the family, and exiling the whole family.

Gradually, this topic shifted from certain tabloids to "Da Ming Newspaper", and "Da Ming Newspaper" also began to discuss whether this kind of law is reasonable or reasonable.

And fucking started drifting in another direction!

Although he had already been prepared in his heart, Zhu Jinsong still felt a pain in the ass when encountering this kind of situation where he would either drift or not.

To put it bluntly, even if you want to be punished or wiped out, is it the treatment that anyone can enjoy?
To put it bluntly, those who are likely to be punished by the three clans, nine clans, exterminate their families, and ransack their homes are basically impossible to be ordinary people, at least they must have a certain status in the world.

For example, the officials.

Those ordinary people, even if they are rushing to enjoy this terrible treatment, they are not qualified!

Therefore, what Zhu Jinsong couldn't understand was why the people of Ming Dynasty were willing to follow and echo such articles when those officials and sages ordered certain literati to publish such articles?

This makes people feel like a bitter tenant farmer, whose child is still hungry and crying, but in the end he boiled two eggs that he had just picked out from the chicken butt with great difficulty, and then gave them to the young master of the landlord's family Sent it!
In other words, cows and horses worry about the butcher.

Although these cows and horses have the opportunity to become butchers in the future, aren't you guys not yet become butchers?
So Zhu Jinsong couldn't figure out what was the reason.

What troubled Zhu Jinsong was actually far more than messy things like many tabloids and people considering private rights for officials and lords.

What made Zhu Jinsong even more troublesome was how Daming should take the next step.

Five small industries, this thing is not difficult for Zhu Jinsong, or it is not difficult for Daming now, but what about in the future?
As the Ming Dynasty occupied more and more territories, the spread of the five small industries became wider and wider. When each county has its own complete five small industries, there will be messy problems such as repeated construction. And then it appeared.

Of course, problems like redundant construction are still minor problems. The real big problem is that with the further development of the industrialization process, the demand for workers in workshops has also increased dramatically.

In fact, not only is there a shortage of a large number of workers in various places, but the Ming court also has this demand, especially Song Yucheng, who is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, can't wait to use one person as two.

According to Song Yucheng, construction sites in various places are now using women as men and men as livestock, but the demand for workers is still in the millions or even tens of millions.

If the local government and private workshops are included, the demand for workers in Ming Dynasty even reached a gap of about 3000 million.

Of course, it is not too difficult to solve the problem of the surge in demand for workers. For example, some people can be removed from the land and transferred to workers in an all-round way.

But these two methods also have their own advantages and disadvantages.

For example, the introduction of labor... Forget it, this kind of idea is fine if you think about it, but it is simply impossible to actually implement it.

Laborers do not have Ming household registration and are not protected by the Ming law. Although they cannot be said to be disposable consumables, they are actually similar.

Such laborers are basically used in the construction of mountains and roads and other projects that need to be filled with their lives. It is impossible for them to enter normal workshops to work.

This is the same as the Chinese laborers who said they went to the Silly Eagle to pan for gold but were sold as piglets to repair the railway in the end.

If the Silly Eagle can do this, of course Zhu Jinsong, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, can also do the same.

Of course, there is another method, such as letting some people leave the land—not to mention whether the people are willing to leave the land, even if the people can leave the land without any opinions, then the income of these people who have left the land Will it get higher?If it becomes higher, will it attract more people to leave the land?
If a large number of people choose to leave the land, can the grain output be guaranteed?How to deal with the large amount of land left idle?Is it to continue to distribute it to other people?Or should it be reserved for the common people who enter the workshop to work?Or use it elsewhere?

If it is distributed to other common people, these common people who enter the workshop to work may not be willing.

If it continues to be reserved for them, is it fair to the people who have been farming?
As for using it in other places... This is similar to distributing it to other people, and those people who work in the workshop will definitely not be willing.

All in all, the current Ming Dynasty is actually full of various messy problems, which makes Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, a headache and wants to kill people.

However, these problems cannot be solved if they are not resolved. After all, they are all related to the future of the entire Ming Dynasty, and they are far from being comparable to such a small problem as the Japanese slaves recruiting a few laborers in Tianzhu.

Therefore, Zhu Jinsong had a headache.

However, Zhu Jinsong has one advantage, that is, he is good at transferring his headaches to others.

For example, faced with all kinds of messy problems of reverse drift and drift, Zhu Jinsong chose to throw the problem to the Ministry of Rites, Yushitai, Jinyiwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The Ministry of Rites should find a way to introduce new regulations, it should find a way, the Yushitai should investigate, the Jinyiwei should be arrested, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate should ask.

Another example is the problem of repeated construction of the five small industries in various places. Of course, it can also be thrown to the big bosses in the cabinet and Song Yucheng, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, to have a headache.

Other issues such as patriarchal rights, private rights, and public rights can of course be left to the cabinet and the big bosses of the Ministry of Punishment to worry about.

Anyway, these people are all paid by the court, and these problems can be regarded as their own responsibility. If these big bosses can't solve the problem, Zhu Jinsong can also choose to solve them, and then replace a group of people who can solve the problem come up.

The only problem with the shortage of workers is that it is useless to throw it at anyone.

Throw it to Liu Huaiwen, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs?
As Liu Huaiwen said: Even if the minister sent a child to Guanyin and sent a child to all married couples in Ming Dynasty, it would take them more than ten years to raise a child to adulthood.

The only thing the Ministry of Household Affairs can do now is to let the household departments in various places and the farmers' associations in various places go to towns and villages in various places to print slogans, such as "How can I get rich in life? Have more children and grow trees!" " or "I can't afford to have children, the imperial court will help you raise them!" and other slogans, thus calling on the people to have more children and plant more trees.

Other than that, there is basically no other way.

Anyway, just a word, no one can solve this problem. If you have the ability, the emperor, you can find a way by yourself.

This made Zhu Jinsong very dissatisfied—if I had a way, would I still think of throwing this problem to you?
